Chapter 171

Kill one thousand enemies and suffer eight hundred losses.

This is basically the standard mode of frontal war. In fact, from the beginning to the collapse, Jiannu's casualties were not considered injuries, but Ning Haijun's casualties were as many as more than 3,000.

The Dongjiang Army suffered the worst, with more than 18,000 troops. Now there are only 4,000 left, with more than 14,000 casualties. Guan Ning's army has lost nearly half of its troops. Ning Haijun has suffered the least losses, with nearly 4,000 casualties.

More than 54,000 Ming troops participated in the battle, and the casualties now approached 20,000.

Among them, more than 9,400 people were killed in action. In the future, there will be many seriously wounded people who will not survive. The number of casualties will increase, and more than 10,000 soldiers will be injured.

The brutality of this battle far exceeded last year's Battle of Daling River and was twice as large.

Of course, the preliminary statistics of the beheadings of the Ming army totaled more than 7,600, but there were many heads of Mongolian and Han armies mixed in, and the actual number of slaves was only about 6,300.

More than 5,000 people were captured, including more than 3,300 Han troops, more than 1,200 Mongolians, and not many Jurchens, only more than 500.

What makes Cheng Shijie feel most regretful is that in this battle, too many war horses were killed, and not many war horses were captured, less than 5,000, and most of them were wounded horses.

"this……"

"The soldiers feel uncomfortable!"

Early tomorrow morning, Cheng Shijie will lead Ning Haijun's infantry to catch up and fight fiercely. Don't talk nonsense about not pursuing the poor enemy and not stopping them when they return to the army. Don't talk to them about being tired. After all, they won an unprecedented victory. It's true.

What's more, he doesn't care about anything, he just wants to pounce on Jiannu to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

At this time, Sun Chengzong's face was flushed, and he was drinking one glass after another.

This is the most cavalry Cheng Shijie can use.

In fact, Dodo was frightened.

Inside the Ming Army camp.

"You still haven't told the truth!"

Hauge's tone was a bit unkind. Although the situation was unfavorable for Jiannu at that time, Huang Taiji's retreat was the last straw that broke the hearts of Jiannu's army, so Hauge wanted to ask Huang Taiji what he thought.

"I'm not drunk!"

"Grandpa, you drank too much!"

Sun Zhiman couldn't persuade Sun Chengzong, and he was worried that Sun Chengzong's identity would be ruined by drinking. After all, Sun Chengzong's age was there, he was already in his seventies, and he was no longer young.

With just over two hundred cavalry, the Jiannu army could defeat them with just one Jia La, but not even one Niu Lu turned around to face their enemies. They just wanted to escape, as far away as possible, no matter what

The red lady's cavalry bit behind them like leeches, capturing abandoned wounded soldiers and collecting abandoned horses.

Sun Chengzong picked up the wine glass and walked to a group of slave prisoners.

In the future, this situation will definitely not happen again, so there are not many opportunities for Ning Haijun to have another hand-to-hand combat.

The slave-building army was on the run. They had abandoned all their pride and all their self-confidence. They were just running away, forgetting to cut off the rear. They forgot that the Ming army chasing them was only a few thousand in number. They forgot about them.

I still have bows, arrows and sabers in my hands that can be used to resist. I just want to escape, escape, escape as far as possible.

Huang Taiji had actually woken up a long time ago, but he had been pretending to be unconscious. Huang Taiji quietly looked around with the corner of his eyes.

The angry army.

"Are they too cheap?"

Song Xiance hesitated and said, "Lord, what should we do with those prisoners?"

Ning Haijun now does not fall into the three situations of killing prisoners, and does not need to kill prisoners to deter the slaves.

The Ming army cavalry were shocked to see the Jiannu army running away like a herd of wildebeests driven by a pride of lions without looking back. The resistance of the Jiannu troops they overtook was pitifully weak, as if they had lost their souls.

People simply couldn't believe that this was the tiger and wolf division that fought fiercely with them for two days and nearly overran the Ming army's formation several times!

Although he is deceiving himself, if he does not do this, the morale of the army will collapse! There is no way, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, let alone a few lies about self-deception, even if he is asked to bark like a dog, as long as he can bring this army back to Liaoyang

, no matter how safely he retreats to Shenyang, there is nothing he can't do.

"In September last year, Cheng Shijie's Ning Navy had just been established. The army had 2,500 people, all of whom were infantry. There were only a few muskets and only a few artillery pieces!"

Duduo smiled disapprovingly and said: "Brother Fourteen, cheer up. Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. We lost this time, so we just have to find a way to win back. There are not many elite soldiers like this in the Ming Dynasty, and we still have

Chance!"

The shock of having all their self-confidence shattered, the panic of having their myth shattered, was in itself more serious than the loss of 20,000 to 30,000 elite soldiers, leaving their minds blank and at a loss!

Every time an enemy was cut down, the Ming cavalry jumped off their horses in excitement, cut off their heads, hung them on their horses' necks, and then continued to pursue them as if they were on stimulants.

Yue Tuo smiled bitterly: "King Khan was so worried that he vomited blood and fell into a coma. He has not woken up yet."

Song Xiance then added: "Dongjiang Army and Guan Ning Army both suffered heavy losses. How about compensation for them?"

