For troops without formal training, the defeat of the main force represents a total collapse. The level of the army's capability actually comes from the level of organization, and the officers who are familiar with and trust themselves and the soldiers around them are familiar with and trust each and every soldier around them, so that they can disperse but not be chaotic and chaotic but not collapsed, and maintain the organization of the army in highly complicated battles.

After the combined forces of the Horqin and Harashen divisions were easily defeated, it was equivalent to the complete collapse of the coalition forces on the grassland, and after the ironclad cavalry with good armor defense rushed in, these personal guards cavalry of the coalition army encountered an embarrassing fact that their weapons could not cause effective damage to the other side, and the dense formation brought by the strict training of the opponent also gave them a great numerical advantage in every part, and at the same time formed a huge impulse in turn, which was unstoppable.

But because of the continuous accumulation of their own formations, these ironclad cavalry who suddenly appeared in the Tumut Department got the opportunity to keep pressing forward, riding a horse is different from walking, walking with both legs together and turning around can run back, if you want to pull the horse and turn around, you will rush your own people into a mess, and you can't retreat and retreat, you can only be passively killed by the other party.

Whether it is facing the stabbing of a spear or the chopping of the opponent's long knife and axe, chain mail and cotton armor cannot form a very effective defense, and they will die or lose their combat effectiveness if they are almost hit.

This was certainly not the cavalry of the Tumut Division, the cavalry in iron armor was lined up in an array, and the edge that seemed to be a wall was the light cavalry in light armor.

The crux of the matter is that for the combined forces of Korqin and Harasin, these neat and uniform light armored cavalry suddenly appeared in Tumut, and their armor and weapons were not much worse than theirs, and as for those troops that were tough with the ironclad cavalry, their equipment was not an opponent at all. These tall warriors in steel armor rode on selected tall horses, with grim faces. It's as unstoppable as killing gods.

If the army is pressed by the opponent's army, if the formation is too crowded, the part in the middle is often unable to move, and it cannot be beaten and beaten, and it can not run and run, and it can only be passively slaughtered.

In both the East and the West, it is said that an army of free people is a hundred times more powerful than an army of slaves, because they have their own will to fight.

In some cases, this is not the case. For example, now, under the pressure of layers of the Tumut tribe's herdsmen's cavalry, they can only be killed if they want to retreat, but there is still a glimmer of life if they want to rush, and the strong and powerful soldiers of those Han people have completely provoked these Tumut cavalry.

And when they rushed to the front, they were faced with the combined forces of the hostile Harashen and Korqin tribes, rushing to the front, if they did not fight hard. Then the other party will fight hard to kill you, and all kinds of situations will force these herdsmen and cavalry of the Tumut Department to fight, and they can only fight.

The war on the grassland, since it is strong, and the purpose of the war is to get more pasture, population and livestock, and the enemy in front of you, their manpower, and horses may become your own things tonight, so everyone dare not start. He is also reluctant to be ruthless, so the scale of the battle on the grassland may not be small now. The intensity tends to be low.

Fighting between the ministry. Often somewhere in abundance of water and grass. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were gathered. When the earth is shaken. Smoke and dust rise from the grassland. It's magnificent. But when it comes to the place of engagement. Everyone on the steppe with their wings wide open. Test each other. Draw bows and shoot arrows at each other. It also looks very lively. But most of them separate as soon as they come into contact. Have the courage to rush forward. The other side is about to collapse. And then the battle was decided.

So it is trained relatively systematically. And the Horqin cavalry, which had gained war experience with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was the best in the steppe. The Horqin tribe also became the most powerful power in the steppes of Eastern Mongolia.

However, the strongest cavalry in the Horqin Division is the part of the Chinese army. They are all sons and slaves of the Beile family of the various tribes of Horqin. That's just a few thousand people. Moreover, their training and courage are obviously not as good as those veterans of a hundred battles in Chen Yongfu, and the Jiaozhou battalion trained to ride in the subway. This time, most of the cavalry came to the steppe, and most of the cavalry were herdsman cavalry. They've seen it there

Originally, it was also a herdsman's land, and the Tumut herdsmen's cavalry rushed forward as if they were frantically. The allied herdsmen and cavalry were already feeling the chills. The two wings of the coalition army were swift and the herdsmen's cavalry had little discipline. When the positions were lined up on the grassland, they were also crowded in a mess.

