Chapter 63: Success
Although Luo Li carried out a counterattack, but was not carried away by the victory, after leading the army to chase and kill for a while, after driving a large number of Jiannu routs away from the city, seeing that there were two battalions of Jiannu cavalry trying to intercept them, they took the initiative to give up the pursuit, and after showing off their strength outside the pass, the swaggering leader slowly retreated to Xiluo City.
And Azig and Duoduo saw that this torture thief was so arrogant, but they also knew that the morale of the soldiers and horses under their command was extremely low, and after receiving those defeated soldiers and horses, they did not dare to make any offensive moves against the pursuing army led by Luo Li, but pulled the reins from afar, and watched Luo Li lead his troops to show off their strength in front of them, and then slowly withdrew to Xiluo City, and then they led their troops back to their camp in frustration.
The loser on the battlefield has no right to clean the battlefield, the control of the battlefield only belongs to the victorious side, so as the loser, the loss is far more than the winning side is a theorem, Jiannu suffered this big defeat, fart did not dare to put it again, then fled back with the tail in the dust, a large number of wounded soldiers and slave soldiers were thrown into the battlefield under the gate, and at the same time abandoned a large number of turrets, ladders, goose carts, trenches and other siege equipment and even some artillery, weapons, armor, etc., in short, the Jiannu army was defeated too badly this time, Almost half of everything that came out and brought it was lost to the Great Chinese Army.
When Luo Li led his troops to retreat, of course, he would not be polite, looking at the late day, he led the troops to sit in the pass, and transferred soldiers and horses overnight and a large number of people to help the war, and even the Ming army under the command of Wu Xiang also came out in large numbers, and began to clean up the battlefield with torches, they set fire to all the siege equipment abandoned by Jiannu on the battlefield, put away weapons, armor, artillery and other things, and transported them back to the pass, and the soldiers cut off the heads of the corpses of those Jiannu soldiers outside the pass, and the lightly injured Jiannu stripped naked and tied back, Seriously injured are disposed of as corpses and their heads are chopped off.
As for the Jiannu army, although Dolgon gritted his teeth, watching from a distance the side of the Dazhong Army cleaning the battlefield under the pass, but he did not dare to allow his generals to ask for battle, and sent them to attack and disturb the actions of the Dazhong Army to clean up the battlefield, he was really scared, the Dazhong Army was full of tricks, and he could fight and kill, he could no longer afford defeat, he almost exhausted the strength in his hands in today's battle, and could no longer afford to lose, and now only he and Duoduo were left with the 20,000 soldiers of the two white flags, if it was lost again, Then the status of the three brothers in the Great Qing Kingdom was completely finished, so he could only stare like this, watching the Great Chinese Army show off his might, but he didn't dare to provoke them anymore.
For a whole night, the various attacking tools that Jiannu had built with great difficulty in the battlefield outside the customs were burning fiercely, like a huge torch, illuminating the outside of Shanhaiguan, and a large number of large and medium-sized generals and the soldiers who helped the soldiers and the Ming soldiers of Shanhaiguan walked back and forth on the battlefield, on one side was the screams of the wounded soldiers of Jiannu dying on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was the laughter and laughter of the victors.
Wu Xiang was completely convinced, it can be said that the generals of the Dazhong Army were served by the five-body casting, he learned afterwards that Yan Chongxi had been injured and withdrew from the battlefield not long after the war, and it was Luo Li who came here to command the battle, so he had to sigh, these generals of the Dazhong Army, one is more difficult to provoke than the other, in his eyes Yan Chongxi and Wang Chengping These generals are already very powerful, and now there is a surname Luo, but it is not worse than them, not to mention the war, but also "good at using tactics", To take the initiative to abandon Xiluo City as a trap, at once the pit killed more than 2,000 Jiannu army, such a credit if put on their Ming generals, ironclad is a peerless achievement, these years, the Ming army in the battle against Jiannu, rare victory, beheading more than 100 more than a handful of military exploits, more than 100 beheading is a great victory, beheading dozens of levels, it is also a great victory, many Ming generals so-called victory, basically only a dozen or even a few Jiannu heads, at best, it is to lead the troops with super superior forces, surrounded some of the drunken Jiannu after looting, killed a few drunken Jiannu, and then cheekily reported the victory to the peak.
