This small-scale exploratory offensive battle was a drop in the bucket for the Ming and Qing dynasties, each with more than 100,000 troops, but the significance of the battle was huge, to the point of exceeding the expectations of the commanders of both sides.

Wu Sangui's entry into the battlefield quickly pushed the Blue Banner cavalry, which was already on the verge of collapse, into the abyss of death.

The horse team of the Model Brigade was in front, and Wu Sangui's family was behind, and the battle between the two sides against the Blue Banner cavalry gradually became very tacit.

Wu Biao, who rushed to the forefront, led the lancers to disperse the already very evacuated Zhenglan Banner cavalry, and then the two columns of cavalry made close contact with the swords in their hands and the panicked and scattered cavalry.

And Wu Sangui's family members are happy to cut down those lone and wounded Zhenglan Banner cavalry one by one behind the three columns of cavalry, and every time they kill a cavalry, there will be family members who jump off the horse excitedly, pull out the short axe or untie knife on their waists, cut off the head, and loot the clothes, armor, weapons and property on the corpse, and then collect the war horse in one place.

The head of a Jiannu is a military feat, that is, thirty tinkling silver dollars, not to mention that the armor and weapons on these cavalry are worth a lot of money, and there are some silver coins and soft things on their bodies.

Seeing Wu Sangui's family members smiling happily and leading fat war horses, carrying human heads in their hands, and carrying captured armor and weapons on horseback, such a scene made the general soldiers and Ming cavalry who watched the battle salivate.

If it weren't for Hong Chengchou's strict military discipline, I am afraid that someone would have jumped out of the war group to grab the merits.

But. If the Ming army is happy, the Qing soldiers will naturally not be happy.

Huang Taiji on Rufeng Mountain, as soon as the two armies fought, his heart suddenly sank, knowing that this time the loss was doomed. Seeing that the cavalry of the Zhenglan Banner was slaughtered by the Model Brigade and Wu Sangui together, the screams of the Qing soldiers and the cheers of the Ming army continued to be heard in his ears, Huang Taiji's face suddenly became as red as blood, and then immediately turned pale.

Looking at the cavalry under the mountain, they were being chased and slaughtered, crying and running away, and there was a chaotic look. Hauge no longer has the arrogance of his past. Pale face, he muttered, "How can this be? ”

The princes beside him, who were all over him, had complicated expressions, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

However, Huang Taiji has been through battle. Reacted immediately. When he gave the order: "Mingjin." Let Dorgon be responsible for collecting the troops, and gather the stragglers of the various banners and departments. ”

After thinking for a moment, Huang Taiji ordered. At this moment, all the Qing troops stationed in Songshan Ridge retreated.

He could see clearly that for the Ming army, Songshan Ridge was not far from Songshan Fort, and on the side of the lying down, how could he allow others to sleep soundly? It is bound to fight to the death, rather than dispersing the troops and using them to fight with the Ming army, it is better to throw these points to the Ming army one by one to defend, and turn their living soldiers into dead soldiers.

In the sharp sound of the Qing army, Dolgon, who was waiting at the bottom of the mountain, sneered, and began to lead his subordinates, slowly pressing up, and began to respond to and collect the defeated soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner who fled and were in shock.

Seeing that the two white flags of the Qing army slowly stepped forward again, Wu Biao also ordered his subordinates not to rush forward again, but to keep a distance of 100 steps to prevent the coated soldiers from rushing up again. The two detachments looked at each other from a distance, watching them gather their troops.

One by one, the Qing army quickly withdrew to the trenches and camps, and the battlefield, which was still blazing like a hellish fire, became cold and silent in the blink of an eye.

The Qing soldiers retreated!?

After a little silence, the Ming army was the first to burst into cheers from the Ningyuan army, followed by the towns of the Guanning army, and then quickly spread to the entire Ming army camp. The huge cheers spread far away, and even in Jinzhou City, dozens of miles away, it was harmonized with the sound of cannons.

The Ming soldiers of the brigade waved the flags and weapons in their hands, cheering and shouting for such a brilliant victory for their comrades.

After obtaining the consent of Lord Hong, several general soldiers rode their horses and led their own personal soldiers and other guards to rush to the battlefield that had just experienced a fierce battle.

