Chapter 428 Pure nomadism has no future
Author: The beggar
The power of one or two flying thunder cannons may not be obvious, but during the night attack, the cannons deployed in the Black Flag position were fully fired, exploding bursts of fire in the dark night on the grassland, which was extremely terrifying.
The battle damage caused to the Mongolian soldiers who attacked at night was also extremely terrifying!
After a series of bombings to vent his anger and fear, Black Flag was able to clean up the battlefield, collect the corpses, take off the armor, and pry a gold tooth or something from the dead man's mouth.
As for the soldiers of the Chechen Khan tribe, most of their armor is made of piercing armor.
Although it was the Yuan Dynasty that initially promoted cloth face armor, today's Mongolia, or Khalkha Mongolia, has long since had no areas that can produce cotton cloth, so naturally there is no cloth face armor available.
Even if there are, they are very rare or have been refurbished.
But this does not mean that these armors are backward or cannot be used.
In the face of hand-to-hand combat with swordsmen, the protective capabilities of piercing armor are still there. The armor used in the Ming Dynasty varies depending on the region. While "dark armor" such as cloth-faced armor is mostly used in the north, the common armor in the south is still
Zhajia and other 'Mingjia' are the main ones.
A part of the armor was picked out and covered with a layer of black cloth, and a new group of heavily armored infantry were added to Black Flag's side.
What Cheng Kuo and Hao Ya didn't expect was that this round of bombing with full firepower directly destroyed the courage of the Chechen Khan tribes.
In the next few days, the Khalkha Mongols not only did not attack the black flag, but also moved the camp back two miles, and the king's tent shrank back five miles.
Because they heard that the most powerful cannons owned by Eight Banners and Black Banners, the red cannons, could hit a distance of up to twenty miles.
I don’t dare to fight this for the time being.
We can only wait until Tuxie Tuhan's troops arrive.
But Tuxie Tuhan's tribe did not wait.
The five thousand elite cavalry commanded by Özgen arrived first.
More than 2,000 horsemen led by Teng Jisi, leader of the Sunit tribe, who had originally planned to cut off their retreat, encountered Ezgen's troops, and a conflict immediately broke out!
Tengjisitun's station on a hill was bombarded! Then when its cavalry gathered, the black-banner Mongolian cavalry rushed in!
Since the last time he pursued the young Manchu emperor, Ozgen has developed the habit of searching hard for core targets in the enemy's formation.
When leading the army to raid! I saw Teng Jisi among the enemy at a glance!
"Whoever captures the enemy chief will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver! Two third-class slaves!"
Under the generous reward! The soldiers howled!
Teng Jisi's troops, who were attacked, saw the enemy elites coming! Teng Jisi himself shouted to retreat quickly and wanted to send the news of the arrival of the black flag reinforcements back to the Khalkha coalition camp.
Amid the orders, another Sunit Qianhu was selected to lead the troops to stop the enemy.
And this Senhuya decisively led more than two hundred Sunit riders to disperse, intending to entangle the enemy with mounted archery!
But as soon as they met, the two hundred or so cavalry were scattered by the black flag cavalry, cut down, and shot under the horses!
Teng Jisi became the key pursuit target under Ozgen's call, and a large group of black flag cavalry carrying short muskets and bows and arrows chased behind him! The sound of muskets exploding and arrows streaking nearby continued!
In the chaos, Ozigan pulled the rope that tied Qianhu, who was leading the counterattack, from the hands of his horsemen.
He is very brave, but Black Flag is good at capturing prisoners.
A thrown net in front of him made him fall over.
"I ask you to answer! If you answer, I won't kill you! Where is my black flag army now?"
"Dead! All dead!"
Sunit Qianhu was caught in the net and dragged with blood on his face, but he still kept his mouth strong and kept yelling and scolding.
But soon he couldn't curse anymore.
Teng Jisi's horse was shot and was overtaken by the black flag cavalry. After his bodyguards fought to the death and killed several people, he shouted and surrendered. Soon a group of cavalry tied him up and escorted him over, and then in E
Debate over the ownership of the reward in front of Jigen.
