Hearing the news of the Eight Banners Army's retreat, Li Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. Jinzhou is now very weak, and only a little more than two regiments can be put into defense. With this small force, if Huang Taiji really attacks, it is still unclear who will win.

The only thing Li Xiao relied on was the rocket launcher, which was regarded as a weapon of mass destruction in the next year.

Climbing the main position of Daheishan again, he walked on the scorched earth. This was the first time for Li Xiao to see such a battlefield in his two lifetimes. The ground seemed to have been plowed, and one foot was deep and the other was shallow when walking on it.

There are almost no stones, and the soil has turned into fine powder. If you step on it, it will be up to your ankles!

As he walked, Li Xiao bent down and picked up a finger from the ground. The finger was completely broken off. The bones were very white and the skin was very elastic. This should be the finger of a young man. Whether it belonged to the Liao Army or the Later Jin Army was unknown.

research.

The biggest casualties of Cao Wenzhao's troops came from local shelling, and the most violent shelling was when the Jin army rushed to the position and the two sides fought hand-to-hand.

It was a cruel tactic, but it was indeed effective. Using this tactic, they tore open the main position of Daheishan. If Yuan Chonghuan hadn't desperately attacked across the board, this hole would have become very fatal.

When the Liao army retreated, they hurriedly collected the corpses. But they were all larger corpses!

When the Jin army withdrew, they also collected their own corpses. Although they had plenty of time, they obviously didn't do it very seriously. You can always see this kind of finger on the battlefield, either half a palm or half a palm.

It was a complete foot, and Li Xiao stepped on a complete buttocks on a dirt bag.

There were many pieces of corpses, but there were no wild animals to gnaw at them. Even the annoying crows did not fly over to take away the pieces of meat that they could eat.

Many soldiers were carrying big baskets and picking up meat along the way. Regardless of whether it was the flesh on Pao Ze's body, just treat it as this. The people were dead, so they probably wouldn't care about the extra pieces of meat on their bodies.

Li Xiao wrapped his fingers in a handkerchief and put them in the earthen basket.

The two companies combed through it twice before confirming that there were no remaining weapons or corpse fragments on the position.

Some of the weapons will definitely be lost. After all, it was already dark when they retreated, and time was tight. There was no time to search like combing your hair! The Jin army occupied this place for two days, and they would not do nothing.

The corpses were placed at the foot of Dahei Mountain, piled with autumn dry firewood, and sprinkled with some kerosene. After throwing in a box of matches, a raging fire started.

The fragrance of pinewood covered up the smell of burnt flesh, and everyone stood at attention beside the pile of goods.

"Zhi Shilang in front of Changbai Mountain, wearing a pure red brocade back crotch.

The long branches penetrate half of the sky, and the wheel-shaped knife shines brightly in the sun.

Go up the mountain to eat roe deer, and go down the mountain to eat cattle and sheep.

Suddenly, when I heard the troops were arriving, I raised my sword and swung forward.

For example, if you die in Liaodong, beheading will hurt you." Li Xiao didn't have much ink in his belly, but he still knew the song "Wuxiang Liaodong's Death Song". There is no more appropriate song for this situation and situation than this song.

Ballads.

Liaodong! The sad place of the Han nation!

Whenever the Central Plains dynasty weakened, the Han family here was always slaughtered. During the Warring States Period, the Yan people once occupied this place. Later, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed and the Chu and Han Dynasties fought. As a result, the Chinese people in Liaodong were destroyed by the Donghu and Huns.

They were killed so much that they were left with bones lying thousands of miles away.

During the four hundred years of the Han Dynasty, Liaodong was once again occupied by the Han people. After the Jin Dynasty, the Five Husties invaded China, and this area was once again turned into a wasteland by the Hu people.

The Sui and Tang Dynasties repeatedly conquered Liaodong, and finally the Han Dynasty finally reconquered it. However, during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Khitan people slaughtered all the Han people here.

The Jin people, the Mongols, and the Aixinjueluos of Nurhaci.

Liaodong was swept away again and again in this way. The heads of the Han people were like leeks in the field. One stubble popped up and another one was cut off. After one stubble was cut off, another stubble appeared again. For two thousand years, history has been constantly changing between white mountains and black waters.

Repeatedly.

Li Xiao bowed deeply to the fire, as a mantis blocking the wheel of history. Li Xiao hoped that his bones were hard enough to block the wheel for at least a moment.

In this black land soaked with the blood of the Han people, no more Han people will be slaughtered by foreigners.

There were snowflakes floating in the sky. They said they were snowflakes but they were actually snow particles. The snow particles the size of rice grains were blown very fast by the wind and hit their faces with burning pain. No one moved, everyone was waiting for the flames to go out. Work hard.

Collect ashes and put them in a jar!

The north wind roared, and the strong wind blew the heated carbon ash, ashes and other ashes away with the wind. The strong wind swirled and rolled the ashes and snow particles on the ground into the sky. "Woo" "Woo"

The wind howled in my ears, sounding like a ghost crying or a human murmuring.

You ask a question and I answer it! It’s up to you to guess what I said!

Li Xiao seemed to have guessed what they were talking about! "Bring it up."

A guy with his body wrapped like a mummy and one arm hanging around his neck was taken out by the guards.

"Commander, think twice! Yuan Keding suffered three serious injuries and fifteen minor injuries. One of his arms has been disabled. Since he fought bravely until death, please spare him this time." Zu Dashou walked out,

Holding his fists, his eyes were full of pleading.

