Chongzhen Chat Group

In the order issued in advance, Li Dingguo required that after entering the camp and causing chaos, he must focus on attacking the large yurts and the yurts located in the middle. As for the king's tent, he personally led the army to attack directly.

Under the moonlight, he saw a large number of people gathered there, and the Khalkha tribesmen who had originally blocked him also gathered there. Li Dingguo made a quick decision and shouted: "Gather fire and attack!"

This term was learned in the new military camp.

I saw him quickly lighting a rocket and shooting towards the crowd gathering place. A ray of fire flew up, and the bright arc attracted people's attention.

All the nearby Ming army officers and soldiers, upon seeing this, immediately threw arrows in that direction. He fired like a barrage of arrows, and then quickly took out the flintlock gun that had been filled with gunpowder. He didn't need to aim, just fired at the crowd over there.

The sound of "bang bang bang" finally sounded in the camp, and when people heard it, they knew the sound of musket firing. This sound proved that this was the Ming army that frightened them in their nightmares. Suddenly, the sound of gunfire intensified the disintegration of the Khalkha people.

Some people got out of the yurts and ran away without weapons at all. Some people even didn't even put on their clothes and just thought about escaping first. Some people are lucky enough to grab a horse and ride away immediately; while some people are unable to find the horse in time, so they can only run away on two legs and just want to run away as quickly as possible. Get away from here.

As for Li Dingguo, after setting fire, he saw that few of the group of people were still standing. However, he refused to let it go, and immediately took the rifle and rushed over there with his men. Then, he rushed to the next crowd gathering place, and the next crowd gathering place...

Anywhere where there are crowds of people is a target for them to attack. What he wants is for no more enemies to gather.

When Li Dingguo led his men to hunt down the defeated soldiers, the sky lit up and a new day arrived.

But in this place, it was a mess. Some yurts are still burning into the sky, while others are completely burned, with only the remaining smoke rising into the sky. The ground was covered with corpses and rivers of blood flowed; there were countless cattle, horses and sheep that escaped from the fence and were scattered throughout the camp area. Of course, some escaped further.

Among these cattle and sheep, many of them even had torches tied to them, causing the surrounding cattle and sheep to look sideways and not dare to approach.

These cattle and sheep were actually the cattle and sheep that Li Dingguo encountered before. He ordered at that time to surround them without collecting elites for eight hundred nights, and did not let a single Khalkha tribe member escape. Then he collected them and made enough simple torches to help In cattle and sheep. He also left a hundred cavalry troops behind, and agreed that the fires at the enemy camp would serve as signals during the war. The remaining cavalry troops would light these torches and drive the cattle and sheep toward the camp, causing the army to march towards the camp under night cover. The illusion of progress.

Judging from the subsequent effects, this move worked very well. It was the main reason that finally forced the Khalkha people to disperse, and it was also the biggest guarantee of victory in this war!

Until noon the next day, the Ming army, which was divided into groups of a hundred and pursued, returned to the camp as agreed. After a busy night and day of fighting, even his iron-clad body was a little tired.

However, the officers and soldiers of the Ming Army were all very excited. When they saw each other, they all asked about the situation loudly, and their voices were all filled with joy.

At the place where the fire was set up last night, Li Dingguo was here, and he was equally excited as he listened to the surviving Khalkha prisoners identify one of the arrow-studded corpses as their Great Khan Norbu. Obviously, he was surrounded in the middle last night, which happened to be the place where the Ming army soldiers took the most care, and he ended up with such an unfortunate end.

Confirming the killing of Norbu is the greatest victory of this war. As for the rest, the returning Ming army groups were also reporting to Li Dingguo. At this moment, each of them admired Li Dingguo extremely! Sure enough, he was a person valued by the emperor. He was able to seize this opportunity sharply and led 800 of them to defeat tens of thousands of enemies! This kind of ability is really comparable to the famous general passed down through the ages, the hussar general of the Han Dynasty!

The results of the battle were probably confirmed. The six groups of Ming troops who pursued them were divided into different directions, and they were all killed in rivers of blood without encountering any resistance.

