Chapter 921: An Unjoyable Victory (2)

When the 40,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army led by Zheng Xunrui participated in the battle, the battle situation had been completely determined.

Even Zheng Xunrui couldn't believe that the 150,000 Eight Banners Army was stationed between Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou, although Zheng Xunrui planned the tactics of closing the door and beating dogs, but he also knew that it was impossible to completely exterminate the 150,000 people, and he could kill about 100,000 people, even if it was very good, judging from the information obtained now, the total number of the Eight Banners Army in the first stage of the battle, the killing and capture of the Eight Banners Army was probably close to 130,000, which was equivalent to the total annihilation of the Eight Banners Army led by Abatai.

However, the Zheng family army also put a lot of troops into battle, the front army of 50,000, plus the Chinese army of 70,000, a total of 120,000, that is to say, in the final battle, the total strength of the two sides reached 270,000, this huge number, thinking about it makes people feel chilling.

The battle continues, the Zheng family army occupies an absolute advantage, the encirclement has been formed, and the circle is still struggling with the Eight Banners Army, but such a struggle can not last too long, as the saying goes, defeat is like a mountain, and now Abatai can no longer think of any good way, and he can't reverse the end of defeat.

Zheng Xunrui didn't need to participate in the fight, and the soldiers around him were vigilant about everything around him.

As the emperor and the soul of the Zheng family, as long as Zheng Xunrui is here, he is the greatest encouragement to the soldiers of the Zheng family, and all the soldiers will fight desperately.

Abatai's feeling was complete despair, he couldn't have imagined that the army was about to break through the defensive formation of the Zheng family's army, but at this critical moment, the reinforcements of the Zheng family's army arrived, and these Zheng family's army sergeants joined the fighting camp, which led to the comprehensive contraction and retreat of the army under his command. To Abatai's surprise, the Zheng family army sergeant who came to the aid was not all the main force, and after a night, Abatai, who saw hope, launched a powerful attack again. Attempted to break through the incomparably strong defensive formation of the Zheng family's army, but the reinforcements of the Zheng family's army arrived again.

This time, Abatai was powerless, and all the troops under his command were surrounded, and they were only struggling.

Seeing that the army was about to collapse, Abatai attempted suicide several times, but was blocked by his own soldiers.

Tan Tai and Sonny and others persuaded Abatai to break through the siege, and at this time led the elite Manchu Eight Banners and Mengba Banners. There is still a chance to break through, after all, there are too many people fighting on the battlefield, but Abatai refused to break through, he gave an order, Tan Tai and Sonny led the Manba Banner and Meng Baqi to evacuate, and quickly reported the situation here to Huang Taiji in Shenyang, and the rest of the banner owners of the Eight Banners of Khan, including Geng Zhongming. Fight here with him and fight until the last moment.

Tan Tai and Sony did not insist. They led some of the most elite soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Eight Banners of Mongolia to break through the siege, and after a fierce battle, the two of them rushed towards the direction of Quang Ninh with less than 2,000 Eight Banner soldiers.

Geng Zhongming also wanted to evacuate, not to Shenyang, the battle situation was like this. Geng Zhongming knew very well that even if he went to Shenyang, he would not have good fruits to eat, and with such a big failure, Huang Taiji would definitely be furious. Geng Zhongming, who is a Han Chinese, cannot be spared, and it is good to be thrown into prison, maybe he will be dragged out and beheaded.

Geng Zhongming thought that after evacuating, find a place to live in seclusion, the Ming Dynasty is so big, wherever he goes, he can hide, as for money, he collected some in Shenyang and other places, and when the world is calm, take out the money, be a rich man, you can still live, the battle between the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with him Geng Zhongming.

It's a pity that Geng Zhongming's wishful thinking will never succeed, and the personal soldiers around Abatai are watching him firmly to prevent him from escaping while he is in chaos.

Geng Zhongming was reluctant to commit suicide, in his opinion, as long as he didn't die, surrendering to the Zheng family army would be the same, and he would be able to save his life anyway.

Zu Zerun, Liu Zhiyuan, Shi Tingzhu and Wu Shoujin and others, are desperately fighting, they didn't think of surrendering, Bayan needless to say, they are full of people, these Khan Eight Banners of the banner owners, are all loyal to the Emperor Taiji, no matter what kind of situation they encounter, they will not surrender, and even when the fight is nearing the end, Abatai asked everyone to evacuate, Zu Zerun and others did not agree, most of them were Ming generals before, after returning to the Qing Dynasty, there was no chance to turn back, At this moment, there is only a desperate fight.

By the time it was almost dark, the battle was almost over.

Zheng Jinhong, Yang He, Liu Zeqing, Wang Xiaoer, Su Manzi, Su Congjin, Ma Xianglin and Wu Sangui came to Zheng Xunrui, and everyone knelt down in unison to salute Zheng Xunrui.

Seeing the situation of everyone, Zheng Xunrui was a little moved, especially Yang He, the old man with a swollen left arm, almost no blood on his face, and the rest of the people were no better, everyone had blood on their bodies.

Needless to say, from the bodies of many senior generals of the Zheng family's army, Zheng Xunrui knew how tragic this battle was.

When the herald came to report the battle situation, he did not mention the casualties of the Zheng family's soldiers, and Zheng Xunrui would not ask.

