At the end of Hongwu’s ninth year, major events and minor events continued. Su Yonglin was nervous and busy for half a year, but in the end he failed to have a slightly relaxing year.
Compared with Hongwu’s 10-year New Year holiday, he has one day to rest himself, and the senior officials of the imperial court have two days off at most, and then he comes back to work overtime to deal with the war and the army
Su Yonglin himself had a New Year’s Eve dinner with his family and attended the New Year’s Sacrifice together the next day, and then immediately went to the Chamber to understand and control the fierce grassland war in China and the North.
The northern expedition was still good, which can be said to be the average level of the army.
On December 21, the ninth year of Hongwu, Yu Yinggui arrived in Zhongdu, which was also the day when Han Jingxuan led the army cavalry with a main force of 30 thousand people. Wang Gubu’s residence was 20 miles north, and the cavalry of the tribal alliance in the south forest was encountered.
At that time, there were 30 thousand troops in the army, and Wang Gubu pieced together 10 thousand cavalry, all of which were crooked melons and bad dates, which were more valuable than fighting
And there are more than 50 thousand cavalry in the forest tribal alliance army, followed by more than 200 thousand tribal people in the south
If we really want to fight, there will be a lot of fighting power among the more than 200 thousand people. Because of the harsh living environment in the northern part of Mongolian grassland, not only mature men need to ride horses to fight, but also the elderly, women and children can even ride horses to fight.
It can be described as a typical citizen who is a soldier and a villain.
They have occupied the advantage of numbers, and they also think they have occupied the advantage of morale and combat effectiveness. They have just completely defeated Wang Gubu and Tata Er’s resistance and turned the two former grassland-dominated tribes into dogs, and they have gained a lot of wealth and are now at the peak of morale.
Army?
No fear, no opponent. Okay!
The great victory of the leaders of the tribal alliance in the forest stimulated them to shout out the slogan "Go to the Han area to live in the Han people’s big house and let the Han people wait on us for the winter", which made hundreds of thousands of tribal people howl with joy.
Han Jingxuan was not afraid in the face of such great pressure, and immediately told Wang Gubu cavalry to back off and not to get in the way at the front.
It is very difficult to protect these waste wood while fighting.
If Wang Gubu’s cavalry was granted amnesty, they turned into the wind and quickly ran away.
Then there are 30,000 cavalry, just 50,000 cavalry of the tribal alliance in the forest and more than 200,000 cavalry battles.
It seems to be a very dangerous thing, but it is not the case.
Because this group of nomadic cavalry said that skyshatter was also a feudal army, fighting with the wind and fighting fiercely against the wind, and losing against the wind was also flustered, so I didn’t know he was running for my life.
The cavalry equipment is far superior to these nomadic cavalry, and the range of the new hand crossbow is far stronger than their bows and arrows. They cut it with one knife, and the armor of the cavalry is very strong, and they talk about it constantly.
And the knight wielded a knife and cut off half of the nomadic cavalry.
The reason is simple: the cavalry combat knives are all forged from high-temperature smelting and new steel, and the strength of the new forging process is higher than before.
Su Yonglin has built a large number of coke workshops and steel workshops, and has been producing high-quality steel for several years, not only making firearms, but also changing cold weapons for the army.
Before the accumulation of goods, a large amount of waste steel was consumed in previous wars, and it was pulled back to the furnace and remelted into a lean new weapon with much higher quality than that forged by high-quality steel.
It is no longer a dream to cut off the knife, leather armor and body with one knife.
Tribal cavalry and army cavalry in the forest will fall into panic if they meet each other.
They can’t cut the cavalry. The cavalry don’t hide or flash, so they lean on their armor and carry them hard.
And the cavalry flashed a cold light with a knife through the sprint speed of the horse, that is, the separation of people and heads.
When the whole fighting link was only three incense sticks, the left and right cavalry of the left and right armies defeated the left and right cavalry of the nomadic cavalry, and then the simple and simple tactics to encircle the middle played a great tactical effect, and the tribal cavalry Coalition in the forest was defeated like a mountain.
How brave they are when they chase the enemy after winning the battle, and how embarrassed they will be when they run for their lives after losing the battle
Han Jingxuan killed the red eye and led the army and cavalry to rush, slam, chase and kill all the way, and found their lair directly along their escape direction.
In the face of more than 200,000 tribal alliances in the forest, Han Jingxuan obviously won’t back down, and the army will attack the lair of the tribal alliance in the forest with a great victory, killing more than 200,000 wicked tribal alliances upside down.
They will really resist the impact of the army. Men, women and children not only panic and flee, but also take up arms and struggle against Han Jingxuan, directly making the army kill the rebels. The PLA’s combat effectiveness will be killed at all costs until they kneel for mercy.
Thirty thousand cavalry soldiers are divided into four roads to encircle the tribal alliance in the forest from four directions. Leng played the momentum of "You are surrounded by me alone" and rubbed the tribal alliance in the forest again.
The battle lasted from dawn to dark, and after dark, the army continued to fight by burning fire until dawn the next day, exhausted and finally ended the battle.
