Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 504 Outsmarting Hulao Pass (5)

The [-] Ming army rushed towards Guancheng like a torrent breaking a dike, and within half an hour, they attacked Guancheng.

On a certain artillery camp outside the pass, the sixty cannons in red under Li Zhushi's careful men hadn't come and showed their power, and the gate of Hulao Pass was opened.

Immediately afterwards, the one-eyed general Ma Wannian and the young general Zhang Huan followed with the two ace divisions of the Imperial Guard, and rushed in from the gate of the city like a tide.

Li Zhushi on the artillery battalion kept shaking his head, he still couldn't get enough of it, he felt that he was out of action, and he couldn't fire shells to the top of the city anymore, otherwise he would hurt his own people.After laying out the cannons for a long time, he felt that it was not enjoyable, and he was a little futile, and said silently in his heart: "Your Majesty, you have always arranged so carefully, and there is nothing wrong with the first victory in this battle. Now the ammunition is sufficient. You don't have to worry about the shells at all, it's so majestic to use cannons to clear the way, you can only save it for later use."

Li Zhushi muttered in his heart, and ordered people to quickly dismantle the cannon and prepare to enter Guancheng.

Now there is a melee in Guancheng, Liu Fangliang and Gao Yigong are unwilling to fail, they command their subordinates to fight desperately, intending to drive out the Dashun army who attacked the city.

However, there are more and more soldiers in the Ming army, and there are fewer and fewer people around them, knowing that the situation is over.

At this time, Song Xiance rushed over with his personal guards, and shouted to the second general, "The city can't be defended anymore, the two generals hurry up, if it's too late, it's too late."

Liu Fangliang and Gao Yigong no longer love to fight, they join forces with Song Xiance, they protect Song Xiance and go out to kill, finally lead a bloody road with the defeated soldiers, abandon Guancheng and escape.

As soon as the three chief generals ran away, the remaining generals of the Dashun army had no backbone, and the dragons had no leader, and they all surrendered with their weapons.

The Ming army quickly occupied Hulao Pass.

Ma Jinhua, Ma Wannian, He Xuanjiao and Zhang Huan led people to occupy the commander's mansion, cleaned it up thoroughly, used it as a temporary palace, and let the imperial army and police weapons, and then Zhu Yousong and others were like stars. Generally connected to Hulao Pass.

Zhu Yousong rode a lantern for thousands of miles, Xinma reined in and entered Guancheng, hundreds of Jinyi guards with angry horses and swordsmen cleared the way in front, Li Quan and Liu Chunhong followed closely, Zhao Fu and the others followed closely with five hundred muskets.

The welcoming soldiers lined up neatly at the entrance of the pass, each with bright helmets and armor. From the inside to the outside of the pass, they lined up in two long lines that could not be seen at a glance.

Zhu Yousong's expression was calm, and his heart was happy. I made a small plan, and this dangerous pass was achieved. The Hulao was locked so smoothly, and it took less than two hours before and after.

Breaking through the moon formation, crossing the Yellow River, and outsmarting Hulao Pass, these few battles were fought more beautifully than the last. If future generations want to judge any politician, the military strategist must be on the list. In these few battles, even if Zhuge was alive, Ziya's rebirth would be nothing more than that.

Zhu Yousong's heart was trembling, and his face was full of joy.

On the way to the commander-in-chief's mansion, Zhu Yousong saw captured generals of the Dashun Army everywhere, escorted away in groups by the Ming army.

Many soldiers of the Ming army were cleaning the battlefield, some were burying corpses, some were carrying the wounded, and the military medical officers were treating the wounded. Very happy.

After the war, not only he had to treat his own wounded, but also the wounded of the enemy. Military doctors are now used to this kind of work mode.

In Zhu Yousong's eyes, they were enemies on the battlefield, but now they are wounded. Regardless of whether they surrendered or not, they must be treated. This kind of humanitarian spirit not only saved lives, but also made many enemy soldiers and generals feel grateful, miraculously. Returning to the imperial court, singing praises for Zhu Yousong, and then being loyal to the Great Tomorrow Empire, this is also a means of Zhu Yousong employing people, and it has also been praised by people.

