Li Zhi looked at Wang Tingchen and Bai Guangen's troops and saw only corpses on the ground. The Ming army probably lost thousands of people. Both men and horses had been frightened by the Qing army and could no longer pursue the Qing.
military.
There were only 15,000 people on his side, and it was too dangerous to chase nearly 50,000 Tatars. Li Zhi gave up the plan to chase the Tatars, and went back to cut off the heads and count the wounded.
The mountains and forests were littered with corpses, as well as wounded Tatars who were seriously injured but not dead. Li Zhi killed the seriously injured Tatars directly, while Li Zhi locked up the lightly injured Tatars for interrogation to obtain information about the Tatars.
In this battle, Li Zhi captured and beheaded 3,116 Tatars. Among them were 1,467 Mongolian Tatars and 1,649 Manchu Tatars. So many were captured.
The first level is also a considerable victory.
From the mouths of the captive Tatars who were slightly injured, Li Zhi knew that the Manchu general captured in this battle was called Aobai. This man was named "Batulu" by Huang Taiji and was awarded the title of First Class Mailer with a Yellow Flag.
Zhang Jing and Li Zhi loaded Obai's body in the car and prepared to take it back to Xingshan City to show it to Hong Chengchou.
Li Zhi also loaded the captured Tatar armor one by one and transported it back to the city. However, Li Zhi now produces full-body plate armor on a large scale and has no demand for the Tatars' inferior cotton armor, chain armor and scale armor. In addition, in previous battles
Li Zhi now stores tens of thousands of useless Qing army armors from all kinds of captured armors.
Maybe you can sell these armors to other Ming armies in the future and earn some money.
Li Zhi's soldiers fought at close range with the Tatar soldiers, and the casualties were not small. The officers counted the figures, and finally counted 67 people killed in this battle, 123 seriously injured, and 19 slightly injured.
Eighteen people. Most of the soldiers killed or seriously injured were shot in the face by Qing bows and arrows. Although the hand-to-hand bayonet battle was fierce, the actual casualties were not high.
Wang Tingchen and Bai Guangen suffered greater casualties, with more than 3,000 dead and wounded. Their troops almost collapsed. However, their troops also killed and wounded more than 400 Tatars. The Tatars fled in a panic.
The dead and injured Tatars were not dragged away. Wang Tingchen and Bai Guangen relied on the heads of more than 400 Tatars to repay their merits, and they hurriedly beheaded them.
After clearing the battlefield, Li Zhi loaded up carts of loot and headed for Xingshan City.
Hong Chengchou had already received the news and rushed to Xingshan City with his bodyguards. As soon as he entered the city, he was shocked by Li Zhi's carloads of heads and his face turned red. He seemed to have thought of something and was a little helpless, but he
Unable to hide the excitement on his face, he grabbed Li Zhi's hand and said, "Uncle Xing Guo has made military exploits again. It's really gratifying and congratulatory!"

On February 11, news of Li Zhi's victory over Jierhalang, Prince Zheng of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, at Hejia'ao was sent to the capital.
At the court meeting in the Huangji Hall, hundreds of civil and military officials stood on both sides, listening to the envoy read aloud the good news jointly sent by Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, Zhang Ruoqi, the supervisor of the army, and Li Zhi, the uncle of Xingguo.
"In the battle of Si, Wang Tingchen, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, and Bai Guangen, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Association of Ji Zhen, rescued Xingshan, pursued Dongnu and were ambushed. More than 30,000 troops were surrounded in Hejia'ao. The situation was critical. Li Zhi, the uncle of Xingguo, was alerted and rushed to provide support.
, fought against Ji'erharang at the Nanling Mountains of Hejiaao. Li Zhi fought fiercely for a while, and captured and killed Manchu Tatars and Mongolian Tatars at the level of 1,649."
Hearing the envoy Hong Chengchou's chanting, the civil servants in the court all looked embarrassed and some were speechless.
Li Zhi, the enemy of civil servants, has made meritorious deeds again.
Counting the gains at the Qing army camp at Bijiagang, Li Zhi had already captured and killed 6,000 Qing troops. Li Zhi had only been out of seclusion for a month, but he had already captured so much. The title of the strongest army in the world is really not a lie.
The civil servants were a little embarrassed.
Previously, they lashed out at Li Zhi for being domineering and arrogant, and even said that Li Zhi had a disloyal heart and trampled Li Zhi under his feet. At that time, Li Zhi was not in a hurry to go out to assist Jinzhou, but was busy running newspapers in Shandong. The emperor helped Li Zhi
Li Zhi suppressed the gentry, and the officials immediately besieged the emperor. They had already regarded Li Zhi as a traitor and traitor.
At that time, the phrase "Li Zhi was the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty" that the emperor often said seemed to have become a joke and was ridiculed by civil servants all day long. Some people in the capital even wrote sarcastic remarks on the walls on both sides of the street, mocking Li Zhi.
Implanted the title of "Good General Who Saved the Country".
At that time, Li Zhi was labeled as an enemy bandit by the scholars in the capital. Who dared to sing the most popular operas "Qingshankou" and "Fanjiazhuang Beheading Yue Tuo" in the teahouse? As soon as he sang it, he was smashed and beaten by the scholars.
Because Li Zhi delayed sending troops, the officials put all the pressure on the emperor. At that time, except the emperor, no one else in the court supported Li Zhi. The emperor sent Jin Yiwei into Shandong to assist Li Zhi in running a newspaper, which made the civil officials even more worried.
They were so angry that the mute rushed into the palace with a wooden stick to assassinate the emperor.
However, just over a month later, things took a turn for the worse.
Li Zhi made meritorious deeds again.
Li Zhi is like a god of war. He entered western Liaoning and killed everyone in all directions within a month. He first bombarded Dudu at Bijiagang, defeated Jierhalang in Hejia'ao, and killed the Tatar general Aobai. Except for Li Zhi,
The other Ming armies were either defeated or ambushed in front of the Qing army, which further highlighted the key to Li Zhi's army.
The emperor's words that Li Zhi was the mainstay sounded true at this time.
As soon as Hong Chengchou's second victory message entered the capital, it spread throughout the streets and alleys. The scholars were very embarrassed. They had attacked Li Zhi before, but now Li Zhi was saving the country in western Liaoning. Li Zhi once again became the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, and
The scholars who attacked Li Zhi suddenly turned into the mainstay of the enemy.
A good general who saves the country, everything he does is reasonable. Li Zhi's matter of running a newspaper in Shandong suddenly became very correct. The people began to re-examine the scholars in the world and despised their behavior of obstructing Li Zhi from running a newspaper.
Isn't it just to control public opinion and prevent Xing Guobo from gaining the right to speak?
Uncle Xing Guo served the country and the people, and turned the tide several times, and his loyalty was revealed day by day. These scholars were so afraid that Li Zhi would snatch their right to speak, which shows that what they usually say may not be of any benefit to the country.
Some people have even jumped out and said that the literati controlled public opinion and harmed the country and benefited individuals. Therefore, Xing Guobo had to fight for the right to speak for the country, and ran a newspaper to let the people distinguish right from wrong, and to give Ming Dynasty a fair speech.
If the Tatars are allowed to enter the country, I don’t know how many states and counties will be massacred, how many families will be separated from their wives and children? How many people will be shaved into slavery? Uncle Xing Guo is truly a good general who saves the country!
The great play "Qingshan Pass" was once again sung in teahouses and taverns in the streets and alleys. As soon as the people heard Li Zhi's words in the play, "We have served the country and the people all our lives, even if the slave chief Huang Taiji comes, I will not be afraid."
