Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 193 Bloody Battle in Shigou Ningxiaping (6)

The army was defeated like a mountain, and the thousands of Mongolian soldiers who fought against the main force outside the army line were originally chased by the Ming army, and they all fled back into the large formation of their own army in panic.If at this time, their own army came out to respond, they would not be so embarrassed.

However, when they saw the large flag of the Chinese army on their side, for some reason, they had set up their camp and fled to the north.
Obtaining the greatest military achievements is when chasing and defeating the enemy. Of course, Huang Laifu and Ma Gui will not let go of such a good opportunity.The two of them discussed for a while, and then they made a decision to pursue the enemy all the way.

At the moment, Ma Gui left thousands of infantry to clean up the battlefield, as well as the artillery vehicles and gunners from Gansu Town.After cleaning the battlefield, they also hid in Shigou City to wait for the army to return.

In the battle just now, Shigou City's general manager Yang Jianren and the Ming army were all stunned on the city. Hearing Huang Laifu and Ma Gui's orders, they naturally nodded their heads.

At present, more than 1000 horsemen and cavalry from the Magui tribe, Huang Laifu's [-] horsemen, and his [-] mounted infantry all rode together in pursuit.In order to facilitate long-distance pursuit of the enemy, Huang Laifu's three hundred servants also took off the vests of their horses, and each of them only wore light armor.At present, the cavalry are in front, each holding bird guns, three-eyed guns, or various weapons, and they also use horses to carry tiger squatting guns, and the baggage team follows closely behind.

Chasing all the way like this, the Ming army followed closely behind those Mongolian deserters.When the Mongolian soldiers were about to stop and regroup, they roared up and chased them down, making them unable to form a formation to meet the enemy. They repeated this several times, and they became even more panicked and chaotic when they were fighting in the front line, leaving behind countless pack horses along the way.However, the Ming army remained unmoved, and just let their own supply team take care of them, and the cavalry in the brigade still pursued them all the way.

In this way, they have been pursuing from Shigou City to Shapaikou of Huamachi, where Gong Zijing, a guerrilla in Gansu Town, has already led 800 Miao soldiers to block here.There is also Dong Yiyuan, who has returned from victory. He has led thousands of troops and entered the city of Huamachi.

There was an intercepting enemy in front, and chasing soldiers in the back. The Mongolian soldiers who fought against Zheng were even more flustered, and all of them looked desperate.At this time, they had discarded their helmets and armor, and their pack horses had been completely abandoned, and everyone was extremely embarrassed.What's even more frightening is that none of these thousands of Mongolian soldiers has the slightest fighting spirit.

There was no suspense in the battle, and the Mongolian soldiers collapsed at the first touch. In addition to fighting rightly, more than 2000 remnants fled back to the grassland, leaving more than 200 corpses of Mongolians under Huamachi City, and more than 800 Mongolians were captured. Get countless pack horses.

In this way, Dazheng led 5000 Mongolian soldiers into the bandits, killed and injured 1000 people under Shigou City, lost [-] people under Huamachi City, and more than [-] people were missing. It can be said to be a big defeat.Hitting the Zhengbu was seriously debilitating, and on the grassland where the weak and the strong preyed on the strong, they were soon annexed by others, and the entire tribe dissipated in the wind and sand.

The Ming army was victorious, and the entire Huamachi City was full of joy and laughter. Whether it was the common people, military households or soldiers and generals in the city, everyone came out to welcome the Magui and Huanglaifu tribes, and watched the captured Mongolian soldiers.

Among the welcoming crowd, there were naturally Gansu town guerrilla Gong Zijing and general Dong Yiyuan. Both of them were smiling, especially Dong Yiyuan, who was in a happy mood.This time he led the army to destroy the camp of the Hetao Department and returned with great victory.This generous military reward is definitely unavoidable.Not to mention, this time they defeated the Mongolian soldiers again in Huamachi City, and they were tied for several achievements.

Seeing Gong Zijing, Huang Laifu felt a little emotional. In the original history, he fought against the Dazhengbu who had fled back in a panic, and died in the battle at Huamachi City. Perhaps history has changed at this time, and he is still alive and well.

After entering the city, greetings were unavoidable, but during the distribution of military leaders, Huang Laifu drank tea calmly, while Ma Gui had a blushing and thick neck with Gong Zijing and Dong Yiyuan. , but how to divide the heads of more than 200 Mongolian soldiers hacked to death under the city is a problem.And for a bloody battle, there are only more than 200 heads, which is indeed a little less.

Huang Laifu suggested, didn't they capture [-] Mongolian soldiers?Beheading them all, isn't there too many heads?

When Huang Laifu said this, not to mention Ma Gui, even Gong Zijing and Dong Yiyuan were stunned.

After a while, Dong Yiyuan said in a trembling voice: "General Huang,... this, killing prisoners is ominous."

Huang Laifu said coldly: "The Hulu invaded my Daming, so it should have ended like this!"

The result of the final discussion was that 800 people were found to offer prisoners, and the remaining [-] Mongolian soldiers were all killed.

The next day, outside Huamachi City, the entire Huamachi City was mobilized, and there was a huge crowd of people watching.

Under a hill, [-] captured Mongolian soldiers knelt on the ground, and everyone was tied up. While they were struggling and howling, they were held to the ground one by one, and [-] soldiers from Wuzhai Fort took the knife. , beheaded them one by one, cut off a lot of steel knives, and then chopped off all the heads.

The strong smell of blood made people want to vomit, regardless of the military or the civilians, the onlookers all looked pale. Huang Laifu just watched calmly with far-reaching eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Those Mongolian soldiers screamed one after another, and suddenly Huang Laifu burst into laughter. Under the strange eyes of everyone, he shouted loudly: "I like this passionate era, yes, I like it!"

