Chapter 138: Capturing the Concubine of Bayo

"Everyone!"

Seeing this, Engdel, who was on horseback under the earthen city, was furious and immediately wanted to raise troops to rescue his wife and children.

However, at this moment, Shuo Zhen grabbed him, and said with a sad face:

"It's too late, if we change the formation now, the Ming army will attack us together with the people of Beicheng, and the concubine's Lele chariot formation will also be broken."

"So what now?!" Furious, Engdel questioned loudly, as if Shuo Zhi couldn't say anything, and he wanted to take people away.

The Lele chariot formation is a kind of defensive chariot formation that appeared after the Mongols were hurt by Qi Jiguang, imitating the Qijia army chariot formation, and defended with a chariot formation that pulled the yurt, but because the arrow missed and did not wear the triple armor of Yulinwei, it was only a matter of time before it was broken.

Engdel's expression and tone were urgent, and his performance showed that his anger was ignited.

"It's working...... Shuo Zhi chuckled inwardly, but on the surface, he angrily drew his sword and pointed at Yu Linwei in the distance, and roared angrily: "Defeat them first, and then go and save people!" ”

"Sons and grandsons of Nalibulataiji! Revenge for your loved ones! Kill! Engdel was carried away, unaware that it had all come from the hands of Shuo.

"Kill!"

Knowing that their relatives were surrounded, all the Mongol cavalry of the Bayo Department seemed to be ignited, and rushed towards the Ming army without fear of death, with their bows and arrows drawn up, ready to face at any time.

"Good time!"

Before the battle, Man Gui clearly knew that this was a manifestation of the other party's anger when he knew that the women and children were intercepted and killed, but the anger was also easy to get carried away, resulting in defeat!

"Kill!" Man Gui drew his sword and pointed at the sky, and the Yulin guards on both sides behind him rushed out one after another.

Under the arch of Yu Linwei, he commanded the army to charge towards the combined forces of Bayo and Shuo.

"Boom!

! ”

The two prepared iron cannons roared, and the solid bullets fired towards Yu Linwei.

Although Man Gui arranged the formation in advance and reduced the casualties, two three-pound solid bullets still shattered the two war horses in an instant, and even pierced the body of the war horse and smashed it on the neck of the war horse in the rear.

The two cannons were fired, and in an instant, the six or seven horsemen in the Yulin Guard formation fell to the ground, rolled to the ground, and then were trampled and seriously injured by the war horses that could not be stopped in the rear.

The distance of one mile is only a few breaths for the two armies.

The two armies are approaching, and the person in charge of taking the lead is Jia Lae Zhen under the command of Shuo Order, he led more than 1,000 Houjin cavalry as the front, the hard bow in his hand has been pulled, ready to face to kill a group of Ming troops and then turn back.

The distance is getting closer and closer, and as the distance gets closer, Shuo Zhen also saw the riding gun similar to a crutch gun in the hands of the Ming army, and he yelled at everyone:

"It's a Victorious Franc!"

However, his voice was so small that it was drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves, and the two armies approached unsurprisingly.

Fifty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps......

Seeing that the distance was only twenty paces, both the Houjin side and the Mongols were ready to shoot arrows in a roundabout way.

Just when their Ming army would also make a roundabout attack like the cavalry of the Ming army in Liaodong, Yu Linwei rushed straight in the form of more than 40 teams, and then raised his gun and pulled the trigger......

"Bang bang bang-"

A dense sound exploded, and the lead bullet was pushed by gunpowder and shot down the barrel, and the next second it hit the Houjin cavalry and the Mongolian cavalry, who were not ready to shoot bows and arrows.

For a while, the picture of the horses screaming and the corpses falling appeared, but it was just a round of sudden guns, and one or two hundred people were planted from the horses.

Shuo Shan narrowly escaped, but he tripped over the dead horses in front of him, and countless tripped cavalrymen fell out one after another, flying several meters before falling on the grass.

Some of them got up, but they were hit and trampled by their own horses, but their own army could not avoid them.

"Kill!

! ”

Rushing into the enemy line, Man Gui inserted the gun into the bag, pulled out the gourd hammer on the side of the horse and began to swing it.

