I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 172 Dorgon, You Must Cheer Up

Chapter 171

Kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

This is basically the standard mode of frontal warfare. In fact, from the very beginning to before the collapse, Jiannu's casualties were not considered to be pulsating bones, but Ning's navy also suffered more than [-] casualties.

The Dongjiang Army was the worst, with more than 4000 troops. Now there are only 4000 left, with more than 2 casualties. The Guan Ning Army has lost nearly half.More than [-] Ming troops participated in the battle, and now the casualties are close to [-] horses.

Among them, more than [-] people were killed in battle. In the future, there will still be many seriously injured people who will not be able to survive.

The brutality of this battle far exceeds the battle of Daling River last year, and the scale is even more double.

Of course, the initial statistics of the beheadings of the Ming army totaled more than [-] ranks, but there were many Mongolian and Han army heads mixed in, and the real slaves were only more than [-].

More than 1000 people were captured, including more than [-] from the Han army, more than [-] from Mongolia, and more than [-] from Mongolia. There were not many Jurchens, only more than [-].

What made Cheng Shijie feel the most pity was that in this battle, too many war horses were killed, but not many war horses were captured, only less than [-] horses, and most of them were wounded horses.

Cheng Shijie instructed Song Xiance: "The wounded soldiers must be handled properly. My principle is to treat as much as possible, and don't be afraid to spend money. Any wounded soldier, as long as he recovers and returns to the team, he will become a veteran, a veteran, Stronger than the three recruits, there will not be many such fierce battles in the future!"

This time, there are still many problems in Ning Haijun. First, there are too few shells and insufficient preparations. Second, the Thunderbolt is too heavy, and it is still a bit inconvenient to move. The power and rate of fire of individual firecrackers are too low. At that time, effective firepower coverage was not formed.

In the future, this kind of situation will definitely not happen again, so the chances of Ning Haijun's hand-to-hand combat again are running out.

"Yes, I understand!"

Song Xiance hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, what should we do with those captives?"

"This one……"

Cheng Shijie pondered, and from the bottom of his heart, he wanted to cut down all the Han soldiers and Jiannu captives, but the problem was that it would be cool, but the next time he fought with Jiannu, Jiannu knew that Cheng Shijie would kill the prisoners , They will definitely resist to the end, or run away directly.

But he was very upset about releasing the captives so directly.

Of course, Cheng Shijie didn’t need to consider Jiannu and Mongol captives. Da Ming didn’t treat captives as treasures, and they became captives of the Ming army. The captives were sent to the capital of the Ming Empire, and those who were lucky would be castrated Then he entered the palace as an eunuch, and was so unlucky that he didn't even have the chance to be an eunuch. He was beheaded directly, and then built into a Beijing temple with other people's heads.

Cheng Shijie thought about it, and said: "Jiannu and Mongolian captives, and the heads we captured, will be sent to the capital, and the captives of the Han army...wherever they are suffering, send them there."

"Aren't they too cheap?"

"That's not easy to kill prisoners!"

Cheng Shijie sighed and said: "Generally, there are three reasons for killing captives. Either they are trapped behind the enemy and surrounded by enemies, so they can only be killed. The second is logistical supplies. If there is not enough supplies to feed the captives, We can only kill the captives, the last point is to deter the enemy!"

Ning Haijun does not belong to the three situations of killing prisoners now, and there is no need to deter Jiannu by killing prisoners.

"The soldiers feel uncomfortable!"

"Doesn't the Liaodong Management Committee have a court?"

Cheng Shijie said: "Let the court judge them, and sentence them to a labor camp according to their actions."

"Yes!"

Song Xiance went on to say: "Both the Dongjiang Army and the Guanning Army suffered heavy losses, how about compensation for them?"

"The commander promised them that according to our Ning Haijun's principles, the compensation fields for the officers and men of the Guan Ning Army who died in battle will be placed in Haizhou, and the money will be sent directly to their families!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Go and talk to Zu Dabi and tell him that the handsome's money must be spent to the fullest. Their people, it's best not to reach out!"

