303, Batur retreats decisively, Zhu Cilong wins a big victory
Baturhui Taiji was full of confidence and began to issue orders to many subordinates around him.
"At most another quarter of an hour, our heroic troops can complete the encirclement. You are all ready. Once you get the signal of encirclement, the entire army will be suppressed. Be sure to make a concerted effort to completely annihilate this Ming army!"
Naturally, the subordinates nodded and smiled.
Victory is right in front of you!
Batuer smiled and stared at the battlefield, but his mind had already begun to let go.
After the victory, which tribes should be contacted? How to undermine Gushihan and annex Hoshuote?
Batuer fell into thinking.
Suddenly, a scout arrived in anger.
"Hui Taiji, something is wrong!"
Batuer was awakened from his thoughts and was very upset: "What's the matter?"
"Huitaiji, the 10,000 cavalry we sent out to raid were repelled by the Ming army!"
"What? This is impossible!" Batur was shocked, and the surrounding Junggar generals were also extremely shocked.
The scout said: "Hui Taiji, this is true. Look, they have withdrawn!"
Batur subconsciously looked up and found that in his sight, countless Junggar cavalry had retreated, each with a look of panic on his face.
Batuer was furious: "What the hell is going on?"
Soon, two generals of Junggar dismounted in dejectedness, knelt in front of Batur, and stammered.
"Huitaiji, it's not that we don't work hard, it's really... they have cannons!"
"Heavy cannons are so powerful that we have never seen before."
"As soon as the cannon was fired, we would suffer heavy casualties."
"In addition, they have musketeers, we can't stand it!"
The two generals said one by one, and although they were a little stuttering because of fear, they still told the whole story.
As Batu listened, his heart sank to the bottom.
If it was something unexpected, Batuer could barely accept it.
But now this situation is obviously not an accident, but the Ming army relied on its tough combat power to repel the raid of the Junggar army!
A tremendous shout of killing suddenly sounded, and Batur suddenly looked up and found that many Ming cavalry were coming, pursuing the retreating Junggar cavalry.
Although most of the Ming army were archers, and only a small number were equipped with muskets, this was not a disadvantage in the pursuit.
Batur took a deep breath and said slowly: "Send the order and the whole army retreat."
As soon as this said, everyone was shocked.
A general of Junggar could not help but say, "Huitaiji, we still have hope."
The other man also said, "I have 20,000 cavalry."
Batuer sternly said: "I said, the whole army retreated!"
At this moment, Batu's heart was like a mirror. Since the raid had failed, it would be a process of chronic death to continue the Junggar army.
Rather than this, it is better to retreat immediately and save more troops.
Someone said again: "What should I do with Gushihan?"
Batu sneered: "I don't care about his death, I'll take it away!"
The sharp arrows were flying in the sky. Countless Junggar soldiers fighting fiercely were stunned at first, and soon after confirming the order, they chose to retreat immediately.
Originally, in the Junggars' expectations, the Ming army was mainly infantry after all, and its speed was much worse than that of the Junggars, so the Junggars should be able to retreat calmly.
But the arrival of the Ming cavalry quickly broke their idea.
Don’t forget that the Ming army also had more than 10,000 cavalry!
The more than 10,000 cavalry bit the butts of the Junggars, which also caused great trouble to the Junggars.
From time to time, the Junggar cavalry were shot down by bows and arrows, either killed on the spot or became prisoners of the Ming army.
As for the real main musketeers of the Ming army, their combat mission was over after the Junggar cavalry left the battlefield.
Looking at the enemy troops in front of him with corpses everywhere, the soldiers of the Ming army couldn't help but cheer.
"Win!"
"Victory belongs to the Ming Dynasty!"
"The Junggars are just like this!"
As the main general of the left wing of the Ming army, the British Duke also breathed a sigh of relief and subconsciously wiped his sweat.
Although the scale of the war today is not large, it is the most nervous after the fight.
For a moment, the British Duke even felt that it was very likely that he would not be able to leave here alive today!
Fortunately, everything is over.
The British Duke turned around and looked at the battlefield not far away, where there were the bodies of many Junggar cavalry and the cannonball craters visible to the naked eye.
The British Duke murmured to himself.
"So, this is the trump card of His Royal Highness!"
The British Cop was actually very puzzled because he didn't remember when the Ming army actually brought the Red Cannon to the plateau.
But soon, the British Duke laughed.
As long as you can win, don't worry!
On the other hand, Zhu Cilang was also laughing.
"So many muskets have been seized? OK, very good. I quickly pass the order from my palace. Don't just pick up muskets when picking up corpses, and the bullets must be taken back together!"
Although the Junggar muskets were not larger than those of the Ming army in terms of power, they were muskets after all.
If 18,000 guns could be seized, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army would naturally be greatly improved.
Fang Gongqian was also happily aside and reported to Zhu Cixuan: "Your Highness, there was a cavalry of 20,000 or 30,000 people starting from Lhasa, but after learning about the failure of Junggar, he retreated."
Zhu Cixuan was a little confused: "Here you come so slowly?"
In fact, Zhu Cixuan had a reserve team at the beginning to block the Hsuo Special Cavalry in Lhasa.
But at the decisive battle, Zhu Cilang couldn't take care of so many people, and he directly threw all his troops into the battlefield.
If the Heshuote cavalry arrived at that time, it would be very dangerous for the Ming army.
But the fact is, the Pesoites didn't come at all!
"Pig teammate!" Zhu Cilang sighed.
When fighting, the last thing you need is this kind of pig teammate.
While speaking, the Duke of England and Li Dingguo returned one after another.
The British Duke asked, "Your Highness, should we continue to pursue the Junggars next, or go back to fight Lhasa?"
Chapter completed!
