Chapter 80: This is to steal credit

All the personnel returned to the camp, and the personnel losses of this battle were also counted. Although the amphibious battalion was on the battlefield for the first time, the hard training in peacetime has brought great results, and most of them are long-range attacks, and there are more than 100 enemies who are really short-handed, and there are also veterans and guards of Mao'er Fort to help, so only 7 people were killed in battle, 6 people were unable to participate in the battle after being wounded, and 58 other people were injured differently. Although the physical fitness of the old army of Maoerbao is very poor, but the combat effectiveness is very high, this time more than 50 old soldiers died but 6 people, 12 people were injured, only 1 person can not go to the battlefield in the future, the escort suffered the greatest loss this time, a total of 30 people, 18 people died, the other 12 people were wounded, 5 of them lacked arms and legs, and could only retire.

If there is a loss, there is a gain, this time 1023 people were annihilated, 289 people were seriously injured and captured, more than 600 intact war horses were captured, more than 500 wounded horses, scimitars, bows and arrows are basically equal to the number of enemies, because these Tartars are here to receive people, there is not much money on them.

However, the Zhu Houzhao brothers were already very satisfied, because the biggest gain in this battle was the horses. A batch of the most ordinary war horses in the Ming Dynasty cost 70 taels of silver, and good war horses are even more difficult to find.

Although the 5,000 men and horses from the south were Ming officials, they could not make any preparations, so Zhu Houzhao ordered all the soldiers who had confiscated any damage to re-enter the trenches and defend themselves.

In less than 10 minutes, 2,000 horsemen arrived in front of the trenches, and the remaining 3,000 men and horses had gone to chase and kill the Tartars.

In the telescope, all of the 2,000 horse soldiers were wearing red cotton armor, and the leader was wearing gold lacquer mountain armor, which was majestic. However, with the comparison of the Tartars just now, the Zhu Houzhao brothers had some contempt for these gorgeous horse troops. The visual impact of 2000 people's unified cotton armor is great, what does cotton armor look like? The standard armor of the Eight Banners cavalry in the Qing court drama we watched is cotton armor, which means that the cavalry armor of the Qing Dynasty is basically a continuation of the Ming Dynasty.

Cotton armor is armor made of strong cotton cloth or silk with iron pieces inlaid and riveted with copper nails. It looks like a cotton coat on the outside, but it has good defense against swords and firearms, and it is very warm, which is very suitable for northern soldiers. It is impossible to make such a cotton armor without 20 taels of silver. Not to mention anything else, the cotton armor on these cavalry alone costs 80,000 taels of silver, which shows the magnificence of this army.

The leader is the only one who wears the armor of the Golden Lacquer Mountain, this kind of armor is not qualified for low-level military attachΓ©s, even if he wears it, it is overdue. This armor is shining with gold and can brighten the eyes of blind dogs in the reflection of sunlight.

After Zhu Hou took care of the Golden Lacquer Mountain Wenjia, he said to Zhu Houwei, "This armor is good, I will also have a set in the future." Zhu Houwei shrugged his shoulders indifferently, didn't say anything, and continued to observe this group of officers and soldiers.

After stopping, the formation of these officers and soldiers became a little chaotic, it was originally an awl type, but the two waists were almost parallel to the commander on one side, and uneven on the other side. After stopping, the war horse did not stop, from time to time there were war horses standing on the ground with their legs on the ground, their bodies upward, as if they were about to stand up, and the personnel were also whispering, and there were laughter from time to time.

Brother Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but shake his head, this group of people is far inferior to the fleeing Tartars in terms of military discipline and equestrianism, counting on this group of people to pursue the Tartars, it is estimated that after a few bursts of Mangu shooting, the formation will disperse, and then a counter-charge, the enemy can return with a full load.

At this time, the man in charge cast a color on the horse next to him, and then the man stepped forward and shouted, "Call a man who can take care of things to come out and speak." Dong Qinghai, under Zhu Houzhao's signal, climbed out of the No. 1 trench and replied loudly, "The lower official is the middle army of the land and water battalion, I don't know which senior official asked me." ”

The person who shouted shouted was proud, flattering, and shouted reverently, "My general is the commander of the right guard of Datong (Zheng Sanpin), Huang Yishan, Lord Huang, don't hurry up and salute." That Huang Yishan also smiled very cooperatively.

Dong Qinghai took a few steps forward and arched his hand, "I don't know what the important thing is for the adults to come?" ”

The messenger stepped forward and shouted, "Why did you come to the Shanxi border from the land and water camp, is there any official document?" ”

Dong Qinghai had no choice but to reply, "Go back to your lordship, we are here to escort the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, passing through here, there are also official documents, and we have also reported in Datong Mansion, do you want to check it?" ”

The messenger glanced at Huang Yishan, Huang Yishan whispered a few words, and the messenger kept nodding. Then he said arrogantly, "Okay, you don't need to read the official documents, you guys go quickly, these Tartar heads will be handed over to my family to deal with, please fold the gong, my family will also help you write, leave the war horse, let's go." ”

Now that they finally know what they are going to do, the Zhu Houzhao brothers are all frowning, and everyone on the battlefield is glaring angrily, this is to grab credit.

