Chapter 093

The north wind was like a knife, cutting people's skin, making people feel extremely painful. However, Azig was extremely distressed at this time, because in just two rounds of tentative attacks, more than 700 people were killed under his white flag.

There were not many wounded soldiers, because in the face of French artillery and thunder cannons, getting injured was a very luxury, and death was the easiest thing.

As for the losses of the Mongolian cavalry, Azig no longer had the courage to count them, because their losses were definitely worse and heavier than those of the Jiannu.

What made Azig cry without tears was that his brother-in-law, the hero with the white flag, had his life saved, but he could only squat down to urinate in the future. What made him even more uncomfortable was that this time the hero with the white flag had no choice but to urinate.

Twenty-one of the forty white-armored soldiers who accompanied the army were killed silently, not to mention twenty-one. Even if one white-armored soldier died, he was very distressed. The total number of white-armored flags was less than two hundred.

White armor soldier.

If the white flag in this battle was lost to the Guan Ning Army, it would make sense. After all, the Guan Ning Army has always been the most powerful opponent of the Jin Kingdom. Three thousand Jiannu cavalry fought against tens of thousands of Guan Ning Army.

If he loses due to his superior strength, he can still give an explanation to the fat boss.

But the problem is that he lost to an unknown Ming army. The white flag that had been invincible in both south and north battles actually allowed a Ming army that came out of nowhere to fight so badly. More importantly,

Even if they were defeated by Guan Ning's army, Guan Ning's army must have suffered casualties. Until now, this unknown Ming army had no casualties. It killed more than 700 slave-building warriors at the cost of zero casualties, including

Also included are twenty-one white-armored soldiers, one against a hundred.

Azig felt very aggrieved at this time, just like a world-class boxing champion who pushed a thin street gangster into a smelly ditch and kicked him violently. The aggrievedness in his heart was obvious.

Zhao Wencai stared dumbfounded as Azig led the cavalry with white flags to retreat slowly, while the Mongolian cavalry took charge of the rear. He shouted excitedly: "We won!"

"Scream, hurry up and rush forward. Even if you can't defeat Jiannu now, it shouldn't be difficult to keep the Mongolian cavalry behind, right?"

After receiving Cheng Shijie's order, Zhao Wencai waved his hand: "Brother, follow me!"

To be fair, although the Ming Dynasty was severely beaten by the slave slaves in later generations, it was never afraid of the Mongols. It has been obsessed with the Mongols since the founding of the country.

Even in the Battle of Tumubao, the Ming army lost more than 200,000 troops, and a large number of good generals who were good at fighting also died. The initiative in the Han-Mongolian battle changed hands. The Ming Dynasty's border defenses retreated step by step, and the Mongols pressed forward step by step.

, first of all, the two of us even led people to Beijing to burn, kill and loot.

However, the problem is that the Mongols have long lost the bravery of their ancestors, and the Ming army generals only need to feed five hundred servants to grind the Mongols to the ground. During Qi Jiguang's tenure as the commander-in-chief of Jizhen, nine thousand Qi's troops attacked the Mongols

He carried out cruel and inhumane beatings, with a few slaps, Chang Bald, Dong Fox, Tumen Khan and other Mongolian heroes were beaten into pig heads by him. From then on, they became more honest than their grandsons in front of Jizhen. In the Ming Dynasty, Ming Dynasty

The psychological advantage the army had over the Mongols was still there. As long as the court was willing to fight, the Ming army could still teach the Mongols a painful lesson.

The Ming army had a strong psychological advantage against the Mongols, especially in the eyes of Dongjiang soldiers like Zhao Wencai, these Mongols were just piles of silver that could run and move!

The Mongolian cavalry in charge of the rear saw Ning Haijun's two thousand cavalry outflanking them on the left and right, and they were simply trying to make dumplings out of them.

They immediately panicked. Some wanted to fight with Ning Haijun's cavalry, while others turned around and ran away. Now the entire cavalry formation was in chaos. As long as the formation was in chaos, the horses would not be able to increase their speed.

Zhao Wencai brandished the sharp Qi family knife and slashed at the back of a Mongolian cavalryman. The Mongolian cavalryman didn't even have time to react, and his head and half of his shoulders were chopped off on the horse. The warhorse was still hunching over its master, madly

Running forward, without the encumbrances of his head and shoulders, the Mongolian cavalry passed three or four Mongolian cavalry before falling under the horse.

