Chapter 49: Zero Deaths and Thirty-Nine Killings
By the fire, Liu Jun and Li Chunjiang and the team presidents of each team were sitting together, making a post-war summary.
"We have beheaded thirty-nine thieves, and fourteen half-dead captives." "A monk's body was also found, as well as the bodies of seven women, in addition to sixteen wounded women who survived. Five of them were seriously injured and would not survive until tomorrow morning, while the remaining three survived but were crippled, one with a broken hand and two with a broken foot. ”
Fighting is always brutal, and even if it is a small fight, there are heavy casualties.
Especially when more than 20 innocent people are involved. Before, the bandits were desperate and wanted to use the people as hostages to let the township group let them escape. At that time, Liu Jun did not hesitate at all, and directly ordered an artillery attack.
There is no need to compromise with those thieves who slaughtered the village, even if they are allowed to escape, but in the end, these thieves will never really abide by the agreement and let the hostages go. Liu Jun is not the kind of person who has the kindness of a woman, but he sensed Li Chunjiang's hesitation at that time, so he immediately made a decision on his behalf.
At this time, eight civilians were seen to have died in the previous battle, five others did not survive, the other three were crippled, and in the end only eight women were lucky enough to suffer only minor injuries. Thirteen dead, three disabled, Liu Jun felt uncomfortable, but if he did it again, he would also make the choice to attack.
Li Chunjiang could understand Liu Jun's choice at that time, and he said to Liu Jun, "Jiye, you didn't do anything wrong at that time, but I shouldn't hesitate." There are no conditions to talk about such a murderous thief. Hesitation, only to increase the difficulty of the battle, let the township brothers sacrifice, I want to thank you for making the right choice in time at that time. ”
Liu Jun sighed and shook his head. Not wanting to say anything more about it, he asked, "What about the casualties of our brothers?" ”
"Three of the injuries were quite serious, but they can be cured and they won't have disabilities, but they may need to recuperate for two or three months. The rest were slightly wounded, and no one was killed. ”
Hearing the news, Liu Jun, Li Chunjiang and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief with joy. Although today's battle was a surprise attack by more than 100 people against about 50 bandits, and their nine-headed bird village regiment crushed each other in terms of equipment and numbers. But this is the first battle after all.
It's quite rare to be able to die in zero.
Liu Jun remembered that Qi Jiguang had killed more than 3,000 enemies and killed more than 8,000 enemies in the southeast, and he had no glorious examples of death, but after all, the Qi family army at that time had already taken shape and was quite powerful.
"The wounded brother must be treated with all his might, using the best medicine, and not worrying about the cost of medicine. Let them recuperate from their injuries with peace of mind, and enjoy the same full salary and monthly rations during the period of recuperation, and they can also receive a recuperation allowance. They are all good, they were wounded in battle, and we will never treat them badly. Li Chunjiang was the first to express his position, and Liu Jun also supported it.
"Write down the words of the public series, and when you go back, each team will always convey the original words to all the brothers in the township group." Liu Jun confessed.
"How many have been seized, and have they been counted?"
As soon as the scribe heard about the seizure, his face was immediately full of excitement. He flipped through his records and reported, "It's very good, it's a small fortune." First of all, we captured fifty-three horses, not one missing. They are all good horses, and some of them still have the mark of Guan Ningjun on them, and I don't know where these thieves got these good horses. ”
"It must have been robbed." Liu Jun was not surprised, it must be his henchmen who can follow the ** son out to rob. And this ** son is said to have joined Li Zicheng's team, and was later broken up by Sun Chuanting and fled back to Huangzhou. It was not surprising that there were war horses in his team about the Ning army.
This is indeed a small fortune, in the north horses may not be so precious, but in the south, the war horses outside the mouth are scarce resources, each one is very precious, and they won fifty-three horses at once, which is really a small fortune.
"In addition to the fifty-three horses, the rest of the seizures were quite numerous. Among them, there are mainly 37 taels of gold, 856 taels of silver, and dozens of copper coins, some gold, silver, pearls and jade jewelry, and dozens of satin cloths. ”
Liu Jun nodded, these thieves slaughtered Lin Jiazhai and robbed ** slaughter village, and they must have done a few votes on the road by the way, adding up to more than a thousand taels of silver.
"The brethren don't have any booty, do they?" Liu Jun asked deliberately. Among the rules formulated by the Nine-headed Bird Township Regiment, there is no private possession of war booty, and all seizures on the battlefield must be handed over to the public, of course, it is not that the villagers will not share the profits. Instead, it is not allowed to be privately hidden, and it must be handed over uniformly, and then counted and counted after the war, and finally a certain percentage is taken out and sent to the villagers.
This is also to avoid the villagers from always thinking about grabbing and hiding the spoils of war when they are fighting. When the spoils of war are returned to the public, everyone doesn't have to worry about it all the time, so that everyone can concentrate on the war.
However, Liu Jun believes that such regulations are definitely not so easy to maintain, and there will definitely be people who violate them. Of course, if he only secretly hid one or two small trophies, Liu Jun would not be so harsh, but if it exceeded a certain amount, it would definitely not work. This is the first real battle, and Liu Jun hopes that from the beginning, he can maintain this system well.
