Yang Xin's army finally completed the first total annihilation of Jiannu by the Ming army under the city of Zhenjiang......

Sort of.

After all, the three thousand Jiannu only ran away less than five hundred.

Except for those who died at the head of the waves and were killed by Yang Xin along the way, the other more than 2,000 people all died on this small battlefield under Zhenjiang City.

Including a flag owner.

Moreover, the Zhenglan Banner Baya Lama was also wiped out.

During the entire war, the more than 8,000 and eight banners of Korea, separated by a river several hundred meters wide, always stood still on Weihua Island, and immediately set up a barracks to defend itself on the spot after the battle was decided. The nearest Fengcheng is actually North Korea, and it is also an infantry, so it is impossible to come on foot a hundred miles of mountain roads in one day, and the other two thousand of Zhenglan Banner Manchuria are in Sanyang, even if it is a cavalry, it is impossible to run nearly two hundred miles for reinforcements in such a short time.

There are still some Eight Banners in the Kwandian area.

But there were more captured Han Chinese who served as grain slaves, and they were equally unlikely to come for reinforcements.

In fact, they don't know anything about this at all, and if they do, I'm afraid they would have defected to the Ming army.

All in all, the battle ended perfectly.

The Ming army, under the leadership of Yang Yishi, once again won a brilliant victory.

Of course, the losses are not small.

Yang Xin's Dangkou army alone suffered 200 casualties and 300 wounds, and the actual casualties were 500, while Sun Yuanhua's new army suffered 400 casualties and 500 wounds, Shen Yourong's naval army suffered 300 casualties and 400 wounds, and Mao Wenlong's army, which suffered the most casualties, also suffered 1,000 casualties, and the total casualties of the various armies exceeded 4,000, which was actually close to one-third. This is mainly due to the Eight Banners of North Korea as a side-by-side view, otherwise if you don't get it right, you will lose, at most rely on Yang Xin to ensure that you will not be annihilated by others, if there is no Yang Xin, then this cross-sea expedition will be a fiasco.

To put it bluntly, Eight Banners North Korea was frightened by Yang Xin's violent painting style.

In addition, the generals have ghosts in their hearts, thinking of killing Mang Gurtai and then weakening Jiannu, after all, the more blood is shed in Manchuria, the more the North Korean generals of the Eight Banners have a say in this system.

Alliance!

That's how they pit each other.

Anyway, Jiannu also used them as cannon fodder.

That night, the dead horses and the wine brought by the navy drank a celebratory wine with the bonfire burning in Zhenjiang City, and the next day Yang Baishi set up a table in the city where the fire was extinguished, and the downstream ships brought boxes of silver overnight, and then began to hand out silver to the heads who had handed in.

So the armies were jubilant again.

After the reward was issued, the army silver was issued, and it was said that Yang Xin brought 300,000 taels of silver.

There are 100,000 yuan in this that were originally given to Mao Wenlong by the Apocalypse, as for the first-level silver reward, Yang Xin issued it in advance instead of the Ministry of War, and he went back to the Ministry of War to ask for it, anyway, Sun Chengzong didn't dare to ask him for a gift, and the main person in charge of this in the Ministry of War was Sun Chuanting.

After the money was distributed, he took a break for a while.

In the afternoon of the next day, the Manchurian cavalry of the Eight Banners, which had arrived from Sanyang, but after meeting with the few remnants of the soldiers who had taken refuge in the mountains and forests, they knew that Mang Gurtai had been completely annihilated, especially after knowing that the army under the personal command of Yang Xin immediately gave up the counterattack and withdrew to Fengcheng overnight. After receiving reinforcements from other places, the Eight Banners Korea continued to garrison 10,000 troops on Weihua Island to prevent the Ming army from continuing to move north along the Yalu River, but it was symbolic, in fact, they sent people to sneak over that night to show their intentions.

If the Ming army continued north, they would have made way with a crushing defeat.

But the children and grandchildren of several of their generals are all in Hetuala, and they dare not return to the Ming Dynasty, so they must ask Yang for forgiveness for this.

Anyway, that's it.

Yang Xin also told him frankly that the Ming Dynasty was just crusading against Jiannu, and if they didn't find their own death, Yang Xin would not be interested in dealing with them, in short, the two sides reached a secret agreement in this way, and the more than 10,000 horses of the Eight Banners Korea east of the Yalu River would continue to watch from the sidelines in this war.

You can even start a business in the future.

In addition to grain and munitions, all other tea, silk, and cotton cloth are all fine.

On the third day, the Ming army continued its offensive.

But it's not Fengcheng.

"This drama is real or fake!"

At the foot of Tiger Mountain, Yang Xin looked at the Eight Banners of North Korea on Weihua Island.

The infantry attack corps formed by the Dangkou Army and the New Army landed on Weihua Island and attacked the newly established camp of the Eight Banners Korea, which bravely lined up to meet them, and then under the bombardment of the Ming army's Hongyi artillery, more than 10,000 Eight Banners Korea instantly collapsed, swarming to the shore to scramble for ferries and flee to Uiju.

There are also those who simply go into the water to swim.

Anyway, the Yalu River is like this, and these guys probably swim around a lot on weekdays.