Passing past Wu Sangui's assembly place, corpses began to appear, and the farther west they went, the more corpses they walked in a few steps.

Under the early summer sun, the corpses and wounded of the Qing soldiers of all banners were densely packed, the unpleasant smell of blood greeted the face, and the moans of all kinds of dying strugglers continued. The rich smell of gunpowder and sulfur didn't seem to have dissipated, and the smell of blood combined with it made people smell sick.

The most tragic was the cavalry with yellow flags that were attacked by dense artillery fire and firecrackers, the artillery fire was dense and sharp, and many of the Jiannu cavalry who were hit were hit by projectiles that penetrated their armor and penetrated their internal organs everywhere. The shotguns used by the Big Franc and the eight-pounder cannon were the size of chestnuts, and they were almost invincible at close range of a few hundred paces, and the men and horses hit by the cannons almost shattered their bodies.

Piles of rotten flesh and bones, as well as all kinds of cyan and purple large intestines, small intestines, heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys, under the feet are blood flowing everywhere at will, the horse's hooves stepped on, slipping from time to time, so that the generals on horseback staggered, and thought that they couldn't get off the horse, but seeing the colorful and rich colors on the ground, everyone still held back, and barely made do with it on horseback! At first, all the general soldiers were still in high spirits, raising their whips to urge their horses to talk, and slowly their faces became pale, and the impact on them was too great.

Looking at the dense corpses of people and horses in front of him, all kinds of messy stump and intestines, thick pools of blood that overflowed his feet, and a pungent strange smell, a pro-soldier couldn't hold back anymore, his stomach churned, and he vomited.

As if an infectious disease had broken out, the sound of vomiting rang out one after another in the procession, adding something new to the Shura Hell under their feet.

Unlike these pale-faced visiting groups, the families of the Model Brigade and Ning Yuanjun did not feel so much discomfort. The faces of the family members were smiling like chrysanthemums in full bloom, and in the laughter, they wielded short axes in their hands and cut off the heads of the Qing soldiers.

The wounded of the Qing army who did not die were also cut down, and the heads were thrown in one place. Qing army weapons and flags scattered everywhere. It was also collected by the auxiliaries and miscellaneous servants, and all of them were collected in one place. Everyone was very enthusiastic to see more than a dozen Niulu flags, Jiala Guanxu flags, and even some armor and weapons flags of Jiannu officers at all levels were carefully placed separately as the basis for rewarding them for future inspections.

Among the seized items, the most coveted ones were the armor, horses, and weapons.

There were no less than a thousand war horses gathered in one place by the soldiers of the Model Brigade and Wu Sangui's family, all of which were fed very fat and good Mongolian horses, with saddles and chewing rings, and some of them still had the weapons of their old masters hanging on them.

Several piles of armor piled up like a hill, chain mail, cotton armor, iron armor, Nanzhong armor, and helmets were like a huge magnet to attract the adults who could hardly walk.

This year. The army is the capital of these commanders. The more soldiers and horses you have, the louder you speak, and the more elite soldiers you have, the more weight your words will have.

With these combat exploits. And then use these horses, armor, and weapons. I'm afraid that Wu Sangui will be able to expand thousands of families immediately, which is enough! Since then, this Liaodong front line. I'm afraid it will be the world of two surnamed Wu! Several general soldiers of the Guanning military system were full of vinegar in their hearts.

That night, the entire Ming army camp went from Songshan Fort to the outside of the city. The smell of stewed horse meat fills the air. The soldiers tasted the horse meat with laughter and laughter, and the officers were also very generous and did not withhold the soldiers' meat. The soldiers carried large bowls of hot and fragrant horse meat broth, in which large pieces of horse meat could be seen. Eating horse meat, chopping hot rice, excitedly talking about the daytime war.

The horses of the Qing army that were killed and wounded were generously contributed by the two Wu generals for the whole army to eat.

In fact, although the fiber of horse meat is rough, it still tastes good, just like beef, if the taste is too bad, there will be no unscrupulous businessmen who disguise horse meat as beef and sell it. Well, it seems that this is not only in China, but even in Europe, which is respected to the sky and is known for its strict food safety, there is also a large-scale cross-border sale of horse meat?

