Chapter 23: The Ming army is not fully paid, but fully paid, they are invincible!
"Ostrich Eggs"

Chen Ran held up the goose-feather knife at his waist. Even though he had been through so many things and his mind had long been strong, he was still stunned at this moment.

"Ostrich eggs are already out. Can this thing be eaten? Why not give me a dinosaur egg?"

While I was complaining in my heart, the scene ahead had already exploded.

The dense sound of gunfire was like the non-stop "cracking" of firecrackers during the New Year.

The high-intensity training in Santun Camp finally showed its value at this moment.

More than 600 musketeers, using the standard three-stage shooting method, fired rounds of bullets accompanied by the sound of goose flutes and the roars of generals at all levels.

The armored soldiers and flagmen of the Zhenghong Banner and the Two Blue Banners surged up like a tide, but they were like hitting a reef and were smashed to pieces.

At the beginning, Daishan was frightened by the huge casualties and even had the idea of ​​retreating.

But as the casualties of the Zhenghongqi increased dramatically, he also became furious.

The Zhenghong Banner was his personal property, and the loss he suffered now was really frustrating.

Not only did he personally lead the Bayara men to fight to the death, he even encouraged Manggurtai to go all in as well.

If it were someone like Dorgon, he would probably have different ideas in his mind.

But Manggurtai was really reckless and threw both blue flags in.

"I want to see how many lead bullets and medicine bullets the Ming people have!"

Seeing that the Jiannu cavalry were getting closer and closer, and even killing the musketeers with their powerful bows and flying axes, Chen Ran finally ordered the musketeers to retreat.

The musketeers quickly moved behind the shield formation and regrouped.

The Jiannu people, whose pressure was suddenly relieved, rushed forward under the arrows, first throwing a wave of bows and arrows and flying axes, and then riding their horses directly into the shield wall.

Theoretically, it would be more effective to dismount and fight on foot against the shield wall at this time.

Because behind the shield wall are rows and rows of tall soldiers.

The chevaux de frise, dragon spears, long spears, long-handled swords, hammers, horse forks, wolf-whips and so on were stacked up like a forest.

If fighting on foot, you can respond flexibly, dodge, block, or even roll on the ground.

However, the previous muskets killed and injured too many people, and the three flags of the Jiannu were all furious. The armored soldiers in the front row directly crashed into the shield wall and the long weapon formation with their horses.

The impact caused by the warhorse's large size and speed almost instantly knocked the shield formation apart.

Many long weapons were broken by the impact, and the Jiannu armored soldiers who fell off their horses would get up and continue fighting as long as they could still move.

Under normal circumstances, the Ming army should have collapsed and fled at this time.

It was just like the scene when the Jiannu fought against many Ming troops before.

However, the Ming army, whose formation had been broken, did not flee at this moment, but continued to fight firmly.

Daishan, who personally led the Bayaras of the Zhenghong Banner into the battle array, was surprised to see the Ming army fighting desperately all around him.

"How is it possible? Why didn't the Ming army collapse? Why didn't they collapse?!"

There is nothing to be confused about. The only reason is that the Ming army they are facing at this time is fully paid.

The Ming army is not satisfied with its pay, but it is invincible if it is fully paid!
Zhu Laitong and Wang De rushed forward with their infantrymen and fought with the Tartars.

At the same time, the reorganized musketeers went to the flanks, making way for the chaotic central army and shooting at the following Jiannu troops from the flanks.

"Master~~~"

Manggurtai's horse was hit by a lead bullet and rolled over, knocking him off the horse.

A group of slaves and soldiers rushed over quickly and helped him up.

"Legs, my legs!" Manggurtai, whose golden helmet had fallen off, screamed, "My legs are broken."

"Master~~~" His trusted men helped him change horses, "Let's go, we can't fight any more."

Manggurtai, who was enduring the severe pain, was furious and whipped his confidant with a whip. "My second brother has already rushed in, how can I..."

