Chapter 841 Incorporating Mongolia
During the Qing Dynasty, the Guanning Army was not the most advanced army.
In the eyes of most people, in terms of combat effectiveness, the Eight Banners are the first, and the Guanning Iron Cavalry can only be considered second.
Therefore, the Mongolian army that arrived was not afraid of Wu Sangui, and even looked down on him. This rebel general who betrayed Fulin and stole the Xiqing general mountain.
At this time, 25,000 Mongolian cavalry faced the west and formed a battle formation.
The layers of Mongolian cavalry were covered with chaotic armor. Some ships were armoured by the Eight Banners of Mongolia, while others wore felt hats, bloated jackets and leather armor.
After all, after the collapse of the Qing Dynasty regime, there was no logistics supply and no craftsmen repaired the clothes and armor.
The Mongols who had retreated from their new tribal state were unable to maintain the equipment supply and replacement of tens of thousands of troops.
Although the Mongolians' appearance is not very good, the fierce aura on them is hard to underestimate.
Twenty-five thousand Mongolian cavalry set up their formations, the wind erupted, and the flags blew, and tens of thousands of troops were silent and murderous, and they wanted to fight to the death with the Zhou army who had attacked them.
Wu Sangui took back the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, but he disagreed with the Mongolian cavalry with his eyes.
Everyone in the world thinks that the Guanning Army is afraid of the Manchu and Mongolian Tartars. In fact, it is not the case. They just don’t want to fight for anyone.
Earlier, when the Guanning Army fought with the Eight Banners, they were not afraid of the Eight Banners, and even defeated more than their own Eight Banners soldiers several times.
As for later, not only did not fight the Eight Banners, but even suppressing bandits, and doing whatever they were, it was completely a matter of Guanning Army's mentality.
At this time, the Guanning Army undoubtedly wanted to fight, and the intention to fight was surging.
After all, I used to work hard for others, but now I start my own business, so how can I not sacrifice my life?
Wu Sangui looked back and saw that the Guanning Iron Cavalry gathered behind him were eager to try. He couldn't help but slowly pull out his sword, pointed forward, and urged the horse to start charging.
As soon as the big flag moved, the cavalry of the Zhou army left and right, only Wu Sangui's head followed. Twenty thousand cavalry trampled on the earth and advanced like a torrent of steel.
Under the Mongolian army, Mongolian cavalry, who were still arrogant, held their weapons tightly.
Seeing the Zhou cavalry coming, Tumotetaiji pulled out his scimitar without showing any weakness and screamed loudly, "Kill them all!"
In an instant, 25,000 Mongolian cavalry roared out, and the cavalry raised their full speed while galloping. The cavalry on both sides looked at the opposite side, and all the eyes were filled with horse heads rushing forward.
Thousands of hooves trampled on the earth and splashed pieces of soil. The cavalry on both sides rushed straight towards each other with the courage to die.
The battle of more than 40,000 cavalrymen was almost rare after Yongle. The battlefield was filled with blood, the mountains and rivers changed color, and the Yinshan Mountains in the distance were trembling.
Zhao Ming fought with the Qing army many times, including more than 100,000 people, but it has never been held, such a large-scale cavalry duel.
"Kill!" Wu Sangui was excited inside with an angry roar.
Amid his anger, the muslan cavalry that rushed out first spread out to their wings, then pulled their horses and held their guns.
A dense gunfire sounded, and smoke rose from the left and right fronts of the Mongolian cavalry.
The dense projectiles were ejected with the thrust of the gunpowder explosion, and the thin Mongolian cavalry fell from the muzzle like beans.
The Mongolian cavalry immediately set their bows and arrows, and arrows all over the sky fell towards the Zhou army.
Although the Zhou army's cavalry was well-equipped and the cavalry in the front row were all wearing plate armor, the Mongolian cavalry had excellent shooting skills, and there were still many cavalrymen who were shot in the throat and face and fell off the horse.
However, the Mongolian cavalry did not come happily, and the two armies had already rushed to more than ten stairs.
