    "Casualty statistics are out." Wang Yaochen handed over a report.

    Wang Tingchen took a look, and suddenly became silent.

    Counting from the day when the cannon fodder attacked the city until it completely occupied the city, the casualties of the Datong Army were as follows:

    ? 1,552 people were killed, 743 were seriously injured, 3,639 were slightly injured, and the casualty rate reached 43.9.

    Wang Tingchen is a Ming side general who served here, and the Ming army lost tens of thousands at every turn, and there are no casualties in front of him to make him feel sad.

    These are all cavalrymen who have been trained for several years, and they are extremely precious.  Many people were killed when they climbed the city, they were hit by rolling logs, shot by bows and arrows, or they were surrounded and killed after climbing first.

    Even if they were killed in battle, they deserved to die on the battlefield while riding horses. It is not worth dying in the siege!

    Wang Yaochen comforted and said: "The Tartars guarding the city are all elites of the Puppet Qing Dynasty, and they are all fighting desperately. If the southern city wall hadn't killed the enemy generals and flanked the western city to open the city gate, the Tartar soldiers would have continued desperately. We  So many people were killed and injured, it is actuallynot wronged."

    "I understand," Wang Tingchen sighed, "but these are the soldiers we have trained with our own hands. Since the formation of the cavalry division, I did not expect to lose the most during the siege."

    Wang Yaochen said: "There is also good news. The city is full of wheat and livestock. Most of the wheat has just been harvested this year. The Tartars collected it and prepared it as military rations to send troops to support Sarhu. Livestock were also collected to transport military rations.  , and now we have seized them all."

    Wang Tingchen said: "If we arrived a few days earlier, the Tartars would definitely not have time to gather their troops, and they could easily capture the city. In the final analysis, the attack speed is too slow, so we shouldn't waste so much time in the north."

    "Who knew that the Tartars were just drawing troops?" Wang Yaochen said.

    The cavalry division swept across the villages in the north, just to quickly cut off the vital forces of the Tartars.  As a result, after the raids, they realized that the situation was wrong. The number of Tartars in the countryside was too small, and many young and strong were taken away to fight.

    Wang Tingchen calmed down and said: "Order the whole army to rest for two days. The seriously wounded and military doctors will stay, and the rest of the troops will continue to attack!"

    Here you can go straight to the main battlefield, march along the Huifa River, Baiyun River, and Hun River, and only need to climb a few low mountains on the way.

    But the distance is quite long, a full 300 miles, and the march in the valleys and mountains is not fast enough.

    A few days later, the cavalry division passed a place called Siping, which already belonged to Qingyuan County in later generations.

    "Destroy the weapon workshop!"

    "If there is any resistance, shoot and kill, and all craftsmen will be arrested!"

    Hundreds of years later, there are many "Siping" in the Northeast, such as Da Siping Town, Bei Siping Township, and Xiao Siping Village.  Without exception, it must be the production base of bows and arrows in the Qing Dynasty. The original meaning of "Siping" in Manchu language is "making arrow shafts".

    At this very moment, on the southern battlefield, Yang Zhenqing's independent regiment is also attacking Siping¡ªXiao Siping Village, Da Siping Town hundreds of years later.

    Yang Zhenqing set off from Yahuguan Pass (in the territory of Weiziyu Town), crossed the Great Wall of Liao Dynasty, and went straight to Dasiping Town.

    Many of the land outside Yajuan Pass belonged to the Ming Dynasty. Li Chengliang gave up six castles without authorization and gave them to Nurhachi on the grounds that "the land is lonely and hard to defend".

    As for the Kuandian area further south, I am too lazy to attack.  Daming built many forts in Kuandian, including Kuandian Fort, Xindian Fort, Yongdian Fort, Dadian Fort, and Changdian Fort.  After the Manchu Qing occupation, the local people were forcibly removed, and it has been deserted for 20 to 30 years.

    It was not until Dayuer moved the capital to Hetuala that Kuandian was reclaimed.

    However, the population is still sparsely populated. There are only 20 or 30 households in a village, and there are even only a few households in many places.

    It is a waste of food and grass for those who are in the mountains to conquer sporadic Tartars.

    It is much more comfortable to go east from Yaful Pass, as long as you lay down a few castles along the way, twenty miles to the east is the gold mine of the Tartars, and thirty miles to the southeast is the production base of the Tartars' bows and arrows.

    Former Fort.

    There are mountains on all sides, mountains on the south, and a narrow river valley between the two mountains.

    The independent group traveled day and night, took a small boat unexpectedly, and chose to go ashore after passing the castle.

    The guard of this castle is called Dai Qing, a name that has been flooded.  There are not too many Mongols and Jurchens called Dai Qing, Dai Qin, and Dai Qing, which means "brave".

    Even Dorgon's title before becoming king was "Mergen Daiqing", that is, "wise warrior".

    The Dai Qing in front of me is probably not very brave.  When he woke up, he found thousands of enemies behind the castle, and his face turned pale with fright.

    The function of the front fort is to stop the army. A few thousand people can easily row past without luggage.

    &nbsalso be questioned.

    What's more, they just drew lots and escaped from the gate of hell.  If he surrendered and rebelled, wouldn't the life and death lottery drawn just now be for nothing?

    Furthermore, many of their family members are in the hands of the Datong Army!

    Killing people by lottery is not just about venting anger.

    It is not only to establish prestige, but also to manipulate the thoughts and emotions of the captives.

    Dai Qing's two elder brothers both died at the hands of the Datong army, and he himself was almost killed just now.  But this guy is actually still lecturing the soldiers: "Listen well, kill two tartars, and you can clear your sins. For your family, for yourself, kill them all! Kill the tartars, kill the tartars!  !"

    "Kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars!"

    A group of Tartar soldiers who had no fighting spirit, just surrendered, actually shouted to kill the Tartars, and seemed to have the will to fight.

    Following the Taizi River and continuing east for more than ten miles, you will come to the second castle.

    Yang Zhenqing said to Dai Qing: "Go and persuade the general to surrender, if you can persuade the guards to surrender, you don't need to kill two Tartars to get away with it!

    Dai Qing was overjoyed, knelt down to kowtow to Yang Zhenqing, and then rushed to the castle: "Anba, I am Dai Qing, and I have surrendered the heavenly soldiers of Datong. You also surrender quickly, and I will give you a chance to survive. Sal  Over there, half a million Datong Heavenly Soldiers have surrounded Saarhu City. Do you still want to be buried with the little emperor?"
