Qi Jiguang's 1,800 musketeers unfolded in formation, and opposite him were Altan Khan's 45,000 tired soldiers.
The 45,000 men of Altan Khan, after a fierce battle with the main force of the Flying Tiger Army, rushed back for reinforcements from a long distance, and were ambushed by the remnants of Warat, and they were already exhausted.
Altan Khan stared at the nearly two thousand fire-gunners opposite, his hands sweating.
He had seen the combat power of the Flying Tiger Army more than once.
Although the difference in strength was nearly twenty times, Altan Khan did not dare to give the order to attack.
While Altan Khan was hesitating, an army of cavalry appeared behind the Flying Tiger Army!
The Uliangha cavalry arrived at the battlefield!
Qi Jiguang found another Mongol cavalry behind him, and he didn't know whether it was friend or foe. He ordered half of the musketeers to turn around and form a defensive line.
A Uliangha cavalry galloped to Qi Jiguang's side: "General Mingguo, we are the cavalry of Uliangha Khan!" It is an ally of your Ming Kingdom! β
Qi Jiguang is not a three-year-old child: "What is the evidence?" β
The Wuliangha cavalry took out a letter: "This is a letter from Lord Lu Bing, the commander of your Ming Kingdom Jinyi Guard, the general will know it at a glance!" β
Qi Jiguang took the letter, and it was written that the Uliang Habe Khan Chikun had decided to join forces with the Flying Tiger Army to attack the Tatars. The letter was stamped with the seal of the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
Qi Jiguang put away the letter: "Please come and talk to me!" β
Chi Kun received the news and rode to Qi Jiguang on a horse: "Dare to ask who the general is?" β
Qi Jiguang arched his hand: "The commander of the first division of the Flying Tiger Army, Qi Jiguang!" β
Chi Kun said: "It turned out to be General Qi, who has admired the name for a long time!" My Wuliangha tribe has been friendly with the Ming Dynasty for generations, and this time I led 20,000 cavalry to help in the war! β
Qi Jiguang smiled: "Very good! Look, in front of me are Altan Khan's more than 40,000 cavalry! This should be the only remaining strength of the Tatar Ministry! β
Chi Kun was amazed: "There are always 80,000 cavalry in the Tatar headquarters, and the 40,000 cavalry in Warat is a total of 120,000 troops!" It's only been a few days, and there are only 40,000 people left? Dare to ask, is your Flying Tiger Army's expedition this time, as Lord Lu Bing said, only 10,000 people? β
Qi Jiguang nodded and said: "That's right, in this Northern Expedition, the Flying Tiger Army totaled more than 10,000. β
Although Chi Kun had heard of the combat power of the Flying Tiger Army before, he was still shocked! With more than 10,000 people, only more than 40,000 Tatar soldiers and horses of 120,000 soldiers and horses fought in less than half a month?
Chi Kun asked: "Dare to ask General Qi, where are you Chen Di Metropolitan Governor?" β
Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "If I guess correctly, Governor Chen is marching in the direction of Wolf Mountain with the main force!" In a few days, we will be able to form a front and rear attack! β
Chi Kun exclaimed: "I thought it was the main force of the Flying Tiger Army that attacked Wolf Mountain... I didn't expect that a Flying Tiger King and a partial division would be able to capture the Wolf Mountain in the Tatar Holy Land! β
Qi Jiguang pointed to the Tatar cavalry in front: "Now the Tatar cavalry is there." Does the Khan have any intention of making a contribution to this battle? β
Chi Kun immediately changed his face: "Oh, our Wuliang Habu is from the eastern grassland, we have traveled a long way, we need to rest, and it is not appropriate to immediately charge." β
Qi Jiguang sneered: "Then please take a rest with the sweat!" Look at the wrists of our Flying Tigers. β
On the Tatar side, Altan Khan decided to use 5,000 cavalry to test the reality of the Flying Tiger Army ahead.
Altan Khan gave an order, and the five thousand cavalry began to charge towards Qi Jiguang's Flying Tiger Army.