Although the Guanning Iron Cavalry has been equipped with many bird guns and flintlock muskets, there are not many iconic three-eyed guns.
This thing has little lethality and poor accuracy, but it has a lot of noise and can scare the other party to death, and is deeply loved by Guanning Army.
Because this is not only a firearm, but also a handy blunt weapon.
The cavalry hedge is more about the momentum of both sides. When they are scared by the three-eyed gun, the momentum of the opponent falls. When they are scared, they will naturally be defeated by the Guanning Army.
At this time, the cavalry in the front row of Zhou army, holding three-eyed guns, rushed to the effective range, and within about ten meters, they immediately opened fire.
The cavalry didn't care about it, and first hit the Mongolian cavalry with iron sand on their faces, and then swung them around. The picture was simply too beautiful~
The cavalry of the two armies collided with each other, and blunt weapons swung, blooming blood, and cavalry kept falling horses.
At this time, Wu Sangui was holding a horse spear of eight feet in his hand and was wearing golden armor. He stabbed the horse spear, and the Mongolian cavalry that came towards him were stabbed and dropped off his horse.
The Mongolian cavalry's sharp edge quickly collapsed under the impact of the Zhou cavalry.
At this time, Wu Sangui led the cavalry to charge, and the Zhou army musketeers on both sides fired one after another, and the Mongolian cavalry suffered heavy casualties and fell off their horses.
This made Tumote Taiji in the formation stunned. He knew Wu Sangui, and he was familiar with Guan Ning Army. He had fought together, but he was a group of cowardly soft-boys.
Just when he was shocked, did the Guanning Army get injected with chicken blood? Why did it become so fierce, he rode forward and shouted anxiously: "Taiji, Prince Elin has run away!"
Lu Getaiji was shocked when he heard the words. He turned his head and saw that the right wing had collapsed. He was so shocked that he was no longer looking at him. He quickly roared: "Retreat!"
"Kill!" A roar of shocking sounded in the wilderness. Zhou cavalry launched a full-scale pursuit, and Mongolia rose up and collapsed.
Luge Taiji ran all the way and fled to Guihua City. In order to avoid the pursuit of the Zhou army, Elinchen fled northward, and then turned westward to surrender to the powerful Junggar tribe in the west of the desert, and borrowed troops from Junggar Taiji.
Now Mongolia is covered with loose sand. The Korqin and Chahar tribes in the east are not opponents of the Zhou army. The four divisions in Mobei are not strong. Only Moxi Mongolia is very powerful. It is said that it is equipped with many firearms and should be able to fight with the Zhou army and regain the ranch for him.
At this time, Lugetaiji led the cavalry and arrived near Guihua City for a day and night.
But what was greeted was not the cavalry of the Right Banner, but the Zhou soldiers who were waiting for him.
After the Tumote tribe reinforced the Ordos tribe to the west, the naturalized Shanxi merchants immediately sent people to inform the King of Jin Jiang Xiang who was stationed in Yu Shuoping to kill Tiger's mouth.
Jiang Xiang was about to resolve the problem. After receiving the secret order from Wu Sangui, the Mongols in northern Shanxi led an army of 30,000 to wait for the opportunity.
As soon as he received the news from the Shanxi merchants, he immediately sent troops overnight to surround the Suishun City. Jitobok, the right flag of Tumot, surrendered to Jiang Xiang.
The left flag Taiji looked at the Zhou army who had been waiting for him for a long time, and saw Wu Sangui chasing him from behind, so he immediately led his troops to surrender to Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui then immediately copied the Mongolian cavalry of the Tumote tribe and the Ordos tribe, compiled the Eight Banners system into three banners, and conscripted the people. Hetao established five garrisons, namely Jiuyuan, Dongsheng, Yunzhong, Yulin, and Zhenlu, and built fortresses on the spot, controlling the vast area starting from Henan Mountain in the west, to Yinshan, Langshan in the north, and to Guihua City in the east.
