Chapter 412: Post-War Arrangements
Wu Dalang withdrew the sword and inserted it back into its scabbard.
At this time, Yang Zaixing took the lead in coming to the carriage, and Song Jiang and others also followed.
"Master Wu, are you okay?" Yang Zaixing asked anxiously.
He didn't know that Wu Dalang knew martial arts, so he was afraid that Wu Dalang was killed by Qiong Demon Nayan just now, so he was really to blame.
"It's fine. Let's clean up the battlefield. Wu Dalang said slowly.
"It's a subordinate who quits." Yang Zaixing said and hurried back again, instructing a group of soldiers to start collecting the loot.
"Let's go back to the inn first." Wu Dalang said and got back into the carriage, looking a little silent.
Jian Ying knew that Wu Dalang was in a bad mood, so he didn't make a sound, and silently drove the carriage towards the inn.
Song Jiang and the others looked at the carriage in the distance and were a little confused, so they didn't understand what state Wu Dalang was, and they didn't arrange the follow-up things, and they didn't say a word.
"Brother Wu Song, what's wrong with Lord Wu?" Song Jiang asked about Wu Song next to him.
If you want to talk about Wu Dalang, Wu Song should know the scene best, after all, in their opinion, Wu Song is Wu Dalang's younger brother, if he doesn't know who else knows.
How does Wu Song know what Wu Dalang is thinking, this brother of his is now very capable, and he is so mysterious, if he wants to analyze Wu Dalang's mental activities, it is better to ask him to kill a few more Liao soldiers.
"Well... My brother may be angry. Yes, that's all. Wu Song thought for a moment and casually burst out of a sentence.
Anyway, looking at Wu Dalang's frosty face, there must be anger, and there is nothing wrong with not speaking when he is angry.
Song Jiang nodded in disbelief: "You still know Master Wu, I think Master Wu is really angry." Master Wu is generally not very angry, I am afraid that the Liao army will be unlucky. ”
Wu Yong said: "Okay, let's stop talking, let's clean up the battlefield together, sort out the casualties as soon as possible, and report to Master Wu." ”
......
Wu Yongyi reminded that these people also took action immediately.
It was already dark, and the battlefield was not so easy to clean, but the people knew this, and they went back to light torches and came to help.
With torch lighting, the battlefield can be cleared much faster.
The most important thing to clean up the battlefield is these war horses, tens of thousands of war horses, even for the Liao soldiers, it is a lot of money.
But the reason why the Liao soldiers all sent cavalry over was that they felt that they would not fail, so they sent cavalry to fight quickly to relieve their hatred, but who knew that they would be wiped out.
Although there are tens of thousands of war horses, half of them are dead, and some of the surviving war horses have run away without knowing what to do, so the real ones are only about 3,000.
Those who are lost can only be looked for tomorrow, after all, every war horse is a great wealth for them.
Of course, those dead horses were not discarded, but let these people take them back, clean up and cook them before they could be eaten.
For Jinghai County, where there is not enough food now, this is undoubtedly a relief in the snow.
Of course, these trophies are not only war horses, but also Liao soldiers wearing armor, weapons and other things, which is also a big gain.
Although these equipment are not as good as those of the Great Song Dynasty, these militias still need them.
After sweeping the battlefield, everyone moved all the corpses of the Liao soldiers together. Then I burned them all with a fire.
Because everyone knows that Wu Dalang doesn't like to bury corpses, and the same is true for the Liao soldiers who dealt with Wuyan and Yanshou before, Wu Dalang specially ordered to burn them.
After everything was taken care of, they all walked towards the inn.
There was a large room in the inn, which was made up of several rooms together, and now it was also a meeting place for them.
When they came in, they saw that Wu Dalang was already sitting there.
The men also found their own seats and sat down.
Wu Dalang glanced at it and saw that almost everyone had arrived, so he sat up straight.
"Let's report on the casualties first." Wu Dalang said slowly, with a little sadness in his tone.
Yang Zaixing stood up: "The army killed more than 30 people and wounded more than 50 people. ”
After Yang Zaixing finished speaking, he sat down, and then Song Jiang stood up: "More than 2,300 people died and more than 1,400 were injured. ”
After Song Jiang finished speaking, as if the strength of his whole body had been drained, he sat down on the chair.
After watching the previous battle situation, Wu Dalang also had a general understanding of the casualties, but listening to Song Jiang say it, it was like a boulder pressing on his chest.
Wu Dalang exhaled: "Whether it is a soldier or a civilian, write down the names of these dead people." Then give me the notebook. ”
"Yes." Song Jiang and Yang Zaixing responded in unison.
"I am also responsible for this war, but I did not think about it comprehensively, otherwise I would not have caused such a big loss. I will learn this lesson and try to do better in the future. ”
Wu Dalang first admitted his mistake, and he miscalculated Wu Yanguang's determination to take revenge.
Wu Dalang originally thought that when Wu Yanguang sent troops, he would come back with troops.
But Wu Dalang didn't expect Wu Yanguang to directly let people bring 10,000 cavalry, and the sun and moon went straight to Jinghai County.
This is where Wu Dalang made a mistake.
If there is a mistake, change it, Wu Dalang did not excuse himself, a mistake is a mistake.
Wu Dalang's confession made everyone stunned, in their opinion, Wu Dalang was not wrong, but Wu Dalang insisted on taking the responsibility down, and everyone in the room had a higher opinion of Wu Dalang.
After Wu Dalang finished speaking, he said again: "In order to prevent this from happening again, we must strengthen our strength. Here are a few things I can do. ”
"First, although we have paid a heavy price, there is no doubt that we have won a battle, and I believe that many people will come back later, and Sun Zhendong will arrange for these people."
"Second, I have a technical drawing of cement and forged steel here, Song Jiang, you organize some people to start manufacturing."
"Third, I have the latest blueprints for the muskets, earth-shattering thunderbolts, and cannons. Yang Zaixing, this matter is left to you, these firearms should be manufactured with the latest guidelines, you can discuss with Song Jiang and work together to complete it. ”
"Fourth, I have a lot of things to make, and I still have a wall to build, so I need a lot of people to do it."
"There are definitely not enough people in Jinghai County, so I want more people to help. Jian Ying, you go to other counties to issue recruitment notices, and everyone who comes to participate in the labor can get paid. ”
"So many things lead to another problem, that is, money, you don't have to worry about money for the time being, I will let people deal with it."
"That's all, everyone is tired, let's go and rest."
After Wu Dalang finished speaking, he stopped talking, and the others also retreated.
