Blood from Daming

Chapter 70 The Great Victory
Xue Yun's Datong Army fought an asymmetrical battle against the [-] miscellaneous allied forces led by Li Sutai.

Miss Yu, who is familiar with the terrain, led five hundred men to quickly detour to Li Shutai's back, while Xue Yun commanded archers with nearly four times the strength to shoot at each other, especially when the Datong Ming Army had two super archers, Xue Yun and Xue Liu. In Li Sutai's miscellaneous allied forces, the Tartar shooter who performed a little bit better was sent back to his hometown by Xue Yun and Xue Liu as soon as he showed his glory.

Seeing that more than half of the dead and injured, Li Shitai no longer had the thought of being rewarded for his meritorious deeds. He didn't care whether it was half an hour or not. Li Shitai greeted his subordinates and turned around and wanted to run away. He had no choice but to force his subordinates to charge Miss Yu's army. Five hundred knights under Miss Yu aimed at the enemy with their bows and arrows.

Li Shuitai, who was preparing for the charge, was constantly shot down from his horse. At this time, the Manchu and Mongolian Tartars did not have such a strong psychological advantage as later. The first to surrender were the Mongols, followed by the Liaodong Han people, and finally even died. Li Shutai also got off his horse and stood on the side without gnawing. The stubborn Jianzhou Tartars were either shot or killed by the Ming army who rushed up.

A arduous and bloody battle was over. Li Shutai’s 130 Tartar soldiers were left with [-] soldiers. The soldiers who were seriously injured and still alive were repaired by the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield. Miss Yu led her men and wanted to pursue them. Abatai, Xue Yun hurried to stop Miss Yu to persuade the Jianzhou Tartars that they were at the end of their rope and was in a hurry to prevent him from jumping over the wall in a hurry. Miss Yu would not understand these reasons, so Xue Yun came to persuade her to go downhill on the way, feeling sweet in his heart. Talk about catching up.

Xue Yun, Datong Luo Wei Commander, and Liang Shoubei were together. Lu Yaojin came to report: a total of 150 Manchu and Han Tartars were captured, no wounded (all have been beheaded), 670 heads were cut off, and 430 nine horses were captured , weapons, armor, flags, etc., and countless supplies.Three hundred and seven people were killed in the Datong Military Expenditure Headquarters, 48 ​​in Xue Liu’s Department, eight in Xue Yun’s Headquarters, seven in Miss Yu’s Department, three in Liang’s Garrison Department, the commander of Datong’s guards, and none in Wang Bazong. casualties.

Commander Wei Luo of Datong felt a little regretful. When he came here, he wanted to make meritorious service and was afraid of fighting. You must know that it was so easy and rushed to come early in the morning, but now Mr. Xue has to share some credit. He has made great achievements again, but he feels sorry for him, and next time he must show Master Xue a good performance.

Liang Shoubei was very happy in his heart. He did not behave properly in the Yangmen incident last time. This time he did not hesitate at all. Although he did not put in much effort, the 1000 Tartars might not retreat without him. So skill is inescapable, I hope this time I can be promoted to the position of general.

Xue Yun said to Lu Yaojin: "Go and make arrangements. All the dead mules and horses will be brought back to the city. There will be a big battle in a few days to tell the soldiers not to waste the food."

Boss Fei came over to see Xue Yun and said, "The leader of that team wants to see you, but he probably won't be able to."

When Xue Yun came to Wang Kui's side, Wang Kui was speechless, and all the words were narrated by the second boss Ji Tianen.

After Ji Tianen finished speaking, Wang Kui, the master of the plate, slowly loosened Xue Yun's hand. Wang Kui's head tilted and finally passed. All his subordinates were crying to death, and Xue Yun could only watch from the sidelines.

In the end, there are 69 people left in Wang Kui's tributaries, and if there are more than a dozen people who can survive, it depends on whether his body can bear the injury. Wang Kui was injured and finally died because he wanted to give Datong The highest official said a few words to leave a way for his remaining brothers to survive.

After listening to Ji Tianen's narration, Xue Yun also felt a little sour. No matter what Wang Kui and the others have done before, how big a crime they have committed, and no matter what their motives are for fighting the Tartars this time, they are also victims from another perspective. After all, he has done something that is beneficial to Daming and the general public, so he has the obligation to fulfill their wishes for them.

Xue Yun solemnly gave a military salute to the 69 brothers who were standing, sitting, and lying down, and then said to them: "I don't care what you did before, but now you are fighting the Tartars desperately for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. , those who have made contributions to the people of Ming Dynasty, you are willing to stay in the Datong Army, I welcome you very much, but everyone must abide by the discipline in the army. I will report to the imperial court for you, ask for credit and reward for you, and rectify the names of your eight hundred sons. Daming did not abandon his children, and now I will send you to Datong City to rest."

The 69 brothers headed by Ji Tianen, the second master, burst into tears. They were not born bad people, and they also wanted to live a normal life. Now they can return to their hometown in Daming. They are both happy and sad. It has been five years. After the defeat, they didn't dare to return to the court and become bandits. How much life did they sacrifice for this day.

