Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 311

After midnight, Lin Yi led an army of 7 troops to Shanhaiguan. At this time, fierce fighting was still going on in Shanhaiguan city.

Of course, these tens of thousands of horses can't be idle. Lin Yi commanded the troops to fight, but the battles of his tens of thousands of horses were all finishing work.

Because Hao Yaoqi and He Renlong's 3 cavalry are fighting in front of them, no one can beat them, and Lin Yi's 7 infantry will go there to make up the knife. See who is still alive, make up a knife or shoot a shot Those Dashun soldiers who surrendered helped to guard the prisoners, and those Tartars and traitors who knelt down and begged for mercy were verified and killed together.

That's what they do.

When the sky was gray and gloomy, the cavalry led by He Renlong and Hao Yaoqi chased for more than 20 miles. They didn't withdraw their troops and returned to Guancheng until the Tartars and traitors in front of them disappeared. They tossed another day and night. Only then did they feel tired and weary.

Hurry back to the city to rest the soldiers and horses, people have to eat and drink, and the horses have to be fed so that they can quickly recover their combat power.

In the early morning, Shanhaiguan has returned to quietness. From yesterday to now, this heavy pass city has experienced another baptism of blood and fire. I personally witnessed the confrontation of the four most powerful armies here.

From a piece of stone pass city to pass city of Shanhaiguan, the thirty or forty li long city wall winds like a giant dragon, all of which are battlefields. At this time, there are blood and corpses everywhere on the wall, inside and outside the Great Wall, broken flags and broken knives everywhere. , The strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of barbecue, exuded in the air, becoming strong and pungent.

It attracted the goshawks hovering and singing overhead, but the mountains of corpses stretching for dozens of miles below may have frightened these carnivorous birds. Rush into the sky, and then fly to the depths of the sea.

This fierce battle lasted for a whole day and night. The four most powerful armies successively invested more than 30 troops. According to the statistics after the war, the total casualties have exceeded 20.

Such a large-scale battle with such heavy casualties is rare in the world.

Wu Sangui's 5 troops ended up with not one out of ten, and the 11 army of the Manchu Tartars was reduced to just over 3 overnight.

Of course, the Dashun army suffered the most casualties. Li Zicheng's 10 troops were wiped out in one day. There are also generals Liu Zongmin, Lan Yingcheng, Bai Minghe, Dang Shousu, Liu Tichun and so on.

In the end, there were only more than 6000 Dashun soldiers who became Lin Yi's captives, including the wounded, including survivors such as Song Xiance and Gao Guiying.

The most serious consequence of this war is that the Dashun Army has since perished. From the founding of Xi'an, to the invasion of Beijing, and then being driven out of Beijing by Lin Yi, and the demise of the Shanhaiguan World War I, the Dashun regime has only existed. Eight or nine months.It is a few months shorter than in the original history. Of course, this is because Lin Yi's time travel partly changed the direction of history. In the long history of thousands of years, the Dashun regime can be regarded as a flash in the pan.

This war severely injured the vitality of the Manchu Tartars. The Manchurian Tartars, Mongolian Tartars, including Kong Youde’s Eight Banners of the Han people, suffered more than 7 casualties at once, including many princes of Baylor, such as Mongolian Ertai, Yang Guli, Gang Lin, and the big traitor Geng Zhongming and others were all killed in this battle.

Such heavy casualties can be said to be unprecedented since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.No wonder Dorgon, Hauge and Wu Sangui are not good at giving up!

This war also defeated the big traitor Wu Sangui. The 5 Guanning Army left him with only 5000 people, including the injured.

The final winner of this war is of course the Ming army. Ji Dong’s troops suffered the least casualties. According to statistics, there were only 900 people. In such a large-scale battle and such a grand battle scene, the casualties are so small that they can be ignored. up.

Because Ji Dong did not allow the Tartars and traitors to surrender at this station, too many people were killed. Cleaning the battlefield and burying the corpses was a big project.On the outside of the Great Wall, several large pits were dug, and all the more than 20 corpses were buried.

In addition to taking care of the loot, Lin Yi's 10 troops were busy for three days.The trophies obtained, belonging to the Dashun Army, the Manchu Tartars, and Wu Sangui, were added together, piled up like a mountain, countless, and dozens of thick books were written when they were put into the account.

Needless to say, gold and silver treasures, although Li Zicheng did not expect such a change when he left Beijing this time, but as the emperor of the Dashun Army, it is impossible to come out without gold and silver treasures and a large amount of food and grass supplies.In addition, Wu Sangui has guarded Shanhaiguan for so many years, including his father Wu Xiang, who first served as an official in Ningyuan and then Beijing. All the food and horses were given to Ji Dong.

The 10,000+ Tartars suffered such a disastrous defeat, and of course they had a lot of trophies. Their main things were war horses, swords and spears, etc.

In addition to the mountains of gold and silver treasures, countless grain and horses, etc., the biggest highlight of the spoils this time is that they got more than 300 red cannons, 200 from the Dashun Army and more than 100 from Wu Sangui at Shanhaiguan.

Some are broken and cannot be used anymore, and have to be repaired, and some can no longer be repaired. There are more than 260 red cannons that can be used directly.Including the red cannons that Ji Dong pulled over this time, together, the number of red cannons in Ji Dong's army is now close to 500.

It took four or five days of work just to take care of these trophies.During this period, someone repaired the city wall, and the bombed city gates and gaps in the city wall must be repaired in time, and then the blood stains inside and outside the city wall must be washed away with clean water to restore it to its original appearance.

