Chapter 274: A Great Victory!
~~~~~~~
The two personal soldiers around him quickly dragged Kong Youde down. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Zhong couldn't bear it anymore, "Yuanqing, you ...... Ay. The small hole is more than excessive. ”
Li Yuanqing nodded and waved his hand to the two pro-soldiers, "This is wartime, this kid's 50 military sticks, let's write it down first." When the battle is over, this guy will be punished again. ”
"Yes." The two pro-soldiers were also relieved in their hearts, and hurriedly let go of Kong Youde.
In the past half a year, Kong Youde has been getting along with them day and night, and he has long had a brotherly relationship, and he does not have to be punished at this time, which means that he still has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in this battle.
Kong Youde was also overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuanqing desperately, "General Xie for his grace, General Xie for his grace." ”
50 military sticks, for a strong young man like him, it is not a problem at all, but if he is beaten at this time and cannot continue to make meritorious contributions, that is his regret.
Seeing that Li Yuanqing actually delayed the punishment, how could he not be excited?
Li Yuanqing helped him up with a smile, "You kid, don't fight for three days, go to the house to uncover the tiles." What if everyone was like you? How does my Immortal Camp become an army? ”
Kong Youde drooped his head, not daring to refute at all, "General, I know that I am wrong." ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Okay." Don't pretend. Lao Tzu still doesn't know your kid's temperament? Now get out of here and lead the way. Big brother, let's go to the artillery camp and have a look. ”
Kong Youde couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly walked to the front, "General, that red-clothed cannon is really a good thing." Falling into the hands of the Tartars, what a tyrannical thing......"
Seeing his excited hand dancing, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong both smiled.
Li Yuanqing said: "You kid, don't think that Lao Tzu forgot your punishment, when you return to Changsheng Island, you can't run away from this board." ”
Kong Youde smiled, "General, don't worry." When you return to the island, you will be punished. ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly led the way in front.
Looking at Kong Youde's vigorous figure in front of him, Chen Zhong slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and looked at Li Yuanqing beside him.
His brother, this method is really ......
The so-called 'turn your hands into clouds, cover your hands for rain'.
After this experience, this small hole has already become the dough in his hand, how can it escape his palm?
…………
The Houjin artillery array was not far from the gate of the camp, and in a short time, Li Yuanqing and his party had already come to the dirt slope here.
Looking at the red-clothed cannon in front of him that emitted a dark and dazzling light in the firelight, Li Yuanqing couldn't express the emotion in his heart.
I thought that if he wanted to get such a sharp weapon, he would have to wait until Yang Xiaochuan's fleet rushed back from Macao, but he didn't expect that it was captured from Houjin at this time.
This is in line with the song of later generations, "No guns, no cannons, the enemy made us." ”
With these red-coated cannons in hand, the situation on the entire battlefield has been completely controlled by the Ming army, and the Ming army has already settled on the Houjin camp.
There was no time to sigh too much, Li Yuanqing quickly issued an order, and quickly mobilized two personal troops to firmly defend the artillery camp position, but no longer fired immediately, but fired intermittently as a helper.
After all, at this time, the main force of the Ming army had already rushed into the Houjin camp, and if he opened fire blindly, it was likely to cause damage to his own side, which Li Yuanqing was unwilling to accept.
And the power of the red-coated cannon is not really how much damage it causes to the army, just like the nuclear ~ weapon of later generations, the key is the psychological deterrent effect.
At this time, the Houjin army must have known that the red-coated cannon had fallen into the hands of the Ming army, and this time, their cavalry did not dare to be so rampant.
As the battle progressed, there were constant messages from the heralds ahead.
The strength of the Ming army everywhere was like a bamboo, and the Houjin army could not resist too much at all, so they seized the road and fled to the north.
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong sat in the artillery camp position, paying attention to the battlefield situation at any time, responding to mobilization, and controlling the overall situation.
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, Li Yuanqing ordered Kong Youde to take his own soldiers to observe the situation in the battlefield, and by the way, he gained some merits.
This kid was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly left happily, leaving the punishment behind.
The fighting continued until the early hours of the morning, when it gradually subsided.
The Houjin camp was full of fires, supplies were piled up, and everywhere was a mess.
Soon, news came from the front that the Houjin army had gathered about six or seven Niu Lu troops, as well as a lot of auxiliary soldiers, about 3,000 people and less than 4,000 people, all the cavalry, were arrayed three miles north of the camp, as if they wanted to make a counterattack.
Li Yuanqing hurriedly ordered the main force of the Changsheng Battalion of 2,000 people to pile up to the north of the Houjin camp to guard against the counterattack of the Houjin army, and at the same time, ordered the main force of Chen Zhong's main force of 2,000 people to respond on the side.
The rest of the time is to clean up the battlefield.
According to the information from the front, there were at least more than 20,000 sheep, nearly 1,000 cattle, and nearly 1,000 injured horses in the Houjin camp, and there was no time to evacuate.
There are also a lot of weapons and armor, and a large number of strategic materials.
In the military formation of Houjin, a real slave Tartar is assisted by at least 2 to 3 various minions with him.
They were responsible for getting weapons, armor, dry rations, and all sorts of menial things.
This is somewhat similar to the followers of later stars.
However, most of these minions are mainly Han Chinese.
Even the Mongol Tatars were assisted by 1 or 2 Han Chinese slaves.
Last night, the Ming army raided at night, and many real slave Tartars had already taken off their armor to eat, and they didn't have time to put them on, and they couldn't form effective resistance, so they could only run away on horseback.
At this time, even if there were 4,000 Houjin cavalry outside the camp, they did not have armor, and Li Yuanqing was not false at all.
In the face of the spear formation of the Immortal Battalion, they would never dare to rush up easily.
