Chapter 711 The Battle of Hetao 9.4k Big Chapter Monthly Pass

Chapter 711 Battle of Hetao (9.4k big chapter, please subscribe, please vote monthly)

After Xuantong was sent away, Obai sat back in his seat.

Several Goshiha came forward to straighten the table, and then brought wine to Obai.

Obai picked up a jar of wine and poured it into his mouth.

He doesn't want to think about anything now, he just wants to get drunk.

Obai drank the wine in large gulps, and the wine entered his throat, which relieved his original depressed mood.

But no matter how much Oboi drank, he could not change the current predicament that the Manchus were facing!

The outer city of the capital only held out for one day before the city was declared broken. How long could the inner city hold on?

Today the Ming army stopped its offensive. It is already late and the Ming army also needs to repair.

When tomorrow dawns, if the Ming army continues to attack the capital, the capital will definitely be in danger.



Shanhaiguan!

As the most important pass that separates the inner and outer customs, Shanhaiguan is also known as the first pass in the world.

Because it is surrounded by mountains and the sea, and is connected to Yanshan Mountain in the north and the Bohai Sea in the south, it is called Shanhaiguan.

It was first built by Xu Da under the instruction of Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.

Shanhaiguan, which was originally well-defended and known as the first pass in the world, was greatly reinforced again after the rise of the Donglu in the late Ming Dynasty.

It is not an exaggeration to even say that Shanhaiguan is the most important fulcrum of the Guanningjin Defense Line built by the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty's millions of Liao salaries every year, a considerable proportion of which were used to strengthen Shanhaiguan.

Now that the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are about to withdraw from the customs, the direction of Shanhaiguan cannot be ignored.

Today, this majestic first pass in the world is regarded by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties as a bridgehead that hinders the Ming army from leaving the pass!

The civil war in Guanzhong is tense, and Beizhi is worried about the situation.

In order to ensure the security outside the customs, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties sent additional troops from outside the customs to Shanhaiguan.

He also dispatched veteran Prince An Yue Le to take full charge of Shanhaiguan and the specific matters of the Liaoxi defense line.

Yue Legao was sitting on the festival hall in Shanhaiguan, looking at the battle report coming from the direction of the capital in Shanhaiguan, his expression was quite ugly.

Zhao Liangdong of Baoding surrendered, Mingfu of Tianjin died in battle, and Ao Bai was trapped in the capital...

The war situation within the pass is deteriorating little by little!

According to Yue Le's estimation, the capital will be defeated within ten days and a half at most.

At that time, Shanhaiguan will become the bridgehead to resist the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition.

However, Yue Le does not have much confidence in the Shanhaiguan defense line.

Yue Le felt that if the Ming thieves launched a large-scale Northern Expedition, Shanhaiguan would not be able to withstand it. Once Shanhaiguan was broken, the Western Liaoning Corridor would not be protected.

If the Western Liaoning Corridor is not protected, there will be danger outside the Pass!

Yue Le is now full of pessimism, because he doesn't know where the future of the Qing Dynasty lies?

When the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was defeated and driven out of the country, the reason why the Bei Yuan Dynasty was able to escape to Mobei was because they themselves were Mongols, and the Great Khan of the Bei Yuan Dynasty was a descendant of the Golden Family.

Even if they were defeated and fled to the grassland, they still had great appeal on the grassland with the blood of the Golden Family.

Because at that time, the grassland only recognized the golden family!

But what about the Manchu and Qing Dynasties?

The Manchus were not Mongols, but Jurchens.

Moreover, his Aixinjueluo family claimed to be descendants of the Jin Kingdom, but there was no bloodline from the so-called Golden Family.

Escape to the grassland will definitely not work!

And the living conditions among the white mountains and black waters are really too difficult.

Once they fled to the white mountains and black waters, the ruling order of the Qing Dynasty could not be maintained at all.

Because fishing and hunting may be able to maintain the survival of a tribe of dozens or hundreds of people.

But it is absolutely impossible to maintain the existence of a political power with tens of thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people.

