Han’s Son is Not a Slave: Chapter 140 casualties

After the three battalions of Xiongwei, Zhenlu, and Sijin successfully attacked the mountain, Zhou Shixiang ordered Hujie Battalion to control the main road of Guifeng Mountain, and dispatched two teams to pick up the guard battalion, which 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 Zhenlu, Xiongwei, and Defensive had completely occupied Yutai Temple. Except for a Han army flag and leader, the rest of the Qing soldiers and the chief soldier Wu Jinzhong were worried. It was wiped out, and now the battalions are searching and suppressing the hidden soldiers in various places in the mountains.

Hearing that Wu Jinzhong was dead, Zhou Shixiang was a little disappointed. He wanted to strip the murderer of his wife and son alive, but he didn't want him to die in the chaos of the army, but it was cheaper for him.

After a brief disappointment, Zhou Shixiang arranged for Zhu Er to lead the remnants of the cavalry team to conduct a search and alert in the direction of Xinhui, leaving a group of personal soldiers and three groups of soldiers to guard the Qing army camp and those civilians, and led the other two groups of personal guards. up the mountain.

The battle up the mountain was truly shocking. The corpses of the Qing army and Taiping army were intertwined and piled up.

When they were halfway up the mountain, a team of engineers who had fallen into the camp was cleaning up the mountain road, gathering the bodies of their own soldiers who died in one place, while the rest of the Qing army corpses were thrown directly down the mountain. There were a lot of wounded soldiers in the corpse pile. The way to deal with these wounded soldiers was that the people who were trapped in the camp were very straightforward. The people on their side were carried to the side and carefully bandaged, while the enemy's soldiers were thrown down the mountain as if they were dead. , No matter how they begged, it was useless.

Seeing Zhou Shixiang leading people up, the leader of the team was busy bringing a few small flags to salute. Zhou Shixiang signaled that they don't have to worry about themselves, and quickly sent the injured people to the bottom of the mountain for resettlement. Zhou Shixiang expressed his understanding and absolute support for the way his subordinates treated 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, and too many corpses of children who could never open their eyes. , to see too many streams dyed red with blood.

When dealing with beasts, use the same means to deal with beasts. When dealing with these murderers of the old, weak, women and children, Zhou Shixiang would never talk to them about benevolence, righteousness, and morality. He would never use a dog to bite a person, but a person must not bite a dog. If a person also bites a dog, wouldn't they become like a dog? Goddamn logic to persuade yourself to be moral and benevolent to dogs, then treat them with the best medical conditions and feed them with the best food.

When a dog bites a man, man cannot bite it in the same way. But you can kill it, beat it to death, and never give it another chance to bite.

The Qing army who slaughtered thousands of old and weak women and children in Guifeng Mountain is now a dog.

When he saw Song Xianggong and the others at Daxiong Hall, Zhou Shixiang didn't say anything, only asked about the casualties. The numbers he heard made him feel like a knife.

There were a total of 10,200 campers in the Houying camp from Luoding. Along the way, they "persuaded" some people to join the Taiping Camp, and some voluntarily followed the Taiping Camp, bringing the total number of campers to nearly 13,000. Now, only 4,625 people are left alive. More than 90% of the remaining 4,625 people are women and children, and the number of males has been pitiful.

As the only organic soldier in the rear battalion, Zhao Sihai's 300 soldiers are now only 26; the pre-war 400 security guards are now only 42; the pre-war Kurdish army is 350 Only 29 people remain. The total number of men in the battalions before the war was 2,400. There are now only 159 people left.

The number of casualties in the rear battalion was nearly two-thirds, and the three battalions of Zhenlu, Xiongwei, and Sizhen also suffered a lot in the battle against the Qing army in the mountains. Ge Zheng's prison camp was full of 520 people before the war, and now there are only 0 left. The loss of Shao Jiugong's Xiongwei Camp was not small, but it was better than the Zhenlu Camp. There are only 300 left now. The loss of the trapped camp was the smallest, with less than 100 casualties.

Just as Zhao Sihai and Song Xianggong organized the men of Houying to kill and wound the Qing army based on their advantages and tangibles, the three camps of Zhenlu, Xiongwei, and Siying were also killed and wounded by the condescending Qing army when they went up the mountain. On the contrary, after attacking the mountain, the casualties were very small. Another reason for the heavy casualties of the third battalion was the long-distance rapid march to rescue the rear battalion. During the two-day and one-night rapid march, the officers and soldiers of the third battalion were severely exhausted, and many people were killed because of exhaustion when fighting against the Qing army.

The exact number of casualties 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 Qing army bodies on the mountain and down the mountain that have not been counted and found, so it will be impossible to do it for a while. come up with valid statistics.

After seeing the wounded Zhao Sihai, Zhou Shixiang asked Song Xianggong to immediately arrange for the women from the rear battalion to cooperate with the front battalion to clean up the Yutai Temple, and organize manpower to rescue the wounded soldiers. The most important thing is to treat them as best as possible, so that their wounds will not become inflamed and lose their lives because they are not treated.

When Duke Xianggong of Song organized manpower to treat the wounded, the old monk Qilin of Yutai Temple suddenly found him with a group of monks, saying that the temple had a lot of golden medicine, which was quite effective for knife wounds, and the monks would also help him. He is skilled in medicine, seeing that there are many wounded in the army, if the monks don't help one or two, he can't bear it, and he asks Lord Song to ask the monks to do their bit.

Song Xianggong was naturally overjoyed that the monks could help save people. 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 was hungry. Although the rear camp stripped away all the food that the monks had hidden, they were still eating very tightly these few days. It was said that there were too many people and few porridge. Suddenly relaxed, the stomach naturally growled loudly, but looking around, there was no food to eat. Fortunately, there is a lot of food in the Qing army camp at the foot of the mountain~www.mtlnovel.com~ Zhou Shixiang asked Song Xianggong to organize some people to go down the mountain to the Qing army camp for resettlement, and then organize some people to carry some food up the mountain, so that everyone can eat it at noon full stomach.

Inside and outside the temple, there are abandoned weapons everywhere on the mountain and down the mountain. After searching the east of Yutai Temple, the Zhenlu Camp was called out by Zhou Shixiang to clean up the battlefield. All the weapons were collected and classified. Because Wu Jinzhong's subordinates had a team of Han army flags, Zhou Shixiang especially instructed Ge Zheng that he must collect all the fire guns thrown on the mountain by the Han army flag, and the medicines were indispensable.

Another half an hour has passed, and the search for Yutai Temple and the mountains and hills by the Xiongwei Camp and the Trapped Camp has ended. Together with those who surrendered earlier, more than 400 Qing army prisoners have been captured, including 46 flag soldiers and one other party. The corpse was placed on the ground, but when the Taiping army was carrying it to throw it down the mountain, he shouted loudly for the officer who was found. According to the prisoner's instructions, this person was Lin Youxian, a thousand commander under Wu Jinzhong.

"Qianhu, what to do with these clean dogs?"

Shao Jiugong and Tie Yi stood side by side in front of Zhou Shixiang, waiting for his order. Emotionally, Tie Yi is inclined to execute all these Qing army prisoners, because many relatives of soldiers in his engineer battalion died tragically at the hands of these Qing soldiers, while Shao Jiugong had no family members in the rear camp, so he had no iron. With such a big hatred of Yi, he can deal with it whatever his opinion. (To be continued..)
