Chapter 263: A Significant Victory (2)

Wu Shaogang appeared on the battlefield and did not surprise Cai Siwei and others, they just hurriedly greeted him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The situation on the battlefield is too tragic, the casualties of the soldiers and soldiers in front of the Hezhou Imperial Army are in the process of counting, a large number of corpses are gathered, there are special people responsible for cleaning up, and a large number of white cloths are sent over to wrap the body of each soldier.

Wu Shaogang didn't speak all the time, silently looking at the soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield, most of these soldiers were soldiers of the rear army, they did not participate in this too tragic battle, but their emotions had long been ignited by the brothers who died.

The imperial armies of Hezhou have never suffered such heavy casualties, never before.

Wu Shaogang was only surrounded by a dozen or so guards, and many times he walked to the side of the fallen soldiers, watched silently, and sometimes bent down to sort out the uniforms of these sergeants, and even silently the cold faces of these sergeants.

Wu Shaogang's expression was unusually solemn, with a trace of sadness on his face.

Almost all the soldiers know Wu Shaogang, and to put it mildly, Wu Shaogang is the pillar in the minds of the soldiers of the Hezhou Imperial Army, and the soul of the Hezhou Imperial Army.

Some sergeants gathered around Wu Shaogang to salute, Wu Shaogang also returned the salute to the ordinary sergeants in a proper manner, and Cai Siwei, Chang Mingquan, Zhang Binghui and others around him also returned the salute.

Finally, a sergeant spoke in front of Wu Shaogang, and they begged to go to the city of Bazhou, where there were also Mongolian Tartars who were attacking the state city, after all, this was only a few dozen miles away from the city of Bazhou, if it was quickly opened, that is, in about half a day, they could beat the Mongolian Tartars who were attacking the city.

Wu Shaogang comforted these soldiers lightly and told everyone that there was an opportunity to destroy the Mongol Tatars in the future.

Half an hour later, Wu Shaogang appeared in Cai Siwei's temporary Chinese military tent.

All the officers above the generals of the imperial army in Hezhou were gathered here, and even Hao Jing rushed over.

Wu Shaogang's face no longer had a sad expression.

"Brothers, this time we have won the final victory, and it is also the most important victory, but we have also paid a heavy price, the battle report is still in the process of statistics, I believe it will come out soon, you should understand, why I said this is the price that must be paid, just now a sergeant suggested, we have to fight in one go, kill to the city of Bazhou, but I did not agree, Wuliang Hetai has fled, at this moment, the crisis of the city of Bazhou has been solved, presumably the claws will be evacuated quickly, of course, It's also possible that my judgment is wrong. ”

"This is a disastrous victory of extraordinary significance, from now on, we will not be afraid of the Mongolian iron cavalry, in front of the imperial army of Hezhou, the strong Mongolian iron cavalry is nothing more than this, and we have also been defeated."

"Pay the price, always have to reap a good ending, don't think that defeating the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, even if it is the biggest gain, this is not the greatest result, what I need is a summary of this battle, so that all our soldiers and brothers know that in the next battle, how we should deal with the Mongolian Iron Cavalry, how to achieve the greatest victory with the smallest casualties, only in this way can we be regarded as truly victorious."

"Chang Deputy Du is in charge, Zhang Deputy is in charge, you all directly commanded the battle, face to face with the Mongolian Tatars, your feelings are the deepest, I believe you have a stomach to say, I give you a month, think carefully, summarize the gains and losses of this battle, write it out, you must do your best, what you write out, for us to continue to defeat the Mongolian iron cavalry in the future, minimize casualties, has a great role and significance."

"The scouts have been sent out to investigate the situation in the city of Bazhou, all the soldiers must be prepared, if the Mongol Tartars do not evacuate, then we will kill them, let them know the courage of our Hezhou Imperial Army, so that most of them will never be able to return."

"Brothers need to be vigilant, this battle, we paid too much price, heavy casualties, this has exposed our shortcomings, or weaknesses, this time we are facing only 10,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, we dispatched 30,000 soldiers, with 30,000 against 10,000 people, a complete victory is expected, you must know that the Mongolian iron cavalry once defeated the European cavalry of 280,000 cavalry with 80,000 people, this is the real bravery, what we need to do, is to equal the force, To be able to defeat the Mongol iron cavalry, even in the case of insufficient troops, we can be invincible, only then can we really hold our heads high. ”

"Brothers, we are all soldiers, the sword is ruthless on the battlefield, there will always be casualties, wipe away tears, lift our spirits to avenge the deceased brothers, is what we should think about, I don't want to see any of you cry, and I don't want to see any of you tears."

。。。

After Wu Shaogang finished speaking, everyone was silent.

Soon, footsteps came from outside the Chinese tent.

