Chapter 333: The Price of Victory

Li Hui lay on the ground with his back to rest for a while, his chest ached faintly, but the arrow wound on his thigh didn't feel anything, he was numb, his arms hurt, he couldn't take care of anything now, he just wanted to lie down for a while. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Li Hui, Li Hui." Mr. Liu Qian shouted in a loud voice.

Li Hui hurriedly got up, the injury on his leg made him grin in pain, Nima, it was really messy.

"Li Hui is here." Li Hui walked forward.

"Well, you're hurt too." Liu Fugui looked at him a few times, looking at Li Hui's front breastplate was broken and bleeding from his legs, "Can it be done?" ”

"Bingqian, you can still support it." Li Hui hurriedly straightened up.

"You hold on first, you hundred total are killed, you will sum up the casualties of your hundred teams, and rest later." Liu Fugui is also helpless, this hundred teams and hundreds of generals died, there must be a familiar boss.

"Yes." Li Hui saluted, his heart sank, and Mr. Bai also went.

Li Hui is also alone now, and his two guards have long since died.

Li Hui began his patrol with his spear, and he brought together those who had no casualties, and as a result, fifty-nine people were alive, nearly forty of whom were musketeers.

On the edge of the 100th team, he saw that Guo Erpang was being bandaged by medical care, and his left arm was cut off with a big gap, which could be regarded as a blood-stained robe.

And his future uncle Luo Xiao was injured by a war horse, and was helped by Lu Haicucumber to get into the artillery carriage and sent to the medical battalion behind.

Liu Fugui dispatched firecrackers to clean up the battlefield, but they didn't suffer much damage, just fired a few shots, and this was the time to come in handy.

"Lao Liu. Lao Liu. Zou Huaien came close and pulled the corner of his clothes.

"What's wrong?" Liu Fugui looked at Zou Huaien's reddened eyes.

"Kaishan was killed. I've just been there. Zou Huaien wiped the corners of his eyes.

Liu Fugui's heart sank. Another old brother walked.

"You're here to help me watch the dots. I'll take a look. Liu Fugui patted Zou Huaien on the shoulder.

"Hmm." Zou Huaien nodded.

Liu Fugui walked along the front line of the battle line to the Lao Qian Corps, and along the way, he passed by the place where the fierce battle had just begun, and there were dead corpses everywhere, as well as soldiers who were treating the wounded, all of whom were busy.

"Lao Liu is here." Wu Han greeted with tears in his eyes.

"Hmm." Liu Fugui responded, looking at Mei Kaishan who was lying on the ground pursing his mouth in pain, and now he couldn't feel anything.

Liu Fugui took off his helmet, and Wu Han, Ma Wen, Gao Bo, Ji Gang and others who were surrounding him also took off their helmets.

Three of the ten old brothers together have gone. Lao Ding retired due to injury and went to Beihua, and there are six more people.

The hustle and bustle around them reflects the silence here, which is the fate of their Liao people.

Zhao Lie sat on his horse and inspected the entire battlefield, the battle line between the two sides had the most soldiers on both sides, and the range of several miles where Jiannu fled was full of the corpses of Jiannu's armor soldiers and Han army's fallen men and horses, which were extremely conspicuous in the lush field.

The soldiers of the Broken Army were busy cutting down the heads of Jiannu, stripping off the iron armor, collecting the armor and silver, and the cavalry was collecting the war horses scattered all over Jiannu, and the people and horses within a radius of several miles were constantly busy.

"Zhao Da. Look at the performance of the Jiannu Han army this time. Zhao Lie took off his helmet and wiped his sweat. The weather was already hot in the summer, and he was fighting in iron armor, and he was sweating profusely, but as the commander of the first army, it was not time for him to rest.

"My lord, this time the Jiannu Han army fought fiercely and did not retreat, which is very different from the Han army a few years ago, such as the Liaodong Han army, it is indeed difficult to deal with." Zhao Da replied while wiping the tip of the gun.

"Huang Taiji several rows of people discussed using Han officials to use Han people to develop acres of land and divide them into acres, hehe," Zhao Lie looked at the northwest direction, this old man is not an idle person, "How can this Han people not be grateful to Dade and regard him as their food and clothing parents, they are the same as the military households under our command, if they are defeated and flee back, they will be confiscated and become slaves, so they will fight to the death." ”

"In recent years, I have heard that many Han people in Shandong and Dongjiang fled to Liaodong to reclaim the famine, and today it seems that this has greatly increased the strength of Jiannu, usually Jiannu is less than 100,000 men, which is to make Jiannu have tens of thousands of more combatable troops. Shandong's governor and political secretary just can't look at it like this. Zhao Dahu doubted.

"They don't look at it, can they give the homeless people acres of land, if they do this, it will be light to go to work and return to their hometowns, and the gentry will ask them to see what it means to ruin their families." Zhao Lie shook his head, Da Ming was already terminally ill, and the land annexation of interest groups had imprisoned everything.

The inaction of the Ming court and officials made the displaced people flee to Liaodong to join the enemy, which in turn caused the casualties of the broken army to increase greatly.

Of course, if the internal affairs are not repaired, the bitter consequences of the border people fleeing will soon be reflected in the Ming army, especially the Ming army.

An hour later, Han Jian, Lan Mingshan, the new Zhenfu Changming, and the chief Xuanfu official Xia Zichang came and reported the casualties of the battle to Zhao Lieyu.

