Chapter 336
"Victory!"
Seeing the army escaped, there was cheering on the village wall. Mr. Xia Shi shouted: "Zhang Heizi, hurry up and chase after him, you can cut off more Tartar heads."
Zhang Songtao said cautiously: "The Tartars still have combat power, so it's better to stop when they see it's better."
He could see clearly that the Qing army formation on the other side of the official road was still strict, and they still had combat power, especially nearly fifty armored soldiers, and about a hundred people were Yu Ding. They basically had horses, and the infantry could not catch up with them when they rode and ran away.
If you barely pursue it, it is not easy to maintain the formation on the official road. The Tartars will fight back, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Although the A-class army is equipped with horses, equestrian training is only carried out to the wild riding stage. You can ride a horse and fight immediately without any skills. If you are suddenly attacked, the infantry riding on the horse will not be their elite cavalry opponents.
If Master Jiu and others chase after him, they will also be surrounded by forty or fifty steps and vests.
Their squad had just returned from the squad and had many scars on their bodies. It would be better not to fall into a hard battle again.
Seeing that all the Tartars retreated, he ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up and rescued the wounded.
The battle was short, but it was quite tragic. From the village wall to the road ahead, there were Qing army corpses everywhere, and some undead wounded were still wailing.
Especially near the entrance of the inner city, there was a dark red area, broken arms and broken armor and weapons everywhere. The bodies of the Qing soldiers were basically incomplete, the snow had been dyed reddish brown, mixed with white ash, and the smoke and blood that had not yet dissipated were really scary.
Everyone went down the village wall to clean the battlefield, and set up a guard with gunmen. The spearmen and Fang Duns hand cleaned up the battlefield. Along the way, they saw the Qing army's corpses, all their heads were cut off, all their armors were peeled off, and all their weapons were cleaned up. The undead cut off their heads like a knife.
Their headless corpses are buried in concentrated areas to prevent plague.
After packing up several shield cars, I saw that the four shield cars were all broken, and there were more than a dozen coated corpses near the back of the car, all of which were twisted and ferocious.
Judging from their appearance, some were killed by the guns and cannons in the village wall, while others were afraid of being killed by the Qing soldiers who were escorted.
Zhang Songtao sighed, no matter whether these people were accomplices of tigers or not, they were all the people who were abducted back then. Now that people die, everything will be settled. They will be cleaned up and there is no need to cut off their heads.
When the battlefield was cleaned to the official road, some unexpected surprises were that the Tartars gave up some supplies, large and small chariots, most of which were food and grass, dozens of stones, as well as pots, pans, tents, felt blankets and other debris.
More than 300 of them went south, and their daily food and drink were not small. Moreover, regardless of whether they were wearing armor or not, their soldiers had horses, some of them had horses, and some of them had horses. More than 300 people plus more than 300 horses and mules, and the daily food and grass was 145 s.
Even if they carry food and grass for three or five days, and each wheelbarrow carries two or three stones, they still need dozens of wheelbarrows to transport it. In addition, a large number of tents, stoves and other items for making fires and rice are also the reason why they need to coat a lot when going to war.
These baggages were heavy and it was inconvenient to escape and carry, so the Tartars abandoned them. Everyone also keenly discovered that there were some broken silver coins scattered along the official road. In particular, some silver was quite large incinerators, and white flowers were quite dazzling in the snow.
Seeing the soldiers' hearts moved, Zhang Songtao strictly forbidden his subordinates to pick them up at will. Several officers discussed for a while, and they all thought that this was the Tartars' strategy to lure the enemy, abandoning the baggage and softening to attract people to pursue, while the retreating Tartars set up an ambush somewhere.
Everyone thought they could not fall into the trap, so Zhang Songtao asked Jiuye and others to chase after him for several miles and pick up the gold and silver. If they were far away, they would not be allowed.
The officers counted that they had all learned the seized heads in the martial arts hall, and basically each of them knew about 1,500 words. The usual calculation and writing were not a problem. Especially Zhang Songtao had studied, had the level of being a scholar, and was also the deputy director of the martial arts hall, so writing and calculation was no problem.
Finally, 101 of the Tartars' heads were captured, with an estimated 46 soldiers wearing armor and fifty-five soldiers without armor.
Among the armored soldiers, there were also some vested cavalrymen, and the number of people was estimated to be about fourteen.
How difficult is the vest spirit cavalry to kill, but now they are all blown up by thousands of enemies, making everyone realize the power of their firearms. Unfortunately, all the war horses they ride were also killed, which makes everyone feel a little regretful.
There are quite a few armor and weapons seized in this battle, with more than a hundred pairs of double-ins, mostly large-shot bows with about ten strength, and arrow bags and flying axes bags and javelin bags. There are also dozens of goose winged swords, dozens of goose winged swords, short axes, hammers, iron whips, picking swords, tiger spears, straight swords, shields, etc.
In terms of clothing and armor, there are fifty pairs of iron-inserted cotton armor, twenty pairs of iron short armor, more than a dozen pairs of leather armor, and more than a dozen pairs of pure cotton armor, as well as warm hats and slings of varying numbers, etc.
Many of these armors are broken and need to be repaired. They are of different styles and need to be modified when used. However, it is a great thing to seize enemy armor and equipment.
The casualties on the ground have also been counted. Sixteen people were killed and seriously injured, mostly in two artillery positions, and the ramp wall was close to Wu Jia at the intersection.
This distance is easy to attack the Tartars, and it is also easy to be attacked by the Tartars. The heavy arrows of the Tartars at close range, their flying axes and javelins, etc. are very threatening.
