Chapter 751: Victory in Battle
Arslen Khan issued a royal decree, and countless tribal warriors met in the royal tent of Arslen Khan.
On the day before the departure of the oath, Arslen Khan stood on a high platform and looked at the cavalry that covered the sky and the sun, and Arslen Khan did not have the ambition he had before.
This time he went to fight Jia Ke, and he didn't know how many of these warriors would be able to return.
Meng He stood next to Arslenhan, and comforted him: "Great Khan, don't worry too much, we have already arranged a retreat, this time we will fight with Jia Ke, if you can win, you will win, and if you can't win, you will take advantage of the situation to go west." ”
Arslen Khan nodded, although he said that he had arranged for the migration of men and horses to the west, but the results were not optimistic, those tribal leaders did not want to give up everything on the steppe, and go to the bitter cold land of the west to suffer.
But this time the battle with Jia Ke has reached a life-and-death juncture, thinking that those tribes have to move westward no matter what kind of attitude they have now.
On the second day, Arslenhan took 500,000 steppe cavalry and went straight to Jiake.
The armies of the two sides marched in this direction, and after more than ten days, the armies of the two sides met on a flat grassland.
Fortunately, the grassland is still very large, otherwise there will be no place to stay by these nearly 2 million people.
Jia Ke is not ready to fight with Arschoon Khan anymore, he used to fight with the other party, because he has a lot of troops, and he has no choice but to fight.
And now that Jia Ke is in command of a million troops, he thinks he can sweep away all the ghosts, snakes, and gods, so there is no need to waste time with them like this.
Therefore, the next day Jia Ke set up a position and attacked the Tatar camp.
Arslen Khan was a little caught off guard, he thought that the two sides would send generals to each other in front of the battle, but he didn't expect Jia Ke to directly send a large army to attack.
Arslen Khan hurriedly ordered Meng He to lead the whole army to resist Jake's attack.
And Meng He received the king's order, came to the camp and commanded his soldiers to go to Dazhai, all kinds of bows and arrows were ready, and they were waiting for Jia Ke's men and horses to come and die.
As a result, Jaco's army stopped marching seven or eight hundred paces from the Tatar camp. Then hundreds of cannons were pushed to the front of the battle.
Although Meng He said that he was resourceful, it was the first time he had seen this iron bump, and he didn't understand what these things were used for a while.
However, Meng He knew that once the other party attacked, it would be overwhelming, so he kept driving the soldiers to Dazhai and waiting for reinforcements to reinforce the soldiers who died in the previous battle.
At this moment, the cannons began to fire.
And Meng He only felt that in his ears, the sound of thunder was loud, and then he went and saw countless fireballs coming straight towards the wall.
The Tatars were not good at building large camps, and their walls were only built up of wood, so how could they withstand the bombardment of these artillery.
As a result, after the first round of artillery, the wall facing Jia Ke had become scattered and had almost no effect.
Meng He was already dumbfounded when he saw this situation, he didn't expect that there was such a fierce weapon in the world at all.
But Meng He has been on the battlefield for a long time after all, and knows that it has now reached the most critical juncture.
So Meng He didn't care about defense now, and immediately ordered the cavalry under his command to rush out of the big battle village and start to attack Jia Ke's side.
Meng He's meaning is to rush to the opponent's formation with the speed of cavalry, and destroy all these unknown fires, if you can use cavalry to disrupt the opponent's formation, you may be able to keep the peace of Dazhai.
But Jia Ke has been fighting with them for so many years, and he has long known this set of Tatars.
Jia Ke saw that the opponent's Dazhai had been flattened, and immediately ordered the musketeers to step forward.
Then the artillery was ordered to slowly retreat into the formation, and then the solid shells were replaced with grapeshot shells. Then the cavalry of the Tatars began to bombard.
At this time, the Tatar cavalry knew what a rain of bullets was.
At first, it was artillery bombardment, and these grapeball shells fired by the cannons rained down on the Tatars.
Each launch can cut a large part of the Tatars' men and horses, and these hundreds of paces are a moat that the Tatars can never cross.
However, the bravery of the Tatars was still beyond Jia Ke's imagination, although the cavalry in front fell off their horses one by one and died, but the people in the rear did not pause, and still kept charging forward on the corpses of their comrades.
In this way, the Tatar cavalry slowly approached Jake's home camp under the bombardment of artillery.
As the Tatars approached Jia Ke's camp, they thought that they were about to pick up the other party, so they became even more excited one by one, howling and rushing towards Jia Ke's military camp.
As a result, Jia Ke taught them what it was, and the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
As the Dada cavalry approached Jaco's victory by 100 paces, the flintlock pissiers began to fire continuously.
This time, under the incessant attack of artillery and muskets, the Tatars seemed to have run into an impregnable wall in front of them.
