Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 761
Lieutenant General Yang Jin of Ji Town would not have asked for instructions on how to deal with the thousand or two hundred captives a day earlier, but after this battle, his attitude is naturally different.

Wang Tong glanced over there. Driven by the soldiers of Ji Town, the dejected captives were driven into a circle. Wang Tong pondered for a while, and said:
"Those who are unable to move, or who are seriously injured, will not be kept, and the rest will be kept on the spot, and they can be used tomorrow!"

Yang Jin was a little confused about what Wang Tong said "can be used", but he still bowed to accept the order, got up and hesitated, and asked again:
"Marshal, there are still three days' supply of food and grass, how many days will it be in the next few days?"

"Naturally let the soldiers eat enough. If they don't eat enough, how can they have the strength to fight. The dead horses and wounded horses on the battlefield today, as well as the remaining cattle and sheep, were all slaughtered, which is considered a reward."

Food and grass were almost exhausted, so we should live within our means, but Wang Tong didn't care about it at all. Yang Jin looked back at Guihua City, which was somewhat blurred in the night, and he was still worried, but he didn't speak.

Before dark, the soldiers were exhausted and set up camp. Guihua City was half a day away from the camp, and the lights on the top of the city could be seen clearly from the camp. Moreover, the Tartars could call the army out of the city, but everyone There is no fear and worry, but high ambition.

The aroma of broth permeated the camp, except for the soldiers on duty, the rest of the people sat around in front of the cauldron, enjoying the warmth and the coming meat.

There was a lot of laughter, there was only a faint skylight in the sky, and it was about to get dark. Hearing the rumble of hooves outside, many people subconsciously grabbed their weapons.

But he immediately relaxed, and the guarded soldiers shouted:
"The cavalry brothers are back!!"

The soldiers in front of the camp gate moved the carts to let the cavalry of the horse team enter. The soldiers who were waiting to eat all stood up and cheered loudly there.

Today's battle has been on the front line, and the most heroic ones in the battle are the cavalry. Although the Tiger's Mighty Army fought brilliantly, they only attacked in the middle, and the cavalry continued to fight from the beginning to the end.

"...Good job!!" "Man!!"

The cheers were also mixed with all kinds of vulgar but heartfelt compliments. Every cavalry blushed and felt extremely glorious. When the cavalry arrived in their area, they dismounted and went to eat after receiving orders.

Being so close to the enemy's base camp, apart from being relaxed while eating, the Ming army still maintained a tense state. Naturally, at night, they would lie down with their clothes on and their weapons were at hand. , everyone can stand up and fight at any time.

The same is true of the cavalry. They rested with the horses, and the cavalry fed in the middle of the night. If there was any movement, they were ready to fight.

Ma Sanbiao, Zhang Lei and Ma Yong, the three cavalry chiefs and deputy generals, were called to a camp by Wang Tong's personal soldiers after dismounting. This is where the Ming army treated the wounded.

Different from the laughter and laughter outside, the atmosphere here is much more serious. In this era and on such a battlefield, the lightly wounded can be bandaged, and the seriously wounded can only wait to die.

Wang Tong was waiting outside the camp. After Ma Sanbiao and others dismounted, Wang Tong asked:
"How did the Tartars react?"

"The gates of the city are closed, and we dare not do anything. The subordinates shouted and humiliated according to the command of the commander-in-chief. A few earth cannons were fired from the city, but they couldn't hit us. The subordinates ran around the city. came back!"

Wang Tong nodded and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that the Tartars also had artillery, but they didn't use it during the war. I really don't know what they were thinking."

"Commander, my subordinates do know some reasons. The copper and iron used for a cannon weighs thousands of catties. The Tartars are short of iron. With such iron materials, swords and arrows can be made to arm more soldiers, not to mention after so many years. In battle, Ming’s cannons are of no use to them, so they don’t take them seriously, and it is estimated that the cannons at the top of the city were probably given by the merchants to please the Tartars.”

Zhang Lei, chief of the cavalry team in Jizhen, replied that Jizhen's understanding of the situation on the grassland was not as bad as Wang Tong's system, and might have more military knowledge.

The deputy general Yang Jin, several battalion commanders, and a group of generals from the Huwei Army rushed over, and everyone walked into the camp area.

A person from a hundred households greeted them respectfully, and greeted everyone first. Wang Tong asked straightforwardly:
"Did you do everything you were asked to do?"

"Reporting to Commander, the bandages are only used after soaking in boiling water, and the wounds are only wrapped with salt water and shochu."

Wang Tong nodded. Seeing that his soldiers were injured and could not be treated, he felt uncomfortable. Wang Tong had some impressions of the means, that's all, but if he can improve a little, he can improve a little, and there is always improvement.

Yang Jin and the others didn't understand this at all, they just followed Xiangli, and everyone asked questions along the way, and the hundred households answered quickly.

The entire camp was nothing more than bandaged lightly wounded taking care of the severely wounded who were unable to move. There were not many people screaming and moaning in pain, and not many people were lying there waiting to die.

