The Jurchen soldiers and civilians without horses were so frightened that they knelt down and surrendered one after another when they saw the entire Ming army.
Most of them were brought by Jin Wushu from the south bank of the Yalu River and the Tumen River. They didn't want to fight in the first place and were just drafted into the army. Many of them had already escaped along the way, and the remaining ones were so timid that they didn't even dare to desert at night.
.
According to the original historical trajectory, their descendants will be assimilated into North Korea and eventually become Koreans one by one.
If you can become Korean, of course you can also become Han!
Jurchen soldiers with war horses fled east or south, because the Hun River was to the north and the Ming army was to the west.
The cavalry of various tribes led by Yang Zaixing and the mounted infantry led by Hua Rong stared at Wanyan Zongfu's commander's flag to pursue them.
Some Jurchen soldiers found that as long as they didn't block the way, they would be fine. So those who were located further north took refuge and knelt down by the Hun River to ask for surrender, because they really had no way to escape. As for those Jurchen soldiers who were located further south, who were they?
They ignored Luohuang and fled, trying to escape back to their respective tribal lands, and then sent envoys to express their surrender to the Ming Emperor.
The Ming infantry at the front gradually left the car formation to capture the surrendered enemies.
Zhu Ming no longer paid attention to the battlefield in front of him, but said: "Send an order to break Yan Zhi, Zhang Xian and other generals, and tell them to immediately march eastward. After taking over Shenzhou (Shenyang), continue to occupy Guide (Fushun) and Zhaosan City
.Fight all the way and send a partial division to capture Gulitian (Mudanjiang City), so there is no need to march further. It may have snowed by then, so be sure to transport the blankets and clothes with the army to keep warm."
"I then sent an order to Deng Chun and Li Jinyi, asking them to capture Jinzhou, and then some troops went north to occupy Tongchang (northwest of Fuxin City) and guard the city to prevent Wanyan Zonghan from returning reinforcements. The remaining troops occupied Guangning (Beizhen City) and Wang
If there is no trace of the enemy, then go north and capture Yizhou."
After issuing the military order, Ju Ming rode forward and his guards quickly followed.
There were surrendered soldiers and prisoners everywhere, especially on the banks of the Hun River.
Ju Ming asked a very short prisoner: "How old are you this year?"
The prisoner could not understand Chinese and knelt on the ground trembling.
The military interpreter quickly said: "Your Majesty asked you how old you are."
The prisoner replied: "Thirteen years old."
Ju Ming curled his lips and patrolled along the river on horseback. Child soldiers could be seen at any time.
He originally planned to "reduce" the Jurchens, but it seems that Wanyan Zongfu had already done so in advance.
Ju Ming then ordered: "Screen the Wanyan tribe among the prisoners and kill them all without leaving any one alive. From the other tribes, five thousand will be taken away in proportion, as long as those under the age of sixteen are taken away. One thousand of them will be taken to Pyongyang, Baozhou and other places.
They lived together with the Han soldiers and civilians there. Five hundred of them were taken to Iwami Castle, Tsushima Island, and Sado Island to work as tenants for the soldiers there. Once they learned to speak Chinese, they were considered Han people. The rest were sent to Xiangxi, Southern Sichuan, and Hehuang.
, living among the exiles there.”
There are too many Bohai people in Liaodong, so Zhu Ming will migrate some to Youyan.
Moreover, these Bohai people who migrated there cannot enjoy the preferential tax treatment of three exemptions and two reductions. Who asked them to help the Jin Dynasty fight the war in the past few years?
The Khitan people and Xi people who could not speak Chinese were also sent to Youyan to farm. Those who could speak Chinese were given land for resettlement in Liaodong.
Anyway, in the areas suitable for farming in Liaodong, more than 60% of the people who can speak Chinese must account for it - no matter what ethnic group they are!
…
The two brothers Wanyan Zongfu and Jin Wushu had led their troops to flee for more than ten miles.
There were fewer and fewer Jurchen soldiers following them. Not all of them were killed by the Ming Dynasty's pursuers, but were led away by the leaders of each department.
After sending several groups of cavalry in succession, they fled before engaging in battle.
The quality of these Jurchen soldiers is too low, and most of them have never fought in a war. What can they do when they are brought to the battlefield at the age of thirteen or fourteen? Now they are fleeing after a big defeat, and those child soldiers are scared to death.
