Chapter 119 Busy after the war
This battle!
Zheng Zhi's iron armor in Weizhou, including the wounded, was only 2,000. He was killed in a total of 1,000 people.
More than 1,300 infantrymen in Qingzhou were killed in battle.
Dangxiang attacked the village and killed 3,000 light cavalry, and more than 1,400 elite iron cavalry were killed.
More than 5,300 prisoners of Dangxiang Qingqi.
He gathered six thousand war horses, and thousands of dead horses were lying in front of the village.
Weapons and armor are ignored.
The cavalry of Weizhou and the infantry of Qingzhou were all returned to the camp to repair it. The three thousand brigades buried pots to make rice and treat the wounded.
All 20,000 troops were out of the camp, cleaned up the battlefield, and separated the bodies of our enemies and us. All the bodies of the Western Army were transported into the camp and placed them, and the bodies of the Dangxiang were dug to burn and buried.
Zheng Zhi hung his arms and looked at the crowded Dangxiang people in the inner village, all tied tightly. He was thinking about how to deal with it.
This time was obviously different from before. Most of the prisoners were women and children, with less than two thousand men. At this time, the inner village was 4,000 women and children, 7,800 men, and more than 5,000 soldiers from Dangxiang. Tens of thousands of Dangxiang people really gave Zheng Zhi a headache.
"Brother Luda, what do you think? Another six thousand good horses are coming. This time you will never think about Zhu Shi's horse again. Haha..." After returning from Dasheng, Shi Jin's face was full of joy, and his words were full of smiles.
"Dalang, ah... that guy Zhu Shi shouldn't have a horse!" Lu Da was still heartbroken when he heard Zhu Shi's horse. Although he had six thousand more horses, he could not let go of the three thousand good horses that pulled the cart.
"Haha, Brother Luda, I really don't know that you are so stingy in front of you. In the future, you will naturally have more and more horses, and three thousand horses are the most important." Shi Jin was just kidding with Luda.
"I won't say much to you. The Sha family took the troops to guard the horses. I can't let that guy Zhu Shi be beaten up any more." Lu Da was too lazy to listen to Shi Jin's teasing words, and he felt that the good horses he just got were really important. Ten thousand yuan of silver was worth nothing in Lu Da's heart. A good horse was missing, but Lu Da felt very distressed. It can be seen that this old military formation has found the meaning of life, and the battle formation will eventually be Lu Da's destination.
Sun Shengchao once again took Zheng Zhi's letter and rushed straight to Weizhou. There was only one message in the letter, that is, the war was about to be ahead of schedule, and Tong Xianggong should have made plans early, and he also asked more elite soldiers to come and help. He asked the prisoners about handling the matters.
There is another letter to Zheng Zhi's family in Weizhou. Naturally, he won the battle and received peace. Besides, some Dangxiang people were vulnerable and they didn't even see the Dangxiang people, so that the Dangxiang people would be defeated and so on. They were so comforting words like everyone in the family could rest assured.
Tonight, the village is full of meat smells everywhere, and thousands of dead horses are dead, so horse meat cannot be wasted.
But the smell of meat and blood are intertwined in the air, which makes people really hard to have much appetite.
Early the next morning, countless soldiers with tools sat on the carriage and set off to the Shaniuling.
A large number of Dangxiang people appeared on the construction site, and their legs were connected together, making these Dangxiang people unable to take big steps.
The Xiang army, Qingzhou infantry, and Weizhou cavalry all went to the construction site to supervise the work to prevent mistakes.
The construction site was full of shouts and beatings, and the whip whipped the body, and the skin was full of flesh.
With the urging of fists and feet, the imperial guards will fight, the wing army will fight, and the mate army will fight.
The imperial soldiers were even more ruthless, as if they were not doing anything on the construction site, but only for their brothers and comrades who died in battle yesterday.
Zheng Zhi's scouts sent more, farther away, near Dingxicheng, Xishoubaotai Army Division, 300 miles away.
