Chapter 1128: The Attacking Ming Army (8)
More than 20,000 Qin troops in Wanxian County defended, but under the full attack of the Ming army, it only took half a day to break the city. But it's easy to break the city, but it's much harder to clean up. After the city was broken, most of the Qin army fled out of Xicheng, even if they knew that there was a huge trap outside, but there was no way out, and the people who went out of Xicheng were naturally intercepted by the wind chasing camp, either surrendered with their heads in their hands, or lay on the ground and became corpses.
And Wanxian County is basically scrapped. It was not only the Qin army that suffered heavy casualties in the city, but also the people in the city, and the casualties in this battle were also incalculable.
The Ming army entered the city, while clearing the scattered Qin troops scattered in the city, while cleaning up the mess and pacifying the people, until after nightfall, the county seat of Wanxian calmed down. Qin Feng also immediately moved to the county seat.
The county government occupied by Chunfeng in the original year became the last place of stubborn resistance of the Qin soldiers, under the attack of the Ming army, it was almost destroyed into a white land, and after entering the city, Qin Feng temporarily lived in the home of a rich family who was lucky enough to be well preserved in the city.
In the atrium that is not too big, more than a dozen burly generals sit left and right, the whole room looks a lot cramped, the roof is newly repaired, it can be seen that there should be a big hole in the middle, and the surrounding rafters and beams have scorched black marks, which should have been hit by the iron bullets of the thunderbolt. Directly below the cave, although the stone slabs are covered, the color of the stone slabs is also very different from the color of the surrounding area, and it is obvious that it was also temporarily repaired.
Qin Feng, who was sitting in the middle, looked up at the roof, then looked down at the middle of the room, and sighed. The shelter I found for myself has become like this, and you can imagine what the county seat of Wanxian County has become dilapidated.
"How's the situation in the city? How many people are there?" Qin Feng asked.
"Return to Your Majesty." Yang Zhi stood up, "Just counted, there are about 5,000 people left in the city, except for a few, the homes have basically been destroyed, and now we have mobilized some military tents to temporarily let these people live, these people have been placed in the four cities, and the corresponding porridge shacks have also been built, but they will not be hungry."
Qin Feng nodded, "Be careful, don't make any trouble."
"Your Majesty can rest assured that the last general has found some squires and respected people in the original county town, and assigned them to four camps, and with them to appease, the people's emotions have calmed down." YANG Zhidao.
"You have a good idea, Yang Zhi, you are from everyone's background, and doing these things is also a family history, so you will be responsible for managing all the stalls in the city first, until the Tiger Prison sends officials to take over." Qin Feng commanded.
"Yes, Your Majesty. As long as there is enough food, there is no problem at all to appease these people in the lower city."
"That's good!" Qin Feng nodded, turned to look at the other official on the side, this was the only civil official in the room, "Imperial Doctor Zhao."
"Your Majesty." Imperial Physician Zhao stood up, bowed down and said, "Wechen has already summoned all the doctors who accompanied the army, and asked General Yang to go to the camp where the refugees were placed in the city to find some more people, these people are all gathered together, and all the wounded are also gathered together, so that they can be treated more effectively."
"It's really more efficient." Qin Feng said: "The injured people in the city, as well as the injured soldiers of the Qin army, must also be treated equally."
"Yes, Your Majesty, but in this case, we will not have enough medicinal herbs."
"Go to the Tiger Prison and transfer all the doctors who can be used. Hurry up and do it."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will do it immediately!" Imperial Physician Zhao owed, turned around and walked out of the room.
After dealing with these imminent matters, Qin Feng took a breath, looked at the generals in the room, and said slowly: "This battle, although there is nothing dangerous and the fight is also very smooth, but our casualties are not small, and now the various departments should also count the specific casualty figures, right?" Let's talk about it."
Although Yang Zhi was the last to command the siege operation, in this room, the oldest qualified person was Yu Chao of the Wind Chasing Battalion, and then Lu Feng of the Miner Battalion. Of course, this was said after the Agni Death Camp was eliminated, but what made them embarrassed was that they really didn't contribute much in this battle.
The Chasing Wind Battalion, which was responsible for intercepting outside the West Gate, finally drove the sheep again, and the prisoners were captured quite a lot, but when it came to the battle exploits, he didn't have the face to open his mouth, and there was nothing to say about the casualties." Your Majesty, more than a dozen men and horses in the Wind Chasing Battalion have fallen and injured themselves, and this is our loss in this battle."
Lu Feng spread his hands, "The miner battalion finally entered the city to help destroy the remnants of the enemy, but the soldiers of our miner battalion were wearing heavy armor and ran as fast as the people in the other battalion, so there was no loss."
No loss, it means that there is no military exploits, these two people are used to fighting tough battles, charging ahead, this time they can only watch from the wall, of course their hearts will not be too comfortable, they have always boasted after the war, but they are the most prominent time in the war camps. This time, they could only watch the others smug.