"Gungungun, fifteen taels of silver per person, no slave!"
The big head was gone, and the soldiers were about to explain their reasoning again, when Ozgen's whip was raised.
It’s a very hard-core principle, and riders naturally accept it.
"Insatiable!"
After saying a well-spoken idiom to highlight his culture, Ojigen looked at Teng Jisi who was kneeling on the ground, and he looked familiar.
In his early years, he was also a prince who was very close to the Qing court.
At that time, there were only a thousand households in Ejigen, and they could only huddle outside the big tent and look up at them during the war.
"Teng Jisi? I heard that your tribe was defeated by the Black Flag. Since you are here, you must also know the location of my Black Flag army. Tell me, otherwise it will look like a noble prince being tortured.
nice."
"you dare!?"
Opening one's mouth was torture, and Teng Jisi had to be afraid.
Defection on the grassland is not a big deal, personal hatred is a big deal. We didn't steal your Black Flag, nor did the Eight Banners.
"See if I dare! Light up the brazier and bring me the soldering iron!"
"Who are you!"
"You said it or not!"
"This king said!"
Teng Jisi's tone was still tough, but he was really scared.
In fact, speaking at a more minor level, his defection to the Khalkha Mongols was just a family matter. Even if the army was defeated, the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty would only appease and stabilize him, with no punishment at most. According to seniority, he was Duduo's niece-in-law.
But Black Flag is different.
An outsider is involved in my own affairs!
So before the soldering iron was even hot, Teng Jisi said everything that needed to be said.
After learning about the current situation of the war, Ozgen smiled happily.
It is also a great achievement to rescue a team besieged by 50,000 troops!
He also had the energy to kill Hao Ya.
Of course, after laughing, Özgen was still sad.
How to get out of the siege and get out of the siege as quickly as possible is a big problem.
The sooner the better.
After all, the crops at home are waiting to be harvested.
Nowadays, as the leader of the Black Banner Mongolia, Ejigen has turned herding into a sideline business among the ethnic group.
The Little Ice Age had a greater impact on nomadic civilization than on agricultural civilization. If they were not devoid of technology, who among the herdsmen on the grasslands would be willing to huddle together with their cattle and sheep in winter, shivering in storms, and sandstorms, and chewing grass roots together?
Today's Ojigen is no different from an ordinary Han farmer.
I just wanted to get rid of the matter quickly, and I felt at ease when I went back and watched every grain of food being received in the granary.
I have never seen so much food in my life, and there is food I have never seen before.
But at the same time.
The fleeing Sunit riders also spread the news of the arrival of the Black Flag reinforcements to the Khalkha coalition camp.
On the day the news came, Jebtsundamba moved his Dharma Chariot five miles behind the battlefield.
He knows the root of the black flag, what's on the surface.
So I never thought about negotiating with Black Flag before.
The Chechen Khan Shuolei also had to pay attention and sent out riders to investigate the situation.
When the cavalry from both sides encountered each other, the black flag cavalry was fierce and the Chechen Khan cavalry showed their timidity just because of their equipment.
They are both Mongolians, but there is a big difference between the riveted cotton leather armor and the sheepskin jacket, not to mention that the workmanship of their respective swords, bows and spears is not of the same level.
Those who came were real elites.
After Shuolei knew this, he couldn't help but feel frightened.
First came the artillery and then thousands of fine cavalry reinforcements. God knows whether there will be reinforcements later.
Based on the current strength comparison, Sunit's troops are basically completely destroyed. Now the more than 30,000 coalition troops under his command can no longer stop the Qing army.
A slight mistake would cause a conflict with the Qing army, resulting in losses. After Tuxie Tuhan's troops arrived, they might join forces with the Qing army to annex him!
After all, the relationship between the three major divisions of Khalkha and Mongolia is really not good.
Otherwise, there would be no need for the "Mongol Oirat Code".
