Chapter 718: Conquest of Mongolia (2)
Sonomu's command was like a stimulant, directly igniting the madness of the Mongolian cavalry of the Ao Han Division.
"Woo~~"
The dull and long horn sounded beside Sonomu, and the Mongol cavalry, who had already scattered in all directions, heard the sound and gathered again after a large circle around the Han army headquarters.
"Charge, kill all the Han dogs!"
Sonomu's face was already a little drooping, and a hint of hideousness flashed on his face.
This is a grassland, not a place where Han people can take care of the murderer.
On the snow-white earth, the Mongol cavalry quickly assembled into a large formation and began to pounce towards the scattered front of the Han army.
After the scene where the vanguard was routed just now, the Mongols had realized that their bows and arrows were of little use to the Han Chinese, and that they could only rely on the charge of cavalry to win a decisive victory.
Sun Jieyou, the commander of the first battalion of the Han army, sneered when he saw this situation, the Mongols want to charge now, so I have to ask me if the Han army agrees.
"Turn the horse's head and retreat in the direction of the Chinese army."
As soon as the first battalion moved, the second battalion immediately followed suit.
The Han cavalry, which had been scattered in the steppe, began to withdraw as much as possible from the range of the Mongols like frightened animals.
"Bang", "Bang"
Just as the Han army was turning, the crisp sound of muskets rang out again on the grassland.
In the Mongolian army, one of Sonom's personal soldiers was overturned from his horse by a stray bullet flying from nowhere, and Sonom's personal soldiers were so frightened that he hurriedly pressed him into the team again.
"Manguo"
Sonomu shouted angrily.
The Mongols are now somewhat blind.
Due to the attack of the Han army, the Mongol cavalry assembled in a hurry, and it was simply unable to carry two horses like the Han cavalry.
In the face of the Han army's incessant return shooting, the Mongols could only watch their own people being shot off their horses one by one.
Just when Sonomu was at a loss, a burst of screams sounded in the direction of the gathering area of the Ao Han Division.
The 2,000 Han cavalry led by Jiao Mintong rushed into the gathering area of the Ao Han Department.
"The King"
The Mongol cavalry that came out with Sonom all looked at him anxiously.
Under the eager eyes of the crowd, Sonomu gritted his teeth and shouted, "Go back to the camp."
In just a short period of pursuit, the cavalry of the Ao Han Department was directly shot and killed by seven or eight hundred people.
At this moment, more than 5,000 Mongolian cavalry wanted to turn around and return to the camp, but the first and second battalions of the Han army did not do it.
"Battalion commander, look, the Mongols want to retreat."
"Change horses, pursuit"
The cavalry of the Han army, which was still running in all directions just now, gathered again and began to pursue the Mongols in reverse.
Yu Chenglong followed the cavalry team and raised the cavalry gun in his hand excitedly.
"Bang", "Bang"
Aiming at the Mongolian cavalry with his back to him in front, Yu Chenglong firmly pulled the trigger.
"Ahh
A Mongolian cavalryman in a leather robe fell in response, provoking an even louder cheer from the Han army.
From Yu Yongkai's position, the Han cavalry was like a sheep, constantly shooting the Mongols and driving them towards the settlement.
Now Yu Chengchan finally knows why the instructors at the Imperial Defense University at that time said that being a soldier in the Han Dynasty was basically to pick up credit.
Sonomu wanted to take the soldiers and horses back to save his people, but he knew that he was in danger of being destroyed under the pursuit of the Han army, and he panicked a little.
However, before he could come up with any other way, a large group of Han cavalry appeared again from the south, and it seemed that there were at least nearly 10,000 people.
Reinforcements from the Han army arrived.
A flash of desperation flashed in Sonomu's eyes.
The Han Chinese were too strong, and the Mongols had no chance of winning.
A thick sorrow inexplicably rose to Sonom's heart, the Han people are strong, and the Mongols will be weakened, this is almost an unchanged truth for thousands of years, is it going to start to be staged again.
"Surrender or Kill"
"Surrender or Kill"
Just when the Mongolian cavalry led by Sonomu was in a dilemma, dozens of cavalry rushed out of the Han cavalry in front, holding a megaphone and shouting in Mongolian.
"The King"
Sonomu's cavalry looked at him with a look of panic.
