Chapter 1128 Jedi's Great Counterattack (Last Part)
Duolun, yesterday's camp has now become Holg's camp. The mountains of food are still there, and it has been packed again. The tens of thousands of captured civilians are now slaves to the Tatars.
Although these tens of thousands of civilians were not tied up, and although there were only a few hundred Tartars responsible for guarding them, they were still trembling with fear. No one dared to resist or escape, and they worked honestly.
In the camp, Holger lay there with a pale face. He was shot in his lower abdomen. Fortunately, he was wearing leather and the lead bullet did not penetrate the internal organs, and he was lucky enough to save his life.
Holge originally planned to transport some of the stolen food today, but suddenly received an order from the Khan, ordering him to attack the main force of the 50,000 Ming army in the retreat, so the plan to transport food was delayed.
Fortunately, the Ming army is already a grasshopper after autumn. As long as the Ming army's 50,000 main force is destroyed, the hundreds of thousands of grains will be transported away at any time, so there is no need to hurry up.
The lower abdomen was injured and could not move. The military doctor also told him not to drink or to have sex, so he just lie on the body with his body straight. Holge was so depressed that he wanted to pull out the Ming army who shot him and unloaded it.
"Aoga has been leading his troops to set off for almost three hours. He must have captured the retreat of the main force of the Ming army, right? The Khan personally led a hundred thousand troops to pursue him. The 50,000 main force of the Ming army retreated in a hurry, and was trampled again. The entire army was definitely wiped out..."
Holge was bored and thought about it. At this moment, the curtain was suddenly lifted. His personal captain, Wubatu, rushed in like a wind, shouting: "General Holge, it's not good. Aoga was ambushed by the Ming army and killed, and the army was all dispersed."
"What!" Holger sat up in shock, but it touched the wound on his lower abdomen. He immediately screamed and lay back, trembling with pain, and said juicy: "How is it possible... How could Ming Jun still be able to do something to ambush?"
Wobatu said with a serious expression: "General, this matter is absolutely true. It was reported by some of the brothers who fled back. The ambushed them was Xie Sanqian, the Gubeikou guard who sneaked into our yesterday. This kid led 5,000 cavalry to ambush in the oasis. Aoga rushed to the road and ignored it, but ended up being ambushed by the other party."
Holger was shocked and angry, and blurted out: "Baoman, 10,000 cavalry beats five thousand cavalry, so what if he gets ambushed."
Wobatu swallowed and said, "According to the brothers who escaped, the Ming army used a large number of artillery and disrupted Aoga's formation from the beginning, and then took the opportunity to rush, and Aoga was killed by the enemy general Xie Sangu in one encounter."
Hogg couldn't help but remain silent. He had experienced Xie Sanqi's courage. After a moment, his face suddenly changed and he said anxiously: "Send the order and the whole army gathers immediately, hurry up!"
Hoggle deserves to be a brave and resourceful guy. He remembered that Xie Sanqiu led only 5,000 cavalry yesterday and dared to attack his 20,000 army. He immediately thought that this bold guy was very likely to take advantage of the victory, so he immediately ordered the army to gather defense.
However, Hogel's luck was obviously not very good. Just when he ordered the army to gather, Xie Sanqian had already killed him near the camp, but at this time they all changed into Tartar clothes and disguised themselves as Tartar's defeated soldiers.
Xie Sanliang led 3,000 disguised brothers to the camp gate. The Tatars on duty saw that they were their own people, so they relaxed their vigilance. It was not until Xie Sanliang and others came closer that they realized something was wrong, because their clothes could be disguised, but their appearance could not be disguised. The appearance characteristics of the Ming people and the Tatars were still very different.
The Tartar soldiers who found something was wrong were about to warn that they had been stabbed to death by a row of long spears stabbed towards them, and several corpses fell down with a bang!
Xie Sanqiang pulled off his coat, revealing the mandarin duck battle jacket inside, and shouted loudly: "Gubeikou garrison, Xie Sanqiang is here to break into the camp, the Tartars come out to die obediently!" After that, he rushed into the camp with a horse's belly and started a massacre.
The three thousand brothers behind Xie Sanqiu also took off their coats, exposed their mandarin duck battle jackets, and rushed into the Tartars camp by shouting and killing. They chopped and stabbed people when they saw them, and stabbed them when they saw them. They were like tigers coming out of the cage. Unfortunately, most Tartars became ghosts under the knife and ghosts under the gun before they could react.
The three thousand Ming troops rushed all the way and headed straight to the main general's camp. As the saying goes, shooting people first, shooting horses first, capturing the thief first, and Xie Sanqiu obviously planned to kill the main general of the Tartars first.
Although there were five or six thousand Tartars in the camp, they had not yet gathered together and were scattered everywhere. How could thousands of Ming army rivals who suddenly entered? They were killed and retreated step by step and ran away in their arms.
