At this moment, the casualties of the Wala cavalry instantly increased. With such concentrated firepower, many people were killed in an instant, and the entire charging formation was in disarray.
On both sides, Liu?
Wu Weiying's cavalry also flew out, but they didn't charge in. Instead, they covered the area with arrows.
When Hwang Tae-gil saw this scene from the back, his face turned terrifyingly dark.
"Left and right flanks, charge forward and kill the Daming Cavalry!"
Following Hwang Tae-gil's command, two cavalry units from the left and right quickly charged towards Wu Weiying and Liu Xiang Yu.
Wu Weiying and Liu?
Seeing that there were people rushing over from the other side, he led his team to meet them.
The battlefield was instantly filled with battle cries, and the sounds of fighting could be heard everywhere. Qi Jiguang gave the order: "Meet the enemy head-on, Flintlock Troopers, advance!
The infantry will split up and flank the cavalry on the left and right. "
At the command, the five-thousand-man Divine Strategy Battalion soldiers moved quickly, firing as they advanced.
At the start of the battle, the charging Wala cavalry's momentum had already been hindered. After all, warhorses were not humans. At this moment, it was already a mess.
As the Divine Strategy Battalion advanced, the infantry surrounded them from both sides, preparing to devour the twenty thousand men.
"Ma Lu, Wu Weizhong, bring your men to capture Hwang Tae-gil!"
Ma Lu was leading the cavalry under his command. As for Wu Weizhong, he was the general that Qi Jiguang had brought over this time. He was leading 3,000 cavalry.
This was Qi Jiguang's main fighting force.
He and Wu Weiying blocked the attacks from both sides.
Although they were unable to charge through, they were able to hold their ground for the time being. They did not have to worry about their flanks being breached.
At this moment, Qi Jiguang had the confidence to send out his men. Following Qi Jiguang's order, Ma Lu and Wu Weizhong led their men and charged towards Hwang Tae-gil.
He was shouting about capturing Hwang Tae-gil alive, and his imposing manner was like a rainbow.
Hwang Tae-gil's side had also started moving. After Hatton's men fell into a tough battle, Hwang Tae-gil was ready to charge.
"Follow me!" Hwang Tae-gil pulled out the machete on his waist and shouted, "Capture Qi Jiguang alive!"
From Hwang Tae-gil's perspective, as long as he charged from the front and attacked Qi Jiguang, as long as Qi Jiguang retreated, the Ming Army's battle formation would naturally collapse.
As long as the Ming Army collapsed, he could chase after the Daming people and stick to them.
Hwang Tae-gil had another 20,000 men with him. These were his personal guards, and could be said to be his most elite force. He had the confidence to charge through.
Seeing the Ming Army cavalry charging over, Hwang Tae-gil did not take it to heart at all. Fighting against him?
That was courting death!
The two cavalries quickly collided. Men shouted and horses neighed. Very soon, they were engaged in a battle.
What Hwang Tae-gil did not expect was that the charge he thought would break through did not happen. When the two cavalries clashed, his charging force actually decreased. This Ming Army was unusually brave. The Ming Army on horseback were actually using muskets.
In just one encounter, many of his men fell off their horses.
However, he had the advantage in numbers, so he was not afraid. However, Hwang Tae-gil was worried about Hatton.
Hatton's 20,000 men had died in the process of charging. Now, he was surrounded by the Ming Army. If he could not charge through, he would not be able to hold on for long. Once Hatton was killed, his side would be finished.
Qi Jiguang rode on his horse and surveyed the battlefield. His expression was very solemn.
"Qin Chang, take some men and charge from the right. Defeat the Wala cavalry on the right, then charge towards Hwang Tae-gil!"
Qi Jiguang glanced at Qin Chang and said. This was his final capital. However, at this time, he had no choice but to invest it.
Hatton waved his scimitar and charged forward. However, he realized that there were more and more people around him. His warhorse was forced to stop.
He waved his scimitar at a Daming infantry soldier. Just as he chopped down, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back. He looked back and saw a Daming soldier stabbing at him with a spear. The tip of the spear had already pierced into his lower back.
Before Hatton could react, a few spears pierced his body from different directions.
His body swayed and Hatton fell off his horse. He was no longer breathing.
The 20,000 men were separated and surrounded. In addition to the Godly Arms Battalion and infantry, more than half of them were killed. Many of the Wala cavalry had already turned their horses and started to run back. The Ming Army took advantage of the situation and chased after them.
Qin Chang's right flank had also made a breakthrough. With his addition, the Wala cavalry on the right flank instantly collapsed.
"Split up and outflank them!"
Qi Jiguang ordered the soldiers beside him, signaling them to pass on the order.
The situation on the battlefield changed very quickly. When Hwang Tae-gil saw people retreating in defeat and the Ming Army's infantry charging forward, he knew it was over.
As the Ming Army charged forward, Hwang Tae-gil could only retreat.
Once they retreated, it was over. It didn't take long for them to collapse.
"Great Khan, let's retreat!"
Ali Han said from beside Hwang Tae-gil. "If this continues, we will be defeated by the Ming Army."
