In the entire battlefield, only the corpses of the northern captives and horses have not been cleaned, and of course the heads of the northern captives are to be cut off, and some of the merchant archers who have not yet seen the blood have been forced to do such coolies to exercise their minds, which is of course already the tradition of the inspection department, as long as they are archers, they will inevitably suffer this fate.

The sound of vomiting on the battlefield also came and went, and the officers didn't blame too much, after all, cutting off the head was bloody enough, and the average person's ability to accept it was high and low, and not everyone could calmly take a knife and slash it on the neck of the same kind, and then break the neck bone with blood splashing, and then use the head to take it down.

Besides, the battlefield is too bloody!

The officers were complaining about Tang Wangzong, the director of the artillery bureau, and Wang Changfu also sighed: "I have been a soldier for more than ten years, and I have fought a few times in war, and I have really never seen a second one than the battlefield in front of me." ”

In the face of everyone's accusations, Tang Wangzong could only smile calmly, but the command of the artillery bureau on the right wing just now was a little embarrassed, there were Franc machines, tiger squat cannons, cannons, second general cannons, etc., adding up to dozens of guns, but the power of the fight was far less than the four copper cannons here, and the difference between the two was too far.

The old firearms of the Ming army, only the power of the general's cannon is still over, but it is not a field gun, the frame used is very cumbersome and difficult, and the gun body is fixed, it is inconvenient to adjust the muzzle, it is used to build a fort for attacking the city, and the muzzle is adjusted and the gun body is stabilized by the method of skidding, which is more than one and two points different than the four copper cannons in front of you.

On the battlefield, especially in the place where the left wing artillery crew was just confronted, there were smashed corpses everywhere, compared to the dead bodies cut by the sword, the death of being hit by the artillery was much more ugly and terrifying, the whole chest was broken, the whole person was beaten out of shape, or the whole head was beaten into a rotten watermelon abounded, such a scene is really unbearable for newcomers.

The archers of the merchant group were really retching as they took their waist knives in their hands and cut off their heads.

The head of the North Captives is still valuable, when Altan Khan is making a lot of trouble, a North Captive head is at least ten taels, more than twenty, thirty taels, and now the North Captives are gradually subsiding, and the head is at least five taels to ten taels, this reward is directly issued by the Beijing Division Military Department, and the top will not be deducted, and this income is not small.

The bloody heads gradually gathered together, and the officers kept shouting at the novices to continue, while calling the veterans to start collecting useful items and counting the battlefield captures.

Zhu Dayong took off the six-petal iron helmet, and a lot of sweat flowed out of the iron helmet, his hair was steaming white, and the other soldiers helped him take off the iron armor, which was also a lot of running water, and the stickers made of cotton cloth were soaked.

The soldiers were all the same, each with their armor off and squatting or sitting panting.

Zhu Dayong didn't have too much joy on his face, more than half of today's soldiers are his subordinates, and they are trained according to the cavalry, and the pure soldiers of each division are not used too much, after all, the war team is just a large array of guerrilla and supplements, used to fight with the enemy's dead soldiers, today the Mongols did not send infantry at all, of course, they can't talk about fighting with sharp soldiers and dead soldiers, just chasing and slashing the enemy.

The battlefield was chaotic, and although the soldiers killed many enemies at first, they marched forward in great stride, and the pikemen and birdmen killed the enemy far above the soldiers.

After all, the armor of the soldiers is too heavy and it is difficult to move.

Zhu Dayong felt that he was not playing a big role, and he was a little depressed in his heart.

Zhu Dayong said to his assistant Li Xuan: "If we fight on horseback today, the beheading will be at least hundreds more. ”

Li Xuan pulled the sand red horse, stroked the horse's neck lovingly, calmed the horse's emotions, and said casually: "There are not many war horses, and the cavalry's physical fitness and technical and tactical training are not bad, but the method of riding and fighting has not yet taken shape, and this time the arrangement above is not wrong." ”

"That's right." Zhu Dayong exhaled a breath of turbidity and said: "The truth is not wrong, I still feel bad in my heart." ”

"Our cavalry has been taken care of a lot." Li Xuan said with a smile: "This time the merchant group is also going to be regularized, except for a few people who have retired as local escort merchants, most of them with battlefield experience have become official archers, and they are also like us, fighting for a living." There are thousands of demobilized personnel this time, and as I said, let's do our cavalry first, but you are depressed first, why bother. ”

"That's right." Zhu Dayong finally had a smile on his face.

Cavalry is definitely the type of arm that Zhang Han pays the most attention to in recent times, even above artillery.

"How many decapitations?" Wang Changfu looked at several military and political personnel who were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield, and asked.

Before dark, the battlefield was finally cleaned, and all the horses were put together, as well as the stripped armor of the northern captives, all kinds of weapons, whether intact or damaged, all kinds of miscellaneous items, and so on.

Wang Changfu and Liang Xing sat in a row of military attachés at the general level, waiting to hear the report.

Tang Ma was already standing on the side, and the secretary of the Attendant Division was waiting for the record, and then handed over a copy to Tang Ma, who would send it to Xinping Fort as quickly as possible and in a special hurry.

As for the northern captives besieging Xinpingbao, you don't have to think about it to know their movements, and you can either run away or be killed by the border troops who rushed over.

