Mo Li was stunned for a moment, he killed Liu Tianlu last year, and he was almost killed by Zu Dashou, if it wasn't for Yuan Chonghuan being killed, Zu Dashou and He Kegang ordered him to protect Yuan Chengzhi, it is estimated that he has now become a pile of white bones.

Zu Dashou is the chief military officer of the Liaodong forward, and he is the general who guards one side, and it is indeed not something that he can deal with by a small general soldier of suppressing bandits, even if he violates the law of the country, he can only detain him and report to the court, but he has no power to behead him.

But if you don't kill Zu Dashou, how can you be worthy of the tragic death? How to give an explanation to He Kegang's subordinates?

Besides, he has already killed one Wu Xiang, and he doesn't care about killing one more Zu Dashou!

Zu Dashou not only did not hesitate to kill He Kegang in order to surrender to the Tartars, although he did not kill it himself, but it was also his son's hand, he knew that after Zu Zeqing drugged He Kegang, instead of punishing Zu Zeqing, he immediately decided to send his son and younger brother to surrender to Huang Taiji.

What's more, just when he led his troops to fight hard against the Tartars, his ancestor Dashou, Wu Xiang and others actually sent someone to capture his wife Liang Peijun to flatter Dolgon in order to protect themselves and surrender to the Tartars, which was really unbearable.

Killing one is also killing, killing two is also killing, after killing Wu Xiang, the court will also be accountable, and now that Zu Dashou's son and brother-in-law have been killed, the power of Zu Dashou's family will be greatly weakened, but if the grass is not eradicated, it will inevitably retaliate in the future.

At that time, if the court is to blame, as long as he does not pull up the anti-flag, it is expected that the princes above the court will not be able to help me. Take 10,000 steps back, now that he is strong and strong, and he is stationed at the border, Chongzhen is afraid and doesn't dare to stimulate himself too much, otherwise he will be so scared that Chongzhen will pee his crotch.

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared at the corner of Mo Li's mouth, and said: "General Zhang, Liu Tianlu colluded with the Tartars, so damn it, Zu Dashou surrendered to the Tartars and killed General He, wouldn't he even more deserve to go to hell?!" ”

After saying that, Mo Li rode his horse and raised his sword, and rushed straight towards Zu Dashou. Zhang Cunren raised his sword to block, but was swept away by Mo Li's sword, and then the blade turned, and his backhand slashed towards Zu Dashou.

Zu Dashou raised his sword to greet him, but he was old, coupled with his lack of strength, his mind was restricted, and he only heard a loud sound, and Zu Dashou's sword was knocked to the ground by Mo Li.

Mo Li didn't hesitate, and the blade slashed towards Zu Dashou's head, fast and fierce. Zu Dashou couldn't dodge, and suddenly he didn't even have time to scream, and his entire head was cut off to the ground, rolling out for several feet, and blood splattered all over the ground.

"Moli! You! ......" Zhang Cunren was stunned, opened his mouth wide and didn't know what to say, the whole person was like stunned, standing still in a daze.

Zu Dale howled miserably: "Big brother! Then he brandished the saber in his hand and rushed towards Moli.

At this time, He Zhenbei, Bai Zhicheng, Xiao Yang, Li Guo and others also recovered from the shock and hurriedly rushed out to intercept Zu Dale. How could Zu Dale be an opponent, and it didn't take long for him to be killed by the four of them.

The rest of the ancestral soldiers saw that Zu Dashou's father, son and brother were all ambushed on the spot, and they were all shocked, knowing that the general trend had gone and there was no hope of breaking through, they knelt in a hula at the moment, and kowtowed again and again to beg for mercy.

These people are ordinary soldiers, there is nothing evil in themselves, and Mo Li is not a murderous person, so he asked people to confiscate their weapons at the moment, and then take them into custody, and deal with them after the situation is stabilized.

Mo Li also ordered people to collect the corpses of Zu Dashou's father and son, clean up the battlefield, maintain order, and strictly guard the city walls to prevent the Tartars from coming back.

Then, Mo Li asked people to lead troops to control the soldiers in the Zu Dashou barracks, disarm all of them, and then concentrate on them. Although they are now so hungry that they are almost incapacitated, they must not be too careless until the danger is ruled out.

After arranging all this, Mo Li was about to return to the big tent, Bai Zhicheng, Xiao Yang, Sima Jian and other He Kegang's cronies and subordinates suddenly knelt down in unison, burst into tears with excitement, and said in unison: "General Mo, General He was killed by the ancestral thief, fortunately General Mo helped him with righteousness, why did the general take revenge, we thank General Mo for his righteous act!" Please wait for me! ”

The subordinates behind them also knelt down in unison at this time, and said in unison: "I'll wait for General Xie Mo to lend a hand!" ”

Mo Li was stunned at first, and then he was quite moved, and said, "The brothers are too outward! Hurry up! ”

Xiao Yang said excitedly: "General Mo, now that the ancestral thief has surrendered to the law, and we are no longer under the control of such thieves, the last general is willing to lead the people to join General Mo's account, saddle up before and after the horse, and guard the frontier!" ”

Bai Zhicheng, Sima Jian and others and their subordinate soldiers also said in unison: "We are willing to take the general's horse as a guide, saddle before and after the horse, and be willing to drive!" ”

He Kegang has a very high prestige in the army, and his subordinates are very respectful and loved, and now He Kegang died innocently and tragically, it was Mo Li who was not afraid of power and was not afraid of being implicated in the execution of He Kegang's ancestral family, and avenged the Chinese army general in their minds, in the eyes of their subordinates, Mo Li is a good man with a warm blood and a bold spirit, a good general, they are grateful to him and trust him.

