Chapter 173

The next day, Qin Huan returned to Ruzhou with a large army, carrying the wounded, pulling the horse corpse.

In this battle, more than 2000 people were killed, more than 500 prisoners, a lot of bows, arrows, leather armor, cotton armor and sabers, and a whole of 2000 war horses.

Unfortunately, only 600 are intact. The others are either sprained or cut by the sword. After the final inspection, I'm afraid half of them will be discarded.

Qin Huan felt pain for a while.

Compared with more than 3000 casualties.

Nearly a thousand infantry were killed in this battle. More than 600 people were killed in the battle among the fire gun soldiers and other arms. Almost all the other 1000 wounded were trampled or injured by war horses, and the heavy and heavy wounded were split in half.

It can be regarded as a heavy loss.

But it's worth it. When the infantry is gone, they are training. When the youth is dead, they are recruiting, but when the other party's cavalry is gone, they are really gone.

Without the threat of the three thousand guanning iron cavalry, the whole Central Plains will let him gallop.

Watching the army return, the people in the city cheered again. On the contrary, the officers and soldiers could only stare in the camp.

Although he knew that Hong Chengchou would never go out of the camp to intercept, Qin Huan despised him when he saw that the other party was really strengthening the camp.

However, he did not intend to fight the other side in a short time, so he also set up a camp outside the South City, but sent the wounded horses, prisoners and captured things to the city.

For days.

Both sides stood still and confronted each other.

Hong Chengchou asked Zuo Guangxian to lead five thousand troops and horses to camp in Beidaying, while he sat in the West camp.

Gather grain and grass while strengthening the camp. You have seed to attack, otherwise it depends on who can consume who.

Qin Huan led the infantry and firearm soldiers to the camp in the south of the city and practiced every day. There was a constant sound of beating iron in the city. It was obvious that he was not in a hurry.

The 500 people lost in the firearm battalion could not be replenished for the time being, but the infantry were replenished from those who performed well at the first time.

Qin Huan was really not in a hurry. First, he fought two fierce battles in a row, which led to the accumulation of a large number of wounded people who needed to be cultivated.

Second, 2000 newly recruited young soldiers do not have fire guns and need to be purchased. Third, so many people have been killed in battle and need to be digested.

Anyway, there is no shortage of food and materials, so he won't take the initiative to attack each other's camp and do such a thing. To fight is also a decisive battle between the two armies, and the world will be determined in the first war.

Hong Laogou was very angry when he saw the anti thief making preparations under his eyes, but the other party set up a camp outside the South City and depended on the city, which made him helpless.

Finally, we had to mobilize the surrounding guards to Ruzhou, hoping to scare the other party away, and then the army took advantage of the situation to hide it.

But king Qin is not a military idiot. How could he walk under the eyes of the other army?

To go is to fight first and defeat the other party before going.

As for how many soldiers Wei Suo came, he didn't pay attention. He wasn't Han Xin. Was Hong Chengchou?

Can you bite so many mobs, in addition to wasting food?

……

"Mr. Qian, the king's patience is limited. So many days have passed. Today, I'll ask you again for the last time. Is it down or not?"

Qin Huan could not bear to see the money wasted for more than half a month in the state yamen hall.

After learning about the treatment of the Chinese army, the 500 prisoners changed their names and surrendered long ago, but this guy is still pretending to be reserved.

If he hadn't had a person around him who could discuss things so far, he would have been cut down, and this guy seems to have a good level. At least he knows everything about the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Qian Gao wanted to surrender after learning about the system of the Chinese army and the extraordinary of Qin Huan.

Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is plagued by internal and external troubles and the situation is turbulent. The Central Plains is thousands of miles away. Anyone who is familiar with history books knows that troubled times will come.

And he was not expected to take the imperial examination. So he went to Hong Chengchou and wanted to do something. Now he is captured. The king of Xiaohua really has the image of the Ming Lord and the posture of an owl, so he just wanted to take it for a while.

Who would have thought that although Xiaohua Wang wanted to attract him, he was put under house arrest in his room for a while, let alone three visits to the cottage, but he didn't come once.

The depression is not enough for outsiders.

At this moment, looking at Qin Huan's young face, he didn't dare to pinch it. He was afraid that he would pinch it too much, so he sorted out his long shirt and bowed his hand:

"Dare you ask King Hua, what are you going to do next?"

"Hehe, what's your opinion?"

Qin Huan immediately knew that this guy wanted to show off when he saw him asking, so he just smiled and stared at him.

"Although Henan is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, it is the land of the six wars. Since ancient times, all those who have achieved great things have built walls and accumulated grain on the four sides, and then they were driven into the Central Plains.

If King Hua wants to directly take Henan as the foundation, I'm afraid he won't fall into endless attacks in the end. Taking care of one thing and losing the other, he can't avoid defeat after all. "

Qian Gao touched his beard and shook his head.

"That gentleman thinks, where should this king take as the foundation, and then win the world?" Qin Huan nodded.

Seeing that his response was flat, Qian Gao was really surprised. He felt that Xiaohua Wang was unpredictable and not comparable to other anti thieves. He hugged his fist and said directly:

"Now the northern provinces are already rotten, with starving victims everywhere and countless refugees. If you are eager to achieve success, King Yihua now has soldiers, you just need to attack the city and pull out the stronghold in several houses in Henan, and then open the warehouse to release grain. Millions of troops can easily get it. However, what should we do when the food in the city is eaten up?

Since ancient times, Huguang has been well-known and the world is full, so the students think that the king of China should go south to Nanyang to plot Jingxiang, think that Huguang has the foundation, and then go north to the Central Plains. At that time, his hegemony can be achieved! "

"Ha ha, sir, you are really talented. If you can help me, why don't you worry about your success? I wonder if Sir can be my son? "

Qin Huan laughed and saw that he coincided with himself. He secretly said that he was really knowledgeable, so he got up and came to the hall and held his hand like those heroes in TV dramas.

"The king of China doesn't kill the prisoners at the next level. He has always been courteous and respectful. I'm afraid only uncle Liu of the Three Kingdoms can compare with these benevolent and righteous kings. Now, thanks to the love of the king of China, Qian bin is willing to work for dogs and horses!"

Qian Gao said, his eyes flushed, squeezed out two tears, then bowed to the end and changed his name.

Qin Huan didn't have his ability, and he couldn't learn the look of Cao Cao and Liu Bei. He had to help him up and said, "OK, sir, please get up quickly. I'll be wronged temporarily. Sir, take the post of commander of the rear battalion temporarily. I'll be a captain directly. I'll be promoted in the future!"

No way, this is the market in this era. The difference between reading and not reading books is too big. For the sake of the horse bone of the Golden City, King Qin had to play a play with him and sealed a captain.

After all, let someone else be a scholar, step by step from the recruits, spread out, I'm afraid it will stop the world's scholars.

Sure enough, the other commanders didn't have any opinion on this, but thought it was reasonable. Obviously, Qian Gao's show off just now, although he couldn't fool King Qin, it made these big characters don't know a hero and think he is really an expert.

"Thank you, King Hua!"

Qian Gao thanked again, but he was disappointed with the commander of the rear camp. What he wanted to do was to be a military division, because there was no scholar under King Xiaohua, which was why he wanted to take it.
