Hatred has brought them to their senses, but the brutality of the war has brought them back to reality. Fifty steps before the car formation, it is a Shura hell, and getting close means death! After paying the heavy price of more than 2,000 casualties, Timur still did not see the slightest hope of breaking through the chariot formation, and the morale of the Mongol cavalry also entered the stage of "three exhaustions". If he insisted on continuing the attack, it was a question of whether his subordinates would be able to listen to his orders, so Timur, despite gritting his teeth and gurgling, could only reluctantly give the order to retreat.

The Mongol cavalry on the battlefield was granted amnesty, and suddenly retreated like a tide. The Qin soldiers in the car formation immediately broke out into a thunderous cheer, but then everyone was enveloped in sadness, because although this time the battle was won, the Qin soldiers also paid a heavy price.

In this battle, the Qin soldiers lost a total of 79 people, seriously wounded 157 people, and slightly wounded more than 300 people, and the casualties accounted for almost one-sixth of the total strength. Among them, Liu Quanzhong, commander of the first battalion of the first regiment, was seriously wounded, Jin Tongwu, commander of the second battalion of the second regiment, also hung the lottery, and five officers below the company commander were killed and 11 wounded. And the hundreds of Han Chinese and Mongol captives were also killed by bows and arrows, and the cries and wails were intertwined, which made people feel sorry.

The soldiers silently gathered the bodies of their fallen comrades, while the medics were busy cleaning and bandaging the wounds of the wounded, including the wounded Mongols. Xie Shengqin led the guard company out of the car formation to clean up the battlefield, in fact, the main thing was to see if there were any Mongols who were not dead, and if there was, he would make up for it.

The battlefield was filled with a disgusting smell, and the vast majority of Mongols were not even able to see a corpse in the capital, let alone alive. But it is true that there are a few people lying in the pile of corpses to survive, but the soldiers are full of anger because they have sacrificed so many comrades, and after discovering the Mongols who are not dead, they will not make up for a knife, but surround them and cut them indiscriminately until they are cut into meat sauce.

Xie Sheng hurriedly stopped this meaningless act and ordered the corpses to be set on fire immediately, so that too many corpses would interfere with the shooting. In a matter of moments, the raging fire consumed the corpses of the Mongols and the horses, but due to the accumulation of corpses on the battlefield, they could not be burned for a while.

The flames quickly spread in all directions, and Xie Sheng hurriedly led the soldiers back to the car formation. Because of the fact that they were separated by a trench that was more than one wide of each other, the fire had no effect on the Qin soldiers. But the Mongols were miserable, they surrounded the Qin army, and no matter where the fire burned, they would suffer. Fortunately, they were quite experienced in the fires on the grassland, and immediately worked hard to cut the grass about a foot wide in front of the camp. The fire burned here, and because there was nothing combustible, it stopped. After another half of the day, it was not until dusk that the fire gradually went out.

Looking at the surroundings of the car array, it has become a charred and black place. A large number of corpses had been reduced to ashes in the flames, and when the evening breeze blew, they were wiped out, just like the former glory of the Mongols.

In the car formation, Li Dingguo was gathering all the officers to hold a post-war summary meeting. Xie Sheng first said with emotion: "We fought very bravely in this battle, and the sacrifice was also great, but our sacrifice was worth it. Without such a fierce battle, we would not be able to consume the enemy's forces, and it would be difficult for the cavalry units behind to completely annihilate the enemy. It's too far away from Jingyang, and the battlefield conditions don't allow it, so the remains of the sacrificed soldiers, I think it's safe to go to the ground on the spot. His Royal Highness once said, 'Castle Hill buries the bones of the faithful everywhere, why bother with the horse leather shroud', as long as we always remember these warriors in our hearts, it will be the same wherever we are buried. Besides, this is also the land of my Ming Dynasty, and after the complete defeat of the Mongols, we will come here every year to pay respects. ”

The generals were silent, and these iron-clad men were all flushed with their eyes at this time. After a long time, Li Dingguo took a deep breath and said, "The battle is not over yet. After this battle, the Mongols lost about 3,000 troops, and there should be 10,000 cavalry left. With such heavy casualties, they should not dare to attack rashly, but their forces are still very strong. Our next task is to continue to consume their forces, and for this reason, we cannot wait for the rabbit forever. Tonight, I will personally lead a company of troops to harass the Mongols, which company will want to go with me? ”

"Dingguo, you are the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, you can't go!" Xie Sheng immediately interrupted him and said, "I'm a deputy, and this kind of task should be my way." ”

"The two regiment commanders don't have to go, wrap it up on me!" Liu Quanzhong, who was pale because of excessive blood loss, jumped up and gritted his teeth and said, "If I don't beat out the of the Mongolians, I won't have a surname Liu!" ”

Other officers also took the initiative to ask for help, and finally Li Dingguo stood up and said, "I understand your feelings. But we have too few horses, and it is dangerous to harass us at night, and I must control the proportions of this. Brother Xie, you are an old man, and it is very suitable to be responsible for the defense of the car formation. Liu Quanzhong, from now on, your task is to recuperate from your injuries, and you don't even think about going to war, but your sniper squad will be under my direct command for the time being. Dou Fame, you didn't hang the lottery, right? What about your battalion's casualties? ”

"Commander Qiyu, I didn't hang the lottery, and the situation of the first battalion is fine. Three of them were in reserve, and there were basically no casualties. Dou Mingwang replied solemnly.

"Good! That's it," Li Dingguo said in an unquestionable tone, "You immediately gather the soldiers of the three companies, and complete the preparation within half a moment." The sniper squad of the first battalion is coming over now. The rest of the people dispersed, and let the soldiers hurry up and sleep in shifts, and after a while, the battle began, and I was afraid that you would not be able to sleep if you wanted to! ”

More than an hour passed, and the night had completely engulfed the entire prairie. During the day, the battlefield was still full of golden drums and people shouting and neighing, but at this time it was terrifyingly quiet and terrifyingly dark. As the fire burned the grass, there was not even a single grass worm crying, and there was only a faint starlight in the night sky. The battlefield was already charred black, and it was even darker at this time.

In this boundless darkness, the car formation quietly opened a hole, and more than 100 Qin soldiers led their horses on foot and slowly touched the Mongolian camp in the distance. Only a few of these horses were brought by Qin soldiers from Jingyang, and most of them were mounted by captured Mongols.

The leader was none other than Li Dingguo, and Dou Mingwang followed closely behind him. This team was like a ghost, gradually approaching the Mongol camp, and when there were still more than 200 steps away from the opponent's camp gate, Li Dingguo stood on the ground and shouted in a low voice: "Get on the horse!" ”

The warriors mounted their horses one after another and raised their bird guns. Only a few soldiers of the sniper squad remained in place, lying on the ground and setting up the flint and reluctant, ready to attack.

"After a while, the battle began, and everyone followed me closely." Li Dingguo said in a deep voice, "I don't ask you how accurate your guns are, but when you get close to the Mongol camp, you can throw grenades as far as I can, and not one of them will be thrown out." Let's go! ”

As soon as Li Dingguo's voice fell, with a crisp gunshot, the sentry on the sentry tower at the camp gate fell in response. This team immediately launched a heroic charge against the enemy camp with tens of thousands of Mongol troops with an indomitable momentum!