Just as he finished speaking, another round of lead bullets came over, and all the trusted servants surrounding him fell down immediately.

Feeling the heat from the lead type whizzing past his ears, Manggurtai was stunned.

Looking at the troops and horses around him that were gradually beginning to collapse, Manggurtai turned his horse around and ran back.

After riding his horse for more than a hundred steps, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the Ming army's formation.

Through the thick smoke, one could vaguely see that the shield formation that had been broken before had been reassembled, trapping Daishan in the formation.

Looking deeper, I suddenly saw the big flag of the Zhenghongqi slowly falling down.

At this moment, Manggurtai felt as if his heart was stabbed hard.

He turned his head back, not daring to look again, and leaned over to spur his horse to escape desperately.

Manggurtai, who used to be fearless, felt real fear for the first time!
It turns out that the Ming army is also so capable of fighting!

"Daishan?"

Chen Ran, sitting on horseback, leaned over and looked at Daishan, who had been stripped of his clothes and armor and tied up like a dumpling.

Looking at the ugly rat tail behind his head, Chen Ran felt that it was an eyesore. "Let's pour out the candlelight on him."

Seeing Daishan about to be dragged away, Zhu Lai took two steps forward and said, "Zihou, this is my second son, and he is also one of the leaders of the Jiannu. A living person is more valuable than a dead one."

Thanks to Chen Ran's blessing, Zhu Laitong was promoted and given a higher rank.

Relying on himself as the number one bootlicker of General Chen, Zhu Laitong dared to say his name "give it to the emperor to celebrate the victory, and there will be great rewards."

"you're right."

Chen Ran replied seriously, "Then break his legs and lock him up first. You arrange the troops to reorganize the formation, and we will attack Huang Taiji from the side. Only if we capture this person can it be considered a real achievement."

The Zhenghong Banner suffered heavy losses, and even their leader was captured. The two blue banners followed Manggurtai on horseback, while Chen Ran's cavalry was struggling to get rid of the Mongols and pursue them.

At this time, he did not choose to chase and kill, but reorganized the team and planned to flank Huang Taiji who was attacking Zhao Rushi.

If Huang Taiji could be killed here, the historical deviation value would definitely skyrocket.

The defeat of the two great beiles naturally caught the attention of Huang Taiji.

After the shock and anger, there is an indescribable calmness.

He quickly called Daishan's son, Yuetuo, who was now leading the Red Banner, and said, "You should return to the old camp immediately, take the important things with you to Gubeikou, and go out of the border."

Yuetuo, who was calm and composed, nodded and accepted the order, then asked, "Great Khan, are you not going to fight anymore?"

"The losses are too great, we can't fight any further."

In the era of cold weapons, people's ability to withstand losses was not high.

This is especially true for the Later Jin bandit group that started out as a looting gang.

Today's losses are too great, they can't withstand this war of attrition.

After the Red Banner left, Huang Taiji did not rush to withdraw his troops.

He took advantage of the fact that Chen Ran's side, which was mainly composed of infantry, was still busy reorganizing its formation, and personally commanded the two yellow flags and led a large number of Mongolian diehards to launch a strong attack on Zhao Lujiao's troops.

Although Zhao Lujiao had a large number of soldiers and horses, they were overwhelmed and beaten to the point of being unable to breathe.

Fortunately, after disrupting the Jizhen troops' formation, Huang Taiji moved forward to the enemy and retreated right under the noses of Chen Ran and Zhao Lushi.

The Ming army was mainly composed of infantry and could not catch up with the enemy.

The cavalry chased after them, but were entangled by the Mongols who were left behind and could not get close.

When it was three o'clock in the afternoon, the decisive battle, which took place more than 20 miles southwest of Tongzhou, came to an end with the retreat of the Jiannu.

"They run pretty fast. More horses is good." Looking at the Jiannu army going away, Chen Ran turned his gaze to the Liaodong Town approaching. "They have quite a few horses, too."

