Zhao Hu was helpless and sighed slightly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Can we catch all the defeated soldiers? Even if they can intercept them all, will the main team of the Banner Shepherd, who has not received the information the next day, send troops to inspect here? It's better for us to evacuate as soon as possible. ”

The squad leader then remembered that there were still millions of iron horsemen, and he could solve his own people by sending a few odds, so he was so frightened that he immediately nodded and led people to carry out the order.

The logistics soldiers who did not go to the front line to fight much had already started their busy work as doctors, and Zhao Hu cherished these twenty-five logistics soldiers very much, even at the moment of crisis just now, when Zhao Hu arranged his troops, he only let them follow behind the cavalry.

It's no wonder that Zhao Hu protects them so much, you must know that they are the essence of the brigade, and the work of doctors, repairmen, cooks, and baggage is all undertaken by them, without them, the entire brigade will soon collapse.

At the end of the battle, Zhou Wen and other five guards ran to Zhao Hu as soon as possible.

"Sir, you're not hurt, are you?"

Of these five people, only Locke and Luo Fei were injured, and the other three were scratched at most.

Zhao Hu smiled, did not answer, and gave a series of orders.

"Sir, after interrogation, the enemy army attacked this time is 2,000 cavalry, which belongs to the Muzi Muqi of the Feimu Banner ally, and the leader of the team is Mu Ertie, the eldest son of the owner of the Muzi Banner, and two thousand commanders.

"In the battle, Mu Ertie was beheaded by Luo Fei, and the two commanders were killed by Chief Zhao Hu with your own hands, congratulations to the chief, you have made a great contribution."

Dior, who ran back after quickly getting the main information, said happily.

According to military law, the credit of the guards is counted on the officers, and the rewards are determined by the officers, especially those like Dio, who are born as criminal slaves, and the credit is almost all the master's.

And this merit of killing the head of a thousand people and the major master of the enemy force is enough for Zhao Hu to become a major directly.

Zhao Hu, who knew about the pro-guard system, didn't shirk it, anyway, he deliberately applied for them upward, and people thought he was an idiot. He also motioned for Dio to continue reporting.

"Sir, because of the rush of time, I didn't have time to count the other booty, but just counted the corpses and prisoners of the enemy.

"The enemy left behind five hundred and fifty-six corpses, of which all officers of the rank of ten commanders and above were killed in battle, and nine hundred and five enemy soldiers were captured, of whom one hundred and twenty-four were wounded. These captives don't know what to do with them? ”

Dio's question was a bit evasive, because according to custom, prisoners were also trophies and could be disposed of at the discretion of the victors, while wounded soldiers who were inactive were generally killed directly, and no one would rescue them.

Zhao Hu thought for a moment and sighed.

"Let them fend for themselves."

He couldn't bear to kill them all, he didn't want to take them away and slow him down, and of course he couldn't come up with precious medicine to help those wounded prisoners. I had to say so.

It's not that Zhao Hu is cold-blooded and doesn't help the wounded soldiers, in this era, doing so is no different from cutting his own flesh to feed the tiger, and he will definitely be spit on by his subordinates.

"Sir, my subordinates think that those wounded prisoners will leave them alone, but those prisoners who are in good health should turn them into servant soldiers, right?"

The squad leader said that this squad leader Zhao Hu knew that he was Sergeant Geralt of the cavalry squadron.

Servant soldiers are slave soldiers, Zhao Hu knows, but isn't this Geralt afraid of these captives rebelling?

There are more of them than my own brigade.

Zhao Hu motioned to Geralt to explain, and Geralt hurriedly replied.

"Sir, my subordinates will first talk about the situation of the Feimu Banner Alliance, the Feimu Banner Alliance is not so much a country as an alliance of many independent forces.

"There is no unified government, no currency, no taxes, no officials, and no unified army, and foreign warfare is generally led by a few of the most powerful flag herders, with the banners that depend on them.

"In peacetime, government affairs and military affairs are handled by each herdsman. In other words, a pastoral flag can be seen as an independent country.

"All the banners of the Feimu Banner Alliance are implemented in the slave-like banner owner system, the banner owner is the owner of a herding flag, and everything above and below the flag, including all the banner people, is his private property and can be disposed of at will.

"To put it bluntly, except for the banner owner and the relatives of the flag owner, the other flag people are slaves.

"These bannermen do not have any personal freedom, and when two banners are fighting, the victor can swallow up, sell, or kill all of the bannermen of the loser, while the bannermen of the loser cannot and will not resist at all."

When Geralt said this, his eyes glanced at Zhao Hu a little strangely.

Zhao Hu couldn't believe it.

"You mean, these bannermen have no intention of swearing allegiance to the banner master?"

"Absolutely not!"

Geralt nodded affirmatively.

