Chapter 843: Shooting the Wolf (Part II)

After coming to the north, the only major battle was fought, and after careful planning, the Mongols were lured to the Jedi, relying on the chariot formation, and the victory was bombarded with artillery. Although the losses in that battle were not small, the terrifying number of enemies annihilated there still made people feel that they should deserve it, and it was the first time that such a disastrous victory was achieved.

This perfect sneak attack, and finally achieved such results, finally made the Qi family army and the young Zhuang faction represented by Qi Jimei completely get rid of their arrogance, and realized that in this grassland of less than one in ten mountains, rivers and woodlands, it was impossible to eliminate the fierce Mongolian cavalry at a very small cost.

"This is the Dalhuts." Seeing that the heroic young general was depressed, Jiang Yingxiong pointed to the green banner on the ground and said: "They are the elite warriors guarding the tomb of Genghis Khan, the Eight White Rooms, and their leader is called Darhat, who leads warriors selected from various tribes to guard the god enshrined by Genghis Khan. Although its strength is no longer comparable to that of hundreds of years ago, it is still a cut above other tribes. Saying it, he said with a smile of joy: "Fortunately, this Darhardt is a brave and brainless person, who only knows how to train his subordinates to ride and shoot, and does not know how to drill tactics, otherwise if we organize two elite cavalry to attack from the flanks to our rear, it is difficult to say who will win and who will lose."

"It's arrogant before the next one." , Qi Jimei opened her mouth, revealing four gold teeth and said, "I am not prepared for such a loss." ”

"It's good to get used to it, how can there be an immortal" Jiang Yingxiong patted him on the shoulder and said: "This is the hinterland of the Mongols, and there may be enemies at any time, so let's hurry up and clean up the battlefield and join the army." ”

"The responding troops have arrived." Before the words fell, a scout rushed over to report.

I saw Hu Shouren leading a chariot battalion and an infantry battalion, and more than 10,000 people came from a distance.

"Brother Hu", why are you here? Qi Jimei hurriedly greeted him.

Hu Shouren looked at Qi Jimei and saw that he didn't lack any parts up and down, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The marshal is worried about the unfavorable war, so he ordered me to follow behind to meet you." It's a pity that I can't compare with the four-legged one, hurry up and hurry, or only catch up with the cleaning of the battlefield" said and smiled at Jiang Yingxiong: "Let the soldiers rest quickly, and leave it to us here." Jiang Yingxiong knew that now was not the time to be polite, and let the troops recover their strength as soon as possible" in case the Mongols attacked.

Tidy up the battlefield, organize equipment, collect prisoners, treat the wounded, and collect loot...... and so on, Qi Jimei wanted to take people to destroy the Mongols' Eight White Rooms, but was stopped by Hu Shouren and said: "The Inspector has an order to prohibit the destruction of Genghis Khan's Eight White Rooms." Although she didn't understand, Qi Jimei didn't dare to question Shen Mo's decision, pouted, and didn't insist.

At noon, more than 3,000 women and children were captured, and more than 10,000 horses and more than 20,000 cattle and sheep were collected, and the harvest was very rich.

Hu Shouren ordered the wounded horses to be killed at once, and ordered the collected bodies of his comrades to be loaded into the cart, and the wounded soldiers were also arranged to sit in the cart, took out the map, took out the compass, and ordered the army to move in the northwest direction: "The herald was ordered to go flat and immediately move westward." "What about the captives, women and children? ", the adjutant general whispered.

"Carry them along." , Hu Shouren said lightly: "Cooking and taking care of the wounded need manpower ......", the general conveyed it, and the army began to retreat. After exiting more than 30 miles, the scouts came to report that they had found the Mongols' brigade of cavalry, and Hu Shouren sneered and said, "Don't pay attention to them." ", ordered the troops to maintain a uniform pace of progress.

