Chapter 508: Picking up the Mess
Treating wounded soldiers, cleaning the battlefield, collecting prisoners, there are a lot of messes left after the war, and it is almost dawn after cleaning them up.
Chao Gai led his soldiers back to the camp, and Li Kui grabbed a wounded soldier wrapped in a mummy, and came over to Chao Gai and said, "Brother, guess who I caught." ”
"Could it be the commander of the Liao soldiers, Ye Luxiong?" Chao Gai asked.
Li Kui was shocked: "It seems that my brother is really good at calculating, it is Ye Luxiong." This guy pretended to be dead, so that the military doctor saw through it, and asked the other soldiers to know that it was a big fish, and at first I thought it was an ordinary officer, but I didn't expect it to be the commander of the Liao soldiers. ”
Chao Gai said: "How is the injury, how is it wrapped like this." ”
"The military doctor has already seen it, and there are more than 80 iron sand in his body, and more than 60 have been made, and there is no way for the remaining 20 military doctors, but the military doctor said that he can't die, at most it hurts." Li Kui said.
Chao Gai said: "The commander of the Liao army is very important, bring him to the military headquarters and hand him over to the Gongsun military division to take care of." ”
"Yes." Li Kui followed Chao Gai and sent Yeluxiong to Gongsun Sheng, who asked, "Who is this?" ”
Chao Gai said: "This person Ye Luxiong, the commander of the Liao soldiers, is guarded by a special person arranged by the Gongsun military division, so that the military doctor can treat him well, and he must not hurt his life." ”
Yeluxiong knew Chinese and said, "You are Chao Gai, the commander of the Jeju Army, why don't you cut me, don't waste medicine to treat your injuries." ”
Chao Gai said: "It turns out that you are awake, and I thought you were dizzy." You don't need to worry about medicines, as early as three years ago, you expected the invasion of the Liao Kingdom, and the hoarded grain, grass, and medicines are piled up, which is enough to use, so you don't need to worry. ”
Gongsun Sheng shook the dust of the Buddha and said: "Marshal Yelu knows that the army is defeated, so he asks for a quick death. But why should we kill you? There are still 30,000 Liao soldiers fleeing in disarray, as long as you are in our hands, the team loyal to you will definitely come to the rescue, and we can annihilate them when the time comes. ”
Gongsun Sheng said that he arranged fifty elite soldiers to guard Yeluxiong, after all, he was also a marshal, and the treatment he was given was still very good, a single tent, a warm quilt, and everything else was free except that he couldn't walk around.
It didn't take long for Wu Yong to count the results of the battle, which annihilated more than 12,000 Liao soldiers, of which more than 6,500 were killed and more than 5,500 were captured, including Ye Luxiong, the commander of the Liao army. The casualties of the Jeju army were also counted, with more than 800 killed and 2,000 wounded.
The generals also came to the Chinese army to give orders, and they smiled when they heard the results of the battle.
Chao Gai was overjoyed and said: "To achieve such a result, the first credit should be to push the Gongsun military division, and the Gongsun military division reminded in time to strengthen the defense, otherwise our losses may be very large." ”
The generals said: "That's true, we were careless about the victories in the past few days, and we didn't expect the Liao soldiers to think about counterattacking on the way to escape." ”
Qin Ming proposed: "Take advantage of his illness and ask for his life." Why not take advantage of the leaderless Liao soldiers to pounce on thousands and annihilate all the Liao soldiers. ”
"Battalion Commander Qin is reasonable, it's just that the Liao soldiers still have 27,000 or 8,000 troops, and now that the Liao soldiers have been defeated in terms of form, I'm afraid the people in the court should not be able to sit still, what we have to do now is to consolidate the results of the battle, train the soldiers, and rescue the refugees. Now in the winter, the people have repeatedly suffered military disasters, and if they are not rescued in time, I am afraid that they will starve all over the wilderness. Wu Yong said.
