The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 296 Zu Kuan Wants a Horse
Zu Kuan ordered his subordinates to rest on the spot, and was not in a hurry to chase the rebels.

He had already seen the rebels get beaten up by Ding Yi here, so he probably wouldn't have much trouble chasing them.

Of course, if he knew Kong Youde escaped this way, he would definitely catch up.

He took his two relatives, Bingjia Ding, and followed Wang Weizhong back, asking questions as he walked.

"How many rebels have you intercepted here? Who is leading the team?"

Wang Weizhong said calmly: "The rebels are in a mess, like headless chickens, and they don't have a flag up, and I don't know whose soldiers and horses it is."

"They should have been frightened by the soldiers and horses of the ancestor general. When they saw us blocking the road, they threw away their armor and ran to both sides. We specially beat the horsemen and intercepted a lot of horses."

Zu Kuan was very pleased when he heard this, he knew we were the ones who defeated him, but with so many war horses, how could we favor you?
Everyone passed through the army formation, and soon saw the Lushun army gathering horses and descending troops behind them.

Probably got the news, a young military officer also hurried over.

When the old Yuan Zukuan saw Ding Yi, he couldn't help being stunned, so young?

"Ah, it turns out to be Liaodong iron cavalry, General Zu's soldiers and horses." Ding Yi stepped forward quickly, and said kindly: "Little brother Ding Yi, Brother Zu, I have admired your name for a long time, and have admired your name for a long time."

Walking over is a big hug.

Zu Kuan was also taken aback by Ding Yi's enthusiasm. He is not well-known at this moment, so why have he been famous for a long time?

But he was still very happy when others said that about him.

"Brother Ding is really young." Zu Kuan was not polite. People called him Big Brother Zu, and he couldn't help but show face. Immediately, Brother Ding yelled, and all the brothers called. It should be no problem to give some horses later.

"Young people are inexperienced, no, most of the rebels escaped, and they are preparing to rectify their troops and horses to chase them. Brother Zu's cavalry is just here. You chase them faster than us." Ding Yi said with a smile.

Zu Kuan shook his head: "Don't be in a hurry, most of the rebels have collapsed, and they will definitely retreat to Dengzhou. At that time, we will go to fight Dengzhou together."

I thought to myself, how can I ask for a horse.

But Ding Yi pointed to Wang Weizhong and said: "Wei Zhong, just now the brothers have checked and collected two thousand good horses."

"You follow General Xu's order and send someone to the camp of the Chinese Army."

"We are all infantry. It's useless to have so many horses. By the way, Brother Zu is here. You can give Brother Zu an average of twenty horses."

"..." Zu Kuan.

"Brother Zu." Ding Yi held his hand and said earnestly, "Don't tell me about the horse I gave you, otherwise the chief soldier will know and he will scold me."

"..." Zu Kuan.

The two soldiers behind Zu Kuan looked at each other, and vaguely remembered that there were so many horses on the scene just now, there should be more than two thousand horses, right?
The corners of Zu Kuan's mouth twitched, and he forced a smile and said, "Brother Ding has a heart, are you—Mr. Xu also here?"

"General Xu led his soldiers and horses to lie in ambush on the other road." Ding Yi said in a deep voice, "When we fight, we follow the command of the general soldier, and we will fight as we are told."

The implication is that the commander-in-chief needs horses, brother Zu, don't embarrass me.

Zu Kuan irritably disturbed his head, but couldn't hold back: "But I saw that you had more than [-] horses just now——"

"There are still a large number of wounded horses. By the way, give Brother Zu another thirty wounded horses. Let's kill and eat horse meat together."

"..." Zu Kuan.

Zu Kuan has nothing to offer now, if he refuses to give it to him, he can't take it away.

But Ding Yi had Xu Fuzuo, the commander-in-chief, on top of Ding Yi's head, so he didn't say anything, he just had a faint feeling that something was wrong there.

However, Ding Yi was very enthusiastic towards him without hitting the smiling face. He took every brother Zu and gave away dozens of horses. Zu Kuanjue's Ding Yi was quite good.

He was not in the mood to talk nonsense with Ding Yi, and after chatting casually, he led his troops to leave.

Before leaving, Ding Yi asked someone to deliver a heavy package, which contained 200 taels of silver.

For Zu Kuan, although the number is not much, but they are both generals, this ceremony is enough.

He had a good first impression of Ding Yi, and when he left, he patted Ding Yi on the shoulder and smiled, "Brother Ding, your soldiers are good, and your people are also good, hahaha, thank you, let's meet again some other day."

"Brother Zu, go slowly." Ding Yi said with a smile.

Wave goodbye to Zu Kuan.

As soon as Zu Kuan's troops left, Ding Yi immediately led the troops back to Chengguo Town, and all kinds of reports from below gathered in front of him.

In this battle, more than 300 rebels were killed, more than 100 people were captured alive, 100 good horses were obtained, and more than [-] wounded horses were obtained.

The Lushun army suffered more than [-] casualties, and only five died in battle.

There were few deaths and injuries because the rebels rushed for a while, and all were running behind, so naturally there were no casualties.

Then Ding Yi ordered to collect armor and silver.

At this time in August, the weather was very hot, and there were not many rebels wearing cotton armor and iron armor, and they were basically officers.

Ding Yicai collected more than 100 pairs of cotton armor and more than a dozen pairs of iron armor.

In addition, more than 8000 taels of silver and some jewelry and property were collected from the dead and captured prisoners, as well as various horsebacks.

Ding Yi was also generous, he sent one tael to each sergeant on the expedition, slightly more officers, and slightly more frontline gun and shield soldiers.

The brothers in Lushun camp are naturally happy.

Ding Yi gave a little more to the officers, one was to encourage everyone to learn characters and get promoted, and the other was that most of the officers in Lushun Battalion were promoted from the front row, encouraging recruits to fight for the front row.

In the evening, governor Zhu Dadian and guardian Gao Qiqian sent people to announce that all ministries will gather in Laizhou tomorrow.

The next day, Ding Yi sent three thousand troops to Laizhou.

He left a thousand soldiers and horses, occupied Chengguo Town, guarded more than 3000 horses, and the victories of the victory, armor and weapons, and protected more than 2000 captives.

On the [-]th, various armies of the Ming army arrived in Laizhou, the siege of Laizhou was broken, and the rebels had completely retreated.

Xu Fuzuo came to Ding Yi first, very happy.

He also fought well in this battle. He lay in ambush in Jinling Town, waited for the defeated rebels to pass by, and suddenly broke out. The rebels were defeated again, almost the same as Ding Yi's side. They didn't have much resistance and just wanted to run.

He was not as polite as Ding Yi, who beheaded more than 1000 people without leaving a single prisoner.

Ding Yi frowned secretly when he heard this, Xu can't do this, he offended the Liaodong soldiers, the rebels are also mostly from Liaodong, and his own men are also from Liaodong.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhu Dadian, the governor of Shandong, called all guerrilla fighters into Laizhou City to discuss the next step of the war.

Ding Yi placed his camp on the westernmost side of Laizhou City together with Xu Fuzuo's camp, and then rode with Xu on horseback, each leading a team of soldiers.

I don't know if he was guilty, but when he entered Laizhou City, Ding Yi thought of the scene where Mao Wenlong went to Shuangdao, and thought, I haven't done anything out of the ordinary in recent years, so I shouldn't be so unlucky.

So, don't do bad things, and don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Xu Fuzuo watched Ding Yi bring fifty soldiers into the city, and couldn't help but disturb his head. Xu Fuzuo also wanted to go back and bring more troops. Into the city.
