Chapter 298 The Huge Jingguan Appeared Deep in the Prairie
Ma Shoucheng was also shocked when he saw the scene on the battlefield in front of him.
This new type of artillery is also too powerful. It is so much smaller than the cast iron bomb of the trebuchet, but its damage is more than ten times that of the cast iron bomb!
This thing is too sharp!
I originally thought that these Mongolian cavalry might find artillery positions on their side.
In order to prevent them from rushing to kill, the [-] musketeers prepared were not needed at all, and it seemed that the [-] Mongolian cavalry had been completely wiped out.
Most of the Mongolian cavalry below have been killed by artillery and their frightened horses.
Ma Shoucheng felt that there was no need to wait any longer, so he ordered the artillery to cease fire, and waved the flag to order the [-] cavalry in the west to attack directly, covering and killing those Qiyan cavalry who had already suffered more than half of their casualties due to the shelling and their frightened horses.
When the cavalry of the [-] Changsheng Battalion ambushing in the west rushed out from the hiding place a few miles away, brandishing their knives, the ambush was basically over.
The remaining 1 are still riding on their horses, trying to scold the Qiyan cavalry who tried to control the frightened horses under their crotches, seeing the [-] Song Changsheng Battalion cavalry rushing out from the west, the last bit of fighting courage in their hearts It was destroyed in an instant.
Many cavalry soldiers of the Qiyan tribe no longer controlled the horses they were sitting on, and began to let them lead them to gallop back the way they came.
The [-] Song cavalry army was automatically divided into two parts, [-] cavalry rushed to kill the remaining Mongolian cavalry on the battlefield, and the other [-] cavalry rushed to chase and kill the Mongolian cavalry who were fleeing to the north.
The [-] cavalrymen of the Qiyan tribe had a very miserable and aggrieved ending. Because of Batu's great success, they and their horses didn't have much rest, so they were brought into the ambush circle of the Changsheng Battalion.
The remaining Qiyan cavalry on the battlefield who had no time to escape were quickly hacked and killed by the cavalry of the Changsheng Battalion who had killed them.
Because they knew that those who attacked King Zhenbei last time were those sent by the Mongolian Qiyan tribe, so the cavalry troops of the Changsheng Battalion did not accept their surrender at all.
In less than a quarter of an hour, these Qiyan cavalry who had no time to escape because their horses were out of control were all killed!
Then the ten thousand cavalry left behind nearly a thousand wounded soldiers, and chased and killed them towards the north.
Pity the thousands of cavalry of the Qiyan tribe who fled north. Because they had traveled two hundred miles before and their horses did not get a good rest, they entered the ambush circle of the Changsheng Battalion, and their horses were frightened by artillery fire.
After fleeing to the north for less than a hundred miles, some war horses were frightened and began to foam at the mouth, unable to run, and even if they could run, their speed dropped sharply.
The cavalry of the Changsheng Battalion who were chasing after them quickly caught up, hacking and killing the escaped Mongolian cavalry from behind to the front, still refusing to surrender, killing all of them!
At this time, Ma Shoucheng had already ordered the [-] soldiers who had left their horses in the camp to go back to the camp and ride on their horses, arresting the frightened horses and helping to clean up the battlefield.
At the same time, Ma Shoucheng asked the Huotou soldiers who had just prepared meals to immediately send meals to the soldiers who returned to the camp. After everyone took turns eating, they immediately set out to chase those who fled north from the Qiyan tribe in front.
Soon, the [-] cavalry who attacked killed all the Mongolian cavalry who had fled north, and returned to the camp with the captured horses and trophies to wash and eat.
Before dark, all the people waited to eat and drink enough, and broke out of camp to chase north.
After walking fifty miles, everyone saw the empty camp left by Batu and the others.
Ma Shoucheng discussed with his generals, and decided to leave all the wounded soldiers in the previous battle, and leave another [-] cavalry to protect them.
There were less than 2000 of these wounded soldiers, and most of them were slightly injured. Originally, those who were slightly injured did not want to stay, and planned to follow and hunt down the North Fleeing Qiyan Department.
However, Ma Shoucheng forced all these wounded soldiers to stay, even if they were physically injured, and left two thousand cavalry to protect these wounded soldiers.
After leaving the wounded soldiers behind, the speed of the cavalry of the Changsheng Battalion increased greatly, and it took only one night to catch up to the place less than fifty miles behind the migrating brigade of the Qiyan tribe.
Ma Shoucheng ordered everyone to dismount and rest, feed the war horses with fodder and water, and the people also quickly ate some marching rations and rested.
