readx; It was not until near dusk that Timur, the "Qingshan Khan" of Ordos, received the stream where Bauktu had been attacked from the mouth of the defeated army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Info Hearing that his son Zhuoligtu had been killed in battle, that all his family had been captured, and that all the supplies of Bao Ketu had fallen into the hands of the enemy, this fierce Mongolian man who was over fifty years old but was still very strong and brave could not help but be furious.

Due to the fact that the spread of information was still very slow in this era, Timur did not know that there was such a force as the "Qin soldiers", and thought that all this was done by the Ming army stationed in Yulin. Normally, when he led his men to pass near Yulin, the defenders were cowering in the city and did not dare to come out, and Timur wondered why they had eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall this time, and traveled hundreds of miles to attack Baoketu?

When asked about the attacking Ming army of only more than 1,000 people (Li Dingguo's second regiment had not yet arrived at that time), and all of them were infantry, Timur was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and asked again and again how this battle was lost.

But after all, this old guy has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is indeed very experienced in combat. After listening to the description of the defeated soldier, he immediately patted his thigh and said bitterly: "Zhuo Ligetu is such a fool, damn it!" Column charge, isn't this a ** to send to death, just change it to a horizontal charge! ”

Bauktu meant a lot to the Ordos Ministry, as well as to Timur himself. It is not only the permanent place of Dalat Banner in recent years, storing a large amount of materials and wealth, but also the most abundant water and grass in the Hetao area. A few decades ago, when Timur was still young, it was the cavalry of the Dalat banner that won the battle for Bauktu within the tribe in one fell swoop, so that the other five banners were brought to their knees and won the title of "Qingshan Khan". Now, if he is taken to his hometown by more than 1,000 infantrymen, not only will the material losses be huge, but the other five banners will also think that he has lost his leadership ability and will not listen to his orders, so that his "Qingshan Khan" will be the end.

Therefore, Timur only thought about it for a moment, and immediately ordered the gathering of the Six Banners to destroy the Ming army occupying Baoketu in one fell swoop. However, the main force of his Dalat banner is dozens of miles northwest of Baoketu, not very far away; However, the other five banners were scattered in the vast Hetao area, some more than 200 miles apart, and for the sake of prudence, Timur still ordered all his troops to concentrate at him first, and then go together to attack Kaktu.

Despite the mobility of the Mongol cavalry, it took time to deliver messages and gather troops. By the time Timur gathered the 15,000 troops of the Six Banners of Ordos and slaughtered towards Baoketu, it was already the afternoon of the next day.

"What's going on?" When he saw a "fortress" on the horizon in the distance, Timur could not help but be shocked. From the geographical point of view, he knew that it was Baoketu, but Baoketu was a flat grassland, how could there be a fortress?

It wasn't until miles away that the Mongols realized that it was not a "fortress", but a circular formation of carts. However, although the car formation was spectacular, the Mongols did not pay much attention to it. After all, they had 15,000 cavalry, and the other side only had 1,000 or 2,000 men in total, and they were all infantry, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Timur, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, was not in a hurry to attack, but gave an order for the Mongol cavalry to completely surround the chariot array from the perimeter. Timur's aim was to first break the morale of the Ming army, and when they felt hopeless, they would force a breakthrough, and that was the best time to annihilate the enemy.

But until the red sun was setting in the west and the moon was rising, the Ming army on the opposite side did not move at all, neither scolding nor putting guns and arrows, nor breaking through, and not even seeing a personal shadow. Timur was suspicious in his heart, secretly wondering if the Ming army was asleep?

At this time, several generals under his command were already impatiently asking him for battle. Timur knew what they were thinking, and according to the Mongol rules, the spoils of war could be divided in half with the tribal leaders. Now that all his family wealth has fallen into the hands of the Ming army, if he takes it back, it will be regarded as a trophy, and he will have to distribute some of the flags. Therefore, he wanted to send someone to reconnoiter the reality of the Ming army first, and if he had no combat effectiveness, he would simply only put himself on the Dalat banner, so that he could lose some less supplies.

Soon, more than a dozen fast horses carrying Mongol sentries quietly touched the Ming army's chariot formation from the Mongolian tent several miles away in the hazy night. They weren't stupid either, and they reined in their mounts a hundred and fifty paces from the chariot. This distance was far beyond the range of the bow and arrow, and the sentries pulled away, each dozens of paces apart, carefully observing the enemy from all angles.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a crisp gunshot broke the silence of the grassland in the night. However, these sentries also know very well that the Ming army's bird guns can only shoot forty or fifty paces away at most, which is not as good as their own bows and arrows, and they can't hurt themselves no matter how they shoot. Therefore, they still observed with great grace, not noticing the approach of death at all.

"Bang! Bang bang bang! The gunshots rang out again and again, and that's when they realized something was wrong. Because although the Mongols do not use bird guns, they are also very clear about the disadvantages of bird guns. In the darkness of the night, the spark of the Bird's Gun lighting the Rope should be clearly visible, and it will last at least a few seconds before the Bird's Gun fires. But this time they didn't see anything, just saw a flash of fire somewhere, and the gunshots rang out at the same time.

And some of the sentry detectives didn't say hello, and began to turn around and run back. In the eyes of the Mongols, as long as they go to the battlefield, they must advance and retreat together, and it is absolutely forbidden to retreat on their own regardless of their comrades, and they may be beheaded if they return. What happened to these people who knew they couldn't do it?

"Bang!" The gunshot rang out again, but this time it was accompanied by a long, miserable hiss: "Ah!! ”

The Mongolian sentries were horrified to discover that the enemy's bird guns could hit them, and this miserable hissing was sent by a sentry after being shot! The people on it had already been shot and died, and the strange thing was that they didn't even say a word! This frightened them, and they shouted and turned their horses' heads, and were defeated in battle.

At the same time, in the Qin soldier car formation, Liu Quanzhong, the commander of the first battalion, whispered to a junior officer: "Tell you to blow with me!" Didn't you say that the gun shot the head, why did this shot hit the shoulder? ”

The officer said with an embarrassed face: "It's too dark, and that Mongolian looks strange, and his head is so small, maybe he is wrong..."

It turned out that this officer was Hua Mingyuan, the squad leader of the first battalion sniper squad, and the soldiers under him used the latest weapon produced by the Qinwangzhuang Arsenal: the Suifa Lumi Gun!
