Su Chu Text Volume Chapter 1677 Great Victory Chapter 1677 Great Victory

The tired horses rushed into the mine array, detonating several mines in an instant, and the perfect formation immediately became chaotic and scattered.

The explosion was also a signal that the enemy troops had entered the cross-firing zone, and the New Army soldiers on both sides of the carriages opened fire immediately.

At the same time, the 70mm smoothbore gun on the hillside hundreds of meters away in the rear also started shelling.

The grenades launched by the smoothbore cannons were fired into the cavalry formation at a terrifying high speed, and then detonated in the air under the stimulation of the delayed seal. Hundreds of small steel balls and shrapnel flew into the air, and the violent storm of steel swept away the life of an area in an instant.

Even the most powerful cold-weapon army will be defeated in vain in front of such a powerful position.

For this battle, Zhang Kai prepared for a year, marched for three months, and stayed for a month. When it came to the decisive battle, it took only a quarter of an hour.

In this quarter of an hour on the banks of the Talos River, half of the black sweat cavalry were killed. For several miles in front of the Song Army's position, the corpses of black cavalry and horses were lying.

The Black Khan's army collapsed, and those who followed Hassan and arrived here quickly were all elite light cavalry, the 'Iqta' with military merit.

They were all small local lords. They wore leather armor or chain mail and silk robes. Their weapons were mostly their own scimitars and spears, as well as bows and arrows, which were actually quite sophisticated.

But just because he was a small lord with a wife and children, his fighting spirit was not even as good as that of the refugee army incited by religious sentiments.

This horrific battle situation is easily reminiscent of heaven's punishment. When the Tugan cavalry lurking behind the car gathered behind Chao Guodong and began to charge, Hassan's remnant army abandoned them and was still screaming in a pool of blood.

His comrades-in-arms, as well as his own king, began to flee in all directions.

In fact, there was no need to take the initiative. The war horses frightened by the gunfire turned around and ran away.

This battle was really lackluster, and not a single hero emerged.

Neither the Song Army nor the Black Khan Army.

The only bright spot was probably when Chao Guodong was lamenting his pity for a majestic horse lying on the ground, a fat man suddenly sat up, startling him.

Hassan was immediately crushed by the blown-up horse and passed out. It was a blessing in disguise that he saved his life under the protection of the horse's corpse!

Hassan looked at the elegant young man in front of him wearing a cavalry breastplate, and then looked at the even more elegant Zhang Kai coming from behind, wearing a silk red robe, a black gauze headdress, and a silver belt around his waist.

I can't believe that a Song Dynasty man like this defeated his thousands of miles of cavalry in less than a moment.

However, the gentle Zhang Kai did not leave any backup plan at all, nor did he pause at all. He didn't even bother to clean the battlefield, and he didn't want to do anything. When the last ray of light fell on the horizon in the evening, he bit the man who had already received the favor from his father.

Ahmad who lost the news.

Zhang Kai also didn't give the frightened Ahmad any time to think, and directly launched the night battle!

With the same artillery fire clearing the way, Ahmad's army was instantly defeated by violent explosions and ubiquitous bullets.

The darkness has given countless people hope of survival, and their only wish is to escape from this area cursed by thunder.

After defeating Ahmad, Zhang Kai made a bold decision. He ordered Chao Guodong to lead the Tu cadres to station in Ahmad's camp, arrange defense, and let the new army disperse to pursue the fleeing Black Khan's heavy cavalry, while he found

I made a tent and went to sleep!

When I wake up in the morning, the overall situation has been decided.

The heavy cavalry cannot escape at all in the darkness. Without the servants, the heavy cavalry has difficulty getting on and off the horse. After daybreak, it becomes a pure target for the soldiers of the new army.

Only then did Chao Guodong understand Zhang Kai's evil heart. He wanted to let Hei Han ride on him again and fry him in the dark.

The servant army has all fled, and the remaining tin cans can only be reduced to prisoners!

The results of this battle were even more brilliant than yesterday. Fifteen thousand of the Black Khan's most elite heavy cavalry, including Prince Ahmed, became prisoners, and the remaining two thousand were killed.

More than 1,300, and more than 600 were lucky enough to successfully get out of the trap and disappear into the dark night.

In February of the seventh year of Yuanfeng, Guo Jingxiu easily crossed the river, joined forces with Zhang Kai, and besieged Balashagon!

The Lion King Ganbal was so frightened that he led his men and the remnants of the Black Khan Army to flee north to the Yili River, preparing to escape to the Dalinkul Sea. However, he ran into a hundred thousand troops led by Liu Changzuo, Tong Guan, and Jing Siyi.

!

Menggentulak and Jida screamed and led the two tribes of Zubu and Bai Ta. They rushed out, surrounded Ganbal's army and fired wildly. They began to use the liberties that were said to have been taught to the Tatars by Geriletu's childhood grandmother.

