Chapter 469: Casualties of the Tiger Ben Army......

Brother Wei suddenly said to the side: "Meng Xia, what is a good thing?" ”

Meng Xia's voice said, "It's nothing."

Liu Mang hurriedly turned around, jumped three times and jumped twice, came to Meng Xia's side, directly reached out and took the short knife, took a closer look, and found that it was not much different from the other two short knives. In fact, the three short knives, except for the gold inlays on them, nothing else is special. If you want to talk about the sharpness, it may not be as sharp as the dagger carried by a sniper.

In fact, the weapons of the Tartars are far less refined than those of the Han people. In fact, they have always been very fond of using Han Chinese weapons, except for bows and arrows. In fact, even weapons such as bows and crossbows are much better made by the Han people. It is only because the Han people have always been influenced by strange skills and do not pay attention to craftsmen that it will lead to the stagnation of technology. It is rumored that there are many Tartar bows and arrows, but they are actually made by the Han people in Liaodong.

"What are you guys doing? You don't need to clean up the battlefield, go back to eat, and go to rest quickly! What doesn't belong to you, all the things you hand over to the sonorous battalion, don't play boring! ”

Lu Yidian's voice came from afar.

Several of them hurriedly withdrew from the pile of dead people.

Liu Mang looked at the three golden short knives in his hand, and he was really a little reluctant. However, there is no way, if this thing is hidden, it will definitely be punished. While looking forward to rewarding himself with such a short knife in a few days, he reluctantly handed over the three golden short knives to Su Yi, the team leader of the Kengzi Battalion.

Na Su is also a well-known witty figure in the whole army, and he also knows Liu Mang. When Liu Mang first joined the Tiger Ben Army, he served as a soldier under him. Regarding Liu Mang's personality, Su is naturally clear. Seeing Liu Mang handing over three golden short knives, Su Yi said with an exaggerated smile: "Liu Mang, have you found ten?" Only three handfuls? ”

Liu Mang's face suddenly turned red, and he said anxiously: "Old captain, do you think I am such a backward element? I'm not going to hide the loot! Brother Wei didn't want to turn it in, or did I mobilize him to hand it over obediently, we can't make mistakes, right? ”

Su Yi smiled and shook his head. You rascal, what is your nature, I don't know? What mobilized Brother Wei to mobilize and turn it in, it really sounds good, and it's almost the same upside down. However, he had a lot of things to do, and he didn't have time to talk to Liu Mang, so he took over the three golden short knives in a proper manner, and then registered them on the record, and finally said: "Okay." ”

Liu Mang glanced at the three golden short knives again, and then reluctantly went.

Su Yi looked at Liu Mang's back, smiled and shook his head. This kid, if you seize three golden short knives and all three of them are automatically handed in, you will really make some progress. The Tiger Benjun is really a melting pot, and even this kid's ideological consciousness has improved, which is really not simple. After his ideological consciousness really improved, this guy was indeed a good hand at killing enemies.

Subconsciously looked back at the three golden short knives, and Su also found that these three golden short knives were indeed the most valuable trophies in the entire battlefield. Ordinary tartars have basically nothing of value on them. Most of the trophies collected so far are weapons such as knives, guns, bows and arrows. The tiger is not available in the military, and there is probably no one to sell it to others. There are helmets, armor, wrist pads, knee pads, leg pads and the like, but unfortunately, the Tiger Army is not equipped with armor, so these things are not used, they can only be collected and disposed of as scrap iron.

It is more suitable for leather products such as leather clothing, leather boots, and leather hats of Tartars. Due to the geographical location, the quality of the fur on the Tartar is still very good. Especially the animal skins on those white-armored soldiers and red-armored soldiers, the quality is very good. Either bearskins, tiger skins, and the worst ones are otter skins. After it is gathered, it is handed over to a professional for reprocessing, and it is a new fur coat.

"Brothers! Hurry up! ”

"Everyone hurry up and clear out the battlefield, otherwise there will be no place for the Tartars in the back!"

"We greet the tartars most warmly, don't invite them to stand, don't invite them to sit, just ask them to lie down! Lie down comfortably! ”

Su Yi clapped his palms vigorously and shouted loudly.

The soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield couldn't help but laugh when they heard him shouting like this, and they were naturally very energetic in their work. However, there are too many Tartar corpses on the battlefield, as well as the corpses of rebels, and two people have to carry one corpse several times back. However, by this time, it was already completely dark, and it was necessary to light torches to work, so the speed was naturally slower.

Zhang Zhun stood outside the city gate, holding a clairvoyant mirror, examining the situation around him. Night has completely fallen, and the moon has come out. The moonlight in early July is only a small point, and the moonlight is very faint. Because it's faint, it looks extraordinarily cold.

Judging from the date, it should be early autumn, the climate is still very hot, and everyone's military clothes in the Tiger Army are actually soaked. However, whether it was the soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield or the soldiers who were in charge of standing guard, their expressions were very excited, and the sweat on their bodies continued to flow. For them, winning battles is the best stimulant.

"Your Excellency."

Zhang Zhun suddenly heard someone calling him behind him.

Looking back, it turned out to be the old man Mao Shunjiang.

"Something?"

Zhang Zhun said suspiciously.

"My lord, they all want to come out and see...... By the way......"

The old man Mao Shunjiang said pleadingly.

"See? Help? ”

Zhang Zhun was stunned, and then understood.

When Mao Shunjiang said about them, he should be referring to those people in the city. During the battle just now, they had been hiding in the cave, not knowing what was going on outside. Now that the battle is over, I must have heard that there were corpses of Tartars outside, so I wanted to come out and take a look, which is also the meaning of verifying. Probably many people still don't believe that all three of Tartar's bulls have been destroyed.

"Okay!"

"Come out!"

Zhang Zhun said briskly.

"Great!"

The old man Mao Shunjiang was overjoyed, hurriedly expressed his gratitude, and then went happily.

After a while, Mao Shunjiang, Chen Guoxi, Shi Zhenshan and other old men came out of the city with the thousand people. As a result, as soon as they left the city, they were shocked by the scene in front of them. Everyone rushed up to see more clearly by the light of the fire and the moonlight. Obviously, they really didn't expect that there would be so many Tartar corpses outside the city.

"It's really a big army of Tartars!"

"So many tartars...... I've never seen so many Tartar corpses in Liaodong...... Which of you has seen it? ”

"I haven't seen it. I've seen the most Tartar corpses at one time, just over thirty. In order to destroy these more than 30 Tartars, more than 200 of our brothers died, and our commander was also killed. ”

There were a lot of people there who couldn't help but mumble to themselves. Many of these people, either themselves or their parents, have been to Liaodong and fought with the Tartars. They have heard a lot about the cruelty of the Tartars, and they have seen a lot. The Ming army fought with the Tartars, not to say that the Tartars were never destroyed. It's just that every time the Ming army destroys the Tartars, it is either a few, or dozens, if it is hundreds, it will be a great victory. And in order to eliminate the Tartars, the Ming army itself often had to pay several times the losses of the Tartars.

However, outside the city of Huang County, what they saw were hundreds of Tartar corpses. The Tartars lay there in different positions, apparently too dead to be able to die anymore. These ferocious Tartars were like wolves and tigers in Liaodong, and only seven or eight Ming troops could change them to one Tartar. But in front of the Tiger Army, it seems to be as fragile as tofu dregs. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed anything.

"Lord Governor, we ...... Are there many casualties? ”

A man asked Zhang Zhun curiously.

"Our casualties...... Yang Qianqiang, how many casualties do we have? Are there any statistics? ”

Zhang Zhun raised his voice and shouted.

"My lord, we have not been killed or wounded by the Tartars. It's that there are two fighters in the artillery battalion who were accidentally burned by the Flying Dragon Cannon. With the medicine, there should be no major problems. ”

Yang Qianqiang replied loudly beside him.

"Ah, two people are burned."

Zhang Zhun said casually to the people.

"Huh? Just two people burned ......."

"Kill so many Tartars ......"

Folks, look at me, I look at you, I don't know what to say. After killing three Niu Lu's Tartars, only two of the Tiger Benjun themselves were injured, and they were accidentally burned. If you talk about it, you will definitely be regarded as crazy. They are standing here on the battlefield now, and they all feel very absurd, let alone the crowd in the rear.

