Chapter 114 The Great Victory
The night was dark and the north wind was bleak.

The strong wind rolled up the loess on the ground and raged in the air.

The sand and stones slapped the tent, making a crackling sound.

Sitting on the dragon chair in the big tent, Huang Taiji looked at a messenger standing in front of him, his face changed drastically.

"What did you say? Brother Hao, he failed? Out of the [-] soldiers who went out, only [-] came back?! What the hell is going on!"

His voice was full of anxiety, and he couldn't believe what the messenger in front of him said.

The Zhenglan Banner is one of the upper three banners, second only to the two yellow banners in strength.

This time, all the elites from the Zhenglan Banner came out, as well as the 3000 taels of Yellow Banner elites that had been dispatched.

But now they are defeated, and the opponent only has 4000 people?
How could Huang Taiji accept this result?
Every time I entered the Kou capital, almost all of them came back with a full reward.

The Ming army had never had the power to resist, so why did this result happen today, losing four thousand elite at once.

This is a serious Eight Banners soldier. After so many years, he managed to save so much money, each of which is very important.

"Where is Hauge, where is the bastard Hauge? And Gong Adai and Wu Bai, where are the two of them?
A bunch of trash, trash! "

Huang Taiji slapped the table in front of him fiercely, cursing loudly non-stop.

The other people in the big tent also looked surprised, looking at the messenger standing in front of Huang Taiji.

These people also didn't believe what the messenger said. Everyone in the world knew exactly what the Ming army was like.

Now it is said that the [-] elites of the Zhenglan Banner and the [-] elites of the Two Yellow Banners were defeated by the [-] Ming Army, which is nonsense no matter how you look at it.

It's like a strong man who is five years old and three years old hits a two or three-year-old child, but the two-year-old child hits the ground and beats him. Is there such a thing in the world?
The orderly fell to his knees, trembling.

He said with a look of panic: "Master, I really lost, I really lost, my lord, he was injured, and now he is still in a coma!"

"This incompetent waste has lost so many soldiers and horses, what use is there for him?!

What about Gong Adai and Wu Bai?What about the two of them?Where are the two of them? ! "Huang Taiji shouted and asked.

The messenger's head shook like a drum, "I don't know, they didn't come back with the prince!"

"Damn!"

Huang Taiji slapped the table in front of him.

His right hand was already flushed, but he still didn't feel any pain.

He knew very well the characters of Gong Adai and Wu Bai, no matter whether the battle was won or not, both of them would retreat.

But now that the two of them haven't come back, there is only one ending.

But he didn't want to think about it.

Including these two, there were already nine generals and civil officials who died at the hands of Sun Jie.

After fighting against the Ming Dynasty for so many years, the number of generals who died in the hands of the Ming army is not as many as the generals who died in the hands of Sun Jie.

Now his son is also seriously injured, how can this be tolerated? !
Thinking of this, Huang Taiji's eyes turned red.

He gritted his teeth and looked to the south, roaring and cursing: "This damned Sun Jie, sooner or later, I'm going to pull your skin and tendons!"

"Come on, prepare your horse, and go see what's going on!"

Huang Taiji looked to the left and right.

The left and right guards hurried out.

Looking at the rest of the generals in the big tent, he said in a deep voice: "The news of the defeat is strictly sealed, and it is forbidden to spread it! If anyone leaks out, they will be killed without mercy!"

A moment later, Huang Taiji galloped through the night with his personal guards.

After Hauge's troops were defeated, they didn't even dare to stay where they were, and retreated thirty li.

The defeated soldiers who fled back spread the news of what happened on the battlefield to the entire barracks.

For a while, rumors were rampant.

The morale of the army collapsed instantly.

If Hauge hadn't had an accident, the situation would have been better.

But now that he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, and was in a coma, the soldiers in the army couldn't help thinking about it.

The generals in the army have a pillar effect on the morale of the soldiers. If they will be there, their morale will be there, and if they will be dead, their morale will be dead.

If Hauge was killed on the spot, it is estimated that Zhenglan Qi's consequences would only be worse.

In the middle of the night, horseshoes sounded outside Zhenglanqi's camp.

Several fire dragons appeared in the distance, coming towards this side.

All the scouts cruising around the camp became nervous.

They were afraid of a repeat of today's battle, and they were afraid that Sun Jie's troops would catch up.

"who!"

One of Zhenglan Qi's probing horses looked forward, trembling non-stop.

The scouts gathered around him were almost like this.

