Chapter 56: Broken Castle
The county government was already a mess, with corpses all over the field, full of stumps, broken limbs and broken arms, and many people were crying out in pain after the war.
No one expected this battle to be so tragic, although the victory was great, but the loss was not small. Yang Qi didn't expect this county order to be so popular with the people, and he could still call on eight hundred warriors to resist to the death.
Of the 1,000 elite veterans, 71 were killed on the spot and 356 were wounded, adding up to nearly half of the casualty rate. Of course, almost all of the 800 officers and soldiers and the county commander of Sixian County were killed, and the remaining living people were also made up, so it can be said that there is not a single one left to kill.
Most of the wounded will return to the barracks under the care of the infirmary, and a small number will be assigned to the training camp as instructors.
After the war, there were many things that needed to be dealt with, such as registering military merits, registering the wear and tear of armor equipment, and war trophies.
Jiang Feng handled it in an orderly manner, Yang Qi nodded secretly, very satisfied with his ability, but it was a pity that such talents would rarely defect to him.
This time, too, like last time, open the granary, eat and drink as much as you want, but only for the soldiers of the rebel army. Yang Qi did not hesitate to reward money and weapons and equipment, swept away the fatigue after the siege, and his morale was high, and he praised the marshal for his generosity and trustworthiness.
Soldiers who did not die in the two sieges were selected from the new barracks, entered the training camp for training, and recruited another 1,000 recruits from Si County. The elite battalion of 2,000 men was also replenished, and the new recruitment of 1,000 training battalion recruits was added. Now the number of regular rebel soldiers has reached three thousand, and if you include the soldiers of the new barracks, there are almost eight thousand soldiers in total.
After a month of training, a thousand recruits have been trained and officially entered the battle sequence, and after a few more battles, they can enter the elite battalion.
At this time, Jiang Feng hurriedly came to report: "Lord, Zhang Wuwu has sent troops." ”
"After a month of sending troops, Zhang Wuwu is really a general, obviously only half a month's food left, but he actually held on for a month. Now he can't help anything, even if someone helps, he can hold out for a few days. ”
"Lord, it is not easy for Zhang Wuwu to endure until now."
"Order Zhou Ping to lead the men and horses of the headquarters to block the officers and soldiers, at least to save Zhang Wuwu and others." Originally, Zhang Wuwu's army was like a cloud, but now there is only Lei Chuan who has a name and surname, and the others have long been unknown.
"Yes, my lord, the spies of the Black Flag have been asked to cooperate with General Zhou's army and are waiting in Longling Mountain. However, how did the lord know where Zhang Wuwu would flee? Jiang Feng saw that Yang Qi insisted on arranging for the army to wait for Zhang Wuwu and the others in Longling Mountain.
Yang Qi smiled and said, "Longling Mountain is densely forested, the roads are rugged, and the cliffs are steep, which is just right to hide the army. "It can't be said that Zhang Wuwu also fled to Longling Mountain back then.
.............
In the dense forest of Xinyi County.
At this time, a detective rode a horse and galloped over, shouting: "Lord Xiao, Zhang Wuwu's group of traitors has been dispatched and is attacking Yuan's Fort outside the city!" ”
Xiao Daocheng suddenly laughed and said, "This traitor is about to lose, let's fight now!" Immediately in the dense forest, the horses neighed, rolled up the dust, and galloped away.
At the same time, tens of thousands of homeless people are fighting hard, the homeless people are holding simple spears, ragged, attacking towards the dock fort, Yuan Liang, the head of the Yuan family, has a cold face, and under an order, hundreds of temporarily sharpened wooden spears are thrown down, although they are wooden spears, but they are more than enough for these people who have no armor to protect.
The dock fort of the Yuan family, backed by the hill and facing the vast field, was built along the whole dock fort, built from high to downward. The walls of the fort were made of burnt bricks, and the defense was of course very high.
But at this time, the head of the family, Yuan Liangtie, had a blue face and was worried, although the Yuan family had tens of thousands of people, but the thieves suddenly attacked, there were only 500 strong men in the dock fort, plus the Xinyi County Order brought 500 officers and soldiers, and more than 1,000 people could not kill this black oppressive crowd.
Although there are a large number of displaced people, most of whom are old, weak, sick and disabled, this kind of number far exceeds the bearing capacity of the Yuan family.
Especially when he saw the two crude trebuchets slowly pushed up, Yuan Liang's face changed greatly.
His own dock fort, the walls of which were made of burnt bricks, were thick, but they were difficult to resist the projection of such boulder speculation many times.
Two fifty-pound stones were hung, and the sound of the trebuchet could be heard, and then, two stones flew over, one stone fell in the distance, and one stone fell on the wall, and with a bang, the city wall trembled slightly.
"Master, what should I do?" A cousin of Yuan Liang turned pale with fright, and shouted worriedly.
"What to do, my parents and wives are behind, once the dock fort is broken, everyone has to die, desperately." Yuan Liang was furious and stared at his cousin fiercely.
But before the words were finished, there were a few loud noises, the stones flew over, and Yuan Liang roared angrily: "Take the military hard bow."
