Chapter 63 Victory
Although Luo Li made a counterattack, he was not confused because of victory. After leading the army to chase and kill for a while, after expelling a large number of Jiannu soldiers from Guancheng, he saw two battalions of Jiannu cavalry trying to intercept them, so he took the initiative to give up the pursuit. After showing off his strength outside the customs, he shook. The leader slowly retreated back to the city of Xiluo.
And Azig and Duoduo saw that the criminal thief was so arrogant, but they also knew that their morale was extremely low. After receiving the defeated soldiers and horses, they did not dare to make any offensive action against the pursuers led by Luo Li, but pulled the reins from afar and looked at Luo. After leading the soldiers to show off their force in front of them, they slowly retreated to the city of Silo, and then they led their troops back to their camp dejectedly.
The loser on the battlefield has no right to clean up the battlefield. The control of the battlefield only belongs to the victorious party. Therefore, as the loser, it is a theorem that the loss far exceeds the victorious side. The Jiannu was defeated and did not dare to let go again, so he fled back with his tail between his tail. A large number of wounded soldiers and slaves were lost. At the same time, a large number of siege equipment such as rovers, cloud ladders, goose carts, trenches and other siege equipment were abandoned, as well as some artillery, weapons, armor, etc. In short, the Jiannu army was defeated too badly this time. Almost half of everything that came out was lost to the Dazhong army.
When Luo Li led his troops to retreat, of course, he would not be polite. Seeing that it was getting late, he led his troops to sit in the town and shut down and transferred soldiers and a large number of soldiers overnight. Even a large number of Ming troops under Wu Xiang's command came out and began to use torches to clean the battlefield. They set fire and destroyed all the abandoned by Jiannu on the battlefield. Those siege instruments collected weapons, armor, artillery and other things and transported them back to the customs. The soldiers cut off the heads of the corpses of the Jiannu soldiers outside the customs. The slightly injured Jiannu stripped them off and tied them back, and the seriously injured were treated as corpses and chopped off their heads directly.
As for the side of the Jiannu army, although Dornon gritted his teeth and watched the Dazhong army cleaning the battlefield from afar, he did not dare to ask his generals to fight and send them to attack and disturb the actions of the Dazhong army to clean the battlefield. He was really afraid. The Dazhong army had a lot of tricks and could fight and kill. He could no longer stand it. He failed. In today's World War I, he almost exhausted his strength and could no longer afford the loss. Now only those who can fight are him and Duoduo, the 20,000 generals of the two white flags. If they lose again, the status of their three brothers in the Qing Dynasty will be completely finished, so he can only stare like this and look at the big The Chinese army is showing off its power, but it dares not provoke them again.
Throughout the night, all kinds of attack tools finally created by the Jiannu in the battlefield outside Guan were burning fiercely, like huge torches, illuminating the outside of Shanhaiguan. A large number of large and medium-sized generals, as well as the soldiers who helped the soldiers and the Ming army generals of Shanhaiguan walked back and forth on the battlefield. On the one hand, The screams of the Jiannu wounded soldiers on the verge of death kept coming, but on the other hand, it was the laughter of the winners.
Wu Xiang was completely convinced. It can be said that he was convinced of the generals of the Dazhong Army. He knew after the fact that Yan Chongxi had been injured and withdrew from the battlefield soon after the start of the war. It was Luo Li who came here who commanded this battle, so he had to be amazed that these generals of the Dazhong Army, One is more difficult to provoke than the other. In his eyes, Yan Chongxi and Wang Chengping are already very powerful. Now there is a general surnamed Luo, but he is no worse than them. He doesn't want to fight, and he is also "good at using tricks" to take the initiative to give up Xiluo City as a trap, and kills more than 2,000 slave soldiers at once. If such credit If you put it on them, it must be a peerless achievement. Over the years, the Ming army has rarely had a great victory in the battle against Jiannu. There are only a few achievements above 100 levels of beheading. More than 100 levels is a great victory. Beheading dozens of levels is also a great victory. Many Ming generals have basically only a dozen so-called successes. Even a few Jiannu's heads, at best, led the troops with super-super-super-superiored troops, surrounded some Jiannu who had drunk after looting, killed several Jiannu who had drunk a lot, and then brazenly and happily reported the victory to Shangfeng.
Look at the large and medium-sized army coming here. These days, the Jiannu army killed under the gate has at least 10,000, but these large and medium-sized army generals don't seem to think so, and they don't take it seriously at all, which makes many Ming soldiers and generals really ashamed. At the extreme, how can Wu Xiang look down on the generals of the Dazhong army?
