"Victory!"

Seeing the Qing army fleeing, there was a cheer on the wall, Xia Shiye shouted: "Zhang Heizi, hurry up and chase it out, you can cut off more Tartar heads." ”

Zhang Songtao said cautiously: "The Tartars still have combat power, so let's accept it when it is good." ”

He could see clearly that the Qing army's large array on the official road was still tightly organized, and they still had combat strength, especially nearly 50 armored soldiers, and about 100 Yu Ding coats. They basically still have horses, and the infantry can't catch up with them when they run away on horseback.

Reluctantly pursued, it was not easy to maintain a formation on the official road, and the Tartars killed a horse pistol, and the consequences were unimaginable.

Although the first-class army is equipped with horses, the equestrian training is only carried out to the stage of riding in the field. In the event of a sudden attack, the infantry on horseback will not be a match for their elite cavalry.

If Jiu Ye and the others chase after them, they will also be besieged by their forty or fifty infantry armors.

Their sentries had just returned, and they had many scars on their bodies, so they had better not get into a bitter battle again.

Seeing that all the Tartars had retreated, he ordered to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded.

The battle was short, but quite tragic, with the corpses of the Qing soldiers scattered all over the 50 paces from the wall to the road ahead, and some of the wounded who were not dead were still wailing.

Especially near the entrance of the inner urn city, a dark red, severed arms, stumps, and broken armor and weapons are everywhere. The corpses of the Qing soldiers are basically mutilated, the snow has been dyed reddish-brown, mixed with white ash, and the smoke and blood that have not dispersed are really terrifying.

Everyone went down to the wall to clean the battlefield, and the spearmen and shield men cleaned up the battlefield, and along the way, they saw the corpses of the Qing army, all the heads were cut off, all the armor was stripped off, and the weapons were also cleaned up, and the heads of the undead were cut off with a knife.

Their headless corpses were buried in a centralized manner to prevent the plague.

After packing up a few shield carts, I saw that the four shield carts were all broken, and there were more than a dozen coated corpses near the back of the car, all of which were twisted and hideous.

Looking at them, some of them were killed by the 10,000-strong enemy of the walled wall, and some were killed by the Qing soldiers who were afraid of moving forward.

Zhang Songtao sighed, no matter whether these people were acting for the tiger or not, after all, they were all the people who were taken away back then, and now that they are dead, everything is gone. Then they were put in order, and there was no need to cut off their heads, and they were to have a large grave alone.

The battlefield was cleaned to the side of the official road, and there were some surprises, but the Tartars gave up some baggage, large carts and small carts, most of which were grain and grass, dozens of stones, as well as pots and pans, tents, felt blankets and other sundries.

More than 300 of them went south, and the amount of food and drink every day was not small, and whether they were wearing armor or not, their soldiers had horses, some armor soldiers had auxiliary horses, and some of Yu Ding also had horses. More than 300 people and more than 300 horses and mules will have 145 stone of grain and grass every day.

Even if they carried grain and grass for three to five days, they would need dozens of wheelbarrows to carry two or three stones per cart. In addition, a large number of tent equipment, pots and stoves for making fires and meals, etc., are also the reason why they need a lot of coating when they go on the expedition.

These baggage was heavy, and it was inconvenient to carry it for escape, so the tartars were abandoned. Everyone also keenly noticed that there were still some broken silver and copper coins scattered along the official road. In particular, some silver ingots are quite large, and the white flowers are quite dazzling in the snow.

Seeing that the soldiers were excited, Zhang Songtao strictly forbade his subordinates to pick up at will, and several officers discussed for a while, all thinking that this was the Tartar's strategy to lure the enemy, abandoning the baggage and softness to lead people to pursue, while the defeated Tartars set up an ambush somewhere.

Everyone thought that they couldn't be tricked, so Zhang Songtao asked the Nine Masters to chase them out for several miles, pick up the gold and silver, and don't want it any farther.

The officers counted the captured heads, they all learned in the lecture hall, and basically each of them knew about 1,500 words, and ordinary calculation and writing were not a problem. In particular, Zhang Songtao has read books, has the level of being admitted to Xiucai, and is the deputy chief of the martial arts hall, so there is no problem with writing and calculation.

In the end, one hundred and one Tartar heads were captured, and it was estimated that there were 46 armored soldiers and 55 unarmored bannermen.

Among those armored soldiers, there were even some horsemen in vests, and the number of people was estimated to be about fourteen.

The horse armor is so difficult to kill, but now they are all blown up by thousands of enemies, so that everyone realizes the power of their firearms. It's a pity that all the horses they rode on were also killed, which made everyone feel a little pity.

There are still a lot of armor and weapons captured in this battle, more than 100 pairs of double inserts, most of them are big bows with about ten forces, arrows, flying axe bags, javelin bags, and bags. There are also dozens of goose wing knives and goose feather knives, short axes, iron hammers, iron whips, pick knives, tiger spears, shun knives, shields, etc.

In terms of clothing and armor, there are 50 pairs of iron-inlaid cotton armor, 20 pairs of iron short armor, more than a dozen pairs of leather armor, chain armor, pure cotton armor, and a different number of warm hats and indigo shoes.

Many of these armors are broken and need to be repaired, they are different in style, and they need to be modified, but in any case, it is good to capture enemy armor equipment.

The casualties of the side have also been counted, sixteen killed and seriously wounded, mostly in two gun emplacements, and the ramp wall is close to the intersection of Wu Jia.

This distance is easy to attack the Tartars, and at the same time, it is easy to be attacked by the Tartars, and the heavy arrows of the Tartars at close range, as well as their throwing axes and javelins, are not small.

