War is like this, it is morale, the troops with high morale are often brave and tenacious, and those with low morale will flee at the slightest setback. Due to the corruption of the military system at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the collapse of finances, the treatment of the army was extremely poor, and ordinary soldiers often could not even fill their stomachs. The Manchu Tartars lived in a bitter cold land, and their output was simply not enough for their consumption, and they could only survive through continuous looting, so their desire to fight was much stronger than that of the Ming army.

Therefore, for more than 20 years, the two armies have fought countless times, and the Ming army has never lost more than won less. And the victories again and again made the Manchu Tartars have a strong psychological advantage in the face of the Ming army, and the morale of the war is even higher, while the Ming army is just the opposite, the defeat after defeat makes the elite soldiers exhausted, and the face of the Manchu Tartars does not dare to fight at all, and the slightest setback is to flee from the wind, and few Ming troops can fight to the death without retreating.

However, today, inspired by the defeat of the Manchu offensive by the Xishan Army, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen actually had a rare courage to fight, and the cavalry under his two were well-trained soldiers, and the individual combat power was not under the Manchu Tartars.

It turns out that the Mantars are also people, and the invincible Eight Banners are not made of iron and steel, and when there is no hope of victory, they will also flee......

Looking at the back of the Mantar cavalry fleeing in the wilderness, Tang Tong couldn't help but wave his fists.

"Old Tang, chase and kill!" Bai Guangen hit his horse and shouted loudly.

Tang Tong's mood was agitated, and he subconsciously wanted to lead the troops to chase and kill, but after thinking about it, he held back.

"Take it when you see it, don't look back and fall into the ambush of the Tartars, today's battle achievements are enough for us to share!" Tang Tong pretended to be calm.

Looking back at the corpses of people and horses all over the battlefield, Bai Guangen nodded in agreement, it seems that there are at least three or four hundred full of Tartar corpses on the battlefield, and the two of them can each share more than a hundred heads, the credit is already very large, and there is really no need to chase and kill again. In fact, if you want to chase and kill, you can't chase and kill, because at this moment, the subordinates of the two are competing for the head of the Tartar on the battlefield, the head represents the reward for merit, not to mention the armor on the corpse of the Tartar, the property in the arms, and the war horse left on the battlefield.

"Stop, this Mantar was chopped off the horse by Lao Tzu, and the head and property should belong to me!" A Ming cavalryman belonging to Tang Tong's subordinates shouted.

"It's yours, should you call him or not?" Another Ming soldier was Bai Guangen's subordinate, who sneered and cut off the head of the full tartar under his feet and tied the head to the saddle.

"Fuck, you dare to rob Lao Tzu of the credit!" Tang Tongbu's cavalry suddenly stopped, and rushed over with a fist, and the two immediately fought together.

"This ......" Tang Tong and Bai Guangen, who were talking, closed their mouths and looked at the situation on the battlefield in surprise.

"Go and give the order, let them all fucking stop Lao Tzu!" Tang Tong's face was a little unbearable, and he ordered the guards around him, Mantar had not gone too far, and his own side was competing for military merits, and he felt embarrassed to think about it.

Bai Guangen also passed down the generals and ordered his cavalry not to fight.

"Lao Bai, you see that this matter is making trouble, it's all my own brothers fighting for it, it's not interesting, why don't we discuss it one by one and divide the credit!" Don channel. When the battle began, it was so chaotic that it was impossible to tell who had killed the Mantars.

"Well, the first level here, let's add two to five." Bai Guangen said briskly. The armies of the two are about the same, and it is reasonable to divide the credit equally.

"I'm afraid it's not good, and Lord Chen!" Tang Tong shook his head and pointed to the Xishan Military Road that led the army in the distance.

"Then divide the three equally!" Bai Guangen said. Although the army of the two is much more than Chen, but this battle would not have been won by the Xishan Army without the Xishan Army thwarting the first round of the Manchu Tartar offensive, so the first merit must be that of the Xishan Army, and Tang Tong and the others have no face to rob no matter how thick-skinned they are. Besides, the Xishan Army also captured some heads, and it was fair that all the three heads were divided equally.

"The three are divided equally?" Chen Yue thought for a moment and nodded, "I have no opinion." He led the follow-up chariots to arrive, the battle was over, and the soldiers of the Tang and Bai armies who had reached an agreement were cleaning the battlefield, and everything was so harmonious.

Tang Tong and Bai Guangen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that Chen Yue would not be happy.

"There are four hundred and twenty-three heads seized, and each family is one hundred and forty-one if divided equally." In the Tang Passage, all the heads of the full Tartars have been collected and filled with two carts.

"One hundred and forty-one full Tartar heads!" Little stars popped up in Bai Guangen's eyes. He has been in the army for more than 20 years, fought countless battles, and became a general soldier, but he has never made such a meritorious contribution. There have been dozens of battles with the Manchurians, not to mention a hundred heads, and even ten have never been captured!

"With so many heads, you should be able to seal a general!" Tang Tong said hopefully. Although the two of them are both general soldiers of one side, they do not have the title of general on their bodies, and if they are hung as a general, like Zuo Liangyu, the general of the Ping Thief, they can really be called a warlord, and their status is very different.

"Is a general satisfied? What if it's an earl? Chen Yue said with a smile.

"Earl? Unlikely! Tang Tong said deliciously, now is not the period when the Nanming titles are flooded, the titles of the imperial court are extremely strictly controlled, and they are named earls, and the two of them dare not think about it.

"Everything is possible, as long as the two chief soldiers are as brave and loyal to the court as they are today, what is an earl?" Chen Yue said. Like Liu Zeqing's generation, he later mixed an earl, if these two did not surrender to the Mantar and be loyal to the Ming family, there would be no problem at all in obtaining the title of earl or even marquis.

"Cheng Chen's auspicious words!" Tang Tong arched his hand. For Chen Yue, his attitude is very different from the past, the strong combat power of the Xishan Army makes him have to admire, and if there is no Xishan Army, he will definitely be another rout today, where is there such a hearty victory, so he hides gratitude while admiring Chen Yue.

"The Xishan Army was newly created, and Lord Chen took a fancy to these captures, although it is good to take them!" Tang Tong said generously, in addition to the head, hundreds of pieces of armor were also captured, bows, arrows, guns, knives, firearms, all kinds of weapons, and even the intact war horses had more than a hundred horses, according to the previous agreement, these seizures were naturally divided equally among the three families, in order to thank Chen Yue, Tang Tong was willing to give up part of the spoils.

"Lord Chen's ability I admire very much, you can take these things!" Bai Guangen also said angrily.

To tell the truth, the Xishan Army is now in dire need of weapons and equipment, after all, many township soldiers don't even have serious weapons now, and they use bamboo spears as weapons. But Chen Yue knew that he couldn't take these things for nothing.

"In this way, I will only keep more than thirty of the captured heads, and the remaining hundred will be given to the two general soldiers in exchange for these things." Chen Yue thought about it and proposed.

"Ah, what's so embarrassing about this?" Tang Tong and Bai Guangen glanced at each other and couldn't help but be overjoyed. For the two of them, this bit of loot is really not in their eyes, after all, there is a general army of the garrison, the family is big, the two of them each have their own territory, and their lives are much better than those of the Xishan army. Weapons and equipment are easy to obtain, but the full Tartar head is too difficult to obtain.

"That's it!" Chen Yue said with a smile, everyone takes what they need, and everyone is happy! 2.
