Chapter 437: Defeat and Minfu troops
Since ancient times, unless the kind of army that is elite and has faith can maintain a certain structure when the army is defeated, but this army is definitely not included in the Mongolian cavalry in this period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they are not even elite, at best a group of rabble on horseback.

"Taiji, Hari Chagai is a spy of the Qin army, he has betrayed us, Taiji go quickly~!" The remaining Mongolian nobles crowded around Halbara saw that the more than 2,000 cavalry on the front line had infighting, and the cavalry loyal to the Han Department had been completely defeated, and the cavalry of the Qin army that roared and rushed was less than 200 paces away, so everyone panicked.
"Withdraw~!" Harbara was half knocked back by the sudden betrayal of his commander Hari Chagai, he actually had three hundred elite Mongolian guards by his side, if he was willing to invest in this Mongolian cavalry rare heavy cavalry, he may not be able to defeat the incoming Qin cavalry, but he has lost the belief in victory, can only passively listen to the persuasion of these thousand commanders under his command, and then quickly turn around the head of the horse and escape.
"The Qin army is coming~ Taiji is also running~ Everyone run~!"
"Run~!"
With the first flight of Halbara, the remaining Mongol army suddenly began to appear like an avalanche of chain reactions, after all, people's hearts are made of meat, they just began to be forcibly driven by the generals, and reluctantly began to assemble and prepare for a counterattack, that is because not only the army is a collective must obey, but also because there are their own 2,000 cavalry in front to buy them time, they are a full six or seven thousand people, there is an absolute certainty of victory.
But now, the defeat is like a mountain, and even the top general has fled with his personal guards, so is there any need for them to continue to fight? Those who stay are waiting for death, they are not stupid, and those who can survive on the battlefield, which one doesn't need a good brain? Silly, I was fooled into sending him to death at the beginning.
"Chase me~! The Mongols ran away, kill it~! Even Zhao Pu, who was chasing in the rear, didn't expect that everything was happening as if he was in a dream, he took 800 soldiers to catch up first, just to defeat the main force of the Mongol Tatars, and it was best to disrupt their formation, and his decision was to exchange the lives of his 800 people for the absolute superiority of the entire battlefield.
Of course, it is also one of his ideas to compete for the greatest credit for his brigade, this person lives in the world, it is inevitable to have a little pursuit, a manly husband, fame and fame are free to take immediately, if you don't desperately want to get ahead, then you have to have a good skin and a good family background, he was born poor and was valued by Li Jing, and was promoted to the commander of a battalion in just a few months, and the credit was naturally not said, but there was inevitably gossip in the army, and he had to use the credit of the sky to wash it all up.
For the great cause of King Qin, the soldiers and horses who sacrificed on this road have been countless so far, the only purpose of their lives is to seize the entire country under the leadership of King Qin, and then take their own families and clans to live a good life together, and they can still eat food and salary after dividing the fields, this kind of good thing, I couldn't even think of it before!
"Lord Commander, all directions are pursuing, and the people are all carrying their shoulders." When Zheng Jianjun rushed from the camp to the big tent of the Chinese army with his men and horses, he happened to meet a captain of the fifth battalion who was beckoning the people to go into battle to pursue, and he was immediately happy, "This battle is inexplicable, why did you suddenly win it?" ”
"I don't know." Where does the lieutenant understand this, he originally thought that he was preparing to fill the earthen wall defense as a reserve, but it turned out to be good, an enemy ended the battle before he was killed, and now he just wants to quickly catch up with his own people and cut off the heads of a few Mongolian Tartars, otherwise he will go, and the soldiers under his command may not know how to complain about his incompetence.
"Okay, don't delay your meritorious service, hurry up and take yours, and ride the mules and bad horses we brought to pursue you." As the chief military officer of a town, Zheng Jianjun of course has to serve a bowl of water, which he forcibly stayed to prepare to fill the hole at a critical time, and now that the overall situation has been decided, they are wronged, so they have to give them some benefits, otherwise after the change, their reputation will not spread well.
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief." The lieutenant was suddenly overjoyed, and the team that complained just now suddenly burst out with a strong will to fight, and the whole people, plus those who were agitated, a thousand people swarmed directly to the west, but they were not scattered, but to grab people's heads.
