Chapter 354: Annihilation

The Taozhou army won, and when Zhang sent his Siduya soldiers, there was no suspense in the battle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The fierce Tugu Hun Xianbei nomadic warriors, and the collision with the Tang Mansion soldiers, in the end, the Tang Mansion soldiers won simply and beautifully.

How were the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty trained? Some people say that it is because of the frequent wars since the end of the Sui Dynasty, some people say that the rewards for fighting are very high, and some people say that when the soldiers can divide the land and are exempt from taxes, and being a government soldier is the easiest way to get a career. In addition, there are also government soldiers who are all children of landlords, etc., with good family conditions and strong health, etc.

But Zhang Chao thinks that the Tang Dynasty soldiers can be so elite and not lose to the nomadic cavalry, there are all kinds of things, but the most important point is the military discipline of the government soldiers.

If you don't see the military discipline regulations of the government soldiers, ordinary people may think that the Tang government soldiers are just a group of militia, and they are soldiers in agricultural warfare when they are not in good quality.

But the facts are completely different, a military law is full of killing words. Half of the content is a crime of execution.

For example, for those who leak military information, they will be put to death. Whoever turns his back on the army and flees shall be put to death. Anyone who arrives late after the prescribed time shall be put to death.

Those who are not in order, and whose weapons and armor are not polished, shall be put to death. fornicating with enemy soldiers, put to death. Whoever plunders a place while marching shall be put to death. Whoever brought a woman into the camp was put to death.

Whoever surrenders without a fight will not only be put to death but also have his wealth confiscated.

Even after the formation is formed, if someone steps out of the queue without permission and casually advances or retreats, or rushes out of the queue to attack and rush to the front first, disturbing the integrity of the queue, they can be executed.

In other words, if you rush too hard, you will be put to death.

Others, such as gambling in the army, involve a penny that can be executed. If the interest on the loan exceeds ten cents, even if the usury is punishable by death.

And when the bowstring is already up, and those who look left and right will also be put to death.

Those who stand in the wrong queue shall be put to death.

Lose the flag and be put to death.

In battle, the commander was lost, and all his followers were executed.

......

For this purpose, there are also special military judges, and each team has a military judge and clerk.

It is estimated that there are hundreds of regulations on death in military law.

Compared with the seven kills and fifty-four slashes of the ancient military law, there are many more.

When a government soldier is selected as a government soldier, the first thing he does is not to immediately learn the battle formation and receive training, but to first learn these military laws and regulations, everyone will memorize them, and then memorize them for a lifetime.

Under these seemingly very harsh military laws, a force with strict military discipline and high combat effectiveness has been created.

However, under the strict military order, the rewards for the soldiers were also very high.

It is forbidden to hide war booty in the army, and all military materials seized must be returned to the public, but if non-military materials are found, although they must also be handed over, they can get 20% as a reward.

In addition, all the captures in battle, except for the ordnance, were to be given to the soldiers who fought in a unified register.

In addition, there will also be rewards for meritorious service in combat.

What the soldiers are most concerned about is that after meritorious service, they can not only get money and food rewards, but also be given honors, knights, and even official positions. Get the Lord, there is Huntada Yongyetian. There is even a chance to be directly promoted and joined. Crossed the most difficult threshold and became a scholar from then on.

The equipment of the Don Army was also elite.

The equipment of the Tang army was divided into two types, one was provided by the imperial court, and the other was provided by the government soldiers. But no matter which one it is, it is specially made by the imperial court, and it is not allowed to be made privately. It's just that the armor, crossbows, spears, lances, and equipment provided by the imperial court will be stored in the arsenal of the military government after the war.

The horizontal knives, bows, and spears prepared by the government soldiers can be kept by themselves. The Mo knives of the Mo swordsmen can also be regarded as the self-provided equipment of the government soldiers. The soldiers paid for the purchase of standard weapons in the departments designated by the imperial court.

