Chapter 490 The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind
Although the Houjin army was defeated, it was not defeated.
Kong Youde and Jin Guochen launched a full pursuit, just because they were worried that the Jin army would slow down and counterattack.
In contrast, the Mongols were completely defeated.
"Taiji!" Suddenly, I heard someone shouting from the south.
Hearing the call, the retreating Yingordai followed the prestige.
As far as the eye could see, I saw several Mongolian cavalry rushing towards this side, one of them carrying an acquaintance on his horseback.
Burgadu!
Although the enemy was still pursuing, Yingordai led his army to meet the Mongols, considering that Bulgardu was the younger brother of the Great Khan of Karaqin, Ahai.
"Burgadu Taiji!"
After welcoming the Mongol soldiers, Yingordai retreated northward, while shouting to the unconscious Burgadu.
At this time, Bulgadu's eyes were closed, his face was bloodless, his breathing was extremely weak, and the armor on his body was completely red with blood, and there were obvious scratches on his chest.
"What the hell is going on?"
Seeing that Bulga could not wake up, Yingordai looked at his companion.
"General, when Taiji retreated, he was attacked by enemy cavalry, and Taiji was unfortunately stabbed in the chest."
An older companion hurriedly replied.
As he was talking, he heard someone shouting, "Run, the enemy is coming." ”
"It's really fucking unlucky, where did this fierce Ming army come from."
Seeing that if he continued to chase like this, the Houjin army would be exhausted by the chase, and Ying Erdai was furious.
In desperation, he had to order Na Yingtai to lead the army to the queen.
Murtai, who was behind the front hall, had been killed.
With this group of soldiers, the Houjin army finally got rid of the pursuit.
Kong Youde and Jin Guochen wiped out hundreds of Jin troops such as Na Yingtai, chose not to pursue, and after sorting out the battlefield, they immediately moved to the flat land south of the mountain range and joined Liu Zhilun's army.
Several hours of continuous marching, coupled with half an hour of fighting, had exhausted the soldiers.
I had to set up a temporary barracks and rest for the night.
Piles of bonfires were lit, and the soldiers gathered around the fire, eating dry food to satisfy their hunger, talking about the battle that had just ended, and occasionally bursts of laughter.
A few of the soldiers were so tired that they fell asleep on their companions.
Liu Zhilunjun, who had no dry food, also tasted the taste of mutton soup for the first time with the generosity of Jinzhou Jun.
The wounded were also well accommodated.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Kong Youde and other generals and the generals of Liu Zhilun's army all sat on the ground, discussing the battle plan below.
"Although your army is a temporary patchwork, it has a tenacious spirit of fighting to the death and not retreating, as long as it is trained well, it will definitely be a strong force in time."
Kong Youde looked serious and said to Liu Zhilun.
In this vicious battle, Liu Zhilun's eight battalions and tens of thousands of soldiers were killed in nearly 3,000 at once, 1,000 seriously wounded, and more than 1,000 lightly wounded.
exchange ratio, almost zero.
In the eyes of the average person, this is a bunch of waste.
Kong Youde doesn't see it that way, going into battle is not the same as group fighting. In the face of the elite who were fully armored and experienced in a hundred battles, under such a huge sacrifice, there was still no rout.
With such a spirit, as long as the training is successful, it will definitely be a strong force in the future.
The Thirteen Mountains Rebels are the best example of this.
Relying on these people, the four major battalions and the Guanning Army were trained successively.
"What? Does Marquis Yang have the heart to take them in? ”
Liu Zhilun also felt incredible, and the number of enemies killed by his subordinates was zero.
"Marquis Yang is far away in Changli, and it is estimated that he is attacking Luanzhou at this time."
Kong Youde said: "But I believe that Hou Ye's thoughts are the same as mine. ”
"That's great."
Liu Zhilun once went to the imperial court, saying that these were good soldiers and seedlings, and asked the imperial court to let regular generals train, which will be useful in the future.
However, the emperor did not adopt.
Now that someone is willing to ask for it, it is still the famous Jinzhou Army, so they are naturally very happy.
"You, the right attendant of the military department, were given by the emperor when he was sick and rushed to the doctor, and he definitely didn't admit it afterwards."
Kong Youde started to win over his thoughts, "You might as well go back to Jinzhou Town with me." ”
"Me? General Kong, I am a gentleman of the imperial court, how can I go to a place to serve under the command of the general army of a town. ”
Despite the grace of life, Liu Zhilun still bluntly refused.
"If you don't go, these soldiers under your command will definitely think that we are deliberately excluding you."
Kong Youde was very thief, and won over in another way: "When the time comes, they may scatter in a hurry, which lives up to your kindness." ”
"This ......"
Liu Zhilun was dedicated to serving the country, so he paid out of his own pocket to recruit soldiers.
Whether things succeed or not, we must give these people who were born and died with them a good future.
"What about the Imperial Court?"
Jin Guochen on the side said with a smile: "Lord Yan Mingtai, he was still the governor of Jiliao before, and he was not under the command of Marquis Yang. ”
Hearing this name, Liu Zhilun's face darkened suddenly.
In Jinzhou Town, both the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party belong to non-existent things. But at the imperial court, it meant taking sides.
Wei Zhongxian's actions made Liu Zhilun deeply hateful. For Yan Mingtai, he naturally hates it.
Jin Guochen, who knew that he had said the wrong thing, hurriedly added: "Lord Huang Zhengbin on the record of the Donglin Point General is also in Yizhou, and he is still Lord Yan's deputy. ”
"Lord Huang, what are you doing here?" Liu Zhilun asked.
"There is chaos in the court, and there are entanglements of interests, which is not something that we people can understand."
Kong Youde said: "However, as long as you do your best and serve the country, you should be respected." ”
Liu Zhilun nodded approvingly.
The two sides have been fighting for so many years, so many people have died, the court is in chaos, and the Tartars have repeatedly violated the border, and now they are still deep into Gyeonggi.
If you think about it, you really shouldn't.
"Okay, if I'm lucky enough to survive, I'll take these peasant children to Liaoxi."
Liu Zhilun finally relented, and then asked, "What are you going to do next?" ”
"Of course, it's back to Santun Camp to hold on."
Kong Youde said with a smile: "The enemy heard that we have captured the Santun camp, and he will definitely gather heavy troops to besiege it." ”
"Don't take the opportunity to take Zunhua?"
Liu Zhilun thought it was incredible.
"The city of Zunhua is tall, and there are enemies who are stubbornly defending, and they can't attack it, so they will face the situation of being attacked from inside and outside."
Kong Youde said: "As long as we hold the Santun camp to the death and make the enemy like a thorn in the back, we will give the commander time to regain the lost territory." ”
After resting for the night, the army returned to Santun Camp early the next morning and began to strengthen the city defenses of Santun Camp in case of a possible heavy siege.
Messages have a speed of travel.
The news of Santun's recovery did not reach Huang Taiji, and he was still besieging Funing.
It didn't reach Daishan either, and he was still organizing the defense of the city.
Because, Luanzhou has been conquered.
Turg and others, who were bombarded by artillery, fled to Yongping Mansion in embarrassment.
There is only one thing that makes them happy.
Yang Chengying stayed in Luanzhou and did not immediately move north.