Those who had fallen from their horses and been thrown out had just stood up when they were smashed in the face by the gourd hammer and the iron bones.

The lucky ones were knocked unconscious, and the unlucky ones were stoned to death in an instant.

"How dare they go short?!"

Engdel felt only a cool breath rush from the spine to his brain.

The cavalry of the Jinmeng coalition was exposed at this time, and their generals misjudged Yu Linwei's tactics.

In the past, the Liaozhen cavalry would retreat in a roundabout way after facing a breakthrough, so the Mongols and Houjin cavalry also chose to make a detour to meet again.

But now, when they were facing a sudden attack, the Ming cavalry actually chose to charge directly into the formation.

This completely caught the Jinmeng coalition army off guard!

They used the method of dealing with the cavalry of Liaozhen to deal with Yu Linwei, which led to a sudden defeat on their own side, and Yu Linwei broke through the formation successfully.

Once the formation was broken, in the face of the already rioting Jinmeng coalition army, the Yulin Guards wearing the top three armor began a one-sided slaughter!

The scimitar became an ornament, and the blunt weapon became the main theme on the battlefield.

However, the four- or five-pound golden gourd hammer smashed a famous Mongolian cavalryman over his horse under the swing of the Yulin guard cavalry.

The sound of shouting killing, shouting pain, hissing, and the sound of gold and iron colliding, the entire battlefield was chaotic for a while.

The soldiers of Mongolia and Later Jin had never seen the cavalry of the Ming army who dared to charge the battle after only one sudden attack.

In previous experience, thousands of Liaozhen cavalry rushed into battle, often only killing dozens of people at a time, so they needed to go back and forth many times to break the formation by grinding blood strips.

But this time it was different, this time the Ming army collapsed the front row in a sudden attack, one or two hundred people fell, and hundreds of people tripped and flew out.

Not to mention that just one round of face attacks disrupted the rhythm of the Jinmeng coalition army, and when they made a detour, they began to rush into battle with preparations, rushing left and right with blunt weapons in hand.

The two sides swept past each other, and at this time, the artillery at the gate of the city opened fire again after the two sides had separated.

With two "booms", the two stone bullets once again took the lives of several Yulin health guards as they had just now.

Man Gui had already made preparations, so after the two armies missed, more than 50 horsemen of a general banner rushed to kill the Han artillery soldiers who were attacking the artillery.

Man Gui led the people back to the station, and without opening their mouths, everyone took out their riding guns and began to reload.

The gunpowder of the smoothbore riding gun was loaded quickly, but it was only three or four breaths, and the difficulty was to stuff the lead bullet into the riding gun.

This process, it takes twenty or thirty seconds for fast people and forty or fifty seconds for slow people, but that's usual.

On horseback, on the battlefield, even the iron man will be flustered, not to mention the Yulin Guards.

Even Man Gui took a lot of time to reload, a full minute, and the others were even more so.

As they reloaded, Engdel led the cavalry far away, and then the army turned back.

At this time, they only saw the corpses in one place.

On the grass, there were all Mongol corpses, a small number of Houjin soldiers, and a few poor Yu Linwei corpses.

Such a change made Engdel suddenly dazed.

Looking around, he realized that the Ming army was just a round of sudden short-range soldiers, and the people around him were visibly missing a small piece.

At this moment, he wanted to fight the horse and leave, because it was a perfect opportunity, but then he saw Shuo Gong struggling to push away the corpse of the dead war horse in the pile of corpses.

"Why did you fall off your horse? Is this still the big Golden Taeji? ”

Engdel really wanted to scold, but then when he saw Yu Linwei who was charging, he immediately looked around and wanted to call Jia La'e Zhen to save Shuo Zhen.

But he looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see the other party's figure, thinking that he was rushing too far and was taken away by the Ming army's Wansheng Furang machine with a shot.

"Don't go and get your master out yet!"

Engdel shouted at the still confused Hou Taurus Lu Ezhen, and several Niu Lu Ezhen also reacted, and hurriedly rode their horses to save Shuo Zhen.

At this time, Yu Linwei had already finished charging, and Man Gui clearly saw the picture of several Niu Lu Ezhen rushing with people.

