The two looked at each other across the river, Huang Taiji's face was gloomy, although he couldn't see Man Gui's expression, but he could guess that the other party's face must be provocative at this moment, and even, disdainful!

Since the incident with Nurhachi, the Eight Banners Army has crisscrossed the pass, which is terrifying, but since he succeeded to the throne, he has suffered setbacks one after another. The weapons and equipment of the Ming Dynasty and the style of combat changed greatly. What the hell is going on? Is it because of a change of emperor?

Huang Taiji didn't come up with an answer, his eyeballs were about to burst out!

The Ming army is cutting off the head! On the shore of them!

Mangui's order. The heads of thousands of soldiers were all cut off, their torsos piled up by the river, doused with fire oil, and threw a torch!

Boom, the flames soared up more than two feet high! With the smell of burnt hair and meat, it drifted to the other side with the wind.

After doing all this, Man Gui led his cavalry down the river and left the battlefield.

Watching his companion being killed, he couldn't do anything about it. The Eight Banners on the north shore almost gritted their teeth.

Massacre, when did it become a specialty of the Akito?

Watching Man Gui walk away, Huang Taiji stayed quietly in place, and said softly in a hoarse voice for a long time.

"Withdraw troops."

Jiannu left, and did not attack Jinzhou again.

Nearly 10,000 casualties have reduced their morale to the extreme.

Man Gui led his cavalry down the river, constantly chasing and killing those who escaped from the river.

In the upper reaches of the Xiaoling River, Zhu Kezhen and hundreds of soldiers were listening to the news from the downstream of the scout's report. After the year of the award, his position was a staff general under Zu Dashou of Jinzhou. Wang Laipin was a general under Ning Yuan Mangui. A good person should go where he is most needed.

"General, the Tartars crossed the river halfway and encountered a torrent, and thousands of people were washed away at once, and General Man took advantage of the Tartar chaos on the south bank of the river to lead 3,000 cavalry to directly kill the thousands of Tartar infantry who did not have time to cross the river. Now the tartars have retreated. ”

"Good!" Zhu Kezhen nodded when she heard this, and led the soldiers back to Jinzhou City quietly.

The plan for flooding was thought up by Zhu Kezhen, and Zu Dashou felt that it was feasible after hearing it.

If you succeed, you can at least destroy some Jiannu, and if you fail, you won't lose anything.

He sent someone to inform Man Gui.

After discussing with his subordinates, Man Gui also sent people to quietly fall behind the Jiannu army, and when he saw that the Jiannu army was washed by the torrent, he turned on his back, and only the infantry was left on the south bank. He realized that the opportunity had come, and immediately led the cavalry to attack decisively, and sure enough, he made a contribution.

The people on both sides returned to the city happily, and the first thing they did was to report the good news to the court.

And, of course, there are invitations.

When Zhu Youzhen received the good news, he was reviewing the 50,000 soldiers recruited by Xu Zhi'an from Shaanxi.

These people wear a common feature, shabby.

Zhu Youjian swept around and found that there were very few without patches, and some people even didn't have shoes.

It may be that I have eaten well in the past few months, and my mental state is very good. At this moment, he was excitedly looking at Zhu Youzhen on the stage, as if waiting for him to say something.

Zhu Youzhen had also inspected the Yongwei Battalion before, but the difference between more than 10,000 people and 50,000 people was really not small. As the saying goes, once there are more than 10,000 people, there is no boundary. That's what it feels like right now.

"Li Qing, these 50,000 soldiers will be handed over to you to distribute to the three major battalions, and I will order the Ministry of Engineering to make the armor and various weapons needed by the soldiers as soon as possible and send them to the soldiers. These recruits, you can order people to train well. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The minister will do his best. ”

"If there's anything you need to report to me, report it directly."

"Yes! Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Youzhen instructed Li Banghua two more sentences and was about to leave.

In the distance, a fast horse galloped quickly, and immediately a knight raised his left hand, which should be holding a Tang newspaper in his hand.

"Good news! Jinzhou victory! ”

Before he could get closer, he was stopped, and the knight presented the Tang report, which was presented to Zhu Youzhen by the close attendant.

