We didn't sit down, Jiang Song hugged his fists and said: "Our dereliction of duty has caused damage to the three armies and the military prestige is at a loss, please punish the general!" ”

Kang Yan shook his head and said: "It's not you who are at fault, it's me who underestimated the enemy and neglected to take precautions, which made the enemy have a chance to take advantage of it. You and others lead the troops to retreat from the enemy, and there is only merit to be blamed. ”

Jiang Song hurriedly said: "This matter must not be done, the three armies have just arrived, and the army's heart is undecided, if the general asks for guilt at this time, after all the generals and officers and soldiers know about it, their morale will definitely be greatly reduced, which will be extremely unfavorable to the future war." In addition, once the general pleads guilty, I am afraid that the political enemies of the general will definitely take the opportunity to attack the adults. ”

Zheng Haoliang also said: "What General Jiang said is very true, if the saint loses trust in the general, then in the future war, the general will definitely be restrained by the imperial court and lose a lot of autonomy, the capital is thousands of miles away from the front line, if it is commanded by the imperial court remotely, the three armies will be in danger." ”

Kang Yan said: "What you said is very reasonable, but as a human minister, how dare I expect to hide it from the saint!" ”

Jiang Song is much more refined than Zheng Haoliang, thought for a while, and said: "Or, we can postpone the report and report the good news together after winning the next battle." When the time comes, the merits and demerits will be offset, and others will not say much, and the saint should not blame him too much! ”

"It's okay!" Kang Yan is not a pedantic person, and nodded in agreement.

I couldn't help but say: "Maybe the general can report this matter to the military department first, and after Master Cheng gets the report, there should be a proper way to solve it." ”

Jiang Song nodded and said: "Yes, Lord Cheng has a very close personal relationship with the general, and the most important thing is that Lord Cheng was born in the army, and he is well aware of the impact of military morale on the war. ”

"Okay, just do it, report to the Ministry of War first!" Kang Yan said.

At this time, the commanders of the guards, the deputy commanders, and the thousands of households came to visit the chief general one by one.

The tent was soon crowded with people, and after everyone sat down, Kang Yan said: "What are the casualties and results of our army in this battle?" ”

A guard commander stood up and bowed down and said: "General Hui, according to calculations, our army has killed more than 6,800 soldiers and wounded more than 7,000 in this attack, including more than 900 seriously injured and disabled and unable to fight again, one thousand households and three hundred households were killed, more than 230 military tents were burned, and the loss of equipment, grain and grass is being liquidated, and there is no detailed number. The rebels were killed more than 3,000 people, captured 400 enemies, and wounded no enemy. ”

Kang Yan's brows furrowed again, and when everyone heard this number, their faces became a little ugly.

After being silent for a while, Kang Yan said: "Send military doctors to treat the wounded soldiers with all their might, and the soldiers who are seriously injured and cannot participate in the war again in the short term will immediately send troops to Nanning to settle down, and the families of the deceased soldiers will be generously compensated, and the bodies will be cremated in a selected place, and when the war is settled, they will be sent back to the hometowns of the lords immediately, and the thousands and hundreds of households killed in the battle will be left as deputies." The captured enemy was carefully interrogated, and then escorted to the capital to ask the Holy Judge to be judged. ”

"Yes!" All the generals responded in unison.

Kang Yan said again: "Everyone, in fact, the defeat of this battle is also beneficial to our army. Our army often boasts of being a pilgrim army and looks down on the Annan barbarians, but this defeat has sounded the alarm for us, the Annan people will not sit back and wait for the destruction, we must put away the world's first mentality, strengthen vigilance, and no longer give the Annan people a chance! ”

"Yes!" The generals said in unison again.

Next, let's talk about the battle in front of a huge map.

Not long after, the soldiers came to report, and Wu Ruilin, the commander of the Guangxi Metropolitan Command Department, asked to see him.

Kang Yan nodded and said, "Please ask Commander Wu to come in." ”

Wu Ruilin, whose clothes and armor were covered with blood, led his two guard commanders and envoys in.

It turned out that after Wu Ruilin learned that the camp was attacked, he immediately led the elite soldiers out of the south gate to find the road that the rebels in Annan must pass to retreat and set up an ambush.

Wu Ruilin was worried that the Annan people would have troops to respond, so he restrained the generals not to chase and kill, and ordered people to clean up the battlefield, while he brought two guard commanders to visit the commander and report the victory.

Kang Yan's face, which had been tense all night, finally melted, and everyone was thunderous when they got the news, and they all said that Wu Ruilin had made the first contribution.

After some tossing, Kang Yan ordered everyone to go back to their tents to rest.

After returning to the tent, Luo Rou did not rest, and sat on the edge of the bed quietly waiting for me. The armor on her body had been changed, she had just showered, and there was a faint fragrance on her body.

Seeing me enter, Luo Rou immediately got up and gently removed the thick armor for me: "There is hot water in the bucket, go wash it!" ”

The blood stain really made me uncomfortable, nodded, walked over and took off my clothes and slowly stepped into the bucket, the warm water immediately wrapped me, and I couldn't help but snort comfortably.

Luo Rou had already jumped on the bed, facing in, not daring to look at me.

After taking a shower and changing into civilian clothes, she squeezed into Luo Rou's side, and reached out to hug her into her arms, she trembled obviously.

Without the barrier of thick armor, the body temperature on each other's bodies warmed each other.

"Sleep! Tired all night! I said softly and kissed Luo Rou's forehead.

