After the officers and soldiers broke through the defense line of the Qingtong River, they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue and advance to Chizhou, not because they did not want to, but because practical factors did not allow it, the soldiers and horses were exhausted from the whole day of fighting, and it was difficult to cross the water without a boat, and it was difficult to supply logistics, not to mention that the situation ahead was unclear and the late-night march was too dangerous.

So after Wang Tizhong and Jin Shenghuan took the position on the opposite bank, they stationed on the riverbank to rest and wait for the army to cross the river tomorrow. This night, the noise on both sides of the Qingtong River until the early hours of the morning gradually restored calm, and Tongling City is wailing endlessly, thousands of injured soldiers are waiting for treatment, summer wounds are easy to infect, if not timely disinfection and bandaging, it is easy to cause various inflammation and even death, but this day the fight is too fierce and there are too many injured soldiers, and Tongling is a small city doctor and less medical hall, and there are few wounded medicines, Lu Daqi mobilized the people of the whole city to donate wound medicine, wine and other items, Chang Yu personally went into battle to help the soldiers bandage and suture the wounds, until dawn and endlessly.

In the middle of the morning, thanks to the efforts of logistics and the people in the city overnight, most of the thousands of wounded soldiers were properly treated, and of course some were seriously injured and died.

Chang Yu's spirit was a little sluggish, and he was about to go to the Yamen to take a break, and the damage statistics sent by Lu Daqi showed that since the start of the army in Nanjing, the officers and soldiers have killed a total of 2,160 people and wounded more than 4,200, of which more than 1,100 were seriously wounded.

Yesterday alone, he killed more than 3,000 enemies in a one-day battle with Bai Wang, captured two artillery pieces, 1,000 mules, horses, cattle and sheep, 400 stones of grain and grass, thousands of knives, guns, bows and arrows, and 63 stone throwing machines.

This statistic made Chang Yu ponder, this casualty rate was not low at all When fighting against the Tartars in Gyeonggi, Bai Wang's combat power could not be compared with the cavalry of the Tartars, but he made the best use of the terrain, thus leveling the gap in combat power.

And that's just a regular field battle, if it's a siege...... Chang Yu couldn't help but sigh.

"The weather is hot today, and our army's strength has not recovered, can we delay the dispatch of troops?" Lu Daqi saw the little eunuch's solemn face, so he asked tentatively.

Chang Yu frowned, he was also entangled at this time, it stands to reason that the soldiers should take advantage of Bai Wang's lack of preparation to advance to Chizhou quickly, but yesterday's all-day fighting did make the army tired, and the hot weather would cause the army to complain if it was to march urgently, not to mention whether the tired soldiers could play any role.

"Have you started crossing the river?" Chang Yu tapped the table thoughtfully, and Lu Daqi hurriedly said: "It's started, I've made nearly a hundred rafts and collected dozens of boats, at this time, Xu Guogong and others are leading their troops to cross the river, and the rest are waiting."

Chang Yu smiled slightly when he heard this: "Xu Guogong has been very positive recently, it seems that he didn't go back to the city to rest last night" Lu Daqi nodded: "In order to appease the morale of the army and boost morale, last night, including Xu Guogong and other generals, did not return to the city and sleep in the field with the soldiers overnight."

"After the war, the army is tired and unstable, and it is the duty to comfort the generals" Chang Yu snorted: "Order the troops to cross the river first and send troops, and send scouts south to reconnoitre."

After Lu Daqi left, Chang Yu went back to the room to prepare for a break, when Chen Ruxin asked in a low voice outside: "Dugong, Guan Ren is back, do you want to see him?" ”

Chang Yu, who was already lying on the bed, turned over and got up: "Let him come over."

Guan Ren's expression was a little lonely, and when he saw Chang Yu, he knelt down: "The subordinates are incompetent and failed to break through the defense line of the mountain bandit army, and they have broken the face of the guards and asked the governor to punish them."

Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and hurriedly helped him up: "What are you talking about, the deep mountains and old forests have been lurking for several days, and the hard work of this governor must be clear to anyone, and if it weren't for your department to contain the thief army on the mountain, the soldiers on the battlefield below may not be able to break through the thief army's defense line so easily. ”

Hearing him say this, Guo Ren breathed a sigh of relief and slowly stood up: "The humble duty was on duty in the mountains last night to prevent the thieves from attacking and harassing the army, and I didn't speak to the governor this night, and I was not at all down-to-earth in my heart, for fear that others would make irresponsible remarks."

