Wang Zhaokun was shocked by the combat effectiveness of the "Red Banner Army", he didn't care about the indifference of the fool at this time, and took the initiative to step forward and say:

"Lord Yang, this official may not know the taste of meat for a long time, I don't know if I can bother here?"

Han Zile said: "Lord Wang can follow Lord Tiger out of the city, it can be seen that he is a good official with responsibility, as long as you don't sit on the ground and sit on the bonfire to barbecue meat and eat dirty, this official is willing to toast you, please!" ”

Wang Zhaokun said again: "Lord Yang, this official has a reluctant request, can you ask your army to give up some dead horses?" The official wanted people to be sent back to Ningwuguan. The customs are about to run out of food, and the people's hearts are unstable, and sending back tens of thousands of catties of horse meat at this time will definitely be able to boost the morale of the army and the people. ”

Hearing this, Hanzi began to look at Wang Zhaokun squarely, and readily agreed:

"Yes, Lord Wang can arrange for the people to transport 500 dead horses back to Ningwu Pass, let the soldiers and civilians get a few taels of meat to eat, and tell the soldiers and civilians defending the city that they will definitely be able to seize a lot of grain if they take Yangfang Fort tomorrow, and since the 'Red Flag Army' is here, the tragedy of the soldiers and civilians starving to death will not happen."

These words were righteous, Wang Zhaokun and Meng Ruhu immediately stood up and bowed to the ground, and Hanzi hurriedly helped the two of them up, and said: "Of course the two of you can't do this, this official is just doing his duty." ”

Wang Zhaokun said with emotion: "The 'Red Flag Army' is worthy of its name, and this official will play the court tonight to praise Lord Yang!" ”

Several people drank wine and ate meat around the bonfire, and it didn't take long for the estrangement to be reduced, and after Wang Zhaokun learned of the deployment of the general of the expedition, he took the initiative to invite Hanzi to lead the men and horses into Ningwu Pass.

And said that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, after the "Red Flag Army" takes Yangfang Fort, he will actively organize the military and civilians to rush to repair this section of the Great Wall that was demolished by the Qing army.

Hanzi had a good impression of Wang Zhaokun, he was originally a real person, and seeing that he was so cooperative, he simply generously asked him to write the good news of this battle and sent someone to play the court quickly.

Knowing that Yang Dalang was a good intention, he deliberately brought his own share of the credit, Wang Zhaokun was overjoyed, and even more misbehaved as a civil official, so he gave a gift to express his gratitude.

There are already a small half of the defenders in Yangfang Fort, less than 1,300 men and horses, and less than 2,000 Qiding and Baoyi minions.

In the afternoon of the next day, Yang Jian and Fang Liandong led 20,000 horses to Yangfang Fort.

They were in high spirits, and they didn't even do repairs, and directly put the artillery under the pressure of the cavalry brothers.

After three rounds of artillery fire, Yang Jian led the Minnie gunners to shoot accurately, covering the cover house, Lian Zhuang, and personally led the infantry to capture the city, which was simply devastating, and took this castle less than a mile in less than half an hour.

Wang Zhaokun and fierce tigers, who were watching the battle, as well as many generals who had been trapped in the city in Ningwu Pass, witnessed the "Red Banner Army's" infantry and artillery coordinated attack, and they were stunned one by one.

Yesterday's field battle was against the Qing army, and the casualty ratio of the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" was one to five.

Is the "Red Banner Army" still the army of the Ming Dynasty? I have such a strong army, why are I afraid of Dongnu? It seems that in the future, we will all have to find ways to defect to the general of the conquest and fight for a bright future.

Through watching the battle, the civilian officials and generals who came from Ningwu Pass had a deep understanding, and they would not talk about any regulations that did not allow guest soldiers to enter the customs, and now they are looking forward to fighting jointly with the "Red Banner Army."

The Qing soldiers stationed in Yangfang Fort were defeated yesterday, but in fact, they had no fighting spirit, and they knew that more than half of the men and horses would not be able to hold Yangfang Fort.

They had illusions and did not want to provoke the Ming army to rush to exterminate the city after breaking the city, so they did not dare to carry out a massacre, and five or six thousand Han people in Yangfang Fort were rescued.

The Qing army did not dare to burn the city, and the "Red Banner Army" was able to seize a lot of materials, including more than 15,000 stone of grain.

The Han Zi reciprocated the favor, and the more than 400 captured Qing troops also left their lives.

Then the bad Sang Yu released more than 200 wounded Qing soldiers, and clearly told these people that the reason why they were forgiven by the "Red Banner Army" was because they did not massacre the thousands of Han people who were held hostage in Yangfang Fort.

These wounded people have to be treated and treated, so why not release them?

These people basically lost their combat effectiveness, and they were embarrassed to be of great use when they returned, but many Qing troops learned through their mouths that the "Red Flag Army" could also be wiped out without rushing out, and as long as the Qing army did not deliberately slaughter the city, the "Red Flag Army" would also accept surrender.

In fact, this is the content of Huang Han's speech when he organized the study of officers at or above the general level before the troops were dispatched.

In order to prevent the casualties caused by Jiannu's deathly blow, and to prevent the Qing soldiers who had lost hope from carrying out retaliatory massacres in despair, the losses of the Han population were immeasurable.

Therefore, the principle and policy of simultaneous political and military offensive were stipulated, and the surrender of the Qing army was accepted, and the previous method of killing them was not adopted.

Anyway, it was just to leave these people alive, and in the future, they would be driven to work all day long as the "Red Banner Army" to create wealth, and when they crossed the ocean to colonize, they could also take these people to become the first batch of immigrants to reclaim and build fortresses.

Often to establish a new territory, the first to come is the most difficult, because from scratch is a long process, without the efforts of the pioneers, how can there be cities, ports, warehouses and fertile land?

The 3,000 Qing soldiers stationed in the garrison have looted more gold, silver, treasures and grain than the "Red Banner Army" in the past six months, and the total value of property and precious metals has exceeded 300,000 taels of silver.

Because it was a battle to seize the city, the losses of the war horses of Jiannu and Tartar were limited, and the Ming army captured more than 3,000 horses, including more than 2,000 middle and upper class war horses.

The men and horses of Ningwuguan did not get military merits, and they have been following the "Red Flag Army" to do chores, but these people have no complaints, because Ningwuguan has long been rationed because of the shortage of food, and there are only two meals a day.

Fighting with the "Red Banner Army" does not require them to charge into battle, only they need to do logistics, they can eat three meals a day, and they have horse meat pipes to eat for three consecutive days, and no one is unwilling.

On the second day after taking Yangfang Fort, the rescued Han people and the Han people found nearby, as well as more than 200 Tartars and Jiannu prisoners, repaired the Great Wall under the command of hundreds of "Red Banner Army" engineers, and more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians from Ningwuguan brought by Wang Zhaokun also spared no effort to work.

Because of Wang Zhaokun's good attitude, Hanzi looked at it pleasing to the eye, and the good news of seizing Yangfang Fort still let him watch it.

With such a good thing, Wang Zhaokun knew that he would be promoted soon, and as for what kind of promotion, it was still unknown, and it was possible to even be promoted to the third level.

Of course, Wang Zhaokun worked harder, and he decided to continue to follow the "Red Flag Army", and he was sure that he would share more credit.

Yang Dalang didn't need to fight for power and profit, and after the two wars, the civil and military generals and eunuchs of Ningwuguan were all convinced.
