Li Rusong finished the fight soon.

It was completely wiped out, and only a few hundred people ran away, and all the others were surrounded by Li Rusong. The Liaodong Army had not fought a war happily since its war. This time, Li Rusong fought very happily, and as he fought, he defeated all the Beilu. He didn't even feel anything, he just felt that he was fighting very happily.

After the death, according to statistics, Li Rusong beheaded more than 2,100 people in one battle, and nearly 30,000 northern capitulations were wiped out. Thousands of stones of grain in the camp were seized by the Ming army, and more than 3,000 military horses and more than 7,000 dead horses and injured horses were seized.

Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered the dead horse to be cooked, the injured horses were killed and the meat could not be wasted, and then all the food in the Beilu military camp was used for himself. Those big chariots and other things were urgently needed by the Ming army, and supplies were prepared for the troops that were about to divide the troops from two groups.

During this period, Xiao Ruxun held the last military meeting before the division of the troops and told him all the things he was worried about.

"This time, General Chai and General Dong's advance were the Khukou, which was a very important pass. The Ming Dynasty used this as an exit for several northern expeditions, so this is also the Ming fortress known to the Northern Lu. This time, the defense line of Datong fell open, and several tribes of the Northern Lu went south. It is hard to say that no other tribes would take advantage of the troubled waters after that.

Therefore, General Chai and General Dong faced a large number of Beilu. Perhaps there were particularly combat-capable tribes, and there were probably a large number of people. You should pay special attention. I repeat again. You must not divide the troops to fight, absolutely not!"

Chai Guozhu and Dong Yiyuan held their fists and agreed: "I will obey the order!"

"Well, then next is the journey between me and General Li. Our journey is the main force, but the mission is equally important. What we are going to is not only Datong City, but also Yanghe City. This should be the place where the Beilu attacks. We must not slacken. If we encounter the Beilu's main force, we should fight with caution.

More importantly, along the way, we must take good care of food, because we may encounter many refugees. When we encounter refugees, the army can give them certain food rations and then let them go south. However, if we encounter malicious clamor for robbing the army of food, no matter who it is, we will kill them!"

Xiao Ruxun's last sentence was murderous.

All the generals were in awe.

"promise!"

In the afternoon, the army ate a meal of horse meat rice and horse meat soup again, and was full and warm all over. After a short rest, the army set out. Seventy thousand Ming troops were divided into two groups. Chai Guozhu and Dong Yiyuan led 30,000 troops out of Mayi, and Xiao Ruxun and Li Rusong led 40,000 troops to Shanyin.

The Datong counterattack officially began. According to Xiao Ruxun’s request, the army had to communicate with each other every day. Every time they arrived at a strategic place, they had to communicate with the other party, report on the arrival, date, grain reserves and combat situation, as well as the surrounding environment of the terrain.

Send a considerable number of cavalry and whistle cavalry to ensure smooth communication between the two sides. If there is no way to communicate with each other for more than three days, it means something is wrong.

No matter which side something happens, the problem is very serious.

Now, it depends on how many northern captives there are in Datong.

Mei Guozhen and Ma Gui, are they still safe?

Xiao Ruxun didn't know and didn't dare to speculate.

But he knew very well that no good fruit was eaten after this war. The biggest bitter fruit had been swallowed by Wang Shiyang, but someone would have to swallow the remaining small bitter fruit, otherwise who would bear such a huge loss and public anger?

Xiao Ruxun lamented the experiences of these two old friends.

On the first day of March 26, the 26th year of Wanli, Xiao Ruxun led his troops to Shanyin. The county town of Shanyin was destroyed and the entire county town was like a ghost realm, and no one could see it. But it was normal. After all, it was the main road that the Northern Lu attacked Yanmen Pass, and it was conceivable that it was flattened by the Northern Lu.

The broken cities, destroyed houses, and the gradually corrupted corpses on the ground all show the terrible experiences encountered by the people of Shanyin County, but Xiao Ruxun could do nothing about this.

When the Beilu came, they whistled, and when they left, they didn't leave anything behind. Even a living person could not see it.

When Xiao Ruxun received Nurhaci's military newspaper, he knew that there were no living people here, but when he really saw it, he still couldn't control the grief and anger and desolation in his heart.

"Our soldiers are incompetent, but they have harmed innocent people. If we cannot protect the people from harm by the enemy, why does the sword in our hands exist? This is our fault!"

Xiao Ruxun shed tears at the ruins of Shanyin County, set up an altar at the gate of the county town, and presented the head of the Beilu who was cut off from Yanmen Pass as a sacrificial item. By the way, he cut off a strand of his hair.

"Ru Xun still needs this head to avenge you all, and to avenge your national humiliation. Here we cut off our hair and replace our heads with an oath. We will kill all the northern captains and avenge you all. I hope you can rest in peace if you know what you know in the spring."

Xiao Ruxun put his hair under the altar to express his guilt and sincerity. Afterwards, the main generals in the army followed Xiao Ruxun, and each of them cut off a strand of hair to express his guilt and sincerity.

"The Northern Barbarians have no virtue and harm our people. This Northern Expedition will definitely make the Northern Barbarians pay their blood debts and blood debts!"

"Blood debt and blood repayment!"

The soldiers shouted in unison.

The Ming army continued northward and headed towards Yingzhou.

Yingzhou, north of Yanmen Pass and south of Datong Town, is not a very important border defense hub. It is often a border defense material transfer station. It should have been an unknown place, but it has come into people's eyes because of a great war in the 12th year of Zhengde. That year, a battle involving more than 100,000 people took place here.

However, what really made it talk about by future generations was probably not the battle itself. In Chinese history, there were indeed not many wars participated in, but Yingzhou would never be famous because of this. What really made Yingzhou famous was the result of this 100,000 battle.

The Ming army beheaded the Mongolian level 16, and the Ming army killed 52 people.

The "level" of beheading here does not mean that there are only sixteen Mongolians killed. The definition of the head is very strict. Being shot by arrows and being shot by muskets and being bombed by artillery is not considered the head. Only the heads that were cut off when the two armies were chopping each other on the battle formation can be recorded as the head.

Therefore, except for a few annihilation battles, the ratio between the annihilation and the head level is very close, the number of killings and beheadings in most other battles remained at about 10 to 1, or even lower. So, if you calculate, the deaths of the Mongols recorded here are about 160 to 200.

But this is also very funny!