"Behead seven hundred and fifty-seven levels." The person from the Military and Political Department said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "There are some heads that are completely broken and cannot be calculated, and the imperial court will not admit it." ”

"Hmph." Wang Changfu snorted coldly and said, "When do we need the recognition of the imperial court!" ”

Liang Xing said with a smile on the side: "What kind of temper are you playing with the people of the Military and Political Department, this time you are not going to exchange the merit for the first rank to promote the adult." ”

Speaking of Zhang Han's promotion, Liang Xing's tone was also very casual, on Li Zhuang's side, the official position of the imperial court was nothing.

It's also a subtle change, and everyone is pretty much the same.

"I'm not very happy." Wang Changfu said: "The mother of the North is too poor, except for these horses, there is nothing decent to capture!" ”

Wang Changfu's unhappy place turned out to be here, for more than half a year, he has been leading people to fight bandits on the East Road, and at least tens of thousands of gold and silver have been raised from a stockade, and the battlefield in front of him is in front of him, and it can be clearly seen that there is nothing to turn over from the Beiyu, those rotten armor and weapons are not valuable, and the armor will be repaired and sent to the escort team, and the same is true for weapons, and the archers will not use these rotten goods.

"Horses are also good things, a war horse is at least six taels of silver." Liang Xing comforted Wang Changfu, and then said: "If the northern captives are not poor and want to die, where will they have the guts to Koubian." ”

Liang Xing said to the Minister of Military Affairs: "How many war horses have been captured, and what are the casualties on our side?" ”

"There are more than 300 prisoners, the details have not been counted, there will be no more than 400, there are more than 600 war horses, there are many dead war horses, and people have been asked to clean up, these days to give everyone a tooth sacrifice, our army has 34 soldiers killed in battle, 51 people are seriously injured, less than 100 people are lightly injured, most of them are scratches and arrow wounds, and they will be fine after cleaning and bandaging."

There are already dozens of military doctors here in Lizhuang, most of them are famous doctors from orthopedics and trauma departments collected from all over the world, although due to the medical achievements of this era, and the absence of antibiotics, the mortality rate is certainly not low, but compared with the rest of the contemporaneous armies, even compared to the European army, the survival rate of seriously wounded soldiers is already very high.

"Alas," Wang Changfu said: "The war horse is not worth 10,000 taels of silver at most, and the other gains are limited, the emergency mobilization fee of our army is 30,000 taels, and 34 brothers were killed in the battle, which is really a big loss." ”

"Hmph, those guys from the Chamber of Commerce, when they heard that the North Captives were going to disrupt the trade routes, they were all angry." Li Zhiye came over to Lingqiu, and he said: "As soon as I heard that we fought the northern captives, Ma Huaxian, Li Dayong, one by one, the cost of the merchant group was paid from the Chamber of Commerce, and they would also comfort the soldiers and compensate the Lingqiu archers who died in battle, and they would do these things in the Chamber of Commerce." ”

Li Laibin also said: "It's the same with Tianchengwei, as soon as I heard that Beiyu was here to rob us of our property and disrupt the business road, even Jiang Dalin and Zhang Yanhong were anxious...... There are a lot of businessmen like them, and cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, these people hate the vegetarian bag and the cloth bag, and they contribute money and efforts to compensate the dead and seriously injured soldiers, and it is also their duty to become a prisoner of commerce. ”

Liang Xing smiled and praised: "Our proprietor has never been in a hurry to kill everything, which always makes people feel a little unhappy." Now I feel the wonders and benefits, these people who were going to squeeze have no way out, except for making them bankrupt, we have no more benefits, on the contrary, there are only countless enemies who hate us, and leaving them in the first line, joining the Chamber of Commerce, is the joint efforts of everyone, and now the entire northern Jin, except for Datong, Ningwu and the area, has been in the hands of various chambers of commerce, and the wisdom of our proprietor's strategy is much stronger than those governors and governors. ”

This was agreed by everyone, as the highest-level officer, the generals present have understood that war is not necessarily just a competition between pure force, there are many things outside the battlefield, the current morale of the army and the army's ability to do war is not for nothing, not to mention anything else, the post-war pension and many honors will greatly boost morale, a large-scale battle of more than 10,000 people, a total of more than 30 archers killed, the proportion of casualties is already very low, This also makes many hesitant people make up their minds to join this well-paid and honorable group. Compared with the bitter beggar soldiers of the border army, it is really worthwhile to become an archer of the inspection department.

"I can solve Han Qi this time." Liang Xing knows more than ordinary generals, after all, he has a very close relationship with Yang Qiu, but Yang Qiu does not reveal a lot, only the intelligence involving outsiders and military intelligence will be more or less revealed, this war is not only related to the grassland trade routes, but also related to sweeping Han Qi out of the house, in any case, everyone has been aggrieved enough in the shadow of Han Qi as the governor for more than half a year.

"I don't know when we adults will really become the masters of one side." After sighing with emotion, this thought popped up in Liang Xing's mind again, he was startled, seeing that the partners next to him were laughing happily, Liang Xing's heart swelled with a sense of pride and boundless power, and the thought just now not only did not disappear, but became clearer.
