"My lord, at present, there are a total of 713 heads of Jiannu, including one person in Jiala Ezhen, seven people in Niulu Ezhen, one hundred and twenty-one prisoners in Zhenyi, four hundred and seventy-three people in Koreans and Baoyi, three people in Zhenyi who have been screened out in Niu Lu, one person in Gushan Ezhen, thirty-four soldiers in Jia, and the rest are all Yu Ding, seven Niulu flags, three Jiala flags, one Gushan Ezhen flag, six hundred pieces of iron armor, one hundred pieces of chain mail, and more than eight hundred cotton armors, most of which are only slightly damaged and can be used, and there are more than 1,000 knives and guns and other instruments, half of which are unusable, the quartermaster Jian yì took off the iron part and transported it back to Weihai for re-refining, and the seized property was not much, more than two or three thousand silver, and a small amount of jewelry. ”

In the camp of Wendeng Camp on Mi Island, a group of officers sat around the tent of the Chinese army, and the military judge of the 1,000th headquarters was reporting, Chen Xin listened carefully while browsing the statistics of the battle results of various divisions, which already had the signatures of military judges, instructors and chief officers above the general level, Chen Xin, as the supreme commanding officer present, also needed to sign and confirm on the battle report, he was actually doing a good job, and after hurriedly signing it, he handed it to the military judge who was responsible for counting the results.

There are a lot of armor in this battle, which is very useful for improving the protection of the Wendeng camp, but the silver two are not much, according to the confession of those prisoners, they are in a hurry all the way, and there is little time to loot, originally planned to loot near Xuanchuan and Tieshan for two to three days on the return trip, in terms of financial resources, Chen Xin must be a loss, and the three thousand taels of silver are not enough to give Lu Zhi a gift this year.

However, Chen Xin didn't care about this, this battle shocked Jiannu, one in Luanzhou and the other in Shenmi Island, Houjin was annihilated twice and divided his troops, and then Huang Taiji wanted to attack Phi Island or attack North Korea again. He would definitely think twice, as long as the Wendeng battalion appeared nearby, he would not dare to divide his troops.

At the same time, it also deterred Donggang Town and North Korea, and the potential value of this was far from being comparable to the seized silver taels. Especially for North Korea, a special third party, the victory in this battle will spur the pro-Ming faction, which in turn will influence North Korea's policy.

According to Chen Xin's expectations, it would be best to occupy the island of Shenmi, which would continue to exert influence on Donggang Town and North Korea, but the follow-up logistics support was a big problem, exceeding the capacity of the Wendeng camp at this time, and it would definitely not be accepted by the imperial court. After all, it is the defense area of Dongjiang Town.

Chen Xin frowned and thought for a while, and asked Lu Chuanzong, "Have you finished sweeping the remnants of Jiannu in the southern mountains?" ”

Lu Chuanzong stood up and replied: "Two days after the war, more than 90 Jiannu were captured and killed, and the battle group that was cleaned up today has not yet returned, and the mountains in the south are crisscrossed. The mountains are high and the forests are dense, and it will take time to wipe them all out. ”

Chen Xin knocked lightly on the table, judging from the number, there were only one to two hundred people left in Zhenyi, and there was such a large mountain area in the south. It is really not easy to catch it, and the Jiannu along the Xuanchuan River on the opposite side still have not withdrawn, and they should be waiting to collect the rout soldiers who have fled back to the shore.

Chen Xin turned to Zhang Dong, "Are there any important generals who have not been captured?" ”

Zhang Dong took a look at the roster. stood up and said: "The one who didn't catch one is a red flag armor La'e Zhen, and several cattle are recorded as Zhen." In addition, according to the coating, there is another one named Shi Tingzhu. The official position is the third deputy general of the Han official, is the deputy of Tong Yangxing, this person surrendered to Jiannu in the battle of Guangning, and was determined on the island before the war, but he has not yet been found to be captured or killed in battle, and from this artificially introduced, it was found that Jiannu has a new battalion, the name Wu Zhenchaoha, for the meaning of Yi language 'heavy soldiers', all the Han people are recruited, equipped with all kinds of artillery and muskets, and the commander is Tong Yangxing, it seems that last winter Houjin has been made into a cannon, weighing thousands of catties, named by Huang Taiji' God bless the general', it is the operation of this Han army, and one of Bao Yi has seen the cannon with his own eyes. ”

Wu Zhenchaoha, the predecessor of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, finally appeared under the strategy of Huang Taiji, this army Chen Xin knew, it was the place where traitors gathered later, and at the same time served as an important weight for Huang Taiji to balance other Houjin nobles.