Because, in order to form a political power, people must live together.

But once more people gather, the surrounding prey and fisheries can no longer feed so many people.

If you choose to disperse the people, wouldn't that give the Ming Dynasty's Northern Expedition troops a chance to defeat them one by one?

In order to maintain their political power, the nomads on the grasslands can follow their flocks of sheep.

Do they, the Jurchens, a nation of fishermen and hunters, also want people to follow their prey everywhere?

It can't be done!

As for farming?

You can try it in the undeveloped Beidahuang planting land.

I won’t starve you to death!

Beidahuang, but after the development of machinery, it became Beidacang.

Therefore, Prince An Yue Le fell into deep confusion because he could not see the future of the Qing Dynasty.

Even now Yue Le is beginning to question whether Dorgon's decision to lead the main force of the Qing Dynasty to enter the customs was correct.

Because in his opinion, if the Qing Dynasty had not entered the Pass, the Central Plains would have been a mess because of the fighting between the invaders and the Ming thieves.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty will be able to strengthen itself and maintain the pressure of the Qing Dynasty on the Central Plains by continuously entering the customs and plundering the northern part of the capital as it did in the Chongzhen year.

Even by constantly sucking the blood of the Central Plains Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty developed and grew little by little and maintained the Qing Dynasty's regime.

Moreover, since the Qing Dynasty was still outside the customs and faced greater external threats, it was also ensured that the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty would not decline so sharply.

Instead of what it is like now, the Qing Dynasty was really happy after entering the country, and the autumn wind swept away the whole world like falling leaves.

But it was only a happy twenty years!

During these twenty years, the Eight Banners indeed enjoyed the glory and wealth of the Central Plains.

But what are the consequences?

The consequence is that the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners soldiers has declined drastically, and the blood of the Eight Banners is about to be lost in the pass.

What’s even more frightening is that as long as the Ming rebels launch a northern expedition, the Qing Dynasty will face the danger of national subjugation and annihilation!

I regret my mistake, I really regret my mistake!

Yue Le closed the battle report in his hand, exhaled heavily, and then gave instructions to the soldier beside him, Geshiha.

"Send someone to Shengjing to report to the Queen Mother and the Emperor!"

"Let's just say... the civil war situation in Shanhaiguan is critical, and the capital may fall at any time. I will try my best to ensure that Shanhaiguan is not lost."

"But Shengjing must also make preparations in advance!"

"..."

As for what to prepare?

Of course, Shanhaiguan was lost, the Liaoxi Corridor defense line completely collapsed, and the Ming army was ready to threaten Shengjing.

Geshiha knelt down and kowtowed, responded with a chirp, then turned and left.

Later, Yue Le's son Yue Duan went out to seek an audience.

Yue Le did not hesitate and ordered someone to invite Yue Duan in.

After Yue Duan entered the festival hall, he knelt down in front of Yue Le and spoke.

"Amma, the civil war in the Guan Dynasty is tense. Ao Shaobao is trapped in the capital. My son asked for orders to lead troops to rescue the capital and coordinate the withdrawal of the Eight Banners soldiers from the capital."

After Yue Duan finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily in front of Yue Le.

His head hit the ground, making a muffled sound.

There are still thousands of Eight Banners soldiers in the capital city. If they don't save them, the last of these thousands of Eight Banners will be annihilated by the Ming army.

This is simply unacceptable to the Qing Dynasty, which is already in urgent need of Eight Banners soldiers!

In the current Qing Dynasty, the total number of Eight Banners soldiers is only over 20,000.

This was the result of the Qing Dynasty going to the White Mountains and Black Waters to capture many unborn Jurchens to supplement the shortage of troops.

Otherwise, the Manchu Qing's troop shortage will only become more serious.

Among them, there are not many men from the Jianzhou Jurchen Department.

That's why Yue Duan wanted to lead his troops to relieve the siege of the capital.

Even if it wasn't to save Obai, he still had to fish out the Eight Banners soldiers who were surrounded by Ming thieves in the capital.

