Chapter 572 Two kinds of waiting
Thousands of Tartars, holding war horses, with fatigue and chaos, walked towards their tents, preparing for rest time.:.../
A very dull roar suddenly reached their ears.
Just as they turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound, the sharp and very harsh whistling of shells followed directly and reached their ears.
The Tartars, who had fought many times with the Tiger and Leopard Army, were very familiar with this sound. His tired facial expression just now was directly covered by fear.
Before they could react, more than fifty flowering bullets were already roaring and smashing into their military camp.
The deafening explosion sounded just now in the Tartar barracks, and a large number of black smoke fireballs rose into the air from a chaotic ground.
Of course, as the fireball rises, there are various fragments that quickly spread around after the flowering bomb explodes.
The dense and hot fragments, sweeping over the hot waves, were like steel storms, swept across every Tartar in the barracks and the war horses under their crotch.
Under the flames generated by the explosion of the flowering bomb, it can be clearly seen that at the moment when more than fifty flowering bombs exploded, more than one hundred Tartars and the cavalry under their crotch were like kites with broken strings, and they fell directly to the ground and turned into corpses.
As for the remaining Tartars, especially those who witnessed the huge power of the flowering bomb, they seemed to have been petrified directly, standing in place without reacting for a long time.
However, this emotion did not last long and was interrupted by the whistling sound of the second round of flowering bullets that followed.
Faced with the violent explosions that kept ringing around you, and the hot air waves that kept sweeping towards you, and the ubiquitous blooming bullets in the air... In a chaotic military camp, there were dozens or hundreds of Tartars, who fell heavily to the ground with despair before their death, and their lives and death were uncertain.
As for the other Tartars, they reacted directly from petrochemicals as if they were stimulated. Then, with a look of horror on their faces, they ran around in the already very chaotic military camp. They hoped to find a corner where they could hide and escape the shelling.
Compared with the chaos of the Tartars, the war horses under their crotch became even more chaotic. Under the stimulation of firelight, explosions, and even death, the war horses that were just very docile were like crazy wild horses. They broke free from the reins of the war horses held by the Tartars and rushed around in the military camp at all costs.
In these already frightened war horses, they couldn't tell what to hit and what not to hit. In the chaotic military camp, as long as they were blocking in front of them, whether they were Tartar soldiers or tents that were very easy to run over and ignite... they were the targets of their rampage.
Therefore, when more and more war horses fell into madness under the stimulation of artillery fire, the same terrified Tartar soldiers were knocked away like toys in front of the crazy war horses, without any accident.
As for the chief generals of the Tartars, although they were very lucky, none of the flowering bullets that kept falling in the air hit them.
However, facing the rapid panic and chaos of the military camp, the heart of the Tartar general was even heavier than being hit by a flower bullet.
Because the Tartar general clearly saw that in the chaotic military camp, the number of Tartars killed and injured by war horses far exceeded the number of Tigers and Leopards killed and injured by flowering bullets with tigers and leopards.
In this case, the first reaction of the Tartar general was to stop this chaos. Otherwise, after all the thousands of war horses in the military camp were in chaos, the Tiger and Leopard Army did not need to continue firing artillery into the military camp. Those war horses alone would be enough to fat soldiers under their command and pay a very heavy price.
However, it is not easy to stop this chaos amid the continuous explosion of flowering bombs.
The first thing that the lord of Tartars thought was to order the soldiers under his command to quickly withdraw from the barracks. Only by getting rid of the shelling can the warriors under his command recover and control their already crazy horses.
However, when the general order to withdraw from the military camp was issued, no one responded in the huge military camp.
Of course, this was not the cause of the generals under the command of the main general, because these generals also wanted to withdraw from the barracks as soon as possible under the threat of death. Otherwise, no one would be sure that the already crazy war horse would directly hit him.
Facing the head general who was very anxious and gloomy in front of him, a Tartar general reported directly with regretful face: "General, the military camp is full of chaos now, and the orders cannot be passed on..."
"If we had known that the Tiger and Leopard Army would launch an attack on us, we shouldn't have relaxed our guard and ordered the soldiers to disband. If the warriors were still gathered together and were in a state of fighting, even if the artillery fire of the Tiger and Leopard Army was fierce, the soldiers under our command would not have become so chaotic..."
The main general directly retorted with a gloomy face: "Enough, shut up, is it still useful to say these things now?"
Amid the roar of the general, a group of his subordinates who were still unruly a little while ago were still unruly. At this moment, in front of death, they all lowered their high heads. At the same time, a deep regret also appeared on their faces.
