This scene is flat in the deserted city, and it is everywhere.

Li Chongjiu rubbed Pingping's shoulders and cried loudly by her.

Compared with the households, the garrisons are much better. When they come to the deserted town, they are either guilty, or they have no place to live, and they live one day at a time.

However, seeing the death of their companions, a little sigh welled up on their faces, and they immediately began to lift the corpses together.

What to cry about, what to cry about.

People die and birds are facing the sky, and they will not die for thousands of years, in recent years, my Great Sui soldiers have buried their bones in Liaodong, Mobei, not to mention millions.

Where are not corpses strewn thousands of miles, ghosts cry every night, get used to it, get used to it.

An old garrison sighed and spoke.

The three expeditions of the Great Sui to Goguryeo, with a million occipital bones, not to mention the Central Plains, which of the people in this county is not a family Dai Xiao.

Li Chongjiu looked at the people in the city, and after the big victory, the soldiers were in a state of decline, which had a bad impact on the morale of the army.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu ordered all the lieutenants to form a team.

The corpses of the battlefield in the south of the city were removed, and a vacant lot was cleared, and the four regiments of the government army and the twenty-fifth brigade garrison were all standing under the city.

The torches danced, and the soldiers stood in the bright light with blood-stained armor one by one.

Li Chongjiu pressed the long sword in his hand and said: "All regiments and brigades, point to it." ”

"Yes."

"One regiment, originally two hundred and five people, forty-five killed in battle, seven seriously wounded, not counting minor injuries, now one hundred and fifty-three."

The lieutenant of the regiment stood up to report.

Li Chongjiu looked at a regiment, all of which were armored cavalry trained by him, Li Chongjiu said: "When the Erbu fought with the Khitan and the Aqiu Division, Phi Jian stubbornly charged ahead, and the whole army suffered more than two percent casualties, but still did not retreat, it is really my Great Sui warrior." ”

At that moment, Li Chongjiu pulled out his knife and shouted: "Mighty! ”

All the cavalry of the regiment raised their bloodstained broadswords and roared loudly, saying, "Might! ”

"The second regiment, the original two hundred and three people, thirty-eight people were killed in battle, fourteen people were seriously wounded, not counting minor injuries, there are now one hundred and fifty-one people." Wang Mahan said loudly.

These cavalrymen were originally brought out by themselves from Shaolin Temple, Seven Thousand Villages, and the Dart Bureau, and they had been in battle for a long time, so Li Chongjiu would feel distressed if they killed or injured anyone.

Li Chongjiu looked at the second regiment and said: "Erbu charged ahead, and cut off the head of Ah Qiu's department, after the whole army suffered two percent casualties, he still did not retreat, he was my Great Sui warrior!" ”

At that moment, Li Chongjiu pulled out his knife again and said loudly: "Mighty! ”

The cavalry of the second regiment also responded with mighty cheers.

"Three regiments, the original 320 people, 116 people were killed in battle, 18 people were seriously wounded, not counting minor injuries." Ingavir exclaimed.

Hearing this, all the troops gasped. The three regiments have always been composed of Xi people, and Li Chongjiu knew that the hundred cavalry had been merged into the three regiments before, so the casualties were the highest.

Li Chongjiu said in Turkic: "Erbu is an army, but I don't treat everyone equally in my Cangtou army, and there is no difference between Hu and Han. You charge ahead, dare to die and fight, more than 30% of the battle, still do not retreat, it is really the elite of my Cangtou army, I allow you to use the Qingshan flag, and the number will be changed to three regiments in the future, for the Qingshan regiment. ”

Inghefu and Eto both looked at each other.

Eto stepped forward and said, "General, we ridicule people and worship Black Eagle, how about calling the Black Eagle Regiment?" ”

Li Chongjiu nodded when he heard this, and said, "It's called the Black Eagle Regiment." ”

After that, nearly 200 Xi people all pulled out their knives and pursed their lips and whistled.

Next, each brigade and garrison reported the casualty figures.

"The first brigade of the garrison army, the original one hundred and two people, three people were killed in battle, and one person was seriously wounded."

"The second brigade of the garrison army, the original one hundred and three people, two were killed in battle, and the Zhang brigade was seriously wounded."

...... "The 12th Brigade of the Garrison Army, the original 99 people, 5 people were wounded, and no one was killed. ”

"The thirteenth brigade of the garrison army, four people were killed in battle."

…… The sound on the field is getting lower and lower.

Compared with the casualty rate of two or three percent of the government soldiers, except for a few brigades guarding the south gate at the beginning, the casualty rate of the rest of the brigades did not exceed five percent, but in the battle, the Khitans were all defeated with one blow.

In the end of the battle, even the strong women and children among the households, the casualties were not inferior to those of the garrison.

Hearing this, Tan Zong couldn't help but look ashamed, and stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, it's my fault. ”

After that, the more than 2,000 garrisons of the 25th Brigade knelt down together and said, "Please forgive the general." ”

"Stand up, there is gold under the man's knees, how can you wait for a dignified man to kneel lightly."

Li Chongjiu said loudly.

When all the garrisons heard this, they all stood up with a bang.

Li Chongjiu pressed the knife in his hand and said: "What are your crimes, if you don't build a strong city, where can I keep my city from losing, you will face the 5,000 Khitan army with flesh and blood, hold the city for a full day, kill hundreds of enemies, if it is not for you, the whole city of 7,000 people, all suffer." ”

When the garrison troops present heard Li Chongjiu say this, they were all embarrassed, and said in unison: "General." ”

Li Chongjiu said loudly: "You shed blood and sacrificed for my Cangtou Army, I, Li Chongjiu, Huaihuang Town, and Dasui will not forget you." Hold your head high, you are my pale army, an upright soldier! ”

"Yes, General!"

The thousands of garrisons on the field let out a deafening roar.

After Li Chongjiu's reprimand, the morale of Huaihuang Town was boosted.

The bodies of the fallen soldiers were collected and cleared, dressed in the cleanest and decent clothes, and then buried in the ground.

As for the Xi people, the way they dispose of the corpse after death is to wrap the corpse in a circle with a reed mat and hang it from a tree (Note 1).

Li Chongjiu ordered the Han people not to be surprised and respect their customs.

In this battle, more than 600 soldiers and civilians who died in this battle paid tribute to the dead and comforted the dead.

After that, Li Chongjiu sent the head of the fast cavalry general A Falla, as well as the Khitan Qingniu Daxu, and wrote the battle report on the Lubu, went to Yanmen, and reported the victory in Jinyang.

Although the casualties in this battle were not small, the capture was also huge.

There were six or seven hundred Khitan and Turkic prisoners of war, and Li Chongjiu was ready to sacrifice them, along with more than 800 beheaded heads, to the eastern capital.

As for the warhorses, more than 3,000 horses, 300 cattle, and more than 50,000 sheep were captured.

First of all, with the seizure, there are more than 4,000 war horses in Huaihuang Town, many of which are excellent horses. If it were a normal time, it would definitely be a joy to have so many war horses.

But at present, there is not enough hay for the winter, and although a lot of it is collected from the Aqi department, it is not enough to raise these war horses.

You must know that a war horse can eat hay a day, enough to reach five sheep, and the better the war horse, the more resistant to rough feeding, in addition to hay and oats, black beans, etc. are mixed together, which is more expensive than people to eat.

So if he wanted to survive the winter, Li Chongjiu decided to slaughter them first, four or five hundred injured and weak war horses, and save some hay first.

As for the slaughtered horse meat, it was used as food to reward the three armies, so that the people of the town had a full meal of meat for three days.
