Chapter 396: A Great Victory, Accidental Capture!

When the little Tatar prince was beheaded by Zhu Gaoxian alone, this already chaotic Tatar army collapsed in an instant.

Countless Tatar soldiers threw down their swords one after another, knelt on the battlefield of flesh and blood, and directly surrendered to the Ming soldiers who rushed to kill.

On the one hand, they had been frightened by the ferocious offensive of the Shenji Battalion, and they suffered heavy casualties.

On the other hand, even the leader of his own family was killed by the Ming army, how can this be fought?

There are also a few stubborn Tatar generals, roaring and flapping their horses and fleeing backwards, in their opinion, although the Tatar prince this led the front army was defeated, but there is still a large army led by the Tatar Khan himself, as long as he can escape, he will soon be able to return and come back to take revenge......

For this kind of Tatar general who fled the way, Zhu Gaoxian did not order to chase it, he looked coldly at the group of wolves and rats in the distance, completely indifferent.

Just kidding, long before the start of the fight, the Fengzi battalion on the left had already run a long distance and copied the back road of this Tatar army, and now these Tatar generals still want to escape, daydreaming?

The elite soldiers of the Fengzi Battalion, who didn't get the opportunity to fight head-on, had already had their eyes shining, and they couldn't wait to jump their feet......

He turned to look back at the battlefield, and found that there were Tatar soldiers kneeling on the ground and raising their hands in surrender, while the Ming soldiers were mercilessly strangling those who were still resisting, and on the outermost side were groups of cavalry constantly loaming, and from time to time they would shoot an arrow to kill the Tatar soldiers who were restless and wanted to flee for their lives.

And the camp tent of the Chinese army that he had just rushed to kill was already in chaos, with flames and blood splashing.

At this point, the overall situation of the entire battlefield has been decided!

The forward army led by the little prince of Tatar, 30,000 horses, was almost all crushed by him and completely annihilated!

"Pass my order, speed up and clean up the battlefield, and anyone who does not throw away his weapons and surrender on his knees will be killed!"

Zhu Gaoxian ordered in an indifferent tone:

"At the same time, let the auxiliaries enter, accept the Tatar captives, clean up the battlefield, gather the living horses and send them back to the city, and the dead ones to the quarters."

After this battle, he estimated that among the 30,000 Tatar troops and horses, at least seven or eight thousand people were killed, more than one-third of the death rate, plus he immediately beheaded the Tatar prince and a number of senior generals who led the army, so the Tatars would be defeated so quickly.

Next, it's time to get the prisoners, collect the spoils, and prepare for the next war again.

After all, according to the previous secret report of Jinyiwei, this time the Tatars went south to plunder with the power of the whole country, just to take advantage of the instability of the Ming Dynasty and the chaos of the current situation to invade and plunder the population and wealth of the Ming Dynasty, maybe they also had the idea of staying in the Central Plains again and occupying the artifact.

Defeating the leader of the little Tatar prince is good, but whether you can defeat the Tatar army that you will face next is the most important thing.

As long as all the Tatar troops who came this time can be wiped out, then the Tatar country will face a state of military emptiness, and he can take advantage of the situation and directly sweep the entire northern steppe!

The only thing to worry about is whether the Varat in the western part of the steppe will stand up and help the Tatars.

However, Zhu Gaoxian had already taken this into account, and if Wara retracted it, he would really have a headache, after all, the army had been going deep into the grassland, and logistics were also a troublesome problem.

But as long as Warat dares to send troops to help the Tatars, then he can take this opportunity to directly destroy the Warat army on the battlefield, and then clean up the western part of the grassland in the same way, and unify the entire Mobei under the rule of the Ming Dynasty!

That's right, with Yue Fei's personality to help, Zhu Gaoxian is so confident......

As the situation on the battlefield continued to be brought under control, the remnants of the Tatar soldiers also became prisoners of war, and the soldiers on the Ming side were very excited.

Sure enough, following His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it can be described as invincible!

These northern barbarians are not the opponents of our Ming army at all!

Just as many soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, there was a sudden commotion somewhere, but it was quickly suppressed, Zhu Gaoxian was slightly stunned, turned his head and glanced in the direction, what is the situation?

Soon, a group of soldiers came over with a few frightened and disgraced faces.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, when we were tying up the prisoners of war, we found that these people were strange in their whereabouts, and their accents were like people from the Shuntianfu area, so we wanted to ask what happened."

"As a result, some of these people suddenly burst out, wanting to kill and injure us and then take the road and escape......

When Zhu Gaoxian heard this, he almost didn't laugh out loud.

Fleeing?

Where are you people trying to escape?

The battlefield is full of armor and sword-wielding Ming soldiers catching prisoners of war, anyone who is slightly disobedient, immediately has a knife and axe, and there are cavalry on the periphery constantly wandering and patrolling, in this case, how many people still want to escape?

I'm afraid that if I didn't just run out a few steps, I would be hacked to death by the soldiers!

After all, Zhu Gaoxian's attitude towards foreign races is well-known, and when he conquered the Wa Kingdom before, he almost killed all the soldiers there, and the Shenji Battalion, which had followed him for a long time, naturally moved closer to him in temper, and treated these Tatar soldiers with an extremely bad attitude, and he could kill one more than one......

Zhu Gaoxian rode on the horse, condescendingly, stared at these people for a while, and then said coldly:

"Where are you from?"

It is not that there are no Han people on the Tatar side, after all, they have also plundered many Ming people in the past, but at most they are just slaves with a higher status, even those merchants who secretly trade with the Tatars in the face of the imperial court ban are almost impossible to squeeze into the Chinese army, which is the most tightly knit Tatar army.

Therefore, the identities of these people are simply about to come out, and they must be spies sent by some great families in the north, or messengers who deliver news.

Because Zhu Gaoxian had already been given a strict order along the way, and the investigation was very strict, whether it was internal or external, it was difficult for spies and merchants to enter and exit easily, so these people must have gone to the Tartar side to deliver the news, but they were trapped and couldn't come back.

This made Zhu Gaoxian quite annoyed in his heart, these big families were really not afraid of death, and they even dared to fight with the Tatars when they went out in person and showed that the chariots and horses were going to have a big battle with the Tatars!

It's killing yourself!

When these people kneeling on the ground heard Zhu Gaoxian's question, their faces suddenly showed a panicked look, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble, but they were still talking nonsense:

"Spare my life, His Royal Highness the Prince, we are all serious people of the Ming Dynasty, and we were captured by the Tatars before......"

"Serious people?"

When Zhu Gaoxian heard this, he sneered, and directly interrupted these people's begging for mercy, and waved his hand:

"Forget it, I know who it is if you don't explain it."

"Kill them all."