Looking at the mess of the camp in front of him, Li Dingguo looked up again at the not-so-warm sun, with a calm look on his face that seemed a bit dissatisfied with his age. He said calmly: "Those Khalkha people who did not have horses and fled were driven away by us. The land is far enough away, and there is no food or clothing. In this kind of weather, it is probably difficult to survive. After this battle, the Khalkha tribe is finished. This time we..."

Having said this, a smile finally appeared on his face, he raised his arms and shouted: "Big victory!"

"A great victory!" Upon hearing this, the Ming army officers and soldiers surrounding him immediately shouted one after another. They also raised their arms and shouted, releasing the excitement in their hearts, "A great victory, a great victory..."

There were only eight hundred cavalry, and they were facing tens of thousands of grassland opponents, all of whom were tribesmen in their prime. Although with Li Dingguo's encouragement in advance, he felt that this battle could be fought and it was possible to win. Under the military order, and under the stimulation of Feng Qiyinzi and Guangzong Yaozu, he raised his head and did it.

Now the dust has settled, a big victory! When my heart is relieved, I am naturally very happy. Even if they don't study much, and many of them have never even taken lessons from the supervisory army, everyone knows that this battle will definitely go down in history! It is almost comparable to the results achieved by the Hussars General in his most proud battle. It is estimated that after returning home, all his colleagues will be envious!

This battle is worth it! There is such a battle in the military experience, and you can be proud of it for the rest of your life!

At this moment, those Mongolians from Oirat felt relieved besides that: the last enemy of the Khalkha tribe was defeated by these 800 people, and it was considered a blessing to those who died. Relatives and tribesmen have taken part of their revenge.

Seeing both the general flag and ordinary soldiers cheering happily, Li Dingguo was young, but he was the first to return to normal. He immediately asked about his own casualties. According to statistics, twenty-three people were killed and seventy-eight were injured! Most of these casualties were from the initial attack on the Khalkha camp until the enemy dispersed.

After Li Dingguo heard about it, he went to take care of the funeral affairs of the soldiers who died in the battle. He also checked on the wounded and expressed condolences in person. He even saw that some of the wounded were bandaged that he was not satisfied with, so he personally untied and rebandaged them, all of which were required. until he is satisfied.

Looking at Li Dingguo's every move, the Ming army refused to accept him at night, and they were all convinced by him! From this moment on, in their hearts, they no longer respect Li Dingguo because of his past. If Li Dingguo issued any orders to them at this time, there would be no need to talk about his past experiences.

After being busy for a while and burning everything that could be burned, the Ming army officers and soldiers followed Li Dingguo's order, drove the captured cattle, horses and sheep, and took the remains of their comrades with them to truly withdraw to the east. Before leaving, Li Dingguo used the photo function of the chat group to take a lot of photos of everything in front of him and sent them to Tiansheng, and attached the brief history and results of the war.

At this time, Yang Sichang was discussing the next year's war with Mangui, which felt a bit tricky. I heard him say to Mangui: "The west side is really too far. We don't know much about the situation there. However, there are people who are familiar with our Ming Dynasty over there, at least people from the Khalkha tribe. We know more about our Ming Dynasty. According to the emperor’s wishes, we will go on an expedition next year, are you sure?”

"Don't worry, sir, our Ming Dynasty is more powerful than ever before." Man Gui replied confidently, "The generals start from small soldiers and have never seen anything in the army. Now the morale, equipment, rewards and punishments of our Ming army, no matter what No matter what kind of enemy I am, I believe that they will not be my Ming Dynasty’s opponent!”

After hearing what he said, Yang Sichang's worries became a little better. After all, Man Gui is indeed what he said. He rose from a small soldier to a general soldier, and then to the title of earl. His achievements are all based on actual military achievements.

Just as he was thinking about it, Man Gui frowned and said: "But what you said is reasonable. The enemy's situation is unknown, which will have an impact on our army's offensive next year! Ye Bushou, who was sent before, should be able to bring back some news. !”

When Yang Sichang heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said: "I can't understand why the emperor values ​​that Li Dingguo so much and actually wants me to train him well! I wonder if I can get the expected news when I explore the military situation in the west this time!"

Speaking of this, he even thought, could Li Dingguo be the emperor's illegitimate son outside? However, it is impossible to think about the ages of two people! But no matter what, the emperor valued Li Dingguo so much, which made him feel a little jealous.

