Chapter 122 Inspiration
"Cross the soldiers and retreat ten miles!"
In the chaotic Fuyu camp, three medical officials were bandaging Tuoba Huo.
Due to excessive blood loss, Tuoba Huo was already unconscious.
Jiang Shunchen's face was gloomy and could drip out of water.
After giving military orders to the generals gathered around him, he asked him to carry Tuoba Huo and himself in a carriage and go to the escape.
At this time, the Fuyu army was completely in chaos and the soldiers rushed to escape.
The soldiers cannot find the general, and the general cannot find the soldiers.
A large number of soldiers were crowded, and soldiers were constantly trampled to death.
It was not until after leaving the shooting range of the artillery that the Fuyu soldiers calmed down and set up camp again under the scolding of the general.
"General, you must send Your Highness Huo back to Xingjing now, otherwise your life will be in trouble."
The carriage stopped under a big tree, and the medical officer in Tuoba Huo was sweating coldly.
If Tuoba Huo died, no one of them would want to live.
Jiang Shunchen nodded, and at this moment he had a huge anger accumulated in his heart.
He has never suffered such a crushing defeat for decades.
Now Tuoba Huo is seriously injured and his life and death are uncertain. If he cannot save the defeat, he will return to Fuyu Kingdom to suffer miserable life.
So Tuoba Huoneng went back, he couldn't go back.
"I will send a cavalry to escort you, so just leave."
Jiang Shunchen got off the carriage, called a cavalry general, and said a few words to him.
The cavalry general left and soon brought back a cavalry team of about 2,000 people.
Escorting the carriage, they gradually disappeared at the end of the dirt road.
Watching the carriage leave, Jiang Shunchen punched the tree with a punch and said ruthlessly: "Su Jin, on the day when the Jingshan Pass is broken, I will use your head on your neck as a chamber pot."
He just thought it was because of Su Jin and didn't think about Liu Jun at all.
After venting his anger in his heart, he immediately gathered the soldiers with the generals.
After retreating ten miles, the army settled down again and he called his generals to report the losses.
"The first batch of elite troops siege were killed and injured by more than 5,600 people, more than 4,000 infantrymen were killed by artillery, more than 800 cavalrymen, nearly half of the gunners were damaged, and thousands of soldiers died of trampling," said a general.
When Jiang Shunchen heard this, his heart was bleeding.
Before he could reach the top of the city, more than 10,000 troops had been abandoned.
And these first batch of people who entered the city are pioneers.
"Architecture, where is the artillery?" Jiang Shunchen remembered the most important thing.
During this war, he became more and more aware of the importance of artillery.
It was precisely because of the artillery that the people of Jingzhou were beaten so miserably.
"Return to the general, the artillery was still in place. The general left three thousand cavalry to cruise nearby to prevent them from being pulled back by the artillery. However, in the chaos, they sent a cavalry to our artillery, which seemed to have done something." The general said.
Jiang Shunchen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "The artillery is made of iron. What can they do? You did a good job. Now our only advantage is the cavalry. It is because there are no cavalry that they dare not pursue it, otherwise..."
Jiang Shunchen no longer dared to imagine.
"Hold the cannons and drag them back until nightfall." Jiang Shunchen said.
...
The cheers lasted for a long time at the top of Jingshanzhai City.
It was not until the Fuyu army retreated ten miles away that the soldiers stopped their excitement.
For them, after so much distress, they finally fought a war of anger.
"How are we injured or killed?"
The people of Fuyu did not withdraw directly, but gathered again nearby.
Liu Jun knew that this war would not end like this.
I’m afraid there will be another fierce battle next. Only when the Fuyu people are completely hurt will they probably calm down.
Su Jin had already sent someone to count. Soon, a general came over and reported him a number.
Su Jin looked at the bodies of Fuyu soldiers all over the ground and said, "There are only a few unlucky guys hit by gravel during shelling, which is nothing serious. The war commanded by His Highness is probably going to be recorded in history. It kills so many enemies and loses so much at least, which is rare in the world."
The war stopped, and the commander and the captain gathered around Su Jin.
Upon hearing this, they nodded one after another, with praise for Liu Jun in their eyes.
They are all old men on the battlefield. If they want to convince them, they can only achieve military achievements.
This time they completely lost their temper towards Liu Jun.
"Set the wounded and let the soldiers take a shift to rest. But it's not time to celebrate yet. You can eat meat, don't drink wine..." Liu Jun pointed to the Fuyu army that was vaguely visible in the distance.
Everyone laughed when they heard this. Liu Jun's casual joke made them feel that Prince Jing seemed quite approachable and felt more and more comfortable.
The generals went back to order troops. At this time, Liu Jun said to the gunner who was still guarding the artillery: "Thank you brothers, artillery, you have fought beautifully in this war. After destroying these Fuyu people who are not willing to give up, I personally toast you."
"Your Highness..." Han Kang's eyes turned red, and Liu Jun called him a brother and felt warm in his heart.
When the other gunners heard this, they all grinned and felt very happy.
In the past, their artillery had a low status in the army.
This time I finally got proud.
After appeased the soldiers for a while, Su Jin called a team of soldiers out of the city to clean the battlefield and picked up the armor and weapons of the Fuyu soldiers.
Even if these things are not used, they can be taken back and rebuilt.
Many Fuyu cavalry were still cruising around.
But they didn't seem to care about the soldiers who cleaned the battlefield.
They will only rush over when the soldiers approach the artillery.
"Oh, it's a pity that our cavalry has too few, they are all treasures." Su Jin glanced at the Fuyu cavalry with envy.
The entire border army and the cavalry of the guards brought by Xue Shi were less than two thousand.
This time, there were at least 30,000 cavalrymen in Fuyu, and this little force was to die.
Liu Jun was also jealous, but the construction of cavalry was much more difficult than artillery.
After all, we have to buy horses first, and then training.
It is not possible to become a qualified cavalry without more than half a year of high-intensity training.
"Yes, so we can only be beaten passively." Liu Jun said.
Suddenly he smiled and said, "But it's okay, we are defending, they are attacking, they are not afraid of death, just come."
Now that the flintlock rifle has been developed, the Craftsmanship and Construction Company is trying to mass production.
Just one year or two will delay the Jingzhou army, and all the flintlock rifles will be replaced.
In addition, he would also ask the Craftsman to develop a reduced version of the city guard cannon and field cannon.
At that time, the flintlock army with bayonets and field cannons will definitely leave an immortal memory for the people of Fuyu.
"What Your Highness said is that with this cannon and nothing...the heart cannon, the people of Fuyu came to die as much as they did." Su Jin is very confident now.
He was completely impressed by seeing the power of these two types of artillery with his own eyes.