But I don't have any impression of Shi Tingzhu, Chen Xin recalls it carefully, and I don't remember that there is such a person, it shouldn't be a big person, in the list of Houjin generals sorted out by the Intelligence Bureau, this person is not listed in an important position, but what kind of heavenly blessing general cannon appeared in Houjin is worth paying attention to, Houjin has captured a lot of old cannons, since this cannon is named by Huang Taiji himself, it must be different from ordinary artillery.

At that moment, he instructed Zhang Dong to pay attention to the movements of the Houjin army, and then asked the others, "What else is going on?" ”

The quartermaster staff officer of the Chinese army raised his hand and said: "My lord, there are 400 Korean prisoners, and they need a lot of food every day, will these people continue to be detained as prisoners, or will they be dismissed as people?" ”

Chen Xin said without hesitation: "Screening, those who can build ships can be captured back to Weihai, ordinary, let the North Korean officials on Phi Island come and let him take them back." In fact, North Korean officials on Phi Island have already approached Zhang Dong and wanted to meet Chen Xin, but Chen Xin has been hanging him for two days, and it is almost time to meet him now.

After finishing speaking, Liu Pojun arranged today's battle sequence and sent the officers away, leaving only Lu Chuanzong and Liu Pojun.

Chen Xin said to the two: "Relax the intensity of the clean-up and let those Jiannu escape some back." ”

Liu Pojun's eyes rolled, Lu Chuanzong was about to write it down, Chen Xin shook his hand and said: "Don't record it, the two of you know about it, don't sue the soldiers, don't show too much trace when you arrange." ”

Lu Chuanzong was a little puzzled, and Chen Xin said in a low voice: "The people who came from Jiannu this time have eight banners, let them escape some back, and spread the prestige of Wendeng Camp to all banners, and when Jiannu sees us in the future, he will be afraid of a few points in his heart, so that he will not dare to fight as hard as this time." ”

Lu Chuanzong and Liu Pojun nodded at the same time, Jiannu is used to victory, always think that as soon as they charge, the Ming army should turn around and flee, this time Jiannu is the same, as a result, the two sides are short-handed, there is no way to retreat, the fight is bloody and abnormal, but the battle happened on an isolated island, other Jiannu did not see it, let some people go ashore, as soon as they return to the army, the news will definitely spread, it is another kind of result, put back those Koreans, it is also out of the same consideration.

Lu Chuanzong heard someone talk about the North Koreans just now, licked his tongue and said: "My lord, this time the North Koreans let Hou Jin come in and out, and they will not resist at all, should we punish them, and let them pay some food by the way." ”

Chen Xin glanced at him and smiled: "That's what Dongjiang Town did, let's not do it first." Chen Xin learned about the political situation in North Korea during this time. Their ministers were divided into two factions, pro-Houjin and pro-Ming, and there were far more pro-Ming people than pro-Houjin, and so was Li Liang himself, so they firmly rejected Houjin's request for warships this time. At this time, the culture of North Korea was almost exactly the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, and the sense of identity from culture was not something that Huang Taiji's Wang Bazhi Qi could shake lightly.

Dongjiang Town's consistent style of coercion against North Korea is coercion, and Chen Xin has no psychological barrier to robbery, but this time he decided not to do it, and after showing the big stick, he should naturally show the appearance of a civilized army, and the effect may be better than robbing, after all, Chen Xin can't stay here for a long time now. Unable to exert substantial influence on North Korea, it should be best to make a good impression on each other first.

"Alright." Chen Xin stood up, "Each does his own errand." ”

Lu Chuanzong stood up and said with a smile: "My lord is still going today?" ”

Chen Xin remembered Lu Zhi's high-spirited appearance when he stood proudly on the bow of the ship, and said helplessly: "Is there any way?" Of course, I can only continue to bombard Jiannu with Lord Lu...... Two days later, the Ming army came to the nearby sea as usual, fought on the shore, and then moved to Xuanchuanpu.

At this time, the Houjin army in the camp of Midaopu was pulling out the camp and leaving. The other two large battalions of Xuanchuanpu and Shekoupu were marching to the camp at Shimidaopu, where it seemed that they would meet and withdraw, unlike the vigor of the arrival. At this time, their queue felt quite disgraced, that dejected atmosphere. It can be seen from miles away.

In the wooded hills of Mishimapu, Li Tao poked out his equally grizzled face. Observing the Houjin army between the gaps in the branches and leaves, he and his three subordinates have been lurking here, mainly relying on improvised bird traps to catch birds to eat, and then picking some edible wild vegetables, they don't dare to make a fire, all of them eat raw, like savages.

