Chapter 479

"Your Majesty, we won, we won a great victory!"

As the sun sets, the smoke from the Luan River has not yet dissipated. Zhang Guodong returns from the battlefield and arrives in front of the emperor's tent. He happily reports to the victory.

The imperial tent is set on a mountain top several miles away from the battlefield. Standing on the mountain, you can see the battlefield in the valley below the mountain. The smoke of gunfire has not yet dissipated, but the sound of cannons has already disappeared.

The shouts of killing gradually became less and less, and in turn, the sound of cheers arose.

Haoge's cavalry had collapsed and were being divided and encircled and annihilated. They were willing to break through, but they were powerless.

"Victory is expected." Liu Jun was wearing military uniform and carrying a sword on his waist, but this distance was already the front line for the generals to agree to the emperor to approach the battlefield. As the king of a country, his subordinates refused to let him really get close to the battlefield, let alone let him charge on the battlefield and kill the enemy.

However, a real battle should have been planned before the battle begins.

To what Liu Jun often said, it is not to fight unprepared battles. Never send soldiers to the battlefield casually. Before a real battle, you must have a strategy planned in advance, judge the situation in time, explore the situation between the enemy and us, and make comprehensive preparations.

From intelligence reconnaissance, the number of enemy troops, geographical victory, and logistics supply, you must master them. The most important thing is your own preparations, the training status of military soldiers, equipment, food and salary supply, material transportation, etc.

Only when everything is ready can the war be appropriate. Once the war begins, it means that the pre-war preparations are sufficient, the goal of the war has been clear, and the morale of the military is completely available. By doing this, there will be enough chances of winning.

Unless you are forced to fight, an active war should not be fought before the war without more than 70% of the chance of winning.

This battle of Luanhe, and even the entire battle of Yanbei, were fully prepared. Before Liu Jun decided to start the war, he had a chance of winning of more than 80%.

The cavalry troops have attacked.

These cavalry were always raising their strength. They followed the emperor's orders and watched the battle from afar in the first half of the battle. When the Qing cavalry was besieged and strangled by artillery and infantry, they were finally exhausted and unable to continue, the Han cavalry came out in one fell swoop with a full attitude.

They scattered everywhere, like the autumn wind swaying fallen leaves, scattering the Qing cavalry that was about to collapse, chopping over and trampling on the ground.

"I want a perfect victory and send the soldiers no way to let go of a Qing army. This is their doomsday. Tell the Donglu that surrendering can save their lives. If they resist stubbornly, they will be killed without mercy."

The messenger quickly wrote down the emperor's words.

Liu Jun added another sentence, "Don't harm those prisoners who are willing to abandon their weapons and surrender. These people are also valuable labor. They will be the property of the empire in the future. Do you understand?"

"yes."

Watching the cavalry brothers roar past and chopping the Qing captives who could not escape to the ground. Seeing many Qing captives finally throwing down their weapons in despair, dismounting and kneeling to surrender, Cao Donggen felt extremely comfortable.

My legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead, but I was incredibly happy.

"We won, we won!"

Cao Donggen cheered and rushed towards his companion beside him. He picked him up. The tall Spanish mercenary Tepren was picked up by Cao Donggen, who was much smaller than him, and turned around for several times. After landing, he was not angry. He was also excited and even held Cao Donggen's face with both hands and kissed him fiercely.

The companions next to him laughed together. Cao Donggen hurriedly broke away from Tepran and kept wiping the kissed face.

"We won, brothers, win!"

In less than a day, they defeated 30,000 Qing cavalry. This result was accomplished by the Han infantrymen of similar numbers.?

"We are all exhausted. Now that the Tartars are defeated, we have no strength to pursue them, so we have to let the cavalry get a big advantage."

"So what? This battle was won by our infantry and no one can erase it. His Majesty the Emperor saw it with his own eyes. We have eaten our fill of meat, and now we can let the cavalry drink some soup. Let them also benefit from our wealth. Brothers, let's rest on the spot."

Company Commander Zhao Shuanzhu came over and began to ask each team to report the number, register the casualties, and record the results.

There were more than 200 people in the entire company, and at this time there were nearly 200 people left, with more than 20 casualties, with a casualty rate of nearly one-tenth. This casualty rate was not high for a major battle of 70,000 to 80,000 people, especially they were line infantry with extremely high casualties.

Fortunately, they were facing a group of traditional cavalry without infantry and artillery fighting in concert. If the opponent was also equipped with a large number of artillery guns, the battle between the two sides would only be the most tragic queuing and shooting tactic. Under this tactic, in a frontal field battle, it would not be a strange thing for the line infantry to suffer more than 50% of the casualties.

