"This battle is a great victory." Yang Er looked at the scene in front of him with an excited face. Beside him were Yang Yi, Cheng Fang and others, and some middle-level officers.

Yang Er is also the nominal commander. This time, the five thousand soldiers who fought, and the nearly three thousand were directly controlled by Hutchison. There are still two thousand people shared by Yang Yi and the other small hills, mainly mainly spearmen.

Hutchison did not look at the forces on these small hills, and they were quite consistent in training and supply, and did not make these people feel excluded and weakened. However, as time went by, all the leaders understood that only by relying on and integrating Hutchison could there be a future. Now they have consciously accepted Hutchison's position as an officer, and all the regulations and rules are also in accordance with Hutchison's rules. However, they have not received the training of the complete military training department, and the officers are not from the Hutchison's official school system, and have not been fully integrated in some small life and command details. However, at least in name, they are completely part of the merchant army.

"Cheng Fang." Yang Er turned to Cheng Fang and said, "If I follow my ideas, I will send troops along the retreat path in advance, and Jianlu should leave at least one thousand more people."

Cheng Fang smiled and said, "It's almost the same, but that doesn't match our army's overall strategy. We must not only attack the passageway in advance and cooperate with the army to clear the grassland in the future, but also not let the Jurchens be beaten too much, so that they can send their main force to come in the short term. This is the overall situation."

Yang Er smashed his mouth and said nothing.

Last time, Yang Er and others insisted on cooperating with the Ming army to open a channel to western Liaoning, in order to obtain cooperation with the main force of the Ming army and exchange materials.

As a result, Yang Er and others were disappointed. The Ming army confirmed that their abilities not only did not improve, but had significantly retreated. It can be said that the fighting will of Liao Town officers and soldiers nowadays is far behind that of the battle of Sarhu, even the battles of Liaoyang and Shenyang, and Guangning are far behind.

The Ming army's guest army was actually combat-effective, and as a result, all 30,000 were transferred away. Yang Er and others were disappointed after that battle and no longer mentioned cooperation with the Ming army. This time they received the order from the military order and opened the passage independently. They were very enthusiastic about this war, and they could even be said to be excited.

"Did the Military Office prohibit us from contacting western Liaoning?" Yang Er said with great interest: "Maybe we can repair Guangning and Xiping forts. In the western Liaoning, I heard that Lord Yuan is quite powerful. I want to see him. We are responsible for Guangning and they are responsible for repairing Daling River Fort. If this is the case, Jianlu will be locked on the Sancha River and cannot get through. If he wants to come over, Guangning can only take a detour from the Liaodong wall and have to go a long way."

Cheng Fang laughed and said, "What you guy is talking about is the grand strategy of the future. How can I be a family and a decision? I can only report your ideas. You can also report it yourself. But you are a regiment-level commander. Without the consent of the superior, you cannot leave the land of faith without permission, and you cannot agree to the officials of the Ming Dynasty."

"I don't think Lord Zhang will be so stubborn. He is not an adult anymore." Yang Er said casually: "Besides, I can report, it's also for the sake of business and for the sake of our own good."

"I think." Cheng Fang said slowly: "We have discussed this matter many times. I have expressed our views. Commander Yang should not argue again."

Xu Ming also said: "The recent major strategy of Hutchison is to first defeat Chahar, push the front to Nenjiang Korqin and Arukorqin, conquering Aohan and Naiman, and Bahrain tribes, and subdue the remnants of Khalkha tribes. After forming a solid front, we will talk about continuing to advance to the Guangning front line. Of course, if the army reaches the vicinity of Korqin, our Guangning will basically be responsible for echoing the army, which is also the reason why we break the gap in advance. At this time, it is not a wise move to contact the Ming Dynasty, and there is no need to do so. It will only expose the strength of Hutchison to the eyes of the court. I can't see any good results except causing trouble."

Yang Er wanted to speak but stopped. In fact, he wanted to say that there was no need for Hutchison to get along with the court. Lord Zhang had never rebelled and should not have rebelled. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty had no morals, especially if there were strong enemies outside and the chaos inside would be too unworthy.

But saying this will definitely make Cheng Fang and others unhappy and cause greater disputes. Yang Er was born as a leader in the battle industry, and his understanding of people's hearts is quite accurate.

But Yang Er definitely didn't think about himself carefully. This person's heart was filled with many unrealistic chivalrous ideas. In fact, we can't blame Yang Er. It is normal for him to fight for money and serve others as long as he gives money. But there are also some heroes, but compared to the famous heroes in ancient times, Yang Er is one of them. Those who can leave their names in history books are absolutely extraordinary. It is impossible for ordinary people who are jealous of money, only care about themselves, and have no homeland.

"Okay, let's not talk about it for the time being." Yang Er said with a smile: "Let's go and see the battlefield cleaning."