I learned that there were a lot of people in the team of the Qiyan tribe moving north, and there were many carts pulling all their belongings and a large number of cattle and sheep, so that they could only travel more than 30 miles a day.
After understanding these situations, Ma Shoucheng stopped worrying and ordered his men to take a good rest, and then attacked the Qiyan Department after all the men and horses had rested.
After Ma Shoucheng and the tens of thousands of people had a complete rest, the people from the Qiyan Department in front walked eighty miles away.
After a full meal, Ma Shoucheng led the cavalry of less than [-] Changsheng Battalion, and went straight to the north to kill them.
This battle can no longer be called a battle, it can only be regarded as a massacre!
The entire Qiyan tribe, as well as some other small tribes who were coerced to join them, add up to a total of 9 or [-] people, and they are all old and weak, women and children.
The young and strong followed Temujin to conquer other tribes, and it was too late to come back.
This time, Ma Shoucheng did not kill young, strong, old, weak, women and children like Changshengying did before.
This time it was different, these people from the begging department actually directed their attention to Zhenbei King Xiao Qi, which made the entire Changsheng camp from top to bottom determined to kill these people.
The massacre lasted for several hours. In the depths of the prairie, the Qiyan tribe's migration route stretched for more than ten miles, and the bodies of the killed Qiyan tribe were everywhere.
When cleaning the battlefield after the war, the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion asked Ma Shoucheng to pile up these people into a Jingguan, so as to warn the people of the world that anyone who dared to attack the King of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter who they were, would end up like this.
Originally, Ma Shoucheng thought that King Zhenbei had issued a military order, and Duijingguan must have enough lime to prevent the plague from happening.
But after thinking about it, the land here is sparsely populated and the weather is about to turn cold, so the plague should not happen.
Besides, this is not a gathering place for people from the Song Dynasty, so my heart beats, fuck it!
Then pile up Jingguan!
So the soldiers emptied all the oxcarts of the begging tribes, leaving some people to pick valuable trophies, and burned the rest of the worthless tents and the like.
Use those bullock carts to gather the corpses from all over the place and pile them up!
In order to pile up the Jingguan to the maximum, the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion specially dispatched some ox carts to pull over the corpses of the [-] cavalry soldiers from the Qiyan tribe on the battlefield hundreds of miles away.
When the Jingguan was being piled up, the [-] soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion who were transporting supplies, food and grass behind also arrived.
Ma Shoucheng asked these soldiers to unload all the supplies brought on the carriages to the big camp a hundred miles away, and then use these carts to send the wounded and dead soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion back to Song Dynasty.
The four-wheeled carriages of their Changsheng Battalion are all equipped with springs and rubber tires, and the bumps on the road are much smaller. It is very suitable to transport these wounded soldiers back.
Although all the people in the Qiyan tribe were killed this time, Ma Shoucheng also had a new understanding of the cruelty of these nomads.
I fought against the 3 cavalry of Batu's begging tribe before, because I used artillery to ambush them until I killed those 1000 people. I only injured more than [-] people on my side, and less than three people died in battle. Hundred.
But when these 10,000+ old and weak women and children were killed, a thousand cavalry soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion were killed and more than [-] people were injured. These nomadic women were also very tough, and they all risked their lives. style of play.
If it weren't for the cavalry troops of the Changsheng Battalion on my side who have practiced swords for many years, I am afraid that this battle would have at least tens of thousands of casualties!
Knowing that these people were just the old and weak women and children in the Qiyan tribe's lair, there were about [-] strong men in total. In addition to the [-] killed by him, there were [-] to [-] Mongolian cavalry who were unknown where they were.
In order to prevent his wounded soldiers from being attacked on the road, Ma Shoucheng specially sent [-] cavalry escorts, and also mixed [-] mortars and enough shells in the escort team.
Sure enough, Ma Shoucheng's guess was right. After Temujin learned that the Batu and [-] cavalry he had sent, as well as the clansmen who had moved north to their lairs, had all been killed, and were piled up into a Beijing temple by the Song people, Temujin ran and jumped like crazy. thunder.
After learning that the Song Dynasty sent a cavalry army of 2 people to escort the injured Changsheng Battalion soldiers back to the Song Dynasty, they actually led the [-] to [-] Mongolian troops in person, intending to intercept the team halfway and beg for their beauty. Revenge all the dead tribesmen!
I don't know if Temujin was dazzled by hatred, or if he felt that his [-] to [-] Mongolian cavalry were destined to eat up the [-] Changsheng Battalion cavalry that escorted the wounded.
Along the way, he unabashedly rushed towards the team escorting the wounded soldiers.