Luo Rou nodded, and soon fell asleep in my arms.

Looking at the person in my arms, I slowly became a little stupid (maybe I was tired), and I don't know when, I snored slightly with a smile.

After stealing the camp for the first time, the enemy also knew that we would be on guard, and there was little chance of success in another sneak attack, because the enemy did not send troops to sneak attack again.

For six days in a row, both sides were calm, not even skirmishes took place.

In six days, the 10,000 Ningyuan Iron Cavalry, the Yunnan Army and the 10,000 Shenji Battalion arrived in Chongzuo successively.

Kang Yan's soldiers and horses finally arrived, including 23 battalions from Guangxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan provinces, 10,000 Ningyuan iron cavalry, 10,000 Shenji battalions, 9,000 sailors, and 1,500 people brought by Kang Yan, with a total strength of 100,000, and 300,000 to the outside world. Of course, excluding the war damage of these days, he has less than 130,000 men left.

First of all, let's introduce the establishment of our army, the lowest level of our army is a small flag, each small flag has ten people, led by the captain; Five small flags are organized into a general flag, led by a flag commander; Every two general flags are made into a hundred households, which are led by a hundred households; Ten hundred households were organized into one thousand, led by a thousand; The 5,000 households were organized into Wei (battalions), which were commanded by the Wei Command Division. Of course, this is a normal establishment, and often due to the different conditions in their respective jurisdictions, the number of troops will increase or decrease.

There is also a level on the Wei command envoy, that is, the commander of the envoy, led by the commander of the capital, the commander of all the troops in the province under his jurisdiction, the commander of the envoy in the hands of the army of a province, and the power is very great, but these people are often the most worried about the people who do the dragon chair in the Forbidden City, if these people support the army and even rebel against the imperial court, then there will be a great threat to his country.

Of the 23 battalions transferred from Guangxi, Sichuan, and Yunnan, there are four firearms battalions, four cavalry battalions, and six archery battalions, and the remaining nine battalions are infantry. The firearms battalion is armed with a firearm or a bird's gun, and the power of firearms is self-evident, but it is easily affected by the weather and the loading speed is also slow; The cavalry battalion is the most important mobile combat force in the whole army, everyone is equipped with an iron bow, a long-handled eyebrow knife, shoot with a bow and arrow at a long distance, and chop with an eyebrow knife during hand-to-hand combat, cavalry can be regarded as a deterrent force, fast speed, great power, can win the battle, when the battle situation is unfavorable, the cavalry can also rely on speed to quickly leave the battlefield, choose the opportunity to fight again; The infantry battalions were equipped with swordsmen and shields, spearmen and halberds, which were the main force of the army, and they often rushed to the front line in wartime, so their casualties were often the highest after each battle.

The Ningyuan Iron Cavalry is an extremely powerful unit trained by the imperial court in the north, and they have fought against a small number of foreign races in the north all the year round, and they have extremely rich combat experience. The important thing is that after years of baptism of blood and fire, they have no fear of death.

The Shenji Battalion is a striking force in the Jingshi that is personally controlled by the emperor, and they are also equipped with firearms, but they are no longer the toys of children such as fire guns and bird guns. This paniston battalion was armed with a total of 2,000 crutches, which could be fired three times in a row after each load, during which there was no need to reload; Thunderbolt 2,000 rods, this kind of multi-barrel firearms used by individual soldiers, up to 18 barrels, the continuity of firepower is great, the deterrent power naturally increases suddenly, it can even be strictly controlled by cavalry, and it can be directly used as an infantry weapon for combat if it is not loaded after firing, and the crutch gun has a similar range to it, about 400 steps; Five thunder god machine 300, this is a heavy crossbow propelled by gunpowder, the arrow box can be loaded with 30 arrows at a time, the range is more than 500 steps, generally placed on the city wall to fight the invading enemy, can also be used with field battles and sieges; There are 300 guns of this kind of artillery, most of which are stone, iron, and lead as projectiles, and there are also iron pellets that are filled with gunpowder in the middle, and this kind of projectile will explode after hitting the ground, and the destructive power is very terrible, but this kind of projectile is not easy to make, and each cannon is only equipped with ten rounds. Most of the others still fire stone, iron, and lead bullets, this kind of heavy artillery has a range of two to three miles, whether it is used for field warfare, defense or siege, it is an indispensable super strike weapon, the only shortcoming is that it is too heavy, the whole cannon weighs nearly 3,000 catties, and it takes eight mules and horses to drag it when moving; Considering this, this Pantheon machine battalion is also specially equipped with 300 tiger squat cannons, although the power and range of this cannon are slightly less than that of General Zhizhankou, but it is light in weight, only two horses can be towed, and even in an emergency, the soldiers can carry it after dismantling, which is very suitable for fighting in the mountains. The two guns can be used in a configuration to complement each other's advantages. I have personally seen the Shenji Battalion practice shooting General Zhankou, it can be said that even if you are the first master in ancient times today, after a cannon, it is nothing, and the power is far beyond the ability of human power to resist, so that I have a trace of fear of the rumbling cannon sound later, after being bombarded by it, but even the corpse can not be found, and death is not terrible, but I am afraid that many people will not be able to accept the death without a complete corpse.

I haven't seen the sailors, but I heard Kang Yan say that there are more than 40 heavy guns on the large gunboats, and more than 50 guns on the treasure ships, and the cruisers and large battleships are equipped with a small number of guns and bed crossbows, which sounds very powerful.
