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

Chapter 653 The Iron Fist of Imperialism 3
"what----"

Manzhu Xili screamed desperately, like crazy.Just now, a 160mm caliber mortar shell landed nearby, and dozens of guards around him shattered like firecrackers, flying all over the sky, and a thigh with a burnt smell flew head-on. Come on, knock Manzhu Xili unconscious, and when he wakes up, he is horrified to find that he is in a slaughterhouse!

In all honesty, Manzhu Xili is not a good man and a believer. There are not a few people who died at his hands. When he was young, he also led troops to invade the borders of Ming Dynasty and slaughtered several cities. Naturally, such people do not lack courage and courage. Heart of stone.The Mongolian army has been bombarded by mortars these days, and it is not uncommon to see blood and flesh flying all over the place, but seeing other people being bombarded by artillery and a shell falling on their side, countless pieces of meat were blown up and almost killed themselves Burying alive is completely different. He was so frightened that his soul almost went out of his body, screaming like a frightened little girl, desperately tearing off the bloody and messy things on his body. It's even worse for civilians!
And the Ming army was rampaging less than a mile away from him, throwing grenades like raindrops, and the sound of explosions became denser and denser.This sound made Master Taiji even more frightened, every explosion and roar would make him tremble all over, as if every grenade fell on his side, trying to blow him into pieces... No, now he can't tell the difference at all Clear the difference between a grenade and a shell explosion!In panic, someone rushed towards him, ignoring his screams and kicks, and dragged him out of the terrifying Shura slaughterhouse.He screamed: "Don't kill me, don't blow me up! I don't want to be turned into pieces...I don't want to be turned into pieces——" He was struggling until his hair was disheveled, and his tears and snot came out from the roar. Poor and disdainful.The commander who brought him out and his confidantes were not in the mood to laugh at Lord Taiji anymore. The commander gritted his teeth, raised his big hand and slapped him down fiercely, slapping him several times in a row. The corner of Manzhu Xili's mouth was bleeding, he was dizzy, the screaming stopped abruptly, his eyes rolled around slowly as if in slow motion, and finally landed on the commander, finally he had a little focus.

The commander secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thank God, there is still a reaction, this man is not completely crazy!He strikes while the iron is hot, cups his fists and salutes, hissing: "Taiji, the Ming dogs have come to kill us, our camp of the Chinese army has been destroyed by them, what should we do!"

Manzhu Xili repeated blankly: "Has the camp of the Chinese army been destroyed by them?"

The commander's confidant said with a look of fear: "It's not just the camp of the Chinese army, the whole army has been crushed by them!" Raising his hand, Manzhu Xili looked over, and saw countless red-clothed knights galloping on horseback, waving The saber unscrupulously slashed at the chaotic Mongolian warriors. When encountering organized resistance, they raised their hands and threw a pile of iron lumps with wooden handles. There was a violent explosion, and the Mongolian warriors who dared to resist Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the resistance that had been organized with great difficulty was easily smashed by them.Like a red whirlwind, the knights of the Ming army swept across one camp after another, smashing all the resistance they encountered with sabers and hand grenades, and slammed a kind of incendiary grenade towards the tents, and the sound of explosions continued wherever they went , The flames soared into the sky, and the bright red flames reflected their blood-red battle robes as if they had been smeared with blood, which made people frightened at first sight!After watching it for less than a minute, Manzhu Xili made a very pertinent judgment: the Mongolian army cannot stop such a fierce assault!

Really can't stop it.The cavalry of the Ming army had the upper hand in terms of armor and weapons. Their sabers were extremely sharp. They could cut the scimitar of a Mongolian soldier into two pieces with one knife, or cut off the head of a horse. The quality of the horse was better than that of the Mongolian army. It’s not bad—the iron hoof horse can become the special war horse of the imperial army of the Yuan Dynasty because of its explosive power and excellent endurance. How can ordinary Mongolian soldiers have such a good war horse!The most frightening thing is that the Ming army used fierce artillery fire to completely disrupt the Mongolian army's position before launching the attack. The army that lost its organization and order was just a group of mobs!The well-equipped, morale-like, and highly disciplined tiger and wolf division attacked the chaotic mob, and the result was anything they could imagine with their knees.What's more, they still have the unscientific weapon of grenades, so what about strict discipline?So what about the strict military formation?Hundreds of thousands of grenades hit the past, and your army will be blown up like frightened sheep!
The commander asked anxiously: "Taiji, the Ming army is too fierce, and the warriors can't resist at all. If this continues, our entire army will be wiped out. What should we do?"

Manzhu Xili's lips moved, and several orders rolled to his lips, and he swallowed them back again—these orders were unreliable no matter how they looked, and he had the nerve to issue them formally.Before he could come up with an idea, gunshots sounded like popping beans, and horrified voices flooded in: "Ming army! Ming army is out of the city! Ming army is out of the city!"

