Kundu Liha led the army to escape, and in the face of the elite of the border army of Xuanfu Town, which was endlessly armed with various weapons and equipment, he had no choice but to run.

At this time, in the Ming army, coach Yang Cong was a little stunned when he saw this scene.

He really didn't expect the Tartar cavalry to be so vulnerable.

He was quite aware that hot weapons would replace cold weapons and become the master of the battlefield, but he didn't expect that with these relatively primitive hot weapons in his hands, he would be able to beat the strongest cavalry in the era of cold weapons like this.

What is the reason for this?

Looking at the fleeing Tartar cavalry, he fell into deep thought again.

He has developed a habit of analyzing the reasons for his victories after each battle, in the hope that he will be able to continue to win in the next battle.

In fact, the battle was not long, and the Tatar cavalry could be said to be crushed at the first touch, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they were inexplicably victorious.

He pondered the battle for a moment, and soon remembered a crucial point, that is, the second round of muskets was fired, and the Tartar cavalry began to retreat, and it was clear that the commander of the Tartar cavalry was frightened by the rate of fire of the muskets.

Perhaps, this is the fundamental reason for your victory, once the rate of fire of thermal weapons is raised, it is simply a harvesting machine on the battlefield, think about a few Gatling or Maxim, no matter how many cavalry may be scared.

He was thinking about it there, and Tang Kekuan next to him suddenly asked cautiously, "My lord, should we catch up?" ”

By this time, the Tartar cavalry had already rushed to the avenue and fled frantically north, leaving only wounded soldiers on the battlefield who had been killed by artillery and muskets, or who had stepped on thistles and fallen off their horses.

Yang Cong thought about it, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, we don't have an advantage in the chaotic battle, let's order people to clean up the battlefield first and then advance slowly, as for the fleeing Tartar cavalry, just send scouts to keep an eye on them." ”

He is not the kind of reckless man who gets a little advantage and has a hot brain, it is obviously unrealistic to chase the Tartar cavalry at this time, not to mention whether to chase or not, the formation must not be maintained when pursuing, in case the Tartar cavalry kills a horse pistol, it will be troublesome, the scattered car formation can not stop the flexible cavalry at all, once the Tatar cavalry breaks into the car formation, it will be a disaster.

When Tang Kekuan heard this, he had to order people to start cleaning the battlefield, and at the same time sent scout cavalry to bite behind the Tartar cavalry.

The battlefield at this time is not easy to clean up, because there are not only tripping horses and thistles on the ground, although the tripping horses are still neatly lined up there, the thistles are trampled everywhere by the Tartar cavalry, and it is very troublesome to clean up, Li Fengming and Tang Kekuan commanded tens of thousands of soldiers to work for more than an hour to clean up the battlefield.

However, the results this time were quite brilliant, and the number of victories even exceeded the last battle of the Dining Chamber.

Probably because Kundu Liha was frightened and did not care about the casualties, this time they not only captured more than 2,000 Tartar cavalry heads, but also captured hundreds of wounded Tartar soldiers, and more than 1,000 war horses.

This result was indeed a bit unexpected for Yang Cong, but it also strengthened his determination to develop thermal weapons, at this time he still built the most primitive arquebus and small tiger squat cannon can achieve such results, if he creates advanced flintlock pistols and cannons or something, it is not as simple as chopping melons and vegetables to deal with the Tartar cavalry.

In fact, he was still affected by rumors, a little overestimated the strength of the Tartar cavalry, in history, Qi Jiguang also used arquebuses and tiger squat cannons, and they were also front-loaded, and the number was far less than him, and the Tatar cavalry who also fought was full of urine.

To put it bluntly, the Tartar cavalry at this time has long lost the momentum of the world in the Mengyuan period, and they have not defeated the Ming Dynasty and regained the confidence to seize the country.

Like this time, Kundu Liha just wanted to grab some pots and pans, but he didn't expect to suffer such a severe blow.

Kundu Liha wants to cry at this time, is it necessary to do this, it is a musket and an artillery, I just want to grab some pots and pans, okay, do you need to bombard me with artillery!

Where did he still have the courage to kill back the carbine, after breaking out of the Ming army's car formation, he led his remnants to flee all the way to the north, without looking back, in half a day, he led the army to run more than 200 miles, and fled directly to the outside of the plug.

I have to say that the potential to explode when people flee for their lives is still quite terrifying, and if you want to change the peacetime, an army of 30,000 can advance more than 200 miles a day, which is not bad.

Yang Cong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he received the report of the scout, now it's okay, the enemy army in Ulzhou has fled back to the outside of the Saiwai, and the entire Datong Town is left near the Datong Mansion City.

After cleaning the battlefield, he ordered his subordinates to rest for a while, and the next morning, he led his army straight to Datong Fucheng.

At this time, the elite of the border army in Datong Town and Taiyuan Town were actually on the road, mainly most of them were foot soldiers, and Yulinwei and Yanmen Pass were almost two hundred miles away from Datong Mansion City, they were not as neatly equipped as Yang Cong, and the battle with the Tartar cavalry only relied on cold weapons, and the cold weapon combat cavalry was more restrained by the foot soldiers, so they were extremely careful and kept the formation slowly advancing, for fear of being attacked by the Tartar cavalry.

Ji Nang also had the idea of sneaking up on Datong Town and Taiyuan Town to reinforce the troops, because in the field battle, the cavalry had an absolute advantage over the foot soldiers, and once these foot soldiers entered the city fortress, the cavalry became the inferior side.

However, considering the consequences of the engagement, he hesitated a little, the Ming border army is not vegetarian, even if they encounter a sneak attack by cavalry, they can desperately bite you down a piece of meat.

The main purpose of his coming to Datong Town is to grab some pots and pans, and it seems that the pots and pans are almost all over at this time, do you want to fight the danger of losing hundreds or even thousands of people and horses to defeat the two reinforcements and grab more other things?

If you can grab more food or even the population, it will naturally be better, the problem is that the defense of Datong Town is too tight, there are fortresses everywhere, it is not easy to grab it at all!

When he was hesitating, Kundu Liha had been defeated by Yang Cong all the way and fled, and Kundu Liha fled quite embarrassed, and he didn't even have time to send someone to report to him, until he escaped from the Great Wall, Kundu Liha sent a fast horse to report the news to him, and at this time, the army led by Yang Cong was less than a hundred miles away from Datong City.

The elite of the border army in Xuanfu Town is not the same as that of Datong Town and Taiyuan Town, they are not pure foot soldiers, to be precise, they are chariots and cavalry, and the advance speed is still very fast, and it is not a problem to advance two or three hundred miles a day, and the distance of a hundred miles, as long as you work hard, it does not take half a day to arrive.

At this time, Ji Nang was startled, because Yang Cong had already knocked him out of the shadows, and the border army of Xuanfu Town, he really didn't want to touch it until he found a good way to restrain firearms.

He finally stopped hesitating, and as soon as the army of Xuanfu Town approached, he led the army to the north, and fled outside the Great Wall in less than half a day.