Turning his head to look at the Ao Han camp that had begun to become chaotic, and then at the team of more than 4,000 people left under his command, a tear slipped from the corner of Sonomu's eyes, "Surrender."
"King, the Han dog can't believe it!"
"How can the descendants of Genghis Khan bow their heads to the Han dogs"
The cavalry under Sonomu was furious.
Sonomu turned around and slapped the most ferocious subordinate under his horse, and pointed at his camp with a furious expression and shouted:
"Look at it, look at how many Han people there are, look at our camp, if you don't surrender, do you want all my Ao Han troops to be killed?"
The cavalry of the Ao Han tribe suddenly fell silent, and the entire horse team began to stop.
Seeing this situation, Sun Jieyou loudly ordered, "Suspend shooting and prepare for surrender."
In the camp of the Ao Han tribe, the war ended just as soon as it began.
Although Jiao Mintong only rushed into the Mongol gathering place with only 2,000 cavalry, with his sharp muskets, after shooting dozens of people with bows and arrows who wanted to resist, in the Han army's slogan of "surrender and not kill", the Ao Han tribe also surrendered shamefully.
Dalantai, far away on the hillside, was also discovered by the Han army.
Dalantai originally thought that he was going to be killed on the spot, but who knew that the Han army who saw him shouted in broken Mongolian: "Don't be afraid, the Han army will not kill people."
Immediately afterward, he was picked up and slipped onto the Han soldier's horse, and trotted all the way back to the camp.
It didn't take long for Sonomu and the others who had surrendered to be unarmed and escorted back under the watchful eye of more than 10,000 Han cavalry.
Tens of thousands of men, women, and children from the Ao Han tribe were all escorted outside the gathering area to wait for the Han army to fall.
Dressed in a simple military uniform, Mu Jingnan rode out on horseback, accompanied by a Mongol captive as an interpreter.
"Who is the leader of the Ao Han tribe?"
Sonomu walked out with his chest straightened and glared, "I am."
"What about the other leaders of the tribe?"
Tens of thousands of men and women in the Ao Han Department were silent.
Mu Jingnan said in a deep voice, "Escort him up first."
Seeing several Han soldiers rushing into the crowd and escorting Sonomu to the side, the men, women and children of the Ao Han Department were immediately excited.
The Han soldiers held their guns from all sides, and only then did they suppress the men and women.
Mu Jingnan waved his hand and rode on his horse and said:
"Fellow villagers of the Ao Han Department, our Han army is here to liberate you, and will never kill you indiscriminately, you can rest assured."
Dalantai was surprised to hear the words that came out of the mouth of the Mongol beside the Han leader.
How can the Han people be so good at talking, and what does that liberation mean?
Mu Jingnan pointed to the bound Sonomu, "He is your leader, he lives in a big tent, drinks wine and eats meat every day, and the whole tribe is his property, but he never works.
You poor herdsmen, one by one, have to work from morning to dark every day, but all the cattle, sheep and horses in this tribe have nothing to do with you, and if there is a war, you have to fight for him, do you think such a day is fair? ”
More than 30,000 men and women in the Ao Han Department were at a loss in their eyes.
Mu Jingnan was not discouraged, but continued his own discourse system:
"But today our Han army is coming, and the days of suffering in the Ao Han Department are over, from today on, all the cattle and sheep in the Ao Han Department will be evenly distributed to everyone, and these will become your own property, and from today on, you can also drink wine and eat meat."
"Boom"
The men, women, and children of the Ao Han Department all understood this sentence, and looked at Mu Jingnan in shock one by one, with a look of disbelief in their eyes.
Give us the sheep and cattle?
What about the man?
Mu Jingnan pointed at Sonomu, "From now on, there will be no need for the head of the Ao Han Department, all of you will become the subjects of my Han Emperor, and my Han people will select talents from among you to manage the Ao Han Department together." ”
"Bastard, I'm the master of the Ao Han tribe."
When Sonomu heard this, he immediately began to struggle frantically, which was originally quite calm.
Mu Jingnan directly ordered the soldiers who were guarding him to "shut his mouth".
If the Han army did this at the beginning, I was afraid that the Ao Han Department would riot immediately.
But now after hearing Mu Jingnan's words that he would give all the cattle and sheep to himself and others, although they didn't believe it in their hearts, the men, women, and children of the Ao Han Department still shifted most of their attention to this.
There was silence.
