Chapter 397: Tatar Khan: Why is my powerful former army gone?
Hearing Zhu Gaoxian's ruthless order, the few people kneeling on the ground suddenly turned pale with fright and trembled.
No, why don't you ask us again, why are you going to cut off our heads when you ask?
However, the Ming soldiers on the side did not hesitate at all, they directly picked up the knife and cut it down, and without hesitation, they raised the knife and beheaded several people on the spot!
It's like killing a chicken, it's easy.
And Zhu Gaoxian looked at this scene, his face was also expressionless, since you have chosen to go against me, you should know that there will be such an end today.
He really didn't have any interest in asking these people which family and which clan they belonged to, anyway, the big families in the Northland, who disobeyed him, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, had basically been recorded on the blacklist by Jinyiwei, and they had already reported it.
Those who dare to run out and drag themselves back during the war are nothing more than those few families, and wait until the war is over......
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxian suddenly snorted coldly, when the time comes, none of these families will want to run.
If you don't peel all of you and cramp and exterminate your family, you can count yourself as having a good heart!
"Your Highness, do you want to make some more preparations......
Su Wu, who came at this time, couldn't help frowning slightly after seeing this scene, he knew very well in his heart that these black-hearted families would do everything to protect their own interests......
Maybe it's going to be troublesome!
Zhu Gaoxian shook his head slightly, and said lightly:
"It's just a clown, no need to make a big fuss."
"Let the soldiers rest as soon as possible, and at the same time send people to the Fengzi battalion, so that after the front is finished, they will camp for defense and prepare for engagement, since the Tatar vanguard is completely annihilated, then the next army is about to arrive."
"Let them disperse the scouts and not be caught off guard!"
Su Wu nodded in agreement, immediately turned around and ordered, and after a while, he turned around and came back and asked:
"Your Highness, what should we do with so many Tatar prisoners of war?"
"Do you send someone to take them all to the rear first, or do you?"
After this battle, the Tatars were wiped out by the Ming soldiers almost more than 10,000 people, and then when cleaning the battlefield and collecting prisoners, they cut down some people who were not long-eyed, and the total was added up, almost half, and there were about 15,000 people left.
Zhu Gaoxian thought for a moment and said coldly:
"What do you want so many prisoners of war for? We're going to have to do it again with the Tatar army. ”
"Pass my order, Tatar soldiers draw three out of ten, and generals draw one out of five!"
He didn't have much mercy for these aliens, if they weren't of my race, their hearts would be different, and with so many strong prisoners of war, it was not convenient for the Ming army in the rear to take care of them.
It is enough to have seven or eight thousand left, and it happens that in the future, they will be used to open mines and dig fields, and serve as coolies.
"In addition, these prisoners of war are given one meal a day, as long as they don't die of hunger, and if anyone dares to make trouble, they will be cut down immediately!"
Su Wu was stunned for a moment, his Royal Highness's attitude towards foreign races was really so clear......
But he didn't say anything, as Zhu Gaoxian's confidant, he can be said to be loyal to Zhu Gaoxian, not to mention that he was only killed by three out of ten, even if Zhu Gaoxian ordered all the more than 15,000 Tatar prisoners of war to be cut down, Su Wu would simply carry out the order.
……
While the Ming side was jubilant, the Tatar side was covered with dark clouds, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.
Those Tatar generals and soldiers who retreated from the battlefield in front and wanted to flee for their lives were directly stopped by the Fengzi battalion on the way, and after a burst of slashing and killing, this small group of only one or two thousand people at most was directly reduced by more than half!
The only one who was lucky enough to escape was also the one who was told by the Fengzi Battalion in advance and deliberately missed a little to let them escape.
After all, the Tatar army may not necessarily choose this direction to attack, but it would be different if you knew that the 30,000-headed army led by the little prince would be defeated and lost.
What Zhu Gaoxian wanted was to make the Tatar army attack from his direction, so as to avoid encounters in other directions and reduce the damage of the Ming army and civilians as much as possible.
He is ready to launch a decisive battle with the Tatar army in this direction and completely destroy the Tatar army!
At this time, the Tatar Khan Arutai, who received the report, and a number of high-ranking generals were already dumbfounded.
"What did you say?"
"The little prince was defeated by the Ming army in front?"
"That's!"
Not to mention Arutai, even all the generals in the camp couldn't believe that this was true.
Immortality is above, what are you kidding? That's an elite Tatar army of 30,000!
Moreover, since those Ming merchants secretly began to trade with the Tatars, the Tatar army has gradually mastered many siege methods, plus those Ming craftsmen who were plundered and traded, the Tatar army has already improved greatly in terms of attacking cities in addition to field battles.
A few small towns, for the 30,000 troops in front, it is simply a breeze!
However, as the dozens of people who fled back kept crying, everyone's hearts became colder and colder, until when they heard the end, Arutai couldn't help but slam the tea bowl in his hand on the spot:
"Bastard!"
"I'm so!"
"This prince of the Ming Kingdom, is he here specifically to block us Tatars?"
As the current lord of Tatar and the former Tatar master, Arutai is no stranger to Zhu Gaoxian, and even thanks to Zhu Gaoxian, several Tatar princes died in the war at the beginning, and he had the opportunity to ascend to the throne of Khan.
This time, he also hoped to take advantage of the unstable situation in the Ming Kingdom, when the old emperor was about to die, and the new emperor was not established, to wantonly plunder, and even had the idea of wanting to take Beiping in one fell swoop and directly win the Central Plains.
After all, according to the big families who secretly communicated with him, now the Ming Kingdom is very dissatisfied with Zhu Gaoxian, the crown prince, and in this case, as long as the Tatars win consecutive battles, it is impossible to say that the Ming Kingdom will collapse on its own, and he can follow the old events of the Mengyuan Dynasty and reoccupy and rule the rich and prosperous land of the Central Plains!
However, now, he rushed to the whole country's army, and he had just entered the territory of the Ming Kingdom, and he was beaten by Zhu Gaoxian!
It made him almost dizzy and angry!
At the same time, there was a faint uneasiness in my heart.
This prince of the Ming Kingdom, as well as the Ming army led by him, are still so capable of fighting?
Can he defeat his 30,000-strong striker elite in one battle?
It was a shock to him!