In a hurry, even if you want to spread out, you can't. In the helplessness of the front team, they could only resist with a knife. It was quickly routed by the cavalry of the Tumut herdsmen who rushed in the army. The front team and the back team are mixed. It's completely turned into a state of porridge. But this pot of porridge. But only the soldiers of the coalition army were cut down.

In the rear, there were already a large number of herdsmen, and the cavalry fled without hesitation. And the Chinese army is on the side. It is hindered by the wings and the rear team. It can only be a hard fight with the ironclad cavalry.

Such a hard shock was close to slaughter, the two sides rode horses and attacked each other, and the Khan Tent cavalry of Horqin could not take advantage of it at all, and could only be killed and beaten.

The two Taiji who led the army, one was pierced by a spear during the first charge, and fell off his horse, and the other Taiji, under the escort of his own soldiers, desperately drilled backwards, and did not even dare to look back, completely frightened by his courage, purely talking about equestrianism and combat skills, these peoples who grew up on the grassland are much stronger than the Han cavalry, and can be equipped with sophisticated and systematic training, and the Mongolian cavalry is too far worse than the Han cavalry

Especially the cavalry of the Jiaozhou battalion, they are not very good riders, marksmanship and swordsmanship are just average, these aspects can not be compared with the opponent who began to learn to ride from the teeth, any cavalry may not be able to defeat the Mongolian elite cavalry in front of him in a one-on-one battle, but in the formation of formation, each other paired with five people in the battle, the Mongols will not make any cheap, with the increase in the number of soldiers, the advantage of the Shandong cavalry will be greater, the current situation, Korqin's cavalry had no chance of victory.

The reason why these cavalry of the steppe coalition army are still fighting is because they can't run at all.......

The so-called chopping melons and vegetables is like this, and I saw the armored cavalry unit that suddenly appeared in the Tumut Division, advancing and assaulting without hindrance, and constantly slashing and slashing in the face of invincibility.

The rout of the cavalry was, in some ways, much faster than the rout of the infantry. Especially when everyone saw the banner of Tushetu Khan suddenly galloping backwards, everyone must be sure that the battle had been lost.

The banner cannot be moved lightly, this is the center of the whole army, the banner moves back, which is equivalent to the commander fleeing from the battle, and the banner of Tushetu Khan gallops backwards, everyone understands that the center of the steppe coalition army, the khans of Kharashen and the Korqin Department, have all run away.

No one knew that defeat in this battle was an inevitable end. Perhaps the two pampered nobles were already frightened by such a tragic battle situation and massacre, so they hurriedly fled, seeing that the nobles of the tribe were all fleeing, how could these herdsmen cavalry below continue to insist.

In a moment's time, the Chinese troops of Korqin and Tumut suddenly appeared on their own and the surroundings became much more empty, and the grassland was full of fleeing friendly troops in all directions. In front of him was a fierce god and a light cavalry surrounded by two wings crossed over and pursued the fleeing nobles straight forward.

There is space around, and these so-called elites of the Horqin Department are not warriors who dare to fight. They are the most valuable property of each Beltaiji, and their status is guaranteed on the grassland, if it is good to win, but in the current situation, everyone thinks about how to keep their own strength is like this, so like birds and beasts, everyone picks up their horses and escapes, not daring to insist.

Just now, it seemed that the combined forces of Harashen and Horqin, which were extremely powerful and covered the entire grassland, had quickly collapsed into a mass of scattered sand, and they could not form an army. Everybody was running away, every team was running in all directions. The only force that is still condensed into a scale is the Tumut cavalry, whether it is the herdsman cavalry, or the ironclad cavalry in the middle, or the light armored cavalry that has been chased out, they are all scattered.

The current Tumut tribe is like a monster, constantly moving forward. Constantly devouring any small team in front of him.

Under such oppression, many of the coalition cavalry who fled were already frightened. Even lost the courage to run away and got off the horse. The five-body threw himself on the ground and surrendered to the other party.

