Chapter 557: A good start

It was Mang Gurtai who was targeted by Qi Jin.

He has been very frustrated these past few months.

In the two battles between Liao and Shen, his Zhenglan Banner suffered the greatest losses.

Even though his father Khan had given him help from here and there, he now only had more than 4,000 soldiers who could go into battle with the Blue Flag.

On the other hand, Amin, although the soldiers under his blue flag were not as brave and elite as his own, there were many of them, eight or nine thousand.

How can Mang Gurtai, who has always been proud and conceited, accept this?

And Nuerhachi is also a good person, so he can naturally see Mang Gurtai's dissatisfaction and aggrievedness.

So he gave various hints, saying that as long as he performed well in the invasion of North Korea and made more achievements, he could add a few more records to the Xianglan Banner.

With the support of his father, Mang Gurtai regained hope in his heart.

So he ignored the military orders and without telling the other Baylor banner leaders, including his father Khan, divided his only 4,000 people into several small troops.

With the temporary base camp of Ji County as the center, they dispersed their forces in all directions.

Just to grab more money, food and supplies so that they can compete with Huang Taiji and Du Du.

However, he didn't know that Qi Jin was waiting for such an opportunity.

So when they were having a great time robbing them and without any precautions, Qi Jin personally selected a thousand elites and launched a night attack.

An entire group of Niu Lu's armored soldiers were all beheaded by the Ming army overnight.

When Mang Gurtai, who was dozens of miles away, arrived with reinforcements the next day, all he saw were headless corpses strewn on the ground.

Even their armor and weapons were stripped off, which was really a shame and humiliation.

Mang Gurtai did not know that the Ming army from Pidao had already landed in North Korea and that it was their masterpiece.

Angry, he put all his hatred on the North Korean army.

After suffering a big loss, Mang Gurtai became more cautious and immediately retracted the dispersed army.

At the same time, a large number of sentries and scouts were sent out to search for traces of the Korean army all over the world.

Although the Ming army ate a thousand soldiers and built a complete system of cattle records.

Not only Li Hu and a group of North Korean generals were shocked, but even the Ming army, including Qi Jin himself, felt a little dreamy.

This was simply impossible to happen before.

Although the Ming army itself suffered more than a hundred casualties.

But this battle was undoubtedly a great victory.

It is a pity that the Ming army contributed to this battle from beginning to end, and the Korean army was just a spectator. Otherwise, Li Hu would definitely take the credit.

"Although the general did not participate in this battle, it is still helpful to our army. The general can take these fifty slave heads."

Li Hu didn't expect Qi Jin to be so interesting. Fifty heads were a great achievement.

He gave it to me without even blinking, which was really unexpected.

He was already greedy, so he naturally smiled broadly. After a few words of pretense, he said, "It's better to obey than to be respectful."

After the military merits were divided, both families were naturally happy, and the alliance between Qi Jin and Li Hu became even deeper.

Qi Jin got off to a good start, and Xiong Tingbi was not idle either.

He decided to take a risk and let Li Huaixin lead five thousand cavalry. Under the guidance of the leading party, he perfectly bypassed the Sarhu Pass, which was heavily guarded by Jiannu troops.

Instead, they took a mountain trail and trekked for five days until they arrived near Hetuala, the core area of ​​Jiannu.

Despite this, Li Huaixin, who had stern instructions from Xiong Tingbi, decided to act safely.

He sent out all the night guards and found out all the situations within a dozen miles.

After ensuring that he was absolutely safe, his wariness finally disappeared.

"After I go back, I will report the truth to the Taiwanese authorities and mark the two of you as a great meritorious deed."

"When the wild boar skins are wiped out in the future, you two will still be able to lose the status of Thousand Households with this skill."

Artu and Boggs looked at each other and smiled, feeling that their future was bright.

They had read the Ming Emperor's imperial edict, and they believed that Xiong Tingbi would never dare to do such a thing as demolishing a bridge in a river.

Otherwise, why would they bring the Ming army here?

The leader, Boggs, clasped his fists in public and said:

"Thank you very much, General."

"As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick. I hope the general will not delay any longer and lead his troops immediately to attack every weak point."

"We can just go back the same way then."

With these two insiders leading the way, Li Huaixin's raid was very fruitful.

Because the old slaves took away most of the young and strong soldiers, the red flags and the yellow flags were concentrated in Sarhu Pass and Hetuala.

Therefore, the residential areas where slaves were built could be said to have no ability to resist.

Except for a few young people who were not recruited and those who held the red flag, they were basically old, weak, women and children.

As for Xiong Tingbi's military order, no matter how old or weak you are, as long as you are a Jiannu, no one can be spared.

As Xiong Tingbi's confidant general, Li Huaixin was naturally not the kind of person to be kind to women.

It can be said that he implemented Xiong Tingbi's military orders to the end.

"Remember everything, move quickly, strike hard, and leave no living creature behind."

"After you're done, don't just focus on the heads. Light the fire for me and burn him completely."

"General, don't worry, we will not let him down."

Several thousand guards immediately took the order and left. They were very relaxed at this time, and they didn't feel the tension of facing a battle at all.

For them, killing these unarmed slaves is not just a matter of holding hands.

What most inspired the fighting spirit of the Ming army was the imperial edict issued by Zhu Youxiao.

Regardless of whether it is a woman, a child, the old or the weak, as long as it is a slave's head, it will be counted as a military merit and can be reported to the court for a silver reward.

Although they are not as valuable as Jiannu soldiers and young men, mosquitoes are still meat no matter how small they are. It would be foolish not to earn money if you have money.

Therefore, with the support of so many buffs, the Ming army could kill more than just one person.

This kind of scene is almost comparable to the time when Boar Skin massacred the Han people in Liaodong.

Li Huaixin witnessed with his own eyes how Liaodong became a hell on earth.

Today, he was able to treat others in their own way, and I couldn't be happier.

However, Artu and Boggs did not have any resistance to the actions of the Ming army.

Since they brought the Ming army here, they naturally thought of all aspects and situations.

Besides, the two of them are not from Jianzhou Wei, they are both outsiders.

Atu is from the Hada tribe, and Boges is even a Mongolian.

Therefore, in this case, let alone loyalty and affection, he followed Nuerhachi out of interests and helplessness.

Jiannu, who was huddled in his thatched house for the winter, never imagined that the Ming army would suddenly attack.

Many people did not even understand the situation and had no idea what was happening, so they died under random knife attacks.

A young Jiannu who was sleeping on the kang was woken up in his sleep and heard the commotion outside and the constant shouting of killing.

I immediately felt something bad, so I stood up and opened the door to take a look. Before I could react, a war horse suddenly flew past in front of me.

He felt his face come into close contact with the cold ground, and then lost consciousness.
