The other cavalrymen were all cut off by the Ming cavalry who caught up behind them, leaving no one behind.
Zhu Di did not stop, but directed the cavalry to continue to charge forward.
"Ben Yashili, the Great Khan of the Tatars, is in front. Whoever takes the head will be promoted to a higher rank."
With Zhu Di's order, the Ming army was even more encouraged, each of them raised their knives and shouted: "Kill."
Riding on a horse, he galloped towards the large Tatar army in front of him.
The yurts in the barracks were trampled underfoot by horse irons and were crushed to pieces.
Ben Yashili led the army to cover in the back, and the luggage hurriedly rushed in front, but the luggage was luggage after all, and they walked very slowly, and they couldn't outrun the normal cavalry at all.
Zhu Di was much smarter than him. He knew that the luggage was in the way, so he asked Fan Zhong to lead a large army to follow the luggage, and he led the cavalry to set off lightly.
The speed was very fast, and after destroying the Tatar army camp, he immediately went to chase Ben Yashili.
It didn't take long to catch up with the slow-moving Ben Yashili. Hong Taiji saw that the Ming cavalry had rushed over, and quickly ordered: "The whole army obeys the order, throw away the baggage, and advance at full speed."
Although Benya was reluctant to part with the gold, silver and jewels he had plundered over the years, life and death were at stake, so he had no choice but to give up heartbroken.
Riding a horse by himself, he was no longer in the rear, and rushed forward with a single ride.
But it was too late, Daming's cavalry had already rushed over.
This time the king of Han was the first to rush over. He chopped off the slow-running cavalry behind him with a single knife, and then cut a bloody path, leading hundreds of cavalry, and rushed directly into the Tatar cavalry, charging forward while killing.
His target was Ben Ya who was at the forefront.
Benya didn't expect them to come so fast, she didn't dare to turn her head, and just ran away.
The other cavalry also wanted to run away, but the hundreds of cavalry led by the King of Han had already charged into their interior, washing their formation into chaos, and they couldn't run at all.
Seeing their defeat, Hong Taiji gritted his teeth, reined in the reins, turned around and ordered the Tatar cavalry to fight.
With the leader in hand, the Tatar cavalry immediately adjusted their formation, and quickly surrounded the king of Han and other hundreds of Ming cavalry in the middle, forming a big circle. While circling, one or two cavalry rushed out from time to time and gave them a knife.
They turned too fast, if the Ming cavalry wanted to break through, they would be stabbed to death by the rotating bayonets, and they couldn't rush out at all.
But if you don't rush, the cavalry on the outer layer will be cut off one by one.
There were a hundred people, but in the blink of an eye, there were less than 30 people left.
If they don't break through, they will all be hacked to death in this big circle.
Chapter 230 Victory in the First Battle
The King of Han did not expect that the Tatars, who were like bereaved dogs, would fight back, and trapped them firmly in the center of the large army, making it impossible for them to break through.
Seeing that there were only about 100 people left out of more than [-] people, the king of Han knew that if he did not break through, they might all die here.
It's really bad luck to capsize in the gutter.
"My lord, go inside."
The lieutenant general tried to push the king of Han to the center, so that he could at least temporarily protect him.
But how could the king of Han be this kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death: "Come on, let's Ming Dynasty, there are only princes who die in battle, and there are no cowards who are afraid of death."
After all, he threw off the lieutenant by himself, and rushed out at his own opportunity.
We must break through this big turntable and break out a bloody path, so that they have a chance to break through.
But he seriously underestimated the power of the big turntable, he rushed out a little, and heard a few "swish, swish, swish", and immediately there were several cuts on his body, the pain made him almost shake the weapon in his hand to the ground.
"My lord, be careful."
The lieutenant suddenly shouted, it turned out that a person suddenly rushed out of the big turntable, swung a big hammer in his hand, aimed at King Han's head and swung it towards him.
The king of Han supported the saber with both hands, and blocked the big hammer with one hand, but was swung by the big hammer, fell off his horse, and rolled to the ground.
As soon as he landed, the horseshoes on the big turntable stepped on him like rain from the sky.
The King of Han rolled left and right, dodging those deadly iron hooves with difficulty.
"My lord." The lieutenant wanted to find him, but in the blink of an eye, Han Wang had been swallowed by the big turntable, and there was no one left.
Just when they were desperate, a flying spear flew from a distance with a "swoosh", and a person was directly forked from the big turntable and flew into their team.
When they reacted, the man had already fallen to the ground and died.
Immediately afterwards, two, three, four, countless Tatar cavalry were thrown towards them with flying spears.
After a while, the formation of the big turntable was disrupted, and a breach was made in the originally impenetrable formation. A young general, like a sharp blade, rushed in from the enemy camp.
Then, among the many Tatar cavalry, he bent down and lowered his head, grabbed the King of Han who was on the ground, and threw him on the lieutenant's horse.
In addition, there were hundreds of Ming cavalry following behind him, forcibly tearing a hole in the camp of tens of thousands of Tatar cavalry, and killed them in.
With their charge, the army behind also rushed in along the torn hole, directly breaking up the Tatar cavalry.
The Ming army rushed into the Tatar camp, broke up their formation, and disrupted their deployment. There is me in you, and you in me. The two sides are officially fighting together.
Although there were quite a few Tatar cavalry, they were first attacked and fled, and then hurriedly formed a formation to fight against them, which was already very chaotic.
Now even the temporary formation has been dismantled, and the rest is just instinctive fighting without any rules at all.
But Ming's army is different. They purposely broke up the enemy's formation, disrupted their position, and then slowly encircled them inside, trapping them to death.
The Ming army rushing inside, after breaking up their formation, also began to evacuate consciously.
So the Tatars quickly discovered that they had no opponents except for the one or two outer floors.
People outside couldn't get out, but those inside had nothing to do, they could only be driven around by the Ming army.
The Ming army is going to kill them one by one from the outside to the inside?
Just when they were puzzled, the Ming army quickly gave them an answer.
It takes too much effort and time to kill one by one, so if you want to kill them all together.
When all the Ming troops inside were withdrawn, the periphery was surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside. Using their big turntable method just now, they could not come out for a while.
Immediately, the cavalry who had retreated to the outermost side began to shoot arrows, bow their bows, and shoot arrows towards the sky.
In an instant, arrows rained down on the innermost Tatar cavalry with precision.
They only felt that the top of their heads was covered with darkness, and before they could figure out the situation, one or two had already screamed and fell under the rain of arrows.