Qin Ming shook his head, he was also helpless, the visible enemy is easy to fight, and the invisible enemy is difficult to defend, the Great Song Dynasty has always been on guard against military generals, and Chao Gai is not a fuel-saving lamp, how can it be at the mercy of those ministers in the court.
Chao Gai said: "It's not that we don't have to defend against the Liao soldiers, it's just that there are too many constraints." As Wu Yongjun said, rescuing the people is also a major task at present, the Liao soldiers invaded the south of the Liao soldiers, I am afraid that there are four or five hundred thousand people, our grain and grass in the mountainous areas of Jingcheng County is obviously not enough, we need to send a strong general to Huanghua Port to escort the grain and grass, along the road to guard against sneak attacks, which general is willing to go. ”
Sun An said: "Our battalion has not contributed to the war for several days, and now the horsepower is abundant, and the work of escorting grain and grass can be handed over to our battalion." ”
Chao Gai said: "Sun An's martial arts are outstanding, but he can take this position, but now that it is an extraordinary period, I have to be careful, and then send Niu Gao to lead the troops to assist you, be careful all the way, and send the baggage to Zhao County as soon as possible." ”
Sun An and Niu Gao received the order and led the men and horses to Cangzhou to escort the grain and grass.
Gongsun Sheng said: "Although the Liao soldiers were defeated, they still have spare strength, and the military advisor Aliyun has many tricks and has to be guarded against." It would be safer to organize the rest of our cavalry as a mobile force and be on standby at any time. ”
Chao Gai nodded: "Gongsun Junshi has a point. Signed for Lu Junyi's exploits in the battle for several days, the military department decided to grant Lu Junyi the treatment of being a battalion and commanding a battalion of 1,000 light cavalry. ”
Generals, you look at me, I look at you, Lu Junyi's upgrade speed is too fast, but Chao Gai is also telling the truth, Lu Junyi's martial arts are so good that he is a mess, and he is a rare opponent when he is shot in the horse's shoe, whether it is a single fight or a group fight.
Shi Jin said: "Battalion Commander Lu has good martial arts, although he has improved quickly, but he is a real military merit, and I am convinced." ”
Not to mention Qin Ming, Yang Zhi and others, who had fought with Lu Junyi, they were naturally convinced knowing Lu Junyi's strength.
Lu Junyi said: "How can Lu be so virtuous, he has to be so valued by the general and everyone. ”
Chao Gai said: "Battalion Commander Lu deserves all the positions, I just hope that Battalion Commander Lu will learn more about our new tactics in the future." ”
Lu Junyi nodded yes, if Chao Gai said this before, Lu Junyi would definitely not believe it, but after seeing the power of Jeju weapons repeatedly, Lu Junyi was also extremely shocked, and the cavalry and infantry of the Liao State encountered the musketeers of the Jeju army like waves hitting stones, and they couldn't charge at all.
"Qin Ming, Lu Junyi, Yang Zhi, and Huang Xin led their headquarters and their 4,000 reserve cavalry, as mobile troops, ready to fight at any time to defend against the sneak attack of the Liao soldiers." Chao Gai ordered.
"Yes, follow the command." The four of them were ordered to go, inspect the horses, weapons, lead the reserves, and so on.
The generals were almost gone, and Li Kui said: "Why don't the infantry of the two battalions of me and Fan Rui have no task?" ”
Wu Yong said: "You don't have a task to go to sleep, do you still need to ask, of course you just continue to guard the camp." ”
Chao Gai said: "Your two battalions continue to guard the camp, be sure to ensure the safety of the camp, and wait to observe the movement of the Liao soldiers before making plans." ”
"Wu Yongjunshi, the matter of recruiting new recruits will be handed over to you, this time the soldiers recruited in a unified manner are called engineering soldiers, unless there are special talents are recruited into the engineering troops, and the soldiers selected by each battalion in the future will be selected from the engineering troops." Chao Gai said.
