It was only a little bit like it crushed the Ming army's array, and it was only a little bit close to capturing the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but this difference seemed to be the whole heaven.

Because this is completely two completely different results for Dayan Khan, one is to capture the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty alive, you can get huge benefits, huge prestige, and his fame will be spread forever on the grassland.

The other was defeated and returned, leading 40,000 cavalry to be defeated by the Ming army in a field battle, and the prestige he had built up with great difficulty would be shaken, which would be a shame that would be difficult for him to wash away for the rest of his life.

So the word withdrawal is really difficult to export, Dayan Khan felt a burst of tightness in his chest, this is the result he never expected, he is really unwilling!

But what can be done if you are unwilling? Seeing that the morale of the army was already very low, but the morale of the Ming army was becoming more and more vigorous, if the troops were not withdrawn, it would only be a matter of time before they dispersed.

Dayan Khan finally gritted his teeth and spit out two words with difficulty: "Withdraw the troops!" ”

The guards next to him had been waiting for Dayan Khan to make a decision, and in the current situation, anyone could see that they were powerless, and if they continued to consume, they would only increase casualties, and finally they were beaten and scattered.

The guards next to him immediately blew the horn, and Dayan Khan cherished his life and returned with his guards on horseback. The entire battlefield of Tatar cavalry was scattered in an instant, and fled backwards like headless flies.

The musketeers, who were still fighting, suddenly relaxed, and Wang Chong led the cavalry in hot pursuit, chasing and killing the backward Tatar cavalry.

Once the Tatar cavalry was dispersed, it was difficult to gather, and they fled towards the depths of the steppe in a swarm, and Wang Chong and Tian Shiyuan joined forces to chase after each other.

Zhang Zhijie breathed a sigh of relief while holding the bloody flintlock pistol, and then came back to his senses and looked around, this battle was really tragic!

Not only the Tatar cavalry suffered heavy casualties, but also his musketeers, and it was initially estimated that 10% of them were killed or wounded! The musketeers still suffered a loss in the face of the cavalry with bayonets on the front, and it was not long from the cavalry charge to the front of the battle to the Tatar cavalry rout, but the musketeers suffered very heavy losses.

But the army formation of the musketeers did not collapse from beginning to end, which made Zhang Zhijie a little proud, but his heart was more heavy, because the losses of the musketeers in this battle were too heavy.

Zhang Zhijie really didn't know what he felt in his heart, this was a big victory, and he hit the Tatar cavalry hard, so it stands to reason that he should be happy. But there were also musketeers he had trained all over the place, which made his mood a little heavy.

The gate of Xuanfu opened again, and when the Tatar cavalry fled, Jiang Huaixin had already jumped up happily, this was a big victory!

Jiang Huaixin led the pro-soldiers in the city to pour out, and rode straight to the military formation with his cronies, and when he arrived at the military formation, Jiang Huaixin saw the governor at a glance, but the governor was covered with blood everywhere.

Jiang Huaixin was so frightened that he almost urinated, and before he could get to him, he was so frightened that he rolled off his horse and said in horror: "Your Excellency the Governor, you, are you okay?" At this moment, Jiang Huaixin broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhang Zhijie shook his head and said, "This governor is fine!" Bai Magnolia next to him said in a deep voice: "Lord Admiral personally went into battle with a gun and slashed two Tartars!" ”

Jiang Huaixin couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded when he heard this, and a chill arose in his heart, at this time, he understood how difficult the big battle just now was, and even the Governor himself went into battle!

Zhang Zhijie didn't say much, but said in a deep voice: "You quickly lead people to treat the wounded soldiers and clean up the battlefield!" ”

Jiang Huaixin responded respectfully, and a deep admiration arose in his heart. The young Governor completely overturned his mind and made him admire.

Zhang Zhijie led the musketeers back to the city to rest, Jiang Huaixin took people to clean up the battlefield, and Wang Chong had already returned with the cavalry.

The hall was full of generals, and the atmosphere was still very warm, because this was a big victory, a rare victory in a century.

More than 14,000 cavalry were killed, more than 1,000 cavalry were captured, and more than 8,000 musketeers were lost. The generals praised the Governor's merits, but Zhang Zhijie was only faint and did not have any self-esteem.

This battle took place under the city, in the face of the mighty 40,000 steppe cavalry, the field battle defeated the Tatars, beheaded 14,000, such a great victory in a hundred years! This battle completely stabilized Zhang Zhijie's prestige in the border town and prestige in the army.

"Report the good news and the head to the imperial court, and hurry up about the compensation of the wounded and wounded soldiers, this governor does not want to see any deductions! Also, the musketeers are badly damaged and select elite soldiers to replenish! Zhang Zhijie gave the same order, and Governor Jiang Huaixin respectfully agreed.

After two battles and two victories in succession, the cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei was seriously damaged, and neither Duoyan Sanwei nor Tatar dared to make a mistake easily! They used to have a hard time surviving the winter, but now they are under much less pressure because their people are seriously injured and supplies are less strained. This can be regarded as a good thing he has done for the grassland, Zhang Zhijie thought maliciously.

Dayan Khan fled all the way to the depths of the grassland with the defeated army, he was in a very bad mood, he originally wanted to capture the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not expect to be defeated in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and he led 40,000 iron cavalry to defeat in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

When Manduhai was still alive, they were always invincible, and now Manduhai is gone, and he led 40,000 iron horsemen to defeat the Ming Dynasty in the field, which makes the people on the grassland think of him?

Originally, he unified the Mongol tribes with the assistance of Manduhai and became a veritable Great Khan on the steppe, but after such a fiasco, can his rule still be stable?

Along the way, he already felt that the leaders of the various departments were no longer as respectful to him as before! The grassland that had just been condensed seemed to be about to turn into a plate of scattered sand again, and at this time he regretted that he had sent troops in the first place.

At the beginning, he was already a veritable Great Khan, but he didn't expect to suffer a crisis because of this fame. No, he must not be allowed to end his foundation, and he must not be allowed to have different hearts among the ministries!

What to do? Dayan Khan fled while thinking bitterly in his heart, at this time he was very nostalgic for Mandu Hailai, although he was a little tired of her when Mandu Hai was old, but now what he missed was her resourcefulness.

If she was still there, he wouldn't be in this kind of crisis, and even if he did, there must be a way to solve it, right?

Dayan Khan was stunned in his heart for a while, and then suddenly woke up, wasn't he just trying to get rid of the influence of Mandu Hai? He must find a way to maintain the majesty of his Great Khan on his own!
