After the three battalions of Xiongwei, Zhenyu, and Trap successfully attacked the mountain, Zhou Shixiang ordered the Hujie battalion to control the main road of Guifeng Mountain, and dispatched two teams of men and horses to pick up the guards battalion that was slowly approaching the food convoy.
After the sky was bright, Shao Jiugong and Ge Zheng sent people to report that the three battalions of Zhenjiao, Xiongwei and Trapping had completely occupied Yutai Temple, except for a Han army banner leader, the rest of the Qing soldiers and the general soldier Wu Jinzhong were all annihilated, and now the battalions are searching for and hiding in various places in the mountains to clear the net.
Hearing that Wu Jinzhong was dead, Zhou Shixiang was slightly disappointed, he wanted to skin alive the direct culprit who caused the death of his father, mother, wife and children, but he didn't want this person to die in the chaos, but it was cheaper for him.
After a short period of disappointment, Zhou Shixiang arranged for Zhu Er to lead the remnants of the cavalry team to search and guard in the direction of Xinhui, leaving one team of personal soldiers and three teams of soldiers to guard the Qing army camp and those people, and led the other two personal guards up the mountain.
The corpses of the Qing army and the Taiping army were intertwined and layered together, slashing spears and smashing stones, all kinds of deaths made people unbearable, and the air was full of the smell of bloody nose.
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, a group of sappers who had fallen into the camp were cleaning up the mountain road, gathering the corpses of their own soldiers who had died in battle in one place, and the corpses of the rest of the Qing soldiers were thrown directly down the mountain.
There were many wounded soldiers who were not dead in the corpse pile, and the people in the camp did a very simple way to deal with these wounded soldiers, their own people were lifted aside and carefully bandaged, and the enemy ones were also thrown down the mountain like dead people, and it was useless for them to plead.
Seeing Zhou Shixiang leading people up, the general flag of the team leader hurriedly came over with a few small flags to salute, and Zhou Shixiang signaled that they didn't have to worry about themselves, and quickly sent the injured people for treatment.
Zhou Shixiang expressed his understanding and absolute support for his subordinates' treatment of the wounded and corpses of the Qing army, because he had seen too many corpses hastily buried by the Qing army at the foot of the mountain, too many corpses of children who could never open their eyes, and too many streams stained red with blood.
Treat the beasts with the same means of beasts, treat these murderers who kill the old and weak, women and children, Zhou Shixiang will never talk to them about benevolence and morality, will not use any dog to bite people, but people must not bite dogs, if people also bite dogs, wouldn't they become the same bastard logic as dogs to persuade themselves to talk about morality and benevolence to dogs, and then treat them with the best medical conditions, and feed them with the best food.
When a dog bites a person, a person cannot bite it in the same way, but he can beat it to death, alive, and never give it a chance to bite again.
The Qing army, which slaughtered thousands of old and weak women and children in Guifeng Mountain, is now dogs.
After seeing Song Xianggong and them in the Daxiong Palace, Zhou Shixiang didn't say anything, only asked about the casualties, and the numbers he heard made his heart twist.
The total number of campers in the camp was 10,200 when they set out from Luoding, and along the way, they successively "persuaded" some people to join the Taiping camp, plus some who voluntarily followed the Taiping camp, the total number of campers was nearly 13,000, and now, only 4,625 people are still alive.
More than ninety percent of the remaining 4,625 are women and children, and the number of men is pitifully small.
As the only formed soldier in the rear battalion, there are only 26 of the 300 soldiers under Zhao Sihai; The pre-war establishment of 400 security guards now consists of 42; The pre-war Kuku army, which had a strength of 350 men, now has only 29 people left.
Before the war, the battalions numbered 2,400 men, but now only 159 remain.
The casualties of the rear battalion were nearly two-thirds, and the three battalions of Zhenling, Xiongwei, and Trapping also suffered a lot of losses in the battle of attacking the Qing army on the mountain.
Ge Zheng's shock camp was full of people before the war, and now there are only 230 people left.
Shao Jiugong's Xiongwei Battalion suffered a lot of losses, but it was a little better than the Zhenyu Battalion, and now there were only 300 people left.
The losses of the trapped camp were minimal, with less than a hundred casualties.
Just as Zhao Sihai and Song Xianggong organized the men of the rear battalion to kill and injure the Qing army on the basis of favorable tangible results, the three battalions of Zhenyu, Xiongwei, and Trapping were also killed and wounded by the condescending Qing army when they went up the mountain, but they suffered very few casualties after attacking the mountain.
Another reason for the heavy casualties of the 3rd Battalion was the long-distance rapid march to rescue the rear battalion, during which the officers and men of the 3rd Battalion were seriously overdrawn in their physical strength, resulting in many people being killed due to exhaustion during the battle with the Qing army.
The specific number of casualties on the part of the Qing army has not yet been counted, because there are still a small number of Qing troops hiding in various places in Yutai Temple, and there are corpses of Qing soldiers on and off the mountain that have not been counted and found, so it will not be possible to make effective statistics for a while.
After visiting the wounded Zhao Sihai, Zhou Shixiang asked Song Xianggong to immediately arrange for the women of the rear camp to cooperate with the front camp to clean up the Yutai Temple, and organize people to rescue those wounded soldiers as much as possible.
When Song Xianggong organized people to treat the wounded, the old monk Qilin of Yutai Temple suddenly came to him with a group of monks, saying that the temple has a lot of gold medicine, which is quite effective for knife wounds, and the monks will also have some rescue medical skills.
The monks could help save people, Song Xianggong was naturally overjoyed, how could he refuse, he agreed immediately, and asked someone to lead the monks to the place where the wounded were concentrated to help.
After the war, everyone is hungry, although the back camp stripped the monks of the hidden food, but these days are also tight to eat, the so-called people more porridge less, can only barely maintain starvation, this will escape from death, after a high degree of tension suddenly relaxed, the stomach will naturally scream, but look around, how can there be food to eat.
Fortunately, there was a lot of food in the Qing army camp at the foot of the mountain, and Zhou Shixiang asked Song Xianggong to organize some people to go down the mountain to settle in the Qing army barracks, and then organize people to carry some food up the mountain on their hands, so as to make everyone eat at noon.
Inside and outside the temple, there are abandoned weapons everywhere on the mountain and under the mountain, and the Zhenyu battalion was transferred out by Zhou Shixiang to clean up the battlefield after searching the east side of Yutai Temple, and all the weapons were concentrated and classified.
Because Wu Jinzhong's subordinates had a team of Han army flags, Zhou Shixiang specially told Ge Zheng that all the fire guns thrown on the mountain by the Han army flag must be collected, and the medicine must be missing.
Half an hour has passed, the search for the Yutai Temple and the mountain has ended, together with the previous surrender, a total of more than 400 Qing prisoners were captured, including 46 flag soldiers, and one lying on the ground pretending to be a dead body, only to be found to be a living officer when he was carried by the Taiping army to throw down the mountain.
"Qianhu, what to do with these clear dogs" Shao Jiugong and Tie Yi stood side by side in front of Zhou Shixiang, waiting for his order.
Emotionally, Tie Yi was inclined to execute all these Qing prisoners, because many of the relatives of the soldiers in his engineer battalion died tragically at the hands of these Qing troops, but Shao Jiugong did not have such a big hatred as Tie Yi because his subordinates did not have family members in the rear camp, and his opinion was to deal with it as much as possible. oshow7 t1706231537:
