The next day, the soldiers began to clean the battlefield, looking at the broken organs, twisted corpses, some of the stumps were still burning, emitting a strong smell of barbecue, many people could not stand it and vomited, those veterans and counselors would go up to comfort them, and use various methods to make them comfortable and survive the shadow of the first war.
Due to Ye Fei's order, all the seriously wounded were executed, and many lightly wounded Mongol cavalry were also deliberately killed by some soldiers as seriously wounded. The officers just turned a blind eye to this, and pretended not to see it.
Groups of captives are tied up and lined up, they will not be tried, they will not be released, they will be forced to work as coolies until they die, or they will be sent to research bases to become the best guinea pigs for various experiments.
These captives have no human rights, no innocence, no justice, and they will suffer more alive than they die.
The battlefield is being cleaned, and the corpses will be incinerated after they are searched and cleaned.
The engineers began to erect barbed wire on the position, and last night the Mongol cavalry broke through two barbed wire positions, and finally could not stand the casualties and retreated, and now they want to repair these barbed wire fences in case the Mongol cavalry attacks again.
"How was last night?"
Guo Xiang asked Ye Fei, who was holding a copy of last night's battle report in his hand.
"Yes, according to the informant's information, the number of Mongol cavalry who launched an attack last night was 30,000, and more than half of them suffered casualties, and many of those who fled back returned with bullets."
Ye Fei said, handed the post-war statistics in his hand to Guo Xiang, Guo Xiang took a look, all kinds of data were clearly written on it, she swept through the messy pile of guns and ammunition, and directly saw the casualties of the Mongolian cavalry and her own army.
I saw that it was written: Last night, the Mongol army lost a total of 9,634 people and took 6,512 prisoners, but committed suicide and attempted to attack the management soldiers, and 2,003 people died on the spot, and the remaining prisoners totaled 4,509 people.
The 1st Division suffered 143 casualties, 259 seriously wounded, and 346 lightly wounded; The 2nd Division suffered 296 casualties, 124 seriously wounded, and 207 lightly wounded.
"Why did the 2nd Division lose twice as many people as the 1st?"
Guo Xiang frowned, she was the commander of the second division, and when she arranged the defensive positions of each division, she had personally seen it, and she should not have died so many more than the first division.
"Because, without paying attention, one of the recruit battalions of the 2nd Division was broken through the second barbed wire fence by the Mongol cavalry, opening a gap, and they bore the brunt of it, and almost a battalion was wiped out."
Ye Fei sighed, last night the Mongolian cavalry not only broke through the first barbed wire, but also broke through the second barbed wire. When they set up their positions, there were only four barbed wires, and if the Mongol cavalry were in one blow, maybe all four would have been broken.
"It is difficult to imagine the cruelty of war without experiencing the blood of war, and it is still a collision with the Mongolian cavalry, and the soldiers have done a very good job. I have ordered the Second Division to record all the wounded, treat the seriously wounded with all their might, and properly resettle these heroic soldiers after the battle. ”
After Guo Xiang said a word, he ordered a staff officer beside him, and the staff officer immediately recorded it, and after listening to it, he gave Guo Xiang a military salute and walked quickly out of the headquarters to convey the order.
"The Mongol army's first initiative to attack was frustrated, and they will not attack the position again, they don't have so many martial arts masters, and the cavalry can't withstand such attrition."
Ye Fei had a sand table in front of him, and he put a chess piece representing his own power behind the Mongolian military camp.
"Next, the Mongol army will choose to rest, after all, they have lost their spirits, and they will first reorganize and recover, and then think about how to break the city.
I think they will choose to besiege us instead of attack, as expected, and divide us into an isolated city, and they are mostly cavalry and horses, and it will be very troublesome for us to reinforce us. ”
Ye Fei said calmly, all the military commanders in the command listened quietly, this analysis was there before the war, but when I heard it again, I still felt that it was wonderful.
"War is fought with information, equipment, logistics, and prediction, and we can calculate the trend of evolutionary war, but the battlefield cannot be controlled, and it may change rapidly at any time. Salute! ”
Ye Fei stood up and saluted in the direction of the position, and everyone, including Guo Xiang, also got up and saluted over there solemnly.
"We've pretty much done what we can do, the rest is up to you, Tang Zhe."
Ye Fei meditated in his heart, looking at the sky outside the door, as if he wanted to look through the space and see Tang Zhe marching in the mountains and forests.
…………………………………………
For several days, the Mongol army did not move, except occasionally came to the positions of the 1st and 2nd Divisions to shout and shout, as if to confirm whether people were there.
In Luoyang City in recent days, the people's worries have not disappeared, but the fear has deepened, although the night of the battle was won, but they are not happy, because this completely angered the Mongols, it is possible that after the city is broken, they will face a bloody massacre.
Now Luoyang is surrounded by the Mongol army, and no one can go out, and no one can enter. Some people who didn't leave early regretted it at this time, why didn't they leave early? The Mongol army was clearly determined to trap them, and when there was no food, the city would probably collapse immediately.
But these people didn't dare to jump out and talk nonsense, that night was not only a big battle outside the city, but also a bloody storm inside the city, a dozen families that were inconspicuous on weekdays were uprooted, and hundreds of people were silenced overnight, so that they were silent, did not dare to say more, did not dare to ask more.
Surrounded by vast weeds, groups of soldiers have been lying in ambush for a long time, waiting for food supplies from the Mongol army.
In the makeshift headquarters, Tang Zhe was sitting drinking water, and on either side of him were a platoon of military staff officers, who were busy all the time, some were doing map work, some were writing paperwork, and some were paying attention to what was happening at any time.
Suddenly, there was a cannon sound in the distance, Tang Zhe hurriedly threw away the water glass, picked up the telescope and walked out of the temporary headquarters.
Looking in the open grass in the direction of the artillery, a long convoy came from afar, now cut off by people, and was burning with billowing smoke.
"It's finally here, pass on my order, the infantry will be wiped out as much as possible, and if the cavalry can't deal with it, let them go out to report the news."
Tang Zhe smiled on his face, he had been waiting for the Mongolian army's grain transport team to go crazy in the past few days, and it was only now that this grain transport team came, so he couldn't help but be unhappy and excited.
The staff officer on the side wrote down this order and was about to convey it, but Tang Zhe waved his hand to stop it, "Wait, our primary purpose is to destroy the grain even more, people can not be killed, change to grab grain and burn grain as much as possible, as long as people are driven away, they can not be killed." ”
The staff officer was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, immediately changed the order, and quickly passed the order.
At this moment, the Mongolian grain army was quite numerous, but after all, they were all infantry, although there were cavalry, but there were only a few hundred, under the deliberate ambush of the third division, the cavalry was the first to ambush, artillery and muskets frightened the horses, and instantly made them suffer heavy losses.
As soon as the infantry saw that the Mongolian cavalry escorting the escort had run away, they immediately threw down their weapons and jumped into the grass and mountains and forests in groups of three or five, and did not know where to go.
Some of the Mongol grain transporters gave up resistance, threw away their weapons and prepared to surrender, not wanting these strange soldiers to ignore them at all, just caring about moving grain and setting fire, setting fire to carry grain, as long as they did not resist and did not take weapons and food, they would secretly flee, and they would turn a blind eye.
So, the infantrymen, led by the officers, gathered together and galloped, some returning the way they came, others heading towards the Mongol camp.
In a short time, the thousands of grain transport teams were scattered, and all of them ran clean.
"Very good, very good, there are nearly 200,000 people waiting for this batch of grain with their mouths open, what do I think Kublai Khan's old goods should do?"
Tang Zhe faced a large pile of grain and stomped excitedly.
"It's going to rain, people are going to eat, Kublai Khan's old man should be very uncomfortable, right? What happens when he gets upset? ”
Tang Zhe walked step by step, frowning, he was suddenly startled, and almost made a big mistake, at this time, grabbing grain is not a good thing, burning grain is a real good thing.
Presumably, at this time, Kublai Khan received the news of the grain transport team, and he would definitely send a large number of cavalry to recapture the grain.
"Quick, let the soldiers bring a little meat each, no more than two kilograms, we have to hurry away and set fire to this food."
Tang Zhe pulled over a staff officer who was still excited, this staff officer was still very depressed, and opened his mouth to say: "Division commander, so many beef and mutton, are we really going to burn it?" ”
"If you don't burn it, keep it for the funeral, hurry up, give me the order."
Tang Zhe kicked the staff officer away, and the staff officer had to go to the order aggrievedly.
The flames were in full bloom in the grass, and the fat of the beef and mutton burned "crackling" chaotically, and the fragrance could be smelled within ten miles with the wind.
After Tang Zhe left with his troops for more than an hour, a cavalry of 10,000 people arrived, looking at the still burning grain, he couldn't help but show a fierce light in his eyes, and roared angrily in the sky.
