Chapter 785: Stalking
The Black Tiger was the happiest, because they had captured more than 20,000 war horses, and in the eyes of the Black Tiger, the precious metals captured in this battle were no less than 500,000 taels of silver, far less than these fat and strong war horses.
Due to the urgency of the escape of the Qing army that broke through, too many spare war horses carrying food and supplies were intercepted, and the Jiannu who escaped should no longer be one person and two horses.
The frightened Qing army had just run out for seventy or eighty miles, and the shouting of killing began again, it was Zu Kuan, Li Dingguo, and Cao Bianjiao with more than 10,000 Mongolian light cavalry following and killing.
In fact, Jiannu still had 35,000 men and horses at this time, and if he turned back to the first battle, he only faced 15,000 Tartars and more than 3,000 "God of War" cavalry, and the ratio of the strength of the Qing army and the Northern Expedition coalition army was 2 to 1, and it would not be a problem to win a battle with the combat effectiveness of the Qing army.
After all, the Tartars and Jiannu duels have been defeated and lost over the years, and there is a shadow in the psychology, if the Jiannu cavalry with double strength turns back and rushes into battle, it is estimated that the Tartars will immediately give full play to their equestrian expertise, leaving behind the "God of War" cavalry and fleeing.
More than 3,000 "God of War" cavalry will face ten times the Jiannu cavalry of their own, and they will fight with the enemy in the endless steppe.
However, an army with no culture and no ideals can only fight a good fight, and the fleeing Qing army does not analyze how many pursuers are coming behind, they just try their best to escape.
Zu Kuan, who followed and covered up, picked up a big bargain, and the tired Jiannu horsepower was affected, and the escape speed could not catch up with the speed of the Tartar pursuers, and they were soon entangled in a part, and then the "God of War" cavalry came up, and too many Jiannu who had fallen behind were drowned in the red flow.
The partial division led by Zu Kuan, Li Dingguo, and Cao Bianjiao also achieved results no less than those of the main force of the Black Tiger, and they were captured and captured.
The Jiannu people who fled next were inexplicably sad and indignant, because the men and horses who attacked them again were even more ruthless, that was the 3,000 men and horses of the Zhenglan Banner led by Derge, Bazhahai, and Bazha Ga, more than 2,000 Jurchen horses under the temporary command of the black horse, 8,000 horsemen from Karaqin Tartars, and 3,000 cavalry of the "God of War".
The same room is especially cruel, Derge, Bazhahai and others are not just to show in front of the "God of War", they do hate the red gangsters, and they also hate Hauge and the children of the two yellow flags.
After the Blue Banner got a part of the winding steel armor equipment, the protection power skyrocketed, and their combat skills and the other Seven Banners were in between, and at this time, the equipment and morale were high, and the defeat of the fleeing Seven Banners was definitely a top two.
The Jurchen Sauron people don't know how to rely on it anyway, but now they have armor and sharp weapons, and their combat effectiveness is extraordinary, they eat well every day, sleep well, live a simple and happy life, and come out to kill people and cut off their heads in exchange for rewards, and they are never tired of it.
These barbarians howled like wolves, and after catching up with Jiannu, they chopped and chopped indiscriminately, and the raging blood stained the battle armor red, and the blood-stained Sauron people looked like ghosts, and even the Karaqin Tartars felt palpitations when they looked at them.
This interception is completely different from the previous two, there are Zhenglan Banner and Sauron people who are chasing after each other, Bazha Hai and Bazha Ka who are gritting their teeth are bent on avenging their father, and Derge is also enthusiastic when he remembers the tragic experience of staying in the "Xinjing" family.
The survivors of the Zhenglan Banner, whose hatred had filled their chests, burned the flame of revenge on the Seven Banners, and they were the same as the traitor army that surrendered to the Manchus and attacked the Ming Dynasty in history, and was even more cruel and vicious.
Historically, the blood debts of the 81st Jiangyin, the 10th of Yangzhou, and the three massacres of Jiading were all recorded to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In fact, the number of traitor armies involved in the massacre was not only three times that of Jiannu.
Today, history has turned around, and it is the turn of the Manchu Eight Banners to fight in the same room, and all the "God of War" soldiers are happy to see it, and they are all trying their best to create an opportunity for the Zhenglan Banner to slaughter the other Seven Banners.
The stupid Jurchen Sauron people don't have any fancy intestines, they only know that when the enemy runs, they should chase and kill with all their might, preserve their strength and reduce losses, they don't think about it, and they won't think about it for a while.
Jiannu really couldn't imagine that the raw Jurchens they had been trying to catch to enrich the source of soldiers were now like tigers descending from the mountains, and their personal skills were all over the Qing Dynasty horses and infantry armor, and they were not ambiguous about the Qing army.
These Shengjurchen also admit to death, not only are they stubborn and difficult to fight like maggots on tarsal bones, but they can't communicate if they want to surrender, because most of them don't understand human language very well.
Hauge's team is like a lost dog, constantly running away and constantly attrition, and the Jiannu generals want to cry without tears.
It is obvious that the direction of Jiannu's escape is the Karaqin steppe, fighting on their own home turf, and the Karaqin Tartars, who surrendered to the "God of War", did not dare to slack off, and everyone cheered up and chased after him.
Jiannu was bitten and kept being intercepted, and these people were unlucky, because the Saurons didn't know how to catch them alive, they only knew that a money rat's tail head could be exchanged for ten stone polished rice.
The Blue Banner came for revenge, of course, with the purpose of killing, and they deliberately did not want to take prisoners. When the Karaqin people saw that the former master had turned into a rat crossing the street, of course, they participated in beating the water dogs with high emotions.
They are extremely cruel and do not leave a living mouth at all, in fact, the Karaqin people are also thinking about their own future.
The mountains do not turn around, this time if they do not kill as many Jiannu as possible, in case the Jiannu are relieved in a few years, they dare not retaliate against the "God of War", they can completely find the bad luck of the Karaqin people, in order to never suffer in the future, the Karaqin people are murderous.
The "God of War" supervision team came with more than 3,000 horsemen, the main general Hei Ma, the deputy generals Hei Xiong, Ai Nengqi, and Liu Wenxiu deliberately did not move forward, so that Zhenglanqi, Suolon and Karaqin people killed a large number of Jiannu, so as not to surrender too many Jiannu to be difficult to settle.
The Northern Expedition is like participating in a relay race, chasing soldiers one after another, like a surging river is endless, and the people and horses of Jiannu are limited, losing thousands today and hundreds less tomorrow, how can it be born like this?
After more than 30 days of pursuit, the Jiannu men and horses became fewer and fewer, and they ran farther and farther. Their supplies and spare horses have been depleted, and now they are facing an existential crisis.
Hauge, Zilharang, and others all believed that the farther they went, the safer it was, and that they had to go all the way north without provisions, fishing and hunting on the way to give full play to their potential to survive in the wild, and as long as they found Mongol tribes, they would rob and improve their food.
Of course, the desperate Jiannu are extremely vicious, they don't even pay attention to the laws of the grassland, they basically slaughter the small tribes, they can't take the women away, and all of them are directly killed after venting their beastly desires.
The Karaqin Tartars, who were following the pursuit, gritted their teeth one by one when they saw the tragic scene of the women in the clan being ravaged and killed, and they had the urge to cut off the tail of the money rat when they saw it, and on several occasions they almost drew their swords against the Zhenglan Banner who had surrendered.
Fortunately, Ai Nengqi and Liu Wenxiu were alert and decisively dispatched the cavalry of their headquarters to cut off the two tense men.
