After a moment of relief, Battalion Commander Zhu Hou found his only remaining trumpeter and ordered him to blow the assembly call, he needed to wait for the commander-in-chief to have specific orders for the next step, and he believed that the headquarters dominated by the old commander would react immediately.

Sure enough, just as his team was almost assembled and the counting work was coming to an end, Zachdan's heralds arrived.

The herald commanded to Commander Hou, "According to the commander-in-chief's order, the 2nd Cavalry Battalion will immediately form a team and pursue the fleeing enemy cavalry units, and cooperate with the comrades of the reconnaissance battalion to bite the enemy's tail so that he cannot enter Jinzhou City." ”

Battalion Commander Hou thumped his chest and saluted, received the order, and then took his guards and battalion flags and ran along his cavalry array together.

While running, he looked for the company platoon commanders under his command, and gave orders to these company platoon commanders loudly.

However, when he finished running a lap, he found that there were only eight platoon commanders left under his command, and one of the four company commanders had also been lost, and the other four platoon commanders, as well as the company commander, until now, it is unknown whether they were injured or killed.

The queues of each company and platoon were of different lengths, and the ranks of the entire second cavalry battalion had become sparse and almost out of shape.

"Alas" sighed slightly in his heart, Battalion Commander Hou could only clean up his mood and cheer up, he had already seen a lot of dead and wounded, at this time, the military order was issued, and he had no time to be sad.

In accordance with the provisions of the military regulations on the transfer of command, several officers and non-commissioned officers with the highest rank and rank were temporarily appointed to temporarily serve as commanders of the team that had lost company and platoon commanders, thus supplementing the command system.

Although the current heavy losses in personnel, uneven staffing, and other aspects have damaged the combat effectiveness of their own cavalry.

However, they had just completed the first battle in which the army had fought against the enemy's large-scale cavalry, and they had won the battle with an absolute disadvantage in numbers, so now all the cavalry was showing great momentum.

According to the summary of the information obtained from all parties before, the Houjin army in Jinzhou City must be out this time.

If there is no mistake or omission in the information, the main force of the Houjin army in Jinzhou City has been defeated in the battle just now, and now, what you need to do is to destroy the enemy's living force as much as possible in the pursuit, and continue to expand the results.

At this time, the comrades-in-arms of the reconnaissance battalion sent back a battle report, and they found a group of Houjin clothed soldiers who did not ride war horses, but only dragged auxiliary tools.

These coated soldiers have always been used as cannon fodder for the Houjin army in field battles, but today is a cavalry duel, so they didn't come in handy at all.

The clothed soldiers failed to pose a threat to their own side in the field, but once they were let back, when defending the city, with the walls and defense facilities of Jinzhou City, they would definitely be able to cause certain casualties to the Lushun dispatch army.

Fortunately, they didn't have horses to ride, so they could still catch up, and Battalion Commander Hou decided to take the lead in eliminating these Houjin clothed soldiers, at least to eliminate these people outside Jinzhou City.

You must know that if there are only a few hundred demoralized Houjin Eight Banner cavalry left, these Jurchens, who are not good at defensive operations, will not be able to hold such a large city.

The midday sun was fierce, but the cold wind blew from time to time and made people shiver.

"It's a terrible march in the wilderness."

After a little grumbling, the ranks of the cavalry battalion regained their silence at the sound of a marching trumpet, and everyone marched in turn, pursuing them to the north.

Around the battlefield, the soldiers of the second infantry battalion of the third corps came and went, constantly shuttling on the battlefield.

At this moment, they were carrying their wounded and corpses to an open field outside the central battlefield.

There, there is already a temporary ambulance station set up by the logistics department, and those military doctors and medical soldiers are urgently treating their own personnel.

After first aid, the wounded who are unable to move for the time being are still cared for by special personnel, and there is no need to worry about the situation that the wounded cannot be treated in the field.

Although there is still a lack of many effective drugs due to the short development time of science and technology, with the help of Goldfinger, Chen Xin has trained a group of qualified medical personnel, as long as the wounds are properly cleaned, the survival rate of the wounded is still much higher than that of all other armies in this era.

"Poof" There was a sharp weapon into the flesh, and a veteran with the rank of non-commissioned officer stabbed a wounded soldier in the chest with a rifle bayonet.

The Houjin soldier clutched the blade of the bayonet exposed outside his chest, gasped for breath in pain, and finally stopped after squirming for a while.

The non-commissioned officer with the word He Ming written on the name tag didn't care about this, and stepped on the opponent's chest with a big grin, pulled out the bayonet, and the blood on the chest of the Houjin soldier spurted out violently as if it was being squeezed, and sprinkled on his shoes.

"Damn!" He Ming kicked out hard, right in the head of the wounded enemy soldier.

Sun Wang, who had just returned from transporting a wounded soldier from his own side with his comrades, asked in a humble manner, "This person is already dead, platoon leader, what are you kicking him for?" ”

"Lao Tzu is your commander, we won the war, and now Lao Tzu wants to kick him, what's wrong?"

He Ming's words obviously had an element of anger in them, and Sun Wang didn't refute it in the slightest, just smirked.

He Ming looked at his stupid fellow, he couldn't get out of fire, and he could only see it.

He bent down to carefully roll up his trouser legs, and then grabbed the sleeve of the woman's padded jacket that was obviously snatched from Da Ming in the Jin soldier's inner circle.

While wiping, he also explained in his mouth, "The knife just now was a little out of place, and the blood spurted out stained the pants that Lao Tzu had just changed." ”

After Sun Wang heard what he said, he didn't smile anymore, and he also came up and kicked a few times, He Ming glared at him and scolded, "Everyone is dead, what else do you kick." ”

Sun Wang's eyes were a little red, and he said angrily, "My sister also has a flower cotton jacket on this deflated calf thing." I, I miss my sister. ”

He Ming was silent for a while, there were too many people like Sun Wang in the army, he was already numb, and after a slight pause, He Ming asked, "Go and see if there are any people pretending to be dead in this area." ”

Sun Wang is also a good fool, when he heard the order, he touched the sweat on his forehead and immediately replied, "Oh, I've poked it all over again, and I promise that I didn't pretend to be dead." ”

"You're a shit, you're not slow." He Ming scolded, and Sun Wang just smirked.

"Okay, then change the next area, there is a shortage of manpower, so we will wait to do more work."

"Well, all right."

The two of them continued to get busy.
