1304 There is a great thing

In the order issued by Li Dingguo in advance, there was a requirement that after attacking the camp and causing chaos, he must focus on attacking those large yurts, which are located in the middle. And where the king's tent is, he personally led the army to attack directly.

Under the moonlight, seeing that there were a large number of people surrounding there, and those Khalkha people who had originally blocked him also gathered there, Li Dingguo immediately made a decision and shouted loudly: "Gather fire and attack!" ”

This term was learned in the new barracks.

I saw him quickly ignite a rocket and shoot it quickly towards the crowd gathering place. A firelight flew up, a bright arc, which attracted people's attention.

All the soldiers of the Ming army in the vicinity, when they saw it, immediately threw arrows over there. He fired like an arrow, and then quickly took out the flintlock pistol, which had already been filled with gunpowder, and shot at the people on the other side without aim.

The sound of "babble" finally sounded in the camp, and as soon as people heard it, they knew the sound of muskets firing. This sound all proved that this was the Ming army that frightened them in the nightmare, and suddenly, the gunfire intensified the rout of the Khalkha people.

Some people got out of the yurt and ran away without weapons at all, and some people even thought about running for their lives before they even got their clothes on. Some, if they were lucky, grabbed a horse and immediately fled on horseback; And some people can't find the horse in time at all, so they can only spread their feet and run on two legs, just thinking about escaping here as soon as possible.

On Li Dingguo's side, after the fire, he saw that few of those people could still stand. But he still refused to let go, and immediately grabbed the riding gun and rushed over with his men. Then he rushed to the next crowd and then to the next crowd......

Wherever there is a crowd gathering, it is the target of their attack, and what he wants is that there will be no more enemies gathering.

By the time Li Dingguo led his men to pursue and kill the scattered soldiers, the sky was shining and a new day had arrived.

But in this place, it's a mess. Some yurts are still on fire, while others are burned out, and only the smoke rises to the sky. On the ground, there were corpses lying there, and rivers of blood flowed; Countless cattle, horses, and sheep escaped from the fence and scattered throughout the camp, and of course, some fled further.

Among these cattle and sheep, many of them are still tied to torches, which attracts the surrounding cattle and sheep to look sideways and dare not approach.

These cattle and sheep are actually the cattle and sheep that Li Dingguo encountered before, and he ordered at that time that the elite would not be collected for 800 nights and surrounded them, and not a single Khalkha person was let go, and then he collected them and made enough simple torches to help the cattle and sheep. And left a hundred cavalry, and agreed that the fire where the enemy camp was located would be the signal, and the cavalry left behind would light these torches and drive these cattle and sheep in the direction of the camp, creating the illusion that the army was marching towards the camp at night.

Judging from the after-effects, the effect of this trick is very good, and it is the main reason for finally forcing the Khalkha people to disperse, and it is also the greatest guarantee for the victory of this war!

Until noon the next day, the Ming army, which had dispersed the pursuit of a group of 100 people, returned to the camp as agreed. After a busy battle all night and a day, even if the iron body is beaten, it is a little tired.

However, the soldiers of the Ming army were very excited one by one, and when they saw each other, they all asked loudly about the situation, and their tones were full of elation.

At the place where the fire was gathered last night, Li Dingguo was here, and he was just as excited, listening to the surviving Khalkha captives, and identified one of the corpses with arrows stuck in his body, which was their Great Khan Norbu. Obviously, he was surrounded in the middle last night, which happened to be the most important place for the soldiers of the Ming army to take care of, and he ended up so unlucky.

The confirmation of the killing of Norbu was the greatest victory of the war. As for the others, the various groups of Ming troops who returned were also reporting to Li Dingguo. At this moment, they all admired Li Dingguo very much! Sure enough, it was the emperor's valued person who could grasp this fighter sharply and lead them to defeat tens of thousands of enemies with 800 people! This kind of ability can really be compared to the famous general that has been passed down through the ages, the hussar general of the Han Dynasty!

The results of the battle were probably confirmed, and the six groups of Ming troops who pursued out, divided into different directions, all killed rivers of blood, and did not encounter any resistance.

