Bai Jia advanced extremely fast, and the phalanx commander had just finished giving the order, and they had already approached about ten steps in front of the phalanx. The hit rate of the firebolt is generally low, which means that at about fifty paces, and when it is close to the battle, the firebolt becomes more accurate than the bow and arrow, so when the first burst of gunfire is fired, a large number of white armor close to the phalanx falls in front of the formation. And the Ming army's formation was not chaotic, even if Bai Jia rushed in and killed a soldier in front, he was quickly stabbed by several bayonets from other directions and fell in a pool of blood.

At this time, the Han army behind was forced to rush forward, but they cowered, and their eyes were glancing around, indicating that it was impossible to pose any threat to the phalanx, and sure enough, when the phalanx infantry walked forward with bayonets, the Han army quickly collapsed and quickly fled backwards, and the slashes of the armored soldiers behind could not stop the flow of people backwards.

The cavalry battalion has been slowly advancing with the phalanx on both flanks, at this time Yang Guanggao on the left flank waved his hand and rushed towards the fleeing Han army with the cavalry, and Cao Wenzhao on the right flank acted almost at the same time as him. Du Du let out a long sigh and fled backwards with his own soldiers.

At this time, the drums sounded eight times in succession, and the infantry stopped to be on guard, and after a short rest, they began the pursuit. The baggage soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, first carrying the wounded soldiers of their own side to the medical officer in the back, and then mending the undead Jiannu, cutting off the head, and putting away the armor. The last platoon of infantry phalanxes, which had not participated in the battle, pursued them in advance.

The cavalry battalion followed Jiannu closely, and the firecrackers had already been thrown on the ground, each with a saber in their hands, and when they ran past the enemy, they hung their swords, and the speed of the horses would allow the knife to easily cut Jiannu down. After chasing for about ten miles, Yang Guanggao ordered to stop the pursuit, because there was a left-behind army of Jiannu in front, the formation was clear, and there were traps in front, leaving only a few narrow passages for Jiannu's defeated troops to pass through.

Yang Guanggao also wanted to see if there was a chance, but the other party shot a rain of arrows, hitting several unarmored cavalrymen in the legs, injuring dozens of horses. The cavalry had no long-range firepower, so they had to rescue the wounded and slowly retreat. Cao Wenzhao was not reconciled, and after withdrawing from the range of Jiannu, he did not dismount, but fired his bow left and right on the horse, and fired ten arrows in a row, hitting ten Jiannu, causing the cavalry to cheer loudly.

Everyone was at a stalemate at a certain distance, and then Houjin's boat came down from the upstream and slowly leaned against the shore. Later, the Jin army began to board the ship in batches, and after boarding, they quickly sailed to the opposite bank, and sailed over again after getting off the people.

At this time, Zhou Yuji and the infantry finally arrived, and Yang Guanggao and Cao Wenzhao led the cavalry to get out of the way and spread out to the two wings, ready to chase and flee at any time. Zhou Yuji ordered: "Three shots." "Then he personally beat the rhythm of the infantry with drums. In this flat place, the range and damage far exceed the bow and arrow, coupled with the gap between the Houjin soldiers and the Ming army in armor, making the finishing process extremely smooth, the Ming army eliminated most of the remaining troops who had not had time to get on the ship with very few casualties, as well as some of the Houjin soldiers who had already boarded the ship, Cao Wenzhao showed a magic skill of opening the bow left and right, eight arrows and eight people, and it was the person who had already boarded the ship, in the cheers of the Ming army, Cao Wenzhao controlled his trembling hands, slowly raised the iron bow and shouted: "All for the Ming Dynasty, All for the emperor. ”

The soldiers also shouted together: "All for the Ming, all for the emperor." On the other side of the river, Dudu looked at the bullet hole in his left arm, listened to the deafening shout, and closed his eyes in pain. How will the Khan punish himself this time? Oh my God, even Jingying can fight like this, is there still heavenly reason in this world?

