Badu Li collected the Houjin cavalry who had returned and counted them. More than 150 of them had not returned. At this time, Muta beside Badu Li asked: "Uncle, what should we do now?"
Baduli shook his head and said: "Although these Ming troops are very inexperienced in battle, their bravery is no less than that of the sons of our nation. If we attack rashly, I will be sure to defeat them, uncle, but
Most of our people here will be left here. Muta, can you tell where these Ming troops came from?"
Muta thought carefully and said to Baduli: "Look at this Ming army, it must be the elite of the Ming Dynasty, but it doesn't look like it has fought any battles. I think it is the army defending the capital of the Ming Dynasty."
Baduli nodded in agreement and said: "This time my uncle brought you out, your knowledge has indeed improved very quickly. I guess this Ming army is the imperial army beside the Ming emperor. They are well-equipped, well-trained, and courageous
That’s enough. I just haven’t fought any battles.”
"So now you know what we should do. When we entered the customs this time, it seemed that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was panicked and sent out all the imperial guards around him. But think about it, the imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty will
Are there only so few people? So the Ming army on the opposite side must be the vanguard of the Royal Forest Army."
"So the main force of the Ming army held back by Mr. Beile may not be the main force of the Ming army at all. There must be a large number of imperial guards behind them. Therefore, we are only temporarily holding back the Ming army on the opposite side and sending people to kill this army.
Report the situation to Lord Beile so that he doesn't suffer any loss. As for Luanzhou City, Namutai is also a veteran, and he will definitely know what to do."
Wu Shigong never thought that the coach Houjin on the opposite side had raised his Henan militia to the status of the Royal Forest Army. Wu Shigong was also very nervous now, carefully watching every move of the Houjin Army.
Wu Shigong was in terrible pain now. Not to mention the casualties of Yu Ji's phalanx, the cavalry of the squadron led by Xue Qiang alone lost more than fifty people, and these people were all elites carefully cultivated by Wu Shigong. They would be the future leaders.
He was trained by officers in his own army!
But this is not the most important thing. In the past, Wu Shigong had always heard and seen things, such as one thousand or eight hundred casualties, and had no other feelings about these numbers. But now, Wu Shigong discovered that they were not individual numbers.
Numbers, those are real people! And they are brothers who live with me day and night!
Whose son are these people? Whose husband? Whose father? Among these more than fifty people, there are more than a dozen who were the guards he brought out from the capital at that time. A month ago, they were still under the southern wall of the capital and
His family was laughing and laughing, but in just one month, it became an eternal farewell.
At this time, the sound of vomiting came from Wu Shigong's side. It was Deng Qifan who saw the bloody scene of death collision and finally couldn't help but vomited.
The soldiers beside Deng Qifan immediately took out a kettle and gave it to Deng Qifan. After Deng Qifan drank a few sips of water, he mocked Wu Shigong apologetically: "Students thought they had great ambitions when they were young. They dismounted and drafted military documents, and mounted their horses to attack Kuang Hu. But that's not the case.
I really feel sorry for you to think that you have done such a ridiculous thing while on the battlefield."
Only then did Wu Shigong realize that Deng Qifan and Master Zhi had followed him and ran to the front line. Wu Shigong immediately said to the guards around him: "Send Mr. Deng and Master Zhi to the back quickly, protect them, and don't let them have any chance."
damage."
Deng Qifan quickly waved his hand and refused: "No problem! No problem! If you can beat the madman, you will have no regrets in your life."
Just as Wu Shigong was about to persuade him again, he heard huge artillery firing from the direction of Luanzhou City, and Qin Liangyu officially launched a general offensive.
At the same time, a group of soldiers with white poles came running from a distance. They were 500 reinforcements sent by Qin Liangyu because he was afraid that Wu Shigong could not stop the Jin army.
Hearing the sound of artillery and seeing the white-armed soldiers coming to help, Baduli knew that he had no hope of supporting Luanzhou City anymore. He was very decisive and immediately ordered to take the remaining 600 rearguard troops.
The Jin army headed towards Yongping City.
It was not until Baduli's Jin army disappeared in the distance that Wu Shigong and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Shigong immediately jumped off his horse and ran towards the place where the fatal collision occurred.
At this time, the soldiers searching for the wounded had rescued three wounded. Two of them were seriously injured, and the other was Wu Shigong's mascot, Yang Rusong. Miraculously, he only had a few scratches on the ground and no other injuries.
.
Wu Shigong hadn't taken two steps when he suddenly heard the soldiers searching for the wounded shouting: "Squadron Xue is still alive. Come over and help, he was pinned down by a horse."
