367, the musketeers are in full swing, and Horqin fled in all directions

"Bang bang bang!"

The sound of musket shooting resounded through the sky.

Countless Ming cavalrymen rode their horses into the battlefield. They raised their muskets and were very skillful in shooting enemy riders in high-speed movements.

Who says that only bows and arrows can be used to ride and shoot?

There is actually a problem here, which is hit rate.

Whether it is an archer or a musketeer, it is inevitable that the hit rate will decrease in high-speed sports.

But in the battlefield where tens of thousands of cavalry alternately battles, the problem of falling hit rate has been largely compensated.

The bullets shot by a musketeer may not be the enemy he aimed at, but another enemy a few meters or even a dozen meters away, or even a horse...

But no matter what, at least one target was hit, didn't it?

The lethality of muskets is very huge, and it is even more lethal to nomadic cavalry.

If you casually look at the history of ancient and modern times, China and abroad, you will find that when hot weapons such as muskets step by step on the main stage of war, it is also the time when cavalry, the "king of cold weapons", is gradually declining!

After a large number of musketeers joined the battlefield, the situation on the entire battlefield suddenly changed greatly.

The battle situation where the Chahar cavalry of the Ming army could not be opened could be quickly tilted towards the favorable direction of the Ming army.

Now, Korqin naturally couldn't sit still.

"Han people are here?"

The moment he heard the news, Bada, the leader of the Korchin tribe, was in a mess.

When he took over the task of quitting the rear, Badali had already predicted the situation in front of him.

He always had to fight another battle with the Ming army.

However, Badali discovered that even though the Ming army had really started to join the battlefield, he was still not mentally prepared.

Badali took a deep breath, and the light flashed in his tiny eyes, and after a moment he issued a vicious order.

"Okay, let the guys retreat!"

After hearing Badali's order, many generals of the Korqin tribe were shocked and spoke one after another.

"Khan, our main force has just entered the battlefield, how can we retreat?"

"When we retreat at this time, our losses will be too serious!"

"Let's take a gamble, the Ming army may not be that powerful."

Badali was upset and shouted loudly.

"Shut up!"

Everyone shut their mouths at the same time.

Badali said coldly: "Even that guy Dorgon is not willing to fight against the Ming army without sufficient military strength. The Chahars were easily defeated by the Ming army. Where did you come from the confidence that you can win?"

"I know, you are all worried that the grassland will be occupied by the Chahars after this failure, but that is better than dying here!"

"If anyone wants to die, I don't object. Anyway, what will happen to your wife and children after death is gone, I don't even count!"

Everyone was silent.

It’s okay if a person dies. His wife will be sleeped by other men and his children will be beaten by other men. This kind of thing is a big deal.

Someone whispered: "What did the Qing Dynasty explain? Prince Ying's troops are still standing behind us."

When Badali heard this, he was immediately angry and furious: "This Ajige is here to help in name, but in fact he is still moving with his army. Tell me how to fight?"

"Go and tell him, just say we can't stand it anymore and let him march to support him immediately. We will wait for him for another quarter of an hour. If there is no reinforcements, we will retreat immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Badali took his personal guards around him and began to retreat slowly.

He didn't expect Azig to come to rescue him.

Badali's idea was not wrong at all, because Ajige was not actually in the Qing army formation five miles away.

At this moment, Ajige was already twenty miles away.

The cavalry of the Korchin tribe were still very dedicated. Even when they reached this distance, they still caught up with Ajige.

"Ask for help, Badali asks me for help?" Azig laughed out loud when he heard this.

"Why would I wait here for half an hour to see if I can wait for Ajige? Oh, maybe I will see him in less than half an hour, what do you think?"

Faced with Ajige's questioning, Korqin's envoy for help was speechless and subconsciously looked up in the direction of the main cavalry of the Korqin tribe.

As the smoke and dust rolled, a group of Korchin cavalry with a population of about a thousand rushed over, and the leader was Badali.

Badali and Azig looked at each other silently for a while, both of them showed a embarrassed and polite smile.

Badali asked tentatively: "Prince Ying is... going home?"

Ajig paused for a moment and said dryly, "Yes, yes, go home. Why don't we... let's go together?"

The two of them laughed tacitly.

Badali waved his hand and said proudly: "Come here, give Prince Ying and the others a hundred horses, and everyone retreat together!"

Azig did not ask why Badali retreated alone with his personal guards, just as Badali did not ask where the ten thousand Qing troops that should have had around Azig were.

Sometimes the tacit understanding of mature men is silent.

On the battlefield, the cavalry of the Korchin tribe had completely retreated and fled in scattered areas.

Looking from the sky, it was like a group of ants running in a mess.

"Surrender and not kill!"

The shouts of the Ming cavalry resounded throughout the battlefield.

In just one sentence, the cavalry of the Han army can certainly learn it.

There is a counterintuitive common sense on the grassland, that is, the pursued party is often difficult to escape and will be killed one by one during the long pursuit.

Therefore, the cavalry of the Korchin tribe began to surrender in large numbers.

Zhu Cilang was in a good mood when he watched this scene.

"Korqin...ha, from now on, there will be no more tribe on the grassland!"

Chahar has now surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and Korqin is defeated again today, and the entire Monan will officially become the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty.

This is something that the Ming Dynasty has never done since the death of Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty!

A fast horse came with the Ming army's messenger and sent another new information to Zhu Cixuan.

"Thousands of Qing army infantry were found about fifteen miles south, and the formation was quite scattered. The two generals Li Dingguo and Abunai were sieging them!"

Zhu Cilang exclaimed, and his smile became stronger and stronger.

"Is this a buy one free one? I didn't expect Dorgon to be a good person too."

"Okay, let me tell Li Dingguo and Abu Nai that anyone who confirms that they are Jurchens... well, no survivors!"