Mo Li was greatly moved, and said loudly: "Brothers! Thank you for your kindness! Good! We will talk about this later, now we must first control the soldiers under the ancestral shou's tent, and build the city gate and city walls, and we must not let the Tartars enter again! ”

So, everyone took action to control their ancestors, clean up the battlefield, build the city wall, and was very busy.

Guan Feng, Du Geng, Ma Jinzhong, Cao Bianjiao and others led their troops to pursue the Jin soldiers, and chased them out for more than 20 miles.

Due to the haste and panic of the retreat, the red-clothed cannons of the Jin soldiers here did not have time to pull them away, and the Ming army pulled them all back to Dalinghe City, which greatly enhanced the city's fire resistance.

In addition, countless armor battles, swords, guns, bows and arrows, and about 1,000 war horses were captured.

In this battle, many soldiers were killed on both sides, and there were broken corpses everywhere inside and outside the city, especially in the places that had been bombarded by red-clothed cannons, and the corpses of the people and horses killed in the battle were even more fragmented, and many of them could not be put back to their original shape.

After the war, the Ming army killed more than 13,000 people and wounded nearly 20,000, including the defenders of the original Dalinghe City.

Later, because it was evacuated in a hurry, the corpses of the soldiers killed in the battle did not have time to be taken away, and some seriously injured soldiers were not taken away, and all of them were killed by the Ming army. Originally, the Jurchens did not have the habit of abandoning the corpses of their companions, but at that time, because they were basically the victors on the battlefield before, but now they are fleeing in the wilderness, and the effort to escape is not enough, where is there time to clean up the corpses?

Judging from the corpses of Jin Bing left on the battlefield, the total number of soldiers killed by Jin Bing in this battle was more than 11,000, which can basically be regarded as a draw.

After Mo Li settled Liang Peijun to recuperate from his injuries, he immediately led the generals to patrol around the city to check the results.

When Dolgon withdrew, he sent someone to inform Huang Taiji of the situation in the city, and Huang Taiji saw that the general situation had gone, so he had no choice but to lead his army to retreat. At this time, after Cao Wenzhao ordered people to clean up the battlefield, he took Zhou Yuji and others back to the city to report the battle situation to Mo Li.

Seeing Cao Wenzhao near the North City Gate, the two chatted while walking. At this time, Cao Bianjiao came over and reported: "General, what to do with the corpses of those Tartars?" ”

"Let's build a Kyoto view! We must make the Tartars terrified when they see us in the future! Moli said.

Cao Bianjiao nodded, and was about to turn around and walk to convey the order, when Cao Wenzhao suddenly said, "Wait." ”

Cao Wenzhao turned his head to Mo Li and said: "General, the last general thinks that these Tartars are still pickled in lime, and it is better to send them to the military department as soon as possible to report their merits, although it is now beginning to autumn, but the weather is abnormal in the past few days, and there are torrential rains from time to time like yesterday, if the level and corpse of this Tartar are not dealt with in time, I am afraid that it will be easy to fester, and it is easy to breed plague!" ”

Mo Li was shocked, how could he forget this stubble? At this time in the late Ming Dynasty, because of the war, there were many deaths, and the outbreak of plague was a common thing, and I also noticed this problem when I was in Lingchuan City and Hequ, and I forgot about it for a while because I was too excited.

Cao Wenzhao continued: "General, now that the Jingguan has also been built, the purpose of deterring the Tartars can be regarded as having been achieved, and the withdrawal of the Tartars is estimated to not come again for a while and a half, and the last general guesses that they should collect their troops and return to Shenyang." Therefore, the last general thought that this Jingguan could no longer be built. ”

Mo Li nodded and said, "What General Cao said is very reasonable!" You see, my excitement is not good! Okay, then according to General Cao's opinion, let people send the Tartar rank to the Beijing Division to repay the brothers! ”

Cao Wenzhao hesitated for a moment and said: "General, you killed two chief military officers in a row this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the court to explain!" Now the total number of these Tartars is 20,000, which has never been seen in the history of the Mingjin War! An unprecedented victory! Therefore, if this level is sent to the Beijing Division to report the merits, it can somewhat dilute the impact of killing the two chief officers. ”

Mo Li nodded silently, he also knew that killing Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou this time was both a big opportunity and a big risk. The opportunity is that two of the four major general soldiers in Liaodong have died, and now there is basically no other military force in Liaodong, only their own soldiers and horses are the most powerful, and it is very hopeful that they will stay in Liaodong to guard the border passes, govern Liaodong, and prepare for the elimination of the Tartars in the future.

And the risk is naturally very simple, if the imperial court wants to investigate the fault of killing the two chief military officers of Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, this matter can also be big or small, if someone in the imperial court wants to rectify themselves, they can use this matter to relieve themselves of military power, and even ask for guilt and go to prison, it is not impossible.
