Chapter 160: Persuasion [Asking for Subscription]
The Mongol cavalry was fast, but died faster. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In just two minutes, more than 10,000 of the 30,000 Mongol cavalry besieging the 5th Division of the Han Army suffered casualties.
The Mongolian cavalry in the front kept sending them to death, and the Mongolian cavalry in the middle wanted to retreat but could only continue to rush forward with the crowd, but a part of the Mongolian cavalry commanders hanging at the back found the tragic situation ahead, if it continued like this, the Mongolian cavalry was all killed before they could rush to the Han position.
"Immortal Heaven, are the current enemies of your people the devil from hell?"
"Withdraw, retreat, don't rush!"
However, the Mongolian cavalry in front still couldn't retreat, so they could only continue to rush forward, and then their lives were taken away by the bullets and shells of the Han army.
"Only now do I remember to retreat, it's late, and the brothers beat me hard." A Han legionnaire shouted.
More than four minutes later, all the charging Mongol cavalry were shot, and the remaining Mongol cavalry, which was less than 8,000 men, was already a thousand meters away from the Han army's position.
The soldiers of the Han army could only watch the less than 8,000 Mongolian cavalry gradually move away, but there was no way to pursue, no way, there were only about 200 cavalry left in the fifth division, if they rushed up, maybe they would be swallowed by the Mongolian cavalry with crowd tactics, and the infantry would not be able to catch up with the cavalry.
The Han cavalry did not pursue the Mongol cavalry, but they could detect the movements of the Mongol cavalry, and the next moment the Han cavalry set off.
More than thirty minutes later, the Han cavalry returned, bringing the news that the Mongol cavalry had been running forward.
Wang Xinwei: "It seems that the Mongolian cavalry really fled, and ordered the regiments to quickly clean up the battlefield." ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers of the Han army held their guns and walked towards the miserable battlefield where the corpses were strewn all over the field, fortunately, the soldiers of the fifth division were not recruits, otherwise they would be so disgusted that they vomited.
Bang!
A Mongol cavalryman stood up from the pile of dead men and rushed towards the Han soldier with his saber, but was killed by a single shot from the Han soldier.
"Everyone be careful, there may be enemies who are playing dead, don't get hurt."
Despite warnings from officers at all levels, some Han soldiers were accidentally wounded by the Mongol cavalry, and two soldiers were killed as a result, and several were seriously injured.
In addition, the Han army also captured more than 30 lightly injured prisoners, and fell down with the war horse, and it was not easy to be slightly injured.
When the Fifth Division entered Inner Mongolia, it found several people who could speak Mongolian in advance, but they were afraid of the language barrier.
The leaders of the Mongolian tribes within hundreds of thousands of square kilometers gathered to discuss how to deal with the Han army, and finally the Mongolian tribes discussed, and each tribe sent men and horses according to the population, and finally gathered a Mongolian cavalry of more than 32,000 people to prepare for a surprise attack on the fifth division of the Han army.
The tribes that got the news in advance had already moved away from the route of the Han army, just for fear of being discovered by the Han army.
In addition, the Han army also obtained the specific location of its tribe from the mouths of the captives, but these Mongols had a hard mouth, and the Han soldiers took a lot of effort to pry them open.
After the battlefield had been cleared, Wang Xinwei ordered all units of the Fifth Division to camp on the spot to rest, and then Wang Xinwei ordered ten of the 30 or so lightly wounded prisoners to be brought over.
Bringing the captives over, Wang Xinwei naturally had something to do, following Yan Xueyi's order, the Han army did not want to slaughter all the Mongols, but to subdue the Mongols, and Wang Xinwei's next step was to persuade the Mongols to surrender.
The ten captives were brought, and through an interpreter, Wang Xinwei told the ten captives that the Han army would let them go back, but asked them to bring a message to the leader of their tribe: The Manchu Qing Dynasty has perished, don't resist stubbornly, surrender quickly, and everything in the past will not be investigated, otherwise all that awaits you is death.
The next morning, the Han army released the ten captives, and each prepared a horse and enough dry rations, and they were slightly wounded enough to return to the tribe on horseback.
After the prisoners were released, the Fifth Division also marched in the direction of the nearest Mongolian tribe, which had a population of more than 10,000 people, and was considered a relatively large tribe in Mongolia.
On the afternoon of the third day, the ten captives released by the Han army successfully returned to their respective tribes and passed the words of the Han army to the leaders of the tribes.
The leaders of these Mongol tribes knew that the Han army was invincible when the previous defeated army returned, and in order to prevent their tribes from being wiped out by the Han army, individual tribal leaders were ready to move their tribes to the steppe farther away.
However, when the ten tribesmen released by the Han army returned, the tribal leaders received the news that the Manchus had perished, and their mouths closed in surprise: how could the Manchus perish?
However, the tribal leader still believed that the strong disdained to tell lies, and the Han army that defeated 30,000 Mongolian cavalry was strong, and the Han army did not need to lie to them.
Surrender, fight, or flee?
Once again, the tribal leaders of the Mongolian steppes gathered to discuss what to do next.
Continuing to fight with the Han army was unanimously abandoned, and the 30,000 Mongolian cavalry could not get close to the Han army's position within 400 meters, and any further fight would only hurt the tribe's roots.
Then there are only two options left: surrender and escape.
Although the Mongols are nomadic people, the Mongols will not make long-distance migrations unless necessary, which will have a lot of uncertainty, and it is very likely that the entire tribe will suffer heavy losses and damage to the roots.
The option of surrendering to the Han army is very good, especially since the Han army promised not to blame it for the past, if this is true, then surrendering to the Han army may not be impossible.
In particular, the news that the Manchu Qing had fallen from the Han army surprised the leaders of the various tribes who had gathered, how the mighty Manchu Qing had suddenly perished.
This can only be said that the nomads are too slow to deliver messages.
If the Manchu Qing Dynasty were all destroyed, how could the Mongols, who were less than a million people, be able to hold back the powerful Han army, and where would they flee even if they fled?
Many tribal leaders have said, not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if they surrender to the Han army, what should the Han army do if the Han army attacks them again, no one can resist the Han army.
The leaders discussed for several days and still did not decide whether to surrender to the Han army, but they did not want to lead their tribes to migrate long distances, so they could only continue to discuss what to do.
However, the next day, the envoy of the Fifth Division of the Han Army arrived, which made the leaders feel the sincerity of the Han Army.
The envoy of the Fifth Division personally said to the leaders of the Mongolian tribes: If you surrender, we will not blame the past, and we will sell all kinds of goods to the grassland tribes to make the life of the steppe people better, but we have only one condition, that is, you will send people to join the Han army.