It's almost half an hour away. On the cart that served as the command platform, as far as the eye could see, there was no enemy cavalry to be seen except for the cavalry who surrendered on their knees. In addition to the cavalry, there were only Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Datong Border Town, and Arslen, the judge of the Tumut Department.

Looking at the surrounding battle situation, Arslen completely did not have the usual wise and calm appearance, but grew his mouth, and he couldn't see any demeanor at all, before this battle, Arslen thought a lot, and did a lot of things secretly from the Han generals.

After all, the cavalry of the Harashen and Horqin tribes had an advantage, and the remnants of the Tumut tribe were defeated, even if they added the elites brought by the Han people, they were far inferior to the cavalry of the steppe coalition army.

Arslen thought about how he would deal with himself if the cavalry of the coalition army was defeated, what he should do to keep his wealth and nobility, and if he won a small victory or did not distinguish between victory and defeat, how should he advise these crazy Ming generals, how to stop taking such risks and grasp the wealth in front of him.

A small victory or a close victory is the most optimistic scenario that Arslen envisioned, after all, the sneak attack of the day was also successful in one fell swoop by taking advantage of the emptiness of the golden tent.

But he never imagined that today's victory would be so straightforward and hearty, and the cavalry with a small number showed an almost absolute advantage.

Suddenly, the judge was a little excited to think that this big victory, the pattern on the steppe of Eastern Mongolia had almost been decided, after all, against the more than 20,000 cavalry of the Tumut Division, the Harashen Department and the Horqin Department also had to mobilize nearly ninety percent of the soldiers and horses to have a chance of victory. As the most honorable person on the grassland, will his family become the second golden family, if so, even if he is a puppet, he is willing, and now he is not a puppet

Since the beginning of the battle, Chen Yongfu, the chief soldier of Datong Border Town, has been observing the battle situation with a clairvoyant mirror, and seeing that the overall situation has been decided, he raised his voice and said to the herald soldiers waiting for his life:

"All the reserves will attack to assist General Yang in pursuing the thief chieftain, crushing all the enemy troops gathered on the road, so as to behead the khans and nobles of the Kharashen and Korqin tribes."

After the herald over there agreed, he stepped down to arrange. After a while, the people and horses around the cart were noisy, and a large number of cavalry rushed towards the direction of pursuit.

"General Chen, the thieves over there have sent a large army to go, we have to send forces back to help the emergency!"

Before the war, there were nearly 10,000 cavalry brigades going to the headquarters of the Tumut Department in Xiaoxingzhou, and Arslen did not believe in the combat effectiveness of his troops. Chen Yongfu put down the clairvoyant mirror, looked at the somewhat anxious Arslene, and said with a smile:

"With those more than 10,000 miscellaneous pieces, do you think you can break through Mr. Ou's iron wall, Daru Huachi (called by Mongolian nobles), put your heart back, those enemies who go to Xiaoxingzhou will end up even worse!"

The coalition soldiers who were sent there were indeed not strong troops. Moreover, it is also the more noble subordinates of the Halasin and Horqin tribes, because they will encounter less resistance and more benefits from the enemy's back roads.

When this detachment was halfway down, everyone was in high spirits, and the Tumut tribe was one of the richest tribes on the steppe because of trade and trade, and there must have been a lot of good things on their side of the army, and there would also be a lot of women and livestock. These things are all benefits that everyone can get.

Thirty miles or so is not far away. Even if you control the horse, you can reach it in half an hour, but when you arrive, the camp at this time is very different from the past, and the tent area where more than 20,000 people gather. Not to mention the close distance between the tents and the tents, there is a half-man-high earthen wall around the perimeter.

There is also a shallow ditch on the outside of the earthen wall. Although the ditch is shallow, it is quite wide. This obstacle is very troublesome for horses.

Because on the inside of the ditch is the earthen wall, this height is not high. However, the horses could not leap over, and they had to dismount to climb, because of the wide ditches and earthen walls, it was impossible for the cavalry to form a continuous wave of attacks, which had a great impact.