The herald came in to report it.

"Report, the battlefield is basically cleared."

Everyone's eyes were on the herald, which made the herald a little nervous.

"The front army lost 9,547 killed and seriously wounded 887, the Chinese army lost 763 killed and seriously wounded 130, collected 6,237 corpses of Mongolian cavalry, captured 2,688 Mongolian cavalrymen, captured 8,100 horses, and the grain, grass and money are still in the process of being counted. . . ."

It was even quieter in the tent of the temporary Chinese army.

The imperial army of Hezhou lost 10,310 people in this battle, seriously wounded 1,000 people, and minor injuries will not be counted, so with this casualty, 8,925 Mongolian cavalry were killed and captured alive, you know, this is 30,000 against 10,000.

The 1,000 people who were seriously wounded basically lost their ability to fight.

In this battle alone, the Hezhou Imperial Army lost more than one-eighth of its troops, but they still faced 190,000 Mongolian iron cavalry, which is stronger and which is weaker, and the results of the comparison have come out.

With such an iron bucket attack, more than a thousand Mongol cavalry escaped.

Cai Siwei's face has changed, and the 30,000 rear troops he led are actually responsible for encircling and suppressing the fleeing Mongolian cavalry.

As soon as the herald finished reporting, Cai Siwei clenched his fists and spoke to Wu Shaogang.

"My lord, the Mongolian iron cavalry fled more than 1,000 people, this is a dereliction of duty of the subordinates, and the subordinates are willing to accept the punishment."

Wu Shaogang waved his hand.

"Now is not the time to hold them accountable, don't say these words, the casualties are so large, this is what I didn't expect, the pacification of the fallen soldiers must be in place, not to make their families chill, no matter how much money is spent, must let their families live well, this is related to whether our Hezhou imperial army can survive in the future, Zhang Binghui, Ma Long, you go to screen the prisoners of the Mongolian cavalry, if they can be included in the Hezhou imperial army, try to include them, can not be included in them, Strict detention. ”

Everyone's faces changed.

Hao Jing couldn't help but speak.

"My lord, the Mongol Tatars are strong and uncivilized, is it appropriate to include them in the imperial armies of Hezhou? . . ."

Wu Shaogang shook his head slightly.

"There is nothing inappropriate, Kublai Khan can absorb a large number of new annexed troops, can't I absorb Mongolian cavalry, they used to be Mongolian iron cavalry, once they entered my Hezhou Imperial Army, that is, the soldiers in the army, these people are also ordinary soldiers in Mongolia, and they also obey the orders from above, they can be used by Kublai Khan, and they can also be used by me."

"If they are willing to enter the army in front of the Hezhou Emperor, then we must treat them well, and we must not vent our hatred on their heads, I remind you, your vision, not only limited to Sichuan, you must look to the north, look at the grassland, look at the world, without the grace of accepting all rivers, we cannot go out."

。。。

Everyone finally had a little commotion, you must know that what is concentrated here is the core talent of the Hezhou Imperial Army, whether the Hezhou Imperial Army is brave or not, it depends on the performance of these people.

Wu Shaogang's words are meant for these people, without a broad vision, it is impossible for the imperial army in Hezhou to have a qualitative change.

It was dark, and the surroundings were finally a little quiet, the battlefield was still brightly lit, and there were still many soldiers patrolling.

Many of the sergeants had already rested.

In accordance with the requirements of burial, all the corpses were buried.

The registration process has also been almost completed, and the list of fallen soldiers has been released.

In the Chinese military tent, Wu Shaogang looked at these rosters and did not speak for a long time.

Among the soldiers who died in battle, many of them were former sergeants of the newly attached army, and they had not been in the imperial army of Hezhou for a long time, but they were all fighting to the death on the battlefield, and no one defected.

This is Wu Shaogang's secret, and it is also the proudest place of the Hezhou Imperial Army, whether it is brainwashing or recruitment, the strict military regulations of the Hezhou Imperial Army make all the old qualified sergeants not be qualified in front of the new sergeants, will not discriminate against these sergeants, and the gap between the salaries they get is not very large.

The word democracy doesn't make sense nowadays, but the atmosphere of basic equality in the army has a huge attraction for new sergeants.

The sound of horses' hooves was heard again outside the tent of the Chinese army.

Soon, the scouts came in.

"Report, the Mongolian army besieging the city of Bazhou did not evacuate, and the attack became more fierce in the evening. . . ."

Wu Shaogang's hand trembled, he finally made a mistake in judgment, it seems that his understanding of the Mongols is not very good, it seems that this Mongolian prince is still very characterful.

"Cai Siwei, inform the officers above the capital level to quickly come to the Chinese military tent." (To be continued.) )
