Just when the Liaodong generals were speechless when Yang Feng asked, a sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a cavalry general who was bloodied in an instant rode his horse to the generals, and the general jumped off his horse and gave a military salute to Yang Feng and Sun Chengzong, and said loudly: "Qiyu Marquis, Governor, Yang Daniu, the commander of the cavalry of the last general, reports to you, and most of the Mongolian yellow flags that have been invaded will be annihilated at the end of the year, and I am here to pay the order!" ”

"Annihilation?"

The generals of Liaodong, who were still stunned by Yang Feng's question, were all shocked, and many people showed doubts on their faces.

Zu Dashou looked at Yang Daniu who came to report with some suspicion, judging from the armor and clothing on his body, he should be a guerrilla general, and he asked: "If this official heard correctly, what you just said was annihilation, not defeat or defeat?" ”

Yang Daniu replied: "The general heard it right, it is indeed annihilation!" ”

Zu Dashou stared at him closely: "How many people have been annihilated?" ”

Yang Daniu replied without hesitation: "In addition to the more than 100 people who escaped, a total of 2,356 people were annihilated!" The battlefield is not far from here, so if you have any questions, you can go and count the number of people yourself. ”

Hearing this, all the generals in Liaodong stopped talking, and the people had already talked about this, who really wanted to count the number of people in person, this was Chiguoguo's slap in the face. Anyway, there will be a prison guard and a special person who registers the merits of the war to verify the results of the battle, and they can't be guilty of this evil person.

"Annihilated 2,356 enemies in a battle, he really deserves to be a tiger general!" Sun Chengzong praised on the side.

Yang Daniu did not show any success, but said honestly: "The governor has won the prize, at the end of this battle, three thousand cavalry battalions were mobilized, and another five thousand infantry battalions were mobilized to cooperate with the battle, plus those Mongolian Tartars were too reckless, and they actually put one head into the pocket of our army, so that the battle could end so quickly."

In the past, it would have been almost impossible to annihilate thousands of cavalry so easily. ”

"Hmm!"

Hearing Yang Daniu say this, many Liaodong generals nodded slightly.

This is a normal operation, to be honest, Yang Daniu's words just now frightened them.

A group of thousands of cavalry was actually annihilated by them in less than three quarters of an hour, which was really beyond their imagination.

You must know that the advantage of cavalry is speed, even if you can't beat them, you can run, Yang Daniu, even if they are immortals, it is impossible for them to eliminate thousands of cavalry in such a short time, right? But if the other party happens to break into their pockets, that's a different story.

A cavalryman who has lost his speed is no different from a lamb to the slaughter in front of the infantry and cavalry that have long been prepared.

The minds of the Liaodong generals who were relieved also began to liven up, judging from the current situation, the strength of the Jiangning Army has become stronger anyway.

In the current situation, the stronger the friendly army, the better it is for them, even if it is a certain price, as long as the Manchu Qing Tartars can be destroyed, these costs are not impossible to pay.

And for them, this is probably also the last chance, and after the Manchu Tartars are destroyed, they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to make military exploits again, and it will be better if they don't take the opportunity to make meritorious contributions at this time.

You must know that although the Ming Dynasty implemented the policy of using literature and military force, at the same time, the reward for military merits was also the heaviest.

In front of him is a living example, five years ago, Yang Feng was just a small Qianzong, but now he has been promoted to the Marquis of Jiangning, who commands tens of thousands of troops, and his status is even higher than that of Sun Chengzong, the emperor, which is the benefit of military exploits.

Thinking of this, many people's eyes lit up......

Perhaps it was the results of the annihilation of more than 2,000 Mengbaqi that stimulated everyone, and the morale of the generals of Liaodong became high again, and Zhao Shujiao even took the initiative to ask Sun Chengzong and Yang Feng to serve as the forward.

For such a request, Yang Feng and Sun Chengzong naturally would not object, and they approved it.

10th year of the Apocalypse, February 26th

The army had marched less than a hundred miles from the Black Sand Ridge.

At this time, the army was very cautious, and the 3,000 cavalry led by Zhao Shuojiao, who was the vanguard, and the 1st cavalry battalion of Yang Daniu, which was responding on the left flank, were less than 40 miles apart.

And Yang Daniu's cavalry was less than thirty miles away from most of the Chinese army.

The various teams are connected by cavalry, so that once there is something between the various departments, they can arrive in the shortest possible time, and even if they encounter several times the strong enemy surprise attack, the various departments can at least support until the reinforcements arrive.

On the official road, a group of sergeants with various accents walked on the land of Liaodong, each army had a lot of baggage in their vehicles, and behind most of the Chinese army, there were countless people, transporting grain and straw materials. Donkey carts, horse-drawn carts, mule carts, rickshaws, and even wheelbarrows are all too dense to mean.

Approaching the enemy-occupied area, the military situation in front has also been changed to report once an hour, and from time to time on the road you can see the night with a small red flag behind and all kinds of flags hanging on the flag and chess and card hall galloping horses, and the place where they pass is full of chickens and dogs, whether it is an ordinary sergeant or a general general, they all have to take the initiative to avoid it, otherwise the military law is not vegetarian.

At mid-afternoon, Zhao reported that they had approached less than twenty miles from the Black Sand Ridge, and had been intercepted and harassed by the Manchu Tartars and the Mongol Eight Banner sentinels, but they were all defeated by them, and seventeen heads were captured.

And Yang Feng Da Niu also sent someone to report that they encountered an interception by the Manchu Qing Dynasty with a blue flag on the left flank, and to their surprise, the other party actually used firearms when intercepting.

After receiving the information, Yang Feng attached great importance to it, and immediately found Sun Chengzong, who was discussing with the generals, and reported this information to him.

Sun Chengzong was silent after listening to Yang Feng's narration, and the generals in the big tent also showed solemn expressions.

For a long time, the reason why the Jiangning army was able to defeat the Manchu army led by Nurhachi and Huang Taiji in succession was because of the well-trained army and the sophisticated firearms in their hands, which was also one of the reasons why the Ming army had been able to maintain high morale.

If the Manchus also had firearms, then the advantage of the Ming army would no longer exist, so it would be difficult to say whether the war would have been won or lost.

After a while, Sun Chengzong asked, "Jiang Ninghou, is this news reliable?" ”

"Reliable!"

"So ......"

Sun Chengzong looked at Yang Feng and said, "Jiang Ninghou, you are an expert in playing with firearms, and the Tartars now also have firearms, will it have a big impact on this war?" ”

Yang Feng thought for a while before saying: "Ben Hou doesn't know, but firearms are not easy to make, even if the Tartars can create some firearms, but the number is not too much, and the power cannot be compared with our army, so the governor doesn't have to worry about this." As for the rest, we can only find out when we arrive in Matsuyama. ”

"That's good!"

After listening to Yang Feng's words, many of the generals of the Liaodong Army who were originally worried looked better.
