Chapter 300 Captured
Chapter 300 Winning
"Four people were killed in battle, seven were injured, and eight horses were lost.
The captives captured Jin soldiers and supplies, food and supplies... Eighteen pairs of armor, five hundred and forty-six swords were used, and countless other weapons were used, including 360 war horses, eighty-six injured horses, and one hundred pack horses, and the rest were used as war horses...
After dawn, we chased the enemy for ten miles, and planned to kill the enemy's heads at level 564, and captured 866 Jin soldiers alive, including three Jin soldiers and hundreds of households, and the remaining fifteen generals and schoolmen at all levels. The heads of the enemy's vanguard, Heshilie Chier were captured by General Du... The other heads of the Jin soldiers with official ranks are being identified..."
It was the afternoon of the second day. After the rain, the weather was as clear as everyone's mood. It was so bright. Listening to the yin and yang of the soldiers, thinking about the gains after the war, although everyone seemed to have rolled out of the mud, their faces were full of red. Zhang Fengju and Du Shanhu had just returned from chasing the escaped enemy, holding a bowl of ginger soup, but their mouths never closed.
"Sir, this is a great victory. With more than a thousand soldiers of our army, we captured countless food, grass and supplies from the enemy. We beheaded more than a thousand, and we defeated the enemy twice. The casualties were so slight... Sir, I am really a god..." Duan Rui was the most calm among these people, but in this excitement, he shook his head and spoke first.
"Sir, if you didn't let the pursuit of ten miles, the men still have the strength to chase after him. None of the Jin soldiers could escape. This battle was so fucking good..."
"That's right, sir, if you chase after you ten miles more, wouldn't it be..."
"What do you know? His Highness the King of Wei almost made a dirty face in Jiezhou. Our Jingzhao Army has recently formed an army, but it is unstoppable. If we get rid of it, where will the faces of the town army be put? It would be better to stop when we see it. Anyway, the credit has been made, and it is all real. There may be many Jin soldiers behind it. There is no need to let the men take risks. The brigade commander is thinking carefully. This is the demeanor of the general. We cannot compare..." Du Shanhu was considered a long-time general among these people, and his words largely hit Zhao Shi's thoughts.
Zhao Shi waved his hand. He was a serious person. Although he was happy in his heart, he could not see any of his face. Everyone nodded and said yes. While smiling, they all praised him secretly. It turned out that he was a general. Before such great achievements, he could still be as calm as ever. This calmness alone was not comparable to that of others.
"Shanhu is right. Hu Li and others have already found out. More than 20,000 Jin soldiers are no more than forty miles away from us. If we march in a hurry, we will arrive in one day. If you chase us again, you will chase us into the camp.
But you don’t have to worry. The Jin soldiers are moving very slowly for some reason. They have only walked more than ten miles a day. I guess they will not be able to reach our place even if they pass tomorrow. Everyone is repairing here for one night and preparing to withdraw their troops tomorrow..."
"Retreat?" Everyone was a little surprised. After a big victory, the soldiers were in full swing. Although there were more enemy soldiers. But if they were prepared according to the previous method, they might be able to gain some advantage.
Zhao Shi explained lightly: "A thousand enemies hurt, eight hundred of them will hurt themselves. There are only so many troops in our Jingzhao Army. I brought them to make achievements, not to die. With this victory at the bottom, there is no need to be greedy for me and make progress. After that, everyone will restrain me so that others can avoid gossiping us.
Also, it is enough to capture the Jin soldiers and leave two hundred. The rest of the people broke their legs and stayed here. Any Jurchens broke their legs, and the Han people kept their mercy, just one leg. It’s not that I want to sweep your interest, but I don’t know whether this contribution is a good or bad thing. You should know the abilities of your own military soldiers. If someone says that our Jingzhao Army is an elite elite in the land, and let our Jingzhao Army rush into the enemy, do you think we can still return to the capital?"
He poured his head and poured a basin of cold water down. Everyone calmed down their smiles, and the few soldiers' faces turned a little pale and broke their legs. Isn't this adult crazy? These captured Jin soldiers are all creditworthy. I heard that they are competing for merit, but I haven't heard that anyone has hidden the credit yet?