"Because they are the property of the banner owner, and have no consciousness of their own. Unless the banner man has received the great favor of the banner master, or has been promoted to the rank of ten commanders or above, he will swear allegiance to the banner master. ”

Zhao Hu nodded suddenly in realization.

"No wonder when they heard that their young master was dead, they immediately lost their fighting spirit."

Hearing this, Dio immediately clapped his hands, a little annoyed.

"If I had known this, the cavalry squadron should have intercepted them in the rear, so that I am afraid that they could all be captured, right?"

The other team leaders also looked annoyed.

If you know that the flag soldiers are so unbearable, then you should catch a few more, and then the merits will be evenly distributed, but it will be a great credit.

Seeing that the team leaders began to accuse Geralt of why he didn't remind him earlier, Zhao Hu smiled.

"Well, don't worry about it, who would have thought that we would win when we heard the news of the Million Iron Riders? Besides, only two or three hundred people escaped.

"Dio, take a few people to deal with the prisoners, see if they are willing to be our servants, if you do, take them to the logistics soldiers to help, and speed up our evacuation.

"Also, those flag soldiers whose hands and feet are intact and can still be saved, just help them, and forget about the seriously injured."

After everyone knew the character of the banner soldier, they didn't resist Zhao Hu's order much, one more servant soldier, one more manpower.

Dio took the order and left with Sun Jie.

Geralt saw Dio leave with a look of anxiety in his eyes, but Zhao Hu asked the team leaders to report the loss, and he had to sigh.

"Sir, 1st Cavalry Squadron, three killed, twenty-five wounded, no disabled."

Speaking of this, Gerat, the cavalry squad leader, turned a little red.

Although his squadron suffered the fewest casualties, it also had the fewest results.

I rushed in when the battle was almost over. Although it was impossible to calculate the results of killing the enemy in the middle of the night, I also knew that only a few dozen people in the entire cavalry squadron had drawn their swords and cut people, and this night was only a dozen or so battle exploits.

"Sir, 2nd Infantry Squadron, thirty-four killed, ninety-one wounded, seven disabled. Five of them were killed in battle. ”

"Sir, the 3rd Infantry Squadron, forty-five killed, eighty wounded, and thirteen disabled. Among them, the second squad leader was killed in battle, and six captains were killed in battle. ”

The two infantry squad leaders reported with pained expressions.

The two squadrons rushed to the front line, almost all of them were wounded, the two squadrons together lost the combat effectiveness of four squadrons, and one squad leader was killed in battle, and the losses were huge.

"Sir, the 4th Bow Squadron has forty-three killed, fifty-two wounded, and fifteen wounded. Captain Wu killed four in the battle. ”

This squad leader has a sad face, and he alone has lost two captains.

"Sir, the 5th Bow and Arrow Squadron, thirty-two people killed, forty-three wounded, twelve disabled, and three Commander Wu were killed in battle."

The squad leader's face tensed.

Although it was the least of the four front-line combat squadrons, two squads were also finished in combat effectiveness.

Most of the casualties of the two bow squadrons were caused by the commander's order to throw torches, otherwise it would be dark and his people would be standing on a high place, how could there be such a huge loss?

Hearing these numbers, Geralt blushed even more.

Comparing the losses of his squadron, he was embarrassed to look at these four colleagues.

Zhao Hu sighed.

"One hundred and fifty-seven people were killed, two hundred and ninety-one were wounded, and forty-seven were disabled, and our Fifth Brigade lost two-thirds of its combat effectiveness."

All the squad leaders bowed their heads sadly.

"Inform the logistics corps that the carriage must be vacated to carry the disabled brothers, the remains of the dead brothers will be cremated on the spot, and we will bring their ashes back to their families."

Zhao Hu hesitated when he said this.

"Take off the heads of the enemy soldiers who have died in battle, and marinate them in lime."

The squad leader, who originally wanted to remind him, immediately cheered and obeyed.

Although it seems a bit cruel to take away the heads of enemy soldiers, there is nothing you can do.

This is the case with the confirmation of military merits, and without evidence, it will not be recognized by the empire.

These skulls are evidence to prove your merits and ensure that you can be promoted!

You can throw anything, but you can't lose this!

After this battle, the squad leaders really admired Zhao Hu, a second lieutenant officer who managed logistics.

Zhao Hu personally killed the enemy and killed the two commanders with his own hands!

The commanders of the Muqi Alliance are not like the commanders who climb up by blood, they are all warriors with extraordinary martial arts, and this logistics ensign can kill them, which is really powerful enough.

When the team leaders finished reporting, Dio, who was ordered to deal with the captives, took Sun Jie and a few logistics soldiers to the hundreds of captives.

Looking at these strong men who were as well-behaved as sheep under the guard of the cavalry squadron, Dio felt a pang of contempt in his heart.

Is it no wonder that those banner owners treat them as private property, look at them as slaves, and oppress them without oppressing them?

But that's fine, at least there are more people who can use it.