In Ning Haijun's camp, Sun Zhichen looked at Sun Chengzong with a troubled face.

At this time, Sun Chengzong's face was flushed, drinking wine one after another.

"Grandfather, you drank too much!"

"The old man is not drunk!"

Sun Chengzong looked around, Ming army soldiers lit bonfires one after another. Although the weather was cold, the cold wind did not stop their enthusiasm.

At this time, the soldiers of the Ning Navy did not bother to eat horse meat. In terms of taste, mutton was more delicious. Jiannu retreated too hastily, and there were still tens of thousands of cattle and sheep left behind.

Sun Zhichen couldn't persuade Sun Chengzong, and was worried that Sun Chengzong's identity would be spoiled by drinking. After all, Sun Chengzong's age was placed there, and he had reached the age of seventy, and he was no longer young.

Sun Chengzong picked up his wine glass and walked in front of a group of Jiannu captives.

The captives were tired, hungry, and very worried.

Sun Chengzong looked at the prisoners and said, "Which of you can dance?"

When did these Jian slaves look at the Ming army?Even with Sun Chengzong's status, in the eyes of ordinary Jiannu, he is not just an old man.

"Slave will!"

A jiannu who was probably in his twenties timidly got up.

Sun Chengzong pointed to the mutton roasting on the bonfire not far away: "Dancing well, I will reward you!"

"The slave Acton dances for the master!"

Acton means strong, probably the name of Niu Jianshi, Liu Laoshi, etc. among the Han people.But Acton can indeed dance, and his limbs are very flexible.

Sun Chengzong looked at Acton dancing and was very satisfied. He waved his hand and said, "Yongyan, give him a piece of meat!"

Sun Zhichen felt that Sun Chengzong had lost his self-cultivation. He walked to the campfire and took a piece of mutton, but he didn't expect that the mutton would be so hot, and he threw it on the ground.

The snow and mud on the ground are mixed together, and it is definitely not clean anyway.

Acton didn't dislike it. A vicious dog jumped on the mutton, grabbed the mutton, and thanked Sun Chengzong: "Thank you, master, for the reward!"

……

The army of founding slaves who are fleeing desperately, they have abandoned all pride, all self-confidence, and only care about fleeing, forgetting to break the queen, forgetting that the Ming army chasing behind them is only a few thousand people, forgetting them I still have a bow, arrow and saber in my hand to resist, and I just want to escape, escape, escape, the farther the better.

It is certain that infantry will not catch up with cavalry.Those who participated in the pursuit were actually more than [-] cavalry hunters, more than [-] cavalry from the Ning Navy, plus [-] reconnaissance cavalry from the Ning Navy, and [-] Guan Ning Army cavalry. This is the entire cavalry unit of the Ming Army. A total of more than [-] riders.

This is the most cavalry Cheng Shijie can get.

Right now, among the various banners under the establishment of slaves, the Zhenglan Banner suffered the heaviest loss. Almost one of the banners was wiped out. The surviving 700 people could not even make up three cattle records.Followed by Jierhalang's inlaid blue flag, more than two-thirds were damaged, and less than 3000 people survived.Next is the Bordered Red Flag, which lost more than half of its 26 cattle records, and there are only twelve left. .

Before dispatching troops, Huang Taiji had 71 Niu Lus, of which 240 Niu Lus did not participate in the war. Among the 92 Niu Lus that participated, 7000 Niu Lus were wiped out, which means that more than two soldiers died on the battlefield. [-] people.

Dorgon had no choice but to go to the rear. He sent several troops to try to stop the pursuit of the Ming army, but in an instant these troops were smashed by the Ming army's cavalry. Fuzzy head.

Such a desperate situation made Dorgon and Duoduo despair, and they didn't dare to think about fighting back. They could only urge the troops to retreat quickly, and retreat to Liao Zhongwei to take a breath before making plans.

