Chapter 561 Mongolia Tribes
"fire."
With the command of the artillery commander, dozens of artillery fired.
The first thing the Mongolian cavalry saw was a burst of white smoke coming from a distance, but they had not felt the danger coming. After all, these Mongolian cavalry had never fought in the mainland, and they thought that these artillery were the same as before, just to boost momentum.
But the situation that followed surprised them. A shell exploded directly behind the Mongolian general. The flying shrapnel made the soldiers behind them into honeycombs.
The hot blood splattered on the face of the Mongolian general, and finally made this guy understand that the Ming army was not exaggerating here just now. No wonder they dared to stand in front of tens of thousands of troops, because there were people behind them.
"Kill them and retreat immediately."
Dozens of soldiers rode on the horse, then pulled out the pistol at their waists and opened them in a crackling manner at the dozens of Mongolian soldiers in front.
The cavalry's target is very large. Even if you can't hit someone with one shot, you can hit their war horses, so few of these dozens of cavalry soon stood up.
The sudden blow made the Mongolian soldiers stunned. They originally thought that the Ming army was just like a show, but in fact they did not have much strength.
But after a round of artillery fire, the ground was filled with potholes. They had never seen such powerful weapons. Hundreds of soldiers near the Great Wall were killed.
Fortunately, the court did not issue an order to start a war. If the court issued the order early, after we fired the cannons, the musket team would immediately go on the field, which would make the Mongols more serious. Now it can be considered as a way to get a bargain.
In the afternoon of that day, General Hu Qiang led his army out of the Great Wall and set up camps on the north side of the Great Wall. Because the Mongolian army saw the power of artillery, they retreated forty miles.
Don’t underestimate these forty miles. All the Mongolians think that they are here to make a fortune in the Central Plains.
As long as we armies stand here, the rulers of the mainland will definitely be afraid that they will send people to negotiate peace in order to pursue peace. At that time, they will be able to get a large sum of gold, silver and treasures, and then return to the grassland to live.
But I didn't expect that their dream was ruthlessly broken by cannons. Now, let alone gold, silver and treasures, I'm afraid that even if we want to leave, these Ming troops would not be willing.
In the afternoon, tens of thousands of troops came out, including at least 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry. Even if we want to retreat, these cavalry will rush up. Moreover, the weapons they hold are very powerful and we are definitely not able to deal with.
The reason why the Mongols chose to send troops at this time was that they thought of some historical allusions. When Emperor Taizong of Tang had just ascended the throne, the Turkic Khan also led a large army to threaten Chang'an.
At that time, even Emperor Taizong of Tang was an outstanding emperor in history, what could he do? He was not humiliated to pay tribute to the Turks, but he had survived the crisis at that time.
Now the Mongols think that the situation is almost the same. Although the Ming army occupied the capital with great force, their own strength must not be very good.
Faced with these tens of thousands of Mongolian tiger and wolf troops, I believe the Ming army is also very scared, and in this case they can gain huge benefits.
What they thought was good in their minds, but the real situation made them all wake up. At this moment, in the tent of the Mongolian military camp, the leaders of several tribes were helpless.
"If you tell me, you shouldn't wait for anything. Let's just kill them. What's the use of doing those things? Now, while there are not many troops out, we will rush over all the way. I really don't believe what kind of army can withstand our Mongolian cavalry?"
The prince of the Zasak tribe was very angry. The person who went out in the morning was his subordinates. At this moment, this guy was thinking about avenging his nephew.
I thought that the matter of showing off to my nephew could also make my tribe glorious on the Mongolian prairie for a while, but who knew that the limelight had not appeared, but instead brought hundreds of people out, especially his only nephew, who was dead.
"I told you earlier that we must investigate the situation first and then send cavalry here. You must not listen and feel that we have the ability to take over the Ming Dynasty. Now it is difficult to ride a tiger. Can they solve the problem so quickly? Do the Qing people really think they don't have much effort? I think we should negotiate with the Ming Dynasty before things continue to deteriorate."
Sitting opposite Prince Zasak is Prince Tushetu. This guy has traveled to the Central Plains and has seen the corruption of officials in the Central Plains, but he is also a smart person.
The current imperial court must have relied on how quickly the Qing people could defeat the Qing people so quickly, so when he first started the army, he was opposed, but when he saw that the Mongolian tribes wanted to make a fortune in the Central Plains, he could only follow.
"It's a bullshit to negotiate. Are the warriors in our tribe dead in vain? You guy is afraid when you encounter something. You must have been scared by the Han people. You are not the descendant of Genghis Khan at all."
The guy who Prince Zasak looked down upon the most was this guy. When he was in Mongolia, he would recite poems and essays and write essays. If he lived like this, would he still be a Mongolian?
"What are you talking about? We originally asked your people to submit their national certificates, but your people have to cross the border. Do you still blame others? If someone crosses the border of your tribe, can you still talk to that person?"
Although Prince Tu Xietu has no temper at ordinary times, he is pointed at the nose and scolded by others. This is something that cannot be tolerated. If you are weak on the Mongolian prairie, I am afraid that the flock of sheep and slaves under your command will be someone else's immediately.
"I'm asking if you two can say less. Now that the enemy is in front of you, we have to see how to solve this matter first. If you two want to quarrel, then just go outside and argue. After you two have finished arguing, let's discuss it again so that everyone can waste time with you here."
The person sitting in the main seat slapped the table. The Mongolian grassland advocated strength, and he would listen to anyone with more troops. This guy is Wu Keshan, the prince of Korchin, and he is also the uncle of Emperor Shunzhi.
His subordinates claimed to have 60,000 cavalrymen, so he was respected by other tribes.
Of course, this time he came to the capital and was different from other princes. Others came to make money, so he came to see if he could help his nephew...
