...

As night fell, Hukoupo, which had experienced a bloody battle for the afternoon, finally calmed down.

After review by the staff of the Statistics Department of the Army, Ge Ying's troops had a total of 11,200 people, 3,500 people were killed in battle, 2,200 people were injured, and the rest became prisoners, while the total number of them was 73 casualties, of which 22 were killed in battle, and the rest were all just skin injuries, which was nothing serious.

Among the more than 2,000 enemy wounded patients, there were more than 300 seriously injured patients. The New Guard directly gave each of them a knife to understand the pain, because the New Guard did not waste so much wounded medicine on them, and they were still completely dead.

The remaining 6,900 prisoners were tied into a string with ropes, and were ready to hand over to Xu Wenjing.

"Brother, where did you come from? Looking at you, it seems that you are not a local official army? How can the local official army have such excellent equipment?"

A bearded captive soldier almost caught a new guard soldier who was guarding him.

The soldier glared at the captive soldiers with disgust, snorted coldly and said, "You guys who harm the people, be honest with me, it's best not to have any ideas!"

The captive soldier said flatteringly: "Brother, don't look like he is keeping people thousands of miles away. They are all soldiers and eat food, and they are also considered family members.

Look at how painful my back of my hands is, can I help me loosen the rope more comfortable?"

"Get out~" the sergeant roared, kicked him to the ground, and said viciously: "You are giving me a smile on my face,

You are worthy of being compared with my dignified Far Eastern Army? What is it that if you don’t urinate and reflect your virtues!

If you don’t shut up, I will beat you out!”

The captive soldier endured the severe pain and tried to move up, muttering softly: "Why are you so fierce? You are all in the army, what's the difference?"

Unexpectedly, this sentence happened to be heard by the soldiers, and immediately grabbed him from the ground and said angrily: "What's the difference? Just because our Far East Army will not harm ordinary people like you, the group of **s!

Look at what you have done these days. This will be in my Far East Army. As long as you touch it, you will immediately fall to the ground. Do you know what the difference is there?"

Upon hearing this, the captive soldier rolled down his Adam's apple and plucked up the courage and said, "Do you think we are willing to harm the people? These are all caused by the birds,

I haven't paid military salaries for half a year. If I don't do this, my whole family will starve to death. Do you know? What do you want us to do?"

"Come here for me!"

The soldiers grabbed the captive soldiers' hair and walked towards the location where the women and children were.

When he arrived at the group of women and children, the soldiers pressed him to the ground, pointed at the frightened women, and said to him sternly: "Your Shangguan has not paid military salaries, so you beasts can do whatever you want to harm these good people, right?

Open your eyes and see clearly for me. Is it the military pay these women in front of you who owe you? Why do they suffer such a crime? If you have the affair, go to your Shangguan to settle the score. What is the ability to show your power to a group of women and children?

You group of despicable things have caused people to be happy for the rest of their lives. If it weren’t for the strict military discipline, I would really want to chop off your dog’s head with one knife!

Tell me, have the women and children in front of you owed you military pay? Why do you want to harm them if you don’t have one? Damn, it’s really worse than beasts…”

After saying that, the soldier raised his leg and kicked the captured soldiers to the ground.

Upon hearing this, the captive soldier still said stubbornly: "Aren't he just playing with a few women? What's the big deal? In the years of chaotic times, the most valuable thing is women..."

The soldier stepped on the captive soldier's face and shouted loudly: "Have you ever thought that if your wife and daughter were also ridden under the crotch now, what would you think?!

Today you can show your power to these innocent women and children, and your wife and daughter will be pressed under a beast like you to cry. Have you ever thought that this would happen?"

The captive soldiers were silent, staring at the women looking at them resentfully, and then thinking of their wife at home, their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

“Wow…”

After a long time, the captive soldiers finally couldn't help crying loudly. After the soldiers let go of their feet, he struggled to kneel in front of the women and children and kowtowed and admit his mistakes.

But the women and children were moved by the scene. When they remembered the humiliating experiences during this period, tears involuntarily fell from their eyes and sobbed in a low voice.

"It's time to eat~"

At this moment, a team of soldiers pushed a bucket of cart filled with meat and bone porridge and shouted to the group of women and children.

When the sergeant who was leading the cart saw this scene, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Dear sisters, what's wrong with you? What happened? Don't be sad, come on, drink some hot porridge to drive away the cold..."

The soldiers' words immediately made the women and children react, wiped away the tears from the corners of their eyes, and waited to receive their porridge.

They didn't expect that there would be their own food at night. They thought that the dry food this afternoon was already a day's meal, but they didn't expect that there would be hot food to eat at night.

"Thank you, Jun Ye, I am really my rebirth parents. The young girl really doesn't know how to repay you..."

When bowls of hot meat porridge were distributed to their hands, all the women and children thanked the soldiers with gratitude.

"Oh, eat, eat more, and when the military governor comes, your hard days will come to an end. He really cares about the people..."