There are now thousands of Eight Banners soldiers in the capital, accounting for almost one-fifth of the current total strength of the Eight Banners.

The Qing Dynasty really cannot afford to lose!

When Yue Le heard this, he didn't say anything. He just picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then stood up and said.

"Come with me!"

After saying that, he strode to the courtyard outside the festival hall.

Yue Duan followed closely behind his father.

Yue Le ordered people to light a bonfire in the courtyard, then called his son to come to him, pointed at the bonfire and said.

"This is the civil war situation in Guanzhong!"

He picked up another piece of firewood and threw it directly into the bonfire.

In an instant, the firewood was ignited by the bonfire, and it burned quite quickly.

Yue Le said.

"This firewood is you!"

Yue Le turned to his son and said earnestly.

"The war situation in the pass is tense now. One hundred thousand Ming army troops are besieging the capital. Those are actually one hundred thousand soldiers, and the Ming thief emperor personally marched there."

"What's the difference between sending troops to the border to rescue the capital and holding a salary to put out the fire?"

When Yue Duan heard this, the expression on his face kept changing.

"But Amma, there are thousands of Eight Banners trapped in the capital!"

Yue Le turned around and said expressionlessly.

"If you enter the border, you will be trapped not only by thousands of bannermen, but also by thousands of bannermen, as well as a prince, Prince An."

Yue Duan opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything else.

Yue Le looked up to the south, towards the direction of Guan Nei, exhaled a heavy breath, and said.

"Go back to Shengjing!"

"Take care of your mother-in-law and your brothers and sisters for Ama."

Yue Duan shook his head and said.

"Amma, my son wants to be with you!"

"We, father and son, work together to ensure that Shanhaiguan is not lost."

Yue Le turned around and spoke in an unquestionable tone.

"This is an order. Yue Duan, you immediately lead a group of Geshiha from Prince An's Palace back to Shengjing."

When Yue Duan heard this, although he was reluctant, he finally called Qian'er and agreed.

"The last general, Yue Duan, obeys the order!"

"..."



The first year of the restoration of the Ming Dynasty, the second year of Zhaowu of the Western Qing Dynasty, early May!

Loop!

Guihua City!

Guihua City is said to be a city, but in fact it is not very large.

The city wall is not even as tall as some ordinary county walls in the pass, and the area is also very small.

In the past, when transactions were needed, a large number of Mongolians would gather in Guihua City.

Normally, there are not many Mongolians settling in Guihua City!

Naturally, it is deserted!

But things are different now. Tens of thousands of Mongolians living in Hetao, led by their tribal leaders, gathered in Guihua City.

Let’s discuss together how to defend ourselves against the enemy!

The enemies they want to defend are Wu Yingqi from the Western Qing Dynasty and Guan Ning's army that has entered Hetao!

"Exiute, damn Wu Sangui. He just betrayed the Qing Dynasty, but he actually sent troops to invade our Hetao. You should be damned!"

A pot-bellied leader of the Mongolian tribe cursed uncleanly, indicating his dissatisfaction and disgust with Wu Sangui.

His angrily pointing fingers at the sky and the earth, and his hands with ten fingers covered with rings are quite eye-catching.

"We Mongolians should unite and defeat the damn Wu thieves together. As long as we can unite together, our power will be infinite, and we can even restore the glory of the Yuan Dynasty."

Another tribal leader in rich attire stood up and said.

Obviously, this is a Mongolian who has never forgotten the glory of his past!

He waved his arms desperately and spoke in a very passionate tone.

Most of the other Mongolians in the tent had the same reaction, with very passionate tones.

"Yes, Wu Yingqi's inexplicable invasion is a great provocation to us Mongolians!"

"Genghis Khan taught us that as long as we unite, nothing can defeat us!"

"Let us mount our horses, pick up our scimitars, and teach the invading enemies a profound lesson!"

"..."

At this moment, a Mongolian cavalry wearing a leather robe suddenly ran in from outside, sweating profusely and reporting.

