[Chapter 389] The White Army is so amazing!

(0389)

"Boom!"

Just at this moment, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky. The thunder sounded like a boiling sound in the entire prairie. Almost all the Tartars were suppressed. The injured war horses knelt on the grass and kept making painful neighs. The uninjured war horses ran away in all directions. For a moment, most of the Tatars were stunned. Their first reaction was that they were ambushed!

A very small number of Tatars even realized at the first time that they were ambushed by the Han army. Because, except for the Han army, no tribe on the grassland used muskets on a large scale. Now, the bullets they encountered were so dense and lethal. Except for the Han army, it was absolutely impossible for them to be anyone else. They could even judge that this must be the elite of the Han army.

Sure enough, a large number of cavalry emerged around the Tuyuhun cavalry. They were all wearing blue uniforms and using muskets. Needless to say, they were all the same as the previous Diaoqi Army. This is really fatal! I thought it was a treasure pot I got, but I didn't expect it to fall into a trap designed by the enemy. What's even more fatal is that their number is quite large, far exceeding that of the previous Diaoqi Army!

"What's going on?" Badal was shocked.

"Not good! It's the Ming army!" A scout came to report in a hurry.

"What? The Ming army? Why did they appear here?" Badar was very surprised. His brain was not very useful, and when faced with the messy situation in front of him, his mind became more and more disordered. At the beginning, he thought that the Han army was just private armed forces hired by the Tuyuhun people. This situation has not happened before. Some powerful big merchants have their own musket teams, and occasionally, they will accept some very challenging tasks, such as participating in battles, etc.

He never thought that the Ming army would appear in the prairie in such a grand manner. He had no fear of the Ming army. Everyone around him felt that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army basically did not need to be considered. This led to him sneering at the combat effectiveness of the Ming army. However, he couldn't understand why the Ming army actually appeared here? When did the Ming army dare to enter the prairie again? Aren't they afraid of being devastating?

There was no time to think about it, and many of the Tatar cavalry in front had been killed. This time, the White Army concentrated four armies, with more than 3,500 troops, and concentrated against him with a team of thousands of people. It was simply a Thunderbolt attack, and a thunder attack! In addition to the Diaoqi Army, the other three armies attacked centripetals from three different directions and took turns to shoot. The first volley shot caused more than 300 Tatars to fall down from the horse's back.

The Tatars, who were caught off guard, really suffered a great loss this time. They only had Tuyuhun people in their eyes, and they were determined to kill the Tuyuhun people and then rob their wealth and women. Unexpectedly, the Ming army suddenly broke out from the way, surrounded them in the middle, and beat them hard. As a result, these Tatars were stunned. When they realized that they had already been crippled. They wanted to fight back, but they were no longer able to do so.

"Damn guy! Damn it!" Seeing the scenes in front of him, Badar wanted to tear the guys who spread rumors everywhere. Among all kinds of rumors, the Ming army was so vulnerable, as if they could push them down with just stretching out their hands. However, the situation in front of him completely subverted the rumors. The Tatar cavalry was so vulnerable in front of the Ming cavalry. In the blink of an eye, more than half of their troops had been lost.

However, the number of Ming cavalry was still large, so the Tatars had no safe passage to escape. On the chaotic battlefield, no matter which direction the Tatars' cavalry ran from, they would be blocked by Ming cavalry. Badar glanced casually and felt that the entire prairie was full of Ming cavalry in blue uniforms. They completely occupied the initiative on the battlefield. The Tatars had to be beaten. Among the ten Tatars, there were probably only two or three who could escape from the end. The others might have to give their lives here.

This made Badar feel deeply despair. When did his troops fall to this point? He didn't even have the chance to escape? The Tatars are the owners of the prairie! This is their home! Even greater doubts arose in his mind. Doesn't it mean that the army is vulnerable? Why did it suddenly become so powerful? If the Ming army is so powerful, how did the people of the Helejin tribe often raid Ningxia Town? Why didn't the Ming army recover the Bayannur grassland?

"Damn it!" Badal suddenly gritted his teeth and screamed fiercely.

The damn Ming cavalry even rolled over and dismounted, hid behind the horses, and kept firing. This caused the Tatar cavalry to suffer more damage. Because, in the chaos, there were guns and bullets everywhere, and no one knew whether they would be hit suddenly. Even in many cases, the Tatars did not notice the Ming army hiding behind the horses. As a result, they hurriedly passed by them, and then they were tragic.

What's even more terrible is that no one knows which direction is the safe passage. Or there is no safe passage at all. The surviving Tatar cavalry were like headless flies, running around the battlefield. They could only instinctively find the direction to escape. They found that they could not rush out, so they quickly turned their horse's head and tried to rush out from another direction. Obviously, such back and forth would only greatly increase their chances of being hit.

In fact, this is true. During the back and forth, Tatars kept falling to the ground. After several twists and turns, all Tatars were probably going to be beaten to death here. However, some smart Tatars simply gave up their war horses, lie quietly in the grass, pretending to be dead, carefully observing the surrounding situation, then suddenly turned over and left in a hurry, and instead grabbed the chance of life.

"Roar out!"

"Everyone retreated in dispersed ways!"

Badar hurriedly ordered, and he turned around and ran away.

He had realized that if he continued to entangle, the Tatars must suffer. Now the only way to get out of the predicament is to escape. No matter which direction he escapes, he must escape. Only by escaping can he have a way out. By not being able to escape, the entire thousand-man team will be finished. The so-called scattered retreat is actually to seek a way out for one's own life, and if he can escape a few, he will be a few. This is the best hunger that Badar could think of, and the most practical method.

