The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Although he had anticipated the casualties of the war for a long time and was not optimistic, Li Yuanqing could not help but feel the pain when the results were reported.

Chen Zhong and Zhang pan were also silent for a long time.

In this war, there were nearly 600 casualties in Changsheng camp alone. Among them, more than 200 were killed and nearly 180 were seriously injured. Half of them, I am afraid, are all

Chen Zhong's side is heavier than the Changsheng camp.

Although he also adopted the new-style firearm of Changsheng camp, and the team was quite regular, they were far from comparable in terms of experience and rigor.

The occasional setback and lack of firepower net also made their long spearmen doomed to pay a greater price.

In this war, there were more than 800 casualties and nearly 900 casualties in Chen Zhong's Department, and nearly 400 people were killed in the battle. If Li Yuanqing and Changsheng camp were not in charge here, and Chen Zhong's death was suppressed, it would have collapsed.

Although some of these casualties are auxiliary soldiers, most of them are elite soldiers of two men. Ah

Even though they are not short of population, most of them are old brothers.

However, although the casualties of the two units were heavy, they were never recovered by the rear Jin army.

In this war, the two departments seized nearly 1500 tartar heads and thousands of weapons and armor.

This was mainly due to the barrier taken by the Ming army on the earth wall. Many Tartars killed outside the wall by bird guns and hand grenades did not have time to collect them. If these were included, the casualties of Tartars would be at least over 2000.

That's just the most conservative number.

After all, many Tartars with minor injuries or non fatal injuries also ran away.

Zhang Yuanqing and Chen Yuanqing have to be silent for a long time

Chen Zhong drank up the wine in his cup, and clenched his fist tightly. He said, "these bloody Tartars! Sooner or later, I will kill all these dog scum! "

Li Yuanqing slowly vomited out a turbid breath, but his eyes were clear.

In war, there are always dead people.

Zhang Pan's words are correct. People always have to look forward. Now, it's just the beginning.

"Big brother, brother Zhang, there are gains and losses. The past, has passed. Children's blood will not flow in vain. We have a lot to do now! "

Looking at Li Yuanqing's upright face, Chen Zhong also responded, and quickly got up and said, "Yuan Qing is right. Half defense, no carelessness at night. I'll go over there and keep an eye on it

With that, Chen Zhong left in a hurry.

Zhang pan looked at Chen Zhongyuan and felt lost for a moment.

Li Yuanqing understood Zhang Pan's mind, shook his hand heavily and said, "brother Zhang, we are afraid we can't rest tonight. Let's go on a camp tour

Zhang pan was stunned and immediately understood what Li Yuanqing meant. He nodded with gratitude, "Yuanqing, let's go."

………

Li Mengliang woke up in the morning.

Next to her, nian'er was startled. She was still a little sleepy. She got up and helped Li Yuanqing. She said carefully, "Sir, are you ok? Have you had a nightmare? "

Li Yuanqing felt his hair wet on his forehead, so he touched it hard. Only then did he find that he was sweating profusely.

In his sleep, Li Yuanqing had a terrible dream. The iron cavalry of the later Jin Dynasty broke through the defense line of the Ming army. Li Yuanqing was unprepared, and Changsheng camp and Chen Zhongbu were all caught in one net.

Later, Mao Wenlong's army was defeated.

Then, Liaodong fell, Liaonan fell, Liaoxi fell, and the iron cavalry of the later Jin Dynasty came to the pass

"Nianer, bring me a glass of water. What time is it? " Li Yuanqing's voice can not be said hoarse, just like being pressed by a ghost.

"Yes, sir. Just a moment. "

After a while, Li Maoer is busy drinking some water from the water. He should take a quick drink of the water. I had just faintly heard the hour announced by the soldier on duty. Sir, you have been sleeping for less than an hour. Lie down and have a rest? "

Looking at the tired Li Yuanqing, read son unspeakable heartache.

After drinking some water, Li Yuanqing's spirit has improved a lot. With a smile, he hugged nian'er in his arms, "my Lord is OK. I'm not as weak as you think. Nian'er, you can sleep a little longer. When it's noon, if you have time, I'll come and have dinner with you. "

With that, Li Yuanqing got up and dressed himself. Nianer was busy to get up to serve. Li Yuanqing pressed her on the bed, "nian'er, you can have a good rest. Just come by yourself."

Seeing that Li Yuanqing had already put on his clothes three or two times, nian'er had to give up and watched Li Yuanqing go out of the tent.

At this time, the sky was just slightly bright, and it was a bit overcast. The north wind was howling, and the tent nearby was "clattering" with some fine particles. It seemed that it was going to snow again.Seeing Li Yuanqing come out, the soldiers on duty not far away from the tent rushed to meet him, "general."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "how was last night? Is there any situation? "

The two soldiers shook their heads. "General, everything is normal. There is no accident. Go to inform Niu Ye

Li Yuanqing shook his head, "don't worry. You take a few people with me to patrol, you stay here. "

"Yes." The soldier called several brothers nearby and quickly came to Li Yuanqing to guard him.

Li Yuanqing slowly vomited out a puff of turbid gas, instantly turned into a wisp of white smoke, the day has begun to cool down.

He paused for a moment and strode towards the north wall.

