Chapter 21: Victory is not happy
In the early morning, the surroundings are still numb and bright, and the mountains and rivers are still hidden in the light fog, and there is no trace. The fresh field air of the past is gone, and the thick smell of blood and the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke permeates the air, making it difficult to breathe.
From yesterday to early this morning, the Loyal and Righteous Army alone has shot out more than 60,000 solid iron balls, nearly 4 million iron pills, and nearly 200,000 sky-shattering thunders.
In the wilderness, there are stacks of corpses, mutilated limbs, human organs, everywhere; Iron pills, iron balls, and earth-shattering thunder fragments scattered all over the ground; densely packed into the ground, like a forest of arrows from which reeds come; The scattered grain, gold and silver, and money are boundless......
All kinds of weapons, armor, rags, rags, and broken chariots......
Without exception, these things were mixed up in a pool of blood.
Where the blood is deep, you can drown your ankles, only shallow places, and it is wet and slippery when you step on it, and the whole sky is red.
Wang Song was in a heavy mood and walked with difficulty. On this wasteland, there are more than 100,000 Han corpses.
If you add the corpses of the Jin people, then there are at least more than 200,000!
I thought that Song Bing had so many firearms, and there were famous generals like Qu Duan and Wu Jie, and there were many people, so they could hold on for a few more days, but who expected that it was still the same as in history, and they only lasted two or three more days!
The loyal and righteous army came all the way to cover the battlefield, and only saved more than 10,000 Western soldiers on the battlefield. 50,000 or 60,000 Western Army infantry soldiers and more than 40,000 Western Army cavalry had already fled.
And the Jurchen knights, there are only 50,000!
Last night, the loyal army rescued Quduan's Jingyuan army. In the case of unclear battle conditions, Qu Duan quietly withdrew his troops, which was completely different from the feat of the Optimus Pillar in front of him and the army of the Jin people alone.
On the one hand, Qu Duan is arrogant and arrogant, and he can't bear the strength of the loyal army; On the other hand, it is naturally because of the identity of the Loyal and Righteous Army as a "local miscellaneous army" and the dominance of "disrespecting the Song family".
A plate of loose sand, intrigues, and twilight.
In just a few years, the withdrawal of the Western Army from the stage of history can be said to be self-inflicted. The Chinese people, as expected, are constantly fighting and scattered. Under natural and man-made disasters, it has come to an end.
In the field, there were weeping voices everywhere, and there were also people and soldiers. After this battle, in addition to the Western Army, there were also civilian people, including of course thousands of loyal and righteous soldiers.
Countless captives were under the command of the loyal soldiers, carrying the corpses like a hill on the battlefield. The bodies of the loyal soldiers were placed in a pile, neatly arranged, waiting to be cremated. Jin Bing's body was thrown directly onto the cart and pulled into a deep pit dug for burial.
The bodies of the fallen soldiers have been placed the size of three standard football fields in later generations, and the area is constantly expanding. Countless soldiers of the loyal and righteous army came to check and mourn, and many people cried.
Wang Song also shook his head. Those young lives are all for the future of the nation, and they died well, and they are the heroes of the nation.
The soldiers of the Loyal Army examined the prisoners one by one, and made up for those who groaned and squirmed until the other party could not move. Seeing that the situation was not good, some of the captives who had been deceived to death jumped up and fled, and were killed to the ground one by one by the soldiers of the Loyal Army, and let out terrible screams.
In the wilderness, the soldiers of the Western Army who were sleeping in the cold wind were everywhere. The officers and men of the Western Army may have been too tired, and yesterday's hard battle was in the middle of the night, so they lay on the ground.
"Go, get some quilts out of here! Don't let these good men shed blood and tears!"
Wang Song admonished the guards beside him.
On the battlefield, groups of loyal and righteous soldiers were patrolling with guns and knives. By the river, the men are busy cooking on the fire, the stove is blazing, steaming, and a lively scene.