"Yang Yanshi, these guys are not stupid, they are also cannon fodder with wild boar skin, not to mention that they have a deeper hatred with wild boar skin, the wild boar skin crusade in the winter of last year, all the way to the south of Pyongyang, slaughtering countless cities along the way, the whole Pyongyang is almost no one here. These are actually those northern Korean families who can't beat Jiannu and are reluctant to their own territory, but if you really want to say it, they hate wild boar skins more, that is, they see that there are few people coming from us, and they are afraid that we will attack and retreat, so they don't dare to really surrender.

They are afraid that we will take revenge after we have gone.

If we landed 350,000 horses and really put on a posture of recovering this area, they would not hesitate to defect. ”

Shen Shikui said.

He was very familiar with the area.

"Restore this area?"

Yang Xin said.

"In fact, if we go north this time and bring back all our people from the north, plus these Koreans, it is enough to hold on here, that is, the money and food of the imperial court need to be supplied."

Shen Shikui said cautiously.

He and Mao Wenlong really want to restore their homes here.

However, this place is not self-sufficient, the mountains lack arable land, and it is impossible to gain a foothold without sufficient external supplies, and in the past, this area relied on trade, trade with Korea, and trade with the Jurchen tribes from the upper reaches of the Yalu River, who brought all kinds of mountain goods, and the merchants here resold the interior to buy grain.

That's how survival is here.

"I'll think about it!"

Yang Xin said.

With that, he boarded the dhow that was waiting next to him.

"Let's go!"

He said.

The sailors next to him immediately raised their sails, and the slender flat-bottomed river boat moved lightly on the wide river surface, propelled by the southeast wind.

Yang Shishi stood on the bow of the ship, hunting in the wind in a newly changed flying fish suit, Shen Shikui stood on the side with the handle of the knife, and a total of twenty soldiers, including the boatmen, were busy behind, and then ......

And then there was nothing.

This is all the men and horses of this round of attack of the Ming army.

As for the target of their attack......

In the afternoon, Changdian Fort.

Yang Xin stood in front of the gate of Changdian Fort with the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in his hand, looking at the one hundred and ten soldiers of the Eight Banners on the city wall, who were also looking at him with trembling.

Yang Xin beckoned.

Two soldiers stepped forward with a box and opened the lid.

"I don't want to waste my time, you should already know who I am, I give you two choices, the first is to kill the Jiannu in the city, come out to get this box of silver, and then everyone will set up a raft and go to Zhenjiang to find Mao Wenlong, you will follow Mao Wenlong in the future, he has enough food there, I just shipped 20,000 stone of rice, and there are still 200,000 stone in Dengzhou City behind waiting to be transported.

Second.

That's when I'm going to go in and kill you all!" ”

Yang Xin stood by the box and yelled in Korean.

"Don't listen to him, the Great Khan's reinforcements will arrive soon!"

An officer who was supposed to be a Jiannu shouted with a knife.

Then a knife tip came out of his chest, and he turned back to look back at his subordinates behind him, who viciously stirred the knife in his body, and then pushed his back and slammed forward, and then the Jiannu warrior fell directly from the city wall with an unwilling scream, and fell to the ground like a dead dog. Almost at the same time, all the Korean soldiers on the city wall made a move, and a few Jiannu in total were beheaded in a blink of an eye, and the first to do it nodded to Yang Xin, and then quickly ran down and opened the city gate.

"Little Jin Cheng has seen the general!"

He knelt down in front of Yang Xin and shouted.

"The silver belongs to you and your brothers, and all the people in the city, whether men, women, or children, will be evacuated to Zhenjiang City to find Mao Wenlong, and then find thirty horses for me!"

Yang Xin said.

"Little Order!"

Jin Cheng said without hesitation.

"You're so happy!"

Yang Xin said unexpectedly.

"Well, the whole family of the little one was killed by the Hu people, but there is no way to follow the Hu people, now that I can have the opportunity to work for the Ming Dynasty, of course I can't miss it, and it is also a small blessing to be able to be a dog for the Ming Dynasty in the future!"

Jin Cheng said.

"Go ahead, tell Mao Wenlong, and say that I will let him reward you with a thousand households, and you will be the official army of the Ming Dynasty in the future."

Yang Xin said.

Jin Cheng hurriedly lay there and thanked him.

Then this place will be handed over to him, in fact, Changdian Fort does not have much population, a total of a few hundred households, the vast majority of which are still Han Chinese, there is nothing unhappy about leaving here, although many families have young and strong people who were captured by Jiannu as cannon fodder, but for the old and weak women and children behind, this is also out of the sea of suffering, and the rest is nothing more than to pack all the things that can be taken away and then raft down the river.

Yang Xin's expeditionary force of twenty men continued to advance.

Half an hour later he appeared at Yongdian Fort, and before he could shout, the Han Chinese and the North Koreans inside started to move, and then opened the city gate to meet him, but he still rewarded a box of silver to the three hundred households inside, and also ordered the latter to pack up their belongings and build a raft to Zhenjiang City.

Then there is the Great Dian Castle.

Again, without waiting for him to shout, the people inside opened the city gates.

also sent a box of silver, and then packed up his belongings and retreated to Zhenjiang City

In this way, Yang Yanshi can be said to be like a bamboo, less than four hours to connect the three forts, when the sun sets, he has already stood in the core of this area, in front of the gate of Kuanden Fort, and there are still only Shen Shikui and more than a dozen soldiers around him.

And, of course, silver.
