Five hundred and seventy-two, the aftermath

The wilderness is vast and the trees are low. Under the vast sky, dim blood-colored clouds are dyed red. Outside Nanjing City, blood flows into a river. Blood and the pungent smell of blood and gunpowder burning permeates the battlefield. Two transport ships at the last line quickly pave a bridge for temporary crossing, and the army on the south bank quickly crosses the river and enters Nanjing City.

Li Xingzhou ordered the fourth battalion who was the first to cross the river to be responsible for cleaning the battlefield.

At dusk, the sun was falling, and even though the battle was over, sporadic gunshots still came from time to time. Because solid bullets swept across the battlefield, a large number of severely disabled wounded soldiers were left. These people could not survive tonight, and the army could not take care of so many wounded soldiers. Sending a bullet was considered a relief. Life was so worthless in such a situation.

It spread from the river bank on the east side of Nanjing to the dozens of miles of the upper reaches of Wuding River to the west. The Liao Kingdom started from the front of the eastern front, until it was blocked by Wei Yubai's troops in front of the majestic Taihang Mountains. Everyone surrendered. On this long front, tens of thousands of soldiers from both sides fought for a day and night. The Liao army was defeated again and again, and the abandoned armor, tents, cattle, horses, swords, guns, flags, all over the mountains, and countless people.

The bridge on the surface of the ship has also been completely erected. When it was almost dark, all the troops on the south bank crossed the river and began to enter Nanjing City.

Under the bloody battle between Di Zhi and more than 190 black-shirted cavalry, the new army had occupied the South Gate and the defeated soldiers did not enter the city. There were basically no decent defenders in the other three gates in the city. The largest number of Ximen was only more than 200, and the remaining two gates had only a few dozen people. In addition, they had seen the situation outside long ago, and when the army arrived, they surrendered.

Before it was completely dark, the new army had completely taken over the entire Nanjing city.

The guns and cannons outside the city were sounding for a day. When entering the city, the gates in the city were closed, and no one dared to yell loudly. At night, no one dared to light the fire, for fear of exposing someone at home.

However, their concerns were obviously too much. The new army had strict military disciplines and obviously had no idea of ​​robbing families. Besides, Li Xingzhou also explained this matter, especially in areas like Nanjing City where all ethnic groups are mixed.

Li Xingzhou has been prepared for a long time and learn from history. He can gain a lot of experience. There are many generals who can fight in the thousands of years of history in China, but there are actually very few who understand civil and military skills and do not allow himself to stay in the brave generals.

But behind many miracles, there must be a lot of revelation.

The rise of the Jin Kingdom left behind the myth of Jurchens being less than ten thousand and invincible to the Jurchens. Wanyan Aguda started with thousands of Jurchen warriors at the beginning, defeating hundreds of thousands of Liao troops along the way, and at a very fast speed, he unstoppablely destroyed this dynasty that dominated the north.

It is easy for people to see the contrast of military forces on the surface. They fear Wanyan Aguda's terrifying forces, and they all show their favor and surrender, but ignore Wanyan Aguda's most important policy.

War was a continuation of politics. During the Wanyan Aguda period, wherever the army went, taxes were immediately reduced and imprisonment was exempted from wherever the army occupied the city, so as not to invade the people in the city.

At that time, the senior officials of the Liao Kingdom were addicted to the glory of the past, with heavy taxes and slaughtering the people. Therefore, Wanyan Aguda could stabilize a city by defeating one city. The more people fought, the more people were fighting, and the Liao Kingdom was responsible for the opposite. Therefore, its unstoppable momentum was not only military excellence, but also mostly policy vision complemented each other.

In addition, the northern nomadic peoples have weaker awareness than the Central Plains. Most of them are because of their nomadic life without a fixed place. Therefore, they care more about who is stronger, so powerful that they are afraid of who is good, and who can make them profit, rather than who is the orthodox royal family. Therefore, they do not care about the emperor passing the throne to their wives, and they do not care about the man who regents the regent is a Han man.

In fact, the policy to deal with the Liao Kingdom is very simple. Just give me a big stick and give me a sweet date.

Originally, Jing Guo had already taken Nanjing City and completed the step of hitting a big stick. As a result, Tong Guan and Yang Hu, two bastards with brains on their butts, didn't understand what it means to stop when they were better, which led to the situation deteriorating instantly.

This time, he can't make the same mistake again.

The new army was busy all night that night. On the other hand, Li Xingzhou ordered the prisoners of war to demolish the fortifications such as horse-resisting and baffles in the Liao army's riverside camp, and then place more than 4,000 prisoners of war in it.

The New Army camp was stationed on the north side, so there was a river on the south side and the other sides were muskets and cannons set up by the New Army. I was not afraid of any action. I took over all the matters of warding prisoners of war, so I left it to Wei Yubai for handling, and Liu Ji was responsible for taking over the defense of the four cities.

I was busy until the second half of the night before I basically sorted out these big and small matters. Only when the new army soldiers who had been working hard for a day could fall asleep slowly...

The next morning, Li Xingzhou went to the injured barracks to check the situation. Among the more than 50 people who survived in the South Gate, three of them did not survive last night, and two others began to have high fevers.

The military doctor, who was a senior middle-grade imperial guard, shook his head and whispered: "Prince, according to my opinion, they can't hold on..."

These military doctors have followed the imperial guards for decades, and are not comparable to those of folk doctors. Most of them rely on accumulated experience.

Li Xingzhou sighed, they were injured too seriously. Although alcohol was disinfected in time, neither of them was just skin trauma, bone damage, bone marrow flowed into the blood, resulting in fat embolism, which was almost helpless in this era.

The human body is so fragile. A broken rib may pierce the lung lobe or the bone marrow flows into the blood. No matter which one is, it is a fatal danger, and with the current medical level, it is basically helpless.

"Prince, give them some medicine and stones, at least it will be more comfortable to walk." The doctor suggested again.

"Wait until night, if you haven't dropped tonight, just do what you said." Li Xingcheon said.

......

Then, he went to see Di Zhi again. Di Zhi healed a lot at this time and he was seriously injured. Fortunately, it was all trauma and did not hurt the muscles and bones. Such injuries were very likely to cause infection and fever to cause life. However, there was alcohol in the royal palace. After timely disinfection and subsequent continuous disinfection, there was basically no risk of infection.

However, in such an injury, the surrounding muscle and skin tissue will definitely necrotize and then grow again. This is a long process, and it will take several months to say. During this period, he is afraid that it will be difficult to walk.

"Prince!" Seeing him coming, Di Zhi laughed happily, but soon grinned in pain.

Li Xingzhou was happy and helpless, and he didn't know whether he should praise him or not, but he was afraid of saying good things. Next time he was still so desperate. Is it a lucky thing that he would be so reckless next time, maybe he would be gone.