The Ming army did leave the city.Zheng Jing is quite a crazy guy. Now that the Mongolian army has been beaten to pieces, he will naturally not let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately lead two thousand people who put together together to fight out of the city.Naturally, the four hundred Tianxiong army musketeers who walked in the front were divided into three rows and fired in turn.A thousand militiamen followed behind with shields in their left hands and guns in their right hands. Their shields were 1.4 meters high when they were erected. When they were spliced ​​together, they were like a wall. Nails, it hurts to be next to someone.Below the shield are three extra-large iron nails that are half a foot long. When these things are inserted into the ground, a simple but strong defense line is formed immediately. With the addition of a four-meter long gun, it takes several times as much to break through such a defense line. Corpses piled up... Probably only the Tianxiong Army would be so rich, willing to take out such equipment for the militia.As for the hundreds of bodyguards, swordsmen, and caravan heroes, they held round shields and broadswords, and five grenades stuck in their waists, acting as skirmishers.Now Zheng Jing is sweating profusely and commanding this patchwork of troops to move forward. When encountering the enemy, he stops immediately. The musketeers fire a volley of guns, knocking down the enemy one by one. The musketeers rushed towards them, and the musketeers retreated immediately. The pikemen stepped forward and thrust their heavy shields into the ground. The spears were set up, and the entire army formation looked like an oversized hedgehog, with the iron thorns on its body standing up.The musketeers put their muskets on the shield wall and fired fiercely at the cavalry, knocking them down with their horses and men.The Mongolian cavalrymen who were beaten mad opened their bows and shot a dense rain of arrows at the entire hedgehog array, but the effect was not good. In terms of shooting, they would definitely not be able to shoot the musketeers, and their riding bows were too soft. However, the thick shield wall and the armor of the Ming army caused some damage to the Ming army, but it is a dream to defeat this army formation with archery.The most terrible thing is that the effective range of riding a bow is also the best distance for throwing grenades. When they used arrow rain to wash away the Ming army formation in vain, those grenade throwers who cameo by bodyguards, swordsmen, and caravan heroes The soldiers also swung smoking grenades towards them...

The arrows they shot may not be able to kill the Ming army, but the bullets and grenades that the Ming army shot over would injure them if they rubbed them, and they would die if they touched them. Fighting is so unfair.

Manzhu Xili closed his eyes in pain.

Lost, completely lost, whether it was a cavalry battle or a foot battle, the Mongolian army lost in a mess.

He could barely accept the loss to the cavalry of the Ming army, because the lancers and saber cavalry of the Tianxiong Army were really strong. The charge as fast as wind, thunder and lightning, the thick armor and the indestructible saber and horse lance were enough to crush all resistance.But now seeing that his subordinates couldn't do anything to even a makeshift infantry of the Ming army, he wanted to cry from the bottom of his heart.Is the glory that Mongolia has inherited for hundreds of years really coming to an end?Has Changshengtian given up on his descendants?Otherwise, why did the Ming army have such terrible equipment?

"Let's... go!" He struggled to squeeze out three words from his throat.

The commander wondered if he had heard it wrong: "Let's go? Now the ministries are still fighting fiercely with the Ming army, what will they do when we leave!?"

Manzhu Xili roared: "Fierce battle? Fierce battle, you will be massacred by the Ming army! If we don't leave, the whole army will be wiped out! Hurry up and let everyone withdraw as much as we can, we leave Tumochuan , go to Hulunbeier to find a new pasture, let Boyan stay here and fight to the death with the Ming army!"

The commander had no choice but to sound the horn to retreat.Now the Mongolian army is still struggling, and they were stunned for a moment when they heard the horn of retreating troops, and then they saw Manzhu Xili's troops yelling and evacuating the battlefield following Manzhu Xili's banner, and more soldiers joined their ranks.The officers and men of the Tumed Department and the Chahar Department couldn't believe their eyes. They opened their mouths wide, wanting to shout, want to shout, want to scold, but they couldn't make a sound. In the end, all kinds of anger and contempt turned into A mournful howl exploded on the battlefield like thunder:

"Manzhu Xili has escaped! Manzhu Xili has escaped!"

The roars of tens of thousands of people merged into a thunderbolt, shaking everyone's hearts, and it was even more thrilling than the furious battle of thousands of troops just now.Many Mongolian soldiers couldn't believe it, and they didn't want to believe it. The three tribes were like a family, fighting side by side, and helping each other for so many years. Manzhu Xili said what he said and fled, throwing them all to the Ming army!

Wuhan's eyes were so red that he was about to spurt blood, and he let out a miserable howl: "Manzhu Xili, you coward, I will kill you!!!"

Bo Yan's face was pale, and his voice was weak: "It's useless... hurry up, or we will all die here..." Halfway through his words, his throat was sweet, his chest was filled with disgust, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. The overlord of Tumochuan couldn't accept such a reality, and was so angry that he vomited blood!
Originally, although the Mongolian army was caught off guard, their strength was more than ten times that of the Ming army. It was impossible to turn defeat into victory, but if they dealt with it calmly, at least half of their troops could be withdrawn. The Ming army won in a surprise attack. It is unlikely that they will let go of the pursuit, and their hope of returning to the grassland is quite high. As for whether they can escape the attack of the Lei Shisheng Corps after returning to the grassland, it is another matter.As soon as Manzhu Xili escaped, everything was over. The Mongolian army completely lost their fighting spirit. Before Boyan gave an official order, they yelled and threw down their weapons and fled. The offensive of Yingzhou City was filled with blood...
