Chapter 713 Their Guts Are Broken

When the battle was in full swing, a large number of northern captives fell into collapse-like despair because of the superior performance of the Ming army and fled in all directions. Xiao Ruxun saw the situation and decisively ordered all the generals to lead the troops to pursue separately, not to run far, and within two days One night is the limit, scattered and pursued.

The Liaodong cavalry led by Li Rusong captured the most. When they came back, some of them had two horses, some had three horses, and the horses carried food, goods, human heads, and even living people on their backs, driving a large number of cattle. The sheep and horses returned with a full load.

Li Rusong beheaded more than 30 heads by himself, and the four horses were full of his personal trophies. His personal bravery was clear at a glance, and it was really no one's lies to win the three armies bravely.

The second place is Nurhachi's Jurchen Jingqi. This time, he has spent all his money. In order to let his son get better treatment and curry favor with the best general of the Ming Empire, Nurhachi spared no effort to show favor in front of Xiao Ruxun. But that doesn't mean he doesn't want benefits.

This time, Xiao Ruxun issued a military order to allow the army to take the gains, and he did not have to obey the military order, but the Jurchen cavalry who had been restrained for too long and were almost suffocated were very happy. Since Nurhachi, everyone killed people with blood. Except for Liaodong Hanqi, there is really no army that killed more ruthlessly than Nurhachi's troops.

Naturally, they also gained the most food and goods, animal skins and bone products on horseback, and living people. Of course, most of them were human heads. The Ming army still counted human heads, and everything else was their own property. Assign yourself.

Anyway, it was profitable.

The third one was a bit unexpected. It was a Yulin cavalry team, which was second only to Li Rusong and Nurhachi in the number of gains. Not only that, but also brought back the largest herd of cattle, sheep and horses in the entire army. Xiao Ruxun felt that with these strategic materials Reserves, as long as there are enough weapons and armor, it is possible to conduct another expedition to hit the lair of the northern captives.

All in all, the troops that dispersed to pursue the northern captives gained a lot. Two hours after Li Rumei's troops returned, the statistics of the battle results were almost ready. The heads of the beheaded men in this raid alone amounted to 63 Thousand seventy-eight, 470 heads, and the rest of the heads of old and weak women and children are [-] and six.

Calculated in this way, it means that each Ming army sergeant beheaded nearly three heads of northern captives.

This is a human head, and other northern captives who died in various ways, or their bodies were tattered, or their heads were too late to clean up, and there were more corpses exposed in the wilderness like that, which is beyond count.

The armies themselves couldn't tell how many captives they had killed, and Xiao Ruxun didn't know how many captives were entrenched in Guihua City before he killed them.

Everyone only knew that this battle was a hearty and thorough victory. After this battle was over, for a long period of time, no northern captive would dare to go south in this area.

Their guts were all broken.

The losses of the Ming army were relatively insignificant.

The battle losses of the Ming army when they raided Guihua City were about 3000 people, and more than 500 people were lost during the pursuit. The losses were small. Compared with some small losses, what was captured is more worthy of attention.

In this battle, the Ming army captured more than [-] livestock in one go.

These [-] head were not considered war horses, but all cattle and sheep. A large number of cattle and sheep belonging to the Beilu tribe around Guihua City were plundered by the Ming army, and a considerable number of them died in the war.

This time, the Beilu lost both their lives and their livestock. They lost everything. The looted things and what they had originally were basically returned to the Ming army.

Not to mention the tents, those gold and silver jewelry, those bone products, those leather products, those animal products that can be exchanged for a lot of wealth in the Central Plains, etc., were all collected by the Ming army.

From the generals to the soldiers of the Ming army, they all felt the joy and huge profits of war, and felt that war could bring such a wealth of wealth. Is there any battle that cannot be fought?
After the return, the extremely sleepy soldiers of the Ming army fell asleep one after another. Many of them woke up after a full day and night of sleep, so that the celebration meeting was held three days later. During this period, Xiao Ruxun Focused on doing another thing.

Although the soldiers know that the gains belong to themselves, and it doesn't matter if they kill casually, they also know that some people cannot be killed casually. For example, those who look rich or even a little gorgeous in clothes, they are not ordinary people at first glance, they are leaders. This kind of people should be captured alive It's better than killing it, and it's better to dedicate it to Xiao Ruxun.

So Xiao Ruxun got more than 100 prisoners of war at the headman level in one breath, all of them looked panic-stricken, probably except for those extremely beautiful annihilation battles held by Xu Dalanyu and others at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty and captured so many northern captives Apart from the nobles, the Ming army really never captured so many northern captive nobles at one time.

These people represent not only money, but also status. These guys who represent status and wealth can also get the same status and wealth in Daming, so the Ming army has more than 200 more soldiers in one day. Guerrilla generals are even generals.

The newly promoted officers were satisfied, and Xiao Ruxun was also very happy. He didn't expect these soldiers to be so sensible, and they knew how to arrest these important leaders during the massacres to please him.

Mostly it was the idea of ​​reciprocating the good, and I couldn't watch the coach who made me hungry when I was full, so I left the best for the coach.

There are more than 100 northern captive nobles at the headman level. In a sense, this brilliant victory may be more important than the more than 5 young and strong heads of the northern captives. This is an unusual symbol.

From their bodies, it can reflect a bright future, power, and status, and no one will not be ecstatic about it.

These people are best left to the emperor to deal with.

The prisoner presenting ceremony must be the big ones, but first select some small ones to give to the emperor, so that the emperor, who has been in anger and unhappy all the year round, can vent his anger crazily, wouldn't it be beautiful?

Anyway, in the Ming Dynasty, it was very politically correct to deal with the northern captives, let alone so many leaders.

In this way, the emperor is happy, his position is more stable, and his reputation is unshakable. If those civil servants want to do something to him, they must take good care of themselves!
A famous general who has just achieved such a great victory for the country, do you dare to act rashly?

Are you not afraid of criticism?

You group of guys who are going crazy because of fame and face, do you have the nerve to say something in front of so many people?

PS: Thank you for your blessings to me, I have received all your wishes, and I will repay you with the most exciting plot and development.
