Chapter 006: Zhao'an
Wang Song looked down, and saw that the battle had become sparse and the overall situation had been decided, so he said to Zhang Xian next to him: "Brother Zhang Xian, in this battle of Luoyang, you have made great contributions, not only beheading the generals and women, but also plotting to let these arrogant and brutal fans automatically fall into our trap." This official replaces me as the people of the Great Song Dynasty, thank you very much!"
"Thank you for your compliments, this is all within the scope of your subordinates! "
"The key is that we still have to rescue Tokyo City, there is no effort to toss here!"
Wang Song patted Zhang Xian's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Experience is accumulated. The purpose of our battle has been achieved, the brothers have morale, the army has replenished the baggage grain and grass, and the rebels everywhere have been greatly encouraged, and it has been a great achievement in the world. ”
Zhang Xian nodded and stepped aside. Yelu Yan stepped forward and said: "General, there are still a lot of Khitan people in this city, and the villain wants to run for the big officials and recruit these people to the big officials, I don't know what the big officials think?"
"Brother Jerry, this is very good!"
Wang Song nodded and said, "Then let Brother Zhang Xian accompany you on a trip, and take a look at the other captives by the way." Brother Yelu, when you arrive in Tokyo City, the little lady and I will speak well for you in front of the Holy One. Don't worry, this official will never be able to treat you and your people badly!"
Zhang Heng and Dong Ping stepped forward, the two of them hugged their fists together, Zhang Heng said solemnly: "Big official, there are still many remnants of enemies in the city, the villain is willing to go to chase and kill with Dong Ping's brothers, please give an order!" ”
Wang Song nodded and said, "If you hunt down the remnants of the enemy, you also have to protect yourself." You go with Li Yanxian, take care of the granary, and the army will have supplies. ”
Seeing Zhang Xian, Zhang Heng and the others leaving, Wang Songxi smiled, and Zhi Yuexiu couldn't help but smile a little, and said softly: "General Wang, after you kill Yan Lou's son, aren't you afraid that he will retaliate against you?" Aren't you afraid that the royal family of the Jin Dynasty won't be able to let you go? ”
Wang Song saw her smile, her face was beautiful, bright and beautiful, and her heart fluttered.
"Fold the little lady, you look so much better when you smile, it reminds me of the day I lost my soul!"
Wang Song looked around and said in a low voice: "But Wanyan Huonu is only the first target to be killed, and the next one is not Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, and finally Wanyan Sheng, the old thief." The heinous crimes committed by these thieves will be paid for by them one by one!"
"You're talking crazy again!"
Zheyuexiu's face turned red, and she quickly turned her head.
Wang Song's previous sentence was oily and slippery, but the latter sentence was righteous and awe-inspiring. Zhi Yuexiu was originally embarrassed in her heart, but the words behind her made her excited.
She is conceited and smart, but in front of Wang Song, she is helpless and can't be ruthless. Could it be that this Wang Song is really his destined nemesis?
The battle in front of the city gate finally came to an end, and this section of the fighting lasted only about an hour, and the whole battle lasted less than two hours.
Although it was only two hours, it was a layer of corpses, one by one with blurred flesh and blood; There was blood everywhere, deep enough to drown the ankles; Everywhere there were knives and broken guns, traces of smoke and fire were everywhere, and ownerless war horses were all over the streets.
"Clean up the battlefield, clean up the casualties!"
Zhang Heng came back, shook his head again and again, and said: "Great officials, the people in the city have almost been slaughtered, and there are not even a few children, and only some women are left. Fanzi is really a jackal's nature, a snake and scorpion's heart, how cruel! ”
Wang Song also shook his head helplessly, patted Zhang Heng's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Fanzi's nature is like this. You and my brother have a heavy responsibility on our shoulders, and we must work hard to move forward and punish the thieves together! ”
Li Yanxian and Dong Ping were covered in blood, and walked up to the city tower side by side, with irrepressible excitement in their expressions.
It seems that not only the results of the battle this time are gratifying, but after this life-and-death battle, the relationship between the two has also improved a lot.
Dong Ping hugged his fists and said: "The big officials, a total of 4,876 Fanzi cavalry were annihilated, in addition, nearly 3,000 war horses were captured, and countless armor, bows, arrows, knives and guns were captured. The most important thing is that thousands of stone of grain were also found in Hancang Jiacheng, which was enough for the brothers to eat for a month or two. ”
"Good thing during this time!"
Wang Song nodded and said, "Except for the grain that can be used as a group, the rest will be distributed to the surviving people in Luoyang City!"
Luoyang, as Xijing, has a lot of grain in storage. Now the Jurchen sergeant has just captured Luoyang, and his butt has not yet been hot, so he was picked up by himself.
Li Yanxian also hugged his fists and said: "Great official, our army annihilated a total of 2,192 Jurchen foot soldiers, lost 178 cavalry, 926 foot soldiers, 132 seriously wounded, and 234 lightly injured. A total of 1,436 people were lost. ”
Wang Song nodded, adding up the number of slightly injured people, the number of people lost this time was nearly 1,000 people, and his 7,000 soldiers lost 20% in the first battle.
