Flourishing of the Ming Dynasty Novel - Chapter 94
Chapter 94 The Curtain Fell on the Battle
This sudden change of roles made the Mongols very uncomfortable, and it also dealt a severe blow to their morale.
Originally, as usual, even if cavalry were to be attacked suddenly, as long as they passed through the earlier chaos, they could still rely on their mobility to deal with Bu Zheng to the end. They could even use Mercedes-Benz delays and excellent shooting techniques to regain their initiative.
But now, even though some Meng people had such thoughts, Yu Tai was already shouting loudly, ordering his subordinates to continue to muster up the courage they had left to fight against the Ming army. He was truly unwilling. He had suffered a series of setbacks at the gate of Guang Ling City. Tonight, he was able to break through the city with great difficulty, but in the end, he encountered even greater troubles. If he were to flee like this, his position in the Thorn Tribe would be completely unstable.
However, just as he was shouting and commanding his clansmen to continue fighting, one of them sped over and said with a panicked expression, “Yu Tai is no good. Chong Da and Wu Heli have already taken their clansmen to the northwest without even greeting us.”
“What?” Yu Tai, who was directing the battle and was delusional about retaliating against the Jedi, immediately changed his expression when he heard the report and almost fell off his horse. The two tribes that he had invited to help actually abandoned him and the Thoroughfare Division without saying a word. This was a fatal result for him.
In fact, in these few battles, the ones who had always clashed with the Ming army were the people from the Juyan Tribe, because Yu Tai knew very well that the other two Tribes might give him their full support when things went smoothly, but they would definitely hold back if they really had to fight with their lives. However, he did not expect these fellows to be so afraid of dying. Seeing that the situation was not good, they abandoned their allies and ran away.
One had to know that the casualties of the Thoroughfare Division were extremely huge. If this blow appeared again, there would be no chance of turning the tables on them.
Yu Tai’s face trembled as he watched the Ming army constantly surround him. After clenching his teeth for a long time, he finally accepted the fact before his eyes: “The entire army has broken through from the north. As long as they distance themselves from the Ming army, they will not be able to easily catch up to us.”
Although they were panicking, in order to save their lives, these Juyu tribesmen could only put aside their worries for the time being and urged their horses again. They took out their last bit of courage and combat strength and rushed towards the north.
Not to mention, once the cavalry were truly determined to charge into the formation, the foot soldiers would not be able to hold them back until they were fully prepared to set up the spear formation. Although they had relied on the hacking of their sabers and spears, as well as the occasional cold arrows they shot, they still allowed hundreds of Mongol cavalry to break out of the encirclement.
Looking at their farther and farther back, Ming Jun, who had only used two legs to travel, sighed in delight. People could never run away from horses. However, Huang Hu did not feel regretful. His eyes even flickered with a strange light. “Do you think you can escape like this? That would be underestimating the combat strength of our Great Ming Border Army. If you don’t leave behind enough money, you won’t know the might of my Great Ming!”
Just as he finished his sentence, another murderous shout suddenly came from the Meng people’s side who were fleeing towards the north. With that, a large group of cavalry slammed into their weakest side, and a large number of knights were immediately killed to the point of falling off their horses.
However, the cavalry of the Ming army, who had been shocked with them earlier, came out from the slant. Although there was no military order from Yellow Tiger, this cavalry was an elite who had been fighting for a long time and was the best at grasping fighter jets. Just now, because they knew that a step soldier was coming, they rested for the time being. However, they only gasped for breath before they once again threw themselves into the attack on the Mongol people.
This time, Meng Ren had truly collapsed. It was not something they could bear to be ambushed and killed one after another. Amidst the screams and miserable cries, the originally neat ones immediately scattered and fled in all directions. Only a few dozen of them were riding to protect Yu Tai as they continued to flee towards the northern grasslands. It wasn’t too exaggerated to say that the entire Zhan Ju Tribe had been annihilated.
But in this way, there was also an advantage, which made the Great Ming Cavalry somewhat at a loss how to chase after him. After all, they couldn’t instantly turn into a ball of loose sand like the Meng people. That way, they wouldn’t be able to fight at all.
Therefore, in the end, the cavalry could only chase after the scattered Meng people and annihilate them one by one. But even so, after this battle, the number of Meng people who died under their sabers had reached several hundred. It could be said that this was a great victory.
Just like that, a sudden siege ended in such a sudden manner. Only a thousand Mongolian corpses were left at the foot of Broad Spirit City, and many of them spread all the way to the edge of the grassland, causing some small tribes nearby to panic endlessly.