"The new battalion lost eight hundred and fifteen men, including five sentry officers and two captains. One thousand and twenty-three wounded, ninety percent of these people, will be able to return to the army in the future." Yang Zhi said, in this battle, the new battalion undertook the most crazy counterattack of the Qin army, attracting all the elites of Nian Chunfeng, but in the end, it was the two battalions of Huben and Yulin who broke through the south gate first, Yang Zhi couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, and looked up at Jian Fang and Jiang Hao on the opposite side, where these two guys were stealing fun, looking at the bloody bandages wrapped around the two guys, Yang Zhi opened his mouth, and swallowed back the ridicule that came to his mouth, no matter what, people also came from a bloody battle.
"The new three battalions suffered a total of 1,215 casualties, of which 508 were killed." Ke Zhen Road.
"The total casualties of the new four battalions were 978, of which 451 were killed." Chen Shaowei stood up and hugged his fists.
"The total casualties of the two battalions of the Tiger Ben Feather Forest are 875, of which 315 are killed." Jian Fang stood up and said.
The casualties of the Tiger Ben Yulin, who took the lead in breaking through the south gate, were the least, naturally because Dongcheng attracted most of the enemy's main force, Yang Zhi felt a twitch at the corner of his mouth, the new battalion lost nearly half of its combat strength in this battle, and even the thunderstorm was so injured that he couldn't get up, and he had to rest for more than a month to recover.
Qin Feng calculated in his heart, after this battle, he basically lost the strength of a war camp, which was really a bit painful, which also gave him a new understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Qin army, this is just some temporary improvised county soldiers, siege is really not a good way to fight, in the case of absolute superiority, the casualties are still shocking.
"In this battle, the first merit should be the new battalion, I think there will be no objection to this!" Qin Feng said lightly, but his eyes were looking at Jian Fang and Jiang Hao, and the two of them quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is no difference between the last general and the others, if it weren't for General Yang attracting a large number of the enemy's main forces, we would not have been able to go down to the south gate in one fell swoop."
"Well, the first one is the new battalion, and the second is of course Tiger Ben and Yulin. Rest, let's talk about the merits in turn!" Qin Feng nodded, "This battle, I think it also made everyone more vigilant, and the Qin army is not so easy to deal with. Their will to fight is still very strong, in the future we will advance to Yongdu, the closer to Yongdu, the stronger the ruling ability of the Qin court, the stronger the will to resist, the battle, will become more and more difficult to fight. We must have a full understanding of this point, and we should not look down on the enemy because we have won consecutive battles, otherwise we will not know what the reason is if the ship capsizes when the time comes."
"I would like to receive His Majesty's teachings!" All the generals clasped their fists together and said in unison.
"However, in the battle of Wanxian, we have finally won a big victory, Nian Chunfeng's army of 50,000 has been wiped out, aside from Xintong County, in the battle of Wanxian alone, we have captured nearly 30,000 prisoners. The Qin army's three-way army, the right flank has been broken, the left flank has now been surrounded by us, and there are not many roads in front of Yuan Yiqiu now, so I don't have much time for everyone to rest." Qin Feng said with a smile: "The new first battalion, the new third battalion, and the new fourth battalion will temporarily stay in Wanxian County to reorganize and replenish manpower, the whole army over there is still continuing, you can go there to select manpower to fill in the army, and the soldiers over there are also Qingzhou soldiers, as long as they can be integrated, the combat effectiveness of the three battalions will not be reduced."
"Yes!"
"The Wind Chasing Battalion, the Miner Battalion, the Yulin and the Tiger Ben, rest for three days, and after three days, prepare to enter Wanxian County to fight, if my expectations are good, Yuan Yiqiu will definitely cross the river."
"Yes!" The commanders of the four battle camps who were named hugged their fists to receive the order, and their faces were irrepressibly happy.
"Jian Fang and Jiang Hao, can you two still hold on?" Qin Feng looked at the two bloodstained generals and asked.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, it's just a skin injury, Imperial Doctor Zhao has already shown us, and it hasn't hurt our muscles and bones." The two generals hurriedly said, for fear that His Majesty would open his mouth and let them go back to recuperate.
"It's okay!" Qin Feng said with a smile, and turned his head to look at Yang Zhi: "Yang Zhi, while you are resting and recuperating here, you must also be optimistic about these captives, a large number of craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry have gone to Xintong County, and Xintong County will be a place that we will vigorously develop, where a large number of miners and people are needed, and these captives will come in handy." Qin Feng said: "It's still the old rule in the past, according to their crimes, they will be sentenced to three to five years in prison, and when they finish their sentences, Xintong County will almost be on the right track."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will cooperate well with the adults of the Ministry of Works, but their hands and feet are so fast, the general estimates that the new battalion can be reorganized in a month at most. Then you can go into battle again." YANG Zhidao.
"You can rest assured about this, Qiaoshou is now looking at Xintong's mine, his eyes are green, he can say, the quality of Xintong's ore is no worse than Daye's, and it is really a tyrannical thing to fall into the hands of these Xintong mine owners."
