Chapter 176: Never Forget

"Isn't there still Zhao Lian, I have explained to him in advance, after annihilating the Xia army, I will leave this place to the Linzhou army and the Fuzhou army to clean up, and the loyal and brave army and the rest of the troops will rush to the front line of Mingtang River at full speed after resting for a day!" Zhao Ta says./

"Lord Wang, no, Master He and Daguan Huang have repeatedly explained, you are not allowed to go to the front, you still stay here, go with the army, I will go and arrest Brother Cha and dedicate it to the prince's tent!" At this time, Zhao Lian hurried over and stopped the prince.

"What's not going to work, haven't we all discussed it?" Zhao Ta squeezed his eyes and said to Zhao Lian, meaning to let him cover up.

"No, Lord Wang, you ran away in a smoke, when the two old gentlemen look for me, how should I deal with it?" Unexpectedly, Zhao Lian didn't buy it, and his head shook as if he had eaten ecstasy.

"Okay, you are really my good subordinates, you don't worry about the Lord, but you are trying to block me!" Zhao Ta was so angry that he jumped to his feet and shouted with a horsewhip on the heads of the two people.

"Lord Wang, you are angry, it's not that we are unreasonable, it's really your status is precious, even ten Cha Ge can't exchange for one of you, Cha Ge runs away, we can catch it again, if you are gone, we can't live, and our loyal army will be scattered!" Zhao Lian is a good way to make peace with the mud, while helping the prince to sit down and persuade with a smile, he gestured to Zhao Xin, and asked him to quickly persuade the prince.

"Second master, you see it's dark, you haven't eaten dinner yet, Brother Cha has nowhere to eat, others are sleepy and tired, and then gather the remnants of the soldiers, and those who are unfamiliar with life and can't run far, let's rest for a day." I'm sure I'll be able to catch up with him. I'll finish cooking noodles for you first! Zhao Xin pinched the prince's shoulders and comforted him with kind words.

"Yes, yes, the prince must be hungry, I'll go over there first, I'll leave it to you here, those people are red-eyed, don't chop up those captives!" Zhao Lian said with a smile.

"That's right, you know how much money I lost, Proton Army, those are the children of the great nobles of the Xia Kingdom. Running one is a loss! Zhao Ta said bitterly, "Remember, the craftsmen of the Xia Army, whether they are human doctors and veterinarians, must live, and those people in the Poxi Army must also keep their bodies alive, and the dead of the Proton Army must also be preserved." The things on the body cannot be moved, and the prisoners are not allowed to dispose of them at will, otherwise the military law will be involved, as well as the horses and property must be disposed of uniformly, and no personal interests shall be hidden..."

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I understand, I will do it!" Zhao Lian is stupid, the prince didn't care about Brother Cha's life or death./ He is crazy about money and crime, and he got into the eyes of money, and if he continues, I'm afraid he will have to pick up the arrows on the ground one by one!

"Remember, don't forget, I'm optimistic about you!" Zhao Ta told uneasily.

"Okay, the prince can wait with peace of mind..."After listening to the prince's words, Zhao Lian almost fell off the horse, if this transaction is lost, the prince must not sell him. He slipped away as soon as he grabbed the horse's belly.

"Zhao Xin, you go and keep an eye on it, I don't feel at ease with him, he doesn't like Zhao Ren to be in charge, don't waste all the good things!" Zhao Ta turned his face and said to Zhao Xin again.

"Don't go. I'll have to keep an eye on you, or you'll run away in the blink of an eye. We're gone! Zhao Xin laughed for a while, it turned out that the first criterion for the prince to select officers was to see if he would be in charge, so is his criterion for choosing a wife also this?

......

Although it was dark, the battle continued, this time the iron harriers became cannon fodder, dying in front of them, covering everyone to cross the river, others may not be able to do it, but the loyal warriors have a way, never to engage them in hand-to-hand combat, but from a long distance with a continuous spear, bullets may not be able to penetrate their armor, but the horses cannot be tightly wrapped, at least their four legs are still exposed.

As long as the horse is injured, the rider on the horseback becomes a tin man who cannot walk an inch, the lucky can be rescued by his companions, and the unfortunate can only live and die with the horse, and the iron rope fixed on the body is not so easy to untie, so the loyal warriors only sent a battalion of men and horses to contain them. The iron harriers couldn't catch up, and they couldn't reach it, so they were so angry that they smoked, and after leaving a bunch of corpses of people and horses, they watched the prince cross the bridge safely and prepare to cross the river. …,

At the beginning of the bridge, there was a proton army to maintain order, they were born in the nobility, their status is not low, most of them are still the heirs of the family, it is glory to be the royal guard, and it is also a hostage in disguise, if the family rebels, they are the first to die. Because of the prestige of the past, everyone did not dare to fight with them, as soon as they crossed the bridge, they immediately messed up the camp, the sound of killing is getting closer and closer, the people around them are injured by stray bullets and arrows from time to time, the prince has run away, they still pretend to be loyal ministers, so they rushed to the bridge, and changed a good pontoon bridge into a swing!

