Ming Dynasty: Starting from Liaodong Jiangmen

Chapter 78
After a melee for almost half an hour, the battle ended quietly.

Although the two Zhenghongqi Niulu retreated very quickly, the journey was still not easy.

On their way back, they had to pass through Funing County.

Today's Funing County has been completely abandoned by Huang Taiji after the battle of Changli. Wu Sangui of the Ningyuan Central Regiment had recaptured Funing and the towns along Changli on the orders of his father, Jinzhou Commander Wu Xiang, the day before.

This was an opportunity to gain military merit. Wu Xiang had always wanted his son to inherit his position in Liaodong and would not give up this opportunity at all.

Wu Sangui easily regained most of the east of Yongping Prefecture after the Jin army retreated, and gained a lot of military glory for nothing.

If it were an ordinary general, I'm afraid he wouldn't have intervened in this battle. It would even be difficult for some people to discover that this annihilation battle that took place in Huangniwa more than thirty miles outside the city was all about a grand celebration banquet.

But although Wu Sangui was young, he had fought as many battles as Li Shunzu.

Even in terms of combat command, he did not grow up like Li Shunzu who suffered a little loss.

Wu Sangui grew up under the guidance of his father since he was a child. He was well-read in military books, from Sun Tzu's Art of War to Qi Jiguang's Ji Xiao's New Book. He liked to wield swords and guns very much. He went into battle when he was a teenager and was called a genius.

After Wu Sangui came to Funing, he did not start to celebrate and enjoy like others. On the contrary, he always kept an eye on all directions and listened to all directions. Without any intelligence, he only relied on his own intuition to predict that there would be something going on all the way. Later, the Jin army retreated from Funing.

However, he did not get a detailed map from Amin like Li Shunzu did.

Therefore, Wu Sangui discovered that Shenshu Camp and Tuanshan Camp were setting up an ambush in Huangniwa even earlier than the Later Jin Army.

But he chose to pretend not to know and had no intention of sending troops to support him.

He just set up an ambush in advance on the only way to escape to Jialing near Huangniwa. He waited until Li Shunzu and the Hou Jin army decided the winner, and then intercepted and killed the fleeing Hou Jin army on the roadside.

Therefore, Wu Sangui's men made a lot of money without losing almost a single soldier.

The two Hou Jin soldiers who escaped from Huangniwa, Zheng Hongqi Niulu Ezhen, were suddenly intercepted and killed by Wu Sangui when they fled to the northwest of Funing County. They were defeated and lost their helmets and armor.

One of them was shot to death by Wu Sangui with an arrow.

The remaining Niu Lu did not expect that the Ming army would actually set up so many ambushes. He was even more certain that there was a spy in Houjin, and the status of this spy should be high, so he fled in embarrassment.

In the end, out of a team of more than 1000 people at the time of departure, only he and a few guards escaped back to Jieling.

Huang Taiji looked at the high-spirited Dajin warriors, who were actually intercepted by the Ming army. The wind roared and the grass and trees were all in pieces. Only a few of the more than 1000 people came back. He was even more furious and felt like his face was being slapped.

As for discussing with Fan Wencheng about finding the traitor, that's a story for another day.

Now Li Shunzu has won the battle and is leading his team to clean up the battlefield.

According to the agreement with Amin, the armor, horses and supplies carried by these more than a thousand Zhenghongqi were all owned by Li Shunzu.

Xiong Xinghu was directing the team to clean up the battlefield, and he was also laughing.

"The Governor is so clear-eyed. This Amin is actually so obedient. What he said is absolutely correct. There is no discrepancy at all. They are exactly the same. This battle was so enjoyable!"

Xu Dong also showed a smile and said: "Yeah, it's rare to see Dong Nu collapse at the drop of a hat. This scene has appeared in my dreams many times. I didn't expect that the first time I saw it, I was following the governor."

"Following the army and serving the King this time is the most correct decision for me in my life."

Several people laughed, this was indeed a rare victory.Because the battle loss ratio between the two sides was almost one-sided, all members of the Shenshu Battalion were now cavalry. Under the leadership of Li Shunzu, they charged back and forth on the battlefield. Jiannu collapsed before he could organize a cavalry counterattack, so the casualties were very small.

