Chapter 392: Capture Yue Xuan
The most elite heavy infantry in the Tang army was rampant, and after entering the battle, the whole situation of the battle changed in an instant. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Dressed in heavy armor and armed with heavy weapons, the Tang army was rampant, and the Qing army on the opposite side was like two mecha monsters armed to the teeth, tearing each other ruthlessly, both wanting to kill each other.
It's just that the total soldiers of the Tang army here are three times the number of white swing teeth soldiers of the Qing army, so they quickly pressed those white swing teeth soldiers in an irregular circle in the middle, so that they have no possibility of escape.
In addition to the rampant general soldiers who attacked head-on, in the gap of the battle, there were also those Tang Army pikemen holding 4-meter stainless steel spears, and the waiter stabbed fiercely, making the white swing teeth in the circle unable to defend themselves, and constantly screaming and falling to the ground.
Under the fierce and ferocious attack of the Tang army, the white pendulum soldiers continued to shrink to the center like the ebb tide of the sea, and after only a quarter of an hour, more than half of the white pendulum soldiers had been killed and wounded.
Seeing the surrounding white swinging teeth soldiers screaming and dying, the commander of the Qing army, Yue Zhen, turned pale and trembled.
Finished!
It seems that he will die in this Jinan city today!
Yue Zhen never expected that Jinan City, which seemed to have become fat in his mouth, would be his own place of death, the contrast between before and after was so strong, so incredible, until now, Yue Zhen has a very unreal feeling.
"Yue Zhi! Surrender quickly and avoid death! ”
At the behest of Li Xiao, outside the rampant general of the circle attack, a Manchurian cavalryman of the Tang Army shouted loudly in Manchu.
The cavalry of the Tang Army shouted several times, but Yue Zhi was silent and did not respond.
The reason why he didn't respond was not how loyal Yue Zhi was to the Qing Dynasty, but because he knew in his heart that he had no right to surrender.
All his wives and children are in Shengjing, if he, the general of the Qing army and the prince of the Qing Dynasty, really surrenders to the Tang army here, he can imagine how Huang Taiji should be like thunder after getting the news, and his own wives and concubines and children will definitely be killed by this fierce and ruthless guy.
The only way to do this is to die in exchange for the lives of the whole family.
A trace of sadness suddenly flashed on Yue Xuan's face.
"Kill! Sons, let's fight and die for the Qing Dynasty right here! Yue Zhen shouted loudly, and with a tiger gun in his hand, he slashed at the rampaging sentry who squeezed into his formation.
Just when he was stubbornly resisting, a majestic and agile figure, with a group of rampant team members, slashed left and right, like a mad tiger, and finally broke through the barrier of the white swing tooth soldier and attacked straight in front of him.
"Yue Zhen, do you still recognize me?!"
The rampant general, who was dressed in steel armor and only showed two eyes, shouted at Yue Yu in Manchu.
Yue Zhi was stunned, he found that this voice was extremely familiar, but for a while, he really couldn't remember who this person was.
The rampaging general took off his helmet, and Yue Zhen's eyes widened unconsciously.
"Ahh It's you! ”
Yue Zhen was surprised to see that this rampant general with Han hairstyle was actually Ilgen Jueluo, who was killed and disappeared on the battlefield of Jinzhou in the early years. Chatta!
"You, didn't you die outside Jinzhou City with Ah Shan?!"
Yue Xuan finally managed to block the sharp blow of a rampaging soldier next to him, and asked Chata in surprise.
