Chapter 228 Smoke disappears

The soldier was seriously injured.

He pulled himself together, said a few words, then looked sleepy, and his upper and lower eyelids touched together.

Guo Ning took a wooden pillow from the side, put it behind his head, and slowly let go of the palm supporting his neck.

As soon as he let go, the soldier opened his eyes vigilantly: "Jie Shuai! Jie Shuai! There is one more thing!"

"I'm here."

"Liang Kuo is also being suppressed. He was with me. When he was being suppressed, he still talked to me. Save him! Hurry up!"

Guo Ning looked around, and an officer who came in a hurry stood where the soldier couldn't see, shaking his head.

The expression on Guo Ning's face remained unchanged, and he said kindly: "Okay, okay, his name is Liang Kuo, right? I remember him, and I will definitely find him."

The soldier was suddenly relieved, and his whole body went limp.

"Liang Kuo's field is better than mine, but I have raised pigs! My wife is good at roasting pork. After the war, you can invite him to eat, and invite everyone to eat..."

He closed his eyes and was still muttering, his voice became softer and weaker, and finally he fell asleep with weak breathing.

Guo Ning was silent for a while, then walked two steps outside the camp, and called the officer: "What do you say?"

"The wounded man's name is Ge Qingshu. He and his companion Liang Kuo are newly recruited soldiers in Shandong. The watchtower where the two of them are located has discovered the Mongolian army's surprise attack twice, and they have made great contributions."

The officer said cautiously: "However, when we found Ge Qingshu, he and Liang Kuo were both crushed under the collapsed watchtower. Liang Kuo's chest was crushed by a huge tree, his internal organs and bones were all broken, and he died long ago. Oh...Ge Qingshu is talking nonsense."

After a pause, seeing that Guo Ning was silent, the officer couldn't help but said again: "Marshal Jie, the loss of the people in the camp, the loss of so many recruits under Commander Wang, is really tragic! Let's..."

Guo Ning nodded, indicating that he didn't need to say more.

The officer was a little frustrated, which was inevitable.Inside and outside the camp, anyone who witnessed their own casualties will inevitably feel a little depressed.For this victory, too many people gave their all.

Guo Ning looked down, the ground under his feet was wet, and it was blood overflowing from nowhere.A broken long knife was stepped on the sole of his foot, and the sharp end of the long knife was attached to half of the severed palm.

The palm was covered with calluses, it was the palm of a farmer.

"Jieshuai, Jieshuai, step aside! Step aside!"

Someone shouted from the side.

Guo Ning looked up and saw a medical officer running towards him, sweating profusely.There are several soldiers behind, each of them carrying a stretcher.

On that day, Guo Ning was stationed at the Feijunhe camp, and the medical officer followed the army.He is an acquaintance of Guo Ning, he has always been irritable, and once poured cold water on Anzhou governor Tu Shanhang, so his words are not very polite.

Guo Ning quickly moved away.

A group of people rushed in along the road, so that Guo Ning didn't see the people on the stretcher clearly.He only saw the stretcher passing by, leaving fresh bloodstains on the ground; he only heard unconscious moans, as well as groans that were extremely painful but suppressed.

In Guo Ning's dream in Hebei Tangbo, some memories of the precautions for first aid and disinfection have been preserved to this day.In the past few months, he has gradually shared these points with the medical officers.But the medical skills of the medical officers seem to be far inferior to those in the dream.

Therefore, most of these seriously injured people are going to die, and Guo Ning does not report much hope for this.

In this battle, our own losses were indeed tragic, which was related to Guo Ning's strategy.Guo Ning needs his own troops to keep the enemy's attention in order to create the opportunity for the final blow.Therefore, many soldiers and civilians are actively or passively confronting unprecedentedly powerful enemies.

Casualties are inevitable, and it can even be said that it is precisely because of their casualties that they created the conditions for the final victory.

Guo Ning had no scruples about this.

He fought in Wushabao in northern Xinjiang for many years, and every time he fought and retreated with the Mongolian army, it would always involve the lives of soldiers and civilians in several forts.Under the Mongols' fast horses and sharp blades, there was never a living person in the breached fortress.Guo Ning was tempered as a result of this.

