Chapter 704: Rain of Arrows
Tabu was hit by an arrow in his shoulder, and the rugged Mongol man roared and pulled the arrow out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This arrow is flat, like a small shovel, heavy and no edge, but the damage caused by the human body is far more powerful than the light arrow, fortunately, Tabu Bag's body is wearing two armor, a layer of chain mail and a layer of cotton armor, when he wandered all the way from the Tumut Department to the west, in the middle of the inevitable to do some robbery, otherwise can not go all the way, to the Inner Khalkha tribe was Ang Anteiji Xiang, it was included in the tribe armored cavalry, and also commissioned him to be a centurion, Tabu Sang felt the friendship of Ang Antaiji, and gladly stayed to serve.
As a result, on the battlefield at this time, Tabu Nang watched his subordinates and partners being shot down, the Mongols were like pheasants and rabbits being shot by the Jurchens, Tabu Nang had been hit by many arrows, fortunately, it was not as deep as the arrow on the shoulder, and his mount ear was also shot off, and he kept spinning on Tabu Nang, and the rain of heavy arrows came madly, so that the Mongolian cavalry had no choice, and Tabu Nang's roar was also pale and weak, and when he saw a heavy arrow piercing the neck of a cavalryman, and then hitting the horse's buttocks, After nailing the whole cavalryman to the horse, Tabu Nang even roared much quieter.
The heavy arrow shooting finally slowed down, and the Mongols also approached before the opponent's infantry formation, a large-scale hand-to-hand combat immediately began, compared to the scattered array of the Mongols, the Jurchens' infantry formation was still rigorous and moderate, one by one from low to high officers kept urging their subordinates to step forward to counterattack, the white armor with agile and powerful movements was the first to meet the enemy, and the spear and iron halberd long knife on the horse began to hit with the weapons of the white armor, The entire Jurchen array was instantly filled with Mongolian cavalry with arrows stuck in their bodies or arrows on their horses, this was the last armor warrior of the Zarut people, it was obvious that the most elite warriors of this tribe had rushed up, the knights and infantry fought each other, halberds and long knives were slapping, slashing, iron spears were stabbing each other, and in the array was Ang Antaiji, who shouted to kill the enemy, this was a Mongolian nobleman who saw the threat of the Jurchens, and he had never been unapologetic to the Jurchens and Nurhachi, this time Daishan and others led the troops, He is also the first Taiji to fight, this old Taiji with white eyebrows has passed the age of sixties, but he is wearing heavy armor and still rushes to the front line.
Due to being separated by heavy arrows and arrows and rejecting horses, the impact of the cavalry was consumed, thousands of cavalry and war horses were crowded together, the Mongol array was scattered, pushing each other, and soon the cavalry of the first layer was almost killed, the boots of the Jurchen armor soldiers stepped on blood, and stepped on the corpses of people and horses from the pool of blood, and then continued to line up in a neat array, and kept poking the spears and halberds at each other. There were also many Mongolian generals who ordered the knights to dismount and fight with the Jurchens, but the battle situation was unfavorable, the Mongols did not dare to dismount at all, they just slapped the weapons in their hands at each other in vain, and gradually became lethal, the whole front was full of horses and Mongol corpses, blood flowed all over the ground, gradually soaked in the grass, seeped into the land, and formed a huge pool of black blood.
Finally, the Jurchen cavalry on both wings began to charge forward, the huge sound of horses' hooves sounded like thunder, and the Mongols, who were already in a disadvantageous battle situation, began to flee, and the knights in the rear directly turned their horses' heads and fled, but those on the battle line were already sticky, and they resisted with difficulty, while looking at the defeated and fleeing partners behind them, and their mouths let out angry roars and screams.
The Jurchens continued to chase over the mountains of horse and human corpses, they were heavily armoured, but they were as agile as apes behind them, and the weapons in their hands were still killing and wounding people.
The pull of the bowstring and the slashing of the human body continued to sound, and after a short time, the last resistance of the Mongols was shattered like a bubble.
The knights of the brigade lost their horses, or jumped off their horses, and they raised their hands in the air, knelt down and asked to surrender.
Weapons and flags were thrown all over the ground, the ownerless horses were running everywhere, no one cared, and the faces went from frightened to excited, to panic and frightened, and finally to numb and expressionless.
Several of the Cotton Armor soldiers were still going to continue to slash, and they kept pointing their knives at the neck of the kneeling Mongols, and then slashed them off, and the heads rolled to the ground, and these Cotton Armor soldiers let out a roaring laugh.
Dai Shan rode forward at this time, he saw the two wings chasing the defeated Mongolian cavalry, this battle Zalut was almost disabled, the rest of the herdsmen were also frightened after returning, the five most daring to resist the Nekhalkha was defeated first, and the loss of the Jurchens was almost negligible, under the results of more than a thousand beheadings, the loss of the Jurchens would not exceed 100 people.
"Behead those guys!" Dai Shan saw the cotton armor soldiers who had killed the prisoners and immediately gave the order.
