Qiming 1158

Chapter 1435 Go to Handi

After explaining everything that should be explained, Yu Yinggui has no bargaining chip, only a begging that is almost begging.

"I beg your majesty to show mercy to your servant! I beg your majesty to show mercy to your servant!"

Yu Yinggui cried bitterly, and kowtowed repeatedly until his head was swollen.

Su Yonglin sighed and told Yu Yinggui what he knew.

"Chongwen and suppressing martial arts, without realizing it, caused this disaster. The people of Song Dynasty did it. They were first defeated by gold thieves, and then died in Daming. The lessons from the previous lessons, you and other monarchs and ministers have ignored them? God's sins can still live, but they can't live by their own sins. "

Yu Yinggui only cried bitterly, but couldn't do anything.

But it should be said or not, his collapse and confession allowed the Ming Kingdom to completely gain the moral high ground for crusade against the rebels of Goryeo. Sending troops to Goryeo to quell the rebellion has completely become politically correct, and there is no need to have any moral concerns.

Su Yonglin immediately ordered the [-]th Corps to prepare for an attack. As long as the order was issued, he would act immediately.

At the end of the ninth year of Hongwu, big and small things continued. Su Yonglin was busy for more than half a year, but in the end, he could not live a slightly more comfortable and relaxing year.

Even in Hongwu's ten-year New Year's holiday, he only had one day off, and the senior officials of the court had at most two days off, and then they all came back to work overtime to deal with war and military affairs.

Su Yonglin himself only had time to accompany his family to a New Year's Eve dinner, and the next day to participate in the New Year's sacrificial ceremony. Then he immediately went to the council hall to understand and control the fierce battle of the Northern Expedition to the Prairie.

The battle of the Northern Expedition was good, and it can be said that it played the average level of the Ming army.

On December 21, the ninth year of Hongwu, the day when Yu Yinggui arrived in Zhongdu, it was also the day when Han Jinggui led the main cavalry force of the Ming army with 3 soldiers and encountered the main cavalry force of the tribal alliance in the south of the forest at a place [-] miles north of Wanggu's garrison. .

At that time, the Ming army had only 3 soldiers, plus the [-] cavalry cobbled together by Wang Gu's troops. They were all crooked melons, and they were more valuable to pretend than to fight.

On the other hand, there were more than 5 cavalry from the tribal alliance army in the forest going south, followed by more than 20 tribal population.

If we really want to fight, the more than 20 people can also pull out a lot of fighting power, because the living environment in the north of the Mongolian grassland is harsh, not only the middle-aged men need to ride horses to fight, the older people, women, and children can even ride horses fight.

It can be said that the whole people are soldiers, and all the villains.

They have an advantage in numbers, and they also think they have an advantage in morale and combat effectiveness. They have just completely defeated the resistance of the Wanggu and Tatar tribes, and they have beaten the two major tribes that used to dominate the grasslands into dogs and gained a lot of wealth. , is now at the peak of morale.

Ming army?

There is no fear at all, it is not an opponent at all!
Inspired by the huge victory, the leaders of the Tribal Alliance in the Forest even shouted the slogan "Go to the Han land, live in the Han people's big house and let the Han people serve us for the winter", which made hundreds of thousands of tribal people happy. If crazy, howling again and again.

Facing such enormous pressure, Han Jinggui was not afraid at all, and immediately ordered Wang Gu's cavalry to retreat, not to get in the way of the front line.

It is very difficult to protect these waste wood while fighting.

The cavalry of Wang Gu's army was like a pardon, turned in like the wind, and quickly ran away.

Then there were 20 cavalrymen of the Ming army fighting against [-] cavalrymen of the tribal alliance army in the forest plus more than [-] cavalrymen.

It seems like a very difficult thing, but it is not the case.

Because these nomadic cavalrymen said that Potian was also at the level of the feudal army. They were unparalleled in fighting against the wind, and they were embarrassed when they were defeated against the wind.

The cavalry equipment of the Ming army is far superior to these nomadic cavalry, and the range of the new hand crossbow is far stronger than that of their bows and arrows.

When the Ming army knight slashed with a knife, half of the nomadic cavalry was cut off.

The reason is very simple. The war knives of the Ming cavalry are all forged from high-temperature smelted steel, using a new forging process, and their strength is higher than before.

Su Yonglin has built a large number of coke factories and iron and steel factories across the country, and has been producing high-quality steel for several years, not only for firearms manufacturing, but also for the army to replace cold weapons.

The inventory accumulated before has been consumed in large quantities in previous operations, and the discarded steel was pulled back to the furnace for re-smelting.

It is no longer a dream to cut down the opponent's knife, leather armor and body with one knife.

Therefore, the cavalry of the forest tribe and the Ming army cavalry will basically fall into panic when they meet each other.

They couldn't cut down the Ming army cavalry, and the Ming army cavalry didn't dodge or dodge, so they relied on the armor on their body to carry it, and they couldn't break the armor.

And the Ming army cavalry slashed at the speed of the horse's sprint, and a cold light flashed, that is the separation of the head.

In fact, the entire fight took about three incense sticks. The left and right cavalry of the Ming army defeated the left and right flanks of the nomadic cavalry, and then encircled the middle. The simple and simple tactics played a great tactical effect. The cavalry coalition was defeated like a mountain.

How brave they are when they are victorious and chasing the enemy, and how embarrassed they will be when they are defeated and flee for their lives.

Han Jinggui's eyes were red, and he led the Ming army's cavalry to rush and chase fiercely.

In the face of more than 20 forest tribal alliances, Han Jinggui, who is red-eyed, will obviously not back down. The Ming army, with the power of a great victory, stormed the old nest of the forest tribal alliance in the cold wind, killing all the villains of more than 20 members. The tribal alliance turned upside down.

They would really resist. Facing the onslaught of the Ming army, men and women, old and young, not only fled in panic, but also took up arms and fought hard. Han Jinggui directly ordered the entire army to kill any resisters indiscriminately, liberating the combat effectiveness of the entire army. , at all costs, kill them until they kneel and beg for mercy.

The [-] Ming Army cavalry soldiers were divided into four groups and encircled the tribal alliance in the forest from four directions. They suddenly showed the momentum of "you are surrounded by me alone", and pressed the tribal alliance in the forest to the ground and rubbed and rubbed again.

This battle was fought from dawn to dusk. After dark, the Ming army continued to fight with the raging fire, and it continued to fight until dawn the next day, exhausted and finally ended the battle.

Afterwards, the army rested and counted the results of the battle. It was found that they killed more than 15 people from the tribal alliance in the forest. It is roughly estimated that they captured more than 20 people, and obtained more than [-] cattle, sheep and horses from the tribe.

However, only about 6 or [-] people in the tribal alliance in the forest managed to escape, jumped out of the encirclement of the Ming army, and fled northward.

On such cold days, without the tribe's shelter and enough food and warm tents, they fled north, almost to death.

But Han Jinggui was still very dissatisfied with this.

So after the whole army rested for a day and ate a lot of dairy products to replenish their physical strength, he ordered the selection of [-] of the most elite cavalry, one person and three horses, and the rest of the soldiers were concentrated and handed over to these [-] elites, and he personally led them to continue northward. chase.

He will never let go of this group of madmen who dare to provoke Ming Guowei, he will beat them to the point of extinction.

The remaining tired Ming soldiers were responsible for escorting the extremely large number of prisoners of war southward to the Wanggu station, where they were temporarily settled in the Wanggu station, rested for a while, and contacted the domestic side of Ming to deal with these prisoners and Booty.

This is the result of Han Jinggui's northern cavalry expedition.