This is of course not how good the defense of the Ming army is. It’s okay to say that the Huwei army has a lot of casualties on the cavalry and Jizhen positions. If there is really no hope of life or it is too painful, colleagues will harden their hearts and give them a good time. The wounded will not resent, but will say thank you.

Most of the seriously wounded in the camp had their limbs broken after the stone bullets hit the vehicle formation. Although they will be disabled in the future, they will have no problem surviving.

"Marshal, there are 750 wounded in the camp, 150 with minor injuries, and [-] with serious injuries."

Hearing this report, Wang Tong nodded, turned his head and asked:
"How many people died in Jizhen? What about Datong?"

The casualties of the infantry in the Huwei army were less than [-], and the casualties of the cavalry were less than a hundred. Wang Tong didn't bother to mention it, and asked directly. Hearing Wang Tong's question, Yang Jin had a distressed look on his face, and he bowed and replied:
"More than two thousand people died in battle, the last general is really ashamed!"

Wang Tong shook his head. The catapult stone bullets are powerful, but because the stone bullets do not kill too many people, the real war dead should have died in hand-to-hand combat with the Tartar cavalry. This is the big head. It is the most elite force in Ji Town, no wonder Yang Jin has such a look.

"How can there be undead in war, as long as the enemy dies more than us."

Wang Tong comforted him. Over there, Ma Yong said that more than [-] cavalrymen in Datong died in the battle. This is also estimated. Although the cavalry took the lead, they were highly mobile, pursued and restrained a lot, and the time for hand-to-hand combat was very short. There were not many casualties.

The wounded in the camp were very moved when they saw Wang Tong and other generals coming over. Wang Tong often stepped forward to ask a few words to appease and praise. Normally, the general of the first army and the soldiers below have no intersection at all. The difference between heaven and earth However, Wang Tong is an imperial envoy and the commander-in-chief of an army, but he is so approachable, which makes these soldiers fearful and grateful at the same time.

After walking around for a while, Wang Tong didn't leave immediately, but asked someone to pull a large cart. He walked onto the cart and said loudly:
"Everyone, you fought for Da Ming and were bloody and injured for Da Ming. You are extremely honorable!! This commander salutes you!!"

After speaking, Wang Tong saluted in all directions in the car, seeing Wang Tong like this, although Yang Jin and others were surprised, they followed suit.

There was a commotion in the camp. The lightly wounded and the seriously wounded who were lying on the plank bed didn't know what to do, and they didn't know who took the lead and knelt down. Everyone was grateful, and someone hissed:
"The little ones kill the enemy for the country. These are all duties. You can't be a gift from the commander-in-chief. Let's kill the little ones!"

This person is eloquent, and he should be someone's personal soldier or something. Wang Tong bowed and saluted very well, straightened up, and said again:
"Don't worry if you're injured. If you're slightly wounded and you recover, you can continue to kill the enemy. Remember the credit. If you're seriously injured and can't kill the enemy, don't worry. Daming will support you for the rest of your life..."

Before he finished speaking, there was already a huge cheer among the wounded. Wang Tong paused, and then said loudly:
"You are glorious, and your family will share your glory!!!"

The cheers were even louder. Everyone could understand the meaning of Wang's call. There was no need to worry about the credit and support of the wounded, and it could also bring benefits to the family.

Needless to say, the soldiers of Huwei Army, the soldiers of Jizhen and Datong have served as soldiers for a long time. They have seen such good things there before, and they are not without doubts in their hearts. They suspect that Wang Tong has written a bad check, but this young imperial envoy Dashuai, it's really amazing.

Who can fight such a battle? If it is said that a party dominated by infantry who is at a disadvantage in numbers can defeat a party dominated by cavalry and has a large number of people, who would believe it, but this marshal did it. These promises made also make people believe that he can keep them.

After the condolences to the wounded were over, Wang Tong and his army were about to leave. When they walked out of the camp, Wang Tong said to the hundred households in charge:
"If anyone comes to visit, don't stop them. If anyone asks, tell them what the commander-in-chief said!"

The hundred households were stunned, and quickly bowed to accept the order.

***************
The soldiers in the camp heard the cheers and shouts in the wounded camp, and they all felt puzzled and didn't know what happened.

But not long after, the watchtower carriage, which was regarded as the command platform on the battlefield, came to the center of the camp. Wang Tong climbed onto the roof of the carriage and lit several large bonfires around the carriage. Wang Tong on the top of the carriage was reflected It's like a god, ordering the center to quickly communicate to the surroundings.

The entire barracks quickly fell silent, and Wang Tong said loudly from above:
"In today's battle, our army beheaded [-] people, captured [-], defeated the Tartars, and our army won a big victory!!!"

The soldiers with a loud voice repeated Wang Tong's words one by one, the camp was quiet for a while, and suddenly there was a tsunami, and everyone shouted wildly! ! ——