No matter how brave the Tatars were, no matter how much they charged, they could not get close to within 80 paces of Jaco's army.
When Meng He saw this situation after the battle, he was already heartbroken, and he now felt a fear that had never appeared before.
Now Meng He has nothing to do, and in the face of absolute power, his plan is now completely useless.
At this moment, Ars Khan came to the front of the formation, saw this situation, frowned and looked down for a while, and then suddenly gave an order, and the remaining cavalry immediately straightened up, withdrew from the camp and moved north.
Meng He was a little anxious when he heard this order, "Great Khan, in this case, what should we do with the 100,000 or so horses in front of the battle?" ”
Arslen Khan glanced at Meng He calmly, and then said: "The matter has come to this point, there is no other way but to sacrifice these horses so that the rest of our army can retreat safely." Otherwise, the war continues, and we will be wiped out here today. ”
After Meng He listened to Ars's words, he was silent for a long time, and he could only reluctantly agree.
Although Meng He was resourceful, he was not as decisive as Arstun Khan, so when it came to the final decision, Arstun Khan was able to judge the situation rationally and make trade-offs.
Ars Khan ordered that the cavalry in the camp could not care about anything, and immediately regrouped his men and horses, hurriedly left the camp, and fled north.
And the cavalry in front of the battle, who were still attacking Jia Ke's camp, also felt that something was wrong, and at first they heard the sound of shouting, but as their number of people became smaller and smaller, they gradually weakened.
As a result, some people looked back and saw that the camp was empty, and this time it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Tatar cavalry attacking Jake's camp was immediately in chaos.
Seeing this situation, Jia Ke knew that the opportunity could not be lost, and immediately ordered the Eight Banners cavalry to divide into two parts, with both sides outflanking the past.
These Tatar cavalry originally wanted to escape, but they were blocked by the Eight Banners cavalry, and finally had to dismount and surrender.
After receiving the news that the other party had dismounted and surrendered, Jia Ke pondered for a moment and immediately ordered the musketeers to continue the attack, and the Eight Banners cavalry blocked the back road.
The Tatars, who had dismounted, thought they were safe, but Jake did not accept the surrender of these men, so they died one by one in despair under the constant bombardment of artillery and muskets.
And Sun Yan, who was standing next to Jia Ke, couldn't bear to see this situation.
"Your Majesty, the Tatars have already surrendered, why kill the prisoners?"
"Sun Aiqing, you are a woman's benevolence, the purpose of going north this time is to completely exterminate the Tatars, if these people are surrendered, how to settle them in the end, so that they become slaves of the Eight Banners tribe? Don't you think that Eight Banners is strong enough now? ”
Sun Yan only understood Jia Ke's mind when he heard this, although the Eight Banners Tribe is now obeying Jia Ke's orders, but after all, Jia Ke has a day of absence, and when Jia Ke is gone, if the Eight Banners Tribe is too strong, it will also form a new threat. It is better to limit the number and strength of the Eight Banners now, and there will be trouble in the future.
After Sun Yan figured it out, he silently stepped aside and stopped talking.
In the evening, the battle was over, and then Jia Ke ordered someone to count the results.
This matter was mainly taken care of by Sun Yan, and after the evening, Sun Yan had already done the matter and came to see Jia Ke with the paperwork.
"Your Majesty, the results of the battle have been counted."
"How? How many casualties did our army have? ”
"If you go back to Long live, our army did not suffer many casualties in this battle, only more than 500 people were killed and more than 1,000 were wounded."
"And what about the Tatars."
When Sun Yan heard Jia Ke ask about the casualties of the Tatars, the smile on his face could no longer be stopped.
"Long live, the Tatars have 100,000 dead and wounded this time, and this time it is enough for them to suffer even if they are not allowed to break their muscles and bones."
Jia Ke was quite satisfied when he heard this, and the casualty ratio of firearms to cold weapons was okay.
"Let the army rest for a day, and tomorrow the army will continue to move north."
After the army rested for a day, Jia Ke continued to the north with his men and horses.
This time, Jia Ke sent all the cavalry of the Eight Banners out, if not for anything else, but to find the traces of Arslen Khan's army.
Besides, the current Arsren Khan finally settled down by a pond after taking the remnants of his defeated army and breaking away from contact with Jake.
Then Arstun Khan immediately summoned the leaders of the tribes to the Great Tent.
This time, the hands of the tribes did not drag as before, and on the side of Ars Khan, as soon as the order was given, they all hurried to the big tent.
It seems that today's big war has scared these people.
After Arslen Khan entered the big tent, he saw the heads of these tribes below, all of them were as white as earth, and their faces were full of decadence. Even his chief thinker, Meng He, now has a gloomy face.
Arslen Khan sighed, then sat down on the big seat in the center, and said to the people below: "You have all seen the battle today, what should you do next?" Let's talk about it. ”
