Chapter 113: Journey to the East (4)

The efficiency of the ancients was low, and it was not until the third day that the casualty data was finally counted, and what shocked Zhao Kang was that his army had killed more than 1,000 people in battle, and even more were injured, nearly 3,000. Fortunately, most of them were minor injuries, so after a simple bandage, and then taking two amoxicillin pills brought by Zhao Kang from modern times, they could continue to fight again.

As for those who were seriously injured and died in battle, they all need Zhao Kang's compensation pension, it's okay to die, but if they don't die, they have to arrange jobs and assign wives to others, which is a lot of expenses.

Listening to the wails and screams of those wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks, Zhao Kang blamed himself very much, he really underestimated the enemy. I thought that the loader would open the way and the infantry would cover and kill, and they could almost sweep this era bloodlessly, but I didn't expect that even the real Jurchen Tartars would be encountered, and there would be casualties.

Just when Zhao Kang was depressed, Chen Erdian came to ask: "Uncle Zhao, what should you do with those captured Mongols?" ”

Zhao Kang said: "Then do you still need to ask?" This is Mongolia! Of course, we have to deal with them according to the rules of the Mongolians, although we are people with high intelligence, high quality, and high taste, we still have to respect the customs, culture and traditional etiquette of the minority [people]. ”

Chen Erdian asked suspiciously: "The rules of the Mongols? What rules? ”

Zhao Kang said: "You just compare the wheels of your Land Rover chariot, and kill all the wheels that are taller than the wheels." ”

Chen Erdian said: "But Uncle Zhao, all the captives this time are adult Mongolians, and all of them are taller than wheels." ”

Zhao Kang said: "Then kill them all!" This is a great rule left by their ancestor Genghis Khan, and we can't mess around on other people's territory, we have to do things according to the fine traditions passed down from their ancestors. Don't ask me about this kind of thing in the future, just follow this rule. ”

Chen Erdian continued to ask, "What about those women and children? ”

Zhao Kang said: "Aren't there many single soldiers of our Eighth Route Army who are injured and discharged, just ask them to choose one to be their wives." As for the children and the women who were not wanted by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, they were dragged to the coal mines in Dongsheng and Yulin to comfort the miners. According to the appearance and figure, the price is clearly marked, there are so many singles in those places, and there are always people who are willing to buy one to go home as a wife. Children should be included in gifts, buy one get one free, how good is it to be a ready-made father? ”

"Yes! Uncle Zhao! ”

Chen Erdian retreated just now, and Wang Fuchen ran in in a hurry: "Uncle Zhao, it's not good!" ”

Because his subordinates suffered too many casualties, he was upset and angry, and Zhao Kang scolded: "What's wrong?" Nema is dead? ”

Wang Fuchen said: "No, Uncle Zhao. News came from the front that the prince of Temur and General Abnei led the army to pursue the herdsmen of the Zhaowuda League all the way to the territory of Horqin. At the beginning, it was very smooth, intercepting and killing several waves of people along the way, but as soon as he crossed the Alu Horqin Banner and entered the territory of Horqin, he was ambushed by an army of 30,000 led by Borzigit-Chahan of the Horqin Division. Temur and Abneh were defeated, pursued for 300 miles, and fled directly to the Alu Korqin Banner to stabilize, and the 15,000-strong army lost more than half of it, leaving only about 7,000 men. ”

Zhao Kang scolded in his heart: Hemp, two straw bales! A Yulin brand scimitar, a Yulin brand compound bow, 100 Yulin brand arrows, the whole body is armed from the top of the head to the heart of the foot, and it will lose so badly, it is simply two superb.

Zhao Kang asked, "Aren't most of the soldiers in the Horqin Department transferred to Liaodong by Huang Taiji?" How can you still get an army of 30,000 out? ”

Wang Fuchen said: "Since the fall of Lin Dan Khan, the Horqin tribe has become the largest tribe in Mongolia, with six banners in Horqin, two banners in Gollus, and one banner in Zhagaite; Dulbert is one banner and one banner, these ten banners form the Zhelimu League, with the Horqin tribal patriarch Sanzai-Buhe as the leader of the alliance, occupying the grasslands with the most abundant water and grass in the west of Mongolia, and there are two generations of chieftains of the pseudo-Qing Nuer Hachi and Huangtaiji chieftains, so the people are prosperous and the power is extremely strong. Unlike the perennial war-torn Chahar and the barren Ordos, the entire Zhelimu League's Ten Banners add up to no less than hundreds of thousands, even if Huang Taiji dispatched 30,000 elite soldiers to the south, it is really at a critical juncture of survival, with the Mongol tradition of all the soldiers, it is not impossible to temporarily form an army of tens of thousands, or even 100,000 people. ”

Zhao Kang asked again, "How is the situation over there Hong Chengchou?" Is there any news coming? ”

Wang Fuchen said: "There is no news for the time being, but I heard that the court sent the superintendent Yang Shenwu and Fan Zhiwan to Liaodong to save Lord Hong, the two only gathered troops, but did not dare to fight, only sent the deputy general Jiao Yin to lead 3,000 troops to save Jinzhou, but was defeated as soon as he came out of Shanhaiguan. ”

Zhao Kang was very puzzled: "Aren't the puppet Qing armies all gathered in the Jinzhou area?" From Jinzhou to Shanhaiguan is at least more than 300 miles, and there is a Ningyuan City in the middle that has not yet fallen, how did those Tartar Eight Banners soldiers who ambushed Jiao Wei get to Shanhaiguan? ”

Wang Fuchen said: "I am also very puzzled. However, I heard that Jiao Yin led 3,000 elite soldiers to be besieged by tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Eight Banners, and the deputy general Jiao Yin took the lead bravely, and fought with the Tartars for three days and three nights. However, the last general also heard that General Jiao led 3,000 people when he left Shanhaiguan, and after three days and three nights of fighting, there were still 3,000 people who fled back to Shanhaiguan. Therefore, the last general judged that this was a false war report. It is estimated that Inspector Fan did not dare to fight with the Tartars, so he had to come up with this strategy to deceive the court. ”

Zhao Kang thought to himself: This Fan Zhiwan Fan Inspector has to be a little liar even if he wants to deceive, is it okay? I really don't have the consciousness of a liar at all. But think about it, with Chongzhen's IQ, there is no need for any high-end deception, this is enough. In a word, you love to believe it or not, and you don't believe it. What can you do if you don't believe me? As for the current situation in Liaodong, it will be the same for whoever is sent. At least Fan Zhiintact still has the courage to go to Shanhaiguan to squat, and if someone else might not even dare to go out of Beijing City.

Zhao Kang immediately wrote a war report: the Mongol governor Zhao Kang personally led an army of 100,000 to attack the Tatar hinterland, but he encountered the 800,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners led by Huang Taiji himself in the Alu Korqin Banner. Ten days and ten nights of fierce fighting.

Governor Zhao Kang did not defend his armor for ten days and ten nights, and personally led the six major generals under his command, the prince of Temur, and the general Abunai to charge Huang Taiji's position 28 times, personally killing 327 Eight Banner Tartars, killing a total of 200,000 enemies and beheading 10,000. However, the enemy has too many troops and a strong will to fight, in order to prevent the rear of the army from being cut off and the tragedy of Songshan is staged, he has now retreated to the front banner of the left flank of Chahar.