In Dorgon's view, although Dajin suffered heavy losses in this battle, the main force is still there. As long as they can hold their ground and find the Ming army's flaws, they have a chance to come back.

However, Dorgon didn't know that there were not many opportunities left for them and for Da Jin.

The Dajin army was still panicking and fled towards Liao Zhongwei. The flags, food and grass were thrown all over the ground, and the wounded soldiers were abandoned on the side of the road screaming in despair. Staying together with blank eyes watching the master disappear from sight, let out a pathetic hiss.

The scene of such a defeat made everyone who survived this bloody battle suffer from the shame of life and death for the rest of their lives, unable to lift their heads.

Since Nurhachi raised his troops, the iron hooves of the Houjin Eight Banners have traveled all over the white mountains and black waters, annihilating the Ming army countless times at a negligible cost of thousands, tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even 10,000+. North Korea and Mongolia, the two behemoths, were invincible and invincible, creating the myth that "the Jurchens are dissatisfied with ten thousand, and they cannot fight when they are full". How have they ever tried such a disastrous defeat!

This kind of shock that all self-confidence was shattered in one day, this kind of fright that the myth was shattered, was in itself worse than the loss of [-] to [-] elite soldiers, leaving their minds blank and at a loss!
Every time a piece of enemy was cut down, the Ming army cavalry jumped off their horse excitedly, cut off the head, hung it on the neck of the horse, and continued to chase and fight as if they had taken a stimulant.

This is also what Jiannu prefers to do. They often cut off the heads of Ming soldiers who died in battle and hang them on the necks of horses to show off. Now it's their turn.

Duoduo looked at the Ming army cavalry behind him with a gloomy face and said, "Damn it, there's no end to it, and it's still haunting me!"

In fact, Dodo was frightened.

Seeing the heads of so many Jiannu dangling bloody on the necks of the enemy's horses brought Doduo the same horror and fear.Doduo cursed secretly in his heart: "These Ming soldiers are really barbaric!"

As the Jiannu scattered and fled, the cavalry pursued by the Ming army became more and more dispersed. More than 200 people were divided into seven or eight groups, and the number of cavalry in each group was not too many. The reconnaissance cavalry of the Ning Navy, they only have more than [-] cavalry.

With just over 200 riders, the army of Jiannu can defeat them with only one Jiala, but not even a single Niulu turned around to face their enemy. They just wanted to escape, as far as possible. The cavalry under Niangzi bit them like leeches, captured abandoned wounded soldiers, and collected abandoned horses.

The cavalrymen of the Ming army were astonished to see that the Jiannu army ran away without looking back like a herd of wildebeest driven by lions. People couldn't believe that this was the tiger and wolf division that fought fiercely with them for two days and hours, and almost broke the Ming army's phalanx several times!

At this time, the reconnaissance cavalry of the Ning Navy was also very tired. They had been fighting and killing for the past two days, and now they had no strength.

"Tangtou, the commander-in-chief is right, Jiannu was really scared out of his wits!"

The red lady smiled faintly: "Let's not rush to chase, just set up camp on the spot, rest, sharpen the knife and cut firewood by mistake!"

As the cavalry of the Ming army began to set up camp, rest on the spot and recharge their batteries, Jiannu can finally take a breather now.But this is only temporary. Tomorrow morning, these Ming army cavalry will continue to pounce on the defeated army like a pack of wolves, bloodletting them continuously, causing them to collapse completely.

Inside the Ming army camp.

Sun Chengzong didn't mean to be drunk at all, he looked at Cheng Shijie who was eating hot pot and said, "Beiping, what are your plans now?"

"Intend?"

Cheng Shijie didn't understand what Sun Chengzong meant.

"Do you want to withdraw your troops and return to the capital for victory, or continue to pursue?"

"Of course it is to take advantage of the victory and pursue them, and take advantage of Jiannu's disease to kill them!"