But the inside are all old and weak, how to rush is also taken down, the generals sent soldiers around this earthen wall to walk around, now the only suitable place for the attack is the southwest of this direction, Xiaoxingbao was originally a town, but it has been abandoned for a long time, the Tumut camp is built on the basis of this ruin, several other parties have chosen the direction of attack, everyone can even hear the cry inside the Tumut camp, vaguely can see the figure running around in the earthen wall, each is proud, thinking that the hand is captured.

You are fighting for me, this partial division of the grassland coalition army swarmed in front of it, and many people had already dismounted and jumped into the ditch on the outside of the ditch.

The news on the steppe spread unquickly, and many people did not know that the Tumut Department gathered cavalry to rob the opponent's salt team that day, but was attacked by the other party in a large convoy.

Therefore, when the first soldier of the Prairie Coalition Army touched the earthen wall, the firecrackers in the wall began to roar in turns, and each row of 100 people, a total of 100 rows of 1,000 firecrackers fired in turn within 50 paces, the power was really huge, not to mention that there were several artillery pieces set up in this southwest high place.

Ten rows of musketeers, advance and retreat rotation, such a rotation, enough for the soldiers in the back row to load ammunition and shoot, and even have a waiting time, much more relaxed.

But for the cavalry of these steppe coalition forces outside, it was a standard nightmare, such a large surface, such a large shooting range, and such a close series of shooting.

The cavalry of these tribesmen, and the men in the best armor, could not resist the fire of the firearms, and the ten rows fired twice in turn, and they finished quickly.

The direction in which the men and horses were still clamoring was already quiet, and within seventy paces, there were no more people standing, and seventy paces away, the horses without knights were also frightened by the sound of gunfire and gunsmoke, stirring up the formation into confusion.

The prairie winds in early spring were very strong, and the smoke caused by the firecrackers was quickly blown away, and these coalition cavalry on the periphery no longer dared to attack in this direction.

There are other possible options, for several officers hurriedly mobilized men to attack on the other side, to have such a dense fire attack, the number must be quite a lot, such a large earth fence, to attack the other side, the other side must not be very large, it is impossible for the Tumut Department to leave too many troops and horses on their own side of the headquarters, attack the other side. The other party must have had no time to arrange.

High up in the center of the camp, there is a high platform made of wood and stones, and the people on the high platform are nervously watching the movement outside.

If you enter the interior of this earthen enclosure, there will be only a row of tents next to the earthen wall, and behind this row of tents is a wide passage, with fire guns on their backs, and a brigade of soldiers on horseback are on standby.

Seeing the movement of the enemy on the periphery, the soldiers on the high platform urgently waved their flags and gave orders. The cavalry on the passage hurriedly urged their horses in the direction indicated.

The movement of the inner circle must have been much faster than that of the outer circle, and when the allied forces on the steppe began to attack in a different direction, the musketeers inside the walls were ready to shoot.

The two attacks resulted in the loss of nearly 1,500 soldiers, and there were no minor deaths, but they were seriously wounded in a loss of combat effectiveness, which was really demoralizing. And because of the presence of firearms on the other side, the soldiers could not shoot arrows into it, because the range of the two sides was too far apart.

In the face of this earthen enclosure, the grassland coalition army is like facing a hedgehog covered in thorns, and they don't know where to go, and the hedgehog's thorns can shoot from a distance, and the injury is too heavy.

Coming like this, you can't just go like this, you must take here, and a few Na Yan who led the troops are summing up. But I heard the chaos ahead.

Because the brigade was out of range of the firearms, there was nothing to worry about. But there is also artillery in the earthen enclosure, Auman. Garris, putting these guns together, fired another round. Knock the coalition cavalry within range of the artillery on their backs.

These coalition cavalry on the periphery were convinced of their own victory on the battlefield, so they did not retreat from this side. Be sure to take it before your own people come. But what they were waiting for was the cavalry of the Tumut tribe returning from victory, and they saw that the formation was rigorous. The imposing Tumut cavalry, albeit incredible. But the cavalry that came over still illustrates the fact that the cavalry of the coalition army failed. For now, the only way to do this is to escape.

There was no battle between the cavalry and the cavalry, the weak allied army was divided into divisions, and they were embarrassed by the firearms in the earthen enclosure, and their morale was low. In addition to the slow ironclad cavalry, Chen Yongfu and Zhang Kun sent all the Han cavalry and 3,000 Tumut elite cavalry to the pursuit team.