At about mid-afternoon, the Mongols sent their cavalry to harass them, but when they approached within 100 zhang, they were named by the Ming marksmen sitting on chariots with Longqing-style flintlock muskets. The gun was both far and accurate, "completely beyond the Mongolian understanding of the fire mirror, and the special deformation projectile has great lethality to the target" The person was shot and passed out directly, and the horse was immediately paralyzed after being shot. And the rate of fire is extremely fast" In the blink of an eye, more than 100 cavalry fell off their horses, so shocked that the rest of the Mongols did not dare to approach again. can only stay far behind, watching the Ming Dynasty people carry their women, cattle and sheep away...... This plunged the Mongols into great frustration, because in their experience, the situation of the two sides should have been reversed.

When it was dark, the attacking troops rushed to the agreed place, and Qi Jiguang's army was indeed camped there and waiting............ The brigade entered the fortified camp surrounded by chariots. Although it was only a temporary camp, Qi Jiguang still kept his Beijing camp solid............ Beyond the three lines of deer, ditch, and horse rejection were the walls of chariots connected from end to end, each with a Franc machine loaded with loose ammunition, and four gunners with a Longqing style on guard. Dozens of more bands of rangers patrolled the perimeter.

In the camp, there are a total of three layers of vehicle formation, Qi Jiguang has assigned specific defensive tasks to all the troops, once there is a loss, the responsible leader will be beheaded, and if the responsible leader dies in battle, the whole team will be beheaded. In this era when the army is still fighting for no reason, of course, it is not enough to be blindly harsh, and the combination of rigidity and softness is the right way. Qi Jiguang and Liu Xian personally went to the gate of the camp to greet the triumphant generals, but the first to enter the camp were the remains of the fallen soldiers covered with green army quilts. Qi Jiguang gave an order not to abandon the wounded robe as a last resort, and to bring the body back to the camp as much as possible, so as to increase the cohesion of the army and make the officers and soldiers brave to face sacrifice............ Since the beginning of Longshanwei, this behavior has always become a unique tradition of the Qi family's army, and now it has become a ritual for the re-establishment of the army.

In a solemn atmosphere, the soldiers sent their fallen comrades on their last journey, and then the bodies will be cremated and put on the altar, waiting for the class teachers to return to their hometowns to send them to their respective hometowns for burial. For these men who sold their lives to the imperial court, it is not terrible to shroud the corpse of the horse, but what is terrible is to expose the corpse in the wilderness and become a lonely ghost on the grassland; Being able to return to their roots now is a great comfort to both the living and the dead.

He also asked the wounded soldiers to be sent to the rear army medical team...... Entrusted by Shen Mo, Li Shizhen and others taught in Suzhou Medical College in the name of Li Shizhen, and trained hundreds of military doctors who were proficient in battlefield nursing and good at anti-inflammatory. Half a year ago, Shen Mo transferred the 300 military doctors who graduated from the first batch to Beijing, and equipped them with the most cost-effective gold sore medicine of this generation...... Yunnan wound medicine and Yunnan koji wine. Note 1: It can greatly improve the survival rate of seriously injured soldiers. After testing, "seventy percent of those soldiers who did not break their muscles and bones can survive the infection and recover their combat effectiveness in a very short time, which is already the ultimate under medical conditions at this time."

The dead and wounded soldiers were settled, and it was already completely dark. Bonfires were lit everywhere in the camp, and the officers and men dug wells to get water, killed sheep for barbecue, and cooked and boiled water. But Qi Jiguang still inspected the camp again, and when he saw that the arrangements were complete, he returned to the campfire of the Chinese army.

On the bonfire was a huge fat sheep, the mutton had been roasted to a golden brown, and the oozing fat was dripping on the fire, giving off a tangy aroma. At this time, there were countless bonfires burning in the camp, and beef and mutton were barbecued on the bonfires, and the aroma of meat wafted throughout the camp. Qi Jiguang ordered each squad to be given three catties of wine, and although the officers and soldiers were asked to keep quiet, they still broke out into an irrepressible cheer. The joy of eating meat and sipping wine after exhaustion makes this slaughtering military camp very moving.

