Seven hundred and sixteenth their courage was broken
When the war was in full swing, a large number of Northern Barbarians fell into a collapsed despair due to the superior performance of the Ming army and fled in all directions. When Xiao Ruxun saw this situation, he decisively ordered the generals to lead their troops to pursue each other separately, and not to run far away. He pursued them in all directions based on two days and one night.
The Liaodong cavalry led by Li Rusong won the most. When they came back, some people were one by two horses, some people were three horses, and the horses were carrying food, wealth, heads, and even living people drove a large number of cattle, sheep and horses back with full loads.
Li Rusong cut more than 30 heads by himself, and the four horses were full of his personal spoils. His personal bravery was obvious. It was really not someone's statement that he was brave enough to be the three armies.
The second place was Nurhaci's Jurchen spirit cavalry. This time, he spent a lot of money. In order to get better treatment for his son to curry favor with the best general of the Ming Empire, Nurhaci spared no effort to make good impressions in front of Xiao Ruxun, but this did not mean that he did not want to benefit.
This time, Xiao Ruxun issued a military order to allow the army to be captured and he did not have to obey the military order. However, he was so happy that the Jurchen cavalry who had been bound for too long were almost crazy. From Nurhaci, everyone killed bloody men and horses. Except for the Liaodong Han cavalry, no unit killed more ruthlessly than Nurhaci's troops.
They naturally had the most gains, including food and wealth, animal skin and bone products on horseback, and living people, and of course, more were people. The Ming army calculated the merits and counted the heads, and the others were their own wealth and distributed by themselves.
Anyway, it's a lot of money.
The third one was a bit unexpected. It was a Yulin cavalry team, which won so many gains, second only to Li Rusong and Nurhaci. Not only that, they also brought back the most cattle, sheep and horse herds in the entire army. Xiao Ruxun felt that with these strategic material reserves, as long as there were enough weapons and armor, it would be possible to launch another expedition to fight the Beilu's lair.
In short, the troops scattered out to pursue the Northern Barbarians had many gains. Two hours after Li Rumei's troops returned, the results were roughly out. In this attack, there were 51,7863 heads of the beheaded men, and the rest of the heads of the elderly, weak, women and children, with 65,476 heads.
In this way, it means that on average, each Ming army soldier killed nearly three Northern Barbarians.
This is a human head, and other Beilu who died in various ways, either had ragged bodies or had no time to clean up the heads. There were more people who were exposed to the wilderness, and they could no longer count them.
The armies themselves couldn't tell how many Northern Barbarians they had killed, and Xiao Ruxun didn't know how many Northern Barbarians were entrenched in Guihua City before he came to kill.
Everyone knows that this battle is a thorough and thorough victory. After this battle, for a long time, no northern barbarians dare to go south in this area.
Their courage was broken.
The losses of the Ming army were relatively unworthy.
The Ming army lost about 3,000 people during the raid on Guihua City, and more than 500 people were lost during the pursuit. The losses were small. Compared with some slight losses, what they took was more worthy of attention.
In this battle, the Ming army seized more than 50,000 livestock in one go.
These 50,000 are not considered war horses, but are all cattle and sheep. A large number of cattle and sheep belonging to the Beilu tribe around Guihua City were plundered by the Ming army, and a considerable number of them died in the war.
This time, the Beilu lost all his life and livestock, and they lost all the money. They had the robbery and what they originally had, and basically all of them were returned to the Ming army.
Let’s not talk about the tents, those gold, silver and jewelry, those bone products, those leather products, and animal products that could be exchanged for a lot of wealth in the Central Plains, etc., were all taken into the bag by the Ming army.
From generals to soldiers, the Ming army felt the joy and huge profits of the war, and felt that war could bring such a rich fortune. If we could obtain such a huge amount of wealth in every battle in the future, then what else can we fight?
After returning, the sleepy Ming soldiers fell to bed one after another. Many of them woke up after sleeping for a day and a night, so the celebration ceremony was held three days later. During this period, Xiao Ruxun focused on doing another thing.
Although the soldiers knew that the capture was theirs and it didn't matter if they killed people casually, they also knew that some people could not be killed casually. For example, those guys who looked rich and even a little gorgeous, they looked like they were not ordinary people, but were the leader. It would be better to capture such people alive than kill them. If they were dedicated to Xiao Ruxun, the effect would be better.
So Xiao Ruxun got more than a hundred prisoners of war at the level of the chief leader in one breath, all of whom looked panicked. It is estimated that except for the extremely beautiful annihilation battles that Xu Da Lan Yu and others captured so many Northern Barbarian nobles at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming army had never captured so many examples of Northern Barbarian nobles.
These people represent not only money, but also status. These guys who represent status and wealth can also get the same status and wealth in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Ming army has added more than 200 guerrilla generals and even generals in one day.
The new officers were satisfied, and Xiao Ruxun was also very happy. He did not expect that these soldiers were so sensible that they knew to capture these important leaders and leaders to please him during the intervals of killing.
It is probably because of the idea of repaying others. If you eat enough, you can't watch the coach who makes you full and hungry, so you leave the best to the coach.
The Northern Lu nobles at the level of more than one hundred heads, the brilliant results may be more important in the sense than the more than fifty thousand young and strong heads of the Northern Lu, which is an extraordinary symbol.
From them, they can reflect a beautiful future, power, and status, and no one will be ecstatic about it.
It is best for these people to be left to the emperor to deal with.
The prisoner offering ceremony must be big, but wouldn’t it be nice to choose some small heads for the emperor to let the emperor, who has been in resentment for many years vent and vent his anger crazy?
Anyway, in the Ming Dynasty, dealing with the Northern Territory was a very politically correct thing, let alone so many leaders.
In this way, the emperor was happy, his status was more stable, and his reputation was at its peak. If those civil servants wanted to do something to themselves, they had to weigh their own weight!
Do you dare to take action rashly for a famous general who has just won such a great victory for the country?
Aren't you afraid of criticism?
Are you guys who are about to go crazy, who are going crazy, who are so embarrassed to say something in front of so many people?