Wanyan Zongfu originally planned to let Jin Wushu cut off the queen, but Jin Wushu escaped faster than him.
"If a man dies, he will die. How can he be humiliated like this?" Wanyan Zongfu stopped his horse and ordered the trumpets to be blown to gather troops.
He has been retreating these days and has long wanted to fight head-on.
Anyway, there is no army rations when you escape, and you may not be able to escape, so you might as well charge before you die. The people chasing you happen to be cavalry, and there is no protection from the Ming chariot formation. Now you can regain some dignity by counterattacking.
“Woooooooo~~~”
After blowing the trumpet for a long time, about two thousand soldiers gathered together.
There are still more than 200 Hezha Meng'an, but more than half have lost their armor. Their heavy armor is carried by spare horses. How could they take care of it when they fled in a hurry just now?
Most of the remaining core elites of the Jin Guo East Route Army are here now.
Seeing that Wanyan Zongfu was about to charge back, Yang Zaixing and Hua Rong both raised their arms and began to slow down and form their own teams.
Hua Rong had three thousand fusiliers and two thousand close combat infantry. Their riding skills were not very good, so they dismounted and formed a military formation.
Yang Zaixing ordered the cavalry of all ethnic groups to be distributed on both sides of the infantry formation. The Bohai cavalry, including Gao Jingshan, Wang Zheng and others, were also under Yang Zaixing's command at this time.
The Jin cavalry is still the same old style, with fifty men in a team. Thirty cavalry on both sides of each team step forward to shoot arrows to disturb and lure the enemy. The twenty cavalry in the middle are ready to charge at any time, and occasionally charge forward to shoot arrows.
The cavalry from both sides were cruising around and shooting arrows at each other, speeding up and sprinting as they shot.
It was the Jurchen cavalry who took the initiative to charge forward. There were too few of them and they were at a disadvantage when shooting arrows. They could only charge ahead and fight in close combat to still have a chance.
The first one to be defeated was Liu E. Although this guy wanted to do his best, but if he couldn't defeat him, he really couldn't defeat him.
Liu E had hundreds of Han cavalry under his command, all of whom were brought from Youzhou to Liaodong. They were afraid of the Ming soldiers as well as the Jurchen soldiers, and were defeated by a group of Jurchen cavalry on the spot.
There were no child soldiers following Wanyan Zongfu in the counterattack, and most of them were Jurchen elites. At this moment, they finally showed their due fighting power!
When Liu E's Youzhou Han cavalry collapsed, it immediately affected the Liaodong Bohai cavalry next to them.
The Bohai cavalry under Wang Zheng's command, those close to Youzhou Han cavalry fled, while those far away from Youzhou Han cavalry were still barely holding back.
The Jurchen cavalry general who defeated Liu E turned and charged towards Wang Zheng's troops. With just one charge, Wang Zheng's remaining troops collapsed, causing Gao Jingshan's troops to be attacked from two sides.
Although Da Pan was killed in Hesu Guancheng, his younger brother Da Gu also led his remaining troops to participate in the war.
The Bohai cavalry rushed to the rescue and attacked the Jurchen knights from the flanks. Three groups of Jurchen knights showed their defeat and retreated while shooting arrows, but two more groups of Jurchen knights took over the retreating friendly troops and charged forward.
Hundreds of Da's cavalry were routed by two groups of Jurchen cavalry, and the leader, Dagu, was killed on the spot.
Gao Jingshan's troops were already on the verge of collapse. Also facing the same fate as him were the Li clan of Liaoyang and the cavalry of the Gao clan of Liaoyang.
Yang Zaixing saw that more than half of the Jurchen cavalry had been dispatched, and one of his own cavalry had also completed a sideways maneuver. He immediately saw the opportunity and rushed towards Wanyan Zongfu from both sides.
After the mounted infantrymen on Hua Rong's side dismounted and formed a formation, no enemy cavalry rushed over at all - the Jurchen soldiers did not want to provoke muskets.
On the other hand, some of our own troops were defeated and fled towards the infantry formation in a panic.
Moreover, more and more broken troops came, bypassing the formation and hiding behind the formation, trying to seek protection from the Ming infantry.