"Hmph, who said Lao Tzu is dead? Lao Tzu didn't die, Lao Tzu approached the Tang Army that day, and now he is the chief of the Tang Army's Xingzhong Town! Chata snorted coldly and said: "Yue Xuan, your troops are already under siege, how can you get out, I advise you to recognize the situation and surrender quickly to save your life!" ”
"Phew! Chatta, you thief, you still have the face to talk about me! Yue Zhen said angrily: "I am the dignified Prince of the Qing Dynasty, and I am the general of Yangwu who entered the army!" I am so deeply trusted by the emperor, how can I be like you, in order to save my life, I actually surrendered to the Han people! Now you have to use the blood of your clan to kill yourself to spread the promotion ladder for yourself, you Qing Dynasty traitor, this king can't wait to break your body into thousands of pieces! ”
With a ding, Chata grabbed Yue Xuan's head and slashed it, but he hurriedly shouted: "Yue Xuan, let me ask you, do you know that where are the Ebi Lun and Zhuo Naxi who you released and escaped that day?" ”
"Oh? Where are they?! ”
"They are all at the place of Master Li of Tang Guogong now!" Chata shouted and replied: "Ebi Lun is now the chief of the Manchurian cavalry in Xingzhong Town of my Tang Army, and Zhuo Naxi was accepted as a concubine by Lord Li, and gave birth to a daughter to Lord Li." ”
Listening to Chata's words, Yue Yu was shocked inexplicably.
It turned out that after they fled from the Qing Kingdom, they were all taken in by Li Xiao, one became his important general, and the other even became Li Xiao's concubine!
You must know that his wife Amushali and Zhuo Naxi are sisters, both of whom are the daughters of Mang Guji, so Li Xiao has become his brother-in-law!
This, this is simply ......
Yue Zhi was confused for a while.
The move in his hand was suddenly messy, and Chata saw that he was in chaos, and with a roar, the heavy back of the knife slammed into Yue Zhen's back, Yue Zhen was caught off guard, and with a miserable scream, he was slammed to the ground.
Chata immediately rushed forward, his arms relaxed, grabbed his belt, lifted Yue Yu, who had already passed out, from the ground, and then tightly held it under his arm.
Then, Chata turned around and shouted angrily at the remnants of the less than a hundred white-toothed soldiers beside him: "You have been captured by the commander, if you don't surrender early, you will be killed!" ”
After listening to Chata's thunderous roar, and seeing the commander of the Qing army, Yue Xuan, he was tightly coerced by him, and a group of white-toothed soldiers no longer had the heart to fight, and knelt down to ask for surrender.
Seeing that Chata had already captured the commander of the Qing army, Yue Zhen, and that the white soldiers had knelt on the ground and begged to surrender, Li Xiao in the distance issued an order to stop the killing in time.
"Master Li, what should I do with Yue Yu now that he is in a coma?"
In the midst of the cheers of Wansheng, Chata dragged the fainted Yue Yu to Li Xiaoma.
Li Xiao groaned slightly, and then shouted loudly: "Quickly drag Yue Yu into the city wall, and send an order to the Qing army in the city that is desperately resisting for each other, telling them that the main general has been captured, and asking them to immediately lay down their arms and surrender to our army!" ”
"Obey!"
Soon, Yue Xu, who had passed out, was tied up by a group of Tang soldiers on the city tower, and shouted loudly to the city while walking along the city wall.
"Tartars! Look ahead! Your commander has been captured by our army, and your defeat has been decided, and it will not be sooner, let alone when! ”
"If we don't descend early, our army will definitely attack and kill all of them, and not a single one will be left alive!"
"Surrender quickly, you can avoid death, miss this opportunity, go to hell and regret it!"
The Tang soldiers who were walking on the city wall with Yue Fu kept taking turns in Manchu and Chinese.
Seeing his own commander, he was like a dead dog, dragged by someone to shout to himself, and the Qing army in Jinan City was in chaos.
The Qing army, which was close to the south of the city, began to seize the time, and took advantage of the fact that the main force of the Tang army had not yet reached the south gate, and immediately fled towards the south gate without regard for it.
The Qing army in other places had suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Tang army, and now seeing the commander being arrested, these Qing troops, who were originally supporting each other for the war, suddenly had no courage and motivation to fight, and knelt down and begged to surrender.