However, his approach still encountered great resistance. There were many Ming cavalry around him, and the most conservative estimate was that there were 3,000 people, which was three times his strength. So many Ming cavalry surrounded the Tartar cavalry with fewer people, just like a group of adults arresting a group of children. It would take some effort to escape. If you are not lucky, you will directly hit the adults' arms.

As the number of Tatar cavalry became smaller and smaller, the remaining Tatar cavalry had a greater hope of escaping. It was no longer safe to hide in the grass. Because some Ming cavalry had begun to inspect the battlefield in a planned manner. They held bayonets and kept stabbing into the surrounding grass. If someone hid in it, they would definitely be stabbed to death by the bayonets. There was no way, the Tatars hiding in the grass had to take the risk of jumping up, turn around and run away. However, the result of their doing so was often hit by whistling Minnie bombs and stayed on the ground forever.

However, it is impossible not to escape. If you don’t escape, you will be dead. The Tatars who were trapped in chaos can only flee around desperately and randomly. Some Tatars were shot down by Minni while running. Some Tatars had no war horses and could only escape on foot. Of course, there were also sporadic Tatars who rushed out in one breath. What they rely on was not their own skills, but the luck given by God.

On the battlefield, any situation could happen. For those Tatars who rushed out, the White-Clothed Army ignored them and ran away. The White-Clothed Army was still the Tartars in the encirclement. As long as it was possible to kill the other party, they would kill the other party as much as possible. In their tight encirclement, there were actually not many Tartars who could escape, and they were not worth worrying. Soon, they gathered around Badar.

As the commander of the Tatars, Badar must have had several guards around him. He took a few guards, gave up his war horses, tiptoed, bent over, and quietly walked through the grass. For safety, he took off his commander's costume, threw away his golden waist knife, and changed into an ordinary Tatar cavalry outfit. He thought that this would avoid the eyes of the White-Clothed Army and escape from birth. However, the targets of the few of them were still too obvious, and the White-Clothed Army cavalry soon discovered him.

The eyes of the scattered soldiers of the Eagle Cavalry Army were quite sharp. They had been moving on the grassland for a long time, and their eyes were trained like owls, and the target could be discovered two or three miles away. How could Badar's huge body and the guards around him escape the owl's eyes? With a whistle, more than a dozen white-clothed cavalry surrounded them with muskets. After they found the target, they didn't care about it and shot directly. In this battle, the white-clothed army would die but not live.

"Everyone scattered out..."

Badar waved his waist knife and shouted loudly.

His meaning was that everyone retreated in dispersed ways and escaped one by one. However, before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his head was hit hard by something, and then he completely lost consciousness. In the eyes of outsiders, even after a rogue of guns, Badar and the guards around him were all lying in a pool of blood.

Several soldiers of the Leopard Cavalry rushed over, rolled over and dismounted, held a bayonet, and each of them had a knife. Convinced that they had died, they hurriedly turned over and continued to look for other targets. Poor Badar, because he pretended to be an ordinary Tatar cavalry, did not receive any preferential treatment after he died, and disappeared silently.

...

After half an hour, the gunshots gradually stopped. All the Tatar cavalry inside the encirclement had been cleared. There was no trace of the Tatar cavalry outside the encirclement. Feng Qingwu immediately ordered the stop of the battle, rectify the troops, and prepare to attack the next target. After the fierce battle, the white-clothed soldiers all turned over and dismounted, ate and drank, rested, wiped their weapons, checked ammunition, adjusted their equipment, and prepared to fight again.

The cavalry of the Tuyuhun people were responsible for cleaning the battlefield and counting casualties. They transported the Tatars' bodies together and prepared to set a fire to burn them. This was the custom of all ethnic groups on the grassland. In the past, the White-Clothed Army had always been killed and buried. However, the Tuyuhun people had to do a little more humane, and the White-Clothed Army had no need to object. As for the Tatars' war horses, as long as they could continue to be used, they were also concentrated by the Tuyuhun people. Soon, Houdefu came to report: "Kill about 700 people, and the rest ran away!"

Although three thousand people participated in the siege, with the advantage of troops and the absolute advantage of weapons, the prairie was indeed too large, and many Tatars were given the opportunity to escape. No one knew how they escaped. These Tatars were really talented to escape! However, if they killed 700 people, the thousand-man team would definitely be destroyed. Even if they wanted to rebuild, it would be impossible. It is estimated that the two or three hundred people who escaped were already scared and would not have the courage to continue fighting with the White Army next time.

There were dozens of casualties on the White Army. They were accidentally hit by sporadic Minnie bullets during the battle. Sometimes, the range of the musket is too long, which is not a good thing. It is easy to be injured by accident! However, this is also impossible. If it weren't for the great power and long range of the Sun and Moon Guns, it would probably not be able to win the battle. Fortunately, whether it was killed in battle or injured, the Tuyuhun people were responsible for handling it. They would be properly placed. Other soldiers could continue to fight with peace of mind.

For the Tuyuhun people, the battle just now allowed them to fully understand what combat effectiveness is. A Thousand-man team of Tatars was defeated by the White Army in just a moment. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would definitely not believe it. It must be known that the Tatar cavalry was not made of mud! If the Tuyuhun people faced them, they might still be at a disadvantage. The White Army was really amazing!

"Walk!"

"Next!"

Feng Qingwu ordered without hesitation.

"Da da da da!"

The sound of horse hooves was rapid, and the white-clothed army was like a gust of wind, rolling towards the next target.
