Chapter 352: Returning to the City in Victory

Shi Kefa led a group of people to Dongcheng along the city wall, and did not walk down the city directly along the horse road, but stood on the city wall to watch the Daishan army enter the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Standing on the city wall and looking out, you can see that the canal winds around the Yangzhou city wall like a horse and winds north. The mountains in the distance are undulating, and the greenery is lush nearby, just above this white horse, a long fleet of ships coming from the north, the ships in front have entered the Yangzhou Water Gate, and the ships in the rear are still miles away.

Ships loaded with soldiers of the Daishan Army entered Yangzhou City from the Water Gate and docked at the wharf in the city. Each boat was full of soldiers, the boats docked, and the soldiers disembarked from the boats.

Shi Kefa stood on the city wall and looked down, and saw that the soldiers of the Daishan Army were very quiet, whether they were sitting on the boat or disembarking, almost no one spoke casually, and it was not used at all for the chaotic situation when other Ming troops were marching.

After the soldiers on each boat got off the boat, they would go to the direction of the barracks under the leadership of the officers such as the small flag and the general flag, and standing at the head of the city, you could still see many soldiers with blood stains on their clothes and blood-stained battle robes.

Almost every boat would have several wounded soldiers, either supported or carried off the ship by two comrades, and Shi Kefa clearly saw that one of the soldiers had a feathered arrow stuck in his abdomen, and the tail of the arrow was cut off, but the arrow was still in his body.

Wounded soldiers are taken off the ship to a camp not far away, where they are treated by doctors.

This inner canal was originally a large open space, which was usually used as a wharf and a distribution center for commodities. On weekdays, it is extremely lively, every day a large number of ships from outside the city to transport a large number of firewood, rice, oil and salt and a large number of daily necessities, there are also many small traders doing business in the dock square, and there are thousands of coolies to help people carry goods for a living.

However, the war was about to start, the gate of Yangzhou was closed, and the people were no longer allowed to go out of the city casually, and the wharf square was much depressed. After the Daishan army entered the city, Ren Siqi forbade the soldiers to stay in people's homes like other Ming troops, so he set up a large camp on this riverside square.

Today, I heard that the Daishan army won the battle and defeated the Qing soldiers, and many people flocked from Yangzhou City to see this army that could defeat the Qing soldiers. The people stood far away on the side of the square, silently watching the soldiers of the Daishan Army get off the boat from the dock.

"Uncle Su has arrived!" One of the guards beside him whispered, Shi Kefa looked intently, and sure enough, he saw Su Lu Bo Ren Siqi coming ashore from a slightly larger river boat.

Ren Siqi was wearing the same red military uniform as other officers and soldiers, a fish-scale armor on his upper body, and an eight-petal helmet on his head. The clothes are ordinary, no different from other Ming army officers, but he is so vigorous and heroic when he wears it.

There was a man who looked like a scribe and said something to Ren Siqi, Ren Siqi raised his head and looked at the city, and just glanced at Shi Kefa. He saw himself, and he would go up to the city to see him the next moment, Shi Kefa thought, and stopped his steps to go down to the city.

However, to Shi Kefa's surprise, after Ren Siqi glanced at himself and the others, he did not immediately go to the city to meet him, but still stood by the river and instructed his men to disembark. At this moment, Shi Kefa's face was a little ugly.

"This Uncle Su is too arrogant, he dares not to take you as the Inspector." Staff member He Gang stood beside Shi Kefa at some point, and said to Shi Kefa indignantly.

Shi Kefa turned his head coldly and glanced at He Gang, and continued to look at the situation under the city in silence.

"Su Lubo led the troops to attack the Qing soldiers and returned from meritorious service, and the supervisor should take the initiative to go down to the city to comfort the meritorious soldiers." Staff member Yan Erme suggested in a low voice.

"That's exactly how it should be!" Shi Kefa was silent for a moment and agreed. He took the lead and walked down the road wall.

"There aren't enough doctors, can't find them? What are you eating, send someone to find it, spend more money to invite, and if you don't want to come, tie it up for me! Before he could get closer, he heard Ren Siqi yelling angrily at an officer.

The number of soldiers injured this time was too large, and there were only a few military doctors in the Daishan army, and they could not be treated at all. Cao Changjiang, director of the Logistics Department, sent people to Yangzhou City to find doctors, but he didn't know how many he found, but he was unwilling to go out to treat the soldiers' injuries, which made Ren Siqi quite angry.

"Uncle, the Inspector has arrived!" Xiong Er, who was beside the guard, carefully reminded him, and only then did Ren Siqi turn his head and see that Shi Kefa had already walked in front of him.

"The last general will meet the Overseer!" Ren Siqi hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Uncle Su, you have such a big shelf, the Inspector has been here for a long time, have you only seen it?" He Gang said in a weird way on the side.

"The military affairs are too busy, I am too busy to faint, and the overseer will atone for his sins." Ren Siqi didn't even look at He Gang, and apologized to Shi Kefa.

"It's okay, Uncle Su, if you have something to worry about, just say it." Shi Kefa saw the scene where Ren Siqi was angry just now, and took the initiative to ask.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that after the first battle, there were too many injured brothers, and the doctors in our army couldn't treat them at all, so they sent people to invite them, but there were many famous doctors in the city who didn't want to go out." Ren Siqi said.

"That's it!" Shi Kefa understood, how could there be no doctors in the huge Yangzhou City, but for those doctors, their status was much higher than that of ordinary people, and they also earned a lot of money on weekdays, so it was understandable that they refused to treat poor wounded soldiers like beggars. Because of the treatment of the army, not to mention whether you can get the money, you will be beaten or even killed if you are not careful.

"This matter is easy to do, Yongqing, you go and inform the Ren Governor's Mansion and ask him to send some medical officers to Xincheng to treat the wounded soldiers of the Daishan Army." Shi Kefa turned his head and instructed his staff member Yan Ermeidao.

"Yes! My lord. Yan Erme turned and hurried away.

"I wonder what the results of Su Lubo's attack this time were?" Shi Kefa finally asked the question he was most concerned about, although not long ago there was a report that the Daishan army had won a great victory, but he was still not at ease if he had not heard it with his own ears.

"Back to the superintendent, the last general led 3,000 troops to attack the Qing army camp this time, burned the Qing army camp with hundreds of flying dragons and divine fire flying crows, and ambushed the 1,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners who came out of the camp. During the retreat, 20,000 Eight Banners pursued and blocked our fleet at the junction of the nameless river fork and the canal, but fortunately, the main force in our city came to the rescue, defeated the pursuing Eight Banners and captured 2,000. In this sortie, our Daishan Army sent a total of 12,000 troops before and after, defeated the Eight Banners twice, and won a total of 3,000 heads! ”

Defeat the Eight Banners twice and behead 3,000! When they heard Ren Siqi say this result with their own ears, Shi Kefa and the others were still shocked.

Once upon a time, the Ming army became so brave!

"Su Ju Bo Mo wants to falsely report the results of the battle!" Suddenly, a harsh word rang out in the crowd, causing everyone's expressions to change drastically.