Soon, as the sky brightened, the auxiliaries began to carry the various materials in the Houjin camp, driving the sheep and cattle, and at the same time, the auxiliaries in the city also received orders, they drove out the mule carts and quickly gathered here, ready to transport a large amount of supplies to the city.
At the artillery camp position, Chen Zhong was refreshed, and he didn't have the fatigue of staying up all night, the smile on his face couldn't be concealed at all, and his mouth was almost grinning to his ears, "Hahaha, hahahaha." Yuanqing, these materials are enough for us to eat for 2 years. It's all meat. Hahaha......"
Li Yuanqing's mood was also extremely happy.
Huang Taiji probably didn't expect that his strategy of avoiding the important should be light, but instead he lifted a stone and smashed his foot hard.
Without supplies, his strategy in southern Liaoning could no longer continue.
It's just that Li Yuanqing is not at ease about Zhang Pan's side, "Big brother, although our side wins, I'm worried that Jinzhou's side ......"
Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment, and also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, "This is a big trouble." But Yuanqing, we have just won now, and there are still so many supplies to deal with. I can't save it. ”
Li Yuanqing nodded.
Fuzhou's side is like a bamboo, but Jinzhou's side must be uncomfortable.
Li Yuanqing was clear and clear, at this time, the Houjin camp would never exceed the strength of 10 Niu Lu, and moreover, most of the old and weak Niu Lu, I am afraid that the capable ones were all transferred to the front line of Jinzhou.
Huang Taiji was afraid that what he was fighting was the idea of 'encircling the point to send reinforcements', and he wanted to lure Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong out and use the advantage of the field cavalry to annihilate them in one fell swoop.
At this time, although Li Yuanqing wanted to save Jinzhou, this was not a rational approach, after thinking carefully for a while, Li Yuanqing said: "Jinzhou can give up, but Lushun must not lose." Big brother, let's send someone to Jinzhou to investigate the situation now, report the information here, and let Zhang Pan be prepared. If Huang Taiji dares to attack Lushun, you come to defend Fuzhou, and I will rescue you by sea. ”
Chen Zhong also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, "It's okay." Yuanqing, let's take care of this side first, and discuss this matter after we get detailed information. ”
Soon, 30 elite scouts, divided into three groups, hurried to the direction of Golden State.
…………
I was busy from early morning to evening, and the supplies in the Houjin camp had just been counted halfway.
In this battle, the Ming army can be described as a complete victory.
Not to mention all kinds of grain, weapons, and armor, there are nearly 30,000 cattle and sheep alone.
Among them, there were nearly 2,000 cattle and more than 28,000 sheep.
This is only alive, if you count the cattle and sheep that were accidentally injured and killed in the melee last night, I am afraid that there are 35,000.
It's a pity that all the war horses that can run were taken away by the Tartars, and the Ming army did not gain much, but there were more than 2,000 corpses of war horses.
War horses are all good meat, made into bacon, enough for the Ming army to enjoy for a long time.
In addition, the results of the battle are also counted.
In this battle, the Ming army annihilated at least 4,000 enemies.
Among them, there are nearly 800 real slaves, more than 1,000 Mongols, more than 200 armor people, and the rest are mostly soldiers of the Han military banner.
In addition, nearly 3,000 Houjin miscellaneous servants were also captured, most of them were Han Chinese, and there were also a small number of old and weak people in armor.
There were also more than 20,000 taels of gold and silver, which were converted into silver, and they were in the early 40,000s.
These things naturally fell into the pockets of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong.
At this time, a vigorous bonfire was lit on the side of the earthen wall 400 steps below the city of Fuzhou.
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong only rested for one or two hours in the morning and afternoon, but their spirits were excellent.
All the carcasses of the Tartars were cut off from their heads, embalmed and sterilized with quicklime, and brought directly to the city.
And their bodies were directly thrown into the fire of the Houjin camp, which was integrated with heaven and earth, which was both environmentally friendly and trouble-free.
The most critical red-coated cannon has been transported to the city, these gunners, Li Yuanqing did not execute them immediately, but imprisoned them and kept them ready at any time, and by the way, he also helped Li Yuanqing to train some new gunners.
Today's moving work, the first thing to carry is the materials to the north of the Houjin camp, and now, most of the materials have been gathered outside the south gate of the camp, piled up in front of the earthen wall.
In last night's battle, although there was a complete victory outside the North Gate, Houjin's camps at the East Gate and South Gate of Fuzhou were not too affected, and the East Gate camp was also damaged a lot by the fire, but the South Gate camp was almost not affected.
But Houjin did not have many troops left in these two camps, and it was no longer a climate.
The only role is that the 4,000 post-gold cavalry don't have to sleep directly in the wilderness.
But in this situation, they probably don't dare to live directly in the camp anymore, and still have to sleep in the wilderness.
The main defensive lines of the Changsheng Battalion and Chen Zhong's troops had already shrunk back, just before this mountain of supplies.
The auxiliaries are constantly moving like ants, and according to this situation, it is estimated that by noon tomorrow, most of the supplies can be transported to the city.
This time, even if the Houjin army besieged Fuzhou for two or three years, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were not false at all.
You can even eat and drink well, and have meat at once.
The bonfire roasts the lamb on the wooden rack golden and attractive, and the crystal fat flows down the trunk of the mutton, dripping onto the red fireworks, 'crackling', exuding an enticing aroma.
Chen Zhong picked up a piece of mutton with a knife, which was already edible, but not yet fully cooked.
He smiled and slapped the plump torso of the mutton with a knife, went to remove the oil, turned his head, looked at Li Yuanqing, and suddenly said: "Yuanqing, I feel that we should still focus on the present." Jinzhou and Lushun, we are really beyond the reach of the whip. ”
