"Who among you are Han?" Yuan Chonghuan yelled at the wounded soldiers all over the ground.

"I am, I am!" The injured Han Jun felt that there was hope of survival, and they all raised their right hands to signal to Yuan Chonghuan.

Yuan Chonghuan pointed to the left: "Okay, you all go to the left." ”

The wounded Han soldiers moved to the left, and some of the seriously wounded Han soldiers could no longer stand, so they had to crawl to the left behind their companions, leaving pools of blood in the open space behind them.

The wounded soldiers of Jiannu and the wounded soldiers of Mongolia seemed to understand something, and they shouted at the Han soldiers one after another: "These Han dogs ......"

A wounded Mongol soldier, gathering the last ounce of strength in his life, staggered to his feet and suddenly stabbed his scimitar at a wounded Han soldier who was crawling.

A knife pierced his heart, and he didn't come out of his body, and the thick blood mist sprayed his head and face......

"Niang Xipi!" Li Xing was furious and cut off the head of the Mongol soldier with a single sword.

After all the wounded soldiers of the Han army who could move moved to the left side, Yuan Chonghuan made a gesture of chopping off Li Xing's head: "The rest of the wounded soldiers, all cut off their heads." ”

The soldiers of the 1st Brigade were accustomed to decapitation, and they skillfully formed a trio and began to harvest hundreds of soldiers on the ground, regardless of dead or wounded, regardless of race.

The wounded soldiers of the Han army were dumbfounded, and when they killed their opponents, the cruelty of the Han people was no less than that of Jiannu and Mongolia, as long as they had the strength and opportunity to kill their opponents.

Yuan Chonghuan calmly faced the wounded soldiers of the Han army: "Since you have joined the army of Jiannu, you are the enemy of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"General, we are all forced!"

"General, my family still has parents, wives and children to raise."

"Spare us, General."

……

All the wounded soldiers of the Han army who could get up knelt in front of Yuan Chonghuan, and those wounded soldiers who really couldn't stand up also rolled and wanted to stand up, but the result was in vain, they had to lie down at Yuan Chonghuan's feet.

They really couldn't think of a way to atone for their sins except to prostrate.

Yuan Chonghuan was unmoved: "We have never been soft on the alien race that invaded the Han people, since you have taken refuge in Jiannu and brutalized the Han compatriots, you are innocent of death." ”

"General...... "In addition to kowtowing, the wounded soldiers of the Han army are crying.

"Okay, General Ben will give you a chance to atone for your sins, are you willing to make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty?" The evil aura on Yuan Chonghuan's face was as thick as the frost outside the gate.

"We—willing!" Although I don't know what this opportunity is and how difficult it is to realize, the wounded soldiers of the Han army still agreed in unison, it is better to have a chance than to be beheaded by the Ming army.

"The general asked you, how many Jiannu defenders are there in Ningyuan City?"

"There is only one Mongolian Niulu, about a hundred Mongolian soldiers."

Yuan Chonghuan saw that they were not lying, and the evil anger on his face dissipated partly: "Do you know how to open the city gate of Ningyuan?" ”

The wounded soldiers looked at each other.

"As long as you help General Ben open the city gate, General Ben can be exempted from a single crime of your crimes, and from now on, you will become the people of the Ming Dynasty again."

"Open the gates?" A wounded soldier asked tentatively.

"As long as you can get the Mongol soldiers in the city to open the city gates, the general's soldiers will quickly seize the city gates."

"No, general, there are not many soldiers in Ningyuan City, even if you can't name them, their faces must be familiar. Once the Mongols found an unfamiliar face, they would not have opened the gates. The wounded soldier trembled, not knowing if his answer would anger the officer.

Yuan Chonghuan thought about it and felt that what he said made sense: "Then tell me, how can you open the city gate fraudulently?" ”

The soldier thought for a while, "General, let's go back at night and ask the Mongol soldiers for help, they can't see their faces clearly in the night. ”

"What if the Mongol soldiers don't let them into the city?"

"I need Baksh's waist card, and with Bakshi's waist card, the Mongolian soldiers can't believe it." The soldier said firmly.

Yuan Chonghuan nodded, turned to the soldiers beside him and said, "Search out Bakshi's waist card!" ”

As soon as the wounded soldier of the Han army saw the waist card, he immediately showed joy: "It's ......"

Yuan Chonghuan felt that this soldier was very smart, so he asked, "What's your name?" ”

"General Hui, the little one is called Liu Kui." Liu Kui also knelt in front of Yuan Chonghuan.

"Get up and talk back," Yuan Chonghuan beckoned to Liu Kui, "where is your family?" ”

Liu Kui stood up from the ground, his shoulders and arms were still bleeding, "General Hui, the little family is all in Ningyuan." ”

The anger on Yuan Chonghuan's face has all faded: "Liu Kui, if you can help General Ben deceive the city gate of Ningyuan, General Ben can also promote you to be the leader of the township party, and live a peaceful and free life from now on." ”

"Thank you, General!" Liu Kui's kowtow this time came from the heart.

The anger on Yuan Chonghuan's face rose again: "In the future, you must serve the Han people and the Ming Dynasty well, if you have any different intentions, your family will accompany you to the funeral." ”

"Yes, general, the little one will definitely be a submissive citizen in the future." Liu Kui's eyes gave birth to longing, "Dare to ask the general what ......"

"Yuan Chonghuan, commander of the First Army of the Ming Dynasty."

