When Liu Zhaoji reported to Shi Kefa, Luo Jian could also hear it clearly from the walkie-talkie, but there was a small river between the west gate and the south gate, and the warrior car could not pass, so he could only hold back the idea of rushing over and beating Kong Youde and Geng Jimao.

After the Qing cavalry in front of the West Gate was defeated and retreated, the Qing soldiers under the city were already in chaos, except for some of them who had run into the city, some of them had fled in all directions, and some of them had been taken away by some generals.

Luo Jian waited for more than half an hour, talked to Shi Kefa and others, and saw that the Qing soldiers had gradually retreated, and waited until there were no scattered Qing soldiers entering the city, so Xiao Liu drove into the city and greeted Yibang before closing the city gate.

When I came to the city tower, I saw that Shi Kefa and others had arrived, and took the binoculars to carefully observe the Qing army camp, only to see that the camp tent in the distance had been dismantled, and the Qing soldiers who withdrew behind were also busy working, obviously trying to pull out the camp and leave.

I wanted to go out of the city again and send off the Qing soldiers with bullets, but I saw that Liu Zhaoji and the others were exhausted, and I felt very tired after fighting several battles in a row from morning to now, so I thought about it.

Liu Zhaoji arranged for a dozen experienced scouts to go out of the city and prepare to follow the Qing soldiers to see where Duoduo had withdrawn.

Luo Jian thought that the battle at the South Gate was fierce just now, and the casualties among the soldiers were very large, so he discussed with Shi Kefa and the others, and prepared to go over and have a look. Shi Kefa and the others nodded in response, Luo Jian and the others got in the car, followed by a group of civilian officials and military generals on horseback and went to the south gate.

As soon as he got out of the car, Luo Jian heard a fierce quarrel, walked to the city wall and took a closer look, and saw that Zhuang Zigu, who was covered in blood, was pointing at Li Qifeng and scolding his mother, Li Qifeng was not to be outdone, and the two quarreled happily.

Zhuang Zigu was followed by a group of soldiers who were also covered in blood, one by one glaring at Li Qifeng, Li Qifeng was only followed by a few personal soldiers, and many of the large group of Gansu soldiers had a look of shame on their faces, and did not come up to help their general soldiers.

"What a system! Both of them are generals with troops, why are they arguing here? Shi Kefa stepped forward and reprimanded loudly.

Seeing that Shi Kefa was coming, the two stopped arguing, and Shi Kefa pointed to Zhuang Zigu and asked, "What is the quarrel?" ”

"This guy is too bad, when the Qing soldiers attacked the city the tightest before, none of their reinforcements arrived, and after Liu Zongbing led people to repel the Qing soldiers, he brought people again, saying that he was here to reinforce, and he had to come up to cut the heads of the Qing soldiers, saying that he wanted to calculate military merits." Zhuangzi said indignantly to Shi Kefa.

"I didn't receive an urgent letter, why did I come for reinforcements?" Li Qifeng was still not convinced.

"I have sent three people to report to you urgently, why can't I receive an urgent letter?" Zhuangzi was so angry that he couldn't wait to raise his knife and step forward to fight with Li Qifeng, but when he saw Shi Kefa standing in front of him, he could only hold back.

"Where are the three messengers?" Shi Kefa asked.

"I have seen the overseer, and the three little ones are the messengers who tell the news. The three of them did not see Li Zongbing, and when they went to look for him, they were stopped by his own soldiers, saying that Zongbing was sleeping and should not be disturbed. The three soldiers came to Shi Kefa and knelt down on one leg and clasped their fists with their hands and said.

When Shi Kefa heard this, he was about to reprimand Li Qifeng, when Luo Jian stepped forward and whispered a few words to him. When Shi Kefa heard this, he said coldly to Li Qifeng: "Bring your men back." "Ignore him anymore.

Li Qifeng came up and wanted to say something, but when he saw Shi Kefa's disgusted eyes, he held back his words again, turned around and led people away.

Everyone walked up to the city wall, but the city wall was still in shambles, and they had not had time to clean the battlefield. Luo Jian had heard of the cruelty of cold weapon combat, but he didn't expect it to be such a scene.

Liu Weimin, who followed behind, had already rushed down the city wall and ran to the corner of the wall and vomited, Luo Jian only felt that his stomach was overturned, and he almost vomited it on the spot, and hurriedly took out a cigarette and lit it, which felt slightly better.

In the Ming Dynasty, tobacco had flowed from Macao since Jiajing, and some people in Gansu, Shaanxi and other places had begun to plant, but Shi Kefa and others had never seen it in the south, and when they saw Luo Jian smoking, they all looked at him curiously. Luo Jian sneered: "This is not a good habit, don't learn it." ”

Liu Zhaoji was busy looking for someone to clean up the battlefield, and when the corpses of the Qing soldiers in the city were withdrawn, they were not transported, and they also needed to be sent to take them away and bury them.