Look at the people of the big Chinese army here, these days, the Jiannu army killed under the pass is at least more than 10,000, but these generals of the big Chinese army, but one by one, they don't seem to think so, they don't take it seriously at all, which makes many Ming generals really embarrassed to the extreme, where does Wu Xiang have the slightest idea of looking down on the generals of the big middle army!
After a night of cleaning the battlefield, the results of the battle were quickly counted, after this day's fierce battle, the Dazhong Army and the Ming Army "together" killed and wounded nearly 5,000 slave soldiers, and captured nearly 1,000 slave soldiers, not counting the number of dead and wounded slave soldiers who were snatched back by Jiannu at the beginning, if you add the number of slave soldiers, Dolgon's loss of soldiers and horses will be close to 10,000 at the end of the day.
The defenders lost less than 1,000 people, of which more than 400 were killed, and the rest were wounded, most of whom were slightly injured. The Han army is the red flag of Melle Zhangjing and Ma Guanghui, if they know that they have killed these enemy generals, they don't know how to be happy!
It wasn't until two or three days later that they learned from the captives that they had not only killed so many slave soldiers, but also killed one banner master and two deputy flag masters of the slave army, and Luo Li's mouth was crooked to his ears with a smile.
After this battle, Wu Xiang, Luo Li and others all judged that Jiannu was no longer able to launch a new large-scale offensive in the Shanhaiguan area in a short period of time, and then waited for Huang Taiji to personally lead the troops, so in a short time, Shanhaiguan was in a safe state.
In this regard, the soldiers and civilians in the Shanhaiguan area were all overjoyed and cheered, and the news flew in all directions as if they had grown wings.
But the loss of the large Chinese army in this battle is not light, the consumption of ammunition and materials is very large, just the various types of artillery have been exhausted more than a dozen, the ammunition base is consumed one and a half, and the biggest loss is Yan Chongxi's injury, although Yan Chongxi was not directly hit, but the head was hit by a flying stone, the injury was also very serious, after being rescued, he was in a coma for two days before gradually waking up, and accompanied by severe vomiting and headache, it was obviously a serious concussion, and he could no longer command the operation in a short period of time. However, as soon as Yan Chongxi woke up and regained his senses a little, he immediately inquired about the situation of the battle, and after learning the news of their great victory, he was relieved and handed over the soldiers of the First Town Army under his command to Luo Li for temporary command, and after the explanation, he was sent to Yongping Mansion for treatment.
After this battle was fought, the people from the Special Intelligence Department also made a suggestion to Luo Li, asking Luo Li to divide a batch from the captured Jiannu heads and give them to Wu Xiang, which was not for Wu Xiang to share any credit in the Dazhong Dynasty, but mainly to let Wu Xiang use it to fool the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen on the side of the Jingshi.
For these heads of Jiannu, Luo Li is not uncommon! From the first sight, the Xingtian Army did not judge merit by head, but freely set a set of methods to judge merit, so it would not appear on the battlefield to grab people's heads, and eventually lead to failure, nor would they compete with each other for the enemy's head, and there would be any internal contradictions.
Now the Special Intelligence Department asked them to allocate a group of Jiannu heads to Wu Xiang to fool the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen, Luo Licai didn't care! So when he allocated 2,000 heads to Wu Xiang, let Wu Xiang use them for errands.
The remaining severed Tartar heads, Luo Li simply ordered to use them to build a Jingguan under the pass, in order to humiliate and deter the Jiannu side.
Wu Xiang was very grateful to the Dazhong Army for the safety of his family, and even after saying thank you, he ordered someone to load the heads of these Jiannu soldiers in a cart and immediately transported them to the Beijing Division, so as to show Zhu Youzhen the merits of the Jie, these Tartar heads are all real Jiannu soldiers, although most of them are the heads of the Han soldiers of the Han Army Banner of Jiannu, but these Han soldiers have already shaved their hair, leaving the money rat tail of the Tartars, which is still the head of the Tartar soldiers, once transported into the Beijing Division, It is expected that the government and the opposition in the capital will suddenly cause a shock, the Ming Dynasty has rarely killed so many Tartar heads at one time for so many years, Wu Xiang can be regarded as the first general of the Ming Dynasty with only this batch of Tartar heads.
Soon after the defenders achieved such a big victory in Shanhaiguan, news also came from the area of Xifengkou, Zhou Yuji led his troops in Xifengkou to really block another Jiannu group of men and horses knocking on the pass, and also killed a lot of enemies in Xifengkou, forcing Abatai and Haoge to give up attacking Xifengkou, turn around and turn to find the next place to break through, but at the same time as the news came, the person who reported the news also sent the news that Zhou Yuji was killed in a battle at Xifengkou, this news not only makes people sigh, on the one hand, admires Zhou Yuji's loyalty, On the other hand, he sighed at the power of Jiannu.
