Zhu Linmiao was sitting on the saddle, watching those sluggish captives rush out of the enemy camp.

The imaginary hard battle did not appear, and the battle ended at the solstice, and the main force of the Dragon Guard and the Broken Battalion had already started to eat breakfast at this time, leaving only a small team of men and horses to continue cleaning the battlefield.

More than an hour ago, more than 10 cannons of the Longwei artillery began to bombard the east side of the Qing army's camp.

The walls of the field barracks are all made of wood, and the middle of the wall is nailed with a horizontal board, on which the soldiers stand and shoot outward for defense. Although the field artillery of the Dragon Guard had no way to deal with the masonry wall, it was too easy to deal with the wooden wall.

Especially the nine-pounder cannon newly equipped by the Long Wei Army this time, every time it fired, the big iron ball weighing more than eight catties kicked off sawdust, leaving a huge hole in the wall of the Qing army's wall.

The only three remaining guns of Jianyu only fired back symbolically, and they were suppressed by the dense and accurate artillery fire of the Dragon Guard.

The shelling lasted only two quarters of an hour, and a gap of more than ten zhang wide was blasted out on the east side of the Qing army's camp.

Erdenbu saw that the camp could not be supported, so he took the last thousands of Qing soldiers in the camp to make a last stand. Unexpectedly, as soon as his men and horses poked their heads out of the camp, they were confronted with two rounds of shells, and immediately retreated with a wolf howl.

At the same time, under the command of Zhu Linmiao, Gu Yanwu led 1,500 soldiers from the Broken Camp to the south side of the enemy camp. In order to ensure the speed of the march, he only brought seven relatively light No. 1 Frankie guns, although the shells of these cannons weighed only a pound, but they were still more than enough to blast open the wooden gates.

Gu Yanwu heard the sound of the cannon of the Dragon Guard on the east side, and he also ordered the cannon to be fired. He had already chosen the weakest part of the wall, and after only thirty or forty shots, the wooden wall made of thin planks collapsed, and he immediately swung his army in.

The main forces of Jianyu were all transferred to the east side, and Gu Yanwu only had more than 100 enemy troops to defend on his side, and he almost entered the Boluo camp without blood.

There was a shortage of food in the Qing army camp, and the morale was not high, and it collapsed after not holding out for a moment under these two attacks.

Bolo knew that he was in the hinterland of Fujian and could not escape, so he led his hundreds of Eight Banner soldiers to resist for a while in the middle of the camp, but he was soon surrounded by the superior forces of the broken battalion, and shot more than a dozen rounds from a distance with a heavy bird gun of 11 yuan, and the whole army was annihilated.

Soon, the Zhu family brother came to report the battle situation to Zhu Linmiao.

In the first battle of Nanping, more than 6,700 prisoners were captured, more than 3,000 were beheaded, and more than 1,000 captives fled, and Tie Dake led the cavalry to pursue.

The Dragon Guards and the Broken Prisoners killed a total of 31 people and wounded more than 40 people. In last night's battle, miraculously not a single person was killed, and only six or seven soldiers were wounded, which was basically caused by the horses' hoofs during the night.

"My lord, there are less than 3,000 thieves in the enemy camp, as the captives said." Brother Zhu continued, "And there is almost no grain and grass in the camp, so it should have been taken away. In order to confuse me, the prisoner did not remove the military tent, and ordered him to burn several stoves every time he had a meal. Therefore, watching from a distance, there are always tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here. ”

As he was talking, he saw Tie Dake with a team of cavalry coming straight from the north, turned over and dismounted, and saluted Zhu Linmiao with a happy face, "My subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, and they have captured the head of the thief!" ”

Subsequently, a soldier escorted several Jianyu wearing bright cotton armor over, and kicked several people the crook of the leg, making them kneel in front of Zhu Linmiao.