The sergeant looked at the thankful look of these women and children, and couldn't help but feel deeply moved. When he recalled his relatives' carefree food and clothing under the protection of the Far East Military Governor's Office, he compared the current scene, and was particularly grateful to Liu Ce for changing their life trajectory.

"Eat slowly, if you don't have enough, you can add more. After eating, you can rest for a night. Those who want to go home will leave. Those who don't have home will go to Yuanyang City to avoid it.

There are people there to take care of you, don’t be afraid, our Far East Army is all good people and will not hurt you..."

Watching the women and children eating the porridge in the bowl, the soldiers who delivered the porridge were all comforting them.

On the hillside of Hukoupo, Meng Gong and Cheng Buzhi sat huggingly beside a pile of ignited bonfires, discussing their next plan.

Cheng Bushi took his pipe in his mouth, took a sip of cigarettes, and after a long time he spit out a cigarette ring, he said to Meng Gong: "The new army was unexpected, and he was worried that more or less soldiers would escape in the battle. It seemed that he was really worried..."

Meng Gong replied: "This is not surprising. In the past year, the rigorous practice has been carried out, and military discipline and regulations have penetrated into the hearts of the soldiers.

In addition, the treatment of the military camp is the best in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. If I don’t want to fight to the death, then I, the temporary commander, will have no shame to stay..."

Cheng Bushi nodded and sighed: "Now I finally understand why the Qingfeng Camp established by Luo Song is no match for the Far East Army. The gap is not just about equipment and morale.

More importantly, what Qingfeng Camp lacks is the momentum to truly protect the people. Although Luo Song repeatedly said that he could not harm ordinary people, it was only forced by personal will.

It is impossible for the soldiers of Qingfeng Camp to experience the importance of that responsibility in person, alas..."

Meng Gong pulled down the bonfire and chuckled: "General Cheng doesn't need to sigh. In fact, he can train Qingfeng Camp to the point of defeating the Thunder Army. I admire Luo Song very much.

But the army under the command of the General Military Supervisor was too incredible. It is not unfair to have Qingfeng Camp defeated under his command..."

After shaking off the remaining cigarette residue in the pipe, Cheng Bushi said to Meng Gong: "I won't mention these old things for now. General Meng, our army won a great victory this time, where should we go next?

Should we go back to Yuanyang City to retaliate against the military advisor?”

Meng Gong shook his head and took out a letter from his arms: "No, next step we will march directly to Yunzhou City. This is a letter written by the military advisor. He will send someone to deliver the subsequent food and supplies to us. We must ensure that our army recover Yunzhou City as quickly as possible..."

Cheng Buzhi frowned, took Xu Wenjing's letter from Meng Gong, looked carefully, and couldn't help but sigh:

"The military advisor is worthy of being highly valued by the military supervisor. We have long expected that our new army will win the first battle. Let us take advantage of the opportunity to face the city and launch a decisive battle with Fang Da and Tang Jue.

But the soldiers marched for days and then went through a big battle, can they still carry out such a fierce battle? You must know that siege is no more like ambushing the city, and there will be great casualties..."

Meng Gong smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about the physical strength of the soldiers. Although you are a little tired, you are still full of energy.

What's more, just experienced a bloody battle and won a great victory. It was the morale that just offset the fatigue brought by the marching. If you don't want to fight again,

As for the strong attack on Yunzhou City, our army lacks siege equipment, so it is naturally impossible. Therefore, in this battle, it is only possible to attack Yunzhou by siege, but not by force..."

"Go ahead of wisdom?" Cheng Buzhi pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized and said to Meng Gong: "General Meng, can you mean..."

Meng Gong nodded meaningfully: "That's right, and it's extremely feasible. There is a case of military governors defeating Gao Yang without bloodshed, and I just want to imitate it..."

Cheng Bushi said, "Then let the general go. After all, the general has served the thief, and there is still some bandit aura on his body. Fang Da will definitely not doubt it..."

Meng Gong shook his head and refused, "No, it's better to go there personally. Fang Da is not afraid. On the contrary, Tang Jue must deal with it carefully. This person is very cunning, so it's more reassuring to have me personally..."

"Tang Jue? General Meng, how did you know about his character?" Cheng Buzhiqi said.

Meng Gong smiled and said, "General Cheng, his father is the Grand Marshal of the Palace Commander of the current dynasty. How could he not understand the temperament of generals from all over the country?"

Cheng Bushi nodded: "So that's it, but General Meng, you, as the main general, are too risky. Please believe that the last general, the last general will definitely..."

Meng Gong waved his hand and interrupted Cheng Bushi's request: "Don't say anything more, tomorrow I will take two hundred followers straight to Yunzhou City.

You lead the army and then follow slowly. Three days later, you and I will meet under Yunzhou City. At that time, I will open the city gate as an insider and let you enter the city..."

Seeing that Meng Gong had made up his mind, Cheng Buzhi no longer advised him, so he bowed and said, "General Meng, be careful in everything..."