Xue Yun returned to Datong City with a team of troops. He heard that the army and the people in the city were elated after the victory. Datong Supervisor Zhang Gonggong, Datong Zhao Zhifu, Datong County Lizhi County, Tutouling and other officials were waiting at the Ying'en Gate. Everyone was happy at the meeting. Under the cheers of the people in the city, Xue Yun and the others were greeted into the main town office with blows and blows.

The Shanxi General Town Office was vacant because the officials moved to Taiyuan, Xuanfu. The eunuch Zhang Gonggong, the eunuch of the Royal Horse Supervisor, came here as soon as he came to Datong. Xue Yun knew that he was only temporarily acting as the deputy chief soldier who lived in Yang Qing In the mansion, in order to avoid the suspicion of doves occupying the magpie's nest, they immediately held a meeting with officials at all levels to discuss the excerpt of playing the emperor and Eunuch Wei.

Eunuch Zhang, the supervisor of Datong, immediately sent someone to send a memorial back to Beijing to report to the emperor, the news of Eunuch Wei's great victory in Datong Mansion.

Xue Yun determined that Jianzhou was invaded by Mongols and issued an order: General Zhang and Yu Dacheng will retreat to the outskirts of Datong City. The magistrate of Datong, Mr. Zhao, and the magistrate of Datong County, Mr. Li, will notify the soldiers and civilians of all prefectures and counties to enter the city without conditions. It is allowed to return home after the war in Datong Prefecture.The commander of the Datong Guard cooperated with the mission of the prefect of Datong, and at the same time recruited guards to enter the city to assist in the defense.Datong City implements military requisition for bulk materials and pays according to price. From now on, Datong City material personnel cannot leave the city at will.

Xue Yun clarified the defense of Datong City: North Gate Yu Family, Dongmen Liang Guards General Wang Qian, South Gate Chief Tutou Huang Qian led the Supervising Army, West Gate Chief Wang Qian, Fei Qian Headquarters suffered too many casualties to help defend and recuperate, Xue Yun The sixth is the mobile cavalry force. Lu Yaojin led the Chinese army, Li Xiaoyong, Yu Si, the commander of the company, and Ji Tianen's infantry battalion.Zhang Shen will be the reserve team, and Datong Wei Luo will be the commander to assist in the defense.

Xue Yun, Zhang Gonggong, the supervisor of the army, and Datong Zhao Zhifu collectively decided to give preferential treatment to the Datong officers and soldiers who fought against the Jianzhou Tartars: 100 taels of silver for those killed in battle, 50 taels to 50 taels of wounds, Wang Kui’s volunteers enjoy the same treatment as the Datong army , The officers and soldiers who participated in the war were rewarded with ten taels of silver, the head of the Jianzhou Tartars was [-] taels, the rest of the Tartars were halved, and the leaders of the Jianzhou Tartars were rewarded with officials and rewards according to their ranks.

Xue Yun left the general town office of Eunuch Zhang, the supervising army of Datong, and went back to his deputy general's mansion to immediately invite Mr. Wang and shopkeeper Cheng from "Xu Ji Silk Village".

The two sisters of Bumbutai were imprisoned when they entered Xue Yun's place. Xue Yun arranged for a doctor to see a doctor for Hari Zhula, and called Lu Yaojin to ask him to select a few of Xue Zhuang's cronies, who would be veterans in the army. There are about 50 people to spare.

Mr. Wang and Shopkeeper Cheng came to see Xue Yun. Xue Yun told him that a war was about to break out in Datong, and told them to leave Datong City immediately and rush back to Beijing as soon as possible. The family has also established a relationship, and the goods for the return journey have already been prepared, so I just had to say hello to Xue Yun. Now Xue Yun let them go back, which is exactly what he wants. The two sides exchanged some topics, and then they quit and took the letter entrusted by Xue Yun to go home. up.

On the second day, Datong City was carrying out the battle preparation work in an orderly manner. Xue Yun divided the more than 50 people selected into five groups of different sizes, and arranged them in several quiet courtyards in the vice commander's mansion. Each group handled them separately. Gunpowder, sulphur, charcoal, gunpowder wick, five packing places, and several Xue Zhuang cronies are in charge of mixing the medicine.

Xue Yun talked with Ji Tianen, and Ji Tianen made it clear that he wanted to stay in the Datong Army. Xue Yun also thought that Ji Tianen's nature was not bad, and he should be a person who could be saved. Xue Yun expanded the strength of Li Xiaoyong, Yu Si, Lian Ba ​​Zong, and Ji Tianen to about 500 each.

On the third day, General Zhang's team arrived outside the gate of Qingyuan and set up camp outside the city.However, there was no sign of Yu Dacheng's return to Datong City, so Xue Yun had to send someone to urge him again, and sent someone to inform Miss Yu that he hoped that his father would put the overall situation first and return to Datong City as soon as possible to participate in the defense.

On the fourth day, a Mongolian cavalry finally entered the northeast of Datong Mansion. Miss Yu’s father, Counselor Yu Dacheng, appeared at the north gate of Datong Mansion with the father of Miss Yu. Yu Dacheng's large carts, small carts, backpacks, and towed objects were angry and funny, making Miss Yu, who was waiting on the tower together, very embarrassed. Think about something.
