After coming out of the house, Wang Wu ordered that all the more than 400 green battalion soldiers captured be executed to avenge the fallen soldiers.

The sky was already bright, and the fire in Mao'er Pass was still burning, and black smoke was rising into the sky, and it could be seen clearly from more than ten miles away.

Amid the captive's cursing and begging for mercy, a bloody scene was staged.

The Shaanxi Green Battalion soldiers who laid down their arms and surrendered could not have imagined that what awaited them would be a massacre.

Many people only have one thought before they die - knowing that this is the case, it is not as good as a thief fighting to the end.

It was Xu Lin and Gou Yu who carried out the killing.

Hundreds of unarmed battalion soldiers were easily killed, so they pressed down and shot them with arrows and guns, and then sent swordsmen to mend their swords.

The Ming army here is killing prisoners, but the Ma Bao Department is burying the pot and cooking over there.

On one side there is the smell of blood, and on the other side there is the smell of rice.

The screams from afar did not affect the appetite of Ma Bao's braided soldiers in the slightest, and many of them even stood on the wall with their rice bowls to watch the excitement.

Wang Wu, who was also on the wall, was expressionless, and Ma Bao would do it if he didn't do it.

The moment the gate was broken, it was decided that no one in the Shaanxi battalion inside could survive.

Dead people, so that secrets will not be leaked.

Zhang Changgeng, the governor of Huguang under the pseudonym Zhang Baosheng, looked numb at the sight, although he had repeatedly ordered the massacre of Ming prisoners and tortured those who opposed the Qing in Wuchang many times.

But the scene in front of him still made him feel as uncomfortable as a worm drilling into his veins.

"General, let's eat."

Zhang Pengyu, the flag officer, brought up a pot of cooked rice, and after the lid of the pot was lifted, there were still slices of steamed bacon on it.

The taste is fragrant.

Not only is there grain stored in Mao'er Pass, but also a large amount of bacon and salted fish transported from the rear.

Unfortunately, they can't be taken away, so they can only be burned with food.

Wang Wu was also hungry, so he sat down and ate with his relatives and soldiers.

Halfway through eating, I found that Zhang Changgeng hadn't eaten, and couldn't help but beckon: "Why didn't Baosheng eat it?" ”

“”

Zhang Changgeng was in the mood to eat, the smell of blood and the stench of corpses in his nose made him nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Wang Wu didn't care if the governor ate it or not, and he buried himself in his own head and devoured it.

There is still a tough battle to be fought next, how can you do it without filling your stomach.

The massacre lasted for a pillar of incense, and there was really not a single one left.

In this battle, more than 1,600 people under Zhang Yunyi, a staff general of the Shaanxi Green Battalion, were killed, and 420 Han troops under Li Sang, the co-leader of the Han army with a blue flag, were killed.

The "coalition forces" suffered more than 300 casualties.

The casualties of the enemy are one to six.

Although the Ma Bao Department suffered more than 100 casualties, it couldn't even talk about hurting its muscles and bones.

On the Ming side, excluding casualties and escorting the wounded back, there were less than 1,100 people left.

After eating, Wang Wu met with Ma Bao to discuss his next move, but learned that the general stationed at this pass was Zhang Yunyi, the son of Daniel Zhang, the governor of Gansu.

This time, Gao Dajie's face was very ugly, Zhang Yunyi was killed by him with one shot!

Why is it ugly?

Because Daniel Zhang and Governor Wang Fuchen of Pingliang were both important generals of the king of Pingxi, the king of Pingxi would send people to send gifts to the second general every New Year's Day.

When Hu Guozhu and Wu Guogui staged the "war games" of the uprising, they also regarded Daniel Zhang and Wang Fuchen as important forces that could be echoed in the northwest.

In other words, this Zhang Yunyi, who was killed by Gao Dajie himself, is even more important than Li Sang'e, who was killed by Wang Wu!

The Han army with blue flags is all noble, but there are not many soldiers in their hands, and they can't help Wu Sangui much in Yanjing.

