Chapter 300
Leading the more than 4 Qiyan tribe troops in Alslen, as soon as they came out of the camp and marched eastward, they were discovered by the Changsheng Battalion scouts who were hiding in the distance of the Qiyan tribe camp to explore the military situation.
The scouts of the Changsheng Camp saw the change in the army of the Qiyan Division, and they seemed to be looking for a decisive battle with the Changsheng Camp, so they hurried back to their own camp to report.
At this time, the Changsheng Battalion's scouts all consisted of one man and three horses. Because it was an urgent military situation, these scouts all spared no effort.
With a distance of more than 100 miles, the speed of the three war horses ran to the extreme, and the Qiyan army rushed back to the Changsheng camp an hour earlier.
When Xiao Qi first established the Changsheng Camp, he attached great importance to the development of the Scout Camp.
When these scouts rushed back to the camp, they kept warning the other scouts. The other scouts got their warning and left a very small number of scouts to observe the situation. The others went to notify the scouts in other directions to return to the camp.
Ma Shoucheng was overjoyed when he learned that the scouts reported that the Qiyan tribe's 4-strong army actually wanted to fight him.
After chasing the rest of the Qiyan tribe for half a month, they always fled all the way and refused to fight. Everyone is a cavalry army. Not only is the Qiyan tribe more familiar with the environment here than Changshengying, but they are also very skilled in riding.
Although he led the Changsheng battalion to chase after him as hard as he could, the Qiyan tribe who fled in front refused to let the Changsheng battalion get close to within a hundred miles.
Once they found that the Changsheng Battalion was within a hundred miles of them, they would immediately flee without giving the Changsheng Battalion a chance to fight them.
At most, this is what it is like now. The two armies set up camp together about 150 miles apart. Once they found that the Changsheng Battalion was within a hundred miles, they immediately pulled out of the camp and ran away.
With a distance of more than 100 miles, even if the horse guards lead the troops to catch up quickly, the horses will be very tired after running so fast for more than 100 miles, and they will not be able to catch up with the Qiyan army that has already escaped from camp.
Ma Shoucheng has been depressed by the escape of the Qiyan tribe.
Now that he learned that the army of the Qiyan tribe had come to him for a decisive battle, his heart was filled with joy.
Quickly ordered that the artillery battalion in the army set up all the mortars to the west in the direction of the Qiyan tribe, and the [-] cavalry mounted with themselves and prepared to charge after the artillery formation.
In addition, nearly [-] soldiers armed with new muskets dug trenches in front of the artillery array to meet the Qiyan troops attacking the camp.
As soon as their preparations were ready, more than 4 troops of the Qiyan Department came ten miles away from the Changsheng Camp under the leadership of Arslen.
Arslen knew that the scouts of these Song people were very powerful, and the Song people would definitely know that he had found a decisive battle this time, so he did not let the army run wild on the way here.
Instead, he asked the army to keep its horsepower and move at a constant speed, and he did not dare to let the army dismount dozens of miles away from the Song Army's camp for rest, because he was worried that the Song Army would take the opportunity to attack and kill his own army.
This is also the main reason why the Changsheng Battalion has time to make all preparations.
The Qiyan tribe's army stopped five miles away from the Song Army's camp. Alsileng saw that the Song Army's cavalry was only gathering in the camp and did not come out to fight against him.
Raising the whip in his hand, he pointed at the cavalry of the Changsheng Battalion in the opposite camp, then turned his head and shouted to the soldiers of the Qiyan tribe:
"Fellow warriors!
Did you see it?
These Song people are all as timid as mice and will only rely on their sharp weapons to fight.
You don't have the guts to fight us like a man!
Many of us may die under their sharp mysterious weapons in this battle.
But don't be afraid, as long as we rush over and fight among these cowardly Song people, we will win!
Warriors!The time has come to avenge our people, rush over!Kill these cowards! "
Arslen's sentence that it's time to avenge our people completely ignited the more than 4 soldiers of the Qiyan tribe.
Following the word "Chong" from Alsleng's mouth, the more than 4 beggar troops shouted in unison and charged towards the main camp of Changsheng Camp.
Although they knew that the Song people had a very powerful weapon like a thunderbolt, they were just bystanders that time.
Most people had the same idea as Alsileng. Only a small half of the tribesmen were killed by those mysterious weapons in the last battle. Most of them died after being thrown off their horses by frightened horses.
They felt that as long as they were not unlucky enough to be directly attacked by the mysterious weapon, they could control their horses and rush into the Song army's camp to win this victory.
But when they themselves were in such a battlefield, they realized how ridiculous their thoughts were. Not to mention that the war horses could not be controlled at all. Even the mysterious weapons of the Song Army were denser this time than the last time they saw them. a lot of.