The Quartermaster Office is busy reporting battles and counting casualties and spoils.

Returning to the temporary Xingyuan, the scholar Xiaoliu offered tea.

Not long after, Li Zhushi entered the city with the artillery team, and then Li Guofu, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, also entered Hulaoguan with [-] soldiers, horses and food supplies.

In the evening, the figures came out, and the Dashun Army wiped out more than 8000 people in this battle, of which [-] were prisoners, and all of them were willing to submit to the imperial court and continue to serve as soldiers without exception.

Zhu Yousong was very happy, and asked Li Quan to cooperate with Li Guofu to reorganize the captives, digest and absorb the captives at Hulao Pass, and gave them three days to complete the matter.

All the knives and spears, artillery and ammunition, food, grass and dirty silver, horses and livestock, gongs and drums and tents obtained were all sent to the army according to Zhu Yousong's order and distributed according to needs.

In this battle, the Dashun Army only suffered casualties of more than 3000 horses, while the casualties of the Ming Army soldiers were even more negligible, less than 800 people. For such a dangerous pass and such a large battlefield, such casualties are simply negligible.In particular, the casualties on both sides were so small, almost like soldiers without bloodshed.

Therefore, the whole battalion is praising Zhu Yousong for using his troops like a god, and this battle can only be so beautiful, thanks to Huiying, Huimei and Zhang Nai, the surrendered generals of the Dashun Army, who enjoyed watching the city today Performance.

Zhu Yousong should deliver the decree to reward Mr. Qian who returned the silver from the bottom of the Guancheng to the top of the city. Zhu Yousong saw this scene clearly from a certain high slope outside the Guancheng, and at that time he agreed with this man in his heart. He is a talented person. Not only can he kill the enemy on the battlefield, but he can also act in front of others. This man has brought out the relationship and friendship to the fullest. Under his leadership, the soldiers in the city and the city have become harmonious when they are hostile. It is easy to disturb the enemy's morale The key to breaking through the pass.

Both Ma Jinhua and Xuanjiao came to Yan Yuying to sing praises to Zhu Yousong. They didn't see Huiying Huimei and Zhang Nai who had made the most contributions in this battle, so they asked Li Guofu, the eunuch next to him.

Xiao Liu spoke quickly, "Sister Ying, Sister Hui, and Brother Zhang Nai don't seem very happy..."

Li Guofu's white face tightened, then he smiled like a chrysanthemum, and said nothing.

Ma Jinhua and He Xuanjiao quickly glared at Liu Shi, and the clever Xiao Liushi felt that she was out of control again, so she quickly shut up and didn't say the following words.

For such a beautiful victory and such a great achievement, Huimei would have come to ask me for credit in normal times, but the three of them are not very happy, so I have to come and ask for details.

Soon Huiying, Huimei and Zhang Nai were announced to be in front of Zhu Yousong, and the three of them knelt down to salute, Zhu Yousong made them flat, and the three of them thanked them, standing upright without saying a word.

Zhu Yousong took a look at the three of them, and finally his eyes fell on Huimei's beautiful face. Huimei really didn't have the delicateness of the past and the joy after winning the battle.

"The three of you have made great contributions in this battle. I plan to reward you heavily. Tell me, what do you want?" Zhu Yousong looked at them with a smile.

"It all depends on His Majesty's ingenious calculations. The ministers are only doing their best, so how dare they ask for any reward?" Huimei took the lead, and the three of them saluted in unison and said modestly.

Zhu Yousong secretly smiled in his heart, the three of them were really not very happy, there must be a reason for this, I have to figure it out tonight, I don't need to tell the truth from a child, and I don't need to embarrass the eunuch and the two beautiful concubines Ma He, I am There is a way, follow the decree and let Huimei go to bed tonight.

Huimei squeezed out a smile, and saluted shyly: "The concubine accepts the decree."
