Chapter 1441 The commander is worried that they are specially here to take advantage of the war
Chapter 1441
The three camps were really fatal to shell, and about half of the enemy soldiers killed in battle, and the other half were either burned to death or trampled to death.
Especially when the Song army soldiers were clearing Suzhou City, many of the bodies of the fallen Liao army soldiers at the four gates were stabbed and killed by their own people, all of whom wanted to fight for a way out.
It took a whole day to count the results and clean the battlefield. Those uninjured and slightly injured prisoners of war were also taken to the battlefield to clean up supplies.
Zong Ze, who had almost never met his eyes in two days, handed the repeatedly proofreaded booklet to Zhong Shidao, who was also exhausted but had to force himself to continue working.
"In this battle, our army won the whole battle. About 8,200 corpses were counted out in this battle, and 15,742 enemies were captured, and the rest fled north."
"But it is a bit regrettable that the enemy's camps and various materials were almost completely burned down, and they were left to the enemy, nor to us. However, those stone throwers counted and 97 were intact..."
"Okay, very good. Our Dalian defenders have only more than 10,000 troops, but now they have won such a great victory. This is actually the result of the artillery in front of the imperial army."
"Master, Master..." At this moment, a guard hurriedly ran into the hall from outside.
"What happened?" Zhong Shidao looked at the guard's nervous face and couldn't help but shout.
"The reinforcements sent by the capital have just arrived at the dock..." The guard replied with a bow to Shidao Zhong.
"...The reinforcements sent by the court? I..." Zhong Shidao opened his mouth, really didn't know what to say.
Several generals next to him frowned and said, "Master, fortunately they came late enough, otherwise, the generals were a little worried that they were here specifically to take advantage of their military achievements."
The group of generals were so happy that even Zong Ze couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense. Come with me to receive it. No matter what, although we have defeated the Liao army, we can get more reinforcements, so we just consider it. It's time to extend our footsteps to the north..."
"By the way, Lord Zong, please hurry up and pass on the good news to the capital, don't miss the matter."
Zong Zeshen nodded with consent. Of course, he understood what Zhong Shidao meant, that was to tell the court that before the reinforcements were sent, we had already killed 100,000 enemy troops and injured them and disabled them.
There were 10,000 imperial guards coming this time, and they were commanded by Zhao Jin, the deputy commander of the imperial guards. While slowly mooring into the dock with their ships, they could still see the smoke rising behind the city wall.
When he saw Zhong Shidao and heard that they had defeated the 100,000 Liao troops outside the city, Zhao Jin directly felt that this guy was bragging. However, when he was accompanied by Zhong Shidao, he rode out of the city gate and saw the three huge camp ruins and more than 15,700 prisoners of war, he couldn't help but admit it.
"Be good, if the sea breeze was not too strong two days ago and it would be difficult for us to travel, otherwise we would have caught up with this battle." Several imperial guards behind Zhao Jin couldn't help but sigh regretfully.
"Yes, if General Zhao, you can arrive in time, perhaps the results of our pursuit will be even more fruitful. Unfortunately, the Liaodong army had only more than 10,000 troops and horses, and it was already the limit to be able to control so many prisoners of war and have to take into account the others." Zhong Shidao stroked his long beard, and was very humble and hypocritical.

Tokyo Bianliang is at the intersection of Yin and Mao. There are few lights in Bianliang, which were originally lit, and it is not far from dawn. At this time, Wang Yang quickly rushed out of his mansion and jumped onto the horse that Wanyan Aguda had prepared. Surrounded by Wu Qilang and others, he ran wildly on the streets of Bianliang, where there were not many pedestrians.
The rapid sound of hooves even woke up a drunk man who was drunk on the side of the road. He raised his eyes and looked at the horse team that was gradually moving away. Then he stood up with trembling, wrapped his clothes on his body, and staggered towards the direction of home.
Wang Yang was the first to run wildly, with an excited look on his face, and he was carrying a good news from a carrier pigeon from Liaodong in his arms.
After rushing to the palace gate, Wang Yang turned over and jumped off the horse's back, shouting loudly. The imperial guard general who guarded the palace gate did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly came to Wang Yang and bowed in front of him.
"Mr. Wang, it's still half an hour before morning court..."
"Open the door, good news, good news from Liaodong, hurry up, send someone to inform Eunuch Ma. Go quickly!" Wang Yang shouted at the imperial guard general.
"Liaodong Good News?...Yes, let's go here, please wait for Lord Wang." Wang Yang was a big popular man in front of the emperor. He was a small imperial guard general who was guarding the palace gate.
He quickly raised his hand to greet an imperial guard on the palace wall. Soon the imperial guard ran away like a rabbit who was shot in the butt and ran wildly inside.
At this time, the imperial guard general asked Wang Yang to go to the concierge to take a break first, and asked curiously. "Mr. Wang, what kind of good news is there? Can you tell the young general?"
"Just the night before yesterday, our Song Dynasty imperial artillery and the Liaodong Army joined forces to kill 8,000 enemies and captured more than 15,700 enemies. The army of Northern Liao and Nuzhi was defeated and left."
The imperial guard general's eyes suddenly widened and he grinned. "Didn't our Liaodong army only have a fortress of over 10,000?"
"Now, fighting now is not just about fighting face to face with real swords and guns." Wang Yang grinned at this guy and said proudly.
Ma Shang was awakened by a fierce knock on the door. He looked at the dark and lacquered house. He heard the rapid call outside and couldn't help but scold in a sharp voice.
"Which bastard, it's not dawn, why are you knocking on our door?"
"Eunuch Ma, Lord Wang asks to see Your Majesty. There is a good news from Liaodong. My general dares not be good at it. I specially come to ask you for your advice." The imperial guards outside the door could only answer with a smile.
"Mr. Wang, Lord Wang Yang?" Ma Shang turned over and sat up and asked, sitting up.
"It's Lord Wang Yang..."
If it were someone else, Ma Shang would definitely tell the imperial guard that he would wait outside the palace gate obediently, but he was the old driver Wang Yang.
The helpless Ma Shang could only push open the door with a look of depression. "Hurry and take Lord Wang to His Majesty's imperial study room. Our family is waiting for him there. Oh... when is this..."
After a short while, the incoming official Wang Daren rushed to the imperial study room and saw Eunuch Yema waiting here.
"I said Xiaoma, what about your majesty? You haven't gotten up yet, right?" Wang Yang greeted enthusiastically.
"...Mr. Wang, my Master Wang, who do you think will get up at this time?" Ma Shang said helplessly after bowing to Wuyang with a bitter look on his face.
