Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 633
call----

A gust of strong wind blew from the depths of the grassland, and the yellowed pasture fell down layer by layer, as if a layer of grass waves had been raised on the flat ground, spreading round and round until reaching the horizon.In the blue sky, swan geese flew by in groups, and the clear howling sound resounded through the sky. These beautiful elves spent the whole summer on the grassland, and now it is time to leave.They will fly over the grasslands, fly over the Yanmen Pass, and go all the way south, looking for a warm place to spend the winter in the south, and will not return until the ice and snow melt next spring.It is estimated that people living in Yanmen Pass will see flocks of swan geese flying from a distance, flying past the pass like a line of sky, and disappearing into the mountains?There is a folk song circulating in Yanmen Pass: "The Yanmen Gate opens on August [-]th, and the lone goose brings frost on its head", which describes this scene.

Lei Shisheng took a deep breath, feeling dry and cold, and it was getting colder before the Mid-Autumn Festival.Looking at the layers of green waves rippling to the horizon, he said sincerely: "It's so beautiful! The scenery of the grassland is always intoxicating!"

Zu Dabi chuckled and said, "I don't see what's so interesting about it."

Lei Shisheng rolled his eyes: "Old Ancestor, your aesthetics needs to be strengthened!"

Zu Dabi said: "I am not interested in these elegant things of viewing flowers and moons at all, I just want to know where the bastards from the Tumote Department are hiding, and when will they hit their main force! It’s been more than half a year since my horse lance has tasted fishy!” This guy is a war madman, and his hands are itchy every day if he doesn’t kill people. After coming to Xuanda, he hasn’t been sold in the market for more than half a year. Now he is leading the army. How can we not make him very excited?He couldn't wait to meet Tumed's troops soon and fight them hard!

However, what made him depressed was that it had been three days since he left the side wall, and the Tumed Department couldn't even find a shadow, which is really strange!

Lei Shisheng laughed: "Be patient, those Tartars are not very good at fighting, but they are very good at hiding. It is not easy to find them."

Zu Dabi said depressingly: "Those Tatars are really in trouble. If you want to fight, just order all your troops to come over and fight us hard. If you don't want to fight, get out of here as soon as possible. This way, you can avoid them without fighting or retreating." What’s the point? Boring!”

Lei Shisheng felt the same way.The work ethics of those Mongols is really not that good. As soon as the autumn harvest was over, they made great fanfare, and they were very motivated to make a big move. Now that the Tianxiong army has entered the grassland, they can’t find their shadow. It’s amazing. Ghost.

These two complained in their mouths, their hands and feet were not slow, the army advanced quickly, and went straight to the front flag of Chahar's right wing.

After Lin Danhan was defeated by Huang Taiji, most of the Chahar tribe chose to surrender to Houjin.Hou Jin placed them in the Ulanqab area (that is, Jining), and divided them into three parts, namely the right-wing front banner, the right-wing middle banner, and the right-wing rear banner. Straight line, while Zhongqi is closer to naturalization.It can be said that the right wing of Chahar is the gate of Tumochuan. If you want to ignite the flames of war in Tumochuan, you must first go through the right wing of Chahar.Under the leadership of the Mongolian cavalry, the Tianxiong Army swooped towards the Chahar Right Front Banner at an astonishing speed of [-] miles per day.Since they did not intend to fight a protracted battle with the Mongols on the grassland, the entire legion did not bring too many carriages, but a lot of camels. The ammunition and supplies brought by these gentle and tolerant beasts of burden It is enough for the entire army to stay on the grassland for more than half a month. In case the food is exhausted, they can be killed and eaten, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.Without the drag of the baggage, the army naturally moved quickly, and it approached the Chahar Right Front Banner in just a few days.

At the same time, on the other side of the Yinchuan Plain, E Zhe led [-] cavalry through the Alxa Grassland, and rushed to those Mongolian tribes who were unwilling to attach themselves to Ming Dynasty.We are enemies, we all grew up on the prairie, we know each other well, even though those Mongols moved away with foresight, but the little prince still judged through some clues that those tribes did not go far——— It’s not far away. At this time, every tribe has a large amount of hay stocked. These hays are the rations for cattle and sheep in the winter. There are so many of them. It is almost impossible to take all these hays away. If you don’t take them away...you just wait. A large number of cattle and sheep will starve to death.Sure enough, after two days of tracking, after passing through a forest, they were pleasantly surprised to see many herdsmen driving large herds of chubby sheep to graze on the grassland———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Looking at the mountains of cattle and sheep, Bao Ketu salivated: "A lot of money, a lot of food!"

All the Mongolian knights had green eyes and drooling.In their eyes, sheep are food... No, wool is quite valuable now. Didn’t the Tianxiong Army set up a textile factory to specialize in spinning wool? A large amount of wool that was originally useless was sent in and turned into soft and delicate woolen jackets , woolen sweaters, woolen coats, woolen scarves and other exquisite fabrics are sold inside and outside the customs, and the supply is in short supply, so in the eyes of these guys, the sheep running around all over the mountain are a group of silver that can walk and bark!
One of the disadvantages of the fiery red military uniforms of the Tianxiong Army is that they are very conspicuous, and they can be seen by the opponent from a long distance away.Before they could take any action, the herdsmen fell into a panic. The children drove the flock of sheep and ran for their lives. While running, they took out the horns and blew. Saber and hornbow meet.However, the strength is too great. There are thousands of people here, and they only have more than two hundred people. Desperate look.

