Chapter 836 Chasing the poor after the victory(1/2)
Dong!
Dong! Dong!
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
The sound of war drums sounded, the sky was shaking, and gods and ghosts were waving... The drum hammer as thick as an arm was swung in Zhu Di's hand, hitting the drum surface made of rhinoceros leather one by one, and the sound waves were enough to spread for miles... One side of war drums, two side of war drums... The sound of drums gathered together one after another.
The general attack of the Ming army began...
Zhang Yu led the Jingnan Iron Cavalry and rushed straight to Halie's Central Army. The old man's beard was floating and his divine power was trembling. With a sabre, killing the enemy was like cutting vegetables. No one could resist the power of a knife. Qiu Fu's death had already made Zhang Yu furious. He had to tell everyone that the generals of Jingnan were not old yet, and the swords in their hands were still extremely sharp!
"kill!"
He set his sights on Halie's dragon flag.
"I am really not aware of the life or death if I am just a Tartar," he said.
Zhang Yu rushed up, and King Halie had to send his personal guards to stop him. The people around him were all the elite among the elites, but their successive defeats had already made them lose all their energy. At this moment, they could only barely deal with it, but they were easily penetrated by Zhang Yu. He was like a sharp sword, penetrated directly into the core.
King Halie's face changed from pale to gray... He could not retreat. Once he retreated, these hundreds of thousands of people would collapse!
Really, until now, he lost more than 30,000 troops... Really, not many people died. As long as he gritted his teeth and continued to fight, the Ming army might not be able to hold on, and he could still win a miserable victory.
A miserable victory is also a victory!
Don't retreat!
No retreat!
King Halie tried his best to encourage himself, but his war horses had been retreating backwards... Zhang Yu's figure was getting closer and closer!
"kill!"
The old general shouted loudly and slashed the sword. Halie's commander of the imperial guards hurriedly blocked it with a knife, but was cut off by Zhang Yu's knife. Then the blade went down and split his head. The blood mixed with the brain was splashed out, as if he had broken a watermelon.
Zhang Yu swept across the blade and split the body in the waist, and the upper half of his body fell from the yellow sand... King Halie witnessed the tragic scene, only twenty steps away from him!
Zhang Yu was covered in blood, holding a knife, and rushed over again.
King Halie couldn't hold on anymore, so he could only turn his head and run away.
The guards around him lost the last bit of courage and did not dare to fight, and ran faster!
Zhang Yu rushed to the front of the dragon flag, and slashed the sword in his hand... Boom! The flagpole broke and the dragon flag fell into the mud.
"kill!"
Zhang Yuma stepped on the dragon flag and continued to chase forward... Halie's army poured out thousands of miles. In any war, when fighting against each other, the number of deaths in battle would be far less than the losses caused by the fleeing.
The reason is not difficult to understand. As long as you are still fighting and resisting, it is not easy to kill someone.
But once you start to escape, leave your back to your opponent, and turn from a warrior to a lamb, death will soar. This is something that everyone knows, but no one can avoid it.
The plague called terror was rapidly spreading, and from the beginning of the Khanate, Halie collapsed quickly.
On the other hand, the counterattack of Shenji Camp was much simpler.
They took neat steps and held muskets tightly... When they encountered enemy soldiers, they used platoon guns to shoot. If there were too many enemy soldiers, they would use grenades and even called on the artillery behind to join the attack.
When all enemies are cleared, they continue to move forward.
The pursuit of the Shenji Camp is more like a cold machine, simple, efficient and ruthless... Nine thousand Halie Iron Cavalry have exhausted their physical strength in the battle. Whether it is a man or a war horse, even if they want to escape, they have no strength.
Some people even found sadly that they could not even untie the armor, so they could only watch the Divine Machine Camp rushed over and wiped them out...
Finally, there was no enemy in front of me who dared to resist, only the coward who escaped!
"kill!"
Qiu Jun and Qiu Gong roared, held the musket tightly, rushed up, and quickly chased after them, using the bayonet in their hands to penetrate the enemies one by one.
My father's blood feud was finally revenged. He used the enemy's blood to clean everything. They pursued and kept killing. Whether it was the general or the soldiers, they only had one word... Death!
The Ming Dynasty lacked labor force, but before the war began, Liu Chun made a clear order that no prisoners were needed this time!
There is no mercy for those enemies who travel thousands of miles and want to get involved in the Central Plains... They have beliefs that ordinary people cannot match, and are as hard and stubborn as stones. Only by completely erasing them can the problem be solved.
The Qiu brothers and the new army thoroughly implemented Liu Chun's proposal, and were never polite and never showed mercy until the last enemy was destroyed...
Zhu Yong was also pursuing him. He was not assigned to the main force's mission, but he led a 25,000 military camp and prepared on the flank.
The three major camps of the imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty were very interesting. The Shenji camp took a completely firearmed path, and the three thousand camps were mainly cavalry. The Five Military Camps took a balanced route.
There are half of the musketeers in the fifth barracks, as well as spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, and a small number of light cavalry... In short, the fifth barracks are all-rounders with very balanced abilities. In addition, the large number of people is the core force of the entire imperial guards.
