Chapter 1296 The Battle of Mongolia (End)

With a bang, Prince Yi looked back and saw that a horse on his side fell to the ground, and the horse foamed at the mouth was obviously no longer possible. At the same time, the knight who fell to the ground also fell heavily and limped and finally got up from the ground.

The knight stood up from the ground and got on another war horse with the help of others. Prince Yi did not say anything and continued to turn back and drive the horse riding down to run.

Since being attacked on the eve of the past, Prince Yi was forced to fight with the Ming and Mongolian coalition cavalry head-on and flee quickly. In the past two days, he and his remnants have been trying to get rid of the pursuers behind, but they can't get rid of them.

Not only that, Prince Yi's remnants still suffered losses in the past two days, and now there are less than 600 riders following him.

After a long and long-distance escape, Prince Yi had already prepared a pair of horses to ensure the full horsepower.

But as a result of the losses caused by temporary combat, Prince Yi's remaining troops escaped and only part of the prepared horses were taken out, and most of them were lost when breaking through.

Secondly, compared with Prince Yi's army, the Ming army and the Mongolian coalition have one man, two horses or even three horses, which can completely maintain more abundant horsepower.

As one goes up and down, Prince Yi can still support it in a short time, but the horses can't stand it after a long time. For example, the war horse that fell just now is no longer the first one. Now there are very few war horses that can be spared in the army, and even the mounts that Prince Yi rides under him are a little unsatisfied.

"Prince, if this continues, either the horse is exhausted or the person is exhausted. You must not run away again!" Yongqian was sweating all over his head. Fortunately, he was extremely skilled in riding and could not bear such intensity of escape.

Prince Yi didn't know what Yongqian said was right, but the problem was that if he didn't run away, the pursuers behind would arrive soon. When the pursuers arrived, they were no match for the other party at all.

But the facts are in front of you. Look at the messy remnants around you. As Yongqian said, running on you will either be exhausted to death or the people will be exhausted to death together.

Thinking of this, Prince Yi felt as if something was blocked by him, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

"Go over there and have a rest." Prince Yi looked ahead. Now he couldn't figure out where he was on the Mongolian grassland. Apart from relying on the positions of the sun and stars to distinguish the direction, Prince Yi and his deployment could not determine their correct position at all.

The direction pointed by the horse whip is a mud mountain bag more than one mile away. Such mud mountain bags are not uncommon in the Mongolian grasslands, and can be said to be everywhere.

In order to observe and be prepared to escape at any time, Prince Yi specially chose such a place as a temporary resting place, and the area of ​​this earthen mountain is not small, enough for them to temporarily station nearly 600 cavalry.

After the order was issued, everyone rushed there with their last breath, and then dismounted and took the turtle bag.

Then, many exhausted soldiers ignored everything and lay on the ground. The horses were sweating profusely and gasping.

"Let everyone persevere, drink water for horses, eat some dry food to replenish their energy, and never be careless." He frowned and looked around. If it were before, Prince Yi would have been marching military law. You should know that Prince Yi has always been strict in his military administration and could not get sand in his eyes.

But now, he was helpless. Under such circumstances, he could not expect the rules in the marching to be implemented. Even Prince Yi himself is in a very embarrassed manner now, let alone ordinary soldiers?

The hat had long been thrown away, and the rat tail of the money behind his head was also scattered, and it was tangled with the wind and sand on the grassland, poking on his head like a scattered thatch. As for the armor and robe on his body, it was no longer like that. His slightly injured arm was simply bandaged, and blood was faintly oozing.

Prince Yi has never been like this before, and Yongqian and others around him are not much better. They all look worse than refugees.

"Prince, you should eat something too." Yongqian took out the dry food he carried at any time and handed it over. Prince Yi thanked him, picked up a piece of jerky and started eating.

This kind of jerky tastes nothing at all. It can only be said to be edible. Moreover, the jerky is old and hard, and it tastes no different from eating bark. But Prince Yi, like everyone else, tried hard to bite hard, and then swallowed it. At least it can replenish nutrition after entering the stomach so that the tired self will not fall down

As for drinking water, it is even more precious now. Most of the drinking water is given to the horses. At this time, they cannot escape without these war horses, and people can only guarantee the most basic water source.

