Chapter 60: Post-War Processing
Huang Xin wanted to escape, but Chao Chong moved at this time, he made a move Su Qin's back sword, his body bent forward into a bow, and he threw out the Baipi knife in both hands, and a white practice rushed towards Huang Xin, hitting the war horse under his crotch, and the war horse was pierced by a seven-foot long knife and rolled to the ground.

Yang Zhi rushed to the front and captured Huang Xinsheng, who had fallen to pieces.
So far, the battle has been completely won.
Chao Chong ordered people to go to the vicinity to guard against the arrival of officials and soldiers in Qingfeng Village, and at the same time ordered the battlefield to be cleaned.
A battle of 1,000 people is not large, but the scene is also tragic.
There are not many real spears used by the spearmen of Erlongshan, and most of them use bitter bamboo guns. The so-called bitter bamboo spear, in fact, does not have an iron spear head, cut the bamboo pole transported from the south into two zhang one, sharpen the tip, and fry it in oil, it becomes a simple spear.
After a battle, there was a bamboo spear head that had been cut off by the officers and soldiers on the battlefield. There are also some that are pierced in the bodies of the officers and soldiers, and the broken burrs of the bamboo are pierced into the body, and they can't die for a while, and they cry in pain and cry for their mothers.
The weather was hot, and all the soldiers were sweating after the battle, but they were in good spirits, and the victory made them look excited.
Thunder They commanded the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and collected all the armor, spears, steel knives, and arrows of the officers and soldiers.
Cao Zheng and Chao were promoted to the Marquis of Yu, and led a part of the soldiers to count the casualties and treat the soldiers.
The victory, of course, was gratifying, but it had nothing to do with the fallen soldiers. Chao Chong retrieved the Baipi knife and hung it back on his back. Seeing the soldiers who had died in battle being carried to the open ground in a line, they walked over and swept their faces one by one.
Although they have only been together for more than a month, they can eat together, sing together, train together, and they were still alive a day ago, but now they are lying here quietly, never to wake up again.
When Chao Gai taught Chao Chong the mantra of the knife technique, he said: "The spine of the knife is wide and thick, and it is loaded with virtue; The blade is sharp, and the killing is ruthless"
Swords have a sharp edge and a wide ridge.
Treat the enemy like a sharp blade, and kill mercilessly; Treat friends as generous as a knife spine, and carry things with virtue.
This is the spirit of the knife, and it is also the quality that a swordsman must have to achieve the realm of the unity of man and sword.
He leaned down, took out a sweat towel in his arms, opened the water hyacinth, moistened it with water, and gently wiped the blood on the faces of those soldiers who died in battle.
Warriors, you should walk refreshingly and cleanly.
The casualties were counted by Yu Hou, and the figures were quickly obtained.
15 people were killed, 26 were slightly wounded, 9 were seriously wounded, and minor injuries were negligible.
100 officers and soldiers were killed in the battle, and more than 100 were lightly wounded and captured. The rest collapsed. Huang Xin was arrested.
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong on Peach Blossom Mountain were surprised to see Huang Xin being defeated so easily on the top of the mountain, but they were also full of happiness, fortunately, they asked for help from Erlong Mountain in time!
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong took the big and small minions, carried the wine, and took the melons and fruits to eat the meat, and went down the mountain to reward the people of Erlongshan.
At the bottom of the mountain, everyone was busy, and no one cared about them. Thunder, Dongfang Xiao, Luda, and Yang Zhi were all commanding soldiers to clean up the battlefield, and they didn't even let go of the boots of those officers and soldiers.
Cao Zheng and Chao Sheng are treating soldiers.
Chao Chong wiped the blood on the faces of the dead soldiers, and then bandaged the wounded soldiers.
Li Kui is the only one, with nothing to do, standing tall and proud, and this battle is really happy.
