Chapter 280: Knife in Hand, Follow Me (Fourth Update, Recommended Votes Plus Update)
More than 4,200 Ming troops, divided into four routes, marched towards their respective targets, these selected targets were all towns that had been reported and were not defended by too many Tartar soldiers by Li Mu.
In fact, within a radius of 100 miles, apart from Fuzhou City, the Tartars did not have many soldiers to fight at all.
Landing on the Jinzhou boundary of the Liaodong Peninsula, under the leadership of Liu Hongchuan, 3,000 Ming troops began an unprecedented conquest from south to north.
In addition to the 400,000 soldiers and 30 personal guards, the troops led by Liu Hongjian were 1,200 allied troops.
These 30 guards were all AKM in hand, and the 400 soldiers of the Thousand Households were also fully armed, and they were all immobile when they arrived at the surrender fort.
"Ben Hou decided that the first person with the best battle record in this battle will be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and the last five people with the lowest battle record will be executed!
Allied soldiers, the time has come to prove your loyalty and bravery, do you see the town ahead? Rush up and conquer it!
Remember, if anyone wants to join you, keep an eye on him and let him kill the Tartars, understand? ”
"Understood!" These more than 1,200 allied troops were dressed in various colors, and the weapons in their hands were also of different lengths, and under Liu Hongji's encouragement, most of them were blushing and their necks were thick.
"Go, Ben Hou is waiting here to celebrate your achievements!" Liu Hong gradually rode on the war horse and said to the allies who held the scimitar.
Maybe it's nervous, maybe it's excited, but it doesn't matter, if you don't want to die, if you want to get a bounty, then go kill and use your best strength.
"Rush!" I don't know which leader it was, and more than a thousand Allied soldiers and civilians clumsily rushed into the surrender fort.
"My lord, do you want to help with a small follow-up?" A hundred officials of a thousand households stepped forward.
"No, you four hundred household officials, each bring a hundred people to block all the exits!" Liu Hong gradually got better, he just wanted to see how powerful these allied forces were under fear and temptation.
The remaining four hundred soldiers were not so much to help the Allies as to spy on them.
The four hundred household officials scattered with the soldiers, and Liu Hongjian was instantly left with only a cow and a mallet and thirty personal guards.
Guifu Fort was the weakest defense of the four attack directions, and after surveying Guifu Fort did not even have a garrison of Tartars, except for less than 300 Tartar herdsmen, a small half of the rest were Han people.
The Allied soldiers clumsily kicked open the doors on both sides of the street, and when they saw that there were Tartars inside, they raised their butcher knives, spears, and dung forks in their hands and fought with them.
When he saw that it was Han Ming in the house, he shouted loudly, either they would go and kill the Tartars together, or they would die......
It's another quiet morning, but the town is finally at an end.
An hour later, when the Allies came out of the town with bloody butcher knives, the soldiers of Sennoso could barely believe their eyes.
Most of these allies were covered in blood, and in fact they even used their hands and feet to kill a Tartar, and some even had their mouths.
Conquering the fear of killing for the first time, everything became so simple, and the Allies became fierce and ferocious.
Is this still the same Allied forces just now?
What are these allies carrying in their hands?
Many soldiers of Qianhu were dumbfounded.
Knock - Knock - An Allied soldier threw several Tartar heads to the ground.
Knock - Knock - Knock Knock - More Allies threw their heads to the ground.
"Lao Feng, take the silver, reward!" Liu Hong gradually knew what these allies needed now, they had conquered fear, and now they needed to be appeased.
They need to convince themselves that they have righteousness above them, and they have a reward for money, and that all of this is worth it.
It's just that so many heads were piled up at once, and Liu Hong gradually became nauseous.
Before coming to Liaodong, it was stipulated that military merits should be counted as collective merits, but for the allied forces, Liu Hongjian did not intend to change military merits.
It's better to count according to the battle record, which is more primitive and easier to stimulate the enthusiasm of the allies to fight.
It's just that cutting the head is too troublesome and too infiltrating.
One of the allies actually had five or six swaying heads around their waists, which was really unsightly.
In the end, Liu Hong gradually came up with a way, and the allies calculated the battle results, counting them by the handful of braided scalps on the top of the Tartar's head.
Not to mention that this thing is easy to carry, the shaving order has not yet been implemented, and there is no Han masochistic haircut for this hairstyle.
The small pigtails like rat's tails were also braided very seriously, and the Allies couldn't cheat for a while, so it was the best choice for counting the battle records.
According to statistics, in the first battle of the fort, the allies surrendered more than 1,400 heads, 302 were killed in battle, and 530 new allies joined the army.
Including the eight Tartars, which is surprising, but these eight Tartars also presented the heads of the Tartars, and Liu Hong gradually waved his hand to be inclusive and killing!
The five Minzhuang with the worst records in the Allied army were immediately beheaded, and Feng Dunhou even poured out a bunch of silver coins from his horse and distributed them to the meritorious Allied Minzhuang on the spot.
Those who have merit are rewarded, and those who have done wrong are punished, this is the simplest, most direct, and most brutal rule.
After this battle, Liu Hong's newly formed allied forces not only did not disappoint him, but became more 'united'.
Under the harsh system, the Allies not only grew flesh and blood, but also fangs.
In terms of momentum, they were bloodier than the soldiers of the Thousand Households, more brutal than the Guanning Army, and they dared to move on anyone, even with their teeth, even with a dung fork.
As long as Liu Hong gradually gives the order.
After the fire burned down the surrender fort, the original 1,600 troops became 1,080, and the large army marched towards the designated assembly point, Pangu Fort.
The same way was played out in three other towns where the captives were built.
At two o'clock, Chang Yubu arrived at Shiheyi, killed more than 1,200 Tartars, collected 340 allied troops, more than 200 horses, and thousands of taels of gold and silver......
At the end of the day, the broad end arrived at Luangu Pass, killed more than 800 Tartars, collected 12 allied troops, 300 horses, and no gold and silver......
At three o'clock, the ancestral enemy Qing troops arrived at Hongzui Fort, killed more than 1,300 Tartars, collected 600 allied troops, more than 500 horses, and more than 13,000 taels of gold and silver......
At that time, the four armies united and assembled at Pangu Fort south of the Shahe River outside Fuzhou City.
When the Ming army arrived at Pangu Fort, the two hundred Tartar defenders of Pangu Fort were frightened, and they abandoned their garrison on the spot and galloped towards Fuzhou City on horseback.
Whether it was the Tartars or the Han people who fled from the vicinity of Luanguguan and Hongzui Fort, they scattered and fled, and the name of the six butchers of the Ming Dynasty also began to spread.
They are Chang Yu, Zu Qiuqing, Wang Lang, Xing Shan, Yue Chengze and Kuoduan.
Under the order of Liu Hongchuan, the Ming army entered Pangu Fort, and the soldiers of Qianhusuo were responsible for guarding the guard, and the allies began to enjoy the joy of receiving goods.
Some people are happy and some are worried, in Fuzhou City, a general Jianyu slapped on the table......
PS: Stay up late and add more, the conscience of the industry, ask for a reward......