He thought that Hou Jin wanted to take advantage of their unstable foothold to attack the face again, so he hurriedly said:

"Kill!"

He took the lead and led the Yulin guards to charge towards the Houjin cavalry, and he must take advantage of the gap between the incense sticks of the artillery to defeat the Houjin and expand the results!

"Master!"

A Niu Lu was really galloping fastest, and he leaned over to pull up Shuo Zhen, but Shuo Zhen was still in a daze at this time.

He was thrown out of the war horse and smashed not lightly, his steps were staggering, and after being caught by Niu Lu Ezhen, he instinctively wanted to pull out a knife and slash and kill, but after finding out that it was his own person, he understood everything around him.

In just one round of face-to-face assault, the Houjin and the Mongols killed hundreds of people, a scene that has not been seen for many years.

"The firearms of the Ming army have changed, and we must tell the Great Khan about this!"

Shuo Tsu flipped over an ownerless horse and fled.

Just before he could escape, thousands of Houjin cavalry rushed to kill, and Engdel also tried to sandwich the Yulin Guard cavalry from two sides.

Broken into branches, Yu Linwei rushed out of the four gaps in the bag, and the horse with lead bullet in his hand also exerted his power again.

With the sound of "bang", more than 100 people fell from the horse in Houjin, and 2 or 300 people fell from the Bayo department.

The battle damage has exceeded Shuo Zhi and Engdel's expectations, if they are against the Liaozhen cavalry, the two rounds of casualties will be at most two or three hundred, but at the moment, ......

No way! If we continue to fight like this, the morale of the army will inevitably collapse.

Just as they were about to give the order to retreat, there was a rumbling in the southwest.

Shuo Xu, Engdel and others looked up, but saw a scene of thousands of horses galloping in the distance, led by cavalry dressed in Ming army armor, and more than 100 flags fluttering.

"Reinforcements from the Ming army are coming! Whistle and withdraw! ”

When Shuo's voice fell, he shook the reins of his horse and ordered someone to blow the whistle and leave.

Engdel also saw hundreds of flags and thousands of horses galloping, and in terms of banners, this reinforcement numbered at least a few thousand.

Although he was unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Withdraw!" ”

As he spoke, the sound of hooping sounded, and all the Bayo Mongols who had missed with Yu Linwei did not have time to take the corpses of the others, so they could only flee with Shuo in a hurry.

The original team of more than 4,000 people, after two rounds of gun-to-face guns, only more than 3,000 people remained.

Man Gui brandished a long knife and led Yu Linwei to kill them, but after all, the horsepower was insufficient, and after chasing for several miles, someone fell, and Man Gui could only let Shuo Zhi and Engder go unwillingly.

"White flowers!"

Looking at the fleeing Houjin and Bayo troops, Man Gui dismounted and stomped his feet, very angry.

At this time, Qianhu of the Left Army, who was in charge of going to the north of the city to surround him, brought people to ride his horse and rushed over, and said loudly:

"General, caught a big fish!"

"What?" When Man Gui heard this, he didn't care about recovering his horsepower, so he immediately turned over and rode towards the Qianhu of the left army.

"What big fish?" Man Gui came with a few people on horseback, and the left army Qianhu also smiled:

"Engdel's concubine and all the women and children were captured, and tens of thousands of horses and thousands of cattle and sheep were captured, and the concubine was the daughter of the old slave's younger brother Shuerhaqi."

"Good!" Hearing that his subordinates had actually caught the niece of the old slave, Man Gui immediately ordered the left and right thousand households:

"Gather all the horses, and the lame ones will be used as horses, the inferior ones as horses, and the best ones as military horses."

"Then send someone around to inform the fried flowers and other departments, as well as the sentinels outside the Bayo department."

"Tell the fried flowers, the Bayo Ministry is not subject to the discipline of the Ming Dynasty, and the fornication is gold, and now it has been razed."

"Let them send someone here to discuss things."

"In addition, I will ask someone to change horses and go south, tell Xiong Tingbi of Liaodong Jingluo, and order him to send cavalry to the north to take over the pastures and soil cities of the Bayo Department."

"Tell those sentinels that if they want their families, come here, and I, Mangui, will treat them well and let them not be afraid."

