At three poles in the morning, in the original Jin Bing camp in Linhao Town, at this moment, the smoke was curling, and the men of the Song army were preparing meals.

After a night of fierce fighting, the army was already hungry. The dead and wounded horses were cut into horse meat for the soldiers to eat.

The camp had been cleaned and all the corpses had been transported, but the brutality of the battle yesterday night could still be seen from the large amount of blood and the flesh of men and horses.

In the camp, Xu Qing and Chen Guang were listening to the soldiers' reports on casualties and seizures.

"The Tabai Army lost 523 people, 276 were seriously wounded, and countless minor injuries were inflicted; The former army suffered 273 casualties, 246 seriously wounded, and countless minor wounds. A total of 800 men were killed and 522 seriously wounded. In terms of Jin soldiers, they roughly counted 1,862 Fanzi, 1,735 Han'er, 235 captured Han'er, and 423 Han'er who surrendered. A total of 3,597 Jin soldiers were killed, 658 were captured, and about seven or eight hundred escaped. ”

Chen Guang and Xu Qing's master and apprentice glanced at each other, and there was a hint of joy in their eyes.

The root of this battle is to defeat the Jurchen cavalry first, and the grenadiers can be said to be the most meritorious. Once it was hand-to-hand combat with infantry, the Jin people were obviously not opponents.

Although 800 people were killed, and about two or three hundred seriously wounded soldiers may have died, such a big result was not expected.

Moreover, there is also the head of the Golden Lord's General and the King of the True Pearl.

Compared to these, the seizure is insignificant.

"Finally, I can make an appointment to Yue Dutong."

Xu Qingchang let out a long sigh. Annihilating the enemy as promised, you can finally raise your eyebrows.

However, after these two major battles, his front army has already lost more than half of it and needs to be replenished urgently.

"What about the seizure?"

Xu Qing couldn't wait to ask. He had many horsemen in his ranks, but no horses.

"General, captured 2,312 Jurchen war horses, more than 1,200 hard bows, more than 1,300 sub-hard bows, and more than 100,000 arrows. In addition, there are more than 2,000 pieces of iron armor, more than 2,000 pieces of leather armor, and countless swords, guns, swords, and halberds. There is not a lot of grain and grass, about 3 days of the army. ”

"I didn't expect Wang Gui to help a lot last night, otherwise I would have run away after Yan She, and the fifth brother wouldn't have spared me."

Thinking of last night's battle, Xu Qing intuitively felt a little lucky.

"It seems that Pengju has already arranged the big net, and he is waiting for Yan to set up and drill into it. I didn't expect this guy to flee south, but fortunately he didn't escape. ”

Chen Guang shook his head. The situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and no one can grasp the changes.

"Master Chen, write the paperwork immediately, so that the fifth brother can be happy!"

Xu Qing urged on the side, already a little impatient.

Chen Guang nodded, and said to Xu Qing in a deep voice: "Xu Qing, you are now the commander of the former army, and Pengju is the commander of the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army.

Xu Qing said solemnly: "Thank you for the control of Chen."

Chen Guang nodded, and said softly: "Write the documents immediately, and at the same time tell the whole army that this battle is the commander of Yuedu, and the soldiers will bravely kill the enemy, and the court and Zhang Xianggong will then reward the soldiers and reward them for their meritorious deeds."

Xu Qing knew this, hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, the commander will do it immediately."

In a corner of the camp, hundreds of ragged Song women gathered together, and it was not until the Song soldiers offered food and drink that the women let go of their hands and feet and forgot to eat and drink.

The men couldn't help but shake their heads as they watched the women gobble up. These Song women were arrested and put into the barracks, and the ravages they suffered can be imagined.

When the battle was over, and the soldiers cleared the camp, there were already many women who had been ravaged or starved and were dying, and they were treated like animals.

"Don't be in a hurry, eat slowly, and send you home when you're done."

The husband Li Sanwa gently persuaded on the side.

Hearing Li Sanwa's words, many women stopped eating and drinking, and many began to cry loudly.

"Everyone should be happy that they are saved and can go home. Don't think about those sad things!"

Xu Qing came over and said loudly.

The women knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing and crying: "Master Jun, my home has been ruined by Fanzi, where is there still a home!"

