The last rays of the sunset took away the last trace of warmth on the battlefield, and the sky and the earth gradually became vast, and everyone deeply felt the atmosphere of death.

Victorious, this battle Huolin army defeated the Yan army, and wiped it out, only less than 800 people survived, this is still Zhao Xun opened his mouth to keep prisoners, otherwise, the result will be that the Yan army has no survivors.

The logistics personnel sent out by the Huolin Army are collecting the bodies of those killed on both sides. The soldiers of the other side who died in the battle, piled up together, waiting to be dealt with, if they are still alive, they will give the other party a knife, which can be regarded as killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions, and sometimes, when they meet their own soldiers, if they find that the other party is seriously injured, they will also give him a knife, but it is to help him get rid of it.

Only those soldiers with minor injuries can be carried out of the battlefield, and such people are often very few. These people who came out to clean up the battlefield are the most indifferent people in the army, whether it is the other party's people or their own people, in their eyes, they are just a lowly life.

The surviving soldiers stood in their own ranks, bandaging each other's wounds, silent. Some people are looking at the loot, and some people are looking at the relics of their comrades who died in battle, and everyone's face is basically the same, that is, silence. No one likes to talk, and no one wants to talk at this time.

Winter nights are quiet and cold.

After occupying the camp of the Titan Army, the soldiers on the battlefield began to rush to the camp of the Commander Army, where they would rest and wait for new orders.

The whole camp was full of torches, the torches were burning quietly, but the light seemed rather dim, as if it could only illuminate a small area around it. The warriors didn't care about the strength of the fire, the fatigue and pain brought by the battle, even the brightest light of the fire, could not illuminate their hearts. As the patrol passed, the torches burned in the cold wind and crackled, as if someone's heart was beating irregularly.

The living, either pensive or asleep, are lucky because they survived. Some of the recruits were weeping quietly, using tears to relieve the remaining fears and insecurities, and before their eyes, the tragic scene of the day still appeared from time to time, as if it would never disappear, and that scene, every moment of breaking, seemed to be tearing their hearts.

The injured person either endures the pain silently, or quietly falls asleep after taking the medicine. Some of them will never wake up from a deep sleep. In this era, the medical technology has not yet reached the point of resurrection, and there is not even the most basic medicine to prevent and treat infection.

For the wounded, no one knows whether their wounds will suddenly worsen. Many people say that in the army, the most unfortunate thing is not the dead, but the wounded.

The dead are either still lying quietly on the cold ground, waiting for the opportunity to be cremated, or they have turned into ashes and rushed into the sky with the cold wind. Most of the dead were to be cremated, and only a very small number of important people were killed.

The body will be returned to their families. Coffins, on the battlefield, are very extravagant, and even very important characters can only be wrapped in thick linen cloth for the time being.

Zhao Xun took Han Meng and the soldiers of the personal guard camp and quietly patrolled the barracks. The barracks were quiet and neat, with simple tents keeping the cold wind out. The sentinels stood in the cold wind, their armor condensed with frost, and the hot breath they exhaled quickly turned into white mist. The torches swayed in the cold wind and seemed to go out at any moment, so in order to prevent fires, it was strictly forbidden to light a fire in the tent after resting at night. Of course, most of the warriors are used to life in the dark.

Seeing Zhao Xun's arrival, the soldiers were very excited, especially those newly recruited soldiers, who could completely annihilate the Yan Ya army in one fell swoop, so that they could completely get rid of the panic and fear of the Yan army, and let them realize that it turned out that the army of the Yan people was nothing more than this, and they would also be defeated, afraid, and fleeing...... Although, this battle is a battle with more wins and fewer ......

When the battle is over, it is always necessary to sum up the achievements and the problems and gains in the war. The heavy cavalry battalion belonging to the heavy armored battalion, which was belatedly moving south from the north, went south to Le'an County yesterday in case anything happened to Le'an County. After all, Majiazhuang on the southwest side of Le'an County still has a thousand army and a thousand servant army, although the servant army has sent people to secretly contact, but the thousand army should not be underestimated.

