Fang Yuan spent half an hour killing the Manchu Tartars who were mixed in the Han pile, and only tied up five Tartars who could speak Chinese to force them to confess, and slaughtered the rest, leaving no one.

Chigutai, who had pursued and routed the fleeing Tartars, returned to the village early the next morning.

Fang Yuan counted the results of the battle, the Xuanjia army lost ten people, and more than 50 were injured, Fang Yuan bought alcohol, disinfected white yarn, and hemostatic medicine on Taobao, and ordered the military doctor to clean the wounds one by one, apply medicine, and bandage.

In this battle, a total of 200 horses were robbed, 300 steel sabers and 300 stone of grain were captured.

The men and women who were looted were arranged outside the village by Fang Yuan.

Because the standard of the Manchu Tartar raids was also to select young women and young men, Fang Yuan ordered the Xuanjia Army to count these young and strong men, who could ride horses and were willing to join the army, so they were temporarily arranged to live in the village temporarily, and then incorporated into the Xuanjia Army after the war; There are also young women, who are willing to be paired with the Xuanjia sergeant, they can stay, and take them back to Jiangnan to celebrate An's birthday after the war. The young woman, who did not want to be matched, and the young man who did not meet the standard, each of them gave ten days' rations from the grain plundered by the Tartars, and released them back.

As for the gold and silver recovered, about 5,000 taels were counted, and Fang Yuan temporarily deposited it in the Yue Bao account, and then after the war, he would be rewarded for his meritorious deeds and distributed.

The fierce battle ended temporarily, and the people of the village came down from the mountains one after another, cooked rice, roasted pigs and beef, and rewarded Fang Yuan and his party with the sergeants of the Xuanjia Army. If Fang Yuan and his party hadn't arrived in time to annihilate the Manchu Tartars, they would have been plundered by the Tartars as well.

Fang Yuan ordered the Xuanjia army to eat and drink to their heart's content, and exchanged the stolen grain and the people of the village for 10,000 flour cakes and 2,000 catties of cooked meat.

He had the five Tartars captured alive and began to demand confessions.

These five Tartars were still a little stiff, and they deliberately spoke Manchu that Fang Yuan couldn't understand, and they didn't want to give in when they looked at their expressions.

Fang Yuan didn't bother to talk nonsense with these Tartars who came to the territory of the Ming Dynasty to rob, and directly ordered the Xuanjia Army to cut off the arms of four of them, blood flowed like a gushing out, and the screams soared into the sky.

Seeing such a terrifying scene, the remaining people were so frightened that they came out with feces and urine, and they didn't dare to talk to Fang Yuan** in Manchu, and begged for mercy in Chinese.

Fang Yuan took out his waist knife and rested it on his neck, and asked slowly, "Where is the military rations of the Zhenglan Banner stored?" ”

The cold blade rested on his neck, and the tartar didn't dare to hide anything anymore, "Jia...... Jiaxiang County. ”

"In what direction did the four Tartars who went out to plunder the grain go?"

In order to survive, the Tartars immediately told the direction of the five roads of raiding one by one.

Fang Yuan indicated the location on the map, and glanced at the Xuanjia sergeant, who slashed his sword and cut off the head of the man and the other four.

After taking care of the aftermath, two days have passed, Fang Yuan led the Xuanjia army out of the village and continued on the road, rushing towards the next Niulu's Tartar killing.

In the next ten days, according to the information he obtained, as well as the first-hand news of Liangshan spies from all over Jining Prefecture, Fang Yuan rushed for hundreds of miles, or sneak attacks, or ambushes, and successively intercepted and killed four of the five routes in the robbery of the cattle record, all of which were annihilated, leaving no one alive, and stripped off all the military uniforms.

Only one way was unable to catch up, and was put back to Darhan's camp outside Jining.

After continuous battles, Fang Yuan had annihilated the four Niu Lu of the Manchu Qing Tartars, with more than 1,200 people. However, the Darhan battalion had not received any news, and thought that the other four routes were delayed, so only a few reconnaissance spies were sent to contact.

Fang Yuan's strategic policy was to fight logistics, annihilate the four-way Tartars, and the next thing to do was to occupy Jiaxiang County, where the Zhenglan Banner was hoarding grain and grass. According to the information provided by the annihilated Tartars, three Manchu Tartars of Niu Lu were stationed in the county seat of Jiaxiang County.

He ordered Chigutai to lead 500 musketeers to put on the military uniforms of the Zhenglan Banner on the armor of the explosion-proof equipment, wrap all the firecrackers in cloth, hide them behind the horses, hold some tattered Zhenglan Banner military flags, and begin to feign to flee to Jiaxiang County, followed by Fang Yuan with 1,500 musketeers.

The Tartars at the sentry posts along the way, seeing that the strikers of Chigutai were wearing military uniforms with blue flags, plus Chigutai Mongolian and Manchu were very proficient, and they were killed by Chigutai without realizing it.

The five hundred cavalry of Chigutai approached the county seat of Jiaxiang, but did not enter the city, but shouted outside the city, "The cavalry of the Ming army is coming, support immediately!" ”

The Tartars guarding the granary of the county town couldn't tell the difference between the real and the fake, and asked at the head of the city, "How many Ming troops are pursuing?" ”

Chigutai shouted, "Two thousand, go out of the city to support." ”

The Tartar commander defending the city looked from afar, and the dust was flying in the distance, and there was indeed a team of Ming troops chasing and killing. Goodbye to the people of Chigutai, untidy clothes, and the military flag was also crooked, it seemed that they were pursued by the Ming army behind them and fled in embarrassment.