Suddenly, the captive
There was a commotion in the crowd, and then one of the prisoners was pulled out by the soldiers. The captive's head was bleeding and he was knocked to the ground. The soldiers raised their spears and stabbed the captives, and the bodies of the captives were filled with blood, and then the bodies were thrown on the cart.
It turned out that the captive was a Jurchen, but he was discovered by the soldiers and immediately became a ghost under the gun.
"Xianggong, this is also a matter of no choice."
The officer laughed and said: "Our brothers of the loyal army, which one has not been harmed by Fanzi, everyone is separated from their wives and separated from their flesh and blood." Some families were killed by Fanzi. When the enemy meets, can this not hurt the killer!"
Wang Song is also gloomy. The Jurchens went south, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, ten rooms and nine emptiness, and the Song people suffered unprecedented suffering. The hatred of the country and the family add up, this is the hatred that cannot be dissolved, unforgettable!
Seeing the corpses with different postures, frightened faces, and cold and stiff, Wang Song sighed, shook his head and walked away.
"Ma Xuanzan, the bodies of the people were also cremated. Try to find a roster and give 10 dollars to each household. How should you spend this cold winter month?"
Ma Kuo nodded in agreement. Tens of thousands of people, ten yuan per person, this is hundreds of thousands of dollars in and out.
"The peaks and mountains are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the surface of Tongguan Road. Looking at the western capital, he hesitated, sad that the Qin and Han dynasties were in the office, and the palace was made of soil. Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer!"
Wang Song felt uncomfortable, this "hillside sheep" of Zhang Yanghao, the first Yuan Dynasty, was born in response to the situation and blurted out.
Who will be responsible for their lives in these troubled times? Who will be responsible for their wives and children?
It's better to be a peaceful dog, not to leave people in chaos! The Song army is incompetent, and everything that happens is borne by these chaotic people.
Friends come with good wine, jackals come with shotguns, of course!
A captive was tied up like a rice dumpling and pressed over. The captive faced Wang Song, his head held high, his expression was quite disdainful, and there was faint blood flowing out of his left eye that had been shot wounded.
"Xianggong, this thief's name is Han Chang, I heard that he is the general of the Jin people, and he is a sharpshooter. So the villain specially pressed over to show Xianggong!"
"Xu San, you did a good job!"
Wang Song nodded, looked back at the captive who was disdainful of him and looked arrogant, and pondered: "Han Chang, the archer, the general of the Jin people......"
This should be Han Chang, the fierce general in history who was recorded to shoot into iron and golden vultures.
Xu San was praised by Wang Song, and his expression was very excited. He continued: "Xianggong, I heard from the captives of the Jin people that this golden thief surnamed Han is particularly powerful in riding and shooting, and he can break through the armor and enter. This man treats the Han like dogs, and I heard that in his station, if the people dress like the Han people, they will be beheaded immediately!"
"Wang Song, if I hadn't brought a bow and arrow in Bianliang City last time, I would have shot you a dog thief a long time ago!"
Han Chang scolded, ignoring the pain that hurt his eyes.
Wang Song's face immediately changed. Treat people of different races like parents, treat people of the same race like pigs and dogs, such a traitor who has no father and no mother, and forgets his ancestors, and leaves him to do something in the world!
"Take it down and cut off the thief's head! In the future, if you encounter such a scum who harms the same clan, you will be directly punished for the crime of "traitor", and there will be no forgiveness for killing them!"
Wang Song's face was cold, and he swept it with his hand, knocking away the slug on Han Chang's head. He waved his right hand a few times, his expression full of disgust and hatred.
Xu San was shocked and quickly pressed Han Chang down.
"Whoever is surnamed Wang, you will not die well! There's always a ...... Hmm, hmm......"
Han Chang's hair was disheveled, his face was pale, and he was sealed by Xu San and the others before he finished his words. Immediately after that, the sound of knives and guns breaking and screaming came, and it was obvious that Han Chang had been disposed of.
