Chapter 156: Great Victory
Qingshui Riverside.
The ecstatic Ming army waved the weapons in his hands, and the cheers shook the wilderness, "General! "General, mighty!" and so on. Last night I thought it was on the verge of a desperate situation, but this morning it ushered in a big victory, except for some Mongolian cavalry who did not know the current affairs were killed, and some jumped into the raging Qingshui River and did not know what to do, the rest of the Mongolian army was on this battlefield, but some people could no longer stand up and slept in this blood-stained land......
After the victory, Fu Youde was not as ecstatic as everyone imagined, he took a deep breath of the fresh air on the prairie, took a look at the battlefield where the smoke cleared, and ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, rip off the armor of the Mongolian soldiers and pile them together, set them on fire, and the soldiers, armor, bows and arrows, and sabers accumulated by the Uliangha tribe for many years have been swept away.
Harguchuk followed the Ming army into Fu Youde's big tent with a blank expression, he had not yet recovered from the shock of the loss of 30,000 armor soldiers in one day, so he answered Fu Youde's question without saying anything. When Fu Youde felt that there was nothing to ask, he asked the sergeant to take him down.
Kharguchuk was held in a small tent, which was clean, but there was nothing but a bed. Lying on the cot, Halguchuk stroked the auspicious knot on his chest, which was made by Hong Gaowa herself, wishing him peace and happiness; Thinking of her gentle and affectionate face at that time, and remembering her idea of giving up Hong Gaowa in danger, Halguchuk couldn't help but cover her face in shame, crying silently, it's over, it's all over, I can't go back, I can't worship Buerhan Mountain with you, I can't drink the water of the river with you, and I can't ride the grassland with you......
In the big tent, the excited generals were lined up on both sides, listening to the summary of the results of the battle with the army commander: "Generals, in this battle, our army has a total of 3,321 beheading levels, including the leader of Tainingwei, Kurabanhu, and captured 17,215 people, including the Mongolian prince Harguchuk, the great leader of the Uliang Habu, the leader of the Wuliang Habu, the leader of the Duoyanwei Ha, the head of the Fuyuwei An Zhu and Tubushenju, and other Mongolian nobles, a total of 254 people. Our army lost 4,577 killed and 2,113 wounded......"
The generals were overjoyed after hearing this, this is a rare big victory, fighting with the Mongols, it is easy to defeat, fewer are killed, and fewer prisoners are captured, this time the Uliang Habu himself died, fighting with the Ming army in a small area, but was surrounded by the counter-surrounding, and finally the whole army was annihilated.
After being excited, the veteran Tang Yun stood up and bowed his hand to Cao Yunfan, and said: "General Cao, this time I am fortunate that you arrived in time, otherwise there would not be such a big result. ”
Cao Yunfan hurriedly stood up and saluted back: "The old general has praised it falsely, these are all arrangements made by the general. ”
Well? Everyone paused for a moment and looked at Fu Youde, Li Jun stood up, bowed his hand, and bowed very respectfully, and said: "General, in this battle, I am waiting in the clouds, I hope the general can solve our doubts." ”
"Yes, General, tell me about it." "Tell me, General!" The proposals of the generals in the camp rang out in unison.
Fu Youde raised his hand, and the generals' voices stopped abruptly. Fu Youde smiled and said: "In fact, today's results are completely beyond the expectations of this general, and it is really a blessing from heaven to have such a big victory, and the emperor is blessed with great blessings." ”
Speaking of this, Fu Youde surrendered to the south at the same time, and the generals hurried to follow suit.
"In fact, when Ye Dingyuan came to report the news yesterday, General Ben was just strange and faintly suspicious, but there was no evidence to support it, what General Ben said yesterday was purely a joke, don't take it to heart, generals. But the king of Gaoyang could not help but save him, and the king could not be sure whether the goal of the Mongols was to camp or to lure our cavalry into the army. ”
"According to Ye Dingyuan's description and General Ben's speculation, it is possible that the King of Gaoyang County has escaped, or he may have been surrounded in a small area, but these can only be known when he arrives at the scene."
"General Ben led the troops to the battle, everyone may think it is very risky, but in fact, whether the enemy wants to besiege the camp or ambush us, they will let us leave safely, lest we be alarmed, return to the camp, they hope that we are as far away from the camp as possible, so as long as we are cautious, there will be no danger."
