The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 118 Rampage
The Houjin army stationed at Luojiazhai has a slave-building top-ranking cattle record, two Tartar centurions, and a total of 460 armored men.

But the actual strength of troops is more than that, because the Tartars and Jiannu who have contacts will come to this stronghold to rest, replenish, or temporarily store the plundered harvest.

Therefore, the number of armored men of the Jin Army behind Luojiazhai has been changing, and theoretically the number is the largest at night.On the afternoon of March [-], when the "Red Banner Army" broke through the city, the number of troops in Luojiazhai happened to be the lowest.

That's because the Houjin army is all bandits, and they can't waste their time in Luojiazhai in broad daylight. They think that when they looted the capital of the Ming Dynasty, it really belonged to an inch of time and an inch of gold, so half of the Houjin army stationed with two Three hundred flags and Baoyi went out to rob.

The "Red Banner Army" raided fast enough, even if the Hou Jin army encountered on the road ran desperately to Luojiazhai, only a hundred or so Jiannu and Tartars were able to enter the city.

The name of the general staying behind at Luojiazhai was E Qili. When he heard that a large group of Ming troops were coming, he immediately sent an order to close the gate of the city, and hurriedly led his troops to prepare for defense on the city wall.

Unexpectedly, just as they were about to arrive, after an earth-shattering explosion, the west gate of Luojiazhai disappeared, and the cavalry of the Ming army rushed into the city directly on the rammed earth and rubble.

The Ming army is not stupid. The law enforcement team has clarified the battlefield discipline. No one is allowed to rob gold, silver and treasures. Everyone must fight the enemy bravely. The purpose of coming out is to be a slave. Income in the bag is not one less.

All the Ming soldiers knew that the heads of Jiannu and Tartars were worthless money, and the law enforcement team did not expressly prohibit the harvesting of beheadings. Many Ming soldiers who acted quickly were happy.

Because they had never discovered that Jiannu and Tartars were so easy to fight, they drove their horses on a rampage, and several fierce soldiers had already hung two or three levels of blood-dripping heads of the Houjin soldiers under the horses' necks.

Eager to get the beheading power and was formally recruited as a soldier of the "Red Banner Army", the white four-wheel drive horse brandished a horse and rushed to the front line.

Jiannu and Tartars were good at bowing horses. Most of the defenders swarmed up the city wall and before they could attack, the Ming army blew up a section of the city wall at the gate. At this time, they were all running desperately. The destination should be the place where the horses were tied. .

The Ming army rode their horses directly into the city. Of course, they took the first opportunity. The Ming army on the horse threw guns, shot arrows, or drove the horse to hit the running Jin army. Not small.

There are also many Ming soldiers who took advantage of it completely. Those Hou Jin soldiers who were bombed dizzy have no fighting power. They are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Own.

Later, the number of Jin soldiers became smaller as they fought, while the Ming soldiers gathered more and more. The difference in strength was huge. The Luojiazhai lost resistance in just half an hour. Seeing that the situation was not good, E Qili took three More than a dozen people left the north gate and fled in the direction of Santunying.

In fact, this kid was a fortune teller. He brought dozens of people before he had time to go up to the city wall, and the bomb exploded. Therefore, they all rode war horses. Seeing Ming soldiers and horses pouring in from the collapsed west gate, Knowing that the city could not be defended, they had no choice but to run away on horseback.

Seeing that the main general had slipped away, the Jin army lost their fighting spirit even more, and they all began to flee. After finding the horse in time, the Jin army still had a chance to escape. Those who lost their horses might only have a dead end.

There were really not many gains in this battle, including more than [-] ranks of Jiannu were attacked and killed, and the heads of a hundred Tartars were beheaded. The bannermen and Baoyi who stayed in Luojiazhai basically had no chance to escape.

A small half of them were killed by the Ming army, and more than half were killed by more than [-] rioting Han people. The Ming army collected a total of two hundred or so heads with money rat tails.

