Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 30 The leader of the bandits has been captured. We will not kill them even if we take off their armor!

"charge!!!"

When the little Tatar prince saw this, his eyes widened and he roared in anger.

Hundreds of guards around him obeyed the order and immediately followed the little Tatar prince to charge towards Gao Shun.

When the two armies met, people and horses were thrown to the ground!
The Tatars fell off their horses one after another and their army was completely routed.

After just one charge, the little Tatar prince and his gathered troops completely lost their combat effectiveness.

Gao Shun, who was rushing in the front, stopped his horse, holding a halberd in his right hand and a head in his left hand.

That was the head of the little Tatar prince, his eyes still wide open and his mouth still open roaring.

But he would never make any sound again.

"The leader of the bandits has been captured. Remove your armor and don't kill them!"

Gao Shun held high the head of the little Tatar prince and shouted angrily in a deep voice.

The personal soldiers behind Gao Shun also shouted.

"The leader of the bandits has been captured. Remove your armor and don't kill them!"

Soon, all the soldiers in the Xianzhen Camp were chanting this sentence.

"The leader of the bandits has been captured. Remove your armor and don't kill them!"

"The leader of the bandits has been captured. Remove your armor and don't kill them!"

"The leader of the bandits has been captured. Remove your armor and don't kill them!"

The Tatars on the battlefield looked around in shock.

Sure enough, the head of the little Tatar prince was seen on the flag of the Xianzhen Camp.

The Tartars completely collapsed!!!

Even their Khan had his head chopped off, so what was the point of their resistance?
The Tatars jumped off their horses, abandoning their weapons and armor.

There were still some Tartars who resisted stubbornly, but they were soon knocked off their horses and hacked to death by the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp.

The chaos lasted for two hours, and finally all the Tatars who were still resisting were slaughtered.

Those who were left were the Tartar captives who had already lost their weapons and armor.

Gao Shun immediately ordered someone to take stock of the battlefield. After a full hour, someone came to report to Gao Shun.

"General Gao, in this battle, the Xianzhen Camp annihilated a total of 38,642 enemies."

"The total number of captured Tartars is 26,827."

"A total of 32,139 horses were seized."

"A total of 73 horse-drawn carriages were seized, totaling 340,000 taels of silver, 230 dan of grain, and 6,000 jin of tea..."

Gao Shun nodded and memorized the data.

Although the little Tatar prince claimed to lead an army of 100,000 to attack the Ming Dynasty,

But in fact, the Tatar army had only more than 65,000 people.

When Cao Cao fought the Battle of Chibi, he claimed to have an army of 800,000.

But in fact, the number of troops Cao Cao could mobilize would not exceed 200,000.

Falsifying the number of troops is a traditional virtue in military strategists. Over the years, it has naturally been learned by the nomadic peoples of the grasslands.

As for the supplies and silver, some of them were used by Qiu Yue to bribe the little Tatar prince.

The little Tatar prince did not dare to use any of the supplies, even a tael of silver, and sent them all to Gao Shun.

There were also some food and fodder, which were military rations brought by the Tartars themselves from the grassland.

The rest was what the Tatars burned, killed and looted along the way.

At this moment, all of them were seized by Gao Shun.

This battle has achieved great results!
Gao Shun glanced at the entire room and then gave the order.

"All troops, listen up! Escort all prisoners and supplies back to Changtong and wait!"

"Yes, General!"

After everyone got up to escort the prisoners and supplies, Gao Shun wrote another secret letter and sent a captain to deliver it to the capital.

After receiving the letter, the captain did not dare to delay for even a second and immediately rode on horseback to the capital.

The captain rushed all the way to the capital, but found that the gates were closed and there were dozens of barricades in front of the gates.

There were also a large number of garrisons stationed around the city, ready to fight. The garrison soldiers on the tower were horrified when they saw the lieutenant of the Xianzhen Camp and shouted in haste.

"Who is coming?!"

"The capital is under martial law. No one is allowed to enter without the emperor's order!"

The captain stopped his horse and held up the secret letter: "I am the captain of the Xianzhen Camp. I am under the order of General Gao to deliver military information to the capital at an expedited speed of 800 miles!"

"Open the city gate quickly!"

The soldiers defending the city were all shocked and suspicious, and they dared not open the city gates.

Trap camp?
I've never heard of this army's name among the Ming Dynasty's garrisons?

Seeing that the city gate took a long time to open, the captain of the Xianzhen Camp became extremely anxious and urged his horse to charge.

But hundreds of soldiers from the Beijing camp were already guarding the city gate, ready for battle.

At this tense moment, Ji Sheng, the third head of the Western Factory, happened to return to Beijing from outside the city.

After he sent the secret letter to Changtong, he was ordered to investigate the property of a retired official.

The investigation has yielded some results, and he is going back to the Western Factory to report the results.

The farewell glance in Changtong that day, the soldiers in black horses and black armor of the Xianzhen Camp left a deep impression on Jisheng.

But he didn't expect to see the captain of the Xianzhen Camp with black horse and black armor in front of the gate of the capital city.

Ji Sheng was startled at first, then quickly stepped forward and said, "Soldier, what are you doing..."

As Gao Shun's personal soldier, the lieutenant followed Gao Shun when he went out of the city to receive the emperor's order.

He immediately recognized Ji Sheng and explained, "Head of the Western Factory, I am here on the orders of General Gao Shun to deliver military intelligence to the capital."

"But the army guarding the city refused to open the gate!"

"what?!"

Ji Sheng was shocked and immediately shouted at the city wall: "You are blind!"

"This is a soldier from His Majesty's personal army, how dare you stop him?"

"Open the city gate quickly!"

"If you delay the military intelligence, the West Factory will chop off ten of your heads!"

The general guarding the city did not know the people from the Xianzhen Camp, but he was very familiar with the third-in-command of the Western Factory.

Hearing the anger and anxiety in Jisheng's tone, he knew that he was in trouble this time, and hurriedly opened the city gate as quickly as possible.

The defenders outside the city immediately removed their barricades.
He Jisheng, the captain of the Xianzhen Camp, immediately rode into the capital.

The general guarding the city stood beside the city gate, feeling extremely terrified: "General, I really don't know..."

The captain ignored the general guarding the city and quickly ran through the city gate.

Ji Sheng did not make things difficult for the general defending the city, and he took the Western Factory soldiers to the Western Factory.

After all, although the general defending the city stopped the captain, he was also doing his duty.

He just didn't know that Zhu Youtang also had an extremely powerful personal army called the Xianzhen Camp.

After entering Beijing, the captain came to the Forbidden City smoothly, and after a series of messages, he finally arrived at the Imperial Study.

As soon as he entered the imperial study, the captain didn't even dare to raise his head. He stared at the ground and knelt down in front of Zhu Youtang.

"I am Xu Chang, the captain of the personal army of General Gao Shun of the Xianying Camp, and I am here to see Your Majesty!"

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

An extremely majestic voice sounded, and Xu Chang dared to stand up and quietly looked around the room.

In the room with carved beams and painted rafters, two eunuchs and a royal guard were standing respectfully beside the dragon table.

The three of them bowed their waists slightly and lowered their heads, being extremely polite and not daring to make the slightest sound.

Xu Chang didn't know that these three were the commanders of the two factories and one guard who were now famous in the capital.

Behind the dragon case, a young man in casual clothes sat on the dragon chair and looked at him calmly.

Although the clothes he wore were of ordinary color, they were embroidered with extremely noble dragon patterns.

Xu Chang knew that this person was the current Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