"Be careful, too." Yang Yi said: "We need to send a sharp whistle to the whistle. I suspect that reinforcements may come from Jianlu."

"It is also possible." Cheng Fang said: "We must act carefully and not be complacent."

Yang Yi felt that Cheng Fang was talking about him. He turned his head and looked at him. Seeing that Cheng Fang was serious, he put down his suspicion and did not respond.

...

After the defeat and fleeing, Muhalian was not in a hurry to leave.

The Jurchens knew that there were no established cavalry on the mountain. In the past, there seemed to be no rebuilt cavalry on the mountain after a breakthrough. There were only a small number of cavalry as pond horses and pointed whistles. The unincorporated cavalry did not have much threat. The infantry behind them were as hard as rocks, but it was difficult to strike a fatal blow to the escaped Jurchens. There was no way to surround and annihilate them, and the results of the war ended here.

This is also the reason why Muhalian felt that the other party had no intention of chasing. Soldiers wearing heavy armor would soon exhaust their physical strength. If they intend to chase them, they would probably be killed back and lose the victory they had already won.

At this time, the heavy armored infantry behind him had already sat down to rest. Since the Jurchens had escaped not far, no one took off their armor and just rested cross-legged on the spot.

The spearmen and musketeers were searching for the battlefield. When Muha Company saw the seriously injured people being stabbed to death by the other party with sharp spears and bayonets, he couldn't help but sigh and turned his head.

A Jialaezhen suddenly said, "They have saved our people."

"I recognize it." Another officer next to Muhalian said excitedly: "That is their ambulance."

After several years of siege, many officers were quite familiar with the merchant army on the mountain and knew that they had excellent military and medical teams.

At this time, everyone turned around and saw that some of the wounded Jurchen soldiers were not killed because of their minor injuries, but were ordered to stand together, and a group of doctors in white coats were doing simple bandages for them.

"Even if these people are alive, they will be considered dead." Muhalian spoke, his voice became extremely hoarse. He smiled bitterly: "They may not have any good intentions to save people. Some were released before. The Han army was either killed or locked up. The Jurchens were not released. I heard that they were interrogated and questioned on the mountain, and then used hard labor to raise livestock and farm for them. It was very hard and said that they were atonement. I think if Lao Khan knew that they were captured, the families of these people would not have a good end. Don't talk about this."

Many Jurchen officers were silent, but the brutal light in their eyes slowly faded away, and they were a little confused and incredible. In their opinion, it was natural to kill all the wounded. Even if they killed all the prisoners, there was nothing wrong with slaughtering those unarmed civilians, regardless of the elderly, weak, women and children, they would kill them as long as they wanted.

The actions of these Han people in front of them are incomprehensible, but they are not unacceptable. You must know that you may encounter these enemies again in the future. If you die on the battlefield, it would be fine. If you are captured, you will not be tortured. Even if you are forced to serve hard labor, it would be better than beheaded.

The scattered team gradually left the battlefield. Most of the people successfully grabbed the horses, and a few of them had to escape on foot. Everyone was in a very embarrassing state. Without all their supplies, it was difficult to replenish supplies. There was a grain channel here on Korqin, but they were the ones who protected the grain channel. Now the grain channel has been cut off.

It takes at least ten days to walk from here to the wall area north of Shenyang. If there is no food supply, many people will starve to death during this journey. You can hunt while walking, but there will definitely be many people who will die of starvation.

By the evening, everyone was tired, everyone was hungry, and few people had food. After stopping, Muha collected some dry food and handed it over to dozens of cavalrymen, asking them to scattered slogans to prevent ambush and pursuers. Most of them slept directly in the wilderness to rest.

Some people couldn't stand their hunger and ran to the wilderness to hunt, but Muha didn't even ban it.

There are some ruts and sledge marks on the road, which are the remains of the prosperous food roads. It has been a long time since a huge convoy and sledge team passed by here.

Some seeds fell on the ground and grew into green wheat seedlings. They did not receive care and sufficient water. The wheat stems were very low and would not produce full wheat ears. Many people lie on the ground, pulling the wheat leaves in their hands and chewing them in their mouths. This did not satisfy hunger, but just made the mouth not empty.

"General, the losses of armored soldiers this time are a bit big." A Melezing hurried to Muhalian after counting the number of deaths and missing people and reported: "The losses of nearly 400 people, 70% of which are armored soldiers."

Muharen nodded and said, "There is no way. The front line must not let the soldiers and officers take over, otherwise we will be defeated faster."

This Mele Zhang Jing deeply agreed, but he still said with concern: "I'm afraid that I'm not easy to explain to Lao Khan after I go back."

"I will explain to Lao Khan." Muhalian smiled bitterly: "It's good this time, the enemy has no intention of eating us, otherwise I feel it will be more dangerous."
