Chapter 350: The two armies meet

Zu Dashou saw Zhang Chun, Wu Xiang and Song Wei were all in such a situation, and he could understand it, after all, he was also very surprised when he saw the hot air balloon and these chariots for the first time.

"Zhang Bingbei, Song Zongzhen, Wu Zongzhen, about all kinds of things about General Liu, let's talk about it later, now let's treat the wounded soldiers first, collect the remains of the fallen soldiers, and also count the results, a few generals have killed all the way, I think there are a lot of gains, right?" Zu Dashou asked with a smile.

Zhang Chun, Song Wei and Wu Xiang saw Zu Dashou mentioning the results of the battle, and they all wrote pride and pride on their faces.

"In this battle, our army fought fiercely with the elite soldiers commanded by the slave chief Huang Taiji for a long time, and the battle was at least three hundred levels." Zhang Chun, on behalf of Wu Xiang and Song Wei, said very proudly.

In Zhang Chun's view, this kind of result is already a very remarkable and amazing record.

He thought that Zu Dashou would be very surprised when he told such results, but the fact was that Zu Dashou just smiled very indifferently and said, "A few generals are good." ”

Zu Dashou's attitude made Zhang Chun very suspicious.

Zhang Chun thought that if Zu Dashou didn't look at his own results, then Zu Dashou would definitely have achieved better results, so he asked out loud: "I don't know how much Zu Zongzhen has fought with Jiannu recently?" ”

He believes that Zu Dashou's results may be good, but it should only be five or six hundred gains.

How did you know that Zu Dashou said a series of shocking numbers.

"Our army fought fiercely with Jiannu for nearly two months, and roughly calculated, a total of 4,000 Jiannu were killed, and more than 1,000 people were captured, in addition, our army also captured more than 8,000 horses with two white flags in Jiannu." Zu Dashou said loudly with a smile on his face.

Hiss!

When Zhang Chun, Song Wei and Wu Xiang heard this, they were all shocked and dumbfounded, and they almost couldn't believe their ears.

This number is too exaggerated to make people believe it, and if this number is indeed true, then this must be a great victory, and it is an unprecedented victory for the Ming Dynasty since the war between the Jiannu army and the Ming Dynasty.

"Mr. Zu, don't you play me?" Zhang Chun asked in a trembling voice.

"Why do you have to tease Zhang Bingbei in Dashou, the heads of Jiannu are all there, and the soldiers can be inspected by themselves." Zu Dashou said with confidence.

"If this is the case, this battle is a big victory after the victory of Ningjin, it is the first big victory since the emperor ascended the throne, if the news of this great victory reaches the Beijing Division, the government and the opposition will be excited, the emperor will be happy, happy event, really a great joy. Mr. Zu is a true god in the town, and Zhang is obedient. When Zhang Chun said this, he was a little incoherent with excitement.

In the second year of Chongzhen, Jiannu Kou committed the Beijing Division, and the North Zhili was full of smoke, which naturally made the heavens. There is no face left, and now the Liaodong army has won such a big victory, which is just reported to the imperial court, so as to boost the morale of the people and avenge the revenge of the Jiannu Koubian.

Song Wei and Wu Xiang listened to Zhang Chun's words, and they all thought deeply and secretly rejoiced.

Although this military merit is not as dazzling as Zu Dashou and Liu Renyu, it is also a great achievement, and the court and the emperor will definitely be rewarded.

"It's too early to say that Jiannu is just temporarily retreating, and now we haven't retreated, we still have a big war to fight, and when Jiannu is repelled by our army, our army has achieved a complete victory, and it's not too late to say a big victory."

Zu Dashou felt that the Houjin army had not completely retreated, and the crisis had not been completely resolved, so it was too early to say that the battle had achieved a great victory, so he warned the generals on the field.

"What Mr. Zu said is that the enemy has not retreated, and he must not relax." Zhang Chun nodded again and again, and then said to Song Wei and Wu Xiang: "Mr. Wu, Mr. Song, quickly clean up the battlefield, let's go to Dalinghe City and then make plans." ”

"Yes, Zhang Bingbei." Song Wei and Wu Xiang received the order, so they turned around and went to clean up the battlefield.

After a short time, four-wheeled wagons drove from Dalinghe City to the battlefield, first hauling the bodies of the fallen soldiers back to Dalinghe City, and then hauling the spoils captured in the battle back to the city.

The armor, blades, bows, and cannons left behind by the Houjin soldiers were all counted as trophies and were transported back, while the dead and wounded cattle, mules and horses were also transported back for the cooks to make vegetables and sacrifice their teeth.

After an hour, the entire battlefield was cleaned.

Zhang Chun, Song Wei, Wu Xiang, Zu Dashou and Liu Renyu joined forces and returned to the Daling River.

He Kegang, who was sitting in the city of Dalinghe, had won a great victory in the early morning, and the reinforcements had broken through the Houjin blockade and joined the people of Zu Dashou and Liu Renyu, and he informed the Ming army left behind in the city of the good news.