These probing horses did not participate in today's battle. Those scouting horses who participated in the war are now panicking, and they are hiding in the camp and dare not come out.

News of the defeat spread throughout the camp, and the horror was known to all.

Although these scouts didn't see it with their own eyes, they also heard a lot of rumors, and they were equally terrified at this moment.

"Your Majesty is driving!"

The guards around Huang Taiji yelled loudly, and it spread far away in the dark night.

Listening to the familiar Manchu language in their ears, these Tan Ma finally felt relieved.

Although there were people in the Ming army who knew Manchu, this situation would not happen.

These scouts rushed towards Huang Taiji, running wildly in the dark night.

Soon came to the front of Huang Taiji's team.

They were brought in front of Huang Taiji by those personal guards of Huang Taiji.

Looking at the probing horses in front of him, Huang Taiji asked loudly, "How is Hauge?"

After all, he is his son, so how could he not be worried?
"Return to the master, the prince is still in a coma, the military doctor said he suffered internal injuries!" A detective said quickly.

Huang Taiji's face became a little colder, and the whip in his hand hit the horse under his crotch.

After a while, he walked into Zhenglan Banner's barracks.

Led by the soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner, they came to the main tent of the Chinese Army.

The people who served Hauge in the big tent looked at Huang Taiji who came in, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Hauge lay quietly on the bed, his eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale and bloodless.

The anger in his chest almost disappeared after seeing his son's appearance.

There was a military doctor kneeling beside the bed, Huang Taiji's gaze passed Hauge, looked at the military doctor, and asked:

"What's the situation? If you can't cure him, you can be buried with him!"

The military doctor kowtowed repeatedly, his face full of panic.

"Return to Your Majesty, the prince has suffered internal injuries, his Qi and blood flowed backwards, and his veins have been cut off..." the military doctor replied cautiously.

"I'm asking you if he's okay. Do you want to kill yourself by talking nonsense?"

Huang Taiji cursed impatiently, and kicked the military doctor on the shoulder, kicking him on his back.

The military doctor hastily straightened his body, knelt at Huang Taiji's feet, the panic on his face became more and more serious, and he replied repeatedly:

"Your Majesty, if you think about it, you should be fine, you can live with a good rest!"

"I want to come, I want to come, I want to do a fart!"

Huang Taiji raised his foot again, kicking the military doctor down again.

"Cough cough!"

Hauge on the bed suddenly coughed.

Huang Taiji's gaze was instantly attracted by the coughing sound.

Looking at Hauge lying on the bed, he had a lot of worry on his face.

In his worried gaze, Hauge opened his eyes.

"Ama!"

Hauge called softly.

Huang Taiji nodded, and then sat on the side of the bed.

"How's your health? Are you okay?" Huang Taiji's voice also softened.

Hauge shook his head and said, "It's nothing serious, it's just a minor injury!"

Seeing that Hauge's spirit was still stable, Huang Taiji said some comforting words.

The topic came to today's war.

"What's going on in today's battle? Why can't 6000 people take down [-] Ming troops?"

Huang Taiji finally asked out the doubts in his heart.

"Ama, it's too miserable, too miserable!"

Hauge actually cried.

"Don't cry, I'm an athlete of the Eight Banners, why should I act like a dog!"

Huang Taiji scolded.

Hauge's crying subsided, and he said: "They have cannons, like thunder, there will be no survivors within ten feet of the explosion.

Our people couldn't touch them at all, and were killed by these artillery shells from a long distance away.These cannons are more powerful than those on Shengjing City! "

Jiannu also had a large number of artillery. It is gratifying that when they surrendered Jiannu, they brought with them the last powerful firearms unit of the Ming army.

In addition, there are a lot of artillery on Shengjing City, so they know a lot about artillery.

"Cannon? Where did Minggou get the cannon? Judging from your tone, Minggou seems to have quite a few cannons!"

Huang Taiji's expression turned even worse.

It is too outrageous to say that there will be no survivors within one foot of the explosion.

Even the heavy artillery that can't be moved at the top of Shengjing city can't reach this level.

"Ama, it's true, it's true..."

Hauge looked terrified, and he talked about today's battle in detail, taking advantage of his energy now.

After Hauge finished speaking, Huang Taiji fell silent completely.

No matter how you say these words, they are outrageous.

In his traditional concept, cannons, especially powerful artillery, are basically installed on the top of the city.

If you want the power of the artillery to be strong, then the barrel of the artillery must be thick.

According to the cannon casting technology of this era, the weight will inevitably increase in this way.