Soon, Xie Sanqin killed the center of the camp. At this time, Holge was helping his personal soldiers to escape from the tent. Suddenly, when Xie Sanqin brought his people to kill him, he was so scared that he ran away and fled in another direction under the escort of his personal soldiers.
Seeing this, Xie Sanqin's eyes lit up. This must be a big fish, so he couldn't let him run away, so he rode his horse and rushed over.
Holge's personal soldiers were loyal, and immediately twenty cavalry rushed towards Xie Sanqian without fear of death and resisted stubbornly. When Xie Sanqian led his troops to kill the twenty cavalry, Holge had already escaped from the camp under the protection of other personal soldiers and fled eastward.
"This thief was slipping away very quickly!" Xie Sangu angrily shot the flagpole outside the main tent, and Hoggle's flag fell down immediately.
The Tartar soldiers were killed off guard. When they saw the flag falling down, they thought that the main general Holge had been killed. In addition, in the chaos, they didn't know how many troops the Ming army had arrived, so they all rushed out of the camp to escape.
At this time, another group of about 2,000 cavalry Ming troops also arrived. They joined forces with Xie Sangu to chase and kill the fleeing Tartar cavalry everywhere. Tens of thousands of captured militia were ecstatic when they saw the Ming army defeating the Tartars. They finally had the courage to pick up the weapon to resist, and rushed to beat the dogs in the water.
The battle lasted for about half an hour and ended. Because it was a sudden attack and the strategy was properly used, Xie Sanqian and others took down the entire camp without much effort and scavengered the hundreds of thousands of stones of military rations lost yesterday.
"Wonderful victory, thousands of victory!!!"
The cheers of the Ming army sounded again in the camp, and tens of thousands of civilians who had regained their freedom cried with joy. They regarded Xie Sanqiang and others as saviors, and knelt on the ground and thanked them with great gratitude.
In this lightning attack, the Ming army killed more than a thousand Tartars, captured more than 300 people, and seized more than 3,000 war horses. The only regret was that they were fled by Holge.
Xie Sanqin naturally refused to watch him escape with such a big fish, and immediately sent several teams of hundreds to chase him along the hoof tracks. If he had good luck, he might be able to capture and kill Holge.
I don’t know if it was because Xie Sanqian was really lucky or Hogel was too unlucky. He fled east for more than twenty miles under the escort of more than a dozen personal soldiers, and then headed north, intending to escape back to the Chahar Khan Courtyard. But he died so hard that he happened to meet a Ming army that was following him.
Xie Sanliang sent several hundred-man teams to chase Holger and were equipped with flintlock rifles, so when they met, more than a dozen of Holger's personal soldiers were shot and killed, while Holger himself was captured alive on the spot.
…………
The sun was rising higher and higher, and the battle situation on the main battlefield became more and more tragic. Although at the beginning, a round of saturated artillery fire from the Ming army deeply shocked the Tatar cavalry and took the lives of thousands of Tartars, it also completely angered Altan.
In order to save face, Altan gritted his teeth and ordered a more fierce attack. He had 100,000 cavalry, while the Ming army had only 50,000 people. Even if he fought his life, he would flatten the Ming army's camp. He did not believe that the Ming army's shells were endless.
"Kill!" The Tartars launched an attack from the front and the two wings like a tide, and started a human-sea tactic.
However, as the saying goes, one loses one's fault, this time the Tartar generals learned their skills and spread their formations as much as possible, and charged in batches. The two groups were separated by thirty meters between the front, right and left. In this way, the group in front was fired, and the group in the back accelerated the formation while the Ming army changed shells.
I have to say that this move is very effective. Although the Ming army's artillery fire is still fierce, its killing effect has been greatly weakened, and it is impossible for a volley to kill thousands of opponents in one round of volleys.
Seeing that this method was effective, the generals of the Tartars attacked even more vigorously. Teams of Tartar cavalry waded through the artillery fire and rushed towards the Ming army's formation, while bent their bows and arrows to prepare for a round of shooting.
However, before the Tartars could throw the arrows out, the Ming army's bullets had already hit the head and face, and there were three uninterrupted shootings. The bullets were as dense as raindrops. The Tartars who rushed in the front were beaten into hornet's nests on the spot. They continued to fall one after another, just like harvesting wheat.
The Ming army's firepower was too dense and they were always guarding it. The Tartar cavalry rushed to the front of the formation about a hundred meters before they could not move forward any more. Within this range, human corpses and horse corpses were piled up like mountains, and the blood flowed even gathered into streams, which was shocking.
Finally, the Tartars could no longer withstand fear, retreated like a tide, and ended the attack helplessly.
At this moment, Altan's face turned as if it was ashen, and his beard stood up like a needle. He was shocked and angry again. More than 10,000 were killed or injured under his command, but he still could not shake the Ming army's battle formation. How much ammunition did this bastard Xu Jin bring?
"Why haven't Holger arrived yet?" Altan asked angrily.