The commander of the Tartars defending the city sneered and said, "Five hundred Qing warriors would be afraid of two thousand southern soldiers, and it would be embarrassing." ”

He shouted at the Tartar soldiers behind him and said, "Brothers, the opportunity for meritorious service has come, only one hundred-man team will be left to defend the city, and the rest will all get on their horses and go out of the city to defeat the Ming army!" ”

The Manchu cavalry of the three Niu Lu quickly assembled and drove out of Jiaxiang County.

The Tartar commander rode out first, shouting at Chigutai and saying, "What is useless, go back to the city to defend the city, and come to dispose of you after the battle." ”

Chigutai only agreed, and ordered the Xuanjia army under his command to make way for the Tartar commanders, and these Tartar soldiers rushed over.

Seeing that the Tartar commander had gone away, Chigutai sent two hundred people into the county seat of Jiaxiang County according to the previous plan, went directly to the city wall, three against one, and slaughtered dozens of Tartar soldiers on the city wall.

The Tartar soldiers stationed at the city gate guard realized that something was wrong, and it was too late to close the city gate, Chigutai had already occupied the city gate, and the remaining dozens of Tartar soldiers immediately retreated in the direction of the granary, wanting to rely on the terrain of the granary and hold on to wait for reinforcements.

Chigutai had no interest in exterminating these trapped Tartar soldiers at all, and his plan with Fang Yuan was to attack back and forth and annihilate the three Tartar soldiers of Niu Lu who had left the city with a light enemy.

Fang Yuan saw that the Tartar commander of Jiaxiang County was really deceived, and rushed with nearly a thousand people to kill, and immediately ordered to stop the pursuit, and 1,500 musketeers were divided into five teams to meet the enemy in a formation of five sections.

When the Tartars entered the range of the firearms, the Xuanjia army fired thousands of guns, first the three-eyed guns to disturb the enemy, then the birds, and finally the thunderbolts, all of which shot at the galloping Tartar cavalry.

The Tartar commander did not expect that the firepower of the Ming army would be so fierce, and all kinds of firearms appeared in an endless stream, and after several rounds of shooting, two or three hundred people had been wounded and killed.

The Tatar leader was already difficult to ride a tiger, gritted his teeth, and ordered the Tatar cavalry to rush forward, as long as they could rush to the Ming army, it would be a victory.

It was impossible for the muskets of this era to withstand the impact of the cavalry, and after two rounds of five-stage strikes, five hundred Manchu iron cavalry had been killed in front of the battle, and Fang Yuan immediately ordered the musketeers to put on their bayonets and prepare for hand-to-hand combat with the Tartar soldiers.

The two teams finally met in close quarters and fought together, and the battle was very fierce.

The Tartar commander had just barely reached a few convergences, but he heard a dense sound of fire behind him, and the men and horses behind him were still falling off their horses and dying.

He hurriedly raised his eyes to look, and it was the previous team of soldiers with the Blue Flag who had killed him from behind.

The Tartar commander knew that he had fallen into the trick of the Ming army, and he was attacked from front to back in front of him, and the Tartar cavalry that brought out three Niu Lu had been damaged for most of them, and only one Niu Lu could not be left.

The Tartar commander has lost his ground, attacking forward, there are bayonets in front of the Ming army's firearms, the so-called inch strong and inch strong, the sabre of the Manchu cavalry is quite difficult to deal with, and even falls behind, and it is a fool's dream to break through.

Retreating, the battle is already in a stalemate ahead, and ordering to change the direction of attack at this time will only lead to faster and worse defeat.

Thinking that he had lost hundreds of cavalry today, and that he would definitely die if he returned, he was so fierce that he immediately drew his saber and led the only remaining hundred cavalry to turn around and kill the pursuing Chigutai.

After withstanding two rounds of gunfire from the Xuanjia Army, he finally led forty or fifty people to Chigutai to kill, but it was already the end of the crossbow.

Chigutai took the lead, and did not use any bayonets, but directly raised his saber and slashed the leading Tartar commander. As soon as the sabers of the two were exchanged, the Tartar leader was thrown off his horse by a huge force, and in an instant he was trampled into a pulp by the hooves of the passing horses.

The dragons were leaderless, and this trapped beast fighting Tartar soldiers were annihilated by the Xuanjia Army after a few rounds.

At the time of Chigutai's complete victory, Fang Yuan's fierce battle was also coming to an end, and none of the Tartar soldiers who were caught in the front and rear surrendered until the last person was killed in the battle.

Fang Yuan ordered Chigutai to count the casualties, this battle, because the Tartar soldiers were trapped before their deaths, the Xuanjia army suffered a lot of losses, 43 people were killed, and more than 100 people were injured, which can be said to be the biggest loss since the start of the war.

Fang Yuan was furious, and immediately led the army into Jiaxiang County, ordered the military doctor to immediately wound the soldiers, and led the Xuanjia army to attack the fifty or sixty Tartar soldiers who were still resisting stubbornly in the granary.

The Tartar soldiers kept shooting arrows out of the wall and resisted stubbornly, but Fang Yuan did not attack, and immediately ordered the Xuanjia army to bring fire oil and attack back with rockets.

After a few rounds of back and forth between the two sides, the granary was already filled with smoke and a fire.

The Xuanjia army was held outside the granary, and the fire burned for a whole day and night, and thick black smoke rose into the sky.

By the afternoon of the next day, the fire had finally been slowly extinguished, and the granary containing 2,000 stone of military rations had been burned down by Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan ordered the Xuanjia army to enter the granary to kill the enemy, but found that dozens of Tartar soldiers had been burned to death in the granary, and dozens of charred corpses still retained the state of painful struggle before death.