The news of these two places, almost at the same time into the Ming Dynasty of the Beijing Division, the Beijing Division of the government and the opposition were in a state of extreme panic and despair, after learning these two news, the people's hearts could not help but be greatly inspired, many of the people of the Beijing Division rushed to celebrate, reciting these two great victories, even Zhu Youzhen, who was already a dead heart, after hearing these two news, could not help but lift his spirits, when even if he ran to the temple is to burn incense and kowtow, to comfort the ancestors and ancestors in the spirit of the sky, Claiming that he is not a good descendant, although the world has not been governed well, but recently he has won a great victory, killing countless Jiannu, at this time in the Ming court, the civil and military officials have long ceased to tell the truth to Zhu Youzhen, they know that the Ming Dynasty is almost over, this time is to pick good words, probably sympathy for Zhu Youzhen, or may be self-comfort, in short, they are all according to Wu Xiang's statement, saying that this Shanhaiguan victory is Wu Xiang's beating, Zhu Youzhen has been unable to distinguish the truth from falsehood, under the inner self-esteem, He also blindfolded his head, and simply selectively believed that this matter was true, and even said to the chamberlain that Daming had Wu Xiang here, so it could be revived, but this was just wishful thinking on the part of a small group of them.
But the version of folklore is different from what Zhu Youzhen heard, I don't know how, someone described the details of the battle of Shanhaiguan in detail, praised the courage of the Dazhong Army, and said that the victory of Shanhaiguan, although Wu Xiang contributed a lot, but mainly relied on the Dazhong Army to fight, and even some people also described the tragic situation of the battle that day, as if they were immersive.
The people of the people are not all fools, they have a wider channel for hearing gossip, among all kinds of messy information, they will make their own analysis, the people of the Ming Dynasty know what the level of the Ming army is, for so many years, even in the heyday, the Guan Ning army has never fought such a beautiful victory, and now today, the Ming Dynasty has long been in the waning mountains, Wu Xiang is a deprecated for many years, a general who lives at home, and now the court is really unavailable, so he can be revived out of the Zhenshan Pass, with his means, When the Ming army was still strong and strong, he Wu Xiang was also a fugitive general, and now it is impossible to fight such a great victory against the Jiannu army, which is far more numerous than them, in Shanhaiguan.
Therefore, if someone has a little analysis, you can come to such a conclusion, that is, the victory of Shanhaiguan is not fought by Wu Xiang at all, but now it is fought by the Dazhong Army in the same area as Wu Xiang, and there are officials who do not know the current affairs to scoff at this matter, and write to Zhu Youzhen, refuting Wu Xiang's victory in Shanhaiguan this time, and directly denouncing Wu Xiang for stealing the credit of the Dazhong Army, in fact, Wu Xiang has already secretly fornicated with the Dazhong Dynasty, and asked Zhu Youzhen to dismiss Wu Xiang's post as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan. Send someone to arrest him back to Beijing to convict him.
But the words of these unsightly officials are also farting at all, and now the imperial court has basically lost control over places outside the capital, and the ability to control the army has been extremely weak, no matter whether Wu Xiang is taking the lead this time or not, he is now a person with heavy troops, and he is no longer a person who can easily move in the imperial court.
Some people will think that Wu Xiang still has his family members in the Beijing division as a hostage, and he can use Wu Xiang's family members to control him, but the court is completely a rat trap at this time, and there are no available soldiers at hand, no matter what the truth is on Wu Xiang's side, the court does not dare to move Wu Xiang easily at this time, after all, Wu Xiang is still playing the banner of the Ming Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, once Wu Xiang is pressed, he can surrender to the Dazhong Dynasty at any time, and now he Wu Xiang can still make a little face for the court, once he is anxious, I'm afraid that the last fig leaf of the imperial court will also be stripped off, so Zhu Youzhen just regarded these words as a fart at this time, not only did he not dare to touch Wu Xiang, but also sent someone to send some rewards to the family members in Wu Xiang's mansion, so as to show that he actually trusts Wu Xiang quite a lot, and hopes that Wu Xiang can lead the troops to guard the Shanhaiguan Pass and not surrender to the side of Dazhong and North Korea, so he is thankful.