After a night of cleaning the battlefield, the results of the battle were quickly counted. After this day's fierce battle, the Dazhong Army and the Ming Army "jointly" killed nearly 5,000 slaves and captured nearly 1,000 slaves. This is not counting the number of dead and injured slaves who were taken back by Jiannu at the beginning, if the number of those slaves is added. By the saying, Dorgon's day, the lost soldiers and horses approached about 10,000.
The defenders lost less than 1,000 people, of whom more than 400 were killed in the battle, and the rest were injured, most of whom were slightly injured. After proper treatment, many people can quickly return to the team. These wounded who returned to the team will undoubtedly become tough soldiers and absolute backbones in the army in the future, so it is said that It's not too much to be a great victory. They still don't know that after this battle, they actually killed Liu Zhiyuan, the owner of the Yellow Flag of the Han Army, the Blue Flag of the Han Army, and the Red Flag of the Han Army. If they knew that they had killed these enemy generals, they didn't know what to do. How happy!
It was not until two or three days later that they learned from the prisoners that they not only killed so many slaves, but also killed a slave flag owner and two deputy flag owners. Luo Li's mouth was tilted to his ears.
After this battle, Wu Xiang, Luo Li and others decided that in a short period of time, Jiannu was unable to launch a new large-scale offensive against Shanhaiguan. Next, they waited for Huang Taiji to lead the troops in person, so in a short period of time, Shanhaiguan was in a safe state.
For this great victory, the soldiers and civilians around Shanhaiguan were all overjoyed and rushed to celebrate. The news flew in all directions like wings.
However, the loss of the army in this battle is not light, and the consumption of ammunition and materials is very large. More than a dozen of various types of artillery were scrapped, and the ammunition base was consumed one and a half. In addition, the biggest loss was Yan Chongxi's injury. Although Yan Chongxi was not directly hit by the gun, his head was hit by a flying stone, and the injury was also very serious. After being rescued, he was in a coma for two days before he gradually woke up, and with severe vomiting and headache, it was obviously a serious concussion. He could no longer command the battle in a short time. However, Yan Chongxi woke up and regained his mind slightly, so he immediately inquired about the situation of the war and learned that they had won the great victory. After that, he was relieved and handed over the soldiers of the first town army under his command to the temporary commander Luo Li. After the explanation, he was sent to Yongping Mansion for healing.
After this battle, the special person also made a suggestion to Luo Li. He asked Luo Li to divide a batch from the captured Jiannu head and give it to Wu Xiang. This is not a credit for Wu Xiang's division in the Dazhong Dynasty. The main thing is to let Wu Xiang fool the Ming emperor Zhu Youjian on the side of the capital. Use.
For the heads of these Jiannu, Luo Li is not rare! From the beginning, Xing Tianjun did not judge meritorious deeds by people's heads, but a free method of meritorious deeds, so he would not appear on the battlefield to grab people's heads, which would eventually lead to failure, nor would he compete with each other for the enemy's heads, and there would be any internal contradictions.
Now they are asked to allocate a group of Jiannu's heads to Wu Xiang to fool the Ming Emperor Zhu Youjian. Luo Licai doesn't care! So even if he allocated 2,000 heads to Wu Xiang, he asked Wu Xiang to use them for business.
For the remaining cut-off Tarot heads, Luo Li simply ordered to build a Beijing view with them under the customs to humiliate and deter the slaves.
Wu Xiang was very grateful to the Dazhong Army for considering the safety of his family. After claiming to thank him, he ordered to send people to load the heads of these slave soldiers in a big car and immediately transported them to the Beijing Division, so as to praise Zhu You. These heads of the heads of these soldiers were all solid soldiers, although most of them were The head of the Han soldiers of Jiannu's Han army, but these Han soldiers have also shaved their hair, leaving the tail of the Tatar's money rat, which is still the head of the Tatar soldiers. Once it is transported into the capital, it is expected that the government and the government of the capital will suddenly cause a shock. Daming has rarely won so many Tatars heads at one time to Jiannu for so many years. Wu With this group of people's heads, I'm afraid Xiang can be regarded as the first general of Daming at the present.
