Chapter 309 Tigers enter the flock
"Brother, let's kill the golden tent and kill the Tartar Head Sauvignon!" Han Dashan pointed to the direction of the golden tent and said.
"Be careful of the trap! Let's drive the Korqin people to the golden tent!" Li Guodong said.
The cautious Li Guodong did not directly lead his troops to attack the golden tent, but instead placed the cavalry outside and drove the Korqin people who were crying and running around in the camp towards the golden tent in the middle.
The stable had been attacked by people long ago. The Ming cavalry untied all the horses and released all the horses in the stable. Thousands of war horses, slow horses, horses and other horses spread their hooves in the Korqin camp and ran wildly. The Korqin people who had no time to dodge were either knocked out or were trampled into meat sauce by the horse's hooves.
The sharp tiger-toothed sword in Li Guodong drove away the Korqin people like a tiger driving away the flock of sheep, driving them towards the direction of the golden tent. The Ming army on the other three sides were also driving away the Korqin people and letting them attack the guards of Sai Sang themselves.
A loud noise suddenly came from the front, and a large piece of land collapsed, and a large pit of dozens of feet appeared. Many Korqin people who were driven away by the Ming cavalry fell into a huge trap.
"Sure enough, Zaisang set a trap!" Han Dashan was glad in his heart, "If it weren't for the elder brother being careful, we might have been fooled!"
There were many sharpened wooden stakes on the top in the trap. As long as the cavalry fell in, even people and horses would be skewed into candied haws. Now these traps set up by Sai Sang have become the burial grounds of a large number of Korqin people. The Korqin people who fell into the trap, both men, women, and young, were skewed into a bunch of human candied haws, and the trap was covered with blood.
Li Guodong looked at the trap that suddenly appeared and thought to himself: Zaisang set up a trap. The people of Korqin should know the location of the trap. They would not fall into the trap at all on weekdays. Now they are driven away by us and the crowd is in chaos, so they fall into the trap.
"Continue to drive them away and go to Zaisang's guards!" Li Guodong shouted in his voice.
Several personal soldiers galloped and passed Li Guodong to each team.
Although the combat effectiveness of the Korqin Mongols was far inferior to that of the Jurchens, or even the ordinary Ming army, Zaisang's guard was a well-equipped and well-trained army. Lao Nu and Huang Taiji also provided a lot of excellent weapons and armor to the Korqin people. Zaisang naturally provided all these equipment to his personal guards.
There is a layer of wooden fence outside the golden tent. The guard holding a spear stood behind the wooden fence, with archers standing behind it. Zaisang, who had been attacked by Li Guodong once before, was afraid that the Ming army would come again. Now he guarded his golden tent like an iron barrel. With just Li Guodong's two thousand cavalry, it is difficult to rush into the golden tent.
The Korqin herders who were driven away by the Ming cavalry rushed to the golden tent. A large group of panicked people rushed to the wooden fence, and the people behind rushed up again, crowding the wooden fence shaking.
"If anyone dares to hit the golden tent, he will be killed without mercy!" Ao Leb shouted loudly.
Of course, Li Guodong would not attack. On the one hand, he drove the Korqin herders to raid the golden tent of Zasang. On the other hand, he asked the firearms team to send orders to make the camel team prepare to advance forward, and after approaching the golden tent, he set up artillery to bombard the Zasang Guard.
The Ming cavalry drove away tens of thousands of almost unarmed Korqin herders with one thousand people, and the other 1,000 people were separated to chase and kill the Korqin people who fled in all directions. The cavalry's massacre of the herders was a one-sided massacre. Some Mongolians turned their heads and shot an arrow with a hunting bow, which was stabbed on the cavalry, which could not be penetrated at all. Then he watched the Ming army's steel knife cut across his neck.
Except for a few people who fought for futile resistance, the rest of the Korqin herders fled in vain, were caught up by cavalry, their heads were cut off, and they were trampled by horse hooves. More than a thousand cavalry killed the Korqin herders' corpses flowed into a river of blood.
