Chapter 510 Burning the two mausoleums
On the battlefield, the shouts of killing gradually faded away. In the wilderness in the northeastern suburbs of Chenyang, there were still faint smoke floating everywhere. On the black and gray earth, there were many other colors, which were the bodies of tens of thousands of Qing soldiers covering the earth.
The battlefield after the war was filled with a desolate atmosphere. The Qing soldiers wearing various armors were killed. The ownerless war horses plucked the dead grass next to the corpse and made waves of wail.
This war was extremely desolate for the Qing army and Hong Chengchou, but it was a boost of morale for the Ming army.
In the distance, the coalition soldiers who reached the top were cheering from waves higher and higher.
The continuous victory made the Korean army admire Zhao Ming extremely. Even the Japanese soldiers who took money to do business also threw themselves into Zhao Ming's five bodies, Zun as the God of War, shouting, "The vassal master is on board!"
At this time, Zhao Ming rode slowly and walked through the battlefield. Both sides were covered with corpses, scattered weapons, armor and flags, and flowing blood, dyeing the black soil into purple and black.
At this time, groups of Qing army prisoners were escorted by the Ming army and gathered together. The Ming army soldiers walked among the bodies, packed up their weapons, and moved away the unowned war horses. The large group of Ming cavalry galloped past and chased south.
In the distance, the Manchu nobles who were left behind in the city saw Hong Chengchou's defeat, the Qing army's armed forces outside the pass suffered a devastating blow, and they felt desperate, ignited their houses and houses, and a raging fire lit up in the city.
The people who could run in the city fled from the south gate in a hurry. The old and weak knew that it was difficult to escape. They either burned themselves to death or hanged themselves to the river and died.
For a moment, the pond in Chenyang City was full of body, and there were also a layer of floating corpses floating on the Liao River outside the city, which was extremely miserable.
The Eight Banners' family members who have been majestic outside the pass for many years never expected that they would have such a day.
At this time, a sound of horse hooves turned around. Xie Qian rushed to Zhao Ming and said excitedly: "Master, Bayan was shot to death by muskets. The Qing army collapsed across the board. Hong Chengchou fled south! Bran, who was guarding the Huang Taiji Mausoleum, burned himself in the main hall of the tomb, and Han Dai surrendered in Shizui Mountain and wanted to be the slave of the commander! In this battle, the Qing army outside the pass was completely finished!"
Many Ming generals had an excited expression on their faces. Since the Liao incident, the Ming Dynasty has been passively beaten and lost its troops and territory. Today, they are about to capture Chenyang, and everyone is not unhappy.
Zhao Ming smiled on his face, "Okay, since the old slave rebelled, Liaodong has been trapped in the hands of a thief, for more than thirty years! Today, Chenyang is restored to the hands of the soldiers of our Donghai Town. It can be said that it is avenging the previous shame and the glory of our Donghai Town!"
The many generals around him were all excited, "This is the glory of the Grand Marshal!"
Zhao Ming waved his hand and continued: "Now no one is guarding Shenyang. He ordered the cavalry to continue chasing the defeated soldiers. The Korean army cleared the battlefield, and the rest of the troops were collected from Shenyang City!"
Xie Qian and others hurriedly took the order, and after saluting, they pulled out their horses and left.
However, a horn sounded in the wilderness, and the soldiers of each battalion recognized the flags they commanded and quickly gathered together. After a little group, they drove towards Chenyang City in a mighty manner.
On the war horse, Zhao Ming rode his horse and saw the smoke in the distance. He saw the East China Sea soldiers who were quickly advancing towards Chenyang under the military flag. He couldn't help but be excited.
In Zhaoling, Tang Tong, Li Benshen and other generals attacked the tomb, and the coalition soldiers chased and killed the Manchu family members in the tomb.
Tang Tong held a blood-dropping battle knife and looked at the burning main hall, and couldn't help but feel a little moved.
The man from Chenyang did not expect that there would be such a day, lying in the tomb of Huang Taiji, and he would never expect that there would be such a day. As a former minister of the Nine-Border Warrior of the Ming Dynasty, Tang Tong never expected that he would see a scene in front of him during his lifetime.
"General Tang, what should I do next?" Li Benshen glanced at the burning main hall and asked.
Tang Tong felt quite moved. He glanced at the tomb, fled in a hurry, knelt down and begged for mercy, and suddenly said ruthlessly: "Hu has no fortune in a century. I think Marshal Zhao is a person who can accomplish great things. Now that things have come to this, we might as well accept a letter of fame!"
Li Benshen understood immediately, and showed a fierce look on his face, "How to accept it?"
Tang Tong gritted his teeth and said, "Does the tomb and kill them all!"
On Shizui Mountain, Han Dai led the remaining troops to surrender and was taken down the mountain by the coalition forces. The Koreans occupied the Dongling.
Han Dai and others, under the supervision of the soldiers, walked to the foot of the mountain. The cheers of the coalition forces sounded at the top of the mountain, causing all the people escorted down the mountain to bow their heads and bow their hands, feeling sad.
Han Dai walked to the foot of the mountain, looked back from time to time, and looked at Dongling on the top of the mountain, his eyes full of loneliness.
Suddenly, he stopped, and cheers like tsunamis sounded from the hills behind him, and then thick smoke rose into the sky on the hills, and the Korean army burned Nurhaci's tomb.
The Manchu family members who were escorted forward all turned around and couldn't help but burst into tears, feeling extremely painful inside.
The Battle in the northern suburbs of Chenyang ended, and the entire battle outside the pass had basically come to an end.
This battle last year to the present, it has been fought intermittently for nearly a year and a half. The Qing army lost about 60,000 elite troops outside North Korea and the pass, and the navy lost more than 20,000 people, which combined lost 80,000 people.
Dorgun and the Qing court spent a lot of money to buy warships, artillery, muskets, training naval troops and new land divisions from the Dutch and Spanish, were basically destroyed by Donghai Town, and they suffered heavy losses.
In this battle, Donghai Town not only destroyed tens of thousands of Qing troops, but more importantly, it interrupted the path of military innovation and military westernization of the Qing Dynasty, which had far-reaching strategic significance.
After the battle, Tang Tong and others massacred all the Manchu family members and Baoyi slaves in the Huang Taiji Mausoleum, and then burned the Beiling.
Han Dai led more than 10,000 old, weak, women and children in Manchus. After surrendering to the Ming army, Lin Qingzhi led the Korean army to occupy the Dongling Tomb of Chenyang, excavated the old slave's body to vent his anger, and then set fire to burn the old slave's tomb.
After Hong Chengchou's defeat, black smoke emitting from Chenyang City, and the remaining soldiers who were guarding fled in a hurry. Many people gathered on the Liaohe Plain. After learning about the defeat of the Qing army, they were afraid of the Ming army's revenge and fled to the pass with their families.
The Eight Banners' family members knew their crimes very well. They did not dare to stay in Liao. In the first heavy snow that floated outside the pass, they fled towards Shanhaiguan. Fleeing crowds were everywhere in the corridors of western Liaoning.
Ten days later, dozens of cavalry rushed outside Shanhai Pass, and Hong Chengchou entered the pass in panic.
Originally, Hong Chengchou didn't want to run away, but if it fell into Zhao Ming's hands, the outcome would be extremely terrible. In order to have a decent ending, Hong Chengchou traveled for nearly ten days and finally fled to Shanhaiguan.
"Sir Zhongtang, we escaped!" The door was closed and the cavalry rushed in, all full of joy.