He Kegang and his men rode over, dismounted and bowed, "We want to thank Marshal Zhao and General Chen for their help!"

When Liaozhen cooperated with friendly forces in combat, they always advanced in front and never provided rescue.

This was the first time I was surrounded and was rescued by someone. I still feel a little uncomfortable.

"We are all ministers in the same palace, so there is no need to be so polite." Chen Ran had exchanged many letters with Zhou Yanru, and he had learned a lot about polite words. "If you really want to repay me, just give me some horses."

Zhao Lujiao looked at him with a little surprise. This was such a big favor, but he only asked for some horses?

"I don't want the favors of Liaodong Town." Chen Ran smiled warmly, but he was complaining in his heart, "Should I follow them and watch them die without helping, or should I become a bondservant to the Tartars together?"

"Everyone." Zhao Lujiao cleared his throat, "The Tartars are scattered, we should encourage them to pursue."

Everyone responded, "What the Marshal said is absolutely right."

After years of fighting against the Tartars, it was rare to have such a satisfying victory.

At this moment, everyone is willing to do something to help the downtrodden dog, and the people of Liaozhen are even more courageous and run very fast.

"Are they all idiots?"

An hour later, the distant sky was dyed with red clouds, but outside the Jiannu camp there was a great defeat.

The Liaodong Town, which hurriedly attacked the Jiannu camp hoping to take the opportunity to make a fortune, was counterattacked by Huang Taiji and was badly defeated.

The wilderness was filled with Liaozhen soldiers running around in panic, and only Cao Wenzhao and his men were able to keep their troops under control.

Seeing Chen Ran and the Jizhen soldiers approaching in an orderly formation.

The Jiannu troops, who had been recklessly chasing and killing the defeated soldiers from Liaozhen, slowly retreated, left the old camp and headed straight north.

When they met again, all the generals of Liaozhen looked ashamed.

This made Chen Ran a little curious. These people actually knew shame?
"Marshal, General Chen." Zu Dashou's cousin Zu Dale held his belly and said, "My soldiers are tired and it's getting late. We don't have time to set up camp. Let us use the Jiannu camp."

"Ha~" Upon hearing this, Chen Ran laughed out loud, "Yes, that's the taste. This is the real taste of Liaozhen."

"Even though they were beaten badly by the Jiannu, they never forgot to take advantage of their allies."

This was a very disrespectful statement, and all the Liaozhen army generals changed color.

"The daffodils are not blooming yet, why are you pretending to be so arrogant in front of me?"

Thinking about what the Liaozhen people had done in history, Chen Ran subconsciously felt nauseous!
The annual military expenditure of millions of taels of silver almost brought the Ming Dynasty to its knees.

When the people of the Ming Dynasty, who had been drained of their blood, were no longer able to provide for themselves, this group of people turned around and knelt at the feet of the Tartars, crying and shouting that they wanted to be their bondservants.

This was not the end. After the Liao town entered the pass, they raised their butcher knives and killed countless people whose homes were broken up by the Liao salary.

"We were the ones who drove the Jiannu away." Chen Ran raised his whip, first pointing to the north, then to the old camp not far away. "This place belongs to me."

The reason why they were fighting for the old camp was because everyone knew that the old camp contained valuables left behind by the Jiannu.

Before meeting Chen Ran, Huang Taiji entered the pass and swept across the capital, destroying countless prefectures, towns and villages, and looting countless wealth.

Most of these spoils were left in the old camp and there was no time to take them away.

These days, no one would think of returning something to its original owner; everyone wants to keep it for themselves.

The Liaozhen soldiers had run so fast before in order to rob the old camp of its wealth, but they were counterattacked by Huang Taiji and were humiliated.

Now Chen Ran simply broke off relations with them and didn't leave them any face at all.

There was silence all around. The faces of the people in Liaozhen became increasingly ugly, and they all looked at He Kegang.

At this time, He Kegang, who had the highest status, looked at Zhao Lujiao and said, "General, what do you think?"
