Chapter 856

After all, the young and strong suffered heavy losses in the siege, leaving behind many women who lost their husbands, children who lost their fathers, and parents who lost their sons. These homeless women, children, elderly and weak were also properly placed. The young widows and young girls were left behind and allowed to choose a good husband in the Huai Army. As long as both sides met, they would become husband and wife. The elderly and children were placed in military offices in various places, and the military households raised them.

After identification, some officers with heavy blood debts were executed, and some Green Camp soldiers who committed crimes would be sent to work as coolies in the mines to death. Those Green Camp soldiers who had no crimes and the Mongolian Eight Banners soldiers were all assigned to the auxiliary soldiers of the Huai Army.

More than 200 captured Han Eight Banners soldiers, Li Guodong frowned and ordered all the traitors to behead them.

The Huai Army also captured more than 300 Eight Banners soldiers of the Manchus. How to treat these Eight Banners soldiers? Originally, Li Guodong's idea was to send them to Nanjing to offer prisoners. But he also considered that if Chongzhen was in a good mood and released all these prisoners, wouldn't it be in vain?

Li Guodong had offered prisoners several times before. At that time, the Ming army was defeated in a row and Jiannu invaded and robbed. Chongzhen wanted to kill more groups of Qing soldiers to relieve his hatred. Therefore, after the prisoner offering ceremony, all the captured Eight Banners soldiers were killed. But now it is a little different. Yangzhou has achieved an unprecedented victory. Chongzhen was in a good mood and might pardon the Eight Banners soldiers.

"Do all the Eight Banners of Manchuria be detained for the time being. When the Qiongzhou iron mine is started in the future, they will be sent to work for a few years. Depending on how good they perform, they will be in the army in the future and conquer the other side of the ocean with the Mongolian prisoners." Li Guodong finally made the decision.

In the future, across the ocean, there will be the exile place for prisoners. All kinds of prisoners will be sent there to compete with Bai Pi for territory and establish a great Chinese empire on the American continent.

Light cavalry, dragon cavalry, night Busuo and scattered soldiers followed the Qing army and chased them reluctantly. These are light armored cavalry or horse-riding infantry. In fact, when the dragon cavalry and scattered soldiers are chasing the enemy, they can also be used as light cavalry. If you catch up with the Qing army, just use a light knife from behind and use the rushing force of the war horse, a head will fly into the sky.

The loaded projectiles in each dragon cavalry and foxgun are never used easily. Only when they encounter elite Eight Banners soldiers wearing armor will they use the musket to shoot.

The light-armored infantry of the Ming army also followed the Qing army in the Green Camp and the Eight Banners soldiers who had lost their war horses and chased each other reluctantly. From time to time, they shot a crossbow arrow from behind the Qing army, either chasing the Qing army and slashing down with one knife; or stabbing down with a spear.

The so-called light-armored infantry is an infantry equipped with light armor in the Huai Army. These infantry use heavy weapons such as crossbows, swords, heavy swords, long axes, nails, and heavy spears. Light-armored infantry is not only the nemesis of heavy infantry, but also an important unit for pursuing enemy infantry. These light-armored infantry armors are weak, but they move fast, and are suitable for pursuing enemy infantry.

"Brothers, let's chase quickly, don't let Jiannu run away!" All grassroots officers urged the soldiers to speed up and follow the defeated Qing army and chased them reluctantly.

Although it is an infantry, the endurance of light armored infantry is not bad. The marching speed of light cavalry can reach 180 miles a day, but that is the limit of the marching of Mongolian cavalry with one person and more horses, and normal cavalry can only travel a hundred miles a day; while the limit speed of light infantry can reach 140 miles a day, and the normal marching speed can reach 1100 miles a day, and the endurance is not worse than that of cavalry.

The fastest marching speed of cavalry in human history was Cao Cao's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry during the Three Kingdoms period, which once traveled 300 miles a day. However, this kind of elite cavalry unit was one person and more horses, and every soldier of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry was the officer who led the troops when he got the other troops.