And Ma Ban intestine is a delicacy in the world, Zheng Yuanhe back then, just because Li Yaxian who was sick wanted to eat a mouthful of Ma Ban intestine soup, without saying a word, he immediately slaughtered his five-flowered horse and ordered someone to make soup and send it. The courage and ability of this Pan Donkey Deng Xiaoxian are enough to make today's local tyrants ashamed. Of course, letting a group of Qiu Eight Masters eat horse meat, naturally it can't be compared with what the famous prostitutes in the Qinglou enjoy, that is the case that requires the chef to cook carefully, otherwise how can you get into the cherry mouth of the beauty?

But in this era, as long as it's meat, no one will dislike it, and if you don't see Cao Cao's army, Uncle Liu's army, even eat human flesh?

The yellow flag of Sanshun Wang's department and Aobai, as well as the blue flag of Haoge, and the dead and wounded horses contributed by several families were evenly distributed by each department according to the proportion of the number of sergeants, and the soldiers of the Ming army had the blessing of eating meat.

In Songshan Fort, Inspector Hong's face was also flushed, and he listened to the report on the results of the battle statistics of the Military and Political Department with a little bit of alcohol.

"Master Governor, several fathers-in-law, in this battle, our army has beheaded a total of 2,263 people, captured 1,258 intact war horses, and captured more than 20,000 pieces of various armor, knives and guns, and another 1,000 and 34 self-made firearms. It's a pity that the soldiers under Brigade Commander Wu killed the enemy too bravely, and a large number of Jiannu heads were broken and incomplete......"

Before the military administration secretary could finish his words, a middle-aged fat eunuch who supervised the distribution of food and salary shouted loudly in a sharp voice: "Two thousand two hundred and sixty-three? Not counting the beaten and incomplete heads? In this way, the Tartars suffered a lot of casualties, and they fought well! ”

Hong Chengchou, who has been in the military for a long time, is also more than a head: "The number of beheadings of the two generals is so much, and many of the wounded and dead were taken away by Jiannu, and many corpses were destroyed by artillery fire, so that the casualties of the two Wu generals will not be less than 5,000!" ”

If it weren't for the fact that the generals and adults saw it with their own eyes, and a large number of heads and captured things were piled up in the camp of the Model Brigade and the Ningyuan Army, they would not have believed it even if they killed these general soldiers and soldiers.

The two Ming armies of more than 10,000 people, within one day, successively fought against the rebellious thieves of the so-called Sanshun King, the elite of the Yellow Banner led by the slave chief Huang Taiji, the fire soldiers of the Slave Chief Mergen Daiqing Dolgon, and the soldiers and horses of the Blue Banner of the Tiger Mouth, the eldest son of the slave chief Huang Taiji. How can it not be amazing that the slaughter and seizure are so huge?

Although it is said that those armor, knives, guns, and horses were generously given to Wu Sangui by Wu Biao, thanking him for leading the family to gallop back and forth and protect the flanks for his troops.

And Wu Sangui also knew the elegance after hearing the string song, and after accepting enough materials to train thousands of families with a smile, he even handed over the more than 1,000 flintlocks that were seized.

But in Hong Chengchou's view, the gains of this battle were far greater than the capture and beheading. The morale and fighting spirit among the soldiers in the towns were stimulated to a new height. It's no wonder that they are all family members, you can kill the Tartars and receive the reward, why can't we?

"But that's it!" The generals' hearts made such a judgment for Jiannu. Sweep away the previous fear of Jiannu. In its place is a contempt.

"Your Excellency. With such military exploits, should we report to the court and the emperor? ”

Zhang Ruoqi, who was also a little drunk because of the celebration wine, reminded Inspector Hong softly.

"Yes, he killed 33,783 enemies. The actual number of beheadings is 2,263, and there are more than 3,000 heads because of the rain of cannon stones. to be indistinguishable from the enemy. 1,258 horses. More than 20,000 pieces of armor, knives and guns of various types were seized, and 1,034 self-made firearms were seized. Our army pursued and killed in a hurry, and the slaves and thieves could not escape. There were those who jumped into the sea to escape, and there was a large group of routs from Songshan to Tashan in the south, and there were many dead people who went to the sea, and tens of thousands of horses and armor were abandoned. The floating corpses in the sea drifted for miles, as many as geese, and the smell was unpleasant. It is suspected that the eldest son of the pseudo-rebel Huang Taiji was killed in the mouth of the tiger, but unfortunately his face was destroyed and could not be recognized, only the prisoners of the pseudo-rebel blue flag identified and cried, and there were other things such as the armor and flag of the blue flag as evidence. ”

The copywriters who accompanied the army wrote a report to Emperor Chongzhen on the spot with a wonderful pen, although there were a lot of exaggerations in it, but they didn't dare to go too far, at least, the number of heads killed and the number of seizures were real.