In other words, five days after the end of the war, Ji Dong and the others were busy with these post-war matters.

Although these four or five days were dealing with post-war affairs, the generals under Lin Yi were exhausted, even more tired than fighting.

But Ji Dong also improved their lives, even if it was a small reward.

Of course, the casualty horses could not be thrown away. After skinning, they were divided into small pieces and stewed with horse meat. The 10 horses ate two full meals, which made the soldiers addicted to meat.

Next, it was time to deal with the captives. Lin Yi stayed in Wu Sangui's former Grand Marshal's Mansion in Shanhaiguan, and invited Song Xiance over.

Song Xiance saw Lin Yi knelt down and saluted, Lin Yi smiled and said: "Sir, please forgive me, Lin has something unclear, please ask for advice in person."

Song Xiance, who had just stood up, quickly bowed and responded when he heard this: "I don't dare to be the grand master, please tell me if you have something to say, why ask for advice?"

"Mr. Lin has heard of Mr. Ming's name. Mr. is very talented, knowledgeable and talented. He has the ambition to control the world and the country. He is able to understand the secrets of heaven and use soldiers like a god. Therefore, Li Zicheng regards Mr. as a god-man, and Mr. is not that kind. The utilitarian villain who disobeys the Lord and seeks glory is also loyal to Li Zicheng. What Lin Yi doesn't understand is why Mr. Song surrendered this time?"

Song Xiance's little black face flushed slightly, and he grinned to reveal his big white teeth, making his face even darker, just like the sketch actor Song Xiaobao.

"The grand master is really absurd. Song Mouzhi was just playing tricks in front of the grand master, but what the grand master said is correct. I, Song Xiance, are indeed loyal to Li Zicheng and Dashun. This is because my subordinate Zeng Yeguan The celestial phenomena, the Eighteen Sons warned that Li Zicheng is the Allah, but the sky has been tragic recently, it seems that the Allah has someone else, and the will of God cannot be violated, Song Mou turned to the light."

At this point, Song Xiance clasped his fists with both hands and swept the floor with a bow, and said to Lin Yi: "Song was late in surrendering, please forgive me in person."

Lin Yi laughed loudly, "Hahaha, sir, you are right, so you don't need to be polite. My husband is no less than Liu Bei's Kongming, and Daming's. It's like a dead tree and it's spring again. Let me be a counselor for Lin Yi first."

Song Xiance was flattered: "Song Mou is lucky to be able to serve the Grand Master, so why talk about being wronged?"

In this chaotic world, one strategist is better than a thousand horses and an army.Lin Yi was very happy, having won such a big victory again, and immediately issued an order to reward the three armies. The whole army congratulated on the 3rd day. These three days were really joyous, like a festival, slaughtering cattle and sheep, and feasting on wine.

Lin Yi's life is even more nourishing, Xiaoying and Zhezhe are by his side, the beauties of the women's camp, there are Han girls, and Mongolian beauties, singing and dancing.

Soon under Song Xiance's planning, Gao Guiying also bowed in front of Lin Yi.

Now that her injuries have been treated in the past few days, she is basically fine. Lin Yi named her the deputy general of the women's battalion, second only to Xiaoying and Zhe Zhe among the hundreds of women battalion soldiers.

Thank you very much Gao Guiying.

Next, all the more than 6000 Dashun soldiers surrendered and accepted Ji Dong's reorganization. Except for those who were injured and needed medical treatment, none of them were willing to leave. Ji Yi organized them all into the Ming army.

The 6000 troops disrupted the original establishment, some were incorporated into Lin Yi's direct line troops, some were incorporated into Ma Shiying's Fengyang Army, and some were incorporated into Yuan Shu's Henan Army.

In order to appease Gao Guiying and Song Xiance and other old troops of the Dashun Army, Lin Yi ordered Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin to be buried generously.

On the day of the burial, Gao Guiying fell down in front of Li Zicheng's grave in mourning and sackcloth. After all, they were a husband and wife who had been through life and death. They had fought together for so many years. comfort his soul.

After these things were over, Li Zicheng thought of Li Yan, Gao Yigong and others who were prisoners of war in the capital.

Song Xiance's little black face smiled, showing his big white teeth, "Don't worry, Grand Master, leave this matter to General Gao Guiying, and make sure they all come to surrender to Grand Master."

Lin Yi couldn't help but nodded, and called Gao Guiying, and Gao Guiying agreed.

Lin Yi loves talent, not money, but talent. Li Yan, Gao Yigong, Liu Fangliang, Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu are all elites in the Dashun Army. Of course Lin Yi is reluctant to kill them.

The Ming Dynasty is currently short of manpower, and it would be best to let them work for the Ming Dynasty to deal with the Tartars and traitors. This is to make the best use of their talents.

Seeing Song Xiance and Gao Guiying express their views like this, Lin Yi let go of a stone in his heart.

Next, Lin Yi proposed to attack Ningyuan and Jinzhou. The Manchu Qing Tartars had been making trouble for years, causing trouble for Ming Dynasty. Now Lin Yi looked at his own strength and decided to send troops directly outside the pass to eradicate border troubles once and for all.

On this day, Lin Yi, Song Xiance, Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Gao Guiying and others were discussing the military situation. Suddenly someone came to report that a large number of Qing troops rushed to Shanhaiguan.

Lin Yi slapped the table and suddenly said, "Good job, I won't save Grand Master from looking for them!"
