Chapter 810 is just a comparison

Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaozhen, led the army of Liaozhen to fight in Duolun, if there was no big war of Wang Tong leading the army to recruit and naturalize, this is probably the first time in the Ming Dynasty in nearly a hundred years, and it will be the attention of the world.

Since the battle of Yingzhou in the Zhengde period, the Ming Dynasty has never moved such a scale of battles, but Wang Tong led 30,000 troops to conquer and naturalize, and returned from destroying the country, Li Chengliang led the army to the west again, it was not so dazzling and shining, Wang Tong had such a brilliant victory, Li Chengliang's expedition not only did not make people have too much expectation, but made people worry.

If Wang Tongbei wins and Li Chengliang loses in the west, then Li Chengliang's glory and wealth for so many years, the reputation of famous generals for many years, and even their Li family will be suspected.

The new Jinyi Guard commanded Wang Tong's victorious return, and he was so strong in the court that most of the people who felt Wang Tong's threat hoped for a great victory for Li Chengliang.

Only Li Chengliang's great victory in the process of the western expedition to Duolun can make Wang Tong's victory not so dazzling, and can make people question whether the imperial court's reward for Wang Tong is too heavy, and whether it is too much power and reward for him.

A few days later, the news they wanted came from the northeast, and Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaozhen, led a large army to conquer the Horqin Department in Duolun, won a great victory, and returned to Beijing with victory.

The news was divided into two ways, one was sent to the military department, and the other was sent to the palace, and the news from the military department was quickly known by those who could know it, and it quickly spread in Beijing.

The timing of the western expedition led by Li Chengliang, the commander-in-chief of Liaozhen, was very good, and there were tribes on the grassland as the guide, and since leaving Liaozhen, they swept all the way on the grassland.

Many small tribes have only three ways to choose, the battle is dead, fleeing in advance, and defecting to the Ming army, before the big war, Liaozhen has already had a record of more than 3,000 deaths.

It is impossible for the Altan tribe to leave the Naturalization City, and it is also impossible for the Horqin tribe to leave Duolun, without this land of abundant water and grass, the great tribe of hundreds of thousands of people can only be scattered in the barren land, and can no longer become a whole, and in the grassland, scattering is equivalent to extinction.

The Horqin Tribe, which had always been despised, promised heavy conditions, and most of the eastern parts of the steppe formed an alliance to obtain as many reinforcements as possible to prepare for the battle with the Ming army.

The news of the slaughter of tens of thousands of men below the royal family has reached this side, and the various departments of the grassland are shocked, and suddenly the Ming army has such a strong combat effectiveness, and more importantly, the Ming Dynasty, which has always been not aggressive, is suddenly so aggressive, such a huge country is belligerent, how to resist on the grassland.

Some people heard the news that the Naturalization City was kind to the other tribes and led the tribe to try their luck in the past, and many more people stayed away from the Naturalization City as far away as possible.

When Li Chengliang led the Liaozhen soldiers to attack, the east on the grassland fell into a panic, to the west is the Ming Dynasty heavily garrisoned by the naturalization city, where the army is said to be the Wang Tong's army, this Wang Tong has an undefeated reputation in the grassland, to the north can only go to the desert, at this time when the cattle and horses are losing weight and thin, I don't know how many people will die on the grassland, how many livestock will die, go over there, the soldiers and horses of Jizhen are never easy to touch.

Unconsciously, the Horqin tribe was forced into a desperate situation, and the Khan King of Horqin did not spend much effort to summon reinforcements this time, and the various tribes did not need to mention any conditions, such a life-and-death battle aroused the common hatred of the various tribes on the grassland.

Most of the departments such as Halashen and Duoyan have sent their own teams, and the Duoyan Department is also known as the Ming Ping Domain, which is the ally of the Ming Dynasty on the grassland, but this time it is also sent cavalry to help the Horqin Department.

In the east of Duolun, there were 50,000 Tartar cavalry waiting for the Liaozhen army, and Li Chengliang's army was more than 10,000 in addition to his direct subordinate family Ding personal soldiers, and nearly 10,000 personal soldiers of the generals in Liaozhen, which was more than 20,000 elites, plus the rest of the officers and soldiers who were transferred to the grassland, the army also exceeded 60,000.

Although there were 50,000 Tatar cavalry, there were not many who could reach the elite level of Liaozhen cavalry, and Liaozhen had a great chance of winning this battle

The results are also in line with this judgment on paper, Liaozhen won a great victory.

"What I did this year, I can mention it in the sacrifice when I pay tribute to my ancestors and ancestors."

When the good news came in the afternoon, Emperor Wanli took it with Concubine Zheng, quite complacent, and wanted to be reserved in front of the inner eunuchs and courtiers, and revealed a lot of Emperor Wanli's true temperament in front of his own woman.

Concubine Zheng, who had gained a lot of weight, looked at Wanli with a smile and said softly:

"It's also Your Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, otherwise how could there be such a fierce general under his command, and how could he achieve such a big victory."

