Chapter 1225 - No Way
The defeat was like a mountain, and it was impossible for the already defeated cavalry to be reorganized, so Zizik had no choice but to flee with the rout.
Moreover, Zizik was still apprehensive about the musket salvo just now, and even if he reorganized the cavalry to fight at this time, it was still impossible to rush to Zhang Zhijie's musket array.
No, not to mention Zhang Zhijie's musket formation, now even Zhang Zhijie's cavalry cannot be defeated, because his cavalry has become demoralized.
Qizik cursed while running wildly, Hua Dang was a dog, and he kindly took him in, but when he charged, he didn't see Hua Dang's figure! I don't know if Hua Dang died in the chaos or if he had already escaped first.
However, this is not the time to worry after all, because Zhang Zhijie's cavalry has already begun to chase and kill. Zizik could only flee with blood in his heart, and the cavalry was like a headless fly, unable to stop effective resistance.
So I don't know how many of the cavalry who fled behind would be killed by Zhang Zhijie's cavalry, how could this not make Qi Qiqi feel distressed. Originally, I thought that the two thousand elite riders who were greedy for flowers, but now the two thousand elite riders have not yet arrived, but they have made a lot of money.
The cavalry behind them broke and fled twenty miles all the way before they stopped pursuing, but Zizik still did not dare to stop, and fled for ten miles in one breath before stopping.
Gathering the rout, Zizik has a feeling of sadness coming from it, the losses in this battle are great! After grieving for a while, Zizik suddenly woke up, what about Huadang?
Where is Huadang? The flowers are not good! Finally knowing the news of Huadang, Qizike had an urge to vomit blood, good you Huadang sneaked away, it's really not a good man!
If you ask who the person Qizik hates the most, there is no doubt that Huadang, if Huadang appears again at this time, he can't wait to chop Huadang into mashed meat! However, even if Huadang is here, he is reluctant, because he wants to use Huadang as a father and son to ward off disasters.
If he can't defeat Zhang Zhijie's army, then he can only sacrifice Hua as a father and son to pray for Zhang Zhijie's forgiveness! However, Huadang was gone, which made Zizik resentful and a little panicked.
With a gloomy face, Zizik returned to his tribe with the army, pondering what to do to survive the crisis.
After Horqin's cavalry dispersed, Zhang Zhijie immediately led the musketeers to disperse, mounted his horse and continued in the direction of Horqin.
It didn't take long for him to encounter the cavalry that pursued and returned, and after the combined army, the army continued to advance, although the speed of advance was not as fast as Horqin's cavalry, but Zhang Zhijie was not in a hurry.
Because the monk can't run away from the temple, although Horqin is a nomad, it is not so easy to escape, after all, there are cattle, sheep, goods, women and children, and the huge tribe can go.
Besides, even if they walked, they couldn't go fast, unless they left behind their cattle and sheep and goods, in which case how would their tribe survive the bitter winter? Everything has to start anew, and most of the population of their tribe will freeze to death and starve to death!
Therefore, Zhang Zhijie calmly led the army to Horqin, but Qizik led the army back to Horqin one step earlier. When Horqin's cavalry returned to the tribe in despair, the entire Korqin people were shocked.
Horqin has always been a big clan on the grassland, although they live in a corner, but the grassland they occupy is very good, and the tribe is prosperous, so the people of Horqin are very proud. But they never expected that their Korqin cavalry would be defeated.
After returning to the tribe, Zizik immediately gathered all the clan elders, commanders, and others and told all the stories about the defeat.
Everyone was silent for a while, they didn't expect the army of the Ming Dynasty to be so powerful, and it was about to attack. Tsitchik's face was the most ugly, because when he took in Huadang, many people objected, but Tsitchikli kept Huadang despite the public opinion.
Qi Qike said in a deep voice: "At the beginning, I chose to stay with Hua Dang because I took a fancy to the two thousand elite horsemen in his hand, I thought that Zhang Zhijie would not go on an expedition, but I didn't expect Zhang Zhijie to really lead the army, and the army in Zhang Zhijie's hands was so powerful!" Stealing chickens doesn't make it easy, it's all my fault! ”
This is not just as simple as stealing chickens and rice, it is related to the life and death of the tribe. A trembling clan elder asked, "Taiji, is the imperial court's army really so powerful?" ”
Hearing this, Zyzik smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just amazing! Dayan Khan's two defeats are not unjust at all, although the sons of our tribe are brave, but the opponent's firearms are really sharp, we can't beat it! ”
Everyone was silent again, and another clan elder said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then we will unite Dayan Khan and other tribes of the steppe to send troops together, and they should also understand the truth of cold lips and teeth!" ”
Before Qizik could speak, another clan elder shook his head and said: "At the beginning, Dayan Khan's 40,000 iron cavalry were defeated in Xuanfu, but now that Dayan Khan's prestige has been greatly reduced, how many soldiers and horses can he gather?" Even if you add our cavalry, I don't know if there can be 40,000 cavalry! ”
"How easy is it to unite all the tribes of the steppe to send troops together? Dayan Khan's prestige has been greatly reduced, and he has been defeated repeatedly, and now no one has such great appeal! ”
The clan elder trembled and sighed: "I really miss Mandu Haihatun!" ”
Qizik sighed: "Zhang Zhijie's army is not far from here. ”
Everyone's faces changed, and the clan elder was silent for a moment, and then he said a little confused: "Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu, Zhu Di。。。。。。 Haven't we been thriving in the steppes in Mongolia? ”
"Can't beat it? If you can't beat it, surrender! Doesn't the Han people have a saying, the big husband should be able to bend and stretch! Do you want to bury the entire tribe like Huadang? ”
Everyone is also silent, if they can't fight, they will run, and if they can't run, they will surrender, this is nothing wrong at all, and since Tainingwei, Fuyuwei, and Yibula have all surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, then they have nothing to do with the surrender of the Horqin tribe.
Zizik actually thinks so in his heart, anyway, this is the way to go. The reason why Qi Qike hesitated was because Hua Dang had already sneaked away with his troops, Qi Qi Qi Ke gritted his teeth and said: "Hua Dang, this dog not only did not lead the troops to charge, but also sneaked away when the soldiers were defeated, without Hua Dang, even if we want to surrender, it is not easy to explain!" ”
Everyone shouted and scolded after hearing this, Zhang Zhijie led the army to attack Horqin in order to capture and kill Huadang, and now they can't call Huadang to go, maybe Zhang Zhijie thought that they hid Huadang or deliberately let Huadang go.