Er Zhe laughed: "We are more bullied than others, Bao Ketu, you bring 200 people up to deal with them!"

Bao Ketu shouted: "Obey!" He raised the compound bow in his hand, and led the [-] knights under his command to rush up in the formation of horns.

Two groups of cavalry approached rapidly.

About a hundred steps away, Bao Ketu shot a loud arrow, and two hundred knights drew their pulley compound bows one after another and aimed at the target. At the same time, the pulley compound bow made a rattling sound, and more than 200 sharp arrows shot out, drawing short parabolas in the air, covering the group of cavalry who were cameo by herdsmen!
The herdsmen's eyes widened in horror—the horn bows at this distance cannot cause much damage to the opponent!However, the pulley compound bows of this group of red knights can easily do it. The sharp arrows pierced through the air, and the muffled sound of the arrows tearing flesh made people feel chills all over the body. People and horses were shot into hedgehogs and rolled into a ball!
Without a chance to breathe, the second wave of arrow rain came over again!This time the distance was shortened by 30 to [-] meters, and the accuracy was even higher, which caused greater damage to these unlucky herdsmen. The arrow rain swept across, and more than [-] riders fell down like cutting wheat.

The group of herdsmen finally couldn't hold back anymore. Amidst the patriarch's repeated roars, they swiped their backhands and took out three arrows from the bag. The horn bow was drawn into a full moon shape, and three times in a row, the three arrows shot in a straight line. Going out, this is the special skill of the Mongolian cavalry: Lianzhu arrows, the arrows shot by some excellent cavalry archers are even faster than the rate of fire of semi-automatic rifles, one bow can be used as several bows, but more than 100 bows are thrown at the same time. There was a dense rain of arrows.It's a pity that it's useless, in fact, those riders who are desperately resisting know that it's useless, because the gang of red demons are all wearing shiny breastplates, round helmets, and even masks, and the arrows they shoot are nailed to the ground. On the steel helmet and breastplate, sparks splashed and bounced in all directions.The arrows shot at those horses also had no effect. These horses are all covered with thick paper armor. With the poor tension of their riding bows, it is not easy to shoot through the paper armor at a distance of five to sixty meters. easy thing.

Bao Ketu was shot by an arrow, but it was all right. Without further ado, this titan drew his compound bow into a full moon shape, aimed at a rider with a cat on horseback, swished an arrow, and the sharp arrow shot out was long. He brushed across the horse's neck as if his eyes were closed, and hit the left chest of the unlucky guy. The unlucky guy screamed, threw his horn bow far away, and fell off the horse's back.Baoketu's subordinates also drew their compound bows, and another rain of arrows poured over them. When the arrow rain intersected, people turned their backs, but most of the people who turned their backs were Baoketu's opponents.A rain of arrows poured over, and more than half of the two hundred cavalrymen were killed or injured. Boketu shouted happily, put away his compound bow, and drew out his horizontal knife. Letting the arrows out, one after another drew their knives or straightened their spears to speed up their dash!According to the usual tactics of the Mongols, at this time everyone should turn back and turn around to lure the opponent to pursue, and then use the horse-returning arrows to continuously inflict damage on the enemy and bleed the enemy!Baoketu's savage charge was beyond the opponent's expectation, they didn't even have time to turn the horse's head, a stream of fire rolled over, the horizontal knife swung, fell, blood splashed everywhere!
Roundabout?I'm going to your grandma, everyone is a thousand-year-old fox demon, what are you talking about with me?A pig will bump you to death!

Without any suspense, this stream of fire easily swallowed up the group of nomadic riders, cutting off the scimitar and arms like cutting sugarcane horizontally, the spears went in from the chest to the back, and even nailed the men and horses together. The knights in clothes swept past, leaving no dogs or dogs behind, leaving only dead bodies on the ground.Bao Ketu still thought that the killing was not enough, so he gave a whistle after finishing off his opponent, and led this group of bloody, murderous subordinates to rush towards the herdsmen who were fleeing with their cattle and sheep.There is no warmth to talk about in wars on the prairie. Once defeated, the entire tribe will often disappear from the prairie—at least this tribe will definitely disappear from the prairie.Bao Ketu shouted loudly: "All the men who are taller than the wheel will be killed, and all the women will be snatched back!"

The two hundred knights laughed and responded: "Good!"

In just two sentences, they intercepted the herdsmen who had abandoned their herds and fled for their lives, ignoring the pleading and crying of the other party, and slashed at the heads one by one with the blood-stained horizontal knife.

Such an easy victory, the Mongolian knights were all excited, but Ezhe frowned and muttered to himself: "Just such a small number of people driving the goats to migrate? There is a problem, there is a big problem!"
