Xishan Military Camp.
All the soldiers in the army have not yet come to their senses.
Not only did they win this battle, but they could also be said to be a complete victory!
The five thousand light cavalry of the Confederate Army charged straight towards them. Before they could even reach the front of their own army formation, they were shot into a sieve by the terrifying firearms of the Shenji Battalion and slaughtered all!
In this battle, they captured thousands of sets of armor, leather armor, chain mail and other armor, as well as hundreds of intact war horses, and thousands of weapons of various types such as swords, guns, swords and halberds.
The rest were a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry looted from the bodies of Confederate soldiers.
Obviously they didn't do anything wrong when they attacked the city. Otherwise, where would the gold, silver and jewelry come from?
I don’t know how many people in northern Xinjiang have been murdered by these guys!
The price our own army paid was only the lives of dozens of unlucky men who were shot by the Confederate arrows, and the battle losses were almost negligible!
Big win!
A hearty victory!
Even a frightening victory!
General Xu Xiang reported the results of the battle to Su Yang, who was sitting in the main seat, and he was still in a daze.
With 8,000 infantry fighting against 5,000 light cavalry, not only did the enemy army be slaughtered, but our own army suffered almost zero battle losses!
This turned out to be true, and they witnessed this hearty victory with their own eyes!
If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, Xu Xiang himself wouldn't have believed it!
But this is the fact, an indisputable fact!
"Sir, we really did it!"
Xu Xiang looked at Su Yang with a face full of enthusiasm and spoke with an almost trembling voice.
What is the God of War?
This is the god of war!
Xu Xiang wanted to give himself two big mouths at this moment.
During the previous war, he dared to question his young master's decision, and even dared to look down upon his young master!
Xu Xiang, you really deserve to die!
Such a hearty victory, such a glorious and terrifying result, even if the King of Yan comes, he can't achieve it, right?
But Mr. Su did it!
The power of banishing an immortal is so terrifying!
Su Yang took the battle report and read it carefully, but his brows remained furrowed.
He was not as happy as everyone expected, but instead looked quite solemn.
"Sir, we have won this battle, why don't you seem happy?"
Xu Xiang couldn't help but asked bravely.
Now Su Yang is the backbone of the Xishan army, and the entire army relies on him to create another miracle!
Su Yang smiled bitterly and shook his head, throwing the battle report to Ma Sanbao who was standing by.
"Nothing to be happy about."
"The reason why our army was able to win this battle was, firstly, because the Confederate army did not know that our army had sharp weapons, so it was caught off guard. Secondly, the Confederate army was all made up of cavalry, and the number was not large. They were completely wiped out by our army in one battle!"
This is the truth!
But a big victory is also a fact!
Xu Xiang couldn't help laughing and said: "Young master, please don't be too modest!"
"From the general's point of view, the Southern Army's fighting strength is meager. They are all a bunch of cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong. In this battle of Peiping, as long as the prince leads his army to return reinforcements in time, our Yan Army will definitely be able to win!"
When the other soldiers heard this, they nodded in agreement.
After experiencing such a hearty victory, their morale was at its peak, so it was inevitable that they would become arrogant and look down on those cowardly Confederate soldiers even more!
Seeing this situation, Su Yang frowned even more tightly.
"I'm afraid you're a little too carried away!"
Hearing this, everyone froze and looked at Su Yang in astonishment.
"Just imagine, if our army doesn't have these sharp firearms, how can eight thousand infantry resist five thousand light cavalry?"
"Firearms are indeed sharp, but the ammunition is not endless, but it can only show your courage for a moment. When the ammunition is exhausted, you will also need to fight on the ground with real swords and guns!"
"Furthermore, although our army completely wiped out the Confederate army, it also caused trouble. The Confederate army general Ping An was attacking Tongzhou. After he captured Tongzhou, he did not see the Confederate army return. Do you think Ping An will How to do it?"
"When he personally leads an army of 50,000 to kill, no matter how sharp our weapons are, we will eventually run out of ammunition. Besides, the Southern Army is not without firearms, so you are too happy too soon!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
The previous joy was long gone and was shrouded in endless panic.
According to the scouts' investigation, Ping'an's army numbered 50,000. If he realized something was wrong after he captured Tongzhou and led his army to kill Xishan, they would really be doomed!
After all, Xu Xiang was a veteran on the battlefield, so he quickly reacted.
No wonder the young master's brows were furrowed and he didn't look happy at all.
"Young master, I'm sorry, I was waiting for Meng Lang. What should I do now?"
Su Yang frowned and pondered for a moment, then immediately ordered: "Distribute all the materials seized in this battle."
"Weapons and armor are given priority to the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion. After all, they deserve the first victory in this battle."
"The gold, silver and jewelry are divided into three parts. The officers of the Shenji Battalion will receive 50%, the firearms craftsmen will receive 30%, and the infantry officers will receive 20%."
This is allocating rewards.
No one had any objections to Su Yang's allocation.
Although the infantry soldiers only received 20%, and all the weapons and armor were given to the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, their military exploits were there. This battle can almost be said to have been achieved by the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion alone. Their infantry soldiers were only Just skimming the formation on the side.
Furthermore, 30% of the property was awarded to the Xishan firearms craftsman. Although everyone could not understand it, they also expressed their respect for Su Yang's decision.
Two makes two percent, so if you divide it evenly, it would cost you about three or four taels of silver per person, which is quite a lot. After all, it was just a trip without going into battle to kill the enemy, so you could get the silver for nothing. How could they dare to ask for more.
"The 30% of the property must be allocated to the firearms craftsmen. If they had not been developing improved firearms, our army would not have achieved such results in this battle."
"Leave this matter to Ma Sanbao!"
"Furthermore, Xishan will face a bloody war next, and firearms and ammunition must be sufficient. Therefore, these firearms craftsmen will work hard day and night to produce. This batch of property as a reward can also greatly mobilize their enthusiasm."
Su Yang explained calmly that he did not want to see any discord among the Xishan army at the moment when the enemy was powerful.
Xu Xiang immediately patted his chest to express that he understood and had no objection to this.
"By the way, the bones of those brothers who died in the battle will be collected and buried, their widows and relatives will be found, and the Xishan Society will take care of them. This amount will be paid by me myself."
"Sir, this..." Xu Xiang's eyes turned red and he wanted to say something to dissuade him.
Su Yang waved his hand and sighed: "These brothers responded to my Su Yang's call and died to protect Xishan. Naturally, I, Su Yang, cannot let their sacrifices be in vain. No matter when the time comes, as long as I, Su Yang, are still alive, I will do well." Support their widows!”
"Young Master is righteous!"
After hearing this, everyone looked moved and bowed to Su Yang sincerely.
These soldiers are so lucky to meet such a loyal and affectionate general!
"Next, the entire Xishan Mountains must be mobilized to build fortifications to resist the massive attack by the Southern Army!"
"Leave this matter to General Xu Xiang. We must build Xishan into an iron barrel fortress!"
"The last general takes command!"
