The win is undisputed, the win is upright, and there is no opportunism in the win.
It's a face-to-face confrontation.
It’s the competition and collision of muscle strength and muscle strength!
Although the Muscle Corps has the advantage in terms of weapons, it has always been at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, so this is definitely a fair contest.
The results fully prove the following facts:
In the competition and collision between farming civilization and barbarian civilization, farming civilization can gain the upper hand!
In the war between civilization and barbarism, civilized people do not have to use advanced weapons such as muskets and artillery. Civilized people can still win with their muscle strength!
What determines the outcome of a war is not only weapons, but also physical fitness, discipline, tenacious fighting will and bloody courage that is not afraid of any opponent. As long as you have these, you can face even the most ferocious and arrogant barbarians with a single blow.
Split it in half!
No matter what field it is in, as long as there is sufficient material, coupled with the spirit of being enterprising, daring to fight, not afraid of challenges, and the very important unity and cooperation, civilized people will have the absolute upper hand and can never be defeated by barbarians.
!
And this is the significance of this battle at Daxingzhuang. It broke the myth of the so-called "Jurchens are invincible" and broke the cowardice and fear of "not fighting with barbarians" that is deeply rooted in the genes of countless people.
In the battle just now, the Xujiazhuang Muscle Corps could win, but they were also civilized people, so why couldn't they do it at all?
But after this war is over.
Shi Yong immediately ordered to break camp and retreat, to distance himself from the Hou Jin army, and quickly retreated to Tongzhou City for repairs. No more fighting could be fought in a short period of time.
Because the loss of the muscle army was too great.
167 people died in the battle.
385 people were seriously injured.
Minor injuries are not included in the statistics. Everyone suffered some minor injuries anyway.
In addition to the previous operations to sweep the surrounding area, 21 people were killed and 113 were injured.
The total casualties of the Muscle Corps were close to 700, almost one-tenth of the total number of people.
But there is no way. Even if the defense of the muscular men is sufficient, there will always be various special situations on the battlefield.
Like being hit hard on the head.
An arrow penetrated the gap in the plate helmet.
His body was knocked away and trampled by horses.
Was shot by the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
Affected by burning kerosene.
There's also food poisoning and illness.
The damage caused by the above situations is beyond the defense of plate armor, and there is no way to do it.
So we can't continue fighting like this. Although the eight thousand muscular men in the Muscle Legion seem to be rough people, their cultural level is not low, their abilities are very outstanding, and they are all elites. If they are killed or injured in battle,
If there are too many left, it will be a huge loss to Xujiazhuang, and it will also affect the morale of the army, and even damage the wise image of the village owner.
And even if they want to fight, Xu Jiajun can no longer fight the entire Hou Jin army with his own strength. He must recruit a group of helpers. It is too risky to fight alone.
So Xujiazhuang's intelligence system took action, sent a large number of special envoys, and quickly contacted many armies.
…
Within the capital.
Lu Xiangsheng, the commander-in-chief of the Tianxiong Army stationed in the south of the city, was extremely surprised after hearing Qichunnian's introduction to the situation.
"Seriously? You said that the Xu family army has killed more than 40,000 Jianzhou slave Tatars, and more than 20,000 of them were Jianzhou real Tatars. This..."
"These photos are absolutely true. It's just that our muscle army didn't cut off the heads because they thought it would be troublesome to carry the heads... Mr. Lu, the slave army has been crippled by us. If we are afraid of the attack, we will run away soon. You
Don’t you want to chase after them and make achievements? What a great opportunity.” Qichunnian showed him a lot of bloody pictures and gave him suggestions.
"I will go to the palace right away. As long as Your Majesty agrees, I will immediately lead the Tianxiong army to hunt him down!"
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't sit still. He wanted to expel the slaves and protect more people. He immediately went to the palace and asked to see the emperor.
…
Inside the palace.
Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, who had not slept well for several days, did not know whether he should be happy or unhappy when he learned that Xujiazhuang had sent troops to help and had killed tens of thousands of Jiu slaves.
Xu Jiajun came thousands of miles to come to his aid. This proactive gesture of goodwill is worthy of joy.
But is Xu Jiajun really here to help Ming Dynasty? Why was there no advance notice and discussion? Could there be other evil intentions?
What's more, the Ming Dynasty has countless elite troops and is capable of dealing with the Jiannu slaves entering the customs. Does it need a merchant force to assist? Once the Xu family army has figured out the terrain and pattern of the capital area, if one day they attack the capital, they will launch a sudden attack.
If you are familiar with the road, what can the court do to resist it?
Zhu Youjian's vigilance and preparedness soon gained the upper hand. He said to Lu Xiangsheng: "This matter cannot be fully believed. It is too dangerous to go out to the city to fight in the field. Don't act rashly! It is better to stay in the capital for a few more days until Jiannu really leaves.
Take action again.”
"Your Majesty, this is a rare opportunity. The Xu Jiajun is extremely powerful. If the imperial court cooperates with the Xu Jiajun, they may be able to wipe out all the slave-building armies entering the pass, making it impossible for them to enter the pass. They can also send troops to destroy their lairs and take back all the land in Liaodong.
, completely eliminate the major troubles in the north, and Pingliao will be achieved!" Lu Xiangsheng tried his best to persuade.
"this……"
Zhu Youjian's heart was moved, very much, but he still said: "Ai Qing, wait, wait, wait, this may be Xujiazhuang's conspiracy, don't believe it all!"
"Why!"
Lu Xiangsheng sighed helplessly. He was suspicious. His Majesty was too suspicious of Xujiazhuang. In fact, it was completely unnecessary. Anyone who had been to Xujiazhuang Harbor City would come to the conclusion that "Xujiazhuang either has no ambitions or his ambitions have been realized."