"Your Highness," Tie Dake pointed to a middle-aged man at the front, who was a little thin, "This dog thief is Bolo," he gestured to the people behind, "and his henchmen Erdenbu, Zhao Xi and others. ”

When Bo Luo heard him call Zhu Linmiao "Your Highness", he immediately struggled to raise his head, looked up and down, and said loudly: "You are the King Chen who took my Xianxia Pass?" ”

He saw that Zhu Linmiao ignored him, but suddenly laughed and said, "King Chen? Ha ha! I'm not afraid to tell you that Imbele had led his army west overnight as early as May 26, when Renshou had passed. ”

He knew that the Ming army would learn about it from the captured officers, so he did not hide it, and said arrogantly: "My army has passed through the Shanguan Pass to get grain and grass, and it will come back again in a moment, and it will be like a horse stepping on grass!" ”

He snorted again, "I advise you to serve General Haoben carefully, and when Imbele orders my warriors to massacre Fuzhou, if I am in a good mood, I may be able to make you and others slaves in front of my tent, and you can save a small life......"

Zhu Linmiao frowned, turned his head to Tie Dake and said, "Mr. Tie Qian has made a great contribution this time, and he has done a good job. ”

Tie Dake hurriedly bowed his hand and said humbly: "Your Highness has won the award." ”

Zhu Linmiao said again: "Tie Qian can always determine the identity of this person?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, my subordinates have ordered dozens of prisoners to check it repeatedly, and there will be no mistake."

Zhu Linmiao nodded, looked at Bolo, and said indifferently to Shi Lin: "Drag it down, cut it." ”

"Yes!" Shi Lin saluted and turned around, letting the two soldiers pick up Bolo and leave.

Bolo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to be so sparing, and shouted at the moment: "I am the Great Qing Gushan Beile, the general of the Qin Dynasty to conquer the south, you dare to ...... Whew-"

The last sound was Shi Lin's big hand like iron pincers pinching his neck.

Zhang Jiayu thought for a while, leaned over to Zhu Linmiao's side and bowed his hand and whispered: "My lord, this Bolo is a puppet clan member of Jianyu, and it may be useful to leave a living mouth." ”

"Yuanzi's concern is good," Zhu Linmiao watched his soldiers press Bolo to the ground and did not stop him, "If he is in the time, he should stay and use up his value." But right now, the living Bolo is in some trouble, just use his head. ”

As the sound of the blade breaking the bones entered his ears, Shi Lin took Bolo's head and came over, "Your Highness, the thief has been ambushed." ”

"Immediately send a five-hundred-mile fast horse to send Boluo's head to Shaowu Mansion." Zhu Linmiao glanced at the bloody head and instructed Zhang Jiayu to say, "All counties and garrisons along the way will stop for a while, and it is rumored that our army will break the main force of Jianyu in Yanping and behead Bolo, the general of the puppet expedition to the south." The remnants of the captive army were panicked like lost dogs, and fled to Shaowu in a panic, and our army was following closely to pursue them. ”

He waited for Zhang Jiayu to write them down one by one, and then continued, "There must be no mistake in ordering Yanping and all the Ming troops in Shaowu Mansion to stop the enemy from fleeing in their respective defense areas." There is merit in destroying captives, and passively being punished. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Jiayu's eyes lit up, "Your Highness's plan is very clever!"

"Since the captives are stealing beams and changing pillars, everyone in Fujing thinks that the main force of the captives is in Yanping, and Bolo is the head of the thieves. Now that Yanping is established, Bolo has been killed, and the people who were at both ends of the first rat before, looking forward to the future, will not dare to wait and see anymore, and will fight to resist the capture.

"There are no less than 20,000 Ming troops north of Yanping and Shaowu Mansion, and if they don't ask them to intercept the serfs, they will harass them from the side, and they can also greatly delay the speed of the thief army going west.

Although Azig took all the grain and grass with Jianyu, it was still limited after all, as long as he was allowed to cross the Shanguan Pass later, or he would have run out of food and collapsed. ”