"Let me tell you leaders, something serious is... bad, the Wu thieves are here to kill us!"

"Our military sentry has determined that the vanguard of the Wu thieves is less than twenty miles away from Guihua City!"

"..."

The sudden and urgent news immediately made these fed-up Mongolian nobles look shocked.

The leading Mongolian even stood up from his seat in shock and shouted an order.

"Quickly, send an order to the entire army to assemble and prepare for war, and prepare to face the Wu thief!"

As the military order was issued, Mongolian herdsmen riding war horses gathered together in a chaotic manner, waving their scimitars in their hands.

It made a lot of strange noises.

It seems that they want to prove that they are still the Mongolians who were good at conquering and fighting during the Genghis Khan period.



At the same time, on the vast grassland, a spirit horse numbering over 10,000 was galloping on the grassland.

The flag belonging to Wu Yingqi is flying high in the army!

The hoofs of the war horses trampled the tender green grass, and the green grass juice even dyed the horses' hoofs.

The knight on horseback is wearing armor and looks very majestic from a distance.

Seen from a distance, these more than ten thousand fine knights are as eye-catching as a torrent sweeping through the heaven and earth, intimidating the warriors.

"Hush!"

Wu Yingqi raised his hand to signal the cavalry behind him to stop, and he slowly reined in his horse.

The big sun in the sky is very scorching, and the physical exertion of the horses running long distances is very serious.

The war horse's tongue was hanging out, breathing heavily and snorting twice from time to time. The soft horse hair was covered with white crystals formed by dried sweat.

Wu Yingqi took off the helmet on his head, and clear drops of sweat slid down his cheeks.

He casually wiped the sweat from his face, turned around and said to everyone.

"Give me the order, the army will be repairing on the spot, eating and drinking, feeding the horses, and recovering their strength as soon as possible!"

"Be ready for battle at any time!"

Guan Ning's army received the order and dismounted to reorganize.

Many of Guan Ning's soldiers began to take off their heavy cotton armor, wanting to get some air and relieve the heat.

In this summer, wearing cotton armor is really tiring.

Wu Yingqi saw this and ordered.

"Give me the order, everyone is to repair where they are, but no disarming is allowed!"

"According to the sentry report, our army is less than twenty miles away from Guihua City. The Mongols are all cavalry and may come at any time."

"When the time comes, I'm afraid it won't be enough to wear the armor!"

As Wu Yingqi's order was issued, although Guan Ning's army was dissatisfied, no one dared to disobey the military order.

A large number of Guan Ning Army cavalry put their heavy cotton armor back on themselves.

Wu Yingqi looked back at the army that was being repaired, then turned to Wu Guogui and said.

"If we win this battle, I will have enough war horses for the Qing Dynasty's Western Expedition!"

Wu Guogui also took off the helmet on his head, exhaled a heavy breath, and said.

"I, the Qing Dynasty, will definitely win this battle!"

"Over the years, our Qing soldiers and horses have been on conquests in the Central Plains for many years and fought thousands of miles. The entire army is a veteran of hundreds of battles."

"And the Mongolians in Hetao have not heard of war for many years. I am afraid they have forgotten all about the art of fighting."

Wu Guogui still didn't say anything, that is, under the successive intentional blockades of the Ming and Qing governments, the grassland tribes are really poor and have only their lives left.

The Ming Dynasty had blocked the grassland trade for more than two hundred years, and had always prohibited ironware from being transported to the grassland. Even if it was a mutual trade, the ironware would be searched carefully and not sold if possible.

The Mongols' armaments were blocked and regressed to the point where bone and stone arrowheads were used on a large scale.

After the Manchus entered the customs, although their policy towards the Mongols was mainly to win over the Mongols, after all, the Manchus and Mongols were one family!

But the so-called Manchu and Mongolian family is just that.

The blockade remains a blockade!

It's just that the blockade was not as strict as during the Ming Dynasty.

Iron tools are still a rarity for grassland tribes!

These tribes in Hetao, let alone equip their soldiers with armor, may not even have enough iron arrowheads.

