To the north of Puli County, the win came easily.

After a battle with the enemy army besieging the city for more than a month, the left battalion of Makino pursued the first lead into the main camp, so that the enemy army had no time to take away the grain and grass and baggage, and forced the enemy to be deceived and defeated by the enemy army could only bypass the main camp and flee eastward.

"Why do they run east and not west?"

In the Chinese military tent, looking at the ornaments and luxurious ornaments that the earl brought when he went out to avoid the plague, Ying Ming asked his subordinates about the general flag.

He saw that the cavalry banner chasing the enemy had a glove that had disappeared, and his hands were covered with dried and coagulated blood: "We have seen the enemy in the west, they have hundreds of men over there, and they can completely re-establish the defensive line - there are basins, wash your hands." ”

"Do they have more troops in the east?"

The chief flag officer of the cavalry shook his head, and said while washing his hands in a silver basin painted with religious patterns: "General, they are not hundreds of people in the west, and the people who tortured the captives have learned that they are stationed in Leitou Township with more than a thousand troops, and before the battle, several nobles who thought that this was not a good time to start the war also led their troops to the west. ”

"Now there are at least 1,200 enemy troops in Leitou Township, and it is possible to get reinforcements from the nobles from the west; As for why the rout fled eastward, it may be because they thought that many nobles had fled eastward, and there was a queen of Tuyi there to help. ”

Compared with other Beiyang Banner Army, Ying Ming's army is more difficult in terms of self-awareness, they have dual official positions, and under the dual official positions, they derive different identities in the face of different people.

In the Beiyang system, they are the hundred households, the general banner, the small banner and the banner army, and in the Ailan Kingdom, they have become the commanders and the generals of the thousand households, even the ordinary Beiyang cavalry has the identity of the lord of the hundred households in that land.

High status and high treatment make them look down on the world outside the Ming Dynasty.

"Send scouts to see them, and receive the news of the defeat of the siege, what will they do?"

Ying Ming put these things aside with a smile, crossed his arms and asked intently: "Have you counted the war profits, equipment and salt, Li Yuxi asked me for salt, if the salt in the camp is not enough, I will take the captured nobles to find the English people for salt." ”

Armor is the most important thing, plate armor, armor, chain mail, it doesn't matter what kind of armor it is, Ying Ming thinks that this counteroffensive battle is a good proof of the fighting courage of the Makino army, and he must equip every soldier under his command with protection.

It doesn't matter if the armor is the best or not, the most important thing is that there is no armor.

Even a heavily armed plate armor warrior would still be killed, and a soldier wearing chain mail would have a chance of surviving, and in Ying Ming's military education, the veteran was the most important figure in the army, and a veteran who had participated in many battles on the battlefield could inspire the courage of ten recruits around him.

Ying Minggang raised his own question, looked at the untouched furnishings in the earl's military tent, and felt that this was funny, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Bring everything into the city, go to the city to count the supplies, the naval battle is still going on, divide the troops to guard the main road, and we will go back to the city to visit the wounded soldiers." ”

Before the start of the war, Puli County made sufficient preparations, nearly 800 beds for wounded soldiers were placed in the open space under the city wall, and a battalion put the general troops and a dozen ship doctors under the city to prepare to deal with the wounded soldiers, they were not as professional as the Beiyang military doctors, but some were better than nothing.

There were many wounded soldiers in the 3rd Battalion of Makino, especially the right battalion, which was directly attacked and trampled by heavy cavalry, and by the end of the battle, 63 soldiers had died before they could hold out to the end, and they closed the 2nd Battalion on the left and center, and 110 were killed.

Looking at this number alone, they won a big victory; But this was only the first number of casualties, and many more battle-wounded soldiers would die from blood loss, wound treatment, etc., plus the soldiers who were permanently discharged due to wounds, Ying Ming felt that the losses of his men would reach the strength of a battalion.

This battalion is a battalion in the Ming Dynasty, with four outposts and one battalion, and four hundred people.

However, he did not plan to abolish the establishment of the right battalion of Makino, and also planned to organize the three battalions participating in the battle into one town according to the habits of the Miao people, and draw troops from other Makino's battalions to supplement them as the main force in the next battle.

Coming out of the tent, the order had been conveyed, and the unwounded soldiers of each battalion were driven to the battalion to transport supplies to the battalion by the battalion commander in general, and the enemy was unable to take most of the wounded soldiers with them during the rout, and with the surrender of the living mouth on the battlefield, forty-four were taken prisoner, and one thousand three hundred and thirty were taken prisoner.

It was almost time to catch up with the total number of Ying Ming who participated in the battle, and they had a total of three Muye battalions, one merchant artillery battalion, two hundred heavy cavalry, and a total of 1,800 troops.

By the way, there are more than 100 merchant musketeers under the tunnel, they first killed more than 100 people who led to the city, and then dragged more than 300 people in the enemy camp.

In the end, the two ends were corpses, and they couldn't come up if they wanted to, and they were almost blocked inside, but thanks to the armor guards who collected the booty, they moved the corpses from the tunnel to collect their armor, weapons and belongings, which moved the tunnel and let them see the light of day again.

At first, he rushed out of the tunnel to defend the house, but after being besieged, the Muye soldiers were reluctant to attack, and he couldn't get out, so he couldn't lead a dozen surviving men to return down the tunnel, only to find that the tunnel was blocked by the corpses of reinforcements, otherwise it was easy to move a gap and immediately be suppressed by muskets, and he was so frightened that he retreated.

When he had completed this repeated jump, the battle outside the city was over, and he was disheartened and surrendered under the persuasion of the Alan horsemen who had come to surrender.

After the battle, it was time for Li Yuxi to fulfill his promise, although the naval battle was still going on, but since Du Kelu led the Jinjiang ship into the sea, the overall situation of this water battle had been decided, and now all that remained was to surround the enemy ships to see when they surrendered.

After all, it was really thankless to sink the Galen ship with artillery, and the shells washed the deck and the mast were broken, and there was nothing to do but surrender to the enemy.

Li Yuxi's promise was to return the bodies of all the fallen soldiers to Makino, so he needed salt to embalm the fallen soldiers - he was probably the last person in the entire campaign who wanted the Makino camp to be killed or wounded.

Earl Charles, who was knocked off his horse by a spear and then surrendered by the infantry, was then tortured by the Ming army, who thought that the Ming army would force him to ask for some important military information or offer him an unacceptable ransom price.

Of course, it is also possible that these brutal people who have no ransom habit will kill him directly, but he didn't expect that the first question Ming Jun asked him was to ask him in jerky words: "How much salt do you think your nobleman is worth?" ”
