The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 198
"Lord Hou, great victory, Gao Basi Timur has been captured alive, and the rest, except for the hundreds who surrendered, will all be executed."

"Not bad, the fight is okay, how about the casualties of our army?"

Even if the scouts didn't come to report, the outcome of this battle was within Zheng Xiong's expectation.

All you need to know is to understand your own casualties in a people-oriented concept.

"Reporting to Lord Hou, hundreds of people were injured, and more than a hundred people died."

The casualties were really not that big, but for Zheng Xiong, it was still a bit unacceptable.

Although the two armies are fighting, casualties are inevitable, but the preparations are so full, and these casualties are indeed unexpected.

It's a pity that even if the current firecrackers are improved, the problem of gunpowder smoke still cannot be solved.

It is still a bit reluctant to treat cavalry.

Otherwise, with the explosives thrown by the trebuchet and a round of fire coverage, even without the advent of Gatling, the casualties in such a competition can be reduced to a negligible level.

That's all for now.

"Order to bring the wounded back to the city first, and let the military doctors treat them."

"The dead collect their bodies and bring them back to the pass. Don't let the soldiers who died in battle stay outside the city. The souls of the dead will not return."

"Yes, Lord Hou. In addition, Gao Basi Timur of the Yuan Army clamored to see you, and a general of the Yuan Army who was imprisoned also clamored to see you. Report to Lord Hou."

"Tell them, no see."

"Tell the whole army, go home, it's time to eat."

"promise."

After giving the order, Zheng Xiong stepped forward and walked towards Yanmen Pass, Li Si hurriedly followed, and the army turned back.

The scouts informed Gao Basi and Hong Boyan of Zheng Xiong's reply.

The two asked in disbelief.

"why?"

"How do I know, where did you two prisoners come from? Don't delay me for dinner."

After finishing speaking, the two were put in prison.

Gao Basi Timur was a little disappointed, but Hong Boyan really couldn't figure it out.

He clearly informed Zheng Xiong of his intention to come, and the two parties didn't insist on the death of each other.

Now if you say you don't see it, you will see it, turning your face is faster than turning a book, it is really incomprehensible, and it is confusing.

There was no suspense in this battle. Zheng Xiong defeated the Yuan army with a crushing attitude, which shocked the merchants watching the battle.

Although the guns and cannons have been heard, the cannons are actually similar to the trebuchet, which is equivalent to a substitute.

But compared with a bomb of this power, it is different.

What it brought was an unprecedented visual and auditory impact, leaving an indelible impression on everyone's hearts.

The senses of merchants are shocked.

It is very different in the eyes of insiders.

For example, the Ming army who came with the Yuan army and the Ming army officers and soldiers guarding the pass wall.

A strange feeling arose in their hearts at the same time.

Thinking in another way, if you face such an army, what will happen to the outcome.

The answer is obvious, unless relying on the advantage of mobility, otherwise the same fate as this group of Yuan troops is not the same.

If Zhentianlei is used to defend the city, then even if there are thousands of troops, there is nothing to be afraid of.

All in all, whether they are insiders or laymen, they have left an indelible impression in their hearts.

As the finishing Ming army escorted the remaining Yuan army into the pass wall.

The sound of falling along the wall came, and this competition came to an end here, leaving only the soil bags one by one to tell the unusualness of this place.

After a simple meal, Zheng Xiong went to visit the wounded soldiers. The medical resources for these hundreds of wounded soldiers were sufficient, and they were quickly and properly treated in front of these experienced doctors.

Most of them were traumatic injuries, and there were only so many injured, so they were dealt with very quickly.

After dealing with the wounded, the next thing is the dead.

In the past, I was just a doctor accompanying the army, so I couldn't stretch my hands very far.

Now these people are all because of their own reasons, and they are sleeping forever, and their bodies are still there.

Then it cannot be generalized from the past.

Just a few times before, many wounded soldiers who came to treat him failed to hold on, so Zheng Xiong simply built a cemetery on the green hill beside him.

It is different from the soldiers who were hastily buried before.

The soldiers who died this time can know its information.

Zheng Xiong was not stingy either, he recruited civilian husbands and dug the grave.

Stonemasons carve steles, and carpenters make coffins.

After several days of busy work, the mausoleum was finally completed.

Although Zheng Xiong's actions are somewhat unclear, so there is nothing to erect a monument to these soldiers who are consumables, but Zhang Huaiyuan still gave him the convenience.

Let Zheng Xiong's progress in building the mausoleum be orderly.

In three days, a well-organized mausoleum stood on the green hill.

More than a hundred coffins and steles stood quietly beside the pit.

Zheng Xiong led nearly ten thousand soldiers neatly arranged under the green hill.

As time passed, Li Si whispered to Zheng Xiong.

"Master Hou, the auspicious time has come."

"Well, pass my order and bury it."

As Zheng Xiong's order came out, the soldiers waiting beside the coffin sent the coffin to the pit.

Fill in the soil and erect a monument.

Zheng Xiong stood at the foot of the mountain with a serious face, and said after the monument was completed.

"Fire the gun."

"promise."

More than two hundred firecrackers, divided into twelve columns, followed Zheng Xiong's order.

The general beside the firecracker said immediately.

"The first row listens to the order and prepares."

"put."

"The second row is ready."

"put."

"Third row, get ready."

"put."

Twelve shots are fired, which is almost the highest etiquette for most armies in the world to sacrifice their comrades. The troops use the salute to comfort the dead to express their blessings to the dead and their affirmation of their life.

At this time, Zheng Xiong brought this set of etiquette to the world, paying his own unique respect.

Li Cheng.

Li Si quietly walked in front of Zheng Xiong.

"Master Hou, there is a big stele in the middle, and there is nothing on it, please show it to Master Hou."

"A pen."

Zheng Xiong took the brush and ink from Li Si and walked to the blank monument.

The eight characters of "Daming Army Soul Eternal Existence" were mentioned.

"The soul of the Ming army will last forever."

Then he felt that something was missing, and wrote two lines of small characters on the side.

Dare to fight the old bones to capture the enemy.

Protect my Chinese Miles and Frontiers.

"Dare to fight the old bones to capture the enemy and protect our China's thousands of miles."

Li Si on the side read this short sentence slowly, and a strange feeling rose in his heart.

As Li Si's voice came out, some people nearby also heard this sentence.

Looking at the eight characters of the soul of the Ming army forever, I feel like Li Si in my heart, but it is different.

No one has ever said such a sentence, or erected such a monument, just so that these little soldiers can rest in peace.

A scholar dies for his confidant. At this moment, Zheng Xiong has a different status in the hearts of everyone. He is a person who can truly understand himself.

Once the generals are successful, who else can know the sacrifices of these small soldiers except the famous generals? The answer is no.

And Zheng Xiong gave them the answer they wanted.