Man Gui's arrangement was very good, and the only thing that went in and out with Zhu Youzhen's plan was to let Xiong Tingbi send troops north.

Therefore, the commander of Yu Linwei next to him also questioned:

"General, what His Highness said is that let's exchange the pasture of the Bayo Department for the pasture in the middle and lower reaches of the Liao River."

"Change, but this city can't be changed!" Man Gui pointed to the field with sorghum in the distance with a horsewhip:

"There are so many fields cultivated here by the people of the Bayo tribe, and it can be used as the frontier of Liaozhen."

"With this city as the boundary, the pastures to the north are allocated to fried flowers, in exchange for the grasslands in the middle and lower reaches of the Liaohe River and Liaoze."

"Yes!" Hearing that Man Gui did not disobey the order of the King of Qi, the commander no longer questioned it, but ordered people to notify the various departments and sentinels, and asked people to collect the war horses scattered on the battlefield and harvest all the heads.

Two quarters of an hour later, when Yu Linwei had finished cleaning the battlefield, more than a thousand cavalry from the north also went south.

They looked at Yu Linwei, who was still harvesting the first rank, from a distance of several miles, but they didn't dare to come forward to attack, just because the corpses all over the ground told them that this Ming army was not ordinary.

After a long time, a cavalry of more than 100 people slowly came out of the ranks, and after they slowly approached, they saw some captured Bayo Mongols.

"I'm Chun Nen Bel of the Zarut Division, and I've come here with the words of Fried Flower Taiji, and your general has called us to discuss it."

A Mongolian nobleman dressed in silk spoke, speaking fluent Chinese, and the cavalry in charge of the guard also stepped forward when he heard it:

"You guys wait here, I'll go and inform General Man!"

After that, he called someone to inform Man Gui, and Man Gui, who was sitting and resting at the base of the city wall, also got the news of Zhong Nen's southward journey after a cup of tea.

In order to show his strength, he called all the Yulin guards except for the guards and outings.

After a big battle, the four thousand feather forest guards went out of the city en masse, and the elite armor stomach made Zhong Nen vigilant, and Man Gui also rode out of the middle horse:

"Ming will be full of Gui, and the opposite side is Zhong Nen Belle of the Zalut Department?"

"It's me!" Zhong Nen responded vigilantly, and then shouted loudly from more than ten meters away:

"Why are you invading Bayo?"

"Invasion of Bayo? This is the territory of my Ming Dynasty, and the Engdal of the Bayo Department is just a herding under the permission of my Ming Dynasty, so don't you need to pay tribute to my Ming Dynasty? Where did the invasion come from? ”

Man Gui first refuted the other party's so-called invasion, and then said:

"That Engdel, colluding with Jianguo, providing food and horses for Jianguo, being leveled by them, and taking back the pasture that should have been!"

"But my Royal Highness the King of Qi of the Great Ming Dynasty heard that Er and the others lost their troops in the Battle of Tieling, so he ordered me to exchange the pasture north of Tucheng in Bayo for the pasture in the middle and lower reaches of the Liao River."

"In the future, my Ming will open a mutual market outside the border in the earthen city of Bayobu, and Chahar and Horqin and you can all come to the mutual market."

"Change the pasture?" Hearing this, Zhong Nen frowned slightly, just because the grassland in the middle and lower reaches was the grassland of Zaisai.

Although Zai Sai was beaten by Nurhachi in Tieling, there were still more than 2,000 men after all.

Changing his pasture is not something that he can call the shots.

However, the pastures in the north of Bayo are indeed very fat, and Zaisai's subordinates have a feud with Houjin, I heard that Zaisai still wants to take revenge, and it is not good to put him in a place close to Houjin, and it is not a bad thing to change the grassland.

Therefore, Zhong Nen said, "I'll go back and ask about the fried flower Taiji, please wait a while." ”

"Go now, go back!" Man Gui waved his horsewhip, and Zhong Nen also turned around and led the people away.

Looking at their departing backs, Man Gui knew that even if he couldn't change the grassland, it was estimated that the barbarian tribes would not dare to come and make enemies with Yulinwei.

