"Papapa~"

"Uh-huh~"

"Ah~"

。 Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info。。。。。

Under the light of the fire, the crackling sound of firewood burning and painful moans could be heard from time to time in the prisoner camp in the north corner of the temporary tent outside Pingluo Village.

Covered in blood, the exhausted Mintae sat on the edge, his injured right arm leaning limply on his right leg, and the red blood had already penetrated the gauze that wrapped his right arm.

Looking around, more than 800 soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner in the entire camp were scattered all over the camp, almost all of them were wounded like him, and some of the most serious injuries were even dying, and their mouths were moaning in pain from time to time.

Most of them still have a dazed, sluggish look on their faces, as if they have not yet recovered from the blow of defeat.

Looking at the silent and decadent crowd, the corners of Mintae's mouth couldn't help but show a wry smile.

Isn't his heart still in confusion!

Not long ago, he also led the Eight Banners athletes under his command to gallop across the country, and the forces of Daxi that were as strong as Zhang Xianzhong were also wiped out under their iron hooves.

Since entering Yongzhou, the army of the Thirty-two Villages Alliance has been even more powerless in front of them, and has not encountered a trace of resistance along the way.

Who would have thought, but in the blink of an eye, the situation has taken a sharp turn.

In the first battle of Pingluo, the 4,000 Eight Banners Iron Cavalry and 20,000 slave troops under Nikan were all defeated, and even the Dutong Nikan himself was killed on the spot, and the wounded were unfortunately taken prisoner by the enemy.

Such a huge change was not acceptable to Mintae for a while.

In this battle, Sima Yu withstood the attack of the Nikan army with 12,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.

When the Jinyi Guard, under the leadership of Sima Yu, stubbornly withstood the assault of the Bayala soldiers led by Nikan, the outcome of the entire battle was already doomed.

After nearly half an hour of fierce fighting, the remaining 300 Eight Banner soldiers were finally killed under the leadership of Wu Song, Wutu Gu, Huang Jingtian, Gu Changfeng, and Sima Yu.

More than 100 Bayala soldiers were all killed in the battle, none of them surrendered, and Nikan himself died under Huang Jingtian's sword.

After Nikan's defeat, the remaining soldiers and slave troops of the Eight Banners were also routed under the continuous assault of the Guards Cavalry, and only more than 800 of the 3,000 Eight Banners Iron Cavalry were wounded and captured, and almost all the others were killed, and only a few dozen horsemen escaped.

More than 4,000 of the 16,000 slave troops were killed, nearly 10,000 were captured, and the rest were scattered.

Of course, while achieving such a major victory, the armies under Sima Yu naturally paid a heavy price.

As the main force, the Shaoshan Battalion lost more than 1,000 people and more than 600 wounded in the frontal battle of the Nikan Army, and its combat effectiveness was reduced by more than one-third.

Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers mainly suffered a lot of losses in the battle with the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, while the guards battalion under Huang Jingtian suffered heavy losses in the battle besieging Bayala soldiers.

The 1,500 guards suffered more than 600 casualties in the continuous assault for one hour, including more than 40 armored cavalry, most of whom died after falling from their horses after their horses ran out of physical strength and fell from their horses during the charge.

Otherwise, it would not be easy to deal with them with the defense of armored cavalry and the equipment in the hands of the soldiers and slaves of the Eight Banners.

As for the Jinyi Guard, who fought the final decisive battle with the 1,000 Eight Banner Iron Cavalry led by Nikan, they directly lost more than 1,100 people, almost all of whom were killed in the final battle with the remaining more than 300 Eight Banner soldiers.

If it weren't for the fact that he had killed two-thirds of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry with the Great Yellow Crossbow at the beginning, the outcome of this battle would have been rewritten.

Through this battle, the power of the crossbowmen and the strength of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry were fully revealed.

In the entire battle of Pingluo, Sima Yu lost more than 4,500 people, and a battalion of troops was knocked out at once.

In the main tent of the Chinese army, Sima Yu, who was covered with gauze, sat on the main seat, and below was the generals of the battalions under his command.

In the afternoon battle, under the desperate attack of the Ba Ya Lama soldiers under Nikan's command at the end, they were almost overturned.

Fortunately, under Sima Yu's led resistance, he finally withstood the pressure and annihilated it.

However, it also paid a heavy price, the newly established Jinyi Guard was disabled, Sima Yu almost died in the formation several times, and he was stabbed several times all over his body, especially the knife in the chest and abdomen If it went a little deeper, I am afraid it would have taken his life.

"Changfeng, tomorrow I will lead all the troops back to Qilin City, and you will stay behind to deal with the follow-up matters in Jumei County, and I will leave the guards to you to cooperate to stabilize the situation."

After listening to the statistical reports of Wang Yanzhang, Gu Changfeng, Huang Jingtian, Qin Liangyu and others, Sima Yu said to Gu Changfeng.

With the defeat of the Nikan army, the entire southeastern part of Jumei County east of Wayaogou Pass had been brought under Sima Yu's command, and the remaining small number of Eight Banner soldiers and slave troops who had fled could no longer pose a threat.

After the invasion of the Nikan army, the four towns and 17 villages in the southeast have been seriously damaged, especially in the two days when the grain and grass were cut off, it has intensified the destruction of the surrounding villages and towns by the Qing army, according to the news from the Jinyi Wei guard, there are only about 50,000 people in this area of nearly 800 square kilometers.

You must know that most of the southeast of Jumei County is a huge basin adjacent to the Changxi River, and most of the area in the area is a plain area, which is suitable for cultivating fertile land and planting grain, vegetables and other crops.

Therefore, it is imperative to stabilize and restore the livelihood of the people in the southeastern part of Jumei County after the war.

Now, Sima Yu has been away from Qilin City for several months, and as the lord of one side, if he does not return to the center of power for a long time, there will inevitably be chaos, and it is impossible for him to continue to stay here.

Moreover, all the battalions under his command were heavily damaged after this battle and urgently needed to recover, so Sima Yu decided to lead the crowd back to Qilin City tomorrow.

As for the responsibility of staying behind, among the generals below, only Gu Changfeng, who had been a brocade guard and was good at change, could do it.

However, this is also a temporary move, Gu Changfeng, who is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is also unlikely to stay outside for a long time, he needs to follow Sima Yu and serve Sima Yu at any time, and after returning to Qilin, Sima Yu will immediately select a suitable person to take over his work.

The task of leaving him here is mainly to exterminate the remaining Qing army, stabilize the situation, and create conditions for the rapid restoration of people's livelihood in the southeast of Jumei County.

"Yes, my lord!"

When Gu Changfeng heard this, he quickly received the order.

On the second day, early in the morning, the Qilin army in Pingluo Village escorted the captives under the command of the generals to the direction of Shiyuan Village, preparing to return to Qilin City by land through Dongliu Town.

As for the sailors under Yu Dayou, they returned to Qilin City along the river alone.

Now, with the captured soldiers of the Eight Banners and the slave soldiers, the entire team has more than 15,000 people, and it is impossible to carry all of them back with the sailors under the command of Yu Dayou.

At the same time, in the Battle of Pingluo, the news that Sima Yu led his troops to defeat the Nikan army also quickly spread to the ears of some well-intentioned people.