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong approached, thinking that Li Kui was the big leader of Erlong Mountain, so they hurriedly came over and saluted: "Li Zhong, the owner of the Peach Blossom Cottage, this is my second brother Zhou Tong, the little overlord, thank you for the heroes of Erlong Mountain, I am grateful, grateful!" ”
Li Kui was not polite, crossed his waist and said: "These local chickens and dogs can also force you to jump over the wall, so incompetent, you dare to call yourself a tiger general, little overlord?" Do you know what grandpa's name is? ”
In the face of Li Kui's fierce momentum, coupled with the record of defeating the official army just now, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong did not dare to be presumptuous, so they could only smile and say: "I am lonely and unheard, and I only have an old relationship with Lu Ti on Guishan, but I don't know the name and surname of a good man?" Didn't ask? ”
It's okay not to mention Ruda, as soon as Ruda is mentioned, Li Kui will be angry! This monk's martial arts are better than himself, his strength is greater than his own, and he is also valued by Chao Boss, and he was beaten by him several times in martial arts competitions, and his nose and face were swollen, and he was afraid that the revenge of scolding himself as a "" would not be repaid for a lifetime.
So Li Kui stepped forward, glared at Li Zhong with big bull's eyes, and roared like thunder: "Bastard! You only know the name of the monk, but you don't know me! Don't you take me seriously? ”
Li Zhong, Zhou Tong and the little minions behind them took three steps back in a row in shock, and secretly scolded: This person is sick, how can anyone reach out to hit the smiling person! But he didn't dare to refute it.
Lu Zhishen was cleaning the battlefield, glanced at Li Kui and said, "Tie Niu, the Sprinkle family is not far away, but I heard it!" Do you have any grievances? ”
Li Kui immediately smiled and said, "The great monk's ears are so sharp!" I just think it's so glorious to be on par with you. It's really annoying that these two goods don't cooperate. ”
Li Kui believes that heroes don't suffer immediate losses, knowing that they can't beat Luda, they are still strong, this is not his style.
As soon as Li Zhong and Zhou Tong heard this conversation, Li Kui seemed to have a status not as high as Luda, so he was definitely not the master of the village, so he hurriedly abandoned Li Kui, went to Luda's side to say hello, and asked for the introduction of the master of Erlongshan Village.
Luda brought the two of them to Chao Chong's side and arched his hand: "Big leader, Erlongshan Li Zhong and Zhou Tong ask to meet!" ”
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong arrived, but Chao Chong didn't even raise his head. At this time, he was bandaging the wound of a wounded, and the strip of cloth that could be used to bandage the wound was not enough, so he tore the hem of his clothes vigorously, tore off a strip, and carefully wrapped the wounded wound.
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong were hung there, a little embarrassed. Seeing Chao Chong tearing his clothes, Luda hurriedly tore two of his monk's robes and handed them over and said, "Big boss, use mine." ”
Chao Chong smiled and nodded, took the strip of cloth, and continued to bandage the next wounded.
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong saw that such a young boy turned out to be the big leader of the thieves' den in Erlong Mountain, and seeing that Naruda seemed to have a lot of respect for him, the dissatisfaction with being neglected gradually subsided, and they said tentatively: "Li Zhong and Zhou Tong of Peach Blossom Mountain have seen the big leader!" ”
Chao Chong still didn't even raise his head, and said casually: "Wait a minute, there are still a few people, wait until I finish bandaging them." ”
Although Li Zhong, the tiger general, feels despised by him, he is used to the rivers and lakes, and he is often like this when he performs, and he is used to it. The little overlord Zhou Tong was a little resentful, and muttered: "What are these minions afraid of a little injury, why should our leader despise himself so much." ”
When the wounded heard this, they were immediately annoyed and looked at Zhou Tong, who was complaining.
Li Kui, who rushed over to see the excitement, heard Zhou Tong's words, and said angrily: "What do you say about my boss? ”
Seeing this, Li Zhong hurriedly pleaded guilty and said: "My brother's unintentional words have no intention of offending the big boss!" ”
Chao Chong laughed, stood up from the ground, pointed at the wounded soldiers, and said, "You say they're just minions? I don't see it that way. In my opinion, they are warriors who dare to fight hard, warriors who dare to sacrifice, and my Chao Chong's brothers. So, I don't think it's any shame to bandage their wounds. Leader Zhou, what do you say? ”
Hearing this, Luda, who had been in the army, was deeply touched and was silent.
