Chen Liyuan secretly praised Lu Xiangsheng's generosity, grabbing a wounded man back for ten taels of silver, he knew the attraction of his subordinates, and Lu Xiangsheng stipulated this, so as not to make it difficult for him. This kind of Shangguan is really good, he thought about these things that he didn't have, and he also accelerated outward. At the same time, he shouted: "Two wounded soldiers carry one, two wounded soldiers lift it, be careful." ”

Du Guangting was struggling to support it, and the situation improved greatly after receiving the support of the cavalry battalion, but in general he was still at a disadvantage. The main problem is the wounded soldiers, although most of the wounded soldiers grit their teeth and do not make loud noises, but the surrounding soldiers can see the appearance of the brothers, and they will inevitably be affected, worrying that they will become the next wounded soldiers, and then they will be in trouble.

At this time, Chen Liyuan and Ma Guang first shouted: "We were ordered by Division Commander Lu to rescue the wounded, and we did not bring weapons, please don't worry." He was self-aware, and knew that his men might cause misunderstandings when they suddenly infiltrated the Guards, so he came to say hello first.

Soon, those "heroic" Han soldiers rushed over, saw that there were wounded on the ground, and immediately the two of them lifted him up one after the other, and then quickly ran backwards.

Outside the city gate, the medical officer and the apprentices were waiting here, there were some young men carrying stretchers, the Han army put the wounded on the stretcher, and there was a guard officer who put twenty silver coins in their hands, looking at such exquisite silver coins, the Han soldiers ran more happily.

Although two people get the same amount of money for carrying a wounded soldier as a person carrying a corpse, the Han soldiers all feel that carrying the corpse is unlucky, so they first choose the wounded soldier to transport it back, and only choose to carry the corpse after there are no wounded soldiers.

In this way, the wounded soldiers were soon carried down, and the soldiers of the Guards already knew that they would only be injured if they were hit by arrows, so the parts that were easily injured were better protected, and the number of wounded was greatly reduced, and the wounded were properly cared for, which also greatly boosted morale.

At this time, Du Guangting ordered to retreat while fighting, and slowly got out of the range of the arrows of the Houjin armor soldiers, and at this distance, the attack power of the fire guns was not weakened much, so the casualties of the Houjin soldiers still existed, and the guards basically did not appear wounded.

Yue Tuo looked at the Houjin archers around him, they all shot about seven or eight arrows, and the accuracy and power of the arrows shot were greatly weakened, and some of them could no longer continue to shoot arrows, so he ordered the armor soldiers who could shoot arrows to advance while shooting, approaching the distance from the guards, and when the distance was close enough, they began to charge with white blades.

Lu Xiangsheng had been observing the situation with a telescope at the head of the city, and when he saw that the Houjin soldiers had already entered the range of the artillery, he ordered the artillery to be fired. The artillerymen were already eager to try, and after finally getting the order, they quickly ignited, and the rumbling cannon soon rang out, and one by one large or small iron balls fell into the Houjin soldiers' formation, or beating, or rolling, taking away the lives of the armored soldiers.

As long as the iron ball is wiped off, it is basically hopeless, even if it dies for a while, the miserable cry is enough to frighten the other Houjin soldiers not to rush again.

Yue Tuo also stayed for a while, he didn't see the artillery of the Ming army, but the artillery of the Guards seemed to hit farther than he had seen, and the shells were larger, he forgot the order to retreat for a while, and then the second cannon sound sounded again, and it knocked over again.

Yue Tuo hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and mingle." The sound of gold sounded, and the Houjin soldiers, who had long been frightened by the power of the cannon, ran back desperately, and the screams of their companions around them could not be cared about.

Lu Xiangsheng asked the herald to call Chen Liyuan and said to him: "Now that the artillery can hit the distance, the Houjin army should not dare to come, does General Chen have the intention of cutting some heads?" ”

Chen Liyuan said embarrassedly: "It's all the credit of the soldiers of the Guards, how dare we be greedy." ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled: "The first level, you are three and I are seven, how about it?" "The Guards don't need the head to report the merits, but Lu Xiangsheng still wants the Han army to go out and cut the head, first, to practice their courage, and second, to let them retreat, and they can get along with each other more at ease in the future.

Chen Li was overjoyed, thanked Lu Xiangsheng and took the Han army out to cut the head, a head according to the Ming army is fifty taels of silver or a merit, although the actual income may not be so much, but even if it is discounted, a head is worth more than seven taels of silver.

At this time, the second brigade had already retreated, and Du Guangting came to the city wall with a disgraced face and saluted: "Division commander, the last general has no way to lead, which has caused heavy losses to our army, please punish the division commander." ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "I don't blame you, I was too careless." Last time, I despised Jiannu in a small victory, and the saint said that in a field battle with Jiannu, you must outnumber the enemy army, or rely on fortifications, I forgot the teachings of the saint, you command correctly, this defeat has nothing to do with you, go and clean up the battle. ”

Du Guangting went to count the casualties in a hurry, and not long after, Chen Liyuan had already returned with the Han army to cut off the head. He smiled at Lu Xiangsheng and said regretfully: "There are two hundred and eleven levels in total, and some of the first levels have been beaten to nothing, in fact, there are more than two hundred and twenty levels." We didn't dare to cut the fire guns in the distance, and it seems that there are more than 200 of them. ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and asked, "Does General Chen want to take the silver or the merits?" “

Chen Liyuan looked at Lu Xiangsheng's face and said, "The last general wants to use half of it to reward his subordinates, and half of it to report his merits." “

Lu Xiangsheng put his mind at ease, if he took all the silver, it would mean that he was ready to slip away at any time, and now he took half of it out to explain the exercises, which means that he wants to mix well in Daming, which is a good thing.

In the evening, Lu Xiangsheng convened a meeting of the generals, first of all, the issue of battle damage, the Guards lost 168 people, seriously wounded 237 people, and lightly wounded 320 people.

After that, there were a total of 211 gold heads, plus about 200 or more who did not cut their heads, and the wounded should be fewer than the Guards, but the number was limited, and in general the exchange ratio was acceptable. However, the Guards did not see it that way, because the Guards were originally better equipped than the Houjin soldiers, and the number of the Guards was small, so such an exchange was not worth it.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "It's better to defend the city, if it goes on like this, your own people will be wiped out first." “

Du Guangting asked: "Division commander, why doesn't the emperor recruit more guards, if we have three divisions now, two will do, and Yue Tuo will have been killed by us a long time ago." Our Guards have a total of three divisions and one brigade, and we have to defend the Beijing Division, only a few of us can be dispatched to Liaodong, and we have so many people in the Ming Dynasty, if the emperor establishes twenty divisions, Jiannu can really be broken in the near future. “

All kinds of requests, thank you for your support!