Luojiazhai is not very big. Under the watchful eyes of more than 1 Han people, the Hou Jin army had nowhere to hide, and the remnants of the enemy were quickly wiped out.

An hour later, according to Ma Shilong's statistics, a total of more than 32 levels have been obtained.The Ming army killed 100 people, less than [-] people were seriously injured, and more than [-] people were slightly injured.

Ma Shilong, Wu Zimian, and the generals who participated in the raid rejoiced at such a relaxed and pleasant battle with such small casualties. This is already the number of beheadings second only to the Zunhua victory.

The Ming army was very busy, of course they were busy confiscating the spoils. There were no less than [-] to [-] shi of grain hoarded here, as well as more than a thousand steers, mules, and donkeys, and hundreds of pigs and sheep.

Huang Han knew that there were too many things that could not be taken away with just over [-] Ming troops.

With the experience of mobilizing the masses in Shuangyu Village, he asked the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army" to carry out propaganda, and asked tens of thousands of ordinary people to divide the cattle and grain, and let everyone do their best to carry the grain and hide in the mountains.

Seeing the setting sun slanting to the west, it is impossible to rush back to Zunhua today. Instead of camping in the wilderness, it is better to camp in Luojiazhai.

There is also a huge advantage of staying here overnight, which allows the common people hiding in the nearby mountains to take more food.

The morale of the Ming army, which had won a complete victory, was high. Now most people are very busy helping the law enforcement team to collect gold, silver and treasures. Most of them are not popular. Han people who are allowed to carry food and leave will be searched by the Ming army, because The Ming army discovered Xiaoxiao who stole gold and silver treasures.

The "Red Banner Army" did not interfere with the actions of the Ming army at this time. They put down the pigs and sheep and steamed cooking cakes. All Han people in Luojiazhai, including ordinary people, could come to eat meat, eat cooking cakes and drink broth.

Thousands of ordinary people saw the red flag fluttering, and saw the "Red Banner Army" soldiers eating meat and cooking cakes for everyone. Everyone remembered this team called "Red Banner Army".

The common people cherished food very much. They learned that when the Ming army retreated, the food and supplies that could not be taken away from Luojiazhai would be burned. Everyone tried their best to carry them back and forth to the mountains several times.

Huang Han ordered his subordinates to light up as many bonfires and torches as possible, trying to illuminate the entire Luojiazhai to provide convenience for the common people to carry food.

The mountains here are undulating, and in some places, the cavalry can't go up at all, and many people are hiding. Soon, strong men and healthy women came to Luojiazhai to carry food. It was so busy all night.
When Huang Han ordered the retreat early the next morning, he found that there were no materials worth deliberately setting fire to.

It is obviously not advisable to burn this stockade. The Jin army will retreat in a short time. The houses left in the stockade are the private property of the people. It is too easy to burn down, and it is not easy to rebuild.

When the army withdrew, they did not set fire to the city.Huang Han didn't make special arrangements either.

The 4000 men and horses returned the same way, the law enforcement team had completed their mission, and now they got a new mission to detect the marching route of the army, and the investigation line was widened to a radius of [-] miles.

The benefits have already been obtained, and everyone is unwilling to draw water from a bamboo basket in vain. Huang Han is so cautious that all the generals support him, and the main generals from all walks of life consciously take turns to participate in the scouting.

After fleeing from Luojiazhai, more than a hundred people from the Jin army fled to Santun Yingcheng in the north, and some fled to Majiapo and Qian'an in the south.

However, without exception, the chief generals stationed in the three post-Golden armies did not dare to send troops to rescue Luojiazhai in the middle of the night.

Hearing that the Ming army attacked Luojiazhai, the guard of Majiapo was too busy to take care of himself. He sent messengers to Qian'an overnight for emergency. Strictly speaking, it is impossible to send a single soldier outside.