Like Ma Guangyuan, the chief general of the Han army, who was captured alive by Li Xiao in the Korean War, the Han army with a red flag and a solid mountain Ezhen, immediately broke off the opportunity and shouted to the Tang army: "Brothers of the Tang Army! You don't know that Ma is actually a subordinate of Lord Li, and he is an undercover agent arranged by Lord Li in the Qing captives, and he has long wanted to lead his troops to surrender. It's really helpless to fight with your army tonight, it's all forced by the Tartar lord! Now let's lead the department anyway, brothers show mercy and don't fight anymore. Everyone is Han Chinese, and they are all subordinates of Master Li, this family can't fight their own family! “
Ma Guangyuan's extremely shameless shouting made all the Tang soldiers who were fighting with him look disdainful, but seeing that these thousands of Han soldiers were kneeling and begging to surrender, the Tang army that surrounded them still stopped killing them.
Seeing that the Qing army was begging for mercy everywhere, Li Xiao also sent his subordinates to send orders everywhere to let the Tang army stop killing and accept the surrender of the Qing army on the spot.
At the same time, Li Xiao ordered all the cavalry troops to seize the time to pursue the Qing army that had fled from the south gate, and strive to intercept the south gate urgently, so that the Qing army could no longer escape from the south gate.
As for the Qing army that had escaped from the south gate, it was difficult to pursue because of the dark night outside the city, so they could only flee with him.
After the cavalry of the Tang Army urgently penetrated the south gate, firmly blocked the south gate, and forced the Qing army, which had not yet escaped from the city, to surrender on their knees, this tense and tragic battle for the capture of Jinan, which had suffered heavy losses on both sides of the enemy and us, finally came to an end.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Kill the Tartars, make a meritorious name!"
"Kill the Tartars, go to heaven!"
The continuous cheers of the Tang soldiers were like thunder, resounding in the sky above the burning city of Jinan.
At this time, Li Xiao immediately ordered the Supervisor to organize the people in the city to quickly extinguish the fire that was spreading and burning throughout the city, and then let the victorious Tang army urgently clean up the battlefield and count the results.
Covered in blood and scarred, Song Xuezhu, the governor of Shandong, and Gou Haoshan, the prefect of Jinan, came to Li Xiao with the support of his militia, and bowed his head.
Li Xiao hurriedly helped the two of them up, Song Xuezhu's eyes were wide, his bloody face was full of gratitude, and he said loudly: "Tang Guogong! If you hadn't arrived in time, the wealth and people of Jinan would have fallen into the hands of the Tartars! Tang Guogong to the military and civilians of Jinan, can be described as a kind and reconstruction, please accept the next worship! ”
Song Xuezhu bowed his head again, and Gou Haoshan on the side also knelt down in his clothes.
Li Xiao hurriedly helped the two of them up again, and said in a harmonious voice: "The two of you should be like this, get up quickly." The city of Jinan was tragically devastated, but the official was a step too late and did not rescue in time, which is very regrettable. ”
Hearing Li Xiao say this, Song Xuezhu gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Hmph! If it weren't for Liu Zeqing's gang to surrender to the enemy and let the Qing captives enter the city, this Jinan is an important city in Shandong, and it is well prepared, how could it be so easy for the Qing captives to succeed! Thanks to Lord Li, you were able to arrive in time and give these captives a shut-off to recapture the city of Jinan. ”
"In the next place, for the soldiers and civilians of Jinan, I once again thank Lord Li for saving his life!" The prefect of Jinan is good, and he also added a sentence next to it.
Li Xiao smiled and waved his hand, and also comforted them: "Two, when Liu Zeqing rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered the city, you can still lead the militia and young people alone to guard this official mansion and the important land of money and grain. The two of you have been injured in many places, and you should go down to rest and recuperate first. If you wait for the merits, this prince will truthfully report to the imperial court and ask for credit for you. ”
Unexpectedly, after listening to Li Xiao's words, Song Xuezhu didn't have much excitement on his face, but said sadly: "Lord Li! There is a way that when you hear the drum and think about the good general, the court uses non-people, so that this Jinan suffers this catastrophe! If Tang Guogong had been arranged to guard this Jinan City earlier, this thousand-year-old city, he would have suffered such a catastrophe! ”
Hearing Song Xuezhu's words, Li Xiao's heart didn't move.
