Wang Dou watched silently, sighing in his heart, how would their families grieve if the warriors died in battle?

And this is just the beginning, after the end of the war, I don't know how many loyal and brave soldiers will die on this land. Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.info{ }

For the casualties of the sergeants, Hong Chengchou and others are accustomed to it, and many people still think that Wang Dou treats the soldiers under his command too favorably, although such an army comes out and dares to fight, but few people in the Ming Dynasty can afford to raise it.

Zhang Ruoqi praised even more, Fu Hu soldiers are five and Han soldiers are one, and now Jingbian army can be ten slave soldiers.

In this battle, the Qing troops were defeated and retreated, and they never attacked again, Hong Chengchou took the opportunity to order the troops to prepare Cai Maode, and led a large number of people to dig a trench between the Loess Ridge and the Songshan Ridge.

In the Shen period, Wang Dou and others were rewarded by the sentinel cavalry, and the Qing cavalry of Songshan Ridge continued to retreat, and they had abandoned the strong wall of the mountain range.

This is really an unexpected joy, the trench between the two ridges has not been dug up, and the Qing army retreated by itself.

And without the echo of the Qing cavalry of the Songshan Ridge, the Ming army could besiege the mountain from the west and south sides of the Loess Ridge, and even around to the east side of the Loess Ridge from three sides.

However, at the beginning of the unitary period, Wang Dou, Hong Chengchou and others were rewarded by the sentinel cavalry, and the Qing army in Loess Ridge also began to retreat.

They also took all the artillery with them, and they retreated to camp in the direction of the Pingchuan hills around Shimen Mountain to Xiaoling River. Some of their soldiers and horses crossed the Xiaoling River and were stationed on the Pingchuan Plain River southeast of Xiaolinghe Fort.

When the Qing cavalry retreated, many generals were moved and wanted to pursue, but they were resolutely stopped by Wang Dou and Hong Chengchou.

The Ming army has already achieved the predetermined goal, so it is better to accept it when it is good, and not to be greedy for merit. Moreover, the Qing army retreated without chaos. There is no opportunity to take advantage of it, so don't chase after the poor, so as not to breed accidents.

Afterwards. The Jingbian army did not collect the night and found out, and the Qing cavalry was more than 10,000 people, so they ambushed the east side of Rufeng Mountain. made many generals who advocated pursuit break out in a cold sweat.

The Qing cavalry retreated, followed by Yang Guozhu and Li Fuming, occupied the Loess Ridge and set up camp up and down the mountain. The armies of Wang Dou, Wang Pu and Fu Yingchong also moved to camp and stationed in the hilly areas of the southern Loess Mountains. Not far to the east of Daying, it is the Xiaoling River, which is convenient for getting water and drinking water.

Zuo Guangxian, the commander of the reinforcement army. The soldiers and horses of Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan. It occupied the Songshan Ridge and set up camp on the ridge. The Ma Ke and Tang Tong armies remained unchanged and were still stationed west of Songshan Fort. As for some local officials and generals in Liaodong, they are still camped on the edge of Songshan Fort.

As a result, the battle on August 3, the 14th year of Chongzhen, also came to an end.

……

Overall, there were victories and defeats in this battle, when counting the casualties of the Ming army, Hong Chengchou, Wang Chengen and others were startled, and the casualties of the Ming army were not small in a one-day battle.

Among the armies participating in the war, although the Jingbian Army experienced fierce battles and suffered more than 600 casualties, the most of them were more than 200 killed in the battle.

Although the rout was short, the number of casualties and missing was quite large, more than 5,000 people, reaching more than 5,600 people, and more than 3,000 people died, among which there were many generals above the general level who were killed or captured.

When the Jizhen army was finished, when the general soldier Bai Guangen led the army to fight in Liaodong, it was claimed to be 20,000, and the actual number was 16,700, and 3,000 people were left in the camp in this battle, and more than 14,000 people were pulled out. After the first battle, the loss of soldiers and horses reached 30%, and it has been abolished.

