Chapter 177 Heartache
Baduli gathered the Later Jin cavalry back and counted it. More than 150 cavalry did not come back. At this time, Muta beside Baduli asked, "Uncle, what should we do now?"
Baduli shook his head and said, "Although these Ming troops are very awkward in battle formations, their bravery is no less than those of our country's men. If you attack rashly and defeat them, I am sure that uncle will be defeated, but basically all the people here will be left here. Do you know that Muta, where did these Ming troops come from?"
Muta thought carefully and said to Baduli: "Look at this Ming army, it must be the elite of the Ming Kingdom, but it seems that he has never fought any wars. I think it is the army that defends the capital of the Ming Kingdom."
Baduli nodded in agreement and said, "This time my uncle brought you out, your knowledge has indeed improved very quickly. I guess this Ming army is the Imperial Guard next to the Emperor of Ming. They are well equipped, well-trained, and brave. They just have never fought any wars."
"So now you know what we should do. This time we entered the pass, it seemed that we forced the Emperor of Ming to be anxious and sent out all the imperial guards around us. But think about it, would there be so few imperial guards in Ming? So the Ming army opposite must be the vanguard of the imperial guards."
"So the main force of the Ming army that Master Beile dragged by him may not be the main force of the Ming army at all. There must be a large number of imperial guards behind them. Therefore, we are just temporarily dragging the Ming army on the other side and sending people to report this situation to Master Beile, so that he will not suffer any losses. As for Luanzhou City, Namutai is also a veteran, and he will definitely understand what to do."
Wu Shigong had no idea that the coach of the Later Jin army opposite had raised his Henan militia to the status of the Imperial Guard. Wu Shigong is also very nervous now and carefully stared at the every move of the Later Jin army.
Wu Shigong is now in pain. Not to mention the casualties of Yu Ji's phalanx, the cavalry of the squadron led by Xue Qiang alone lost more than fifty people. These people are all elite soldiers carefully trained by Wu Shigong, and they will be trained as officers of his own army in the future!
But this is not the most important thing. In the past, Wu Shigong kept hearing and seeing something, one thousand or eight hundred casualties, and he had no other feelings about these numbers. But now, Wu Shigong found that they were not numbers, they were living people! And they were brothers who lived with him day and night!
Whose sons, whose husbands, and whose fathers are these people? Among these fifty people, there are more than a dozen guards whom they brought out of the capital at that time. They were still laughing with their families under the south wall of the capital a month ago, but in just one month it became a perfect answer.
At this moment, the sound of vomiting came from Wu Shigong. It was Deng Qifan who saw the scene of death rushing and finally couldn't help but vomit.
The personal soldiers beside Deng Qifan immediately took out the kettle and gave it to Deng Qifan. After Deng Qifan took a few sips of clear water, he mocked Wu Shigong a little apologized and said: "The students thought they had great ambitions when they were young, so they dismounted the horse and started fighting the crazy beggar. But they didn't expect that they would do such a ridiculous thing when they were on the battlefield. They were really sorry to be the sir."
Only then did Wu Shigong realize that Deng Qifan and Zhizhi followed him and ran to the front line. Wu Shigong immediately said to the guards beside him: "You should send Mr. Deng and Zhizhi to the back, protect them, and do not let them suffer any damage."
Deng Qifan quickly shook his hand and refused and said, "It's okay! It's okay! I can attack the crazy beg, and I have no regrets in my life."
Just as Wu Shigong was about to persuade him again, he heard a huge gun shooting sound from Luanzhou City, and Qin Liangyu officially launched a general attack.
At the same time, a team of white-rod soldiers came from afar. They were five hundred reinforcements sent by Qin Liangyu who was afraid that Wu Shigong could not stop the Later Jin army.
Hearing the sound of artillery, he saw the white-rod soldiers coming to help. Baduli knew that he had no hope of supporting Luanzhou City. He was very decisive and immediately ordered to take the remaining 600 Later Jin troops towards Yongping City.
It was not until the Later Jin army of Baduli disappeared in the distance that Wu Shigong and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Shigong immediately jumped off his horse and ran towards the place where the death collision occurred.
At this time, the soldiers searching for the wounded had rescued three wounded people. Two of them were seriously injured, and the other was Wu Shigong's mascot - Yang Rusong. He miraculously only scratched a few places on the ground without any other injuries.
Wu Shigong didn't take two steps when he suddenly heard the soldiers searching for the wounded shouting: "Squadron Xue is still alive. Come and help him, he is suppressed by the horse."
