Chapter 578: Capture Dingxiang

Facts have proved that the education in military schools is still very successful. Despite the young age of these cadets, even though they were experiencing this kind of brutal battlefield for the first time. However, these trainees are still resolute and unchanging, able to face up to the cruelty of the battlefield, adjust their mentality and continue to devote themselves to combat missions.

This sudden battle has made the reputation of the cadets, and the veterans who looked down on them before, now when it comes to the cadets of the military academy, they also know that they have given a thumbs up and praised them. Wei Chi Gong was even more excited, and privately threatened to throw Yu Chi Baolin into the military academy to practice well.

When they go into battle, they naturally have to remember their merits, and the cadets of the military academy win more with less, and their own losses are very small, which is even more impressive.

Two people died, which is almost an incredible thing on the battlefield. But Xia Hongsheng was still uneasy. Not to mention, more than 50 people have become disabled.

"Master Yuanzheng, you said that we have become like this, what should we do in the future? We...... We can't go to war again! On the hospital bed, a student said to Xia Hongsheng.

Xia Hongsheng turned his head to look at him, his leg was amputated below the knee.

"Master Yuanzheng, I still have an arm that can still wield a lance, can you please not fire me?" The other begged.

Xia Hongsheng turned his head again, and one of his arms was completely missing from his shoulder, which was cut off on the spot during the charge the day before yesterday.

Of the more than 50 people in the tent, not a single one was still intact!

"Who told you that you were going to be fired if you were injured?" Xia Hongsheng forced a laugh and said, "As soon as I heard it, I knew that you didn't memorize the school rules well!" Which of the school rules stipulates that if you go to the battlefield and kill the enemy to the death and cause injury, you will be expelled from the military school? ”

Seeing that the eyes of those students lit up, Xia Hongsheng was twisted in his heart, and pretended to smile easily: "There are a lot of things taught in the military academy!" Although you can't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future, you can continue to learn other things! Let's say learn about intelligence. If you come out to be a spy in the future, won't you also contribute to Datang? Look at how useful the spies have been this time, if it weren't for them, where would we have been able to obtain information about the Turks? Or why don't you go and bring new students in the future? You've been studying for a few years, so you're good enough to be a counselor for new students, right? You are battle heroes, wait until the class teacher returns to the court. It is to receive the commendation and reward from His Majesty, and His Majesty will personally issue the medal! You're worried about getting expelled? You will never be expelled for the rest of your life! Don't worry about anything, it's good to recuperate and recuperate, and then wait for our Datang army to wipe out the Turks, and when you go back, Your Majesty will personally bring you medals! I promise! ”

"Really?!" The short-legged student was immediately excited to sit up.

"How did Lord Yuanzheng ever lie to us!" Another student also sat up straight with excitement: "It must be true!" ”

"Your Majesty personally gave us medals?!" Another student's eyes were full of energy, and he was no longer dead: "These two feet are worth it!" Right! We can also go and take new students! No, I'm going to learn intelligence, and I'm going to come out to collect intelligence for our army when the time comes! ”

Xia Hongsheng listened to their words and saw their hope rekindled. But I felt a burst of soreness in my nose.

Be sure to let Li Lao Er personally wear military medals for them!

Xia Hongsheng gritted his teeth, remembering that the sample of the box of military merit medals he made at the beginning had been lying quietly in the box in the study for two years.

At the beginning, there was no opportunity, for no reason, Li Shimin did not let go of his consent, and kept it there. Now is the time to destroy the Turks, we must let him agree!

couldn't stay any longer, Xia Hongsheng was afraid that he would not be able to control it. Explained their relaxation. After a good life and recuperation, he left there by himself.

Su Dingfang led a thousand men and horses back to meet them. At this moment, those Turkic prisoners of war are being escorted to Dingxiang.

Dingxiang had been broken by Li Jing, and Wei Chigong led the main force to chase after him for a while, then turned back and arrived at Dingxiang, and joined Li Jing in one place.

Slowing down with the captives, Xia Hongsheng finally arrived at Dingxiang County after a three-day march after an encounter with the Turkic cavalry.

I met with Li Jing. Li Jing had already learned that the cadets had encountered a group of deserters from the Turks and had fought a war. also knew the result, so after Xia Hongsheng converged, he praised Xia Hongsheng and the cadet army of the military academy, and immediately wrote it into the military report for his meritorious work in protecting grain and grass. The carrier pigeons trained by the spy battalion were carried back to Chang'an.

Xia Hongsheng also knew how Li Jing captured Dingxiang.

It turned out that Li Jing led 3,000 elite cavalry that day, braving the cold and cold, after setting off from Mayi, he marched into the Evil Yang Ridge, but did not rest, but directly attacked Dingxiang at night. Jieli and the Turkic generals never expected that the Tang army would be so sudden in this weather, and they were awakened from a deep sleep, and the soldiers and generals looked at each other, all of them were shocked. Jieli even said, "If the soldiers don't come to the country, Jing dares to mention that the lone army is here?" ", I think that Li Jing dares to go deep alone, and there must be a main force to follow.

Jieli and his generals judged that if the Tang soldiers had not come from all over the country, Li Jing would never have dared to take only 3,000 men and horses, and braved the severe cold, wind and snow to go deep into this place alone, so he was "surprised a few times a day".

At this time, those Tang spies in Dingxiang County were not idle, and according to Xia Hongsheng's instructions, they divided Kang Sumi, a close confidant around Jieli. Kang Sumi is the object of discord that the Datang spies have long selected. He is greedy for money and lustful, but he is as timid as a mouse, flattering, and extremely satisfied in front of Jieli, who coaxes Jieli to regard him as a confidant. Those spies had already started their operations, and at this time, the Tang army was pressing, and those spy officers threatened and tempted, so Kang Sumi betrayed Jieli and surrendered to Li Jing.

At the same time, Li Jing learned about the judgment of Jieli and those Turkic generals through the intelligence of the spies, so he ordered the 3,000 elite cavalry to chase while shouting that the army was coming, pretending to be the illusion that the 300,000 main forces of the Tang Dynasty were pouring into the nest, and the frightened Jieli abandoned the city and fled. Li Jing took advantage of this opportunity to quickly attack Dingxiang, attacked the city in one fell swoop, and captured Yang Zhengdao, the son of Yang Xuan, the king of Sui Qi, and Empress Xiao, the former Yang Emperor, while Jieli Khan fled to the mouth in a hurry.

In this way, Datang opened victoriously and occupied Dingxiang in one fell swoop.

Jieli lost the opportunity, was defeated before the battle, and the soldiers were in turmoil, and there was nothing to fear after that.

On the way he escaped, there were already other famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, who were sharpening their knives and waiting for him. (To be continued.) )
