The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 63 The Great Ming Hero
Zhang Jiayu heard the roar of artillery when he was far away.

He knew that King Chenzhou's team had brought cannons, so it is very likely that King Chenzhou's troops are still insisting!
He hurriedly led the crowd to the lower reaches of the Shuangchen River, but he saw the Yongning king who had arrived earlier standing in line, staring blankly at the battlefield in front of him.

"The king of Chenzhou is fighting Jianlu in front?" Zhang Jiayu couldn't care less about it, and said anxiously to Zhu Youmao, "Why doesn't Your Highness come forward to support?!"

Zhu Youmao tried his best to hide his surprise, and motioned towards the battlefield, "There's no need..."

Zhang Jiayu climbed up and looked far away, and saw the open ground nearly a mile away, full of military flags with blue background, sun and moon shining in the wind, and soldiers in dark green military uniforms.

On the north side, six or seven hundred cavalrymen of the Qing army were fleeing desperately, followed by a group of cavalrymen in shiny steel armor holding long swords.

From time to time, the light cavalry of the Dragon Guards would pass by, raise their short guns and fire a volley, then turn to the side to reload, and then wait for an opportunity to approach the guns again.

The cavalry of the Qing army was driven into a panic, and they wanted to turn around and fight back several times, but as soon as they were a little far away from the pursuers, the sound of artillery immediately sounded, and even a few people would be pierced by a "blood line" , corpses are everywhere.

Farther away was a green wall of people, chasing the obviously larger number of Qing soldiers in gray.From time to time, Qing captives who could not escape jumped into the river beside them.

Before Zhang Jiayu could decide whether to go to help the battle, Liu Bolu couldn't bear to get off his horse and beg for surrender.There were also a few of Gao Jinku's personal soldiers who wanted to resist stubbornly, but they were all strangled instantly by the heavy armored cavalry of the Ming army.

On the other side, the infantry brigade of the Dragon Guards chased the Qing army and ran for several miles. Almost all the soldiers of the Dragon Guards were complacent, so they still ran away with their legs and feet?It's not for nothing that I practice cross-country for ten miles the next day!
In the end, almost all the Qing army lost their strength and fell to the ground one by one, allowing the Ming army to encircle them.

Feng Junrui, who was the first to jump into the water, carried a rotten log, and finally floated to the other side surrounded by several soldiers who knew how to swim.But before he wrung out his clothes, a large Ming army surrounded him from nowhere.

Jie Chongxi secretly rejoiced that he didn't run away immediately when he saw the defeat of Wandutang on the other side, otherwise the battle exploits won for nothing would be gone.

Gao Jinku didn't expect that his tens of thousands of troops would be beaten up after only one encounter.Although most of these 1 people were mobs, the Ming army on the opposite side was only about a battalion, so how could they be defeated so quickly? !

But he didn't care about these things at the moment, and fled eastward with more than a thousand people from the Chinese army. Before he reached the Lufang River, the hussars of the Ming army chased after him.

At this time, the Qing army had become frightened. Before the hussars launched an attack, they jumped into the Lufang River and swam to the opposite bank desperately.

Gao Jinku ordered the guards to delay desperately, and was able to barely cross the river.When they got to the other side and collected the remnants, they found that there were only less than 400 people left.

The gunpowder smoke covering the battlefield has completely dissipated.

Looking at the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood in front of her, Zhu Linmi felt as if she was in a dream, repeating the words "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will die" back and forth in her mind.

However, among the dead bodies everywhere, most of them are traitors "Qing Xiejun" who are willing to be slaves of foreign invaders. Almost all of them have their hands covered with the blood of their compatriots, and it is not a pity to die.

A gust of wind blew by, and he seemed to wake up suddenly from a dream. In that dream, he commanded the Dragon Guard Army that he had built with his own hands, and killed tens of thousands of Qing troops in an instant like bereaved dogs.

He knew that he would have such a dream many times in the future, and the smell of blood that followed the wind would become more and more intense.He will lead the Dragon Guards to kill all the Qing captives, and use the piles of corpses of the enemy to pave a road to peace and prosperity for Ming Dynasty.

Only war can stop war!Zhu Linmi squeezed her fist hard, if that's the case, then come on!After fighting until every enemy of Ming Dynasty dared not say the word "war" again!

"Commander," Yu Xin's voice interrupted his thoughts, "the general statistics of the battle damage of the entire army have been obtained. 71 people were killed, 33 were seriously injured, and 96 were slightly injured."

Zhu Linmei sighed when she heard the words. These soldiers died heroically for the country, but they will never have the chance to see the day when Daming Rivers and Mountains will be restored.

He said solemnly: "Prepare their funeral well, and all officers must attend. In addition, the Dragon Guards will pay for the coffins to be sent back to everyone's hometown. Pensions will be issued immediately according to the system.

"Also, inform the Mission Office to promote these heroes who died for the country."

Yu Xin was stunned for a moment, the pension system of the Dragon Guards was already very generous - the seriously injured were divided into five to eight acres of fertile land, and continued to receive military pay for three to five years, and the imperial court gave them preferential treatment for life.The dead were divided into ten acres of fertile land, and their relatives continued to receive seven years of military pay and funeral expenses. The imperial court raised their heirs until they were 15 years old—but he still had to hold such a grand funeral and call the soldiers who died in battle heroes. expected.

To be honest, after such a big victory, the casualties were no more than a hundred people, which is almost negligible, Yu Xin thought to himself.In the end, he could only understand that His Highness loves soldiers like sons.In fact, he couldn't understand how much Zhu Linmi, as a modern person, valued the lives of his soldiers.

He saluted immediately: "Yes!"

"Your Highness is really amazing with soldiers, and I am really impressed!" Zhang Jiayu stepped forward, saluted Zhu Linmi, and said excitedly, "If His Highness hadn't turned the tide in today's battle, the consequences would have been disastrous!"

Zhu Youmao also came over from the side, wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak, so he had to stand there not far or near, looking a little embarrassed.

It took a while before he remembered, and ordered his subordinate Xie Zhiliang to bring someone to help clean up the battlefield, and strictly ordered that no spoils be moved.After all, this battle was basically fought by King Chen Zhou alone, so he really has no face to take this spoil.

Soon, Jie Chongxi escorted Feng Junrui to come from the other side, and also praised Zhu Linming.

It wasn't until dinner time that Wanji finally regrouped the disbanded troops, but only lost 600 people, most of whom were trampled to death by their own people.

He sent people to inquire again and again, and finally believed that the king of Chenzhou had repelled the Qing army, and rushed to join the Longwei army.

But Master Su Guansheng returned cautiously when it was getting dark, and there were only about [-] people left in his department.

"Commander sir."

Zhu Linmi was writing a eulogy for the fallen soldiers, and Yu Xin came to report with a booklet.

"In this battle, more than 11 prisoners were beheaded. More than [-] were drowned. More than [-] were captured. [-] officers below Feng Junrui and Liu Bolu were captured."

Yu Xin glanced at the brochure and continued: "A total of 830 military horses were seized. The military rations were 3000 shi. Silver and money were equivalent to 69 taels. [-] carts of other types of baggage.

"240 blunderbusses of various types were seized. More than [-] sets of lock armor and cotton armor of various types were seized, but [-]% of them were damaged. More than [-] rattan plates were seized, [-]% of which were damaged. Six types of knives and axes More than [-] pieces, [-] spears..."
