But before the Mongolian cavalry could slash down with its scimitar, one of the three military policemen opposite him at the front of the line immediately triggered the crossbow!
With the sound of the crossbow string, the Mongolian cavalryman was hit by a crossbow arrow on his shoulder. The severe pain and strong inertia made the Mongolian cavalryman throw away his scimitar and fall to the ground on his back!
"Damn it! That's all money, don't waste it on me!" Han Siwen saw this and sat on his horse and cursed!
"Don't worry! My lord, I was just shot in the shoulder. Just put some medicine on the wound and it will be fine!" The guy who shot down the Mongolian cavalry re-stringed the crossbow and shouted with a smile!
After he loaded the crossbow, he aimed it directly at the Mongolian cavalry who was covering his shoulders and wailing. The other two military policemen immediately stepped forward, pulled out the Mongolian cavalry, took off his leather robe, and then used the belt that tied his robe. Trapped him!
By this time, the military police search team had entered the battlefield. They carefully checked every fallen Mongolian cavalry. If they were dead, they would cut off their heads directly!
If it¡¯s alive, see if it¡¯s worth treating. If it can be saved, tie it up and apply medicine.
If the victim cannot be saved, or if it is difficult to save, the head will be cut off directly.
Those war horses were dealt with in the same way, those that were intact and could be cured were taken away, and those that were seriously injured were directly bled!
After all the Mongolian cavalry on the battlefield were cleared, Han Siwen jumped off his horse and walked into the battlefield with the pungent smell of blood. He was accompanied by a military policeman who entered the battlefield. These military policemen began to carefully examine the corpses. The wound, as well as the broken scimitar on the ground, and then informed the corps commander of the situation, and the corps commander recorded the situation reported by the military police in a leather book.
After almost half an hour, the corps commander quickly walked up to Han Siwen, raised his arms in salute, and then loudly said: "Report to the guard. After on-site inspection, the crossbows used by our army were five meters away from the enemy." At ten steps, it can penetrate the enemy's leather robe and penetrate three to four inches into the flesh. The triangular pyramid arrow bleeds extremely quickly. At least 40% of the enemy soldiers were not shot in the vital part, but they bled in a short period of time. The new sabers equipped by our army have excellent hardness and toughness. Thirty-six scimitar handles were found cut off by the enemy on the battlefield. None of our sabers were broken. In addition, the thin steel iron nails equipped by our army were The cotton armor is also extremely strong. Forty-two of our brothers were stabbed, but only three were slightly injured, and they were not seriously injured and could still continue fighting!"
After listening to the corps commander¡¯s report, Han Siwen took a long breath and said, ¡°Report the entire process of this battle and the results of the inspection to Your Majesty!¡±
The corps commander stood at attention and saluted: "Yes!"
On the city wall!
Xiong Tingbi and the military chiefs of Jiuzhen stood on the crenel and looked directly at the scene below. Each of their eyes was filled with disbelief!
Just now they saw an unbelievable scene. The Ming Dynasty cavalry defeated nearly 500 Mongolian cavalry with 300 people. And the most unbelievable thing for them was that, on the surface, the Ming cavalry There doesn't seem to be any damage to the sides!
But these are not what surprise Xiong Tingbi and his gang the most!
What surprised them the most was that after the war, no one of the military police went to snatch heads. Instead, they sent out sentries to guard the surrounding areas, and then sent people to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner!
You must know that according to the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty, a head is a reward and a reward, and whoever gets it will get it. This also led to many times when the Ming army clearly won the battle, but there was chaos because the soldiers were fighting for the head, and they were stabbed back. One knife!
In fact, in the early days of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was no less than that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. During the Hongwu and Yongle years, the Ming army always walked sideways on the grasslands.
However, after the death of Zhu Laosi, the Ming Dynasty quickly entered the stage of civilian rule. Although Renzong Zhu Gaochi did not rule for a long time, he stopped all military operations against the grasslands. Subsequently, Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji reigned for ten years. There were basically no military operations carried out on the Mongolian grasslands.
It was not until the Yingzong Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne that he launched a massive Northern Expedition. However, he encountered the Tumubao Incident. Not only did he become a prisoner, but the military strength of the Ming Dynasty was seriously damaged.
