I saw Wu Xiang covering his ears with both hands, and kept moving his mouth to call.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, although he couldn't hear what Wu Xiang said, but he could probably guess.

Wu Xiang, a half-year-old man in his forties, was completely happy, and said loudly: "Xiaobao, okay, good fight, you have such a powerful firearm, why didn't you tell me earlier?" I'm worried in vain these days. ”

Wei Bao also said loudly: "Dad, you hide!" Beware of being wounded by stray arrows! ”

Wei Bao said as he pulled Wu Xiang to the wall station.

Wei Bao moved, and Wu Xuexia saw her father come in.

Wu Xiang laughed vigorously and kept giving thumbs up to Wu Xuexia and Wei Bao.

Wu Xuexia smiled reluctantly, in the end, she was a girl, although she was usually very bold when she made decisions, but the bloody scenes of the war made her not as ecstatic and excited as Wu Xiang.

Lord Wu Xiang can be said to be surrounded by happiness, he is so stupid that he can't stop laughing.

Wei Bao didn't have time to pay attention to Wu Xiang, and he was not interested in watching the battle outside, so he pulled Wu Xuexia to the edge of the bed and sat down, hugging each other and waiting for the result.

Wei Bao knew that it was nothing more than two results, withstanding this wave of offsets, and Jiannu Iron Cavalry retreated, in that case, the combat goal of a thousand heads would definitely be completed, and even rich.

Either they didn't resist it, the ammunition couldn't keep up, and the Jiannu iron cavalry swarmed and forced more than a dozen warships to retreat and leave, so it would be in vain.

Although it is already a fact that a large number of Jiannu were killed and injured, there is no way to finally turn into a human head.

Thinking of the use of human heads as proof of the results of wars in ancient times, Wei Bao felt funny, it was all about Yang and Yin, fooling around, killing good and risking merit too much, and the top didn't trust the bottom, so he had to do this.

Take today's battle as an example, how many Jiannu have been killed by your own side, as long as these people watching the battle are not blind, the approximate number can definitely be estimated, and it will exceed three thousand, and these three thousand should be regarded as the result of the battle.

But these 'friendly' generals will not do this.

So, it is necessary to get a sufficient number of heads.

The unseen situation is even more terrifying, more terrifying.

At this time, the madman Tan was sweating profusely and commanding the war, his face blackened.

Madman Tan knew that there was not much ammunition left, and he didn't know how many cavalry Jiannu would have to kill.

Madman Tan hesitated whether to let the infantry go ashore to confront the Jiannu Iron Cavalry.

Later, thinking that the infantry, which numbered less than a thousand, would not be of much use to go ashore, the idea was abandoned.

Now it's just a matter of luck.

In close combat, especially in this kind of close-range defensive warfare, it is the grenades of the treasure army that are most effective, these grenades fly close to the ground and explode under the feet of the horses.

As long as the shrapnel is next to the war horse, the war horse will lose its combat effectiveness.

The enemy cavalry formation was in disarray.

Jiannu's cavalry was a bit psychologically deficient, if they didn't ride horses when they first joined the battle, they all acted as pure infantry, and they wouldn't have panicked if they lost their horses.

But if you come on a horse at the beginning, after losing your horse, you will be panicked, and you will be panicked, as if you have lost most of your combat effectiveness, and you will stand on the ground and don't know what to do.

This made the infantry of the treasure army shoot more accurately and more targeted, and they did not know how to lie down, and they were there one by one, like the scarecrows of the infantry of the treasure army who usually practiced live-fire training.

Madman Tan estimated that Jiannu's wave of charges should only use 5,000 cavalry, because the cross-section left by a dozen boats is not large, and there is also a gap between the war horses, with an average of three meters for a horse, and a thousand horses for a width of three thousand meters.

The treasure army only dispatched a dozen ships, where there were thousands of meters of cross-section.

Therefore, it is enough for Jiannu to dispatch 5,000 cavalry.

Although Yang Guli couldn't see the specific situation of the battle now, he knew that his side was in a situation of being sent to death and being beaten, and he was anxious to die.

"We can't fight like this anymore, we can't beat the Ming army at all, we can only be beaten passively! Someone must be sent to inform the Great Khan! Yang Guli wanted to order the withdrawal of the troops, "Prepare to withdraw the troops!" ”

"No, big brother, if Mingjin withdraws his troops at this time, how many corpses will the Ming army snatch from us? It's a great shame! Let's keep rushing and see how many artillery they have! Yang Guli's younger brother Leng Geli said.

Jiannu has a strong sense of protecting corpses, and the Ming army actually has it, but it is not as strong as Jiannu.

After the death of the soldiers, the Jiannu would hold very complicated and formal sacrifices.