After hearing this, Man Gui replied straightforwardly: "This little guy is also very powerful. He can speak clearly about everything about war. If we just talk, the general will not be able to defeat him anyway. Wait. In the future, as he experiences more and gets older, I believe he will become a famous general in our Ming Dynasty!"

"Ah, I'm afraid he is just a boastful Zhao Kuo!" Yang Sichang commented, then frowned and sighed, "He can report the news directly, but there has been no movement these days, which makes me a little worried ah!"

After he finished speaking, he stopped by the chat group to read the news. It's okay if you don't look at it, but when you look at it, you just see the news from Li Dingguo. Unexpectedly, he froze there.

This made Man Gui, who had been looking at him, a little strange. He didn't know what he thought of, and a worried look suddenly appeared on his face. He quickly shouted: "Sir, what's the matter? Sir, could it be that something happened to the people who were sent out at night?" Right? No news for a few days?"

After asking several questions in a row, Yang Sichang exited the chat group, looked at Man Gui in shock and said, "There is news about Li Dingguo!"

"Are you okay?" Man Gui asked a little worriedly when he saw it.

"It's something, it's something big!" Yang Sichang, still in shock, answered Man Gui's question, "I didn't expect him to be so courageous, and he took the initiative to attack Khalkha with just his 800 cavalry. There are tens of thousands of tribes in the clan..."

"What?" When Man Gui heard this, he was startled and said loudly, "Why are you so reckless? You are more daring than me! What about that? Have you escaped?"

Yang Sichang still can't believe it, but fortunately there is a picture. He repeatedly confirmed that it is true, but he still replied in disbelief: "There is no need to run away, he won the fight. Self-pretend Khan Norbu, a total of There were more than three thousand heads, and the rest of the Khalkha tribe scattered into the wilderness and could not survive more than a few days. From now on, there will be no more Khalkha tribe."

"What?" When Man Gui heard this, he was shocked again. He couldn't believe it and repeated: "Li Dingguo defeated Norbu's remaining 10,000 horses with 800 cavalry? This... Is this true?"

"It's absolutely true! He has now returned in triumph with Norbu's head and the captured cattle, horses and sheep. It is estimated that we will see him in half a month." Yang Sichang seemed to have not recovered yet, and said It was like he didn't even know what he said.

After finishing speaking, he had to sigh with emotion: "They are both seventeen years old, with the same 800 cavalry, one attacked the royal court, and the other destroyed the enemy clan. The results are all brilliant and dazzling! He is really the hussar general of the Ming Dynasty. , Your Majesty’s eyes are as sharp as a torch, and I am not as good as this!”

At this moment, Yang Sichang was convinced by Emperor Chongzhen's vision. You know, even a Ming general like Man Gui, who rose from a small soldier, never thought that such a thing would happen. In other words, who could achieve such results in the Ming Dynasty? However, the emperor believed in Li Dingguo and intended to train him. It was precisely because of the emperor's cultivation and promotion that the seventeen-year-old Li Dingguo had the opportunity to create great achievements against the Ming Dynasty's enemies. From then on, when future generations mention the Hussars General, they will probably mention Li Dingguo’s name!

After Man Gui heard Yang Sichang's confirmation, he was also very shocked. After thinking about it for a moment, he immediately clasped his fists and asked Yang Sichang for orders: "My lord, the last general is willing to lead the army west to respond!"

He couldn't sit still and wished he had gone to the west right now, met Li Dingguo, and asked him how this battle was fought. How could you be so powerful at such a young age?

After this period of buffering, Yang Sichang also recovered a little. After hearing Mangui's request for orders, he thought for a moment, nodded and said: "This battle will be of great significance to our Western Expedition in the coming Ming Dynasty. Now that the weather is about to be freezing, and we have to drive away the captured cattle, horses and sheep, it is really not easy." It’s easy. Then it’s up to you to take over and avoid any surprises. This war must end completely!"

Upon hearing this, Man Gui immediately loudly accepted the order, then turned around and strode away, as if he didn't want to wait any longer.

Yang Sichang didn't care, but immediately entered the chat group. He wanted to congratulate the emperor. This matter, no matter what, is a great victory for his subordinates!
