Chapter 985: Aggrieved(1/2)
The Tatar army experienced two rout in one day.
At this point, almost everyone couldn't hold it any longer.
After dispatching 20,000 people, the remaining large troops also packed up their things and prepared to run away after hearing the news that the enemy army was pursuing them.
Zhu Houzhao led the army and chased him all the way.
At this time, they were even more excited than the Tatars who had just chased them!
There is no doubt about it.
This was their biggest victory against Mongolia after the Tumubao Incident!
Excitement and fanaticism swept everyone.
Why don't chase the poor criminals? That's all for later.
Zhu Houzhao ran at the front and looked at the fleeing Tatar army, his eyes shining with excitement.
During the pursuit, he seemed to see a man dressed differently from ordinary soldiers.
When that man retreated, he was not as panicked as the others.
He even had time to look back at them.
The man's eyes swept across and looked at Zhu Houzhao.
Seeing this leading general who was younger than the previous white-faced scholar, he seemed slightly stunned.
However, the pursuer was right in front of him, and he did not stop.
He walked away with the fleeing people.
It was already dusk at this time.
If we continue chasing, it will be dark.
A group of them did not have the conditions to fight at night, so Zhu Houzhao could only order to stop the pursuit.
The army reined in the reins and looked at the Tatars escaping in a hurry, and everyone laughed.
Zhu Houzhao raised the sword in his hand high and shouted hoarsely with his voice that had already been hoarse: "We have won!"
"We won!"
The army behind them all raised their weapons and echoed.
"We win!"
Along with the shouts, everyone's faces were filled with the joy of triumph.
During the pursuit, Zhao Ce finally came to rest.
At this time, he also raised the weapon in his hand and laughed with everyone.
Later, we still have to clean the battlefield and count the casualties.
But at this time, everyone should enjoy the joy of victory!
Zhao Ce's hands were shaking from overuse.
But he didn't care at all.
"You are so useful against ten thousand enemies!"
Zhu Houzhao laughed and rode beside Zhao Ce.
"Is this the weapon you said before that can be used with hot air balloons?"
When Zhu Houzhao saw the use of this ten thousand enemy, he remembered what Zhao Ce had said when he introduced the use of hot air balloons to him.
Zhao Ce said it at that time.
The damage caused by hot air balloons combined with bombs that can be thrown downwards is definitely a powerful weapon against cavalry.
Now it seems that the effect will definitely be better than imagined!
Listening to his hoarse voice, Zhao Ce also smiled and replied: "It's still a little bit worse to use it in a field battle with an enemy of ten thousand people."
"It's actually not very good to cooperate with hot air balloons for the time being."
"If we can overcome the problems of the stability of the hot air balloon in the air as well as the load capacity and fuel, the combination of the two will definitely exert incredible power."
Zhu Houzhao said with confidence: "The scientific research institute has been established and a lot of people have been recruited."
"After I return, I must ask them to speed up research and development and perfect these two things as soon as possible!"
...
While everyone in the Ming army was enjoying the joy of this hard-won victory, the little prince who was being chased finally stopped.
At this time, dusk fell, and there was a layer of white mist on the ground.
The little prince had no choice but to send spies out to prevent the Ming army from making a sneak attack in the middle of the night, and then rushed to recover the retreating troops.
In war, sometimes the more people, the better.
Even if ten people kill one person, there will still be a few people outside who won't come in for a while.
At this time, there are many people, and it is more troublesome to recover the retreating troops.
They worked until the moon was at its peak, and then they managed to collect more than 20,000 people.
These people who have been gathered back are basically the remaining troops left behind to prepare for the general offensive tomorrow.
As for those soldiers who fought head-on and were completely defeated.
It was so late at night, and he really couldn't get back together anytime soon.
After the spies were released, the little prince summoned his generals to discuss matters.
The general who initially said that there were no people on the other side and would directly launch a general attack was covering his face covered in blood.
When he led his troops to pursue the opponent, he was hit by the debris exploded by the enemy.
At this time, blood was still flowing from his face.
A Tatar soldier was holding a candle and using his hands to pull out the broken pieces of porcelain stuck in his face.
"Hiss~"
A piece of broken porcelain was pulled out, and he took a breath of air.
After he had pulled them all out, he cursed angrily.
"Damn it!"
"What the hell kind of weapon is this? It's so disgusting!"
Thinking of some soldiers with broken porcelain shards stuck in their eyes, he felt a chill.
If this thing brought out by the Ming army can kill people, its power is probably limited.
But its explosion damage is so wide that even soldiers wearing armor cannot avoid the damage.
This annoying weapon can be difficult to use offensively.
But defense is definitely a great weapon!
So those Ming soldiers did not use this weapon at first, but fought with them hand to hand, just to lure them cavalry to gather together and attack again!
The Ming troops chased them until after dusk and stopped pursuing them.
However, despite this, the remaining Tatars were already convinced that their attack was definitely a trap.
Everyone lost their will to fight.
Originally, a large force was organized this time and traveled a long distance. They must have made enough money before leaving.
Not having caught anything now, he just ran away in a hurry, throwing away a lot of things he had grabbed earlier.
Seeing the big piece of fat right in front of me, I wanted to take a bite.
As a result, what I bit into was not fat, but stones.
She even chipped her teeth.
The little prince who fled back in panic was also feeling aggrieved.
During the first battle, he was basically sure that his information was correct.
However, the firepower of this group of Ming troops was completely different from before.
He originally thought that he could easily rush past the cannon due to his own numerical suppression.
But I didn't expect it to be completely different from the cannons of the past.
Later, for the sake of safety, he also sent a lot of additional troops.
As a result, the retreat this time was even more complete.
And when he looked back just now, where was the Ming army's thousand defenders?
The special ones obviously cost tens of thousands!
