The battlefield gradually became empty, and most of the soldiers went to the direction of Ya'erzhai, relying on boats and rafts to set up camp and rest.
No matter how excited and joyful the soldiers were, after two days of running and fighting, their physical reserves were exhausted.
So after Monk Luo arrived with the reinforcements, he didn't even bother to talk to Guo Ning. He quickly dispatched people to help set up camp and let the soldiers participating in the battle sit down, lie down, and eat and drink something.
In addition, there are many injured soldiers who need help. Although the Mongols were tricked by Guo Ning twice and were never able to fight the enemy with all their strength, they were always extremely vicious and good at fighting and ruthless characters. They constantly launched counterattacks and caused astonishing casualties to Guo Ning's troops.
Before long, the first batch of tents erected were filled with seriously injured people, and specialized medical officers were responsible for their treatment. The soldiers who were slightly injured bandaged themselves, wrapped some herbs, and stayed with their comrades in the headquarters.
After the joy of victory faded, the soldiers were inevitably depressed.
After all, except for a few naturally fierce people, no one really likes the battlefield. In that environment, heads fell off everywhere, arms were severed, lungs and intestines flowed all over the place, and the stench of blood and damaged organs was everywhere. It didn't matter that the enemy died, but he couldn't help but witness the tragic situation of his brother Pao Ze.
At this time, the encouragement from the generals is very important.
Those famous ministers and generals with noble backgrounds would not think so much, but Guo Ning started from the bottom down and would not neglect this. He walked through the tents, comforting the soldiers one by one, praising almost everyone by name, promising promotions and generous rewards after the war, and sometimes making crude jokes that the warriors loved to hear.
Some soldiers showed off to Guo Ning what they had captured on the battlefield. Guo Ning also looked at them one by one with great interest. He also took out his usual iron sword and replaced it with a dagger made by Xixia.
Some people also asked worriedly about Guo Ning's injuries. Guo Ning showed the wounded people his bandaged wounds and asked them if there was any water left to clean the wounds. Don't be confused here. You should go into the wound. Yes, never put it in your mouth.
Jing Anmin came in a hurry, but suddenly he was no longer in a hurry, and followed Guo Ning with a few of his trusted subordinates.
Ma Bao, who is guarding the village, has always been impatient. He soon became impatient and urged Jing Anmin several times with his eyes, but Jing Anmin just pretended not to know.
When Guo Ning almost finished his work and found an empty tent to rest, Jing Anmin sat down beside him and remained silent.
After a while, Du Shisheng came in with a smile, took a bowl of soup cake, and sat aside to enjoy it slowly.
Hao Duan, the experience officer of Jing'an Min, looked at Du Shisheng and said with a smile: "I just inspected the battlefield ahead. There are two to three hundred Mongolians dead. A rough estimate is that there are still five hundred people who were injured and evacuated."
Ma Bao nodded repeatedly: "I haven't seen you for several months, Guo Langjun is as brave as ever. Such a great victory has been very rare in recent years. I am afraid that the tens of thousands of people in the battle over Jinshan will be defeated by the Mongols." The damage caused is nothing more than this..."
Du Shisheng was eating soup cakes when he heard a sneer and put the bowl down.
"You have all seen the style of the imperial troops and horses. What are you talking about about the battle at Jinshan Mountain? Since the failure of Yehuling, the imperial court's field elites have been wiped out. Even if there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops stationed on the other side of Jinshan Mountain, They didn't have the courage to fight with the Mongols... They only dared to sit and guard the passes, but they couldn't guard the passes well! Now that the Mongolian army has penetrated Yanshan and is about to march across the Central Plains and Hebei, what can Wanyan Gang do? The center of the imperial court has also What’s the solution?”
Ma Bao was about to say more, but Jing Anmin waved his hand to stop.