Not long after the defenders achieved such a great victory in Shanhaiguan, news also came from the area around Xifengkou. Zhou Yuji led his troops to really block another group of Jiannu at Xifengkou, and also killed a lot of enemies at Xifengkou, forcing Abatai and Hauge to give up attacking Xifengkou and turn around to find the next breakthrough. However, when the news came, the person who reported the message also sent the news that Zhou Yuji died in the mouth of Xifeng. This news not only made people sigh, on the one hand, it admired Zhou Yuji's loyalty, and on the other hand, it sighed about the power of Jiannu.
The news from these two places can almost be said to have spread to the capital of the Ming Dynasty at the same time. The government and the opposition in the capital were originally in an extreme panic and despair. After learning of these two news, the people's hearts could not help but be greatly boosted. Many people in the capital rushed to celebrate and recited these two great victories. Even Zhu Youjian, who was already as dead ashes in his heart, couldn't help but be refreshed after hearing these two news. Even when he went to the Tai Temple, he burned incense and kowtowed, comforted the spirits of his ancestors in heaven, claiming that although he, an unworthy descendant, did not govern the world well, he recently won a great victory and be killed. There were countless slaves. At this time, in the Ming court, the civil and military officials had long stopped telling the truth to Zhu Youjian. They knew that the Ming Dynasty was almost over. At this time, they were picking a good word. It was probably sympathy for Zhu Youjian, or self-comfort. In short, according to Wu Xiang, they all said that this Shanhaiguan victory was Wu Xiang. Zhu Youjian was no longer able to distinguish the true from the false. Under the influence of his inner self-esteem, he also blinded his head and simply selectively believed that this matter was true. He even said to the servant that with Wu Xiang in the Ming Dynasty, maybe he could be revived, but this was just the wishful thinking of a small group of them. It is.
However, the version of folklore is different from what Zhu Youjian heard. I don't know how to do it. Some people describe the details of the battle of Shanhaiguan in detail, praising the bravery of the Dazhong army, saying that although Wu Xiang's contribution is not small, she mainly relies on other people's Dazhong army to fight. Some people also vividly described the tragic situation of the war that day, as if they were immersive.
The people of the people are not all fools. They have a wider channel to hear gossip. Among all kinds of messy information, they will make their own analysis. The people of the Ming Dynasty all know what the level of the Ming army is. For so many years, even if the Guanning Army is in Ding In his heyday, he had never fought such a beautiful victory. Up to this day, the Ming Dynasty has long been a thin Xishan. Wu Xiang has been a general who has been degraded for many years and lived idle at home. Now there is really no one in the court, which made him come back to Zhenshan Customs. With his means, when the Ming army was strong, Wu Xiang was still strong. It is impossible for the fugitive general to make such a great victory against the army of Jiannu, which is far more than several times theirs.
Therefore, if you want to analyze it a little, you can get such a conclusion, that is, this great victory in Shanhaiguan was not fought by Wu Xiang at all, but by the Dazhong army that is now in the area of Shanhaiguan with Wu Xiang. Some officials who don't know the current affairs scoffed at this matter and wrote to Zhu Youjian to refute Wu Xiang this time. For the great victory of Shanhaiguan, he directly denounced Wu Xiang for stealing the credit of the Dazhong army. In fact, Wu Xiang had already secretly colluded with the Dazhong Dynasty. He asked Zhu Youjian to stop Wu Xiang's position as the general soldier of Shanhaiguan and send someone to arrest him back to the capital to discuss the crime.
But the words of these eyeless officials are also farting at all. Now the court has basically lost control of places outside the capital, and its ability to control the army has also been extremely weak. Whether Wu Xiang is taking credit this time or not, he is now a man with heavy soldiers, and he is no longer the court. People who can move easily.
Some people will think that Wu Xiang and his family members are hostage in the capital. They can use Wu Xiang's family members to control him, but the court is completely a rat taboo at this time, and there are no available soldiers on hand. No matter what the truth on Wu Xiang's side is, the court dares not easily move Wu Xiang at this time. After all, Wu Xiang is now bright. It is also under the banner of the Ming Dynasty. Once Wu Xiang is forced, he can surrender to the Dazhong Dynasty at any time. Now Wu Xiang can more or less save face for the court. Once he is provoked, the last piece of the court will probably be stripped off, so Zhu Youjian only regarded these words of these officials at this time. Farting, he not only did not dare to touch Wu Xiang, but also sent someone to send some rewards to his family in Wu Xiang's house to show that he actually trusted Wu Xiang very much. He hoped that Wu Xiang could lead the army to guard the Shanhaiguan and not to surrender to the Chinese and North Korea. He was grateful.