The governor of Gansu is different, the real green battalion members, there are territory and soldiers, and they can really respond to Wu Sangui's words, Gansu is at your fingertips.

As a result, Daniel Zhang's eldest son was slaughtered by mistake, and Daniel Zhang knew where he was willing to be used by Wang Ye.

"This person was killed by my Ming army, what are you worried about?"

Wang Wu put the Zhang Yunyi waist card that Ma Bao threw on the table into his arms casually, and the implication was that you should not be stupid enough to say it yourself.

He knew very well that Wu Sangui's solicitation of generals in the northwest ended in failure.

Wang Fuchen also responded, and that Daniel Zhang ignored Wu Sangui at all, not only sent the envoy he sent to Kangxi, but also became one of the generals who destroyed the Wu army in the future.

That is, the so-called four Han generals of Hexi - Zhao Liangdong, Daniel Zhang, Wang Jinbao, Sun Sike.

"That's all there is to it."

Ma Bao is not a mother-in-law, the matter has already gone out and can only be pushed to the Ming army, otherwise what else can I do?

Discuss the next move with Wang Wu at the moment.

In this joint operation between the two sides, Wang Wu's purpose was to relieve the siege of Maolu Mountain so that the "peace talks" could proceed smoothly; Ma Bao's purpose was to take the opportunity to weaken the strength of the Qing army in Shaanxi and reduce resistance for future events.

Although the goals of the two sides are different, the needs are the same.

Therefore, according to the original plan, after seizing and burning Mao'er Pass, the "coalition forces" should immediately go straight to Zhimaping to the east, stab the Shaanxi Green Battalion in the ass a few more times while it has not yet reacted, and ruthlessly kill another batch of Shaanxi battalion soldiers, and then withdraw its troops.

"Without further ado, while the news has not passed"

Ma Bao meant that the whole army would leave for Zhimaping half an hour later, but Liang Guodong had another opinion.

It was Wang Yizheng, the governor of Shaanxi Province on the front line, once he learned that Maoerguan, a major grain storage area in the rear, had fallen, he would definitely be frightened and immediately retreat.

Because Wang Yizheng would be afraid that the back road would be cut off by the Ming army.

In this way, they don't have to go to Sesame Ping, just wait for the cat to work.

In terms of terrain, Mao'er Pass is the only place for Wang Yizheng to retreat and return to the division, and according to Liang Guodong's opinion, the "coalition army" should be divided into two groups.

One is guarding the Mao'er Pass, and the other is ambushing outside the pass.

When Wang Yizheng supervised the troops to storm Mao'er Pass, the ambush soldiers would be able to kill again, and Wang Yizheng would be caught off guard.

"That's a good idea,"

Ma Bao nodded, Mao'erguan has perfect defense facilities, and the terrain is condescending, and it is a necessary place to go back directly to the Shaanxi Green Camp.

"No!"

Gao Dajie opposed such a use of troops, firstly, because the strength of the coalition army was only more than 4,000 people, and the strength of the Shaanxi Green Battalion besieging Maolu Mountain would not be less than 40,000.

In addition, he was worried that the Zhushan Eight Banners in the west might intervene.

"Xi'an General Fu Kachan is not a waste of Mulima, this person has been fighting for thirty or forty years, and he is extremely experienced in using soldiers, how can he sit back and watch the Shaanxi Green Camp not be rescued?"

If Gao Dajie meant that if he fought at Mao'er Pass, it was very likely that he would be attacked by the Green Battalion in the east and the Eight Banners in the west, so they would not be able to hold it at all with their troops.

This is indeed a problem.

Whether to go east to Sesame Ping or to wait for work, everyone is thinking about the question of gains and losses.

Seeing this, Zhang Changgeng, who had been "watching the excitement" in the role of a clerk on the side, kindly reminded: "Xi'an garrisons of the Eight Banners are at most four or five thousand people, and it is impossible to dispatch them all. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted and wanted to slap himself twice.

Because Wang Wu's kid heard what he said, he actually said to Ma Bao: "Why don't we lift the bamboo mountain?" ”