Emperor Wanli laughed out loud, slapped the good news in the palm of his hand, and said:

"It's just a report over there, and the battle report will be delivered in a few days, but the detailed reports from Dongchang and Jinyiwei should come before dark."

In such an army, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have their own eyeliner, which is almost a semi-public existence, and the generals are also aware of it.

The contact between the army and the imperial court's letterhead and newspapers is much more cautious in official transactions, and the spies of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, their intelligence is to ask for a timeliness, and the authenticity requirements are not so high, anyway, the news will continue to be delivered, and the above is just to understand the latest situation, which can be corrected at any time.

With Concubine Zheng like this, it is impossible for Emperor Wanli to stay, so he still goes to the imperial study at night to see the folds sent below.

"More than 5,000 were killed in this battle, and more than 5,000 were killed and wounded in Liaozhen"

Emperor Wanli read the battle report, but shook his head slightly, the casualties were almost the same, but the results of this battle in addition to the battle of Guihua City, with the rules of the Ming Army, a real victory, if you count the previous more than 3,000 levels, a total of more than 8,000 levels of harvest, this victory can be called brilliant.

Moreover, the allied forces of Horqin and the grassland tribes were defeated and retreated, and were driven out of the Duolun grassland area, and the purpose of this battle was also achieved.

According to Dongchang's report, before this battle, the soldiers of Liaozhen were already quite arrogant, thinking that the Tartars were nothing more than this, but when the war began, Qin Deyi, the general of Liaozhen, was in chaos.

Many small tribes along the road came to take refuge, and all these people were arranged in the periphery of Liaozhen, and they were used as cannon fodder to rush to the front when they went to war.

But since it is a friendly army, the precautions must be relaxed, and when the battle is about to be made, there is a small tribe of nearly a thousand people on Qin Deyi's flank.

The Liaozhen soldiers are really strong soldiers, it is difficult to be in such a hurry, and it is on the battlefield, Qin Deyi's personal soldiers will immediately organize people to suppress the cavalry of these small tribes.

But it's good to die, the Horqin Department invested 5,000 cavalry here, these 5,000 cavalry were originally disguised as the old and weak women and children of the tribe who fled, these 5,000 cavalry suddenly joined, Qin Deyi was a little unstoppable here, the foot soldiers began to collapse, and the people were even more headless and rushed like flies.

But the so-called "cavalry" of the Tartars was still too much worse than the elite of Liaozhen, and the Li family's personal soldiers led by Li Rubai were put into the battlefield and immediately defeated the 5,000 Tartar cavalry.

There was no suspense in the next battle, and the army of Liaozhen, led by cavalry and foot soldiers, charged towards the Tartars' main formation.

In the face of the well-armored and well-trained Liaozhen cavalry, the main cavalry force of the Tatars had no way to resist at all, and could only retreat step by step.

However, the fighting spirit of the coalition forces of the various departments of the grassland also surprised Li Chengliang, and the elite of the Horqin Department blocked it with the same fighting style, which also caused a lot of casualties to the Li family.

After the Li family's soldiers lost more than 1,000, Li Chengliang stopped the momentum of the attack, and the Tartars were almost defeated and kept retreating.

As the commander of the first army, Li Chengliang said that the battle has been won, and then you can return to the division, no one can find fault with him, this battle Ming army infantry and people were killed and wounded more than 5,000 people, and the core strength of the Horqin Department lost more than 5,000, plus since this battle, since Liaozhen to the west, were dispersed, defeated, and beheaded, those small tribes were pushed out of a large area on the grassland, and ten years of peace were also available, which was also very effective.

Dongchang's newspaper said that it was more than 5,000 cuts, plus the previous good news, a total of more than 8,000 levels, according to the previous rules, the final newspaper sent to Beijing should be exaggerated into 20,000 numbers.

Wang Tong's side cut nearly 50,000, and this side is almost more than 20,000, and Wang Tong's side may also exaggerate, and it is almost the same when compared with each other.

However, in the eyes of those who know the truth, Wang Tong's record is real, so the two are compared

"The newspaper said that thousands of soldiers died in the Li family, from Li Chengliang to Li Rubai, they were all heartbroken, good guy, these soldiers were raised by him with the money of the imperial court, and they were treated as his own property."

After Emperor Wanli saw it, he just sneered, and Zhang Cheng on the side said with a smile:

"Long live the lord, according to the report from the Dongchang side, at that time, Wang Tong led the Huwei army to rush forward, and the Jizhen soldiers were guarding their own side."

Emperor Wanli just sighed and said:

"Liaozhen is out of the elite this time, Horqin's side is much worse than my answer, but it is still like this, this Liao soldier is known as the crown of the nine sides, but I didn't expect it to be better than Wang Tong's side"

Speaking of this, the Wanli Emperor fell silent, put down the Chinese scroll, leaned on the back of the chair, Zhang Cheng was a little puzzled, according to the past, the Wanli Emperor must have to say a few more words, or sarcasm, or praise, how to suddenly fall silent.

"It's so strong"

Emperor Wanli said without a beginning or an end
