Chapter 523: Great Victory

"Surrender or die, surrender and die!" The Ming troops up and down the mountain shouted in unison.

The Mongol soldiers knew the prestige of Qi Laohu, and saw that the two khans had fled, and it was the soldiers who had no fighting spirit and no fighting spirit, and Rao was a Mongolian warrior who had always been brave, and some people began to throw down their weapons and kneel on the ground to surrender.

There is such a thing as surrender, with the first there is the second and the third, just like dominoes, more and more Mongolian soldiers knelt on the ground.

Tens of thousands of troops were killed, wounded, and surrendered, and it was less than an hour from beginning to end, and the battle of eighteen plates outside Xifengkou had already come to an end.

"Great victory, Chief Qin, this is an unprecedented victory!" Geng Dingli was overjoyed, and his voice trembled.

Tuo Qinlin's blessing, Mr. Geng Er has become the governor of Geng, although the leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate used to be Qingliu and respected Dongshan, after all, he has no power in hand and lacks money in his pocket, how can he have the pleasure of holding power and money and food now? Even if Qin Lin restricts him to only 20,000 yuan a year, it will be much fatter than when he was in the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

However, the position of the governor of Jiliao is not so easy to sit in, didn't two governors have been killed one after another twenty years ago? Even if there are many dismissals and dismissals!

Even if there is Qi Jiguang and Qi Tiger now, Geng Dingli feels a little unsafe, after all, he himself does not know much about military affairs, if something goes wrong, won't his reputation be wasted?

Unexpectedly, just a few months after taking office, there was an unprecedented victory, killing and wounding countless Mongolian soldiers, and Tumen Khan and Dong Fox fled in the desert.

The more he looked at Qin Lin, the more he felt that this benefactor was worth worshipping: Don't look at Chief Qin's youth, he has great ability, he can overthrow a governor of Jiliao, can help him up a governor of Jiliao, and can set up such a military exploit that is enough to shine in the annals of history, so what else is there to say?

If at the beginning, Geng Dingli was caught by Qin Lin by the pigtails, and he had to obey him, and he still had resentment in his heart, then now he is completely convinced, and he is even glad that he can worship the young Jinyi Guard's commanding envoy.

Qi Jiguang saw that Geng Dingli and Qin Lin were extremely humble when they spoke, and secretly wondered in his heart, Mr. Geng Er is a long-famous Shilin Qingliu, how can he get together with Qin Lin, a newly rising factory guard? In the past, Geng Dingli vaguely mentioned that he thought that the two of them had a relationship with Zhang Juzheng, but now it seems that I am afraid that Governor Geng is more humble to Qin Lin than to Zhang Xiangye!

The subordinate officials of the Jiliao Governor's Mansion were also secretly frightened, their own governor was a Qingliu celebrity, even in front of Zhang Xiangye and Feng Sili, they had to stand upright, biased against the young Qin chief, and even bent down their waists, which was really unusual!

Qi Jiguang thought about it, after all, Geng Dingli was his top boss, so he smiled and arched his hand: "This great victory, our army with 30,000 newly trained king divisions, resisting the 80,000 Tartar cavalry that can conquer and fight, killing and capturing at least 30,000 enemy soldiers, and winning a complete victory. Secondly, General Qin's eyes were like a torch, and he saw through the Tartar captives as soon as possible......"

Who knew that Geng Dingli heard that he was ranked in front of Qin Lin, and immediately shook his hands wildly: "Old Qi, it's not right for you to say that, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent can survive a hundred battles, thanks to General Qin's anticipation of the enemy's opportunity, there is a great victory today." In addition, Pontus Hall would like to thank Chief Qin for saving his life - if the captive horse breaks through the Xifeng Pass and attacks Miyun City, will the old man still be alive? ”

Saying that, Geng Dingli slammed into Qin Lin and thanked him for saving his life.

Whether it is the Beizhen Fusi Official Academy or the military generals under Qi Jiguang, they are all dumbfounded, how big an official is the governor of Jiliao, how famous Geng Dingli is, how much is he grateful for Qin Lin's actions? It's just flattery.

Qin Lin laughed, and helped Geng Dingli up with both hands: "Governor Geng, even if there is no official, Qi Shuai will not be fooled, at that time, I carefully observed Qi Shuai, in fact, he already had a plan in his heart, I found out the enemy's plan through the autopsy, at most it strengthened his determination, right, Brother Qi?" ”

Qi Jiguang smiled and said honestly: "At that time, brother, I inferred according to the art of war, and I was more than seventy percent sure that the Tatars wanted to take Xifengkou, but Jizhen is the barrier of the Beijing Division, and the soldiers must be cautious. However, Brother Qin found out the cause of the corpse's death and thoroughly investigated the enemy's annihilation plan, so I was ninety percent sure that I dared to go out of the pass and set up an ambush and perform the gong with one blow. ”

Geng Dingli's eyes lit up, and he pushed the credit to Qin Lin one by one: "In this way, it is Qi Shuai's work to defeat the Tartars, and the great victory in the ambush is attributed to General Qin, and General Qin is really the first merit!" ”

Qin Lin smiled, knowing what Geng Dingli meant, but he shook his head lightly and lowered his voice: "Two good intentions, Qin Mou's heart." But forget it, I'm just doing merit in the factory guard, and I'm going to be exempt from the military merit here......"

The court is suspicious!

Geng Dingli and Qi Jiguang are both people who have been mixed in the officialdom for decades, and now they suddenly realized that Qin Lin is different again: the young man is ambitious, but he knows the general trend and knows the advance and retreat, no wonder he is not weak in the year, and the official residence is three products, and the scheming of people is really not covered!

