Yue Tuo was captured alive and the handsome flag was taken away, which completely crushed the Houjin Tatars who were still resisting desperately. They saw Yue Tuo's golden helmet being held high by a Ming army sergeant, who was riding a horse on the battlefield.

He ran back and shouted, knowing that everything was irreversible.

A large number of Houjin Tatars chose to dismount and kneel down to surrender, while some Houjin Tatars gave up resistance and chose to scatter.

Even if Houjin Tatar wanted to escape, it was pitch black all around and they couldn't run far.

Many Houjin Tatars who knelt down and surrendered were still confused. The fear caused by the artillery had not dissipated. Then came the charge of the cavalry. The infantry, which in their eyes were not worth mentioning, rushed up with spears.

, they will never forget the dream they formed.

This perfect offensive coordination between artillery, cavalry and infantry has almost completely destroyed the fighting spirit of the Houjin Tatars.

Outside the Chinese military tent, messengers galloped over on horseback to report the battle situation.

Yue Tuo was captured alive, which was beyond Wu Zongrui's expectation. He originally thought that if Wu Sangui could lead the scout battalion of the Denglai New Army, it would be good to kill Yue Tuo. After all, Yue Tuo was one of the best generals in the Qing Dynasty.

His ability is not weaker than that of Dorgon and others, and his strategic ability on the battlefield even exceeds that of Dorgon and others.

When the messenger reported that Yue Tuo had been captured alive, Wu Zongrui knew that the battle that had lasted for nearly two hours was basically over, and there was no longer any suspense.

Wu Zongrui was always outside the Zhongjun tent, leaving Zhu Dadian and Song Xuezhu inside.

In fact, Wu Zongrui was also nervous. He expected a complete victory in this battle. After all, this was a battle that he had painstakingly planned. The Houjin Tatars were extremely powerful and had already won too many victories. Their momentum was almost at its peak.

Dorgon, Hauge and Yue Tuo were the most valiant generals in the Qing Dynasty. At this time, Denglai's new army suddenly attacked and dealt a heavy blow to the Houjin Tatars. They not only defeated the Houjin Tatars, but also captured them alive.

The defeat of Yue Tuo will definitely shock Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty, and can really make Huang Taiji calm down. At that time, the stability of Liaodong will truly come.

Wu Zongrui did not want to have a decisive battle with Hou Jin's Huang Taiji prematurely. Although in his heart, he was extremely looking forward to a head-on battle with Huang Taiji, rationality told him that the greatest victory at the smallest cost was the best solution.

What should be done.

"Report, the Houjin Tartars have been completely defeated. General Liu reported that the Liaodong frontier army led by Zu Dashou and Jin Guofeng showed signs of killing prisoners. General Liu came here specifically to ask for instructions on how to deal with it..."

Wu Zongrui was stunned for a moment.

The Denglai New Army is not allowed to kill prisoners. This is a military discipline. No matter how fierce the battle is, all soldiers can do this. However, the Liaodong Frontier Army is different, although they are almost integrated into the Denglai New Army.

However, what they received was mainly a lot of training in combat capabilities and personal restraint. As for the requirement that killing prisoners is not allowed on the battlefield, officers at all levels should have said it, and there was no special emphasis.

The sergeants of the Liaodong Frontier Army are different from the soldiers of the Denglai New Army. Most of them are Han Chinese from Liaodong. Almost every sergeant has a history of blood and tears. Either his family was ravaged and massacred by the Tatars of the Later Jin Dynasty, or

The family was completely destroyed by the Houjin Tatars, so their hatred for the Houjin Tatars is beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

For many years, the officers and soldiers of the Liaodong frontier army suffered more defeats and fewer victories when faced with the attacks of Hou Jin's Tatars. Unknown how many soldiers lost their lives, and a large number of soldiers chose to surrender to Hou Jin's Tatars. These emotions were intertwined and made Liaodong

The border troops hated Houjin's Tatars with gnashing of teeth, but they were also afraid in their hearts.

After finally winning a huge victory, the inner resentment of many Liaodong frontier army sergeants will definitely burst out, and it is not uncommon for prisoners to be killed.

With his mind racing rapidly, Wu Zongrui did not immediately issue an order.

In fact, Wu Zongrui didn't have a good impression of the Houjin Tatars. If he really captured too many Houjin Tatars, it would really be a big trouble. Last time Wu Zongrui made a decision and exchanged the captives of the Houjin Tatars for money, food and population.

, that’s because Liaodong is too poor and urgently needs money, food and people. Now the situation in Liaodong has changed. It is urgent to exchange prisoners for money, food and people. It is not necessary, and Wu Zongrui also needs to consider that doing so again may cause trouble in the DPRK.

There was an uproar.

It doesn’t seem too bad for the Liaodong Frontier Army to kill prisoners. As long as the sergeants of the Liaodong Frontier Army are told afterwards that they are not allowed to do this next time, that’s fine. Compared with the life of Jin Tazi and the sergeant of the Liaodong Frontier Army, it will be fine.

Being able to completely vent his inner grievances and engage in future battles with a better mental state, Wu Zongrui naturally chose the latter.

