Shu Mo was sitting on a big mountain rock, feeling powerless. He had been preparing for a fierce battle just now, but now he was suddenly safe. Shu Mo couldn't believe the facts in front of him.
After it rained, Shu Mo and Zhang Liang's Han army flag immediately turned into a hand-to-hand fight. The fierce battle would not be described in detail. If it weren't for the relatively small place on the top of the mountain, the Han army flag couldn't display its troops; if it weren't for Shu Mo's
They have maintained their battle formation and fought tenaciously. Maybe the entire army of Shu Mo Division has been wiped out long ago.
But even so, when Dorgon paid tribute, Shumo only had about 60 people in formation, and he was surrounded by hundreds of people with Han banners. There might be another battle, and Shumo's department would not be able to support it.
"Sir! We just did a count. Counting minor and serious injuries, we still have eighty-eight people." The person talking to Shumo was a deputy battalion commander. In today's battle, all the commanders and deputy commanders of the regiment were killed, and the deputy commander was killed.
There is only one officer left above the battalion level.
Shu Mo nodded numbly, indicating that he already knew.
But the deputy battalion commander did not leave. He hesitated for a while. He bent down and said to Shu Mofu: "Sir! There were a few people who didn't come out just now. Do you want me to catch them?" Although he spoke in a low voice.
, but the deputy battalion commander said it with gritted teeth.
At the end of the battle just now, Shu Mo once shouted for all the soldiers to come closer and form a formation. In the end, more than 60 people formed an formation. But now after the battle, there are 88 people in the roll call. Excluding those who are injured and cannot fight, they must be
There were a few people who were afraid of death who didn't dare to show up just now and hid among the dead bodies and pretended to be dead. That's why the deputy battalion commander was so angry.
Shu Mo quietly listened to Runing Jun's singing at the foot of the mountain. After a while, he sighed: "Hey -! Forget it! Just pretend you don't know anything! It's not easy to live."
The cruelty of the battle has exceeded the limit of endurance. Human beings are afraid of death. There are so many comrades who have fought side by side, so why bother? Everyone who is alive is a hero.
After this battle, this nameless hill was named Blood Ridge, and these eighty-eight people were called the Eighty-Eight Warriors of Blood Ridge. In the official documents of the Runing Army, the Battle of Hejian was also officially named the Battle of Blood Ridge
The tenacious fighting style of Shu Mo and his infantry regiment made the name of this secondary battlefield abandoned by the commanders of both sides become the official name of the entire battle.
It wasn't until the backs of the Qing army disappeared in the distance that the singing of the Runing army stopped. But something strange happened at this time. The soldiers of the Runing army who were standing upright fell to the mud one after another. Excessive physical exertion
, the heavy rain took away a lot of body heat, coupled with the long-term nerve tension, causing quite a few Runing soldiers to faint at this time. The string was tightened for too long, and once it was relaxed, it
People can't stand it anymore.
"Medical soldier! Hurry up and save people!" Wu Shigong shouted anxiously when he saw the soldier beside him fainting.
But at this moment, a fast horse galloped over. When the cavalry on the horse saw Wu Shigong, he cried out: "Marshal Wu, my master is gone! My master is gone!"
Wu Shigong recognized the cavalryman when he saw him. That man was the captain of Li Lu's personal soldiers. Without saying a word, Wu Shigong led his own soldiers and flew towards where Li Lu was.
From a distance, Wu Shigong saw Li Lu lying in a swarm of chariots with the carriage door opened. Wu Shigong rushed over, jumped off his horse, and rushed to Li Lu's side.
Fortunately, Li Lu had not closed his eyes at this time. When he saw Wu Shigong coming, he smiled at Wu Shigong with all his strength and said in a weak voice: "Brother-in-law! He is a man from the capital! This fight is exciting!..."
After finishing speaking, Li Lu finally closed his eyes with satisfaction.
"Master! Wake up——!" Li Lu's personal captain immediately threw himself on Li Lu. There was a cry all around. Wu Shigong also felt that his nose was sore and his eyes were a little moist.
Unexpectedly, Li Lu opened his eyes again amidst the loud cries of the captain of the soldiers. In Wu Shigong's eyes, he was surprised that Li Lu had faked the corpse and resurrected him. Li Lu cursed: "I don't want to die yet. I can't even sleep for a while."
I'm going to be woken up by you! Get out of here!"
Wu Shigong quickly motioned to the doctor who was following him to take a look at Li Lu's physical condition. After checking, he determined that Li Lu was just overworked and his life was not in danger. It turned out that it was Li Lu who collapsed on the ground after the war.
It was so scary that the captain of his personal army made a mistake.
Under Wu Shigong's unkind eyes, the captain of the soldiers who was giggling now knew something was wrong, and he kept dodging back, but how could Wu Shigong hold back this tone? He rushed forward and punched and kicked him
After the beating, Wu Shigong pointed at the captain and yelled: "Don't let me see you in the future, otherwise I'll beat you every time I see you."
Although he was beaten and scolded by Wu Shigong, the captain of Li Lu's personal soldiers was still giggling.
Although Li Lu encountered an error, bad news followed one after another. Only when the various armies tallied up the casualties did Wu Shigong realize that the casualties in this battle were so heavy.
More than 7,800 people in the Runing Army were killed in action, and more than 8,000 people were slightly or seriously injured or fainted from exhaustion. Only a little over 20% of the intact personnel were injured. But even these intact personnel were almost completely exhausted.
Two or three people together could not lift a wounded person. This is why the Runing army did not entangle the Qing army's retreat. It was really powerless! In addition, Li Lu's 1,500 cavalry also suffered casualties.
Nearly nine hundred.
At the first level of the town and co-command, Li Sanhe and Huang Qiqi were killed, and six people including He Fei and Xiong Zhengen were injured. Eight chief and deputy commanders of each regiment were killed, and 17 chief and deputy battalion commanders were killed. The number of casualties among lower-level officers was even greater. This number
This is what the Runing Army has always insisted on: officers need to be the first to charge on the battlefield. This has also caused the casualty ratio of the Runing Army's officers to far exceed that of the entire army.
Shu Mo's infantry regiment was almost wiped out, as were the two infantry regiments of the Rotation Training Association. The Marine Corps suffered more than 70% casualties. Except for Wu Shigong's personal troops, the casualty rates of other troops exceeded 50%.
Even the Artillery Association is no exception.
What made Wu Shigong's heart even more burning was that although Zhi Zhi led all the doctors and medical soldiers in the army to do their best, there were simply not enough manpower and medicinal materials. He could not even find a dry place for the wounded to lie down, let alone help them find a dry place to lie down.
We have to protect the wounded from the rain and keep them warm. So the number of casualties has been rising sharply.
It was not until more than an hour later that the cavalry corps that came to the rescue arrived, and the Runing army had enough manpower to carry all the wounded back to their camp. And the bodies of all the dead soldiers and all the artillery, the Runing army
The army can only stay on the battlefield and postpone the matter. (To be continued...)
