Chapter 1211: The Tragedy of the Tatar Prince
When the Ming army appeared, the Tatars were all stunned......
"Resist it, don't let them attack it halfway!" Nirvana, who was the first to react, shouted loudly. The Tatars also know from top www.biquge.info bottom that once the Ming army breaks through the front army, the army will be completely finished! The situation was extremely urgent, and the Tatars finally burst out with the courage hidden in their blood, regardless of dignity or inferiority, they mounted their horses one after another, and followed the Nirvana to meet the enemy!
But at this moment, the condition of the Tatars was so bad that the army marched at great intensity for a day and night, and the people were extremely sleepy and tired, and many people were lying in the grass, snoring like thunder, and no matter how loud the movement was, they could not be aroused. The awake people are not having a good time, the whole body is still weak, the key is to keep running for their lives, not regrouping, like a headless fly huddled together, suddenly found that the enemy is coming, the soldiers can't find the generals, the generals can't find the soldiers, not to mention, even the weapons and horses can't be found!
As a result, 20,000 Tatars had already crossed the river, and in a hurry, only more than 1,000 people found war horses and weapons, and followed the Nengan and the nobles to meet the enemy.
Of course, the 19,000 people may not just be because they can't find war horses and weapons, but they simply don't want to die......
The Ming army killed in a blink of an eye, and the Mongolian soldiers of the four guard battalions have stretched their bows and arrows on horseback, they grew up on horseback, and they have been skilled in bowing and horses since childhood, and the Han cavalry can't catch up with the horses. But the Han cavalry was equipped with crossbows, and there were muskets that had been specially modified for cavalry!
As soon as they entered the firing range, the Ming army fired bows and crossbows in unison, and muskets roared! Fierce fire poured down, and the Tatars fell to the ground like a stubble of grass destroyed by the wind!
The Tatars were all stunned, they had never seen such a terrifying lethality, seeing more than 1,000 people rushing in front of them, more than half of them were lost at once, people turned on their backs, and the dead and wounded were everywhere......
Immediately afterwards, the Ming army attacked again, once again with bows and crossbows fired in unison, and muskets roared, this time the distance between the two armies was closer, and the damage was naturally greater! The remaining five or six hundred people were all settled......
Lost Nirgan and those Tatar nobles suddenly found themselves on the front line, and in front of them was the Ming army approaching within dozens of steps!
When the Ming army raised the musket and crossbow again, the Tatars were full of souls, and that bit of blood and courage instantly evaporated with cold sweat, and there was only one word left in their minds - escape!
"Can't be returned!" Wielding his sword, he shouted anxiously, "The army behind is crossing the river!" ”
However, there was no use for eggs, the Tatars became headless flies up and down, whether it was the noble noble lord or the ordinary Tatar soldiers, they all swarmed on their horses and fled backwards, and no one paid any attention to him!
Lost Nirgan looked desperately at the Ming army that rushed to the front, waiting to be shot by their muskets, but the Ming army did not shoot the bow and arrow again, but picked up the long knife of chopping horses!
At that moment, a trace of realization rose in the heart of the Lost Nirvana, and the Ming army seemed to be able to shoot only two rounds, that is to say, just now, it was a bluff at all......
It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now, he glanced at his own soldiers who were unable to form an army, and then looked back at the Ming army that swept over, knowing that the general trend had gone and the gods could not be saved. Nirvana swallowed hard and spitted hard, and quickly devoted all his thoughts to escaping for his life......
As the Loser said, the Tatar army could not retreat, because half a mile behind them was the Tarbu River, and the river was full of carp-like men and horses crossing the river.
The Ming army has entered the Tatar formation, wielding a horse chopping sword, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the Tatars! The vast majority of Tatars were hacked to death with their backs to the Ming army, and it was easier for the Ming army to kill than to chop melons and vegetables! There are even some people who are very sleepy, and when they hear the sound of war, they think they are dreaming, and they are trampled by the horse's hooves in a daze, and when they are in a daze, their intestines are rotten, their brains burst, and they die very badly......
The encirclement of the Ming army was shrinking smaller and smaller, and the Tatars were constantly squeezed and had no place to stand by the river. There are also Tatars who try to organize and desperately want to break through to both sides of the river, but this section of less than half a mile of the riverbank is surrounded by three layers in the Ming army, three layers outside, and three layers in the middle. All of them were wiped out on the spot by the Ming army, and none of them could escape!
Seeing this, the remaining Tatars had no choice but to jump into the river...... The Tatars were hardly accustomed to water, and those on horseback were better, but most of the Tatars, in confusion, did not catch their horses at all, fled to the river on their legs, and were driven into the rushing river......
Stirred by the cold water, the Tatars who had been killed and fainted suddenly realized that they couldn't swim at all! Hurry up and use your hands and feet together to flutter on the water!
There have never been so many landlubbers fluttering together in the Tarbes, but if you flutter a few times, you can learn to swim, and no one will drown...... Countless Tatars fluttered a few times, then sank into the water and disappeared. There are also some lucky ones who grabbed those compatriots on horseback, and when they landed, they were like grasping at a life-saving straw, and they did not let go.