At the moment, the three of them agreed that Geng Dingli was still the first merit in the imperial court, this is a general rule, Wenchen Supervisor is greater than the military general's merit, and Geng Dingli also needs this credit more than Qi Jiguang, Lao Qi has won countless battles, and Lao Geng is still the eldest girl on the sedan chair - the first one.

The second is the border army soldiers led by Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang himself doesn't care very much, this credit is not enough to be a marquis, if he wants to be promoted, he is already the governor of Zhengyipin, and there is no way to be promoted, all he wants is to continue to work in Jizhen, don't get into the party struggle of the imperial court, and be driven away inexplicably.

Of course, it was also briefly mentioned in the compromise, that Qin Lindu led the Beizhen Fusi Official School to investigate the enemy's situation, but it was only a passing touch, making others look like a favor.

When the arrangements were made here, Qi Jin also counted the battlefield and came back, with an excited face: "Report to Governor Geng, Qi Shuai, and General Qin, we have more than 7,000 beheadings this time, nearly 30,000 prisoners, and less than 1,000 of our own deaths, which is really an unprecedented victory!" ”

Tumen Khan and Dong Fox are known as 100,000 people who control the strings, and the actual ones are only about 80,000, and there are 37,000 beheaded and captured here, and many of those who escaped are wounded, so it can be said that the two Mongol Khans have lost at least half of their troops!

What's more, compared with the results of the battle, the losses of the Ming army were negligible, and it was truly an unprecedented victory.

At this time, there was no preferential treatment for the prisoners, the Tartars entered the Kou to burn, kill, loot and plunder the people, and the Ming army hated them to the core, and they punched and kicked them, picked up the butts of their guns and smashed them, and beat these prisoners to scream.

Seeing this, Qin Lin suddenly laughed, and said to Geng Ding: "These captives, don't be disabled, if you want to be promoted and make a fortune and sit in a stable position, you have to let them eat and drink enough, and try to nourish their spirits." ”

Geng Dingli and Qi Jiguang stared wide-eyed, not understanding what Qin Lin meant.

"Offering prisoners at noon," Qin Lin smiled: "You said that when the time comes, will it be the proud Mongolian soldiers and fierce generals, or a group of cripples with broken hands and feet, which can show the two of them with outstanding achievements?" ”

Ahh Qi Jiguang slapped his head, and hurriedly ordered to go down, just tell the sons and daughters to get angry, don't really beat the captives to make people not like people and ghosts.

Everyone walked down the hillside, Geng Dingli fanned his nose with his hand, frowned, and said, "Don't these Tartars take a bath?" The smell of shame came to the face, unkempt, and it was simply unsightly, and it was not good to look at when the prisoners were sacrificed. Come on, tell these captives to boil hot water and wash them well! ”

Yes? Qin Lin waved his hand, shook his head and smiled: "Governor Geng is pedantic again. ”

Geng Dingli opened his eyes and didn't know why, but he thought about it before he understood, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Of course, it is the unkempt and bloody body that makes the Tartars appear ferocious and terrifying, and it is more and more prominent that the soldiers of the border army bravely killed the enemy, and the commanders led them well.

Hey, I've been in the officialdom for decades, and compared with Chief Qin, I'm going to live to the belly of a dog!

Geng Dingli is really convinced.

……… While the Ming army was cleaning up the battlefield, Tumen Khan and Dong Fox led the remnants of the defeated army to seize the road and run wildly, running for thirty miles in one breath, so tired that the men and horses could not breathe.

Thanks to the fact that the new army trained by Qi Jiguang was only 30,000 horses, and it was the limit to eat nearly 40,000 enemies, and it was really impossible to divide troops to chase them, so these two Mongol khans escaped with their lives.

Seeing that there were no pursuers behind him, Tumen Khan stopped to rest, took two breaths, and looked at the people who were left behind and scattered on the road, and more than half of the people and horses around him were missing, and those who were alive were also missing arms and legs, and suddenly felt sad.

Dong Fox's donkey face was scorched black by artillery fire, and half of his hair was burned off by rockets.

Shi Zhongtian ran up, the knife on his arm had been tied, but it was still hurting, but he was thinking about being the emperor, so he couldn't care about it, so he approached and said: "The two khan kings must not be discouraged, I don't know who destroyed the plan this time, let's take revenge next time!" Now the lord of the Southern Dynasty is suspicious, Zhang Juzheng is domineering, as long as they are in chaos, the two khans will take the Southern Dynasty as if they were probing for things......"

"yes, it's like a bag!" Tumen Khan laughed, and suddenly slapped Shi Zhongtian in the face with his backhand, and scolded: "Let go of your fart, grandpa will believe you half a sentence again, and it will not be raised by your father's mother!" This time, my grandfather lost half of his men and horses, and countless of my Mongolian warriors died, do you want Ben Khan to die next time, so that you are satisfied? ”

Dong Fox was more cunning after all, and when he heard Shi Zhongtian's words, he remembered that he had framed Qi Jiguang from the court last time, so he stopped Tumen Khan: "Brother Wang, let him go-Sect Leader Shi, it's useless for you to say anything now, if the Southern Dynasty really starts up, let's send troops to help you!" ”

Shi Zhongtian had nothing to do, so he took a deep look: "Not long after, the two Khan kings knew that Shi was not lying. ”

After that, he led several masters of the White Lotus Northern Sect to beat the horses away, and Tumen Khan behind him still scolded endlessly.