During the lurking period, they went to reconnoiter Shekoupu and Xuanchuanpu for two days, and mapped the surrounding terrain, if the army wanted to go ashore to attack, it could be used as a reference for Shangguan, but they never waited for the army to come ashore.

On the day of the battle on the island, they could all hear the faint sound of the shelling of the Dengzhou sailors, and the Jiannu here were very panicked and ran to the beach to watch, but only a few ships escaped back.

Later, some Jiannu escaped back one after another, most of them were holding big trees or small rafts, they were also very good at choosing the time, they were all launched before dawn, crossing the sea by dark, generally the boat did not come out at this time, such a wide sea area, the Ming army that little big ship patrol can not come, when the day is almost dawn to the shore, Li Tao recorded the number of about hundreds of people, including a small number of Koreans, Li Tao and a few people look at the situation of those Jiannu, they know that the Wendeng camp must have defeated them, otherwise why do you need to be so wolf.

In recent days, the naval division has continuously shelled Midaopu and Xuanchuanpu, although the fighting is very lively, but the Houjin army has two or three miles offshore, the artillery results are few, and even the shells near the camp are very few, from the reaction of the Houjin army, they are also accustomed to the Ming army coming to fight every day, and on the first day they were panicked and evaded, and today they are already cooking as usual, and they should have listened to the firecrackers.

Bucktooth whispered on the side: "Dog Day Jiannu is leaving, we haven't cut off a single head, why don't we go back." ”

Li Tao scolded impatiently: "Your mother cuts off people's heads all day long, does the order given to us by the Central Military Department require heads?" ”

In fact, Li Tao didn't want to go back empty-handed, they had already completed the task, and beating people's heads should be regarded as earning extra money, in addition to the medals, the honorary rewards of the Wendeng battalion also have merit marks, different merits are different, killing one person can sew a small red five-star on the regular clothes, and the full five people will be changed to a medium-sized five-star, if they don't have any of them, they will really have no face in front of the soldiers in the future.

It's a pity that these days Jiannu is heavily guarded, and they don't build ships anymore, and those who come out to collect firewood and hunt are more than ten people together, Li Tao and others are fully equipped, and there is no problem in dealing with ten people, but they are not sure not to alarm the local camp, and once they are exposed, they can no longer lurk, and there are two or three times when Jiannu passes by where they are lurking, but they don't dare to do it.

Bucktooth was still unwilling to say: "This time Jiannu Island was defeated and did not run, they went to the island more than 1,000 people, and only came back more than 100 people, each of the soldiers is divided into a head, what is our special service team doing to eat, I knew that I would eat dead birds in the haystack all day long, and Lao Tzu might as well be a soldier." ”

Another member of the team next to him grinned and said, "Brother Luoya, our Wendeng Camp only has combat rewards." There is no head reward, what are you anxious about. ”

"Lao Tzu knows that there is no head reward, so I want you to tell Lao Tzu about it." Buckteeth scolded him, "Lao Tzu wants to kill someone." Sue sù you fool, Lao Tzu used to kill not twenty but fifteen of the Western prisoners in Shanxi Town, and the total of the Tonggong only got more than twenty taels of silver, so Lao Tzu loves to kill ......"

"Don't talk about it." Li Tao interrupted, "Let's follow Jiannu...... On the Fu boat, Chen Xin bowed down to take the telescope delivered by Lu Zhi, and looked at the shore, where Jiannu's rearguard cavalry was retreating from several hills. This time the battle of Phi Dao is finally over, and he can no longer accompany Lu Zhilai to set off firecrackers every day, and Lu Zhi's second good news has just been written, and the good news is in Chinese and landed on the shore to chase and kill. Huang Long and Zhang Tao intercepted at Tieshan, the Jiannu wolf bèi ran away, and Huang Long had dozens of levels of beheading.

Huang Long has been guarding Phi Dao this time, not that he is afraid of death, but mainly because Phi Dao does need a general to defend it. According to Zhang Dong's intelligence, dozens of his heads were forcibly bought from Shang Keyi and others. I heard that there were two generals who did not agree to sell, one of whom was named Geng Zhongyu. is Geng Zhongming's younger brother, not only does he not sell. He also scolded Huanglong everywhere on the island, making a fuss.

Judging from the current performance, Huang Long and others must have also dealt with Lu Zhi, Huang Long wants to share some military merits, although Chen Xin is not too willing to see it, but this is the territory of Dongjiang Town, and he can't control that much.

The two good news were sent by Lu Zhi in the name of the prison army, and there was no mention of Sun Yuanhua at all, whether he could eat this strategic work in one bite was also a matter of indeterminacy, Wei Zhongxian had only been hung up for two or three years, even if Lu Zhi had no ambitions, the civil officials would not see a new powerful eunuch emerge.

