Chapter 163: Ashan's Death
"Tartar general, you can't surrender!"
When the remnants of more than 200 Jurchen cavalry were surrounded and slaughtered by Li Xiaojun's infantry on all sides, and kept screaming and falling off their horses, Bao Zhao, the sentry commander of the Xuanhu heavy cavalry who did not accept himself at night and knew a little Jurchen dialect, shouted orders on the periphery. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
When the main general Ahsan, who was attacked by three spearmen and two rampant team members, heard this violent shout, he was trying his best to resist the long-handled pick knife slashed by a rampant team, but his right leg was stabbed through by a spearman!
The severe pain made Ah Shan almost faint, almost biting his lower lip to make himself barely awake, now he was shot in both legs, he lost too much blood, every time he swung the heavy tiger gun in his hand, it seemed to take a thousand efforts, and then reluctantly tried his best to frame a tiger knife that slashed over, he roared loudly: "That's it, no need to fight, a certain family is willing to surrender!" ”
Chata, the nephew who was still struggling on the side, threw him a shocked and incredulous look.
Isn't it, Lord General is going to surrender?!
Did my ear hear it wrong?
You must know that even if the situation is no longer bad, the warriors of the Eight Banners have always had only one way to fight and die loyally, and they have never taken the initiative to surrender to the enemy!
Bao Zhao on the side showed a contemptuous smile on his face, and he snorted lowly: ", count you as a guy who knows current affairs." Then he ordered the besieging infantry to stop attacking.
Ahsan didn't look at Chatta, who was shocked and indignant, but just shouted out loudly the order for all the Houjin troops to surrender. When the cavalry heard this, they threw their swords one after another, dismounted and knelt down to surrender.
As the commander's order passed, the Tartar infantry in the distance, who were on the verge of collapse, no longer had the courage to fight, and like the cavalry, they threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.
This fierce and short ambush battle ended here.
Li Xiao's soldiers immediately counted and found that among the remnants of the Houjin army, only more than 150 cavalry and more than 800 Tartar infantry survived.
In Li Xiao's army, more than 100 shield soldiers were killed and wounded, more than 160 spearmen were killed or wounded, 12 sentry posts were killed or wounded, and more than 30 Xuanhu heavy cavalry were killed or wounded, and the rest of the troops were not killed or wounded. Such a small casualty rate is hardly worth mentioning compared to the huge results.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Kill the Tartars, get fame!"
"Kill the Tartars, go to heaven!"
.。。。。。。
Li Xiao's soldiers, who had won a great victory, all smiled on their faces, vigorously brandished their blood-stained swords and guns, and shouted slogans loudly to celebrate the final victory of the battle.
Li Xiao, who was surrounded by a hundred flying harriers, slowly rode forward and came to the Tatar cavalry surrounded by a group of Li Xiao's spear and shield soldiers.
Seeing that his own master was coming, the infantry on the periphery took the initiative to give way and let Li Xiao and others enter on horseback.
Seeing Ah Shan kneeling on the ground, Li Xiao suddenly felt that this person was a little familiar.
"Tartar, raise your head!" Bao Zhao on the side shouted in Jurchen words.
Ah Shan raised his head slowly, and when he saw his own Li Xiao in front of him, who was looking down condescendingly from his horse, both of them were shocked: "It turned out to be you?!" ”
The Tartar cavalry next to him and Li Xiao's soldiers on the periphery were all confused for a while.
What's going on, it turns out that the main general of his family has already known each other?
Ah Shan's mouth suddenly brought a trace of miserable laughter, he stared at Li Xiao's resolute and solemn face, and said slowly in stiff Chinese; "Li Xiao, I didn't expect us to meet again."
"yes, I would have been very sorry that I let you run away last time I was alone. I didn't expect that after a year or two, I finally caught Ah Shan. Li Xiao's face was full of ridicule.
Ah Shan shook his head with a miserable smile, raised his head suddenly, and said loudly to Li Xiao: "Li Xiao, defeated by you, Ah Shan, I am convinced, and I have nothing to say." It's just that now that our army has surrendered, I hope that you can look at the past friendships, don't kill these surrendered soldiers, and let them live. ”
"Ah Shan, you hear clearly, you are not qualified to talk to me about friendship, let alone negotiate terms with me." Li Xiao's voice was as cold as iron.