Because Guo Ning was born in the regular army of Wushabao in Changzhou, just a few months ago, his reputation was still limited to the small group of defeated soldiers at the bottom. Therefore, senior officers such as Ma Bao in the Northern Xinjiang garrison will subconsciously underestimate him and think that he only relies on the courage of an ordinary man.
That's stupid.
Jing Anmin has always been paying attention to Guo Ning's rise. Just following Guo Ning, he noticed a lot more.
Despite his new victory, Guo Ning is not slacking off. While visiting the injured, he arranged for sentries to be deployed deep in the swamp, as far as dozens of miles away; the camping locations of various troops and horses obviously had certain rules and were strict and orderly; Li Ting and other generals took the time to meet with Guo Ning After a while, the night watch and garrison troops were arranged for tonight; the personnel responsible for cleaning the battlefield also agreed with the baggage team on the handover method.
This is what Jing Anmin saw. He knew that there were many things that he had not seen but were running naturally and orderly, from military orders to military administration, from daily management to logistical supplies. This is what a mature and reliable army should look like.
Guo Ning was able to achieve this victory not only by his personal bravery and proficiency in fighting, but also by the army he had built by himself.
This army is very unusual.
How can an ordinary army have the tenacity to travel long distances for two consecutive days and then fight continuously? How could an ordinary army have the courage to face the terrifying Mongols and take the initiative to challenge them in a situation of few versus many?
Guo Ning must have expended a lot of energy in order to form such an army.
The people of Jing'an are not idle people. He is also a former soldier, and he also knows that he must train strong soldiers to protect himself in troubled times. But just because he had tried it, he understood better how many difficulties he had to overcome in order to reach Guo Ning's level.
When he raided Hu Shahu's headquarters that day, Guo Ning was just a hero in the wilderness. But now Guo Ning has become a powerful figure with strong troops and a general who can lead the army to win the battle.
He is indeed qualified to stand at the front of a larger chessboard, and the plan he proposed is indeed a good opportunity for the powerful men in the pond to stand up.
However, some things still have to be said upfront.
Jing'anmin thought and said slowly:
"Rokuro's achievements today are beyond ordinary people's imagination. If I, the citizen of Jing'an, are in power in the imperial court, as long as I am not stupid, I will take high-ranking officials and generous salaries and smash them down desperately, so that Liulang can be used for me. However, serving the imperial court is one thing. , it is another thing to intervene in the center of the imperial court and control the emperor."
At this point, the people of Jing'an first looked at Du Shisheng with suspicion, and then turned to Guo Ning: "Dajin has a territory of thousands of miles, millions of soldiers, the throne has been passed down for decades, a complete system of monarchs and ministers, and millions of women. The real person is his natural backing. Even if he cannot defeat the Mongols, Dajin is still a big country in the world! Liulang really thinks that by kidnapping a clan king, you can influence the overall situation of the court? "
Guo Ning chuckled twice.
"Why are we in such a hurry to influence the overall situation of the court?"
Jing Anmin immediately noticed Guo Ning's choice of words. He was delighted, and then asked, "What does Liu Lang mean?"
Guo Ning leaned forward slightly.
After experiencing the fight, he looked very tired, and every movement was lazy, as if he couldn't cheer up. But Jing Anmin did not dare to look down upon him at all, and quickly leaned forward.
The two of them came closer. Guo Ning looked at Jing Anmin's solemn face and couldn't help but laugh again: "Mr. Jinzhi should have told you about the situation in the court. No matter whether we intervene or not, the situation in Zhongdu City will be the same." Several forces are already on the same level. In this case, let's just go with the flow and fish in troubled waters. For other things, we should take our time one by one, why are we in a hurry?"
Jing Anmin felt relieved and nodded quickly.
But he is also a bold and bold person at heart, and then he was a little disappointed: "Take your time? How slow?"
Guo Ning smiled: "This matter is no small matter. If only you and I are involved, we have to take it slow. If Miao and Zhang are willing to help, many things can be done faster."
