If it were the Tatars at other times, they would have developed enough confidence in the long-term battles with the Ming army.
Face the current situation with your nostrils turned upward, and you will act spontaneously without even thinking about it or giving orders.
Along the slope and entrance that were blasted out in front of Suifeng Pier, people rushed in like a tidal wave.
It's different now. It's obvious that you can rush up by running along the slope for a few steps; but facing such an easy victory, even the Tatars who are closest to there don't dare to act, and they are very hesitant in their hearts.
Got up.
Until now, Hu Biao and others have proved something through practice.
Among them, the one that impressed the Tatars the most was:
The Ming army in Suifengdun will never be like the Nikan in other places, which will be quickly defeated as soon as they formally engage in battle. Instead, they will definitely hold on to the last man.
What's more important is that they don't know how many deadly defensive equipment Hu Biao and the others still have in their hands.
When I thought about all the lime powder, kerosene, poisonous smoke, explosions and other encounters they had faced in the past, my heart started to tingle unconsciously.
God knows how many weird but deadly things these Nikans have in their hands are waiting for them.
Just thinking about this, that kind of respect for the army that almost comes from the soul, makes their legs a little unruly and they dare not rush up at all.
The subsequent changes were the last straw that broke their persistence.
Amidst the hesitation of these Tatars, several Ming army sword and shield bearers soon blocked the gap, and then there were several Ming army soldiers at the back, with sharp spears raised in their hands.
All of a sudden, a flesh-and-blood defense line was formed in the gap in this way.
Without exception, these people's bodies and shields were filled with sharp arrows, but their formation remained unchanged.
And the guy who should be the leader of the garrison held a torch in one hand and a cloth bag that they remembered vividly in his other hand.
He yelled at them crazily: "Come on, come on, keep coming if you can."
Among the Tatars in front of the pier, there were actually not many who could understand Chinese.
But at such a time, just by looking at Hu Biao's posture, they could figure out what the roar in each other's mouth meant.
When I saw Hu Biao holding the cloth bag in one hand and lighting the torch in the other hand, it was like lighting a two-legged kick.
The huge sense of fear caused by the last explosive charge finally overwhelmed the Tatar attackers, their last psychological defense line.
Yu Ding, the Tatar who was closest to Hu Biao, trembled all over, dropped a long knife in his hand, turned around and started running wildly.
He didn't want to be killed by this thing, and now his mind was completely blank, and he couldn't care about all the consequences.
When Fen Bashku, a low-level Tatar officer, saw this, he originally wanted to draw out the throwing gun he was carrying on his back and kill this cowardly guy with one shot to prevent further incidents from happening.
But it was too late. Yu Ding's escape quickly aroused the fear of more people.
Then more Tatars turned around and ran away, including not only Yu Ding, but also Niulu Zhongbu Jia, and even Ma Jia and other Zhengding warriors.
Now it's like saying that no matter what he does, it's too late.
In great desperation, Bashiku, who was assigned to the group, had to retreat with the flow of people.
At the moment when he retreated, he felt a huge sense of relief in his heart; the opponent in front of him was so strong that it filled his heart with fear.
It's just that as a well-known strong man in Niulu, his last persistence made him endure it and did not show this cowardice.
After seeing this scene, the commander of the Tatar army, Baiyintu, originally wanted to say something.
But when his throat became hot, he immediately vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and fell down with his head held high.
Before he completely lost consciousness, he heard a series of anxious voices shouting "Master, Master" from what must have been my personal guards in his ears...
At the same time, looking at the Tatars receding like the tide, Hu Biao's eyes also darkened, his body swayed, and he almost fell to the ground on the spot.
To be honest, at this time, he has reached the end of his strength.
The fierce battle, the huge consumption of physical and mental energy, and the wounds on his body that were not dealt with in time, made him quite weak now.
However, he also knew that he must not fall at such a time, otherwise the morale of the Tatars, who had just collapsed, might improve again.
Once the attack is launched again, the current good situation will be ruined immediately.
So when his vision went dark, he bit his lip hard with his teeth, using the severe pain to cheer himself up.
Fortunately, Hu Biao stood up straight again in the blink of an eye, and the panicked Tatar side did not notice such a small and fleeting situation.
*******
I don't know how long it took, but third-class Viscount Bai Yintu, a member of the Tatar clan, finally woke up slowly.
After opening his eyes, he could see that he was lying in a tent in front of him, surrounded by his subordinates Niulu Ezhen, Boshiku, and soldiers.
Even Fu Chaheng, who had been unconscious before, woke up and looked at him nervously like everyone else.
Remembering what happened before he fell into coma, he immediately asked a question. After opening his mouth, his voice was so hoarse that even he was a little surprised:
"What time is it now, and how long have I been unconscious?"
"Master, you haven't fainted for long. It's about three quarters past noon." After hearing this, a soldier quickly answered.
Then after this question and answer, everyone in the tent fell silent for a long time.
It seemed like no one knew what to say at the same time.
After they looked at each other in private and reached some consensus, the men led by the two surviving Niu Lu Ezhen suddenly fell to their knees on the ground and began to beg:
"Master, we can't continue the fight, otherwise all the warriors in Niulu under our command will be defeated. What will we do in the future?"
He knew that the morale of his warriors had been defeated by the Ming troops in Suifengdun.
If he had sent his men to suppress him in time before he fainted, he could have stopped such a rout and drove them to continue the attack.
I believe that after a few more people die, we will definitely be able to capture this place.
Just beat it down? There is no more benefit besides venting your anger.
During the period when he fainted, he clearly felt the number of casualties. When his subordinates saw the miserable state of others, they were completely unable to fight after they realized what they were doing.
I don’t think it’s necessary, so I’ll keep fighting here.
Among them, the most obvious one with such a thought is if Fu Chaheng is so awesome.
After repeatedly attacking with no results, he had lost confidence, and now he finally realized that if he really killed all his warriors here, he would be the sinner of the entire Niulu after he returned.
At this moment, the shortcomings of insufficient population on the Tatar side were clearly revealed.
Seeing this, Baiyintu could only accept the reality and thought of some subsequent arrangements for the army; first, retreating from Suifeng Dun was a certainty.
This defeat in the battle will definitely become a huge stain on his life.
Secondly, even if you retreat, you cannot go back immediately; otherwise, with the current low morale of the army, it may not be able to recover for a long time.
Some other methods must be used to restore morale.
For example, to plunder and kill, ruthlessly kill a group of sheep-like Nikan people, and rob them of their food, money, women, and everything else.
Let the warriors under your command boost their morale again.
After thinking of this, he began to give instructions one by one:
"Zhao Te, your Niulu has basically no losses. Now continue to set off along the road as the vanguard of the army; remember, you will not leave any fortified city alone, just leave a few people to watch.
As long as I find people in other villages, I will attack them. If there are any resisters, I will kill them all.
We took away all the people, supplies, and large animals, and finally gave me a fire to burn all those villages and forts, so that they would know how powerful we are.
The others followed with the corpses of the wounded and warriors, but as for the corpses under the pier, we left them alone."
Under such an order, the eyes of the Tatars present lit up one after another, and even the expressions on their faces were full of cruelty, and their morale suddenly improved a lot.
The next actions finally returned to the rhythm they were familiar with.