Their rout also caused many people to be killed or injured, and Bai Guangen was even killed on the spot, and even his body was taken away by the Qing army.

Although some of their men and horses were killed by the Jingbian army during the rout, the casualties of these people naturally should be counted on the heads of the Qing soldiers.

The Jingbian Army suppressed the rout and stopped them from storming the main formation, which was the general rule at that time, and no one could make irresponsible remarks or criticize them. …,

Knowing the casualties of the Jizhen soldiers, Hong Chengchou and the others turned pale, if it weren't for the Jingbian army to fight, they beheaded a lot, and even beheaded the slave chief Azig, the saint learned that he would definitely be strictly responsible, maybe Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, would not be guaranteed.

There are also a lot of losses in the mountains and seas of Ma Ke, they were shelled by the Qing army, plus the reckless seizure of artillery, Ma Ke's command, casualties amounted to more than 1,700 people, more than 820 people were killed on the spot, and the remaining wounded were hit by Qing artillery or bird guns, and many people were afraid that they would not be able to live in the future.

There were also more than 200 casualties among Tang Tong's subordinates, and it is estimated that more than 100 people may die in the end.

They suffered such heavy casualties, many of them were still elite cavalrymen of the Ma Kezheng Barracks, but they did not hurt a single person or horse of the Eight Banners Han Army, and they did not hit a single head.

Ma Ke is also finished, he is in the barracks with a lot of vitality, I am afraid that he will not be able to control the people and horses of Shanhaiguan in the future, and he, the chief soldier, is afraid that he will do it.

Although there were more than 500 casualties among his subordinates and more than 100 casualties, they also won more than 80 heads, and the casualties of the Qing cavalry were as many as him, and perhaps there were more than exceeding.

Li Fuming, the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, suffered more than 400 casualties among his subordinates, and more than 200 were killed, mostly through mountains and flats, and were killed and wounded by Qing artillery artillery, or by fragments of chariots. He didn't attack the mountains for a long time, and when the Qing army retreated, Li Fuming took the opportunity to lead his family to attack and win more than 20 heads, which was considered decent.

Yang Guozhu's department suffered more than 600 casualties, more than 300 people were killed, and Li Fuming, many of them were caused by the Qing army's guns, but he won more than 400 heads, counting some of the wounded corpses taken away by the Qing army, in this battle, the casualties caused by his department to the Qing soldiers reached more than 1,000 people, and the combat power was outstanding.

In addition to the artillery unit, more than 2,000 people of the Shenji Battalion were deployed on the left flank of the Jingbian Army, and the Qing army was raining down on cavalry and archery, and in a short period of time, their casualties reached more than 500 people, but due to the timely rescue, no more than 100 people were killed in battle.

In fact, since participating in the war, their artillery units have performed outstandingly, and the damage caused to the Qing cavalry is not small, and their disadvantage is that they dare not fight in close combat, and they can fire artillery from a distance, which is no problem.

Similarly, Wu Sangui's Ning Yuan army suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and also killed and injured a lot of Qing cavalry, but at the beginning, because of the tight defense of the car camp, there were not many heads, only later followed the cavalry of the Jingbian Army to pick up the cheap, quite a success. Presumably, after the battle, Wang Dou gave them at least hundreds of heads.

According to such statistics, today's battle, not counting the casualties of the people, Guangguang army. There are nearly 10,000 people. More than 4,000 people were killed, nearly 5,000 people.

At the beginning of the battle, more than 4,000 people were killed. And also died a general soldier, many generals? Everyone at the meeting had serious faces.

Fortunately, the loss of Qingqi is also not small. According to the estimation of Hong Chengchou and others, their total casualties will not be less than 7,000.

In particular, the majority of their casualties were caused in the battle with the Jingbian Army, and they were either hit by artillery or guns. Even if those injured are recovered, can they be treated with backward medical means? The final death toll. It should be around five or six thousand.

Wang Shi also killed one of them, the king of Wuying County, and the final result of this battle can be regarded as a great victory for the Ming army.

That's where the Cannon Bird excels. Hit by a bow and arrow. Nine dead and three lives, hit the bird gun. Nine deaths and one life, or ten deaths and no life.