"The whole family has been killed by Fanzi, what's the use of me living?"

Compared with those women who wept loudly and grabbed the ground with their heads, more women wept silently, obviously suffering enough to suffer.

Everywhere the Jin soldiers went, they were all broken, and they often slaughtered the Song people, and rarely left them alive. These women, not to mention ruining their innocence, have become homeless people nine times out of ten, although the world is big, where can they go as weak women.

"They're all poor people!"

Xu Qing shook his head and sighed deeply. After years of war in Hebei, there is not one out of ten people. It is better to be a peaceful dog, not to be an outcast, and the people are miserable.

He couldn't help but be angry, and said fiercely: "One day, my loyal and righteous army will definitely smash the Yellow Dragon and destroy the lair of this Jin country!"

"It's light, it's easier said than done, take care of yourself first."

Chen Guang shook his head and said: "Fanzi is not a paper paste, today is just a sneak attack, and so many brothers have died." If it is a head-on confrontation, especially the Fanzi cavalry, I don't know how many more casualties will be killed or wounded by the loyal army?"

Veterans are also excluded in his army, but fortunately, this battle was a sneak attack on the Jin soldiers by the Loyal Army, not a sneak attack by the Jin soldiers. One is active, the other is passive, and the judgment is made.

Chen Guang looked at a large number of captives and Toucheng Jin soldiers not far away, frowned and said, "Xu Qing, what should be done with these people, have you thought about it?"

Xu Qing nodded and said: "I heard that Wang Song has always been screened and dealt with, picking out the most heinous and evil people, and acting as tigers, other strong people are incorporated into the army, and the weak ones are dismissed." Let's do the same. ”

"Wang Song is just buying people's hearts, but his approach is old-fashioned."

Chen Guang looked around and said in a low voice: "Zhang Xianggong is here, to do this well, Zhang Xianggong hates people the most, you know how to do it."

Xu Qing pointed to the women in the camp and whispered: "These women in the camp, let them come forward to screen and promise a lot of money, it is naturally very simple."

Chen Guang nodded and replied in a low voice: "It's useless to take prisoners, and if you have more heads, you can also report your war merits." All these heads are yours. ”

Xu Qing's heart was hot, and he hurriedly said, "Thank you, master."

Zhao Yuanlong walked into the camp in confusion, not knowing what Chen Guang was looking for him.

Seeing Zhao Yuanlong come in, Chen Guang nodded, and said softly: "Zhao Yuanlong, last night our army attacked the Jin Camp, you and your subordinate brothers performed well, I will ask for credit for you in front of Yue Dutong, and promote you as the commander of the A battalion, and your younger brother Zhao Yuanhu will take over your position as the head of the capital, are you satisfied?"

Zhao Yuanlong's face was overjoyed, and he hugged his fists and said: "Villain, thank you for the cultivation of my brother by Commander Chen!"

Chen Guang said softly: "Our army is at the forefront of the battle between the two armies, you and your brothers should be careful to spy and find out the details of the Jin soldiers, do you know?"

Zhao Yunlong hugged his fists and said: "The villain must do his best to live up to Chen Gong."

Zhao Yuanlong left, Zhang Jun and Xu Qing came out from behind the tent, Chen Guang quickly stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Xianggong, among the five battalions, four battalions are all newcomers. ”

Zhang Jun nodded slightly, and said softly: "Chen Tong, do a good job." Xu Qing, you don't have to worry, this official guarantees that you don't have to worry about your official position. ”

Xu Qing put down his heart and hurriedly thanked him.

Zhang Jun was about to leave, but suddenly turned his head and said softly: "I heard that the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army has strict military discipline, and I don't care about it. In the future, we still have to do things according to orders, no worse than the Hedong Loyal Army. ”

Xu Qing and Chen Guang were both sweating like rain, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug their fists and said, "Thank you for your teachings!" ”

Zhao Yunlong walked out of the camp, thoughtfully, Zhao Yunhu, Zhao Da and others outside hurriedly greeted him.

"Big brother, what is Commander Chen looking for from you, have you been promoted?"

Zhao Yuanhu hurriedly asked on the side. His brothers have made outstanding achievements this time, and I am afraid that promotion will not be a problem.

