Chapter 874 Times Have Changed

"My lord, times have changed."

Nie Ping's lieutenant said with a smile.

In the past, tens of thousands of cavalry charged, that was a very terrifying thing.

Unless it was an elite hoplite, facing a cavalry charge would turn around and flee in fright, and then be defeated by the cavalry.

Or, being shot by cavalry and flying a kite, bit by bit nibbled away.

In short, infantry encounters cavalry, are to suffer a big loss.

But now, in the face of this kind of charge, the defense line has actually been completely motionless.

The enemy couldn't even rush in front of them.

The soldiers of the Chinese army all seemed very relaxed, without the slightest panic.

After paying a heavy price, the Mongolian cavalry finally left the range of the Chinese machine guns and began to turn around and flee.

At this time, the artillery of the Hua Army had also set up their cannons and started shelling.

Their preparation speed is actually very unqualified, too slow, and does not play the role of fire support. If it weren't for the Huajun's motorcycle unit, there would have been a big loss this time.

They have too little training, it's a no-brainer.

However, no problem.

The party with an absolute advantage can often have a larger fault tolerance rate.

Even if effective fire support was not provided in time, things were not delayed.

Now, they can also bombard those fleeing enemies and continue to destroy the enemy's living forces.

After a few shots, the shells began to fall among the enemy's cavalry.

The scattered shrapnel again caused major damage to those cavalry.

Some horses who were not used to the sound of explosions even lost control, and the whole scene was chaotic.

There are countless people who have died in the chaos for no reason.

What's more terrible is that the artillery of the Chinese army has a very long range. It will take some time for the Mongols to withdraw from the artillery range of the Chinese army.

During this period of time, they could only passively be bombed, and there was no way to counterattack or avoid it.

As Hua Jun said, times have changed.

The cavalry has become obsolete in the face of super-performance field guns.

It wasn't over yet. When the Mongols started to flee, the Huajun's motorcycle unit had restarted and started chasing the enemy.

When the Mongols' cavalry finally escaped the range of the shelling, they were surprised to find that the Chinese army behind them had also caught up.

This is really terrible, their horses have not stopped since the beginning of the charge, and the horses are very tired.

But they didn't dare to stop, after all, the Huajun's machine guns scared them all.

The Mongolian soldiers continued to flee, leaving behind their wives, children and old parents.

Old Suotu is also a no-brainer option.

Compared with those old and weak women and children, these soldiers in their prime are the most important.

As long as these soldiers are kept, they still have some strength to fight back.

Once this troop is gone, those old and weak women and children will still be unable to keep it.

Old Suotu is cruel enough, but he is a qualified leader.

One flees and the other chases.

The current Huajun's motorcycles are not fast enough to even catch up with those horses.

However, they have a huge advantage in that they don't get tired and can keep chasing.

The Mongolian horses couldn't do it anymore. After continuing to escape for a certain distance, some of the horses began to foam at the mouth, and some even fell directly to the ground.

The remaining horses that are still holding on are also approaching their limits.

"Your Majesty, we can't escape, these iron-clad beasts of Dahua will not be tired. If we continue to escape, we can only die of exhaustion."

The subordinate advised.

Old Suotu naturally saw this, but he had no way to deal with it.

Turn around and kill?

He glanced at the men and soldiers around him, and all he saw was depression, panic and confusion.

How can such an army without fighting spirit be able to fight again?

Moreover, even if you have the will to fight, before you find a way to get close to the enemy, blindly charging is just looking for death.

Can't beat, can't escape.

After thinking about it, the old Suotu found sadly that he only had the option of surrendering.

"Order to stop, let's surrender."

The old Suotu sighed, surrendering could at least save his life, but he would just lose all his power.

But not surrendering is basically a dead end.

It is better to die than to live.

What's more, the old Suotu couldn't bear to drag his thousands of soldiers to be buried with him.

Following Old Soto's orders, the men began to slow down, then stopped and dismounted.

When the cavalry is being pursued, dismounting, this action is equivalent to telling the opponent that he is about to surrender.

Hua Jun caught up from behind, but did not shoot directly, but surrounded it.

"Put down your weapons and stand here."

Hua Jun was wary of the opponent's sudden attack and commanded the opponent.

If these Mongols suddenly attacked at this time, maybe it would really bring some trouble to the Huajun.

It's a pity that they have all been frightened and have no spirit to resist.

As Old Sotu took the lead in laying down their weapons, the others also put down their weapons and walked to the side.

Waiting for Hua Jun to arrange his fate.

Leaving the horses, and laying down their weapons, they became a flock of lambs, each with their heads downcast.

Hua Jun notified the troops behind, and only after enough friendly troops came, they escorted the captives and horses back to Yinchuan.

At this time, Yinchuan had been occupied and controlled by the Chinese army. Without those adult men, the remaining old and weak women and children did not carry out large-scale resistance.

The few who resisted have learned a lesson, and some even lost their lives.

When Hua Jun took the prisoners back to Yinchuan, the family members who learned the news were crying.

This means that they are completely defeated.

What the fate will be next, they don't know.

According to past experience, the outcome of being defeated will be disastrous.

Men may be slashed, young and old abandoned, and women defiled and taken away.

In wars, women are often the easiest to survive.

After every turmoil, there will be more women than men.

And once there are fewer men, the turmoil will almost end, because the remaining people don't have to work hard and can enjoy resources.

The population is small, and the land that can be allocated is relatively large, and it is possible to survive.

Generally speaking, there is such a rule, but it is not absolute.

These people's worries are a bit unnecessary. The Huajun has no tradition of killing prisoners and insulting women.

In order to avoid these suicidal actions due to random guessing, after Huajun captured Yinchuan, he sent those who could speak Mongolian to do propaganda, telling them Dahua's policies and reassuring them.

At first, no one believed what they said.

But it doesn't matter too much, anyway, after a few days, they will naturally believe.