The wounded soldiers burst into tears and covered their eyes with their hands.
The soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield were also excited, and there seemed to be a fire in their chests, ready to erupt.
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong were ashamed, but the minions of Peach Blossom Mountain behind him showed yearning on their faces. If you can follow a leader like Erlongshan, even if you die in battle, it will not be in vain.
After bandaging the last few people, Thunder and they have already cleaned up the battlefield. Come here and ask for help. Lei Ting said: "Big brother, we collected 120 spears, 30 steel knives, 500 arrows, 12 broken war bows, 6 sets of leather armor, 1 set of iron armor, and more than 200 pairs of boots. Grain 50 stone. ”
Cao Zheng also said: "Lord, 1 captured general, more than 100 officers and soldiers, how to deal with it!" ”
Li Kui shouted: "What else? Is it a waste of food? How good is it to kill all the memorial brothers? ”
Yang Zhi shook his head and said, "Since ancient times, killing prisoners has been ominous. ”
Dongfang Xiao also said: "Indiscriminately killing people who have no resistance is not bravery, but the beginning of turning into a beast!" ”
Li Kui was dissatisfied: "I have become a wicked person? Is there no revenge for the death of a brother in battle? ”
Zhen Sanshan Huang Xin and those captured officers and soldiers were very nervous when they heard the argument about dealing with them, this is a matter of life and death, if the big leader is really ruthless, and he killed everyone for revenge, wouldn't it be wronged!
Chao Chong raised his hand to stop them from arguing, "We have come from afar, and it is not suitable for us to carry so many prisoners. So these people can't stay. ”
As soon as they heard this, the captured officers and soldiers immediately rioted, but unfortunately they had no weapons and their hands were tied behind their backs.
Zhen Sanshan Huang Xin also said urgently: "This big leader, you also call yourself a hero, don't kill innocents indiscriminately, if you want to kill, please kill me and let my brothers go!" ”
Chao Chong snorted coldly and said, "There are no rules, give me a palm!" ”
The thunder closest to Huang Xin was a mouth, and Huang Xin's two teeth were knocked out, and his whole mouth was swollen.
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong originally wanted to suggest that Chao Chong kill Huang Xin and avenge the siege of the mountain, but seeing the consequences of Huang Xin's casual intervention, they wisely chose to shut up and bow their heads.
Chao Chong said: "On the battlefield, the soldiers are their own masters, obey orders, and there is only the enemy in front of them. Killing, or being killed, can only complain about poor martial arts and insufficient training. I have always said that sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime, and this is what I mean. Therefore, these captured officers and soldiers have no personal grudges with us. I don't want to kill them. ”
Li Kui said: "Then what should I do? ”
Chao Chong said: "Although there is no personal grudge, there is a public vendetta." Take these captives to the corpses of the fallen warriors, kowtow three times, and let them go. ”
Fifteen Erlongshan soldiers who died in battle were lined up. Chao Chong first led the generals and soldiers of Erlong Mountain to line up, stood in the front row and said loudly: "Those who sacrifice their lives and forget the dead, and those who are like-minded with me Chao Chong can be called my brothers." In today's battle, my brothers of Erlongshan showed bravery, and each participant was rewarded with 1,000 Wen, and those who killed an enemy were rewarded with another 1,000 Wen. ”
Cao Zheng and Chao Sheng stepped out of the column and arched their hands: "Take the order!" ”
The soldiers in the formation were not allowed to make loud noises because of the constraints of discipline, but they also buzzed slightly when they heard the news.
Chao Chong continued: "We are poor in Erlongshan, and we have never given money to our brothers. This is the first battle of Erlongshan, and this reward will be used as a template for future combat rewards. Bear witness to what I say today. ”
Then Chao Chong changed the subject, pointed to the corpses of the 15 war dead lying on the ground, and said: "Victory belongs to us, but some brothers do not enjoy this joy. These brothers who used to eat together, sing together, train together, and brag with us sleep here forever. I can't give them wealth, so I can only give them glory! Let those former enemies come and kowtow to our warriors three times, and the ritual begins! ”
Fifteen officers and military prisoners were pushed out, knelt on the ground, and after kowtowing three times, Chao Chong signaled, and Li Kui shouted: "Release!" ”
The spearmen stepped forward and cut the ropes that bound the captives' hands, pushed them out, and said, "Get out!" ”
People die greatly, and those officers and soldiers don't feel that there is any shame in bowing down to the dead, and it is better than anything else to be able to live a life. Got permission and fled in a hurry.