"After winning this battle, there will be no more strength in the north that can stop our advance, and the Ming Dynasty seems to be coming to an end all of a sudden," Zheng Jianjun pondered for a moment, and suddenly showed a smiling face, "Long face, this battle was personally commanded by me." ”
……
Zheng Jianjun's words were not wrong at all, this battle was almost the last head-on battle of the Qin army in the north, from the four directions surrounded by the whole eighteen battalions of more than 30,000 soldiers, and then launched a crazy pursuit for two days and one night, because Halbara led the army to the north, it crashed into the arms of a battalion of the cavalry brigade led by Wang Guzong himself, and after receiving reinforcements from Chen Mingquan himself, the two sides started a big battle on the northern front, but this time the number was inferior to the Mongolian army.
Because in the afternoon battle, their organization has been completely disrupted, and in the back are Wu Guangnian's entire cavalry brigade, and a town and two battalions of Zheng Jianjun of the Tiger Wing Army with more than 10,000 people.
"Look, two war horses, a human head, were killed and robbed by our brothers themselves, but there is also a Mongolian Tartar with a bow and arrow against us, so we don't dare to go up and let him run away, do you want this?" After nightfall, many of the Qin army's formations were also disrupted, but fortunately, they belonged to the pursuing side, and there were intercepting troops in front, so there was no need to worry about safety.
One of the two people was holding a spear, the other was holding a flat pole, and a Mongolian Tartar scimitar was accompanied by a waist on his waist, and one person and one horse walked back with such a big grin, anyway, they were not worried about the Qin army snatching the spoils of their lives, after all, there were their own families everywhere around here, even if there were really a few extremely vicious, then they had to have this opportunity.
"Okay, big bull and two cows, you two brothers have the courage to kill people." A platoon of men and horses of the Qin army who were pursuing here and preparing to camp looked at them enviously, but one of the infantry platoons immediately came up when they heard this,
"What's that saying?"
"We don't join the army, we can't finish the work in the field, you will fight, and the head will be given to you, but you have to give some money, right?" Liu Daniu is not stupid, these two good horses, if they are changed in the mainland, they will have to be sold for at least 30 taels, and he has heard that the head of a Mongolian Tartar can be worth five taels of silver, which is a sky-high price.
"That's fine! Anyway, it's useless for you to take these things, but now we don't have any money on hand, so let's do it, you two, I will send someone to follow you back to the camp, find the quartermaster of our battalion, and when the time comes, I will open a note for you, and you can just take the note back to the Yamen of the Datong garrison to receive the money. "This row is thinking, anyway, this credit should not be in vain,
However, he did not dare to be greedy for ink without authorization, after all, the Qin army had the law first, if the local people could resist foreign enemies, kill people without guilt, and all the seizures belonged to their own families, no military and local officials were allowed to touch them, and even had to be rewarded, which was of course to provoke the local people's hatred of foreign forces and their enthusiasm for protest.
"How much can we get?" Liu Daniu was stunned, and he still wanted to go to the camp to fight horses? He also wanted to take this opportunity to kill two more Tartars.
"These two war horses, it is estimated that they can be regarded as a first-class war horse, it is not good, it can be worth 50 taels of silver, counting your head 5 taels, that is, 55 taels, so much, you don't want that scimitar, we don't want this, as for how much it is, you can find the one who can be the master of the big camp to settle the account." The platoon was thinking for a while, even these two people can cut off their heads, so why don't they hurry up and catch up?
So with a wave of his hand, he began to greet the soldiers who were preparing to rest in place, "You lack morality, you are asking you to go faster, now we have cut down three heads in total, and only grabbed one war horse, you can see for yourself, the two people are stronger than us, get up for me, and chase north." ”
Those soldiers are also red-eyed, they only have one or two silver a month as soldiers, and they see that the two ordinary people have suddenly earned money that they can't even earn back in their lifetime, and they can't get it back if they die in battle, they can take such a point, can they not be excited, so they don't need to be urged by the officials, they just got up one by one and continued to chase north.
And Da Niu Er Niu was led by the soldiers in a platoon, and walked back, ready to go to the big camp to hand over the credit.
"Why are there so many people? How unlucky am I? I didn't get any credit for it. When they arrived at the camp, the little soldier wondered, and the people who came and went were all people who lit the torch and prepared for the battle or took a note and laughed and walked back, anyway, there were no less than a hundred war horses.
"Don't mess around, come one by one, there are all of them, our Qin army will do things fairly, and we will definitely not be greedy for your penny." It would be considered a miserable job to have a cavalry that was left behind to collect the camp, but fortunately, even if they did not go to the front line, they would have merit, after all, it is impossible for a unit to let all the people take the battle merits, otherwise who will defend the back road?
