The advantage of the combined arms of the mighty army is that it can be integrated into group operations, or it can be split into scattered detachments, which can be split and divided.

As soon as the Jiannu infantry on the periphery encountered the infantry of the mighty army, they were accurately shot by the firearms with flintlock guns, and some Jiannu cavalry were naturally unwilling to be shot, so they rushed directly, but as soon as they rushed in, they were attacked by a combination of firearms, steel knives, and spears, and then these Jiannu cavalry were either killed by firearms soldiers or stabbed by spears or slashed with steel knives or could only retreat helplessly.

But.

As soon as he saw Lu Xiangsheng rushing with 3,000 cavalry, he immediately ordered 2,000 iron cavalry of the Han Eight Banners to go forward to stop him, while he himself quickly evacuated with more than 300 Manchurian cavalry and some Mongolian Eight Banner iron cavalry.

However, due to Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army chasing closely, this Mandahai department gradually turned into a rout and retreated, and there was no order.

As for some of the Jiannu rangers who remained outside the Jingshi City and the Han Eight Banner Iron Cavalry who were responsible for blocking them, they were defeated by the mighty army.

At the same time, the cavalry company of the mighty army also rushed over to pursue Jiannu.

The situation on the entire battlefield was reversed in an instant.

Man Dahai only withdrew with more than a thousand Jiannu iron horsemen.

And when Lu Xiangsheng came back with the Tianxiong Army and the Weiwu Army Cavalry Company, it was already late afternoon that day.

Zhu Youzhen, who was standing on the city wall, also stopped beating the drum, and when he saw his officers and soldiers repelling Jiannu and returning victorious, he also laughed heartily.

Lu Yuan also began to gather troops here, and the medical guards began to carry the casualties of the mighty army field soldiers back to the camp, and the field soldiers of the propaganda team also began to go everywhere to offer condolences.

The recruits in the battalion are responsible for cutting off the heads of the slaves and exercising their courage.

However, the mighty army only cut off the heads of the Jiannu around the city wall, and the outer ones were given to Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army, after all, the combat operation to pursue Mandahai was completed by the Tianxiong army.

Even so.

There are still more than 400 heads cut by the mighty army, far more than the more than 100 Jiannu heads harvested by the Tianxiong army.

Lu Yuan continued to be responsible for defending the city with a mighty army.

And at this time.

Lu Xiangsheng took the Xuanhua soldiers and began to camp in Yongdingmen.

Lu Xiangsheng took a glance at the mighty army of Wengcheng, and when he first came here, he saw the mighty army fighting fiercely with Jiannu.

This had surprised him very much, he didn't expect that in addition to his own Xuanhua soldiers, there were also strong troops who dared to fight with Jiannu outside the city.

What surprised him even more was that Lu Xiangsheng didn't expect that the number of this Qinwang army seemed to be small, about 1,000 people, but it had already beaten Jiannu beyond the power to parry, and even countless corpses had been lost.

Lu Xiangsheng had to admit that the good situation of the Qinwang soldiers on the other side who fought fiercely with Jiannu before his arrival gave him more confidence to dare to attack Jiannu's five thousand iron cavalry as soon as he came.

Now, after Jiannu retreated, Lu Xiangsheng was naturally very interested in the mighty army.

Therefore, after Lu Xiangsheng set up camp, he couldn't help but ask himself the chief soldier Yang Guozhu: "Are you familiar with the soldiers of King Qin opposite?" ”

"I don't know the last general, maybe it's Guan Ningbing."

Yang Guozhu replied.

Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything more.

Lu Yuan was also looking at Lu Xiangsheng's Xuanhua soldiers at this time, he still knew about Lu Xiangsheng, and knew that although this person was a civilian official in the late Ming Dynasty, he was a fierce general, and he was a civilian official of the main battle faction, and he opposed to negotiating peace with Jiannu.

Lu Yuan remembered that Lu Xiangsheng was killed in Julu Jiazhuang in this battle of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

It's just that Lu Yuan doesn't know if Lu Xiangsheng will still end like this with the intervention of his traveler this time.

It didn't take long.

