The anger that he was going to bear did not happen, and under Yang Chendong's instructions, Yang Er also found a military coat to put on Humang, and then everyone entered the city with the sixth young master.

Although it is said that it has only been a short three months, the atmosphere in the city has changed to a certain extent, there is no noise as before, and there seem to be a lot fewer people walking around the streets, which is the reaction and result after losing the battle.

In this regard, Yang Chendong saw it in his eyes, but he still didn't say a word, the team came to the Yang Mansion, and after Xiao Feng's regiment was also placed in the barracks, in the hall of the mansion, the three regiment leaders of Hu Mang, Chasing Feng, and Su He all knelt on the ground, and they knew in their hearts that this moment was the time for the sixth young master to ask for guilt.

Yang Chendong didn't reprimand them in front of so many people, just to save face for them, after all, they are all people who lead troops, if they are scolded too harshly, they are still in front of their subordinates, which is not conducive to them to lead troops and command the army in the future.

There were no outsiders, Yang Chendong casually found a chair to sit down, and after just glancing at the three kneeling people, he said, "Let's talk about it, what's going on?" ”

Although the defeat was known from the telegram, it was not explained what exactly happened. If you don't understand, you don't have the right to speak, Yang Chendong really wants to know how the other party defeated Humang, after all, all the conspiracies and tricks ultimately depend on their own strength. It's like a three-year-old child, no matter how calculating, if you want to defeat a twenty-year-old strong man head-on, it will be difficult to do.

"Here's the thing..."Hu Mang complained, and Su He and Chaifeng on the side added, and the story of the incident was clearly shown in front of Yang Chendong.

The reason why the Mobei Mongol Department suddenly attacked the capital city was that they had betrayed the intelligence and betrayed the Mobei Mongol Department, and they had come to seek revenge. Originally, he was weak-hearted, and in addition to the fact that his troops were far inferior to the other party's general, Muren wisely chose to leave and let go of the city. After the news reached Shicheng, Hu Mang called a meeting of the officers, and after discussion, it was finally decided to take the capital city and alleviate the threat that could exist to them at any time.

After the decision was made to send troops, the corresponding military plans followed. Focusing on the frontal attack of the independent division, the deputy division commander Xin Honghai led the team to lead eight battalions and a regiment of recruits to carry out the task; On the left side, the cavalry strengthened the first regiment as the main attack, the regiment commander chased the wind and led the team, and the second regiment of recruits followed the army; On the right side, the Tatar cavalry regiment was the main attack, led by the regiment commander Su He, and the three regiments of recruits moved with the army. A total of more than 16,000 people launched a fierce attack on the capital.

The division commander Hu Mang led the remaining eight battalions of the independent division, as well as Xu Yunsheng's reconnaissance battalion and logistics regiment, to stay behind and be responsible for the security of the city and the supply of the army.

Even three new regiments were sent, which in itself speaks for itself. This was supposed to be a training operation, to take the recruits to experience the atmosphere of the battlefield, so that they could adapt to the environment faster and better.

It's just a capital city, and it's facing the Mobei Mongolian Department that has been defeated again and again in their own hands, and no one really takes them seriously. And it turned out that it did not take long to capture the capital, and the army scared the enemy away and occupied it with a single charge. And all the changes began to take place at this moment, when the army occupied the capital and was cheering for victory, when suddenly the sound of explosions in the city rang out, and then the flames of the sky were ignited.

The unsuspecting mercenaries were beaten squarely, and the explosions and flames devoured their lives and disrupted their battle formations, and according to later statistics, the number of soldiers who were burned and killed under the blazing fire alone was as high as nearly 5,000 people, in addition to at least 2,000 more soldiers who were burned and wounded.

The chaos didn't just end there, but at the moment when the explosion sounded and the fire burned, countless Mongol cavalry appeared on all sides of the capital, charging forward with bows and arrows, like a tornado in the desert.

Without the slightest preparation, in the face of the sudden Mongol cavalry, the mercenaries panicked. On the battlefield, there was a one-sided situation, and the one-sided slaughter began...