Looking at the mess in the camp in front of him, Li Dingguo looked up at the sun that was not warm at all, his face was calm, and his age seemed a little unconvinced, and said calmly: "Those Khalkha people who did not have war horses scattered were driven far enough by us, without food or clothing, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive in this weather." After this battle, the Khalkha tribe was finished. We ...... this time"

Speaking of this, a smile finally appeared on his face, and he raised his arms and shouted, "Great victory!" ”

"Big win!" When the soldiers of the Ming army around him heard this, they immediately shouted one by one, and they also raised their arms and shouted, releasing the excitement in their hearts, "Great victory, great victory......

There are only 800 cavalry troops, and they are all tribes of middle-aged men against tens of thousands of grassland opponents, although under the encouragement of Li Dingguo in advance, they feel that this battle can be fought and it is possible to win. Under the military order, under the stimulation of his wife and grandson, and the glory of his ancestors, he did it with his head.

Now the dust has settled, and there is a big victory! When a heart is put down, it is natural to be very happy. Even if they don't read much, and even many of them haven't listened to the lectures of the prison army, everyone knows that this battle will definitely go down in history! It is almost comparable to the results of the most proud battle of the hussar general, and it is estimated that after returning home, all the comrades will die of envy!

This battle is worth it! There is such a battle in the military experience, and you can be proud of it for a lifetime when you go back!

And at this moment, those Oirat Mongols did not accept the night, and in addition, there was another gratification: the last Khalkha enemies were defeated by their 800 people, and it can be regarded as a part of the revenge for those dead relatives and clansmen.

Seeing that both the general flag and the ordinary soldiers were cheering happily, Li Dingguo was young, but he was the first to return to normal. He immediately asked about his own casualties. According to the statistics, twenty-three people were killed and seventy-eight were wounded! Most of these casualties were those that had just begun to storm the Khalkha camp until the enemy broke down.

When Li Dingguo heard this, he went to deal with the aftermath of those soldiers who died in battle, checked on the wounded, personally condoled them, and even saw that the bandaging of the wounded made him not satisfied, so he personally untied them and re-bandaged them, all until he was satisfied.

Watching Li Dingguo's every move, the Ming army did not accept them at night, and they were all convinced by him! From this moment on, in their hearts, they no longer respect Li Dingguo because of his past. If Li Dingguo issued any orders to them at this time, there was no need to talk about his past experience.

After being busy for a while, burning everything that could be burned, the soldiers of the Ming army were ordered by Li Dingguo to drive the captured cattle, horses and sheep, and take the remains of their comrades to the east. Before leaving, Li Dingguo used the photo function of the chat group to take a lot of photos of everything in front of him and passed them to Tianxing, and attached a simple story and results of the war.

At this time, Yang Sichang was discussing the war with Man Gui for the coming year, and he felt a little tricky. I heard him say to Man Gui: "The west side is too far away, and we don't know much about the situation over there. However, there are people over there who are familiar with our Daming, at least the people of the Khalkha tribe know more about our Daming. According to the emperor's intentions, there will be an expedition next year, are you sure? ”

"Don't worry, my lord, my Ming is unprecedentedly powerful." Man Gui replied confidently, "The last general started from a small soldier, and I haven't seen anything in the army." Now the morale, equipment, rewards and punishments of our Ming army, no matter what kind of enemy he is, the last general believes that it will not be my Ming opponent! ”

Hearing him say this, Yang Sichang's worries were a little better. After all, Man Gui is indeed as he said, he was promoted from a small soldier all the way to the general soldier, and then made an earl, and his credit is all from real military achievements.

He was thinking about it, but Man Gui frowned and said: "But what the adults said is also reasonable, the enemy situation is unknown, and it will have an impact on our army's offensive next year!" The night sent out before was not collected, and it should be able to bring back some news! ”

When Yang Sichang heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This official can't understand why the emperor values that Li Dingguo so much, and he actually wants this official to train him well!" This time I went west to explore the military situation, I don't know if I can get the expected news! ”

Speaking of which, he even thought, could it be that Li Dingguo is the emperor's illegitimate son outside? However, it is impossible to think about the age of two people! But no matter what, anyway, the emperor attaches so much importance to this Li Dingguo, which makes him a little jealous in his heart.

