The Mongolian soldiers were quickly defeated, and with the captives last night, only 800 people were captured by the three thousand Mongolian Eight Banners.

The Mongols who were caught had lost all their courage. Some of them begged for their lives in uneven Chinese to the Ming army, desperately declaring that they were not Manchus who had irreconcilable hatred with the Han people, but Mongolians who were "swalking". In the last stage of the battle just now, the Manchu imperial guards ruthlessly shot and killed the Mongolian Eight Banners defeated soldiers who were attacking the imperial camp, which made many prisoners lose the idea of ​​stubborn resistance.

The eight-banner leader of the Meng Baqi Zuo who was brought to Deng Ming was covered in blood, and a new red seeped out from under his military uniform, expanding the blood stains on his body.

"The villain's grandfather and father are all the guards of Lin Dankhan." The Mongolian Eight Banners Zuoleng was fluent in Chinese. He tried hard to find a way out for his subordinates in front of Deng Ming: "The villain's father died in battle with Jianqi. We were defeated and captured by Jianqi, and had to go into battle to fight to the death. I believe that Lao Khan had served the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and the admiral knew very well."

"This Tartar, he fought harder than anyone else just now," Zhou Kaihuang said contemptuously: "It is as fierce as the Jianzhou Tartars. Only when they are captured will they say they are Mongols."

The father and ancestors of these Mongolians did have been enemies of Huang Taiji, but with Lin Dankhan's death, his wife and troops all surrendered to Huang Taiji and followed the Manchus to enter the pass and grab the x-rift. Many Mongolians became meritorious ministers of the Qing Dynasty and were incorporated into the Eight Banners of Mongolia.

"Lin Danhan also brought his troops to commit crimes, and he is also a thief." Ren Tang added that he had no favoritism for the Mongols.

Deng Ming's thoughts floated a little further away at this time. In his previous life, the Mongols might have a relatively big difference from the Han people, but the Manchus had already integrated into the Han people, and I'm afraid there was only the difference between their ID cards and household registration books. Deng Ming once heard a Manchu classmate inadvertently calling the Later Jin Tartars. Although that classmate immediately corrected his statement, it was obvious that in his consciousness, the Manchu Eight Banners and the modern Manchus were completely two ethnic groups; coincidentally, Deng Ming also knew that two people once talked about the inclusiveness and historical superiority of the Han people, although one of their ancestors was the Zhengbai Banner and the other was the Zhenghuang Banner.

But now, in front of the Ming army, the Eight Banners of the Mongolians would use the reason they were not Manchurians to show their closeness to the Ming army.

"We used to release a large number of Manchurian prisoners of war. My companions regarded this as a means to dismantle the fighting spirit of the enemy. Out of respect for me, they did not try their best to oppose this policy. I don't know how they discussed this matter behind their backs, nor do they didn't say fierce words in front of me." Because of the relationship between the previous life, it was difficult for Deng Ming to develop a deep hatred for the Manchu race. Deng Ming's view of the Eight Banners of Manchus is that all Manchurians who participated in the massacre of the city needed to pay.

Fate - This view is also suitable for Han people like Li Guoying and others; as for the newly-entered Manchu Eight Banners, in Deng Ming's mind, they were no different from those green camp prisoners who had no blood debt. However, when he heard the captive Zuoleng just now, Deng Ming realized that his thoughts might be too advanced. He looked at the imperial camp opposite, and the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guards were ready, without any wavering or surrendering to the Ming army: "Maybe in this era, the only one who dares to claim to treat the Manchu and Han tribes equally is me, right?"

"Do you want to survive?" Zhou Kaihuang scolded the Mongolian Eight Banners Zuo, saying: "Do you want to prove that you are not a Manchurian Tartar? Okay, go ahead and capture the Tartar Emperor to meet the admiral. We will spare your life and give you an official."

The Mongolians were stunned for a moment when they heard this and said hesitantly: "I am willing to serve the court, but many of the villains have seriously injured their brothers. Besides, we don't have weapons."

"You still want weapons. Do you think we are idiots?" Zhou Kaihuang sneered: "Don't worry, I will give you rattan cards and wooden boards. Also, don't pretend to be dead. You just now had such a strong resistance. You wanted to pretend to be seriously injured when you broke your mouth. How could it be that cheap?"

Deng Ming glanced at Zhou Kaihuang. Deng Ming once ordered that the prisoners should not be driven away, because in Deng Ming's concept, being captured and surrender were two different things. He never planned to force the enemy's prisoners to act as cannon fodder vanguard like Wu Sangui forced the Western Camp to attack Li Dingguo. Previously, the Ming army also recognized Deng Ming's humanitarian concept and no longer forced the prisoners to submit their names. However, it was obvious that in Zhou Kaihuang's mind, Han prisoners of war were humans, while Mongolian prisoners of war were not.

Not only Zhou Kaihuang thought so alone, Ren Tang also urged from the side: "Do you still want to delay time and escape back to serve the Tartar Emperor? Or do you think our sword can't kill anyone?"