He is well aware of the horror of the Mongols, and even more aware of the catastrophe that will be brought about if the Mongols gain power.Therefore, he firmly believes that in order to win, it is worth paying all the price.

In every battle, he dared to bear any loss at any cost, and at the same time, he was not afraid to bet his own life.

Guo Ning was able to survive the fighting in northern Xinjiang because of this ruthlessness.From then on, step by step to seek victory in danger and defeat powerful enemies, relied on this ruthlessness.

In this regard, no matter Luo Monk, Li Ting or Jing Anmin are far inferior to Guo Ning.On the contrary, the old soldier Guo Zhongyuan's idea was quite in line with Guo Ning's wishes.

But at this moment, after the victory, Guo Ning stood in the wounded barracks, suddenly a little shaken.

Around him, many people looked at him.Even in the strong smell of blood, they are full of confidence in the future.They are real people, ordinary people who want to live a good life, not just human shields on the battlefield, or tools for a certain big man to achieve success.

He looked around, wanting to say something, but for a moment he didn't know how to face these soldiers.

After a while, he said loudly: "There will be!"

Many people looked at him curiously, not understanding what he was talking about.

Guo Ning paused and raised his voice: "There will be fields and livestock. We will plant seeds in spring, collect grain in autumn, and we will have sheep, cattle, pigs, and fishing in our spare time. Our family will have enough to eat and wear." Nuan; our children can read, understand reason, and have a better future! Everything will come true! I promise!"

"Everyone, we captured the Mongols' coach and forced them to retreat. This time, we won. But the Mongols are still there, and they are not far away. They are in Hebei, in the Central Plains, and in Shandong. Countless The place slaughters, loots, rapes... so we will always be here, with knives and guns, and keep vigilant! What we will have, will never be allowed to be destroyed by them! I promise!"

"My father died on the battlefield; many of my companions died on the battlefield; myself, or everyone present, may also die on the battlefield. People always have to die, but from now on , Everyone who died in the battle to protect the people in their hometown will receive incense and worship! Everyone’s family and relatives will receive the best protection! I promise!"

Having said that, Guo Ning closed his eyes and took a deep breath.After a while, he opened his eyes and laughed: "Of course, it's best not to die. How happy it is to be alive, drink and eat meat, and sleep with women! So, even if you are injured and can no longer serve, don't panic, you guys You will be taken care of and live comfortably! You will have everything you deserve! I promise!"

No one expected that Guo Ning would suddenly make a joke, and even some seriously injured people couldn't help but chuckle.

Someone spread Guo Ning's words to the outside of the wounded barracks and to the ears of many soldiers.Some soldiers began to cheer, and some people gathered towards the wounded barracks, wanting to hear every word Guo Ning said.

Guo Ning jumped into a carriage and looked around: "Do you still remember, before this great war, I asked you if you dare to fight and kill the enemy! Now I know that all of you have done it! Then, now I tell you, I will give you what I promised, and I will give more than you imagined!"

More people began to cheer, and Guo Ning raised his voice again:

"Everyone! Today, we defeated the attack of 1 Mongolian troops in Haicang Town, Laizhou, killing them into rivers of blood! This has never been done by anyone, but we have done it! From now on, the Mongols will When you see us, you will be afraid! And people all over the world will know that all of you, soldiers and civilians of Laizhou Dinghai Navy, are heroes and heroes! You will live better and live like a Hero, like a man! I promise!"

This passage was like a wave, being spread from the inside to the outside; and the soldiers cheered like a tide, and then came in from the outside to the inside.

Winners can be proud of themselves, winners can look forward to better things, and have strong confidence to defend what they deserve!
Many soldiers were fascinated, staring at Guo Ning standing on a high place, shouting loudly, again and again.

But at this moment, a fast horse came in and stopped in front of Guo Ning: "I report to Marshal Jie, there is news about the Mongolian army."

"speak."

"The Mongolian army is crossing the river in the upper reaches of Jiaoshui. Obviously, they have no intention of fighting again. Qiu Du will personally lead people to watch. In addition, a group of Mongolian envoys came and said they would visit the Jiedu envoy to discuss redemption and exchange of prisoners."
