Chapter 751

Arslen Khan issued a royal order, and countless tribal warriors gathered in Arslen Khan's royal tent.

The day before Arsleng Khan set out to take the oath, he stood on a high platform and looked at the cavalry that covered the sky. Arsleng Khan did not have the ambitions he had before.

This time I went to fight Jia Ke. I don't know how many of these warriors will be able to come back.

Meng He stood next to Alslenhan and comforted him: "Great Khan, don't worry too much. We have already arranged a retreat. This time we will fight Jia Ke. If we can win, we will win. If we can't win, we will take advantage of the situation."

go."

Alsileng Khan nodded. Although he said that he had arranged for the people to move westward, the results were not optimistic. The tribal leaders did not want to give up everything on the grassland and go to the bitter cold land in the west to suffer.

But this time the battle with Jia Ke has reached a critical moment of life and death. I think that no matter what attitude the tribesmen have now, they have no choice but to move westward.

On the second day, Alslenhan led 500,000 prairie cavalry and headed straight for Jia Ke.

The armies of both sides marched towards each other. After more than ten days, the armies of both sides met on a flat grassland.

Fortunately, the grassland is quite vast. Otherwise, if there were nearly 2 million people there, there would be no place to stay.

Jia Ke is not ready to fight with Ars Lenghan anymore. In the past, he fought with the opponent because he had a lot of troops and had no choice but to do so.

But now that Jia Ke is commanding an army of millions, he thinks he can wipe out all ghosts and monsters, so there is no need to waste time with them like this.

Therefore, Jia Ke set up his battle formation the next day and attacked the Tatar camp.

Alsileng Khan was caught off guard. He thought that the two sides were going to send generals to each other in front of the battle to show off. Unexpectedly, Jia Ke directly sent a large army to attack.

Alsileng Khan hurriedly ordered Meng He to lead the entire army to resist Jia Ke's attack.

Meng He received the king's order and came to the camp to command his soldiers to go to the camp. All kinds of bows and arrows were ready, waiting for Jia Ke's men to come and die.

As a result, Jia Ke's army stopped marching seven or eight hundred steps away from the Tatar camp. Then hundreds of cannons were pushed in front of the formation.

Although Meng He was said to be resourceful, this was the first time he saw these iron lumps. He didn't understand what these things were used for.

However, Meng He knew that once the opponent attacked, it would be overwhelming, so he kept driving the soldiers under the stronghold, waiting at any time to reinforce the soldiers who died in the previous battle.

At this moment, the cannons began to fire.

But Meng He only felt the sound of thunder roaring in his ears, and then he saw countless fireballs heading straight towards the wall of the village.

The Tatars are not good at building large camps, and their walls are just made of wood. How can they withstand the bombardment of these artillery pieces.

As a result, after the first round of artillery, the wall facing Jia Ke had become in pieces and almost useless.

Meng He was dumbfounded when he saw this situation. He had never thought that there were such ferocious weapons in the world.

But after all, Meng He has been on the battlefield for a long time and knows that now we have reached the most critical moment.

So Meng He no longer cared about defending, and immediately ordered his cavalry to rush out of the battle camp and begin to attack Jia Ke's side.

What Meng He meant was to use the speed of the cavalry to rush to the opponent's formation and destroy all the unknown anger. If the cavalry could be used to disrupt the opponent's formation, it might be possible to keep the safety of the village.

But Jia Ke has been fighting with them for so many years, and he has long been aware of the Tatars' tactics.

Seeing that the opponent's stronghold had been leveled, Jia Ke immediately ordered the musketeers to come forward.

Then he ordered the artillery to slowly retreat into the formation, and then replaced the solid bullets with grape bullets. Then he began to bombard the Tatar cavalry.

Now, the Tatar cavalry knew what a hail of bullets meant.

At the beginning, there was artillery bombardment. The grapeshot fired by the cannon fell like raindrops in front of the Tatar formation.

Each launch can cut off a large piece of the Tatars' men and horses. The distance of several hundred steps is a natural chasm that the Tatars can never cross.

However, the bravery of the Tatars still exceeded Jia Ke's imagination. Although the cavalry in front fell off their horses one by one and died, the people in the rear did not pause at all and continued to charge forward over the bodies of their companions.

In this way, the Tatar cavalry slowly approached Jia Ke's main formation despite the bombardment of artillery.

As the Tatars approached Jia Ke's camp, they thought they were about to pick up the enemy, so they became even more excited and charged towards Jia Ke's camp with howls.

As a result, Jia Ke let them know what the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

When the Dada cavalry approached Jia Ke and won 100 steps, the fusiliers started firing continuously.

This time, under the constant attack of artillery and musketry, the Tatars seemed to have hit an iron wall in front.