It is true that Guan Ning's army cannot defeat the Ming army in the pass, but that is because the Ming army's training and armaments far exceed those of Guan Ning's army, and Guan Ning's army cannot defeat the normal army.

No shame!

But against the Mongols on the grasslands, Guan Ning's army was still worthy.

After facing off against the Mongols on the grassland, it was Guan Ning's turn to defeat them with their own training and weapons.

Wu Yingqi also nodded vigorously and said.

"I hope so!"

"Originally, I thought that my army could plow through the courtyard and sweep out the caves, defeating the Mongolian tribes in Hetao one by one."

"I didn't expect that they actually got together on their own!"

"Haha, but this is good, it just makes it easier for me to wipe them all out in one fell swoop, saving me the effort of chasing the Mongols all over the grassland."

When Wu Guogui heard this, he just smiled and nodded in agreement.

Guan Ning's army had only been repairing for less than half an hour when another sentry came to report.

"Your Highness, our army's sentry cavalry has detected that a large group of Mongolian cavalry has left Guihua City and is coming towards us!"

When Wu Yingqi heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said.

"Haha, that's interesting!"

"I thought my army was preparing to attack the city, but I didn't expect that these Mongolians really dared to come out to seek death."

"Haha, do they still think they are Mongolians from the Genghis Khan era?"

"Send the order, and the whole army will mount up and prepare for battle!"

As the military order was issued, Guan Ning's army responded quickly.

A Guan Ning Army cavalryman got on his horse and got ready for battle.

Wu Yingqi shouted loudly.

"All officers and men listen to the order, attack and kill the enemy!"

"..."

"kill!"

"Kill the enemy!"

"Wan Sheng, Wan Sheng!"

"..."

The cavalry of Guan Ning's army roared and moved, like a torrent, towards the direction of Guihua City.



The grassland outside Guihua City is very flat, and a river with abundant water flows through it, making the grassland near the river green.

It grows much more lushly than the grasslands in other places!

Two cavalrymen roared onto the battlefield, and the distance between the two sides was constantly being shortened.

Like two torrents, they are constantly moving towards each other.

Even the earth roared and shook under the trampling of the horses' hooves!

Wu Yingqi led the charge to the front, both sides were on light cavalry, and the distance between them was constantly being shortened.

But instead of hedging, he started shooting on horseback.

Collapse! Collapse!

Bang bang bang!

The sound of bow strings trembled one after another, and arrows were thrown towards the opponent one after another.

The dense rain of arrows in the sky almost completely blocked the sun in the sky.

The arrow drew an arc in the sky and fell towards the enemy.

Phew! Phew!

The arrows used by Guan Ning's soldiers were all made of iron, and most of them were triangular arrows with strong armor-piercing capabilities.

Therefore, even if it is a projectile, the lethality is considerable.

At the very least, as long as it can hit, it won't be a problem to shoot through the Mongolian leather armor.

Not to mention that for these poor Mongolians, leather armor is quite luxurious equipment, and only a small number of nobles can equip it.

Most ordinary soldiers wear leather robes!

These leather robes look quite strong, but they can also be used to protect some stone or bone arrowheads.

Facing the rain of arrows from Guan Ning, these Mongolian leather robes were no different than wearing them at all.

Basically it can be penetrated easily!

Even after the arrow penetrated the Mongolians' leather robes, they could still retain some power and continue to penetrate their bodies.

And, the more important issue is that the Guan Ning Army is a professional army, and the bows they use are all well-made war bows.

The most basic war bow requires eight powers, and the hard bows even exceed eleven powers.

The powerful bows used by some fierce generals even exceed the standard of tiger power.

(ps: The author has forgotten the specific standards of Huli. Does anyone know who can add some information in the book review section?)

This standard is almost the requirement for the battle bows of the Manchu Eight Banners soldiers during the peak period of the Qing Dynasty's military power.

As a patient with late-stage maniaphobia, Wu Sangui could be said to have copied this requirement completely.

It is stipulated that the war bows used by the elite troops of Guan Ning must be at least eight strength!

