The battle continued until dark.

Liao Sangun led a battalion of 1,500 tigers and leopards, sweeping all the way from east to west, and the escaped Jiannu got into this net one after another.

There was also a Mongolian cavalry, about 400 people, which was discovered early by Liao Sangun with a telescope, and then quickly mobilized troops and horses to kill them head-on.

The Mongol cavalry had long lost its will to fight, and as soon as it saw thousands of cavalry coming to it, it immediately turned around and forcibly crossed the Sanggan River.

As a result, Liao Sangun led thousands of tiger and leopard battalions to chase and kill all the way behind, and ate more than 200 people alive.

The rest ran too fast, and after seeing that they couldn't catch up, Liao Sangun gave up, and then continued to pull the net to intercept and kill the Jiannu rout.

After dark, part of the Haw Par battalion transported the heads, prisoners, horses, and armor captured all the way back to Li Dingliang's camp, while the other part continued to pull nets outside to intercept them.

The Mongol cavalry that fled to the northwest was lost, and when Batu and Zhao Shengcai chased them to the vicinity of Shuozhou, they lost them because it was getting dark and they could not find the horseshoe prints.

But what is certain is that the Mongol cavalry entered the area around Jingpingsuo.

That area is a gourd land, the east is Hongtao Mountain, the west and north are the Guanshui Mountains, and further north there are the Great Wall and many military forts, and the city of Jingping is at the waist of the gourd, in which more than 1,000 Ming troops are stationed.

The Mongolian cavalry must not have understood the terrain in this area, and they got into it, and it was estimated that it would be difficult to come out.

So, Batu and Zhao Shengcai did not chase inside, but set up camp at Doosanyu in Hulukou to block the exit.

Li Dingliang had people count the captures overnight, and so far, a total of more than 1,700 levels have been beheaded, including 1,420 levels of Jiannu heads, including 85 heads of Bayala white armor soldiers, and the rest are Mongolian soldiers.

Among these chiefs was a Jiala Zhangjing, a red-flaged Dayan'a, who was shot in the head by a marksman on his mount, and three Niu Lu Zhangjing, all of whom were shot and wounded by the pursuers and tiger and leopard riders.

There were only three generals captured alive, one was Lausa, and the red flag Gara Yizhangjing was also the forward general.

There are also two Niu Lu Zhangjing, like Rausa, these two Niu Lu Zhang Kyoto were shot off his horse by rifled guns and wounded, and when he was taken away by his personal guards, he crashed into the huge net opened by the tiger and leopard battalion.

More than 1,200 war horses were captured, including more than 700 that Feng Yilong rushed back and 4,500 horses intercepted by Liao Sangun's tiger and leopard battalion.

After the number of armors was counted, Li Dingliang, who had always been heavy-minded, couldn't stop smiling.

The overall armor rate of Houjin can reach more than sixty percent, and the armor rate of Lausa's vanguard of 2,500 people is even higher, and three or four hundred of them wear double or even triple armor, and all of them are dedicated to the Guan Emperor army.

Even if it is still complete, there are more than 740 pairs of cloth iron armor, 484 pairs of cotton armor, more than 400 pairs of leather armor, 12 pairs of chain armor, and 18 pairs of piercing armor and scale armor.

There were more than 1,800 pairs of armor and more than 1,500 helmets, most of which were iron bowls with necklaces, and a small number of leather helmets.

In terms of weapons, nearly 2,000 knives and guns, more than 600 horned bows, and only 100 stone of grain were seized, and they were all scattered behind the saddles of those war horses, and one horse hung about seven or eight catties.

There are a lot of gold and silver treasures, this Jiannu should have plundered a lot of villages and towns before, almost every Jiannu or war horse has silver in their luggage, a few taels less, more than a few hundred taels, and even Lausa and a few officers have dozens of taels of gold, and finally found a total of 5,000 taels of silver, 200 taels of gold, as well as dozens of gold and silver jewelry and jade and other treasures.

In addition, there are a bunch of cowhide tents, blankets and other marching equipment.

This battle can be said to have won a lot.

It's just that these gold and silver treasures have Han blood on them.

The battle losses of the Guan Emperor's army were very small, and the casualties were mainly concentrated in the rush of Jiannu's dog jumping over the wall during the pursuit, with a total of 107 killed and 330 wounded.

The casualties weren't high, and overall it was a hearty victory.

……

Twenty miles west of Mayi City, in the camp of Emperor Guan's army.

After Qin Chuan received the good news, he laughed happily, and even if he patted his thigh, he decided that the five thousand taels of silver would be rewarded to the Guan Emperor Army who participated in this battle.

Li Dingliang and Feng Yilong's troops had 3,000 troops, Liao's three spear troops were 1,500, and these 4,000 and five major soldiers, one person was rewarded with one tael of silver, the captain was rewarded with two taels, the total flag was three taels, the hundred were five taels, the total was ten taels, the staff was fifty taels, and the three battalion officers were fifty taels of silver and ten taels of gold, and the silver was just divided, and the rest of the gold and gold and silver jewelry were put into the treasury of the financial secretary.

Half of those war horses, armor, and bows and arrows were left for Li Dingliang and them, and the other half was sent to the Qinchuan camp to equip the 5,000 troops he personally led.

Even the three hundred horned bows and arrows were all sent down.