There were only a dozen casualties in Shenshu Camp, and three of them were accidentally injured by the cannons released by Tuanshan Camp.

The Tuanshan camp was all infantry, and they were responsible for the final siege, which triggered a desperate struggle among the remaining Zhenghongqi slave soldiers. As a result, more than 100 people were killed and hundreds more were injured to varying degrees.

However, the Liao army was well organized and accompanied by medical officers. They were rescuing people and treating the wounded on the battlefield. With the supplies that Li Shunzu had requested, the wounded were recovering quickly, and there was no longer the situation where a large number of people died in beds in the past. .

"Congratulations to Governor Li. He won the victory and became famous in the battle of Luanhe. Now he has annihilated hundreds of slaves and rescued tens of thousands of captive people. Your Majesty will be very happy after hearing this. Congratulations in advance!"

When Li Shunzu saw the compliment from the leading general sent by Tuanshan Camp, he looked solemn and showed no complacency. He quickly got off his horse, took the general's hand, and said with a smile: "What did you say, brother? "

"In this battle, without the brothers of Tuanshan Camp, our Shenshu Camp alone will never be able to do it."

"The credit for this battle also belongs to the brothers of Tuanshan Camp. After I returned to Beijing, I, Li Shunzu, made it clear to the emperor the contribution of all brothers. I also asked the brothers of Tuanshan Camp to not be polite about the military supplies present."

The general was stunned. He Kegang had given instructions before the battle, telling them not to touch the Dongnu baggage materials obtained by the Shenshu Battalion on the battlefield. He had already planned to turn around and leave, but he did not expect Li Shunzu to be so heroic.

He rolled his eyes, laughed loudly, and said with cupped hands: "In that case, I would rather obey your orders than to be respectful. Li Xunwei has made great achievements this time, and his great achievements have been accomplished. When the class teacher returns to the capital, he will definitely be promoted to a noble title."

"Please allow me to call you Sir!"

Li Shunzu was also beaming, with rare happiness on his face, and said repeatedly: "Haha, I just don't know if I will have the opportunity to return to Liaodong in the future. If that happens, I will need the full support of all brothers!"

The general didn't hesitate, but there was a bit of melancholy on his face, but he didn't say anything. He just slapped his chest and said loudly: "Brothers and sisters, we have been looking forward to this day!"

After exchanging a few words, the general ordered the Tuanshan camp to also clean up the battlefield and obtain supplies.

Li Shunzu didn't notice the melancholy look flashing in the general's eyes. After seeing him leave, he turned around and found that Xiong Xinghu, Yu Kuan, and Xu Dong were mingling with the generals of Tuanshan Camp, talking and laughing with each other. .

They all chatted and laughed, especially Xiong Xinghu, who was a social bastard. He had already hooked up with several Tuanshan camp generals and called them brothers, almost sworn sworn brothers on the spot.

It is said that Xiong Xinghu rescued a Ningyuan guerrilla general from Tuanshan Camp on the battlefield. He had a life-long friendship and his popularity was naturally high.

When they passed by, Li Shunzu heard that these gangsters were having a heated discussion about which brothel in the capital had girls with thin waists and fat butts. They also said that they would find a brothel after returning home, drink and play, and get drunk.

Li Shunzu couldn't help but be a little envious. If he could have the attributes of a social cow like Xiong Xinghu in future generations, I'm afraid he would be able to do well in future generations!
Not long ago, Xifengkou.

A group of Dongnu cavalry from Zhenglan Banner wearing armor, numbering more than 1 people, carrying a large amount of supplies and baggage, slowly arrived at the gate of Xifengkou.

At the top of the city, the flag of the Ming Dynasty was flying.

The leader of the team was none other than the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, the Second Beile Amin of Houjin, and his ministers from the Zhenglan Banner.

Just when they were about to ask for the switch to cross the border in accordance with the agreement, there was no movement in the city.

Amin was stunned for a moment, his face gradually became irritable, and he slowly held his hand on the big knife at his waist.

"Are you going to break the agreement?!"
