The big explosion in the granary ambush was certainly earth-shattering, but strictly speaking, the damage caused to the Khalkha Mongols was not even one-tenth.
After all, not everyone ran over to grab food.
After all, Wendul Khan is very big.
Other Mongols were scattered elsewhere.
But the psychological shock caused by this kind of explosion is too great. Under the power of destroying the world, no matter how brave the person is, he will collapse.
And along with it, since the National Defense Forces were able to set up an ambush in the granary, does that mean that their raid has long been exposed?
The difference in strength between the two sides is obvious. Once the surprise attack fails and turns into a frontal battle, all fools will know that the Mongols are no match.
Running became the only option for the Mongols.
Not to mention, they had already seen the mighty National Defense Forces pressing over on the eastern and southern skylines.
The only thing that made them happy was that these National Defense Forces were all infantry, and there was absolutely no way they could outrun the horses under their crotches.
There is still a chance to survive!
It was this idea that made the Mongolians no longer care about anything else but just wanted to leave this terrible place as soon as possible.
This caused Hauge's command to be completely ineffective.
In fact, Hauge made mistakes from the beginning.
In order to tie the Khalkha Mongols firmly to his chariot, he massacred many princes and nobles from the three tribes. Although others were frightened by his butcher knife and chose to obey, it caused the Khalkha Mongols to suffer great consequences.
Breaks between layers.
After all, the Manchus were outsiders.
Although they can have a close relationship with the upper echelons of Khalkha Mongolia, who at the bottom knows them?
It can be said that in the minds of the majority of Khalkha Mongolians, they do not have much feelings towards the Haugs and the Manchus.
Normally, it was okay. Under the step-by-step management, the Khalkha Mongols lived a peaceful life without any changes. But on the battlefield, once people's hearts fluctuated, Haug suddenly discovered that he was unable to restrain the flow of people.
It's a pity that it's too late to regret it now.
He could only flee westward with the defeated army.
Almost everyone had the same idea, to escape back to Hulanhu and lose their temperature.
Only there is the safest place.
As for whether the National Defense Forces will catch up with them, can they hold on to the sudden hypothermia?
The Khalkha Mongols no longer care about this.
Driven by the urge to escape, the war horses ran as fast as they could and fled toward the west.
The National Defense Force behind them quickly disappeared from sight, which finally made the Khalkha Mongols heave a little sigh of relief.
However, they were happy too early.
The National Defense Forces had planned this in advance, so how could they let them go so easily?
The red flag was fluttering on the western horizon, and the dismounted dragoons were in order. There were forests of muskets and cannons.
The scalps of the Khalkha Mongols who came over were numb, and they were already feeling timid even though they were still far away.
They were beaten to a bloody head by the muskets and artillery fire of the National Defense Forces at the foot of Longyuan City, and their memories are still vivid to this day.
At this time, when I saw the Wehrmacht's firearms phalanx, I had no idea of charging.
With no one commanding or taking the lead, the Khalkha Mongolian cavalry naturally turned around and ran towards the north.
Since there are National Defense Forces in the east, south, and west, shouldn't it be appropriate to run north?
Being trapped in the queue, Hauge almost went crazy.
"You can't go north. There are mountains to the north. If you go in, you'll be dead!"
The greatest advantage of the Mongols is the cavalry, which can gallop freely on the vast grasslands. But once they enter the mountains, the horses are of no use and will only end up being slowly eaten away by the infantry of the National Defense Forces.
But no one listened to his call.
The chaotic and roaring sound of horse hooves represents the Mongolians' collapsed mood. They have lost their basic calm.
Moreover, Hauge, an outsider, is even more untrustworthy at this time.
"Master, it's useless. We can't control that much anymore. We have to escape."
Only Fan Ji did his best, stayed by his side and cared about his safety.
Haugelema, looking around, the defeated Khalkha Mongolian troops on the entire land are worse than the driven cattle and sheep. It really makes me want to cry without tears.
"Escape? Where else can you go? It's over, it's over!"
At this point, Hauge was also desperate.
He understands better than anyone else that since they cannot stand in the final Khalkha Mongolia, even though the world is huge, there is no place for them anymore.
When he thought of the distant Liaodong that he could no longer return to and that the defeat of the Khalkha Mongols was certain, Hauge's heart lost its vitality.
"Master, if you keep the green hills, you won't be afraid of running out of firewood. For the sake of hegemony, Liu Bang would give up his wife and children. Liu Bei is alone and has been wandering around for decades. He might as well become a great hero? Master, you must not lose heart. The ship has reached the bridge.
Naturally straight.”
However, Hauge is not Liu Bang or Liu Bei.
As the eldest son of Huang Taiji, he has actually lived a pampered life since he was born.
Even if he has outstanding achievements on the battlefield, most of the time he fights against the wind.
To put it bluntly, Hauge does not have the ability to take on a major responsibility and turn the tide. Otherwise, he would not be out of the game so easily when fighting for the throne.
In terms of talent, intelligence, courage and many other aspects, he is far inferior to Huang Taiji, Dorgon and others.
Hauge, who was confused and confused, could not help himself even though Fan Ji tried his best to talk and talk, so he could only be led by others and follow the defeated army to flee randomly.
From Wendurhan to the north, the terrain becomes less flat.
It starts with rolling hills, with various trails hidden in the middle. When you get to the end, you reach the tall and majestic Kent Mountains.
In fact, although the Khalkha Mongols were frightened, they were not completely out of ideas.
It was not that they had no choice when they ran north.
The Khalkha Mongols also had a small idea, which was to use the hilly areas in the southern part of the Kent Mountains to lead the defense forces in a circle.
Go around and around, and then escape through the mountain valley.
The Khalkha Mongols did not believe that the National Defense Forces were more familiar with the terrain in this area than they were.
Yes.
They guessed correctly.
The Wehrmacht is indeed unfamiliar with the terrain here.
But why should we be familiar?
"Tell all departments to slow down and push forward without leaving any blind spots."
Wang Siyi had already arrived at Wendu'erhan and immediately threw the army at hand into it.
In her opinion, the Khalkha Mongols wanted to take advantage of the terrain, which was purely selfish.
Now two of the three front armies of the Northern Strategic Cluster are here, with more than 400,000 troops. If they are completely dispersed, there will really be no dead ends.
Especially now, she received a report from the Second Front.
Wei Yuanfeng has led the Second Front Army to outflank all roads in the Kent Mountains and established a solid defense line on the south side of the mountains.
The North Road is completely blocked.
If the Khalkha Mongols dare to pass by, they will definitely suffer another disastrous defeat.
Their only way out is to go around the hills.
But the 2nd Division led the 7th Public Security Division, with the 14th Division lying across the south, the 13th Division led the 16th Public Security Division, and the 19th Division lay to the east.
The 1st Cavalry Division is to the west, and the 6th and 18th Public Security Divisions have already moved there.
This is the dragnet and the burial place of the Khalkha Mongols.