Although Lu Zhi is a close minister, Sun Yuanhua has Zhou Yanru as his backer, he should have a share in all the military merits of Denglai, and the first-level inspection of military merits has passed his level, this competition will definitely be fierce, Chen Xin, as the main general of the great victory on Mi Island, will play a key role.

Lu Zhi obviously knows this, he thinks that Chen Xin is not clear about the dispute between Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru, Chen Xin has been accompanying him to watch the firecrackers in the past few days, and he hinted a few times when chatting, Chen Xin depends on Lu Zhi's attitude, if he is determined to fight against Sun Yuanhua in Denglai, Chen Xin will completely take refuge in the past.

At this time, the withdrawal of Jiannu was imminent, and Phi Dao could be regarded as withstanding this round of attacks, and Dengzhou Shuiying and Wendeng Camp were about to evacuate after a little rest, and Lu Zhi felt that it was almost time to talk to Chen Xinming.

"General Lai Chen's first battle, this is the first major victory since the Eastern Affairs, if the emperor receives the good news, I don't know how happy he will be, long live in his early twenties, he has a lot of gray hair, and our family thinks of the emperor's heart for Liaodong, and he can't sleep every night."

Chen Xin knew that Lu Zhi still had the following, so he casually continued: "Jiannu suffered this heavy blow, and he should not dare to raise the idea of fighting Phi Dao in a few years. ”

Lu Zhi smiled slightly, and said in a sharp voice: "If you want to say, Lord Sun is also hardworking, but there are some things, I can't take care of it, I heard that General Chen sent people to Dengzhou last time to ask for iron materials and ships, so he returned empty-handed, and our family only learned later, so I felt that the people below were really not like talking, this time I went back to Dengzhou, our family also wanted to fight with Lord Sun, and the people who did not give money and food materials to the officials poured into some villain's money bags, so what is the use, how can this solve the emperor's worries." ”

Chen Xin saw that he said so clearly, and said respectfully: "Thank you for the care of the supervising army, the last general admires in his heart, in the future, only the adults and horses will be the first to look forward, this time the Wendeng camp is so badly damaged, it is because the iron and ships did not arrive last time, the soldiers are not in good armor, and the soldiers transported are very few, the last general thought, at this time, Lord Sun must not know, but the person who does the work will be impeached in the Tang newspaper, and the emperor must be asked to investigate thoroughly, in order to comfort the heroic souls of the soldiers who died in the war." ”

This first cannonball is here, as long as someone comes to check it, not only the iron ships, but all the military towns can't stand the inspection, especially now that Wen Tiren has it.

In fact, Chen Xin has a good impression of Sun Yuanhua personally, after all, he is much more reliable than ordinary officials, but in different camps, he has to do so. He estimated that if his cannonball went up with the good news, Lu Zhi and Wen Tiren would be able to make Sun Yuanhua anxious, but it would not be easy to get Sun Yuanhua to step down, first, Sun Yuanhua was the governor of Denglai, how could this military merit be counted as part of him, and second, Zhou Yanru was not easy to deal with.

Chen Xin gave Lu Zhi cannonballs, Lu Zhi would naturally fight for him for supplies, money and food, Lu Zhi was originally weak in Denglai, but now with the victory on Phi Dao, he has some prestige and henchmen, and then he wants to take some power from the governor and turn it into actual interests.

"After General Chen finishes writing the Tang newspaper, you can copy a copy and send it to our family, and our family will deliver it to Banzai from the internal prison, so as not to delay in the middle."

"The subordinate obeys." Chen Xin was in collusion with Lu Zhi, and he looked up into the distance, where the last few cavalrymen of the Jiannu rearguard turned a corner and disappeared from view.

Chongzhen's four-year battle of Phi Dao ended, and the Houjin suffered heavy losses, far exceeding the original history of the "twine hall victory", the Ming army not only annihilated nearly a thousand Zhenyi, but also captured the real white flag Gushan Zhenkake Duli alive, which was a great defeat that the Houjin had never suffered. With the return of some of the remnants of the Later Jin and the Koreans to the shore, the prestige of the Wendeng camp spread among the Later Jin army, and the Xuanchuan and other places spread even more, and the outrageous rumor that the Ming Dynasty had a heavenly army, only 200 people came, and tens of thousands of Jiannu were killed.

Wendeng battalion gained prestige, but also began to be really valued by the Houjin, this army is the third time to the Houjin soldiers to hit hard, in addition to the heart-wrenching losses, what is more hateful is that Yan zhòng affected the strategic goal of Huang Taiji, become the thorn in the eye of the Houjin must be removed, the new contest will be more cruel. rs