"My lord, this time our army killed a total of 2,209 Han soldiers, and this one is not alive." Speaking of this, Zhenfu Changming peeked at Zhao Lie, and saw that Zhao Lie was expressionless and speechless, he continued,

"Killed 796 Jiannu, including Gushan Ezhen Lengri, Jiale Ezhen Asiha, two Niu Lu Ezhen, and all the armor and banners." The voice was full of joy, the high-level army of Jiannu damaged in this battle will be no less than that of Zhuozhou, which can be described as a big victory.

"Captured 1,867 pairs of iron armor, more than 500 leather armor, more than 4,000 swords, guns and weapons, war horses, hehe," said this, he couldn't close his mouth, "There are more than 3,180 war horses, and most of the war horses left by the Han army in place were collected back by our soldiers." ”

No wonder he was so excited, this is more than 100,000 taels of silver, Zhao Lie has already issued an order to let the broken soldiers have horses to become a cavalry team, in Zhao Lie's words, this can greatly improve the mobility of the infantry team.

Everyone knows that it is a good thing, but the more than 10,000 infantry team has a war horse plus a reserve horse, which is more than 20,000 war horses, and a war horse is now more than 50 taels of silver, which is a million taels of silver.

Of course, the Breakers could not afford it, and mainly relied on the supply of Jeju war horses, but this process was greatly slowed down and took several years.

Now 3,000 war horses are easy to get your hands on, and some of them can also be enriched with Jeju Horse Farm as stallions and mares.

"This time it's a little less silver, only more than 10,300 taels of silver."

At this point, his high-pitched voice wilted a lot.

This time, Jiannu did not conquer the big city of Korea, after all, there was still a request for North Korea this time, so there was almost no looting, but a lot of food was grabbed.

In this case, the soldiers will receive fewer rewards.

The harvest is rich, although there are too many heads and it is useless, but there are more doorways in this, anyway, it is a large sum of silver, plus armor, horses, money and food, this time it is a big profit.

"Tell me about our casualties." The harvest is gratifying, but the account is not calculated like this, with income and expenditure, this is what Zhao Lie is most concerned about.

Jiannu's strength has continued to grow because of the annexation of Han people, and his broken army must minimize the loss as much as possible in each major battle, compared to Jiannu's more than one million Han people's belongings, his family background is still too thin.

"My Broken Army killed three hundred and eighty-seven people, including one hundred and sixty-one reserve soldiers and two hundred and nine soldiers," he looked at Zhao Lie and said in a low tone, "The soldiers here have infantry, artillery and cavalry. ”

Zhao Lie's face twitched when he heard this, it was really a lot.

"In addition, there are more than 60 people seriously injured, and I am afraid that there is some support here, but tonight." His tone grew lower.

Zhao Lie motioned for him to continue, the worst survived, and he was not afraid of bad news.

"In addition, there were four hundred and nine minor injuries, most of them were arrow wounds, and seventy-eight war horses were damaged, of which more than forty were Shidao horses."

Zhao Lie also felt pain when he heard the loss of Shidao horses, and each horse was piled up with silver coins, how could he not make him uncomfortable.

However, today's Zhao Lie is also like an iron stone, and in the face of millions of deaths in this era, you can't help but look away.

At this time, the sound of distant war horses stomping on the ground sounded, and a large puff of smoke and dust rose, and it was hundreds of cavalry of the Broken Army who pursued the enemy and returned.

"My lord, the Jiannu left behind by the enemy army in Xuanchuan Pu Dazhai have all fled, leaving only more than 3,000 stone rice grains to be escorted back behind." Wang Haizhou urged the horse to report closely.

Zhao Lie nodded, it is certain that the soldiers who stayed behind fled, Jiannu escaped some armor soldiers, and it was of course to send the information back, but now I don't know where to go.

"Don't bring the grain and rice first, send five hundred teams to stay in that big camp, and let the sailors transport these extra rice and grain to Shenmi Island first." Zhao Lie instructed that the camp of Xuanchuan Pu happened to be in contact with the sea, and if the Broken Army evacuated from the sea, it would be a good place and could not be abandoned.

"Well, send out five hundred infantry teams, your cavalry still has important business."

Wang Haizhou hurriedly received the order.

"You led the cavalry team to Shekou Pu immediately with a guide, to explore the other Jin army led by Kakdu Li and Gao Hongzhong, now although our army has won a great victory, but there are many casualties, you must not let them be caught off guard by our army, if you encounter them, remember, do not fight head-on, but use the advantage of our army's formation and war horses to guerrilla opponents, and wait for the arrival of the brigade. Remember, remember. ”

Zhao Lie Zhengrong commanded.

Most of the enemy army is cavalry, Wang Haizhou's subordinates are insufficient, if the battle is won even if it is a miserable victory, this is Zhao Lie can not allow, how precious the cavalry is, from the soldiers to the war horses and armor are piled out of a mountain of silver.

Of course, Wang Haizhou knew the intentions of the adults, and solemnly returned the salute and led his subordinates to leave.

The next thing is the time to bury and sacrifice the fallen soldiers, this is the rule of the Broken Army, the main general must preside, no one can be an exception, Zhao Lie is the main general today, and he should not let it go.

Zhao Lie didn't want to shirk either, although every time he presided over it, he felt a little guilty, because these soldiers were killed because of his decision.

But since Zhao Lie was the one who brought them, he had to send them away with dignity, which was his duty. (To be continued.) )