Emperor Chongzhen sent eunuchs to summon Lu Xiangsheng and Lu Yuan to the palace for an audience.

Zhu Youzhen saw Lu Xiangsheng, while Lu Yuan waited in the court room first.

And then.

Zhu Youzhen saw Lu Yuan and said some words of encouragement, but did not directly ask Lu Yuan what he thought of the current situation, after all, Lu Yuan is still only a battalion commander.

In Zhu Youzhen's eyes, Lu Yuan is naturally not a handsome person who can command the world's soldiers and horses, not to mention, the Ming Dynasty is noble and cheap, and it is impossible for him to let Lu Yuan participate in the military aircraft.

However, Zhu Youzhen still gave Lu Yuan an additional 500 taels of gold and 100 brocades with internal funds in recognition of Lu Yuan's efforts to repel the 5,000 iron cavalry of Jiannu.

However, Lu Yuan didn't want to denounce the evils of the world in Zhu Youzhen, telling him that the Ming Dynasty only had six years of national fortune, and he believed that if he said so now, Zhu Youzhen would not only not believe him but also kill him.

Therefore, for Lu Yuan, it is enough to get rewards such as gold and silver brocade from the imperial court.

This time, Zhu Youzhen's reward plus the reward silver obtained by offering the head rank is already a lot of wealth, which is enough to make up for Lu Yuan's battle losses in this northbound Qin Wang.

Besides.

Lu Yuan was also quickly discussed by the Ministry of War, and his official rank was promoted from the deputy thousand households of the fifth rank to the commander of the guard of the fourth rank, and the rank of battalion officer was promoted to the commander of the capital.

The most important thing in this is that the battalion officer was promoted to the capital division.

According to the order of official positions in the battalion system, the lowest is the army commander, and then they are the chief, the general, the sentinel, the thousand general, the garrison, the capital division, the guerrilla, the general, the deputy commander-in-chief, and the chief officer.

And Lu Yuan's promotion to the capital division now means that he has been promoted two levels in a row because of two consecutive meritorious services, and he has become the capital division, and he can directly manage more than 3,000 battalions.

……

"Defeated?"

Zhuozhou, the camp of the Qing army.

Dolgon looked at Man Dahai in surprise, showing an incredible look, this time Man Dahai brought five thousand iron horses, which was more than twice the more than two thousand iron cavalry of Chang Adai's troops, who were responsible for collecting food near Wuqing City last time, and it was not like the first time he did not understand this Ming army and underestimated the enemy, and even brought three Manchurian Niulu, but what Dolgon didn't expect was that his Qing army was still defeated by this Ming army.

Man Dahai himself was also very annoyed and said: "Back to the prince, the minions didn't expect this Ming army to be so good at fighting, they are not only sharp in firearms, but also very fearless of death, and more importantly, they are very disciplined, and the Qi family army that fought with us in the Hunhe River is somewhat similar, but they seem to be stronger, the minions can see that there is hatred in their eyes, and it seems that seeing us Jiannu is like seeing a mortal enemy." ”

"It's useless! With him, there are only more than 1,000 people, you only work hard, why can't you win. ”

Du Du first reprimanded his own son, Manda Hailai.

Man Dahai explained again: "The minions didn't dare to lose all the Manchurian Niulu they brought, so they didn't dare to fight again, and later Lu Xiangsheng's Xuanda soldiers also rushed over, and there seemed to be a lot of soldiers and horses in the city, and the battle flag covered the sky, so the minions had to retreat, but they never wanted to turn into a rout and flee." ”。

Du Du was about to say more, but Yue Tuo glanced at Du Du at this time, stopped him, and said to Dolgon: "Fourteenth uncle, it seems that this Ming army is not simple, we can't ignore it, we should immediately let us inquire in the details of the Ming Kingdom, who this Ming army is, if necessary, we should get rid of it as soon as possible." ”

Dolgon also nodded: "What you said is true, but at the moment, what is more critical for us is to conquer Zhuozhou immediately!" While Lu Xiangsheng and the Ming army were still in the capital, they immediately went south to Baoding to get food! ”
