"The riding skills are pretty good." Hao Ren muttered praise to the sound of the retreating Polish cavalry. As a Mongol, even in the face of the Song army, which was beyond imagination, Hao Ren still fully affirmed the riding skills of the Mongols. He believed that the Mongols had a thousand reasons for losing to the Song army, but not in horsemanship. When the Polish cavalry showed excellent horsemanship, Hao Ren was really surprised.

But a loss is a loss. The firearms troops of the Yuan State easily harvested their lives, just as the Mongolian army was ruthlessly slaughtered by the firearms of the Song army.

After admiring for a few seconds, Hao Ren ordered again, "The cavalry is dispatched." ”

The signal flag waved, and several Yuan cavalry marched out again, marching farther away on the enemy's flanks, making a posture of outflanking. In the telescope, the enemy on the opposite side looked overwhelmed. What Hao Ren needed was to keep the enemy scratching his head, and he immediately ordered, "Infantry advance!" The snare drums sounded, and the marching band, which was in the forefront, played a light march to guide the infantry toward the enemy position.

"Tsk!" Seeing the fighting style of the Yuan army with his own eyes in the front position, Commander Lauder couldn't help but be speechless. He had long guessed that the Yuan would have a special tactic, and not long after the Teutonic Knights' counterattack on the beachhead and the Yuan State yesterday, the crossbowmen were the first to collapse. The follow-up cavalry could not sustain itself with a slight impact, and could only retreat in disgrace in front of the infidels.

Looking at Fang Cai's situation, it seems that Yuan Guo used gunpowder to push and spray out the iron ball. The cavalry who had fled yesterday picked up several large iron balls, and the military doctor dug out small iron balls from the wounds of the wounded of the Teutonic Knights. Commander Lauder compared the two iron balls, and found that the texture and shape of the iron balls were the same, and they should be fired from the same type of weapon, but the caliber and size were different.

Turning the horse's head, Regiment Commander Lauder returned to the Chinese army, and briefly told the Grand Commander about the situation, and Commander Lauder decisively said, "Let's withdraw." Only God knows what the Mongols will do next. We left Warsaw and waited for God's instructions. ”

The Grand Master believed in God and knew very well that God never gave clear instructions, and what Captain Lauder said was only a parable. The Mongols crossed the river beyond the imagination of the Teutonic Knights, and even more so in combat. Looking at the regiment leaders next to them, none of them objected, and none of them agreed. At this moment, Commander Kelund spoke, "Grand Master, Warsaw is not Marienburg, and we don't need to shed blood to defend Warsaw. ”

This completely impressed the Grand Master, Warsaw was more than a thousand miles from Marienburg, and if something happened here, the already restless nobles and merchants of the Teutonic knights would inevitably make trouble. The Grand Master immediately complied with his mood, and he ordered: "I command the Poles to fight against the Mongols, and everyone is ready to retreat!" ”

Captain Lauder and Captain Kellend had already made preparations, and as soon as the Grand Master gave the order, they immediately took action. At this time, it is too late to prepare a large number of baggage trucks, and when you run away, you will bring a bag of hay at most. The two of them did not care about the situation on the battlefield, first went back and led their troops to set off from the West Gate of Warsaw, and withdrew along the road.

The scouts of the Yuan Kingdom scattered far away, and they were also startled when they suddenly saw a large group of people rushing from Sa Yazi. The number of enemies was thousands, and they didn't dare to stop them, and after watching the enemy run away from a distance, they immediately reported to Hao Ren.

Hao Ren didn't expect the enemy to react so quickly, he thought that the people of Semu were stupid and could only chant scriptures, or launch a decisive charge for the sake of the Lord like the legend. At least that's how the Yuan army, which participated in the annihilation of the Knights Hospitaller and the Templar naval fleet, described the Knights of Semu as such.

Letting the troops send flanks to guard against a sneak attack by a retreating enemy, Hao Ren continued to watch the infantry advance slowly. The musket unit drove forward with the enemy's cavalry, and behind the Polish cavalry was the troops of the Teutonic Knights, who showed the urge to run without a trace, but were never able to do so. You can only retreat slowly.

The infantry of the Yuan Kingdom continued to advance slowly and non-stop. After a while, the Polish cavalry no longer retreated, but assembled their ranks in a desperate posture. The infantry of the Yuan Kingdom immediately stopped, allowing the artillery behind to catch up. The battles of the Great Song Dynasty would place the cannons in front of the rifle troops. When the enemy is charging, let the artillery with a longer range fire quickly. The Yuan State also adopted the tactics of the Great Song Dynasty, completely unaware that the tactical system of the Great Song Dynasty had undergone earth-shaking changes at this time.

As for the Polish cavalry, they already experienced first-hand how much the war had turned upside down. It was in a decisive posture, and the Polish cavalry still did not attack. By this time, the Yuan army had advanced for more than an hour, and many of the soldiers were already out of breath, and a considerable number of the Mongolian warriors couldn't help but stomp their feet. After such a long walk, they felt very uncomfortable with their sore feet. If I walk like this for a while, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk.