Cheng Shijie took out the map and drew a circle around Haizhou with his finger, saying: "Haizhou is preserved, but the five guards of Liaozhong are still in the hands of Jiannu. Interest can still be achieved. Along this road to the northeast, the six castles of Changning, Dongsheng, Chang'an, Qinghe, Wuding, and Wuyong are still in their hands. I want to take advantage of this big victory. Take it all back."

Only by advancing the battle front to the territory of Anshan and Liaoyang in the future, can Cheng Shijie fully grasp Dalian Bay. This is a treasure land with a warm climate and a seaport that will never be frozen. Ships can navigate all year round. Whether it is to develop fishery here Or grow fruit, there is a lot to do.

Sun Chengzong nodded slowly: "Not bad!"

Sun Zhichen said: "Marshal, the speed of soldiers is precious!"

Cheng Shijie smiled lightly: "Yongyan, what are you in a hurry for?"

"I'm afraid they're riding too fast and we won't be able to catch up!"

"Ha ha!"

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "Jiannu loves his own force too much. Once the self-confidence accumulated by countless victories is crushed, they will be defeated and the morale of the army will be shaken. Even if they meet an opponent in the future, there will only be one escape Words!"

Only then did Sun Zhichen understand the reason why Cheng Shijie didn't take any tricks to fight head-on against the main forces of Jiannu. He wanted to smash Jiannu's pride and self-confidence in this kind of main force battle like an anvil meeting a hammer. Let Jiannu realize that they are not as powerful as they imagined, they are fighting with a giant, and they may be smashed into a pulp by the giant at any time!
Cheng Shijie said: "The next battle will be very easy. We will walk sixty or seventy miles a day, just walk slowly, and almost all Jiannu will run away."

"Run away!? Why did they run away?"

Sun Zhichen shook his head again and again: "Impossible, although Jiannu suffered a disastrous defeat, the main force is still there, and they are far from being frightened by our army and running away!"

Cheng Shijie sneered: "Don't run? It's okay not to run, just stay here in the fertile land!"

Tomorrow morning, Cheng Shijie will lead Ning Haijun's infantry to catch up and fight fiercely. Don't talk nonsense about the poor, don't chase after them, don't stop them when they return to the teacher, and don't tell them that they are tired. They finally won an unprecedented victory. He didn't care about anything, he just wanted to pounce on Jiannu's flesh and drink Jiannu's blood.

……

The sky was getting dark, and even though the exhausted Jiannu found that there were no pursuers behind him, he didn't dare to stop and continued on his way, gritting his teeth.The exhausted slave soldiers lamented and discussed endlessly, and some people even openly accused the generals of their extravagance. They are the slaves of their masters, and slaves are not qualified to accuse their masters.

Now, it's just a fiasco, and all the problems have surfaced. This is just a precursor, and the follow-up effects of this fiasco will continue to ferment, making Jiannu miserable.

Huang Taiji actually woke up a long time ago, but he has been pretending to be unconscious, Huang Taiji quietly looked around with the peripheral vision of his eyes
Depressed army.

In addition to being depressed, Huang Taiji was still depressed.

He sighed secretly in his heart: "The defeat was too miserable... I followed my father Khan in the north and south, and fought for half my life, but I have never tried to lose so badly!"

Haoge's face was livid, his eyes were blazing, he caught up with Yue Tuo, and said fiercely: "Where is Da Khan? I want to see Da Khan!"

Hauge's tone was a bit unfriendly. Although Jiannu was unfavorable at that time, Huang Taiji's retreat was the last straw that overwhelmed the Jiannu army, so Hauge wanted to ask Huang Taiji what he thought.

Yue Tuo smiled wryly: "King Khan was so worried that he vomited blood and fell into a coma. He hasn't woken up yet."

Hearing that Huang Taiji vomited blood and fell into a coma, Hauge had no choice but to say anything.

He can only sulk.

Yue Tuo said: "I heard that the Fourth Uncle and the Tenth Uncle both broke up. You are in front and can see clearly. What's going on?"

