Chapter 152: The First Victory

The gratitude to the generals of Longxi was already within Li Yanzhao's expectations. However, expressing it so bluntly as Tao Heng also surprised Li Yanzhao. However, hearing Tao Heng's words of gratitude, Li Yanzhao still turned around and said: "General Feng's Longxi soldiers fought to the death and created a chance for us to win, which is enough to make us awe-inspired. The soldiers of Longxi who died in battle should be buried alive, how can they be buried with the enemy? This is all due righteousness, and Tao Bairen does not need to thank me. ”

After saying this righteous and awe-inspiring remark to Tao Heng, Li Yanzhao bent down again, screened the Longxi soldiers, and then lifted them to the edge of the pit with the rest of the soldiers beside him. And so on and so forth. Seeing this, Tao Heng also wiped away the tears that were about to overflow from the corners of his eyes, and also got busy with his subordinates.

These Longxi soldiers, who have been in battle for a long time, are not afraid of such tragic scenes. But seeing all the familiar faces in the past, now they are all killed, and there is no lack of sadness on the faces of these generals. However, the proposal to bury their own soldiers was won by the Liangzhou military cavalry for the dead robes, so these Longxi soldiers and generals were all forced to grieve in their hearts and work hard.

Tao Heng was busy for a while, got up and saw that the four hundred or so remnants of Longxi were still standing or sitting in place, but his expression was surprised. They didn't expect that they had given up fighting for something themselves, but someone else came to help them win it, so they all had a sense of unreality in their hearts.

It wasn't until Tao Heng yelled in the pit and ordered them to go to help, that the remnants of the Longxi Army who were sitting or standing in place woke up like a dream, got up and walked to the edge of the pit, ready to help arrange a good home for these dead robes.

The Liangzhou soldiers on the side, seeing that these Longxi soldiers all stood up and walked towards the edge of the pit, suddenly felt nervous, and looked at them with knives in their hands. However, these Longxi soldiers didn't pay attention to them at all, but just walked all the way to the edge of the huge pits, and began to assist the cavalry of the Guangwu Army in carrying the corpses of their robes.

Li Yanzhao was busy, and heard the sound of several people jumping into the pit one after another, he struggled with several subordinates around him, and pushed the body of a Longxi pawn in his hand to the edge of the pit, and turned around to look, but unexpectedly found that the few people who had just jumped into the pit were Song Qing, Liang Siqin, Han Liancheng and several soldiers of the Song Department.

"Brother Song, why are you doing this?" Li Yanzhao couldn't help but sigh and said leisurely. He knew very well that Song Qing, a child of the scholar family, had never liked to do things in person. Not to mention the drudgery of going down into the pit to carry the corpse.

In the past, Song Qing rarely set an example in person. When you are in the camp, you usually tell your subordinates to do anything.

However, Song Qing's situation in the year or so after he was under his command was also gradually changing. Now, even such drudgery no longer shirks, but does it in person, which can't help but make Li Yanzhao feel extremely shocked.

"Hundreds of people will lead their subordinates to do it, how can Song prevaricate?" Song Qing smiled slightly, but the strong smell of blood in the pit stimulated him to laugh a little unnaturally.

When Li Yanzhao heard that Song Qing had confessed his heart, he also nodded slightly, and then said: "Since this is the case, there is Brother Lao Song." This kind of drudgery is really unbearable for ordinary people, and Brother Song is really worthy of being the best among my young children in Liangzhou. ”

Song Qing's expression was uncertain at this time, and the strong bloody aura emitted from the corpse in the pit almost made him stop breathing. He had no choice but to nod to Li Yanzhao, and then bent down, forcibly resisted the discomfort, and began to move the body of Longxi's pawn in the pit.

However, after moving two or three bodies, Song Qing couldn't bear it anymore after all, held his breath, climbed out of the pit in three steps and two steps, and then rushed to the forest dozens of steps away, holding on to the trunk of the tree, and his waist was bent painfully, like a big prawn.

Then, the hundred-man commander of the Guangwu cavalry, the head of Hexi, and Song Qing, the son of the Song family, opened his mouth with a wow, and his stomach turned over the river and the sea, completely ignoring the image.