Zhao Yuanlong nodded, and said as he walked: "Chen Gong said that he wanted to mention me as the commander of the first battalion, and the second brother took over my original position, and the other brothers had their own rewards."

"Big brother, congratulations!"

Zhao Yuanhu said excitedly. Both of his brothers are from the green forest, and now that they have been promoted, it seems that the future will be much better.

Zhao Yuanlong looked around, shook his head and said in a low voice: "This promotion, for you and my brother, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse?"

Everyone was stunned, and Zhao Yuanhu was also puzzled, and asked: "Big brother, this promotion is a good thing, how is it a scourge, you can talk about it."

Zhao Yunlong smiled bitterly, and when he saw that there was no one around, he continued to whisper.

"Fang Dahong, the commander of the A battalion, is an old man of the loyal and righteous army, who has repeatedly made military exploits and followed Wang Xianggong into the city of Tokyo. Now that I am the commander of Battalion A, where is the commander of Fang going? ”

Everyone was silent, and they couldn't imagine that a small improvement would also involve intrigue in the army.

"Big brother, what should I do?"

Zhao Yuanhu shook his head and said: "The loyal and righteous army was created by Wang Xianggong, and the commander of Fang is not only short-tempered, but brave in battle, and generous and benevolent. Could it be that Chen Tongzhi has another trouble in doing this?"

Zhao Yuanlong smiled bitterly: "I can't see through these open and secret battles, intrigues, and intrigues." Brothers, don't think too much, just remember to be impartial and don't offend people. ”

Zhao Da said in a low voice: "Big brother is right! It doesn't matter who he is, our brothers just need to kill the thief! ”

Zhao Yuanlong secretly wondered how things could be so simple. Wang Song is famous in the loyal and righteous army, in the hearts of the entire Song people. As long as Wang Song does not fall, no one can control the loyal and righteous army, and these small actions of Chen Guang and others are redundant.

Everyone shook their heads and sighed, hugging Zhao Yunlong and moving forward.

"What's that doing? How can there be so many captives and women?"

Zhao Yuanlong suddenly stopped, pointed to the open space in the distance and said.

Everyone looked up and found that in the corner of the camp, at least hundreds of Jin soldiers were kneeling on the ground, everyone was tightly bound, and there was a Song soldier with a long knife behind him.

In front of the captives, a majestic Song soldier officer was saying something loudly, and the ragged Song women next to the officer looked sad and wept.

Zhao Yuanhu explained: "Big brother doesn't know, these golden soldiers are all black sheep who have been screened. These people killed a lot of Song people, and also ruined a lot of Song women, so Xu Tongzhi wanted to cut them and give an explanation to these women and the dead people. ”

Zhao Da said hatefully on the side: "These people, following behind the Jurchen Tartars, have done a lot of bad things. Today is really evil and evil, and people are very happy!"

Zhao Yuanlong was dumbfounded: "I'm afraid this captive has been killed!" Remember, there is no one to say about the army. It's hard to disobey the military order, do you hear it clearly?"

"Big brother, it's clear. Killing these beasts is to eliminate harm for the people, otherwise I will be in the army with them in the future, and my heart will be blocked. ”

Zhao Da immediately changed his words, spat fiercely at the "beasts" in the distance, and followed Zhao Yuanlong, Zhao Yuanhu and the others away.

"As a Han Chinese, you recognize thieves as your father, forget your ancestors, burn, kill and loot, and do all kinds of evil. Today, the official sent you on the road, remember, don't be a beast in the next life, remember to be a man!"

After the officer's righteous and generous speech, he shouted: "Do it!"

"Spare your life, we killed Fanzi and surrendered!"

"Song Gou, you unload the mill and kill the donkey, the six relatives don't recognize it, we haven't done anything bad!"

"We're Han! We didn't do anything! ”

"You Song dogs, just wait to be slaughtered by the Jurchens! You Song ......"

The sounds of pleading, scolding, justification, crying, and all kinds of voices were instantly silent with the sound of knives and guns entering the body.

On the ground, the hideous-looking corpses were blurred with flesh and blood, and scarlet blood flowed down the human body, seeping into the withered yellow weeds on the ground......