CHAPTER XV

After the battlefield was cleaned, a total of 1,437 enemies were killed in this battle, including 613 Jiannu, and no prisoners were taken. A total of 8 Niulu flags with white flags and one main flag were seized, while the Beijing camp suffered 359 casualties, 286 seriously wounded, and 633 minor wounded.

The army rested for a day, and then rushed back to Quang Ninh in two days. Wang Huazhen arranged a grand welcome scene outside the city gate, he always wanted to attack Jiannu, but every time he was defeated, the soldiers who fled back did not survive, this time the Beijing camp went to battle, only beheaded Zhenyi There were more than 600, which made him greatly faced, and it also proved that his attack strategy was right, of course he was happy, so when Yang Guanggao asked him for Cao Wenzhao, he immediately agreed.

And he also had a proud thing, he sent training troops to guerrilla Mao Wenlong, went deep into the rear of Jiannu, and recovered all along the coast. After Mao Wenlong arrived in Zhenjiang on July 14, he secretly communicated with Chen Liangce of the Zhenjiang Central Army as the internal response, led more than 100 people to attack at night, captured Tong Yangzhen, his son Tong Fengnian, and his nephew Tong Songnian, etc., and then sent Chen Zhong and others to attack Shuangshan, and captured and beheaded Houjin guerrilla Miao Yizhen and others, and the good news had been transmitted to Beijing by the horse.

"Guanggao congratulates the court, the emperor, and the governor." Hearing such good news, Yang Guanggao was also overjoyed. Mao Wenlong made such a big deal in Zhenjiang, which could contain the Houjin forces and be more conducive to Guangning's entrenchment.

On 15 August, Jingying embarked on the road back to Beijing. The captured and lightly wounded were taken away by the baggage battalion in horse-drawn carriages, while the seriously wounded were taken care of by medical officers in Quang Ninh until they recovered from their injuries before returning to Beijing. Therefore, the road was trained again, and by the time we arrived at Shanhaiguan, the speed had been increased to forty miles a day.

After Mao Wenlong's report reached the Beijing Division, the Ministry of War listened to Wang Huazhen's proposal and urged Xiong Tingbi to go out of the customs to supervise the division, so at this time Xiong Tingbi was already stationed in Youtunwei, which was more than 100 miles away from Guangning. Yang Guanggao visited him when he was passing by, and Xiong Tingbi criticized Wang Huazhen's offensive strategy in front of them, feeling that he wanted to rely on Xiyu and Neiying to level Liaodong in one fell swoop, but he was afraid that he was too simple. Several people thought so, but it was inconvenient to echo Xiong Tingbi at will, they were officers in the Beijing camp, and expressing their opinions at will be regarded as the emperor's will, and let people with other intentions use it, and if something happens, it will be bad.

After returning to Beijing, the first thing is to present the flag to the Taimiao, and then the list of sacrificed soldiers is enshrined in the Martyrs' Shrine. After all this was done, the emperor personally came to Jingying.

After entering the camp, all the generals greeted the emperor with a military salute, and Cao Wenzhao suppressed his urge to kneel, and awkwardly used military salutes to salute the emperor.

After Zhu Youxiao returned the salute with a military salute, he sat down with the generals at all levels in the Beijing camp. The eunuch who came with him began to pass on the decree: all battalions in the Beijing camp were renamed the Guards, and Yang Guangkui was promoted to the commander of the Guards (Zheng Sanpin), and he was in charge of all departments of the Guards. Yang Guanggao is the commander of the Guards (from the third product), the assistant of the Guards Army, Lu Qin is the commander of the Guards and leads the artillery battalion, Zhou Yuji is the commander of the Guards (Zheng Sipin), the main leader of the infantry battalion, and Cao Wenzhao is the commander of the Guards (from the fifth grade), and the cavalry battalion. Officers at all levels were promoted to one level, and the soldiers who participated in the Liaodong War were each rewarded with five taels of silver, and those who did not participate were rewarded with two taels of silver.