Originally, Zhu Yong was placed behind the flanking cavalry to prevent being defeated by the Halie cavalry... However, the Ming cavalry performed outstandingly in this battle. They suppressed Halie to attack, and Zhu Yong's position continued to move forward. When Zhang Yu launched an attack, he also attacked decisively...
Zhu Yong first assaulted with light cavalry, and these cavalry raced against the Halie people.
They fought their life to pursue, and beside them, ten times the number of Halie people was running away... These light cavalrymen were far from being a match for Halie, in terms of equipment and experience. In addition, with the absolute disadvantage of the number, if Halie people choose to attack, they would probably be wiped out.
But the problem is that the Halie people just dare not fight back. They seemed to be flocks of sheep, fleeing wildly, without even the courage to face the enemy.
The opportunity has finally come!
These light cavalry turned their heads decisively and rushed in towards a weak spot.
There was almost no battle, and the Halie people were cut in half.
More than 40,000 people fell into Zhu Yong's appetite!
"kill!"
The tall Zhu Yong, holding a knife, easily destroying his prey like cutting fruit...
The war drums were still ringing, and Zhu Di's arms were already numb. He could only wave the drum hammer mechanically. The smile on his face did not diminish, but he was even more relieved...
As a soldier, Zhu Di really wanted to lead the troops and charge himself, and win a refreshing battle.
But as a mature commander, Zhu Di discovered something that made him even more gratified.
The military reforms of the Ming Dynasty finally achieved results.
Firearms and strict training are enough to replace famous generals and strong soldiers... The factors of human beings are constantly declining, and strong national strength can guarantee eternal victory!
The new generation of generals grew rapidly... Not only Zhu Yong, but also the Qiu brothers, but also many young people, who are familiar with firearm tactics and baptisms, and in a few years, they can grow into the backbone of the entire army.
Even if the generals of Jingnan will wither, the Ming Dynasty will still have no shortage of elite soldiers and generals, and the Ming Dynasty will always be strong... As an emperor, what else is more gratifying than this?
For this reason, Zhu Di was willing to give up the protagonist's ear scene, but as the emperor, beating drums to help the battle is enough to write a lot.
The troops of Halie and Oirat completely retreated. In the sight of them, except for a few prisoners, there were also messy places everywhere, and there was nothing left to see...
Zhu Di finally put down the drum hammer and jumped out of the car. Who knew that he was exhausted too much and did not stand firmly and fell down.
Liu Chun sat by the car, twisted his head quickly, pretending that he didn't see anything.
Zhu Di was in a good mood and didn't say anything, just sat on the ground.
"Liu Chun, after this battle, can I announce the prosperous Ming Dynasty to my father?"
Liu Chun shrugged, "Of course it depends on what Your Majesty means, I have no objection."
Zhu Di snorted coldly, "What, do you think I am not qualified enough?"
Seeing Zhu Di angry, Liu Chun had to say: "I just think that Your Majesty should think longer. In addition to defeating Halie, you must also think about how to govern the vast land, how to maintain the empire's territory for a long time, and how to make the Ming Dynasty prosperous, surpass the Han and Tang dynasties..."
Zhu Di nodded and expressed his deep agreement.
"Yes, as the emperor, I really have to think about the long-term. It's hard for me to make plans for the country and the world!" Zhu Di sighed deeply, but soon laughed again, "For the long term, you might as well think about it slowly. Now, we should enjoy the victory!"
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Go and send some news to the prince and the Chinese civil and military officials of the court. Daming, I won again!"
Yes, the Ming Dynasty won again!
Although there is no accident, victory is always worthy of being a big book, especially after defeating the fierce Halie, the Ming Dynasty almost became the only overlord on land. How could it not be celebrated!
To announce the world, to be a great honor for the heroes and to share the benefits of war, we must not miss it.
It can be expected that many younger generals will be rewarded and become the main generals... This battle completely made the Ming Dynasty figure out how to build an army and how to strengthen its military power.
From this perspective, the value of this battle is unparalleled.
The entire pursuit lasted for half a month. When Duoerzhi and others who finally returned, they met Zhu Di and Liu Chun, they knelt on one knee, full of annoyance.
"Report to Your Majesty, I found Mahamu's body, but did not chase Tuohuan!"
Mahamu is dead!
Zhu Di and Liu Chun looked at each other. The level of danger of this guy was almost the same as that of Alutai. It was of course a good thing to be able to kill an old opponent.
"How did you find him? How did you kill him?"
Duoerzhi became more and more upset, "Your Majesty, I did not chase the troops of Ola. I just saw a wild wolf dragging the corpse when I was passing by a valley. When we chased after me, we found Mahamu's corpse, which was already incomplete."
"How do you know it's him?"
"There are coffins and burial items!"
Liu Chun asked carefully again. It turned out that Tuohuan buried Mahamu. As a result, due to the haste and not buried deep, he encountered another rain. He rushed out the coffin and the people who were buried with him. The beast swallowed the corpse and was discovered by Duoerzhi.
It would be nothing great if a person died alone, even if it was Mahamu, Liu Chun wouldn't care.
But the news revealed surprised him so much.
To be continued...