Sporadic fighting continues, but the work of cleaning up the gains has begun.

For the first time, Abatai's body was taken to the tent of the Provisional Chinese Army.

Abatai did not fight to death on the battlefield, but committed suicide, as the Eight Banners Army under his command was gradually wiped out, Abatai knew his end very well, it was better to kill himself.

Geng Zhongming's body was brought over for the second time, and after Wang Xiaoer looked at the scar on Geng Zhongming's neck, he judged that Geng Zhongming did not commit suicide, but was very likely to have been killed, and Geng Zhongming's body and Abatai's corpse were found in the same place, which shows that Geng Zhongming was most likely killed by Abatai or his own soldiers.

Zheng Xunrui frowned slightly, it seems that after the defeat, Abatai must have gone crazy at the last moment.

The corpses of Zu Zerun, Liu Zhiyuan, Shi Tingzhu, Wu Shoujin and others were carried over one after another, and these people had a lot of blood stains on their bodies and their faces were also covered with blood stains, and they seemed to have been killed in the fight.

When Zheng Xunrui looked at these people, there was a look of disgust in his eyes.

In Zheng Xunrui's view, it is understandable to be forced to surrender to Huang Taiji to a certain extent, but it is difficult to say if you are loyal to the enemy after returning to obedience, especially when you are fighting and fighting, you have to fight to the end, which is not worthy of sympathy.

To this extent, Hong Chengchou's choice is much stronger than Zu Zerun and others.

Seeing Zu Zerun's corpse, Zheng Xunrui also thought of Zu Dashou, and I don't know how this former Shanhaiguan general soldier who returned to Huang Taiji felt after learning such news.

The action of clearing the battlefield is very fast.

The Zheng Jiajun has recovered all the castles from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, including the Dalinghe City in front, which is also within reach, that is to say, the Zheng Jiajun has restored the Guanning Jin defense line created by Sun Chengzong.

However, this is not Zheng Xunrui's purpose, so far, the entire battle, that is, the completion of the first part of the Liaodong Campaign, but this part of the battle is very perfect.

A day and a night passed.

Part of the battle report is finally out.

This part is the casualties of the Zheng family's soldiers.

In the battle, which lasted for more than half a month, Zheng Jiajun lost more than 27,000 casualties, including more than 30 guerrilla generals, and the soldiers killed were mainly concentrated in the front army, in addition to more than 2,000 seriously wounded, and minor injuries are not counted for the time being.

In most of the battle, the number of dead and seriously wounded of the Zheng family army was close to 30,000, accounting for one-fifth of the army.

Hearing the report of the results, Zheng Xunrui was stunned.

He never thought that the losses of the Zheng family army would be so heavy, the Zheng family army since its creation, there have never been such heavy casualties, the front army led by Zheng Jinhong only 50,000 people, in less than ten days of fighting, more than 24,000 people were killed, and nearly 2,000 people were seriously injured, that is to say, more than half of the troops were lost, but even in this case, they were still like nails, holding their positions and preventing the Eight Banners Army from escaping.

What is this, this is the soul of the army.

Tears appeared in Zheng Xunrui's eyes, and when he stood up, his body trembled slightly.

Yes, Zheng Jiajun has achieved an incredible victory, but this is all in exchange for the lives of Zheng Jiajun's soldiers, deep down, Zheng Xunrui knows very well that such a large casualty of Zheng Jiajun is the result of its own strategic deployment, if you choose to fight steadily, maybe there will not be such a heavy loss.

Ci is not in charge of the army, from the overall battle situation, the victory of the battle in Liaodong has dealt a heavy blow to Huang Taiji and the Qing Dynasty, it can be said that at this time, Huang Taiji needs to consider how to continue to maintain the Qing Dynasty, whether to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and surrender to the Zheng army.

Two days later, the corpses of the Eight Banners Army were almost cleaned up.

Including the Battle of Jinzhou, in most of the month, according to Zheng Xunrui's deployment, the Zheng family army exterminated more than 120,000 people of the Eighth Banner Army, including more than 30,000 people who surrendered, and with a loss of 30,000 people, exterminated the 120,000 people of the Eighth Banner Army, which was indeed a huge victory.

Zheng Xunrui issued a holy decree to mourn the fallen soldiers of the Zheng family.

Zheng Xunrui personally lit the pyre where the corpses were burned, it was the middle of summer, and the corpses had to be disposed of, so whether it was the corpses of the soldiers of the Zheng family army or the corpses of the soldiers of the Eight Banners Army, all of them had to be burned, otherwise it would cause a plague.

This time the major victory, Zheng Jiajun did not celebrate.

After Chen Bing Dalinghe City, Zheng Jiajun temporarily rested and waited for the next battle order.

When Zheng Jinhong and the others entered the wing, they saw that on the map, the arrow had pointed directly to Shenyang, which was the capital of the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor stood on the side with his back hand and didn't say anything.

Zheng Jinhong and others understood what the emperor meant, and the next battle plan of the Zheng family's army was to quickly cross the Liao River and launch an attack on Shenyang.

It seems that the heavy casualties of the soldiers of the Zheng family army in this battle deeply stabbed the emperor and prompted the emperor to be ruthless. (To be continued.) )
