Chapter Seventy-Three: Captured
Xiao Tianjian stood in front of an officer, looking at the officer's face, he had never seen He Renlong, but today he accidentally captured He Renlong's nephew, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
At this time, He Fang was still in a coma, he was suffering from several wounds, and at this time, the medical soldiers had been stripped of their armor and his wounds were treated, but because of excessive blood loss, he did not wake up for the time being.
At the same time, Luo Li also grinned and hummed under a medical soldier, this guy is very fierce in attacking the mountain in the evening, but because it is too eye-catching, it has also become the target of everyone, and he has suffered as many as five arrow wounds on his body alone, two knife wounds, and one wound is caused by being hit by a three-eyed gun, fortunately he is wearing thick armor, these wounds are not deep, even the projectile hit by the three-eyed gun is only slightly embedded into his skin, with a silver spoon, it was dug out at once, and it looks like the skin is open and the flesh is blurredIt's scary but not life-threatening.
At this time, a medical soldier was treating his wounds, using a curved needle wearing white twine to stitch up his wounds one by one, when this guy went into battle, he didn't snort when he was stabbed, but when he was stitching, he was scared enough, hissing and snorting, his eyes didn't even dare to look at his wounds, and scolded the medical soldier vigorously, so that he could start lightly.
"Won't it hurt if you don't sew? Bear with me! I saw that you were still alive just now, and I didn't listen to your noise when I slashed my body, and at this moment you were scared of a small needle, do you still look like a man? Yan Chongxi squatted beside him to watch his jokes, teasing him.
"I'm afraid of this stitch, okay? Ouch...... It hurts me to death! Is this a spirit? What a sting! The shirtless Luo Li hissed and inhaled the cool air, and exhaled in pain while returning the mouth.
Xiao Tianjian turned his head to look at Luo Li, for this guy, what he likes now is to death, he is really a fierce general, he actually let him get his subordinates, so he walked over and smiled at him: "Bear with it, brother!" Wounds should be carefully cleaned and then sewn up to heal faster, you don't want to be put down because of these injuries! Well done today, you're the first to do it! ”
Seeing Xiao Tianjian coming over, Luo Li hurriedly endured the pain, stopped shouting, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "What is this injury!" When I was a child, I was torn a big hole in my shoulder by a tiger, and I didn't get stitched! I'm just a little afraid of this stitch, hehe! ”
"That's your life, we often fight on the battlefield, many people are because of a small injury, the wound festered into gangrene, and as a result, they lost their lives!" Xiao Tianjian said to him with a smile, and looked at the injuries on his body through the light of the torches, and saw that the injuries were not too serious, so he was completely relieved.
While he was talking, someone suddenly shouted, "Don't move! Move again, Lao Tzu will cut you! ”
As soon as Xiao Tianjian turned around, he saw two soldiers drawing knives and pressing them against the neck of He Renlong's nephew who was lying on the ground, forcing him to lie on the ground again, waiting for his blood-red eyes to glare at the surrounding subordinates of the Heavenly Punishment Army.
Xiao Tianjian immediately got up and walked over, waved his hand to let the two soldiers retreat, and asked He Fang with a sneer: "You are He Fang, the chief general of this official army!" Not bad! It's a man! I didn't embarrass your uncle, are you convinced now? ”
By the light of the torches, He Fang, who was lying on the ground, saw clearly that the person who came to him was the leader of the thief army, and he was even more furious, and scolded: "No matter how powerful you are, you are just a thief leader!" If you want to kill, you have to scrape any stool, don't talk nonsense! ”
Xiao Tianjian sneered and shook his head, "No, no, no!" How could I kill you? You're the nephew of the famous madman He, so it's of great use to keep you! Hehe! Otherwise, I wouldn't have had to make so much effort to save you! You'd better live well! It's best not to look for any trouble! ”
People are strange, before he was arrested just now, He Fang still wanted to kill himself with a knife, but now that he was captured, the wound was treated, and he had no determination to seek death again, although he knew that the thief army would keep his life and would not have any good intentions, but he still couldn't make up his mind, jumped up and fought hard, for Xiao Tianjian's teasing, he didn't have the strength to argue with Xiao Tianjian, so he had to close his eyes decadently, lie on the ground and no longer say anything.
In this battle, the Torture Heavenly Army killed a total of nearly 200 officers and soldiers under He Fang, and captured nearly 200 officers and soldiers, only a small number of officers and soldiers took advantage of the night to escape into the mountains and forests, and escaped the search of the Torture Heavenly Army, but their supplies basically fell into the hands of Xiao Tianjian.
