"Click...... Click...... Click......"

Cao Yingmao walked slowly on the battlefield full of blood with heavy steps, and the original black cowhide boots under his feet became swollen because they had been soaked in too much blood, and they also emitted a fishy smell from time to time.

"The third team will immediately carry the injured brothers down for treatment, and the second team will look around again to see if there are any injured or killed brothers who have not been found......"

The voice of Ma Wenbin, the first captain, sounded next to him, and at this time he was directing his subordinates to hurry up and clean up the battlefield, if it dragged on until dark, it would be troublesome.

Cao Yingmao looked at the battlefield in front of him in a daze, there were dense corpses everywhere, most of these corpses were rogues, but there were also very few corpses of Jiangning Army sergeants.

Although the number of Jiangning soldiers killed in battle was very small, Cao Yingmao's heart was still uncomfortable, most of these cavalry were Jiangningwei's military households, and he also trained them single-handedly, and he felt distressed for every death or injury.

However, after being a soldier for so many years, he also understands that since it is a war, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, and the pension system of the Jiangning Army is also generous in the entire Ming Dynasty, but all the sergeants who died in the war will receive a large amount of pension, and the guard will also be responsible for taking care of their children to raise them, and if their parents are lonely and widowed old people, the guard will also distribute a sum of money and food every month to ensure their old age.

In view of this, Jiang Ningwei's sergeants did not have any worries when they were fighting, and it was very rare for them to fear war or flee.

"Ah......h

"Let's go...... Don't fucking pretend to be dead, if you don't get up, I'll let you lie here forever! ”

There was a scream and scolding behind him, Cao Yingmao turned his head to look, and found that it was more than a hundred sergeants who were pressing hundreds of prisoners walking by, and one sergeant was picking up the fire gun in his hand and smashing it at a prisoner who fell to the ground, scolding while smashing back.

Cao Yingmao frowned at first, then shook his head and ignored it.

Although his cavalry battalion suffered little losses in today's battle, it also killed and wounded dozens of people, and some sergeants will inevitably fire on the prisoners, which is also inevitable, although he is the commander of a battalion, but he usually turns a blind eye to this kind of thing.

After all, although this kind of thing can be forcibly suppressed by military discipline, the mental pressure of the soldiers on the battlefield is very great, and it is not good to rely on military discipline alone to suppress it for too long, it is easy to cause low morale, not to mention, if it is serious, it will even cause a camp roar.

This battle is over, but Cao Yingmao's heart still hasn't been put down, two miles away from them is Ning Guofu, which is stationed in tens of thousands of Liukou, so even when the battle was at its most intense, Cao Yingmao did not put all his troops into the battle, but left a team of 1,000 people to be on guard.

At this time, a herald galloped from the east, stopped in front of Cao Yingmao, and quickly fell off his horse and said loudly: "General Qiqi, Huang Qian always ordered the villain to report, there is no movement in the thieves in Ning Guofu, and there is no sign of sending troops to reinforce them." ”

"yes, got it."

Cao Yingmao nodded slightly, "You tell Huang Jinsong, let him withdraw the people, just leave a team of men and horses to continue monitoring, and then order the first team to speed up the time to clean up the battlefield, there was a big battle today, everyone is tired, let's rest quickly after eating." ”

"Whoa!"

The herald agreed, and soon rode away.

The night fell again, and the whole land became dark again.

In Ningguo's mansion, in the mansion of a wealthy businessman who didn't know which one it was, Liu Zongmin stood in a hall, looking at the boxes piled up, and his heart was full of joy.

The reason why he took the initiative to ask Ying to lead his troops to attack Ning Guofu this time was that in addition to consolidating his position in the army, he naturally had the intention of making a fortune.

You must know that Jiangnan is known as the richest place in the Ming Dynasty, and the wealth here can be described as the most in the Ming Dynasty, as long as you can grab such a sum, you don't have to worry about it in the second half of your life.

Previously, when he was in Anqing Mansion, Li Zicheng and Li Yan were watching from the sidelines, and it was naturally difficult for him to start, but after he led the army by himself, he naturally had no such concerns.

After capturing the Ningguo Mansion, Liu Zongmin ordered, but all the mansions that looked like a spot were not spared, after a crazy slaughter and plunder, he looted more than 13 million taels of silver alone, more than 500,000 taels of gold, and as for all kinds of antiques, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, it was filled with hundreds of boxes.

Looking at the boxes piled up in the hall, Liu Zongmin had not recovered from ecstasy until now.

"Squeak......

The door of the hall was opened, and a henchman walked in, his eyes swept over the boxes in the hall, revealing a look of envy and greed, but he quickly retracted, walked to Liu Zongmin's side and whispered: "Liu Ye, the spies outside have come to report, and the people who are fighting with the officers and soldiers outside today have found out, it is indeed Tian Ye and their people, after a big battle, Tian Ye's people are almost all wiped out, and even Tian Ye's whereabouts are unknown." ”

After speaking, the henchman lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Liu Zongmin.

In fact, today's battle is only two miles away from Ning Guofu, and it would be an insult to say that Liu Zongmin didn't know, but when he reported to Liu Zongmin and asked Liu Zongmin if he went out of the city to help his friendly army, Liu Zongmin refused on the grounds that the situation was unknown.

If this matter reaches the ears of King Chuang, Liu Zongmin may have bad luck, and this henchman is naturally worried that Liu Zongmin will be angry and angry with himself.

However, this henchman's worry was superfluous, and after a while, Liu Zongmin's voice sounded leisurely: "Ma Qiang, you should treat today's incident as if it never happened, you have to rot in your heart, understand?" ”

The henchman trembled, and hurriedly said: "The villain understands, and he will never dare to say more than half a word." ”

"Milk is good."

After Liu Zongmin finished speaking, he took out something from his sleeve and threw it at him, "No, take it, it's your errand money today." ”

As soon as the henchman took the thing, he felt heavy, and when he fixed his eyes, it was actually a gold ingot, and it seemed that there were five taels to say the least.

Looking at the gold in his hand, his henchmen immediately understood that this was Liu Zongmin's hush money for himself, and if he dared to talk nonsense, the consequences would not be something he could bear.

Looking at the henchmen who hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, Liu Zongmin waved his hand and signaled that he could go.

It's just that before the other party left, the gate was pushed open again, and a personal soldier walked in and whispered: "Master Liu, Tian Ye has entered the city with dozens of people." ”

"Tian Jianxiu?"

Liu Zongmin was slightly stunned, and his face immediately became ugly......