When he came to the side of the wall, Xu Heizi was still directing his busy work here. He didn't sleep all night. His voice was hoarse, but his spirit was not bad.

See Li Yuanqing come over, Xu Heizi quickly meet up, "general, so early?"

Li Yuanqing smiles, "the old slave is on the opposite side, how can I sleep steadily? How are the fortifications here? "

Xu also laughed, "it's almost done. General, God is on our side. It's getting cold. The spilt water has frozen. If Tartars want to attack the city today, it will not be so easy. "

He said, "general, come here and have a look."

Li Yuanqing followed Xu Heizi and quickly stepped up the simple steps to check on the wall.

On the north side of the wall, the moat extends to the wall root and wall. Thick ice has been formed, and a lot of sand can be seen.

It can be seen that this is by no means the result of a splash of water.

Li Yuanqing stretched out his hand and tried. It was cold. Although the ice was not smooth enough by the wind, there was suddenly more than one meter wide ice. Later, if Jin Jun wanted to break through the wall, it would have to take much more trouble.

"Hard work, brother Xu." Li Yuanqing patted Xu sunspot on the shoulder.

With a smile, he said, "it's a blessing to share the worries for the general."

When they met, they both laughed.

The two men inspected the wall and found that all aspects of the layout were tight. In addition, they were afraid that there would be heavy snow today, so it was the old slave's turn to have a headache.

Just ready to let the fire soldiers cook some food and warm themselves, in the west, Chen Zhong also quickly ran over with some of his relatives.

When he saw Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong was stunned, "Yuan Qing, so early?"

For a moment, he couldn't help laughing. "I thought I was early enough. I didn't think you were earlier than me."

On the other side, Zhang pan also rushed over with several relatives and soldiers.

Three people look at each other, can not help but smile, such a state, who can sleep steadily?

He told the firemen to make breakfast. At this time, the snow in the sky had begun to gather, mixed with the north wind, which was cold on the wall for a time.

Zhang Pan said: "Yuanqing, Lao Chen, look at this day, if Tartars want to attack again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy. God help us, so that we can have a rest day

Chen Zhong said: "I think Tartars will continue to attack the city today. These dog scum, don't beat them hard, hit pain, they will never long memory

Li Yuanqing nodded his head and said, "the Tartars have the advantage of attacking the city today. If they don't attack the city, they will have the advantage of not attacking the city. But in any case, we must be well prepared. "

They nodded and Zhang Pan said, "that's right. We must not give Tartars any chance to take advantage of it. "

After a simple breakfast, Xu went back to have a rest. At this time, all the ministries also got up.

Li Yuanqing and his three men held a simple military discussion in the small account temporarily set up under the fort. The main task was to assign tasks, clarify the responsibilities of each department, and detail the tasks to each department and individual.

In this way, once there is a mistake in which link, the three people can find the crux in the shortest time.

Although the wind and snow are very heavy, the gun stands are covered by branches and soil. In such a cold day, the simple defense has been frozen, very strong, blocking the wind and snow outside.

In addition, there was a bonfire nearby, which was not a big problem.

Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong and Zhang pan stood on the gun platform and watched the situation of Houjin camp opposite.

At this time, the wind is from the north, coupled with the scattered snowflakes, visibility is not too high.

But it's already light, and although it's still a bit gloomy, it's not a big problem to see what's going on a mile and a half or two miles away.

At this time, the snow has lasted more than half an hour, about 8:30, the whole world is covered with a layer of white.

Within the field of vision, you can clearly see that there are 56 sentinels of the rear Jin army, which are wandering a mile away, scattered in several places, spying on the movements of the Ming army on this side of the earth wall.

Inside the wall, the battle lines of the Ming army in various aspects have gathered, and a number of open spaces have been lit with vigorous bonfires to ensure the soldiers' warmth.

To fight in such weather, it is bound to pay more energy than usual. Although Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong are not inferior in equipment, the Ming army camp is in the downwind, so it will consume more energy to fight against the cold.In this regard, none of Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong and Zhang pan dare not neglect them.

Fortunately, there is a wall to block part of the wind, so that children do not have to face the cold wind directly, can have a little buffer.

Time soon came to noon, the snow was less, but the wind was getting stronger.

The Houjin army did not launch an offensive, and the Ming army sentinel in front also sent news. Houjin camp did not move. It seems that they want to give up the attack today.

Chen Zhong was very upset and said, "the dog Tartars of dog day, are they really not attacking today?"

Zhang pan was a little relieved. Although he did not have a headquarters, his two thousand troops joined the front line today. If he delayed for another day, he would have a better preparation process for his children.

"Lao Chen, it's better for Tartars not to attack. We can arrange more things more carefully. I just don't know what's going on there

Li Yuanqing nodded.

For our own camp, all aspects of the deployment have been thorough.

In particular, the deployment of firearms and gunpowder was Li Yuanqing's greatest strength.

He is not worried about his side's defense, but Mao Wenlong's side, Li Yuanqing is also holding a sweat.

Whether all he did is worth it or not depends on Mao Wenlong's answer sheet.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing vomited out a turbid airway: "two big brothers, why do you want to do so much? Let him come any way, I'll go all the way! As long as the dog Tartars dare to come up, I will surely let them suffer a lot! "
