Chapter 123 The end of the battle

Zhou Shixiong's plan was to use suicide squads to attract Jiannu's attention and lead the large army to evacuate. But the plan was just a plan. Until the two Jiannu cavalry came to the front, Zhou Shixiong did not wait for a good opportunity to run away.

Fortunately, Zhou Shixiong did not express his plan, otherwise, Fang Zhenghua, Sun Zushou and others who followed him would definitely not have the fighting spirit of the present, and dared to fight with two thousand Jiannu to death with three thousand remaining soldiers. Zhou Shixiong was closely guarded by the personal guards, but he had no sense of security at all. The battle was as he expected. The exhausted soldiers of the Four Guards Battalion were only wasted Jiannu's charge and would be defeated. If Zhou Shixiong's accurate shooting of the personal guards had knocked down some of Jiannu's arrogance and had another charge, Zhou Shixiong himself would have lost his life.[]

At this moment, Black Cloud Dragon appeared. His appearance ordered Huang Taiji to recall the attacking cavalry, allowing Zhou Shixiong and others to escape. "Yu Jiaao, Peng Wuyi obeyed the order and counterattack!" Zhou Shixiong did not expect this situation to happen. He quickly ordered the pursuit when he saw the opportunity. He believed that as long as he could hold these two thousand Jiannu back to help, Black Cloud Dragon had the opportunity to deal with the Jiannu's formation.

Badu controlled the speed of the war horses, allowing the walking servants to keep up. He knew that only a dozen cavalry could not threaten the Jiannu's central army. Even if Lord Zhou's secret technique was magical, it would be meaningless to attack Jiannu with such a few people. "Lord Black is back!" A servant pointed to the battle flag fluttering in the wind in the distance and shouted happily. Badu looked at the Ming army who was killing here, raised his Pu Dao and ordered, "Stop!" Badu was still trying his best to spit out Jiannu's bloody face. Now seeing the hope of defeating Jiannu, he began to think about how to maximize the role of the suicide squad.

The suicide squad is only more than a hundred steps away from the Jiannu Central Army, and Lord Hei's troops are still one mile away. If the suicide squad rushes over now, it can cause some commotion at most, which will not help Lord Hei. If the attack is launched before the two armies join forces, as long as it can create some small chaos, it will be even more deadly to Jiannu.

The suicide squad suddenly stopped and Huang Taiji, who had been paying attention to the strange Ming army, was stunned. What were they going to do? The answer was soon revealed, and the Ming army was actually resting. They helped each other to pull out the arrows on their bodies, and didn't care at all that the barb-shaped arrows would cause secondary damage. The suicide squad once again proved that they were not human, and innocently watched Jiannu let out exclamations and chanting scriptures again.

Huang Taiji was upset. This Ming army made him uneasy. The Ming army that was coming here also made him uneasy. He stared at the approaching Ming army with a gloomy face. He estimated that the two thousand elite vanguard battalions could come back.

Sony advised again, "Master, you are a body of gold and cannot be risky. I'm going to ask your master to think twice." He didn't say he retreated and ran away, and people from learning to talk about security. Huang Taiji was definitely not a person who wanted to save face. He pondered for a moment and nodded, "Sony, I've left it to you here, remember to bring the eldest prince back."

Huang Taiji simply handed over the command to Sony, and he evacuated north under the protection of hundreds of guards. Although Zhou Shixiong discovered Jiannu's actions, he could only watch it because he couldn't do it.

Huang Taiji's departure determined that the defeat of the Jin army was inevitable. Although two thousand elite Jiannu, who attacked the main force of the Ming army, rushed back in time, the suicide squad led by Badu made another magical contribution. They launched a 56 attack on the enemy ten times their own, killing more than a hundred Jiannu and then all died in battle.

Heiyunlong ordered Lu Hong to lead most of the front barracks to intercept 2,000 Jiannu, and he led hundreds of elite troops to attack the Jiannu Central Army. With the assistance of the suicide squad, Heiyunlong formation killed Sony and cut down the Jiannu Crown. The remaining Jiannu fled in scattered battles, and the Ming army miraculously won the victory of the Battle of Baoqiuqiao.

Zhou Shixiong ordered people to find all the bodies of the suicide squad. He wanted to ask the emperor for rewards for these warriors and build a temple for martyrs. Zhou Shixiong personally dressed up the suicide squad warriors, especially the seventy servants of Man Gui. Zhou Shixiong would pounce on him and cry whenever he saw a corpse. He was really sad. The 700,000 robot only recovered less than 500,000, and lost more than 200,000. It would be strange if he didn't cry.

On the first day of the second month of the third year of Chongzhen, six thousand remaining soldiers escorted 3,000 large chariots to set off for Beijing. The carriages were equipped with the bodies of the soldiers who died in the Ming army, and the heads of Jiannu. This time, nearly five thousand heads were harvested, but none of them were alive prisoners of war.

The cavalry camp and the four guards battalions jointly defeated the main force of Jiannu. They arrived in the capital on the fourth day of the second month. At the same time, Zhou Shixiong and others jointly impeached Zu Dashou and Gao Qiqian's complaint. Emperor Chongzhen did not know whether to laugh or cry after receiving these memorials! Gao Qiqian used the excuse of returning to Beijing to report military information. As soon as he came back, he entered the palace to meet the saint and handed over the information about Jiannu collected along Zu Dashou, perfectly covering up the lies.