Mongolian horses are generally watery, the river is turbulent, carrying a person across the river is still thrilling, being pulled back by the people in the water, it can't be supported when boarding, and the horse's body sinks into the water. The man on the horse was frightened and hurriedly roared to let the people in the water go, and where would the people in the water listen? No matter how hard they are punching and kicking, they will slow down the other party, and it doesn't matter if they are slow, more and more hands will grab them and pull them into the water together......
Such scenes can be seen everywhere on the river, and the result of you pulling me is that no one should think of crossing the river, and the Tatar army has already crowded the river like dumplings, but few can escape from the shore......
At this time, the Tatars on the north bank of the river were basically wiped out, and the remaining small remnants were also divided and surrounded, and it was only a matter of time before they were all wiped out. The main force of the Ming army was near the river, and when they saw the dense Tatars on the wide river, they were a little stupid for a while, none of them had ever seen such a scene......
It was the Mongolian soldiers of the Fourth Guard Battalion who simply came, and did not hesitate to take out their bows and arrows and shoot the Tatars in the river. Contrary to popular belief, it was not the Han soldiers who hated the Tatars the most, but the Mongols who came from the steppe.
This is actually very easy to understand, most of the Han soldiers were born in the last years of Hongwu or even the early years of Yongle, as soon as they were born the Han army was at its peak, sweeping the era of the Eight Wilderness, in their impression, the Mongols have always been the defeated generals of the Ming Dynasty, these robbers are hateful, but far more than hatred.
Most of the Mongols in the Four Guards Battalion were forced to leave their homeland and the steppe by the Tatars and Warats. The Tatars are stained with the blood of their people, and they are dreaming of the day when they will return from the counterattack, and they are eager to break the bones and eat meat of the Tatars, how can they let go of this great opportunity for revenge at this moment!
"What are you doing, you idiots!" Liu Sheng caught up and saw that only the Mongolian officers and soldiers were shooting the Tatars in the river, but the soldiers of the Han family were watching there like geese, so angry that the Marquis of An Yuan jumped like thunder, waved his horsewhip and whipped those officers and soldiers, and roared: "Three years ago, these Tatars were by the Tru River, but they didn't put down the butcher's knife because our Ming army jumped into the river!" ”
The Han soldiers woke up from a dream, quickly wound their crossbows, charged their muskets, and shot at the river. The helpless struggle of the Tatars in the Tarbes River, most of them with their backs to the Ming army, and densely packed, all of them were people, and it was not difficult to shoot, where was it still a battle, it was just an incomparably light, bloody massacre......
There were also Tatars who knew that there was no way to escape, turned their heads and looked at the Ming army pleadingly, and shouted to them for mercy.
But the slaughter had already begun, and no one could stop it, as the Ming army's arrows and projectiles rained down, screaming and shaking the sky on the river, and the blood had already dyed the river a dark red that was almost blackened......
Marquis An Yuan was even more angry, and continued to jerk his soldiers, scolding: "Fools, shoot those who are about to go ashore!" ”
When the Ming soldiers heard the order, they quickly raised their guns and aimed at the Tatars who were about to reach the opposite bank. The Tarbu River is nearly 100 paces wide in this season, which is exactly the range of the muskets and bows of the Ming army!
The lucky Tatars had already reached the riverbank. And on the riverbank, the anxious faces of compatriots and soldiers, and outstretched hands......
Just go a little further and you can escape from Ascension!
Who knew that before they had time to be happy, the Ming army's bullets and bullets suddenly gathered, and the soldiers who were about to go ashore were shot and arrowed one after another, and almost no one was spared......
The Tatars on the south bank who were ready to meet were also suffered, many of them were injured by the rain of arrows of the Ming army, screaming and falling into the river, and the rest were so frightened that they quickly retreated beyond the range of the Ming army, and could no longer care about their comrades in the river......
The Tatars in the river have really reached a desperate situation where there is no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth. The opposite bank has been blocked by the fire belt of the Ming army, and when you turn back, the butcher's knife of the Ming army is waiting. Drifting along the river is a dead end -- the reason why the Ming army can conclude that Arutai will cross the river here is because it is the widest water surface and the slowest and shallowest water flow within dozens of miles in the vicinity. In the past, the river narrowed so dramatically that the current doubled and doubled in depth, and everyone drowned.
The massacre lasted two hours before the Ming army slaughtered the Tatars in the river. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Abu Zhianbu, on the south bank of the river, fled east along the river with his army that had not yet crossed the river in the middle of the massacre.
In this battle, the Ming army was 40,000 against 40,000, and only less than 100 people were killed or wounded, and it annihilated 20,000 Tatar elite cavalry, which was known as the 'Great Victory on the Tabu River'. In the same way, a tooth for a tooth was avenged by the Tru River!
The tragedy of the Tatars is far from over...... (To be continued.) )
