Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 303 Chapter 303, Batur retreated decisively, and Zhu Cihong won a complete victory
Batur Huitaiji was full of confidence, and began to issue orders to many subordinates around him.

"In a quarter of an hour at most, our heroic troops will be able to complete the outflanking. You are all ready, once you get the signal that the outflanking is complete, the whole army will press on, and you must go all out to wipe out this Ming army completely. here!"

The subordinates naturally nodded their heads one after another, with smiles all over their faces.

Victory is at hand!

Batur smiled and stared at the battlefield, but his mind had already begun to wander.

Which tribes should I contact after victory?How to evacuate Gushi Khan and annex Heshuote?

Batur was lost in thought.

Suddenly, a scout arrived out of breath.

"Hui Taiji, something is wrong!"

Batur was awakened from thinking, very unhappy: "What's the matter?"

"Huitaiji, the [-] cavalry we sent out to attack were repelled by the Ming army!"

"What? This is impossible!" Batur was taken aback, and the surrounding Junggar generals were also extremely shocked.

The scout said: "Hui Taiji, this is true, you see, they have already withdrawn!"

Batur looked up subconsciously, and sure enough, he found that in sight, countless Junggar cavalry had retreated, all of them with panic expressions on their faces.

Batur was angry: "What's going on?"

Soon, the two Junggar generals got off their horses dejectedly, knelt down in front of Batur, and stammered.

"Huitaiji, it's not that we don't work hard, it's just that... they have cannons!"

"Heavy cannon, too powerful, a type we have never seen before."

"As long as the cannon is fired, our side will suffer heavy casualties."

"Plus they still have musketeers, we can't handle it at all!"

The two generals talked to each other. Although they were a little stuttering because of fear, they still told the whole story.

As Batur listened, his heart sank to the bottom.

If it was because of some accident, Batur could barely accept it.

But the current situation is obviously not an accident, but the Ming army, relying on its strong combat effectiveness, repelled the surprise attack of the Junggar army head-on!

There was a loud cry of killing, and Batur raised his head suddenly, and found many Ming army cavalry approaching, chasing the retreating Junggar cavalry.

Although most of the Ming army were archers and only a few were equipped with muskets, this was not a disadvantage in pursuit.

Batur took a deep breath and said slowly: "Send the order, the whole army retreats."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

A Junggar general couldn't help but said: "Hui Taiji, we still have hope."

Another person also said: "I still have [-] cavalry."

Batur said sharply: "I said, the whole army retreats!"

At this moment, Batur's heart is like a bright mirror. Since the raid has failed, the Junggar army's continued fighting will be a slow death process.

Instead of this, it is better to retreat immediately and save some more troops.

Someone else asked: "What about Gushi Khan?"

Batur sneered: "I don't care about him, let me withdraw!"

The sharp sounding arrows flew in the sky, and the countless Junggar soldiers who were fighting fiercely were stunned at first, and soon chose to retreat immediately after confirming the order.

Originally in the Junggar people's expectation, the Ming army was mainly infantry after all, and their speed was much lower than that of the Junggar people, so the Junggar people should be able to retreat calmly.

But the arrival of the Ming army cavalry quickly shattered their thoughts.

Don't forget, the Ming army also had more than 1 cavalry!
These more than 1 cavalry tightly bit the Junggars' buttocks, which also caused huge troubles for the Junggars.

From time to time, Junggar cavalrymen were shot off their horses by bows and arrows. They were either killed on the spot or became prisoners of the Ming army.

As for the real main musketeers of the Ming army, after the Junggar cavalry left the battlefield, their combat mission ended.

Looking at the enemy army with corpses strewn across the field in front of them, the soldiers of the Ming army couldn't help cheering.

"Won!"

"Victory belongs to Daming!"

"The Junggar people are nothing more than that!"

As the main general of the left wing of the Ming army, Duke Ying also heaved a sigh of relief and wiped his sweat subconsciously.

Although the scale of today's battle was not large, it made the British public feel the most nervous after the fight.

For a moment, the British Duke even felt that he might not be able to leave this place alive today!

Fortunately, everything has passed.

The British Duke turned around and stared at the battlefield not far away, where there were many corpses of Junggar cavalry and shell craters visible to the naked eye.

The English Duke muttered to himself.

"It turns out that this is His Royal Highness' hole card!"

The British public was actually very confused because he couldn't remember when the Ming army actually brought the Hongyi cannon to the plateau.

But soon, the British Duke laughed.

As long as he can win, don't care!

On the other side, Zhu Cihong was also laughing.

"Have you seized so many muskets? Good, very good. Hurry up and pass on Ben Gong's order. When picking up corpses, don't just pick up muskets, you have to bring back the bullets too!"

Although the muskets of the Junggar people are not more powerful than those of the Ming army, they are still muskets after all.

If [-] guns can be seized, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army will naturally be greatly improved.

Fang Gonggan was also beaming at the side, and reported to Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness, originally a cavalry force of 3 people set out from Lhasa, but they withdrew after learning the news of Junggar's defeat."

Zhu Cihong was a little puzzled: "It came so slowly?"

In fact, Zhu Cihong left a reserve team at the beginning, just to stop the Heshuo special cavalry in Lhasa.

But when it came to the decisive battle, Zhu Cihong couldn't control so much, and directly put all his troops into the battlefield.

If the Heshuo special cavalry arrived at that time, it would be very dangerous for the Ming army.

But the fact is that the Heshuote people never came!

"Pig teammate!" Zhu Cihong sighed.

When fighting, the last thing you need is this kind of pig teammate.

During the conversation, the British Duke and Li Dingguo returned successively.

The British Duke asked: "Your Highness, shall we continue to pursue the Junggars, or go back to fight Lhasa?"

Zhu Cihong chuckled: "The old nest of the Junggar people is in the Western Regions, we don't have the energy to chase them there. Let the soldiers rest for one night, and we will go to Lhasa tomorrow! By the way, let those guys from Qinghaiwei do their best activities." After a while, after today, there should be many Heshuote tribes willing to 'abandon darkness and turn to light'!"