And one force is almost six kilograms or twelve kilograms!

Eight force is forty-eight kilograms!

This is still the worst!

It can be said that every arrow fired by these elite Guan Ning troops is fatal.

The bows used by the Mongols were basically just hunting bows.

It might be possible to let them shoot rabbits, yellow sheep and other small animals.

But if you want to take such a hunting bow to the battlefield and want to shoot soldiers wearing armor, then you are making things difficult for them.

In fact, as long as we can clearly see the gap in military equipment between the Mongols and the Manchus, we can understand why the Manchus were able to pin the Mongols to the ground and beat them in the late Ming Dynasty.

The arrows from the Manchu people shot at him, and almost every hit could kill someone.

However, the Mongolian arrows could not even break through the armor.

The situation on the battlefield is almost the same now. In the cavalry and shooting duel between the two sides, Guan Ning's army relied on its own superiority in armaments to defeat Mongolia.

Arrows continued to shoot towards the Mongols as if they were free of charge.

Some are projectiles and some are flat shots!

But there are almost no exceptions. Every arrow fired by Guan Ning's army can achieve the effect of breaking armor.

However, the arrows fired by the Mongols could hardly cause any serious damage to Guan Ning's army.

Many of Guan Ning's soldiers who rushed to the front row were covered with arrows, but they still persisted in fighting.

For these armored Guan Ning troops, as long as they are not shot in the vital points, it is not a big deal!

Because the Mongolian arrows were completely unable to penetrate armor, they just hung on their cotton armor, that's all.

At most, it’s just tickling them!

The cavalry on both sides passed each other like two parallel straight lines.

Arrows were thrown towards the opponent's array one after another!

After a round of mounted shooting duel, both sides adjusted their formations and prepared for the second round of mounted shooting.

The two torrents made a large circle on the wide grassland, then turned their horses' heads and headed towards each other.

Get ready for the second round of mounted shooting duel!

Collapse! Collapse!

The sound of bowstrings trembled one after another, arrows flew, and the ground was covered with corpses with arrows stuck in their bodies.

But it is very obvious that the Mongolian casualties were much greater than those of Guan Ning's army!

"Prepare grenades!"

Wu Yingqi shouted and ordered Guan Ning's army to fight.

Guan Ning's army often faced off against the Ming army, so naturally he could find the sharp weapon called a grenade in the hands of the Ming army.

Then, they learned it and used it themselves.

Although the quality of Guan Ning's gunpowder is not as good as that of the Ming army, the Guan Ning army's cast iron technology for grenade shells is not as good as that of the Ming army, and they can't even make hand grenades with strings...

However, this does not prevent Guan Ningjun from imitating it, right?

As long as it works, it's not time for them to pursue performance yet.

After the grenades were lit one by one, they were thrown towards the Mongolian military formation.

Boom, boom, boom, as the grenade fell to the ground, explosions sounded one after another.

Clouds of black smoke rose up from the Mongolian array, and the flames filled the air. Many of the horses under the Mongolian cavalry were frightened.

Let out a loud neighing sound!

Many Mongolians were even knocked down by their own war horses, and then trampled to pulp by countless horse hooves.

"Kill!"

"..."

The fighting on the battlefield became more and more intense.

The resilience of these Mongolian herdsmen was not as strong as expected. The horse-and-shooting duel between the two sides only reached the third round when they collapsed under the rain of arrows and grenades from Guan Ning's army.

Deserters even started appearing!

Seeing this scene, Wu Yingqi knew that the opportunity had come.

Decisively led people to charge once!

The cavalry charged into the formation, and the ground they trampled on was shaking.

The cavalry on horseback are wearing heavy armor and are very majestic. The sight of them roaring in is quite impressive.

The cavalry of Guan Ning's army roared past, and the war horses galloped.

The spear was so fierce that it seemed to destroy everyone and everything.

The Mongols were no match for cavalry and archery, let alone hedging.

These Mongolians are quite good at riding and shooting because they grew up on horses.