"Li Xiao, you Han people have a saying, people are dying, their words are good, birds are dying, and their songs are also mourning. To tell you the truth, if you don't consider fighting again, your subordinates will only sacrifice needlessly, and Ah Shan, I will not surrender! Please also see that for the sake of the green jade lion belt I gave you that day, let them go. ”
When Li Xiao subconsciously touched the green jade belt around his waist, Ah Shan said again: "Li Xiao, please believe me, you must know that according to the law of the Jin Dynasty, all masters will be killed by the enemy, and all his soldiers will be beheaded. Therefore, they have no possibility of returning to the Jin Dynasty now, please give them a way to live, they will definitely serve you loyally. ”
Li Xiao frowned slightly, but his heart moved, and he said in a dignified voice: "Ah Shan, you are pitiful, I promised you that I could spare their lives, but, haven't you surrendered to our army, why do you say that you still want to die?" ”
Ah Shan laughed miserably again, and he said: "I am a general of the Jin Dynasty, and it is my duty to be loyal to the country, so I can steal my life!" Besides, if I don't die, the news will reach the Jin Dynasty, and my younger brother Arzin and the rest of his family members in the Jin Dynasty may be killed by the angry Huang Taiji. ”
After Ahsan finished speaking, Chata on the side shouted: "Ah Mou, I want to be like you, never surrender, and be loyal to the country!" ”
"Smack!"
A ferocious slap slapped Chata in the face, and five thick fingerprints immediately appeared.
"You're a dead fart!" Ah Shan roared angrily: "Your brother Mo Luohun is dead, you are the only remaining blood and blood of the eldest brother, and I have always treated you as my own son, if you die now, then the surrender of our army is not meaningless." If it weren't for the sake of saving your life, do you think I would really be willing to let my soldiers surrender to the Ming army?! ”
Chata, who was beaten and bleeding from the corners of his mouth, choked in his throat, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it, just tears flashed in his eyes.
Ah Shan eased his tone, lowered his voice and said to Chata: "Chata, if you can stretch and bend, Fang is the eldest husband, Jin Guo was originally a subject country of the Ming Kingdom, and it is okay for you to switch to the Ming Kingdom now." Besides, you are quite brave, and now you have switched to Li Xiao, with your martial arts, there will be a day when you will come back in the future. Maybe one day, the person who will reinvigorate the lintel of my Ilgen Kyoro family may be you. ”
After listening to Ah Shan's words, Chata suddenly fell to the ground and cried, and kowtowed to Ah Shan continuously.
"Ah Shan, remembering the love you once gave the general's belt, the general allowed you to commit suicide, and you can keep your whole body." Li Xiao's voice was still so calm and cold.
Ah Shan wiped a handful of blood and dust on his face, shook his head and said: "Since ancient times, the general died in battle, and if he committed suicide like a woman, it would really underestimate my Ah Shan's name. Li Xiao, if I wait to renew the previous contract and fight again, Ah Shan will be willing to die. ”
"Very well, Ben will fulfill you." Li Xiao nodded, and then said to the guards on the side: "Give Ahsan horses and weapons, and help him get on the horse." ”
The sun is shining, the warm wind is blazing, the vast wilderness of green grass is undulating and rolling like waves, far away, Li Xiao, who is dressed in stainless steel armor, and Ah Shan, who is re-draped, respectively get on the horse, the two stared at each other silently for a long time, and then slammed the horse's belly together, hedging.
"Yikes!"
"Yikes!"
The two men shouted loudly, their spears in their hands, and in the hooves of their horses, which were running fast like a gale, they aimed at each other and rushed towards each other.
"Poof!"
With a dull sound, the sharp riding spear in Li Xiao's hand, most of the body of the gun, came straight out from behind Ah Shan. And Ah Shan's riding spear can be slashed over Li Xiao's shoulder.
"Jingle Bell."
Ahsan rode a spear in his hand and fell to the ground.
At this time, Li Xiao saw that Ah Shan had a smile of satisfaction and relief on his face, and he rolled silently from the saddle and fell to the ground, never moving again.
The wind is bleak, and the grass waves are surging, like a desolate and distant ballad.
"General Ben ordered that the corpse of this Ah Shan, as well as the corpse of Mo Luohun, be left with all the corpses, and bury them on this small hillside." Li Xiao turned over and dismounted, and whispered an order to Li Dingguo, the deputy chief of Chifeng, on the side.
"Order!"
Seeing that Li Xiao would rather not have first-class combat exploits, but also bury his uncle and brother alive, Chata was full of emotion in his heart, he kneeled forward, kowtowed to Li Xiao again and again, and said loudly: "Lord Li, from now on, I will be Ilgen Jueluo." Chata, I wish to serve the Lord wholeheartedly. ”
Unexpectedly, Li Xiao heard his words, but there was not much emotion on his face. He stared at Chata who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "This official promised Ah Shan that he would spare your lives." However, if the official wants to trust you from now on, he can't. ”
Chata was in a hurry, and hurriedly said loudly: "Then how can adults trust us and others?" ”
"First cut off the braids, and then change into my Mingguo clothes, and then go to Shandong for about a year of labor reform, if you can serve faithfully, this official can use it again." Li Xiao's words were not negotiable.
The horizontal flesh on Chatta's face trembled.
Cutting off the braids is not the most complete farewell to the customs of the ancestors?
However, he immediately thought that now he had no other way to go except to serve Li Xiao, and besides, he had already knelt down and surrendered, and there was no big festival, so he didn't care about keeping this braid.
"Please cut my braids, and I'll listen to the adults!"
Chata gritted his teeth and shouted out the words.
Li Xiao showed a satisfied smile on his face.
