The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 119 Longyan Joy
It was already late at night when the Lord General Qian'an of the Hou Jin Army received the news that Luojiazhai had been attacked, and he could mobilize only about a thousand armored men.

Knowing that the Ming soldiers had come by several thousand horses, they had no choice but to treat them negatively. The Tartars and Jiannu who were stationed in Qian'an were dispatched half an hour later than the time when the Ming troops withdrew from Luojiazhai.

They also need to send out scouts to detect the road conditions, marching carefully along the way, it is estimated that there will be no troops of the Ming army at all.

Wakda only met E Qili who had fled to Santun Yingcheng in the second watch. After asking about the situation, he was furious, and immediately tied up the Niulu Ezhen. Waiting for E Qili's fate would not be too much. good.

E Qili didn't know his end. On the way to the Santun camp, he was worrying about gains and losses, thinking about how to get rid of the crime, but it was an indisputable fact that he lost half of his troops and lost a lot of supplies, and he couldn't justify himself.

He even thought about running away instead of going back, but there were a lot more armored men running around him. They were robbed outside the Luojiazhai, and they knew that the old nest was taken away by the Ming army without exception. Come from the direction of Santunying.

E Qili dawdled along the way and couldn't make up his mind, and finally he was surrounded by his subordinates and came to the city of Santunying.

Wakda had a splitting headache, he was afraid of what would happen, he was already on guard against the Zunhua Ming army to take action, and he had made arrangements, who knew that those treacherous Ming army would choose to cross Santun Yingcheng to attack not too far away Luojiazhai.

He has been scolding E Qili for being so useless, how did he defend himself?It stands to reason that he has hundreds of troops in hand, and a team to transport supplies to help defend, so he can hold on for a day or two no matter what.

Now that Luojiazhai has been knocked down by others, it is simply unbelievable.

Santunying City is only a few tens of miles away from the Luojiazhai where the accident happened. Wakeda has already learned from Eqili that there are as many as four or five thousand Ming army cavalry who made a surprise attack. Of course he dare not rush to help at this time.

Wakda hurriedly sent a messenger to deliver the letter to his master overnight, and he waited until the sky was dark before gathering 1000 troops and carefully approaching Luojiazhai.

This kid obviously has the opportunity to lead the troops to attack from the west overnight, as long as he moves quickly, there is a nine out of ten possibility of stopping the Ming army from completing the raid and turning back.

But this kid knew the truth of returning to the teacher and not hiding it. He was afraid that if he brought thousands of people up, it would be icing on the cake for the Ming army.

This is because Luojiazhai was stunned by the Ming army and a few slave guards with a small number of troops under his command, they all chose to treat them negatively.

Huang Han led his men and horses all the way smoothly, and more than [-] Ming troops ran back to Zunhua at sunset, causing many generals to regret worrying about affecting their marching speed, so they gave hundreds of bullocks to the common people and led them into the vast mountains .

Liu Zhilun had received a report from the scouts a long time ago, and learned that the surprise attack ended perfectly, and our army had a small loss and a huge harvest. He has already slaughtered pigs and sheep to reward the three armies.

The Ming army, which had won the battle and made a fortune, did not feel tired even though it marched for seven hours a day. After the army entered the city and had a good meal, it began to sit on the ground and divide the spoils.

The 20 taels of snowflake silver promised to each attacking fighter was cashed on the spot, and the imperial court had to reward the fighters with decapitation credits.

The "Red Banner Army" shared the benefits according to the ratio of 600 troops, that is, 15.00/[-], or [-]%.

Huang Han got precious metals worth more than 140 taels of silver, a total of 120 bolts of silk cloth, 45 war horses, [-] draft horses, [-] pairs of iron armor, and the rest such as bows and arrows, bird guns, knives and guns, etc. Not a lot.

This time, both Liu Zhilun and Huang Han had mastered their studies, and neither of them shared the seizure privately.

Wu Zimian knew that he had a bad reputation. He had been a first-rank military officer for four or five years. In fact, his official position had come to an end. He didn't want to get the vanity of being a prince, but only wanted to support his Yansui army. .

This kid is about as good as a bandit on Qinwang Road. The officials and censors impeached him for his military looting.

Wu Zimian believes that as long as he has a strong soldier in his hand, everyone will give face. He doesn't care about the impeachment of the official Yushi at all, and presides over the distribution of spoils.

The benefits are divided according to the number of troops sent, and the gold, silver, cloth and other good things that Ma Shilong and Wu Zimian got are twice as much as the main force and the "Red Banner Army" who broke the city.

These two people were so embarrassed that they took the initiative to let the "Red Banner Army" choose horses first. Of course, Song Pengfei, Zhang Yang and others who would meet horses would not be polite. They didn't lead a single horse and brought back 260 fat and strong horses. war horse.

The rest of the battalion head general Zuo Quan pretended not to see it, and once again cooperated with Huang Han, they were even more convinced, and everyone was willing to form a good relationship with the "Red Banner Army".

During this period of time, Huang Han got a lot of good things. Huang Han didn't pay much attention to other materials. What he valued most were horses and iron armor. The armor captured several times had been repaired by the blacksmith in Zunhua City.

Now everyone in the "Red Banner Army" cavalry is guaranteed to be equipped with iron armor and cotton armor. There are [-] mounted infantry who also have a combination of cotton armor and leather armor. The number of horses they own has reached more than [-] horses. There are more than [-] pack horses.

After a period of running-in, most of the troops recruited outside the capital have been assimilated by the "Red Banner Army". They fell in love with this team that had meat every day, paid on time, and often won military rewards.

What they felt the most was not the treatment and benefits of this team, but the happy relationship between the officers and soldiers. All the officers below the general Huang Han are not specialized, and they eat and live with ordinary soldiers like a family.

This respect is enough to keep in mind the simple fighters who were originally selected. The "Red Banner Army" really did what Qi Jiguang sang: "When all are united, the mountains can be shaken. Only loyalty and righteousness, the spirit of the bullfight. The Lord will kiss you I am better than my parents..."

The group of "Red Banner Army" gave the big soldiers a sense of belonging, and the cohesion is of course increasing every day. It is estimated that it will not be long before all the soldiers will follow Huang Han generously to die without frowning.

That night there was a riot in the city of Zunhua, and many cavalrymen of the Ming army who had been beheaded were showing off, which aroused the envy and jealousy of the infantry brothers.

The uninterrupted victories have boosted morale, "Come as soon as you call, you can fight if you come, and you can win if you fight." It seems that it can't be done, but at this time, Zunhua City has these Ming troops who are not afraid of the enemy like a tiger. impregnable.

Liu Zhilun personally inspected the gains one by one with his confidant Ding, and immediately wrote the victory report. He sent Liu Fu and Liu An, two long entourages brought from their hometown, to the capital overnight with a hundred cavalry.

After more than 450 levels, the heads of the Jin army are all in the fresh-keeping period. Among them, there are nearly [-] real slaves and tartars. Presumably such a result will make the holy emperor Long Yan very happy.