"Don't take my words for a joke, I'm serious, and I'll check the prison and the family in a while, and let everyone hand over the private treasures first, and at the same time tell everyone that they will give away some of the loot as a reward when they turn around. And told them that if they did not hand over the private possession, they would be punished if they were discovered, ranging from a fine of pay to confinement and a military stick at the worst, and if it was very bad, they would be expelled from the team. ”
Several military guards in charge of military discipline hurriedly nodded and wrote down.
"In addition, we have seized dozens of knives, guns, knives and arrows. There are all sorts of them, some are damaged, but most are still in use. ”
"Take it, and bring it back to the armory."
After the scribe's report, the military prison began to report.
"In this battle, no Xiang Yong tried to escape, and they were all brave. But after the war, there were still people who fought for the head of the thief, and even scolded and fought because of it. We recorded a total of five fights over the top rank, and two teams fought for the top rank, but luckily it was stopped in time. ”
Liu Jun just smiled at this, this is inevitable. Although it was repeatedly emphasized in the previous training that it was forbidden to compete for the first rank during the battle, it was also repeatedly emphasized that the soldiers were united in the battle team and cooperated in the battle, and the enemies killed by the firefighters were uniformly cut down after the battle, which was counted as the merit of the whole team.
However, after all, military merit is so important, and each head level means a high reward of dozens of taels of silver, and it is not normal to fight. "Write down all those who are fighting, and then go back and punish them for carrying water and cleaning the toilet, saving them the strength and nowhere to use it."
Li Chunjiang just smiled, such a thing is not worth talking about, anyway, there are ready-made rules there, and according to the rules.
Everyone didn't speak for a while, and their eyes all looked at Li Chunjiang and Liu Jun.
Liu Jun knew what everyone meant, tonight's battle was very successful, but he only wiped out the ** group of people, and he still has a nest. And the interrogation of the captives just now has clarified the location of the lair of the ** group, as well as the left-behind personnel of the old crackdown, as well as the detailed situation.
**Zi's nest is in Qiting, located in the mountains between Macheng and Huanggang, the nest is built in the valley, showing that a group of homeless people settled there and reclaimed wasteland, but in fact it is a group of thieves and their families. Now there are about 300 people there, old and young, and more than 100 young and strong, with a lot of cold weapons such as spears, bows and arrows.
Of course, what makes the nine-headed bird and the others most excited is that there are a lot of ** people hoarded there, and they have robbed a lot of money and food from everywhere for more than a year.
If you can copy this thief's den, you can take out a lot of money and food, and you can make a fortune.
It's like digging a gopher nest in the winter, digging out a nest can not only catch a few fat mice, but even take out a nest of food.
However, it is not so easy to swallow this fruit, and first, it is not Heung'an Temple. Xing'an Temple is just a temporary place for them to stay, and the thief's nest in Qiting is a real thief's nest. Hundreds of people are entrenched in the mountains and forests, there are cottages, there are guards, there are hundreds of young and strong thieves, and they also have a lot of weapons.
And it's someone's home field, and it's never as easy as this time.
It's a piece of fat, but it's not easy to eat.
In the end, it was Liu Jun who broke the silence, "I think we killed fifty-three of the ** gang this time, which can be regarded as a brilliant result, and it breathed a sigh of relief for the villagers of Linjiazhai." Of course, we can't let go of that gang of thieves, but I don't think we have to go alone to suppress the thieves, first, the Qiting Pavilion is far away from here, and second, the thieves are not small, and there are cottages to rely on, so if we attack it, we may have to pay a lot of casualties. ”
Liu Jun said slowly, "Therefore, I thought we should wait until dawn and go back to the Queen's City camp first." Then we told the villagers and Mei Gong, Lu Zhixian and others about the results of the battle, and told them about the thieves' nest we found. We can follow Mei Gong and Lu Zhixian to Qiting to exterminate that den of thieves. ”
Li Chunjiang hesitated a little, tonight's battle was very beautiful, and he really hoped that he could make persistent efforts to kill the thieves and destroy them together. In that way, it not only avenged the villagers of Linjiazhai, but also greatly raised the prestige of the nine-headed bird cavalry.
And if they go back like this and tell the information to the above, then even if they participate, they will definitely not have much weight.
"Gongji, we can't eat alone." Liu Jun whispered beside Li Chunjiang, "This time, the ** gang made such a bad fuss, and the impact was very bad. Mei Gong and Lu Zhixian and even Huangzhou Wei and Huangzhou Mansion may all have ugly faces, and it is enough for us to fight this battle now. Next, the function of exterminating the thieves' den should be handed over to them, you say yes, what's more, just rely on the strength of our team to attack the thieves' den, there will inevitably be a lot of casualties, this is not worth it. ”
Wake up the dreamer with a word, Li Chunjiang suddenly understood the meaning of Liu Jun's words. If you do a lot of things, it is not necessarily good, and sometimes it is better.
"Okay, listen to you."