Therefore, he looked at the commander next to him and asked, "How is the first harvest?" ”

When the commander heard this, his face was a little regretful and said: "The harvest head is eight hundred and ninety-six, but it is a pity that there are only one hundred and ninety-seven of them, and six hundred and ninety-nine are in the north. ”

"However, most of the Jianlu were shot in the face, or fell from their horses and trampled to death, and most of the Beiyu also had knife wounds and blunt injuries to their faces.

The first level of the Ming Dynasty was very strict before the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the head of the face could not have any injuries such as knife wounds and blunt injuries, which was very unfair to the Ming army who liked to have a sudden face.

Although this is to avoid killing good and risking merit, in the middle and late stages, people are very disgusted by the requirements of the military department.

Zhu Youzhen understood this, so he had already told Man Gui everything before leaving, so Man Gui laughed and said:

"Your Royal Highness has long known that the person in the military department is not a good thing, so he said that the other heads who can't report to the military department will be handed over to the royal horse supervisor for identification, as long as it is a real captive, the silver will be allocated by the imperial horse supervisor."

"I'm afraid there are thirty or forty thousand taels of silver for this beheading, tell the brothers, don't care who kills it, and then the whole army will divide the beheading silver equally!"

"Yes!" Hearing Man Gui's words, the commander breathed a sigh of relief.

If the beheadings are not counted, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Yu Linwei and the other brothers of the Sixteenth Guards to swallow this breath, but fortunately, His Royal Highness is sensible.

However, after being relieved, the commander also reported with a smile:

"The last general inquired about the Han people in the city, and there are more than 27,000 acres of cultivated land in this Bayo Tucheng, and there is a tributary."

"In addition, our army captured more than 9,600 military horses, more than 16,000 horses, 3,600 cattle, and 43,000 sheep."

"This is only the headquarters, the small tribes of sentinels outside add up, there should be a lot of military horses, cattle and sheep."

"We sent troops this time, but we earned a lot of face and money for His Highness!"

"I think the general will be promoted soon."

"Haha......" Man Gui responded with a smile, to put it bluntly, he is also embarrassed at the moment.

Just because he had no military merits, it was impossible for Zhu Youzhen to make him and Sun Yingyuan the chief soldiers or governors of the 16th Guards and the 12th Battalion.

Therefore, they can only command a number of guards and horses with the official position of generals.

But now, it's a great achievement to raze the Bayo, let Engdel and Houjin escape, and destroy Houjin's only ally in Inner Khalkha.

Now he only needs to wait for Xiong Tingbi to send cavalry to the north, then change the grassland with fried flowers, and finally send troops and sheep to attack Kaiyuan and Tieling, and he has achieved the goal of his Royal Highness.

There is no need to worry about this, after all, Sun Yingyuan's soldiers and horses have not yet gone to Zhenjiang.

Thinking of this, Man Gui also got off the horse and sat on the grass, looking at the surrounding grass and fields, his heart was happy.

At the age of forty, he established such a meritorious feat, I am afraid that he will be able to leave a mark in the history books in the future.

Man Gui was happy, but at the same time, someone looked embarrassed.

In the big tent thirty miles north of the Bayo Ministry, a general in his sixties, dressed in silk and Ming army fish scale armor, sat on a high seat, and below him were the leaders of the various tribes with unsightly faces.

The general is Nekhalkha, that is, the leader of the barbarians Fried Flower, the Mongolian name Shuhak Zhuoliktu.

He was nominally the leader of the five Inner Khalkha tribes, with more than 30,000 troops, but after the defeat of Tieling in Zaisai, the strength of the Inner Khalkha was less than 30,000.

In order to redeem Zai Sai, he raised 10,000 oxen and horses, and also took the condition of attaching to Houjin.

Originally, the situation had improved slightly, but now that the Ming army was out of the fortress and wiped out the Bayeux department, Engdel did not know whether to die or live.

Now everyone is very worried, because if the Bayo Ministry is also wiped out, it means that there are only more than 20,000 soldiers and horses in Inner Khalkha.

"Sigh the law ......"

Suddenly, the sound of the war horse sounded, and everyone's mood became nervous, and Zhong Nen, who went to negotiate in the next moment, opened the big tent.

