Chapter 122 Attack the enemy's strength with his own shortcomings

Seeing that Shan Xiongxin's entire army was annihilated, Wang Ren was afraid, and led his troops to retreat fifteen miles away in the direction of Hangu Pass. However, Wang Ren didn't know that at this time, Chen Ying was also at the end of the crossbow, because of his participation in the encirclement and annihilation of Shan Xiongxin's department, the Modao army was squeezed out of its last strength, and I am afraid it could not be recovered in a day or two.

More than 2,000 crossbowmen shot more than 100,000 arrows, at this time, these crossbowmen did not let go of arrows, and even took chopsticks to eat, their hands were trembling. However, in this battle, Wang Renze's losses were not light, and the forward battalion under his command was almost completely wiped out, even worse than Chen Ying's loss of the left guard rate. In particular, the Tomahawk Battalion under his command became Chen Ying's prisoner, which made Wang Renze extremely annoyed.

This battle was the first defeat that Wang Renze suffered, and it also made Wang Renze's prestige in the army greatly lost.

On the other hand, Chen Ying, although this battle was frightening, he gained a lot. Especially more than 2,000 heavily armored armor, although Chen Ying is not eye-catching, but these equipment is also good steel, if you return to the furnace, add manganese ore powder and charcoal powder, and re-smelt, you can play a batch of lighter weight, stronger defense ability of the Mingguang armor, or Mo Dao, the Mo Dao Army can be directly expanded into two Zhichong Mansion, or ** regiment.

The matter of equipment, Chen Ying is easy to solve, but it can't solve the problem of people. Guanzhong bears the heaviest taxes, and it is also heavily exploited by the clan lords and the government, so the people in Guanzhong are weak and cannot adapt to the bulky equipment of Modao.

However, the battle was fought quite hard. Even though he knew that Wang Renze was fifteen miles away, Chen Ying did not order an attack, but set up camp on the spot, stopped the battle, rested, and treated the wounded.

……

When the young general Qin Yong knew that he was going to die, he was very calm. Looking at the snowflakes falling slowly from the sky, and the blood flowing less and less, his head was blurred.

In the tenth year of the Great Cause, Lu Mingyue, the leader of the rebels of Zhuo County, attacked Zhu A of Qi County, and Zhu A was the hometown of Qin. At that time, the rebels robbed everything they could see like locusts crossing the border, and Qin Yong, who was only sixteen years old at the time, was also coerced into an army. However, when Qin Yong didn't have time to escape, Zhang Xutuo, the general guard of Qi County, took Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin to counterattack Lu Mingyue, especially Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin took the lead, with more than 1,000 parts, and broke Lu Mingyue's more than 30 big accounts, and Qin Yong surrendered to Qin Qiong at that time and became Qin Qiong's personal soldiers.

Qin Yong followed Qin Qiong to meet Shan Xiongxin in Wagang, Shan Xiongxin was very bold, when Qin Yong's mother was seriously ill, he paid for his treatment, his mother died of illness, and Shan Xiongxin paid for him to buy a coffin for a thick burial.

Qin Yong didn't know if Shan Xiongxin had escaped, but he had tried his best, and fighting on the battlefield was not enough to repay Shan Xiongxin's kindness, so there was only the afterlife. Just when Qin was unconscious with his will, he felt vaguely like he had flown away.

When Qin Yong woke up again, he found that he was in great pain all over his body. I saw a man with a vicious face, like a butcher, holding a cloth with salt sticking to it, wiping his wounds.

When the salt water touches the wound, the wound hurts like fire.

Qin Yong opened his mouth and roared in a voice as low as a mosquito: "Kill people without a head, give Ye Ye a good time!" ”

The butcher slapped Qin Yong's head: "The hair hasn't grown yet, who are you?" ”

Qin Yong didn't have the strength to fight back, but his mouth was not idle: "Lao Tzu is you yes, it's you yes......"

The butcher holds a needle in a clamp and roasts it on the fire until the needle is completely red, then the butcher takes a white thread and threads it into the needle hole, and then the red-hot needle at him.