The battlefield entered a temporary standoff, with big eyes glaring at each other on both sides of the flat terrain of five or six hundred meters, and no one took the lead in attacking. The situation seemed to continue endlessly, and the Polish cavalry took the lead. The horses began to trot, the flags waved, and the Polish cavalry rushed forward in formation. Not only the vanguard that took the lead to test the depth of the water, but all the Polish cavalry moved.

Tens of thousands of horses, 50,000 hooves pounding the ground. The earth shook with a rumbling roar. The artillery of the Yuan State immediately tensed their nerves, and the leaders of each artillery group stared intently at the target determined by the ranging instrument, and only the Polish cavalry could cross there and begin to fire continuously. Some team leaders are more big-hearted and touch the barrel with their hands, the warm barrel is not hot, and the highest rate of fire can be used for subsequent continuous fire.

The war horses galloped, like a river bursting its embankment, like a sea tide collapsing, and the momentum made everyone's heart beat faster in the Yuan army. The cavalry tide moved to their right, that is, to the west, and the queue was very delicately kept in a direction that was level with the Yuan infantry queue. Half an hour later, only empty ground remained in front of the Yuan infantry. The Polish cavalry rode away, broke through the small number of Teutonic cavalry in the west, and disappeared behind the woods in the field.

This uniform action made Hao Ren dumbfounded, and he had no idea what the Poles were doing. The idea of whether the Poles had fled or not did arise. But Hao Ren couldn't believe that if he escaped, this action would be too orderly. The Polish cavalry was so skilled that they showed no sign of confusion.

Knowing that the Poles had fled, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order could not even feel insulted. This was indeed the best chance of escape, as the Teutonic Knights were also preparing to evacuate Warsaw. There were simply not enough troops to oversee the battle. Yes, it would only make the Poles go to war with the Teutonic Knights, and the Yuan army next to them would take the opportunity to attack.

"The whole army retreats west!" The Grand Master decisively gave the order. The Knights did not oppose anything and obeyed the order in full. Except for the Grand Master's personal guard, who pretended to run horses on the position, in order to confuse the enemy. The other Knights began to retreat rapidly.

The Yuan army really didn't know what the hell was going on on the other side, so Hao Ren simply let the infantry rest temporarily and wait for the cavalry in the distance to bring back news. A little more than an hour later, the cavalry brought news. The color cavalry of the brigade did not outflank the Yuan troops, but really ran away. Even if they are playing the trick of outflanking, the circle is too big. According to the experience of war, a horse can travel 100 miles in a day. According to the experience of the Yuan Kingdom, the distance of the possible large encirclement is 100 li. When the Semu soldiers returned, their horses would only be exhausted and completely incapacitated.

This is the first time the generals have encountered such an enemy, and there is no precedent to compare with it. After some discussion, the generals all felt that they should continue the attack on Warsaw. Warsaw was the most important stronghold on the Vistula River, and after the capture of Warsaw, the Yuan State could face all enemies in the west with its back to the Vistula River.

Hao Ren took the advice of the crowd and ordered the musketeers to move on. As soon as the Yuan army advanced, the troops of the Teutonic Knights began to retreat. Seeing the enemy's movements with their own eyes, there is no need for encouragement, and the soldiers already know that the fruits of victory are in front of them.

In the evening, only more than 10,000 enemy troops were trapped in the city of Warsaw. In the light of being able to read, the Yuan army launched a final onslaught on the city of Warsaw. The flames from the muzzles of the guns stood out in the dim light, and the men of color who threw stones and other objects down from the top of the city seemed dim and small, and in the light and smoke of the flames, the resistance disappeared.

As soon as the Yuan army blew open the city gates, fires were lit everywhere in the city of Warsaw. Some of the members of the Teutonic Order who set fire to the Warsaw Grand Duke house resisted, and some ran into the cathedral of the Diocese of Warsaw to resist. Others took off their armor and jumped into the Vistula River next to Warsaw City, trying to swim to the east bank.

Warsaw is a city full of wooden houses, and fires are difficult to extinguish. The firelight reflected the sky red, and even the Yuan army thirty or forty miles away was clearly visible. The fire burned all night and was gradually extinguished by noon the next day due to lack of fuel. The once bustling city of Warsaw remains in ruins. Enraged, Hao Ren ordered the execution of all the Teutonic Knights he caught.

Even after this order was given, Hao Ren was still angry, and his face was still full of murder when he held the meeting. If Warsaw could be taken in its entirety, the Yuan State could prepare for a pursuit here and order the Polish nobles to come and submit. Warsaw was burned to the ground, and the appeal of the Yuan army was immediately greatly affected.

"The king? Shall we go back to the East? The general asked very carefully.
