The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 752

Arslen Khan issued a king's order, and countless tribal warriors met in Arslen Khan's king's tent.

Arslen Khan stood on the high platform the day before he set off to take the oath, looking at the cavalry covering the sky, Arslen Khan didn't have the same ambition as before.

Going to fight Jia Ke this time, I don't know how many of these warriors will be able to come back.

Standing next to Arslinghan, Meng He comforted him by committing suicide: "Khan, don't worry too much. We have already arranged a retreat. This time in the battle with Jia Ke, if we can win, we will win; if we can't, we will go west. go."

Arslen Khan nodded. Although he said that he had arranged for the troops to move westward, the results were not optimistic. Those tribal leaders did not want to give up everything on the grassland and go to the bitter cold west to suffer.

But this time the battle with Jia Ke has reached a critical moment, thinking that no matter what attitude those tribesmen have now, they have to move west.

On the second day, Alslenhan led 2 prairie cavalry and headed straight for Jia Ke.

The armies of the two sides walked towards each other like this. After more than ten days, the armies of the two sides met on a flat grassland.

Fortunately, the grassland is quite vast, otherwise there would be nowhere for nearly 200 million people to stay.

Now Jia Ke is not going to fight against Ars Lenghan anymore. In the past, he fought against the opponent because he has a lot of troops and has no choice.

But now that Jia Ke is leading an army of millions, he thinks he can wipe out all ghosts and monsters, so there is no need to waste time with them like this.

So the next day Jia Ke set up his formation and attacked the Tatar camp.

Arslen Khan was a little caught off guard. He thought that the two sides would send generals to each other to see each other before the battle, but he didn't expect Jia Ke to send a large army to attack.

Arslen Khan hastily ordered Meng He to lead the whole army to resist Jia Ke's attack.

And Meng He took the king's order, and before he came to the camp, he commanded his soldiers to go to the village, with all kinds of bows and arrows ready, and waited for Jia Ke's men to come to die.

As a result, Jia Ke's army stopped marching when they were seven or eight hundred steps away from the Tatar camp.Then hundreds of cannons were pushed to the front of the formation.

Although Meng He said that he was resourceful, it was the first time he saw this iron lump, and he didn't understand what these things were for for a while.

However, Meng He knew that once the opponent attacked, it would definitely be overwhelming, so he kept driving the soldiers under the Dazhai, waiting to reinforce the soldiers who died in the previous battle at any time.

At this moment, the cannons began to fire.

But Meng He only felt the sound of thunder in his ears, and then he went to see countless fireballs coming straight towards the wall of the village.

The Tatars were not good at building large camps, and their walls were just casually tied up with wood, so how could they withstand the bombardment of these artillery.

As a result, after the first round of artillery, the wall facing Jia Ke's side was already in disarray, almost useless.

Meng He was already dumbfounded when he saw this situation. He never thought that there were such ferocious weapons in the world.

But after all, Meng He has been on the battlefield for a long time, and knows that he has reached the most critical moment.

So Meng He didn't care about defense anymore, and immediately ordered the cavalry under his command to rush out of the Dazhan stronghold and began to attack Jia Ke's side.

What Meng He meant was to rush to the front of the opponent's formation with the speed of the cavalry and destroy all these unknown fires. If the cavalry could be used to disrupt the opponent's formation, it might be able to keep Dazhai safe.

But Jia Ke has fought with them for so many years, and he already knows the Tatars well.

Jia Ke saw that the opponent's Dazhai had been flattened, and immediately ordered the Musketeers to step forward.

Then he ordered the artillery to slowly retreat into the formation, and then replaced the solid bullets with grape bullets.Then began the bombardment of the Tatar cavalry.

This time, the Tatar cavalry knew what a hail of bullets was.

At the beginning, it was the bombardment of artillery, and the grape shells fired by the cannon fell on the front of the Tatars like raindrops.

Every launch can cut off a large part of the Tatars' troops, and the distance of several hundred steps is a natural moat that the Tatars will never be able to cross.

But the bravery of the Tatars was beyond Jia Ke's imagination. Although the cavalry in front fell off their horses and died one by one, the people in the rear did not stop at all, and continued to charge forward on the corpses of their companions.

In this way, under the bombardment of artillery, the Tatar cavalry slowly approached Jia Ke's main formation.

As the Tatars approached Jia Ke's camp, they thought they were about to meet the other party, so they became more excited and charged towards Jia Ke's camp one by one howling.

In the end, Jia Ke let them know that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

When the Dada cavalry approached Jia Ke and won 100 paces, the fusiliers started shooting continuously.

This time, under the continuous attack of artillery and muskets, the Tatars seemed to have encountered an impregnable wall in front of them.

No matter how brave the Tatars were, no matter how much they charged, they could not get within 80 steps of Jia Ke's army.

