Chapter 53: Puyin rests
Puyin City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When these soldiers entered the camp in the southwest corner of the city, the iron-clad Jizhou men had red eyes, and they held tightly in their hands the chickens that I don't know which people stuffed.
For the military revolution, this is the ultimate glory!
Even the eggs are available, not to mention the honey syrup and steamed cakes.
It's just that those things that sacrifice the army are very few, and they are pitifully few.
The three elders in the county said that the people in the city were better, after all, the Montenegrin army also had to camp in the city, but there were rebels who robbed the people's property and killed dozens of young people. It's just that the people outside the city have suffered, and after some pavilions have passed the chaotic army, there are not a few people left...... The corpses are strewn all over the field, and I can't bear to look at them.
Yanbei had never seen what kind of life the people outside the city lived, but just hearing what the county elder said, he only shuddered. The people of Jizhou are not only the people of Jizhou, but also the relatives of thousands of his soldiers who are loyal to him.
When the three elders in the county left, Yan Bei was expressionless, but he even had the heart to set fire to Taihang Mountain.
Everyone is in a different position, and what they value in their hearts is also different.
Maybe he is still the indulgent Yanbei, but he is also the parent of more than 10,000 subordinates, how can he not worry about people. Even if he led the army into Jizhou, in addition to avenging Zhen Yao, he only planned to defeat the other Black Mountain thieves, and it would be enough to pacify the northern part of Jizhou, and there were no his soldiers in the south of Jizhou, so this kind of problem should be left to the imperial court to consider.
After all, he was also a Yellow Turban Army, and he was also called a traitor and a rebel. Even if he has now received the captain of Wuhuan and crusaded against Montenegro, it is difficult to say in his heart that there is no feeling of hurting him.
But now he doesn't feel that way.
There are many kinds of rebels...... And he's one of the best of them.
"General, casualty losses have been liquidated."
The big camp in Puyin City, this time when he entered the city, Yanbei did not occupy the county official office, but stayed in the camp with his soldiers and horses.
Yan Bei recalled the direction of the Black Mountain Army's escape and planned on the map, and when he heard Tai Shici's voice, he raised his head every time, and just said: "There should be a lot of casualties and losses, Ziyi read it to let me listen...... If you look at these directions, Changshan Pass in the northwest, Wangdu in the west, and Lunu in the southwest, send scouts to explore these three directions. ”
He nodded his head and looked at the silk topographic map, taking a few routes in his mind. Only then did Yan Bei raise his head and raise his chin to Tai Shi Ci and wait for him to read.
"There were nearly 2,000 casualties among the various units, especially Zhang Sima's other troops, and now there are only 790 people left, of which more than 300 are lightly injured and can fight. There were more than 2,140 of the Koji lieutenants' troops, three out of ten wounded, and the Wuhuan people only participated in the final pursuit, with losses of no more than 300. The Yan Zhao warriors suffered the fewest casualties, with more than 300 seriously injured and killed. Tai Shici finished reading the bloody deaths and injuries, and continued with the book: "In addition to the soldiers, more than 600 war horses were killed and wounded, and more than 200 pack oxen and pack horses were killed or lost, and there were soldiers looking for them in; Chariots, more than half of the 300 chariots are damaged, and they are now being transported to the city, and the county orders the craftsmen to rest. ”
Yan Bei listened to Tai Shici's words for a long time without speaking, rubbed his forehead and knelt on the seat, his mind was a little dizzy after not sleeping for a long time, and he said slowly after a while: "I expected a lot of casualties, but this is still much bigger than I thought!" Have the bodies of our brethren been recovered from the battlefield? ”
Tai Shi Ci nodded and said: "It has been recovered, and now the corpse is in the east of the city, waiting for the state capital to send the soldiers and horses to transport the baggage back to Youzhou." The armor scattered on the battlefield was also collected one by one, including 280 iron armors, more than 800 leather armor but need to rest, more than 800 swords, spears, halberds, wooden cards, and farm tools...... Countless. ”
To be honest, the last thing Yanbei wants to hear now is the capture on the battlefield. What is this called seizure? Iron armor, leather armor, swords, all of which belonged to their own fallen soldiers, spears, halberds, shields, and farm tools, were all collected from the enemy, of course, countless, but can that kind of thing be used?
"So put the iron armor, the sword, and the usable armor in the camp first. Those damaged leather armor are for the people of the city to rest on their behalf, have you seen those spears? Many of the wooden poles should be damaged, and they also have to bother the people in the city to make wooden poles on their behalf, so they can only be sent back to Liaodong with farm tools. After Yan Bei said this, he said to Tai Shici: "Let the officials in the battalion calculate the number of available armor, you need to recruit troops in Puyin, no matter how many, you must arm the new soldiers." You go to each song to pick up troops, and those who have made meritorious contributions in this battle can pick up 280 people to supplement the Yan Zhao warriors. ”
"In addition, let people pass the word to the Koji Yi on the city gate, don't be careless, and go to the city head to defend every day." Yanbei sighed and said: "We are going to be stationed in Puyin for a few days, recruiting troops on the spot and waiting for Xian Yu to take over Puyin." ”
"No!"
Tai Shi Ci clenched his fists and went out to convey the order, but after a while, when he opened the curtain and came in, Yan Bei had already fallen asleep with his arms propped up on the desk.
These days have been too tiring for everyone. The long journey from Liaodong through the entire Youzhou, from the night attack to the daytime defense camp, in total, closed eyes for less than an hour, even the beasts can't carry it, let alone people?
Lightly rolling up the topographic map of the silk scarf on the desk and putting it aside, Tai Shici silently withdrew from the camp tent, and instructed the soldiers outside the tent that the general had already slept and not let others disturb him, so he stood in front of his camp tent and yawned.