Aktun means strong, which is probably the Han people’s name for Niu Jiejiu, Liu Laoshi, etc. However, Aktun can indeed dance, and his limbs are very flexible.

"I'm worried that they are riding too fast and we won't be able to catch up!"

At this time, Ning Haijun's reconnaissance cavalry were also very tired. They had been fighting and killing for the past two days, and now they had little strength left.

Sun Zhiman shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible. Although Jiannu was defeated miserably, the main force is still there. They are far from being frightened by our army and fleeing!"

This time, Ning Haijun still had many problems. Firstly, there were too few artillery shells and insufficient preparation. Secondly, the thunderbolts were too bulky and difficult to move. The power and rate of fire of the individual fireguns were too low. After Jiannu tried his best to

At that time, effective fire coverage was not formed.

Only then did Sun Zhiwan understand the reason why Cheng Shijie did not adopt any stratagem and went against all the odds to fight the main force of Jiannu head-on. He wanted to crush the pride and self-confidence of Jiannu in this kind of anvil-on-hammer battle with the main force.

Let Jiannu realize that they are not as powerful as they thought. They are fighting with a giant and may be smashed to pieces by the giant at any time!

Cheng Shijie said: "The next battle will be easy. We can walk sixty or seventy miles a day, just walk slowly. Almost all the slaves have escaped."

But the problem is that Ning Haijun's armor wearing rate is too high, especially more than 70% of the soldiers are wearing armor made of fine steel. Unless the unlucky guy is shot in the face or throat, Ning Haijun's officers can ignore the armor.

The slave's arrow rain. I have been fighting for a long time, but I can't bite the opponent, but the opponent counterattacks, and I have many casualties on my side. How can I fight this battle?

The Ming army relied on real swords and real guns to fight and finally defeated them. In other words, Jiannu was defeated this time and had nothing to say. Of course, these words cannot be said, even if he knew that this was the case.

, must also be rotten in the stomach, and vigorously promoted that the Ming army relied on firearms to defeat them, not on their true ability...

"yes!"

Of course, Cheng Shijie does not need to consider the captives of Jiannu and Mongols. The Ming Dynasty will not treat the captives as treasures and keep them as prisoners of the Ming army. The captives will be sent to the capital of the Ming Empire, and those with better luck will be castrated.

Then he entered the palace as a eunuch, but he was so unlucky that he didn't even have the chance to be a eunuch, so he was beheaded and then built into the Jingguan together with other people's heads.

Only by advancing the front line to the future territory of Anshan and Liaoyang can Cheng Shijie completely control Dalian Bay. This is a treasure land with a warm climate, a seaport that never freezes, and ships that can be navigated all year round. Whether it is the development of fishery here

Or growing fruits, there is a lot of potential.

"Brother Fourteen, believe me, I really didn't lie to you!"

Sun Chengzong looked at the prisoners and said, "Which of you can dance?"

Cheng Shijie thought about it and said: "The heads of the Jiannu and Mongolian prisoners, as well as those captured by us, will be sent to the capital. The Han prisoners... will be sent wherever they are in trouble."

He could only sulk.

The red lady smiled faintly: "Let's not rush into pursuit yet. Let's camp on the spot, rest, and sharpen our swords to chop firewood!"

As the Ming cavalry began to set up camp, rest on the spot and recharge their batteries, Jiannu could finally take a breath. But this was only temporary. Early tomorrow morning, these Ming cavalry would continue to pounce on them like wolves.

Bite this defeated army, bleed them continuously, and make them collapse completely.

He secretly sighed in his heart: "The defeat was so disastrous... I followed my father Khan in the north and south, and fought in battles for half my life, but I have never lost so miserably!"

In Dorgon's view, although Dajin suffered heavy losses in this battle, the main force was still there. As long as they could stabilize their position and find the Ming army's flaws, they had every chance of making a comeback.

This scene of overwhelming defeat made everyone who survived this bloody battle suffer a shame that was worse than death for the rest of their lives, and could not hold their heads up.

Since Nurhachi raised his army, the Houjin Eight Banners have trampled all over the white mountains and black waters, annihilating the Ming army countless times at a negligible cost of thousands, tens of thousands, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, suppressed by a small tribe with a population of less than one million.

The two behemoths, the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia, fought and were invincible, creating the myth that "the Jurchens are not able to fight even if they are not worth ten thousand people." How had they ever experienced such a disastrous defeat!

Cheng Shijie smiled grimly: "Don't run? It's okay not to run, just stay here in the fertile land!"

Dorgon had no choice but to retreat. He sent several troops to block the rear and tried to block the Ming army's pursuit. However, these troops were crushed by the Ming army's cavalry in an instant. Thousands of flesh and blood were added to the necks of the Ming army's cavalry.

Blurred head.

"What happened in Haizhou in February this year?"

"Run away!? Why did they run away?"

But he was very unhappy about releasing the prisoners so directly.

In addition to being depressed, Huang Taiji was still depressed.

A Buddhist slave, about twenty years old, stood up timidly.

"Do you want to withdraw your troops and return to the capital to report the victory, or do you want to continue the pursuit?"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Yongyan, what are you in a hurry for?"

Sun Chengzong pointed to the mutton roasting on a bonfire not far away: "If you dance well, I will be rewarded!"

Dorgon smiled bitterly and said: "I'm thinking about where we should go in the future!"

"I hid it from you? What?"
