Ming Zuo

Chapter 1720 Invincible

If well-bred horses, hard-trained cavalry and well-crafted armor are enough to bridge the gap between agricultural cavalry and nomadic cavalry, then the large-scale assembly of muskets means that agricultural cavalry has completely crushed nomadic cavalry .

With the blessing of advanced weapons, the qualities required by traditional cavalry, such as superb horsemanship, talent for riding and shooting, etc., all become no longer important.

No matter how good your equestrian skills are, no matter how good your riding and shooting skills are, can you avoid the guns?
Can it shoot farther than a musket?

It can be said that the large-scale equipment of muskets has caused the training cost of agricultural cavalry to plummet.

And the farming civilization has extremely powerful resource blessings.

Although this has not disappeared, but he has made great progress, so the offense and defense have changed.

The officers and soldiers of the Second Cavalry Division have never fought such a happy battle.

The light cavalry galloped to the front, and they were more than 50 meters away from the enemy, and they raised their guns to fight.

Although the accuracy dropped significantly on the galloping horse, but because the distance was close enough, there was no need to worry too much about the bullets missing.

The loading method of WIN94 ensures that the cavalry can be easily manipulated in the galloping state.

One or two muskets may be quite insufficient, but under the hail of bullets from tens of thousands of muskets, the Mongols were completely wiped out.

Each soldier can fire eight bullets in one breath, and more than 1 soldiers can fire more than 8 bullets.

And so many ammunition can be fired within a few breaths, just thinking about that scene, you know how terrifying it is.

Sure enough, under such unprecedented coverage of gunfire, more than half of the Mongols disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The remaining ones were also completely stunned and completely lost their courage.

At this point, not to mention the cavalry of the National Defense Forces, even ordinary people can complete the harvest of the remnants of the enemy.

The cavalry put the loaded muskets behind their backs, picked up their sabers, and killed the enemies who hadn't put down their weapons.

Oziltu Khan is more unlucky.

His battlefield experience is not as rich as that of Batur Huntaiji. In order to show his status, he wears a more flamboyant bag, and there are all kinds of flags around him.

So during the first round of strikes by the National Defense Forces, he became the focus of care.

Just the artillery bombardment in front scattered his guards.

Before he could gather his formation, the light cavalry rushed up, and under the torrent of bullets, Oziertuhan was beaten into a sieve on the spot.

After his death, the Heshuo Special Department became even more leaderless, and everyone rushed to escape first.

But these people have been fighting for a day, and they are already exhausted. How can they have the strength to escape?
The recharged light cavalry of the Wehrmacht pursued and killed them, not letting a single enemy go.

Anyway, on the vast open plains, the enemy had nowhere to hide and couldn't get out of sight.

The Heshuote people ran and ran, and the more they ran, the fewer people there were, and the pursuit of the Second Cavalry Division was getting closer and closer.

In the end, they couldn't run anymore, and their mentality completely collapsed.

Those who remained simply jumped off their horses, threw away their weapons, and chose to surrender.

To their surprise, the National Defense Forces who were chasing up saw the people who surrendered, and instead of massacring them, they just gathered together and detained them.

Seeing that their lives were safe, more and more people surrendered.

This also effectively reduced the will of Heshuo to resist.

In the end, the battlefield was the first to calm down.

The Heshuo Special Department can be said to have been wiped out.

Oqier Tuhan was killed on the spot, more than 300 princes and nobles were killed and injured, and more than [-] generals from more than [-] households were captured.

On the other hand, the fate of the Junggar tribe was not much better.

The heavy cavalry came from behind, so they were the first to bear the brunt.

Once the heavy cavalry charge up, they will be destroyed, and they will not stop until they trample all the enemies.

So looking down from a high altitude, a spectacle appeared.

Where the heavy cavalry of the Second Cavalry Division passed, a large area of ​​emptiness suddenly appeared on the ground.It was as if a razor had been slashed across the top of the head, in stark contrast to the thick hair next to it.

The Junggars who were not on the route of the heavy cavalry's charge were all in shock and could only choose to avoid and escape.

The battle has come to such an extent that even the most foolish of men know they are doomed.

For the Mongols, there is no psychological burden to escape after losing.

As for the life and death of Da Khan, it doesn't matter.

But the Mongols who escaped from both sides of the heavy cavalry were too happy.

Behind the heavy cavalry, the dragoons had already dismounted, followed by a rigorous array of muskets.

The Junggars have long lost momentum, and their formation is scattered. When encountering such a terrifying array of muskets, there is no other result except for falling down row by row.

Batur Huntaiji was a little braver, and he barely organized his guards, avoiding the charge of the heavy cavalry and then charged desperately towards the periphery.

He originally thought that the dragoons were infantry without armor, so they should be able to find a gap to break through.

So he saw the most powerful and dense firepower network in the world.

There seemed to be an invisible wall in front of him. No matter how tragic the Mongols' charge was, as long as they reached that line, they would be smashed to pieces and disappear in smoke.

In a short while, more than [-] corpses were piled up in front of the invisible wall, which had already hindered the actions of the follow-up cavalry.

However, the firepower of the dragoons on the opposite side showed no signs of sparseness. On the contrary, the front line was pressing harder and harder, leaving less and less room for the Mongols to move.

Behind them, the heavy cavalry finally completed the first wave of crushing.

The war horse slowed down slowly, finally stopped on the spot, and then turned around directly.

This is the benefit of wall charge.

Unlike wedge formations, cavalry need to go around in circles to complete the turn.

The heavy cavalry who turned around on the spot regained their formation a little, and slowly picked up their speed again.

Once crushed again, the remaining Junggar people will all be buried on this grassland.

"Surrender!"

Batuer Huntaiji, who was covered in scars and exhausted, finally recognized the reality and gave the order helplessly.

If the fight continues, the entire Junggar tribe will perish.

In fact, without his order, many Junggar people who knew the current affairs jumped off their horses and threw away their weapons.

His order was tantamount to making the most tenacious group of people in the Junggar tribe lose their will to fight.

The Mongols dismounted one after another, threw away their weapons, and silently walked to the open space aside to accept the enemy's verdict.

The sound of the trumpet to stop the attack actually made the officers and soldiers of the National Defense Forces feel a little unsatisfied.

Just because this battle is too easy.

It was the fastest they had ever been in combat.

In just over two hours, the Oirat Mongolia, which dominated the Western Regions, was completely defeated.

This has caused many people to feel unrealistic, and wonder whether the military exploits will be reduced because of this.

Under the stars holding the moon, the dusty Zuo Shi slowly walked in front of the dejected Batuer Huitaiji.

He lifted his visor, revealing his clear face, which surprised Batur Huntaiji for a while.

Junggar Khan, who has been in the Western Regions for decades, lost to such a young man?
Only when Zuo Shi's saber was resting on his shoulders did Batur Huntaiji finally wake up.

By now, he was already a prisoner.

"On behalf of the Imperial Defense Forces, this general officially accepts your surrender."