"Master of the Travels, you're right, but let's be careful in the future. There is no need to throw away the credit you have received. Once the eight hundred prisoners go to the commander, the brothers will almost all be promoted to the level of their ability..."
"Sir, Lao Du's words are reasonable. It really makes people feel sorry for losing the credit for losing the credit." However, Zhang Feng gathered. Most of these captives were the credit for his and Duan Rui's troops. The Feng-Battle camp was matched with the best war horses of the Jingzhao Army. When they rushed forward, they were unable to compare with their two battalions, so there were very few beheadings, and they could only collect some prisoners behind them. If they were to lose them, he felt sorry for them.
At this time, Yang Sheng also spoke, but those from the capital family viewed the problem very differently from those of Du Shanhu and others: "Sir, someone had already made some noise about the matter in Wanquan County last time. If you abuse the prisoners again this time, I'm afraid you will give someone a handle, so it's better..."
Speaking of this, the aristocratic family showed a fierce look on their faces. They looked at everyone, then made a powerful gesture and said: "These surrendered soldiers led us to slow down our marches. If they were caught up by the Jin soldiers, it would be troublesome. If they could not let them go, they might as well be beheaded on the spot. The same is true for us to use their heads to exchange military merits. Here are all confidants of the adults. I believe that no one will tell them what to cause trouble for the adults..."
Although he said that he believed that no one would cause trouble, his eyes that had become particularly fierce had confided several soldiers. Killing surrendered prisoners without permission is also a crime in the army, but as long as there is a good reason to get rid of the excuse, it would be fine. However, after all, it would be better to let the people present keep their mouths tight and just pretend that it had not happened.
Several soldiers were so angry that they were staring at him that they quickly said, "We will do whatever the adults decide. We will never dare to say anything more."
Du Shanhu and Duan Rui looked at Yang Sheng with a few slanted eyes. Yang Sheng and Zhe Mu are very good-looking. The friendship between colleagues is getting more and more harmonious. They talk to Du Shanhu and other leaders without any hesitation. Over time, these people all think that these aristocratic families may not be all arrogant. Aren’t these two people in front of them good?
When it came to this truth, several people realized that none of these aristocratic families were easy to mess with. This vicious heart and delicate mind alone were not comparable to them.
Zhe Mu continued with a smile: "Sir, you think about the long-term is something I feel ashamed of, but then again, we made great contributions this time. Think about it, how many prisoners were captured in the battle under Jiezhou City? How many people were captured? How many soldiers were they? How many of them were? How many of them were we? Once this credit was made, His Highness the King of Wei... It is hard to say, but we made great contributions this time. Some people who want to make bad-minded people have to think about whether he can bear the charge of being jealous of the virtuous and capable? Will he still want to stay in the army in the future?
We are many of our Yulin Army’s children. It would be great if we don’t bully others if we make contributions. Can we still let others bully them?”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and thought to themselves, this is what a playboy should do. Yang Sheng pretends to be a good person on weekdays, so you have to pay more attention to talking to him in the future.
Zhao Shi laughed and at most, these people guessed half of his thoughts, but they didn't get anything. Zhe Mu's words were something he didn't expect.
"Okay, look at your stingy look, you look like a group of complacent businessmen, Li Cunyi, I've given this errand to you. I've taught people to hold wooden sticks. I can't kill them, but I can't let them stand up and walk within three months..."
After hearing what he said, everyone was solemn. Although it was only a few months ago, the Jingzhao Army knew Zhao Shi's rules very well. Speaking like this means there is no room for negotiation, which is the final order.
"Pick up food, grass and supplies to take the useful ones, burn the remaining fire, and put away all the weapons. The captured horses will be picked up by two hundred good ones, and the rest will be handed over. This time the reward is indispensable, but each person has to take out half of them and hand them over to the families of the brothers who died in battle. It is a private pension given by our Jingzhao Army. In the future, the same is true..."
Every time he said something, everyone below frowned and looked extremely distressed, but Zhao Shi continued to say: "Tell Hu Li and the others, let them follow the Jin soldiers behind them. The most important thing is... see how these wounded soldiers deal with them, and then give them a reward soon..."