Hwang Tae-gil was already panicking. Seeing the Ming Army surging forward like a flood, he turned his horse around and ran.
As he ran, the Wala cavalry naturally followed suit, and it became a complete rout.
"Pass the order, chase and kill them. We are going to Guihua City!"
Following Qi Jiguang's order, the Ming Army chased after Hwang Tae-gil.
At this time, the Ming Army's morale was greatly boosted. When they chased after the Wala cavalry, they were all full of energy. To the Ming Army, these were all moving silver.
Qi Jiguang looked at Wu Weizhong who had returned to his side and said, "Pass the order to Ma Lu and Qin Chang. Bring their men and attack Guihua City."
The order was quickly passed down. Ma Lu and Qin Chang's men quickly retreated from the pursuit and headed straight for Guihua City.
The two of them also knew that this was a good job. Compared to chasing after the Wala cavalry, taking down Guihua City was naturally more meritorious.
"Congratulations to Grand Marshal, congratulations to Grand Marshal for wiping out Wala!" Wu Weizhong smiled as he came to Qi Jiguang's side and laughed heartily.
As a subordinate who had always followed Qi Jiguang, Wu Weizhong naturally knew the importance of this battle to Qi Jiguang.
This was the first battle since the new Emperor took over. After this battle, Qi Jiguang's reputation would soar and he would completely gain the Emperor's trust.
Qi Jiguang's face did not show much excitement. He only said indifferently, "Wala is no longer that Wala!"
In reality, Qi Jiguang did not think much of Hwang Tae-gil and Wala.
Hwang Tae-gil was far weaker than An Dahan. Wala was also not the Wala at its peak. Over the years, Wala's fighting power had declined greatly.
When An Dahan was young, Wala's fighting power was very high. But as An Dahan grew older, Wala's fighting power also declined.
After so many years of peace with Daming, Wala also slacked off.
Qi Jiguang had fought the barbarians and Chahar at Ji Liao. When he saw Hwang Tae-gil leading his men to charge, he knew that this battle was a sure win.
In reality, Mongolia's fighting power had been declining over the years. This was something Qi Jiguang could feel.
If not for Daming himself, he would have chased after them long ago.
Daming and Mongolia had fought for two hundred years. Mongolia was no longer the Mongolia of the past. Especially now that Mongolia was divided, there were not many who could fight.
This time, Hwang Tae-gil had mobilized so many men. But Qi Jiguang could see that more than half of them were not wearing armor.
Although the Mongolians were all mounted soldiers and dismounted commoners, saying that they could control hundreds of thousands of bowstrings, it was mostly boasting.
In a place like Mongolia, the best fighting force was the armored cavalry. In the previous battle at Green Tiger Gully, they defeated the armored cavalry. He had ambushed them with so many men, but the losses were so high.
This time, only half of the men that Hwang Tae-gil brought were armored cavalry.
The Wala cavalry's equipment was much worse than Daming's. These people were not his match at all.
Moreover, Hwang Tae-gil was not a hero. From the moment he attacked, Qi Jiguang knew that he would win this battle.
Bansheng City.
When Sanniangzi saw Ba Tu walk in, she hurriedly stood up: "Any news?"
"Hatun, Hwang Tae-gil lost!" Ba Tu said anxiously: "And it was a huge defeat."
"What do you mean?" Sanniangzi hurriedly asked.
"Hwang Tae-gil brought his men and started a battle with the Ming Army. However, they were defeated by the Ming Army. He brought three thousand men and escaped back to Bansheng City.
The Ming Army has already caught up and is now attacking Bansheng City. "
Sanniangzi sat down and said dejectedly: "How could this be!"
Then, Sanniangzi became resentful: "Hwang Tae-gil is such a useless person!"
"Hatun, the seventy thousand strong men that Hwang Tae-gil brought were killed in one battle. What should we do?"
Ba Tu looked at Sanniangzi and said hesitantly: "The Ming Army is attacking Bansheng City now. Bansheng City will not last long!"
Sanniangzi hated Hwang Tae-gil to the extreme. Such a useless person!
But what could she do?
Run to Bansheng City to save Hwang Tae-gil?
Stop fooling around. There was no hope at all. The number of people she had was probably not enough to feed the Ming Army.
Seventy thousand men. That was seventy thousand men. They were defeated so quickly. Why was Hwang Tae-gil such a useless person?
While she was hating in her heart, Sanniangzi was thinking about what to do.
Not many of the seventy thousand men were left. If the Ming Army chased them to Bansheng City, they would be either captured or killed.
Wa La's vitality could no longer be described as greatly damaged in this battle. They were about to die.
What Sanniangzi was worried about now was whether the Ming Army would take this opportunity to annihilate her.
Once the Ming Army annihilated her, she would really be homeless.
"Let's go see the Daming's Commander-in-Chief!"
Sanniangzi gritted her teeth and said: "Bring the tribe leaders to gather the tribes that followed Hwang Tae-gil. So many strong men have died. These tribes cannot be annihilated by the Daming."
If these people were annihilated, then she would really have nothing left.
"Yes, Hatun!" Ba Tu answered, turned around, and walked out of the room.