When Man Gui heard this, he replied bluntly: "This little guy is also a powerful guy, and he can talk about everything about war. If you just talk about it, you won't be able to talk about him anyway. When he has more experience in the future and gets older, I believe that he will be my famous general! ”

"Ah, I'm afraid he's just a bombastic Zhao Kuo!" Yang Sichang commented, frowned and sighed, "He can have news to report directly, but there has been no movement these days, which makes the official a little worried!" ”

After finishing speaking, he entered the chat group to read the news. It's okay not to look at it, but when I looked at it, I just saw the news sent back by Li Dingguo. Unexpectedly, I was stunned there.

This made Man Gui, who had been looking at him, a little strange, I didn't know what I thought, his face suddenly showed a worried look, and he hurriedly shouted: "My lord, what's wrong?" My lord, it shouldn't have been an accident when you didn't collect it at night, right? No news in a few days? ”

After asking several questions in a row, Yang Sichang withdrew from the chat group, looked at Man Gui with a shocked face, and said, "Li Dingguo has news!" ”

"Are you alright?" When Man Gui saw it, he asked a little worriedly.

"There's something, there's something big!" Yang Sichang was still full of shock, and replied to Man Gui's question, "I didn't expect him to be so bold, just his eight hundred horsemen, he took the initiative to attack more than 10,000 tribes of the Khalkha tribe......"

"What?" When Man Gui heard this, he was startled and said loudly, "Why are you so reckless?" More daring than me! So how? Did you escape? ”

Yang Sichang still can't believe it, but it's also a loss that there is a picture, he repeatedly confirmed that it is true, but he still replied in disbelief: "Don't run away, he won." Since the puppet Khan Norbu, there are more than 3,000 heads, and the rest of the Khalkha people have fled into the wasteland in all directions, and they will not survive for a few days. Since then, there have been no Khalkha tribes. ”

"What?" When Man Gui heard this, he was taken aback again, he couldn't believe it, and repeated: "Li Dingguo, with 800 cavalry, actually defeated the remaining more than 10,000 horses in Norbu? This...... Is this true? ”

"It's true! He now took Norbu's head with him, and drove the captured cattle, horses, and sheep in triumph. It is estimated that in half a month, you will be able to see it. Yang Sichang didn't seem to come back to his senses until now, and he didn't know what he said.

After finishing speaking, he had to sigh with emotion: "They are all seventeen years old, the same eight hundred horsemen, one to destroy the royal court, and the other to destroy the enemy clan, the results are all brilliant and dazzling!" It is really the hussar general of Ming, the emperor's eyes are like a torch, and the official is not as good as him! ”

At this moment, Yang Sichang's vision of Emperor Chongzhen is convincing. You know, even a Ming general like Man Gui, who rose from a small soldier, never thought that there would be such a thing, or rather, such a result, just in the Ming Dynasty, who can have it? However, the emperor believed in Li Dingguo and intended to cultivate him. It is precisely because of the emperor's cultivation and promotion that Li Dingguo, who is only seventeen years old, can have the opportunity to create a great record of the Ming Dynasty against the enemy. From now on, when future generations mention the hussar general, I am afraid that Li Dingguo's name will not be missing!

After hearing Yang Sichang's confirmed words, Man Gui was also very shocked, he thought about it for a while, and immediately hugged his fists and asked Yang Sichang for his life: "My lord, the last general is willing to lead the army west to respond!" ”

He couldn't sit still, he couldn't wait to go to the west at this time, see Li Dingguo, and ask him, how did this battle go, you are only a little old, why are you so powerful?

After this period of buffering, Yang Sichang also recovered a little. Hearing Man Gui's request, he thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "This battle will be of great significance to my Ming Dynasty's westward expedition in the coming year." Now that the weather is about to freeze, it is indeed not easy to drive away the captured cattle, horses and sheep. Then it's up to you to take care of it, and you won't have any surprises. This war must end in its entirety! ”

When Man Gui heard this, he immediately shouted his order, and then, turning around and striding away, he looked like he didn't want to wait for a moment.

Yang Sichang didn't care, but immediately entered the chat group, and he wanted to congratulate the emperor. This matter, no matter what, is a great victory for his command!