Kite tactics.

According to Tong Guan's wishes, the two troops were originally supposed to guard Beitingchuan, but they refused to do so. They said that only women and children were left in the two cities, and a thousand people in one city was enough. They wanted to follow their grandma and make meritorious deeds.

Considering that the cattle and sheep Tatars in the logistics were more playful, in the end Tong Guan pinched his nose and agreed.

Looking at the two Tatars who were as excited as chicken blood, Liu Changzuo couldn't help but twitched his lips and said to Tong Guan: "The two troops worked really hard to atone for the sins of the supervisor. They didn't even need any money..."

Tong Guan wanted to stand up to watch the battle, but he screamed "ouch" as he kept standing up. When he couldn't hold on anymore and sat back down, he screamed even more miserably and even shed tears in pain.

This child had a legal education in the army. After receiving the imperial court's decree to punish him, Tong Guan summoned the generals of the army. After reading it out, he drew his sword and was about to commit suicide.

They were so frightened that they yelled and stepped forward to seize the sword. The two strong men Mengntulak and Jida cried even more. Mengtulak hugged Tongguan's thigh and shouted, "It's our fault."

If you commit this crime, please kill us...

Jida also hugged Tong Guan's other thigh and shouted that the officials had said that they could be punished with meritorious service, so why did they have to behead their heads? It was not allowed, it was not allowed...

Tong Guan then sighed and said, "You two are guest soldiers and you don't understand the rules of the army. However, I am the supervisor of the army and Marshal Liu is the general. The fault can only be shouldered by us."

In this way, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven. Marshal Liu and I will each receive fifty pieces of board.

Liu Changzuo was a master of hard work. He rode horses and galloped for a long time, and his buttocks were so thick that he could take fifty beatings without any trouble.

Tong Guan couldn't do it anymore, and he had to march and carry it, which made his already overwhelmed butt even worse.

However, this incident also gave the two upright Tatars Mengturak and Jeddah a profound education, and they completely returned to their hearts.

The two of them made up their minds that if they encounter the enemy again, it is best to be on the battlefield. As long as we kill the enemy fiercely and give grandma more credit, the officials will definitely spare a good person like Tong LaoGrandma by doing meritorious deeds.

Isn't this bad thing just delivered to your door?

When the Tatar cavalry shows off its power, Ganbal suffers a terrible fate.

In the middle, Liu Changzuo only hit the formation once with his heavy cavalry, which completely dispelled the resistance of the Black Khan people.

The Tatars were like maggots attached to their bones, clinging to the Black Khan's army, but they did not get too close. They only used the strong bows and crossbows equipped by the Song Dynasty in their hands to shoot from a distance.

When the formation of the Black Khan's army was in chaos, they sent cavalry equipped with light vests and breastplates to charge into the formation.

Then, it was another pursuit of death and defeat.

Today's two Tatar cavalry are between light and heavy, focusing more on the front than on the rear. They are a variant of the Huanzhou bare-butt cavalry. However, compared with the heavy cavalry, the weight of the men and horses has been reduced by nearly half. Compared with the light cavalry without armor protection,

But it also has strong frontal protection.

This kind of equipment makes the Tatar men very satisfied. The backs have to be bare and exposed to the enemy. They are not men in the first place and deserve to be shot to death!

Ganbal's remnant army did not have heavy cavalry. It was mainly composed of Gulam, Iqta's defeated servant army and the civilian refugee army. It was not a team that could fight against the wind. It encountered the Tatars who were like locusts.

, no considerable combat power.

None of the new troops came, and the two Tatars became the main force in this battle.

The two troops pursued him for six hundred miles, and finally completely surrounded Ganbal on the seaside of Dalincourt.

Ganbal had already learned that the two tribes had massacred his own people, and he refused to surrender. He was assassinated by Radro, the general of the Black Khan army, and then led his troops to surrender.

On the first day of March in the seventh year of Yuanyou, the spring breeze blew away the poisonous water, and on the thin ice on the Yili River, the Northern and Southern Expeditionary Forces of the Song Dynasty met in victory at Balashagon.

Three hundred thousand troops cheered and shouted, and the sound of victory shook the heaven and the earth.

Zhang Kai, the envoy of Hexi Province, Liu Changzuo, the protector of the Western Regions, and Tong Guan, the military supervisor, jointly submitted the memorial. Wang Shiquan accepted the black sweat. The two countries of Xizhou expanded their territory for eight thousand miles, and the furthest territory reached the Khorezm Sea!

The Lion King was killed in Dalin Kulhai, the Black Khan King Hassan, and Prince Ahmed surrendered as prisoners of war. The king's army returned in triumph and will be sent to the capital soon!

In this battle, the Song Dynasty captured two large countries in the Western Regions, totaling more than 60 cities, more than tens of millions of gold and treasures, millions of horses, and a population of 1.4 million!