He who has no horse cannot rob the one who rides it; The short ones were pressed under the tall ones as stepping stones; The older one was kicked into the river by the younger one; The weak jumped directly into the river; When the strong meet, they can only fight with knives. Iron Harriers, who dare to provoke these masters, can't afford to provoke, they are all arrows can't penetrate, knives can't cut into the master, as soon as they get on the bridge, the people on the bridge have become small dumplings, one by one jumped into the river. Don't jump!? Hehe, a knife will chop you down, and the horse's hooves will kick you down, but this guy of more than 800 pounds can only walk slowly on the rickety bridge, and the people behind him are still coming, so there are countless floating corpses in the river...

The addition of the Loyal Warriors and the Hezhou Army completely upset the balance on the battlefield. Xia Jun, the prince slipped away first, Jingsai Military Division asked to surrender, the chief of the Shen Yong Army Division was nowhere to be found, and the commander of the Jianing Military Division died in battle and was a child who had no mother's care, the command system has completely failed, the generals on the battlefield could not find soldiers, soldiers could not find generals, conflicts back and forth, scattered and fled. The cavalry of the Loyal Warriors lined up in a tight formation and pushed from east to west, while the cavalry of Hezhou, Lanshi Road, and Zelu Road scattered throughout the battlefield drove from the north and south.

The living space was constantly compressed, and some of the Xia soldiers also showed a fierce character of not fearing death, they spontaneously gathered together, did trapped beast fights, and launched desperate attacks again and again, although they caused casualties to the Song army, but it was only a small splash in the big river, which was soon covered by the huge waves set off by the horses' hooves and drowned in the darkness. More people rushed around in a panic, trying to find a way out, the pontoon bridge became the Nai He Bridge in the Yin and Yang world, that side is life, this side is death, the garrison who crossed the bridge first saw that the lights of the Song army were getting closer and closer, and cut the iron cable ruthlessly, and thousands of people on the bridge accompanied the pontoon bridge or sank to the bottom of the river or went east with the big river... The Xia soldiers, who had lost the most hope for the future, had only one way to surrender except to jump into the river, and the miserable cries, desperate shouts, and curses echoed up and down the river, and the misery in the world was nothing more than this!

......

When the moon was still hanging in the west and the sun was rising in the east, the statistics of the results of each army finally came out, more than 20,000 enemies were killed in this battle, and more than 13,000 people were captured. In this battle, there were very few war horses, only more than 4,000, and the armor and soldiers were piled up; Although the casualties of the Song army were less than those of the Xia army, more than 5,000 people were killed and more than 4,000 were wounded, of which more than 400 were killed or wounded by the loyal and brave army.

Zhao Ta's fortune plan did not come to fruition, he climbed the high platform to look around, at this moment the battlefield is not finished, the blood in the air is disgusting, there are corpses of people and horses everywhere, still maintain the appearance when they died in battle, a group of early crows, vultures, wild dogs have been eager to enjoy their gluttonous feast, even if the living people walk into them, they will not dodge.

"Tell the prefect of Linzhou to mobilize the troops and people of nearby prefectures and counties to bury the body quickly, otherwise this will become a forbidden place!" Zhao Tan frowned and said, after the catastrophe, there will be a pandemic, large-scale war casualties will also cause the spread of the epidemic, it is summer, the corpse will be very fast, if not dealt with early, cause the epidemic, and the battlefield is located in the traffic rush, once it spreads, it will inevitably affect several states, and the number of dead people will greatly exceed the casualties of the war. …,

"Lord Wang, what to do with those captives?" Zhao Zhi stepped forward and asked, there are a lot of Xia soldiers captured this time, and if it is not properly handled, it is also a hidden danger.

"Don't abuse them, treat the sick, heal the wounded, and take care of the food, now Fengzhou, Hezhou has just gone through a big war, and the population has dropped sharply, send them to the two states to serve in labor first, and then resettle them in the future!" Zhao Ta thought about it and said: "The troops of the Jingsai Military Division should be treated preferentially, and tonight you arrange for me to meet the unified army Zhengchuan!" ”

"Yes, lord, I wrote it down!" Zhao Zhi said.

"How's the food and grass ready?"

"Lord Lord, the supplies of our loyal army have been sent to Yincheng by the caravan first, and the food and ammunition can ensure what we need!" Zhao Zhi replied.

"Okay, today you must organize the engineer battalion to complete the repair of the pontoon bridge, prepare the dry food needed by the whole army for ten days, and replenish the ammunition of the generals, we will set off tomorrow, and we will definitely capture Brother Cha, otherwise it will be a big disaster!" Zhao said.

"Yes, rest assured, the subordinates will handle this matter well!" Zhao Zhi nodded, it seems that the prince still remembers that big deal.

"Jiang Fei, did the scouts send out Lu out?" Zhao asked again.

"Lord Wang, the scout battalion of the military department, all the general scout teams crossed by boat last night, followed by Brother Cha, reported this morning, after Brother Cha crossed the river, he was intercepted by two battalions of our army leopard generals, and he was still in the area of Tumaochuan, and he did not escape from the grasp of our army!" Jiang Feidao.

"Tell them, don't be in love with war, don't be greedy for merit, as long as you entangle Brother Cha for two days, our army can arrive!" Zhao Ta also told him that Brother Cha is short of soldiers and food now, but he will not sit still, there must be a fierce battle waiting for him. (To be continued.)
