The army of the Northern Yuan Dynasty was never unified. Instead, before the expedition, it was led by the royal court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and then multiple tribes sent troops to form a joint force.

In fact, this can be seen when the cavalry attacks. Tribes of various sizes attach themselves to the left and right of Wang Tingjun and form separate groups.

When the Northern Yuan Army was defeated, these tribal soldiers were the first to fall.

Their allegiance is not to Bei Yuan, but to their own tribe. If the loss is too great, it will have a great impact on the survival of the entire tribe in the grassland.

Therefore, when the casualties were too great, these tribesmen would of course run away.

When one tribe starts to run, other tribes will follow suit, and this is how the army will be defeated.

Fu Youde did not pursue blindly.

Because the opponent's Chinese army camp has not moved yet.

After nearly two hours of fierce fighting, the soldiers were very tired. If they fought forcefully, they could defeat them, but it would cause excessive casualties.

Now Beiyuan is already a turtle in the urn, and Fu Youde has no need to attack by force.

The battlefield was controlled by the Ming army, and a large amount of loot and prisoners were received by the Ming army.

The so-called trophies were mainly on war horses. The weapons and swords of the grassland tribes, even the armor of heavy cavalry, were not favored by the Ming army.

Collecting is still necessary, these are things done by auxiliary soldiers.

During the battle, the auxiliary soldiers from behind had already arrived.

It's the beginning of Youshi now, but it's still bright here and the sun won't set for another two or three hours.

"Reporting to the general, this battle was a great victory. Our army suffered 1,726 casualties, 831 dead, over 13,000 prisoners, and killed over 12,000 enemies."

"More than 10,000 war horses were captured, as well as countless swords and armors."

When Fu Youde heard this, he laughed heartily.

This is an absolute victory. It is impossible not to kill people. It would be okay if it was light cavalry, but Beiyuan has heavy cavalry.

Many of the weapons carried by heavy cavalry are blunt weapons, such as hammers and maces.

Armor cannot provide very good protection at this time, and blunt weapons are specifically designed to target armor.

In other words, Fu Youde defeated the Yuan army with 15,000 cavalry against 70,000 cavalry with a loss of less than 1,000 men. It was truly a great victory.

Adding up the captured and killed enemies, the opponent directly lost nearly half.

These casualties were mainly caused during the pursuit after the collapse of the Beiyuan Army.

"Send the order, the entire army will reorganize and rest for half an hour before attacking again."

It was still early after dark, so of course we had to carry out the second battle.

In Fu Youde's opinion, this second battle will annihilate the Beiyuan Army in one fell swoop.

The prisoners were handed over to the care of the auxiliary soldiers, and many army doctors came to treat the injured soldiers.

These Beiyuan prisoners can also be treated, but no matter how serious their injuries are, they have to wait until all the Ming troops have been treated.

Not only people, injured horses also need treatment.

The uninjured horses were fed corn concentrate and water by the auxiliary soldiers.

The Beiyuan prisoner army howled.

Because most of them were injured by gunpowder, such injuries are the most painful, especially the wounds, which have a very severe burning sensation, as if they were being roasted on a fire.

The Ming army carried a lot of medicine to treat external injuries.

More than a dozen doctors walked among the captive army, each followed by seven or eight soldiers.

Whenever the doctor looked at a prisoner and shook his head, the soldier next to him would step forward and kill him with a knife.

There is no need to waste medicine and food on a dying person.

If they nodded, the soldiers would drop some medicine for them to apply on their own.

The prisoners will not be allowed to eat at this time to prevent them from regaining their strength and rebelling.

Each prairie cavalry has two bags on its horse, one for mare's milk and one for dried meat.

These will all be taken away.

Only wounded prisoners were allowed a small amount of dried meat.

I have to say that compared to the cruelty of the Mongols, the Ming Dynasty treated prisoners relatively well.

Compared to the Ming army, Bei Yuan was much bleaker.

There seemed to be a dark cloud hanging over the Beiyuan camp.

In the big tent of Beiyuan.

Commander Bayar frowned and didn't move away.

Below is a noisy scene of thousands of households.

After the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty took over the Central Plains, most of the tribal leaders were called Wanhu instead of their original names. Most of these Wanhu were once rewarded.

It is said that there are ten thousand households, but in fact some small tribes may have only a few hundred households.

At this moment, there was a lot of noise in the big tent.

"General, retreat. The matchlock guns of the Ming army are too powerful, and their accuracy is too high. Our warriors have already been killed in large areas before they even get close. It is impossible for us to win this kind of war."

"Perhaps we should not have gone against the Ming Dynasty in the first place. Wang Ting's decision was wrong and he betrayed our allies. Now it is Changshengtian who has punished us."

"The armor of the Ming Dynasty is too hard. The surviving warriors of my clan told me that their swords had no effect on the armor of the Ming army. However, the swords of the Ming army can easily break through their armor, which often requires seven or eight warriors.

, can you subdue a Mingqi."

"Our warriors cannot die here in vain. They should return to the grassland. Uzang is not a place we can occupy. General, withdraw your troops."

"Timur's army deceived us. They haven't made any reply yet. After the Ming army has rested, they will definitely attack again. We should evacuate in advance."

For the leaders of thousands of households in these tribes, the warriors of the tribe are the foundation for their survival on the grasslands.

It doesn't matter if Bei Yuan is destroyed, other new khans will appear.

If all the warriors in the tribe die, their tribe will be swallowed up by other tribes.

Therefore, these leaders of ten thousand households have completely lost the will to fight again, and all of them are thinking of how to escape.

Bayar tightened his lips and remained silent.

By this time, he knew very well that he had suffered a huge defeat.

Two consecutive defeats caused great losses to Wang Ting's elite. He no longer knew how to explain to His Majesty when he returned.

A massive 100,000 cavalrymen came over, but now there are less than 40,000 left, and most of them were lost.

Going back is also a dead word.

In fact, Bayar still wants to drag these tribes to fight again. Maybe if he persists, he can wait for Timur's reinforcements?

But under the current situation, he could no longer suppress the leaders of each tribe.

The leaders who spoke were fine, but the leaders who were ashen-faced and silent were called miserable.

Most of them are tribal warriors who have lost half of their warriors. For them, the problem now is how to continue the tribe.

When they return to the grassland, they will face the eager gaze of other tribes.

"Send the order to withdraw the troops."

Bayar held it in for a long time, and finally said this sentence in a limp state.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the Great Account Meeting, many tribal soldiers were already packing their packages and preparing to run away.

Even if Bayar gave an order to reorganize the army, they would not pay attention at all and run away on their own.

Many leaders had already ordered their tribesmen to retreat before coming.

There is no difference whether Bayar's order is given or not.

Beiyuan's anomaly was quickly discovered by the Ming army under surveillance.

The news reached Fu Youde.

"Send the order to the entire army to prepare for attack."

Fu Youde was not surprised to hear that Bei Yuan wanted to run away. He was still very familiar with Bei Yuan's composition.

Before that, he had arranged for two thousand cavalry to ambush behind them and block Bei Yuan's retreat.

It's not that he doesn't want to send more people. Two thousand cavalry is already the limit. These are basically soldiers who still have physical strength on the battlefield.

The cavalry of the Ming army always rested next to their horses. After hearing the military order, they immediately got on their horses and fought again.

Bei Yuan abandoned the slave soldiers and started running on horseback.

In the vast plains, the success rate of escape is actually very high.

Especially for the light cavalry, the Ming army had a lot of heavy armor, so the speed naturally couldn't be too fast, and the battery life was not as long as them.

At this time, Fu Youde's backhand was revealed.