Looking around the camp in the city, everything that has happened in the past few days is a little strange and magical to Tai Shici.
He just went to visit Qingzhou Daru Bing Genju, but he never thought that he would accidentally become the chief of the Wuhuan Captain's Department. And in the rest of the month, I have a contact and understanding of the meat eaters in Liaodong County.
Liaodong County is not like Donglai County, which is worth the entire Qingzhou in terms of armament alone, with more than 10,000 soldiers, four school captains, and county commanders in various places also control soldiers and horses. Among these officials, there are people such as Taishou and ordinary Han officials, as well as reckless people such as Sun Qing and Li Damu, which opened Tai Shici's eyes.
What made him even more profound was war.
Reading 100 volumes of military books is not worth the change of victory or defeat in one day.
The battle situation is changing rapidly, night raids, field battles, offensive and defensive positions, pursuit and pursuit, defeat and defeat, sneak attack and defense, chariot warfare, foot warfare, crossbow warfare, the experience and the war book corroborate each other, which makes Tai Shici full of emotion.
Yan Bei didn't sleep for too long, it wasn't that someone bothered him, but in a dream, someone led Bai Ma Yi to sneak into the city to kill him, and in the face of a strong bow and cold arrows, he suddenly got up and kicked the case, and broke out in a cold sweat on his back.
When I woke up, it was not yet completely dark, and there were two warm steamed cakes and a soup with calm pieces of meat on the table.
It's the horse broth he can remember for a lifetime.
One day and one night, my stomach was empty, and the hunger in my stomach was like cramps, so I immediately grabbed the steamed cake and dipped it in the broth and ate it into my stomach, and drank the soup cleanly. Fang Cai wondered where the horse broth in the camp came from, and remembered that nearly a thousand horses had died on the battlefield, and he thought that he had been blessed in the past few days.
It was now the height of summer, and for three days at most, if the dead horses were not eaten, they would have to be buried in the ground. The mouth is a mouth, but it makes people feel a little unbearable to eat.
Walking out of the military tent, the camp was very quiet, Yan Bei stopped the idea of the subordinates in the training camp saluting him, paced into each military tent in the camp to investigate, looking at those tired and snoring subordinates, like a miser counting the gold bars in the treasury one at a time.
On the west side of the camp, farthest from the Great Horde. Hundreds of linen towels hung on the wooden shelves on the school grounds, and the county medicine practitioner hurried in and out to treat and bandage his subordinates. Too many people had died, and the wounded soldiers with sackcloths on their bodies made the whole camp glow with a faint smell of blood.
Watching a corpse carried by a robe pass in front of him, this should have made Yan Bei sad, but he didn't. He is accustomed to seeing the life and death of others, his subordinates, friends, robes, and enemies, and he no longer has the energy to grieve for others.
He was just remorseful and angry.
This is not the worst battle Yanbei has fought, but it is the worst victory that Yanbei has experienced.
They won, but they were almost defeated countless times in battle. If he loses this battle, he will be glad that he has once again picked up his life, but instead, he won!
If it weren't for carelessness, this could have been a big victory.
Yanbei is not a newcomer to the battle formation, but at this time, he also has a lot of insights in his heart like Tai Shici. He had to plan well before Xian Yuyin came, whether it was the soldiers or the commander, he had to remember this victory that made him feel humiliated from the bottom of his heart, and from now on, he would ...... No more carelessness!
Yan Bei did a lot of things in this evening, pacing to the county office to meet the three elders of the county and the county order, this time he remembered the county prince who was placed in the position of the county order, and now it seems that he is doing well.
He asked for people and asked the Puyin Government Office to recruit people for him.
A recruitment list was erected outside Puyin City, and the sons of the Liang family in Puyin were recruited into the Yanbei Army to fight against the Black Mountain thieves who were in trouble in Jizhou. The three elders of the county and the township took the soldiers in the northern part of Yan to recruit the rangers and evil boys in the township, and opened the prison to recruit prisoners to fill the army...... However, there are not many prisoners in Puyin County's prisons today.
In addition, all kinds of craftsmen willing to go to Liaodong were recruited from all over Puyin, such as blacksmiths, stonemasons, carpenters, and medical craftsmen who served in the army.
And Puyin County in Youzhou engaged in Xian Yu Yin, Xian Yu Fu after the arrival of the arrival will begin to send displaced people to Youzhou Liaodong County, these people who have suffered from the war disaster and lost their fields will get the right to reclaim land in Liaodong, reclaim 100 acres can get 40 acres of land, the first year is exempt from taxes, the second year to collect 30 taxes for the first year, the third year to pay all taxes according to the imperial court to pay taxes to the county government.
As soon as this decree came out, it caused an uproar in the townships of the county, and thousands of people who had lost their land packed their bags with their trust in General Yanbei, and prepared to move to Liaodong with the arrival of the Youzhou army, and start their lives again with their hands.
In addition to the government decrees, Yanbei, together with Lu Yi, Zhang Jaw, and Tai Shici, formulated a set of precautionary orders that could be used in wartime in a few days, aiming to avoid being unprepared in future battles due to war.
The next day, Yanbei ordered the soldiers to distribute the horse meat that could not be eaten for the time being to the people of Puyin, and reaped the indescribable gratitude of the people of Puyin.
On the fourth day of his entry into Puyin City, the scouts reported that there was no garrison of the Montenegrin Army in Wangdu, Tangxian, and Changshan Pass, and they could be sure that the Montenegrin Army had fled south.
On the seventh day, Xian Yuyin led 1,800 county soldiers to charge grain and grass to the east of Puyin City.