Emperor Chongzhen also asked Gao Qiqian why he left the cavalry camp. Gao Qiqian said that Man Gui was stubborn and ignored his advice. Gao Qiqian had to go back to the capital to sue the emperor, hoping that the emperor could punish Man Gui. On the point that the evil people complained first, Gao Qiqian came to the front again. He was really a gangster and could not stop him from martial arts!

In order to appease Zu Dashou and prevent him from running away again, Emperor Chongzhen and Sun Chengzong discussed this matter temporarily and did not reward or punish Zu Dashou. Gao Qiqian transferred from the cavalry camp to the Ningyuan army. The transfer from the Beijing camp to the local area was also a punishment.

On the seventh day of the second month, Zhou Shixiong and others returned to Chaoyang Gate, and all civil and military officials left the city for the ninth time to welcome them. There was no prisoner offering ceremony this time, but there was a Jiannu big flag as a spoil, which was enough to make Emperor Chongzhen show his ancestors. The big flag was the military flag, and only the lord of a country was qualified to use it. This spoil was only owned by Taizu and Chengzu. No other emperor of the Ming Dynasty had sent it to the Taimiao.

Since there was still a Mongolian army in the capital, the capital was still closed. After three days of celebration, Emperor Chongzhen held an enlarged meeting of officials in Beijing to discuss the post-war affairs. It is not an exaggeration to say this. Jiannu's strongest vanguard camp was ten, and there was no one intact in the Eight Banners. Huang Taiji did not dare to attack Yongping Prefecture under this situation. After gathering the remaining troops, he immediately came out of Xifengkou. According to Luo Yangxing's report, Jiannu transported thousands of trucks of property, food and thousands of people.

In the end, Jiannu captured thousands of people. Zhou Shixiong could not say he was happy or unhappy. He was sitting in the second position of the nobles, and his whole body was filled with cold air. Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon throne and looked at Zhou Shixiong with a cold air, and kept sighing in his heart. Since Zhou Shixiong entered the capital, he learned that the impeachment memorial would not be handled for the time being, Sun Chengzong also asked Zhou Shixiong to put the overall situation first and solve the problem of Jiannu and Mengren before talking about other things.

As a petty citizen in his previous life, Zhou Shixiong had never understood the overall situation, but he didn't know the overall situation. Gao Qiqian's grandson almost died. How could he be relieved if he didn't kill him? Emperor Chongzhen did not deal with Gao Qiqian and Zu Dashou, so Zhou Shixiong hid in the inn on the grounds of injury and illness. Today, Fang Zhenghua led people to carry Zhou Shixiong from the inn to the Golden Palace, and Zhou Shixiong reluctantly attended this grand dynasty meeting.

After Luo Yangxing reported the movements of Jiannu, Shen Yongmao went out to submit a memorial, asking the emperor to reward soldiers who made meritorious contributions. Shen Yongmao handed over the meritorious contributions and helped Zhou Shixiong and Man Gui calculate the general account, because Zhou Shixiong and Man Gui had not yet been rewarded for the great victory in Shunyi City. In addition, Zhou Shixiong's military achievements in raiding Sanhe City to save people and steal food were finally confirmed, and the two of them had to calculate the achievements.

Zhou Shixiong was the first-class Zhennan Marquis in Jin, with a fief of 3,000. Mangui, Jin, and Jin, and Datong Marquis in Mangui, with a fief of 1,000. Fangzheng became the third-class Anqiu Man, with a fief of 300. Heiyunlong and Sun Zushou were promoted to two levels in a row, and Jin, with a fief of 3,000. Wu Weiying got what he wanted, and Jin, and Xue Bao, and Jin, and Shen Fu, who had never gone anywhere, was promoted from a hundred households to a deputy thousand households for collective merit. Zuo Liangyu and Liu Liangzuo, who had not shown up for a long time, made new achievements because of their previous merits, and both of them were awarded the title of hereditary thousand households at the same time.

Shen Yongmao was very attentive to make this memorial memorial. Almost everyone’s rewards were very generous, and at the same time, he also left some room for the emperor to reward. Originally, this happy dynasty meeting would have been carried out according to this tone. Unfortunately, some people were unhappy and stood up to cause trouble!

"Mr. Shen, this Zhennan Marquis has no name or reality of leading the army. How can he be rewarded by Gao Zui and Admiral Fang?" As the chief assistant, Li Biao could not have seen any news of the war. He actually said that Zhou Shixiong should not be rewarded without name and reality, and he is really looking for death!

Shen Yongmao was about to argue when Emperor Chongzhen spoke, "Big companion, the chief minister is overworked, you can send him to the back hall to rest, and you must not neglect it."

Li Biao knew that the emperor was already very careful and did not make a move on the spot. But he had to come out to cause trouble because Zhou Shixiong advocated improving the status of soldiers, which seriously threatened the system of civil servants and nobles and lowly. For Li Biao, the leader of civil servants, it was equivalent to digging his ancestral tomb and was a great enemy of life and death. Zhou Shixiong expressed his appreciation for Li Biao's funny behavior. If it weren't for the noisy sign in the Golden Palace, he would definitely applaud and congratulate him.

Li Biao's search for trouble gave others a clear signal, and he opposed Shen Yongmao's request for merit and heard one after another, and no one cared about Emperor Chongzhen's face getting darker and darker.

When Liang Tingdong reported that Gao Qiqian was the military supervisor of the cavalry camp. Although he was now transferred to Ningyuan Army, his previous achievements could be rewarded. Zhou Shixiong stood up. "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Aiqing Zhou is a little worried, I know this." Emperor Chongzhen did not give Zhou Shixiong a chance to speak. He understood Zhou Shixiong's temper and made him burst into chaos. It would be better not to speak.