According to statistics after the war, in yesterday's battle, more than 6,000 soldiers of the Yan Army were killed by the Huolin soldiers except for nearly 1,000 prisoners before and after. The loss of more than 1,000 people on their own side was mostly Zuofu sergeants, after all, there were many recruits among them, and it was difficult to accept it for a while in the face of a bloody war, and many recruits died on the battlefield in this way.

Subsequently, Zhao Xun withdrew the non-commissioned officers from the pro-guard battalion before the war, and immediately announced the formal adjustment of the officer system of each battalion of the Zuofu Army, and rearranged the officers of each battalion of the Zuofu Army.

Similarly, some brave soldiers also served as adjutants, that is, adjutants. The reason for the establishment of adjutant officers is that in wartime, when officers are killed, there can be replacement officers, so that the team will not collapse; Second, it is also to train new officers for the Huolin Army, once the Yingzhou capital or other places are recovered, the size of the army will inevitably increase, which will lead to the shortage of basic officers.

For the 1,000 prisoners of the Devil Army, it was still disposed of as before, excluding the orthodox Warriors, more than half of the rest of the races survived, and 500 were selected to join the Red Wolf Battalion, and the Red Wolf Battalion soldiers were also expanded to 2,500 people. Perhaps this method of selecting people by killing people is a bit bloody and brutal, but the entire Huolin Army agrees with this, even the soldiers of the Red Wolf Battalion.

Zhao Xun naturally didn't feel the cruelty of the means, thinking about the people of Yan Country they killed, and thinking about the harm they caused to the people of Yan Kingdom...... In addition to forcing them to land on them by killing the Tatar people, so that they had no room for regret, Zhao Xun also used a series of means to make them slowly assimilate to the Han people. For example, when it comes to sinicization, for example, let them settle down in Yan Country and treat them with the treatment of the second only Huolin Army...... Make them unconsciously feel that they are the Han army, not the Yan army.

Of course, some soldiers were rewarded, while others were punished. In the face of blood and butcher knives, not everyone has the courage to take up arms and resist. Those who are not brave, cowering, greedy for life and afraid of death, ignoring military orders, disobeying yin and yin, and being weird in yin and yang, are all told that they can get out, and if they are veterans, then they will be punished as they deserve. As for those recruits, Zhao Xun gave them a chance, and on this cold winter night, they could choose to leave or choose to stay.

Zhao Xun's only requirement for these remaining recruits was to follow orders in the future, otherwise, what awaited them would be the consequences of being strict. No one doubted Zhao Xun's words, so someone packed up their things and left silently, and the barracks continued to be quiet.

The winter sun always rises late, bringing a touch of warmth to the cold earth. Unlike ordinary soldiers, Zhao Xun and the others were busy for most of the night before resting, and on the day the sun rose, Zhao Xun woke up.

Wiping his face with cold water, Zhao Xun said to himself, "En...... It's been a long time since I've slept in......"

When I came to the big tent of the Chinese army, the captains of the Zuofu Army, the cavalry battalion, the Nufeng battalion in the south, and the Red Wolf battalion gathered together. Zhao Xun entered from the back tent and heard everyone's happy discussions.

Seeing Zhao Xun come in, everyone got up and saluted, "I've seen my lord!" ”

"Sit down and talk! Look, you're glad to hear it! ”

Duan Yan, the captain of the Xinzi Battalion, said with a smile: "This battle has taught the Yan army a hard lesson, and it has won a complete victory, how can you not be happy, my lord's plan is really a god, the eight thousand Jin Yan army is all gone, and thousands of people in Le'an County have also been swept away by us." The road to the south of Yingzhou Capital has been completely opened, and going south is no longer a problem! My lord, are you starting to go south to capture the Yingzhou capital? Believe in the word camp to be a pioneer! ”

Zhao Lin, the captain of the Gangzi Battalion, said urgently: "This time, our Gangzi Battalion is a pioneer!" We have the most veterans of the Gangzi Battalion ......"

