Chapter 13 Eager to Try
Da Kui sat in the car and followed the grain cart into the camp, full of wounded soldiers, Lang Zhong in the army was busy treating the wounded soldiers, looking at these wounded soldiers in a very miserable state, the head was broken and bleeding, the chest strap wound was quite light, broken arms and short legs abounded, seeing such a tragic situation of the Ming army, Da Kui's heart couldn't help but tighten, and immediately jumped out of the car to go to the back camp, only to see more than ten miles of camp, wounded soldiers can be seen everywhere,
Da Kui found a soldier with a wound in the front chest and asked urgently, "How did this happen?"
The soldiers saw that it was a captain, so they snorted bitterly: "The Yuan soldiers are fierce, General Li took us to defend the riverbank, and the soldiers of the Ming army have suffered more than 10,000 casualties in the middle of the moon," Da Kui couldn't help but be a little shocked when he heard this, and came to a camp tent, lifted the curtain and saw that the tent was also full of wounded soldiers,
"This big brother, take a hand," a soldier in the tent saw someone coming, and hurriedly called out,
That is, people have a request for themselves, Da Kui can not refuse, when he entered the camp tent, the left and right sides of the tent are laid on the ground, the wounded soldiers are lying on the ground in turn, Da Kui walked to the soldier who called each other and asked: "This brother, what is the matter?"
The wounded soldier sighed: "My leg is injured, I can't move, I want to go out to pee, can this big brother help me?"
"What's so difficult about this, it's just a matter of raising your hands," Da Kui bent down and helped the wounded soldier up, and the wounded soldier limped out under the support of Da Kui, who knew that he was accidentally tripped by one foot, and he was supported by Da Kui, otherwise he had to grab it on the ground, and the wounded soldier stood up straight, and hurriedly looked back and smiled: "I'm sorry,"
He was apologizing to others, he touched other people's feet because he was unable to move, so he naturally had to pay for it, who knew that he said a word, and he didn't see the person's reaction, Da Kui saw that things were not good, and hurriedly said: "You stand still, I'll take a look,"
Saying that, he came to the soldier lying on the ground, squatted down and took a closer look, it turned out that the soldier was stabbed in the chest, and he was placed here after bandaging, maybe there was a lack of medical treatment, and no one paid attention to it, but he had been dead for a long time, Da Kui slowly stood up, turned back to help the soldier who was going to pee, and said: "Let's go, I will bury him when I come back,"
Wait until Da Kui came back to help the wounded soldiers back to their original places, then went to carry the corpses of the soldiers who died in the battle out of the camp tent, now it is a war, and people will die every day, so there will be a special place to bury people, Da Kui carried the body outside the village, and after asking the soldiers guarding the gate of the village, he carried the body to a dense forest outside the camp.
A carriage and horses came in front of him, and the soldier who drove the carriage saw that Da Kui was a captain, and hurriedly asked: "This eldest brother, I am specially pulling corpses, you can put him in the car,"
Da Kui asked, "Where is the mass grave," it turns out that whenever there is a war, there will be pits for burying the dead outside the camps of each army, and this pit does not necessarily bury many people, but it is collectively called mass graves, and it is far away from the camp to avoid the outbreak of plague,
The soldier looked back and said, "Turn the woods and you'll be there,"
"Oh, even so, I'll send it over, you go and get busy," said Da Kui, carrying the corpse and continuing to walk,
After passing through the forest, I saw more than ten people each sitting on the ground with shovels and pickaxes, and not far behind them was a big pit, and next to the pit was a hill-like mound of earth.
Seeing that a lieutenant personally sent the corpse, all the soldiers got up and came to pick it up, and the two sides did not speak, more than ten soldiers divided into two people and carried the corpse down the pit, Da Kui walked a few steps forward to the edge of the pit, only to see that the pit was full of corpses,
"How could so many people die," Da Kui not only asked in surprise,
A soldier sighed and said: "Big brother is new, how can you not die in this battle, there are two pits here, and now one has been filled, there are three thousand brothers in this pit, and the last pit is five thousand,"
Da Kui didn't ask again, he turned around and left with the knife in his hand, the autumn wind rose again, the yellow leaves were scattered, and he was a little lonely.
When I returned to the army, it was sunset and dusk, and I had not yet entered the gate of the village, only to see a large group of people and horses out of the camp, and nearly 10,000 people galloped east one after another.
Back to the Gangtou Army, Da Kui arranged the affairs of the Gangtou Army, did not cook again, but came to the fence of the former military camp alone, across the fence, Da Kui saw that the Ming Army sent hundreds of people to clean the battlefield in front of the tidal flats, some people specially pulled corpses, some people specially packed up flags and armor and other materials, these more than 100 people have an orderly division of labor, although they are busy but not messy, everything is in order,
In today's battle, the Yuan soldiers suffered more than 2,000 casualties, and the Ming army suffered hundreds of casualties.
"What are the Da Kui brothers looking at," Pang Heihu came behind him, Da Kui smiled and didn't speak,
Pang Heihu came to Da Kui's side and said, "Don't look at it, the hard battle is still to come,"
Da Kui looked at the river beach in the distance and asked, "This place is only a few miles away from the river beach, why don't the Yuan soldiers use artillery bombardment when they cross the river?"
Pang Heihu sighed: "The army is full of small cannons, and the cannons are all used in front of the marshal's tent,"
Da Kui pointed to the Guanchuan River and asked, "What is the depth of this river?"
Pang Heihu replied: "This river is turbulent, but the water here is slow and the river is shallow, so the Yuan soldiers chose to cross here, and our army camped here to resist the enemy," Pang Heihu said and couldn't help asking: "What are you asking for this?"
Da Kui shook his head lightly and said, "It's nothing, I estimate that as soon as Wang Baobao's army arrives, it will inevitably march with all its might,"
Pang Heihu didn't care, he reached out and grabbed the beard on his face and said, "The soldiers are coming to block the water and come to Tutun, I'm afraid of what will happen to him,"
"It's a pity that you are not allowed to drink alcohol in the army, otherwise it would be a good thing to have a few drinks with you," Da Kui smiled and licked his thirsty lips, thinking that he hadn't drunk for a few days, but he was a little greedy,
Pang Heihu couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, why did this good guy mention drinking, Da Kui said, Pang Heihu was also aroused by the wine worm, and immediately said: "When the battle is over, I will open a wine shop and live in it every day to drink, hehehe,"
While the two were talking, they saw a small boat rowing on the other side of the river, and there was only one captain and a Ming military captain on the small boat.
When the boat docked, the captain changed his horse and ran all the way to Dazhai of the Ming army.
"Brother Tang was grateful for the devastation of the lives and sent an envoy to the Yuanbing camp to deliver the war book," Pang Heihu sighed leisurely,
Hearing this, Da Kui couldn't help but ask: "Now is the time when the two sides are at war, how can you say that the war book is coming?"
Pang Heihu continued: "In such a battle, it is bound to be full of casualties, what Brother Tang means is that both sides will send their generals to fight, and the one who loses will withdraw from the battlefield,"
"What does it mean to withdraw from the battlefield," Da Kui was puzzled, and couldn't help but ask,
Pang Heihu looked at Da Kui and said: "If Brother Tang is defeated, he will retreat back to Qingyang, and if Wang Baobao is defeated, he will retreat back to Gongchang,"
