177 Compensation Scheme
With a pop, Fan Jinqiang fell to the ground motionless, Wang Baoyu hurriedly ran over and helped him up, only to see Fan Jinqiang's face bloodless and his lips were purple, not to mention extreme fatigue and excessive blood loss.
"Hey, hey, hey, not in vain!" Fan Jinqiang said with half-squinted eyes and opened his mouth.
While arranging for the soldiers to continue to take precautions, Wang Baoyu sent someone to carry Fan Jinqiang off the city wall, and found Jiangxia Chenglangzhong to bandage his wounds.
Lang Zhongqian told him to recuperate for a period of time, and don't dance with guns and sticks again, otherwise he will sit down and get sick, and this arm will be wasted. Then he prescribed a prescription and personally boiled it for Fan Jinqiang to take.
"Drink this charred thing, I'm fine!" Fan Jinqiang frowned, just smelling this smell knew that the taste would not be too good.
"Don't be reckless, general, please drink it while it's hot."
Fan Jinqiang couldn't help it, so he had to pour it in one go, the taste of the medicine was very bitter on the one hand, Fan Jinqiang fought overnight, and his stomach was already hungry, as soon as he drank this medicine, his stomach was as uncomfortable as if he was overturning the river and the sea, and a mouthful of medicine squirted out directly, and the rest of Fan Jinqiang gritted his teeth and held back, so he didn't spit it out.
It took a long time for Fan Jinqiang to recover and laugh at himself: "This medicine is even more difficult than fighting." ”
"It's all brothers who have bothered you." Wang Baoyu said with tears rolling in her eyes.
"Brothers don't have to worry about it, after this battle, I will show my heroic nature." Fan Jinqiang said arrogantly.
"Big brother will go back first to recuperate, and I will make my own arrangements."
Wang Baoyu returned to the house where he lived, changed into dry clothes, drank two cups of hot tea, and tried to calm himself down.
Finally, Wang Baoyu made a very difficult and helpless decision, that is, tonight, together with Guan Ting and Fan Jinqiang, he led the remaining soldiers to kill from the West Gate, rushed out of a bloody road, and returned to Fancheng.
Simply packed up his things, night fell, Wang Baoyu rode on the black shadow, ready to find Guan Ting and Fan Jinqiang, and then, just as he rode out of the door, a soldier ran over happily, shouting as he ran.
"Strategist, Strategist, great joy!"
"Whose family marries a daughter-in-law and has a child, where does the joy come from?" Wang Baoyu asked lazily.
"There is a change under the city, and the Jiangdong army is evacuating!" The soldier knelt on one knee and arched his hand.
Wang Baoyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly urged the horse to go up to the city wall, the injured Fan Jinqiang did not recuperate at ease, he was standing on the city wall with a thick bandage, and when he saw Wang Baoyu coming, he grinned and said: "Baoyu, Jiangdong rats, was finally frightened and fled!" ”
Wang Baoyu looked down in the night, and sure enough, he saw that the Jiangdong soldiers were putting away their tents, carrying pots and stoves, and the ranks were neatly arranged, obviously about to evacuate.
Whether he really wants to evacuate or set up a maze array, Wang Baoyu is not sure for a while, and needs to observe for a while.
At this moment, a black horse rushed out of the ranks, and Lu Meng, wearing a cyan battle robe, shouted at the city wall: "The soldiers above hear clearly, we are about to collect our troops and will no longer attack Jiangxia, and I hope to raise my hand and let me return to my hometown with the bones of the soldiers, so as to comfort their souls in the sky." ”
Wang Baoyu saw that Lu Meng didn't look like he was lying, and shouted, "Yes, but you are not allowed to carry weapons." ”
Lu Meng bowed his hand to Wang Baoyu gratefully, and then waved behind him, and immediately came up a group of soldiers, only holding hooks and ropes and other things, came to the moat, salvaged the corpses, on the city wall, there were also hundreds of Jiangdong soldiers' corpses, and they didn't know what to do, Wang Baoyu ordered to throw these corpses down.
Seeing the corpses of the soldiers thrown from the city wall, Lu Meng hugged his fist at the top again to show his gratitude, and then, the corpses of these soldiers were dragged away, and the army of Jiangdong, with a neat and slow pace, gradually disappeared into the night.
Wang Baoyu couldn't help but secretly admire Lu Meng, properly disposing of the corpses of the soldiers, this is also a kind of general demeanor, of course, the corpses of these soldiers, only important people will be brought back to Jiangdong, and most of them are buried on the bank of the Han River.
Fan Jinqiang immediately arranged for the soldiers to wash the blood stains on the city wall, and it was another busy job, Wang Baoyu asked him to go back to rest several times, but he refused politely, and he was too tired to lean on the wall and close his eyes for a while. I was so excited that I couldn't sleep.
Wang Baoyu has been standing on the city wall until dawn, seeing that there is no half of the Jiangdong soldiers below, he really put his mind at ease, and sent a fast horse to investigate the situation of the Jiangdong army, and the horse report that the Jiangdong soldiers have boarded the boat to cross the river, the only regret is that all the warships left by Huang Zu were taken away by the Jiangdong army, but the soldiers who died in Jiangxia were also buried by friendship, which is very humane.
Riding back to the house, Wang Baoyu still felt incredible, the Jiangdong army actually withdrew like this, and there must be an article in it. Guan Ting couldn't suppress the ecstasy in her heart, ran in and hugged Wang Baoyu, crying with joy: "Baoyu, we finally held Jiangxia." ”
"What! It's that people don't want to fight. Wang Baoyu said.
"In any case, you and I have come here this time, which can be regarded as a great achievement." Guan Ting kissed Wang Baoyu and said excitedly, this is the first time she has made a war exploit, and defending Jiangxia can be regarded as a successful completion of the task.
"Alas!" Wang Baoyu sighed, gently pushed her, and said, "Ting'er, how many soldiers have we lost?" ”
Asked about this, Guan Ting's face showed gloom, and said, "There are only five hundred soldiers left." ”
"Learn from Lu Meng, bury the soldiers!" Wang Baoyu said.
"It's still Baoyu who thinks about it thoroughly." Guan Ting turned around and went out, ordering the remaining soldiers to bury the fallen soldiers.
The soldiers who died were buried at the foot of a hill outside Jiangxia City, and it took two days to put a qiē properly, Wang Baoyu led everyone to pay tribute, and also found a Wenchen, wrote a long memorial text, read it in public, burned it as a commemoration, and the soldiers were moved to tears.
Although Huang Zu is dead, but his son Huang Shot is still there, and the power of the Huang family is still not to be underestimated, Wang Baoyu can no matter how much, there are generals and soldiers in his hands, this is the biggest bargaining chip, he found Huang Shot, and asked him to compensate for the losses suffered in this war.
Huang Jiedou was also very knowledgeable, and hurriedly organized a family meeting, and at the same time summoned the wealthy businessmen of Jiangxia City to be present, and after some discussion, the compensation plan for Wang Baoyu and others was released.
One thousand taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver, ten thousand stones of grain, a number of horses, a number of forage, a number of vehicles, Wang Baoyu looked at the long list of materials, and finally laughed happily, of course, the last female slaves did not want a few, Huang Yueying would not raise them in vain.
