Chapter 534: The War Ends
Even Lu Jin, when he came to the entrance of the small mountain road and looked inside, he was quite surprised, and it was difficult to come back to his senses for a long time. As for the hundreds of sergeants, they stayed in place with their mouths wide open, saying that what they saw was a dream illusion. Because everything in the valley path in front of me looks too terrifyingโ
When they laid this trap, they did think that they could inflict a lot of damage on the Mongols, but the casualties in front of them were too great. I saw that the narrow mountain road was full of the corpses of Mongolian people and horses, and in a cursory sweep, there were thousands of people. While a few were still moaning, the vast majority were silent. This small mountain road is almost blocked by the corpses of these Mongolian people and war horses!
In fact, the strategy used by Lu Zhen this time was not very powerful, but he just used the mentality of the new defeat of the Mongolian people and the mentality of all the soldiers to play a suspicious tactic, and led them into the small mountain road where many mines were planted earlier in the continuous dark night. In his original plan, in fact, there should be ambushes here, so as to deal a heavier blow to the fleeing Mongols. However, because Hua Xian led people away, he was overstretched in manpower, so he had to abandon his original plan and only rely on mines and terrain to kill and injure the enemy.
Unexpectedly, this effect is surprisingly good. When the Mongols encountered such a terrible minefield again, they completely disregarded and directly filled in a way out with human lives. And because of panic and scramble, most of the centaurs still trampled on each other and died here, and this kind of victory came a little too easily.
Looking at the corpses of the Mongols who were full of valleys, all the soldiers were completely excited at this time, and they cheered loudly. For them, these corpses are enough to make them knights. Moreover, to achieve such a great victory with 500 troops, the magnitude of this credit is unimaginable. This made all the soldiers instantly turn their complaints against Lu Zhen into strong gratitude and respect, and the eyes looking at him were completely different from before.
Before, these people were still a little resentful because they were forced to stay with Lu Zhen and couldn't rush to the capital to rescue. Especially when they vaguely heard the roar from the direction of the capital, they felt even more anxious, and they were even more dissatisfied and resentful towards Lu Jin. And now, all this has disappeared, and only then did they know that this young Lord Lu has really managed to strategize and win a thousand miles!
"My lord, what are we going to do next?" After coming back to his senses, a hundred households asked Lu Jindao respectfully, and everyone here was very willing to obey his command at this time.
Lu Zhen smiled, and just wanted to say something, when suddenly a sound of horses' hooves came from the rear, which made the hearts of the soldiers tighten, thinking that there was still a defeated army of Mongolians coming, and everyone picked up the weapons in their hands and put on a defensive posture.
But then, by the light of the morning, everyone saw clearly the flag of the team, which was the usual flag in the Ming army, which made them breathe a sigh of relief, only to see a big stone character written on the big flag in the middle.
This group of cavalry is naturally Shi Heng's subordinate who is chasing after the reluctant people. Because their riding skills were a little inferior after all, and it was dark, they were pulled away by the Mongolian people who fled in a hurry, and they didn't arrive until this time. The sight of hundreds of people suddenly standing there in front of them really startled them, and many of them had already shown their weapons and wanted to fight the possible enemy.
Fortunately, at this time, the sky was slightly bright, and both parties could see each other's clothes clearly, so it did not cause the tragedy of the flood washing the Dragon King Temple. However, Shi Heng, who was in the middle of the team, was still full of doubts, and as soon as he lifted the reins, he rode up to meet him: "Where are you from the team, why are you staying here?" Can you meet the rout of the Tartars? โ
"This official, Lu Jin, was ordered to contain and deal with the Tartar invaders outside." Lu Zhen had also come out of the crowd at this time, and said solemnly: "Dare to ask which general is on the other side?" โ
Now Lu Jin's reputation in the capital is really not small, even these ordinary soldiers have already heard of his name, and when they hear it, they all speak softly. As for Shi Heng, he was even more stunned, immediately turned over and dismounted, and saluted with his fists: "It turned out that Lu Langzhong was here, and the last general, Shi Heng, was ordered to pursue the Tartar army, do you know where the Tartar went?" โ
"Shi Heng......" When Lu Zhen heard this name, his eyebrows suddenly raised, and he unconsciously looked at the general in front of him carefully. He is still quite curious about this famous general who stirred up the situation in Beijing in the following ten years, indirectly led to the killing of Yu Qian, and finally had to die a good death.
"Adults have heard of Shi?" Seeing Lu Jin's thoughtful expression, Shi Heng was also stunned.
