The seemingly long and fierce battle did not last long, when the enemy's rout retreated to at least a mile, or even two, miles away in the ensuing artillery bombardment. The general situation of casualties and captures of the squadrons was also summarized from the squadrons.

"The enemy shelling, together with others, caused at least nearly a hundred casualties, thirty-seven killed. The night attacks of elite soldiers with bows and arrows at night brought more than 230 casualties, of which 21 were killed in battle by bows and arrows and short soldiers, and more than 30 were seriously wounded and probably lost their combat effectiveness. Although the cumulative casualties of more than 300 people were not all concentrated in the war barracks, and there were also some craftsmen in the auxiliary battalions and even those from the imperial horse guards, the casualties of the entire battle team also reached about 10%. The exclusion did not affect the minor injuries of the day's battle, and the net attrition in the barracks was more than half of it... "A teenager selected by Xiao Xuan's side may have maintained a decent morale at this time, perhaps because he was relatively close to the Son of Heaven, and he still had a summary report of the regulations. Of course, Xiao Xuan's own psychology also counted, and he didn't feel that he was too far away from the truth, but he still decided to personally inspect the positions of each squadron.

Even if the enemy army had retreated for a long time in the dark night, it seemed that there was not much positive morale in sight when Xiao Xuan inspected the positions of the squadrons, and it seemed that these teenagers who had not been in the camp long after entering the camp had not recovered from the previous pressure and fear. However, when the soldiers who had been prepared for a long time sent a lot of badges that seemed to be a little golden and seemed to have some strange patterns, they still felt a little surprised.

"Tonight I don't think the enemy will have the courage to attack at night again, and the battle is almost over. This is the first battle you've ever had since you joined the Army, a battle in the true sense of the word. Some of you may have fought at the Battle of the Midday Gate at the beginning of the month. But in my opinion: Wei Gelding's inner court army is not a real army, they have no armor and too many firearms, and they are very few capable. Today's battle is different. Although the rebels such as the Fifth Army Battalion are not strong opponents, they are also considered to be complete in battle and have some elite families who can fight, and their combat effectiveness has been known before. Defeat this opponent, and the world is already mine and yours. However, these valuable 'First Battle Medals' can only be given to those who have the courage to carry out orders. The casualties were less than 10 percent, but they were so frightened that they could not even carry out the most basic orders, and those who did not go out and hid in the position were not qualified to wear the first battle medal or even become a qualified soldier of the war battalion. It stands to reason that I should have expelled those of you who were unqualified and who might pose a danger to your comrades, or even executed them on the spot. Give up your place to someone who is truly capable, but this is the first time that Nin has experienced such a dangerous night battle. Those who had not rushed out according to the previous orders were sent to the punishment camp in the auxiliary camp. If you are lucky enough to have a good performance in the next big game, you may consider returning to the team ... ”

No one thought that they would be able to have such a gold medal after the war, which really made many people feel curious, even a little admiration. But what Xiao Xuan saw in the eyes of the young officers and soldiers was more doubts. The tradition of modern medals seems to be inherited from the West, and the excessively utilitarian East does not seem to have this concept at all, which also invisibly makes Xiao Xuan a little helpless, so he has to patiently face those somewhat curious eyes and explain: "Medals can actually be made of other things, but I think about it, they are still made of gold, a total of thousands of medals, a few thousand taels of gold is not a decimal. This is also a test for you in a way. I believe that there will never be a day when these medals will appear on the market or sold privately to those who do not have the experience they have today, and no one will ever exchange them for lowly food or other things, they are an important symbol of your life experience and military exploits, which will last for thousands of years without decaying, if any of you lose it, for whatever reason. You will all lose your status as a Guard and the possibility of having great interests in the future ... ”

Martial arts and even Oriental-style secular utilitarianism have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, and Xiao Xuan has no intention of completely reshaping the three views that are lacking in Chinese culture through a single sentence, so he can only use "fame and fortune" to instill the importance of battle medals in these teenagers.

However, although Xiao Xuan overestimated the significance of the medal in the eyes of people in this era, he underestimated the status of imperial power and people's hierarchical concepts. The Ninety-Five Venerable spent such a heavy price half a month ago, just for a testimony of the common battle experience, which still made many teenagers feel the intentions of the Son of Heaven. Many people were even moved to tears under this treatment.

In fact, there is no "personality cult" under the imperial society, especially for the people of the capital generation, even if they are teenagers from the bottom. But as a person in power from above, he can think so for every ordinary soldier, which also brings unexpected touch.

Those teenagers who did not get the gold medal of the first battle also realized something at this time, and they felt a lot of pressure and sadness, and many of them wept in pain.

"You don't have to. I can tell you the truth: now the Ming Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, and the people are also living in fire and water. The enemies of our army include not only those rebels and thieves who only talk about their own interests and have no public, but also those who are fierce and powerful outside the border. In the future, I will probably experience not once or twice, but ten or even dozens of battles with you. Many of you may not live to be crowned with a wife, so each and every one of you should be prepared for that. Those who are brave on the battlefield can certainly make your records as famous as those in the history books, and everyone is like each one of them... ”

At this point, the continuous sound of firearms seems to be repeated one after another, but because these firearms sounds are relatively regular, many people understand that it seems to be the unique sound when testing firearms.

According to Xiao Xuan's general understanding, the battle of the Imperial Horse Guard, which lasted for half a night, captured more than 400 sets of armor left over from the enemy's rout and escape, as well as hundreds of firearms with the core of the second general's gun position and more than ten major general's cannons. In addition, there are many ammunition and firearms, in order to maximize the performance and safety of these firearms when used during the day, the thousands of craftsmen of the auxiliary battalion not only have to use the molds prepared before to sharpen at least five sealing ammunition per firearm according to the caliber of different firearms as quickly as possible, but also to check and remix the gunpowder, and only in this way can these firearms be improved to the maximum extent that they can be used according to the standards of the previous Guards and play a greater role. The Imperial Horse Detective Rider who went out also detected some relevant enemy information, because the enemy situation is not difficult to confirm.

"As we thought, after their defeat, they seem to have controlled the Forbidden City, and the remnants of tens of thousands of enemies seem to intend to rely on the Purple City to defend themselves, and it seems that they still have a lot of people left behind and prepared, although the officers of the Shenji Battalion and even the Shenshu Battalion are controlled by our army, it seems that there are still many lower levels who are networked by them. It is estimated that there will still be fifteen thousand remnants of enemies in Miyagi... "The news from an officer who was out of the Imperial Horse Prison didn't seem to be very good.

However, after having a rough count of the family wealth in his hands at this time, Xiao Xuan felt that this was an opportunity. I don't plan to sit on the traditional deep palace emperor. Many people in the palace obviously need to be cut, but Xiao Xuan is always worried that if the range of action is too large, it will always attract all kinds of hidden dangers. But if you lose a lot of people due to the disaster of war, then you can't talk about it.

"On the eve of dawn, get your teams ready for daytime battle! The soldiers can take a break for a while, and the same is true for the auxiliary battalions after they have completed the necessary preparations, and we must make the enemy understand that our army is not only good at the use of firepower in defense... Xiao Xuan ordered with some confidence at this time.