After the army rested and counted the results, it was found that they killed more than 40 thousand tribal allies in the forest before and after, and it was roughly estimated that they captured more than 150 thousand people and gained more than 200 thousand cattle, sheep and horses from the tribe, and the profits were countless
About 50,000 or 60,000 people from the tribal alliance in the forest successfully escaped from the army camp and fled north.
In this cold day, they lost tribal shelter and enough food to warm their tents, and their flight to the north was almost equal to death.
But Han Jingxuan is still very dissatisfied with this.
So the army took a day off and a lot of milk was used to supplement its physical strength. After that, he ordered the selection of 10,000 elite cavalry, one of whom was Sanma Yu’s soldiers, and handed them over to the 10,000 elite, led by him personally, to continue the pursuit to the north.
Never let go of these fanatics who dare to provoke great power. He will beat them to extinction.
The remaining exhausted soldiers are responsible for escorting this huge number of prisoners of war to the south and returning to the Wanggubu station. The Wanggubu station will temporarily settle these prisoners of war and have a good rest, and the United Nations will deal with these prisoners of war and war benefits.
This is the result of Han Jingxuan’s cavalry northern expedition.
Chapter 1436 They became historical nouns.
In addition to the first route army led by Han Jingxuan, there are also 20 thousand cavalry troops led by Zhong Xuemin, the general of Han Jingxuan’s department.
Zhong Xuemin’s Tata ‘er Department pieced together 10,000 cavalry troops to meet them in the north. From this way, there are more than 30,000 tribal alliances in the south forest and about 150,000 tribal alliances.
Like Wang Gubu’s cavalry, they have a lot of self-awareness. More than 10,000 of them were beaten by tribal cavalry in the forest. The guys lost their will to fight and dared to go north only when they were accompanied by big daddy’s cavalry.
Zhong Xuemin also saw that this cavalry was unbearable, so he made a decisive decision like Han Jingxuan.
Before the war, Zhong Xuemin told their troops to retreat without getting in the way, and then led twenty thousand army cavalry to face thirty thousand nomadic cavalry head-on.
Tata’s cavalry, if granted Amnesty, turned into the wind and ran away, which can be described as "the magic of the grassland"
Out of the way, Zhong Xuemin slowly pulled out his waist combating Dao, and his eyes were fierce and firm, and he gradually approached the tribal Coalition forces in the forest with a large army array.
"Great victory! ! ！”
He reached the order to invade.
Troops and cavalry rushed out to meet without fear.
The result is similar to that of Han Jingxuan.
The two sides fought a bloody battle with two pillars of incense, and the tribal Coalition forces in the forest began to retreat. After another pillar of incense, they copied their retreat and surrounded them. After that, they executed the division and encirclement tactics to beat the 30,000 Coalition cavalry to the ground.
The superior equipment and excellent training of the army laid the foundation for victory. In the face of the overwhelming superiority of the army, the tribal Coalition forces in the forest lost their momentum and ran away.
Zhong Xuemin didn’t stop attacking after the big victory.
Like Han Jingxuan, he continued northward and found the tribal alliance behind the cavalry, and the crowd rushed to the cavalry to throw firearms, which turned them upside down and slammed them all the way, killing everyone without mercy
In a bloody battle, the army killed more than 10,000 allied cavalry, captured more than 130,000 tribal people in the forest, and captured more than 100,000 cattle, sheep and horses, and gained various kinds of benefits.
Zhong Xuemin didn’t stop there and immediately cleaned up five thousand elite cavalry. One man, Sanma, carrying a large number of milk, dried meat and pancakes, pursued all the way north against the cold wind and vowed to destroy the fleeing guys.
Until they are reborn, they dare not invade the big sphere of influence again.
On December 27, the ninth year of Hongwu, the two cavalry made the same choice, attacking the north together, killing the fugitives along the way, and meeting the nomadic tribes along the way, destroying the supplies on the spot and supplementing the supplies and livestock on the spot.
On the fourth day of the first month of the tenth year of Hongwu, the March to the north was too deep, and the weather was too cold. Cattle, sheep and livestock were frozen to death in batches. Both Han Jingxuan and Zhong Xuemin felt that it was unbearable to continue to go, so they decisively stopped continuing the Northern Expedition and went home.
This time, they didn’t arrive at Beihai, which is said to be the shepherd of Zhongsu Wu.
However, they left a marching sign and remembered the marching road. They are going to apply for a Northern Expedition after the weather gets warmer this spring. No nomadic tribes have really arrived in the North Sea along the way.
On the 9th day of the first month of the tenth year of Hongwu, the news that the two cavalry departments had won a big victory came back to Zhongdu.
Su Yonglin was overjoyed and immediately made the matter public to make the people happy together.
Soon after, Su Yonglin learned that Han Jingxuan and Zhong Xuemin had jointly launched a further Northern Expedition, and he expressed some concern that too cold weather would cause unexpected losses to the two elite troops, which he was very worried about.
But soon, on the 13th day of the first month of the tenth year of Hongwu, he got the news of the return of two armies.
The two armies lost some cattle, sheep and horses, and some war horses, and some soldiers were frostbitten, but on the whole, the losses were not much, and the main force of the Northern Expedition was largely guaranteed.
Moreover, in the Second Northern Expedition, because the enemy’s main force was too confident and too close to the army, it was easy to wipe them out, including the whole body.