Haoge said angrily: "Minggou has no other skills, so he will bully people with firearms!" What kind of skill is fighting with firearms, if you have the ability to fight with me with real swords and guns, you despicable and shameless cowards! "

Yue Tuo was very speechless towards Hauge. Although the firearms of the Ming army were powerful, they were far from being strong enough to defeat them by relying solely on firearms.

What really defeated them was the bloody hand-to-hand combat and the assault of the Ming army's spear infantry. The Ning Navy's equipment was too sophisticated.

But the problem is that the armor rate of the Ning Navy is too high, especially more than [-]% of the soldiers are wearing armor made of fine steel. The slave's arrow rain.I fought for a long time, but I couldn't move the opponent, but the opponent counterattacked, and my side was killed and injured. How can I fight this battle?
The Ming army relied on real swords and guns to fight, and finally defeated them. In other words, Jiannu had nothing to say about their defeat this time.Of course, you can’t say these words, even if you know what’s going on, you have to rot in your stomach, and vigorously promote that the Ming army defeated them with firearms, not with real skills...

Although you are deceiving yourself and others, if you don't do this, the morale of the army will collapse!There is no way, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, don't say a few self-deceiving nonsense, even let him bark like a dog, as long as he can bring this army back to Liaoyang, and then withdraw to Shenyang safely, there is nothing he can't do.

Located at the end of the slave camp, Duo Duo saw that Dorgon had been silent, with a somewhat melancholy expression, and couldn't help asking, "Brother Fourteen, what are you thinking about?"

Dorgon smiled wryly, "I'm thinking, what should we do in the future!"

Duoduo smiled disapprovingly and said, "Brother Fourteen, cheer up, victory or defeat is a common matter in military strategists, we lost this time, we just need to find a way to win it back. There are not many elite soldiers like this in Ming Dynasty, we still have Chance!"

"In September last year, Cheng Shijie's Ning Haijun had just been established. The entire army consisted of 500 soldiers, all of whom were infantry. There were only a few firecrackers and even a few cannons!"

Dorgon said with a wry smile: "Just over a year has passed, and now he has 20 to 30 troops. We have been defeated this time, and we will not be able to recover our strength in at least three to five years. With 40, [-], or even [-] elite soldiers, do we still have a chance?"

Dodo is like being in an ice cellar.

Dorgon looked at Duo Duo and said, "Actually, you shouldn't hide it from me!"

"I'm hiding from you? What?"

"What happened in Haizhou in February this year?"

Duoduo was slightly taken aback: "At that time, there was a sudden blizzard..."

"You still haven't told the truth!"

Dorgon said with a serious face: "Brother Twelfth has already said that he encountered Ning Haijun's Lianfa guns in Jinshishan last year, and the army under his command suffered heavy casualties. At that time, Ning Haijun's Lianfa guns were only dozens. Now they have hundreds of…”

"Brother Fourteen, trust me, I really didn't lie to you!"

"never mind!"

Dorgon took a breath, and said with a cold war: "It's meaningless to say these things!"

"Brother Fourteen, are you saying that our Dajin Kingdom has no chance?"

"No chance!"

Duoduo was a little apprehensive: "No, there won't be such a day! The Ming Kingdom is reluctant to spend this money. The pedantic civil servants of the Ming Kingdom will not tolerate the rise of such a powerful new army that threatens their interests. We still have a chance!"

Duo Duo frantically grabbed Dorgon's hand and said, "Brother Fourteen, we can buy off the Guan Ning Army and let them help us deal with these new troops! We can buy those extremely sharp and powerful soldiers from the Ming Army through Shanxi Merchants." Crossbow weapon, we can...we can drive a wedge between the new army and the Wenchen Group, and get rid of Cheng Shijie with the hands of those trash. As long as this person is killed, the morale and morale of the Ming army that has been so hard to gather will be completely dissipated Alright! Brother Fourteen, we still have a chance, cheer up!"
