Chapter 344: A Fire That Changed Two Countries

The once arrogant, almost boasted of omnipotence and invincibility, the Tartars, under the power of nature, had to bow their heads that they once considered noble. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After paying hundreds of casualties, they endured the invasion of the fire wave behind them, and endured the butcher's knife raised by their companions in order to survive, but they finally collapsed under the blow of the iron bucket array of tens of thousands of Ming troops in front of them.

The artillery was roaring, the guns were firing, the bows and arrows were falling overhead, and no one could get out of this narrow mountain road alive, or rather, they were doomed to a tragic fate at the very beginning, slaughter! The situation of a tragic unilateral massacre has been completely formed.

Within two hundred steps of the mountain pass, all the territory was stained with blood, and in the dry field, there were stumps and red blood everywhere, sprinkled on the earth, and after being evaporated by the sun and the heat of the fire, only a black patch remained, but new blood was immediately replenished.

Gradually, a river of blood, yes, a river of blood was formed.

Within these 200 steps, whether it is the Jurchens, or the Mongols, or the minions called Nikan, they are all deeply filled with despair, and they can't see a trace of life, and they are still constantly firing firearms and crossbows, and they still don't stop, until the tiger squat cannon that knocks out the barrel of the cannon, killing, is eternal.

"Stop, stop, they surrendered! Don't fight anymore. ”

The mechanically numb gunpowder soldiers looked like fools, and they could not hear the roar of the generals in their ears, and they repeated the previous action, that is, the back row loaded the front row with bullets, and then handed them to the front row in a row, and handed them to the first column of firearms soldiers to fire directly and continuously.

Sweat and excitement have been all over their bodies, this is all white silver and military exploits, and there is no need to fight with their lives, it is as simple as harvesting grass mustard, except for a few unlucky eggs, there are no casualties at all. This kind of battle is only enjoyable.

"You killing talent, stop it, the lord has an order. Don't kill again, catch it alive~! ”

Unfortunately, as more and more generals threw themselves into the ranks to stop their own army from continuing to kill, the good days of these soldiers were coming to an end, perhaps. They will never have such a chance again in their lives, they are simply lining up to shoot the enemy.

By the time most of the soldiers and horses on the front line had stopped, they vomited and disgusted, and their stomachs were extremely uncomfortable and tumbling, so that they vomited almost everything they had eaten in the morning.

They may not feel it when they are excited about killing, but when they calm down, they realize that this is a Shura hell field that they have created with their own hands. According to later statistics, under the double slaughter of the raging fire and the army, the real Tartar soldiers left 712 corpses, many of which could not be counted.

But fortunately, as long as you can identify who the leading general is, and the Mongols, because they are in the middle line at the beginning, whether it is backward or forward. They were all the targets of slaughter by their own people, and the whole 3,000 Mongol cavalry that followed, except for those who were burned and blown up and killed by the army, there were more than 100 of them. Died at the hands of his own family, or trampled by a war horse,

When the time came, the group of Mongols, who had almost gone mad, were captured, and after the count, they found that the original Mongol cavalry, which had tried to follow south to earn credit, had less than 1,600 people left. That is to say, under the impetus of this killing and fire, they lost half of their men and horses,

Of course, there are also many seriously injured people who have not died, but how can Li Jing waste precious medicine on these people, and if he doesn't let them fend for himself, even if he is polite,

Nikan slave soldiers, the casualties are also large, there are almost not many survivors, they are escorting grain and grass, grain and grass are the things that cause fire, and after the explosion and fire, this broken army of soldiers and horses, almost all the army is wiped out, because when the road is grabbed and walked, these equipment is not good, the Nikan who eats and drinks is not good, where is the opponent of the strong Tartars, not to be cut to the ground, even if it is lucky.

"These corpses, all the heads will be cut off, and the rest will be buried on the spot, now it is dog days, and no one can bear the responsibility for the plague."

Li Jing frowned, without the slightest joy after the big victory, but looked at the jungle that was still burning with concern, here, he didn't care how many people died, anyway, they were all enemies, not his own people.

But what he is afraid of is that this fire will bring other hidden dangers, such as the plague!

"In the past few days, the whole army must avoid raw water, and those who dare to drink indiscriminately in the water of mountains and rivers will be dealt with by military law.

He didn't know exactly how to protect himself, but he knew that there was nothing wrong with being as careful as possible, and he didn't want to take with him an army that had not been defeated by the enemy, but had fallen to the plague after the victory.

"Whoa!"

Although I don't know what he means, it doesn't prevent the generals who have worshiped him as a celestial man, nodding yes one by one, after this battle, Li Jing seems to have deepened a layer of aura, and in the eyes of the people below, it seems that the lord has faintly the strength to win the world.

They still dare to question Li Jing's words, and right now, his words are holy decrees!