How did they know that the [-] Changsheng Battalion cavalry that escorted wounded soldiers last time only had [-] mortars.
But this time they were facing the main force of the Changsheng Battalion, and the number of mortars alone reached [-].
When Ma Shoucheng saw the Qiyan army on the opposite side, he rushed straight to his camp without any idea of life or death. He knew that he would definitely be able to keep all the more than 4 people behind this time.
After Arslen led an army of more than 4 beggars and rushed into the range of the mortar.
Changsheng Battalion had already prepared a well-prepared artillery bombardment position, and the sound of "dong", "dong", "dong" and "dong" could be heard non-stop.
The [-] mortars in the artillery battalion this time are not comparable to the previous [-] mortars. In addition, there is sufficient preparation time here, and a large number of shells and people who pass the shells are prepared behind each gun.
The cannonballs that fell like raindrops exploded among the more than 4 cavalry of the Qiyan tribe. The army of the Qiyan tribe, whose morale was like a rainbow, instantly turned into a scene of Shura.
Everywhere is the flames of falling and exploding shells, and there are blown limbs and blood all around!
The people who originally wanted to control their horses to kill them were thrown off one by one by the horses they were sitting on, and trampled into flesh by the horses running around.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that this scene is like hell on earth. One word of tragedy cannot describe such a scene.
What's even more terrible is that these people had planned to try their best to control the life-threatening forward charge of the war horses, thinking of rushing through the area covered by the Song people's mysterious weapons as soon as possible and entering the Song army.
So they pushed the horse speed to the extreme from the very beginning.
This caused them to suffer consequences they had not expected after being bombarded.
The first third of the galloping Qiyan cavalry were covered in artillery and turned upside down. The cavalry and horses following them were frightened and changed direction at high speed.
This caused the war horses and the Qiyan soldiers on the horses to fall heavily to the ground. Not to mention the people on the horses, even half of the war horses were seriously injured.
Although the horses of the Qiyan tribe behind were also frightened, they were still able to control the horses and could not make the horses run wild, but with such a fast horse speed, so many people and horses fell down in front!
No matter how good the riding skills of the people behind were, they couldn't avoid the horses sitting down rushing into the pile of people who fell to the ground, and the end result was that their horses were tripped and thrown out together.
This is not over yet, Song people's artillery is still bombarding the area within a radius of one or two miles!
awful! ,
Indescribably miserable!
These more than 4 people were still invincible just now, and the army of the begging tribe who seemed to be trampled by them, lost nearly [-] people in just half a quarter of an hour!
Of course, there were nearly ten thousand people who were lucky enough not to rush out in the range of the shells falling. Although the horses were frightened, they ran in the direction of the Changsheng camp.
Just when the people on the horses thought they could finally fight the Song army, suddenly many Song soldiers appeared from the shallow trenches in front of the Song army camp, and fired at them with muskets.
At this time, the new muskets replaced by Changsheng Camp can be called rifles. Because they use shell bullets and have rifling in the barrel, the accuracy of these guns is much better than the previous muskets.
Nearly [-] Qiyan cavalry who rushed over were killed in half after only one round of shooting.
Those war horses that were already frightened were frightened again by the gunshots like firecrackers that suddenly appeared not far ahead, turned around and ran in other directions.
Ma Shoucheng saw that more than half of the more than 4 people in the Qiyan tribe had been wiped out, and even those who survived lost their combat effectiveness because of the frightened horses and the scene in front of them.
Quickly ordered to stop the shelling, there are still [-] to [-] horses there!
Can't just waste it in vain!
After the order to stop the bombardment, Ma Shoucheng raised his sword and waved it in the air: "These Qiyan tribesmen who are trying to murder the King of Zhenbei will not be left behind, but those horses must be kept, kill!"
Following the order of Ma Shoucheng's attack, the 2 Changsheng Battalion cavalry rushed out of the camp like a tide, and killed the remaining [-] people from the Qiyan tribe who had begun to flee in all directions.
The [-] cavalrymen of the Victory Battalion were armed with swords and were already very powerful.
In addition to the remaining [-] soldiers of the Qiyan tribe, either their horses were frightened and out of control, or they were scared out of their wits by the sight in front of them and just wanted to run for their lives.
The massacre ended after an hour. The reason why it took an hour was because most of the soldiers of the Qiyan Department just blindly ran for their lives on horseback, and did not dare to turn around and fight at all.
If they hadn't already driven more than 100 miles before their arrival and the horses were tired, they would have had to chase for another hour.