One man, two horses and three horses, the entire Xixia land near Roulang Mountain was filled with scouts of the Western Army.
The scouts were even more openly riding horses in the daytime. Just under the noses of many Dangxiang people, one person rode a few horses and ran wildly. The scouts of the five-man team led more than a dozen horses to travel.
A few days ago, Dangxiang people kept chasing the Song people scouts who appeared in front of them, but most of the time they returned without success. After a few days, they watched the Song people beat the horse. The scouts were braver and bolder, without hiding their whereabouts.
Now that things have come, Zheng Zhi naturally no longer considers leaking news. Zheng Zhi must know every move of the enemy,
"Report!"
"Speak quickly!" Zheng Zhi sat in the middle of the tent and was writing letters by himself. This was the first time Zheng Zhi actually started writing letters. It was also Zheng Zhi who practiced diligently recently when he was in the camp. After he had some confidence, he also tried to write for himself.
"Report to the general, there were many Dangxiang soldiers coming to Dingxi City at the foot of Roolang Mountain last night, and today, soldiers from the north also entered the city one after another." Dingxi City is at the foot of the mountain that continues northward on Roolang Mountain, and is the headquarters of the Xishoubaotai Army Division. It is only two hundred miles away from Zheng Zhi.
"How many people are there? Are they elite?" Zheng Zhi stopped the pen in his hand, only caring about these issues.
"Last night it was about 3,000, and today it was about 2,000, all of which were leather armor."
"Tap again!" Zheng Zhi slowly stretched out his brows, tidied up the cloth strap around his neck with his right hand, placed his broken arm on the table, and let the neck that had been hanging his arms for a rest.
"Summon Wang Jin, Lin Chong, Shi Jin, and Lu Da to the camp." The core of Zheng Zhi was still these people, but there was no wise strategist among the four. Only Wang Jin was more thoughtful because of his age and experience.
The four of them entered the camp to meet each other and sat on both sides.
"Teacher Wang, Dingxi City has increased its troops, and it has reached about 5,000. I think it is still increasing its troops. What should we do this?" Zheng Zhi asked. Although he asked a few people to discuss, Zheng Zhi was constantly thinking about it and slowly forming his own ideas.
"General, it's time to go to Weizhou to seek help." It's also respectful to call the general in the army. At this time, Wang Jin's first thought of was asking for help. If the enemy increases his troops, he naturally needs to increase his troops.
"The letters for help have been sent to Weizhou, but we have the advantage at this time, but we cannot allow Dangxiang people to assemble their troops so smoothly." Zheng Zhi said.
"What are the general's plans?" Wang Jin obviously understood Zheng Zhi's meaning, and obviously Zheng Zhi had some ideas in his mind.
"The Dangxiang people in Dingxi City must have come from Yingli City. Dingxi City is in the west, we are in the middle, Yingli is in the northeast. At this time, there is an invincible army within a few hundred miles. We are entering the country to intercept. Most of the soldiers sent by the enemy are two or three thousand, which is just right to intercept." Zheng Zhi heard the scout report, three thousand yesterday and two thousand today. I think it was mobilized from all over the place to help, and most of them were soldiers drawn by various tribes and cities in the north. Such a number is just right for intercepting and killing yourself, and it is not very risky.
Even in Dingxi City, there are only 5,000 leather-armored light cavalry. Even if they meet, Zheng Zhi's remaining two thousand iron-armored light cavalry are not afraid of fighting in the field.
"Brother, okay, this method is good. I intercepted and killed a group of people from time to time. I think the Dangxiang people can't do anything to me." Lu Da was the first to express his opinion that he would feel bad if there was a war.
Wang Jin was silent for a moment and nodded, saying, "The general's method is nothing wrong with this."
Several people discussed specific details such as the attack route. The main reason was that Zheng Zhi himself planned everything.
Zheng Zhi kept rubbing his head, and felt that he was still missing a few talented people around him. He could only consider all matters properly, and it was not very appropriate. Everyone had wisdom in his plan, and he always had to make mistakes when thinking about the overall affairs by himself.