Although the Tumu Fort Incident was later identified as the serious consequence of eunuch Wang Zhen's instigation of the Ying clan's personal conquest, given the circumstances at the time, both nobles and civil servants played a significant role in launching that war. !
During the reign of Emperor Ren and Xuan, the honorable nobles were frustrated. When they learned that the Yingzong intended to conquer Mongolia, they did not stop him. Instead, he deliberately encouraged them. The purpose of this was naturally to strengthen the nobles' status in the court through war!
The attitude of the civil servants on this matter is also intriguing. Although they opposed the Yingzong's personal expedition, their opposition was not firm. Otherwise, the Yingzong would not have been able to complete the pre-war preparations. When Wang Zhenxi was commanding, they did not stop them too much. , it¡¯s great to watch the fun!
No matter what you say!
Since the Tumubao Incident, the Ming Dynasty has lost all its nobles who are good at recruiting and fighting, and its army has been severely damaged. The eunuch power has also suffered a serious blow. However, under the leadership of Yu Qian, the civil servant group has begun to officially dominate the Ming Dynasty. Military and political affairs!
But what followed was the rapid decline of the Ming Dynasty's military power. In the Zhengde period, Emperor Zhengde personally commanded and won a city defense battle, which was already a great success!
To this day, Mongolian ministries seize control every year, or go to the Ming Dynasty to fight the autumn wind every year, but it is extremely rare for the Ming army to even behead more than five people!
So that it has become a normal situation for the enemy to attack and we to defend. In addition, in Liaodong, the Ming Dynasty was defeated by the Jurchens and lost troops and generals. For a time, the Ming border troops were even more uneasy and did not dare to fight easily!
But today, in full view of the public, three hundred Ming cavalry defeated nearly five hundred Mongolian cavalry like a whirlwind, beheading and capturing at least 1,780 people. This was simply an unimaginable victory!
Xiong Tingbi and the military leaders of Jiuzhen, thinking about Han Siwen's words, couldn't help but feel chills running down their spines!
If all the Emperor¡¯s Guards were this powerful!
No!
Even if they are only half as powerful as these military police, all the troops on the nine sides combined may not be enough to put a gap in people's teeth!
This is not because Xiong Tingbi and the military leaders of Jiuzhen are belittling themselves, but they have an account in their own hearts. They know very well what the military strength of Jiuzhen is now!
The Nine-Border Heroes, who appear to be quite powerful, are actually just a bunch of rabble to put it bluntly!
And this is already the most powerful military force of the Ming Dynasty. Even the rebels led by Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong in later generations were defeated by the border troops many times!
Han Siwen and his men finished cleaning the battlefield and then headed towards Wudingmen with the prisoners and trophies!
The Wuding Gate of Datong City opened again, but this time the fear on the face of the soldier who opened the door was gone, replaced by shock and ecstasy!
When Han Siwen entered Wuding Gate with 300 cavalry, escorting 57 prisoners, 73 horses, and 117 heads, Xiong Tingbi was already waiting at the city gate with excitement on his face. !
"Han Zhenshou is a true warrior!" Xiong Tingbi greeted him with a smile on his face like a flower blooming!
Han Siwen jumped off his horse, suddenly drew his saber, half-turned the blade, raised it to his chest, and roared with great energy: "Report to the Admiral, the Fourth Military Police Town of the Han People's Army was ordered to attack, and a total of fifty-seven enemies were captured and beheaded. Level 117, 73 war horses were captured, 101 dead horses, three of our troops were slightly injured, please check it, Lord Admiral!"
Xiong Tingbi was taken aback by Han Siwen, but he was also a man who had seen the world. He quickly adjusted his mind, assumed the posture of the nine-sided admiral, nodded and said: "This victory is all thanks to the command of Han Zheng. Fang, the officers and men have served their lives well, and I will definitely repay you with your merits!"
Xiong Tingbi just finished speaking!
Three hundred military policemen drew their swords and saluted at the same time, shouting in unison: "All for the glory of our emperor!"
Xiong Tingbi and the military leaders of Jiuzhen were shocked again! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
