Chapter 368 Cruelly Tormenting the Tartars
With the roar of twenty AK47s, the crazy output of bullets bombarded the Mongolian cavalry like a violent storm, instantly splashing clouds of blood mist:
"Puff puff……"
Twenty AK47s instantly sprayed out six hundred rounds of bullets. The Mongolian cavalry rushing in front was bombarded by AK47 bullets and the blood mist filled the air. Many people and horses fell down.
Many bullets directly penetrated the body of the cavalry in front, and killed the cavalry behind them. A blood hole as big as a bowl appeared where the AK47 bullets penetrated, which looked horrifying...
After a round of strafing ended, twenty AK47 gunners quickly changed their magazines and started firing again:
"Tu tu tu tu..."
Almost at the same time, more than 300 other rifled guns of the Weiwei Battalion also began to shoot at the Mongolian cavalry:
"Bang bang bang..."
Although the rifled gun is not as powerful as the AK47, it has more people and can fire in three rows. It also causes a lot of damage to the Mongolian cavalry.
Several consecutive rounds of volleys, coupled with the crazy strafing of the AK47, smashed the hundreds of Mongolian soldiers rushing in front into a sieve.
Although the Mongolians had superb riding skills, they still could not avoid the fallen men and horses in front of them tripping over the companions rushing up from behind. The scene suddenly became a mess, and many people fell off their horses and were trampled to pieces by the horses that rushed up...
After his son was killed, Hato was sad but also cautious. He was far behind the charging team. Although he escaped temporarily, he was still frightened by the scene before him.
He didn't know why the Ming army had such powerful firearms, and he didn't know why it was able to defeat Jiannu repeatedly in battles, but he knew that his tribe would definitely be in doom today.
Unable to care about the relatives and tribal men, women, and children hiding in the yurts, Hato hurriedly ordered all the troops to charge and retreat quickly:
"Hurry up, withdraw your troops immediately..."
As long as some cavalry are retained, they will have a chance to make a comeback in the future. Otherwise, all the young and strong men will die in battle, and his tribe will also be destroyed!
In fact, without Hato's order, the few remaining Mongolian cavalry under his command had already begun to flee. Faced with such fierce firearms of the Ming army, not running would mean death.
The Mongols screamed bird songs that the Ming army could not understand and fled desperately. At this time, they all hated that the war horse had only four legs, but they had no time to think about whether the eight legs of the war horse would run faster than the four legs...
Seeing the Mongolian cavalry begin to flee, Hu Dawei shouted loudly with a big sword in his hand:
"Soldiers, kill!"
"Come on, kill all the Tatars..."
When the two thousand Xuan cavalrymen, who were recharging their strength, saw the Ming army easily brutalizing the Mongol cavalry that had once been so majestic in the past, they were already itching to fight. After hearing the order, they quickly urged their horses to pursue them.
After announcing the cavalry, the Tiger Guards and the soldiers of the Weiwei Battalion also quickly took off the goggles on the horses' eyes and urged the horses to chase them with whips.
Zhu Cixiang knew that the weather was cold and his weapons were fierce, so the Protectorate Army who went out to rob the country did not wear heavy armor for the sake of speed, but mainly to keep warm.
The soldiers of the National Defense Army and the Xuanda cavalry all wore cotton armor and thick cotton clothes. Even the war horses were covered with cotton armor, so the horses were very fast, almost racing all the way.
After several rounds of charging, the Mongolian cavalry not only failed to cause any damage to the Ming army, but consumed a lot of horsepower from their horses. Their speed could not be compared with the fresh force of the Ming army. After half an hour, they were basically surrounded by the Ming army.
How could the Mongolian army with no morale compete with the Ming army with high morale? They just ran away and did not dare to fight.
Some cavalrymen even threw away their bows, arrows and weapons in order to escape quickly. As a result, they were easily killed by three Ming troops.
As the number of Mongolian troops decreased, the difficulty of chasing and killing them began to increase. In order to reduce the pressure on the horses and accidentally injure their own men, Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji and Hu Dawei quickly reached an agreement.