But when it comes to cavalry hedging, these herdsmen who have only been herding sheep since childhood don't understand.

Guan Ning's cavalry charge tactics also imitated the Ming Dynasty's wall cavalry charge.

Countless heavy cavalry from Guan Ning's army formed a wall and rushed through the Qing army's array.

In an instant, a large hole was torn open in the Mongolian array.

The spear in Wu Yingqi's hand was stained with blood, and he let out a roar while enjoying the pleasure of destroying the enemy.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Wu Yingqi, who was covered in blood, but it was all the blood of his enemies, couldn't help but admire in his heart.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty was really a genius, and this tactic was so easy to use.

As Wanjun came out of the formation, Wu Yingqi's chest heaved violently and he shouted loudly.

"Push left and right to destroy the enemy!"

"Hurry up!"

"Hold the Mongols, don't let them run away!"

"Kill the enemy!"

Amidst the shouts, Wu Yingqi picked down several people with the spear in his hand.

He also received several chops on his body, but because he was wearing armor, Wu Yingqi was not injured.

The battle remains heroic!

As a general who was born as Wu Sangui's personal servant, Wu Guogui was equally brave in fighting.

Join Wu Yingqi in the battle!

In front of them, the Mongols were like paper, completely vulnerable.

Under the leadership of these two fierce generals, the morale of Guan Ning's army was extremely high, and they continued to charge and kill.

Of course, this is also related to the reason why Ning Jun has gained a psychological advantage after facing the Mongols.

As Guan Ning's army charged again and again, the Mongolian array began to become more and more chaotic.

More and more Mongolian herders choose to turn around and flee!

They were really scared!

The fierce battle lasted for a whole day.

But except for the beginning, which can be regarded as a battle, the rest of the process is basically Guan Ning's army chasing the enemy and expanding the results.

On the endless grassland, corpses lay densely packed, and blood flowed freely, even dyeing the river not far away red.

Corpses were floating on the river, their skin soaked pale and without blood.

The battlefield was littered with broken limbs and broken corpses.

The war horse licked his master's cheek, trying to wake him up.

But it's all in vain, because its owner has already turned into a cold corpse!

The cavalry of the Guan Ning Army passed by on horseback, and the horses' hooves stepped on the grass. The grass was already soft and soaked with blood. When the horses' hooves stepped on it, blood could even flow out.

Wu Yingqi looked into the distance, towards the direction where the Mongols were fleeing, his eyes full of indifference.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze from there and said coldly.

"Give me the order, withdraw your troops, no need to chase anymore, just clean up the battlefield!"

"And send someone to report the victory to Chang'an!"

"Here!"

Wu Guogui responded with clasped fists, his face full of excitement after a great victory.



Guanzhong, Chang'an City!

Wu Sangui held the beauty in his arms, and the sound of silk, bamboo, wind, music, singing and dancing filled the entire hall.

The musicians played beautiful music!

One by one, beauties wearing tulle and with looming figures danced to the music.

Her soft waist and slim figure make people unable to help but marvel at her beauty.

Wu Sangui took a sip of wine and delicious food, squinting his eyes and enjoying life.

The beauty in his arms would twist her delicate body from time to time and let out a sweet smile as clear as a silver bell.

The aroused Wu Sangui couldn't help but feel distraught.

"Your Majesty, come and have a drink!"

The beauty in her arms said coquettishly.

"Your Majesty, come and have a bite. This is venison cooked by my concubine. It's very fresh and tender."

"Your Majesty, please have another bite of lamb meat. This is the best yellow lamb meat. It was slaughtered just today. It is fresh and tight."

"..."

Wu Sangui was so happy that he couldn't see his eyes, enjoying the service of several beauties, his face was full of smiles from the heart.

In fact, since having these young beauties, Wu Sangui rarely even went to Chen Yuanyuan's house.

While Wu Sangui was having fun, Wu Yingxiong strode in from outside and shouted.

"Father, father, good news!"

"A great victory, Ying Qi has achieved a great victory in Hetao!"