Especially the artillery was located on the front, and the ramp wall was not high, only more than meter from the ground. The Tartars' weapons could easily attack them.
Many people were injured on the top wall. Fortunately, they were tall and protected by sperm armor. The injuries were generally not serious. After the rescue team lifted them down, there was a great chance of recovery.
This is also the protection of excellent armor. As long as the distance is not too close and has not been shot to the vital point, the arrows are not afraid of being shot. The Tartars have no chance of survival after being shot. From this point of view, muskets have an advantage over bows and arrows.
In the conference hall, the deputy general manager Feng, Li E and others sat down. There were twelve chief and deputy captains of four teams below, including Jiu Ye, Xia Shi Ye, Luo Shiyi, Gao Shier and others.
Listening to Zhang Songtao's results, everyone was happy and showed their emotions. They fought against the famous Tartars with their first army and beheaded more than a hundred of them. This was a great victory.
The captain of the first team, Huang Shouyi, smiled and said, "This is a great victory, President, I should report the victory to Yang Xianggong immediately!"
Team 2 captain Liu Qingqu laughed: "It's time to report the victory immediately. The little chicken is coming soon. Now our Sixth General is so powerful! In the first battle against the Tartars, he beheaded more than a hundred of them. When he meets the brothers of the General Secretary, my face is also bright."
Everyone in the hall was overjoyed. Most of them were from Suining North Bank. With the expansion of the army, a large number of people from North Bank became deputy figures in the captain's team, and the local dialect of swearing in Sui Pi also became the common language for joy and swearing in each team.
Zhang Songtao looked at everyone with a smile: "It is time to report the victory immediately. In terms of the victory, I will entrust Jiu Ye to take it to Tianyue Village to get the military court to scuttle the meritorious service as soon as possible and to provide pensions to the injured and injured brothers."
On the other side of him, Qian Zhongyong bowed his hand: "The delivery of the good news will bring hard work to the Jiu Ye."
Master Jiu laughed and said, "President Zhang is polite, it's just a simple task."
The thirteen cavalry found the information and captured two more Tartars' living occupants. They were about to go south, but were delayed by the Tartars who attacked Zhongwu Village. Now that the Tartars retreated, they naturally had to go south as soon as possible and send the information and living occupants to Tianyue Village.
Although the Sixth General Officer has guards as a commander of the Tangma, how can the Jiuye’s elite cavalry be safe and reliable?
Now the Xin'an Army's military merits are also carried out by the Military Court. Depending on the distance, the great merits will be reviewed within ten days, and the small merits will be limited to five days.
Their military merits are rewarded with silver and meritorious deeds. The maximum reward of silver is 50 taels. There is no limit on merit. However, merits are an important consideration for promotion. They can also be exchanged for physical land, fertile land and beautiful houses, which are very attractive.
Yang He's military merit system has been carefully designed. Not only does it look at the head level, but it is actually mostly for outsiders to see it. It has its own assessment standards within it. It depends on the overall credit, the task completion degree, the ratio of credit between large groups and small groups, etc.
There are also tasks within the team leader, first-line, second-line and third-line posts. For example, the gun soldiers on the ramp walls have achieved great military achievements, high bounties, and many achievements, because they are closer to the enemy and have higher dangers.
To make people engaged in high-risk jobs live, they are inseparable from high bonuses and credit stimulation. Just being energetic but not without supplies.
Master Jiu happily accepted Zhang Songtao's entrustment. After his daughter married Yang He, he became even more polite to the generals.
Especially Zhang Songtao, you can see that this is the target of Yang Xianggong's focus, so you are naturally even more polite.
Of course, he is also keeping a distance from the generals. He has a rich life experience and has his own philosophy of life. He is too close to the generals. If he falls into the eyes of others, he will form cliques and will make Yang Xianggong have unnecessary associations.
Even when his daughter's marriage was in the Three Books and Six Lessons, he asked his eldest son Qian Likui and fourth son Qian Lijue to withdraw from the cavalry team and run the Feiyun Escort Agency with his second son Qian Liyi.
The bureau is headquartered in Xin'anzhuang, and it is armed with escorts to collect local customs and customs in various places. It is also a hidden intelligence force of the Xin'an army.
Master Jiu is very satisfied with his current life, and it is even more rare that his daughter has a good home. What he does now is to not cause any trouble to her.
...
Near noon, the thirteenth cavalry of Jiuye went south, bringing the Tartar horse and mule armor they seized, the six Tartar heads they captured, the two captured Zhengbai Banner vests, and a good news written by Zhang Songtao.
It was only sixty miles from Zhongwu Village to Tianyue Village, and Tongjing Avenue was also the road was relatively easy to walk. They rushed and changed horses. In just half an hour, they rushed to the east gate of the city.
There is a large military camp in front of me, with three gates in the north and southeast. There are also two walls up and down, like a semicircular shape, wrapping the entire Tianyue Mountain in and winding to both ends of Huangchao Lake.
The "Yang" flag on the village wall was rushing, holding two-type Xin'an guns, and gun soldiers wearing soldiers armor were on guard and patrol. They were all iron hats and helmets, crimson cloaks, and were solemn and stern, and the iron helmets and armor shone brightly in the sun. The last one was guarding heavily, and the breath of golden swords and iron horses came to their faces.
This is the Xin'an Army stationed 3,200 Class A, Class B, Central Army, and other 3,200 people in Tianyue Village, the base camp of Tongjing Avenue.
Soon, Jiuye and others entered the military camp. Jiuye held the good news and also met the commander Yang He in the huge convention hall, as well as Minister Yang, Han Daxia, Han Guaner, and Luo Xianjue next to him.