The soldiers removed the roasted whole sheep from the campfire, and the generals took out their swords around their waists to cut the mutton to eat. The first clumsy cut meat to eat, this move won the favor of the officers, and they all felt that the civilian officers of the prison army were very kind, and they did not point fingers and feet, and they had many mouths and tongues, which was really rare, so they competed to toast to them, "The prison soldiers also did not refuse, and everyone ate mutton while drinking, which was very enjoyable."

Qi Jiguang is also very happy, although Q has become famous all over the world, but he has never fought with the Mongols on the grassland, and his name as the first general of the Ming Dynasty "always seems not so reasonable, and even he himself is a little drummed in his heart." But this battle was won, because he had full confidence in his army, and he no longer jumped on the established strategy......

sat down on his own tiger skin" Qi Jiguang took care of his brother carefully, and asked with concern: "It's not hurt." "It's all flesh wounds, don't tighten." Although Qi Jimei was extremely violent, she was very afraid of this brother who was like a brother and a father, and said like a wrong child: "But there are too many dead and injured brothers......

"Well......", Qi Jiguang put his own soldier in front of him, handed it to Qi Jimei, nodded and said: "The cruelty of grassland warfare is something I didn't expect. ”

"Those Mongols are really strong, if it is one-on-one, our soldiers are at a disadvantage, fortunately we have guns and chariots." , Jiang Yingxiong on the side said with deep feelings: "Otherwise, I am afraid that this expedition will not be optimistic." "Hmm. Qi Jiguang bowed his head and said: "I hope this battle can have the desired effect." According to the battlefield situation deduced by the Ministry Division, if we do not do our best to exterminate the Turghut tribe immediately after arriving in the steppe, it will be difficult to have a chance to completely annihilate the entire Mongols in the future.

Because once the war started, the Mongol tribes would immediately transfer the property of women and children to the north, crossing the Yellow River to the north to avoid the army. At that time, only the Mongol men who incarnated as cavalry were left in the set, their horsemanship was superb, and they were familiar with the terrain, and the Ming army had no hope of fighting a war of annihilation, so it was necessary to rely on today's battle to defeat the courage of the Mongols and create an advantage in momentum for their own side. In this era, fighting a war depends on one breath, and whoever is short of breath will surely taste the consequences of defeat.

Now it is worth it to defeat the most elite of the Turks in the trap, even if it takes a little extra sacrifice.

Qi Jiguang expected that the news of the near-destruction of the Turghut tribe spread throughout the steppe that day, deeply shocked the Mongolian tribes in the suit, and the ministries mobilized with all their might, women, children, old and children, put away their tents, drove the cattle and sheep to the north, and the men put on ancestral leather armor, carried bows, arrows, sabers, fed their beloved war horses, and then marched to their respective tribal centers, where they would turn from herdsmen to fierce Mongol cavalry, under the leadership of their respective leaders, vowing to defend their homeland with blood............ The same scene was played out everywhere in the suit, but just a day later, the originally peaceful and peaceful Ordos grassland became a suffocating battlefield.

After receiving the summoning order from the eldest brother Noyan Dala, they rushed to Jinong City at the moment when Qi Jiguang and their "division were under their command", and a meeting of leaders was being held in Jinong City of the Ordos Department......

The meeting began with the roar of Amur, who was wrapped in a white veil and looked like a sick tiger, he had always regarded himself very highly, although his strength was not as good as that of his eldest brother Noyan, but he was recognized as the first in internal combat power, and even in the eyes of many people, if it were not for the heavy duty of guarding the spirit of the Holy Lord to bind this tiger, the leader of the Ordos tribe would be his, and the tribe would not have become a vassal of the Altos tribe as it is now.