There were also some Mongolian cavalry who wanted to resist. When Ning Haijun's cavalry launched the charge, they had already used their feet to wind up their crossbows. They were thirty or forty steps away from the Mongolian cavalry, and they were just firing a round. The Mongolian cavalry who wanted to resist were killed.

Shot into a hedgehog.

At such a close distance, the power of the crossbow machine is quite strong, completely ignoring the cowhide armor on the Mongols, and also ignoring the light iron armor on their bodies. The only three-layer iron armor that can protect the crossbow arrows. It is a pity that the Mongolians do not have this good ability.

equipment.

"Puch, puch..."

The sound of swords and spears piercing flesh was heard, and the Mongolian cavalry was chopped to pieces by the Ning Haijun cavalry. When Jian Nu, who was running in front, saw this scene, instead of turning around to support the Mongolian cavalry, he accelerated his retreat.

Zhao Wencai, who had already defeated the Mongolian cavalry, led four to five hundred Ning navy cavalry and followed the Jiannu cavalry to kill him. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity. If Jiannu turned around, he would withdraw. He followed Cheng Shijie's advice.

The tactical principle is that when the enemy advances, we retreat, and when the enemy is stationed, we harass. But I didn't expect that Jiannu retreated too quickly.

Compared with the Jiannu cavalry, the Ning navy cavalry was weak not only in their riding skills, but also in their war horses. The war horses of the Dongjiang Army were all very thin, especially the cavalry expanded by Kong Youde from Shandong. Some even rode mules and war horses.

There is actually no way to make up for the difference in speed.

No matter how reluctant he was, Azig had to admit that they lost this battle with a white flag, and it was a miserable defeat. Everyone's mind was blank, their bodies were cold, their eyes were dull, they were shocked, fearful, angry, confused...

…

Extremely intense emotions hit their hearts hard. Since Nurhachi raised his army, this was the first time that Jiannu lost to the Ming army. They were unable to resist. They lost so miserably that they had nothing to say!

The bones of seven to eight hundred soldiers were buried on the battlefield, and two thousand Mongolian servants... five or six hundred people survived, and the Ming army's casualties were probably no casualties. They had not had time to shoot arrows at the Ming army, nor had they had a chance to swing their knives at the Ming army.

The bloody reality shocked them so much that they couldn't believe it was true.

However, the wild shouts and shouts of the Ming army soldiers came like a tsunami, drowning everything, and they had no choice but to believe it!

"Congratulations, Commander, we won!"

"The commander is mighty, the commander is victorious!"

"The commander is victorious, Ning Haijun is mighty!"

Captain Ning was so excited that he shouted at the top of his lungs. Although the scale of the battle was not huge and the results were not huge, the problem was that at this time, Cheng Shijie was not yet the regent of the Ming Dynasty, holding the millions of elites of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the army, Ning Haijun is still a new army that has only been established for more than four months.

Ning Haijun's officers began to clean up the battlefield. Among all Ning Haijun's previous battles, the seizures in this battle were not very generous, especially the heads, which was really helpless.

Obviously, seven or eight hundred Jiannu were killed in battle, but in fact, the Ning Navy only captured 452 heads of Jiannu, including 21 white-armored soldiers. Only seven heads could be counted as military merits. They were destroyed by artillery or thunder cannons.

The heads of Jiannu who had his head smashed were not counted. As for the heads of the four thousand ancestral army soldiers, they were even more pitiful. After searching the entire battlefield, only 877 levels were found.

There was no other way. The power of Cheng Shijie's giant gasoline napalm bomb was so brutal that it burned more than a thousand soldiers of the Ancestral Army to charcoal, and more than 2,000 people were blown into pieces.

The Mongolian heads have more levels, with 843 levels.

Others are some weapons, whether they are slaves or Mongolians, Ning Haijun has already looked down upon them. If the quality is better, it can be directly sent to the soldiers in the field for use. If it is inferior, it can only be used.

It can be recast. If it weren't for the capture of 433 Mongolian war horses that were not seriously injured and could still be used in this battle, Cheng Shijie would have died.

Fortunately, 433 war horses were captured, as well as more than a hundred injured horses. These war horses were seriously injured. Even if they are cured, they will no longer be able to go to the battlefield in the future and can only be used as slave horses.