At the beginning of the battle, the hearts of these people were still up and down. After all, the combat effectiveness of the Tartars is obvious to all, and there is no particularly tall and strong city wall in Huangxian County, which cannot stop the attack of the Tartars at all. In case the Tiger Ben army can't support it, and really let the Tartars break into the city, they, the people, will definitely suffer the slaughter of the Tartars. Therefore, they cannot but worry.

Now, they don't have any worries anymore. So many Tartars were completely wiped out before they got close to the walls of Huang County. Even if the number of Tartars is several times higher, it will not be able to break through Huang County. Since the Tartars could not break through Huangxian, it was unlikely that they would want to enter Laizhou Mansion. This mission, which was originally considered very risky, has instead become a capital that can be shown off to others in the future. Hehe, it's very rare to be able to see so many Tartar corpses!

"Let's all go and help!"

"Help the Tiger Army clear the battlefield as soon as possible!"

Mao Shunjiang shouted loudly.

The men excitedly stepped forward to help clear the battlefield. With so many Tartar corpses to carry, they didn't feel troublesome at all, but felt energetic. It's not easy to see so many Tartar corpses. If it were in Liaodong, such a victory would be absolutely incredible. According to the calculation of fifty taels of silver for the first level of each tartar, three Niulu tartars are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver!

"My lord, do you want to cut off the head of the tartar?"

Yang Qianqiang came up to ask for instructions.

Zhang Zhun shook his head.

Not necessarily.

No matter how many Tartars he kills, no one will reward him, so what do you want the head of the Tartar to do?

It wasn't until late in the evening that all the battlefields were cleared. Counting the battlefield, there were a total of 633 corpses of rebels and 849 corpses of Tartars. Since there are a considerable number of corpses that cannot be distinguished, these two numbers, perhaps forty or fifty, are added to be the accurate number of enemies destroyed. All the loot seized at the scene was also transferred.

Yang Qianqiang came up again to ask for instructions on what to do with the corpse of the Tartar. In the war at that time, there were only two ways to dispose of the corpses of the enemy. One is to bury in situ. One is to pile it up and burn it. Since there are too many corpses of the enemy, no matter which way to deal with it, it is a big project!

"Find a place, dig a big hole, and bury it!"

Zhang Zhun said slowly.

With so many Tartar corpses placed in the field, it is definitely not possible. The weather is hot, and the corpses will decompose quickly, and the battlefield must be cleaned up as soon as possible, otherwise, the smell of corpses alone can suffocate the entire Huang County. The stench from the incineration of corpses can also be suffocating. Besides, it is impossible to find so much firewood to waste at once. It is better to dig a pit and bury it.

"Understood!"

Yang Qianqiang arranged for personnel to go.

As a result, the 1,000 people were gathered together, temporarily moved, found a place outside the south gate of Huang County, dug a few big pits, and then pushed the corpses forward and covered them with soil. In order to prevent wild wolves or wild boars from digging out the carcasses and dragging them everywhere, Yang Qianqiang asked that the pit be dug very deep, and the carcass was covered with at least a zhang of soil.

After instructing Yang Qianqiang, Zhang Zhun returned to the city. By this time, it was almost midnight. The moonlight in the sky is even colder. The hot nights are getting cooler. The sea breeze blowing from Laizhou Bay is constantly blowing from the north, taking away the smell of heat and gunsmoke. In addition to the soldiers on duty, the other troops of the Tiger Ben Army have already fallen asleep.

The whole Huang County still sounds very quiet, only knowing that it is constantly chirping. These people seem to know that summer is coming and autumn is coming, and they can't scream for a few days, so they all scream desperately. The sentinels on duty have one more task, and that is to find out. They were to remove everything that was known around the barracks, so as not to disturb the sleep of the soldiers.

Even though it was midnight, Zhang Zhun still had a lot of things to do.

First of all, there was the combat arrangement of the cavalry.

When he returned to Yunfengju, the commanders of the three cavalry battalions, Yang Weiguo, Zhong Wuying, and Liu Jixiang, were waiting here for his battle arrangements. The daytime battle, without their share, they listened on the outside, and their hearts itched. After receiving Zhang Zhun's order, they hurried over to see if something good happened to them.
