"Okay, don't cry, let's take the head of this dog thief back to pay tribute to my father-in-law."

Chen Yan said.

……

As night fell, the general camp of the Dang Capture Army was set up a few miles outside the city of Xizhou.

The tent in the barracks was lit up all night, and Chen Yan sat on the main seat, and below him.

In addition to Wen Haisheng sitting in Anping, Zhang Sanhu is still injured in the barracks!

Almost all of the top brass of the Swinging Army were there.

It was a traditional post-war summary meeting, and after a period of nitpicking, Chen Yan opened his mouth to ask about the results of the war.

"Tell me, what was the outcome of this battle during the day today?"

Chen Yan asked.

"Yes, Grand Duke!"

Zhou Su stood up and said.

"According to statistics, in today's daytime battle, our side killed 2,471 enemies, including 389 cavalry, and the rest were all foot soldiers."

"Five hundred and thirteen war horses were captured, three hundred pieces of Song army infantry armor, and countless weapons."

"Our army suffered three hundred and nineteen casualties, of which one hundred and seventy-three were wounded and one hundred and forty-six were killed."

Chen Yan bowed slightly, such casualties were somewhat beyond his expectations.

On average, the Dang army lost one person, and the Song army lost twenty people, which is a bit incredible!

"Inform me, be busy with logistics tonight, and add food to my brothers tomorrow morning, and not a single cent of the rewards and pensions that should be issued will be missing."

"Whoever dares to stretch out his hand in this matter, Lao Tzu will really kill people!"

Chen Yan said.

Many high-ranking members of the Dang Capture Army went to their respective positions, but Chen Yan took a few personal guards and went to the wounded barracks alone.

From afar, he could hear the wails and screams of the wounded and sick camp!

A trace of guilt flashed in Chen Yan's eyes, and he strode into the wounded camp, opened the nearest tent, and walked in.

The camp was very clean, and there were several straw mats, on which thick mattresses were laid, and wounded soldiers were lying on them.

I'm covered with a new quilt and I'm sleeping!

Although from time to time someone let out a snort because of the pain, no one cared, and Chen Yan walked to the side of a young soldier.

His left arm was wrapped in a layer of gauze, and although the blood stopped, it continued to ooze and stain the gauze red, and his left arm was cut off directly from his wrist.

The whole person was in a coma, his young face was extremely pale, and there were traces of tears in the corners of his eyes.

Chen Yan sighed and gently tucked the quilt for him.

It's just that this gentle movement woke him up, and the young soldier's eyes suddenly opened and looked at Chen Yan in front of him.

The vigilance in a pair of eyes immediately turned into surprise!

He just wanted to struggle to get up and salute Chen Yan, but Chen Yan held him down and patted him lightly on the chest.

"Rest well, I'll come and see everyone, don't wake everyone up."

"Governor, I ......"

"It's okay, you don't have to salute, it's time for me to salute you, you are all heroes, real heroes."

"The Governor ......"

However, the other soldiers in the camp also woke up one after another, and they were not sleeping deeply, and they were easily awakened.

"Everyone, have a good rest, don't get up, I'm here to see everyone."

"Governor, I'm a waste, I can't stay in the army......"

The soldier whose wrist had been broken at the root said in a depressed mood, his eyes full of dead silence and despair.

Chen Yan patted the young soldier on the shoulder, and said in a very certain tone.

"Who said you were wasted?! Tell me nonsense, you cut off your left hand, and your right hand is not fine. ”

"You can write, you can read, since you can't stay in the army, then go to logistics, go to the place, go to the gentleman to teach, to learn the knowledge to govern the party."

Chen Yan said.

"You're not wasted, who dares to say that you're wasted, you let him come to me and break his dog's legs!"

Hope reignited in the depths of the young soldier's eyes.

"Take good care of your injuries, the Swinging Army needs you, and I need you too!"

Chen Yan said.

"Everyone is, the Swinging Army needs everyone, and I need everyone."

"Yes!"

The atmosphere in the tent began to become a little lively.

Chen Yan nodded, left this camp, turned around and went to other camps, he walked around each camp, comforting the soldiers and encouraging them.

When those wounded soldiers return to the team, they will be Chen Yan's most loyal supporters!

For those disabled and retired soldiers, Chen Yan will arrange them to the grassroots level and let them govern one side.

After all, they all know how to read, and after training in the Dangju Army for so long, it shouldn't be a big problem to govern some small places, and the most important thing is that these people are very loyal to Chen Yan.

He is paving the way for the imperial power to go to the countryside in advance, and to pry open a gap in the rural clan system, otherwise the imperial power will not go to the countryside, and it will be counted as the imperial power.

……

Niulan Village outside Anping City!

Spring ploughing has ended, originally at this time in previous years, it should be the whole village regardless of age to go up the mountain and down the river, cut wood and wood, collect wild fruits and vegetables to live.

But this year, the elderly villagers gathered in twos and threes under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village to chat.

This is because the wages given by the workshops of the Dang Capture Army are very high, and the strong laborers of the family go to work in the workshops of the Dang Capture Army, although it is a little hard, but the money earned is enough to feed the family.

Quite a few people went, and even some women went into the workshop!

This also led to the scene in front of them, and the villagers, who should have been busy at this time, have been idle.

A strong laborer in the family can support the family, the elderly in the family can rest, and the children are also sent to the school at the head of the village.

Although the school of the Dang Ju Army does not teach the Four Books and Five Classics used in the imperial examination, as long as the children can learn some knowledge, even if it is a little hard, the villagers are happy.

The Dang Capture Army went out to fight and won consecutive battles, which made these villagers unconsciously have less worries and began to try to integrate into the system of the Swing Army.

It's just that the originally peaceful and peaceful life was disrupted by the sudden appearance of the Western Xia cavalry!

The fierce and vicious Western Xia cavalry suddenly appeared, rode a tall horse, and rode into Niulan Village, where several old men were brutally killed, cut off their heads and hung them on the neck of the war horse as a trophy to show off.

The children in the school also died tragically, and the teacher resisted to protect the students and was chopped into pulp.

The Western Xia cavalry rushed into the village, killed people when they saw them, robbed things when they saw them, pressed them on the spot when they saw young women, and then did indescribable things in front of countless people.

Let those women scream, these Tangut people don't care!

After doing the unspeakable, they would kill the women, cut off their limbs and heads, and leave their bodies in pools of blood.

Someone even set up a pot and threw a crying baby into the country, watching the baby sink up and down with the boiling water, screaming for a while and then making no sound.

These Tanguts laughed wildly and let out perverted laughter.
