Chapter 1160 The Tragedy of the Tatar Grand Master

When the Ming army appeared, all the Tatars were stunned...

"Hold it quickly, don't let them hit it halfway!" Shi Niegan, who was the first to react, shouted loudly.The Tatars also knew that once the Ming army broke through the front army, the army would be completely finished!The situation was extremely urgent, and the Tatars finally burst out with the bravery hidden in their blood. Regardless of their superiority or inferiority, they mounted their horses one after another, and followed Shi Nirgan to meet the enemy!

But at this moment, the situation of the Tatars was extremely bad. The army marched for a whole day and night, and the men and horses were exhausted to the extreme. Many people were lying in the grass, snoring like thunder, and no matter how loud the movement was, they could not be woken up.It’s not easy for people who are awake, general fatigue is the second, the key is to keep running for their lives without regrouping, they huddle together like headless flies, suddenly find that the enemy is attacking, the soldiers can’t find the generals, and the generals can’t find them Not to mention soldiers, even weapons and horses can't be found!

As a result, 1000 Tatars had already crossed the river. In a hurry, only more than [-] people found horses and weapons, and followed Shi Niegan and the nobles to meet the enemy.

Of course, the 9000 people may not just be because they can't find war horse weapons, but because they simply don't want to die...

.

The Ming army arrived in a blink of an eye, and the Mongolian soldiers of the Four Guards Battalion raised their bows and arrows on horseback one after another. They grew up on horseback and were proficient in bowing and horses since they were young. Even the Han cavalry could not catch up with them.But the Han cavalry is equipped with crossbows, and there are specially modified muskets suitable for cavalry!
As soon as they entered the range, the Ming army fired all bows and crossbows, and the muskets roared!Fierce firepower poured in, and the Tatars fell to the ground one after another like rushes that had been devastated by the wind!

The Tatars were all shocked. They had never seen such a terrifying lethality. Seeing the more than 1000 people rushing forward, more than half of them were lost in one fell swoop.

Immediately afterwards, the Ming army attacked again, firing bows and crossbows again, and muskets roaring. This time, the distance between the two armies was closer, and the damage was naturally greater!The remaining 600 people were all accounted for...

Shi Niegan and those Tatar nobles suddenly found themselves in the front line, with the Ming army approaching within dozens of steps in front of them!

When the Ming army raised their muskets and crossbows again, the souls of the Tatars all died, and the blood and courage instantly evaporated with cold sweat, leaving only one word in their minds - escape!
"Can't retreat!" Shi Niegan waved his weapon and shouted anxiously: "The army behind is crossing the river!"

However, it was of no use. The Tatars became headless chickens from top to bottom. Whether it was noble nobles or ordinary Tatar soldiers, they all mounted their horses and fled back. No one paid any attention to him!
Shi Niegan looked desperately at the Ming army rushing forward, waiting to be shot and killed by their muskets, but the Ming army did not shoot bows and arrows, but picked up the horse-cutting sword!

Shi Niegan's soldiers hurriedly grabbed his horse's reins, pulled him around and ran away. At that moment, Shi Niegan felt a little enlightenment in his heart. It seemed that the Ming army could only shoot two rounds. That is to say, what happened just now It's just a bluff...

It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now. He glanced at the defeated soldiers of his own side, and then looked back at the overwhelming Ming army that swept over him, knowing that the situation was over and the gods could not save them.Shi Niegan swallowed hard, and quickly put all his thoughts on running for his life...

As Shi Niegan said, the Tatar army could not retreat, because half a mile behind them was the Tabu River, and the river was full of people who crossed the river like crucian carp. After figuring out the situation, he collided with the fleeing people and horses, and the people turned their backs immediately, and the scene was extremely chaotic!
The Ming army has entered the formation of the Tatars, wielding a saber, ruthlessly harvesting the lives of the Tatars!The vast majority of Tatars were hacked to death with their backs turned to the Ming army. It was easier for the Ming army to kill than cutting melons and vegetables!There were even some sleepy ones who thought it was a dream when they heard the sound of war, and were trampled by horseshoes in a daze, and their intestines were pierced, their brains burst, and they died incomparably useless...

The Ming army's encirclement became smaller and smaller, and the Tatars were constantly squeezed, and there was no place to stand by the river.There were also Tatars who tried to organize themselves and desperately tried to break through to both sides of the river, but the section of the river bank that was less than half a mile away was surrounded by three layers of the Ming army, three layers outside, and three layers in the middle. How can the Tatar army have a slight chance of escape?They were all like moths rushing into a flame, and were annihilated on the spot by the Ming army, and none of them could escape!
Seeing this, the rest of the Tatars had no choice but to jump into the river... Almost none of the Tatars were water-savvy, and those on horseback were better, but most of the Tatars were in the chaos, and they didn't catch their horses at all. Fleeing to the river on two legs, he was driven and jumped into the turbulent river in a daze...