Although the Guan Emperor army is dominated by muskets, the production capacity of muskets is too low, and only 1,600 have been produced in the past year and a half, so Qin Chuan has been training archers, this thing has a faster rate of fire than muskets, a longer range than javelins, and in the case of obstacles, it can also throw attacks, this musket can't do it, so bows and arrows will not be completely eliminated in three or five years. Xiaotao Chinese

The problem is that Qinchuan lacks bows and arrows, and there are a few archers, but the time to make a bow and arrow must be calculated on an annual basis, and the production capacity is pitifully low, so that hundreds of archers who have been trained for more than a year have no bows and arrows available, and among the Ming troops who surrendered, there are also more than 700 archers, but their bows and arrows lack maintenance, and many of them are scrapped, of which thirty percent have no bows and arrows available.

These newly captured angular bows can come in handy.

In addition to the good news, Liao Sangun also sent someone to send a report: Wanyan Yechen's department was only fifty miles away from Mayi City, and he had just set up camp on the bank of the Sanggan River in the evening.

According to the situation of the sentinel cavalry using binoculars, it is estimated that Wanyan Yechen's troops should have 7 to 8,000 troops, including 1 to 2,000 Mongol soldiers, and many Ahha, which is estimated to account for about half.

In other words, among the seven or eight thousand troops of Wanyan Yechen's department, there were only three or four thousand soldiers.

But there were about five or six thousand people in this part of the country, thousands of mules and horses, countless chicken carts, and thousands of pack horses and donkeys, and most of these vehicles and pack horses were full of goods, either grain or cloth or other goods.

After receiving this report, Qin Chuan immediately spread out the map, shone the oil lamp, drew a circle fifty miles east of Mayi City, and drew a straight line in the direction of Hongtao Mountain to the north.

In the battle during the day, the Laussa Department was not wiped out, and there must have been a rout who fled back to report to Wanyan Yechen.

The firearms of Li Dingliang's department have been exposed, and Liao San's gun department has also been exposed, and with Yan Yechen's troops, I am afraid that he will not dare to continue to advance.

He brought thousands of people with him, and he had so much money and food, it is estimated that he would not dare to pull out the camp and retreat in the middle of the night, because the march at night is easy to cause chaos.

So, it's time to take the initiative.

Luo Da Niu and Luo Babu have not yet been exposed, they should be lurking in the mountain beam north of Wanyan Yechen's department at this time, and the distance may be thirty or forty miles.

After pondering for a while, Qin Chuan called the herald and immediately ordered Luo Da Niu and Luo Ba to set off on the fourth watch, and be sure to rush to the rear of Yan Yechen's department at dawn.

Then, Qin Chuan summoned the generals in the battalion and issued one order after another.

About an hour later, Qin Chuan led the 5,000 soldiers and horses to set off, and he didn't even pull out the camp, and marched lightly.

When passing by Mayi City, Qin Chuan only brought a few red-clothed attendants, rode his horse to the foot of Mayi City, and shouted at the city: "General Cao Qi and Liu Zhixian are there?" ”

Someone from the top of the city came out and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Lou annoys Qin Chuan."

"Huh?"

The people at the head of the city were a little flustered, and then they heard a rush of footsteps.

Not long after, a young general wearing Ming armor at the head of the city poked his head out, hugged his fist at Qin Chuan and said, "Contemptible Cao Qi, I have seen General Qin." ”

Qin Chuan cupped his fists and saluted back, and said: "General Cao, Jiannu has already planted a big heel fight outside Mayi City, and early tomorrow morning, Qin will let Jiannu plant another heel fight, but before the arrival of the Jiannu army, Qin will retreat to Ningwu Pass, and the time will be ...... The Jiannu army is bound to gather in the areas of Mayi and Shuozhou, with a total strength estimated to exceed 50,000, and will stay here for a while. ”

"General Cao, a small Mayi city can't stop tens of thousands of Jiannu, and the day the city is broken, it will be a matter of Jiannu slaughtering the city, so General Cao should bring all the people in the city to Shuozhou, and it is best to persuade the defenders of Jingping City to also enter Shuozhou."

"Shuozhou City has a high wall, as long as you strictly guard against spies in the city, it will not be a problem to keep the last month, and Jiannu will retreat when the time comes."

Hearing this, Cao Jue's face changed slightly, and he quickly clenched his fists again, solemnly saluted Qin Chuan, and said, "Thank you, General Qin, it's just ...... Most of the people in the city are reluctant to leave their hometowns, and His Majesty has a decree, and those who fall into the city are going to die, but I am afraid that Liu Zhixian will not dare to leave. ”

Qin Chuan shook his head inexplicably: "Stay alive, don't be afraid of having no home, as for that holy decree, it is just bullshit in front of the lives of thousands of people, besides, the original intention of the holy decree is to keep the people and money and food in the city, and transfer the people, money, food and property to Shuozhou, which can also be kept." ”

"General Cao, in extraordinary times, you can only use extraordinary means, Qin can only block Daishan's troops and horses at most, and there are only seven days at most, when Huang Taiji's army arrives, all those who stay in Mayi City will definitely die!"

"General Cao, don't leave it here, there will be a period later."

With that, Qin Chuan arched his hand towards Cao Jue again, and then turned to leave.

Cao Jue opened his mouth, and finally sighed lightly, saluted solemnly, and shouted: "I wish General Qin a victory." ”

"Borrow General Cao's auspicious words."

Most of the firearms on this expedition were concentrated in Li Dingliang's place, so when Qin Chuan's 5,000 soldiers and horses passed by his camp, they received 80 tiger squat cannons and 500 flintlock guns, as well as Huang Liuxi's 50 sharpshooters with rifled guns, and then continued to march east.

Li Dingliang's troops had just fought a battle during the day, and they were already sleepy and tired, so Qin Chuan asked them to rest here for the night, recuperate, and go to meet again tomorrow morning.

Qin Chuan's 5,000 troops, plus Luo Daniu and Luo Ba's 4,000 soldiers, were enough to eat the three or four thousand soldiers of Yan Yechen's army.
