Six hundred sad choices
On this restricted terrain, on narrow roads, the power of the cavalry cannot be exerted at all.
The Ming army only had to face the frontal impact of more than a dozen cavalry at the same time. As long as the army formation was set up, the impact of the cavalry would be greatly restricted, and it would not be as good as the horse-school battle.
However, when the dismounting battles were dismounted, they had to face the Ming army's quite intensive muskets and crossbow shootings, especially those muskets that were once extremely despised by the grassland people. Now they are so accurate and powerful, and it is very common to interrupt their arms and thighs after one shot.
Unlike arrow injuries, as long as the arrow injuries are not shot to the vital point, just take out the arrows. Unless they are poisonous, they will generally not die. However, gunshot wounds are different. Even if the bullets on the soldiers’ legs, arms and chest are removed, the blood in the wound cannot be stopped at all, and it will be bleeding and die in less than a few hours.
Gunshot wounds are currently helpless injuries to the grassland people. As long as they are hit, they basically mean death. Unless the injured limbs are cut off, the grassland people have to live on a strong body. If they are injured, they must not ride horses or fight. What is the meaning of survival?
Although only a few hundred people died in the breakout battle in the past few days, more than a thousand people have lost their combat power. The number of Ming troops has continued to increase, but he lacks food and clothing. If this continues, he will lose all his combat power. He is well aware of this.
After searching for Liu Xi for a long time, he couldn't find it, so Salike began to regain his rationality bit by bit. In addition, people around him kept telling him that the Han man was a very cunning Han man, and he must have ulterior motives to trick us into this place.
So he began to suspect that every step he had walked along the way was designed. From attacking Taiyuan to fleeing south, it was basically done by Liu Xi. Liu Xi has disappeared now and left himself in Wenquan Town. Wenquan Town was blocked by the Ming army. The terrain and roads have super restrictions on the cavalry. What does this mean?
Being cheated.
Being used as a gun.
What is the specific purpose? Sullik doesn't know, but he has this intuition that he thought he had used Liu Xi, but in the end, it seemed that he was the one who was being used. He used the 50,000 cavalry in his hand to break through Datong and Shanxi and gained huge wealth, but at the same time!
Only 10,000 were left in 50,000 cavalry, and the rest were all killed by the Ming army.
He was shocked and shocked.
While he was constantly winning and wealth, he had already taken the dead end step by step. Liu Xi seemed to have set a dead end for himself from the beginning, allowing him to fall into it little by little, but he was unaware of it. By the time he noticed it, he was surrounded by tens of thousands of Ming troops in this place.
Already to death!
I have become a very sad person, a very sad dying person!
The fragrance that was floating everywhere in the town seemed to be mocking him. Sucking in that seductive fragrance, he could feel the anger in his heart rising, as if he was about to swallow his whole body.
The Ming army was using this method to show their strength and sufficient supplies, demonstrating to him in this way, telling him that they still have strong strength, but they could not even have a full meal for their subordinates to eat. As one goes up and down, morale will be severely hit.
Although Trek couldn't turn his head, he still had the most basic knowledge of war.
At present, he could even think of how his subordinates were shaken and frustrated, how weak they were when fighting, but how powerful the Ming army on the opposite side was, how brave and good at fighting, defeating his soldiers in one fell swoop.
The comparison of strength and weakness over the years has changed instantly, which may have started with such a meal in the army.
This subtle contrast scares Salik.
He began to realize that if he and his soldiers would pay the price of their lives here without making any decisions.
Eye-for-eye-for-tit-for-tit is a simple and ancient legal concept. In nomadic tribes without written laws, this is the truth. Zhalik knew that if he fell into the hands of the Han people, he would never have a good end. Judging from the Ming government's hatred of the nomadic tribes and the uncompromising attitude of the nomadic tribes, he would undoubtedly die.
Instead of dying from depressed after losing combat power and fighting will, it is better to take advantage of the fact that you still have strength and fight to the death. Maybe you can still have a glimmer of hope.
Shulike decided to fight to the death and fight for luck, at least he couldn't die just like that.
The longer the time is delayed, the more unfavorable it will be for him. He made a quick decision and called all his trusted generals.
"Kill all the injured, thinner and weaker horses, and only leave only strong enough horses for the strong enough soldiers to ride. All the injured, sick, thin soldiers, and ignore them. We only take the most elite soldiers to break through! Just walk the road to the north and fight back!"
Tszhalich made the most cruel, ruthless and helpless decision.
The trusted generals looked at me and I looked at you, and they all showed a puzzled and hesitant look.
"Master, has it really reached this point?"
A general asked carefully.
"If it hadn't reached this point, would I give such an order? Those warriors are my people! They are not dead! If it hadn't reached this point, how could I give such an order!?"
Salik showed a sad look: "If we don't do this, we will all die here. All of us, including me, cannot survive. We will definitely be killed by the Han people. We can only ride the strongest horses and fight out of the siege with the strongest soldiers. Otherwise, we will not even have a chance to survive."
The leaders of the leaders all showed sad expressions.
This kind of thing is not a rare thing for people on the grassland. The tradition of being expensive, strong, low and old on the grassland is deeply rooted. This is the tradition caused by the scarce means of production on the grassland, and is a tragedy that cannot be solved by the fragile nomadic economy.
Only the strongest ones can survive, rather than offering the old man as wealth like the Han people.
This is a kind of helplessness in survival, which has shaped the sturdy character of the grassland people. Now, it will also give them the courage and belief to fight back. They will uphold this belief and fight all the way, break through the siege, return to their hometown, and start over.
What they do not lack the courage to start from scratch.