, if Xujiazhuang really wanted to conquer the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that he would have done it long ago and would have achieved this goal long ago. It is precisely because he did not have the idea of destroying the Ming Dynasty that the Ming Dynasty can survive peacefully until now.
It's just that His Majesty is too stubborn and has never been to Harbor City, so considering it from his own perspective, he can only make a conservative choice.
Reluctantly leaving the palace.
Just halfway there, Lu Xiangsheng heard a piece of news that made him feel numb: Tianxiong's army was leaving the city! Ignoring the court's strict orders, he opened the city gate himself and rushed out of the city because he didn't want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune.
, after all, the emperor’s reward for the heads of slaves was 50 taels of silver each. As long as they could chop off a few, they would get rich!
"You bastards, who asked you to leave the city on your own? Come back quickly!"
Lu Xiangsheng immediately accelerated his bicycle speed and chased directly out of Yongding Gate in the south of the city. Not only did he fail to bring the Tianxiong Army back, but he was coerced by his subordinates and had to join the Xu Jiajun's temporarily formed 'Allied Forces to Destroy the Money'.
Lu Xiangsheng disapproved of this coalition and was quite resistant to it, but the goal of 'eliminating gold' was very attractive to him, so he was in a contradictory state of being mentally resistant but physically cooperating actively.
…
in addition.
In the past two days, the Tongzhou Army led by General Yang Yufan of Tongzhou, the Tianjin Army led by Tianjin General Wang Hong, and the Jimen Army led by Deng Qi, the General Soldier of Jimen, all returned to their respective hometowns at a very fast marching speed.
These three elite armies did not dare to engage in wild battles with the Jin army.
He also did not enter the capital to visit the king and strengthen the defense of the capital.
They just want to return to their hometowns and protect the safety of their families and property. They only see their own small families. Without everyone like the country, they have fallen to the point where they can only fight for themselves and their interests.
However, after the representatives sent by the Xujiazhuang Intelligence System found the three general soldiers, they immediately recruited 30,000 elites and decisively joined the 'Allied Forces to Destroy the Money'.
Because the head of a slave Tatar is 50 taels.
Live prisoners can also be sold to the Xujiazhuang caravan for 30 silver dollars each, with no quantity limit.
"The heads of slaves are very valuable. What if we behead hundreds of thousands of people and His Majesty doesn't have enough money?" Yang Yufan raised his concerns.
"Tianxiatong Bank can provide loans to the emperor and pay with the loans."
"But His Majesty hates us very much. Even if we have made meritorious service, what should we do if we are not willing to reward us with silver?" Yang Yufan asked again.
"We have so many elite troops, and it is reasonable and reasonable to ask for the silver reward that belongs to us. How dare the court refuse to give it to us? Aren't those civil servants who want to steal our money afraid of the sword in our hands?"
"Okay, I'll do it!" Yang Yufan no longer had any worries.
Wang Hong, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin, and Deng Qi, the commander-in-chief of Jimen, also went through a similar persuasion process.
in this way.
The 'Allied Forces to Destroy the Gold' led by Xu Jiajun has attracted a total of 40,000 elite troops from the imperial court.
But this number of people is still not enough insurance.
We still need to recruit a few more armies to come over.
On October 2, Cao Wenzhao's 3,000 Guanning cavalry also joined the Jin-eradicated coalition.
On the third day, Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of the Ningyuan regiment, also secretly joined the Jin-eradicated coalition with a total of 6,000 cavalry (that is, he did not publicly announce his joining).
On the fourth day, more soldiers and horses from the imperial court joined in, such as Zu Dabi, three thousand cavalry led by Wang Yinghui, and Shanhaiguan generals You Shiwei, Zu Kuan, and Yang Guozhu, who also brought five thousand infantry.
In addition, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi Province.
Chen Qiyu, the governor of the five provinces, led tens of thousands of troops.
Changping Army General Zuo Liangyu's six thousand troops.
The five thousand white-armed soldiers led by Qin Liangyu, the chieftain of Shizhu, Sichuan.
As well as the troops and horses led by generals such as Li Bei, Ai Wannian, Tang Jiuzhou, etc.
Waiting for these armies, some are about to arrive in Gyeonggi Province, some can arrive in two days, and their marching speed has increased significantly.
The total number of the above-mentioned armies is estimated to be close to 200,000. In terms of number, they are no less than the Hou Jin army who entered the pass, only more than them!
However, at this time, the Hou Jin Army had already begun to withdraw northward, leaving Fangshan County and retreating to the Changping area. They were passing through the Juyongguan Great Wall, moving bit by bit towards Yanqing Prefecture, and then passed through the Longmenkou Pass, the previously broken Great Wall Pass, and returned to
To the prairie to the north.
But the movement speed of the Hou Jin Army was too slow.
They were reluctant to part with the captured grain, livestock, women and gold and silver property, so they had to take these with them and walk on rugged mountain roads. The average daily marching distance was no more than twenty miles.
Until October 5th, there were still more than 50,000 Houjin troops, who had to stay in Changping to help move supplies and prevent attacks on the back road.
But the more they worry about something, the more something will come.
So on the afternoon of the 5th.
The Xujiazhuang Muscle Corps reduced its number of participants to 6,000.
With the Tianxiong Army of 10,000 people and the elite troops of Yang, Wang and Deng of 30,000 people.
In addition, the Guan Ning cavalry led by Cao Wenzhao, Wu Xiang, Zu Dabi, and Wang Yinghui totaled 12,000 people.
A total of 58,000 troops.
Launched the most violent joint attack against the Jin Army's remaining army after breaking off the rear!