"Someone came, cut their braids, and in the future, these tartars, whether they are hairstyles or outfits, will be in the style of my Ming Kingdom." Li Xiao said with a smile.
A slight clatter sounded, and in the ridicule and insults of Li Xiao's soldiers, one after another small braids were cut off and thrown on the ground.
"it, you dog-in-the-top Tartars, always force my Han men to shave their hair and wear bearded clothes, so that my Han men have ruined their hairstyles and clothes, and like you, they have a pig's tail and no ghosts, and they don't even have the face to see their ancestors when they die! Hmph, now I have a taste of humiliation. ”
"Hmph, damn it, in Lao Tzu's opinion, these Tartars should be grateful to us before it's too late, or Lord Li is kind and spares their dogs' lives, at this time, don't say that it's just cutting the braids, I'm afraid I would have cut off their dog's heads a long time ago to repay the merits."
"That's it, let's change them from the extremely ugly ghost appearance to the appearance of normal people, speaking of which, it is a great merit, haha."
In the laughter and scolding of Li Xiao's soldiers, many Tartar soldiers began to cry softly, and some people held their cut braids in their hands, crying profusely, but no one dared to resist.
After a short time, Li Xiaojun cut off all the braids of these tartars, and Li Xiao ordered that all the tartars except for Chata be tied up and escorted by the auxiliary soldiers of the rear team.
Chata himself, according to Li Xiao's order, was assigned to the top five of the three teams of the rampant sentry and became an ordinary rampant member.
Like the other rampaging members, Chata, dressed in three-layer armor and holding a sharp tiger knife in his hand, stood in the middle of the rampaging members, listening to the high-spirited young armor with long hair giving orders, and all kinds of feelings in his heart were mixed and indescribable.
Half an hour ago, he was still an elite Bashiku of the Later Jin, bent on defeating the Ming army and making military achievements, but now, he has become a heavy infantry of the Ming army, and he turned his head to use the head of the Houjin army to fight for his own future.
Chatta felt like a world away.
Let's go, all the fronts are in the past, and we can talk about it. In the future, I will be in the Ming army and fight for my own future, Chata reluctantly encouraged himself in his heart.
And looking at the Tartars who were tied up in several rows, and the rows of slick heads, Li Xiao felt an indescribable happiness in his heart.
Damn Tartar, let you taste the humiliation of others today.
Li Xiao did this with long-term considerations.
After all, with the passage of time, in the future battles, Li Xiao will get more surrender tartars, and with today's example, the tartars obtained in the future can be handled in the same way.
After all, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the Houjin Tartars of the Wild Jurchen, and it is naturally impossible for him to kill them all, if he can ambush these battle-hardened warriors, wear down their national characteristics, and let them serve him in a down-to-earth manner, it is also a rare help for Li Xiaojun.
For example, the surrender of the barbarians who are already about to conquer Southeast Asia, such a fierce and brave and with no way out, is undoubtedly the best cannon fodder to charge into battle.
At this time, the battlefield had been completely cleaned, and 823 Tartar heads that were still intact were cut off by Li Xiaojun and placed on a four-wheeled carriage to take away, and all the armor and weapons of the Tartar soldiers were also packed up and transported into the vehicles separately. In addition, a total of more than 300 intact war horses were captured.
At this time, Li Dingguo, deputy director of Chifeng, came to report that all the soldiers killed and wounded in his own battle had been dealt with separately, and the bodies of Na Ahan and Mo Luohun had all been buried.
Li Xiao noticed that Li Dingguo's eyes were full of admiration when he looked at him.
In the battle, Li Xiao has always let Li Dingguo follow him, and he did not participate in the battle in person, but he also hopes that he can take a good look at how Li Xiao commands the battle, so that he can observe and comprehend it. Now it seems that the complete victory in the battle that he commanded just now should have touched and inspired Li Dingguo quite a lot.
Perhaps, under his own careful training, Li Dingguo will become a more outstanding and capable hero than in the original history.
Li Xiao patted him on the shoulder affectionately, and couldn't help but raise his head to look at it. Seeing the two small mounds that were not at all inconspicuous under the hillside in the distance, Li Xiao sighed inexplicably.
Li Xiao turned his head and began to order the whole army to start the next move.
Just now, through Chata's introduction, Li Xiao has learned that under the city of Jinzhou, only the 3,000 Han troops of Shi Tingzhu, the third-class chief officer of the Han army, are still besieging the city, and Duoduo himself led 5,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses to the Ningyuan territory to plunder. After listening to Chata's information, Li Xiao's eyes immediately jumped with a fierce and shining light like a wolf.
In Li Xiao's opinion, this 3,000 Han army, which was much worse than the Jurchen Tartars, was almost no different from a fat sheep to be slaughtered, and the more than 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command naturally wanted them all to swallow into their stomachs.
"Pass on my military order, the whole army will immediately rush to Jinzhou City, and the Shiting Pillar Department will be completely destroyed!"
"Order!" (To be continued.) )