This time, Yang Chengzu was even more experienced, although he was in the team of light cavalry to cover the killing, but he had already been eyeing the two nobles behind the big array.

This pursuit, but also he led the crowd to run in the front, such a battle made Yang Chengzu excited, I don't know why Yang Chengzu felt extremely happy on the grassland, not only the victory brought by strong strength, but also the pleasure of this conqueror, in the Ming Dynasty 6, at most, it was to kill a certain general soldier in the formation, but in this grassland, it was to chase and kill the Khan so-and-so, what a majesty this is, the husband should be so.

Compared with the short battle, this pursuit took nearly two days, and Chen Yongfu and Zhang Kun's clever arrangement was clever in arranging enough soldiers and horses to chase.

Although the fugitive nobles of Korqin and Harashen fled to their tribes several times, trying to gather their strength to fight back and swallow them up, the pursuing force was too strong and they were broken and defeated, and these nobles actually became the ones who led the way.

The next night, except for Tushetu Khan, who escaped on his own by changing clothes, the rest of the people were all killed on the bank of the Qinglong River, which was about 100 miles away from Longshan.

The grassland was originally waiting to see the Tumut cicada, and according to the theory of the law of the jungle, the cavalry that had been defeated and fled turned around and threw themselves into the Tumut department without shame.

After this battle, the cavalry under the control of the Tumut tribe had increased to nearly 40,000, although most of them were so-called rabble.

After Yang Chengzu's team killed the nobles of the two divisions, he only sent an envoy back to inform the brigade, and he was camped on the bank of the Qinglong River, and the seized materials were enough to build a decent camp If the cavalry of the brigade moved forward, it would have to reach the valley of the Daling River and the Xiaoling River, which was already an area traditionally controlled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and was currently the Khan of the Chahar Department. The Manchu puppet Khan Ezhe, the Tumut tribe and the cavalry he led were still moving slowly eastward, not stopping because there was any enemy in the east.

The time is close to May, the grassland has gradually turned green, the area of Eastern Mongolia, let the Tumut Department to make the wind and the situation is getting better and better, the army led by the Governor Hou Sui has gradually entered Ruzhou, the troops led by Hou Sui are similar to the actions of the Tumut Department on the grassland, completely shrunk into a ball. The camp was in the center, and the soldiers and horses of the four general soldiers surrounded it, and they never rushed lightly.

On the ground in Henan, the officers and soldiers and the militia were slaughtering like a saw, and the people's hearts were also extremely chaotic, and the soldiers and horses of the road army led by Niu Chenghu, the deputy general of the forward, led the army between Baisha and Ruzhou.

Nearly two years. The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty surrendered to the camp of the Shun army like a stream, but there were basically no people who were recruited and surrendered by Zhao'an on the side of the thieves.

Occasionally, a few were thrown to the Shandong side, and in the Huguang area, they all surrendered to the command of the general Zuo Liangyudi, the commander Li Yangchun is said to be a native of Mizhi County, the clansman of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, led a full 3,000 soldiers and horses to surrender, and the first striker Niu Chenghu and the general soldier Bai Guangen were all suspicious, for fear that it was a fraudulent surrender.

Careful detection and detection, and it is a multi-party temptation. In the end, Li Yangchun, the captain of Dashun, was determined to be a real surrender, not a fraudulent surrender.

Don't look at the surrender of the little captain. Supervisor Hou Sui was excited to write a document to report the victory, which said that due to Tianwei, the righteous people were inspired to surrender to Cheng, and the Ming Dynasty was hopeful, which was all the wisdom of the Son of Heaven. Soldiers are attentive.

Ruzhou City is also a big city in Henan, although Li Zicheng did not set up guards on the line from Tongguan to Luoyang. But a fortress like Ruzhou must have been heavily defended.

At this time, the Ming officers and troops were still huddled together, and they were extremely cautious. Bai Guangen, the general soldier of Yulin, and Niu Chenghu, the deputy general, went to the city first, and then Xu Dingguo, the general soldier of Shanxi, also went to the city of Ruzhou. Although Bai Wang, the mighty general of the Shun army, led light cavalry to harass him several times. The intention is to lead away the troops and horses, and the posture of the Ming official army, as long as Ruzhou is taken, the road from Tongguan to the hinterland of Henan can be almost half opened.

