…
Counting from the Battle of Sarhu in the Wanli Dynasty, aside from other things, in terms of field battles, there has never been a record of the Ming army completely defeating the Jianlu.
Even in the bloody battle of the Hun River in the Tianqi Dynasty, the guest army aiding the Liao led by Bai Ganbing fought fiercely with the Jianlu in the Hunhe River. Although it caused a lot of casualties to the Jianlu, it was the Jianlu who won in the end.
The battlefield is ruthless, and the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy.
It was precisely on the black land of Liaodong that the Ming army's disastrous defeats and the Jianlu's victories created a chasm-like gap in mentality between the two sides.
"ah!!!"
Shimen Town, shrouded in darkness, looked like a Shura field. Standing with a sword in hand, Zhou Yuji roared into the sky, looking very ferocious.
Those eyes with fierce gazes were wide open, and the ringing in the ears echoed in my mind. When I saw it, I saw corpses strewn in the field, with broken limbs and broken arms, and countless brave guards with fierce faces scattered on the battlefield.
Everywhere on the battlefield.
"Won!!!"
"Ha ha……"
"I killed the Tatars!!!"
A series of crazy voices were heard in this Shura field at this moment, and the roars that were about to break the throat made people feel goosebumps.
Countless soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion were venting, roaring, and crying...
"Da da……"
In this noisy battlefield, the chaotic sound of horse hoofs sounded, and Fang Zhenghua, with blood splattered on his body, rode up to Zhou Yuji with a look of awe on his face.
In this battle against the Jianlu, their Yongwei Battalion's final victory depended entirely on Zhou Yuji's steady command. Otherwise, there would never have been such a victory.
"Have you killed all the scattered Jianlu remnants!?" Zhou Yuji opened his eyes slightly, looked coldly at Fang Zhenghua, who turned over and dismounted, and said, "You didn't ask them to escape!"
"No!"
Fang Zhenghua immediately said: "Let the eunuch cavalry team led by our family catch up and kill them one by one. And during the pursuit, a eunuch should have captured and killed a high-ranking Jianlu leader.
He is a descendant of Aixinjueluo!
Zheng Zhong, bring your severed head and waist badge!!"
"Here!"
Zhou Yuji was stunned for a moment, frowned and looked at Fang Zhenghua, and then looked at Zheng Zhong who was walking towards him. Under the faint firelight, his strong body made Zhou Yuji raise his eyebrows slightly.
He is so tall and majestic!
"Meet the general!"
Zheng Zhongti swiped a money rat's tail, cupped his fist and saluted Zhou Yuji: "General, this is the person I killed, I think his name is Saharin, this is his waist card."
"Bring the torch over here!"
Zhou Yuji took the waist tag that was handed to him. It was a little sticky. Under the light of the fire, Zhou Yuji saw the words written on the waist tag and frowned.
can't read……
"How do you know that he is a descendant of Aisin Gioro?"
Zhou Yuji held up the badge in his hand, frowned at Zheng Zhong and said, "You must know that lying in the military will be severely punished!"
"Back to the general, before I entered the palace, I was from Liaodong." Zheng Zhong clasped his fists and said, "I know a little about what Jianlu said and can understand it.
The younger one is that during the chase, I heard the fleeing Jianlu calling him Lord Beile. Before this guy died, he also called his own name, and there was also a man named Jilharang, so..."
"That seems to be correct."
Zhou Yuji frowned slightly and said, "Eunuch Fang, give him a temporary record and upgrade him to a higher level.
Zheng Zhong, pack up the head of Saharin and send it to Jizhou early tomorrow morning together with the heads of other Jianlu prisoners!
Someone is coming!!
Pass this general's order and call for the auxiliary soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion to clean up the battlefield immediately and chop off all the heads of the Jianlu who have been killed!!"
This time they defended the camp bravely. When they first arrived at Shimen Town, they encountered the invading Jianlu troops and wiped out all the Jianlu soldiers and horses they encountered.
This was definitely an extremely exciting victory for Zhou Yuji and Fang Zhenghua, as well as for the regular soldiers, military eunuchs, and auxiliary soldiers under the Yongwei Battalion!
"General Zhou, this time our Yongwei Battalion, when we first arrived at the front line of Shimen Town, wiped out a group of rebel troops. If this spread to the rear, it would definitely cause a sensation."
Fang Zhenghua was a little excited. He looked at Zhou Yuji and said, "Our brave guard camp has lived up to the emperor's high expectations, and we will definitely achieve something in the future!"
"Eunuch Fang, you must not be arrogant."
Zhou Yuji frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "We have achieved a complete victory in this battle, but the casualties suffered by the Yongwei Battalion are probably not small.
The exact number of casualties is unclear at the moment. After the auxiliary troops clear the battlefield, we will jointly write a memorial and send it to Jizhou early tomorrow morning, and ask Mr. Sun Ge to deliver it to Shenjing.
If His Majesty hadn't ordered the troops to fight the battle before this, and distributed fine fire blunderbuss, thunder and other firearms to the Yongwei camp, the Yongwei camp would never have been able to win this battle!"
Fang Zhenghua fell silent.
The scene in my mind couldn't help but come to mind, when the Chinese army first faced the Jianlu, the Chinese army bravely defended the camp and fought hard against the invading Jianlu, throwing thunderbolts. It was really shocking.
This also made Fang Zhenghua strongly agree with what Zhou Yuji said.
"Also, from now on, everyone in the Brave Guard Battalion will no longer be able to call the warriors of the Brave Guard Battalion the name of the 'Martial Eunuchs'."
Looking at Zheng Zhong in front of him, Zhou Yuji thought of something, and then said to Fang Zhenghua standing next to him.
"From now on, they will be called the Yongwei Camp Iron Cavalry. Since they have entered the Yongwei Camp, they are members of the Yongwei Camp. They deserve this title!"
"..."
Fang Zhenghua and Zheng Zhong had different expressions on their faces when they heard what Zhou Yuji said.
In fact, as far as Fang Zhenghua is concerned, the group of eunuchs transferred to the Yongwei Camp were the criminals of the Ming Dynasty before, and they were willing to become Wei Zhongxian's minions who brought trouble to the imperial court.
Since the emperor's imperial edict, these eunuchs have been imprisoned and guarded, so deep down in Fang Zhenghua's heart, he doesn't have much recognition for them.
However, after experiencing this battle, the performance of the eunuchs he led also caused some changes in Fang Zhenghua, and he began to recognize the eunuchs under the jurisdiction of the Yongwei Battalion.
"The Iron Cavalry of the Brave Guard Battalion is willing to die for the Emperor!!"
Zheng Zhong, who was even more emotional, roared angrily, but then tears flowed down. During the time they were imprisoned and detained, they had to bear too much.
In fact, people who are burdened with too many things are not just political victims like them.
In such a turbulent situation, Emperor Chongzhen, who is far away in Shenjing, and Sun Chengzong, who serves as the imperial envoy for the temporary defense of the Three Guards...
Which one is not carrying too much stuff?
However, this time the Yongwei Battalion, under the command of Zhou Yuji, first arrived in Shimen Town and wiped out the small group of invading prisoners and achieved a great victory in Shimen Town. Once this news spreads, it will definitely give the Ming Dynasty a severe blow.