When he said this, Hu Mang also raised his head, looked at Yang Chendong, who was speechless, and said: "The generals are still very brave, many soldiers who have been burned have taken the initiative to take on the task of covering, such as Gao Danhua, the commander of the second battalion of the First Cavalry Reinforcement Regiment, he is in the midst of fire, and the burned area of his body has reached more than forty percent, but he still rushed to the enemy with the soldiers with his saber, and finally died on the battlefield." In this battle, we lost 10,000 soldiers and wounded more than 4,000 soldiers... Young master, it's all my fault, I made a mistake in command, you can punish me. ”

In the end, Hu Mang slammed his head to the ground again and again, and soon blood began to flow from his forehead, drop after drop...

"That's enough." Yang Chendong's roaring voice finally came from the dull hall, "It's not me who you're sorry for, but those soldiers who died on the battlefield, do you know how many families their deaths will bring pain and indelible pain to a lifetime?" ”

With such a roar, Hu Mang didn't dare to make a sound, but just lowered his head and cried. Chasing Feng and Su He, who were kneeling on the side, were also very ugly on their faces, this time the main responsibility was on Hu Mang, who commanded the army, but as his deputy, he didn't stop it, and he didn't find the problem, which was also a great responsibility.

The room was quiet again, Yang Chendong's chest was constantly rising and falling after shouting this sentence, obviously he was really angry, all this was in Yang Er's eyes, he was also very worried, stepped forward and whispered: "Young master, take care of your body, your anger hurts your body." ”

"Hey." This persuasion was exchanged for a long sigh from Yang Chendong, and then he waved his hand, "That's it, you are indeed responsible this time, but where did this fire come from, and how did the Mobei Mongolian tribe let you set yourself on fire, this is the main reason, let me ask you, can you find out the reason?" ”

"Ahh Not... No. Hu Mang looked up again, but the shame on his face was heavier.

This result seemed to be expected by Yang Chendong, and he could also understand that after losing the battle to such an extent, all everyone thought about was how to defend the city, where would they have time to take care of others? He simply didn't say anything about it, but just summarized the defeat, "As senior officers, the three of you will each have a major demerit and be fined for one year. ”

"Nope." After hearing this, the three of Humang's bodies couldn't stop shaking. This is a very serious warning, according to the regulations, if you commit something within a year, you will really have nothing to do with the army. It's just that compared to the dead warriors, it seems that this result is not so difficult to accept.

"Well, again, there is no eternal victory in war. Today's failure is to sum up the experience, and not to make the same mistake next time, now we still think about how to improve the morale of the military. You just said that everyone did well in the battle, but are there any examples to be found? "Yang Chendong has also been punished, people can't be resurrected after death, and the cause must continue to work, and everything can't stop because of a defeat.

"Yes, yes..." Hu Mang raised his head and immediately made a verbal report on what he had heard and learned. A new idea began to take shape in Yang Chendong's mind with these reports.

On the third day after Yang Chendong entered the First City, his family also came to the First City.

Before they arrived, they had heard a lot about this city, but everything was only imaginary, but when they actually entered this place, all kinds of exclamations naturally came from their mouths.

Shicheng is naturally much worse than that of the Northern Ming Jingshi, even a little worse than an old city like Xuanfu, but after walking through the snow and seeing the white grassland, it is not easy to see such a big city here.

It was only two days later, and the number of people on the streets of the city had already begun to increase. The messenger of the Immortal Heaven has returned, and the God of War has returned, which is like a shot in the arm for everyone, so that the people in the city can see hope again.

If Yang Chendong's return can be regarded as a kind of mental stimulation, then the death pension issued to the people in the past two days is a real, visible and tangible benefit.

Yang Chendong gave an order, and the treasury in the city was opened, and most of the silver accumulated in it was taken out and used to pay the families and relatives of the fallen soldiers. When the real money was sent to the families of the Mongols by the mercenaries, the shock naturally appeared.

The Mongols are said to be a people on horseback, because they have been exposed to the idea of the jungle since childhood, and the emphasis is on the respect of the strong, and the strong enjoy everything and get everything. And as a weak person, or even a dead person, no matter how powerful they were in life, they are just a pile of white grains after death. is like Genghis Khan at the beginning, after his father's death, he also lived a low-level life for several years.

The strong enjoy everything, and the dead have ashes, which seems to have formed an iron law in the grassland. But now, Yang Chendong broke all these laws, the dead soldiers, the families of the families received generous gold and silver compensation, although this does not make the dead resurrected, nor can it make some people forget the joy of losing their loved ones, but it is better than getting nothing, especially they get a lot, the dead soldiers, each of them is at least fifty taels of pension, and those who have the status of an officer will only get more.
