Qiming 1158

Chapter 1436 They have become historical terms

In addition to the Ming army led by Han Jinggui, there were also [-] Ming cavalrymen led by Zhong Xuemin, a general under Han Jinggui.

Zhong Xuemin and the 15 cavalry cobbled together by Tata'er's troops went north to meet the enemy, and encountered more than [-] forest tribe coalition troops going south along this road, plus about [-] tribal alliance population. Huge momentum.

Just as the cavalry of the Wanggu tribe had self-awareness, the more than 1 cavalrymen who had been beaten up by the cavalrymen of the tribe in the forest completely lost their will to fight.

Zhong Xuemin also saw the unavailability of this cavalry, so he made the same decision as Han Jinggui.

Before the war, Zhong Xuemin asked them all to retreat without getting in the way, and then led [-] Ming army cavalry to face [-] nomadic cavalry.

The cavalry of Tata's army was like a pardon, turned like the wind, and ran away without a shadow in a flash.

The obstruction was gone, Zhong Xuemin slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, and looked at the allied army of the forest tribes that was gradually approaching the Ming army with fierce and firm eyes.

"Da Ming Wansheng!!!"

He gave the order to march.

The Ming army cavalry rushed out and met them head-on, unafraid.

The result was similar to that of Han Jinggui.

The two sides fought bloody about two pillars of incense, and the tribal coalition forces in the forest began to retreat. With another pillar of incense, the Ming army took their retreat and surrounded them. After that, the [-]-strong coalition cavalry was completely beaten by the tactic of dividing and encircling them. Army annihilated.

The superior equipment and excellent training of the Ming army laid the foundation for victory. In the face of the overwhelming superiority of the Ming army, the allied army in the forest was defeated like a mountain. The previous momentum was completely gone, and only the strength to escape was left.

After the great victory, Zhong Xuemin did not stop attacking.

Just like Han Jinggui, he continued northwards and found the tribesmen behind the cavalry. He rushed forward and turned them upside down with cavalry-throwing firearms. People will kill.

In a bloody battle all day and night, the Ming army killed more than 1 coalition cavalry, captured more than 13 tribesmen in the forest, captured more than [-] cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, and obtained countless other spoils of war.

Zhong Xuemin did not stop there, and immediately ordered [-] elite cavalrymen, one person and three horses, carrying a large amount of dairy products, jerky and large pancakes, and chasing northward against the cold wind, vowing to wipe out all the guys who escaped. .

If they are killed, they will not dare to invade Daming's sphere of influence in the next life.

Around December 27th in the ninth year of Hongwu, the two cavalry made the same choice and marched northward together, killing the fleeers they encountered along the way, and taking the nomadic tribes stationed along the way as supplies. Eliminate them on the spot, supplement supplies and livestock on the spot.

On the fourth day of the first month of the first month of the tenth year of Hongwu, because the march to the north was too deep, the weather was too cold, and batches of cattle, sheep and livestock with the army froze to death. Northern Expedition, return home.

This time the Northern Expedition, they did not reach the legendary North Sea where Su Wu shepherds sheep.

But they left a marching mark, remembered the marching road, and prepared to apply for a northern expedition this year when the weather warmed up in the spring, to wipe out the nomadic tribes that were not found along the way, and truly reach the North Sea.

On the ninth day of the first month of the tenth year of Hongwu, the news of the unprecedented victory of the two cavalry troops was returned to the Central Capital.

Su Yonglin was overjoyed and immediately ordered the matter to be made public to make the people happy together.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yonglin learned that Han Jinggui and Zhong Xuemin had launched a further northern expedition together. He expressed some concerns about this. He was worried that the cold weather would cause unexpected losses to the elites of the two groups. For this reason, he was very worried.

But soon, on the [-]th day of the first month of the tenth year of Hongwu, he received the news that the two armies had returned safely.

The two armies lost some cattle, sheep and horses, as well as some war horses, and some soldiers suffered frostbite, but overall the losses were not large, and the main force of this Northern Expedition was generally preserved.

And this Northern Expedition, because the enemy's main force was too confident and too close to the gathering point of the Ming army, the Ming army was able to easily wipe them out, including their own troops, was wiped out.

The Ming army's battle losses were quite small, at least compared to the huge battle results.

With the bloody battle and the Northern Expedition, a total of 650 seven cavalrymen were killed in battle, and many were injured, with more than [-] wounded to varying degrees, and more than [-] horses were lost.

The result of the battle was that more than 4 cavalrymen of the tribal alliance in the forest were killed in hand-to-hand combat and pursuit battles, more than 25 people were captured, and more than 30 cattle, sheep and horses were obtained.

It means that the battle loss ratio of the Ming army and the cavalry of the tribal alliance in the forest has surpassed the battle loss ratio after the victory of the foreign war in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, reaching a new level.

Basically, if such a battle loss ratio is obtained, it can be concluded that the Ming cavalry is also at the level of dimensionality reduction against the nomadic cavalry.

This battle provided Su Yonglin with great confidence, and made him believe that the Daming cavalry had undergone training and the blessing of technology, and the combat effectiveness had taken a further leap. Even against the legendary Xiliao cavalry, they could fight beautifully. loss ratio.

This battle was officially dispatched from mid-to-late November to the end of the first month of the first month. It lasted for two months, and the consumption of food and grass materials was still very large.

However, the victory was even greater, and such a large victory was enough to fill the consumption of this battle.

Moreover, the greater victory has yet to be achieved.

Su Yonglin patiently waited for the news of the greater victory.

Then, on the [-]th day of the first month of the tenth year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin got the news he wanted.

After the war, at the Thanksgiving Celebration Banquet attended by all the dog bosses from the Wang Gu and Tatar Departments, Han Jinggui and Zhong Xuemin joined hands to wipe out the dog bosses from the two tribes at the celebration banquet.

The big dogs didn't resist. When the Ming army moved, they were so drunk that many people didn't even realize that they had become prisoners and would forever be prisoners.

After the leaders of the big dog households were captured, the Ming army cavalry who had finished resting moved quickly and rushed to the old nests of the two major tribes with the fastest speed, and successfully captured them who had been severely weakened.

The whole process is not dangerous.

Facing Daming's father's sudden reversal, they seemed at a loss and panic, but the Ming army did not kill a lot of people, but asked them to lay down their weapons and surrender, actively cooperate with the Ming army, and don't resist, so that they could save their lives.

Except for a very few people who feel that they are not right to draw a knife and resist, most people actually do not dare to resist.

There were too few people who dared to resist, and they were dealt with by the Ming army in twos and threes, while the remaining people knelt on the ground and begged for mercy after these people were killed.

Two days later, Wang Gu and Tatar have all become historical terms.

Daming had about 65 more captives.

Together with the about 25 prisoners of war captured in this war, a total population of more than 90 was obtained.

Moreover, the two tribes of the Wanggu tribe and the Tataer tribe are not like the poor ghosts of the tribal alliance in the forest. There are so many tribes, and there are only 30 cattle, sheep and horses together.

They are rich and rich, and they have a lot of property. All the leaders are rich in the grasslands. The Ming army has obtained more than one million cattle, sheep and horses for this.

Su Yonglin was very happy that the Ming army successfully achieved the strategic goal because the Wang Gu and Tata's troops were too stretched in this operation.
