at the same time.

Over and over again, Wang Wu cleaned up the battlefield littered with corpses, and at the same time dealt a last blow to the White Lotus soldiers who were still breathing.

There are many soldiers like Wang Wu cleaning the battlefield.

They gathered the weapons and armor that were still intact, and moved the bodies of both sides to the roadside to pile them up.

If it is the corpse of one of our own soldiers, then send it back to the camp and wait for what General Lin will do with it later.

As for the corpses of the White Lotus Sect thieves, their heads were cut off as a tribute to war, and their bodies were thrown into a pit to be burned.

The weather is hot right now, and if the corpses are allowed to rot, diseases will definitely spread.

"grown ups!"

At this time, Yang Zhixing, whose armor was stained with blood, rushed over with a smile on his face that could not be concealed.

Because he had previously killed one of the opponent's generals.

Afterwards, after questioning the prisoners of the White Lotus Sect, I learned that the young general was one of the protectors of the sect and had a high status.

At present, Yang Zhi ranks first among the generals with this merit.

Wei Cheng and others were naturally envious.

But Wei Chengzhong also knew it very well.

With such a great victory, they would definitely be able to gain a lot of military exploits and feel satisfied.

"What are the losses of our army?" Lin Chen asked without looking back when he heard Yang Zhi's movement.

"The casualties were about 800, 300 were killed in battle, 200 were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured."

After hearing what Yang Zhi said, Lin Chen frowned slightly.

Considered seriously injured, his army lost 500 people in this battle.

"He's still a new recruit after all."

Lin Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Logically speaking, this kind of cover-up of a great victory and pursuit should not cause such heavy casualties.

Yang Zhi didn't know what his general was thinking.

If he found out, he would probably start to slander Lin Chen.

After all, in his opinion, killing more than 20,000 bandit soldiers with 500 casualties was a great victory!

Not to mention, there are thousands of cavalry among them.

but.

Lin Chen thought of another thing.

"How many war horses were captured this time?"

You must know that there are not many war horses in Lin Chen's army, and they need to be supplemented and improved.

When Yang Zhi heard this, his expression became much more excited.

"A total of three thousand horses, which can be used with a little training."

Yang Zhi was a little surprised by this.

You must know that the war horses used by these White Lotus Sect thieves are not just horses!

But a real war horse!

There were also a total of 7,000 pieces of iron armor seized, and countless other leather and cotton armors.

As the saying goes, throw away the helmet and abandon the armor.

The White Lotus Cult thieves naturally risked their lives in order to escape.

When Lin Chen heard this, a cold look flashed in his eyes, and he immediately headed towards the place where the trophies were piled up.

Picking up a piece of armor that was still stained with blood, Lin Chen looked at the markings on the inside of the armor.

Liaodong supervision!

Lin Chen looked at these small official script characters and then put down the armor, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

Liaodong, Liaodong!

In this world, the Li and Tang dynasties built the Liaodong border defense along the Datong and Jinzhou lines and set up nine passes in order to prevent the Jurchen tribe from rising outside the Northeast Pass.

The permanent governor-general of Liaodong commanded nine passes and hundreds of thousands of border troops.

Perhaps due to some kind of historical inertia, the governor of the border army currently guarding the Liaodong border is named Zu Dashou.

This man has a nephew.

His name is Wu Sangui.

There are 30,000 Guanning cavalry in the Liaodong frontier army.

Are these White Lotus Sect thieves also involved with the generals of Liaodong?

certainly.

Lin Chen could probably imagine the behavior of the generals of the border army based on the style of martial arts in the Beijing camp.

These weapons were most likely stolen and sold to the White Lotus Sect.

This is really...

Lin Chen didn't know what to say, so he could only shake his head.

The White Lotus Sect was well prepared for this uprising.

When Lin Chen thought of something, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He had reason to suspect that the White Lotus Sect had been planning for this uprising for a long time.

only.

What Lin Chen didn't understand was why the White Lotus Sect was only operating near Gyeonggi this time instead of spreading in all directions and expanding its scale.

Even the Yellow Turban Army knew that it was divided into thirty-six Fangqu commanders, who led believers in various states and counties to kill officials and rebel.

Lin Chen felt that there must be a conspiracy that he didn't know about.

But right now he doesn't have many clues and can't figure it out clearly.

but.

Lin Chen looked at Yang Zhi and asked softly: "Have all the defeated White Lotus Sect troops settled in the second camp?"

"Your Majesty, that's right!"

Ah.

Lin Chen's eyes flashed with amusement.

For low-level sergeants like Wang Wu, today is a holiday.

Horse meat is enough for free.

You must know that in this battle, they killed thousands of horses.

Although the taste of horse meat is not as smooth as that of beef and mutton, it is a delicacy for ordinary soldiers.

and.

Unlimited meat!

This is undoubtedly a morale-boosting surprise for the soldiers who have just fought.

"Is there enough food and grass?"

"Reporting to your lord, the food and grass in the camp can be used by the army for two months."

In the military tent.

All the captains who had won the battle were beaming with joy.

Even Mu Guiying, who had been criticizing Lin Chen during this period, sat comfortably on the right side of Lin Chen.

Yang Zhi, Weicheng and others thought that Lin Chen would reward them for their performance today.

Without thinking, Lin Chen said with a serious expression:

"You will return to camp immediately, select five thousand elite soldiers, recharge your batteries, and attack tonight."

Night attack? !

When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but take a breath of air.

Dare you love your own general? Are you still not satisfied with today's victory? !

"Master Lin, the bandit army may be on guard." After hearing this, Mu Guiying couldn't help but tried to persuade him.

After all, they had just suffered a disastrous defeat today. As long as the opponent's general was not a loser, he would know to strictly guard the camp.

"It doesn't matter." Lin Chen looked indifferent, but there was an inexplicable smile on his lips that no one present could understand.

At night.

People hold coins in their mouths, and horses chew them in their mouths.

Lin Chen looked at the dark, dead night, covered by dark clouds.

As the saying goes, the moon is dark and the wind is high at night, it is nothing more than this.

These five thousand selected elites slept all afternoon and were in high spirits.

"It's weird, I can actually see at night!"

in ancient times.

Most ordinary people at the bottom often suffer from night blindness, also known as blindfolded eyes, due to insufficient vitamin intake.

Therefore.

Night raids in ancient times were extremely difficult!

There are often cases where a night attack team leaves the stronghold and most of them disperse before they reach the place.

But once a night attack is successful, the results can often be astonishing.

High investment, high return.

Therefore, ancient generals liked to play tricks like night raids.

However!

Tonight, through the faint starlight, these soldiers could actually see the silhouettes of their companions several meters apart!

Lin Chen smiled and said nothing when he saw this.

This is the reason why the great sergeant is asked to boil pine needle water.

You must know that during the period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea.

Likewise, many soldiers suffer from night blindness.

When conditions didn't allow it, I was forced to come up with this simple method.

It turns out.

Boiled water with pine needles is useful in treating night blindness!

This was one of the reasons why Lin Chen dared to attack at night.

"Set off!"

At Lin Chen's order, five thousand soldiers followed him out of the stronghold.

nature.

Lin Chen also arranged for Wei Cheng to stay behind to prevent his home from being stolen.