"The ones who are in danger are the King of Gaoyang County and the King of Gu and General Cao who stayed in the camp."
"When General Ben left the camp, he made an appointment with General Cao, if General Ben did not encounter the enemy, then he would send someone back to deliver the letter in two hours, and at that time it was likely that the enemy was besieging the camp, and our army would rush back at the same time to attack the enemy together."
"If General Ben doesn't send someone back after two hours, it means that General Ben has encountered enemy troops here, let him reconnoiter the surroundings, and then lead a thousand new-style Wugang cars, according to the ruts of the Wugang cars left by our army, and rush here to make peace with our army before dawn."
"General Ben and General Cao agreed to use the sound of explosions on my side as a signal, first of all, we used explosives bags to blow up the enemy's camp, joined forces with the king of Gaoyang County, and broke through the camp under the mountain."
"The enemy heard the attack at the foot of the mountain, and naturally thought that our army was fighting on two sides, so they quickly attacked our army's chariot formation, and when they were almost attacking, General Ben ordered to open the chariot formation and hit the Mongols with tiger squat artillery."
"And the sound of the explosion attracted the attention of the Mongols, and at the same time muffled the sound of General Cao's Wugang car driving, and by the time the Mongols found out, it was too late."
"The following things are simple, the Mongols are surrounded by a chariot array in a small area, there is the turbulent Qingshui River, this side is our army, we can only be captured, after all, the trapped beasts are only a few."
Speaking of this, everyone suddenly realized, and couldn't help but admire Fu Youde's ingenuity, taking advantage of the enemy's speculation and carelessness, and with a slight push, the situation was reversed.
After discussing for a while, the veteran Tang Yun stood up and said: "But if the enemy discovers General Cao's convoy in advance, our army will not be able to attack at that time, and the enemy is likely to flee, how does the general arrange this?" ”
Fu Youde laughed and said with a rare smile this time: "General Tang asked well, in fact, General Ben does not have any arrangements, our army does not have an advantage in strength, and cannot encircle the opponent, if the enemy discovers General Cao first and realizes the danger of being surrounded, they will inevitably escape, then our army can rescue the king of Gaoyang County and come out of this narrow valley." Today's results are also beyond the expectations of General Ben. I thought it was a draw situation, but I didn't expect it to be a big win. Speaking of this, Fu Youde, who has been in the war for a long time, couldn't help laughing.
The generals also felt very lucky and had more confidence in their future.
In the afternoon, the king of Gu led the army left behind in the camp to meet Fu Youde, and after discussion, it was decided that Fu Youde would lead the army to continue north, and the king of Gaoyang County would lead 3,000 cavalry and 300 Wugang chariots to escort the captured Wuliangha tribes back to Kaiping, waiting for the imperial court to dispose of it, and at the same time send a report to the imperial court.
Zhu Gaoxu was reluctant to accept this task, but his injuries had not healed, and although he won a big victory this time, most of the casualties were caused by his subordinates. In addition, the battle started because of him, although he won in the end, but the generals were a little afraid when they thought about it, so all the generals supported this decision, of course, the reason was that the king of the county had worked hard and had not recovered from serious injuries, and it was better to return to the rear to recuperate as soon as possible. In the end, under the persuasion of King Gu, Zhu Gaoxu had to return south with his army.
When the newspaper passed through Beiping, Zhu Di read it and began to be overjoyed, and then he was furious and scolded: "Fool, you actually lost 5,000 of my elite soldiers!" As he spoke, he smashed his fist on the table, waved his hand, swept the pen, ink and paper on the table to the ground, and was still angry, and overturned the entire table to the ground, and the room was in a mess, clanging and clanging. When the eunuch who served saw Zhu Di's panting, he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, and hurriedly went to invite Princess Xu......
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang was overjoyed after receiving the good news document, and ordered the good news to be spread to the world, and the Beijing division celebrated and rewarded the meritorious soldiers; The king of Yan was ordered to send people to escort the three leaders and nobles of Wuliangha into Beijing, and the captured people moved to the interior for resettlement, among which those who were good at raising horses moved to Hetao Horse Farm and Liaodong Horse Farm, some of them moved to Suiyuan to build a city, and other people moved to the northwest and southwest to resettle.
In the end, he ordered Yang Wen to send troops from Shenyang to sweep away the Wuliangha tribes and move them to Tuntian, Hetao.
For a time, the gloom of the imperial court was gone, and the weather was new.