In the mountain city of Rufeng, a dragon flag more than ten zhang high is big, hunting in the night wind.

Outside the original garrison hall, 100 Kabush soldiers stood in their positions as if steel was cast in iron.

Kabush Xianzhang Jingdasu, who was born in the Manchurian Yellow Banner Zhangjia clan, has a typical Manchurian appearance, with a big round face, small eyes, two mouse whiskers, and the skin on his face is black, red and coarse, and he has a set of Gebush Xian Soldier Attire, but the otter tail on the top of the helmet and the black tassel hanging on the helmet show his status and status.

As early as the fifth year of Tiancong, Dasu, who was then Baya Lazhuangda, and Yu Bai, who was also Baya Lazhuangda, led 24 armor soldiers to garrison Camel Mountain, and the Ming soldiers robbed the camp for 400 nights.

During the battle of Jinzhou, in February of this year, nearly 100 Ming soldiers were based on a mountain range on the periphery of Jinzhou, and the firearms refused to defend it.

Huang Taiji set up Ge Bush Xianchao Ha camp, the camp is only a few levels of Kalayi Angbang, Zhangjing, guards, Zhuangda, and a soldier, and Dasu has to be appointed as Zhangjing, which shows his extraordinary experience and skills.

Da Su looked at Prince Su Haoge, the owner of the Zhenglan Banner who had been kneeling at the door for a long time, and couldn't help frowning, he wanted to worship like that, and stepped forward to say to him, "Your Majesty has gone to bed, do you plan to let Your Majesty get up and talk to you at night?" "However, it is okay to say this to Abatai, Azig and others, but not to this Prince Su.

Everyone knows that Haoge is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, and he is called the pseudo-prince in the Wen Jiàn of the Ming Kingdom. His status as a human being can be seen.

Hard-headed, Da Su saw that Huang Taiji's bedroom was brightly lit, and summoned up the courage to go in and speak for this prince who was brave and unusually brave, but lacked strings in his mind when doing things and talking.

"Your Majesty, Prince Su has been kneeling outside for an hour, and it is windy at night, do you think you invite him here to teach him in person?"

"It's windy?! Better! Let him sober up! ”

Huang Taiji mentioned that this son did a bastard thing today, and he didn't fight anywhere.

As the owner of the Zhenglan Banner, Prince Su, and held an important position in the court, he actually disobeyed the general's orders during the battle, and saw that the Southern Barbarian Army was entangled with the clothed soldiers under Dolgon, and he actually ordered the cavalry of the two Jiala of the Zhenglan Banner under his command to go out into the battlefield without authorization.

If the Dolgon brothers are darker, they will say something similar to the blue flag intending to trample these coats of the two white flags with the Southern Barbarian Army and the like, and he Huang Taiji can only listen.

What's more, his two Jiala cavalry were actually driven around like a flock of ducks by a group of Sichuan soldiers who couldn't ride horses well, and less than 20% of the nearly 3,000 people and horses of the two Jialao came back intact. It can be said that these two Jiala have no combat effectiveness in a short period of time.

After getting this news, the world was spinning, Huang Taiji almost fainted to the ground, he already had "wind vertigo", specifically expressed as liver depression and discomfort, easy to get angry, blood flow upwell, dizziness, causing stroke, high blood pressure and a series of symptoms.

I don't want a small sentinel battle to be fought like this!

If Hauge is a man who knows the height of his eyebrows and eyes, and can see the wind and fire, he should not say anything more at this time, but ask everyone not to put the blame for the defeat on his head.

I don't want this eldest son of the emperor, who is more than brave and lacks strategy, but he created a big storm for Huang Taiji! (To be continued......)

PS: It's the end of the month, do you still have tickets?