At this time, the Chengzhou Gao's cavalry in Gaojingshan, as well as the Liaoyang Li's and Liaoyang Gao's cavalry were defeated one after another by the Jurchen Xiaoqi.
The number of Jurchen cavalry who attacked this side was only six hundred.
The total number of cavalrymen of all races that were overwhelmed by them was more than 3,000!
"Go around to both sides!" Hua Rong shouted.
Without Hua Rong's reminder, the defeated friendly forces spontaneously bypassed the formation. Although they were not as good at fighting as the Jurchen soldiers, their ability to save lives was second to none.
Before all the defeated troops could get around, Hua Rong personally raised the command flag: "First row, release!"
"Bang bang bang bang!"
The first row of fusiliers fired a volley of a thousand muskets. They fired indiscriminately at the fleeing friendly troops and the Jurchen soldiers pursuing behind.
After shooting, squat on the spot and reload ammunition.
The commander of the second platoon quickly waved the command flag and blew the brass whistle to remind.
"Bang bang bang bang!"
Another thousand muskets were fired from a standing position. After shooting, they quickly squatted down.
For the third row of fusiliers, repeat the above operations.
After three rounds of shooting, the two thousand spearmen squatting in the front row raised their spears one after another.
The smoke cleared, and there was no one alive on the battlefield ahead.
The more than 200 friendly troops who had no time to avoid the formation were routed and were closest to the musket firing point, and all of them were killed. These Bohai soldiers who surrendered did not die at the hands of the Jurchens, but died under the muskets.
Two-thirds of the hundreds of Jurchen cavalry who were chasing them fell on the spot, and the remaining lucky ones were so frightened that they fled the battlefield.
"Follow me to kill the enemy!"
Liu E, who was the first to lead his troops to flee, showed how cowardly he had been before, but now he became so fierce - he was extremely brave and killed the remaining Jurchen soldiers.
The troops of all the tribes were defeated and were still fleeing.
When they discovered the performance of the Ming musketeers, they also turned around and charged back.
Yang Zaixing was already at war with Wanyan Zongfu.
Wanyan Zongfu had in his hands, in addition to a thousand Jurchen knights, more than two hundred Hezha Men'an. Among them, more than a hundred Hezha Meng'an had lost their armor while escaping.
A thousand Ming Dynasty cavalry and hundreds of Bohai cavalry, under the command of Yang Zaixing, carried out a flanking attack on both sides.
Yang Zaixing led his army in the lead and headed straight for Wanyan Zongfu who was charging.
Wanyan Zongfu drew his bow and fired. Because the distance was too close, although Yang Zaixing dodged in time, he was still hit by an arrow in his right chest armor.
The two armies were intertwined, and the cavalry in the front had been mixed together.
At the moment when Yang Zaixing engaged in the battle, he ducked past He Zha Meng'an's spear in front of him on the left, and at the same time stabbed Wanyan Zongfu in front of him on the right.
Wanyan Zongfu was not good at force. In the early stage, he followed Aguda to handle military affairs. In the later stage, he was mainly responsible for military and political affairs in Shangjing of the Jin Kingdom.
Wanyan Zongfu's spear was deflected by Yang Zaixing, and he was stabbed in the chest by Yang Zaixing.
Another lance struck again, and Wanyan Zongfu was knocked off his horse.
"Hoo ho ho!"
An unknown Jurchen soldier threw a saddle ax over, almost hitting Yang Zaixing on the forehead and smashing Yang Zaixing's helmet crookedly.
"Boom!"
Hundreds of Ming cavalry and hundreds of Bohai cavalry slammed into the flanks of the Jurchen cavalry.
Just as the two sides were strangling each other, the cavalry from all ethnic groups rushed back after the defeat and had already circled to the other side of the Jurchen cavalry.
The Jurchen cavalry could not pass through the formation. The following groups tried to leave the battlefield, distanced themselves and then charged again. Liu E and Wang Zheng also led the remaining troops to arrive and entangled these Jurchen cavalry.
The Ming Dynasty's melee infantry, under the command of Hua Rong, rushed to the place where the two sides were fighting.
The spearmen dismounted one after another, and the three formed a small team to surround and kill the Jurchen cavalry who could only move short distances.
The fallen Wanyan Zongfu has been trampled to a pulp!
(I drank too much. There is only one update today.)