"There are indeed many people who are seriously injured..." The Mongolian Zoreng's lips trembled. He knew that the fate of hundreds of people of his tribe depended on his answer. When Zhou Kaihuang heard his words, he immediately looked cold.

"Yes, the villain knows." The leader of the Mongolian Eight Banners no longer spoke, but knelt down at Deng Ming: "I heard that the admiral was unparalleled in his loyalty. As long as the admiral said a word, he promised that the villain would not be executed. We will take the head of the Tartar Emperor to the admiral."

The Mongolian leader was preparing to agree to Zhou's request to open up the land. As long as the Mongolian soldiers with one breath were charged, they would be charged into the suicide squad. Whether they could survive depends on their fate. However, in the attack on the Qing army, the leader hoped that Deng Ming could guarantee to contain them, rather than stab him to death.

"The injured ones don't have to go, I will have someone bandage them the wound." Deng Ming replied: "Brothers, father and son are here, you can choose one to stay. Anyone who is injured will give them food and medicine just like the wounded in our army until they are healed."

"Admiral Ende." The leader kowtowed to Deng Ming a few times. Then he went to select commandos under the surveillance of Ming soldiers.

"Admiral," Zhou Kaihuang did not speak out against his decision while Deng Ming was speaking, but after the Mongolian left, Zhou Kaihuang couldn't help but say: "The Tartars are all wild animals, and kindness is useless to them."

"The dead Tartars are the good Tartars." Deng Ming said softly.

"The Admiral said it's right." Zhou Kaihuang nodded heavily. In his opinion, feeding Mongolian wounded soldiers was a waste of food. Even if the wounded soldiers could not climb the wall of the imperial camp, they could waste the bows and arrows of the Imperial Guards, right?

"It's good that the admiral does this. If they want their younger son and younger brother to survive, they have to work hard." Ren Tang figured it out and praised Deng Ming's decision: "If they fight seriously, it would be better than forcing them up with a knife."

...

The Ming army was in full swing to prepare for the pre-war period, and a large number of auxiliary soldiers had arrived. They unloaded the parts of the construction vehicle from the vehicle and skillfully assembled them. At the same time, they also pulled ten bronze cannons. When installing these siege weapons, the guards reported that the suicide squad composed of the Mongols was waiting for Deng Ming to review.

Six hundred of the 800 Mongolian prisoners joined the suicide squad. Deng Ming inspected and eliminated hundreds of minor wounded people from it. The Ming army believed that they were all slightly injured, but Deng Ming felt that their injuries were already very serious and could not complete the offensive task. In addition to these wounded people, Deng Ming also picked and picked them out, and also picked out the Mongolian soldiers he thought were too young. After Deng Ming's selection, the number of suicide squads changed from 600 to 300.

"Give them armor and don't let them go up shirtless." Deng Ming ordered the weapons seized from the Mongolian Eight Banners Camp to return them. As long as they can carry them, they can even put two or three layers of armor.

In front of these three hundred Mongolians, Deng Ming took out a feather arrow from the quiver pot, held each hand and said to them loudly: "As long as you don't betray me, no matter whether you have captured the camp gate of the imperial camp, I will treat your 500 compatriots well. After the war, they can decide to stay or not, and I will never force them."

As Deng Ming said that, he broke the feather arrow in his hand and threw it to the ground.

"If I break my promise, there will be such an arrow." Then he took out another one from the quiver and held it tightly with his hands: "If you are injured on the battlefield, I will do my best to heal your injuries."

After breaking the second arrow, Deng Ming took out the third one: "If you are injured and disabled, I will give you a lifetime allowance to ensure that you have a place to live, to hide from the wind and rain under the eaves, and there are enough bread to fill your stomach on the table. If there is any violation, I, Deng Ming, have such an arrow."

"The admiral is too lenient. If these Tartars are disabled, will the admiral really support them for the rest of their lives?" When the Mongolians went to put on armor, Zhou Kaihuang protested again. When Deng Ming announced the support of the disabled veterans of the Ming army, he agreed, but now he strongly opposed expanding the beneficiaries to the Mongolians.

"Anyway, you have to be protected for a lifetime. I would rather be disabled than those of the Eight Banners of Mongolia than ours." Deng Ming replied indifferently: "I will provide insurance to anyone who fights under my throne."

“What is insurance?”

"I'll tell you after the battle."

The Mongolian commando was a small team of 20 people. After receiving the order to attack, a small team of Mongolian soldiers wearing at least double armor pushed the chariot and attacked the camp gate of the imperial camp. There was also a small team of Mongolian soldiers who were also tightly wrapped with shields to cover them on both sides.

After seeing the Ming army dragging out the catapult cart and bronze cannons, the Qing army carefully avoided behind the wall, leaving only a small number of surveillance officers and soldiers.

Now seeing the Mongols pushing the cart, the imperial guards whistled and rushed behind the shield walls of the camp and watchtowers, aiming at the suicide squadrons. When the Qing army began to shoot at the Mongolians, the Ming army's siege weapons also opened fire. They had already locked the target of the catapult cart near the camp gate of the imperial camp through several school shootings. The heavy stone bullets wrapped in burning straw smashed towards the imperial guards.