After the Ming soldiers, they usually just buried things hastily, and those wrapped in straw mats were considered very good, and many corpses that could not be buried, or did not have time to be buried, were directly piled together with wood and burned.

Or simply give up.

If Wei Bao is fighting against the Ming army today, let alone getting a thousand corpses, three or four thousand corpses will be brought here.

"The casualties are too serious, how can I explain to the Great Khan!?" Yang Guli said angrily: "And don't you see? There are mountains of corpses piled up on the shore, they are all our people, there are so many corpses piled up, our war horses can't rush through, how can we fight? Therefore, I can only withdraw my troops for the time being, and then plan the next step after telling the Great Khan! ”

"If the cavalry is not good at charging, send armor soldiers to charge on foot! Big brother, it's okay to report to the Great Khan, but you must not withdraw the troops now, I'll lead people to rush on foot! Our Dajin Kingdom fought against the Ming army and took the initiative to retreat, which is a great shame! You can't give this order! Leng Geri said.

"If I don't let the troops be withdrawn, and then let the Great Khan let everyone withdraw their troops, can the Great Khan give this order?" Yanguli said angrily: "My dignity is important, or the dignity of the Great Khan is important!" It shouldn't have been rushed like this in the first place, who knew that the Ming army had so many artillery pieces this time, and the power had become so great, charging like this, we were just constantly sending them to death, and we couldn't hurt the Ming army at all! ”

Leng Geli was silent, knowing that it was inconvenient for Yang Guli to say it clearly, he shouldn't rush like this, but it can be ruled out that the order to charge the Iron Cavalry Corps was personally issued by the Great Khan, and if there is a mistake, it is the Great Khan who is wrong.

Leng Geri knew that his brother was going to take all the faults on his back.

"Brother, let me lead people to rush and kill on foot for a while, at least recapture the corpses, and don't let the corpses of the warriors fall into the hands of the Han people, they will definitely cut off their heads and insult our warriors!" Leng Geli said loudly: "You now send someone to tell the Great Khan the details, whether the Great Khan lets you withdraw the troops for the time being, you can say that the order to withdraw the troops was given by you before receiving the order from the Great Khan." ”

Yang Guli shook his head and sighed: "I know that you want to take care of me and the face of the Great Khan, but have you thought about it, if this is the case, as long as the Great Khan gives the order to withdraw the army, the order does not need to come to me, as long as the Great Khan says it in front of the generals, this is already the greatest humiliation to the Great Khan!" ”

"No matter what, you can't just withdraw your troops and let me rush and kill for a while! I'll take 5,000 men with me!" Leng Geri insisted: "When I come back, you will withdraw your troops." ”

"Okay!" Yang Guli gritted his teeth and resolutely made up his mind, anyway, thousands of brothers have already died, nothing more than a few thousand more deaths, Yang Guli is disheartened and wants to wipe his neck now.

Seeing that the eldest brother agreed to his advice, Leng Geli beckoned to the people of the headquarters: "Listen to the forwards of the headquarters, all dismount, let's take five thousand brothers to pick up the iron horse, try to snatch back all the corpses, and we can't let the corpses of our Dajin Kingdom warriors fall into the hands of the Han people!" ”

Leng Geri's subordinates agreed weakly.

From the beginning of the gathering of these people from Shengjing City, how majestic and high-spirited they were at that time, by now, they have no morale at all, and they have no idea of fighting at all.

Although it is not clear in the back, the artillery of the Ming army shook the sky, and the horses and people could be blown away as soon as they exploded, and it was an intensive bombardment.

In fact, Nurhachi already roughly knew that the artillery power of the Bao army was many times that of the Ming army, and he knew the advantages of the Bao army.

Therefore, he did not make it clear at the time that letting Yanguli charge did not mean to let Yanguli save troops.

Nurhachi was cruel.

After the rise of the Later Jin Eight Banners, Nurhachi's massacre of the people without grain in Liaodong was a policy of exterminating humanity.

People without grain are Han people who have no land, no means of livelihood, and cannot produce to support the construction of slaves.

After the Battle of Sarhu, and when he had just captured the Liaodong region, Nurhachi had declared that he would kill all the "Nikan" (Later Jin's contemptuous name for the Han Chinese), and he soon embarked on the road of killing a large number of Han people, slaughtering the people without valleys in Liaodong.

In addition to the resistance of the people of Liaodong caused by Manchuria's barbarism and hair-shaving policy, Nurhachi seems to have mediated the contradiction between man and land in Liaodong by killing people.

In the 28th year of Wanli, the population of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty was more than 2.5 million, and the population of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty may have reached 3 million at its peak.

