Chapter 549: The Mongol Tribes Surrender
At the same time that Uchitai and the others were locked up in Ulanqab City, Prince Hutu and the others, who were still watching the battle on the high slope a few miles west of Ulanqab, instantly felt a chill on their backs, and cold sweat also soaked the clothes on their backs.
"Prince Hutu, the Ming army really had a premeditated plan, and the Mongolian departments are finished!" The high-ranking old man of Chahar said with great sorrow.
Prince Hutu also clenched his fists with great forbearance, and at the same time, he was extremely glad in his heart, fortunately, he held back at the beginning, and did not really send Chahar's troops to participate, otherwise they Chahar would not be spared, and they would be wiped out by the Ming army.
Prince Hutu doesn't think that since the Ming army has designed the Mongolian tribes, they will miss their Chahar, I'm afraid that they will wait for them Chahar to participate, so that they can catch it all together, hehe, what a ruthless strategy!
"Hey, hey, close the door and hit the dog!" Seeing that all the four gaps were blocked, Ji Feng smiled extremely sinisterly.
Ji Feng estimated that there were about 150,000 Mongolian cavalry trapped in Ulanqab City, and counting the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry killed outside, only more than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry were not trapped in Ulanqab City.
However, their situation was not much better, the soldiers of the Seventh Army and the Nineteenth Army held rifles, formed a half-moon formation to encircle them from three sides outside the gap due north of Ulanqab City, and the gap due north had been blocked by more than 2,000 Ming soldiers and 30 machine guns on both sides. More than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry outside the city were not only unable to rush into the city, but also unable to escape from three sides in the face of the combined encirclement of the Seventh Army and the Nineteenth Army, and were fiercely caught in the middle.
The soldiers of the Seventh and Nineteenth Corps kept approaching, and when they came into range, they continued to fire intensively.
"Bang Bang Bang"
A large number of Mongol cavalry units were pierced by bullets and fell.
On the inside of the city, for the other more than 150,000 Mongolian cavalry troops who were blocked in the city, all the artillery of the four armies opened heavy fire on the city at this time.
"Boom Boom"
A total of 320 90-millimeter field artillery pieces roared.
The shells continued to fall and exploded in the city, and more than 150,000 cavalry units including Wu Chitai in the city were scurried around in the violent explosion.
"Ah" The Mongolian cavalry on the horse, because they were sitting on horseback and in a position too high, was simply the best target for shrapnel mass destruction, and almost every shell explosion could take the lives of more than five or six Mongolian cavalrymen.
Wu Chitai clenched his teeth, his eyes were red, and he was not willing to fail like this.
"Everyone rushes to the four gaps, and they will definitely be able to rush out!" Uchitai shouted, hoping that the cavalry would open a way to escape at all costs, otherwise all of their troops would be handed over to the rest of the world.
Of course, the other Mongol chiefs were not willing to sit back and wait for defeat like this.
"Everyone, rush!"
In the battle of the trapped beasts, the leaders of the Mongolian tribes led the tribal cavalry under their command to resist the fierce artillery fire that continued to explode in the city, and did the last struggle.
"Kill"
Countless Mongol cavalry continued to rush towards the four gaps.
They didn't believe it, there was a gap of 100 meters in the four, and the Ming army could really be sealed all of them, leaving no chance of survival.
"Boom!"
A cannonball exploded in front of a tribal leader in a violent gallop.
The force of the cannonball lifted the tribal leader into the sky along with the horse he had sat on, and his body was torn apart by shrapnel as he fell, and he died in a terrible state.
Another tribal leader was not far away and saw the terrifying scene.
Seeing that the gap in the west was approaching, the tribal leader gritted his teeth, suppressed the fear in his heart, and roared and commanded his tribal cavalry to start attacking the gap.
"Fire!" A battalion commander of the Seventeenth Army, who was guarding this gap, looked at the crazy Mongolian cavalry, his expression was full of mockery, and he ordered indifferently.
More than a dozen machine guns opened fire in unison.
"Bang bang bang" and nearly a thousand other infantry also opened fire in unison.
Bullets came out from the muzzle, forming a dense barrage, the Mongolian cavalry of the impact was like a slaughtered lamb, there was no room for resistance under the barrage, just a moment, the Mongolian cavalry that hit this gap was heavily killed and wounded, the corpses of the cavalry soldiers and war horses accumulated a layer, almost all over the ground, and the soil on the ground could not be seen, the air was only filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people smell their faces white and their legs were weak, and the Mongolian cavalry here was indeed almost in such a state, Fear filled their hearts.
The same is true of the other three gaps, no matter how crazy the Mongol cavalry is, they can't reissue the barrage, leaving a large number of corpses at a distance of more than 200 meters in front of the gap, and the blood that flows out stains all the dirt on the ground red.
"Boom Boom"
The shelling outside the city never stopped, and at every moment shells fell and exploded inside the city, taking the lives of a large number of Mongol cavalry.
The shell has no eyes, and no one can predict whether the next shell will explode right in front of them and tear itself apart.
Fear and despair are spreading.
Clever Mongol cavalry began to abandon their horses and climb the wall more than two meters high on horseback, preparing to climb over the wall and escape.
More and more Mongols began to do this, and even the desperate Uchitai was a little moved, but Uchitai also knew very well that even if they could escape over the wall more than two meters high, they would never be able to escape the pursuit of the Ming army's iron cavalry, and they would also die.
Just as Uchitai thought, the Mongols gave up their horses and climbed over the two-meter-high city wall, and they could not escape death.
Outside the city, the soldiers of the First Army rode around the city on their horses, and if they spotted the Mongols who had climbed over the city walls, they immediately shot them down.
Looking at the cavalry of the Ming army who were immediately shot and killed by the iron cavalry of the Ming army cruising outside the city after climbing the city wall, Wu Chitai's heart was full of sorrow, and he really couldn't escape.
"Boom, boom, boom", heavy artillery fire continued to take the lives of one Mongolian cavalry after another.
"Wuchitai Alliance Leader, I can't rush out, you have an idea!" Some tribal leaders couldn't bear to continue to watch one tribal cavalry after another being killed by the artillery fire of the Ming army, looked at Wu Chitai and said, the desperation in his tone was that everyone knew what he meant.
"Leader of the Uchitai Alliance, there is no way, leave some seeds for the Mongolian tribes!" Another tribal leader said with a sad face.
Wu Chitai looked at the sky of the grassland, and sighed weakly, yes, there is no way, there is no way to escape, and if the Ming army is bombed like this, the grassland departments will really not even be able to keep the seeds, and now, there is only one way to surrender to the Ming army.
"Let the ministries begin to surrender to the Ming army!" When Uchitai said this, not only did all the Mongols breathe a sigh of relief, but even his own heart was relieved, as if he was glad that he had been able to save his life.
Outside the city, more than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry troops surrounded by the Ming Army's Seventh Army and the Nineteenth Army could not withstand the slaughter of the Seventh Army and the Nineteenth Army, and after nearly half of the casualties, they also chose to surrender to the Ming Army.
