Section 204 Li Jinxing's politeness
Feng Xiaobao really didn't dare to compliment others attacking the city, or we rode and shot elegantly, so we didn't have to be so bloody and dirty at close range. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
First, the rain of arrows washed away, and then the catapult started, huge stones roared and smashed into the stone gate wall, and from time to time fireballs were fired to burn a raging fire on the city.
The scene is spectacular, but there is no real posture, the stones of the catapult can smash the city wall to a thousand holes, but it can't smash this city wall that is not carefully built... When you encounter a strong city, don't even think about it.
The Tang soldiers under the city wall rushed in, climbing the ladder like ants and monkeys.
Then the stone and wood cannon bottles on the city poured in with gray and gold juice, sweeping away a large area of the Tang army, and sweeping down the "ants" on the wall like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves.
Naturally, the situation of those "ants" who were swept down was miserable!
It is no wonder that the side that wins the city in a bloody battle will often slaughter the city, without it, it is difficult to calm the fire in the hearts of the soldiers without slaughtering the city.
According to the veterans, the death and casualty rate of the Tang Army has dropped by more than 30 percent, which is a remarkable figure.
before
After besieging Shimen for half a month, after paying a lot of blood, the Tang army broke through Shimen and slaughtered the Goguryeo people in the city and the adult males of the chaotic ethnic group, and the few remaining women and children were all sold into slavery.
Don't think that the Datang army doesn't do this kind of thing... In fact, there were not a few failed Tang troops who became slaves, which provoked the Tang army to retaliate.
Fortunately, 2,000 Silla captives were spared because the Tang army wanted to exchange prisoners with the Sillas.
……
"Sit, sit down!" In the camp tent, the general Li Jinxing greeted him, as the commander, the general, and the senior, he used the word "please" and had a very affectionate attitude.
"General Xie gave me a seat!" Feng Xiaobao said politely.
The generals are so polite to me, Feng Xiaobao is flattered.
This should be Li Jinxing's reception place, Li Jinxing invited Feng Xiaobao to sit down, and his own clever sergeant brought tea.
Feng Xiaobao's heart jumped, this tea is brewed by the roasted tea method, not the boiling tea method.
In the Tang Dynasty, people often boiled tea directly, and what was boiled was not tea but medicine.
The rule of roasted tea was proposed by Feng Xiaobao (he didn't practice it much) to teach his close friends how to do it, and he didn't make any profit from it (maybe some friends made money).
It's not widely circulated, it's strange, why would the general also use this method?
As if seeing his doubts, Li Jinxing smiled and said: "Two Taoist priests came to visit before and gave me a few catties of such tea, I heard that you started it, so I will use these tea leaves to entertain you." (The "I" here is actually "so-and-so", claiming to be me/so-and-so even if it is a high-ranking official, Guo Ziyi, the captain of the Tang Dynasty, claims to be so-and-so to the home decoration workers, and the decoration workers also say that so-and-so, the Tang Dynasty is far more civilized than many dynasties)
Taoist?!
It won't be Xuanqing, Xuanqing also uses the tea leaves of the roasted tea method in the view, but Xuanqing has been staying in Luoyang, and he has only been out once, that is to see Zuo Xiang Jiang Ke, and ask him to send troops to help Feng Xiaobao.
The Taoist priests in the world, the Taoist friends who seem to be Xuanqing are also using the tea leaves made by the roasted tea method to make tea, and they actually went to Goguryeo?
Xuanqing, I owe you a sum again!
Li Jinxing didn't say much about the sergeant, and after sitting down with Feng Xiaobao, he talked about the war, and he had only one thing for Feng Xiaobao: full of praise!
"Our army broke the combined forces of Silla and Goguryeo, beheaded 25,000 of the rebels of Goguryeo, and the Silla people were killed 8,000 and captured 2,000, which can be described as a great victory!"
Rao is a general who has seen many worlds, and he is also happy!
The rebellion in Goguryeo was coming to an end, and the Tang army killed the rebels when they saw them, and after killing all the people, naturally there was no rebellion.
The Silla people went into battle naked, but in the battle of Shimen, 10,000 elite soldiers were exhausted, and very few escaped, how many people were there in Silla at that time? The loss of tens of thousands of elite soldiers has caused serious blood loss in the country, and the country's politics are unstable!
Moreover, the Silla people lost not only soldiers, but also generals, and the losses of generals and commanders were even greater!
