Jiang Bingzhong, surrounded by officers, came to the gate of the city lord's mansion.
At this time, soldiers from all sides had gathered and surrounded the courtyard.
Before the order to storm was issued, the door suddenly opened.
A group of people came out and knelt down in front of the door to beg for surrender.
A group of people were chattering in Mongolian. Jiang Bingzhong didn't understand a word, so he asked, "What are these talking about?"
Dong Laifu hurried forward and translated: "They were all saying they were willing to surrender. They tied up Oger and Ibili. They presented them as gifts to the army. They asked the army not to harm their families."
Jiang Bingzhong nodded and said: "The commander-in-chief has an order. As long as the enemy lays down his arms, our army will give preferential treatment. No one is allowed to plunder private property, and is not allowed to beat, scold or abuse. All family members will be protected."
Dong Laifu immediately translated it loudly in Mongolian. Hear the enemy's commander's promise. All the Mongolians breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, they didn't want to fight. They all felt like they had been granted amnesty, and some of the generals who refused to surrender were taken out one after another.
In recent years, under the oppression of Narenbaat'er, the Tumote tribe has had a very difficult time surviving. These Mongolians actually know some inside information. The top Taijis at that time plotted to murder the prince and rebel. In fact, it is unpopular.
Narenbaat'er brought his troops back to settle accounts with them, and they felt very happy. In fact, they all sympathized with the prince. I am not willing to sacrifice my life for the Taiji people at all.
Yang Fan and Zhang Shize were on the platform, watching that the town had returned to calm. Just understand. The battle is over. After a while, a large number of prisoners were escorted out of the south city gate.
Ogier and Iberita Bunang were carried in the procession on stretchers. The two looked frustrated. They never dreamed that Jining, a solid fortress outside the Great Wall, would fall so quickly.
But they were also a little lucky that Ming had captured them. If it fell into Jebie's hands, a bowl of kumiss would probably be indispensable. There needs to be some ingredients added in.
Zhang Shize stretched out and said, "This battle is not difficult at all."
Yang Fan smiled and said: "Eighty thousand people, fighting more than 3,000 people, what else do you want. Besides, our technical equipment is so far ahead, it is a completely crushing style of play. They can resist for so long, which is already very good." If it were a guard soldier, he probably wouldn't be able to survive for an hour."
Zhang Shize agreed. Indeed, this battle was a bit overkill.
"What to do with these prisoners? We can't take them to be naturalized."
"It is inconvenient for us to take prisoners with us. This time, I think there are about eight or nine hundred prisoners. I assigned the soldiers to two Mongolian families who surrendered. Let them form two battalions and follow us to attack Guihua City. As for these officers and nobles, send people to escort them back to the capital and leave them to His Majesty. By the way, chop off the heads of the enemies who have been killed, prepare them with salt, and send them back together."
Zhang Shize said: "It's okay, but it's troublesome to carry it around."
Zhang Shize said with emotion: "The Ming Dynasty's military equipment has been depleted for too long. This time, we wiped out more than 3,000 Mongolians, which is a rare victory since Xuanzong. Your Majesty is very happy now."
"Yes, His Majesty spent so much money on the capital camp. These prisoners are enough for him to sacrifice to the Ancestral Temple. It also makes him happy. I feel that the money was not wasted."
Yang Fan left a regiment to garrison in Jining. They are also responsible for the protection of the logistics transportation line from Guihua City to Jining. From Jining to the Great Wall, the regiment left behind in Zhangjiakou was responsible for protection.
This time many horses were captured. The herdsmen outside Jining City all drove their livestock into the city. This time tens of thousands of horses were captured. There are both war horses and rogue horses. It happened to be divided between the two remaining regiments. Turn them into mounted infantry.
These two regiments have horses, and each of them is given a three-eyed gun. This way it will be easier for them to patrol the transportation lines. After all, riding a horse is much more efficient than walking. As for them not being able to fight on horseback, that's simple. Just use the long spear and the three-eyed gun.
After a day of repairs in Jining, the army continued to set off, targeting the last outer fortress of Guihua City, Zhuozi Mountain City.
Two days later, four hundred miles of fast horses rushed into Fuchengmen. Go straight to the imperial city. The three knights shouted loudly about the great victory in the northwest while asking the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate to open the door and let them pass.
Many people in the inner city crowded on the roadside to watch, and they were still whispering excitedly.
"We won another battle, this time it's probably Uncle Dingyuan."
"It must be Uncle Dingyuan. The other generals haven't had decent results in many years."
"Isn't it? Starting from the temple, every time the news comes out, it's a defeat, a defeat, a defeat. It makes people feel discouraged. Hey!"
Chongzhen was reviewing the memorial when he saw Wang Chengen walking in with excitement on his face.
"You old dog, why are you so proud today?" Chongzhen scolded with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I am so happy, so happy." Wang Chengen said quickly.
"What happy event?" Chongzhen was a little surprised. He didn't think about Beijing Camp for a moment. Because some time ago, the Beijing camp reported that it was to avoid the snowstorm and delay the exit. The army has been repairing in Zhangjiakou.
In the past two days, Jin Yiwei has reported secretly that the heavy snowstorm outside the Great Wall has stopped. It is estimated that the army is about to set off.
"Your Majesty, the latest army has reported in. Dingyuan Bo's army fought hard for two days and captured the fortified city of Jining outside the Great Wall three days ago. They wiped out more than 3,000 enemies. They captured more than 100 officers and nobles below Iberita's cloth bag. There were also Two thousand captains rose up in front of the formation and opened the city gates for our army to respond. The army has now marched towards Zhuozi Mountain City, the last outlying stronghold of Guihua City."
Chongzhen suddenly stood up. His face turned red. It seemed like he couldn't believe his ears.
The first battle got off to a good start, not only annihilating more than 3,000 people, but also captured Jining City in two days. Jining is a fortified city built by the Yuan Dynasty. It is famous outside the Great Wall.
Chongzhen walked around excitedly and rubbed his hands. Said: "I know it, I know it. Uncle Dingyuan is good at using troops and is a good general in the world. As long as he uses Uncle Dingyuan, he will not let me down every time. This time he won another victory. It seems that Guihua City will be defeated sooner or later. Something in it.”
"This is all due to your majesty's great blessings and God's blessing, so that Uncle Dingyuan can attack cities and forts one after another, singing triumphant songs all the way."
Chongzhen became even more happy after hearing this. He laughed and scolded: "You old dog is the best at flattery. But this time the horse flattered me. I will reward you with a big front door cigarette."
When Wang Chengen heard this, he suddenly smiled. It was actually very hard for him to serve His Majesty, especially at night. Chongzhen was diligent and often worked late. He has to keep his spirits up at all times. This cigarette is a good thing. Especially refreshing.
His Majesty was more happy to reward him with cigarettes than with money.