This battle also gave off the might of the Great Ming Border Army, causing the surrounding tribes to no longer dare to think of Great Ming Border Town. Even the actions of the Grass Hacking Valley, which were indispensable in the past, became extremely rare in the next few years.
Of course, this was the last sentence. At present, it seemed that the far-reaching impact of the victory of this battle was only directed at the Juyan Tribe. This tribe, which had a large influence on the Mengming border before, had plummeted drastically. Perhaps it would be annexed by the surrounding tribes at some point.
Yu Tai, who had escaped in a sorry state, quickly thought of this point after he was finally safe. He immediately regretted why he had this idea of offending Daming. Even if Huo Zang died at the hands of the Ming people, he shouldn’t have fought for a single person.
Logically speaking, things had already happened, and there was no need to take such a regretful medicine. However, the more Yu Tai thought about it, the angrier he became. In the end, all of this anger landed on He Wukui, who was also in a sorry state.
This old man also had some abilities. He actually escaped with Yu Tai in this defeat. The Mongolian cavalry that were more or less younger and more skilled than him died under the pursuit of the Ming army, but he only relied on his lousy riding technique and fled with his horse’s neck tightly in his arms.
However, escaping might not be good luck, because his fate was already determined. When He Wukui was panting heavily, as if he was glad that he had escaped, he suddenly felt several gazes filled with killing intent converge on him.
He suddenly raised his head and saw Yu Tai staring at him with scarlet eyes. This made his heart skip a beat. He said, “Patriarch Yu Tai …”
Without waiting for him to say anything, Yu Tai stared at him with hatred, “It’s all because of you that countless warriors of our Thorn Tribe were killed and wounded, yet that little Broad Spirit City was never captured. Now, I wonder if you deliberately dug all this trap for us.”
He Wukui hurriedly waved his hand and explained nervously, “Patriarch, don’t misunderstand. This old man really wants to help you. Back then, Guang Ling City was truly vulnerable, but I didn’t expect that it would become so difficult to attack in just a few months …”
He felt that he was also wronged. He had clearly made his suggestion a few months ago, but the other party was stunned for several months before giving Guang Ling a chance to prepare and recover. This was clearly Yu Tai’s fault, but he didn’t dare to say so now, so he could only defend himself with a somewhat feeble tone.
But very quickly, he knew that it was useless for him to say anything. Because Yu Tai wasn’t alone, the expressions of the tribesmen beside them looking at He Wukui were filled with killing intent. Then Yu Tai suddenly said, “Use your blood to pay tribute to the brave warriors we lost!” After that, several ropes were suddenly thrown over and accurately grabbed onto his four limbs. In the end, Yu Tai, who was beside him, also took out the ropes and put them around his neck.
“You … what are you doing? Patriarch Yutai, I … I really have no intention of harming you …” Although he had guessed something, He Wukui struggled to explain.
Unfortunately, these people no longer wanted to listen to his words. They quickly jumped onto their horses and galloped in five different directions.
The five horses immediately straightened the rope around He Wukui, then pulled open his limbs and neck, causing him to let out a miserable scream. Immediately after, his body soared into the air.
The instinct to survive made He Wukui want to shrink his body to protect himself. This caused the power of the horses to suddenly stop. But the owner of their backs slapped their buttocks again, and Herod, the five horses, cried out in pain, and charged forward with all his might.
‘”Ah” A shrill scream rushed into the clouds, followed by a cracking sound. He Wukui’s aged body was immediately torn apart, and his flesh and organs were sent flying everywhere by this force, and he died extremely miserably.
The five-horse dismembered corpse was the most terrible and painful punishment, and He Wukui, who betrayed his country and nation, died under this torture.
Perhaps, when he died, he would feel that he was wronged, but in fact, he was not wronged at all. When he chose to betray his country and nation, and brought the enemy to attack his country’s cities, causing countless soldiers and civilians to be killed by the enemy’s butcher knives, his fate had long been determined.
Since you don’t treat loyalty as a child, then it’s impossible for others to think that you’re a loyal person anymore. When there’s a slight doubt, it’s your time to die!
After executing He Wukui, Yu Tai rushed towards his tribe’s camp with the rest of them. What was in front of him now was a mess that was very difficult to clean up, and his results might not be much better than He Wukui’s.
When they rushed back worriedly, Guang Ling City’s interior and exterior were filled with joy. The city gates that had been sealed for nearly three days were finally opened again. Countless soldiers and civilians came out gratefully, welcoming Yellow Tiger and the other warriors who had saved them from the Jedi. The commoners even took out the remaining bit of grain, only wanting to reward these saviors …