The army besieged the city, began to build siege equipment, and set up garrisons around it to prepare for a long-term siege.

During this time, Heaven and Earth were indeed the soldiers and horses led by the Governor Hou Sui, the Dashun civil and military forces in Ruzhou City, the civil official was the state Muqiu Zitao, and he was a literati who defected to the Shun Army after the city of Ruzhou was broken, and he had a special identity, he was the son of Qiu Yu, a former university scholar of the Ming Dynasty.

Qiu Zitao and others, born in a family of gentlemen, although they didn't know what to think when they were thieves, they could see that the Ming official army was winning one after another, and their position must have become very unfirm.

On the second day after Xu Dingguo, the chief soldier of Shanxi, arrived under the city, Qiu Zitao sent his hinterland family to sneak out of the city wall, and made a secret agreement with the Ming generals outside the city, and decided to open the city as the inner city.

The city of Ruzhou is thick and thick, if it is a real sword and a real gun to attack the city, it will definitely take too much effort, and it is of course best to have someone inside, but the Ming Dynasty is also afraid of the various strategies of the Shun army, although it is also prepared by people to cooperate with the outside, but it is still ready to attack.

But the next day, the direction of the main attack of the red-clothed artillery fired, the other side of the city gate has been opened, has long been prepared by the Ming cavalry swarmed in, although there are many soldiers and horses in the city of Ruzhou, but the main force is used to guard against the siege of foreign enemies, the city gate on the other side was originally intended to be used for maneuvering, who would have thought that it was opened by spies, and it was suddenly a mess. After about two hours, that Qiu Zitao was originally a Ruzhou pastor, and there were many cronies in the city, and he made a lot of arrangements in advance.

This battle was almost a perfect victory for the Ming official army, and almost none of the officers and soldiers of the Dashun army in Ruzhou City escaped, and all of them were captured or killed.

This battle is known as the "Ruzhou Victory", the Governor Hou Sui led the generals into the city proudly, Megatron the world, the report of the victory document to the Beijing Division, Chongzhen Emperor Longyan Dayue, it is said that has begun to discuss whether it is to add the title of Hou Suitai, there is a Ming generation, and there are only a few people Zhang Juzheng and Yan Song recently, and no matter what the fate is, but the glory in front of this body is incomparable.

In the Hou Fangyu of Changzhou Mansion, he was specifically promoted to the same knowledge of Changzhou Mansion, and according to this degree, the Changzhou Governor is also very fast.

The defeat of Ruzhou was also a great shock to the territory controlled by the Shun army, Nanyang Mansion and Runing Mansion, which had been a little quieter, and the local militia forces began to swarm again, in response to the actions of the imperial court, but Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, only left Li Guo and Gao Yigong in the land of Heluo, Liu Zongmin, Hao Shaoqi, and a cadre of generals came to Baofeng, Jiaxian, and Xiangcheng with eighty percent of the main force of the Shun army, and originally wanted to lure the enemy deeper, but did not expect the situation to develop to such a point.

In March of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Meng, the Duke of Qi, trained 10,000 recruits, and Wang Tao, the deputy general of Hebei, personally came to Jinan to receive troops.

What's more, the current Shandong is in great need of a few passes out of the jam, and a few passages along with the Ming Dynasty and the grassland.

In May, the Shun and Ming armies gathered in Henan, and fierce battles were fierce, and on the steppe, the combined forces of the Tumut and the cavalry of the border towns continued to the east, and were already quite close to the area controlled by the Chahar department.

On the harbor north of Dengzhou Prefecture, Li Meng, the Duke of Qi, personally came to the port to see off the naval army, and the ships of the Xinyang Water Camp and the Lingshan Water Camp, as well as the merchant ships controlled by the Lingshan Commercial Bank, all gathered here, and the waterline was very deep.

Dunglas, who was wearing armor, stood in front of the dockside pedal, and said loudly at Li Meng:

"Please rest assured, the last general will definitely be sent to Seoul!!"