The special artillery position was on the front, and the ramp wall was even lower, only a little more than a foot above the ground, and the Tartar weapons could easily attack their heads.

There are also many people injured on the top wall, but fortunately, they are high enough, and they have the protection of fine armor, and the general injuries are not serious, and after the ambulance team lifts them down, there is a great chance of recovery.

This is also the protective effect of fine armor, as long as the distance is not too close, and it does not hit the vital point, there is no fear of arrows. Tartars have no chance of surviving after being shot, and in this regard, firearms have an advantage over bows and arrows.

In the conference hall, the deputy general Feng, Li Cao and others sat down, and there were twelve captains and deputy captains of the four teams below, nine masters, Xia Shi masters, Luo eleven masters, and high twelve masters.

Listening to Zhang Songtao's summary of the results, everyone was overjoyed, and with the initial army, they faced the famous Tartars and beheaded more than 100 of them, which was a big victory.

Huang Shouyi, the captain of the first team, smiled happily: "This is a big victory, and you should immediately report the victory to Yang Xianggong!" ”

Liu Qingqu, the captain of the second team, laughed: "It's time to report the victory immediately, the chicken is not good, now we are six majestic!" In the first battle of the Tartars, more than 100 were beheaded, and when I saw other brothers, my old Liu also had a light on his face. ”

With the expansion of the army, a large number of people from the north bank of Suining have become the deputy level of the captain's team, and the local scolding dialect of Suipi has also become the common language of joy and scolding of each team.

Zhang Songtao looked at everyone with a smile: "It is time to report the victory immediately, in terms of good news, I will entrust the ninth master to take it to Tianyue Village, let the military law hall nuclear power as soon as possible, and compensate the brothers who were killed and wounded." ”

He arched his hand to Qian Zhongyong, the ninth master on the side: "The delivery of the good news will be the hard work of the ninth master." ”

The ninth master laughed and said: "Mr. Zhang is polite, it's just a gesture." ”

Their thirteen horsemen got the information and captured two more Tartars alive, and they were about to go south, but they were delayed by the Tartars who attacked Zhongwu Village. Now that the Tartars have retreated, it is natural to go south as soon as possible and send the information and living mouth to Tianyue Village.

Although the sixth general manager has guards as heralds for the pond horse, how can the elite cavalry of the ninth master be safe and reliable?

At present, the examination of the military merits of the Xin'an Army is also carried out by the Military Law Hall, and depending on the distance of the road, the investigation and report of the major merit will be completed within 10 days, and the minor merit will be limited to five days.

Their military merit treatment is to reward silver plus meritorious service, the upper limit of silver reward is fifty taels, there is no upper limit for meritorious service, but meritorious service is an important consideration for promotion, and it can also be exchanged for physical land, good land and beautiful houses, which is very attractive.

Yang He's military merit system has been carefully designed, not only to see the first rank, but in fact, most of the first rank is for outsiders to see, and there are internal assessment standards. Look at the overall credit, the degree of task completion, the proportion of credit between large groups and small groups, etc.

Within the general team, there are also first-line, second-line, and third-line post tasks, such as the soldiers on the ramp wall, compared with the soldiers on the top wall, they have military merits, high bounties, and many meritorious deeds, because they are closer to the enemy and more dangerous.

If you want to make people who are engaged in high-risk work play hard, they can't do without high bonuses and merit incentives.

Jiu Ye happily accepted Zhang Songtao's commission, and after his daughter married Yang He, she became more polite to the generals.

Especially Zhang Songtao, it can be seen that this is the object of Yang Xianggong's key cultivation, so he is naturally more polite.

Of course, at the same time, he is polite at the same time, he also keeps a distance from the generals, he has a very rich life experience, has his own philosophy of life, and is too close to the generals, and in the eyes of others, it is a gang, which will make Yang Xianggong have unnecessary associations.

Even when his daughter's marriage was carried out to the third book and six ceremonies, he also asked his eldest son Qian Likui and fourth son Qian Lijue to withdraw from the cavalry team and run the Feiyun Dart Bureau with his second son Qian Liqing.

The bureau is headquartered in Xin'anzhuang, armed escort of commercial goods, collection of local customs and customs, and is also a hidden intelligence force of the Xin'an Army.

Jiu Ye is very satisfied with his current life, and it is even more rare for his daughter to have a good home, what he is doing now is not to add any trouble to her.

……

Near noon, the Ninth Master and the Thirteen Horsemen went south, taking with them the captured Tartar horses and mules armor, six captured Tartar heads, two captured white flag vests, and a good news written by Zhang Songtao.

From Zhongwu Village to Tianyue Village is only sixty miles, it is Tongjing Avenue again, the road is relatively easy to walk, they are fast horses, keep changing horses, only half an hour, they rushed to the east gate of the walled city.

In front of a rather large military village, three gates in the north and southeast, the same upper and lower two walled walls meander, like a semicircle, wrapping the entire Tianyue Mountain, until meandering to both ends of Huangchao Lake.

On the wall, the "Yang" character banner hunting sounded, densely holding the two-type new An, and the soldiers wearing non-commissioned armor were on guard patrol. They were all iron helmets, crimson cloaks, lean and slaughtering, and iron armor shining in the sun. The end is heavily guarded, and the breath of Jin Ge Iron Horse is blowing in his face.

This is Tianyue Village, the base camp of the Xin'an Army on Tongjing Avenue, in which 3,200 people from the First Army, the Second Army, and the Central Military Department are stationed.

Soon Jiu Ye and others entered the military village, Jiu Ye held the good news, and also saw the coach Yang He in the huge conference hall, as well as Minister Yang, Han Daxia, Han Guan'er, and Luo Xianjue beside him.
