In ancient cold-weapon warfare, when really fighting head-to-head, there were actually very few battles to destroy the enemy's living forces in large quantities. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The real large-scale casualties all occurred in the process of one side being defeated and fleeing, and the other side was chasing and killing behind the scenes.

Chasing the enemy's ass attack and swinging the knife at the enemy's back is always the most efficient kill.

At this time, the pursuing Laizhou army and the fleeing Manchu Mongol soldiers were in such a situation.

The Manchu captives and Mongol Tatars, who had been shattered by the muskets and mortars of the Laizhou army, threw their dead bodies and weapons and miscellaneous items on the ground in the flight that lasted for half an hour.

In the process of escaping, many people were chased and killed by the fast, well-equipped, and vicious cavalry of the Laizhou Army.

These Ming cavalry were unlike any previous Ming army, they stared at blood-red eyes, shouted the slogan "Bloody charge, never die", and rushed with swords regardless of it. There was no defense at all, only an attack that would end in the same fate.

This almost suicidal attack completely shattered the confidence of any Tartar who wanted to fight back. This vicious dog is not scary, but the mad dog is scary!

All the men, having witnessed the tragic death of their companions, whipped their horses desperately and fled in fear to the base camp full of prisoners.

"Shh Wang Rui, who rushed to the front, no longer had a group of Tatar soldiers in his eyes at this time. He pulled the reins of his horse with his left hand and raised a long knife with his right hand, signaling the guards to stop attacking.

"Hmph", "Hmph" Countless war horses gasped and snapped and stopped.

Chen Song looked at Wang Rui, who was covered in blood, and asked a little worriedly, "My lord, you are not injured, are you?" ”

"My lord, God dares to hurt him!" Brother Yin, who was also covered in blood, smirked and came up and hurriedly answered.

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Chen Song proudly and said, "Brother Song, how many have you killed?" I'm going to kill twenty-two of them this time! ”

"You stupid Erleng! If there is any mistake in my lordship, we guards will die a hundred times, and we will not be able to dissipate everyone's anger! You just think about killing people yourself, and you don't care about it! Chen Song scolded angrily.

As soon as this Yin eldest brother started fighting, he automatically entered a state of rage, only knowing that he was frantically chasing the enemy and slashing. As for the heavy responsibility of protecting Lord Wang, he has long forgotten about it outside the clouds!

"Chen Song, don't scold him! He is right, Lao Tzu fell from the sky, and the Ji people have their own heavenly appearance. This time it's a good kill! Let's go, go back with Lao Tzu! Wang Rui laughed and pulled his horse back to the position of the Laizhou army.

"Go back!" The soldiers of the Guards shouted with joy. Killing the enemy on the battlefield has never been more enjoyable than winning and returning to the camp!

Later, the legend that the Emperor of Hanwei was the son of Xuanyuan and the god of war of the Han Dynasty began here.

Countless experts in later generations have verified that Wang Rui, the emperor of Hanwei, once said that he fell from the sky in the battle of Gu'an. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't show it at this time.

On the way back, he met Tang Xiaoxian and other 100-man cavalry of the Laizhou Army, who was chasing and killing.

After ordering Chen Song to go back to deliver the message, Wang Rui ordered all units to alternate vigilance and cover, while blocking and killing the Mongolian soldiers fleeing behind, and at the same time gathering various cavalry squads to move closer to the position of the Laizhou army.

After receiving the news of the victory of the cavalry, the position of the Laizhou army immediately became a sea of joy. Except for Xu Fu's department, which was responsible for staying in place, the other armies were all involved in cleaning up the battlefield.

After more than 10,000 people searched for more than an hour, the final battle was finally placed in front of Wang Rui: more than 7,000 Mongolian Tatar soldiers were captured, and more than 2,500 Zhenyi were captured. Nearly 5,000 intact war horses, about 300,000 taels of gold, silver, jewelry, and other items were captured.

As for other seizures such as weapons and armor, eating sundries, Lord Wang was no longer interested in learning about it, so he directly handed over the matter to Fang Yuan, Chen Ming, Qiangzi and others to implement.

He was also busy going into the city with Lin Side to find the cold magistrate in Gu'an City.

"Side! Go! Inform this Gu'an County order, our Laizhou army has won a great victory here, and we need to go into the city to rest! Wang Rui commanded angrily.

"My lord, I'm afraid this Gu'an County Decree will still not open the city!" Lin said worriedly.

"It's very simple, you send someone to the city and tell Nazhi County that if you don't open the door again, I will definitely sue him in the report document. He also told him that the captives still had a brigade behind, and they were about to take revenge. ”

Lin Side said hatefully: "What if he still doesn't open it?" ”

"Then we'll ask him again with two hundred mortars."

Although Wang Rui said it ruthlessly, he thought that as long as this magistrate was not an elm head, he should know how important the military exploits under the city were.

This report document must be directly sent to the emperor, if Wang Rui scolds him in the report, it is estimated that his official position will be over.

In Wang Rui's opinion, although the city wall is a little dilapidated, it is better than the wilderness with only one breastwork.

In addition, more doctors and laborers could be found in the city to facilitate the treatment of wounded soldiers. At the same time, it can also give other soldiers a better sense of psychological security, which is also one of the advantages of fighting in the back city.

Killing so many Manchu and Mongolian Tatar soldiers at one time may indeed attract retaliation from the Manchu army.

There is also a good reason, when the Black Child (Huang Taiji) was crossing Gyeonggi, a Ming army suddenly appeared, and so many soldiers of the Dajin army were killed, if they were not eliminated, those Mongols who were like grass on the wall would think that the Ming army also had a strong army and continue to waver.

With a strong army with high morale like the Laizhou Army, and some organized people, Wang Rui is not afraid of many captives coming to attack.

If Hei Zi (Huang Taiji) had listened to the process of the battle of Gu'an, he should have known how much he would have to pay to conquer the city with such an army defending the city.

Death is on the one hand, on the other hand, he is hanging in the army, and he does not dare to fight such a tough battle at all, and once a large number of wounded appear, his mobility ability will be greatly reduced. This is the most fatal thing for Manchu.

After calling the door this time, the reaction from Gu'an City was very fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers defending the city received an order from Mu Min, the magistrate, to open the city gate and let the Laizhou army enter the city.

After seeing more than 3,000 people from Li Zhenghao's right military camp enter the city gate, Wang Rui suddenly said viciously to Lin Side and Zhang Er: "You go with my warrant and order Li Zhenghao: Arrest all the officials and officials in Gu'an County!" Don't miss a single one! ”

"My lord! In what name? Lin Side was taken aback when he heard this.

"Nominally? Haha, Lao Tzu's strong army is in hand, the world is invincible, this is the name! Wang Rui laughed.

After laughing, he frowned and thought for a moment, and finally waved his big hand and said, "Go, in the name of the people!" ”