The white-armored guards beside him immediately pounced forward like tigers and wolves, captured the frenzied armored soldiers, held them down, and then dragged the braid at the back of his head, swung the knife, blood beads splashed, and immediately cut off the head.
On the bloody battlefield, people looked at this scene numbly, at this time their lives seemed to be someone else's, except for elite veterans, most of them still had the feeling of flying souls, and they didn't pay much attention to everything in front of them.
"Order, no prisoners shall be killed." Dai Shan paid no attention to the process of beheading, and directly continued to order.
The guards began to gallop and give orders to all parts of the battlefield.
Amin also sent his own escorts to give orders, and the two Belles gave the order together, and the whole battlefield soon fell silent, only the groans of the wounded and the sound of cavalry chasing in the distance kept coming.
"Treat minor injuries, kill serious injuries." Seeing that Daishan did not continue to give orders, Amin ordered to clean up the battlefield himself.
As for the weapons of war, apart from the intact and uninjured horses, the Jurchens did not expect to get any decent weapons of war on these Mongols.
The Beiyu are so poor, so poor that even the current Jurchens look down on them. Their armor was torn, their weapons were poor, they were useless except horses, and there were no soft things such as gold and silver, and the Jurchens had just finished the war, and their physical and physical exertion was also very great, so they lazily began to clean up the battlefield.
Amin sighed: "The Mongols are really useless except for horses and dingkou. ”
"Dingkou is a good thing." Dai Shan said quietly: "Mongolia lacks Dingkou on the left and right flanks, Khan Ama attaches so much importance to the Mongolian Taiji, just come to a small Taiji with a few hundred Ding, just go out of the suburbs to welcome, why, isn't it that we need their Dingkou to join the Eight Banners." ”
On the contrary, in the past two years, the Eight Banners have paid more and more attention to catching fish skin tartars and calling the Mongols to join the Eight Banners, at this time the Mongolian Dingkou of the Eight Banners is still insufficient, only the left and right wings are arranged, and after the Emperor Taiji crossed Lin Dan Khan during the Chongzhen period, he obtained a large number of Dingkou of Chahar and Tumut, and the Mongolian wings were expanded to four banners, and then they were organized into eight banners.
Dai Shan continued to move forward, not far ahead is the enemy cavalry on both wings, along the way there are many dead and dead horses, there are also shepherds and armor soldiers who have surrendered one after another, at this time there are Tang horses galloping, holding a bloody head in their hands, Tang Ma Yu reported: "Da Belle, this is the head of Ang Antaiji." ”
Dai Shan said: "Didn't he run away? ”
Tangma replied: "I heard that he refused to flee, and then he was carried back by his guards, but he was caught by both wings, because Ang Antaiji fought non-stop and was killed in the battle. ”
"Ahh Amin said on the side: "Father Khan knows to be sentimental. ”
Unlike killing and injuring hundreds of thousands of Han people, Nurhaci and Amin, Daishan and others regard the Mongols as a brother race of the same language and species, and they are indeed similar, a little study, the Mongols and the Jurchens can communicate in language, they are all the same language family, and the robes and hairstyles are also similar, the Jurchens only keep a small braid, and the Mongols keep many roots, they all grow up on horseback, ride a horse and shoot hunting, a nomadic and a fishing and hunting, the difference is not very big.
In the process of integrating Mongolia, Nurhachi spent a lot of energy to do this, in fact, the Mongols were also the unusually successful fusion of the Later Jin, and contributed a lot in the process of the rise of the Later Jin, and later the Qing Dynasty settled the Central Plains, and the Mongolian tribes were used by the Qing court like an arm, and they made a lot of effort in the war of exterminating the Oirat Department, eliminating Geldan and other dissident forces, striking at the three feudatories, and destroying the Lazang Khan.
For every Mongolian taiji, the attitude of the Jurchen side is to woo, even if it is a hostile Taiji who has come to fight. In the first two years of several wars between the Mongols and the Jins, all the captured Mongol Taiji were released, although Nurhachi also asked for a ransom, compared to the cruelty of the war between the Ming and the Jin, the Mongols and the Later Jin were much more polite.
Although Ang'an Taiji's attitude is rigid, but the more this is the case, the more Nurhaci admires him, after all, the old slave has been fighting for half his life, and he will not like soft bones, but he is more interested in hard guitars.
"The next battle is against fried flower Taiji." Dai Shan thought for a moment and said, "If the war goes well, don't kill him." ”
Amin said: "On the contrary, I think that a hero like Fried Flower Taiji dies on the battlefield is the best destination." ”
"Tell your father Khan this." Dai Shan gave him a blank look.
There was another group of cavalry in front of them, circling in a circle, as if they were surrounded by someone, and Dai Shan rode forward, and the cavalry hurriedly got out of the way.
A Mongolian man covered in bruises was wielding a knife in a daze, he was covered with scars, his blue-gray arrow robe was stained red with blood, the hat on his head had also fallen off, revealing the bare top of his head, his braided hair and beard seemed to be connected together, his face was also covered with blood, and his two bulls' eyes were round, but there was no spiritual light in his eyes, as if he was wielding a knife in his sleep.
