Everyone has their own thoughts, and whether there is an estrangement is hidden in their hearts, but for the little emperor of Shunzhi and all those who escaped, the most important thing is to be safe for the time being.

The most important figures of the Qing court were escorted to continue their escape to Shengjing, while the Mongol cavalry stayed, and they had to wait for the arrival of the Ming army, because the scouts had already arrived and the Ming cavalry was about to arrive.

Sun Dayong and Yan Bingtai cleaned up the remnants of Aobai's army, which could be described as neatly packed, and after a little rest, they got in touch with Zhou Huchen, and then the pursuit began again.

The terrain ahead was somewhat undulating, and the altitude was getting higher and higher, but it had almost no effect on these soldiers who had undergone various trainings, and the altitude of the paddock plateau was not too high, and the physical condition of these soldiers did not suffer from any altitude sickness.

The fertile land was uninhabited, and when the scouts of the Ming army crossed an emerald mountain bag, the Mongols appeared.

The scouts of the Ming army were very brave, they began to provoke first, and without hesitation, they rushed down the mountain bag with shouts.

The Mongols are a people of horses, and they are proud to gallop on horseback, and they have always been very enthusiastic about the game of scouts, which is similar to a dancer showing off his dancing posture, so it is highly valued by the steppe peoples.

This is the advantage of the home field, and the always cowardly Ming people dare to play this kind of game, this kind of behavior undoubtedly angered the people of Changshengtian, in order not to bully the less, dozens of Mongolian cavalry with braided hair did not show weakness to meet them.

There are rules among the rangers, and it is also a stage for warriors to perform, and at the same time to show their military might.

It's a pity that these Ming cavalry scouts are all disciples of Zhou Huchen, they never abide by those rigid so-called rules, in their eyes only killing people is in line with their own concept of survival, in his concept, the dead enemy is the least threatening enemy, and it is their duty to kill the enemy at the least cost.

The Mongol rangers who rushed over had never seen such a game without the use of bows and arrows, although their shots were not accurate. The threat is limited, but after all, it can also bring damage to the enemy, and the Ming army's direct and brutal attack is not in line with the rules.

The Ming army did not pay attention to the rules, the Mongols paid attention to it, and these brave cavalrymen took off their war bows behind their backs as they galloped.

The Mongols respected tradition, as evidenced by the short bow used for horseback riding, and they have been using the reverse curved bow, or compound short bow, which has been used for hundreds of years since it was introduced to the Mongols. The compound short bow is relatively short, and the liliang is not too strong. But it also has its characteristics, the rate of fire is very fast, the shooting at close range is extremely accurate, it is very suitable for firing the bow and arrows on the horse, it is one of the favorite weapons of the Mongols, and the other weapon is the scimitar, the Mongolian saber.

Of course, it is an irrefutable truth that if you are backward, you will be beaten, when the distance between the two scouts reaches more than forty steps. The Ming scouts had already raised their arms.

Before these immortal people could shoot the sharp arrows in their hands, in their amazement, the fire bell rang out.

Lack of precision, but lethality is not in question. The consequences of being hit are even more severe, as these scouts use carbines, and armor shells can pierce through more than three layers of heavy armor at this distance. These poor herdsmen wore only a leather robe, and in order to show their bravery. Many of the Mongol warriors simply stripped off their leather robes, shirtless, with their heads held high, looking for their targets.

It was a bloody lesson. And a lot of blood was to be shed, because the Ming scouts who put away their pistols didn't seem to be finished, and as soon as they stretched out their hands, they took out short firearms

These Mongols, who had not been in contact with Zhou Huchen's cavalry, did not understand the firecracker, and certainly did not understand this method of combat, but they knew the consequences of falling off their horses, and no matter how brave the warriors were, they would not be sent to death in vain.

The scout's battle was short and simple, but this shortness and simplicity made the Mongol nobles who were watching from a high place finally understand that the defeat of the Qing Dynasty would be so miserable.

These Ming troops are not the previous Ming army, and the Ming cavalry is not the previous Ming cavalry, this is a qualitative change, a new way of fighting, and this way of fighting seems to be very suitable for fighting in the vast grassland, which is difficult to crack.

The scouts of the Ming army were still running around without stopping, and the cavalry brigade of the Ming army was also dispatched.

Badali and Manzhu Xili are the highest ranks, and they are also the leaders of these Mongolian cavalry, and the two look at each other, to fight or not to fight?

Manzhu Xili and Jianzhou people went the closest, he was a relative of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, this moment can not hesitate, he decisively put forward his own suggestions: "Great Khan, we are the people of the long body, how can we allow the Ming people to herd horses in their own territory, and the army is superior, so they can fight." ”

"We still have depth, so it's better to send a few thousand people to find out the reality of the Ming army."

The defeat of the Qing court showed that the Ming army should be very strong, and he did not know the tactics of the Ming army, and in this vast mountain and steppe, the Ming army could not be more adapted than the Mongols. The Ming army has always relied on supply to maintain combat effectiveness, and the vast grasslands and mountains are difficult to supply, and increasing the number of troops is also the best way.

"Then how about letting the King of Esen fight?" After all, Badali is the nominal Great Khan, and Manzhu Xili must respect Badali's opinion, and the king of Zasak Esen of the left-wing front banner is the eldest brother of Azig, so there are political considerations for him to fight, that is, it is appropriate for Esen to fight first in this situation.

"What the king of Doromantulu said is extremely true, it is very suitable for the king of Esen to fight, and it is good to find out the truth of the Ming army."

This is similar to the agreement to go to war, and the Mongols are divided into tribes, because each banner is his own liliang, the foundation of his own rule. The Mongols had to think about themselves, for their own survival. Of course, Esen has to think about his own survival, he is not willing to be a pioneer, but he can't help if he doesn't become a pioneer. The orders of the Great Han must be carried out, otherwise they will be severely punished.

In order not to be punished, with full reluctance, Esen led his more than 4,000 cavalry to rush out of the brigade.

"Light Cavalry Tactics!"

The light cavalry tactics mentioned by Esen is a mobile attack, that is, a battle that does not meet the Ming army, which is also the best way of fighting for the Mongols. Esen is not stupid, he probably knows the combat methods and strength of the Ming cavalry, and he is far from being an opponent, because some of his bannermen accompanied the Qing army into the customs, which also gave Esen a basic understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

The Ming army came quickly and numerously, and at the same time that Esen was preparing for light cavalry tactics, the Ming army that rushed up showed him a desperate tactic.

Different environments, different enemies have different tactics. It's easy to say, but it's hard to apply, because the situation on the battlefield is always changing. Sun Dayong is not a wise general, he does not have much wisdom in his mind, but he has many advantages, such as never being afraid of battle, and always following orders. Sun Dayong believes in one truth; Zhou Huchen's command is the strongest, and he can solve everything as long as he follows Zhou Huchen's orders to carry them out. (To be continued......)