Under everyone's nervous gaze, Zhong Nen said:

"There are about five or six thousand people in the Ming army, and there are nearly a thousand corpses outside the Tucheng of Bayo, many of which are Dajin."

"The Ming army is very elite, and the people wear triple armor, we have to tear our faces with them, and I'm afraid we will also have to fight to break thousands of men."

Hearing Zhong Nen's words, the faces of the various Taiji and Baylor were cloudy, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

"What is the purpose of the Ming army?" The fried flower sitting in the main seat frowned and asked.

"They want to exchange the pastures in the northern part of Bayo for the pastures in the middle and lower reaches of the Liao River, that is, the pastures in Zaisai Taiji." Zhong Nen replied.

"It can't be!"

Suddenly, a man in his forties stood up, and he was the main person who changed the pasture, and was defeated by Nurhachi.

"Sit down first." Fried Flower frowned and motioned for Zai Sai to sit down first.

Zai Sai was very unconvinced, but now his strength was greatly damaged, and fried flowers redeemed him, so he reluctantly sat down.

Seeing Zaisai sit down, Zhong Nen continued:

"The Ming army promised us that after the grassland was replaced, they would open a mutual market outside the customs in Tucheng of the Bayo Department, and both Chahar and Horqin could come to exchange markets."

"Uh-huh......" Hearing this, the fried flowers were silent for a moment.

He is estimating the gains and losses of Khalkha in this matter.

First of all, it is undoubtedly the loss of the Bayo Department and the grasslands in the middle and lower reaches of the Liaohe River, but it can be exchanged for the stationing of the Ming army in the Inner Khalkha steppe and the security of the mutual market outside the Guan.

It is not difficult to see that the interests of Inner Khalkha have naturally been compromised, but compared to the stationing of the Ming army and the mutual market outside the Guan, this is nothing.

The only thing to be sure of is whether Daikin will retaliate against them after negotiating with the Ming army.

After all, they were forced to attach to Houjin only last year, and now they are ......

"If you want me to say, it's nothing to change the pasture of Zaisai, and it doesn't matter if the Bayo tribe is destroyed, they are not worthy of being Mongols!"

Suddenly, Zarut Deon'abel spoke, and such an opening broke the deadlock.

"Yes, how can the Mongols submit to the command of such savages?"

Several of the Baylors, who often robbed Houjin and livestock, also spoke, apparently with Mongol pride.

In their opinion, it is not a shame to surrender to the Ming army, after all, it is not the first time that the ancestor has succumbed.

But it is not possible to succumb to the Houjin, because the Houjin is the Dajin Khanate established under the banner of inheriting the Dajin.

The Jin Dynasty's policy of reducing the Mongols is still vivid, and submitting to the Jurchens is undoubtedly a betrayal of the ancestors.

Therefore, under the coaxing of Ang Abel and several beylers, most of the people began to tend to submit to the Ming court.

In this way, Fried Flower focused on Jae Sai.

After Zai Sai felt the gaze of the fried flowers, he said unwillingly:

"If I want to change the pasture, the Ming court must compensate me with some grain, iron tools, and armor, and in return, I can give up the pasture, and even participate in the war against Xiang Jianzhong in the future."

Zaisai refers to Jianju as Jianzhong, which shows his reluctance and revenge for being defeated and imprisoned by Nurhachi.

As for his request, he didn't think it was excessive, as for the latter, it was his personal act and had nothing to do with Inner Khalkha.

Therefore, the fried flower said to Zhong Nen Baylor:

"You also heard Zai Sai's request, and we agreed that the grassland could be replaced, including the construction of the city outside the Ming Army, but Zai Sai must be compensated."

"You tell the general of the Ming army these conditions, and if he agrees, then you can change the pasture."

"Yes......" Hearing the words of fried flowers, Zhong Nen bowed his head, and then walked out of the big tent and continued to run south.

Half an hour later, when he rushed to Tucheng and told Man Gui about the matter and conditions, Man Gui hesitated.

It was not something he could call the shots about giving Zai Saijia stomach, so he asked Zhong Nen to stay in Tucheng for two days, and at the same time sent someone to expedite 800 li to send the news back to the Yanshan camp......
