Chapter 1472 Surrender

It turned out that Hutchison had such a strong force. One thousand red-robed cavalrymen fought thousands of herders and ran around with their heads in their arms. Now more than three thousand people came out of the right wing at once. In addition, the original lancers had controlled some battlefields. There were originally 30,000 people in the right wing, but more than half of them had already emerged. The rest were not the middle-aged herders, most of them were old and young herders, and there were almost no armored soldiers. Who could imagine what the three thousand red-robed cavalrymen would do?

A feeling of despair surged into Guiyingcha's heart. Although there was no mirror, he knew that his face must be a little ugly than the dead.

Looking around, there were not many people who were as dead as Gui Yingcha.

The main force of Hutchison finally moved. Many people were worried about Hutchison's counterattack. When they really moved, everyone realized that there was no chance from beginning to end. The other party was just waiting for the opportunity. The more Chahar people were pulled into the battlefield, the Hutchison hunting cavalry cut from the right wing, the greater the results they got!

In addition to the hunting cavalry that was rushing by the light cavalry, there were two battalions of lances on the left wing of Hutchison, which followed closely. However, the lances did not speed up too much. They were still cavalry barriers on the left phalanx to protect the phalanx. Only after the hunting cavalry entered, if the enemy formation collapsed, the lances would also quickly follow.

Although the burden is heavy, each knight is 70 kilograms of armor, plus weapons and weight exceeds 200 kilograms, carefully selected war horses can still be pursued for a short distance, and it is still possible to chase after at least a dozen miles. With hunting cavalry in front and lancers in the back, once a collapse occurs on the battlefield, the Chahar people will have no chance.

Guiying felt at a loss, and the hunting cavalry drifted out like red clouds and pointed directly behind the right wing.

The lancers around him were in the whole squad again, and the large number of herders no longer exclaimed or shouted, but cried.

These shepherds had never seen a big battle. The last time they invaded Ming Kingdom by clans was 20 years ago. Most of the recent wars were from 10,000 to 10,000 people, and there were still several times when they did not fight at all. Those who fought were sent to fight. Many of Lin Dankhan's people had never seen swords and guns.

The situation in Chahar was slightly better than that in Tumot. There were still many generals and veterans who had seen wars and blood. The herders of the Mongolian in the eastern part were also more fierce and brave. The Chahars were also an important cavalry force to stabilize the border during the Qing Dynasty.

But at this moment, facing the powerful opponents whom he was unable to resist, the spirits of these herdsmen and armored soldiers were collapsed.

As for the generals and nobles, how good can they be?

Like the shepherds under his command, these generals and nobles were at a loss. A large number of generals and ties led their men back and forth in relatively safe places, allowing Hutchison's troops to continue to kill their subordinates. The Chahar people were constantly dead, and the casualties were very heavy!

The rumbling drums were getting closer and closer, with flags like clouds, swords and guns like forests. The main force of Hutchison, with over 15,000 people, was overwhelmed by the passionate drum beats. The power of oppressing everything and crushing everything was no doubt at all. Once the military formation arrived in front of him, the Chahar people were immediately eliminated.

No accidents, no turn, no destiny, everything is cold and cruel, the ending is destined, and death will inevitably happen...

Thinking of his future, Guiyingcha felt extremely regretful. Before this, the great queen Namu Zhong summoned him and patted his chest to express that he would definitely live up to the great queen's expectations. He would definitely fight hard on the battlefield and teach Huji a lesson.

The Queen was very happy at the time and admired him a few pieces of silk, and then summoned people to kill sheep and drink together. Everyone returned home drunk.

Guiyingcha wished he could slap himself hard. If he had been cowardly, it would not be his turn to lead the army. Now he might be hiding behind and being with his family. Winning and losing are related to him. The person who is really smart is the one who knows that it is not an opponent who has already run over and surrendered. In the future, Hutchison will rule such a large territory without the Mongolians. I heard that many original Tumote Taiji have been appointed in the Qingcheng area, including Yinding Taiji and Baiyin Taiji...

When Guiying thought of this, the distance between the hunting cavalry was already very close, only a few hundred steps apart.

Around the panic soldiers were urging and inquiring. No one had a backbone. Although Gui Yingcha had never fought any war, he was serious. At the critical moment, the shepherd and soldiers could only wait for Taiji to give the order.

Guiyingcha's mind was blank. At this time, he looked back and saw that there were less than 20,000 people left on the right wing behind him, and there were riots. Some shepherds rode horses to escape to the old Zhongjing ruins. It was obvious that they could see running figures between the ruins.

This discovery surprised everyone, because there were large ruins in the old Liao Zhongjing, which was easy to defend, and a large number of soldiers were placed here. The previous idea was to punch the right wing and hit hard, and to destroy the Shang army on the banks of the Xilamulun River.

Now that the main force is gone, is it so bad?