However, considering that there were many people around, Li Xiao groaned slightly, and did not talk much with Song Xuezhu, but politely asked them to go down and rest first.
After Song Xue, Zhu Gou and Haoshan retreated, the battlefield statistics report of the Supervision Department also came out.
Xu Jie, director of the Xingzhong Town Supervision and Pacification Department, reported to Li Xiaoyu with an excited face: "Report to Lord Li, our army captured a total of 23,520 Qing troops in this battle, including 7,850 Han troops, 6,535 Mongolian soldiers, and the rest are Manchurian Tartars. Our army has won a complete victory in this battle! “
Without waiting for Li Xiao to speak, Xu Jie continued to say excitedly: "Tang Guogong, in this battle, in addition to capturing the commander of the Qing army, Yue Zhen, we also killed the deputy general of the Qing army, the Qing court clan Beizi Nikan, and Liu Zeqing, who surrendered the city, was all killed by our army, and no one was left. The only pity is that the Qing army, which numbered about 6,000 people, fled from the south gate of Jinan City and disappeared. “
Li Xiao nodded, although his face was still calm, he was also very happy in his heart.
Li Xiao has learned that there are as many as 40,000 Qing troops entering the city, and now more than 23,000 people have become prisoners, plus more than 6,000 people who have fled, that is to say, nearly 10,000 Qing troops were killed by their own soldiers in this battle.
For the Tang Army and Wu Sangui's combined army, which had a total strength of only about 20,000 troops, it was an amazing achievement to win this battle for Jinan.
"And what about the casualties of our army?" Li Xiao asked again.
Hearing Li Xiao's question, Xu Jie's face turned gray, and he said in a low voice: "Lord Li, although our army won this battle, the casualties were also quite heavy. The number of casualties in the army reached 4,215. As for the friendly Wu General Army, its losses were almost half. ”
Hearing this number, Li Xiao also sighed in his heart.
In order to win the battle for Jinan, their own troops paid more than a quarter of the casualties, almost the heaviest casualties since the formation of the army, it can be seen that this victory is really not easy to come by.
Moreover, the victory of this battle was still due to the fact that he took advantage of the chaos to sneak attack, fought against the Qing troops who were caught off guard and fought separately, and fortunately captured the enemy's main general, so that this battle could be won with difficulty.
If, he did not just arrive, but let the Qing army gain a firm foothold in the city of Jinan, and prepared for it, then if the Qing army in all departments has a unified command and can hold on to the city, it is impossible for him to win the victory.
In this way, this victory is still a fluke.
Xu Jie saw Li Xiao's face solemn, and said hurriedly: "Lord Li, now that we have taken this Jinan City, our army has captured a lot. A total of 18,000 taels of gold, more than 280,000 taels of silver, 150,000 stones of grain, and thousands of silk and satin goods captured by the Qing army were obtained. The money and grain storehouse in the city of Jinan has also been received by our army, with a total of 6,300 taels of gold, 160,000 taels of silver, 580,000 stones of grain, more than 18,200 silk and satin cloths, and a large number of ordnance and armor. ”
Hearing these very impressive figures, Li Xiao was very happy in his heart.
It's a sigh, these Qing captives, after a lot of hard work, came from afar, but in the end, they made wedding clothes for themselves. It's amazing.
And with such a heavy price, in exchange for this cruel and bloody victory, so many captures can be regarded as enough to comfort those Tang soldiers who were killed and wounded in battle.
"By the way, Master Li, according to our army's count, there are now more than 158,000 displaced people in Jinan City due to the destruction of houses. Next, how does Master Li plan to place them? Xu Jie looked at Li Xiao and asked softly.
