Wanli 1592

Chapter 25 The Attacking Magui

On the third night of the army's departure, the army had to stay overnight to rest because of the forced march. They cooked and ate the food they got along the way and the horse meat cut from the Mongolian horses that died in Pinglu City. The hundred soldiers ate well, and then slept comfortably. Both Ma Gui and Xiao Ruxun felt it. Keep going, and tomorrow you will definitely encounter the city where the main force of the rebel army is stationed, because it is far away from the rebel base camp in Ningxia. The town is only a hundred miles away.

The night was quiet and clear, and most of the soldiers fell asleep to accumulate energy, but Xiao Ruxun couldn't fall asleep for some reason, standing neatly on the top of the city, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

"What's the matter, why don't you go back to bed so late?"

Xiao Ruhui's voice sounded behind her, Xiao Ruxun turned her head back to look at her second brother, and smiled slightly.

"I'm just thinking, after this battle, after the rebellion subsides, what should we do."

"Where do we go?" Xiao Ruhui smiled, and seemed to feel that Xiao Ruxun was thinking too much: "Of course I still stay in the northwest. Of course, if the fourth brother has made great contributions, he will at least be promoted to the deputy commander. As a brother, it depends on the situation. If this battle I can also make some contributions, and maybe I can be promoted and command an army alone. However, no matter how promoted I am, I will not be able to return to my original status. Alright, fourth brother, Shiro, I'm looking forward to it for you."

It is the tradition of the Ming Dynasty that the literati are promoted and the warriors confer titles. The Ming Dynasty still puts a lot of military merit in name, and it is almost impossible for civil servants to be knighted. For example, the reason why Wang Yangming was knighted was because he put down the rebellion of King Ning and the southwestern rebels. The military exploits rather than political achievements, and the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty was very cautious in conferring titles, and military exploits such as Qi Jiguang failed to confer titles.

Of course, this is also related to Qi Jiguang's own situation. In the Ming Dynasty, the military merits were first focused on the northern border, the northwest was first, the Liaodong was second, and the southwest and southeast were ranked behind. Military merit still has this level, followed by the number of beheadings, and whether Qi Jiguang can be said to be a good fighter for his achievements in opening up territories and destroying the country. Lord.

And Xiao Ruxun's battle was almost on the verge of becoming a knight. The first was the Northwest Battle. Although it was not a field battle, it was also the second battle of the city defense. He beheaded [-] ranks and wiped out [-] captive cavalry , Beheading Zhulitu, almost killed all the strong men of the Zhulitu tribe, which greatly shocked the Mongolian grassland tribes. Now, if Emperor Wanli is happy, he might give him an earl.

Of course, Xiao Ruxun also knows very well that it is indeed easy for a military general to be promoted, and it is also easy to lose an official, but it is very difficult to confer a title. A general with a title is different from a general without a title. It is very difficult to be knighted, and it is also very difficult to be promoted.

"Brother, tell me, what will happen if I go to Shu and ask for the recovery of Hetao?"

Xiao Ruxun suddenly uttered shocking words, which stunned Xiao Ruhui with fright, and she was speechless for a while, Xiao Ruxun looked at Xiao Ruhui's terrified expression, and laughed.

"Hahahahaha! Brother, don't bother, it's just a joke, hahaha! Look at how scared you are! Hahahaha!"

It took Xiao Ruhui a while to react, and she slapped Xiao Ruxun on the back as if she had survived the catastrophe: "Don't talk nonsense! We are not allowed to say such things! Remember!"

"Okay, okay!" Xiao Ruxun repeatedly agreed: "Remember, remember!"

Only then did Xiao Ruhui stroke her chest and let out a sigh of relief, and went back to sleep muttering.

Looking at Xiao Ruhui's leaving back, the smile on Xiao Ruxun's face suddenly disappeared.

Hetao is not in his hands, and he will always be passively beaten. If he wants to solve the Mongolian problem once and for all, he must and can only recover Hetao, and then take the road of Wei Qinghuo Qubing from Hetao, and fight against the Mongols in Mobei to completely solve it, or simply put it away Drive to Europe to harm the Europeans, to hurt both Europeans, this is the only way to solve the deadlock on the nine sides!

only……

Xiao Ruxun lowered his head, knowing that the current Ming Dynasty no longer has the confidence and courage it had back then. Zeng Mi proposed to regain the Hetao, and even put forward a perfect strategic concept, but he was cut off in the end. Having said that, it is almost certain that a masturbation will end, and it is impossible to know if you lose your life. If you want to accomplish this thing that now seems like a luxury, I guess you can only wait for the opportunity.

In the early morning of March 20, 22th year of Wanli, Magui ordered the Qi Ming Army to have 500 soldiers, with [-] people from the capital Xiao Ruhui and Qian Zong Zhao Hu as the vanguard. One thousand is the backing of the whole army, set off after the Chinese army, and the whole army is not allowed to attack at will without orders.

At noon, Xiao Ruhui's troops sent sentry cavalry back to report that there was a rebel barracks ten miles ahead, and the number of people was no more than [-], which was about garrison. There is no need to hide, and the town of Ningxia is very tall and strong, and there are many defenders. It is not possible to attack with a sneak attack and [-] troops. The means of night attack are not reliable, so I choose the whole army to cover up and kill , Expose yourself to deter the rebels, and create a good opportunity for Wei Xuezeng's main force to march.

Immediately, Ma Gui ordered Generals Xiao Ruhui and Zhao Hu to lead their troops to cover up the camp, break through the barracks, and then launch an attack on the Tucheng stronghold of the rebel army in the west of Ningxia town.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Ruhui's unit, which was about to charge, officially started to attack. Xiao Ruxun ordered thirty modified Fran locomotive cannons to line up and let the deputy general Wang Hui command. Wang Hui raised his sword and shouted: "Load the ammunition!! "

The gunner immediately loaded the ammunition skillfully and lit the torch.

"Light it up!! Let it go!!"

boom boom boom boom...

For the rebel garrison who was enjoying the afternoon sun, the sudden artillery fire was a typical disaster. The women who had just eaten and played enough to rob each other also received a lot of robbed jewelry, which belonged to hardcore Liu Dongyang, a rebel army, was still enjoying himself just now, but disaster struck, a row of shells fell, and lead flew around. They were beaten with blood and flesh, and their limbs were broken, and their internal organs were everywhere. I was stunned.

Many rebels who were bombed lay on the ground and called for help, unable to even hold their weapons. What's more, they ran away when they heard the noise, and didn't want to resist at all. The whole camp was in chaos.

"kill!!"

Ma Gui found that the rebel camp was not prepared for war at all, so he knew that this was a silver-like wax gun head, and overjoyed, he drew his sword and gave an order.

Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered to stop the bombardment. The moment the bombardment stopped, Xiao Ruhui and Zhao Hu rode their horses and brought [-] soldiers who were eager to make contributions, roaring and killed them. Tigers rushed into the rebel camp. The rebels were few and did not dare to resist. Anyway, several soldiers chased a rebel and chopped it down. If it was cut down, it would not count as making up for it, until it was dripping with blood. Find other rebels to hack and kill.

Such a fierce, straight-killing rebels lost their helmets and armor and were defeated. The battle was resolved in just two quarters of an hour. Five hundred rebels were wiped out and more than 430 people were beheaded. Only a few dozens of people knelt down and begged for surrender—they almost collapsed They didn't even have the strength to escape, and the loss of the Ming army was nothing more than a few people who were too excited and sprained their feet while chasing the rebels.
