Volume 16 Chapter 63 The Fall of the Thorn
Early the next morning, under the guidance of Yang Daoying, Qin Yiming quickly led his army to the shore of Bosten Lake, and ran along the lake for a while, and finally a camp tent appeared in front.
Finally found it, Qin Yiming only felt a burst of blood boiling, and the dense tile spur army in the front row of the camp not only did not make him feel frightened, but made him give birth to a longing, a desire for victory and glory.
"Break the court of the Huns, seal the wolf Juxu." , This is the great achievement of Hou Huo, the famous general champion of the Han Dynasty, and it is the goal that countless Han generals have pursued all their lives.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise the steel gun in his hand, pointed forward, and shouted: "The first division is to the left, the second division is to the right, and the others, follow me to break the enemy head-on, kill!" “
Hearing this, the two Ming generals who followed closely behind raised their hands at the same time, and then beat their horses and galloped to both sides, and the cavalry behind immediately divided into two long dragons, followed them, and outflanked the left and right flanks of the Waspur Khan's court.
"Kill", the soldiers of the Ming army shouted together, and the shouts shook the sky.
Facing the imposing Ming cavalry, Gushi Khan couldn't help but tremble for a while, he suppressed the fear in his heart, and ordered loudly: "Erect a shield wall in the front row, the spears stretch out of the shield wall as much as possible, the archers in the back row are ready, and the cavalry will attack left and right to block the Ming army on both wings." “
This is a typical tactic for dealing with cavalry, if you can have some muskets, maybe you can still start the effect, but in the last battle of Hamiwei, the musketeers of the tile spurs did not play a role, and the muskets were all captured by the Ming army, Gushi Khan has lost confidence in the muskets, and he even thinks that it is better to bow and arrow!
Facing this formation, Qin Yiming did not have the slightest fear, he shouted: "Grenade preparation." “
Then, he swung his spear and slapped the horse's buttocks, and rushed to the shield array first.
Behind him, rows of armor-clad Ming generals followed closely, while other Ming cavalrymen pulled out their grenades and clenched them in their hands.
The speed of the horses had reached the limit, and the Ming army was like thunder, and soon rushed to the front of the tile spur formation.
A rain of arrows came over, Qin Yiming waved his spear, swept away the arrows in front of him, and then shouted: "Throw." “
The grenades in the sky were like a black cloud, covering the tile spur array, "boom boom", countless explosions sounded, and the tile spur array was obviously chaotic.
Qin Yiming saw the opportunity, stepped forward and picked up a tile thorn shield soldier like lightning, and before the spearmen behind him could come to his senses, he waved his spear to connect the points, and immediately several spearmen fell down with their necks covered.
After a burst of gunfire, the spearmen of the tile spurs basically became a sieve, and the spearmen and swords behind them did not recover from the stinging pain caused by the grenade, and they ushered in the bayonets of the Ming cavalry.
The tile spur cavalry on the left and right flanks was not much better, and after a few rounds of firing guns, there was another wave of grenades, and before they could meet each other, more than half of them were wounded, and they also ushered in the bayonets of the Ming army in the screams.
The cavalry collapsed quickly, the infantry rushed quickly, and seeing that the brave general was about to rush to the front, Gushi Khan hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, hurry, retreat into the big camp, retreat into the big camp." “
There are also 50,000 sturdy herdsmen hidden in the camp, and the ground is full of tripping horses, as long as both sides pull hard at the same time, they can trip the war horses, it is really not good, they also have a horse rope, whether it is a horse or a person, they are very numb.
Qin Yiming saw that these people not only did not run but also drilled into the camp vigorously, naturally knowing that there were cats in the camp and there were artillery, he would definitely order the entire camp to be burned directly with flowering shells, but he was a long-distance attack, so it was impossible to bring artillery at all.