It's a pity that all this was quickly detected by the Changsheng Battalion scouts sent by Ma Shoucheng to look for them.
Ma Shoucheng knew that this was a prairie, and the enemies the scouts encountered were all grown up on horseback. For their safety, all the scout teams sent out were one person and three horses.
In this way, whether it is reporting news or encountering the opponent's brigade fleeing for their lives, their scouts will not be surprised because of the physical strength of the horses.
Discovering that Temujin, the Mongolian army, intended to attack the team transporting the wounded soldiers, the scouting team immediately divided into two groups, one group went to report to Ma Shoucheng, and the other group ran to warn the team escorting the wounded soldiers.
After receiving the warning from the scouts, the Changsheng Battalion cavalry escorted by [-] soldiers immediately chose a mound to camp, and dug a trench outside the mound.
Let the slightly injured soldiers and the [-] cavalry who abandoned their horses use new muskets to kill the invading Mongolian cavalry in the trenches. This method was also told to the leading general by Ma Shoucheng before leaving.
Fifty mortars were erected behind these trenches, ready to shell the invading Mongolian cavalry.
The remaining [-] cavalry troops were all waiting behind. If the Mongolian cavalry rushed through the trenches in front, they would rush forward to fight the Mongols.
If these incoming Mongolian cavalry were shelled like last time, and their horses were frightened, causing them to suffer heavy casualties, then the fifteen thousand cavalry would rush out to kill their mothers.
Because the scouts of the Changsheng Camp are very capable of inquiring about news, and they are alone, which bought them nearly a day of preparation time.
Moreover, the scouts clearly told them that someone else had reported to General Ma Shoucheng at the same time. I believe that General Ma Shoucheng would arrive with reinforcements in a short time.
Immediately after the start of the war, Temujin understood why the [-] Mongolian cavalry they had been invincible on this prairie were wiped out by the entire army killed by the Song army.
Because he saw very clearly that the [-] Mongolian cavalry sent by him to launch the first round of attack were attacked by the mysterious weapons of the Song people as soon as they ran a mile away from the Song people.
That thing is really terrifying, like countless thunders exploding among his [-] Mongolian cavalry!
In just a few breaths, the [-] Mongolian cavalry on his side were in chaos. In addition to being seriously injured by the thunder-like thing, Temujin was even more shocked. The horses were all killed by the continuous thunder. Shocked!
Many Mongolian cavalry who were not affected by the thunderstorm were thrown to the ground by the startled horses under their crotches. There were frightened horses running around everywhere, and many Mongolian warriors who fell under the horses on the ground were killed by the horses on their side. Trampled to death, it's too miserable!
Seeing that the Song army on the opposite side was still releasing that kind of thunder-like thing continuously, Tie Muzhen hurriedly gave the order to blow the horn to retreat, telling them to retreat.
It's a pity that the horn for retreat was sounded, and the Mongolian cavalry heard it, but the frightened horses were not under the control of their masters, and they were still running around.
Some uncontrolled horses led the cavalry going north, and rushed straight to the camp on the Song Army's mound.
As a result, as soon as they ran to their camp, there was a mess of firecrackers in front of the Song Army camp, and the soldiers who rushed over were killed on horseback in a blink of an eye.
It was only at this time that Temujin realized that he was careless. He should not have figured out how the Song people fought, so he brought a large army and killed them.
Deliberately charged over with the remaining 4 riders, but Temujin knew that those things that exploded like thunder would explode among his 4 people.
Then my 4 horses will also end up like the 2 horses in front.
Just when Temujin was hesitating whether to risk his life with these Song people, or to take these people away and make plans.
Suddenly, a scout from the Qiyan Department came to report that the Song army had arrived hundreds of miles away from here.
Temujin was shocked!
Could it be that the Song people were right, I would attack their team of wounded soldiers, and they deliberately dug a trap for me here?
Looking up, I looked at the big camp set up on the opposite mound, and the shallow ditch dug by the Song people in front of the camp.
Then think about the fact that the Song people's reinforcements can be rushed from hundreds of miles away to hundreds of miles away just after the fight on my side.
Trick!
It must be a trick of the Song people!
This cunning general of the Song army must have been prepared a long time ago, and set a trap here for me to fall into!
Thinking of this, Temujin immediately turned around and said to the people beside him:
"We fell for it, these Song people were already prepared!
Their army has been quietly following a hundred miles away, and they will arrive here soon!
Retreat, trumpet retreat.
Hurry up, don't be dragged down by the Song army here, go back to where we came before, withdraw!Get out! "