A lower estimate also puts the population of Liaodong Dusi close to 2 million, while the population of the same area in the Yuan Dynasty was at most in the early 500,000s.

That's why President Wei was able to co-opt so many Liao people, and there were many people from Liaoxi who fled from Beizhili, Northwest, and Shandong.

President Wei has brought the population of southern Liaoning to more than 5 million, which is a miracle in itself.

The population of "96,441 households and 381,496 mouths" in the "Quanliao Chronicles" compiled by the Jiajing Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty undoubtedly seems too small.

This is naturally related to the large number of hidden household registrations of the Jiangmen clan in eastern Liaodong and western Liaoxi, but it also shows that due to the serious contradiction between man and land, the poor have little or no land, and a large number of them are attached to large households.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Liaodong Metropolitan Division had already appeared in the situation that "the guards near the city, and the fields were mostly occupied by the rich officials of the guards".

Obviously, at this time, there was a serious gap between the rich and the poor and the problem of a large number of people and a lack of land in Liaodi. In addition to military households, the number of ordinary people also increased dramatically, creating a large number of powerful families who were able to forcibly occupy land and conceal the population.

In the Wanli period, the residents and soldiers of Liaodong often had scattered records of being unable to live or fleeing due to oppression, although it showed the decline of Liaodong's business in the late Ming Dynasty, but it was indeed caused by the serious contradiction between man and land caused by population saturation.

The average temperature in the Ming Dynasty was lower than that of most feudal eras, and the temperature drop was particularly serious at the end of the Ming Dynasty, with grain production reduced and frequent famines, which aggravated the problem of contradiction between man and land.

After Nurhachi captured Guangning, Wang Zaijin said that 2 million soldiers and civilians had fled back to Shanhaiguan, which was an exaggeration, and then changed his story to more than 100,000.

With the ancient level of transportation and the topography of Liaodong, it is impossible for millions of people to migrate in a short time, so after Nurhachi captured Guangning, he calculated the death and dispersion caused by the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin massacre, and the Han population under the control of Manchuria, which occupied most of the capital of Liaodong, was still more than one million.

In 1893, Liaoning in the Qing Dynasty had a population of 4.3 million, which was the data at the beginning of the invasion of the eastern part of the country, and the average temperature at that time was much higher than that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the level of agricultural technology was much better, and high-yield drought-resistant crops such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn from the Americas had been promoted to a certain extent.

In the Xiaoice period at the end of the Ming Dynasty, with Nurhachi's vision, I am afraid that the more than one million Han people under his command are too many to manage, especially due to the gap between the rich and the poor, many of them cannot afford to pay or can only pay a small amount of taxes, and their existence cannot be effectively transformed into the war potential of the Houjin group in a short time.

Nurhachi did not have any idea of redistributing land wealth to the poor, and Nurhachi's so-called "Ji Ding and grant land" policy, although it also nominally included Han people, was in fact for the Eight Banners.

In the original history, the powerful people such as Ning Yuanzu, who defected to Jianzhou, were treated preferentially by the Jurchens, and there was a little bit of a blow to the strong.

In the ninth year of the Mandate of Heaven, on the fifth day of the first month of the first month in 1624, it was ordered to divide the people who had grain or no grain, and the edict stipulated that those who had six to seven gold buckets of grain (one gold bucket was one bucket and eight liters) of grain per person were "those who had grain". Those who have less than six or seven gold buckets, but have livestock, are also included in the number of "people with grain", and if they are not enough to survive, they are included in the number of "people without grain".

Nurhachi ordered that "the people without grain be brought into their homes and made to be aha (i.e., slaves)", and later ordered that all the "people without grain" should be slaughtered.

The barbaric and poor administration of Manchuria provoked the Han people to revolt, and it was certainly one thing that drove Nurhachi into madness. On the other hand, since the beginning of the Apocalypse, the climate has become colder and the food production has become more and more severe, and Nurhachi believes that the problem of the contradiction between man and land can be solved by violently eliminating the poor.

Later, before his death, Nurhachi even slaughtered some rich households, the former "killing the poor ghosts", and the latter "killing the rich households", in order to free up more land for the Eight Banners to cultivate.

Under Nurhachi's brutal massacre, the population of Liaodong was decimated. However, his Malthusian ideas did not stabilize Liaodong, on the contrary, famine was frequent, prices soared, and even "cannibalism", and Nurhachi in his later years to the early years of Huang Taiji, and later Jin also had the defeat of Ning Yuan and Ning Jin.

Therefore, Nurhachi is not afraid of the dead, nor is he afraid of large-scale attrition of troops.

After Huang Taiji's defeat in southern Liaoning, Nurhachi thought of many ways to deal with the treasure army.