Therefore, although many of the equipment of the Datang Mansion soldiers are self-prepared, they are not built by themselves, and they do not have a variety of weapons.

Instead, the specifications are all made by the imperial court with uniform standards.

There are fields that do not need to pay taxes, sufficient and sophisticated equipment, coupled with sufficient training, as well as frequent battles in the early Tang Dynasty, as well as the strict military laws of the Tang Army, which finally created this Tang Army.

The people all want to be government soldiers, and the government soldiers are well treated and have the opportunity to surrender to the land.

Unlike the forbidden army of the Song Dynasty, they can only get some dead military salaries, and they may be deducted. Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, the guards have become tenant slaves of the officers, they can't eat, they don't have any equipment, what do they use to fight?

Another characteristic of the Tang Dynasty's government soldiers was that they were lifelong rather than hereditary. If you select the government soldiers, you have to be old and retire at the age of sixty. After his death, the land granted will be withdrawn, and the father will not succeed to the son.

It is a three-year selection, and the children of good people who are good at the same time have good family conditions and are healthy and young.

This time, many of the newly selected government soldiers in Taozhou, such as the group of workshop apprentices who came up, they were only a special case, and they were recruited as soldiers because of the emergency situation last time. When the war is over, you have to return to your original identity.

However, due to the emptiness of the right pass on the right side of Long, they were specially selected as government soldiers, stationed in Taozhou, and guarded in Tuntian. It can be said that they are lucky, and many of them are not qualified to be selected as government soldiers under normal circumstances.

However, in the Zhuwei Mansion of Taozhou, these recruited soldiers turned into government soldiers had to start as auxiliaries, and they could only be stationed in battle. They have to work hard to meet the standards before they can become real soldiers.

But now, the battle in Jiangxin City is over.

This group of auxiliaries is busy, and they have to take on the duty of cleaning up the battlefield.

The soldiers completed their tasks and began to recuperate.

Dawn.

The tragedy on the Jiangxin Peninsula was shown one by one.

Last night's battle was tragic and brutal.

But this tragedy and cruelty are relative to the soldiers of the Yeli Department, the strong bows and hard crossbows of the Tang Army, as well as bed crossbows and catapults, let them truly experience what it means to be miserable.

And the heavy cavalry and Mo swordsmen of the Tang Army let them know what despair and collapse are.

When the endless Tang army surrounded them on this Jiangxin Island, they regretted not being at the beginning.

There is nowhere to run, and there is no escape.

The Yeli cavalry, which eventually collapsed, tried to cross the river on horseback, but was shot countless by the crossbowmen on the opposite bank, and finally surrendered in despair.

Jiangxin Island, a carefully selected trap, a cage of despair.

Most of the Fengli soldiers on the island surrendered, and the old and weak women and children outside the island did not escape. With more than 2,000 soldiers, Su Dingfang easily broke through the camp of the Yeli people, and after a single killing, he successfully captured the Yeli people in the entire camp.

More than fifteen thousand captives.

When this number was summed up in the temporary branch of the Jiangxin City Exchange, those generals let out exclamations one by one. Even generals like Pi Lou Wuche and Yi Su Gu Shenqing felt incredible.

In one night, they took 15,000 captives.

Zhang Chao sat there, looking at the report but only smiling.

In this era, many elite divisions could not withstand thirty percent of the battle losses. For an average army, two out of ten casualties can easily collapse.

In last night's battle, in fact, there were not many Xianbei people killed.

After the war, the inventory showed that less than 800 Yeli soldiers were killed on Jiangxin Island, but the Tang army created an excellent situation last night, was lured to Jiangxin Island, and then cut off the retreat and became a beast in prison. The elite and ferocity of the Tang Army, coupled with the black lights and blind fire, the Yeli people were chaotic and disorderly.

After being disorganized by the cavalry, there was no command at all.

Eventually, the Yeli people collapsed early and then surrendered.