Qin Yong was still guessing that this might be a new method of torturing people that the Tang people thought of, and his face suddenly turned pale: "Kill Ye Ye, Ye Ye will not surrender, Ye Ye Eighteen years later, he is still a good man!" ”

"Nourishing ......"

The needles that burned red pierced into the flesh and raised a puff of white smoke, Qin Yong insisted on five or six stitches, and finally couldn't hold on anymore, and his head was crooked and unconscious.

……

Chen Ying is accustomed to using soldiers in winter, in fact, the key factor is that in winter the weather is cold, the wound is not easy to inflame, so unless he encounters a wounded person who cannot be saved, under normal conditions, the wounded soldier can be treated and recovered.

In this war, more than 2,700 people were killed in the East Palace, and more than 5,900 people were injured to varying degrees, including more than 3,000 seriously wounded. More than 2,000 lightly wounded passed through the bazaar, which did not affect the rest of the battle, but most of the wounded were still concentrated in the left guard rate. Chen Ying looked at the list of more than 2,300 people led by the left guard, and frowned.

At this time, Wei Ling, the deputy of the left guard, woke up slowly, his injuries were not light, his ribs were broken, his right arm and lower arm were fractured, and his internal organs were also seriously damaged, it would not be good in a short time, it would take at least three months, at this time Wei Ling sent someone to summon Chen Ying and asked to see Chen Ying.

In fact, Chen Ying was very dissatisfied with the poor performance of the left back rate. Although it was Shan Xiongxin who launched a surprise attack, the five Zhichong Mansion led by Zuo Wei were all defeated in just half an hour, and the generals of Zuo Wei were responsible for not shirking it. Of course, the situation of the left guard rate is also very special, the left guard rate Wei Ting was dismissed from his official position half a year ago, and the training of the left guard rate fell behind, and although Chen Ying has undergone a month of intense training, Chen Ying cannot be all-encompassing due to the four rates of the whole army.

For the sake of Wei Lingze's seriously injured face, Chen Ying still went to see Wei Lingze.

At this time, Wei Ling was lying on a four-wheeled carriage, which had been converted into a medical cart to accommodate six seriously wounded, or more than a dozen lightly wounded. Wei Ting's treatment was slightly better, and a lieutenant in this carriage traveled with him, preparing to return to Chang'an to recuperate.

Seeing Chen Ying coming, Wei Ling struggled to get up: "The last general will meet the general, the last general is injured and can't do the full salute!" ”

Chen Yingdao: "I don't know what happened to Deputy Wei? ”

Wei Ling said: "General, may I ask those prisoners, what should they do?" ”

Wei Ling had heard that Chen Ying was going to kill those prisoners, but at this time, these captured and wounded soldiers would actually be treated according to the platoon personnel, enjoying the same treatment as the soldiers of the Tang Army, which was not like wanting to kill them.

Chen Ying would not be able to hear what Wei Lingze meant, if Shan Xiongxin's command were all Turkic or Khitan, or Goguryeo, Chen Ying would not mind building a Beijing temple on the northern plateau of Hangu Road.

Seeing that Chen Ying didn't speak, Wei Lingfang hurriedly said, "Does the general want to kill the prisoners?" ”

Chen Ying shook his head and said: "I want to persuade them to surrender, from Shan Xiongxin to the entire Tomahawk Battalion, these are all from elite people, Shandong heroes, it's too regrettable to kill!" ”

Wei Ling said: "However, their hands are stained with the blood of the brothers of the Left Guard, if they are left behind, how will the brothers of the Left Guard be treated?" ”

Chen Ying's face turned cold: "The army is facing each other, each is its master, casualties are inevitable, and the skills are not as good as others, how can you complain about the sky!" ”

Wei Ling still wanted to persuade again, Chen Ying was too lazy to talk nonsense with Wei Ling, if it weren't for Wei Ling, Yin and Yang would be violated, the left guard rate was as intense as other guard rates, the left guard rate was vigilant, and the left guard rate would not have such heavy casualties. In fact, don't look at Wei Lingze's serious injuries in battle now, Chen Ying is ready to suggest to Li Jiancheng to replace Wei Lingze, the deputy leader.

