Chapter 43 Cutting the grass to the roots
When the sky began to brighten, the battle was finally over, and more than 300 golden soldiers were captured, squatting together in despair, many of them still wounded.
After the battle, his eyes were full of disabilities, and the wailing in the camp was really a bit torturous, although Cao Ling'er, who was following Guan Cheng, tried to maintain his posture with a smile, but the pale face and the throat that surged from time to time still betrayed him easily.
Cao Ling'er secretly glanced at her sweetheart and secretly cheered up, Cao Ling'er had made up a lot of knowledge during this time, and naturally knew the price of Guan Cheng, who was the prince, taking himself with him.
The group shuttled through the camp, stopping from time to time to chat with a soldier to soothe the atmosphere in the camp.
"Your Highness~"
Guan Cheng looked in the direction of the call, and just saw Wu Chengju rushing here, followed by Bu Wang of the Special Operations Brigade.
"You are waiting for you to recuperate from your injuries, but Lone has promised you a hundred acres of fertile land."
Guan Cheng's voice was very peaceful, and there were several soldiers around him who were like heavenly princesses with sincere and fearful satisfaction, and they didn't sit together again until Guan Cheng walked a short distance, these are all capital that can be bragged about in the future, no matter how strong the princes of the world are, no matter how Datong loses power, the one just now is a genuine prince and prince, and the dignity of his identity is not comparable to ordinary princes at all.
The prestige of the Chase royal family among the common people has always been good, which may be one of the reasons why the vassal states still recognize this face.
Wu Chengju first saluted Guan Cheng before saying: "Your Highness, the statistics have come out, the casualties in this battle are not small, it can be said that more than half of the casualties have been lost." ”
Guan Cheng frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said with a long sigh: "Bury the brothers who died in the battle on the spot, and bring the rest of the wounded who are willing, anyway, there are a lot more carts after this battle, and those who are unwilling are enough to be entangled, and there must be no shortage." ”
"Your Highness, rest assured, such a trivial matter has already been arranged."
Guan Cheng nodded, then moved his gaze to Bu Wang.
Bu Wang comprehended and hurriedly bowed: "Your Highness, the traces of the golden soldiers are all under control. ”
Guan Cheng didn't say much, but turned his head and said softly: "Ling'er, you go back with Mama first, and then I'll go to see you later." ”
Cao Ling'er knew that Guan Cheng and the others had important matters to discuss, and they didn't say much at the moment, but they just smiled and bowed before retiring, and Wu Chengju and others also hurriedly saluted Cao Ling'er to show respect.
Wu Chengju even secretly annoyed in his heart, blaming himself for being too chic in the first half of his life, if he also had such a beautiful girl, he was still worried about a hammer, and he didn't think about what kind of genes he would have for his five big and three thick appearances.
After Cao Ling'er left, Guan Cheng asked, "Go on." ”
"Yes." Bu Wang saluted again and said: "The subordinates and others have followed all the way, and they have always maintained their tracks so they have not been discovered, and now the Jin soldiers are repairing about ten miles away from here, and the Jin generals intend to collect the rout, waving the Nine Infant Banner, before the return of the subordinates, the Jin soldiers have gathered no less than two hundred people, and now the Qiu Rail Commander and others are still watching, please give an order from His Royal Highness." ”
"Ten miles? So close? This Yan Tao is not small. Guan Cheng sneered.
"Your Highness, the minister thought that Yan Tao might have thought that our army suffered a lot of casualties in the battle last night, after all, our army is also very clear, and it is difficult to have the strength to pursue after last night's melee. Moreover, Yan Tao has five brigades in his hands, and he will definitely be unwilling in this battle, and it is very likely that he will mobilize troops again to try to win our army. ”
Guan Cheng couldn't help but nodded, in other words, he couldn't be willing to suffer such a big loss in the face of absolute superiority and strength, in just a few days, the most elite soldiers in his hands were almost gone, and the troops lost forty percent at once, if there was no result of the battle, he couldn't explain it at all after he went back, even if the lord of the Jin Kingdom protected him, he might not be able to keep it.
Thinking of this, Guan Cheng looked at Wu Chengju and asked, "What about Wang Ye?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, Captain Wang is dealing with the aftermath at this time, do you need the minister to call him over?"
Guan Cheng shook his head and said, "Forget it." ”
Then he said: "Yan Tao, this thief, dared to rob my camp and kill my subordinates and destroy my blood, such a great revenge must be avenged." ”
"General Wu."
Wu Chengju was overjoyed, it was finally his turn.
"How many troops can still be dispatched in the army now?"
Wu Chengju pondered for a moment and then replied: "Back to Your Highness, there are more than 300 soldiers intact, and if you count the lightly wounded, there are almost 700 people. ”
Guan Cheng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What about the Chinese army?" ”
Wu Chengju replied with a wry smile: "Back to Your Highness, the Chinese military ministers are also counted." ”
Guan Cheng was stunned, he couldn't imagine that he was almost a bare-bones prince after the two wars.
"Of the more than 300 people who were not wounded, were more than half of them recruits?"
Wu Chengju nodded.
Recruits make up more than half!
Guan Cheng felt very worried, the existence of veterans in an army is very important, the war is commanded by the superior, but it is completed by countless soldiers, an experienced veteran can make the surrounding recruits feel at ease, it can be said that the most important thing in the combat power of an army is to see how many veterans dare to fight.
Soldiers often say that the time and place are favorable, but the time is not as good as the location, the location is not as good as the people, and talent is the foundation.
Guan Cheng was a little shaken for a moment, his capital was not much, his family background was like this, and now the journey of thousands of miles has just begun, and it is impossible to predict what will be behind it.
But then Guan Cheng's gaze became firm, this battle cannot be avoided, if Yan Tao dies, the lord of the Jin country will be furious, but most of the main forces of the Jin country are concentrated in the area of Yuhang County, even if the lord of the Jin country wants to chase himself, he has to consider whether the 40,000 Peng Shu coalition army will explode the chrysanthemum.
But if Yan Tao is not dead, he will inevitably chase after him again, and the lord of the Jin Kingdom does not know how many Jin troops there are, but Yan Tao is clear.
The Jin army could repel Yan Tao once or twice, but it would be difficult to repel it a third time.
Chop the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows.
"Seven hundred! Two hundred men were left alone to guard the camp. ”
But Guan Cheng seemed to think of something again, was silent, turned around and paced in place.
Sometimes his brows were tightened, and sometimes he looked into the distance, and he looked at Wu Chengju and the others for a moment, not knowing what his Royal Highness was thinking.
Fortunately, Guan Cheng didn't let the two of them wait for a long time, that is, the time of more than ten breaths, but these more than ten breaths were so long in the eyes of the two.
"Wu Chengju."
"The last general!"
Guan Cheng looked at the middle-aged warrior in front of him who had been by his side since he was a child, and said in a deep voice: "I will give you all the people alone." ”
Wu Chengju was shocked, everyone?
Looking at Wu Chengju's shocked face, Guan Cheng nodded heavily and said, "That's right, everyone, all the soldiers who can act, including men, grooms, and miscellaneous servants, are all deployed to you." ”
Then, Wu Chengju couldn't help but palpitate when he listened to the order with awe-inspiring killing intent.
"Lone wants you to bring back a head, either yours or Yan Tao!"
Looking at the murderous aura in Guan Cheng's eyes, the blood in Wu Chengju's heart began to surge, and his achievements were always before the king, and then he said loudly: "If you can't get back Yan Tao's head, you will kill yourself in front of the king!" ”
