Chapter 1008: Uncovering the Scars

Zhu Jie gave an order, the Ming army began to launch the final siege towards the Qing army, the two Beijing battalions plus the elite of the Tianwei army, squeezed up the Qing army from all directions, not to mention that the Ming army is now like a rainbow, the strength exceeds the Qing army, just 9,000 muskets, enough for the Qing army in the encirclement to drink a pot.

In two hours, in just two hours, under the powerful offensive of the Ming army, the Manchurian elite cavalry, which was already in a state of despair, completely collapsed, both physically and mentally! A cluster of cavalry died under the attack of the Ming army, and finally couldn't stand it, and the Manchurian elite cavalry began to dismount and surrender, since it was hopeless to rush out, it was better to save your life first and then say, surrender!

Two hours later, the dust settled, Tan Tai and Wu Sangui only led five or six thousand people to break through the encirclement and fled for their lives to the north, and the rest of the Qing army was either killed in battle, or captured and surrendered, and the battlefield was full of corpses and mourning.

It was already completely dark, Zhu Jie did not dare to relax, and ordered the army to place the Manchurian horses and soldiers separately, collect all weapons, and clean up the battlefield.

It lasted until the early morning of the next day, when the war was completely over, a big battle, countless soldiers were killed and wounded, nearly 20,000 Qing troops were killed, nearly 20,000 were wounded and captured, and thousands of cavalry followers Tan Tai and Wu Sangui fought their way out of the siege and fled to Suqian.

As for the seized materials, it was even more, all the 40 artillery pieces of the Qing army were captured by the Ming army, more than 20,000 shells were captured, 50,000 stone of military rations, hundreds of carts of horse material, hundreds of armor, knives and guns, in addition, there were nearly 20,000 war horses, and the harvest was so rich that it was really the largest since the start of the war.

Of course, in this battle, the casualties of the Ming army were not small, the ferocity of the Manchurian elite cavalry was really not covered, Zhu Jie and the Jingying army of Cha Bolt added together nearly 50,000 people, since Zhu Jie arrived in Huai'an, the casualties have exceeded more than 10,000 people, as for the Tianwei Army, the Tianwei Army of more than 20,000 people led by Song Jiaxing is now able to fight only more than 10,000 troops, and the casualties are more than half, and the Tianwei Army has suffered such heavy losses for the first time. Even when the elite of the second town encountered Liu Zeqing's rebellion and was attacked by the Qing army in Dongchang Mansion, they did not suffer such heavy losses, and Azig was able to force the Tianwei army to this point, and he was indeed worthy of a generation of famous generals.

Zhu Jie ordered the army to repair in nearby Lianshui County for two days, and then prepare for the Northern Expedition.

Lianshui County, county government.

Zhu Jie sat upright in the middle of the yamen, flanked by generals from various ministries, as for the current magistrate of Lianshui County, there was only the share of serving tea and pouring water, and a map was hung above the lobby.

"Check the bolt, tell me about the current situation in Jingying!"

Cha Xuan said in a deep voice: "Emperor Qi, after the battle of Xianxialing and the battle of Huai'an, the soldiers of the Beijing camp have basically been trained, although they cannot be compared with the Tianwei Army and the three towns of Nanjing, but they are not weaker than other elites, and the most important thing is that the successive victories have injected strong self-confidence into them, look at Xia Wanchun, this kid, who has swelled a little bit in the past two days, is already the mentality of Lao Tzu the first in the world......"

"Brother Cha!"

Xia Wanchun's face on the side was green, and he stabbed himself first, specially, it's too inhumane, when he first trained, he tortured himself a lot, and now he is still torturing......

Zhu Jie glanced at Xia Wanchun and snorted coldly: "Useless things, you still have a lot to learn from these brothers on the battlefield, not to mention anything else, when the Manchurian elite cavalry launched a counterattack against the musket battalion, why were you stupid?" See how Yang Chengzu coped? Look at you? ”

Xia Wanchun's face turned red, and he snorted: "What the emperor said is that when the minister first came to the battle array, he was nervous, and some of them were at a loss......

"Hey, kid, it's okay!"

Zhao Zhenghang smiled: "How old are you kid?" It's not even seventeen years old this year, when you were seventeen years old, you still bought tofu at home, compared to you, one in the sky and one in the ground, and when you live another three or five years, your big brother will only be trampled under your feet......"

Cha Xuan's face turned dark, and he said angrily: "Zhao Zhenghang, you don't speak on a dog day, no one treats you as a dumb person!" ”

"Hehe, is Lao Tzu wrong? When you were seventeen years old, didn't you buy tofu in Henan? You were recruited into the army by Inspector Sun when you were eighteen years old, and when you were twenty years old, you were favored by the emperor and transferred to his personal guard camp......

Zhao Zhenghang gloated and exposed the old bottom of the investigation, anyway, the war is over, it is the time to be happy, and it is really cool to expose the shortcomings of the old investigation among the brothers......

"Lao Zhao, hehe, others don't know you, don't Lao Tzu know?"

Cha Xuan sneered: "Yes, I was a tofu seller when I was as old as Xia Wanchun, but I was better than you kid, right?" Have you forgotten that you just joined the first battle of the army? Dog, I'm so scared that I pee my pants, do you dare to say you don't? The two of us are in a small flag, can you hide it from Lao Tzu? ”

The knife was stabbed too hard, the two brothers joined the army together, and they were selected by Zhu Jie together, and they stayed together for the longest time, so they almost wore a pair of pants, so naturally they couldn't hide anything from each other.

Forehead......

Even Zhu Jie was stunned for a while, and randomly erupted into uncontrollable laughter.

"Haha, hahaha......"

Zhu Jie laughed and said: "Damn, Zhao Zhenghang, it's really hard for you to hide it, I've been with me for so many years, if it weren't for the old man who always investigated you, I still wouldn't know that you had such an experience, haha......"

Everyone else also laughed wildly, and even Xia Wanchun couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dare to laugh, he was trained by Zhao Zhenghang, and if he dared to laugh, Zhao Zhenghang would pick up a layer of skin on him.

"Lao Cha, you shit, didn't you say that you won't leak this matter until you die? Lao Tzu fought with you today! ”

Zhao Zhenghang's face was as red as an eggplant, and he jumped over and grabbed Cha Bolt's neck, swaying back and forth.

"Let go, let go, cough cough, pinch again, Lao Tzu will be strangled to death by you, cough cough ......"

Cha Xuan was happy to visit, but he was strangled by Zhao Zhenghang's neck, his face turned red, and he rolled his eyes.

"Alright, don't make a fuss!"

Song Jiaxing on the side shouted, "Emperor Qi, now that Azig has been killed, the East Route Army has been completely abolished, the minister asks the emperor to return to Nanjing City, and the rest of the matter will be led by the minister to the north, now there is only one strong enemy left in Duoduo, there is a sail with Inspector Sun, Duoduo can't turn the sky, there are no eyes on the battlefield, you have already been injured once, the ministers don't dare to let you take risks again......"
