The gentry's children were old and not old, were relatively timid, not very chaotic, and were relatively easy to manage. Kong Youde did not abuse them much. After all, they could use them in the future. Although they did not have the kind of life of luxury and food they had before, they still did their food and drink and fill.

However, some of the young men in the Wang family have been officials, have bad tempers, are very powerful, and have a good literary talent. They criticize Kong Youde in different ways all day long.

However, their level of cursing is not comparable to that of shrews who curse the streets. Sometimes Kong Youde doesn't even understand what they mean, but he doesn't have to guess that he is scolding him.

Kong Youde didn't do anything to them, just didn't give them food. Although they still let them drink water, they gave them a bowl of rice for two days. Although they couldn't starve to death, they felt uncomfortable. People who had been hungry know how uncomfortable it was. They were so hungry that they put their chests on their backs and they had no strength to speak at all.

Some people even lowered their figure and prayed to the soldiers who were guarding them to give them food. They had no such momentum at all, and were not beyond Kong Youde's expectations. There was no such person who died and had a backbone in the Wang family.

However, this is not surprising. In history, their Wang family was massacred three times in the fourth year of Chongzhen, the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and the population dropped sharply. It can be said that they were irreconcilable with the Qing Dynasty.

However, after the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, they were still willing to lick the Qing Dynasty. Although the population had been reduced by more than half, during the Qing Dynasty, there were as many as hundreds of people who served as officials in the Wang family and served as slaves to the Tartars, which was several times more than those who served as officials in the Ming Dynasty.

Since they can kneel down and lick Man Qing, then their life and death are now controlled by themselves, and it is probably not difficult to do things for themselves.

"Thank you, General, I'll do it now." Although Qin Zhiyuan flattered and was quite reliable in doing things, he went to work after saying that, otherwise Kong Youde would not have planned to keep him.

A lot of people means great power. When the genius just started to get dark, Qin Zhiyuan came back to report the calculation results. He also brought two trembling boys. It seemed that they should be his assistants.

"Come up quickly. I have met the general. From now on, you will follow me to do business for the general." Qin Zhiyuan said to the two young men.

The two teenagers came forward with some timidity. Kong Youde glanced at them, and they were so scared that they knelt on the ground.

"The villain Bai Mulin, I have met the general."

"The villain Meng Siyuan, I have met the general."

"Get up"

Both of them stood up, Kong Youde looked at the two of them and found that they were not old, almost fourteen or fifteen years old, and they looked quite clever.

"You two, please report to the general about the capture of this battle." Qin Zhiyuan brought them here just to give them a chance to show their face.

"Report to the general, our army captured a total of 325 war horses in this battle, 237 war horses died from the enemy and our army, seized more than 1,200 stones of enemy food and grass, and more than 400 animals who were consigned to the baggage." Bai Mulin said.

"Report to the general, our army seized more than 300 muskets, twenty-one tiger squat cannons and bowl-mouth cannons, more than 400 crossbows, more than 1,300 spears, nearly 5,000 swords and swords, and more than 250 pairs of armor." Meng Siyuan also reported.

There were so many weapons seized, which was a bit beyond Kong Youde's expectations. It seemed that the enemy's weapons were basically thrown away in order to escape and accelerate their running speed.

However, compared to these, he was more concerned about the casualties and prisoners, and said to Qin Zhiyuan, "Is there any statistics on the casualties of the enemy and us? How many casualties did our army have in total?"

Qin Zhiyuan said, "General, the statistics have come out, but due to insufficient time and a steady stream of prisoners being brought back, it may be a bit inaccurate.

Under the general's wise command, our army defeated more than 7,500 enemy troops and killed 1,625 enemy troops. Up to now, 2,547 people have been captured, and the rest of the enemy troops have fled in scattered areas, including several enemy leaders, Wang Daochun, Tao Tingyan, and Chen Tingyu, who have all escaped.

Our army suffered a total of 225 deaths, including 68 cavalrymen, and the rest were infantry, with more than 320 wounded soldiers."

Kong Youde was quite satisfied with this result, but the cavalry suffered a lot, but it was normal. After all, the enemy was not a guards' army. The first wave of cavalry wars had already been killed and seriously injured more than 50 people. I believe many seriously injured people did not survive.

In the later battles, the cavalry kept fighting, and some casualties were inevitable, but with so many war horses, the cavalry team could continue to expand.

In short, this was a great victory. At the cost of more than 500 casualties, it defeated the enemy army of 7,500 people. And it was a professional army like Fubiao Camp, which was considered a complete victory.

Although several enemy leaders did not catch it, it was harmless. The main purpose of this battle was to defeat the Fubiao camp, so that he could safely advance eastward, so that he would not have thousands of troops hanging behind him and be worried.

Although the enemy fled 3,000 people, according to the usual situation, it would be good if Tao Tingyan could collect half of them. The remaining defeated soldiers would probably become bandits or flee to other places. Moreover, they had almost no weapons in their hands and could no longer pose a threat.

As for the enemy commander, it was not very useful to capture it. For example, Wang Daochun, the day after he captured Wuqiao, began to try every possible way to plot against him and expect him to surrender to him. It was completely a daydream.

Although Tao Tingqin's command level is not particularly poor, he is not very good. There are many generals like him, and even if he is caught, he may not surrender.

"You are doing well. This general can't treat you badly. You can withdraw 200 taels of silver later. As for how many people below, you have the final say." Kong Youde is not a stingy person. For him now, 200 taels of silver is really a drop in the bucket.

As long as they do things seriously, they will definitely not treat them unfairly. Kong Youde was not Zhu Yuanzhang, who wanted both the horse to run and the horse to not eat grass.

"Thank you for the rewards of the general. I am grateful to you. I am willing to sacrifice my life for the general and shed my blood. I will never refuse."

Seeing Qin Zhiyuan leaving, Kong Youde called a messenger and said, "Send the order, set up camp on the spot tonight, and the camps are more solid, and the number of patrol personnel increases twice as much as usual.

The dead war horses picked out fifty, divided them, and added meals to the soldiers, and handled the rest for food for future battles."

Although he had achieved a great victory, Kong Youde still did not dare to take it lightly. There was indeed no force around him that could threaten him, but in order to prevent it, it would be better to be cautious and not take much effort.
