Chapter 2099 defeat
The sky was like ink, and the sound of cannons in Dawu Town had stopped, but the narrow official road in front of the town was like a Shura field.
The official road was filled with wounded and dead bodies. The wounded had various wounds on their bodies, and the wounds were gushing with blood. Some were wailing on the ground, while others were already dying.
However, the battle continued in front, and the Shi family army maintained an orderly battle formation and continued to advance towards the direction of the broken bridge. The long sword in their hand also swung down fiercely, and the Mongolian cavalry fell off their horses in blood.
Although the elite troops led by Huang Taiji have counterattacked several times, they are in absolute weakness after all, especially with many defeated soldiers who have long been unable to fight. They seem powerless in the face of the unstoppable Shi army.
The war has been fought until now, and there are no plans, and some are the most primitive battles.
The Shi family army had the advantage in numbers and equipment, and its morale was rising in particular. It was precisely the battle formation that maintained the overall orderly slowly crushing the Mongolian cavalry.
"Huang Taiji, we can't hold on to the Khans, let's retreat quickly!" Faced with the Shi family army who were fighting all the way, a loyal guard advised.
Huang Taiji naturally saw that he was completely at a disadvantage, but knew that only by gritting his teeth and persevering, he could save his father's last hope of capturing Dawu Town. He gritted his teeth and issued an order: "You can't retreat, hold on, hold on!"
With this order issued, the Mongolian cavalry in front of them also struggled to hold on, but no one could see the hope of victory.
"Escape, you can escape here!"
The earlier defeated soldiers had no intention of fighting at this time. Although the small road to the west was blocked by Huang Taiji's arrangement, some Mongolian cavalry decided to cross the Beichuan River from the east, so they chose to leave the battlefield.
"Damn it!" Huang Taiji saw the movements of the defeated soldiers there, and immediately gritted his teeth and said angrily.
"kill!"
As the Mongolian cavalry fled, the Mongolian cavalry's resistance became even weaker, and the Shi family army even more fiercely killed the Mongolian cavalry, and blood splashed up.
"Huang Taiji, we can't hold on to the Khans and come to help. If we don't escape, we will have no chance!" The guard looked at the Shi family army approaching step by step, but he advised sadly.
While Huang Taiji was hesitating, a scout rushed to report: "Huang Taiji, it's not good. The Khan has been dragged by the Jizhou army there!"
"Retreat!" After hearing the news, Huang Taiji knew that there was no reason to persist here, so he immediately ordered hatefully.
But his order was still a little late. He thought he could hold on until his father came to reinforce, but his father was actually dragged by the Jizhou army, but he sacrificed the lives of so many subordinates under the sword of the Shi family army.
As Huang Taiji led his remnants to escape from the small road to the east, the Mongolian cavalry had completely collapsed. The Mongolian cavalry was scattered everywhere in the mountains, forests, fields and rivers.
After all, this place is not a prairie, but there are many rivers and mountains in Ningzhou, which makes them feel even more unsure. But now they don’t try to get rid of the pursuers, so they have to explain it here.
"Where to escape!"
Ma Dong looked at the defeated Mongolian cavalry and chose to chase them from the east, directly forcing some Mongolian cavalry to cross the Beichuan River to escape. Although five of them drowned in the river, they saw that they had half of their chances of survival.
The defeated Mongolian soldiers also went down the river without fear of danger.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Ma Dong did not intend to cross the river forcibly, but he also bent his bows and arrows by the river to harvest as much of the lives of these Mongolian cavalry as possible.
"kill!"
The cavalry led by Shi Huashan no longer needed to rely on firearms and chose to use a long sword to harvest the lives of Mongolian cavalry from behind and kill these deserters from behind.
This way of chasing is the easiest way. Catching up is like cutting a melon. Occasionally, a small group of cavalry resisted under the leadership of the leader, but they were crushed head-on.
When the battle reached this point, the two sides were in a world of energy and spirit. With the direct fight, this kind of pursuit was almost a battle to bully the weak, and the blood of the Mongolian cavalry quickly stained the whole way.
However, the disadvantages of heavy cavalry also slowly emerged. Their movement speed was lower than that of light cavalry. When they chased from a small road to a large road, they could only watch Huang Jitai lead the remaining troops away.
However, Huang Taiji was defeated this time, leading tens of thousands of troops to invade Dawu Town, but only led a few hundred people to flee in a hurry.
There were constant shouts of killing, and the grass was stained with blood.
"kill!"
When Ma Fang saw Altan joining the battlefield, he also led his personal guards to kill Altan.
Once Altan stays here, with the current complex political situation in Mongolia, the newly established Jin Kingdom will surely be destroyed, and Mongolia will inevitably fall into civil strife.
For them, this was undoubtedly a result of all benefits and no harm. They were even able to solve the problem in the north in one fell swoop, so that Mongolia could no longer threaten them.
Altan also noticed that Ma Fang was coming towards him, but soon learned that his son was defeated. He knew that it was impossible to go north from Dawu Town again, and immediately issued an order: "Retreat!"
When the battle situation developed to this point, he knew that the defeat had been decided. As Lin Junran said, the battlefield has always been dominated by strong defeating the weak, and there is no reason to defeat the strong by weak.
The 60,000 troops he led this time have already lost most of the losses, and now his son has been plotted against again. Once the Shi family army comes to support him, he may have to stay here.
"It's really abominable!"
After receiving the news of Huang Taiji's defeat, Zhao Quan also beat the horse hard and left.
Originally, he hoped that Altan could take Shanxi in one fell swoop, and he could become a manager here. However, the situation has developed to this point, and his wishful thinking has completely failed.
"Walk!"
Altan felt a secret hatred in his heart and led his personal guards to the direction of Ningzhou City.
Although Qi Jiguang wanted to intercept Altan, he knew that the chariot formation seemed powerful, but it had great disadvantages. If he chose to pursue it rashly, he would probably be counter-killed, so he could only watch Altan.
Leave by.
The Ma family army knew Altan's strength well. If it were not for Jizhou army to assist, it would not be Altan's opponent, but it would only pursue half a mile and return the same way.
Just looking at the corpses of Mongolian cavalry on the battlefield, I had the illusion of dreaming.
If it were in advance, who would have thought that Altan would have led 60,000 cavalry to invade, and would have been such a disastrous defeat. This time, their Ming army was truly proud.