When Wu Sangui heard this, his slightly squinted eyes instantly opened.

With a look of surprise on his face, he pushed away the beauty lying in his arms, stepped over the table, and strode towards Wu Yingxiong, ignoring the dish soup that got on his robe.

"What's going on? What are the specific casualties and results of the battle on Ying Qi's side?"

Wu Yingxiong's face was filled with a smile that couldn't be concealed.

He took out a memorial from his arms, knelt on one knee in front of Wu Sangui, and then presented the memorial with both hands.

Wu Sangui took the memorial and began to read it.

"My son should pay homage to Qi Bai to hear about it..."

In order to prepare for the specific matters of the Western Expedition, shortly after the beginning of the year, under Wu Sangui's instruction, Wu Yingqi, Wu Guogui and other generals of the Guan Ning Army launched the Northern Expedition.

The troops are pointing directly at the horse breeding land in Hetao!

Facts have proved that although the Guan Ning Army could not take advantage after facing the Ming Army, if the enemy they faced were the Mongols outside the Pass, these Guan Ning Army would still be very powerful.

Wu Yingqi sent troops from Chang'an in early March and led his troops to attack Hetao.

After leaving Yulin Mansion in mid-March, we entered the grassland.

Within two months, seventeen large and small Mongolian tribes were defeated, tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry and herdsmen were killed, and a large number of young people were captured.

Of course, these young and middle-aged people are mainly women of childbearing age.

Well, the soldiers of Guan Ning Army also want to marry wives!

If you can't find your wife, you have to rob her!

In addition, Guan Ning's army also captured countless horses, cattle and sheep.

The Mongols living within the Hetao were frightened and wanted to organize a coalition force in Guihua City to fight against Wu Yingqi.

As a result, Wu Yingqi rushed in and completely solved the problem.

The 20,000 cavalrymen, or perhaps 20,000 herdsmen, that the Mongols managed to organize were wiped out in one battle.

That is to say, Mongolians know how to ride horses, and they can run really fast!

Otherwise, Wu Yingqi could have waged a battle of annihilation in Guihua City!

But even so, Wu Yingqi's victory in Guihua City can greatly boost the morale of the Western Qing Dynasty.

The decisive battle between the Western Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty in Huguang was a disastrous defeat.

After a disastrous defeat, Xiqing was even forced to retreat directly into Guanzhong, leaving behind the entire southwest, including Henan and Huguang.

The morale of the military and civilians in the Western Qing Dynasty was greatly affected!

Many people even began to doubt Guan Ningjun's combat effectiveness!

In this decisive battle in the Hetao, Guan Ningjun proved to the world that they are still very capable of fighting!

In this battle, Wu Yingqi beheaded a total of 4,000 people and captured more than 7,000 prisoners.

More than 100,000 war horses and horses of various types were seized, as well as countless cattle, sheep and other large livestock, but the total is expected to exceed 300,000, or even more.

This is only what Guan Ning's army captured in the Battle of Guihua City. If we count all the captures in the Battle of Hetao, the number will only be higher.

The horses alone are conservatively estimated to cost more than 200,000!

This is the loot that Guan Ning's army can get after sweeping the entire Hetao!

I can only say that it is correct to say that "the Yellow River is full of evils, but only rich."

It can be said that with these 200,000 horses, Guan Ning's army must have enough war horses for its western expedition.

Wu Sangui couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

His laughter was so full of joy that it seemed to lift the roof of the palace.

"My son, congratulations to your father!"

"Ying Qi won a great victory in this battle, which greatly increased the prestige of our Qing Dynasty! It greatly boosted the morale of our Qing army and people!"

Wu Yingxiong bowed and said.

Wu Sangui helped his eldest son up, patted his shoulder and said.

"This credit is not just your brother's!"

"I have also seen the hard work you have done during this period to raise the food and fodder needed for the army to go out, and you have been dealing with government affairs day and night."

"You deserve half of the credit for our Qing Dynasty's great victory in Hetao!"

Wu Yingxiong nodded vigorously, his eyes filled with tears.