Dong Qinghai suppressed his anger and replied solemnly, "Don't bother to command the envoy, we will take care of these trivial matters by ourselves." ”

The messenger raised his eyebrows, and said in a somewhat sharp voice, "Yo he, do you know who to talk to, my family is a member of the three products, a pillar of the country, don't be ignorant of what to do." ”

Dong Qinghai was angry and roared, "Are you guys going to steal the credit?" When we are good bullies, right, if you want to take the credit for our desperate efforts, ask these people behind me if they agree? ”

Nearly a thousand people shouted in unison, "No." The voice was neat and majestic, startling those on the other side. The BMW under Huang Yishan is estimated to have not been domesticated, so he suddenly stood up and threw Huang Yishan off the horse.

Zhu Houzhao's side all laughed. When Huang Yishan was helped up by the entourage who hurriedly dismounted next to him, his hair was messed up, and his helmet fell to the ground. Then he pointed at Dong Qinghai angrily and shouted, "This official sees that you are the people who communicate with the enemy from inside and outside, come here, and prepare to attack." ”

The 2,000 or so people behind immediately began to reorganize the formation, and the atmosphere on the battlefield became tense at this time. Dong Qinghai asked with a smile: "Lord Huang, but you want to attack my land and water camp?" ”

Huang Yishan snorted, his expression arrogant, "What, now I know I'm afraid?" Tell you, it's too late? Quick, ready to charge. ”

Dong Qinghai fought on the earthen wall, did not retreat, and continued to ask, "Lord Huang, the lower official said that we are escorting the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission this time, does Lord Huang know which two are escorting?" ”

Huang Yishan laughed, "It's nothing more than a Chinese official in the court, tell you that there are people above me." As he spoke, he pointed his right index finger to the sky.

Dong Qinghai sneered, "Lord Huang, you are really not very well-informed." According to the convention, the deputy envoys are generally the Chinese officials of the dynasty, and they are basically the eight products of the imperial history, but unfortunately, this time it was not according to the convention. Our land and water battalion guards His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Second Highness. ”

As soon as the words fell, several guards who were slightly injured shouted, "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Second Highness has arrived, and everyone will see it." I saw the two brothers Zhu Houzhao wearing a symbol of status, a crown robe, and slowly walked towards the front of the battle. Everywhere he went, both inside and outside the pit knelt on the ground and shouted, "See the prince, see Your Highness." ”

Huang Yishan looked at the four-clawed golden dragon on the two brothers and was stunned for a moment, this situation was completely unexpected, and then thinking about the fact that he had just said that he was going to attack them, Yu Guang saw that the 2,000 people behind him were all saddled and dismounted, kneeling on the ground, and a sense of urine welled up in his heart.

When the two brothers arrived in front of the battle, Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth and said, "Okay, let's get up." Only then did everyone get up, but the more than 2,000 people all bowed their heads, obviously very frightened.

Zhu Houzhao said to the guards who had just been bandaged and still had blood stains on their bodies, "Tie him up." The guard clasped his fists and saluted, "Yes." Huang Yishan, who didn't dare to move, was tied up by five flowers.

After tying up, kneel in front of the brothers. At this time, Zhu Houzhao said with a serious face, "Commander Huang, you are not small, no one will be able to cure you in this big tomorrow." ”

Huang Yishan's hands were tied behind his back, he kept kowtowing, and begged for mercy in a desolate tone, "The prince is gracious, His Royal Highness is gracious." "Tears and snot, and then stained with loess, embarrassed. Zhu Houzhao said, "The following is a big crime, and it is also intended to kill the prince, and according to the law, it will be beheaded all over the house." Huang Yishan's figure was stagnant, his eyes were scattered, and he seemed to be stupid. Zhu Houwei smiled and said, "Brother is angry, if this Lord Huang ends up with a name that is detrimental to his brother's benevolence, it is better to intercede with the trial officer, and then demote him to a concubine instead, how about it?" ”

When Huang Yishan heard this, he immediately came to the spirit, it is better to die than to live, and if he really wants to behead him, even if he is peerless, he has no face to see his ancestors and ancestors when he dies, and the 23 beautiful concubines in the family are reluctant to let them die. So he immediately kowtowed and said, "What His Royal Highness said is very true, and I also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for mercy." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said calmly, "Okay, that's all." Then he turned and walked away. Zhu Houwei looked at Huang Yishan, who was still kowtowing, and said, "Okay, don't kowtow." Then he shouted to the 2,000 people, "Come a few of you, take him back and confess his guilt, and we will send someone to follow him." As he spoke, he asked two lightly wounded guards to follow the unit on horseback.

And so the farce ended. From the battle in the morning, to the current farce, there are not 2 hours in total, now all to do is to cook lunch, today's food is absolutely good, because there is an unlimited supply of meat. There are still about 400 dead horses lying on the ground on the whole battlefield, and of course how many people can eat meat today is another matter.
