Chapter 1231: The Court of Soldiers

Like Zizik, the leaders of these tribes were in awe, but they were now on the winning side anyway! So when the horn of the charge sounded, they immediately brandished their sabers and rushed out with their cavalry.

This charge was far more determined and agitated than the last, for Dayan Khan's army had been routed, and they were chasing and slaughtering them. They are about to enjoy the fruits of victory.

The defeat was like a mountain, the entire tens of thousands of cavalry were defeated, and Dayan Khan felt deep despair while fleeing! 60,000 cavalry were defeated by the musket array, can there be any hope of defeating the musket array?

This is already the largest cavalry that Dayan Khan can gather, and this defeat is despair for Dayan Khan!

Gather the rout? There's no need for it! What if all the routs were gathered together? Dayan Khan felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

It's not just Dayan Khan who has a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, the leaders of those tribes have experienced this massacre, no, after the charge, they also feel a deep sense of powerlessness!

It is no wonder that Dayan Khan has been defeated again and again since the Battle of Xuanfu, because the musket array of the Ming Dynasty is simply unable to compete! These defeated leaders didn't expect to gather at Dayan Khan again, and they didn't have the idea of returning to the Khan's court, they fled directly, ready to go back to the tribe directly!

These scattered tribes were not Dayan Khan's hardcore cronies at all, so Zhang Zhijie did not pay attention to them, but ordered the cavalry to pursue the deserters who were not scattered.

Those are all the close clans of Dayan Khan, and they are the central tribes of the steppe, led by Chahar. What's more, Dayan Khan is definitely among them.

There is no doubt that Dayan Khan is the person Zhang Zhijie can't let go of the most, although Zhang Zhijie came with the idea of capturing and killing Huadang, but a hundred wandering Huadang is not as valuable as Dayan Khan.

It would be nice if he could catch Dayan Khan, Zhang Zhijie's thoughts, so it was very tempting for Zhang Zhijie to give Dayan Khan a reward before the war. Although this reward was very attractive before the war, everyone didn't think it was anything, after all, Dayan Khan had gathered 60,000 cavalry.

But now it's different, Dayan Khan's 60,000 cavalry has been dispersed, Dayan Khan is also fleeing in disarray, and the cavalry around him is only more than 10,000!

Therefore, the reward offered by Zhang Zhijie became extremely attractive, anyway, Dayan Khan's cavalry was scattered, and it was not impossible to capture Dayan Khan.

This time Dayan Khan's 60,000-strong army assembled suffered heavy losses, and was slaughtered by a musket array when he charged, and was chased and killed by cavalry after he was dispersed.

Dayan Khan waged three great wars, each of which ended in a crushing defeat, each with heavy losses, and the strength of the tribes of the steppe was cut in half after three wars.

Tian Shiyuan led the cavalry to chase and kill for dozens of miles, and the cavalry around Dayan Khan was killed from more than 10,000 to only three or four thousand, but he still let Dayan Khan escape.

Unable to break away from the governor's army too far, Tian Shiyuan could only give up the pursuit after chasing for dozens of miles and had to turn back.

On the return trip, Tian Shiyuan's mood was a little depressed, and he was a little disappointed because his expectations were too high. At the beginning of the Battle of Yongning, he and Jiang Huaixin of Xuanfu and Wang Chong of the General Army were shocked beyond measure, and after confirming that the news was true, the ecstasy made him unforgettable.

It's a little funny to think about it now, because who would have thought that there would be a later victory in Xuanfu? When they thought that the victory of Xuanfu had already achieved great merit and was already a great achievement that was difficult to surpass, the Governor recovered Daning City again.

Not only recovered the city of Daning, but also defeated Dayan Khan's army again in Daning, even at that time, he did not expect that today, Horqin and other eastern tribes have been surrendered, they entered the depths of the steppe, completely defeated Dayan Khan, and immediately occupied the Mongolian Khan's court!

A year ago, they were helpless against the sweeping edge of the steppe cavalry on the walls of Xuanfu, and now, they have hit the court of the Tatar Khan! It's like a dream, even if it's a dream, you can't imagine it!

And all this is because of one person, the young Governor, who thought of the Governor Tian Shiyuan's face with a hint of fanaticism. In his opinion, the merits of the Governor are not comparable to even the King of Zhongshan. Because the Governor not only captured the Prairie Khan, but also the rich country and strong soldiers!

It was precisely because of such a simple and uneventful defeat of Dayan Khan's 60,000 iron cavalry that Tian Shiyuan was full of hope for capturing Dayan Khan alive, but unfortunately, Dayan Khan was allowed to escape.

Tian Shiyuan led the army back, and the battlefield at this time had been cleaned up, and the musketeers were also on their horses. Tian Shiyuan took Qi Qike and others to the Chinese army, and when he saw the governor sitting on his horse, Tian Shiyuan quickly dismounted and knelt down on one knee and said: "Lord Governor, the subordinates are not doing well, let Dayan Khan escape with thousands of horses!" ”

Qizik and other tribal leaders also hurriedly rolled off their horses, and knelt on the ground in awe behind them, and now they felt the chill from the bottom of their hearts.

It was indeed a little disappointed, but Zhang Zhijie still smiled and said: "Dayan Khan has a big fate, but it's nothing." Dayan Khan lost his armor with 60,000 iron horsemen beaten by Bendu, and only a few thousand horsemen escaped, what waves could he make again? Dayan Khan, from now on, is just in name only! ”

The people behind also felt that it was true, Dayan Khan, as the lord of the grassland, had gathered most of the troops of the grassland and still lost consecutive battles, and now he only had thousands of horsemen left, and he really couldn't make any waves.

After Zhang Zhijie finished speaking, he looked up into the distance, and the Khan Ting was in that direction, only a hundred miles away from here. Zhang Zhijie raised his whip and pointed into the distance, and said with a smile: "Get on the horse, the soldiers are sweating!" ”

Dayan Khan's assembled army was defeated, and the cavalry of the various tribes had no intention of going to the Khan's court after they broke up, because they knew that even if they went to the Khan's court, it would be useless for the army to regroup, and if they couldn't fight it, they couldn't beat it, so they all fled back to their tribes.

Dayan Khan fled all the way and finally got rid of the pursuers behind, seeing that he only had thousands of cavalry left, Dayan Khan had a feeling of sadness, it was really the end of the road.

However, Dayan Khan couldn't cry because he was not completely safe, and this place was not far from the Khan's court, but Dayan Khan, after thinking about it carefully, did not gallop in the direction of the Khan's court, but went straight west with the army.

Because he knew that Zhang Zhijie's army would definitely go straight to the Khan Court, and it would be too dangerous for him to return to the Khan Court, so Dayan Khan decided to give up everything, after all, nothing was as important as his own life.
