Chapter 65: The Battle of the Tiger

"Damn it!"

Seeing that there was only one person on the other side, and he dared to pursue the three of them frantically without abandoning, Wu Sangui instantly became furious!

"When I am Wu Sangui, is it a soft persimmon? It's so easy to bully? ”

"Nima's! This guy has to be killed before he can run away! ”

After all, the other party is so reluctant to pursue, and the current east city gate has not been opened at all, and it is impossible to open the city gate and escape before the other party catches up with him.

"Want to die? Lao Tzu will fulfill you! ”

Wu Sangui was angry, evil was born from the guts, as soon as he reined in the horse, he wanted to turn the horse's head, and suddenly heard a gunshot in his ear!

"Bang!"

He immediately felt his head explode, and he lost consciousness.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Two more gunshots rang out, and the two brothers, Zu Zefa and Zu Zerun, also had their heads exploded, and the red and white splashed out, flying everywhere.

All three of them fell to the ground from their horses almost at the same time, and their lives were whimpering!

"Cool!"

Hao Shaoqi, who came from Pegasus, proudly blew the green smoke from the muzzle of the gun with his mouth, and said secretly, "No wonder, Your Majesty likes to shoot the enemy so much, it turns out that the headshot kills are really cool!" ”

He first spent a little effort to control the three frightened Liaodong war horses, and then looked at the three corpses lying on the ground a little embarrassed.

"Forget it, it's a little troublesome, these three guys are also important people, they have to pull their bodies and hand them over to the clerk for registration."

Hao Shaoqi originally wanted to continue to kill the enemy immediately, but now he had no choice but to untie a pair of reins from a war horse, connect them with the three horsewhips on the ground, and tie the legs of the three corpses together.

Then, he dragged the corpse with his yellow horse and took the three war horses together to turn back in the direction of the West Gate.

In the newly promulgated military merit system, the enemy's important generals, whether they are prisoners or corpses, have the same military merit records.

The value of these three corpses is extremely high, and Hao Shaoqi will definitely not give up these military exploits that have been obtained.

Anyway, now in Shanhaiguan, the traitors have collapsed, and there is no resistance, and if they go to kill again, they can't kill a few enemies.

It's better to keep the current results.

……

"Your Majesty, those recalcitrant rebels have basically been wiped out."

Sun Chuanting reported to Zhu Youxiao, who entered Shanhaiguan and came to the City Lord's Mansion.

"Because the artillery fire of the Boy Guards was so fierce, as soon as the city was breached, the enemy army almost completely lost the will to resist, and after the soldiers rushed into the city, they basically took prisoners, and did not encounter any decent fighting."

"Most of the leaders of the rebels were killed by artillery fire, and the few who fled were either killed or captured."

Sun Chuanting methodically reported the results of this siege battle, "And Zu Dashou, who Your Majesty is focusing on, was killed by a cannonball at the first time, and that Wu Sangui, when he fled, was caught up and shot by Hao Shaoqi." ”

"In this battle, most of the main civil and military officials in the entire Western Liaoning Corridor have been killed and wounded, and the entire Western Liaoning Corridor area is already in our pocket, and we can control all these large and small military towns at any time."

"Oh, there's more."

Sun Chuanting remembered one thing again, "I have ordered the soldiers to deal with Shanhaiguan according to the usual handling mode of the capital. ”

"In addition, the plan to exterminate the family and renovate the old city has already been implemented."

"The reason why I am so anxious is that I have captured nearly 30,000 Liaodong generals, and there are still nearly 100,000 displaced people in Shanhaiguan, so we have to organize them to carry out labor reform and work for relief, so as not to cause chaos."

"Well, that's good."

After listening to this, Zhu Youxiao was very satisfied.

This massive siege battle also ended in a tiger-like manner.

He was not involved in the battle.

It's not that he doesn't want to have fun, it's that the civil war is no longer interesting for him.

If you want to kill, go and kill the Tartars, that's the fun.

Sun Chuanting finished reporting and left after a while.

In the current No. 1 level in the world, there are many things for him to deal with.

At the very least, it will take about two days to completely restore order in Shanhaiguan.

Not to mention, the city gate that was blown up in Shanhaiguan, as well as many damaged buildings, the sanitation and cleaning in the city, and the interrogation and screening of prisoners......

These big and small things, now Yan Yingyuan did not come to Shanhaiguan, and they all fell on Sun Chuanting's head.

Who made him the biggest official of the expeditionary force other than the emperor?

"Having said that, these Liaodong officers and soldiers are too careless."

Zhu Youxiao said with some surprise.

In the history of his previous life, this Liaodong Iron Cavalry was the strongest combat force in the Ming Dynasty, and he originally thought that there would be a vicious battle this time.

"It is estimated that eighty percent of the reason is because those civil and military officials were killed by artillery fire at the first time, and the dragons were leaderless."

He understands very well how vulnerable the rebels and rebels will be once they fall into a leaderless situation.

After all, if he was able to quickly reverse himself in the capital, he unexpectedly killed all those rebel ministers, and then he got a valuable opportunity to turn the tables.

Having said that, according to the confessions of some prisoners, almost eighty percent of the combat strength in this western Liaoning corridor area had been gathered in Shanhaiguan before, and there should be at least more than 50,000 soldiers.

The result?

According to Sun Chuanting's report just now, the number of prisoners of all the officers and soldiers in Liaodong was only about 25,000.

Those dead soldiers, together with the artillery bombardment, only killed less than 5,000 people in this battle.

In this way, all the generals gathered in Shanhaiguan before added up to only 30,000 people.

"Humph!"

Zhu Youxiao thought about it and understood the trick, "These traitors sent people to the capital and stretched out their hands to ask for the salary of 200,000 troops!" Quite an appetite! ”

He had long known that all parts of the Ming Empire were very serious about empty salaries, but he didn't expect that the border generals in the western Liaoning Corridor would be so unscrupulous when they ate empty salaries!

Now it seems that all the soldiers in this Liaoxi Corridor combined, at most about 100,000 people.

And Zu Dashou and Wang Zhichen sent people to the capital to urge salaries, and the number doubled at once.

And if these salaries are allocated, eighty percent of them will not reach the hands of ordinary officers and soldiers.

The original Ming Empire is really rotten.

No wonder, in the original history, two years later, the Tartars entered the customs and surrounded the Jingshi, and Emperor Chongzhen ordered Zu Dashou to lead the army to relieve the siege and rescue the driver.

As a result, Zu Dashou dragged his feet, and in the end he only brought 9,000 cavalry.

It's not that he doesn't want to send more generals, it's that there aren't that many cavalry at all.

At that time, he would not have more than 20,000 cavalry in his hands.

Leave some to protect the nest, and there are only so many that can be dispatched.

"Fortunately, I have harvested more than 10,000 good war horses, and this time it is not a vain job."

Zhu Youxiao thought of this, and finally felt some comfort in his heart.
