Chapter 136: Are You Still Qualified?

Huang Dequan led a thousand Praetorian cavalry, with their horses' hooves wrapped in cotton cloth, made a detour across the Angu River, and quietly moved to the west side of the Mongol camp. Fearing that the Mongols would notice, he dismounted when he was three miles away from the camp, led the horses and quietly touched the camp. More than half a mile from the camp, the cavalrymen lit the torches they carried, mounted their horses, and began to gallop towards the camp.

The shepherd dogs in the Mongolian camp barked violently, and the whole camp was awakened, but it was too late. The Praetorian cavalry easily climbed over the low fence and smashed into the camp.

Throwing a torch soaked in vegetable oil onto the haystack and onto the yurt immediately ignited a raging fire.

The Praetorian Guards rode in groups of thirty or fifty, roaring and galloping between the yurts, igniting one yurt after another.

Mongolian herders howled out of their yurts, only to be greeted by sharp sabers.

This time, the cavalry of the Ming army gave up the usual three-eyed firearms, and everyone held a narrow saber, and with the speed of the war horse, the saber swept lightly, and some herdsmen screamed and fell to the ground.

It was at dawn when there was a sudden attack, and the Mongolian herders did not have time to react.

Some Mongolian herdsmen dressed in thin clothes, hurriedly came out of the yurt, ran towards the stable, did not have time to saddle the horses, rushed out on bare horses, and killed the Ming cavalry. The two sides rushed past, and the Mongol herdsmen screamed and fell off their horses, while the Praetorian cavalry remained unharmed.

The Praetorian Cavalry was naturally inferior to the Mongolian herdsmen in terms of horsemanship, but they had saddles and stirrups, and they were wearing thick armor, which was enough to resist the slashing of the swords, and their combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the Mongols who were naked on horses.

Attacking the unprepared with intention, attacking the disorderly with order, the battle was already a foregone conclusion from the beginning.

And it was not only these 1,000 cavalry who attacked the camp, but the infantry of the Ming army also quickly crossed the Angu River and attacked the Mongolian camp.

The outskirts of the Mongol camp were just a low fence, and there was no defense at all. Hong Chengchou commanded the Ming infantry to enter the camp from three directions and strangle the Mongol soldiers.

In the city of Xinghe, Qaraqin Khan initially wanted to gather troops and carry out a counterattack.

Most of the people living in Xinghe City were Mongolian nobles and their guards, after all, it was much more comfortable to live in a house than in a yurt. There are about 1,000 troops in the entire Xinghe City, most of whom are the personal guards of the Qaraqin Khan.

However, it was when he was sleeping soundly, he put on his clothes and armor, found swords and arrows, and then found his horses, and it took a lot of time, and by the time the Qaraqin Khan had assembled his troops, he had already missed the opportunity to attack.

When the Praetorian cavalry had just attacked the camp, if they could fight back, the other Mongol soldiers would take the opportunity to assemble, and it was very likely that the Ming army would be driven out of the camp.

However, now, the whole camp is lit with countless fires, many yurts are ignited, herdsmen men, women and children are crying and howling, and the Ming cavalry is rushing back and forth, the whole camp is already in chaos, and it is impossible to gather the herdsmen army outside the city.

More importantly, the infantry brigade of the Ming army has already been killed, and in the face of the organized infantry, these more than 1,000 cavalry are of no use at all......

"Great Khan, fight with them!" Some Mongolian soldiers shouted angrily.

"Yes, fight with them!"

How can many of the guards' family members endure the slaughter of the Ming army, who are in camp outside the city?

Karaqin Khan gasped violently, his heart full of anger.

Damn the Ming Dynasty dog official, he didn't believe what he said! Obviously said that he would accept the annexation of the Karaqin Department, and he had already promised to set up a guard in Xinghe City, but he still attacked at night!

No, the Ming Dynasty dog officials did not intend to accept the Karaqin tribe from the beginning, and they planned to destroy the Karaqin tribe from the beginning!

Fight with Ming Dog! The words swirled around Karaqin Khan's mouth, but finally did not spurt out. Because he clearly knows that the current trend has passed, and these thousand cavalry joining the battlefield will not change anything, just lose their lives in vain.

When the Ming army captures the camp, it will inevitably attack Xinghe City. There are only more than 1,000 troops in Xinghe City, and they will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the Ming army!

"Out of the city, to Uliangha." Karaqin Khan closed his eyes and said bitterly.

"Great Khan!" The subordinate exclaimed. At this time, they did not go to the rescue camp and had to abandon the city and flee, which was unacceptable to them at all.

"The Ming army is prepared, the camp is no longer saved, and the Karaqin Department is finished." Karaqin Khan said in deep sorrow.

"We can't send us to death anymore, we should preserve our vitality and rebuild the Karaqin Ministry."

His soldiers fell silent.

Karaqin Khan did not speak any more, but mounted his horse and took the lead out of the city, heading northeast.

The cold wind was howling, the horses were galloping, and they were getting farther and farther away from the burning Xinghe City.

The night gradually faded, the sky became brighter and brighter, and when the sky was bright, about fifty or sixty miles had been galloped, Karaqin Khan finally restrained the war horse, and when he looked back, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, and saw that there were less than 100 horsemen following behind, and the other guards had disappeared.

When the wolf king of the pack grows old and cowardly, it is the time to lose his authority. Karaqin Khan did not dare to meet the Ming army, abandoned his people and fled, even his personal guards did not want to follow him.

Karaqin Khan sat on the ground, silently drinking mare's milk wine, and his heart was desolate.

A few guards rode around the prairie, shot a few wild badgers, dragged them back, and built a bonfire to roast them.

The meat was not yet cooked, and suddenly a guard lay on the ground, listening intently.

"Great Khan, there is a large cavalry rushing ahead." The guard exclaimed.

"Get on board!" Karaqin Khan was shocked and hurriedly threw away the mare's milk wine.

As soon as a group of people got on their horses, they saw countless knights appearing in the distance, rushing from all directions.

"Chahar Ministry!" Karaqin Khan suddenly despaired.

"What about the Great Khan?" His guards shouted in alarm.

Karaqin Khan smiled bitterly, and was discovered by the cavalry of the Chahar brigade, but he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

"Dismount and surrender. For the sake of the descendants of the blue wolf and white deer, Lin Dan Khan can spare our lives. Karaqin Khan sighed.

The Chahar cavalry galloped in and surrounded dozens of Karaqin cavalry regiments.

A moment later, Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar tribe rode his horse and stood in front of the Qaraqin Khan.

"Karaqin Khan, are you hunting here with dozens of them?" Lin Dan Khan said with a smile.

Karaqin Khan sighed and bowed to the ground: "Noble Lin Dan Khan, my Karaqin tribe has been attacked by despicable Ming people, the camp has fallen, and Xinghe City has been lost. Lin Dan Khan, from now on, I, the Karaqin Tribe, am willing to submit to the Chahar Department and become your slave of the Great Khan, and I also ask the Great Khan to send troops to rescue my people from the Ming people. ”

Lin Dan Khan's face suddenly changed greatly, he led the army here to attack and annex the Karaqin Department, but he didn't expect to be occupied by the Ming army.

"Are you still qualified to be my slave?" Lin Dan Khan sneered, pulled out his saber with his backhand, and the cold light flashed, and Karaqin Khan's head rolled to the ground.
