The Liaodong Army continued to use cavalry battle groups to ram the remaining rebel left flank resistance groups. However, those war groups and the scattered rebel soldiers also blocked the way of the cavalry of the Liaodong Army.

Taking advantage of this time, the rebel Chinese army began to retreat. And the soldiers in the rear of the rebel right flank also began to retreat. At this time, the coalition forces, which were approaching about 200 paces from the right flank of the rebels, also officially launched a charge.

Seeing the charge of the coalition army from a distance, Zu Dabi mixed his emotions such as contempt, sourness, and lack of anger, and said: "Those Shandong troops are quite good at picking cheap!" ”

Jin Guoqi also replied contemptuously: "Let them have a meat bone to gnaw, what's the big deal?" ”

The generals of Liaodong suddenly let out a burst of laughter.

And the battle between the coalition forces and the right flank of the rebels was also carried out cleanly. It's completely one-sided.

When the coalition charged, most of the rebels on the right flank fled to the rear. A small number of rebel soldiers, on the other hand, knew that if they ran away like this, it would completely turn into a one-sided massacre. So they stayed where they were, ready to repel a coalition charge before retreating.

However, these two completely opposite manifestations immediately disconnected the rebel right flank. As for the conductor beating the water dogs, Liu Zeqing has no problem at all.

Liu Zeqing first commanded the cavalry to bypass it, insert the gap between the two parts of the rebel right flank and the front and rear troops, block the retreat of the resisting rebel right wing soldiers, and then let the infantry phalanx of the coalition army press through, and it didn't take long to surround the right wing soldiers of the rebel army who resisted.

Seeing that they were already in a desperate situation, and after resisting for a while, they felt that there was no hope for the battle, and that part of the rebels surrendered to the coalition forces.

On the battlefield at this time. In addition to the rebel prisoners, there were also sporadic rebel soldiers who were being pursued by cavalry, and the rebel army had all withdrawn from the battlefield. And the Ming army also began to clean up the battlefield and rest.

"My lord! There is a big catch, we just searched our body, and a traitor has forty or fifty taels of silver on him. A general of the coalition army rushed to Wu Shigong and Liu Zeqing, the military attaches of the coalition army, and said.

"Oh?" The eyes of all the coalition military attachés lit up. Liu Zeqing also immediately ordered, "Strip all those traitors, whether dead or alive." Let the sons and daughters clean their hands and feet, and gather together all the silver that has been taken. After the war, we will distribute it together. ”

Liu Zeqing's consideration is very thoughtful. In the end, the coalition army was also united by various Ming armies, and it was best to adopt the method of post-war distribution at this time. lest on the battlefield in order to snatch and capture, hurt the feelings between fraternal troops.

"Let the soldiers pushing the cart also go to the Liaodong Army, be more humble, and tell them. We were there to help bury the bodies. We don't want the heads of those corpses, the reason we do it. Just to pick up a few more tattered pieces of rebel armor. Wu Shigong said on the side.

Heard the idea of this yin man. The military attaches of the coalition forces immediately let out a loud roar. Liu Zeqing smiled and ordered the grinning general: "Don't go quickly, pay attention, don't show the Liaodong Army a flaw." ”

But the Liaodong Army is not a fool after all. At first, they thought that the coalition forces really took the initiative to do the dirty work of burying the corpses and pat themselves on the back after seeing their strong combat effectiveness. And those tattered armor, the Liaodong Army, which has sufficient military spending, is not eye-catching. Therefore, send these tattered armor to the coalition forces.

But the Liaodong Army also quickly discovered the secret that the rebel soldiers were carrying a large amount of silver, but at this time, the coalition forces had already transported back dozens of carts of corpses, after some dispute and negotiation. There was no way to deal with the corpses of the rebels that had been transported back, but the Liaodong Army also robbed more than a dozen horses and carts of the coalition army to relieve their anger. And the Liaodong Army was also indignant against the coalition forces that placed them together.

In this battle of Shahe, more than 4,300 rebels were killed (all beheaded) and captured. Among them, more than 1,100 rebels were killed or captured by the coalition forces. The Liaodong Army suffered more than 150 casualties, and the coalition forces suffered more than 320 casualties, including the casualties of the people in the river blocking battle.

The reason why the casualties of the coalition forces were relatively large was because in the battle between Zuihou and the right-wing rebels, most of the rebels left to resist were the old Liao army of Dongjiang Town, which had strong discipline and strong combat effectiveness.

Eighty-seven war horses were captured, of which 22 were captured by the coalition forces, and in addition to the dozen or so horses that were later robbed by the Liaodong Army, the coalition forces also gained slightly.

More than 43,000 taels of silver were seized. Among them, the coalition forces captured more than 30,000 taels. The reason why the coalition forces gained so much was because the Zuihou coalition forces were mainly facing the old Liao army among the rebels. They have plundered so many cities, and they have laid all the money they have stolen on themselves. So now, all the stolen money has gone to the coalition forces.

The Liaodong Army was a little unlucky. They were mainly faced with soldiers recruited by the rebels in Denglai, so although the Liaodong army killed and captured more soldiers, and was later placed by the coalition army, the silver they captured was far inferior to the coalition army.

In addition, the Liaodong Army and the Allied Army also captured firearms, bows and arrows, armor and weapons. Due to the haste of leaving, all the supplies in the rebel camp were also left behind. And the Liaodong Army, which first controlled the rebel camp, wanted to monopolize this batch of materials and retaliate against the coalition forces.