Wu Shigong was overjoyed when he heard that. He immediately ran in the direction of the shout. Wu Shigong saw that Xue Qiang's lower body was pressed by his dead horse, but Xue Qiang was full of energy and kept urging: "
Move this horse away quickly." Judging from Xue Qiang's appearance, his life was definitely not in danger. Wu Shigong breathed a sigh of relief.
The surrounding soldiers moved the dead horse aside in a hurry, and helped Xue Qiang, who was wearing a forty or fifty kilogram ring-arm iron armor, up from the ground.
Wu Shigong asked with concern: "How is it?"
Xue Qiang smiled and replied: "It's okay. It's just that my foot twisted a little. Just take two steps and it'll be fine."
Xue Qiang pushed away the soldiers who were supporting him and walked towards Wu Shigong. But after walking three or four steps, Xue Qiang immediately bent down, grabbed his right knee, and shouted
He let out a scream, then raised his head and fell down. The soldiers beside him immediately stepped forward to support him, and Wu Shigong also rushed over.
Wu Shigong held Xue Qiang's hand tightly. Xue Qiang faced Wu Shigong. Although his voice was still calm, there were tears in his eyes and he said: "Uncle, my little one's leg must be broken."
Wu Shigong immediately looked at Xue Qiang's right leg and found that his entire right leg had actually been deformed. Wu Shigong quickly comforted Xue Qiang and said: "It's okay, just find a bruiser to take a look. It will be fine. Look at Li Li now.
Isn’t it nice that Lu is still bouncing around?”
After hearing the consolation, Xue Qiang could only nod his head, but he still held Wu Shigong's hand tightly with his hand. Wu Shigong quickly motioned to the soldiers around him to cut some branches and make a stretcher to carry Xue Qiang away.
At this moment, another soldier shouted: "Come quickly! Team Wei is still alive."
Everyone rushed there again. Wu Shigong squeezed into the crowd and saw that Wei Changlin, who had been stabbed through by Hou Jinbing, was still alive. But he was already on his deathbed.
When Wei Changlin saw Wu Shigong, his eyes immediately brightened up. Wu Shigong knew that Wei Changlin had returned to his original state. He quickly knelt down on one leg, leaned in front of Wei Changlin, and said, "Changlin, do you have anything to say?"
Wei Changlin tried his best to lean over and said to Wu Shigong: "Master..., son! Son!"
After Wei Changlin suppressed the rebellion of the Holy Spirit Society, he bought a woman. Before King Qin's army set off this time, the woman had just given birth to a son for him. Wu Shigong quickly replied: "Your family is my family. Your son
That’s my son.”
Wei Changlin felt relieved after hearing Wu Shigong's words. He lay down relaxedly and murmured: "Mother, mother..." His voice became softer and softer, and finally his eyes widened and he stopped breathing.
The soldiers around him were sobbing, and Wu Shigong also felt that the corners of his eyes were particularly sore.
At this moment, a voice of wisdom reciting sutras came from behind Wu Shigong: "Namo, Amitabha Ye, Duotagadu Ye, Duo Di Yeta, Amilidu Pobi, Amili Duo, Sidan
Popi..." Under the illumination of the setting sun, a layer of halo shimmered around the intelligent figure, making it appear particularly solemn and solemn.
All the soldiers bowed their heads in silence while chanting sutras. After Zhi Zhi finished reciting sutras once, everyone continued to move around.
Wu Shigong saw a horse nearby with a broken leg and screamed in pain. Wu Shigong pulled out the ribs beside him and wanted to give the horse a good time. The horse saw Wu Shigong's actions and seemed to know Wu Shigong.
What did it want to do? It screamed pitifully at Wu Shigong, leaving two big tears in its eyes.
At this moment, an officer asked Wu Shigong for instructions: "Sir, how should we arrange these corpses?"
Wu Shigong thought for a moment, put the ribs back into the scabbard, and ordered: "All the Tatars have their heads cut off. Take all our people back. Those who live in Guide Prefecture, take them to Guide Prefecture, and those who live in the capital."
, and sent them to the capital. All the dead horses were cremated and brought back to Defu for burial. The injured horses were moved to carts. Even if they can no longer be used, we will keep these horses for a lifetime.
.”
At the end of the day, statistics showed that in this battle, Wu Shigong's cavalry and gunmen suffered more than 70 casualties, including 62 killed in action. Yu Ji's army suffered more than 150 casualties.
Ninety-seven people were killed.
Yu Ji came to Wu Shigong and said to Wu Shigong with some shame: "Sir, I almost missed something important just now."
Although those military households suffered heavy losses, they were still very grateful to Wu Shigong because Wu Shigong's cavalry used their own lives to protect the safety of most of the military households.
Wu Shigong smiled at Yu Ji and said: "You did a good job. Your formation did not collapse in the end. And you personally held the formation at that time, and what you did was quite brave. This soldier can be trained, but bravery is absolute