"I don't need you to teach you how to behave!" Chen Ying said coldly: "Deputy Wei, you better go back to Chang'an to recuperate!" ”

As he spoke, Chen Ying went to the wounded barracks to comfort the lightly and seriously wounded.

When Chen Ying went to the wounded barracks to visit these wounded soldiers, the wounded soldiers were inexplicably moved. In the eyes of the generals of this era, small soldiers are just materials and consumables, and generals like Chen Ying who attach importance to wounded soldiers are not nothing, but there are too few.

Chen Ying is a human being, and he knows very well that these wounded soldiers are actually treasures, they have seen blood, they have been injured, they have overcome the obstacle to blood in their hearts, and after returning from injury, they are fierce soldiers who are not afraid of death, much stronger than the eggs of new soldiers.

When Chen Ying found that the food in the camp of the wounded soldiers was actually without oil and water, Chen Ying said to Chen Huairen, the medical captain: "If the wounded soldiers want to recover quickly, their nutrition must keep up. ”

The baggage officer said with a grimace: "But, our regulations." ”

"Don't tell General Ben about any regulations, no, in the name of General Ben, ask for Chang'an!" Chen Ying frowned suddenly, although Chang'an is not far from here, it is also far away and cannot quench his thirst. Chen Ying's gaze suddenly looked at the mountains of heavy armor.

The two heavy armors of the Tomahawk Battalion are good things, although Chen Ying has armor and blades made of high manganese steel, he doesn't look down on ordinary iron armor, but for other generals, iron armor is still a good thing.

Chen Ying said to the baggage officer: "Do you see this pile of armor?" These are all good things, you bring some armor to Li Shentong, and ask me to prepare a thousand pigs and three thousand sheep, and I will give him three hundred sets of iron armor! ”

Don't look at the number of 3,000 sheep and 1,000 pigs, but compared to these 300 sets of iron armor, it is really insignificant. The point is that steel is now a strategic material and cannot be bought with money. The Tongguan guard was Li Shentong, who, as the pacification ambassador of Shandong Province, had a large amount of money and grain in his hands.

According to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, sixty percent of the battlefield seizures were handed over to the state treasury, and forty percent of the materials and equipment could be distributed between the generals and the soldiers, which means that Chen Ying was allowed to trade with these iron armors. A set of iron armor is at least ten times, and two layers of iron armor is one hundred and eighty-nine times, the market price of this set of armor can be equivalent to the price of more than 300 sheep, and three hundred sets of armor are exchanged for three thousand sheep and one thousand pigs, which is actually equal to the price of cabbage.

Li Shentong saw that Chen Ying gave him such a big gift, Li Shentong didn't think about it at all, not only gave Chen Ying an extra 5,000 stone of grain, but also gave 500 jars of wine for nothing.

The baggage officer returned to the Tang army camp with more than 1,000 live pigs and more than 3,000 live sheep.

Chen Ying said domineeringly: "General Chuanben ordered that the soldiers of the whole army should drink half a catty and be full of meat." ”

Meat is a rarity in this era. Don't look at ordinary soldiers, even if they are wealthy small landlords, they are not willing to eat meat a few times a year. Hearing the news, all the generals immediately cheered loudly: "The general is mighty, and the general is domineering!" ”

The sound is so loud that it goes straight into the sky.

The cheers of the Tang army were like a tide, and they were separated by a layer into the Zheng army camp, Wang Ren didn't understand what was going on, but the excitement and excitement of the cheers were self-evident, he looked back at the soldiers and horses, the soldiers were tired and weak, Mo said that he was under siege, even if they were evenly matched, this battle could not be fought again, he stood on the horse and looked in the direction of the Tang army camp, and sighed to the generals: "Defeated by Chen Ying with superior forces, I have nothing to say, but I am tired of you and suffer with me." Although the terrain here in Nanyuan is open, we can't beat them, if we want to defeat Chen Ying, we must retreat and retreat to the Chousang Plateau, those terrains are complex and changeable, Chen Ying's children's trilogy can't be used at all. ”

Wang Renze didn't know that he was simply trapping himself as a Jedi and attacking Chen Ying's strength with his own shortcomings. Read the latest chapters, stay tuned
