Chapter 50 finally retreated


Chen Liyuan secretly praised Lu Xiangsheng's generosity, snatching a wounded man back with ten taels of silver.

He knew the appeal to his men, and Lu Xiangsheng made such a rule to avoid making it difficult for him.

This kind of Shangguan is indeed a good one.

Thinking about these things, he also speeded out.

At the same time, he shouted: "Two wounded soldiers carry one, two wounded soldiers carry one, be careful."

Du Guangting was struggling to hold on, and the situation improved greatly after receiving the support of the cavalry battalion, but overall he was still at a disadvantage.

The main problem is the wounded soldiers.

Although most of the wounded soldiers grit their teeth and don't make loud noises, the soldiers around them will inevitably be affected if they can see the appearance of the soldiers.

They are worried that they will become the next wounded soldiers.

Then they can Trouble.

At this time, Chen Liyuan and Ma Guangxian shouted: "We are here to rescue the wounded under the order of Commander Lu.

We are not armed.

Please don't worry, soldiers."

He was self-aware and knew that his men suddenly rushed into the Guards, which might cause misunderstandings. , so let’s say hello first.

Soon, those "brave" Han soldiers rushed over and saw the wounded man on the ground.

They immediately lifted him up one after another, and then ran back quickly.

If they were fast, they might be able to kill several people.

This is a chance to save people, and it’s all money.

Outside the city gate, medical officers and apprentices were waiting here.

Some young men were carrying stretchers.

The Han army put the wounded on the stretchers.

A Guards officer put twenty silver coins in their hands and looked at them.

Such exquisite silver coins made the Han soldiers run even more happily.

Although two people would get the same amount of money for carrying a wounded soldier as one person would get for carrying a corpse, the Han soldiers felt that it was unlucky to carry a corpse, so they chose to carry the wounded soldier back first, and only then chose to carry the corpse when there were no wounded soldiers.

In this way, all the wounded soldiers were quickly carried down, and the Guards soldiers already knew that only certain parts would be injured if they were hit by arrows, so they protected the easily injured parts better, and the number of wounded was greatly reduced.

The wounded were properly taken care of, which also boosted morale.

At this time, Du Guangting ordered to fight and retreat, and slowly broke away from the arrow coverage of the Hou Jinjia soldiers.

However, at this distance, the attack power of the fire blunderbuss was not greatly weakened, so the casualties of the Hou Jin soldiers still existed, and There will basically be no wounded in the Guards.

Yue Tuo looked at the Houjin archers around him.

They all shot about seven or eight arrows.

The accuracy and power of the arrows shot were greatly weakened, and some people could no longer continue shooting, so he ordered the armored soldiers who could shoot arrows to shoot while they were there.

Advance forward, close to the distance with the Guards, wait until the distance is close enough, and start a hand-to-hand charge.

Lu Xiangsheng had been observing the situation with a telescope at the top of the city.

Seeing that the Jin soldiers had entered the range of the artillery, he ordered the artillery fire.

The artillerymen were already eager to try.

After finally receiving the order, they quickly fired.

The rumbling sound of the artillery soon became loud.

Iron balls, large or small, fell into the rear Jin soldiers' formation, or jumped, or rolled, and were taken away.

The lives of each soldier.

As long as the iron ball rubs it, it is basically hopeless.

Even if it dies temporarily, the miserable cry is enough to scare other Hou Jin soldiers from rushing forward.

Yue Tuo also stayed for a while.

It was not that he had never seen the artillery of the Ming army, but the artillery of the Guards seemed to hit farther than what he had seen before, and the shells were larger.

He temporarily forgot to give the order to retreat. , at this time the second burst of cannon fire sounded again, knocking over another piece.

Yue Tuo hurriedly shouted: "Ming Jin quickly."

The golden sound rang out, and Hou Jin's soldiers, who had been frightened by the power of the cannon, ran back desperately, ignoring the screams of their companions around them.

Lu Xiangsheng asked the messenger to call Chen Liyuan and said to him: "The Jin army should not dare to come within the range that the artillery can hit now.

Does General Chen mean to chop off some heads?"

Chen Liyuan said sheepishly: "It's all the credit of the Guards soldiers.

How dare we take credit?"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled and said: "You have three heads and I have seven, how about it?"

The Guards did not need the heads to report their merits, but Lu Xiangsheng still wanted the Han army to go out and cut off the heads, firstly to practice their courage, and secondly to make them unable to retreat.

If you quit, you can feel more at ease when we get along with each other in the future.

Chen Liyuan was overjoyed.

After thanking Lu Xiangsheng, he took the Han army out to chop off the heads.

According to the regulations of the Ming army, one head was worth fifty taels of silver or one meritorious deed.

Although the actual income may not be that much, even if it is discounted in half, one head would be worth half.

The head is worth more than seven taels of silver.

At this time, the second brigade had retreated.

Du Guangting came to the city wall with a dejected face and saluted: "Commander, my general's leadership is incompetent, which has caused heavy losses to our army.

Please punish me, commander."

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "I don't blame you, I was too careless.

Last time I won a small victory, I despised Jiannu.

The Holy Spirit said that in a field battle with Jiannu, you must have more people than the enemy, or rely on fortifications.

I forgot "According to the teachings of the Holy One, your command is correct.

This failure has nothing to do with you.

Go and clean up the situation."

Du Guangting went to count the casualties in frustration, but not long after, Chen Liyuan also returned with the Han army beheading them.

He smiled at Lu Xiangsheng and said regretfully: "There are a total of 211 levels, and some of them have lost their heads.

In fact, there are more than 220 levels.

We don't dare to kill those killed by fire guns in the distance."

Go and cut it, it looks like there are more than two hundred."

Lu Xiangsheng asked with a smile: "General Chen, do you want to get money or report your merits?"

Chen Liyuan looked at Lu Xiangsheng's face and said: "The general will use half to reward his subordinates and half to report his merits."

Lu Xiangsheng felt relieved.

If he took all the money, it would mean that he was ready to escape at any time.

But taking half of it now to show his merits meant that he wanted to live well in the Ming Dynasty.

This was a good thing.

In the evening, Lu Xiangsheng convened a meeting with the generals.

The first issue was the issue of battle damage.

One hundred and sixty-eight Guardsmen died, 237 were seriously injured, and 320 were slightly injured.

According to the military medical officer, as long as they survive today Even those who are seriously injured can survive if they don't die at night.

There are 211 gold heads in total, plus about 200 more without heads.

The number of injured should be less than that of the Guards, but the number is limited.

Overall, the exchange ratio is acceptable. .

However, the Guards did not see it that way, because the equipment of the Guards was already stronger than that of the Houjin soldiers, and the Guards had a smaller number, so such an exchange ratio was not worthwhile.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Let's defend the city.

If this continues, all of our own people will be wiped out first."

Du Guangting asked: "Commander, why doesn't the emperor recruit more Guards?

If we have three divisions now, two will be enough.

Yue Tuo has been killed by us long ago.

Our Guards only have three divisions and one brigade.

To defend the capital, only a few people like us can be dispatched to Liaodong.

We have so many people in the Ming Dynasty.

If the emperor builds twenty divisions, Jiannu will really be defeated