"Oh, I've only seen General Shi's name in the relevant documents of the Ministry of War." Lu Jin hurriedly made an excuse, and then changed the topic: "You said that the Tartars broke the army, and it was from this trail that they fled to the north, and at the same time left a lot of money here. โ
"This ......" followed Lu Zhen to the mountain road, and after seeing the "spectacular" scene inside, Shi Heng also lost his mind for a short time: "This is all killed by Lord Lu and these brothers?" When he said this, he himself was a little unconvinced that it was true.
But Lu Jin's answer made him have to believe: "Yes, it's just that some means were used, plus the heart of the Tartar army has already collapsed, and General Shi led the troops to chase after him and didn't dare to delay, so we picked up a big bargain!" โ
When Shi Heng heard this, he just smiled. Although Lu Zhen said politely, they naturally did not have any credit for this. Thinking that he led his troops to fight with the enemy in front of Desheng Gate, and then chased hard all the way, but in real terms, I am afraid that there is not much more credit than here.
What's more, here they only have 500 men and horses and have killed thousands of enemies, and this transmission back to the capital, the dazzling degree of credit is far more than their own. Thinking about it like this, Shi Heng felt a little more jealous in his heart, and his face was not as natural as before.
But the superficial kung fu was still needed, so Shi Heng praised Lu Zhen a few more words, and then asked the direction of the Tartar's escape, and led the cavalry to continue to chase forward. Naturally, they couldn't walk the small mountain road, because not only might there be mines in it, but also countless corpses of people and horses would be blocked, and they wouldn't be able to rush through it at all. Fortunately, the official road on the side is in the same direction as this path, and it is flatter, so you can save some effort from pursuing it from now on.
Seeing Shi Heng lead his troops to chase after him farewell, Lu Jin's face also became solemn. Although the other party covered it up just now, the jealousy in his eyes was still captured by him. Thinking that such a narrow-minded and unscrupulous fellow would soon gain a foothold in the court, the little joy he had just given birth dissipated again.
Indeed, this time the Ming Dynasty in the defense of Beijing was a rare victory. It not only repelled the invading strong enemy, but also inflicted great casualties on them, which is bound to boost the morale of the Ming army and people.
But really calculated, this time the battle between the Ming and Mongolians, the Ming Dynasty is still the side that suffers more.
As soon as the civil fort was defeated, hundreds of thousands of elites were killed by the enemy, and hundreds of monarchs and ministers were killed, all of whom were important members of the imperial court. As the king of a country, Zhu Qizhen fell into the hands of the Tartars, and the damage to the Ming Dynasty was particularly serious, and its subsequent impact will become extremely far-reaching.
For the Mongolian people, although the losses of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in this southern invasion were not small, they were still acceptable. Even if he is temporarily injured, as long as he escapes back to the grassland, after a year or two of recovery, he can once again become a confidant on the border of the Ming Dynasty.
And after this battle, the relationship between the two sides has been completely reversed. In the past, although there were more wars launched by the Mongols on their own initiative, because of Emperor Taizong's several great victories, the Ming army had an absolute advantage psychologically, and the Mongols only made a small fight and did some looting.
But this time, hundreds of thousands of Ming troops were slaughtered by them, which will naturally greatly increase the arrogance of the Ming Dynasty, and in the future, they will no longer have any fear of the Ming army, and even have a psychological advantage in the battle.
However, these follow-up effects will not appear until a few years later, when the Mongolian people come out of this casualty, and Lu Zhen quickly drove these strange thoughts out of his mind.
In the eyes of everyone looking at him in disdain, Lu Zhen immediately called someone to come and asked him to return to the capital quickly, pass on the good news here, and emphasized: "You must remember to make it clear that this battle was fought by hundreds of us." โ
He was actually a little dissatisfied with Hua Xian's approach, and this matter was related to the future of these 500 soldiers who followed him on adventure, so of course he couldn't give up the credit. As for the more than 1,000 people on Hua Xian's side, unless they can make contributions in Beijing, they can only consider themselves unlucky.
After arranging for the men to go back to report the victory, Lu Zhen ordered the soldiers to enter the mountain road and clean up the battlefield. Carrying those Mongolian people who have not yet breathed their breath out of the mountain road and bringing them together will become prisoners captured in this battle, and as long as there are those who dare to resist, they will be resolutely killed, leaving no future trouble.
Although this is a bit inhumane, in the current hostile state between the two sides, they can only be ruthless.
After being busy for most of the day, and after it was dark again, everyone counted the specific number of enemies killed - in this battle, the Mongols left a total of more than 4,000 corpses, and the wounded prisoners of war were about 100.
After this result came out, all the soldiers were jubilant again, you must know that this kind of victory, but when they almost did not have any casualties, this kind of casualty ratio between friend and foe is indeed extremely rare.
Soon after, the imperial court finally sent someone to arrive......