"Spare him? Don't ask me, ask the grievances here who have been unwilling to disperse for a long time. The regulations clearly stipulate that ammunition trucks must be at least 200 meters away from artillery positions. Ask him, how did he command?

I let him go, but what do you say to the injustice here?

I will leave for Shandong in a few days. The old people are asking me for their sons, the young children are asking me for their fathers, and the women are asking me for their husbands. What should I say?

It takes eighteen years for a man to grow from the size of a brick to a man eight feet tall. Because of him, because he did not obey the orders, the entire artillery position was destroyed, and you, me and so many soldiers lost the cover of artillery fire.

Another person in Cao Wenzhao's company died last night, and now only four people in the company including Cao Wenzhao are alive. That's less than one in ten!

How many old men were left dead on that mountain. Faced with those people, how can I spare them?

Execution!"

Yuan Chonghuan closed his eyes in pain. His eldest brother had taken good care of him since he was a child. Knowing that he was fighting in Liaodong, he specially sent his beloved son to him. Yuan Keding had been smart since he was a child and could learn everything at a glance. Yuan Chonghuan sent him to him.

Go and learn artillery, the artillery is really accurate.

But...! Hey...!

He couldn't plead for mercy. He made such a big mistake.

Zu Dashou had no choice. What Yuan Keding committed this time was too big. There was no way to protect him!

If the entire army had not fought desperately and gained a temporary respite with huge casualties. The main force of the Eight Banners followed up in time that day, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Uncle Zu, second uncle, don't plead for me, I deserve to die. When my brothers were all dead, I knew that I deserved to die. But they were all dead, but I, the one who deserved the most, didn't die. I killed two of them with my own hands.

Tartars, I have made a little money for my brothers. If I go down... if I go down, I can give them an explanation!

Commander, I don’t ask you to spare my life. I just ask you to bury my ashes with my brothers. I feel sorry for them. When I get there, I will apologize to them.” Yuan Keding knelt on the ground with tears.

The bandage was soaked.

"You are still a man. I agree to your request. Execution!" Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. If Yuan Keding trains him, he will definitely become a general in the future. But now, everything has disappeared with the wind.

"Wait!" Yuan Chonghuan, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly shouted.

Li Xiao looked back at Yuan Chonghuan, but couldn't help but want to come out to plead for his nephew.

"Commander! Please let the general carry out the execution in person!" Yuan Chonghuan's eyes were red, and the muscles on his face were twitching constantly, trying hard not to shed tears.

"allow!"

Yuan Chonghuan walked behind Yuan Keding, pulled out his revolver and pressed it against the back of Yuan Keding's head. "Keding, have a good journey!"

"Bang!"

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Forbidden City, inside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Youjian was looking through Hong Chengchou's memorial: I paid a hundred bows to my emperor in Jinzhou and heard how ferocious the thieves were. I only knew it was true after the battle of Dahu Mountain.

On the third day of November, in the morning, the Liao army engaged in an artillery battle with the thieves. The thieves' bullets rained down like rain. The thieves' red barbarian cannons were firing around non-stop. Each time the cannon was hit, dozens of feet of erosion were destroyed, and everyone was broken into pieces.

physiological.

More than a hundred men under Cao Wenzhao of the Liao Army fought bravely with the thieves. By noon, only ten of them were alive...!

Wang Chengen observed that after Zhu Youjian read the memorial, he sat indifferently on his chair and did not move for a long time!

"Long live!" Fearing that His Majesty the Emperor might be in trouble, Wang Chengen bravely shouted softly.

"This is different from what Wu Sangui said! Shouldn't the Liao army be the ones with the sharpest firearms? Why are the Tatars' firearms so heavy that the Liao army can't even lift its head? Even the Liao army suffered heavy casualties and couldn't make any progress. I still have Ming Dynasty.

No strong army can fight. Li Xiao! Still can't move!" Zhu Youjian sighed, and all his original plans failed.

Judging from Hong Chengchou's memorial, it is certainly impossible to eliminate the Tatars and regain Liaodong in a short period of time.

This memorial was written by Hong Chengchou alone, and Li Xiao didn't even say anything. What does this mean? Could it be that Hong Chengchou was bribed by Li Xiao? Absolutely impossible. Hong Chengchou was Zhu Youjian's man a few years ago. The new emperor ascended the throne.

, he also received a rocket-like promotion. From a small Shaanxi grain inspector to participating in politics, he was promoted to the governor of Yansui and the chief envoy of Shaanxi.

Besides, Hong Chengchou probably had never met Li Xiao before this.

"Long live! In fact, this matter has such a result, I think it is a matter of reason. The Liao army led by Li Xiao, whether from the Ministry of War or from us asking Wu Sangui, there are probably more than 18,000 people, let's put it lightly.

There are twenty thousand people.

But long live, you have been negligent. Ao Canghai is leading the main force of the Liao army in Shandong. Those who are fighting against the Tatars are only part of the Liao army. Moreover, Li Xiao also has to divide his troops to defend Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou and other places. Those who came out in advance

The number of Liao troops is even more limited!

On the other hand, according to Hong Chengchou's memorial, it can be seen that the Tatars came out with all their elite troops. Even if Hong Chengchou was right, more than half of Yuan Chonghuan's troops suffered casualties. Even so, they only severely damaged Yuan Chonghuan's troops.

The Tatars came out with all their elite troops, but they were unable to kill the Liao army led by Yuan Chonghuan. Moreover, they suffered a small loss during the pursuit. This is enough to prove that Wu Sangui's words are true. The Liao army's combat power is really that of the Tatars.