"Yongqian..."

"Prince!"

"You said, can we go back?" Prince Yi took a few bites of jerky and could no longer eat it. He sat blankly with a piece of jerky in his hand. After a moment, he suddenly asked Yongqian beside him.

Yongqian was stunned because in his memory, Prince Yi always looked confident, and Prince Yi was determined and firm, and was the best among the people.

But now, what Prince Yi shows is the confusion, anxiety, anxiety and weakness that Yongqian has never seen before. If he hadn't been sure that he had heard it wrong, he wouldn't even believe that this was asked by Prince Yi.

Yongqian was speechless and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Prince Yi smiled, and suddenly his previous perseverance and determination returned to this body, as if the person he was asking about was not him.

"Prince! Prince!" At this moment, a man rushed over and pointed at the south in panic: "It's not good, the pursuit... the pursuers are coming..."

"It's coming so fast!" Prince Yi said subconsciously, and seemed to feel unprecedented ease. The tension and fatigue of running away disappeared in an instant.

"Hurry! Go!" Yongqian jumped up in panic, trying to find his horse.

"Let's go? Why do you want to leave?" At this time, Prince Yi seemed to have made up some determination. Not only did he stop Yongqian, but he asked: "It's too late now. How far can we run even if we can barely run out? Even if the descendants of Taizu Taizong are going to die, they will die in battle, rather than being exhausted while escaping like a stray dog. Now! Everyone! Listen to my order!"

Prince Yi stood up straight, pulled out his knife and said firmly: "The children of the Qing Dynasty! The descendants of Taizu and Taizong! Today! Let the world see our heroic martial arts. This is our last battlefield! I ask you, are you afraid of death?"

"Not afraid! No fear!"

Although tired and dead, everyone stood up to Prince Yi's shouts and gave the answer that satisfies Prince Yi.

"well!"

Prince Yi laughed: "It's not a shame that I am the warrior of the Qing Dynasty! Everyone! Death is not scary, what is scary is that I have lost our backbone! I have lost the blood of the ancestors all over the world! Let the enemy see the courage of our Qing Dynasty today! Let them taste the sharpness of our blade!"

"Long live the prince! Long live the Qing Dynasty! Long live the prince! Long live the Qing Dynasty!"

One after another, the shouts sounded. At this moment, Prince Yi seemed to have returned to the Qing Dynasty when she swept across Mongolia, as if she had seen his father Kangxi galloping.

Isn’t all this just my dream when I was a teenager? Now is the time to fulfill this dream. Even if this dream is the last gorgeous and colorful soap bubble that will be shattered at any time, it can at least shine with the last light before it is shattered.

When the Ming and Mongolian coalition forces that were pursuing arrived, Prince Yi, who had been fleeing, was ready for battle. This time he was not ready to run away. He decided to fight the last battle here and use the blood of the enemy to maintain the pride of the Qing royal family and Manchus.

In just half an hour, this small Tushan was surrounded by groups, and then more and more Ming and Mongolian coalitions arrived one after another. When it was completely surrounded and it was confirmed that Prince Yi and his remaining troops were on this small Tushan, the Ming and Mongolian coalitions were overjoyed.

Afterwards, the other party began to persuade Prince Yi to surrender, and offered conditions to ensure the safety of his life and everyone in the remnants as long as Prince Yi surrendered, and at the same time give him preferential hospitality.

Unfortunately, this seemingly good condition was rejected by Prince Yi. Prince Yi unintentionally cut off the ears of the envoy who came to persuade the surrender, drove the people back, and prepared everything for the battle.

After the failure of persuasion of surrender, the generals of the Mongolian coalition were furious and launched an attack on Prince Yi directly. The cavalry commander of the Ming army looked at the small earthen mountain with a complex expression, as if he was a little regretful, and also a little admiration.

