Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 367 Chapter 367, the musketeers showed their power, and Horqin fled in all directions

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of gunfire resounded through the sky.

Countless Ming cavalry galloped into the battlefield. They raised their muskets and skillfully shot at enemy riders at high speeds.

Who said you can only use bows and arrows for mounted archery?
There is actually a problem here, which is the hit rate.

Whether it is an archer or a musketeer, the problem of reduced hit rate will inevitably occur when moving at high speed.

But on the battlefield in front of us, where tens of thousands of cavalry are fighting alternately, the problem of reduced hit rate is largely made up for.

The bullet fired by a musketeer may not be the enemy he aimed at, but another enemy a few meters or even more than ten meters away, or even a horse...

But anyway, at least one target was hit, no?
The lethality of muskets is very huge, especially for nomadic cavalry.

A casual look at the history of ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, will reveal that when hot weapons such as muskets stepped onto the main stage of war step by step, it was also the time when cavalry, the "king of cold weapons", was declining step by step!
After a large number of Musketeers joined the battlefield, the situation on the entire battlefield changed drastically.

Originally, the Ming army's Chahar cavalry could not start the battle, but it immediately tilted in the Ming army's favorable direction.

Now, Horqin couldn't sit still.

"The Han people are coming?!"

The moment he heard the news, Badali, the leader of the Horqin Tribe, was in a state of disarray.

When he took over the post-break mission, Badali had already anticipated the situation before him.

There will always be another battle with the Ming army.

It's just that Badalley found that even though the Ming army had really started to join the battlefield, he was still not mentally prepared.

Badali took a deep breath, his small eyes flashed with light, and after a moment he issued an order fiercely.

"Okay, let the boys retreat!"

After hearing Badali's order, many generals of the Horqin tribe were shocked and spoke one after another.

"Great Khan, now our main force has just entered the battlefield, how can we retreat?"

"Retreating at this time, our losses are too serious!"

"Just take a gamble, the Ming army may not really be that powerful."

Badali was upset and roared loudly.

"Shut up for me!"

Everyone closed their mouths in unison.

Badali said coldly: "Even that guy Dorgon is unwilling to fight against the Ming army without sufficient strength, and the Chahar people were easily defeated by the Ming army. Where did you come from?" Are you confident that you can win?"

"I know you are all worried that the grassland will be occupied by the Chahar people after this failure, but that is better than dying here!"

"Anyone who wants to die can go. I have no objection. Anyway, what happens to your wives and children after death, I don't care if I say it!"

The crowd fell silent.

It doesn't matter if the person dies, but his wife still has to be slept with by another man, and the child still has to be beaten by another man. Thinking about this kind of thing makes people's heads ache.

Someone said softly: "Then what about the Qing Dynasty? Prince Ying's troops are still behind us."

Hearing this, Badali immediately became furious: "This Azig is here to help out in name, but in fact he leads his army and doesn't move at all. Tell me how can you fight?" ?”

"Go, tell him, just say that we can't stand it anymore, and let him march to support immediately. Let's wait for him for another quarter of an hour, when the time is up and there is no reinforcements, we will retreat immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Badali took the personal guards around him and began to retreat slowly.

He didn't expect Azig to come to the rescue at all.

Badali's thinking was not wrong at all, because Azig was not actually in the Qing army formation five miles away.

At this moment, Azig is already twenty miles away.

The cavalry of Horqin's troops were still very dedicated. Even at this distance, they still caught up with Azig.

"For help, Badali asked me for help?" Azig laughed when he heard these words.

"How about I wait here for half an hour and see if I can wait until Azig comes? Oh, maybe I can see him in less than half an hour, what do you think?"

Facing Azig's questioning, Horqin's envoy for help was speechless, and subconsciously looked up in the direction of the main cavalry of Horqin's troops.

In the midst of the billowing smoke, a Horqin cavalry group of about a thousand people galloped over, led by Badali.

Badalley and Azig stared at each other silently for a while, and both showed awkward but polite smiles.

Badalley asked tentatively: "Prince Ying is...going home?"

Azige paused for a moment, and said with a dry smile, "Yes, yes, let's go home. How about... let's go together?"

The two laughed at the same time tacitly.

Badalley waved his hand and said proudly: "Come on, give Prince Ying and the others a hundred horses, and everyone retreats together!"

Azig did not ask why Badali retreated alone with the cavalry, just as Badali did not ask where the [-] Qing troops who should have been beside Azig were.

The tacit understanding of mature men sometimes goes without saying.

In the battlefield, Horqin's cavalry had completely retreated and fled in all directions.

From the sky, it looks like a group of ants running in a panic.

"Surrender without killing!"

The shouts of the Ming cavalry resounded throughout the battlefield.

Just one sentence, of course the cavalry of the Han army can learn it.

There is a counter-intuitive common sense in the grasslands, that is, the party being pursued is often difficult to escape and will be killed one by one during the long pursuit.

Therefore, the cavalry of the Horqin Department began to surrender in large numbers.

Looking at this scene, Zhu Cihong was in a good mood.

"Horqin...ha, from now on, there will no longer be this tribe on the grassland!"

The two dominant tribes on the Monan grassland, Chahar, have now surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. If Horqin is defeated today, the entire Monan will officially become the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty.

This is something that Daming has never done since the death of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di!

A fast horse came carrying the messengers of the Ming army, and passed on a new piece of information to Zhu Cihong.

"Thousands of Qing infantry were found about fifteen miles to the south. The formation is quite scattered. The two generals Li Dingguo and Abu Nai are encircling and outflanking them!"

Zhu Cixi let out a sigh, and his smile grew stronger.

"Is this still a buy one get one free? I didn't expect Dorgon to be a good person."

"Okay, tell Li Dingguo and Abu Nai that anyone confirmed to be a Jurchen... well, no one will be left alive!"

When he said this, Zhu Cixiang's eyes flashed with extremely obvious murderous intent!