"Ma Xuanzan, you said that the world is so big, it's no wonder
Yes, there are people like Han Chang!"
Wang Song shook his head and said in a deep voice: "My Chinese history is so broad and profound, with a long history, and the Chinese civilization is even more prosperous and spread overseas, how can such a "traitor" be created?"
He was indignant, and he was impassioned in the early morning field, attracting the attention of many soldiers.
"It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and it is human nature to see the wind and rudder, and it is understandable to seek refuge in a foreign race in order to survive under the overthrow of the country. But such as Shi Liai, Liu Yanzong, Han Fang, Guo Yaoshi, Geng Shouzhong and others, they are all Han people, not to mention willing to surrender to other races, but also follow the Jurchens to recognize thieves as fathers, act as tigers, and wantonly slaughter their own comrades! How can such a beast still have a face to live in the world! If the heavens do not remove it, I will remove it!"
The surrounding soldiers were dumbfounded, obviously not expecting the always kind and amiable commander to roar into the wilderness early in the morning, angry and angry.
Xu San hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee, and said: "Xianggong, it's all the villain's fault, please punish Xianggong!"
Wang Song shouted angrily: "Xu San, don't take it as an example!" When you encounter this kind of thing in the future, if you see such a "traitor" who has forgotten his ancestors and is incorruptible and shameful, he will deal with it directly!"
Xu San sweated profusely, Ma Kuo came up, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xianggong, you should be happy with today's big victory." After this battle, the vitality of the Jin people was greatly damaged, and our army and the Jin people formed a confrontation situation. As long as we recuperate and recuperate, in the next three or five years, we will raise troops to the north again, and we will be able to recover Yanyun and go straight to Huanglong!"
Wang Song nodded and looked around.
The mist slowly lifted, and the scenery on the plains was unobstructed, as well as the mountains and rivers in the distance. The great rivers and mountains, the Han people have worked hard for thousands of years, how can they be stained with blood!
Chong Yan woke up from his sleep, looked up, and saw several people not far away talking, one of whom was quite familiar, Yi Ran was Wang Song.
"Wang ...... Xianggong, the last time I saw him in Bianliang City, it has been two years now. Wang Xianggong has always been good!"
Time has passed, and he is a child of this family, and in front of Wang Song, he does not feel that his momentum is three points weaker, and his title naturally changes.
"Brother Seed, long time no see! After this war, where do you go from here, what are your plans?"
Seeing old acquaintances, Wang Song was also quite excited. He looked at the thousands of remnants of the defeated army behind him and asked with a smile.
"As long as the Xianggong Gang recaptures Qingjian City, these thousands of family brothers, including Xia, will all look forward to Xianggong's horse."
After he finished speaking, his eyes stared at Wang Song.
"It's a deal!"
Wang Song stretched out his palm, and Chong Yan hurriedly stepped forward, and the two of them hit each other hard, and each laughed.
"Zhang Xian, why are you busy here early in the morning? What about Yue Fei, why can't you see him?"
Wang Song saw Zhang Xian, who was patrolling the field, and shouted loudly.
Zhang Xian came over on a horse, his body was stained with blood, he dismounted and said: "Back to Xianggong, Yue Dutong led the cavalry to pursue the Jin deserters, and he has not returned yet." The villain has already arranged the defense of the camp, and now he is leading his brothers to inspect the camp and find out the casualties. When everything is finished, it will be reported to the public. ”
Wang Song nodded, and said in a deep voice: "One will be a success." This time, our army suffered countless casualties, and I am afraid that the largest number of people in our loyal army since its formation. ”
Zhang Xian shook his head and said, "It's indeed as Xianggong said." 60,000 soldiers, plus 65,000 sailors, lost 30,000 soldiers, which is really distressing for the villain! ”
Wang Song's mood was also heavy. These soldiers who died in battle are buried in this land forever.
The sun rose from the east and sprinkled the whole wilderness, and the red mist and water were thick and shocking in the bloodstained and yellow wilderness.
