Chapter 259: Rotten Southern Army? Brother, you're a little floaty!
West Hill Barracks.
The officers and men of the whole army have not yet come to their senses.
Not only did they win this battle, but they also won it all!
The five thousand light cavalry of the southern army rushed straight and straight to kill, and before they even rushed to the front of their own army, they were shot into a sieve by the terrifying firearms of the Shenji Battalion, and they were slaughtered!
In this battle, they captured thousands of sets of armor, leather armor, chain mail and other armor, as well as hundreds of intact war horses, and thousands of weapons such as swords, guns, swords, halberds, etc.
The rest is a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry looted from the officers and soldiers of the Southern Army.
Obviously, when they conquered the city, they didn't do it without committing any crimes, otherwise where did all these gold, silver and jewelry on their bodies come from?
I don't know how many people in northern Xinjiang have been poisoned by these guys!
And the price paid by our own army was just a few dozen unlucky eggs who were shot by the Southern Army and lost their lives in vain, and the battle damage was almost negligible!
Victory!
Hearty victory!
Even a terrifying victory!
General Xu Xiang reported the results of the battle to Su Yang, who was sitting on the main seat, and his expression was still a little dazed.
With 8,000 infantry against 5,000 light cavalry, not only did they slaughter the enemy, but their own army suffered almost zero battle losses!
It turned out to be true, and they witnessed this hearty victory with their own eyes!
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Xu Xiang wouldn't have believed it!
But that's the truth, the indisputable fact!
"Childe, we really did it!"
Xu Xiang looked at Su Yang with a fanatical face, and opened his mouth in a trembling voice.
What is God of War called?
This is called the God of War!
Xu Xiang couldn't wait to give himself two big mouths at the moment.
In the previous war, he dared to question his son-in-law's decision, and he dared to have contempt for his son-in-law!
Xu Xiang, you're really damned!
Such a hearty victory, such a brilliant and terrible result, even if His Royal Highness King Yan came down, the horror can't be done, right?
But Su Gongzi did it!
The power of the immortals, terrifying!
Su Yang took the battle report and read it carefully, but his brows kept locking.
He was not as happy as everyone expected, but his expression was quite solemn.
"Childe, why don't you seem to be happy about this big victory?"
Xu Xiang couldn't help but ask.
Now Su Yang is the backbone of the Xishan army, and the soldiers of the whole army still rely on him to create another miracle!
Su Yang shook his head with a wry smile, and threw the battle report to Ma Sanbao, who was standing on the side.
"Nothing to be happy about."
"The reason why our army was able to win a big victory in this battle is because the southern army did not know that our army's firearms were sharp, so it was caught off guard, and the second is that the southern army was all cavalry, and the number was not large, so it was completely annihilated by our army in a battle!"
That's the truth!
But the big win is also a fact!
Xu Xiang couldn't help but smile and said, "Childe, don't be too modest!"
"From the point of view of the last general, the combat strength of the southern army is not Erer, they are all a group of rotten cowards who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, this battle of Beiping, as long as the prince leads the army back to help in time, my Yan army will definitely win the battle!"
When the rest of the soldiers heard this, they also nodded in agreement.
After such a hearty victory, they were at a time when their morale was like a rainbow, so it was inevitable that they would be arrogant and look down on those rotten Southern Army more and more!
Seeing this, Su Yang's brows furrowed even tighter.
"I'm afraid you're a little floating!"
Hearing this, everyone looked stunned and looked at Su Yang with stunned faces.
"Just imagine, if our army doesn't have these sharp firearms, how can 8,000 infantry resist 5,000 light cavalry?"
"Firearms are indeed sharp, but ammunition is not endless, but you can be brave for a while, and when the ammunition runs out, you also need to fight with real knives and guns!"
"Moreover, although our army has completely annihilated this southern army, it has also caused trouble, the commander of the southern army, Ping'an, is attacking Tongzhou, and after he captures Tongzhou, he will not see this southern army returning, what do you think Ping'an will do?"
"When he personally leads an army of 50,000 to kill, no matter how sharp our firearms are, there will eventually be a time when ammunition runs out, and the southern army is not without firearms, so you are too happy too early!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
The joy of the past is long gone, and it is shrouded in endless panic.
According to the scouts, the Ping'an army was full of 50,000 people, if he realized that the situation was wrong after he captured Tongzhou, and led the army to kill Xishan, then they would really be finished!
After all, Xu Xiang was a veteran of the battlefield, and he reacted quickly.
No wonder Childe's brows have been tightened, and he doesn't look the slightest happy.
"Childe forgives my sins, I waited for Meng Lang, what should I do now?"
Su Yang pinched his eyebrows and groaned for a moment, and then ordered: "All the materials captured in this battle will be distributed."
"Weapons and armor are given priority to the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, after all, they deserve the first credit in this battle."
"Those gold, silver and jewels are divided into three parts, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion take fifty percent, the firearms craftsmen take thirty percent, and the infantry soldiers take two percent."
It's about distributing rewards.
Everyone did not have the slightest opinion on Su Yang's distribution.
Although it is said that the infantry soldiers only took 20%, and all those weapons and armor were given to the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, but the people's combat exploits are there, and this battle can almost be said to be the combat exploits of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion alone, and their infantry officers and soldiers are just sweeping the formation on the side.
In addition, thirty percent of the wealth was rewarded to the firearms craftsman in Xishan, although everyone couldn't understand it, but they also expressed respect for Su Yang's decision.
Two achievements and two percent, evenly spread down to almost three or four taels of silver per person, which is a lot, after all, it was just a trip, and if they didn't go into battle to kill the enemy, they could take the silver for nothing, how could they dare to ask for more.
"Those thirty percent of the property must be allocated to the firearms craftsmen, if it weren't for the fact that they have been developing and improving firearms, our army would not have achieved such results in this battle."
"I'll leave this matter to Ma Sanbao!"
"And there will be a bloody battle in Xishan next, and firearms and ammunition must be sufficient, so these firearms craftsmen will work day and night to produce with all their might, and this batch of goods as a reward can also greatly mobilize their enthusiasm."
Su Yang explained lightly, the enemy is currently unwilling to see a gap in the Xishan army.
Xu Xiang immediately patted his chest and said that he could understand it, and he didn't have any opinion on it.
"By the way, those brothers who died in battle, collect the bones and bury them, find their widows and relatives, Xishan will support them well, and this amount will be paid by Ben Gongzi himself."
"Childe, this ......" Xu Xiang's eyes were red, and he wanted to say something to dissuade him.
Su Yang waved his hand and sighed: "These brothers responded to my Su Yang's call and died in order to protect Xishan, I, Su Yang, naturally can't let them sacrifice in vain, no matter what time it is, as long as I, Su Yang, am still alive, I will take good care of their widows!"
"Childe Gaoyi!"
Everyone was moved when they heard this, and they sincerely bowed to Su Yang.
It is the luck of these soldiers to meet such a general who values love and justice!
"Next, the entire Xishan must be mobilized to build fortifications to resist the onslaught of the Southern Army!"
"This matter will be handed over to General Xu Xiang, and it is necessary to build Xishan into an iron bucket fortress!"
"The last general commands!"