"Hey...... Guzi Camp is a pioneer! If you want to say that we are running thousands of miles, our solid word camp is a veteran, this time it has to be my solid word camp, and it can't be ......."

Looking at the several people arguing, Zhao Xun shook his head, and Zhao Xun was naturally very happy about the belligerence of his subordinates. For the south to Yingzhou Capital, he plans to go out several ways, capture the remaining four counties by blitzkrieg, and finally gather in Yingzhou City, the capital of Yingzhou.

There was no argument about the southward vanguard, because they were foot soldiers, and it was okay to be the Chinese army, but if they were to be the vanguard and attack, it would never be possible at that time. But the Zuofu army also knew that the cavalry battalion was the vanguard in this attack on Yingzhoufu, but they were the main force.

"How is the heavy cavalry battalion doing now?" Zhao Xun asked.

Han Meng, the captain of the guard battalion, replied: "Don't worry, your lordship, yesterday evening, the heavy cavalry battalion has arrived in Le'an County, and now there are no more problems in Le'an County. ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "That's good, although we defeat the Yan Ya army outside of Yanshan Fort, Le'an County can't be lost, this is the lifeblood of our southward journey." ”

"Xu Qingyang!"

"The subordinates are here!" Xu Qingyang, the person in charge of the Blood Shadow Guard in the north of Yingzhou Mansion, bowed down and replied.

Zhao Xun said with a smile: "In the first battle of Le'an County, your Blood Shadow Guard's contribution is not small, and you can take Le'an County smoothly, so that the great victory in this battle, your Blood Shadow Guard's credit cannot be erased." It can be said that the key to this battle, or the key to victory or defeat, is decided by you. So, you should take a great credit, and as for the reward, I will send it to the Blood Shadow Guard and your home. As for the fallen Blood Shadow Guards, they will also be given double pensions. ”

Xu Qingyang said in a loud voice: "The subordinates don't dare to make such a great achievement, in this battle, the Blood Shadow Guard is just a gesture, and the soldiers of the battalions are the real ones who have great merit." ”

Zhao Xun smiled: "They have their rewards, but your merits cannot be erased." ”

Xu Qingyang said excitedly: "Lord Xie! He knew that the Shadow Guard and the Blood Shadow Guard had never been liked by the officials of the Fire Lin Army, especially those who managed logistics and some civilian officials. Because, there are already quite a few officials who have fallen into the hands of the Shadow Guard and the Blood Shadow Guard, although most of them are officials from the Yuanyan Prefecture Mansion, but the officials who have been newly incorporated into the Huolin Army system do not want an invisible shadow to stare at them around them. Now, Zhao Xun has affirmed their merits, which means that they still have a status in Zhao Xun's eyes, and others can't kick down the status.

"Xu Qingyang, our army is about to move south, and the task of liaising with the servant army of the southern counties will be entrusted to you, and I will try my best to win them over, so that we can speed up the occupation of the Yingzhou capital. By the way, it is said that there are still 4,000 war horses in Majiazhuang in the southwest of Le'an County, and it is a wonderful thing to take them out as much as possible and use the enemy's materials to fight the enemy. ”

Xu Qingyang said affirmatively: "Don't worry, my lords, we will definitely work with you to take down Majiazhuang and take out the war horses inside." ”

Zhao Xun said: "Yesterday we fought with the Yan Army, and some merchants have seen it, in other words, the Tan Ma of the Yan Army has already known, maybe the Yan Army in the south has been prepared, so we must do our best to take the target we want to capture before the Yan Army is fully prepared." Therefore, our plan is to divide our troops and attack, go out on the same four roads, and finally converge under Yingzhou City to capture the last territory of Yingzhou Capital, Yingzhou City! ”