Wu Shigong was delighted when he heard this. He immediately ran towards the direction he was calling. Wu Shigong saw Xue Qiang's lower body being pressed by his dead horse, but Xue Qiang was full of energy and kept urging: "Come on to move this horse away." Judging from Xue Qiang's appearance, there was definitely no danger in life. Wu Shigong gave him a breath.
The soldiers around him moved the dead horse aside and helped Xue Qiang, who was wearing 40-50 kilograms of iron armor, from the ground.
Wu Shigong asked with concern: "How is it?"
Xue Qiang replied with a smile: "It's okay. Just twist your feet and just take two steps."
Xue Qiang pushed the soldiers who were holding him around him away and turned towards Wu Shigong. But after walking for three or four steps, Xue Qiang immediately bent down and grabbed his right knee, screamed, and then leaned down. The soldiers beside him immediately stepped forward to support him, and Wu Shigong rushed over.
Wu Shigong grabbed Xue Qiang's hand tightly. Xue Qiang faced Wu Shigong. Although his voice was a little calm, tears turned in his eyes and said, "Son-in-law, the youngest one should have broken his legs."
Wu Shigong immediately looked at Xue Qiang's right leg and found that his entire right leg had actually changed. Wu Shigong quickly comforted Xue Qiang and said, "It's okay, just find a doctor to take a look. It will definitely be fine. Look, isn't Li Lu still jumping now?"
After hearing the comfort, Xue Qiang could only nod, but he still grabbed Wu Shigong's hand tightly with his hands. Wu Shigong quickly signaled to the soldiers beside him to cut down some branches and make a stretcher to carry Xue Qiang away.
At this moment, another soldier shouted: "Come quickly! Team Wei is still alive."
Everyone rushed there again. Wu Shigong squeezed into the crowd and saw that Wei Changlin, who was stabbed by the Later Jin soldiers, was still alive now. However, it was time for him to die.
When Wei Changlin saw Wu Shigong, his eyes immediately became bright and energetic. Wu Shigong knew that Wei Changlin had already returned. He quickly knelt down on one leg, leaned over to Wei Changlin, and said, "Changlin, do you have anything to say?"
Wei Changlin tried his best to lean up and said to Wu Shigong: "Lord..., son! son!"
Wei Changlin bought a woman after he wiped out the Holy Spirit and rebelled. Before the King's Army set out, the woman had just given birth to a son for him. Wu Shigong quickly replied: "Your family is my family. Your son is my son."
Wei Changlin felt relieved after hearing Wu Shigong's words. He lay down relaxed and murmured: "Mom, mom..." His voice became lighter and lighter, and finally he widened his eyes and no longer breathed.
The soldiers around him were sobbing, and Wu Shigong also felt particularly sore in the corners of his eyes.
At this moment, the sound of intelligent chanting scriptures came from behind Wu Shigong: "Namo, Amitabha, Dutagado, Dudiye, Amitabha, Amitabha, Amitabha, Jidanpapi..." Under the sunset, a halo flashed beside his figure, which seemed particularly solemn and solemn.
All the soldiers bowed their heads and observed silently while chanting scriptures. Until they had finished chanting the scriptures, everyone continued to walk.
Wu Shigong saw a horse on the side that broke one of his legs and neighed in pain. Wu Shigong pulled out the ribcage beside him, wanting to give the horse a pleasure. When the horse saw Wu Shigong's actions, it seemed as if it knew what Wu Shigong wanted to do. It screamed pitifully at Wu Shigong, with two big tears in its eyes.
At this moment, an officer asked Wu Shigong for advice: "Sir, how do you arrange these corpses?"
Wu Shigong thought about it, inserted the ribs back into the scabbard, and ordered: "The Tartars cut off their heads. We took them all back. Those who were in Guide Mansion were taken to Guide Mansion, and those who were in the capital were sent to the capital. All the dead horses were cremated and brought back to Guide Mansion to bury them. The injured horses were moved to the cart. Even if they were not used in the future, we would have to keep these horses for the rest of our lives."
At the end, it was counted that in this battle, more than 70 cavalry and musketeers in Wu Shigong were injured and killed, of which 62 were killed. And more than 150 were killed and 97 were killed in the military households in Yu Ji.
Yu Ji came to Wu Shigong and said to Wu Shigong with some shame: "Sir, I almost missed a big deal just now."
Although the military households suffered heavy losses, they were still quite grateful to Wu Shigong. Because Wu Shigong's cavalry used their lives to protect the safety of most people in the military households.
Wu Shigong smiled at Yu Ji and said, "You did a good job. In the end, your formation did not collapse. And you personally pressed the formation and did a very brave job. This soldier can be trained, but bravery is absolutely impossible."