When the Ming army returned from a great victory, Governor Ye Mengxiong, Governor Zhu Zhengse, Army Supervisor Mei Guozhen and others were naturally overjoyed, and rewards for meritorious deeds were naturally inevitable.When Huang Laifu and others returned, they had already divided up the luggage and so on.

Huang Laifu got [-] horses, which was the result of Ma Gui and others’ concessions. Compared with horses, they were more willing to ask for heads, because even if they had horses, they would not be able to support them. Huang Laifu did not have this problem. Wuzhaibao caravans came continuously, bringing him sufficient food and fodder.

Regarding the heads, more than 5000 were beheaded this time, and Huang Laifu got [-] heads, which is a huge gain.Ma Gui also got [-] heads, and he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.Gong Zijing was overjoyed to get a thousand heads.There is also Dong Yiyuan, who was under the city of Huamachi, who got a thousand heads, and the three thousand heads he got outside the Great Wall, which can be regarded as the most lucrative income.

After this battle, Huang Laifu's reputation spread far and wide, and he was known as the brave general of the Ming Dynasty, second only to Li Rusong's reputation, and even Ma Gui thought he was not as good as him.Not to mention the pride of the soldiers in their own army, even the Wuzhaibao caravan who came with them are all proud. Their own army is invincible, and everyone has strengthened their determination to cooperate with Huang Laifu.

However, while envious and jealous of everyone's military achievements, after hearing that Huang Laifu killed thousands of Mongolian captives, all the generals in Ningxia were in a strange mood. Huang Laifu's reputation for being cruel was not only for the Mongols on the grassland, but also for the Ming army in the city. They also have a clear impression.Governor Ye Mengxiong and others also got to know Huang Laifu again.Regarding Huang Laifu's approach, they didn't know what to say, so they could only pretend that they didn't know, and walked away in silence.

This time, Ma Gui, Huang Laifu and others fought against Dazhengbu, won a complete victory, and captured [-] Mongolian soldiers. Governor Ye Mengxiong not only reported the victory quickly, but also asked the court what to do with these prisoners, whether they should be escorted to the capital?
Soon after, Emperor Wanli issued a decree. In the decree, Emperor Wanli was very happy. In addition to greatly complimenting Ye Mengxiong and other civil servants, as well as meritorious soldiers, he also gave instructions to behead all the [-] captured Mongolian soldiers as a warning to them. Kou!

Ye Mengxiong is not a soft-hearted person. On the day he got the order, he took all the eight hundred Mongolian captives to the city of Ningxia and beheaded them one by one. This made the rebels in the city even more frightened and desperate after seeing it. .

After facing the Mongolian soldiers who came to help, the flood under the city of Ningxia continued to pour.

From July 21st to the [-]th, the water depth outside the city had reached as much as eight feet, and the four sides of Ningxia City had been flooded to tens of feet.

On the night of the thirtieth day, Qiaobai dispatched more than a hundred rebels to come out in small boats at night, intending to dig embankments to release water.However, their intentions were exposed, Li Rusong and Liu Chengsi sent servants to capture the 500th-rank rebels who had slashed out of the city, and one of them was captured alive.This person said that there was a shortage of food in the city, and the soldiers were killing horses. There were only more than [-] horses left in the city, and the people in the city could only eat bark, and people died every day.

On August [-]st, Emperor Wanli issued a decree to report the war in the army every five days.On this day, Wu Shixian, the general guard, and Shen Lai Baosuo's dike collapsed by [-] feet each, and the water level dropped.Wei Xuezeng was still in the criminal army, angrily beheaded Wu Shixian as a favoritism, and came to protect Lingzhou because of his meritorious service, and still ordered him to do his best to repair the embankment.

On August 400, [-] rebels in the city came out of the city to disturb the Ming army to repair the embankment. Governor Ye Mengxiong hurriedly dispatched troops to fight back, and most of them were captured.At this time, the city has been besieged for a long time, and the people's hearts are seeking peace, and the people in the city hope to call for safety.Xiaobai said that the imperial court has iron coupons to recruit security, but the imperial army outside the city is not allowed, intending to kill all the people in the city.The people in the city believed it was true, and they were all very angry.

On August [-]th, after hearing the rumors in the city, Mei Guozhen, the supervising army, shot into the call with a strong bow and told the rebels in the city that if they wanted to appease them, they had to report the number of hungry people in the city first, so that the army under the city would prepare food, Three days after the city received the proclamation, it was switched on and off to welcome the Chinese army into the city for relief, or let the hungry people in the city go out to receive relief.Three days later, when Qianbai did not reply to the message, Mei Guozhen was furious, thinking that Qianbai was the one who wanted to starve the whole city to death.

On August [-]th, Emperor Wanli's imperial edict arrived, and a group of Jinyi guards who came with him arrested Wei Xuezeng and went to Beijing for interrogation for the crime of humiliating the country.The above said: "Creating chaos and damaging the army, delaying for a long time, causing thieves to lure captives into the invasion, crippling the people, cutting off the road, are all the faults of the former governor Wei Xuezeng, and ordered Jin Yiwei to come to Beijing to investigate."

When Wei Xuezeng left, Ye Mengxiong and other civil officials went to see him off.Mei Guozhen also went to see off Wei Xuezeng, the governor and the army supervisor. They had been on the same battlefield for almost two months, and it was only at this time that they met for the first time, and before that it was just a correspondence.

On August [-], Qi Bai sent his confidant Liu Yuan to the Hetao Department to ask for help from the Mongolian Shunyi King Li Ke in Hetao.

On August 21, Li Ke led more than 1 Mongolian soldiers to come to aid Xibai!