Seeing this situation in the back of the battle, Meng He was heartbroken, and now he felt a fear that he had never seen before.

Now Meng He has nothing to do, and in the face of absolute power, his strategy is now completely useless.

At this moment, Als Lenghan came to the front of the formation and saw this situation, frowned and bowed his head for a while, then suddenly ordered that the remaining cavalry immediately straighten up their luggage, withdraw from the camp and move north.

As soon as Meng He heard this order, he became a little anxious, "Khan, in this case, what should we do with the 10 people in front of the battle?"

Arslen Khan glanced at Meng He calmly, and then said: "The matter has come to an end, there is no other way but to sacrifice these troops so that our other army can retreat safely. Otherwise, if we continue to fight, we will die today." The whole army will be wiped out here."

Meng He was silent for a while after listening to Al Si Lenghan's words, and could only reluctantly agree.

Although Meng He was resourceful, he was not as decisive as Ars Lenghan. Therefore, when it came time to make a final decision, Ars Lenghan was able to judge the situation rationally and make a choice.

Ars Lenghan gave an order, and the other cavalry in the camp didn't care about anything, and immediately rectified their troops, left the camp in a hurry, and fled north.

The cavalry who were still attacking Jia Ke's camp in front of the formation also felt that something was wrong. They heard shouts at the beginning, but as their numbers became smaller and smaller, they gradually weakened.

As a result, someone looked back and saw that the camp was empty. This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The Tatar cavalry who attacked Jia Ke's camp immediately became a mess.

Seeing this situation, Jia Ke knew that the opportunity must not be missed, and immediately ordered the Eight Banners cavalry to divide into two groups, with two sides outflanking it.

These Tatar cavalry originally wanted to escape, but were blocked by the Eight Banners cavalry, and finally had to dismount and surrender.

After Jia Ke received the report that the opponent had dismounted and surrendered, he pondered for a moment, and immediately ordered the Musketeers to continue the attack, and the Eight Banners cavalry blocked the rear.

These dismounted Tatars thought they were safe, but Jia Ke did not accept their surrender, so they died one by one in despair under the constant bombardment of artillery and muskets.

And Sun Yan, who was standing beside Jia Ke, couldn't bear to see this situation.

"Your Majesty, why should the Tatars have surrendered?"

"Sun Aiqing, you are the benevolence of a woman. The purpose of going north this time is to completely exterminate the Tatars. If these people are surrendered, how will they be resettled and made them slaves of the Eight Banners tribe? Don't you think that the Eight Banners are now Is it strong enough?"

Hearing this, Sun Yan understood Jia Ke's intentions. Although the Eight Banners tribe is now under Jia Ke's order, there will be a day when Jia Ke is not around. When Jia Ke is gone, if the Eight Banners tribe is too powerful, they will create new threats.It's better to limit the number and strength of the Eight Banners now, so as to save trouble in the future.

After Sun Yan figured it out, he silently stepped aside and stopped talking.

In the evening, the battle ended, and Jia Ke ordered someone to count the results of the battle.

This matter was mainly in charge of by Sun Yan. After the evening, Sun Yan had already settled the matter and came to see Jia Ke with the paperwork.

"Your Majesty, the results of the battle have been counted."

"How? How many casualties are there in our army?"

"If you go back to Long Live, our army did not have many casualties in this battle. Only more than 500 people died in battle and more than 1000 people were injured."

"And what about the Tartars?"

When Sun Yan heard Jia Ke asking about the casualties of the Tatars, the smile on his face could no longer be stopped.

"Long live, the Tatars suffered a total of 10 casualties this time. Even if they are not hurt this time, it is enough for them to suffer."

Jia Ke was quite satisfied hearing this, and the casualty ratio of firearms to cold weapons was considered acceptable.

"Let the army rest for a day, and the army will continue to go north tomorrow."

After the army rested for a day, Jia Ke led the troops and continued northward.

This time, Jia Ke sent out all the cavalry of the Eight Banners, for no other reason than to find traces of Arslen Khan's army.

Besides, Arslen Khan finally settled down by a pond after breaking away from contact with Jia Ke with his remnant soldiers and defeated generals.

Ars Lenghan immediately summoned the leaders of the tribes to come to the big tent to discuss matters.

This time, the hands of the various tribes did not procrastinate as before. On Ars Lenghan's side, they all rushed to the big tent as soon as the order was delivered.

It seems that today's war has scared these people.

After Arslen Khan entered the big tent, he saw the heads of these tribes below, all of them were ashen-colored, and their faces were full of decadence.Even his chief think tank, Meng He, now looks gloomy.

Arslen Khan sighed, then sat on the big seat in the middle, and said to the people below: "You have all seen the big battle today, what should we do next? Let's discuss a solution."
