Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 320

Bentar returned to Khalkha proudly with ten carts of shattered glass, and selected ten relatively sound pieces of glass, wrapped them in woolen cloth, and ordered his men to take the ten pieces of shattered glass to Horqin, Give it to the Hailanzhu of the Horqin Department.

It turns out that this Tal, like Wu Sangui, is the leader of the young Mu Ai, and he also has a crush on this pearl on the grassland. In addition, they both belong to Monan Mongolia and have always been closely related to the Horqin tribe. Emotionally, he is more inclined to the Horqin tribe, while alienating the Ming court.

Of course, the Chechen Khan of the Khalkha Tribe chose to be close to the Horqin Tribe also meant to despise the Ming court. He believed that the Ming court did not have the ability to raise heavy troops to attack the tribes of the grassland. Raising troops, wouldn't it still make the Ming court lose the land outside the pass.

But the sound of horseshoes and deafening shouts broke the tranquility and occlusion of the Khalkha tribe. The cavalry of the third army of the Imperial Guard led by Oboi rushed towards the tribe of the Khalkha tribe like a lightning bolt. Some Tartars who were too late to mount their horses to fight had their throats cut or their heads cut in half in an instant.

Although the cavalry of the Third Army of the Imperial Guard are all new recruits, the intensity of training is not lower than that of cavalry who have been fighting for a year, and Oboi seems to be able to teach the cavalry and horses to establish a tacit understanding that is almost one, and In addition, the latest Ming Dynasty cavalry scimitar made of the latest alloy steel is no less sharp than a Damascus knife, so it can also make up for the defects caused by the inexperienced movements of recruits for the first time.

In the face of the sudden cavalry raid, the tribes of the Khalkha tribe immediately organized their troops after encountering a head-on blow. Among them, Mutar took the lead in organizing [-] elite cavalry to the third army of the Imperial Guard. A settlement of the Khalkha tribe is being massacred.

The Khalkha tribe is also an alliance composed of many large and small tribes, and its tribes will also migrate due to the depletion and abundance of water sources and pastures. Therefore, the settlements of the tribes within it sometimes vary. The position is not fixed, so it becomes unrealistic for the cavalry of the Imperial Guard to wipe out the Khalkha tribe in a sudden attack. This is also the reason why the Central Plains dynasties could not eliminate the border troubles at once, and the nomads are not afraid The reason why the hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese came to attack.

But this doesn't mean that if you can't be wiped out, you won't fight, you can't swallow you whole in your mouth, and you have to tear a piece of flesh from your body!

Therefore, once Oboi chose to use his scouts to find a tribal settlement in the Khalkha tribe, he decisively charged up with his own cavalry. He didn't have the patience to care whether this tribe was where the king's account was located. Anyway, he would kill it for a while before talking about it. Horseshoe When passing by, as long as you see someone, you will directly slash through it, no matter if it is a man or a woman, old or young.

Seeing his own people being massacred by the Ming army cavalry like chopping melons and vegetables, Mutal seemed to be bleeding, but he didn't choose to attack immediately, but waited for all the tribe's cavalry to gather Only then did the attack begin.

Aobai also noticed that there were more and more Khalkha cavalrymen gathering in front of him, so he took out his whistle and blew. Immediately, as if ordered, the soldiers of the Third Army of the Imperial Guard quickly withdrew with their bloody scimitars. back.

All that was left to the Khalkha cavalry were overturned tents and howling tribesmen, as well as dying and fallen cattle and sheep.

The hula-la-la wind blew hard, and the Khalkha cavalry, like locusts, rushed towards the imperial guards with full of anger, just like they rushed to the Ming mission.

However, at this moment, Obai doesn't seem to have any intention of fighting against the capable cavalry of the Khalkha tribe. Perhaps his purpose is to bring his own cavalry to practice killing instead of really going to fight against the most powerful cavalry in the world. Cavalry battle.

Zhu Youjian is now a member of the First Brigade of the Third Army of the Imperial Guard (equivalent to the brigade commander, the new army of the Imperial Guard created by Zhu Youxiao is based on the standard of the town brigade, etc., but the official position still uses the official system of the Ming Dynasty , since the battalion level is the commander, and the brigade level is the general, this level is not low, logically, the authority of the general in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to the commander of the modern military division).

In terms of his ruthless determination to kill Yuan Chonghuan and kill Zhou Yanru in the original history, he is not relentless when slaughtering the Khalkha Tartars. How much, anyway, now that he is covered in blood, his will to fight has not weakened in the slightest. On the contrary, because he saw most of the Khalkha cavalry rushing, he wanted to fight a battle even more.

However, seeing that Aobai gave the order to retreat, he had no choice but to follow back, and asked: "General Ao, our army's morale is high, why are we shrinking our heads and retreating when we see the elite cavalry coming?" run."

"Is it possible, Your Highness, that you really think that Ao is a god-man, and that he can turn his cavalry into an invincible elite in just one year? The cavalry who are proficient in various tactics, we will only suffer heavy losses in a direct battle. This is the only cavalry in my Imperial Guard. It cannot be lost just like this. Ao wants to have a horse race with them and let the Fourth Army deal with them , as long as their offensive formation is disrupted and their morale is suppressed, our third army can give him a sudden blow!"

Aobai continued to gallop back as he spoke, Zhu Youjian had nothing to say about this, and he had to admit in his heart that this Jiannu was not as reckless as he imagined, but he was rough and detailed, and he knew his own Strength, but also good at using better ways to deal with it.

How to retreat quickly without confusion is a very demanding item in mobile warfare, and it is also an important ability for cavalry. Obai has often trained the Third Army in this regard.

Therefore, the third army also retreated in an orderly manner, retreating quickly, and at the same time, Obai ordered his personal guards to fire a signal cannon, which was a white phosphorous bomb developed by the Royal Academy of Engineering. The shank firing gun is fired from the bolt, but because the white phosphorus bullet is relatively large and requires high-speed upward rotation, the diameter of the barrel of the bolt is relatively large, and the rifling thread is also drawn inside to reduce air resistance and ensure the stability of the white phosphorus bullet. Fly upwards to reach maximum altitude.

White phosphorus has a low ignition point, so it is easy to burn. The sparks generated by a slight firing can easily detonate the white phosphorus bomb, so that when it flies to the sky at high speed, it will generate a lot of white smoke due to combustion, which can play a good role in signal transmission. After all, the propagation speed of sound alone is not enough to satisfy the signal propagation.

However, this kind of firearms and white phosphorus bombs, which are already regarded as rifled guns, can only be used to send signals, and like the Minigun, they cannot be used on a large scale.

Regarding how the original white phosphorus came from, in fact, the Royal Academy of Engineering was able to develop it successfully, which also benefited from the excavation of the ancestral graves of Fan Wencheng and Wu Sangui.
