Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 220

Lin Cunde and the others waited for almost half an hour, and then saw the sound of horse hooves in the distance. Lin Cunde was holding a telescope and looking at the cavalry in the distance. They were the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty. Lin Cunde couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly. .

The army is back!

Lin Cunde put down his telescope and looked at the team in the distance. After a while, Xiang Qing appeared in Lin Cunde's sight. The cavalry stopped less than fifty steps away from Lin Cunde.

Xiang Qing dismounted, and all the soldiers behind him also dismounted.

Xiang Qing held the scabbard and hurried towards Lin Cunde. When he got to Lin Cunde, he knelt down on one knee, and all the soldiers behind him also knelt down on one knee.

"Reporting to the Chief Military Officer, we have wiped out the main force of the enemy. Now there are scattered remaining enemies. We have ordered two thousand cavalry to cooperate with the infantry to search!" Xiang Qing knelt on one knee and raised his hands to Lin Cunde.

"Okay, good fight, thank you for your hard work!" Lin Cunde nodded, then got on his horse, urged the horse, and rushed towards the cavalry!

"My lord is mighty!" Xiang Qing knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

"My lord, you are mighty!" All the soldiers shouted loudly. Before they set out this morning, they did not dare to think that this battle could be fought so easily. The cavalry of the fifth military camp suffered very few casualties.

"The Ming Dynasty is mighty! The Ming army is mighty!" Lin Cunde was shouting loudly at this moment.

"The Ming Dynasty is mighty! The Ming army is mighty!" So the soldiers also shouted.

"Brothers, thank you for your hard work! We won!" Lin Cunde shouted at the soldiers at this moment.

"We won, we won! The Ming Dynasty is mighty, the Ming army is mighty!" All the soldiers stood up and shouted loudly.

"Order, the heavy armored cavalry will return to the city first, followed by the light cavalry, followed by the Shenji Battalion!" Lin Cunde shouted loudly to the messengers behind him.

"Yes! Order, the heavy armored cavalry will return to the city first, followed by the light cavalry, followed by the Shenji Battalion!" More than a dozen messengers on horseback began to shout loudly.

Lin Cunde rode his horse and inspected the light cavalry. He had an estimate of the casualties of the troops brought out by Xiang Qing, and then returned to his position.

"Sir, please go back to the city first. I'll keep an eye on you from here!" Xiang Qing said with his hands raised to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde shook his head and said: "Go back first, send an order, and ask Yang Xiangzheng to mobilize the infantry from the four guard posts out of the city, bring pickaxes, shovels, and hoes to clean up the battlefield and bury those Wala soldiers. It's summer now. If you can't Dispose of those corpses as soon as possible. Once they rot, they will stink extremely and bring plague. Once our soldiers enter the city, let them set off!"

"Yes, sir, but sir, you should go back to the city. The brothers will definitely be able to do the rest!" Xiang Qing said sincerely to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde smiled, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, let the heavy armor go back first, the infantry brothers haven't come back yet, I'll wait!"

"Yes, sir!" Xiang Qing raised his hand to Lin Cunde again.

Then he rode behind Lin Cunde. Although he was leading the cavalry, he was also a minister of the fifth army camp and was only temporarily leading the army. When the light cavalry returned, he did not want to go back first.

Soon, the heavy armored cavalry began to return to the city. At this time, Liang Dong had already rode over, raised his hands to Lin Cunde and said: "My lord, please come here and chat with me for a while, so that your lord will not be bored!"

"Haha, don't you want to sunbathe?" Lin Cunde looked at Liang Dong and asked with a smile.

"Look!" Liang Dong said as he lifted up his cloak. The heavy armor had been removed, leaving the light armor inside.

"Okay, let's chat for a while!" Lin Cunde looked at Liang Dong and said with a smile!

"Okay!" Liang Dong heard Lin Cunde agree and rode over with a smile.

In the city, the soldiers cheered after the heavy armored cavalry returned. After the heavy armored cavalry returned, they went directly back to the military camp. Of course, on the way, other soldiers handed them water, and they also took it to drink. On hot days, it is not easy for people not to suffer from heatstroke.

After the heavy armored cavalry returned, the cavalry from the Fifth Army Camp followed. None of the commanders went back, they all stayed with Lin Cunde!

Lin Cunde is the commander-in-chief. He cannot go back until he sees all the troops go back.

Although Lin Cunde doesn't have to do this, as a general on the battlefield, everyone is like this, especially in a big war, everyone has a narrow escape. At this moment, the general abandons them and returns to the city, and the soldiers will look down on him.

Therefore, Lin Cunde accompanied him here, and all the commanders also stayed behind to chat with Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde also smiled as he listened to the commanders talking about the battle.

Soon, the messengers also arrived. The infantry of the Fifth Army Battalion had finished the battle and began to assemble and rush back.

"Send the order. Water tanker, send water immediately!" Lin Cunde shouted to a messenger behind him.

"Yes!" The messenger also immediately ran away on horseback! "Sir, in this battle, it is estimated that only the two thousand people who broke out will be able to escape. The rest must be kept here!" Liang Dong looked at Lin Cunde excitedly and said.

"Well, I don't know how the pursuit went, Deputy Commander Xu. It's not easy to chase on such a hot day!" Lin Cunde also said with a smile. It doesn't matter if he can't catch him, but Xu Xianyong also knows that if he doesn't annihilate them all, They, there was a loophole in his siege. He was the leader of the siege, but if there was a loophole, how could it be okay? It was hard for me to explain to Lin Cunde.

