Chapter 198: Recovering the Loop (3) (Page 1/1)

Man Gui said with a smile: "Jinyiwei went deep into the grassland, drew maps, and inquired about news, my guards and Jinyiwei were originally brothers. I would like to thank Commander Wu for his kindness to my Northwest Army, General Sun, then according to this strategy, you will personally lead the troops to attack, and pay attention to encircling three or something? “

Sun Fumin said: "The last general understands that we will leave an opening for the Mongols who want to run away to escape." “

Man Gui touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "I always don't remember these words." But you have to tell the soldiers that the women and children who run away are left alone, but if they are adults, they must be unarmed. A Mongol who lost his bow and saber never had the courage to pick them up again. By the way, let them flee north. “

Sun Fumin nodded, he understood what Man Gui meant, it was to let these fleeing people transmit the desperation of facing the Ming army to the north, maybe to reduce some resistance, so that the guards could reach Linhe faster, and they could also kill fewer people.

Sun Fumin ordered 6,000 men and approached the Mongol tribe from three directions, east, west and south, killing all the adult Mongol men he met on the way, and forcing the children and women to run north.

When he was more than three miles away from the tribe, he could already see the tribe making a mess of internal turmoil. When the Ming army approached half a mile, they did not encounter the Mongols who came out to resist. The Guards dismounted, set up small artillery and waited for the onslaught of the Mongols.

It was another ten minutes before a few hundred Mongols rushed out on horseback. Sun Fumin had already instructed that the Mongols would be frightened at the first contact, so the Guards opened fire as soon as the Mongols came within range of the artillery.

This is a portable nine-pound cannon that uses flowering shells. Where the shells fell, a large amount of smoke and dust flew into the air with severed limbs, armor, and turf. Blood splashed and reflected in the sun, with a palpitating red. The screams of men and the screams of horses converged to make the place where the charging party was located like a hell on earth.

As soon as the Mongols charged the Ming army, they had already opened fire, so the people of the tribe could see clearly what happened to the Mongol warriors. The surviving knights continued to bravely rush towards the Ming army, but they were knocked off their horses by the oncoming firearms and bullets, and the horses without their masters neighed, looking blankly at their masters who had fallen to the ground, and arching their heads in vain over the lifeless bodies.

After the whole battlefield was devoid of the Mongols standing, the guards stepped forward with their fire guns, and the undead bayonet went down, pulled the unwounded horses to the main formation, and put away the scattered weapons, and soon cleared the battlefield.

The people of the tribe watched as the Guards busy, and no one knew what to do. After the Guards had finished cleaning up the battlefield, a soldier who understood Mongolian came forward and said, "Kneel on the ground, lay down your arms, and we will not kill you." “

This sentence woke the bewildered Mongols, and there was a scream from the crowd, and when they saw someone turn around, they ran towards their horses, turned on their horses neatly, and headed quickly towards the north.

The Guards knocked down several armed Mongols with their muskets, and the remaining Mongols either dropped their bows and arrows and fell to their knees, or continued to flee without their lives. The guards didn't bother either, and pointed at the Mongols who continued to stand: "Kneel down and lay down your arms." “

A man shouted, "It's okay to lay down your weapons, it's impossible to kneel, we can only bow down to the Immortal Heaven." “

A crisp sound of fire rang out, and he covered his bleeding chest and scolded, "You robbers, the Immortal Heaven will punish your ......." “

A Guards battalion commander smiled and said, "What were you when you invaded the south to kill people and rob people?" Since you became a robber first, don't blame others for learning from you to be a robber. “

There was an example in front of them, and the Mongols of the entire tribe naturally knew what to do to save their lives, so after three more men died, all of them fell to their knees.

The Guards interrogated a few Mongols, and learned that this was a thousand households under the Wanhu of Ordos, but now there are about 3,000 people in the entire Qianhu, most of whom are grazing outside, and there are now about 1,500 people in the tribe.

The guards sought out the tribal commanders and priests, and Sun Fumin said to them: "The Ming Emperor has told the Wanhu of Ordos that he should give up the land for farming, and that he may be allowed to keep the land for grazing. Your Jinong is unwilling, so the Ming Emperor ordered me to wait to get it. My Han people don't practice grazing, they can only farm, so if you stay here to graze, we will allow it, but we must cut off from the Wanhu of Ordos and join my Daming. Now we are going to Linhe, and you command them to prepare us food for three days, and then think slowly. We'll get back to you no later than we do. “

Naturally, the commander and the priest did not dare to disobey, and the guards were soon provided with the dried meat needed for three days, so they left them behind and continued their march north.

As soon as the commander waited for the Ming army to leave, he sent people to the east to report to Jinong, and the people sent came back the next day, and only one of the ten people came back. It turned out that they also met the Ming army when they went east, and he walked at the end, and finally escaped the fire of the Ming army, so that he could come back to report the news.

The commander of the thousand years consulted with the priest, first wait and see what happens, if Jinong wins, naturally everyone is still Mongolian, if the Ming army wins, as long as you can share the rich pasture, it is to join the Ming Dynasty, so what does it matter.

That night, the Guards rested by a sea of seas. When the soldiers were camping, the men added the dried meat to the vegetarian fried noodles and stewed it over low heat, and the aroma made the soldiers drool. The quartermaster, on the other hand, was glad that most of the food distributed by the logistics department was vegetarian fried noodles with only carrots and potato flour, so that as long as there was enough meat, at least two months' food supply could be guaranteed.

After everyone ate with their mouths full of oil, another person drank a large cup of tea. Everyone then got into the sleeping bag, which was made of wool and warmed and soft, not only to keep out the cold, but also to prevent the camp from roaring, because it took ten seconds to get out of it, which was enough to wake up the soldiers.

After Man Gui took Sun Fumin and the brigade commanders to inspect the camp, they held a short meeting in the big tent. Man Gui pointed to the map and said, "There are still about two hundred and fifty miles to Linhe, and we have walked more than one hundred and seventy miles today. The reason why the speed is so fast is that the first day is in good spirits, and the second is that the battle takes less time. Someone today has fled to the north, and tomorrow there will definitely be an enemy. So tomorrow we will fight alternately, one brigade will quickly move to the march after the battle, and next time another brigade will fight. Tomorrow we will strive to be able to walk 150 miles, pastoral areas are not the focus, as long as we occupy the river, other things will be simple. “