Chang Yu motioned for him to sit down, and sighed slightly: "Since Taiyuan, you have followed our family, we have been fighting side by side for most of the past half a year, we are almost inseparable, our family has never had absolute trust in you for no reason, and you have never disappointed our family, you are not only responsible for our family's security but also have repeatedly performed miraculous feats on the battlefield, our family has thought that it is time to give you a future."

"The Duke" stood up tenaciously and arched his hand: "The lowly post doesn't want any future, as long as you can stay by the Governor's side to serve, and the lowly post doesn't want any military exploits and doesn't blush who is promoted because of merit, the lowly post can follow the Dugong wholeheartedly, and I hope that the Dugong will not give up!" ”

It's not that he has no desire or desire, it can only be said that he has seen it thoroughly, he was originally an archer under Zhou Yuji, and because of his superb archery skills, Chang Yu favored him and became one of the three commanders of the guard. This is already a smooth step for an ordinary soldier, and for him, being a personal guard commander next to the big boss of Dongchang is far more valuable and rewarding than being a general in the army, and the treatment is much higher than that of ordinary generals, and more importantly, he knows his own pounds and pounds, and he is comfortable as a personal guard, but his military talent is really ordinary, even if he has Chang Yu's special care and promotion, he is not worthy of the position.

Although Chang Yu didn't know what Guo Ren thought in his heart, his words sounded quite moving, so he got up and patted Guo Ren on the shoulder: "In the future, our family's head will be tied to your trouser belt."

"I will never give up my humble position!" Guo Ren was excited, and Chang Yu asked again: "How many brothers have you lost?" ”

"He led two hundred brothers into the mountain, and one hundred and forty-two returned, losing fifty-eight brothers, of which twenty-six were from the Black Tiger Battalion." In a soft voice, Chang Yu nodded slightly: "No wonder Tu Yuan's face turned black to the bottom of the pot, as if someone owed him a few pennies."

"This matter, turn around and humbly go to accompany Commander Tu for a ......" Guan Ren lowered his head and sighed, Chang Yu raised his eyebrows: "How can there be immortals in a war, and it is not you who kills it, you can compensate for it, if he has a fire in his heart, let him come over and send it to Bendu!" ”

Tu Yuan was really pressed in his heart, a few days ago, he sent the most elite fifty soldiers from the Black Tiger Battalion to participate in the battle, and when he came back, he was broken in half, which was the biggest loss in the four battalions, which made him feel distressed and lose face, and the fire in his heart was blazing, and he always wanted to find someone to vent.

Of course he didn't dare to find Chang Yu, so he could only find the situation, although he knew that this kind of thing was no wonder to him, but who let him lead the team.

"Why can't I see the figure of the tenacious person, Lao Tzu will definitely beat him up when he touches him!" Under the shade of the trees on the bank of the Qingtong River, Tu Yuan looked at the Nanjing soldiers who were crossing the water in the distance, and said viciously with a gloomy face.

Jia Waixiong glanced at him: "What's in the way of other people's conditions, if you can't get rid of the anger in your heart, go and kill a few more thieves."

"That is, besides, Guo Ren is the commander of the governor's personal guards, not to mention that if you beat him and the governor will not punish you, even those personal guards under him will not follow you" Lao Jiu also persuaded her.

How do you know that Tu Yuan was even more angry when he heard this: "What's wrong with his subordinates' personal guards, is it possible that the hundreds of people in my Black Tiger Battalion can't kill dozens of them?" ”

"Oh, I'll be obedient" Jia Waixiong and Lao Jiu glanced at each other and couldn't help but shake their heads: "I dare to gather a crowd to fight!" I said Boss Tu, you take it easy, don't make a big deal out of it, you can't beat you alone, but those masters around the overseer who have a good relationship with him will not let you do it, and they will even stand up for him, although you are powerful on the battlefield, you are really not their opponent in the fight, not to mention Wu Zhong's fight, you may not have done it with Chen Sole and his brothers! ”

"I, Wu Zhong's old man admits that he can't kill him, but I'm really not scared to beat the Chen family brothers" Tu Yuan snorted, Lao Jiu laughed: "Boss Tu, you have a fire in your heart to beat anyone, or go and beat the Chen family brothers, I bet fifty taels of silver to bet on you to win."

"I'll bet 100 on you to lose!" Jia Waixiong snorted, and Tu Yuan was immediately enraged: "Damn, go forward, by the way, where are the two brothers?" ”
