This sneak attack operation can be said to be the end of the destruction of the ancient era, the five thousand cavalry of the Golden Horde did not have time to make any resistance, a small half of them were killed by the Ming army, and the rest became prisoners.

Zhu Gui looked at the old and weak Mongolian women and children kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but feel some emotion in his heart.

He thought that this battle would be very difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

The shouting and killing around was not over, but it was the sound of the Ming army taking prisoners.

Xu Yingxu walked over with a few subordinates, and his face could not hide his excitement and tiredness.

"Lord Wang, we won a complete victory in this battle, capturing more than 3,000 Mongolian cavalrymen, more than 2,000 war horses, and more than 10,000 women and children."

Zhu Gui nodded: "Prepare to resist the counterattack of the Mongols." ”

Xu Yingxu was stunned when he heard it: "No, shouldn't we evacuate?" The Mongols on the Datong side should have heard that something was going on in their rear. ”

"Withdraw? If we withdraw now, even if we add the Mongols' war horses, only half of them will leave, and what will happen to the rest? ”

Zhu Gui asked with a smile.

"But we only have more than 6,000 people here, how can the improvised defense means resist 30,000 Mongolian cavalry?"

Xu Yingxu looked shocked, the battle plan they had envisioned at the beginning was not like this.

According to the original plan, they were going to attack multiple Mongol tribes all the way north, so that the Mongols fighting in Datong Province could not take care of each other, and finally they could relieve the siege of Datong Province.

Unexpectedly, now Zhu Gui temporarily changed his plan.

Once the occupation changed, he could not afford to lose half of the garrison of the guard, let alone another vassal king.

Zhu Gui looked at the Mongolian who was kneeling on the ground and said, "This king has already decided, General Xu should go down and prepare." ”

Xu Yingxu's expression changed uncertainly, but in the end, he could only obey the order.

However, although this Golden Horde was the largest tribe of the Mongols, it was surrounded only by some wooden fences, which were still set up to prevent horses and raising, and could not resist the cavalry at all.

It can be said that this is an undefended land, and it can be regarded as the most advantageous battlefield for cavalry and infantry.

What Xu Yingxu could do was to start digging pits around him, so that he could stop the cavalry a little.

But against the Mongol archers, he had nothing to do.

Xu Yingxu had his soldiers drive the Mongol captives and start digging various tunnels.

And Zhu Gui gathered all the soldiers of the royal palace.

Now there were less than eighty of them, but the fierceness on their faces was far greater than before.

"This king is very satisfied with your performance during this time, you are all warriors of the Ming Dynasty."

The eyes of these soldiers burst with essence, and their expressions became more and more excited.

"There is still a fierce battle ahead, and there will be 30,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, including archers, attacking us, are you afraid?"

Zhu Gui asked.

The crowd was silent for a second, then shouted together in sonorous voices.

"Kill!"

The surrounding guards all looked over in surprise.

Obviously, there was a team of less than 100 people, but the momentum that erupted made them feel as if they were facing thousands of troops.

"Very well, you and this king join hands to fight the enemy, after this battle, your name should be crowned in the annals of history."

These salt sellers-turned-government soldiers didn't know what it meant to be 'out of the annals'.

But during this time, their treatment in the Acting Palace's palace has made them completely forget their past identity.

Zhu Gui looked at the subordinates in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

He had originally cultivated them as the backbone of the prince's guard, but he didn't know how many of them would survive after this battle.

Until this moment, he knew that he couldn't stay any longer, and he could keep the next one.

So he opened the system store and directly used all the points to fully arm these government soldiers.

No one had two pistols, two flintlock pistols, plus body armor.

He needs to crush his opponent with force.

As for the rest of the experience, he exchanged all the Hongyi cannons, striving to completely destroy the enemy's will before the two armies engaged.

When Xu Yingxu came back to see Zhu Gui after something, he saw a scene that he would never forget.

"This, Acting King, where did you get so many Hongyi cannons?"

Xu Yingxu walked to a cannon and stroked it, judging from the feel, this is not a scaring model.

But Zhu Gui looked hollowed out.

"Don't talk about that now, you gather all the soldiers under you who have used cannons, and this king will give them a training."

Zhu Gui said.

"Intensive training? What is the training camp? ”

Xu Yingxu immediately sent someone to arrange this matter, but still asked.

"This king wants to use these cannons together and form an artillery battalion, so that the use of these Hongyi cannons can be maximized."

Zhu Guidao.

"Artillery battalion?"

Xu Yingxu thought about that scene for a while, it might be very shocking, but he sensitively grasped a problem.

"Lord Wang, your idea is very good, but if these Hongyi cannons are used intensively, once they are rushed into the position by the Mongolian cavalry, what should they do?"

Zhu Gui nodded and said: "This is indeed a problem, but this king guesses that the Mongols will not think of this, and the artillery position is not completely undefended, and it still needs a team of soldiers to protect it." ”

Although Xu Yingxu still had many questions, he did not continue to ask.

"Since the prince has said so, then I will go down and prepare."

Xu Yingxu left again.

Zhu Gui turned to the fully armed government soldiers behind him and said, "You are divided into four teams, one of them will protect these Hongyi cannons, and the other two teams will go to the artillery battalion to be overseers. ”

The firepower of the government soldiers is indeed sufficient, but the gap is still quite large compared to the artillery battalion where the Hongyi cannon is located.

Therefore, it is the top priority to protect these Hongyi cannons from firing continuously.

Soon Xu Yingxu came to Zhu Gui's side with less than fifty people.

There is no way, the efficiency of the use of firearms in the early Ming Dynasty was not high, let alone the garrisons of these local guards.

Most of them had only come into contact with artillery before participating in the battles of Datong Mansion.

But now, Zhu Gui has no better way.

He asked Xu Yingxu to send people to open up a small camp on the right side of the tension, and then piled up a lot of mounds, and then set up the Hongyi cannon on it.

The rest is Zhu Gui's intensive training of these artillerymen.

At the same time, the Mongol cavalry that had escaped from the Golden Horde finally found the Heavenly Khan, who was attacking outside Datong Mansion.

"What? You said that the Golden Horde was attacked by the Ming people? How is this possible? Aren't they all in the city? ”