However, in this battle, the artillery of the Qing army began to show its edge, and it was necessary to guard against it.

……

In the spacious hall of the governor of Songshan Fort, Hong Chengchou's elegant voice with a slight Fujian accent echoed: "...... In this battle, the loyal and brave man should be the first merit, and the Yang soldiers fought hard, killed a lot of captives, and captured the Loess Ridge, which should be the second merit. Wu soldiers are among the ten thousand captives, all of them take care of the infantry battalion, and they are sharp in the south blockage, and they are also worthy of success. The horsemen failed to anticipate the Western Turf, and there were many mourning horses, which was also ...... because of the lack of careful command"...,

At this time, the governor's hall was full of civilian, military and military generals, not only the general soldiers Yang Guozhu, Wang Dou, Fu Yingchong, Li Fuming, Wang Pu, Zuo Guangxian, Ma Ke, Tang Tong, Wu Sangui and others around Songshan Fort were seated, and even Liu Zhaoji, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Tingchen, who were far away in Xingshan Fort, were also urgently summoned by Hong Chengchou to participate in this summary meeting.

Xingshan is not far from Songshan, but more than ten miles away, Cao Bianjiao and others, hurry up and whip, soon arrive, at this time, among the general soldiers, only the original Ji Town general soldier Bai Guangen is missing.

In this war, it is obvious that Wang Doujing's border army should be the first contribution.

This is the case, and over the years, everyone also knows more or less about Wang Dou's style, and there is a lot of taste of those who follow me and die, and those who go against me will die.

Moreover, Wang Dou is generous, and the friendly troops who kill the enemy side by side can be divided into many military merits, and there is no need for each person to grab the merits. Therefore, Zhongyongbo was listed as the first merit by Hong Chengchou, and it was expected by everyone, not to mention Yang Guozhu, Wang Pu, Fu Yingchong and others, even Wu Sangui spoke out in support.

Then Yang Guozhu, Fu Yingchong and Wu Sangui were listed as secondary merits, which was quite criticized.

Yang Guozhu has strong soldiers and horses, hard work, and General Zhenshuo, no one dares to say about him, Fu Yingchong's Shenji Battalion artillery is quite eye-catching, and all parties will rely on it a lot in the future.

It is mainly Wu Sangui, who seems to have failed to provide assistance when the Jizhen army was defeated and retreated, and was suspected of not saving him when he saw death.

However, Wu Sangui also has his own reasons, Bai Guangen lost too quickly, which caught him off guard, and he didn't have time to rescue him. Moreover, at that time, the Qing army was in a hurry, and the situation was critical, and he could not spare troops and horses to help.

Zu Dale and other local Liaodong generals strongly supported Wu Sangui's statement.

Hong Chengchou and Qiu Minyang, the governor of Liaodong, also felt that Wu Sangui was too mean to blame for the situation at that time.

At the critical time, Wu Sangui's Ning Yuan army was able to hold its position and wait for the arrival of the Jingbian army, which was quite rare, and then Wu Sangui led the army to kill the enemy bravely and won a lot, and it was natural that it was listed as a second merit with Yang Guozhu.

Wang Chengen, the superintendent, seemed to be moved by Hong Chengchou's words and supported his statement, and then the civil officials in Liaodong echoed their voices.

Wang Dou watched coldly, Hong Chengchou recruited the local officials of Liaodong to confront him, how could he not see it?

Wang Chengen, the supervisor of the army, should be out of balance considerations, the official general in the field, he is not inclined to anyone, after all, he is only loyal to the emperor.

Perhaps he saw that the officials and generals in the field were too powerful and needed to be pressed, so he supported Hong Chengchou.

Only Zhang Ruoqi and Wang Pu are dissatisfied, but at this point, Zhang Ruoqi is helpless, he can work with Hong Chengchou to draw up a strategy and urge the troops, but in terms of meritorious deeds, it is the power of Hong Chengchou and Wang Chengen, the supervisor, and he can't interfere.