"But General Yuan, who once created a great victory in Ningyuan...... "Liu Kui's ancestors have lived in Ningyuan for several generations, he is an authentic Ningyuan person, and he is naturally no stranger to the war that once happened in Ningyuan, but he didn't expect that standing in front of him was the famous Yuan Chonghuan.

"It's General Ben."

"General Yuan, we Liaodong Han people are looking forward to you back!" Liu Kui lay on the ground, a handful of snot and tears, "We Han people in Liaodong are bitter!" ”

"The imperial court has not forgotten the Han people in Liaodong, and the army of the Ming Dynasty has never left Liaodong." Yuan Chonghuan also felt a burst of sadness, but he forced himself to remain calm: "But no matter how difficult life is, you should not take refuge in Jiannu and kill your Han compatriots." ”

Liu Kui had just seen Yuan Chonghuan's treatment of Jiannu, "General Yuan, the small one knows that he is wrong, and the small one will definitely help the general to obtain Ningyuan City." ”

Yuan Chonghuan picked out seven lightly wounded soldiers from the wounded soldiers of the Han army, "As long as you can assist General Ben to deceive the gate of Ningyuan City, General Ben will exonerate you collectively, sue other Liaodong Han people, leave Jiannu as soon as possible, and return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"General Yuan, what about the ......crimes they committed before" Liu Kui didn't know Yuan Chonghuan's attitude towards the other Liaodong Han people, if Yuan Chonghuan could really pardon them, maybe he could propagandize them on his behalf.

"If we hadn't killed our Han compatriots before, after verification, we would naturally not embarrass them, and would let them live a stable life. But those who have mutilated their Han compatriots, of course, must be punished, unless they ......" Yuan Chonghuan originally planned to punish those Han people who betrayed the country, but if they were not given a chance, they would never dare to return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty, so they had to continue to serve Jiannu and continue to mutilate their own compatriots.

"Unless what?" Liu Kui felt the need to clarify Yuan Chonghuan's words so that they could be publicized among the Han people in Liaodong.

Yuan Chonghuan remembered Sun Chengzong's words, the number of Jiannu is not large, and one less one dies, he thought of a way to get the best of both worlds: "Unless they can bring a Jiannu's head, no matter how old or young, as long as there is a pig's tail on the head." ”

"The small one understands, and the small one must try to spread it widely among the Han people in Liaodong." Liu Kui believed that it would be somewhat difficult for the Han people to kill a strong Jiannu soldier, but there should be some way for the Han people to kill an old, weak, sick and disabled person.

Yuan Chonghuan saw that Liu Kui's wound was bloody, turned to his own soldiers and said, "Take them down to bandage and heal their wounds!" ”

"Yes, Throne." The soldier agreed, "But what about the other wounded soldiers?" ”

Yuan Chonghuan looked at the rest of the wounded soldiers, a little close to death, only the breath out and no qi in, "Take them down too, tell the military doctor, if they can be cured, they will be treated, if they can't fully recover, or they may suffer from disabilities, let them resign themselves to fate!" They did not make meritorious contributions to the Ming Dynasty. ”

This is, the heads of Jiannu have been harvested, and Li Xinglai reported to Yuan Chonghuan: "The military seat, a total of four hundred and ninety-three heads. ”

"Did any of the Jiannu soldiers escape?"

"No, all the Jiannu soldiers who came here, including the Mongol soldiers, were all wiped out, and only the twenty-five Han soldiers left here."

Yuan Chonghuan looked at the sea in the distance for a while, and then said resolutely: "Li Xing, with the first brigade, with Liu Kui and them as guides, opened the gate of Ningyuan City overnight and quickly attacked and occupied Ningyuan. I will take the rest of the First Army, with enough food and grass, and then I will arrive. ”

"Yes, Throne."

The battlefield has been cleaned, Jiannu's body has been searched, and the silver obtained is only more than 500 taels, but there are still more than 200 uninjured war horses on the battlefield, all of which were taken back to Qiantun by Yuan Chonghuan.

Shanhaiguan, Sun Chengzong listened to Yuan Chonghuan's narration, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he had been in Shanhaiguan for nearly a year, and he had not been able to kill so many Jiannu, and the first army had only been in Shanhaiguan for a few days, and the Jiannu in Ningyuan City had almost been killed.

More importantly, the First Army also defeated Jiannu in the field, which was a capability that no other army of the Ming Army had.

"My lord, Li Xing's first brigade has already gone to Ningyuan, they are a lone army, and their subordinates must respond later." Yuan Chonghuan was the first to cut and then play, and Li Xing had been set off for a long time, and now he could not catch it back.

Sun Chengzong came to his senses from his contemplation: "Chonghuan, are you really sure to hold Ning Yuan?" ”

"My lord, in these three small-scale wars, our army did not suffer a single casualty on the frontal battlefield, which shows that the flintlock pistol is indeed superior to Jiannu's bow and arrow, Ningyuan is a strong city, we still have artillery, and there is absolutely no problem in holding on to Ningyuan." Yuan Chonghuan was also worried that Jiannu would not come to Ningyuan, if Jiannu came, he believed that with the current strength of the First Army, he would definitely be able to create a great victory in Ningyuan.

"Okay, I will immediately give you three months of food and grass and rush to Ningyuan with the army, but Chonghuan must promise the old man that he must be careful. Jiannu is never willing to lose Ning Yuan, Huang Taiji first ascended the throne, if he loses the territory laid down by his Laozi, he will definitely be criticized by the high-level of Jiannu, so he must earn back this face. ”

"Yes, my lord, my subordinates will definitely be careful, after taking back Ning Yuan, except in case, my subordinates will never go out of the city to attack the enemy."
