"This is the first time you have joined forces with the Liaodong cavalry, do you still find it strange?"

Xiao Ruxun smiled.

"I have never seen such an overdrafting scene. I used to make small fuss, at most 10,000 people, but this time, 30,000 to 40,000 people died here. Looking around, they were all corpses, and they were not used to seeing them anyway."

Wang Hui shook his head silently.

"It is a good thing not to get used to seeing it. Ziheng, you have to persevere. Once you get used to seeing it, you can only devote yourself to the army for the rest of your life and there is no possibility of returning to normal life."

Xiao Ruxun said this and called Wang Hui a little surprised.

Xiao Ruxun went down the hillside and found Li Rusong who was asking his subordinates to flush the armor. At this moment, he was still flushing. Li Rusong's armor was covered with blood, and his face and hands were covered with red marks. He looked like a bloody man, which shows how fierce the fight was just now.

However, looking at Li Rusong's lively appearance, it should be all the enemy's blood.

"General Li's mighty power is still the same as before!"

Listening to Xiao Ruxun's voice, Li Rusong turned his head and looked again, and quickly clasped his fists and saluted.

"The last general will pay homage to the Governor!"

Xiao Ruxun stepped forward and helped Li Rusong up.

"General Li led the Liaodong cavalry to kill many bandits. This time, it is well deserved to be the first contribution. This governor will definitely ask General Li and his subordinates for their contributions to the court."

This is what Li Rusong and his subordinates are most willing to hear. This will definitely help you understand the joy point of the Liaodong Army. It seems that over the past few days, Xiao Ruxun's reputation in the Liaodong Army has been restored and improved.

Moreover, it seems that there is news that Li Rusong and Xiao Ruxun have reconciled their past grudges and returned to the Liaodong Army. During this period, Xiao Ruxun kept asking for credit for the Liaodong Army. The generals of the Liaodong Army have changed a lot from the previous hatred and fear.

This is a good thing. If this Ming Dynasty's most powerful cavalry unit could be driven, it would be of some benefit.

"This time, the Beilu defeated the Beilu, and the gates of Yanghe City suddenly opened. I don't know how many million Beilu are waiting for us to take it down. Brothers can continue to work hard and kill more enemies. This governor hereby announces that the heads of the five Beilu old, weak, women and children killed on the battlefield can reach the head of a Beilu warrior!"

The soldiers around him suddenly became turbulent, and the desire value in everyone's eyes was greatly improved.

The difficulty of killing the elderly, weak, women and children is much lower than that of killing a warrior. Although it is five to one, it is undoubtedly a profit compared to before.

In the past, there was no reward for killing the elderly, weak, women and children. Now that there is a reward, it is naturally much better than not. These soldiers with red eyes were originally a little tired, but after hearing this reward rule, they immediately felt a desire to continue fighting.

So Xiao Ruxun immediately ordered the entire army to prepare, clean up the battlefield, and immediately set out to Yanghe City to kill the enemy, and the morale of the entire army was greatly boosted.

After another hour, the battlefield was roughly cleaned up, and the 41,261 Northern Legion were counted and killed, and the 4,678th level was beheaded. No capture was captured, and all the enemy troops were killed, but they obtained more than 10,000 war horses and a large number of weapons.

Xiao Ruxun then ordered all the heads of the Northern Legion to be cut off and placed in the army. At that time, he planned to go to the grassland to set up Jingguan, and the bodies would be burned by dozens of ignition.

It is said that after the army left, the fire in the valley burned for three days and three nights without stopping. After everyone was extinguished, the valley was covered with dust. The dust was not ordinary dust, but ashes. However, in the following decades, the woods and shrubs here grew very well, and once became an excellent place for people on the gate to go out for a trip.

After the main force of the Beilu soldiers in Yanghe City was killed, the subsequent military operations became much easier. More than 50,000 Ming troops defeated all the 150,000 Beilu soldiers around Yanghe City in one day, and more than 20,000 young and strong left-behind were easily defeated.

The remaining more than 100,000 families of the followers were in trouble. Under the strategy of Xiao Ruxun's five elders, weak women and children being able to withstand the heads of war soldiers, when Yanghe City was finally recovered, the number of elderly, weak women and children who surrendered alive was smaller than that of young and strong men and women captives.

These more than 30,000 old, weak, women and children were kept alive because the Ming army had been fighting for a whole day. Many Ming army vomited because they killed too many times and could not kill them, so they chose to leave these useless prisoners.

Xiao Ruxun ordered the old and weak prisoners to be taken separately from the young and strong prisoners. The next morning, he ordered Nurhaci's Jurchen cavalry to kill all the 30,000 old and weak prisoners without leaving any of them. Of course, this is not considered a military merit, but purely to add the head of Jingguan.

Xiao Ruxun said that he wanted to make these people regret their behavior of going south and to make them tremble when they pronounced their names. Therefore, when he ordered the massacre, he also selected a hundred old men who did not kill them, and asked them to observe the whole process.

After the killing was over, Xiao Ruxun gave each of the hundred old men who were so scared that they were all over the place and gave them two oil cakes to eat, then tied two heads to their bodies, one by one and one horse, and asked them to go back.

Xiao Ruxun told them with full of malice that if they could go back alive, they must not forget to tell Beilu who they met his name and what they did, so that they could remember their name and what they did, and take revenge in the future.

If they dare to come.

The remaining young, strong, northern captives, men and women, followed the old rules and regulations, handed a whip or wooden stick to the rescued Han slaves who were lucky enough to survive, and asked them to supervise these prisoners to start repairing the barriers of Yanghe City, especially the Great Wall.

Xiao Ruxun immediately asked Li Rumei to lead his army to the Yanghekou Great Wall checkpoint. The report he received was that he killed more than 500 Beiliu in Yanghekou. Yanghekou was damaged more than 500 people, and there were signs of a large number of people entering and leaving, indicating that the 200,000 Beiliu in Yanghecheng area should have entered from Yanghekou.

Then the primary purpose of restoring Yang and the Kou is the primary purpose. Who knows if there are more northern enemies coming later? Before he was ready for the Northern Expedition, Xiao Ruxun had to rely on the Great Wall to guard Datong for a period of time.

At the same time, Xiao Ruxun received the military report that Chai Guozhu and Dong Yiyuan led their troops to successfully advance to kill Hukou. The two were lucky and fought three major sneak attacks along the way, destroying the three large Northern Seizure settlements.

However, the two of them did not have as strong consciousness as Xiao Ruxun and had enough troops, so they could only chase and kill all the way, driving all the northern barbarians out of the Kill Hukou, and then occupied the Kill Hukou and began to repair them. There were not many beheadings and not many enemies killed.

But in short, the strategic goal of the Ming army to go north to recover Datong was achieved. Datong had been recovered, the northern barbarians had been expelled, and the tasks given by the court were successfully completed.
Chapter completed!