Fifteen more officers and prisoners were then pushed out. Same procedure. As Li Kui shouted: "Release", their hearts were relieved, and they finally didn't have to die.
The next procedures were very smooth, and there were no tough guys in those officers and soldiers who swore to kneel, and after the rows came out to bow down, the rows were released.
The Erlongshan spearmen who lined up to watch were all straight, although it was not them who knelt down to worship those officers and prisoners, but their hearts were also full of glory.
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong were dumbfounded, what else can they do like this? Are these still those wolf-like officers and soldiers? Is it still those officers and soldiers who beat their own and hide from trouble behind closed doors?
The minions on Peach Blossom Mountain are full of envy, they can fight the officials and soldiers like this, it really deserves to be Erlong Mountain!
After the last town Sanshan Huang Xin kowtowed, he said to Chao Chong: "Although you and I are opposed, we have to say that you don't kill innocents indiscriminately, you are a good man!" ”
Chao Chong snorted: "Don't think that if you say two good words, I will let you go." Other people can put it, but you can't! Be a captive and atone for your sins. Hold on! ”
Huang Xin is also tough, he expected that he would not be let go easily, but he didn't beg for mercy.
Chao Chong saw Huang Xin being dragged away, and shouted: "Salute the warriors who died in battle!" ”
Li Kui shouted with a long voice next to him; "Salute !!"
"Boast! Handsome! "In a uniform movement, two spearmen, a team of archers, all standing upright, holding weapons in their left hands and fists in their right hands, clapping them on the heart.
The long body stands upright, representing the dignity of the soldier and never giving in;
Holding a weapon in the left hand means that the soldier does not leave his body and is always vigilant;
The right hand is clenched into a fist and clapped on the heart, representing the sacrifice of one's loyalty.
Chao Chong waved his hand and shouted: "The Heroic Spirit is not far away, go all the way!" ”
The crowd shouted:
"The Heroic Spirit is not far away, go all the way!"
"The Heroic Spirit is not far away, go all the way!"
"The Heroic Spirit is not far away, go all the way!"
The loud voice seemed to pierce the sky and pierce the hearts of some people, and the eyes of some of the soldiers in the queue were moist.
At this point, the worship ceremony is officially over.
Chao Chong ordered those soldiers who died in battle to be reined in and brought back to Erlong Mountain for burial, not to mention it for the time being.
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong saw that Chao Chong had finished handling the matter, so they stepped forward and said, "Big leader, we have prepared some items to reward the soldiers of Guishan, please smile!" ”
Chao Chong took a good look at Li Zhonghao and Zhou Tong

Chao Chong glanced at Li Zhong and Zhou Tong with a group of minions carrying fine wine, carrying melons and fruits and flesh, smiled coldly, and said, "The two leaders of Taohua Mountain have done it." We went to rest on the mountain. ”
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong stared at each other, and Nuo Nuo said, "This ...... This one...... Cramped ...... on the hill"
Li Zhong and Zhou Tong went down the mountain with wine, melons, fruits, and meat to treat, making it clear that they didn't want the people of Erlongshan to go up the mountain immediately, and wanted to use this thing to send us away, what are you kidding? Chao Chong came here to rescue, but he didn't come to do good deeds!
Then he ordered: "In addition to the scouts who monitor the direction of Qingfeng Village, the whole army enters Taohua Mountain to repair, above." ”
The generals took the order and began to go up the mountain with their own team, Li Zhong and Zhou Tong sweated anxiously and went to ask Luda, but they were also snorted by Luda: "So stingy, no wonder the big boss is angry, you are really self-inflicted!" ”
When I arrived at Peach Blossom Mountain, I arranged for Erlong Mountain to guard the important pass of Peach Blossom Mountain, and the soldiers and horses were repaired for a day.