If it weren't for the excellent terrain of this battlefield, even if the Yeli people were ambushed, they would definitely have scattered and fled immediately. But this is an island, and one by one specific conditions allowed Zhang Chao to win a beautiful victory, and even captured 15,000 prisoners.

Basically, of the more than 15,000 Yeli people who came, except for less than 1,000 people killed on the island and in the camp outside the island, the rest became Zhang Chao's prisoners.

"We also seized a lot of horses and a large number of cattle and sheep."

The horse was the mount of the Yeli people, almost one for each person, and the warrior also had two horses. Cattle and sheep were their military rations, and now they have become the trophies of the Tang army.

The Yeli people brought almost the entire tribe, so Zhang Chao almost harvested the entire Black Yeli Department in the first battle.

"Su Sima!"

"The end is coming!" After Su Dingfang fought all night, his face was full of excitement. This battle was fought beautifully, and it was won beautifully.

"I'll give you a task, take a thousand light horsemen, immediately go to sweep the territory of Heiyeli, and capture all the remaining thousands of Heiyeli women and children who stayed behind, as well as their cattle, sheep and horses, I also want them."

"You lead the cavalry first, and I will personally lead most of the troops to meet you."

"Beware of the other Yeli tribes, and if they find you, don't fight them."

Heiyeli was originally a neighbor of Taozhou, with a territory of hundreds of miles and a population of 20,000. This time, after they were completely planted on Jiangxin Island, Zhang Chao naturally would not let them go.

Cutting grass has to be eradicated, not to mention that there are still so many cattle, sheep, horses and people on Heiyeli's territory.

Zhang Chao wants all of these.

The last time he destroyed a Yeli Ministry, the population of 3,000 made Zhang Chao make a fortune. This time, it was a tribe of 20,000 people, and Taozhou was completely developed.

Su Dingfang laughed and turned around.

"Xu Changshi, you go to appease the frightened Fanhan businessmen in Xiajiangxin City, and you can give some compensation and compensation to those who love and hurt. Tell them that Jiangxin City will continue to be open, and I, Datang, will continue to protect Jiangxin City and the merchants who come here to trade. ā€

"Envoy, did we really swallow it like this?" Cen Wenwen, Sun Fujia, Li Shousu and other middle and senior civil officials in the state were all full of surprise.

"It's already fat in my mouth, can't I still spit it out?" Zhang Chao asked with a smile.

"But Hei Yeli is only one of the seven divisions of Yeli, and there are 20,000 soldiers in the seven divisions of Yeli." Li Shousu asked worriedly.

"So what? Heiyeli also claimed to have 3,000 horsemen, but as a result, we only paid less than 100 casualties before uprooting his entire clan. I have already spoken and said, if anyone does not offend me, I will not offend anyone, but if anyone offends me, I will offend others. If you commit a crime in the Tang Dynasty, you will be killed even if you are strong! ā€

Seeing that they still looked worried, Zhang Chao reassured, "Don't worry, Yeli Sixth Department may not come, even if they dare to come, we don't need to be afraid." ā€

The four of them sat there and smacked their lips all the time.

"If you have something to say, say it!" Zhang Chao gave him a blank look.

"Governor, the last general is worried."

"Worried about what?"

"We are already short of food in Taozhou, and now we have increased by 15,000 captives all of a sudden, I'm worried that we won't have enough food!"

Zhang Chao snorted, "You have Tao River water in your head, right?" Although we have increased the number of captives by 15,000, we have captured more cattle and sheep, and we will have to eat meat and drink milk in the future! ā€

Niu was stunned when he saw the tiger, and then patted his head, "yes, why didn't I think of it!" ā€

3,300 monthly tickets, the classification list rose to sixth place, a total of three chapters, and 12 chapters owed.

There is a bonus for the fifth monthly pass in classification, and there is no sixth one, and I looked at it, and it was 1100 votes away from the fifth, and it was the medical system of the octopus god, and it was a little far away. It seems that this month is just one step away from the bonus... Brothers, come and comfort yourself with a few tips! (To be continued.) )