Wang Pu believes that Hong Chengchou favors one over the other, although he has not many heads, but the Datong army is in the northwest flank, blocking the attack of the Tartar soldiers on the Loess Ridge from the flank, and intercepting the artillery transported by the Han army flag afterwards, the credit will not be less than Wu Sangui, but let it climb on his head.

Dissatisfied with dissatisfaction, he won a lot in this battle, and he was still happy in terms of credit, and Wang Dou gave him some heads, and Fu Yingchong exchanged heads and beamed with joy.

Of the people in the field, only Ma Ke hung his head, did not get the credit, and lost his soldiers.

Hong Chengchou even thought that he was greedy for merit and his command was not thorough, so he planned to demote him to three levels, wear the crime and make meritorious service, and still serve as the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and he will fly together with the good news and report it to the Holy Lord for approval.

There is also Miyun General Tang Tong, who was also demoted by one level.

However, the two also heard the meaning of protection outside Hong Chengchou's words. Although the two of them were condemned, but the actual job is still there, in the year of the Ming Dynasty, the real job and the soldiers and horses are the most important, and the rest of the people are in vain, they are all superintendents, and they all know what they do, and everyone doesn't care much about it. …,

Moreover, the two also heard the news that Hong Du planned to transfer a part of the main barracks of the Jizhen Army to their battalion to make up for their lost soldiers and horses.

After the Jingbian army collected the rout of Jizhen, it was quickly handed over to Hong Chengchou's Chinese army array, and the weapons and horses were also returned.

These ruffians and ruffians, Wang Dou has no interest in annexation, their weapons are bad, the horses are thin, according to Qi Jiguang said, that is: "The messenger wins thin, and the temporary only the armor and the army itself can't be, if you hedge with other horses, there is no reason for this." ”

The Jingbian army was well-armed, and the horses were well fed, so Wang Dou naturally looked down on their mules and horses, and generously returned them all, but won the reputation of not being greedy and treating friendly troops well.

However, Wang Dou can't look at it, it doesn't mean that others can't look at it, how many pairs of eyes are blazing, just staring at the remaining soldiers and horses in Jizhen, even Yang Guozhu is quite moved.

In this battle, the Jizhen army was defeated, and the general soldier Bai Guangen was killed, and it was just that, and the imperial court must be posthumously sealed, but this defeat stemmed from the early rout of the car battalions, and finally involved Bai Guangen's main barracks.

And at this time, there is Wang Dou, this person hates the rebel army the most, if the rest of the Jizhen army dares to riot, it will be the result of thunder suppression. Moreover, because of the incompetence of the officials and generals under the jurisdiction, even the general soldiers were involved in the death, and all the general soldiers gathered in Liaodong at this time had a sense of sadness for the death of rabbits and foxes, and they all advocated severe punishment.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou and Wang Chengen were merciless, and the officials of Jizhen were convicted, and after reporting to the imperial court, they were soon the result of Jinyiwei's arrest and entry into Beijing.

However, the Ming Dynasty has a characteristic that the handling of criminal officers and generals gives priority to civilian officials, and then military generals, low-level officers and small soldiers generally do not deal with it.

There are more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left in these Jizhen towns, which are temporarily managed by Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao. All parties are eyeing each other, maybe the new general soldier of Jizhen has not yet taken office, one in the east and one in the west, and it is difficult to say how many people will be left in the end.

Ma Ke and Tang Tong are naturally the objects of coveting these Jizhen soldiers, and there is no substantive treatment, and there are soldiers and horses to supplement, so when the two of them were strict with Hong Chengchou's words, both of them looked respectful, and Tang Tong looked even more bowed.

Ma Ke was also glad in his heart that the two Tartars of the Han Army Banner quickly left after they captured the artillery, otherwise they would not know how many soldiers and horses they would lose under their shelling.

He had already made up his mind that he would never fight against those Tartar guns of the Han Army Banner in the future, but the real Tartars were sharp in cavalry, and it was so easy to fight against them?

Marco was at a loss, feeling that the future was bleak.