The battle began, and the Mongolian cavalry charged towards Xiaotushan from all directions, intending to defeat Prince Yi's remnants in one fell swoop. Who would have thought that the attack of the Mongolian cavalry was not as smooth as expected after the battle began.

First, attack from bottom to top, the Mongolian cavalry could not exert their advantages in cavalry.

Secondly, although the earth mountain is small, it has geographical advantages in defending cavalry, and the cavalry cannot concentrate its forces to attack. Moreover, Prince Yi's remaining troops are elite soldiers of all battles, and their equipment is better than the Mongols, and their morale has reached its peak under Prince Yi's inspiration.

Third, Prince Yi's remains also carried some firearms, which were of great use in defense.

Because of these three points, Prince Yi's troops defended several attacks of the Mongolian cavalry, not only repelled the Mongolian cavalry many times, but also caused the Mongolian cavalry to drop hundreds of corpses on Tushan. Such a result made the Mongolian coalition extremely angry.

But even if he was angry, the situation of the battle was in front of him. The generals of the Mongolian coalition could not chew on Prince Yi for a while and had no choice but to ask for Yu Ming army.

Faced with this situation, the Ming army finally took action. Compared with the Mongolian cavalry that only knows how to charge with cavalry, the Ming army used much stronger tactics under such combat conditions. Moreover, although the Ming army came with cavalry, they carried several Fran machine cannons, which happened to be used under such terrain.

When the Ming army took action, the battle situation was quickly broken, and the balance of victory and defeat was directly tilted towards the attacking side.

Although Prince Yi fought to the death and made the best efforts, the power of the firearm and the fierce attack of the Ming army were pressing towards them slowly and firmly like a mountain, which made people feel extremely desperate.

After the Ming army joined the war for an hour, the Ming army and the Mongolian cavalry finally broke through Prince Yi's last line of defense, and countless cavalry and soldiers rushed directly to the Tushan Mountain.

At this time, Prince Yi's remnants had almost died or injured. Falling corpses could be seen everywhere on the small earth mountain. Blood gathered into a stream, dyeing the soil of the entire earth mountain red.

When the Ming army commander and Mongolian generals arrived at the top of Tushan, they finally saw Prince Yi and his remaining guards. At this time, Prince Yi's body was soaked in blood, and his whole face was a little unclear.

His right arm had already drooped, as if he was seriously injured. His left arm, which had been injured, barely held a broken sword, leaning against a half-high tree trunk, looking at the enemies from all directions with a calm face.

"It's over..." Prince Yi said to himself. At this time, he had already felt his life leaving his body little by little with the flowing blood.

I looked up at the sky and it was gradually darkening. The sunset in the distance turned red to the west, and the blue sky slowly began to turn black.

However, before the stars appeared, Prince Yi could not help but feel a little regretful, because he wanted to look at the brilliant starry sky on the grassland, just like when he was a boy who followed Kangxi, he was dreaming of his proud and longing under the starry sky.

Unfortunately, I can no longer see it. Prince Yi sighed in his heart, and then smiled at the person who looked at him. He didn't know who the other party was, but the other party's clothing should be defeating his Ming army and Mongolian generals.

No matter what, being able to keep himself here may be the most glorious moment in the other party. Thinking of Prince Yi's heart was calm. He didn't say anything, but directly raised the broken knife and slashed at his neck without hesitation. As the blood gushed out, Prince Yi shook his whole body and soon disappeared.

When Prince Yi finished his life, the last guards around him made the same move. A moment later, when they all fell down, Prince Yi, including his remaining members, was buried here, in this small Tushan where no one knew the name.

Seeing this scene, the commander of the Ming army not only sighed, but had to admit that although both sides were enemies and opponents, the courage of such enemies and opponents was also worthy of respect.

The Ming army stopped the idea of ​​the Mongolian generals who suffered a considerable loss in this battle to humiliate the bodies of Prince Yi and others, and restrained their corpses and directly buried Prince Yi and his subordinates who died in battle on this small earthen mountain.

Since this is their final decision, let them be with you forever. This is the ultimate fate. As a general, dying in the last battle and lying with his subordinates is a lucky ending.