At this time, the wind and the sun were beautiful, there was no white-haired wind, and the Flying Tiger Army's firearms and grenades could be fired normally. The 5,000 cavalry faced a line of 1,800 firecrackers with tigers, leeches, arrows, and grenades, almost hitting stones with eggs!
In less than half an hour, there were only more than 1,000 cavalry left in the 5,000 cavalry that charged!
Altan sweat sweating like a note! Wolf Mountain is a holy place for Tatars, and it is a shame to be ashamed of the ancestors not to attack and sit back and watch the enemy fall to Wolf Mountain. The offense is again to the death.
In desperation, Altan Khan gave an almost absurd order: the whole army should camp on the spot!
Now he could only pray that the Immortal Heaven could rain another white-haired wind for him, and if the firearms of the one or two thousand Flying Tiger Army in front of him failed, his cavalry might be able to fight.
Qi Jiguang's side is as stable as Mount Tai. He adhered to the principle that the enemy would not move and I would not move, and he also ordered his soldiers to camp on the spot.
A day later, Altan Khan didn't wait for the white-haired wind to descend from the Immortal Sky, but waited for Chen Di's main force of the Flying Tiger Army!
Chen Di's five or six thousand musketeers, three thousand cavalry, Qi Jiguang's nearly two thousand musketeers, and Chikun's twenty thousand Uliangha cavalry formed a flanking attack on Altan Khan.
Chen Di ordered Yu Dayou: "Order the artillery battalion, all the furlong machine artillery deployed!" β
Dozens of Furlong guns were lined up, all loaded with iron-clad shells.
In front of the artillery, five or six thousand musketeers held tiger guns in their hands to form a defensive line.
Chen Di planned to use dozens of Fran machine guns as an iron fist to smash the Tatar cavalry.
Dozens of Furlong guns began to pour flames. Round after round, the iron-clad flowering bullets were thrown into the cavalry of Altan Khan. The Tatar cavalry was bombed and howled wolf.
Altan Khan finally understood what despair was!
In the face of the front and rear attacks of the Flying Tiger Army, the charge was to send him to death. Sitting still, he was greeted by an iron-shelled flowering bullet.
Altan Khan gritted his teeth, Ming Guo has a saying, called to stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood!
Surrender!
Altan Khan sent someone to Chen Di's side: "Governor, our Great Khan asks to surrender!" β
Chen Di smiled: "Surrender? All right. You go back and tell him that he and I will meet between the two armies. β
Two hours later, a yurt was erected between the two armies.
Chen Di and Altan Khan arrived as promised. The two sides sat down.
Altan Khan glanced at Chen Di: "Governor, don't come unharmed!" β
Chen Di smiled: "I am fine, but the Great Khan is fine." β
Altan Khan glanced at Chen Di: "Governor, we are all people who understand. It's better to talk less! Your Flying Tiger Army has excellent combat power, I am convinced! All I want is surrender and save the lives of my 40,000 warriors. β
Chen Di picked up the hall: "Surrender? Then you have to talk about the conditions first! When you were heading straight at the capital, you had the advantage, so naturally you had the conditionsγγγγγ Nowγγγγγ β
Altan Khan waved his hand: "You Han people have a saying, good men don't mention the courage of the year." In this way, as long as the Metropolitan Governor takes your Flying Tiger Army back to Datongwei, I, the Tatar Department, am willing to pay tribute to Ming! Every year, the Tatars will pay a tribute of 1 million taels of silver and 10,000 fine war horses to the Ming Dynasty! β
Altan Khan looked at Chen Di after speaking.
Chen Di also looked at Altan Khan: "It's over?" β
Altan Khan replied, "It's over... β
Chen Di smiled: "This is also called a condition? Forget it, let's go back to the army and do the final decisive battle! β
After speaking, Chen Di got up.
Altan Khan was in a hurry, and actually grabbed Chen Di's sleeve: "Governor, tell me what conditions you have?" β
