Li Rusong's side quickly finished fighting.

All annihilated, probably only a few hundred ran away, the rest were all wrapped up by Li Rusong, the Liaodong Army has not fought a battle since the battle, this time, Li Rusong fought very happily, and beat the northern captives all the time, he didn't even feel anything, he just felt that he was fighting very happily.

After the defeat, according to statistics, Li Rusong beheaded more than 2,100 people in the first battle, nearly 30,000 people in the north were wiped out, thousands of stones of grain in the camp were captured by the Ming army, and more than 3,000 military horses and more than 7,000 dead and wounded horses were also captured.

Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered the dead horses to be cooked, the wounded horses were killed for meat, and they could not be wasted, and then all the food in the Beiyu military camp was collected for his own use, and those big carts and carts were also urgently needed by the Ming army, and the army that was about to divide the troops on the two roads was prepared for supply distribution.

During this period, Xiao Ruxun held the last military meeting before the division of troops and said all the things he was worried about.

"This time, the destination of the Chai soldiers and Dong Zongbing is to kill Hukou, which is a very important pass, and the Ming Dynasty has used this as an exit for several Northern Expeditions, so this is also the Ming Fortress that the Beiyu is familiar with.

Therefore, Chai Zongbing and Dong Zongbing are afraid that there are a lot of northern captives, maybe there are also tribes with special combat effectiveness, and the number of people is afraid that there will be a lot, you must pay special attention, I repeat again, you must not divide the troops to fight, absolutely not! ”

Chai Guozhu and Dong Yiyuan hugged their fists and promised: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

"Well, then the next thing is the road between me and General Li Bing, we are the main force this way, but the task is as important, we have to go not only to Datong City, but also Yanghe City, this should be the key place for the Beiyu to attack, we must not slack off, if we encounter the main force of the Beiyu, we should be cautious in the battle.

More importantly, along the way, we must take care of the food, because we may encounter a lot of homeless people, when we meet homeless people, the army can give them a certain amount of rations, and then let them go south, but if they encounter malicious clamor to rob the army of food, no matter who it is, it doesn't matter if they are killed! ”

Xiao Ruxun's last sentence was murderous.

The crowd will be awe-inspiring.

"No!"

In the afternoon, the army was full of a meal of horse meat rice and horse meat soup again, full of food, warm, after a short rest, the army was opened, 70,000 Ming soldiers were divided into two roads, Chai Guozhu and Dong Yiyuan led 30,000 soldiers and horses out of Mayi, Xiao Ruxun and Li Rusong led 40,000 troops to Shanyin.

The Datong counteroffensive officially began, and according to Xiao Ruxun's requirements, the army had to contact each other every day, and every time they arrived at a strategic place, they had to communicate with each other, reporting the place of arrival, the date, the food reserves and the battle situation, as well as the terrain and surrounding environment.

Send a considerable number of herald cavalry and sentinels to ensure smooth communication between the two sides, and if there is no contact with each other for more than three days, it means that something is wrong.

Regardless of which side has an accident, the problem is serious.

Now, it depends on how many northern captives there are in Datong.

Mei Guozhen, Ma Gui, are they still safe?

Xiao Ruxun didn't know, and he didn't dare to speculate.

But he knows very well that whether it is Mei Guozhen or Ma Gui, there is no good fruit to eat after this war, and the biggest bitter fruit has been swallowed by Wang Shiyang, but the remaining small bitter fruit must be swallowed by someone, otherwise who should bear such a big loss and public anger?

Xiao Ruxun sighed at what happened to these two old people.

On the first day of March in the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, Xiao Ruxun led his troops to arrive at Shanyin, the county seat of Shanyin was dilapidated, and the entire county was like a ghost domain, and no one could see it, but it was normal to think about it, after all, it was the main road for the northern captives to attack Yanmen Pass, and it was conceivable that it was leveled by the northern captives.

The ruined city, the ruined houses, and the bones that have gradually decayed on the ground all show the terrible experience of the people of Sanyin County, but Xiao Ruxun is powerless to do anything about it.

When the Beiyu came, they roared, and when they left, they didn't leave anything behind, and they couldn't see a single living person here.

When he received Nurhachi's military report, Xiao Ruxun knew that there were no living people here, but when he really saw it, he still couldn't control the grief and desolation in his heart.

"Our generation of soldiers is incompetent, but the innocent people who have been harmed have been miserable! If we cannot protect the people from the enemy, what is the reason for the sword in our hands? This is also the fault of my generation! ”

Xiao Ruxun looked at the ruins of Shanyin County and shed tears, set up an altar at the gate of the county seat, and offered the head of the northern captive cut off outside the Yanmen Pass as a sacrifice, and by the way, cut off a strand of his hair.

"If Xun still needs this head to avenge you, to be ashamed of the snow country, here to cut the hair of the head to swear, will be killed in the north, for you to avenge the hatred, may you know the spring, you can look at it."

Xiao Ruxun put his hair under the altar to express his guilt and sincerity, and then, the main generals in the army followed Xiao Ruxun, and each of them cut off a strand of hair to express their guilt and sincerity.

"The northern captives have no virtue, they brutalize my people, this northern expedition will definitely make the northern captives pay for their blood debts and blood!"

"Blood debt and blood payment!"

The soldiers shouted in unison.

The Ming army continued northward, advancing in the direction of Yingzhou.

Yingzhou, north of Yanmen Pass and south of Datong Town, is not a very important border hub, more often than not, it is probably a border material transfer station, which should be a place with no name, but because of a big war in Zhengde in 12 years, a battle of more than 100,000 people took place here.

However, what really makes it talked about by future generations is probably not the battle itself, the number of wars in which more than 100,000 people participated in Chinese history is indeed not much, but it will definitely not make Yingzhou famous because of this, what really makes Yingzhou famous is because of the result of this 100,000-person battle.

The Ming army beheaded the Mongolian sixteenth rank, and the Ming army lost fifty-two people.

The "grade" of beheading here does not mean that only sixteen Mongols were killed, the definition of the head is very strict, being killed by arrows, being killed by muskets, and being killed by artillery is not considered a head, and only the head cut off when the two armies above the battle formation are cut off can be recorded as the head.

Therefore, except for a few annihilation battles, the ratio between the enemy and the head is very close, and the number of kills and beheadings in most of the other battles is maintained at a ratio of about ten to one, or even lower, so it is estimated that the number of Mongol deaths recorded here is about 160 to 200.

But it's also hilarious!

100,000 people with swords, guns, swords and halberds together, interacting with group fights, and as a result, the losses added up to less than 200 people?