The reason why infantry marching speed is not as fast as cavalry is because the previous army had no faith, so soldiers could not have such strong endurance. Li Guodong's Huai Army was a faithful army, and this belief was nationalism inspired by Li Guodong. The ordinary Ming people at that time had no nationalism, and Li Guodong in the army inspired the nationalist spirit of soldiers through ideological education, art troupes and opera troupes, and the debate between Chinese and foreigners among the people.

Once an army has faith, it has the spirit of fearlessness and amazing perseverance, and it is an invincible iron army.

The Huai Army used light cavalry, dragon cavalry, and did not stop at night. Scattered soldiers and light armored infantry followed the Qing army and adopted various methods of pursuit, such as follow-up pursuit, parallel pursuit, and roundabout pursuit, which made the Qing army unable to collect the remaining soldiers and did not get any chance to breathe.

Although Duoduo and his white-armored soldiers grabbed the war horses, their lives were not easy. The Ming army's Yebusuo and special forces such as scattered soldiers were catching up from time to time. Yebusuo, who caught up with Duoduo and his Yebusuo did not go head-on with the white-armored soldiers, but sent a signal to tell their comrades that they had discovered Duoduo.

When Ye Bu sent out the fireworks signal, the first person who came was the scattered soldiers who were almost armorless and rode the fastest.

The scattered soldiers naturally did not approach the white-armored soldiers, but followed far behind. At the distance when the Qing army's white-armored soldiers could not shoot at their distance, they shot with rifled guns, just like shooting a live target, knocking down the white-armored soldiers around Duoduo one by one from the horse's back.

"Damn Minggou, you are just powerful with your firearms. Do you dare to come up and fight us to the death?" Duoduo roared angrily.

A white-armored soldier strangled his war horses and turned around and rushed towards the scattered soldiers chasing behind him.

Seeing more than a dozen white-armored soldiers rushing over, each of the scattered soldiers fired a gun and drove the two white-armored soldiers rushing in front into hornet's nests. Then they turned around and ran away. The scattered soldiers' rifled guns were extremely slow to reload, and they could not load them on the bumpy horse's back. After firing the bullets, they ran away, and the Qing army could not catch up with them.

There were fewer and fewer white-armored soldiers guarding Duoduo. When he escaped, he was protected by more than a hundred white-armored soldiers, but now there are only six left.

But the Ming army bit Duoduo tightly. In order to capture Duoduo, Ye Bushang also stared at him. Others such as Boluo and Kong Youde, who could catch up, and if they couldn't catch up, they would not care about them for the time being, but they just focused their efforts to chase Duoduo.

More and more Ye Bushu and scattered soldiers rushed over after seeing the fireworks signal, just like a group of sharks smelling blood.

"It's broken, a big river in front is blocking the way!" Duoduo led six white-armored soldiers to panic, but found that they broke into a dead end.

"Master, go quickly, the servants have cut off the back!" shouted six white-armored soldiers.

Duoduo nodded with tears in his eyes: "You are all warriors of my Qing Dynasty. After I go back, I will definitely bring troops to avenge you!"

Six white-armored soldiers stayed and rushed towards the Ming army, Ye Busuosu and the scattered soldiers who were chasing each other.

"Let me!" shouted a long man from Ye Bushe.

More than a hundred scattered soldiers did not dismount. They picked up the rifled rifle on the horse's back and pointed the white-armored soldiers rushing towards them and pulled the trigger. With a roaring sound of guns, the five white-armored soldiers who rushed over were sieved a hundred steps away. Only one white-armored soldiers survived by chance with their unique skills hiding in the stirrups.

The undead white-armored soldier drove the war horses and continued to rush towards the Ming army. With a few more guns, the war horse was shot and made a sad neighing sound. Just as the fallen war horse lifted the white-armored soldier off the horse's back, the white-armored soldier turned over in the air, landed steadily, and continued to rush forward with a bow and arrow.

The scattered soldiers had no time to load up. When they saw the white-armored soldiers rushing up with their bows and arrows, the scattered soldiers turned their horses and turned around and ran away, handing the white-armored soldiers to Ye Bushang.

More than a dozen elite soldiers surrounded the white-armored soldier. After paying the price of sacrificing the two, they finally killed the white-armored soldier.