But in just one day, the Amur tribe was completely crippled, which made the proud "Darhat, how can you accept it?" In order to vent the terrible negative emotions in his heart, he pointed the finger at his eldest brother and roared: "You and I are less than a hundred miles apart, why do I ask people to ask for help several times, but you never save you?!" ”

Noyan Dara is a fair-skinned and well-groomed beautiful man. Even if you don't look at his gorgeous silk robe, the Mongolian short sword inlaid with gold and jade at his waist, just look at his beautiful eyes, straight nose, and carefully trimmed beard, you will be intoxicated by his aristocratic temperament. Especially among Mongolian men who generally have small eyes and flat faces and do not take a bath all year round, they stand out from the crowd and are amazing.

But for the Mongol Jinong, whose status is second only to the Mongol Great Khan, or even higher than that of Altan Khan, it is useless to grow a huā, you have to be ruthless enough, you have to be cunning enough, just like their father Gunberik! It's a pity...... Noyandara it all up, and he didn't inherit any of his father's successful qualities.

The dignified Mongolian Jinong, but there is a strong literary atmosphere, which is recognized by various ministries as the root of the degeneration of the Ordos Ministry, so the brothers have little respect for him...... If Altan Khan hadn't even been happy to see this situation, Noyandara would have been driven out of Jinong City eight lifetimes earlier.

For the eighth brother's habitual roaring, Noyan Dara has long reached the level of spitting on his own face, but being scolded as a grandson in front of his younger brothers, he is still a little angry When Amur finished scolding, he said unhurriedly: "As the leader of the tribe, the most important thing is the news of the invasion of An Yuna, who protects the tribe, or my daughter sent someone to inform you, right?" Why are you so careless? Seeing that Amur was about to get mad, he hurriedly saw that he was good and said: "This kind of thing happens, everyone doesn't want it, when encountering difficulties, brothers help each other, and there is no mountain of flames that cannot be crossed." The most important thing is that you are okay, otherwise I don't know how to explain to my father Khan's spirit in the sky...... By the way, you haven't eaten for a day, are you hungry, I'll ask Zhong Jin and her mother to give you a bowl of noodles to eat? Amur couldn't get out of the fire, so it was really uncomfortable not to be there, so he could only snort and said: "What to eat is not good, learn Han people to eat noodles all day long, I want to eat roast lamb shank!" Let the brothers hurry up to serve a plate of roasted whole sheep, and Noyan Dara had a chance to get to the point: "Daming is menacing this time, according to the spies, the number of people is no less than 100,000, which shows that this time the movement is really good." ”

In addition to Amur, there were also the second Baisan, the fifth Buyangu, and the seventh Bart............ When their dead ghost father was there, he arranged the four of them in the east, west, north and south of the Khan Court in order to defend Jinong City. Later, although my father died and no one bought Noyan's account, the location of their respective tribes did not change, so once something happened, they could still arrive within a day.

Among the several brothers present, the second brother Baisang was the most gloomy and resourceful, this buddy was not born, if it was not for Altan Khan's pressure, I don't know how many brothers he usurped. So he said with a bit of yin and yang: "The eldest brother is Jinong, what should I do, you can just leave, let's listen." ”

Buyangu and Bart have always looked down on the boss, but they looked at the head of the second child, and when they heard the words, they also said angrily: "You can say it in the big season." "Since that's the case. That brother said about the rules......" Nuoyan didn't slip away, and then said slowly: "Looking back now, the Ming army began to gradually expand the side wall to the north two years ago, but at that time, everyone didn't believe that they would take the initiative, so they were careless." Now it seems that they are so deliberate, I don't think Bacheng will just search for the nest and pull it down as usual, but want to completely recover the Hetao. ”

"Don't think!" Hearing this, the brothers sneered and said, "We have been here for several generations, and we can see this grassland as soon as we open our eyes, and no one wants to take it away from us!" "Good! Nuoyan slapped his hands and smiled: "If you brothers can have this heart, we will definitely be able to drive the enemy out of our homeland." So he discussed with his brothers how to deal with the enemy.