Naturally, the officers and men were overjoyed.

Although there is no shortage of food in Dalinghe City, it is always besieged by Jiannu and becomes a lonely boat in the vast sea of enemy troops, and there is still some psychological pressure.

When Zhang Chun, Song Wei, and Wu Xiang's reinforcements arrived, all the Ming troops who were still left behind poured out of their nests and warmly welcomed them, and some of the Ming soldiers who were too excited even cried.

As the chief general and supervisor of the reinforcements, Zhang Chun naturally focused on comforting the Ming army left behind in Dalinghe City.

After this thing is done, he will have time to meet He Kegang.

The welcoming ceremony lasted more than ten minutes before it ended, and all the Ming troops entered the city.

When the reinforcements entered the city, the first thing they did was to quickly settle down and settle down first, and then the defenders would make a fire and make food, so as to entertain the rescue reinforcements.

"Send the order down, let the firefighters wash and peel the dead cows and horses and mules, make good dishes, and this town will eat wine and dinner with Zhang Bingbei, Song Zongzhen, Wu Zongzhen and General Liu." Zu Dashou shouted the order.

"Yes, Marshal." When the firefighters received the order, they hurried to prepare wine and food.

"Generals, it's almost noon now, it's just lunch time, please rest for a while, the meal is ready, Zu Mou will invite you to feast in the military tent of the town, how about it?" Zu Dashou said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll wait until I'm done with military affairs, and then I'll go to Zuzong Town to have wine and dinner." Zhang Chun and the others gave the main arch, and then they went to arrange the camp.

At this time, there were no ground buildings in Dalinghe City except for a semi-pulled reinforced concrete barracks and a warehouse without doors and windows, and the new reinforcements could only arrange the camp by themselves.

The camp of the Jingbianbao army had been arranged a long time ago, and Liu Renyu didn't have to worry about the camp, so he gathered all the soldiers and horses according to the usual practice, and sent the soldiers who died in battle to heaven.

At this time, the joy brought by the victory in the hearts of the soldiers of Jingbianbao, as well as the pride and pride of defeating Jiannu, will be replaced by a faint sadness, because there is a robe that gets along with each other day and night, and from then on, yin and yang are separated.

"How many robes did you die in battle?" Liu Renyu asked Li Jiye.

"Today's battle is so fierce that we have lost 620 brothers." Li Jiye replied with a gloomy expression.

"Jiannu is really still a little powerful, our officers and soldiers are wearing heavy armor and have been trained for a long time, and there are still such big casualties. How many brothers are there to fight again? Liu Renyu asked in a deep voice.

"There are 1,200 people who can still move." Li Jiye replied in a muffled voice.

"Well, when I became a soldier and carried a knife and gun, sooner or later I will have this day. The robes who died in the war were all recorded, and they went back to live for a good life. Liu Renyu advised.

"Yes, General." Li Jiye replied.

"According to the procedure, send the martyrs on the road." Liu Renyu said solemnly.

"Yes, General." Li Jiye agreed, and then commanded his subordinates to arrange the remains of the dead officers and soldiers alternately with wood according to the procedure, and piled them into a cube.

He then had a fire lit and burned the wood along with the bodies of the fallen soldiers.

Liu Renyu led the officers and soldiers under his hands, first bowed three times, and then bowed solemnly, and the military band played a low mournful music.

The Liao army, which had been with the Jingbianbao army for a long time in Dalinghe City, had long been accustomed to this phenomenon and did not take it to heart, but the soldiers and horses of Zhang Chun, Wu Xiang, and Song Wei had never seen such a formation, so the officers and soldiers of these troops all stopped what they were doing and looked at the Jingbianbao army in a daze.

After a short time, the fire burned out, and the soldiers of the Jingbian Fort Army took a beautiful urn to put the ashes in, and the urn placed the spiritual table, whose surname was and whose name was clearly written.

Eventually, the urns were respectfully carried into a tent with a plaque on it.

When Zhang Chun, Song Wei and Wu Xiang's soldiers saw this scene, they were all greatly moved.

It turns out that the soldier died in battle, and he can still receive such courtesy.

And Zhang Chun, Song Wei and Wu Xiang also saw this scene, and they were also quite shocked, and at the same time, they also felt that the eyes of their soldiers looking at them were somewhat extraordinary.

Zhang Chun seemed to understand the meaning of this look, so he immediately said loudly to the left and right: "Return to Jinzhou quickly, send a good coffin, and this army is ready to bury the fallen soldiers." ”

"Our army wants it too." Song Wei and Wu Xiang said in unison.

"Yes, Bingbei, two of you." Zhang Chun's personal soldiers received the order, and immediately set off and left the city.

After Zhang Chun said these words, he keenly observed that the complicated and inexplicable emotions in the eyes of his soldiers had faded a lot.