The soldiers of the Huben Army and the Weiwu Battalion raised their rifles and kept shooting. They didn't care whether the Mongolian soldiers were men or horses, they just shot from a distance.
The maximum range of the rifled gun was more than 300 steps, which dealt a fatal blow to the fleeing Mongolian cavalry. After less than an hour of fighting, more than a thousand of the remaining Mongolian soldiers were killed by the Ming army, and only about 30 people escaped.
.
No matter how cunning the leader Hato was, he could not escape from the clutches of the hunter. He was killed by the sharpshooter Manyi of the Weiwu Camp from a distance. Before his body fell off the horse, he was immediately chased by a group of Xuan cavalry and chopped into pieces!
For the first time, Xuanda's troops felt that fighting was so easy, especially against the Mongolian cavalry. Before this, they had never dreamed that they would only be responsible for beheading people after leaving seclusion...
Seeing dozens of Mongolian soldiers fleeing, Huang Degong did not order his men to continue the pursuit. He was worried that the Tiger Army would get lost in the vast snowy plains because of chasing and killing dozens of people, which would not be worth the gain!
After receiving the order, the Huben army immediately stopped the pursuit.
When Zhou Yuji saw that the Tigers and Ben troops were not pursuing him, he also ordered the Weiwu Battalion to stop pursuing the dozens of remaining Mongolian soldiers.
David Hu wanted to continue the pursuit, but when he saw that the Tiger Army and the Weiwu Battalion were not pursuing him, he reluctantly ordered the Xuan cavalry to stop the pursuit.
The three generals looked at one place almost at the same time, which was the Mongolian tribe's lair.
Hu Dawei pointed at a piece of yurt and said with a smile:
“There are still a lot of Tatars out there!”
Zhou Yuji nodded:
"Yes, there are also a lot of meat and fur cattle and sheep!"
Huang Degong laughed loudly:
"Hahaha, I have many war horses bred there!"
The three of them had a clear understanding of each other and shouted to their subordinates almost at the same time:
"Soldiers, have you seen the tent not far away? Kill them all, rob them all, and burn them all. Let the Tatars disappear here, kill them all!"
"Kill, kill, kill..."
"Da da da……"
The soldiers shouted and urged their horses to rush towards the Tatar lair. Like a torrent of steel, the Mongolian tribe was soon submerged...
In the battle just now, most of the tribe's young and strong male cavalry were killed, and the remaining dozens of people had fled long ago. The tribe was basically made up of the old, weak, sick, and disabled. How could they stop the killings of the National Protector Army and the Xuan cavalry.
Zhu Cixiang didn't want to see anyone alive, Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji definitely carried out the order, Hu Dawei also showed no mercy in order to surrender the petition, and the blood of this Mongolian tribe was killed and corpses littered the fields.
It’s not that the Ming army was ruthless. This was the retribution for their repeated burning, killing and looting of the people at the border of the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years. It was also the fate they deserved for colluding with the Jian slaves to enter the border and plunder the capital.
Seeing no living people, the Ming army immediately drove out the cattle, sheep and horses, and then burned their tents and yurts with fire...
Huang Degong wanted to kill all the herdsmen who were escaping, but was stopped by Zhou Yuji:
"Forget it, Lao Huang, more extreme weather will come at any time, don't delay your return because of chasing them..."
Huang Degong did not quite agree with Zhou Yuji’s statement:
"Old Zhou, have you forgotten how they dealt with my border residents? They should kill them all..."
Zhou Yuji chuckled and said:
"The vast snowfield is so cold, and they have no food or shelter. Do you think anyone can survive? Wouldn't it be nice to leave it to God to punish them?"
Huang Degong agrees with what Zhou Yuji said. In such a cold and uninhabited snowfield, the old, weak, women and children without food and cold tents will definitely not survive for two days. I like the Ming Dynasty, and the prosperous age started from the prince's supervision. Please collect it: (www