But who are the main generals and lieutenants of the coalition forces? Let's not talk about Wu Shigong, just look at the main general Liu Zeqing, he is a fierce man who does not hesitate to confront Sheng Yangong in order to grab land in Shandong. Therefore, under the arguments of Liu Zeqing and Wu Shigong, that is, under the threat of fire and fire, the Liaodong Army reluctantly distributed a small part of the supplies to the coalition army.

However, the supplies allocated to the coalition forces were mainly grain and grass. But for the Ming army at this time, they were on the inside line, and there was a sufficient supply of grain and grass behind them, so these grains and grasses were also the least valuable.

It was Wu Shigong who carried forward the style. In addition to selecting twenty pieces of comparative haode armor and these grains and grasses, he gave the rest of the capture to other coalition forces for distribution. This makes everyone happy.

However, for Wu Shigong's sickly hobby of grain and grass, all military attachés, including the officers of the Runing Battalion, are also used to it. But it is inevitable that someone will mutter behind his back: Could it be that Hou Ye's son has been starving since he was a child?

After that, it was the distribution of the silver. However, the military attaches of the coalition forces were all veterans of sharing spoils, and they quickly came up with a set of distribution plans acceptable to all parties according to their respective numbers of soldiers and their respective military exploits.

Of course, Liu Zeqing got the most silver, and Wu Shigong's Runing camp also got a big share. There are more than 10,000 taels. Even Jiang Cheng, who was not present and stayed behind, was given a thousand taels of silver.

When lunch was finished, the whole army marched into the Ming army of the rebel camp, and when the capture was counted and distributed, the cavalry of the Liaodong Army rested and divided into several groups and went out of the camp to pursue the rebels while they were victorious.

Liu Zeqing's eyes were hot, and he discussed with Wu Shigong: "Brother Changjing, are our cavalry also going to be sent out?" ”

Wu Shigong glanced at Liu Zeqing and felt sad that Liu Zeqing was not clear. So Wu Shigong hated the iron and shouted: "You just want to send it out, and the Liaodong Army will not agree!" ”

But Liu Zeqing, who did not give up, still proposed it to Jin Guoqi. As expected, Jin Guoqi sternly refused. Although the reason for refusal is high-sounding, the central idea is: Your coalition army has already taken advantage once, and now you still want to share a piece of our Liaodong Army? Let's go dreaming.

But at this time, Kong Youde's defeated rebels showed their combat effectiveness. The rebels from Dongjiang Town have been fighting guerrilla warfare with the Houjin army. Therefore. They were quite skillful in using tactics such as closing the defeated army and covering and setting up ambushes after retreating.

Therefore, the cavalry of the pursuing Liaodong Army did not achieve much success, but suffered several small losses. The coalition military attachés who learned of this result were hiding in their battalions. snickering at the Liaodong Army's stealing of chickens is not a broken rice.

Not much to say about the small actions between the two Ming armies as the vanguard. Anyway. Relying only on the vanguard of the Ming army, he achieved a great victory in the Battle of Shahe. When the news was sent to Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, who were still leading the main force of the Ming army, they were both immediately ecstatic.

Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian immediately arranged for a messenger to send Lu Bu to the imperial court, and the Liaodong Army and the coalition army could afford this honor. You must know that as long as you kill (with a head) and capture more than 1,000 enemy soldiers, it is enough to kill (with a head) and capture more than 1,000 enemy soldiers, it is enough to pay tribute to the emperor's temple.

Then the main forces of the Ming army accelerated their march. On August 2, the fifth year of Chongzhen, he joined the vanguard. After the meeting, it is time to listen to the reports of the military attaches of the vanguard and give them meritorious service.

In the debriefing, of course. The military attache of the Liaodong Army and the military attache of the coalition army fought a little. For this kind of contradiction, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian are not surprised. It would be strange that there were no contradictions between the various armies of the Ming army. As long as it doesn't affect future operations.

Therefore, after appeasing both sides for a few words, Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian first gave the military attaches in the vanguard a meritorious service. Jin Guoqi, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Army, and Liu Zeqing, Wu Sangui and Chen Zhongzhi, the commander-in-chief of the coalition army, were credited with the first merit. The other vanguard military attachés, including Wu Shigong, were also basically credited with merit. Even Jiang Cheng, who stayed behind, was recorded as a small achievement.

The assessment of this merit is quite lenient, because the current Ming Dynasty court has lacked victory for too long.

And the evaluation of these credits is mainly the result of the compromise between Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian in private. Zhu Dadian's official is the governor of Shandong, so he must be biased towards Liu Zeqing, the local military attache in Shandong; And Gao Qiqian is the Liaodong Prison Army, and he is definitely biased towards the Liaodong Army. So don't attack each other anymore, the two sides should share the fruit and be happy.

Basically, he didn't sleep all night, and it took a lot of energy to quarrel just now, so Wu Shigong was a little sleepy when he listened to the memorization. He didn't care how he remembered his credit, and he couldn't run away from his credit anyway.

When the military discussion was over, Wu Shigong couldn't help but yawn. Suddenly, he was surprised to vaguely find that a young martial artist had been left in the big tent.

Through the crack in the door of the big tent, Wu Shigong found that the young military general kowtowed to Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian, and said, "Godfather, Master Zhu." Then the felt at the door of the tent was lowered.

Wu Shigong was a little curious, so he asked Liu Zeqing: "Who is the person who stayed?" ”

Liu Zeqing pursed his lips and said: "It's Wu Sangui, the young military general who is known as the world's first loyal and brave general!" (To be continued......)