The Ming cavalry was killing people, and the Korqin Golden Tent Guard was also killing people, but the Korqin people on both sides were killed. The Korqin people surrounded the outside of the wooden fence of the Golden Tent rush to the wooden fence. Seeing that the shouts of the Golden Tent Guard could not stop the herdsmen, Ao Leb stomped his feet, became cruel and ordered the killing.
Spears pierced from the wooden fence, and locust-like arrows shot out. The Mongolian herders surrounded outside the wooden fence were thorned into candied haws and shot into hedgehogs by arrows. But people behind them still rushed in, and soon piled up in front of the wooden fence into a hill of corpses.
"Oh my God of Eternal Life! There are all the people of my Korqin tribe outside!" Seeing his guard massacre his own people, Zaisang knelt on the ground in pain, facing the sky, and shed tears.
The camel firearm team had advanced. Six powerful field guns and two howitzers were pulled by the camel to three hundred steps away from the golden tent. The gunners set up cannons and ignited the cannons at the golden tent.
The shells fell into the Mongolian herdsmen outside the wooden fence, causing a bloody storm. The shells fell into the gold tent guards and smashed over more than a dozen elite gold tent guard soldiers. One of the shells fell in front of Zaisang's gold tent, scaring him to escape from the gold tent and mixing into the soldiers.
The Flang machine cannon and the tiger squat cannon were also pulled up by camels. A hundred steps away from the wooden fence outside the golden tent, the Flang machine cannon and the tiger squat cannon spit out flames, and the shells hit the wooden fence, or drilled into the gaps in the wooden fence, smashing the soldiers of the Golden tent guard behind them to pieces.
The nine-headed bird heavy musket also joined the ranks of shooting. A heavy musket kept spraying fire. This heavy musket projectile that could even penetrate the shield chariot at close range hit the armored herders. A bullet could take away a straight line of life. Countless Mongolians screamed and fell down and turned into a lifeless corpse. That was lucky. The most unfortunate thing was that they were interrupted and could not die for a while. They fell into the corpse and the pile of wounded people and screamed.
Under the Ming army's artillery attack, although Zaisang's guards were seriously injured, there were still more than 3,000 elite guards. Li Guodong looked at the number of people in the Jinzhang camp, and then saw that it was almost dawn. He ordered to give up the attack and prepare to retreat.
"Brother, why didn't you break through the golden tent and kill all the people in Zasang?" Han Dashan heard that he was going to withdraw his troops, so he was so anxious that he came to Li Guodong to ask.
"It's almost dawn. Now the Tartars are not sure how many of us are! Once dawn, Zaisang found that there were not many people and asked the guards to organize all the herdsmen outside, so we were really not easy to deal with." Li Guodong explained.
"But no matter how many of these Dazi, women, children, old and weak, they cannot be our opponents!"
"I'm not afraid of the Korqin Tartars. I'm just worried that they will be entangled. It will be difficult for us to get out! The Mongolian Tartars entangled us and then asked the Jurchens to chase us, so that unnecessary losses will occur, so there is no need! Today, when they attacked Zaisang's golden tent, the Korqin people will definitely withdraw their troops and rescue them!"
Li Guodong just didn't want Zaisang to know his own reality and to hide his position. An army with unknown numbers hid in the Korqin grassland, like a pack of wolves hiding in the dark, popping out from time to time to bite. This is the most terrifying thing. Once the strength is exposed, there will be no sense of mystery, and there will be no deterrence.
Taking advantage of the darkest moment before dawn, the Ming army retreated overnight and left Zaisang's golden tent. On that night, although they failed to capture the golden tent and captured a group of big fish such as Zaisang, the losses caused to the Korqin tribe were extremely huge. The Korqin people were killed and killed in one night, and most of the casualties were either caused by the Golden tent Guards or the Korqin people trampled on each other. The casualties of the Ming army were negligible, and only three cavalry were injured.
"Who was attacking us?" After dawn, the furious Zaisang asked to investigate.
"Back to Master Beile, it's Li Guodong's Mingdog!"
"Li Guodong!" Zaisang yelled at the top of his lungs, "If I don't kill you, I will not be a human being!"
