Chapter 1293 The Battle of Mongolia (7)
Prince Yi's escape into the depths of Mongolia was relatively smooth at the beginning. After all, he had a very good grasp of the opportunity to run away. Without completely solving Korqin, neither Ortai nor Ming army could have left to pursue him.
It is precisely for this reason that Prince Yi did not encounter any obstacles in the first three days, and he also destroyed a small tribe on the way to escape. Not only did he kill all the people in the tribe, but he also seized all the cattle and sheep in the tribe for his own use, making up for the lack of food and grass in the army.
In Prince Yi's opinion, everything went so smoothly. As long as there was no change, his plan would definitely be successful.
In another ten days, he would be able to cross the grassland to the northwest and enter the area controlled by the Qing court. Whenever Prince Yi would not need to worry about anything.
All of this is so perfect. Even Prince Yi himself admired himself a little. When he returned to the Qing court, he completely eliminated his worries. What's more, the current emperor is Prince Yi's fourth brother who can wear a pair of pants. With the fourth brother under his belt, what else is he worried about?
The same is true in real history. Prince Yi was unparalleled in the power of Yongzheng dynasty, and the degree of favored by Yongzheng was also shocking.
Among all dynasties, princes with a very high status like Prince Yi have no one except him, and he was even nicknamed "Executive Deputy Emperor" by later generations. From this title, we can imagine the difference between Prince Yi.
Therefore, it is obvious that Prince Yi will use it when he arrives in the Qing court. Moreover, with his military talent, Yongzheng will even hand over all the command of the entire Qing court to him.
But these are all later stories. After all, all this has not happened yet, and it is necessary to wait until Prince Yi overcomes this difficulty first to achieve it.
What Prince Yi didn't expect was that just as he was full of complacent intentions, he felt that Huizhu suddenly changed when she was holding it. On the afternoon of the fourth day, Prince Yi's troops, who were rushing to the road, were suddenly caught up by the Mongolian cavalry vanguard who was chasing.
On such a large grassland, the Mongolian cavalry actually caught up with him so quickly, which shocked Prince Yi. He immediately ordered the rear army to eliminate the Mongolian cavalry of this small army, and at the same time, the main force accelerated the new army and tried to quickly escape from the Mongols' sight.
However, the idea of eliminating the Mongolian cavalry soon went bankrupt. The Mongolian cavalry did not love fighting, and even came close to Prince Yi's troops. When Prince Yi sent cavalry to surround and kill these Mongolian cavalry, the Mongolian cavalry turned their horses and fled in all directions without hesitation.
Although Prince Yi's rear army was larger than the opponent and was also riding horses, it was impossible to chase these Mongolian cavalry on the grassland.
As soon as the Mongolian cavalry ran, Prince Yi's troops chased after him, but they could only chase a few miles or more than ten miles. If you continue chasing, you can't catch up at all, and the horses cannot run for a long time. Thirdly, Prince Yi's troops are running away now, so you can't turn around and fight the Mongolians, right?