After the war, Ma Shoucheng left [-] cavalry troops and [-] musketeers to clean up the battlefield, and the artillery battalion stayed on guard to prevent the [-] beggars who had disappeared from coming to steal the camp.
He led an army of [-] cavalry, and rushed towards their camp in the direction that the Qiyan army came.
Ma Shoucheng felt that something must have happened to the Qiyan Department, otherwise the Qiyan Department, which had been trying to avoid the battle before, would not suddenly turn around and come to actively attack him,
Arriving at the Qiyan Department's camp a hundred miles away, Ma Shoucheng looked at the empty camp and the chaotic tracks hurriedly leaving toward the north, and became even more convinced that something was wrong with the Qiyan Department.
It should be that the disagreement was divided into two parts, and those who tried their best to avoid the war fled northward with the remaining [-] people.
And the more than 4 people who fought hard have been slaughtered by the Changsheng Battalion just now.
Looking at the ruts fleeing northward, Ma Shoucheng didn't chase immediately.
After a big battle, they traveled more than 100 miles, and the men and horses were exhausted, so it was not wise to go after the enemy for a long distance.
Several scout teams were sent out to let them explore the situation within a hundred miles, mainly to find out the direction in which the remaining [-] people from the Qiyan tribe in the north were fleeing.
He ordered the army to enter the deserted camp, carefully checked whether it was safe, whether there were any traps, and then ordered people to go to the rear to send orders, and ordered them to come here to join him immediately after cleaning the battlefield.
Ma Shoucheng sat in the big tent that his own soldiers had packed up for him, recalling the explanation given to him by his son-in-law, Xiao Qi, before he started the army.
Xiao Qi told Ma Shoucheng that no one on the Mongolian prairie in the north was the opponent of Changsheng Camp, and those from the Qiyan tribe were nothing to worry about.
But he was ordered to lead the Changsheng Camp back to Xixia for the winter immediately after the weather turned cold.
He was also given a hand-drawn drawing of a fire pit and asked him to build such a fire pit in every barracks in the military camp to ensure that the soldiers would not be troubled by the severe cold.
After all, the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion were all southerners, and the southern soldiers would not be able to adapt to the cold winter in the north. He was strictly ordered not to pursue the enemy in winter, and he had to go north again in the early part of the second year when the weather warmed up.
The blueprint of Ma Shoucheng had already been handed over to the craftsmen in the army, and barracks and fire pits were started to be built in several places in the former Xixia Kingdom. People were also ordered to start digging coal mines in several places in Xixia and Mongolian grasslands according to the address given by the commander Xiao Qi.
Ma Shoucheng was very anxious, and now it was less than a month before the day when the son-in-law decided to withdraw.
The leader of the Qiyan tribe who wanted to flee north also understood that although the Changsheng Battalion had unparalleled combat power, it could not withstand the severe cold winter in the north, so he deliberately led the Qiyan tribe to turn around and flee north, trying to use the cold winter in the north to prevent him from leading troops to pursue them. them.
Shaking his head and sighing, Ma Shoucheng had no choice but to write a letter to the commander Xiao Qi about the situation here, explaining that the begging team's lair had been wiped out by his own men.
Moreover, nearly [-] of the [-] Qiyan tribe's army have been killed by themselves, and only about [-] of the Qiyan tribe were led by a leader named Temujin to flee northward.
He will obey his order and return to the original Xixia territory to spend the winter before the first heavy snowfall. When the weather gets warmer next year, he will raise troops to hunt down the remaining [-] Qiyan troops.
After sending someone to send the letter to the commander-in-chief Xiao Qi, Ma Shoucheng once again ordered that the 3 troops that entered the prairie this time be divided into three teams, each with [-] people, and one led by him to continue chasing and killing Qi Yan who fled north. The remnant army for one month.
A team of 3 people was responsible for transporting the large amount of goods seized this time, such as cattle and sheep, back to the Song Dynasty, and another team of 3 people swept across the prairie.
The tribes on this land must admit that this prairie is the territory of the Song Dynasty, and the entire tribe must swear to submit to the Song Dynasty and be willing to be a citizen of the Song Dynasty.
All those who do not want to be the common people of the Great Song Dynasty must leave here with their families immediately, and those who do not leave will be killed without mercy.
Soon Ma Shoucheng's order was effectively implemented, and a large number of cattle, sheep and goods were transported to the original Xixia territory, and were transported back to the Song Dynasty by the logistics troops transporting the luggage.
And all the tribes on this grassland are willing to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty and become the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
So far, the entire Mongolian prairie extends to Lake Baikal in the north, Xixia in the south, Altai Mountains in the west, and Sakhalin Island in the east, all of which are included in the territory of the Song Dynasty!