At first, the group of veterans in the army, who were laughing at the recruits, saw a hundred people also come out of the crowd, ran to the edge of the mountain and forest, and closed their mouths in embarrassment. And the horsemen under Song Qing, seeing the embarrassment of their hundreds of people holding on to the tree, also collectively fell silent, and they felt quite embarrassed that they wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into......

After more than an hour of hard work by Li Yanzhao's subordinates and the remnants of Longxi, the remains of the Longxi soldiers in several huge pits have been moved out and placed densely on the edge of the pits.

As for how to deal with the remains of these Longxi pawns, when they consulted Tao Heng, who is currently the highest-ranking among the disabled strokes in Longxi, and the opinions of the rest of the generals, everyone unanimously decided to dig another pit near Jincheng County, and then bury these former robes collectively.

Li Yanzhao saw that everyone's wishes were like this, so he had to agree. He then went to Han Ning to ask for dozens of carts to be transferred from the camp. Han Ning saw that Li Yanzhao had really done it himself now, and carried all the Longxi soldiers out of the pit to be buried with Zhao Jun, so he had to acquiesce in his behavior.

Subsequently, Li Yanzhao divided half of his subordinates and went to the camp to call carts, and the other half of his subordinates filled in several huge pits where only the remains of Zhao Jun remained. In each of the soldiers, a clever soldier was selected and went to the place where the remains of the Liangzhou soldiers were stacked to identify the remains of the fallen robes in the battalion.

According to Li Yanzhao's idea, these fallen Guangwu cavalry soldiers must return to their homeland with honor, and then be buried near the left side of the Martyrs' Shrine. It also uses this to enhance the sense of honor and belonging of these soldiers for defending their homeland.

The soldiers of the Guangwu Cavalry Battalion were all carrying out their various tasks in an orderly manner under the scheduling arrangements of their respective generals at this time. It didn't take long for the huge pits to be filled, and the dozens of soldiers who had called the carts from the battalion also returned here in a neat formation.

With Li Yanzhao's order, the bodies of the Longxi pawns that were centrally placed were already carried to the cart with the joint efforts of the soldiers. Then the carts headed in the direction of Jincheng County. Outside the county town, the cavalry had already selected a wasteland that was not suitable for farming as a collective cemetery for the Longxi pawns.

Dozens of carts went back and forth several times, and finally these Longxi pawns were transported. On the way to the cemetery, Li Yanzhao instructed several Longxi generals to be sure to write down the names of these Longxi generals who died in battle. When Longxi General Zuo heard this, he was puzzled.

The casualties of the generals in Longxi in this battle were more than 1,500 people, and because they were divided and surrounded by the Zhao army, the dead were far greater than the wounded. There were many seriously injured who died of exhaustion when Li Yanzhao led his troops out of the camp. With such a large number, it is not easy to record their names and so on. Even with the oral memory of these surviving soldiers, there will inevitably be errors and omissions.

This Guangwu cavalry general asked them to do this thankless thing, what was the purpose, it also made them fall into the clouds at this time. However, Li Yanzhao's next words dispelled their doubts about this: "The soldiers who died in Longxi in this battle are all loyal. Li wanted to invite their tablets into the ancestral hall of our county, and there were people to worship them every year. So that the loyal martyrs, under the nine springs, can also smile and star. ”

After hearing this, all the generals of Longxi were moved, and they all said that they would gather their subordinates and try their best to record the names of these righteous men before handing them over to Li Yanzhao.

The work of cleaning up the battlefield is nearing completion, and the joint burial tombs of the Longxi soldiers have also been filled in and erected. The head of Zhao Jun, which was used as a meritorious service, was also stacked centrally. The casualty reports of the various ministries have been counted.

Han Ning looked at the head of the Zhao army piled up into a hill not far away, and yawned again and again and listened to the report of the subordinate general Zuo in front of the ox cart.

"This battle plan beheaded 1,163 Zhao Jun heads, and there were no prisoners. Our army was killed in 281 people. Ninety-six people were seriously wounded, 307 people were lightly wounded, more than 700 guns and halberds, more than 1,000 swords, more than 400 round cards were captured, and the rest of the military resources were not counted. ”

Han Ning looked at the Guangwu cavalry who was still shuttling in front of him, and then put on his robe and body and went in the direction of the north bank, stretched lazily with a lazy expression, and then ordered: "Take the bodies of the fallen soldiers and the wounded, and the whole army will return to the camp!" ”