Teplan couldn't help but thank God. Their opponent was just a group of backward barbarians. No matter how fierce the barbarians rode and shot fiercely, they were no match for the large-scale firearm troops.

"Check the ammunition pack, check the remaining ammunition, and then check your guns."

Cao Donggen didn't have to count his ammunition bag, and he knew that he had only 120 fixed-load paper bullets left at this time.

Before going to the battle, each of them was divided into three hundred fixed-load paper bullets, and he clearly remembered that he shot a total of 180 on the battlefield today.

During the entire battle, he shot 180 paper bullets, seventy-one paper bullets, including twenty-seven Qing lords, thirty-five shots but not killed, and nine shots were the enemy's war horses. More than one hundred were in chaos and did not hit the target.

And miraculously, from beginning to end, he was not injured at all.

In addition to being thirsty and hungry, he was extremely tired, feeling sweaty and heavy legs, he didn't even hurt the oily skin. It has to be said that it was a miracle.

The company commander recorded the record of Cao Donggen's report. Looking at the numbers in the notebook, Zhao Shuanzhu patted his shoulder, "Boy, it seems that you are born to be a sergeant. When you are at the end, you will be at least a sergeant commander. Maybe you can get a medal. Boy, I will recommend you to the top to receive blocker training. In the future, you may become an excellent blocker. In the future, you may be able to explode the head of the enemy commander with one shot!"

Cao Donggen saluted excitedly, "Thank you for cultivation."

"This is an opportunity you earned by yourself, cherish it. I know you are a Korean, but now you are a soldier of the Han Empire. You may be about to be promoted to become a sergeant chief, or even an officer in the future. Therefore, you should remember that when you join the Han Emperor, you are no longer a Korean, but a citizen of the empire and a soldier of the Han Empire. Do you understand?"

"Yes." Cao Donggen was so excited that he was indescribable that he became an officer of the empire and a people of the empire. From then on, he and his descendants will be members of this powerful empire and have been the people of the empire for generations.

"Cherish it well. Not everyone can become a people of the empire. If you want to become a member of the empire, you must contribute and contribute your own strength to the empire."

At this moment, a series of trembling cheers suddenly came from the front.

"What did you give birth?"

Zhao Shuanzhu asked loudly to a cavalry riding by horse.

The cavalry looked at him and laughed loudly, "Catch Haoge, Prince Su of the Tartars, one of the four auxiliary kings, the eldest son of Huang Taiji. He was caught by us, and we caught him."

Haoge was eventually disbanded with his subordinates during the breakout. He was determined to break through and refused to surrender. But he could not kill the siege after going around. When the Han cavalry finally attacked, Haoge finally had no chance to escape.

In the end, Haoge was surrounded, but he still vowed not to surrender. He died of the war horse, but he still did not surrender in the infantry battle. In the end, if it weren't for the soldiers of the Haixi Jurchen tribe in the Han cavalry that he was Prince Su Haoge, I'm afraid he would have been shot to death long ago.

His identity saved his life. After hearing that this was the commander of the Qing army, Haoge, the Han cavalry refused to beat him to death again, and finally put him in a rope trap, successfully capturing him.

"Your Majesty, you've captured Haug."

This good news quickly reached Liu Jun. When Liu Jun heard the news, he was very happy and brought him.

Haoge, who was taken to the mountain to the imperial tent, was extremely embarrassed. His helmet had been left without knowing where to go, and his armor was covered with mud. Even the snippet was scattered, his head was scattered, and several wounds were still bleeding on his body.

"Kneel down!"

When the guards saw Haoge tied up in a lot, they refused to kneel down when they came in. They immediately shouted, then kicked him hard, and knelt on the ground with a kick.

Liu Jun looked at Haoge a few times, sneered a few times, and saw his unruly expression on his face, waved his hand, "I'm not happy to see that he cut his pig tail."

Immediately, a guard came forward, and without saying a word, he pulled his dispersed head.

Haoge struggled hard, but when the strong guard saw his subordinates, he could not move. He could only hear a few clicks, and the thighs of heads were finally cut off. After the guards finished cutting, he looked at the remaining pieces and looked at the unwell of the rest, and then took the knife and took action, and scraped him over the head.

After a moment, Haoge became a big bald head. Because of his struggle when shaving his head, the scratching was not very clean, and it looked like a scattered head. Several places were scratched, and many blood beads emerged, making them green, white and red.

The soldiers in the imperial tent couldn't help laughing when they looked like this.

"Haoge, you are my prisoner now. I give you two choices. Either, live or die. Which one do you want to choose? If you want to live, then surrender to me. If you want to die, I will also fulfill you."

Life or death is a difficult choice! (To be continued.)