He thought about it carefully, and then ordered: "Everyone change the wheels, then disperse, throw the grenade on the periphery of the camp and then rush in." “
The guards scattered, and the Ming cavalry quickly dispersed into a semicircle and threw grenades at the inside of the Tile Thorn camp.
There was a terrible scream in the Tile Thorn camp, and the sound was by no means more than the twenty or thirty thousand people who had just retreated.
Qin Yiming pursed his lips and sneered, and when everyone finished throwing out the grenades, he immediately raised his gun and shouted, "Rush." “
The soldiers of the Ming army did not hesitate to rush into the tile spur camp, at this time, the tile spur camp has become a pot of porridge, everywhere is the unlucky ghost who is rolling on the ground in pain, can cooperate with the tripping horse rope is almost gone, only a small half of the herdsmen can still wave the horse rope to set people.
However, this is useless to the Ming soldiers holding the muskets, if they see it in advance, they will be overturned directly with a shot, and even if they don't see it in advance and are trapped, they will be directly overturned with a shot, and these herdsmen will not even have a chance to pull people off their horses.
Gu Shi Khan saw that his painstaking arrangement did not play a role, so he had to use the most familiar tactics of war, thirty-six strategies, and go as the upper plan, with a group of remnants of the defeated generals, and fled to the west in a panic.
Seeing this scene, Qin Yiming shouted: "All the seriously injured horses stay to clean up the battlefield, and the others follow me." “
After that, he directly hit the horse and chased after him, as the guards scattered and passed the order, more and more cavalry followed him, and the number was no less than 40,000, it seems that the Ming army did not suffer much damage in the previous battle.
After chasing for a while, the Tile Spur infantry that fell behind was caught up, Qin Yiming looked at this sparse number of people, and directly ordered: "The fifth division stays and escorts them back to the Tile Spur camp, but there are those who resist, and there is no mercy for killing." “
After that, he beat his horse and continued to chase forward, and behind him, a military general led thousands of cavalry to pounce on the tile spur foot soldiers who fell behind, but those who did not surrender were all killed.
There were more than 10,000 spur cavalry left in front, escorting Gushi Khan to continue to flee westward, and Qin Yiming led the army to chase after him, and this chase was half a day.
Chasing and chasing, a huge convoy suddenly appeared in front, and countless women, old people, and children, driving ox carts and livestock, rushed to the west in a panic.
Gushi Khan fled here, did not stop, just glanced at it desolately, and then hid his face with tears in his eyes.
Seeing this scene, Qin Yiming only raised his hand to let his subordinates reduce the speed of their horses, and then hurriedly ordered: "All the wounded, whether serious or not, all stay, escort these people back to the Tile Thorn camp, remember, do not rob property, do not bully women, violators, there will be no mercy!" “
Soon, a small half of the Ming cavalry broke away from the brigade and stayed, and Qin Yiming led more than 20,000 cavalry to continue to chase westward.
This chase was nearly two days and one night, and in the evening of the next day, the cavalry of the Ming army and the cavalry of the tile spurs chased and fled hundreds of miles into the territory of the Kazakh Khanate, and the cavalry of the tile spurs in front of them were finally sleepy and tired, and could no longer hold on.
In fact, there are already many war horses in the cavalry team of the Ming army foaming at the mouth, and they can't hold on anymore, but Qin Yiming just doesn't care about it, gritted his teeth and chases straight after!
Seeing that there were more and more horses and cavalry falling to the ground, Gushi Khan had to sigh and order, the whole army slowed down, stopped advancing, and surrendered to the Ming army.
At this point, the entire army of the Tile Thorn and Shuote Department was annihilated, and even the Tile Thorn co-ruler Gushi Khan was captured by Qin Yiming.
Immediately afterwards, the Tile Thorn Clan, the Dulbert Tribe, and the Turghut Department were destroyed one after another, and the Taiji of each tribe was either killed or captured, and the once prosperous Mengyuan Tile Thorn Department was annihilated from then on!