"Order, go down, the cavalry town out of a battalion, twenty miles away from here, patrol back and forth, do not approach, intercept and kill a broken deserter, there must be no mistake!"

"The Yulin Army and the Qinwei Town, each out of a capital, carry the corpses and burn them, count the battle results, each army immediately withdraws its troops, and the prisoners are all escorted to the military village first, strictly guarded, if there is a sick person, immediately kill and bury, unless the 20th, can not be brought into the city!"

After making such arrangements, Li Jing immediately led the troops back to Dai County, and he still had a lot of things to deal with.

Although the lord left with a strict and guarded expression, he could not stop the ecstasy in the hearts of the generals below, yes! What a victory I've never had!

This is a Tartar, although they don't fight many times, but from the difference between the lord and the Liukou Ming army, it can be clearly seen that the lord attaches great importance to the Tartar soldiers.

In addition, the military orders and military regulations promulgated on the battlefield have also been changing, and now they have become: kill a thief, reward one tael of silver, go into battle to kill one Ming army, reward three taels of silver, and whoever kills a Tartar, the first merit is ten taels, and the servant is two taels.

And according to the first-level of the third-level Zhenyi who killed the thief in battle, the first-class transfer is enough to make a captain become a chief, and a captain becomes the deputy leader of the team, then this time the combat exploits are enough to make a large number of people promoted and rich, good guy, as soon as you make a move, it will be the head of more than 2,000 levels of Tartars.

There is no doubt that this military order, of course, is not only aimed at the Jurchens, but also against the Mongols, and counting the captured Jurchen soldiers and Mongol soldiers, this time, the rewards alone can reach tens of thousands of taels, or even as many as 100,000 taels, and they are evenly distributed to the heads of each soldier, which is equivalent to an extra three months' military salary for each person.

And it's almost for nothing, because they don't have any casualties themselves, this kind of battle, a thousand times, they don't frown!

"The lord seems to be worried about the big victory this time, so should we bring people into the mountain to search the mountain?"

Because he can't find out the leader-level figure of the Tartars for a while, Chen Da wants to take people into the search mountain, even if it is such a big fire, it can't stop his thoughts of making meritorious contributions, because the lord has an order first, this time the merit of leading the troops, one point is four, all the Yulin Army teaching towns, and cavalry, personal guard towns, and the second town fighting on the front line of Yanmen, Zhuan Tiance Army each one.

But the leader-level figure of this Tartar is not said to be who to share the profits, this is the primary credit for the competition of various armies.

Whether it is Ning You or Liang Sijiu, they will not give up this credit easily, you must know that according to the news from the interrogation of the Han Nikander, this time, the Tartar soldiers led the army with two Baylors, in exchange for the Ming Dynasty, these are the two chief military officers, how much merit, how can it be easily given to others?

"Forget it, this fire, barely entering the mountain, is also fighting for the lives of the brothers, let's wait a few days, when this fire is over, let's talk."

Ning You is so willing to fight for merit, but he can't stand the fire getting bigger and bigger, they can please them when they go in?

"Governor, let's take the chief of the Tartars, I'm overjoyed~!"

In the middle of this conversation, suddenly a general of the Yulin Army rushed to the place, with ecstasy on his face, almost shouting out.

"What? Took the Tartar chieftain? Dead or alive? ”

Ning You was stunned for a moment, then looked at the two dumbfounded generals around him, and suddenly laughed, this first skill is destined to be taken by his own family!

"Hui Dudu, it's a dead one!"

Seeing Ning You's ecstatic inquiry, the general immediately said in embarrassment, everyone knows that life is more useful than death, but when he found Abatai, he had been beaten and his flesh and blood were blurred, if it weren't for the Tartar soldiers crying beside him, maybe he would have been restrained as an ordinary Tartar.

"That's the man!"

When Ning You, Chen Da, and Liang Sijiu came up to investigate, Abatai's bones had been collected, covered with a white cloth and placed on a door panel of the army, but the head was covered with blood stains and scars, and it was no longer possible to distinguish the appearance.

"What do these people rein, quickly send someone to verify his identity, register and make a register, and then cut off the head, and pass on the head of the three armies~!"

The person was discovered by Ning You, so it was naturally up to him to decide, and the other two had no objection to this, and at the same time, the two of them also accelerated the dispatch of troops to collect the corpses, trying to find one or two more Tartar thief chieftains, but unfortunately, the good luck stopped there, and even the corpses of their time were ignored and buried directly as the corpses of ordinary Nikan.

This matter has to wait until later, when Li Jing led the army to pacify Liaodong, and occasionally asked about the whereabouts of this person, he traced the front edge, only to know that as early as in this battle, a certain opponent who had a deep blood feud with him in the army stage had died tragically here......