"This is the strength, our army has firearms, and it was a sneak attack, and they all lost nearly a thousand brothers. If this is a field battle, I am afraid that there will be more casualties, or even the whole army will be wiped out! Therefore, everyone should be cautious in the future and must not be careless! ”
After Wang Song finished solemnly, he said to Dong Ping: "Remember the names of the brothers who died in battle, so that you can find their relatives in the future and send them a bereavement pension." The bodies of the brethren were cremated, and their ashes were buried somewhere in the North Mountain. In the future, if there is an opportunity, we will build a big martyr's shrine to worship these warriors who sacrificed for the country! ”
Everyone took the order to go, and the Han people paid attention to entering the soil for safety, and under the current situation, they had to be cremated.
The soldiers took local materials, boiled the horse meat cut into pieces in a large pot, sprinkled with spices, and the rich aroma of meat immediately filled the entire street.
Yelu Yan rushed over with a large number of surrendered troops, and the melancholy on his face was swept away.
"Daguanren, there are a total of 732 Khitan soldiers here, and I am willing to join the Daguanren army, and I also ask the Daguan to take them in!"
Wang Song nodded and said, "Yelu Gan, this official can take you in." But the army has military rules, and once you join the loyal army, you have to accept the military order. You get the idea!"
"Don't worry, big officials!"
Yelu Yan hurriedly agreed, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Of course, he understood Wang Song's concerns, if the Khitans defected on the battlefield, wouldn't the other party be defeated.
Zhang Xian stepped forward and said: "Senior officials, there are a group of Han soldiers who also want to join our army, please consider the senior officials."
Wang Song slowly walked down the city tower, in front of the city tower, the black pressure was overwhelming, and the man who knelt on the ground surrendered.
Looking at the faces of the Han people, Wang Song couldn't help but feel sad and regretted the brows floating on his face.
"Brothers, I want to know, as a dignified Chinese person, how can you follow behind Fanzi and slaughter your compatriots, do you still have a conscience?"
The soldiers were silent, and after a while, a big man stood up, walked to Wang Song and knelt down.
"General, there's really no way for me to wait! The people above said that there was food and drink with Fanzi, so what can I do about these rough people. After all, the big guy is just going to starve to death just for a bite to eat!"
Wang Song nodded and asked, "Although you are forced to do so, do you dare to say that you have not killed the Song people?" Haven't you ever done anything unreasonable?"
In the crowd, many people lowered their heads, but the big man just now continued: "General, I don't know about others, anyway, I have never killed a single Song people. Today, please give these brothers a chance, in the future, we will kill Fanzi, if you don't believe the general, we'll see!"
Seeing that Wang Song couldn't make up his mind, Zhang Xian stepped forward and said: "Big officials, in the eyes of villains, these people are still loyal, they did not take advantage of the chaos in the city to disperse on their own, which shows that they still have loyalty and some conscience. If you know that you can change your mistakes, you can do a great deal, so please ask the officials to give them a chance!"
Wang Song nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since General Zhang intercedes for you, this official will take you in." In the future, follow this official, kill more people, and serve the country loyally, have you heard?"
Guan Dashan was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down with all the surrendered troops and said, "Thank you, general, villain!"
The crowd was given three or four thousand pieces of iron armor and two or three thousand pieces of leather armor, which were worn by the righteous soldiers in winter, which not only increased the defensive function, but also kept them warm.
The Loyal and Righteous Army is now poor and white, and these iron armor and leather armor are a great supplement to the ranks of the Loyal and Righteous Army!
Killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses, this sentence is used on Fanzi, and it is no more appropriate.
The military doctors were busy sterilizing and disinfecting wounds. Due to the complete medical treatment for the wounded, the treatment of the wounded can be carried out smoothly.
"Don't move, it's right away!"
A volunteer soldier was stabbed in the shoulder, and the wound was quite deep. The soldier was in unbearable pain, and was about to shout, but found that the person in front of him was Wang Song.
Wang Song took matters into his own hands, washed the wounds of the wounded, sewed them up stitches and threads, tied them carefully with clean bandages, and comforted: "Bear with it, recuperate well, it won't be a month later, and he will be a good man again!"
"The villain, thank you to the big official!"
The soldier was flattered and replied with a red face.
After eating, Zhang Heng and Dong Ping commanded the men in the army and began to prepare dry food and cooked meat for easy carrying. Zhang Xian and Li Yanxian are reorganizing the team.
More than 700 Khitans and more than 1,000 Han surrendered troops, but the number of troops exceeded 8,000. Naturally, these men had to be broken up and joined the battalions so that they could be commanded later.
When night fell, the school field was densely packed with torches, illuminating as if it were day. The eight thousand new and old soldiers lined up neatly looked sad, and the corpses of thousands of soldiers were lined up on the wooden branches splashed with tung oil, and dozens of rows were lined up.
Wang Song led a group of officers to look at the remains of the warriors, and when they saw the young faces, many of them were saddened. The whole process lasted about half an hour, but no one complained.
After paying homage to the remains, Wang Song picked up a bowl of wine and shouted: "Brothers, rest in peace, drink this bowl of wine, let's kill the thief together!"
He slowly sprinkled the wine on the ground, and everyone behind him also spilled the wine on the ground.
Everyone lined up around the body, Wang Song, Zhang Xian, Dong Ping, Zhang Heng, and Li Yanxian lit the pyre with torches, and in an instant, a raging fire rose into the sky, illuminating the entire night sky.
The soldiers saluted the remains of the warriors, and shouted in unison with Wang Song: "Swear to kill the gold thief, swear to kill the gold thief, swear to kill the gold thief!"
The roar sounded and spread far away, and the paper ashes turned into butterflies, as if they were the undead of soldiers, flashing away.
