After a fierce battle all night, the soldiers of the heavy armor battalion who had just been killed were all exhausted and felt exhausted and extremely sore.
He just sat down on the grass. He was already tired from fighting, and he was wearing such heavy armor and fighting continuously for so long, especially this kind of close-quarters fighting that was extremely exhausting and desperate.
"Each department quickly counted the battle damage, collected all the lost horses and weapons, and sorted out all the corpses of our soldiers!"
As an officer of the Central Military Commission, Ma Xianglin was naturally responsible for these affairs. After the statistics and counting were completed, he would report to the emperor.
Moreover, war horses are strategic materials that are urgently needed by the Ming army. The more of these things, the better. However, the Ming army does not like the weapons and armor of the Mongols, so of course they cannot just be discarded here.
Even if the Ming army does not need them, they cannot leave them to the Mongols to pick them up. They must do everything possible to destroy all these things.
Seeing that the battle was over, Zhu Youxiao quickly rode towards the Shenji Camp.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Stay safe. The Tartars attacked just now. Did you suffer any losses?"
Chen Guang stood up, cupped his hands and said:
"Returning to Your Majesty, it was a close call. I was almost attacked by the Tartar cavalry. Fortunately, General Wu Shizhong was alert and discovered in time, so it did not cause a catastrophe!"
Seeing that the Shenji Battalion was intact, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief. Although he said he valued the cavalry more, that was only relative.
The thousands of soldiers and generals in the Shenji Battalion were also forged by themselves through hard work. They are all the elites of the Zhejiang soldiers and the Beijing camp. Especially the Zhejiang soldiers are very good at using firearms and have rich battle experience.
If they are lost like this, it will undoubtedly be a heavy blow. Although it does not take long to train firearms soldiers, they are ultimately not as good as these veterans.
"This battle is my fault in deployment strategy and my negligence!"
Although it is said that the king knows his mistakes and corrects them but does not admit them, there is still time to do so. Only those with unstable foundations and those who need to maintain their authority and rule need it.
For example, someone like Cao Cao, who was suspicious and had an unstable rule, was obviously not needed by Zhu Youxiao. The Ming Dynasty has been in existence for more than 200 years and has experienced more than a dozen emperors. It can be said that the ruling ideology is deeply rooted and there is no need to play at all.
Such a little trick.
"Your Majesty's words are serious. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and front-line matters rely on generals to adapt to changes. I believe that your Majesty's deployment is flawless."
Naturally, Zhu Youxiao would not be too relieved by his minister's compliments.
"Quickly clean up the battlefield, check the ammunition, gunpowder, firearms and artillery. If there is any damage, seize the time to repair it. There will be another battle later!"
"yes!"
The battle damage was quickly counted. In this battle, more than 7,200 Tartars were killed and more than 800 were captured. There are no statistics on horses for the time being. Judging from this data, the number of lucky escapers is probably only in double digits at most.
The casualties of the Ming army were much greater than those in the Battle of Karaqin. Nearly a thousand people died in the battle, and the casualties totaled more than 2,000 people. However, most of them were slightly injured, which Zhu Youxiao could barely accept.
After all, the Ming army came from a thousand-mile expedition, and the Mongolian cavalry was recuperating. The state of the Ming army before the war dropped a lot compared to before, and they attacked hastily. Some people are now unaccustomed to the local environment and forcefully go into battle.
Moreover, these Mongolian cavalry are all young and strong main force, and they are not comparable to the old, weak, sick and disabled people of the Karaqin tribe. After this battle, I am afraid that in the entire Monan Mongolia, Chahanhot will only have a sizable main force.
.
"Instruct all the generals to quickly assemble their troops. After a short rest, they will attack the headquarters of the Wengniu Special Division in half an hour. Tell the soldiers to go to the Tartar camp to kill cattle and sheep and eat them to their heart's content.
, sleep with him!"
Zhu Youxiao had no time to give his troops a good rest now. He had wiped out the main Mongolian force of more than 8,000 people, and was just going to pursue the victory and wipe out the Tartar tribe in one fell swoop.
Once those Mongolians knew that their army had been wiped out, they would probably all flee for their lives immediately. Zhu Youxiao's purpose in coming to the grassland was to attack their effective strength.
"Your Majesty, what should we do with those prisoners?"
Ma Xianglin could not decide on the matter of taking prisoners. This kind of matter must be decided by the emperor.
And Zhu Youxiao said coldly:
"Why do I want to take prisoners? Kill them!"
Ma Xianglin responded and left. He had the same idea. These prisoners were of no use at all, but were a burden to them.
And Zhu Youxiao sneered in his heart, joking, he was ready to kill all of them, are you still naive to recruit them to surrender? Do you still naively think that they will really be loyal to you?
Moreover, these people are die-hard fans of Lin Dan Khan. They may temporarily surrender in order to survive, but once they have the opportunity, they will not settle down. He does not need these wastes!
The Ming army quickly replenished some food and water. After a short rest, the military order arrived, and more than 10,000 people rushed towards the Wengniute troop station.
At this time, at the main camp of the Wengniute Division, these Mongolians were waiting anxiously one by one. The life or death of their sons, husbands, and fathers was now uncertain.
“The leader and the others have been gone for so long, I don’t know what happened to them!”
Bayar's wife is the most nervous and must not be defeated, otherwise the tribe will be doomed.
"Ming Army, Ming Army is here again, everyone, run away!"
A Mongolian knight who went out to inquire about the situation had not yet entered the camp. He shouted at the top of his lungs from a distance, but they couldn't hear him clearly.
As soon as he entered the camp, he panted and said:
"Failed...defeated!"
"The Ming army is coming soon!"
When everyone heard the word "defeat", they felt like the sky was falling. Those who responded quickly went back to pack their things and ran away. Soon, the news of the defeat of the Mongolian cavalry spread throughout the camp, and the camp was in chaos.
Some people who care about their lives don't care about it at all, and just ride out and run wildly. They also clean up their messes and save their lives first.
But not everyone can think this way. In the eyes of most people, if there are no cattle, sheep and food, what is the difference between death and death? They are simply reluctant to give up.
They hurriedly packed their things and prepared to run away, but the Ming army would not give them time. Zhu Youxiao saw the chaos in the Mongolian garrison two miles away through the Thousand Miles Realm, and decisively ordered:
"Li Songping, Mangui!"
"I'm here!"
"You two, lead all the cavalry, attack immediately, kill all the Tartars, and don't surrender!"
"The Taishan Battalion and the Shenji Battalion quickly outflanked and outflanked them. Don't let a single Tartar escape!"
The generals responded and left, and the Ming army's brave cavalry launched a charge towards the enemy's station. They wanted to completely destroy this place!
When the Mongolians stationed in the camp saw that the Ming army had begun to attack, they had already begun to fight for the horses. The men began to beat women and children mercilessly, just to snatch the horses that belonged to others.
Bayar's wife was helpless at this time. Those slaves did not listen to her orders now. If she had not had several personal guards around her, she might not have been spared either.
Mangui took the lead, rushed in first and shouted:
"kill!"
