Seven hundred and sixteen their gall was broken
When the war was in full swing, a large number of northern captives fell into a collapse of despair because of the superior performance of the Ming army and scattered in all directions, Xiao Ruxun saw this situation, and decisively ordered each general to lead the men and horses to pursue separately, not allowed to run far, limited to two days and one night, scattered and pursued.
The Liaodong cavalry led by Li Rusong won the most, and when they came back, some people had two horses, some people had three horses, and the horses were loaded with grain, goods, heads, and even living people, driving a large number of cattle, sheep and horses back with a full load.
Li Rusong cut off more than 30 heads by himself, and the four horses were full of his personal trophies, and his personal bravery was unobstructed.
The second place is Nurhachi's Jurchen elite horse, this time, he is bloody, in order to let his son get better treatment in order to tie up the best general of the Ming Empire, Nurhachi spared no effort to brush up on Xiao Ruxun's favor, but this does not mean that he does not want benefits.
This time, Xiao Ruxun issued a military order to allow the army to be captured by himself, and he did not need to obey the military order, but he was happy to be bound for too long and was about to be suffocated.
Naturally, they also gained the most, food and goods, full of animal skin and bone products on horseback, as well as living people, of course, more heads, the Ming army still counted heads, and the rest were their own goods and distributed by themselves.
Anyway, it's a lot of money.
The third is a bit unexpected, it is a Yulin cavalry team, second only to Li Rusong and Nurhachi in terms of the number of victories, not only that, but also brought back the largest herd of cattle, sheep and horses in the whole army, Xiao Ruxun feels that with these strategic material reserves, as long as the weapons and armor are enough, it is okay to carry out another expedition to hit the lair of the northern captives.
All in all, the troops scattered out to pursue the northern captives won a lot, and two hours after the return of Li Rumei's troops, the statistics of the results of the battle were almost out, and the heads of the beheaded strong men in this raid alone were 517,863, and the rest of the heads of the old and weak women and children were 65,476.
In this way, it is equivalent to the average that each Ming sergeant has beheaded nearly three northern captives.
This is a human head, and the other northern captives who died in various ways, or the corpses were tattered, or the heads had no time to be cleaned up, and there were even more corpses exposed in the wilderness, and there were too many to count.
The armies themselves couldn't tell how many northern captives they had killed, and Xiao Ruxun didn't know how many northern captives had been in Naturalized City before he killed them.
Everyone only knows that this battle is a hearty and complete victory, and after this battle, for a long time, no northern captives in this area will dare to go south.
Their guts were broken.
The losses of the Ming army were relatively insignificant.
The battle losses of the Ming army in the raid on Guihua City were about 3,000 people, and more than 500 people were lost during the pursuit.
In this battle, the Ming army captured more than 50,000 livestock in one go.
These 50,000 heads are not counting war horses, they are all cattle and sheep, and a large number of cattle and sheep belonging to the Beiyu tribe around Guihua City were plundered by the Ming army, and a considerable number of them died in the war.
This time, the Beiyu lost both human lives and livestock, and they lost everything, and what they looted and what they originally had, basically all of them were returned to the Ming army.
Not to mention the tents, those gold and silver jewelry, those bone products, those leather products, those animal products that can be exchanged for a lot of wealth in the Central Plains, etc., were all pocketed by the Ming army.
The Ming army, from the generals to the soldiers, all felt the joy and huge profits of the war, and felt that the war could bring such a lot of wealth, if every battle in the future can obtain such a huge amount of wealth like this time, then what battle can not be fought?
After the return, the soldiers of the Ming army who were extremely sleepy fell asleep one after another, and many of them woke up after sleeping for a day and a night, so that the celebration meeting was held three days later.
Although the soldiers knew that it was their own and it didn't matter if they killed casually, they also knew that some people couldn't kill casually, such as those guys who looked rich and even gorgeous, they were not ordinary people at first glance, they were head people, this kind of people were better captured alive than killed, and the effect was better if they were dedicated to Xiao Ruxun.
So Xiao Ruxun got more than a hundred prisoners of war at the level of the head of the big man in one go, all of them looked panicked, it is estimated that except for the extremely beautiful annihilation battles fought by Xu Dalanyu and others at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and captured so many northern nobles, the Ming army really did not have an example of catching so many northern nobles at one time.
These people represent not only money, but also status, these guys who represent status and wealth themselves can also be exchanged for the same status and wealth in the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming army has more than 200 more than 1,000 guerrilla generals and even generals in one day.
The newly promoted officers were satisfied, and Xiao Ruxun was also very happy, he didn't expect these soldiers to be so sensible, and they actually knew to capture these important leaders to please themselves during the interval of wanton killing.
It's probably the idea of reciprocating the favor, and when you're full, you can't watch the coach who feeds you hungry, so you leave the best for the coach.
More than 100 northern nobles at the level of the leader of the people, this brilliant result may be more important in a sense than the heads of more than 50,000 young and strong people in the north, which is an unusual symbol.
From them, a bright future, power, and status can be reflected, and there is no one who will not be ecstatic about it.
These people are better left to the emperor to dispose of.
It must be a big head at the sacrifice ceremony, but first select some small heads and give them to the emperor, so that the emperor who has been in anger and depressed all the year round can vent and vent his anger frantically, isn't it beautiful?
Anyway, in the Ming Dynasty, it was a very politically correct thing to deal with the northern captives, let alone so many leaders.
In this way, the emperor is happy, his position is more stable, his prestige is unshakable, and those civil officials want to do it to themselves, they have to take care of their catties!
A famous general of the country who has just won such a great victory for the country, do you dare to act rashly?
Aren't you afraid of criticism?
Are you guys who want fame, face, and going crazy embarrassed to say something in front of so many people?