More than a thousand horse carcasses were quickly cut into horse meat and became a meal for Ning's navy soldiers and field soldiers.

"Commander, what should we do with these prisoners?"

Cheng Shijie is actually thinking about this issue too.

The Ming Dynasty is now rotten with sores on its head and pus on its soles. The wind of corruption has penetrated into every aspect of this aging empire, eating away at its foundation. The last remaining executive ability of this empire has been used.

Search for people's fat and people's anointing.

In later generations, some people commented on Zu Dashou: "A famous general of his generation, he controlled the outside of the pass and closed the pass, and he could be said to be loyal and loyal; the ministers of the two dynasties rebelled against the former master and betrayed the latter master. They were really no human beings inside and outside."

This evaluation is actually from the perspective of the Qing Dynasty, and the butt is a little crooked. Although the Daling River in Zu Dashou first descended, it was because the food in the city was grazing and it was unsustainable. Everyone can eat each other. If you persist, you will only

The whole army could be wiped out. In fact, when Sun Chengzong was in Jinzhou, he was one of the ones who was tricked. The main culprit was Qiu Jiahe. The second surrender was because of Hong Chengchou.

Although he surrendered to the Manchus, he never did his best for the Manchus. Looking at Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou from the perspective of Cheng Shijie, a later generation, Cheng Shijie was actually more willing to sympathize with Zu Dashou.

Cheng Shijie said: "First, let them get some food. It will be difficult for them to survive, but it will not be easy either!"

"To deal with such a traitor, shouldn't we hang him up to dry?"

Shen Mingyu asked in confusion: "Leave them to waste food!"

"No, they are still useful!"

Cheng Shijie said: "There are more than 8,000 people, and one tael of silver per day. Let people inform Zu Dashou that if they want to redeem people, they should be redeemed as soon as possible. The longer it is delayed, the higher the price will be!"

These people are all Zu Dashou's original team, his confidants. Without these people, Zu Dashou would be nothing. If Zu Dashou had these confidants, he would at least have the power to suppress Wu Sangui.

With himself and the Ning navy on the southern side of Liao to celebrate the longevity of his ancestor, Hong Chengchou may not have the opportunity to serve as the governor of Ji Liao. Relatively speaking, Hong Chengchou's threat to the Ming Dynasty is actually greater than that of King Sanshun. King Kong of Sanshun is very virtuous, which is quite gratifying.

And Geng Zhongming was only a general, while Hong Chengchou was a strategic commander. Without him to command the large corps in battle, it would not have been so easy for the Manchus to enter the pass.

When they heard that Cheng Shijie was going to sell these prisoners, Zhongning's navy soldiers had no objections. They would get a share of the money from the sale.

Before these more than 8,000 ancestral army soldiers can be sold, they will not work for free.

The soldiers of the Ning Navy sent more than 8,000 prisoners of war to the Luomashan Coal Mine in Jinzhouwei to dig coal. Now the weather is cold. As more and more soldiers and craftsmen of the Ning Navy come over, there is no coal for heating.

Can't hold on.

Although many earthen nests were dug outside the Jinzhou Acropolis to accommodate the field soldiers and their families, as there were more people, coal would be needed to eat, drink, and heat. If only firewood was used to cut down all the trees in southern Liaoning, it would probably be a waste.

not enough.

As the Luomashan Coal Mine was developed, Ning Haijun's coal mine craftsmen started working with others. With coal, kilns could be built. Ning Haijun's family and their field soldiers could not live in underground houses forever.

, they also need houses. In this era, unlike the reinforced concrete in later generations, if you build an adobe house, you can build it in winter.

The premise is that there must be enough coal. With coal, other factories can also be built, such as open-hearth furnaces and blast furnaces for steelmaking, textile factories, furniture factories, carriage factories, agricultural tool factories, etc.

With eight thousand prisoners of war entering the coal mines, coal can meet the needs of Ning Haijun's military and civilians.

At this moment, a tall man among the eight thousand prisoners of war shouted: "I want to see your general!"

"Who wants to see me?"

Liu Qingsong looked at Zu Zerun with an unhappy face and said, "You want to see me?"

"This is Zu, the deputy general of Jinzhou of Guan Ning Army..."

Before Zu Zerun could finish speaking, Liu Qingsong said impatiently: "Didn't you say you are Zu Dashou?"