In addition to a small amount of food, the Xingtian Army captured nearly 200 sets of armor, hundreds of soldiers, nearly 100 mules and horses, plus the battle of Dashiqiao during the day, which can be described as a great victory, for the Xingtian Army, the Xingtian Army has also experienced a severe test.
Compared with what was gained, the losses of the Xingtian Army were not too small, at the end of the day, more than 70 people were killed, and there were nearly 100 wounded soldiers, not including minor injuries, if they were all counted, the number of wounded soldiers reached as much as 20%, which was also their heaviest loss in recent times, especially Luo Li's outpost, because it undertook the main operation of attacking the mountain, the casualties reached nearly half of the level, and it was basically disabled.
But Xiao Tianjian did not feel sorry, after all, it was inevitable to pay the price of casualties in the war, after this tempering, not only did the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army not decline, but the new barracks could already be converted into soldiers, and after being added to the soldiers, the strength of each outpost of the combat team could basically reach the state of full strength, and the total strength was still maintained at about 1,000 people.
At the end of the day, although they had gained a lot, the subordinates of the Xingtian Army were also tired enough, and after collecting the troops, after eating something simply, most of them lay on the ground on the ground, huddled together and slept on the ground.
At this time, although the day was still a little hot, but the night had cooled down, although Xiao Tianjian was also very tired, but he still insisted on patrolling around the army, for those soldiers who were lying on the ground and sleeping in the open, pull the cloak wrapped around their bodies, so that they could sleep more peacefully and save the cold.
Some soldiers saw him patrolling the camp and wanted to get up and salute, but they were all dissuaded by him, telling them not to speak and to rest quickly.
When he saw that several of his subordinates were not sleeping, excitedly surrounding a bonfire and talking about today's battle, Xiao Tianjian also leaned over, beckoned Tietou to bring a bag of wine, took a sip of it himself, and passed it to Yan Chongxi and the others Everyone took a sip, and said to them: "I still have to ramble on it!" There is not much we can give to the brothers at the moment, and sometimes we may not even be able to eat enough food, so as generals, we must be more sympathetic to the suffering of our subordinates! I hope you all remember that too! For the time being, our Xingtian Army can only rely on this to maintain our unity! ”
Feng Gouzi hung an arm, today he was also hit by an arrow in the arm, and was slightly injured, after listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, while handing a piece of roasted horse meat to Xiao Tianjian, he nodded and smiled: "What the general said is very true, I will keep it in mind!" Since we started with you, you have given us a lot of explanations, and the big guy sees it in his eyes and remembers it in his heart! Won't forget! ”
Luo Li had already treated the wound, put on a dress, and his body was wrapped like a zongzi, and his spirit was very good, while drinking, he chewed the roasted horse meat and said: "I, Luo Li, have seen a big boss of our family treat his subordinates like this in my life, and the brothers are naturally grateful, and it is strange that they don't sell their lives when they go into battle!" Not to mention anything else, I Luo Li is doing things under the big boss, which is happy! ”
"What are we going to do next?" Yan Chongxi handed the wine bag back to Xiao Tianjian's hand, and asked Xiao Tianjian with a long sigh of relief.
"We have all the things we should take, and after meeting Huang Shengqiang and Zhang Chao tomorrow, we will go back to Longzhou City!" At the end of this day, we have eaten nearly 1,000 people of He Renlong, it can be said that it has greatly injured He Renlong's vitality, it's time for us to go back and rest and see what he Li Zicheng should do! Xiao Tianjian opened his mouth to reply, and after that, he took a big bite off a piece of horse meat, chewed it and swallowed it.
In the first battle this evening, the officers and soldiers were killed and wounded dozens of horses, in line with the principle of waste utilization, the people of the Xingtian Army killed these wounded horses together, peeled the skin and sprinkled coarse salt, marinated the horse meat, barbecued on the spot or cooked some for the soldiers in the army to eat for dinner, a great victory brought extreme physical exertion, just use these things to reward the soldiers.
There was nothing to say all night, the Xingtian army members rested comfortably at the foot of the mountain for a night, and only after dawn did they get up to clean up the battlefield, dig and bury the bodies of the dead soldiers of the two armies, and collect all kinds of materials scattered on the battlefield, and so on in the morning (between nine and eleven o'clock) Huang Shengqiang and Zhang Chao finally caught up with the soldiers and artillery, and the Xingtian army gathered together, and after briefly talking about the battle last night, after eating some things, they pulled out the camp and went in the direction of Longzhou City.