No matter how brave and brave the Tatars were, they could not get within 80 steps of Jia Ke's army.

When Meng He saw this situation after the formation, his liver and gallbladder were split apart. He now felt a fear that he had never seen before.

Now Meng He is at his wits' end, and in the face of absolute power, his strategies are completely useless.

At this moment, Ars Lenghan came to the front of the formation and saw this situation. He frowned and lowered his head to think about it, and then suddenly gave an order. The remaining cavalry immediately packed up their equipment, withdrew from the camp and moved to the north.

Meng He became a little anxious when he heard this order, "Great Khan, if this happens, what should we do with the 100,000 people in front of the battle?"

Alsileng Khan glanced at Meng He calmly, and then said: "The matter has come to this, there is no other way but to sacrifice these men and horses so that the rest of our army can retreat safely. Otherwise, if the war continues, we will do it today

The entire army will be wiped out here."

After Meng He listened to Als Lenghan's words, he was silent for a long time and had no choice but to agree.

Although Meng He was resourceful and resourceful, he was not as decisive as Ars Lenghan. Therefore, when it came time to make a final decision, it was Als Lenghan who could rationally judge the situation and make a choice.

Ars Lenghan gave an order, and his cavalry in the camp didn't care about anything. They immediately organized their troops and hurriedly left the camp and fled north.

The cavalry in front of the formation who were still attacking Jia Ke's camp also felt that something was wrong. They heard shouts at first, but as the number of them became smaller and smaller, they themselves gradually weakened.

As a result, someone looked back and saw that the camp was empty. This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Tatar cavalry who attacked Jia Ke's camp immediately became a mess.

Seeing this situation, Jia Ke knew that the opportunity could not be missed, and immediately ordered the Eight Banners cavalry to be divided into two groups, with two sides outflanking them.

These Tatar cavalry originally wanted to escape, but were blocked by the Eight Banners cavalry. In the end, they had no choice but to dismount and surrender.

After Jia Ke received the report that the opponent had dismounted and surrendered, he thought for a moment and immediately ordered the musketeers to continue the attack, while the Eight Banners cavalry blocked the retreat.

The dismounted Tatars originally thought they were safe, but Jia Ke did not expect them to surrender, so they died one by one in despair under the constant bombardment of artillery and muskets.

Sun Yan, who was standing next to Jia Ke, couldn't bear to see this situation.

"Your Majesty, the Tatars have surrendered, so why kill the prisoners?"

"Sun Aiqing, you are a woman of kindness. The purpose of going north this time is to completely annihilate the Tatars. If you surrender these people, how will you eventually resettle them and make them slaves of the Eight Banners tribe? Don't you think the Eight Banners are now slaves?

Is it already powerful enough?"

Only when Sun Yan heard this did he understand Jia Ke's thoughts. Although the Eight Banners tribe is now following Jia Ke's orders, there will be a day when Jia Ke will be gone. When Jia Ke is gone, if the Eight Banners tribe is too strong, it will also

Forming a new threat, it is better to limit the number and strength of the Eight Banners now to avoid trouble in the future.

After Sun Yan thought about it, he silently stepped aside and stopped talking.

The battle ended in the evening, and then Jia Ke ordered people to count the results.

Sun Yan was mainly responsible for this matter. After evening, Sun Yan had already finished the matter and brought the documents to see Jia Ke.

"Your Majesty, the results of the battle have been counted."

"How is it? How many casualties do our troops have?"

"If I wish, our army did not suffer many casualties in this battle. Only more than 500 people were killed and more than 1,000 people were injured."

"What about the Tatars?"

Sun Yan couldn't stop smiling when he heard Jia Ke asking about the Tatar casualties.

"Long live the Tatars. This time, the Tatars suffered 100,000 casualties. Even if they don't have to break their muscles and bones this time, it will be enough for them."

Jia Ke was quite satisfied after hearing this. The casualty ratio of firearms to cold weapons was considered acceptable.

"Let the army rest for a day, and tomorrow the army will continue to move north."

After the army rested for a day, Jia Ke continued northward with his troops.

This time Jia Ke sent out all the cavalry of the Eight Banners, for no other reason than to find traces of Arsleng Khan's army.

Besides, Arslen Khan finally settled down by a pond after leading his remaining troops and defeating him, breaking away from contact with Jia Ke.

Next, Alslen Khan immediately summoned the leaders of each tribe to come to the big tent to discuss matters.

This time, the hands of the various tribes were not as hesitant as before. Als was stunned on Khan's side. As soon as the order was given, they all hurried to the big tent.

It seems that today's battle has frightened these people.

After Alsileng Khan entered the big tent, he saw the heads of the tribes below, all of whom had earth-colored faces and full of decadence. Even his chief think tank Meng He looked gloomy now.