According to what Hauge said, if you want to reach that level, at least it is a heavy artillery that weighs more than a thousand catties.

How can such a heavy artillery move?
Huang Taiji was puzzled, and kept walking back and forth among the tents.

The limitations of the times framed his vision.

I don't understand how there is such a cannon.

If it wasn't for Hauge, Huang Taiji would never have believed it anyway.

He also asked about Wu Bai and Gong Adai, but Hauge didn't know anything.

At this point, Huang Taiji had to accept this cruel reality.

Looking to the south, he clenched his fists tightly, and the murderous look in his eyes almost became real.

"Sun Dog, you damn thing!"

Blasphemy, no image at all.

……

Fragrances wafted over Sun Jie's camp. Today he won the battle, so naturally he should celebrate and replenish his energy by the way.

The battlefield has also been cleaned up, and more than [-] Jiannu were killed.

There is only an approximate number, because many corpses were blown to pieces and could not even be pieced together.

Among the 2000 people, only [-] relatively complete corpses were found.

According to the Ming army, 2000 people were beheaded.

What is this concept?
This is a big victory that has never been seen since Saarhu.

It is a big victory that has never been achieved since the old slave started his army.

Sun Jie ordered the heads of these two thousand corpses to be chopped off and placed neatly outside the camp.

All the corpses were piled up and burned. In the environment of the end of the Ming Dynasty, epidemic diseases occurred from time to time. These people are a disaster when they are alive, but they cannot be allowed to continue the disaster when they are dead.

It's already winter, and although the corpse won't rot too quickly, it must always be prepared for the coming year.

Sun Jie sat in the large tent of the Chinese army, looking at the map on the table.

Hold a desk lamp and study inch by inch.

Standing by the side, Chen Hu asked in a low voice, "My lord, what should we do with those slave heads?!"

Sun Jie put away the desk lamp in his hand and looked at Chen Hu, "What do you think should be done?!"

"Generally speaking, the heads of these slaves who were beheaded will be presented to the Ministry of War in exchange for credit or rewards.

But now that the imperial court is so poor, even if these heads are handed over, it's useless! " Chen Hu hesitated.

Sun Jie didn't think so, he smiled and said: "The imperial court can't afford it, but someone can!
Our family is not the only army in the world, Shanxi, Datong, and Xuanfu, the soldiers and horses of these three towns have not yet come.

Even if they come, expecting them to win the battle is simply wishful thinking.

If you don't make an inch of merit, and you still don't move forward, it will arouse the emperor's dissatisfaction! "

"Your Excellency, you mean to sell the heads of these Jian slaves to them?!" Chen Hu's eyes lit up.

"That's right, more than 2000 heads, so what if you sell them a thousand?

Not to mention, we still have the head of Gong Adai and Wu Bai in our hands.

I originally wanted you to cut him down, but after thinking about it, I felt it was wrong.Such a good business, how can you not do it! "

Sun Jie looked to the north, and continued: "Sometimes, it's much more convenient to be dressed as an official.

Use the remaining heads to exchange some benefits from the court.

As for the remaining captives, after this matter is over, they will be escorted back to Shaanxi and let them build roads and start mining! "

When Sun Jie's soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, they found Gong Adai's body.

This guy is wearing a shining armor, it's hard not to recognize him.

I didn't know his identity at the time, so I asked the captives to identify him, but I didn't expect it to be Gong Adai.

"My lord, do you want to dig out those people who were killed in Shaanxi before? Use them together for business!"

Chen Hu's face was hot.

"That's unnecessary, it's a waste of time. Besides, Jianu is right in front of you, so are you afraid that no one will be killed?"

Sun Jie's tone was relaxed and he didn't care.

……

The night was getting deeper, and there was a rush of horseshoes in the capital.

Chongzhen had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by a hasty knock on the door.

Cao Huachun yelled outside the house: "Your Majesty, hurry up for [-] miles, hurry up for Ji Liao!"

Chongzhen was able to jump up on the bed suddenly, he didn't even bother to put on his shoes, so he ran outside.

He opened the door, looked at the panicked Cao Huachun, and hurriedly asked, "How about a quick eight hundred miles? Bring it quickly!"

Cao Huachun didn't dare to delay, and hastily took out the [-]-mile rush that had just been presented from his bosom.

After Chongzhen inspected the seal, he opened the urgent document.

Order people to light the candles in the bedroom and take a closer look by the light of the fire.

"It's over!"

As soon as he loosened his hand, the urgent document fell to the ground, and Chongzhen retreated in a panic, falling on the bed.
