This explosion is slightly smaller than the sound of artillery, but its power cannot be underestimated.
Tuotuo Buhua saw with his own eyes that a dozen soldiers were blown away by the impact of the air wave and fell far away in front of him.
What's going on?
Didn’t the Ming army’s artillery misfire?
Then, he saw something flying over in the air, and then it exploded!
He was completely stunned. Could it be possible that the cannonballs could still be thrown by hand?
This thing was originally a gift given to Totuo Buhua by the Ming army. Because it was cut off by the great shaman Ulupusi, Tuotuo Buhua finally had no chance to see it.
Not to mention that he has never seen it, even in the capital, there are very few people who know this kind of weapon.
Because grenades, a new type of firearm, were only successfully tested before the army went out for battle.
When Li Shulin invented the landmine, but was unable to overcome the triggering mechanism, Zhu Qizhen simply gave him another idea, which was to improve it into a throwable grenade.
Before the army set out for the expedition, a total of only 500 pills were produced. The original plan was to equip them with the main army. However, after Chen Mao and Jing Yuan talked hard, they were each allocated 100 pills.
These one hundred grenades are my secret weapons, and they will not be revealed easily unless at a critical moment.
The Tatars formed a very dense formation, and when grenades were thrown at them, they suffered heavy casualties.
Several grenades fell next to the big banner, and with a roar, the big banner collapsed.
Now, the Tatars were completely panicked.
As soon as the big banner fell, the last line of defense in the hearts of the soldiers collapsed instantly, and they began to retreat involuntarily.
The Ming army took the opportunity to launch a general offensive. Everyone was highly motivated and fought hard to kill.
Tuotuo couldn't wait to see that the situation was over, so he had no choice but to order the withdrawal.
The cavalry on both wings were fighting with the Ming army, but for some reason, the Ming army became more and more fierce as they fought.
At this time, someone finally discovered that it was the Chinese army that had withdrawn.
The army was defeated like a mountain!
In the pouring rain, the Tatars completely lost their fighting spirit and turned around and ran away. The Ming army pursued them for dozens of miles until the sky completely darkened, and then they withdrew their troops.
Under the cover of his personal guards, Tuotuo Buhua fled for his life, and he didn't know how far he ran. It wasn't until the sky brightened and he found that the Ming army had not caught up, that he lowered the tight string.
The rain has stopped, and there is mud everywhere on the grassland.
Finally, he found a relatively high ground, gathered up the remaining troops, and rested on the spot. However, he found that more than half of the 100,000 troops he had brought out had been killed or wounded, and there were only less than 50,000 defeated troops left. They were all as miserable as mud monkeys. The Chinese army was the first to retreat. Relatively speaking, the casualties on both wings were more serious.
Agabarji died in the battle, and out of the 20,000 people on the left wing, less than 5,000 were left.
The troops on the right wing were slightly better. After counting, there were still more than 8,000 people left.
I saw Mantulu with an angry face as he came forward to argue with Tuo Tuo Bu Hua.
"Both wings are fighting to the death, why does the Chinese army want to withdraw?"
Tuotuo Buhua frowned and said: "The Ming army's firearms are so powerful that the Chinese army can't resist them!"
"With such heavy rain, where did the firearms come from?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua was also very angry. The Ming army's artillery was extinguished, but who knew their muskets could still fire!
What’s even more unexpected is, what kind of explosive bombs are thrown with bare hands?
This time, we really suffered a huge loss. More than half of our 100,000 soldiers and horses were lost. How will the Tatar tribe gain a foothold on the grassland in the future?
The Wara tribe is already powerful. If they know that they have lost troops and generals, they will definitely take advantage of the situation to seize power. I am afraid that I will not be able to keep the name of the Great Khan.
Thinking of this, he suddenly asked: "Yexian Taishi and the main force of the Ming army fought in Yumuchuan, how was the battle going?"
Mandulu was stunned for a moment and said, "I don't know!"
Tuotuo Buhua suddenly fell into deep thought. In yesterday's confrontation, he had seen how powerful the Ming army was. This was just a partial division with very limited equipment. It is conceivable that Yumuchuan's main force would only be stronger, not weaker.
.
In this case, Ye Xian's life will definitely not be any easier.
No, we can’t fight anymore!
If the fight continues, the remaining 50,000 troops and horses will not be saved.
Now that things have come to an end, let’s run!
Run north, as far as possible. When the Ming army withdraws, you will still have your own world on the grassland.
As for the Oara tribe... forget it, let them fend for themselves, there is nothing more they can do!
Mantulu saw that Tuotuo was silent for a long time and couldn't help but asked: "Dahan, what's the next fight?"
"Mantulu, do you think we can defeat this Ming army?"
"This..."
Mandulu was stunned for a moment and said: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight head-on. However, we will join forces with Grand Master Yexian and defeat them one by one."
Tuo Tuo Bu Hua slowly shook his head and said, "We are joining forces with Wala. Could it be that the Ming army won't join forces?"
"Then... let's retreat first. The grassland is our territory. The Ming army is going deep into the north. Supply is a problem. We can send troops to harass their supply lines, or simply delay them to see how much food and grass they can consume!" "That's a good idea!"
Tuotuo Buhua raised his head and asked: "How many cavalry do we have on hand?"
Mantulu sighed and said: "Most of them are injured, and I'm afraid there won't be more than 10,000 who can continue to fight."
After thinking deeply for a moment, Tuotuo Buhua said: "Since we are going to attack the Ming army's food road, the number of people should not be too large. Let's go and select three thousand elites and go back to the rear of the Ming army to cut off their supplies."
Mandulu nodded and said: "Yes!"
"Remember, when you encounter the main force of the Ming army, you must not attack head-on. You must avoid its sharp edge and drag them to death!"
Mandulu bowed, turned and left.
After counting three thousand elites from the remaining cavalry, they heard a noise of people and horses neighing, and walked eastward on the muddy grass.
Tuotuo Buhua ordered the troops to gather up and continue heading north.
This battle was fought in an extremely embarrassing manner, all supplies and supplies were lost, and even eating was a problem.
We can only keep sending out scouts to find nearby tribes and collect food and grass again.
The herdsmen along the way were in dire straits. The army had already collected grain and grass once before setting off, and each tribe had very little left. Now the 50,000-strong army was like locusts passing through the border. Wherever it went, there was not even a single piece of wool left.
Tuotuo Buhua fled all the way north, but little did he know that the Ming army did not pursue him at all.
Therefore, when Mandulu returned to the rear of the Ming army, he found that the main force was building a camp.
He did not dare to confront the main force of the Ming army head-on, so he continued to circle back, only to find that the area from Shenyang to Kaiyuan was heavily guarded, and there was no chance at all.
At the same time, convoys continued to leave Shanhaiguan from the Central Plains and headed towards Kaiyuan. It seemed that the Ming army did not intend to leave.
Brother, we are at war. Instead of chasing Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, are you doing construction here?
What are you doing!
