The rise of the prince

Chapter 637 Whereabouts
In the end, thousands of words were merged into one sentence: "We have taken Yanshan Mansion, and the situation is stable."

"Haha!" Di Zhi opened his mouth to giggle, the scar on his face began to bleed again, and the old military doctor next to him stomped his feet in anger.

Dozens of cavalrymen in black shirts who were injured and lying around also giggled. There were 190 of them, and more than 50 survived. More than a dozen were seriously injured, and the rest were also injured to varying degrees. They lay here together.

Li Xingzhou glanced at them, full of emotions in his heart, angry and funny: "What's so funny, it's all thanks to you, but don't be so desperate next time, the life of the Liao army is not worth as much as yours, and it won't be worth it if you change it. "

"Hey hey hey" Everyone laughed again, Li Xingzhou was speechless, for these, he might call it trust.

"My lord, even next time, I won't fall behind." Someone said.

"Yes, I was timid. I didn't dare to risk my life in the Imperial Army before, but if I follow the prince and General Di, I will dare next time."

"Hahaha" Everyone laughed, but after laughing, they tore their wounds and grinned in pain.

Li Xingzhou couldn't help laughing: "Heal your wounds well, eat meat at night, serve good beef, and let you mend well."

Everyone was stunned, because it was against the law for Jing Guo to slaughter cattle without permission.

"Hahaha." Li Xingzhou laughed loudly: "The Liao Army has spare food, and there are thousands of cattle and sheep in the camp. It is not illegal to eat cattle from the Liao Kingdom."

"Hahaha" everyone laughed happily again.

The sun still rises as usual, the old city of Yanshan Mansion, the important town in the north, the future Beiping, Beijing, of course, is still desolate at this time, with the majestic blue bricks, standing still in the rising sun.

The city is still the old city, but the people have changed. The head of the city has been replaced by the banner of King Pingnan, and the defenders have become new troops with muskets.

Li Xingzhou asked Xiao Hongqi to help write a notice in Khitan language and posted it in the city, to the effect that the people in the city should register their household registration at the Jingjun camp in the south of the city, and promise to never offend them after registration.

After hesitating for a long time, people began to come out one after another to register their household registration in the South Gate Barracks. There were many people at home, etc.
Slowly, I found that Jing Jun was really different from the previous Jing Jun this time. He didn't burn, kill or loot, nor was he vicious, so he finally dared to come out.

The big camp on the shore, all the supplies, were emptied, and fences were erected around it, and more than 4000 prisoners of war were concentrated in it. Wei Yubai had already led people to manage them centrally, and she was more experienced in these aspects.

"Well, no one is making trouble, right?" Li Xingzhou rode Meixue to the shore, Wei Yubai was riding a tall horse, and the majestic commander drove out the cattle, sheep and war horses accumulated by the Liao army in the camp.

Hearing his voice, he turned his head in an instant, and his face was full of joy: "No, but they don't seem to be convinced. They probably feel ashamed to be captured by a woman."

"You have a way."

"That's natural." She said to herself, "It's just that I didn't expect Nanjing City to be defeated so easily."

Li Xingzhou actually didn't expect that if it wasn't for the desperate efforts of Di Zhi and others to block the door, a large number of defeated troops entered the city and defended the city, even the new army would have to fight for a long time.

"Send people south and let your father's main force go north to take over Nanjing." Li Xingzhou said.

Wei Yubai was stunned for a moment, not understanding his intentions, because Wei Chaoren was suspected of sharing the credit, but he didn't ask further, nodded and said, "I'll write a letter later."

The new army needed to rest after the battle, but the casualties were actually not that great. According to the statistics Yan Shen reported to him this morning, plus the previous casualties on the road, [-] soldiers of the new army died in battle.

Among them, the highest official was a commander of the Musketeer Battalion, a subordinate of Di Zhi, who was shot in the chest by a cold arrow while commanding the march and died.

The bulk of the casualties were the black-shirted cavalry led by Di Zhi to block the gate. There were 190 of them, and nearly 150 died in the battle.

As for the casualties of the Liao army, they are still being counted, and it is difficult to count. Under the bombardment of solid shells, many corpses are not complete corpses, and it is time-consuming and laborious to count.

Li Xingzhou only ordered the corpses to be burned together, because he was afraid of causing a large-scale plague, especially since the battlefield was near the river.

Regarding the burning of corpses, the Liao Kingdom does not have so much resistance, so there is no need to worry too much.In the south, parents pay attention to the body, hair, skin and skin, so they should be buried in the ground for peace, and it is disrespectful to burn the corpse.

However, the Khitan people's funeral is to hang the corpse on the tree to dry first, and then cremate it into the ground. Now it just skips the step of drying, so there is no voice of opposition, and it has not aroused dissatisfaction among the people of Nanjing.

This also brought great convenience to the new army to clean up the battlefield.

There were not many casualties in the new army, which was just a fraction of the 5000 people, but Li Xingzhou could not keep the new army in Nanjing.

This is also the main reason why he wanted Wei Chaoren's main force to go north to take over Yanshan Mansion. The new army is not only his armed force, but also his political guarantee. In the future, the new army must return to Beijing with him.

Another thing is that Qiu'er's second-generation steam engine is estimated to be ready for mass production, and Zhao Si's research on firearms may also enter a new stage.

Even if the second-generation steam engine still cannot reach the power of an ironclad ship, as long as the vibration is reduced and the lifespan is increased, it can be used for processing barrels, barrels, and bullets. The palace's military technology will enter a new stage, with new weapons and equipment, tactics and tactics. Just come, during such an update, time waits for no one, and the new army cannot be stationed here.

"By the way, has the general of the Liao Army found out?" Li Xingzhou asked. At a time like this, the general must have deliberately concealed his identity.

After all, killing 4000 captives may be hesitant to weigh in the head coach, but killing a few leading generals made the Liao army stop the idea of ​​rebellion, and at the same time, it was easy to demonstrate and ask for credit.

So at this time, the high-level generals of the Liao army who were among the prisoners of war naturally tried their best not to expose themselves.

"Find a dozen or so, and it's too late to take off the armor. You can see it right away, but the rest are still looking for. Xiao Hongqi needs to help with this matter. He also needs to help register the household registration on the other side, so he can't get away." Wei Yu Bai Dao.

Li Xingzhou nodded: "Is there any Yelu Dashi among them?"

"Not yet." Wei Yubai said: "But I think he is among these people." She pointed to a circle of prisoners who were surrounded by crowds of people in the camp and were restless.

"Why?" He smiled and asked curiously.

Wei Yubai was slightly proud: "It's very simple, after asking for a while last night, all these people have the same attitude, and they all said that they have never seen their Nanyuan King.

It's strange that their voices are so consistent, most of them are pawns in the back line, closest to the coach, even if Yelu Dashi escaped, some of them must have seen it, but when asked, everyone said no.

If there were no people with high prestige in the Liao army mixed in, how could these people have the same caliber. "

"Hahahaha, smart." Li Xingzhou said with a smile.

"That's natural." Wei Yubai was not humble, "But it may take a few days to ask, after all, we only have one Xiao Hongqi."

Li Xingzhou nodded: "No hurry, we eat meat, and give them some rice and noodles temporarily, we have plenty of time."