Luo Jian said to Shi Kefa: "Can you find someone to write down the names and places of origin of the Ming soldiers who died in battle, and in the future, we will set up a monument to commemorate them, and if there are family members, we must also arrange bereavement pensions." ”

Before Shi Kefa could speak, a man who looked like a civil official stepped forward and said: "It is natural for a soldier to sacrifice his life for the imperial court, there are regulations on how to compensate the imperial court, and the warriors are lowly, how can they be worthy of erecting a monument to commemorate them?" This sentence suddenly resounded in response to a group of civil officials.

"Who are you?" When Luo Jian heard this, his heart was on fire, he looked at him coldly and asked.

"Xia Guan is the king of Yangzhou." The civil official said, seeing that Luo Jian's face was not good, he lowered his head and retreated to the back.

"It is these so-called lowly soldiers who have protected the people of the city with their lives, protected the city of Yangzhou from the ravages of the Tartars, and protected you officials from continuing to be your officials. If even they don't have the qualifications to erect a monument, who else in this world is qualified? I tell you! If a country, a court, and a soldier have no status, then this country and this court will inevitably perish! Please be kind to our soldiers, and please give them the dignity and respect they deserve! Luo Jian almost roared out these words, pointing to the hands of the corpses of the Ming army all over the ground.

Shi Kefa didn't say anything, he was a little dissatisfied with Luo Jian's words, the noble and martial arts were already ingrained in the minds of Ming officials, and it was not something that Luo Jian could change with a few words.

Liu Zhaoji and the other generals looked at Luo Jian, their eyes showed a look of gratitude, and they seemed to have some kind of expectation. Zhuang Zigu and the soldiers who had just fought desperately had red eyes.

Wang Zecheng quietly pulled Wang Qiang aside, pointed his finger at the sky, and asked quietly, "Do you have a high status of martial artists there?" ”

"Much better than you guys!" Wang Qiang said, with a certain regret in his expression.

"Deputy Chief Soldier Zhuang, where do you place the wounded soldiers? Xiao Wang, put the medicine box on your back, let's take a look. Luo Jian broke the dullness in the field. He turned his head to Shi Kefa and said, "If the superintendent has something, you can go and get busy first." ”

Shi Kefa pondered for a moment, then turned to the other officials and said, "You go first and arrange the surrendered Qing soldiers, and I will go with Luo Angel and them." "There are four or five thousand Qing soldiers who have entered the city against the water, and it will take a lot of effort to arrange the food and lodging of these people.

Zhuang Zigu took Shi Kefa, Luo Jian and others to the wounded barracks, and as soon as they entered the courtyard gate, a sour smell mixed with the smell of Chinese herbs came to their nostrils. Together with the wounded soldiers who were wounded in the first battle outside the city in the morning, all of them were placed here, and more than 200 wounded soldiers were placed in the small courtyard, and even the corridors of the courtyard were full of people, and there were already several medical officers who were treating these wounded soldiers.

"It's too crowded here, and there has to be a bigger place to stay." Luo Jian glanced at it and said.

"The city is already overcrowded, and it's hard to find a vacant room." Another Tongzhiqu in Yangzhou stepped forward and said that he had been present at the unfinished summary meeting last time, but Luo Jian knew him.

"No matter how crowded it is, we can't let the wounded soldiers recuperate in such an environment, the courtyard where I live is too big, so we can't let it out and place the wounded soldiers there." Luo Jian was a little angry.

"Don't dare to work a few angels, the next official will go down to find a way." Qu Congzhi didn't dare to let Luo Jian and them leave their residence, and hurriedly responded.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Wang walked forward with the medical kit on their backs to help the medical officer start treating the wounded soldiers, seeing the wounded soldiers looking at them with grateful eyes one by one, Luo Jian had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

stayed in the wounded barracks until it was almost dark, and Luo Jian and the others got up to leave. Before leaving, Luo Jian asked Wang Qiang to carry twenty boxes of canned braised pork from the car, handed it to Jiang Yunlong, the deputy general in charge of the wounded barracks, and said to him: "We must ensure that all this meat is eaten in the mouths of the wounded soldiers. ”

Shi Kefa and the others saw Xiao Wang moving boxes of cans from the car, their eyes were straight, he came by car just now, and he didn't see so many boxes in the car, and he couldn't put so many boxes in the car. Before, Shi Kefa still thought that Luo Jian was buying people's hearts, but when he saw this scene, this idea was gone.

A few wounded soldiers who were still able to walk stood outside the door and watched all this, silently knelt down towards Luo Jian, and when Luo Jian saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward and helped them up one by one, without speaking, and silently turned around and got into the car.

Putting him down in front of the courtyard where Shi Kefa lived, Luo Jian and the others returned to their courtyard, and the three of them stopped talking along the way, and they all felt as if something was blocking their hearts.

Candles had been lit in the living room, Luo Jian walked past the threshold, looked up, but was so surprised that he couldn't even speak.