Shocked by the icy cold water, those Tatars who were killed and stunned suddenly realized that they couldn't swim at all!Hurry up and use your hands and feet desperately, and jump up on the water!
In the Tabu River, there have never been so many landlubbers flopping together, but if they flop a few times, they can learn to swim, and no one will drown... Countless Tatars sank into the water after a few flops. tracked.Fortunately, he grabbed those fellow riders on horseback, as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw, he would not let go.

The water quality of Mongolian horses is average, and the river is fast-moving. Carrying a person across the river is extremely thrilling. When the person in the water pulls its hind legs, it immediately loses its support, and the horse sinks into the water.The man on the horse was startled, and hurriedly roared to let the people in the water let go. How could the people in the water listen?No matter how hard he punched and kicked, he slowed down the other party. This slowness didn't matter. More and more hands grabbed over and pulled the people and horses into the water together...

Such scenes can be seen everywhere on the river. The result of you pulling and pulling is that no one can even think about crossing the river. The Tatar army has packed the river like dumplings, but there are very few people who can go ashore and escape...

At this time, the Tatars on the north bank of the river were basically wiped out, and the remaining small remnants were also divided and surrounded. It was only a matter of time before they were all wiped out.When the main force of the Ming army approached the river, they were stupefied when they saw the densely packed Tatars on the broad river. None of them had ever seen such a scene...

It was the Mongolian soldiers from the Four Guards Battalion who came simply, took down their bows and arrows without hesitation, and shot and killed the Tatars in the river.Contrary to the common perception, it is not the Han soldiers who hate the Tatars the most, but the Mongols who came from the grassland.

This is actually very easy to understand. Most of the Han soldiers were born in the last years of Hongwu or even the early years of Yongle. They were born in the era when the Han army was at its peak and swept the world. In their impression, the Mongols have always been defeated by Ming. Hateful, but far more than hateful.

Most of the Mongols in the Four Guards camp were forced to leave their homes and grasslands by the Tatars and Oirats.On the grassland, the weak prey on the strong, and the Tatars' hands are stained with the blood of their people. They are always looking forward to the day when they come back from the counterattack.
"What are you doing in a daze, you idiots!" Liu Sheng caught up and saw that only the Mongolian officers and soldiers were shooting and killing the Tatars in the river, while the Han soldiers were watching there like geese. The officers and soldiers were lashed with a horsewhip and roared: "Three years ago, these Tatars were by the Tru River, but they didn't put down their butcher knives just because our Ming army jumped into the river!"

The soldiers of the Han nationality woke up like a dream, quickly stringed their crossbows, charged their muskets, and shot towards the river.The Tatars struggled helplessly in the Tabu River, most of them turned their backs to the Ming army, and they were densely packed, all of them were people, so it was not difficult to shoot and kill them. This was no battle at all, it was just an extremely easy and bloody massacre... …

There were also Tatars who knew that there was no way to escape, turned their heads and looked at the Ming army beggingly, begging them for mercy.

But the massacre had already begun, and no one could stop it. The arrows and projectiles of the Ming army poured down like raindrops, and the screams on the river shook the sky. The blood had already dyed the river into an almost blackened dark red...

Marquis An Yuan became even more angry, and continued to slap his soldiers violently, yelling: "Idiots, shoot those who are about to go ashore!"

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers of the Ming army quickly raised their guns and aimed at the Tatars who were about to reach the opposite bank.The Tabu River is nearly a hundred steps wide in this season, which is the range of the Ming army's muskets and bows!
The lucky Tartars seemed to have reached the river bank.And on the river bank, the anxious faces and outstretched hands of fellow soldiers...

As long as you go a little further, you can escape from Ascension!
Unexpectedly, before they had time to be happy, the Ming army's bullets and bullets suddenly gathered. The soldiers who were about to go ashore were shot and shot, and almost no one was spared. superior……

The Tatars who were preparing to respond on the south bank also suffered. Many people were injured by the arrow rain of the Ming army and fell into the river screaming. The comrades in the...

The Tatars in the river are now in a desperate situation with no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.The other bank has been blocked by the firepower belt of the Ming army. Looking back, the butcher knife of the Ming army is waiting.Drifting along the river is a dead end—the reason why the Ming army can conclude that Alutai will cross the river here is because this is the place with the widest water surface, the slowest and shallowest water flow within dozens of miles nearby.In the past, the river narrowed suddenly, the current would be twice as fast and the water depth would be doubled, and everyone would be drowned.

The massacre lasted for two full hours before the Ming army slaughtered the Tatar army in the river.Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Abuji'an Department on the south bank of the river fled eastward along the river with the army that hadn't crossed the river halfway through the massacre.

In this battle, with [-] against [-], the Ming army wiped out [-] elite Tatar cavalry with less than [-] casualties, which is known as the "Tab River Victory" in history.In the same way, an eye for an eye, avenged the Tru River!
The tragedy of the Tartars is far from over...