Just after they were about to look forward to gathering all the Taoist lords. The gloomy face seemed to have made some decisions and directly spoke up to order.
"We can't stay here anymore, otherwise we will be killed by war horses if we are not bombed by artillery shells. I decided to break through immediately, evacuate Shanxi, return to the Later Jin Dynasty, and report the situation here to the Khan..."
"My generals, take your guards and scatter out immediately. Summon your subordinates among the riots. Call as many as you can. After that, you will decide the time and direction of the breakout, quickly leave the barracks, and start breaking through... We still have thousands of warriors. I believe that there will definitely be warriors who can break out and find the Khan..."
This decision of the chief general of the Tartars was definitely the most timely and wisest for the increasingly chaotic Later Jin army.
Because, in the continuous artillery attacks of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the longer they stay in the military camp, the less troops they can use to break through in the end.
If you don’t enter this way, you will take a very big risk in the night, but in the night, the powerful firearms of the Tiger and Leopard Army cannot burst out with great power.
Under such circumstances, this military order is undoubtedly the most wisest for the Later Jin army, which has less and less troops.
The sound of artillery continued and the increasingly chaotic battlefield, the Tartar generals who quickly scattered did not dare to stay among the riots for too long.
Therefore, after the command of the chief general was issued, everyone went in different directions, forming a straight line, and retreated directly outside the military camp.
As for how many subordinates you can follow you in the end, it depends on your luck.
When more than a dozen generals with the Tartars, they had to fight with their own soldiers, and they rushed out of the military camp with gods and gods. The Tartars following them had at most two hundred people.
The military camp with more than 4,000 Tartars and the same number of war horses finally rushed out, less than 2,000 people. As for the rest, they were still trapped in the military camp, waiting for death to come to them little by little.
Although the Tartars, who successfully rushed out of the military camp and had a look of surviving the disaster, was full of sympathy for the remaining Tartars in the military camp, these Tartars chose to survive without hesitation in the face of the two choices of death and survival. Under the leadership of their respective generals, they disappeared into the night without looking back, and began their hard-earned breakthrough.
Although Zhao Yun could not see the chaos in the Tartar barracks within the huge military formation of the Tiger and Leopard Army, the scene of the Tartars beginning to break through under the illumination of the fires still appeared clearly in front of Zhao Yun.
Faced with this change in front of him, Zhao Yun couldn't help but sigh: "When seeing the clear-headed generals in the Later Jin army, they knew that they would break through immediately and cut off their arm... However, whether they could break through the net of heaven and earth I set up for them depends on their fate."
"Since the main force of the Tartars has withdrawn from the military camp and begins to break through. In the chaotic military camp of the Tartars, the remaining Tartars are not worth fearing... Order the heavy artillery regiment to continue shelling the Tartars camp, killing them, and creating chaos. The third garrison regiments left to protect the heavy artillery regiments. The first and second 2 regiments will immediately start attacking and surround the Tartars camp. One of the Tartars comes out and kill one, and you must not let the Tartars continue to break through."
More than 4,000 Tartar cavalrymen were eliminated, more than 1,000 people who escaped from the barracks, and thousands who died among the riots, and those who were killed by war horses, and those who were hit and injured by war horses, in the end, two garrison regiments needed to take action, and not even a thousand people were even needed.
As the night slowly disappeared and the battlefield was shrouded in light again, there were almost no signs of activity in the vast military camp of the Tartars except for various screams and hisses.
As for the more than a thousand Tartars who rushed out of the military camp, they were intercepted by several garrison regiments. They were already depressed, except for a few Tartars who sneaked into the mountains and planned to hike back to the Later Jin Dynasty. All the remaining Tartars were eliminated on the way to break through.
The Later Jin army, which had less than 20,000 people, was unable to escape the destruction of the entire army after several days of plundering in Shanxi.
At this moment, Huang Taiji, who had tens of thousands of cavalry on the battlefield in Liaodong, was waiting for good news from the Central Plains with anxiety on his face.
Wei Zheng, who was confronting him, was also waiting. He didn't know that Shanxi had been attacked by the Tartars, and he was also anxious when the Later Jin army, who was facing confrontation with him, would lose food and when he could not hold on, and would take the initiative to fight with him to end the battle that had lasted for more than a month.
The only difference is that Huang Taiji's waiting was full of worries and unknowns. Because he didn't know whether his plan could be successful or whether the troops he sent out had the strength to complete the task.
Wei Zheng's waiting seemed to sit firmly on Diaoyutai. Because the Tiger and Leopard Army had sufficient grain reserves in the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, which was enough to support the Tiger and Leopard Army to fight a high-intensity battle that lasted for one or two years.
