Any Mongolian and Yuan official soldiers who were overtaken were immediately chopped to the ground and lost their lives.
There is no mercy, no tolerance.
Apart from running away, there is no chance of survival!
Only by seizing the opportunity to board the ferry can you escape with your life!
The river was so cold that it was almost impossible for the Tartars to swim across it.
With the help of Xu Cunhou and Ma Bao, Timur was the first to climb onto the ferry.
This small boat can only carry six or seven people, but at this time, there are at least twenty people clinging to the boat and refusing to let go.
Xu Cunhou and Ma Bao stood in the river water up to their waists, pushing hard against the other defeated soldiers, trying to shake them off, but it was not possible for the moment.
In addition, the defeated soldiers who robbed the ship also had the same idea, and some even became fierce and began to beat their companions next to them.
When Timur saw this, he knew that if he continued like this, no one would be able to escape when the red scarf thieves came after him.
"Mabao, grab my hand and climb up!" Timur suddenly shouted.
This is not because Timur is kind-hearted, but because he cannot row a boat at all. Without Ma Bao and Xu Cunhou, he would not be able to escape.
Ma Bao and Xu Cunhou climbed onto the ferry one after another.
However, more and more Mongolian and Yuan soldiers came to fight for the ferry.
The ferry that was being fought for was shaking so badly that Timur sat on it and couldn't even sit still.
"Smash their fingers!" Ma Bao suddenly shouted.
When Tamerlane heard this, he immediately used the scabbard of his saber to hit the fingers of the defeated soldiers who were holding on to the gang of ships.
Some people felt the pain and let go, some went crazy and refused to let go, and some people became so angry that they began to draw their swords and try to attack Timur.
At this moment, louder and louder shouts of killing came.
A larger group of Mongolian and Yuan soldiers ran down the reed swamps, followed closely by some Red Turban troops on horseback.
These Red Scarf Army cavalry are the brave cavalry led by Xu Da.
They pursued Meng Yuan's defeated troops unscrupulously.
As more defeated troops came in, the small boat that Timur and the three had just snatched immediately became the prey of more people.
A dense crowd of broken soldiers surrounded the boat, with countless hands clinging to the side of the boat. Everyone tried to climb onto the ferry, but no one could do so.
The three of Timur were shaken to pieces on the boat. Facing the crazy zombie-like troops, Timur already had an ominous premonition.
If this continues, the ferry will be capsized by the defeated troops, and Timur and the others will fall into the water.
As the Red Scarf Army's pursuers got closer and closer, the Tartars' rout began to go completely crazy.
Seeing that the pursuing Red Turban Army was about to arrive.
The anxious Timur immediately yelled.
"Draw the knife!"
Timur then chopped off the fingers that were grabbing at the side of the ship.
Xu Cunhou and Ma Bao also woke up immediately.
They all took out their sabers and slashed off the fingers on the sides of the ship.
"ah!"
"ah!!"
The shrill screams sounded immediately.
The defeated soldiers who had their fingers cut off immediately screamed in agony.
After the broken soldier in the innermost position lost his fingers, he was pushed behind him by the defeated soldiers behind him.
After the newly surging troops broke off their fingers, they were followed by the troops behind them in the same way.
Timur's eyes were red, and he numbly chopped off the fingers of the defeated soldiers.
Finally, there were no more broken soldiers tugging at the side of the ship.
Xu Cunhou and Ma Bao immediately used their oars to paddle toward the other side of the Baigou River.
Timur slumped down as if frustrated, and the narrow boat was filled with bright red blood and severed fingers.
These severed fingers were so densely packed that they almost covered the entire boat.
Timur's face turned pale as he looked at these densely packed fingers.
The owners of these fingers are all Mongolian warriors who have fought with me for many years!
But Xu Cunhou, who was rowing, was both smiling.
"Haha, I finally escaped!" Xu Cunhou said with a laugh.
"These grass thieves are really fierce!" Ma Bao looked frightened.
At this time, the three people's boat had reached the middle of the river, and the pursuers' bows and arrows had no way to deal with them.
Now even without rowing, they can float along the current to the other side.
Xu Cunhou and Ma Bao saw the severed fingers in the boat.
The two of them picked up a handful of severed fingers and threw them into the Baigou River.
Timur burst into tears when he came back to his senses.
"The great Mongol warriors are in all directions, but I didn't expect that today they would be defeated by Zhu Chong's eight little thieves!"
"If I don't avenge this revenge, I, Timur, will never be a human being!"
In the Battle of Shayuan, most of the nearly 10,000 Mongolian Yuan troops were lost.
The fire lit by Zhu Han in the rear blocked the retreat of the Mongolian and Yuan troops, and all the defeated troops ran to the Baigou River.
Pursued by the rebels behind them, these panicked soldiers jumped into the cold river water, hoping to escape to the other side.
However, most Mongolians are not accustomed to water. They sink to the bottom almost as soon as they enter the water, drowning and feeding the fish and turtles.
"about there!"
Zhu Yuanzhang watched the battle coming to an end and issued the last order.
"Send the order! Those who kneel down and surrender will not be killed!"
"Those who kneel down and surrender will not be killed!"
With shouts one after another, the remaining Mongolian and Yuan soldiers gave up resistance and fled, and knelt down one by one to surrender.
"Marshal Du, these are all running dogs of the Tatars, why not kill them?" Sun Deya looked unconvinced.
These Haozhou commanders all killed very well.
Taking advantage of this great victory, the subordinates developed their courage like chopping melons and vegetables.
This soldier who has killed people on the battlefield is far better than a rookie who has never seen blood.
But when they were about to kill Xingtou, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to stop.
"Deputy Commander Sun, take a look, all the real Tatar soldiers are dead, and the rest are us Han people who have been kidnapped!" Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.
Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and others looked over.
Sure enough, almost all the soldiers who surrendered on the battlefield were Huaixi men who were forced to work for the Tatars.
Except for those who died on the battlefield, all the originally arrogant Mongolian cavalry were driven into the Baigou River and drowned.
"We are not afraid of killing, but we must not kill indiscriminately. Wouldn't it be better to make these Huaixi men our own?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued.
After hearing this, Guo Zixing, Sun Deya and other powerful commanders all thought it made sense.
Soon, there was no fighting on the entire battlefield, and all that was left were rebel soldiers happily cleaning the battlefield.
After this battle, the Yuan soldiers near Haozhou were no longer able to counterattack in a short period of time. Moreover, this group of Daruhuachi Mongolian soldiers, who were originally going to Yingzhou to participate in the suppression of Liu Futong's Red Turban Army, were now annihilated.
This later helped relieve a lot of pressure on Liu Futong.