"It's probably difficult. When Wala escaped, they always brought two horses with them. We only have one horse, so it's hard to catch up!" Xiang Qing also said with a frown.

"It doesn't matter if you can't catch up. Oala will never have the chance to invade our border again!" Lin Cunde said with a smile, not wanting to reduce Xu Xianyong's credit. Why did Xu Xianyong pursue him this time? How could Lin Cunde not understand? Xu Xianyong also needs to be knighted based on his military exploits!

A few people sat there chatting for a while, and then the infantry came back. Although the infantry were very tired, they had smiles on their faces. They also had military merit in this battle.

"Sir, please go back to the city!" Xiang Qing saw the infantry returning and immediately said to Lin Cunde.

"Sir, please return to the city!" The commanders around Lin Cunde all shouted to Lin Cunde.

"Sir, please go back to the city!" Some Qianhu and soldiers who heard the commanders' shouts also shouted to Lin Cunde.

"Okay, go back to the city!" Lin Cunde nodded, then clamped his legs on the horse, and the horse began to rush towards the infantry. Lin Cunde sat on the horse and shouted to the infantry: "Brothers, go back to the city!"

"Go back to the city, go back to the city, go back to the city!" After hearing this, the soldiers raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

"Go back to the city!" Lin Cunde shouted again, then turned his horse's head and started walking towards the city. Lin Cunli followed immediately, followed by Xiang Qing and the commanders, and then Lin Cunde's guards and the soldiers of the Dahu Guard Battalion.

As Lin Cunde got closer and closer to the city wall, the soldiers on the city wall began to cheer.

Their coach is back in town!

Especially for the infantry on the city wall, Lin Cunde is not only their commander, but also their admiral. Now that Lin Cunde has led them to a victory, why aren't the soldiers below excited?

The soldiers who had been resting in the city heard the cheers on the city wall and came out of their tents to both sides of the main road. They also wanted to welcome their commander back to the city.

Lin Cunde laughed as he watched the soldiers cheering on the city wall.

"Sir, the soldiers are cheering for victory. They are cheering for you to lead your brothers to win the battle!" Xiang Qing said to Lin Cunde from behind.

Lin Cunde nodded and said with a smile: "It's all soldiers who sacrifice their lives. Otherwise, how can I, Lin Cunde, have such ability?"

Liang Dong, who was next to him, took over the words: "That is also because of your excellent command. Our heavy armored cavalry was actually ready to be wiped out. But in today's battle, none of our heavy armored cavalry died. Even though more than two hundred people were injured, we did not engage the enemy's heavy armored cavalry at all. The enemy's cavalry had no intention of fighting, and they were unable to break our armor!

The fact that the brothers were able to survive is all thanks to you, sir. If you hadn't brought out the artillery and used explosives to bomb the heavy cavalry in Oala, how could our brothers from the 3,000 battalion have suffered so few casualties! "

"That's right, sir, the cavalry casualties of our fifth military camp are not large. Although there are sacrifices, they are not many!" Xiang Qing also said to Lin Cunde.

"Well, that's good, as long as there are fewer casualties!" Lin Cunde nodded and said.

Lin Cunde continued riding to the city. When he reached the bottom of the city wall, the soldiers on the city wall cheered even more fiercely. Yang Xiangzheng also came out of the city gate at this moment, ran to Lin Cunde's horse, knelt down on one knee, and said: "My lord, fortunately you have lived up to your command. , Congratulations on your triumphant return!"

"Okay, thank you for your hard work!" Lin Cunde smiled and nodded.

"Sir, I will lead the horse for you!" Yang Xiangzheng stood up, took the reins, and led Lin Cunde's horse in.

Xiang Qing and the others also followed, and waited until they passed through the city gate and arrived inside the city.

"My lord, you are mighty!" At this moment, the soldiers inside the city wall all knelt down and raised their hands to Lin Cunde.

"My lord is mighty!" Then the soldiers in the distance knelt down from near to far, shouting "My lord is mighty".

At this moment, Lin Cunde was also very proud!

Lin Cunde turned over and dismounted, and reached the stairs next to him. Lin Cunde held the handle of the long sword, walked for more than ten steps, stopped, turned around, and saw all the soldiers kneeling down waiting for his orders.

"Brothers! I, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, the admiral of the fifth military camp, Bolin Cunde of Luling of the Ming Dynasty, thank you all. Today, all the soldiers are not afraid of death or the enemy, and completely wipe out the enemy forces outside the city. On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I, Thank you brothers, the Ming Dynasty is mighty, the Ming army is mighty, long live our emperor!" Lin Cunde stood there and shouted loudly at the dismounted soldiers.

"The Ming Dynasty is mighty, the Ming army is mighty, long live our emperor!" Everyone stood up and shouted loudly.

"Brothers, tonight, all the soldiers and civilians in Shanhaiguan will have half a catty of meat and half a catty of wine each to celebrate the great victory!" Lin Cunde shouted to the soldiers below!

"Oh~" The soldiers below heard Lin Cunde saying that each person had half a catty of meat and half a catty of wine to celebrate, and they cheered even more.

Lin Cunde also looked at everything in front of him with a smile, then turned around and walked towards the city wall holding a long knife. Lin Cunli and Xiang Qing quickly followed.
