Chapter 198 Wang Shiheng soldiers are in Yuezhou City
On the road from the north bank of the Xinqiang River to Yuezhou City, there were corpses of the green camp everywhere, broken guns and broken flags, and ownerless war horses, all covered with official roads.
This time, Wang Yan did not leave his hand, and directly chased Zu Kefa to the city of Yuezhou, before collecting his troops and going back to clean up the battlefield.
In this battle, Zu Kefa's 20,000 horses went out of the city, but only a few dozen horses could return to Yuezhou.
At this time, Wang Yan returned to the bank of the river, and the soldiers who participated in the battle respected him like a god, and the last of them to join the Manda Zhuangbu was even more admired by him.
At this time, the soldiers who supervised the pro-army had already begun to clean up the battlefield, check on the wounded brothers, count the men and horses, carry the banner weapons, clean up the soldiers who died in the battle, and count the battle situation as soon as possible, and then report it to Wang Yan.
At that time, Man Dazhuang and others looked at the corpses all over the ground, but they were very embarrassed, they stood outside the battlefield, as if they had come to visit.
Man Dazhuang originally thought that after crossing the river, he could fight a good battle and mix up a little credit, but the green battalion soldiers were too uncompetitive, and they had fled all over the mountains before they landed on the shore, and Man Dazhuang had no cavalry, so he didn't catch a single hair of the green battalion soldiers.
If the ordinary Ming army killed, Man Dazhuang would have led people to come forward to rob him, but in today's battle, Wang Yan and his soldiers and horses fiercely shocked him, an old oilman.
At this time, Wang Yan rode back on a war horse, looked at Man Dazhuang standing there, came to them with the horse, and said very kindly: "Don't be idle, this corpse all over the ground is all merit!" General Man worked hard, cut off all the heads here and along the road, and then dragged the corpses to the city of Yuezhou to build a landscape. When the work is done, how about the Governor share the credit of your thousand heads? ”
When Man Dazhuang and many generals heard this, they were suddenly excited, a thousand heads, although it was a green battalion, but it was also a great achievement, enough for them to be promoted to the next level.
In addition to the excitement, the two thousand Ming troops couldn't help but blush, they crossed the river, they didn't even catch up with the charge, at most they just shouted two voices in the back, and they were all killed by Wang Yan's subordinates, they didn't contribute at all, and now they took such a big advantage, even they themselves felt embarrassed.
Wang Yan looked at their faces, nodded slightly, and said in his heart, "This man is still shameful, you can support it." ”
"A certain Fu Biao will be full of strength, and he will be the head of the stallion of Chu in the future!"
"A certain person is willing to be the head of the country!"
Man Dazhuang and the others knelt down on one knee and saluted Wang Yan, not only because they took advantage of Ruoda, but also because of Wang Yan's attitude towards them, and in troubled times, they were also willing to follow characters who could fight, fight, and compete.
Seeing this, Wang Yan smiled slightly, he didn't mean to take the opportunity to annex Zhang Kuang's subordinates, so he hurriedly asked them to get up and go to clean up the battlefield first.
For a while, Man Dazhuang led two thousand soldiers into the battlefield in an uproar, and while taking over the work from the hands of the pro-army of the superintendent, he said with a flattering smile: "How can you let the elite do such a dirty thing as cutting people's heads, it is naturally good to leave it to the little ones." ”
Including Man Dazhuang himself, the 2,000-strong Ming army drew their swords one after another and got busy on the corpses.
Although the green camp was all Han Chinese, all of them had shaved their hair and kept braids, and Man Dazhuang and others cut off their heads, tied each of the five heads together in braids, and then put them on the car for the scribe to register.
All this looks bloody and scary, but the two thousand Ming troops are very happy and hard, because these are all meritorious deeds, and they are all white silver.
When it was dark, the results of the battle were counted, and it turned out that the Green Battalion's will to fight was indeed too weak, and on the battlefield near the river, only 1,500 heads were received, while on the official road from the Xintang River to Yuezhou, nearly 3,400 were received, and most of them died in the rout, and were cut down by the cavalry.
These heads, plus some of the heads that had been trampled to pieces, should have totaled five thousand.
20,000 green battalions, 5,000 dead and wounded, more than a dozen horsemen returned to the city, captured more than 6,000 surrenderers, and the rest did not dare to take the official road in the rout, and fled one after another.
Although Wang Yan had few casualties, he still killed 300 people, these were all old soldiers who followed him all the way, which made him feel sorry and distressed.
The scholars who rushed to the end also lost ten people, and they went to the battlefield for the first time, although Wang Yan was taken care of, but they still couldn't avoid casualties.
At night, the fire on the bank of the new wall river soared into the sky, it was Wang Yan burning the corpses of the fallen soldiers, the billowing smoke obscured the stars, and the sad sacrificial songs filled the heavens and the earth.
Man Dazhuang and his sergeants watched with novelty as the soldiers of the pro-army of the Governor burned the corpses, packed the ashes in clay pots, wrote their names and hung them on their bodies, and listened to Wang Yan's sad recitation of the sacrifice, and their hearts were greatly shaken.
"If a certain is a subordinate of the Guogong, he is willing to fight to the death for the Guogong."
"Yes~ The brothers in the past, when they died, they died, and no one cared about them at all, but Grandpa Guo cared about the sons and daughters who died in battle, which moved a certain heart."
They have also died many brothers on the battlefield, and it is a blessing to have someone collect the corpses, and there is also the reason why the grandfather of the dynasty personally paid tribute.
The next day, Wang Yan ordered all the 6,000 captives to be braided, and then led them to camp under the city of Yuezhou.
Man Dazhuang continued his work, leading the soldiers to transport the headless corpses to the city, the armor and robes on the corpses were not too dirty, except for the underwear, all of them were peeled off and picked up, and the corpses were piled up outside Yuezhou City in five piles of corpses that were stronger than the city.
Zu Kefa was immediately frightened when he saw this, and the 10,000 green camps in Yuezhou City were violent.
At this time, Wang Yan asked people to shout under the city, claiming that the city would be attacked in three days, and those who dared to resist would be killed, and if they surrendered, they would be given a hundred catties and returned home.
Why did the Green Battalion surrender to the Qing Court, in addition to being coerced by the main general, the fear of death is also a big reason, and now Wang Yan is threatening with this, plus the corpse mountain outside the city, which immediately makes the Green Battalion army feel turbulent and have no will to fight.
On the same night, there were 2,000 green battalions directly out of the city from the north gate and fled to Wuchang, and the remaining soldiers and horses in the city were already panicked, as if there was a mutiny.
Seeing this, Zhang Yingxiang knew that Yuezhou could no longer be defended, so he suggested that Zu Kefa abandon the city and retreat to Wuchang, but Zu Kefa wanted to hold Yuezhou so that he could make up for his mistakes.
He lost 20,000 people in the first battle, and if he gave up Yuezhou again and ruined the layout of Belle Ye Luckdehun, then the loss of official position was small, and it was possible to go directly to prison and behead.
Zu Kefa hurriedly ordered his soldiers, packed sand and gravel with cloth bags, and prepared to block the four gates of Yuezhou, so as to hold on until the Qing army returned.