Of course, there is a stronger place. Lin Danhan is located in the central army. More than 70% of the armored soldiers are placed there. If Lin Danhan sends all armored soldiers to rescue, he still has the chance to rescue the more than 20,000 people now...

But the central army remained motionless and was even in a vague commotion because they saw the hunting cavalry attacking the right wing.

The sound of horse hooves like thunder is getting closer and closer. It is strange that the Chahar people who were split and cut are also running around, and their momentum is far less than that of the other party when they run. Guiying just thought, it may be because the other party is riding in a uniform formation and running here is scattered?

He wished he could really slap himself in the face. When did he think of this?

"Taiji, what should we do?"

The sounds on the battlefield seemed to flow into my ears like flowing water. An armored soldier roared at Gui Yingcha, and more armored soldiers and herders were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

On their left are the large hunting cavalrymen who came here, and on the right wing are the entire team of lancers who rushed over. It is quite dangerous to run anywhere, but they always have to run to have a chance to survive. If they stay here, the large number of people gathered and it will easily become targets. At that time, if someone attacks, they don’t know how many people will die.

"Surrender, surrender!"

Guiyingcha was like a string that was plucked, shouting loudly with a sharp voice. He dismounted the horse first and threw away the sword in his hand. In fact, Guiyingcha didn't use a knife at all. Like ordinary Mongolians, Guiyingcha's shooting skills were not bad, and he would hit almost every shot within a hundred steps. But whether it was a spear or a short knife, only armored soldiers would practice this true fighting and killing technique seriously. Whether it was a herdsman or aristocrat, they almost regarded archery as an indispensable skill. Most of them were not concerned about the method of killing and fighting, and they could not take the initiative to practice it.

After throwing the knife, Guiying relaxed her entire face as if she had lost something heavy.

At this time, Guiyingcha really understood why the three tribes in Mobei and Kalaqin Balin surrendered so easily.

It was originally easier to surrender, but it was more difficult to persevere.

Persistence means that many people will take the initiative to make sacrifices and sacrifices, not to dedicate their own property, but to their own lives. If there was a person who could be truly recognized by all tribes at this time, let alone Genghis Khan, even if there were a hero like Dayan Khan, the entire tribe would not have been easily conquered.

But what people really rely on and trust now are the living Buddhas and lamas, who believe that the future can be better and happiness can be achieved in the next life. Under such a doctrine, almost no one will struggle for the things in this life. Whether it is Mongolian nobles or Han people, as long as the shepherds do not affect the worship of the Buddha, everyone actually has an indifferent attitude towards who will rule. It is under such a grand premise that Zhang Han’s road to unification seems so smooth, but in fact, compared to Huang Taiji who was cheated by God, the road to unification of Hutchison is considered difficult.

The Jurchens first went against the Korqin people for more than ten years, but there were not many substantial results. After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he brought thousands of Jurchens with him. More than 100,000 Mongolian brothers were bowing their heads and bowing. Lin Danhan was so scared that he hugged his head and ran away. This road of unification was called fantasy. Almost a year, hundreds of thousands of Mongolians from dozens of tribes became people under the Jurchens, and their power was used by them. The Jurchens could break from wherever they wanted. If the Mongols had not become weak chickens, how could it be so easy to penetrate into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty?

The road to unification of Hutchison has actually taken nearly five years. In recent years, Hutchison's profits are unimaginable. However, Zhang Han did not take a single penny, and he was really penniless except for taking some money for the home. Hutchison's head members used all their strength to develop the army and build their own strong army. At the same time, they settled on the grassland, discovered the money that could be earned for every penny, and then invested the money into the army.

This cycle finally led to the outbreak of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, tobacco, winemaking, northern trading cities, a large number of cotton fields, farmland and land. These things became the fruitful rewards of the grassland to Zhang Han, and also made Hutchison's income rise steadily.

It was only then that Hutchison could truly raise a large number of war soldiers, and the baggage soldiers were transformed from garrison troops to second-line garrison and support troops. Otherwise, the war soldiers had never dared to move before, and the cost of garrison and training was suppressed. Hutchison was breathless. A large number of elite soldiers and generals were left untouched, not because they could not defeat others, but because they had no money to fight. This matter was probably not understood by many people. There were also troops that could win and had no money to fight. It was indeed there, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed by the collapse of the financial situation. The army without financial support gradually refused to obey military orders, became semi-independent, and the military discipline was corrupt. The army became private soldiers of generals. This was an inevitable process.

The difference between the Southern Ming and the Southern Song Dynasty was also here. When Zhao Gou was able to control the finances, the army was firmly controlled. The Southern Ming Dynasty was because the generals and ministers colluded with King Fu as emperor. After Hongguang ascended the throne, he gave 90% of the Southern Ming's finances to the army. The generals still felt that it was insufficient. The national financial plan was controlled by the military man and moved up and down. The four towns did not obey military orders and attacked each other. Once the enemies arrived, they surrendered one after another. This was the main important reason why the Southern Song Dynasty could persist and the Southern Ming could not persist.
