Chapter 285: The Battle of the Dead
The Mongols, who had just been laughing at them, could no longer talk about morale after several successive blows, and at this time, they had to face this cruel truth. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Ming army horse team, which had always been regarded as sheep by themselves, actually defeated them with the same number of people, and even the commander and several centurions were killed without suspense, and the only reason why many people were still fighting was that they couldn't run at all.
The Ming army outside has been encircled, and the bloody guns make these Mongols dare not think about breaking through at all, and the Mongols who are not collected and slashed together by the Ming army at night, the more they fight, the more they feel that these southerners are too different, and the lower their morale is.
Originally, the Han people they saw saw that their horse team was all fleeing when they heard the wind, and it was difficult to defend the city, let alone go out of the city to fight in the field, it was absolutely impossible, even in battle, it was rare to hold on for so long.
These Han people in front of them simply subverted these Mongols' long-standing views on the Ming army, and until now, whether it is infantry or cavalry, no one has escaped from the battle, but the Mongols themselves, and people have been fleeing privately from the beginning.
These Ming soldiers were all like wolves and tigers, even if they were seriously injured and bleeding, they still shouted and pounced on themselves.
Where are the sheep, it is clearly a group of tigers!
Especially in the battle group, Xiao Yi, who slashed and killed left, holding the Qi family knife, still had the bloody head of a thousand commanders hanging on his waist, like a god in the eyes of the Mongols, seeing Xiao Yi's bloody eyes scanning, no one among the Mongols who had always been unruly dared to look at him!
Without a unified rule, the Mongols finally began to crumble, and some people began to throw down their sabers and flee outside, but most of them were brought down by a volley of fiery guns, and then the roar of the Yong'an soldiers in the surrounding array was heard.
"One more step forward, shoot and kill!"
The only remaining Mongolian cavalry and the Yong'an army were separated at night, and after a fight, there were less than a hundred Mongols left in the war group, and even the commander and a few centurions were killed in the middle, and their heads hung on the waist of the Ming army on the opposite side.
The Mongols tried their best to adjust their horses, but they were still equal in number, and in the blink of an eye, a large number was missing, and in comparison, the Ming army on the opposite side was still dense, and the casualties were really negligible.
Many people heard the previous salvo, and they understood that it was no longer possible to escape, and some people were trying to control the horses, and their eyes were fixed on Xiao Yi.
As long as you can cut that general, everything still has a chance!
The sound of hurried horses' hooves sounded again, and everyone's attention was concentrated, and the Yong'an Army came back at night.
Some people want to fight to the death, and of course there are people who have a nervous breakdown and want to surrender on their knees, but in comparison, there are still many people who surrender.
"Don't kill, don't kill, we've descended, we've descended!"
Such voices came and went, they couldn't fight, they couldn't run, and the Mongols still lacked the courage to fight to the death, and surrender and rout were commonplace for them.
If you have the slightest chance to gather people to make a comeback, saving your life is the most important thing.
The night in the impact is not closed, and there are some muttering in my heart, whether I am still rushing or not?
Just thinking about it, Xiao Yi said loudly: "You surrendered and wanted to ask for a way out, but the people of the Ming Dynasty who died tragically under your sword, why shouldn't they, did you give them a way out?" ”
"Thieves can be captured, captives are not left, killed!"
The Mongols who surrendered on their knees never expected that this Ming army would not even accept surrender, but except for the Mongols who were still on the horse and ready to fight to the death, the rest of the people had no time to get on their horses, and they rushed into it without receiving.
Miserable howls and shouts of killing are intertwined.
……
Xiao Yi held the Qi family knife in his hand, looking at the battlefield, the smell of blood was still very strong, and the battlefield where the sound of killing was still loud was already quiet.
At this time, Xiao Yi felt the faint pain in his chest, and the feeling of weakness in his limbs. It should be a big win...
More than 1,200 Yong'an soldiers, more than 200 nights, more than 1,000 foot soldiers, fought with the Mongols all night, and now the next day has passed a few hours, and it is finally over.
According to incomplete statistics, the casualties of the Yong'an Army in this battle were only more than 100 people, but the Mongols completely collapsed, and all the four thousand commanders and eight centurions were killed here, and their heads were hung on the waists of the soldiers.
What is surprising is that the Mongolian light cavalry, which has always been known for its mobility ability, came to attack more than 3,000 people, but only more than 1,000 escaped, most of them still scattered and fled, and only more than 200 remained with Ezhe.
More than 1,000 foot soldiers fought against almost three times the Mongol cavalry, and the casualty ratio reached 1:10.
The Yong'an army took advantage of the geographical advantage and intelligence to limit the Mongolian cavalry to the maximum, almost every time a Yong'an army foot soldier died in battle, the Mongols had to pay several times or even more than ten times the cost of casualties, over time, how could there be a reason to be undefeated?
After this battle, the fear of the Mongols in the hearts of all the soldiers disappeared in an instant, especially the final duel, which was deeply rooted in everyone's hearts.
This duel, which took place dozens of miles south of Jiaoshan in Ulzhou, was also known as the 'dignified battle' in the future, in this battle, the Ming Dynasty did not close the night, and it was not the main force of the first-line cavalry, and it was able to defeat the Mongolian cavalry.
Since the fifteenth year of Wanli, the Ming army has rarely had such victories against the Xiyu, and the officers and soldiers have been called great victories every time they hang a few or more than a dozen ranks, and the records are not hesitant to praise and praise, and give the generals led by them a brave name.
But this time, the Yong'an army beheaded nearly 1,800 at the cost of 100 casualties, captured hundreds of horses, and defeated more than 3,000 Mongolian rangers, what kind of victory is this!
Imagine, just after the Spring Festival, there is such a great victory in the border town to the Beijing Division, what kind of repercussions will it cause?
……
After the Yong'an army cleaned up the battlefield, in addition to the loss of casualties, the gains were not small, just the Mongolian strong fast horses captured more than 600 horses, these horses can be selected into the cavalry battalion to be formed, and now the cavalry battalion is formed, for Xiao Yi, what is lacking is not horses, but people who meet the conditions.
There are more than 1,200 pairs of Mongolian light leather armor, which can become the standard armor used by the soldiers of the Zhenwei battalion with a little modification and addition.
There are also nearly 2,000 Mongolian scimitars, Mongolian scimitars are different from Ming knives, curved and sharp, suitable for slashing on horses, these scimitars can be assembled at night in the future.
In addition to these, in the follow-up cleaning, Xiao Yi also found an unexpected joy, that is, the rice grain that Wu Yuan gave to Ezhe.
The Mongols never thought that the Ming army would leave the city, let alone that they would be defeated to such a point, it was almost a one-sided result, and most people came in for fun.
He stored these rice grains not far away, only a hundred Mongolian servants guarded them, and Xiao Yi immediately ordered Wang Dayong to lead a team to rush over at night and kill these servants.
After the statistics, although the Mongols used some of it, there were still more than 1,100 stone of rice and grain left.
Compared with those other seizures, Xiao also felt happier about the acquisition of these rice grains.
This is thanks to that Wu Yuan, but I don't know where this person went, whether he died in the battle or escaped with Ezhe.
But these are not important, this field battle is not only a full return, but more importantly, it makes Xiao Yi more confident, which is a big incentive for all soldiers, and he will have more confidence to fight with the Jurchens in the future.