According to the statistics of this battle, the battle of Seokmun caused heavy losses to the Silla generals, and the Silla generals Dae Asai Xiaochuan, Asai Noshin, Ilgi Ani Nahan, Sasai Yoshi, Shan Seon, Doseon, and Yangchen were killed in the battle.
Among the Silla generals who were killed, the highest-ranking was Da Ah Meal, followed by Ah Meal, Ilji Meal, and Sha Meal. The status of these generals in the Silla army was the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth respectively in the Da Ah Meal, Ah Meal, Ilji Meal, and Sha Meal. However, it is extremely difficult for ordinary officials to hold the fourth rank in front of Da Ah Din, so Da Ah Meal is already a very high official position. Its functions are similar to those of the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, and the highest governor of the Silla deacon province can be held by the Great Ah Restaurant, and the Silla Military Department Order, which is similar to the Tang Dynasty Military Department Shangshu, can also be held by the Great Ah Meal. The lowest of the above-mentioned fourth-class official positions can generally be the highest governor at the level of Silla County.
Therefore, the seven killed by the Tang army were all high-ranking officials of Silla. It can be seen that the loss of the Battle of Seomon for Silla was very huge.
The training of generals is much more difficult than that of small soldiers, and small soldiers can come in handy after three months of training, while the road of generals is often tortuous, and a lot of blood is often shed before rising to a high position: his, his brothers', his enemies', extremely difficult, bloody and unspeakable, it can be said that it is difficult to produce a thousand soldiers.
No wonder Li Jinxing was polite to Feng Xiaobao, Da A Fan Xiaochuan and A Fan Nengshen were all shot to death by Feng Xiaobao, Yiji Meal An Nahan was killed by Feng Xiaobao's brother Cheng Boxi, and Sha Fan Shanshi was killed by Feng Xiaobao's other brother Yang Chengxian, seven enemy generals, and the three brothers did more than half of it, laying the foundation for the victory of the Tang Army and making great contributions!
The Silla army was embarrassed and had to build the Great Wall in Hansan Prefecture to defend it, not wanting to forge ahead, but only seeking self-preservation.
For a while, the situation of the Tang Army was very good, and for such subordinates who added glory to themselves, and did not threaten their status, they did not favor him.
Others, Gao Hongtu sent troops to help the war, and Sima Cao Wenxuan in the army went to the Zhichong Mansion Barracks in Songyang County in the name of **** to ask for warmth and solve the previous small grievances, and many military leaders visited the Zhichong Mansion Barracks in Songyang County, Feng Xiaobao became a hot general star.
……
"Songyang County Zhechong Mansion has made this great contribution, according to your merits, I have discussed with General Gao, and Cheng Boxi and Yang Cheng have been promoted from the "Imperial Lieutenant" of the "Eight Pinxia" to the "Xuanjie Captain" of the "Zhengbapinxia", and they have all been promoted to three levels (Wu San), and they are all Guoyi Du Lieutenants of Shangfu (the official is from the Wupin)
"As for Xiaobao, you", Li Jinxing called Feng Xiaobao's name and said: "You take the civil official to dismiss the 'Cheng Lang', we don't care about this, what we report to the imperial court is to give you the promotion of 'Yilu Deputy Lieutenant', from the seventh grade!" For the commander of the upper house, from the fourth grade! Congratulations to Xiaobao! ”
With a burst of excitement, Feng Xiaobao took a breath of cool air!
Less than twenty years old, the seventh-rank martial arts officer, the ministry officer became the fourth-grade member, Feng Xiaobao's promotion is fast, it can be called an outlier!
Sure enough, military feats are all rising fast, swishing upwards.
Feng Xiaobao repeatedly thanked the two generals for their strong support, especially Li Jinxing, if he hadn't put Songyang County's Zhichong Mansion at the forefront, they would not have had a chance to step forward and fight alone, and Feng Xiaobao would not have been able to justifiably run to the rear of the attacking troops and shoot the big Ah Fan Xiaochuan!
After all, the military discipline is Sensen, you can't run around casually, you can't walk around!
If you are given to run around, it will not be a mess? But if you can't step forward, you won't have a chance to make meritorious contributions.
Lo and behold, the position of a unit in a big war, which seems to be insignificant, determines the chances of success.
……
Everyone drank tea, and Li Jinxing suddenly asked: "I don't know if Xiaobao has any opinions on the future war?" (To be continued.) )