Didn't you say that the walls are clear and the wilderness is guarded by the city? Where did the big victory come from?

Zhu Youzhen immediately opened the Tang newspaper and read it. I was overjoyed after reading it.

"Li Qing, take a look! Hahaha~"Joy needs to be shared.

Li Banghua took the Tang newspaper curiously, and after reading it, his face turned red, and he annihilated tens of thousands of enemies! Li Banghua knelt down excitedly.

"Minister, congratulations to Your Majesty!"

"Minister, congratulations to Your Majesty."

A group of people didn't know what was going on, so they all knelt up, didn't they see that Master Li was kneeling. No problem. The officials knelt down, and the 50,000 soldiers followed suit, and shouted. For a while, the voice of congratulations resounded in the sky.

Zhu Youzhen didn't expect Zu Dashou and Man Gui to bring him such a big surprise. His original idea was to let them guard the city and move everyone to the city. In this way, the casualties were minimal, and Jiannu City could not be captured, and it was natural to retreat if it could not grab something. He knew that Jiannu was in a difficult situation at this time, and he didn't need to fight, and he would consume them to death. I didn't expect the two to surprise themselves in this way. I'm afraid it really hurt Jiannu now.

If Huang Taiji knew his thoughts, he would definitely say: It's not that it hurts, it's that it's disabled.

At this time, he had already led 20,000 soldiers out of the Ningjin defense line and was marching in the direction of the Yalu River to the east.

The target is naturally North Korea, and North Korea cannot afford not to fight this time. This time, the casualties of the Eight Banners are so serious, if you don't get something to go back, how can you explain to your wife and children? So now you have to find a soft persimmon and pinch it. The Ming army is no longer good, they don't go out of the city at all, and they can't use their own strength. The Mongol tribes have not had a good time lately, so they can only survive by fighting North Korea.

As for the reasons, what are the reasons?

It's okay to have a big fist.

On the second day, Zhu Youzhen received another report from Zu Dashou.

Zu Dashou described in detail the course of the battle and the important role played by artillery in the Tang newspaper. In the Tang newspaper, a person was emphatically mentioned, Zhu Kezhen, a general who had just been appointed by the imperial court after the year. I don't know who wrote Zu Dashou's Tang Newspaper, which is called a flower group splendor, and the image of a brave and resourceful young general jumps on the paper.

Zhu Youzhen put down the Tang newspaper and sighed with some emotion.

Sure enough, awesome people have their own halos, and they can shine wherever they go. It's like a firefly in the dark, so vivid, so outstanding.

Reward!

A must-win!

As a martial champion hand-picked by the imperial court, Zhu Kezhen has never been proud. When he first arrived in Jinzhou, he was a little unaccustomed. There are two reasons, first, the water and soil are not adapted. Second, the officers and men of the Guanning Legion were somewhat xenophobic.

But he didn't get angry, he still didn't say much, what should he do.

He took the lead in the dirtiest and most tiring work.

The most dangerous task, he rushed to lead.

Slowly, everyone secretly admired this Guangdong general appointed by the imperial court.

This time he led the troops out of the city, and Zhu Kezhen took the initiative to ask for help, and as a result, he became famous in the first battle. After returning to the city, I was warmly welcomed by everyone.

"General Zhu, you have made a great contribution now. I don't know what reward Your Majesty will give you. ”

"Yes, at least a few thousand taels of silver are still available."

In the room, there was a lot of discussion. Zu Dashou sat on the top and smiled without saying a word. He also admires Zhu Kezhen. At first, I thought it was gilded by the imperial court, but I didn't expect it to be a brave and resourceful talent.

"Zhanyu, you should be the first merit in this battle, no matter whether the court rewards it or not, this will definitely not be a disadvantage."

How could Zhu Kezhen not know Zu Dashou's move to win people's hearts, got up and gave a salute, and spoke.

The general was serious. It is my blessing to serve His Majesty, and it is my luck to be able to work under the general's account. Without His Majesty's appreciation and the leadership of the general, there can be no meritorious service. How dare you think of any reward? ”

Fuck, you kid is so good at talking, why don't you say more, look at this sycophant. Zu Dashou thought secretly.