There are nearly 5,000 Manchu Eight Banners sergeants incorporated into the Denglai New Army. These people are mainly distributed in the cavalry battalion. Many people also participated in the battle this time. The greatest contribution they made is to accurately describe Hou Jin

The Tatar fighting habits, offensive routines, etc., the Jiangwu Hall specially compiled these combat habits and routines, and found ways to deal with them. During the training process of sergeants, they were targeted, and the Denglai New Army's

A lot of training in the scout battalion and the cavalry battalion is closely related to these aspects to ensure that they can truly defeat the Houjin Tatars in battle.

"I understand. The soldiers of the Liaodong frontier army beheaded the prisoners. Such a move cannot be publicized. Those Houjin Tatars who stubbornly resisted will be killed without mercy. There is no need to show mercy. However, there is no need to show mercy to those who have dismounted and knelt down to surrender.

Kill them all. These sergeants of the Liaodong border army hate the Tatars of Houjin. It is understandable that they should vent their inner anger. Go and tell Liu Ning not to deal with anyone for the time being..."

"The sergeants of the Denglai New Army will never be allowed to kill prisoners at will..."

The ordering soldier knelt down on one knee, saluted Wu Zongrui, turned around, mounted his horse and left.

...

Liu Ning looked at Zu Dabi beside him and didn't know what to say.

Zu Dabi was nicknamed "Madman Zu Er". He was extremely brave in fighting. He took the lead and charged at the front. He was not afraid of death at all. When he killed the enemy, he kept shouting loudly.

What made Liu Ning angry was that Zu Dabi killed a Houjin Tatar who was kneeling on the ground in front of him.

When the sergeants of the Liaodong Frontier Army killed prisoners, Liu Ning turned a blind eye. As long as he didn't see it, he didn't care. Anyway, the fighting on the battlefield was not completely over yet. There were still Houjin Tatars running around, and there were still a small number of them.

The Tatars of Houjin are resisting desperately. Under such circumstances, killing a large number of Tatars of Houjin can also reduce the burden on Denglai's new army.

But Zu Dabi went too far. Liu Ning was the commander-in-chief of the army. If he ignored it, all the Houjin Tatars who were preparing to surrender would be killed by the Liaodong frontier army sergeants.

Zu Dabi was honest at this time. He kept silent and lowered his head. For the Denglai New Army, Zu Dabi was completely convinced from head to toe, from body to heart. He already regarded himself as a member of the Denglai New Army.

As one of them, Zu Dabi knew the military discipline and rules of the Denglai New Army not to kill prisoners, but when he saw Houjin Tarzi with pigtails on the back of his head, he couldn't help the anger in his heart and couldn't restrain himself.

Emotions.

"Zu Dabi, you are the deputy general of Jinzhou. Don't you know the military discipline and rules of Denglai New Army not to kill prisoners..."

"Sir, I know that the Houjin Tartar just didn't really surrender. When I passed by, I picked up the steel knife on the ground, and I took action..."

Liu Ning snorted. He saw the scene clearly. Houjin Tartar was kneeling on the ground motionless, his head almost touching the ground. How could he pick up a knife and fight.

The sound of horse hooves stopped in front, signaling the arrival of the messenger.

Liu Ning looked at Zu Dabi, who was still standing obediently, and walked towards the messenger.

After the messenger dismounted, he walked to Liu Ning's side and whispered something.

Zu Dabi raised his head and looked at Liu Ning and the ordering soldiers. The look on his face was still a little nervous. He didn't kill the prisoners in front of Liu Ning on purpose just now. He just saw Houjin Tarzi kneeling on the ground. He looked at his clothes.

He should be an officer of the Eight Banners. Such a person could never be let go, so he raised his sword and killed this Houjin Tatar.

Zu Dashou, with blood stains on his face and body, walked over in a hurry, came to Liu Ning, clasped his fists and spoke.

"Sir, Zu Dabi is a subordinate of the lower official. He violated military discipline and killed prisoners. The lower official also has an unshirkable responsibility. He is willing to accept all punishments. Please be merciful and don't deal with Zu Dabi for the time being. After the battle is over,

The lower official and Zu Dabi will definitely come to apologize to you..."

Liu Ning cupped his fists at Zu Dashou and spoke.

"Commander Zu, everything must be decided by your lord. I have already reported to you what happened just now. The battle is not over yet, and the battlefield will be cleared soon. Zu Dabi will follow Commander Zu to fight. But I said it first.

Those Houjin Tatars who knelt down and surrendered and no longer resisted should not be killed at will..."

A look of relief appeared on Zu Dashou's face, and he quickly clasped his fists again.

"Don't worry, sir. Your subordinates will definitely restrain Zu Dabi and not kill prisoners at will."

...

At 2 o'clock in the morning, the work of cleaning up the battlefield began.

The work of cleaning up the battlefield is mainly the responsibility of the soldiers of the Denglai New Army. This is also a decision made by Wu Zongrui after careful consideration. The sergeants of the Liaodong Frontier Army still have some gaps in their personal restraint. Some sergeants are likely to search for them.

The money and wealth belong to oneself. Such a situation is never allowed to occur. All the money and food obtained from each battle must be handed over, and then appropriate rewards will be given to each person according to his military exploits.

Wu Zongrui had already left the central military tent and came to the battlefield under the protection of his personal guards.

Facing the strong smell of blood, Shandong Governor Zhu Dadian did not change his expression, but Shandong Governor Song Xuezhu couldn't help it. His face became extremely ugly and he was trying to hold it back.
