Chapter 133: Behind the Victory

The first battle after the reorganization of the Northeast Army was won, but after the war from generals to soldiers,

Not a single one rejoiced.

Even the entire Liaodong City seemed to feel this atmosphere, and the folk craftsmen stationed in the military camp in Beicheng were also cautious one by one. And the Liao people in the prisoner camps in the city felt this oppressive atmosphere of yΔ«n Sen. Many people are speculating that the Sui army may have lost the battle!

An ambush battle, with 50,000 ambushes against more than 20,000 Liao troops who were deceived into the city. Yes, the Liao aristocratic leaders of Anshi, Nose Rock and the nearby mountain cities led the coalition army, under the leadership of Gao Zhen and Gao Yannian, rushed to Liaodong City, as soon as they entered Liaodong City, they were ambushed, the entire Liaodong aristocratic coalition army had 23,000 soldiers and horses, 5,000 cavalry, 18,000 infantry, and nearly 30,000 tribal slaves and fΓΉ widows who came with the army. There are more than 3,000 cattle, nearly 50,000 sheep, and more than 5,000 horses.

The entire ambush lasted only two hours, and the Liao army died in the Sui army's arrows, crossbows, horses,

There were nearly 8,000 infantry and about 3,000 cavalry, including Gao Zhen and Gao Yannian, and 2,000 cavalry and about 10,000 infantry were captured by the Liao army officers and soldiers, including Gao Zhen and Gao Yannian. In addition, about 30% of the slaves who came with the army were killed, and the remaining 20,000 slaves were captured.

In addition, the Northeast Army obtained nearly 5,000 war horses, more than 3,000 cattle, more than 50,000 sheep, and nearly 3,000 pack horses. Warrior leather armor 10,000 collars, more than 3,000 sets of Mingguang iron armor, and thousands of stones of grain.

After the first battle, the soldiers of the first, second, and sixth divisions did not face the main force of the Liao, with less than 100 killed, dozens seriously wounded, and more than 300 lightly wounded. This is still because it is the first battle of the recruits, otherwise the casualty figure would be lower.

However, the officers and men of the Fourth Division were "defeated in only one battle, and the casualty figure was also not high, and the number of casualties was not more than 100.

The real casualties were the heavy infantry brigade, this new army with 5,000 men resisted the elite 7,000 Liao people, fought for two hours, and killed nearly 5,000 enemy troops. Although the soldiers of the heavy infantry brigade had heavy infantry armor with amazing defensive power, because the soldiers were all new recruits, and it was the first battle, the number of dead reached more than 600, and the number of seriously wounded also reached nearly 500, and the rest of the people who were relaxed basically numbered nearly 2,000. It can be said that in the first battle, the combat attrition of the heavy infantry brigade reached 1,000 people, and the battle losses were as high as one-fifth, which was still an ambush war.

In this battle, the elite cavalry of the heavy cavalry brigade only dealt with nearly 2,000 men and horses of Gao Yan, who was in charge of the palace in charge of the Liao people, and used the most elite heavy cavalry of the Great Sui to deal with the shoe Ju elite cavalry in Goguryeo, with 3,000 against 2,000. The Sui army relied on its own armor and cavalry and the elite of the soldiers, and killed 1,500 Liao troops in the first battle. The heavy cavalry brigade had only 20 killed, more than 30 seriously wounded, and 100 lightly wounded. The battle attrition was sixty to one, and the difference in the number of casualties on both sides was even more staggering" The heavy cavalry brigade fully proved their elite status among the elite.

After the entire ambush battle, more than 50,000 Sui Che people participated in the battle, and about 800 people were killed, and nearly 700 people were seriously injured and disabled. Judging from the numerical surface alone, the Northeast Army won a great victory, completely defeating this Liao army, not only killing and wounding most of them, but also successfully capturing the rest of the men and horses.

But on the other hand, as many as 1,500 people were killed and seriously wounded, but it was also a somewhat unbearable loss for the Liaodong Army.

But in any case, today's battle was won by the Sui army, if it weren't for the spectacular mass fight of six or seven thousand people that appeared at the end, and Chen Kefu's extremely severe punishment later, the names of the two elite troops were directly revoked. Maybe tonight's Liaodong City is another happy night, but since there is such a serious result, no one dares to laugh anymore. Even the soldiers of the various units, after returning to the camp, "went to rest in a hurry after eating."

A big mansion in the north of Liaodong City, which was originally the mansion of a rice shop boss, and now the rice shop boss was executed by his family on the night of the destruction of Liaodong City. Now not only is his entire meter walking to the Sui Army, but this mansion has also become the military headquarters of the Sui Army's Northeast Army.

In the conference room of the military headquarters, which was converted into a hall, Chen Kefu was in the main position, looking at the results of the ambush reported by the staff officers of the military headquarters. Fifteen hundred casualties made his head a little bigger.

If he could have 20,000 elite soldiers in this ambush battle, he would be able to control his casualty figure within 200 after defeating the Liao. But now the number of casualties is as high as seven! ,

At tonight's post-war summary meeting of senior generals, the other soldiers have not yet arrived, and only a few generals have come at this time. But today's generals are different from the past, those guys no one came to greet Chen Kefu first, joking, Chen Kefu's behavior at the South City Gate this evening has a very big impact on these senior officers. It turned out that the handsome, who had always been very approachable and easy to talk to, was so ruthless and stern once he initiated it, so that most of these officers were still a little afraid.

Old man Li Benlei glanced at the officers who didn't dare to come over, sat next to Chen Kefu, and hesitated to ......, handsome." Isn't your punishment for the heavy infantry brigade and the heavy cavalry brigade a little too harsh today? Although what they did today was indeed very excessive, it was enough to criticize them harshly, and then pull them out and beat them with a few military sticks and confiscate them with a few months' rations. After all, it's the first time, and it won't be in the future. ”

Chen Kefu dropped the fold in his hand and smiled bitterly at the old man, "Why don't I know this, but you should have also found some bad signs." Now the Northeast Army has taken a big step in reorganization, and the sequelae have also come out. In the past, the officers were all 100 and 200 people, but now when they turn around, they are all 10,000 and 500 people. ”

"In the current situation, there are very few people who can really adapt to this kind of change. Otherwise, just like those grassroots officers, they completely forgot their current junior soldiers, and as soon as they started fighting, they all forgot their current identity as officers, and copied the guys and went up. Courage is bravery, but it does not play the role of an officer at all. Now tens of thousands of troops, basically all of them are recruits, and they are counting on them to be the backbone of the army and support the army. But now that they're like that, can they count on it? ”

"The other group of people is the other extreme. For example, Guo Xiaoke and Zhang He, they turned out to be just team leaders and team leaders, and they were all promoted in a row throughout the year, and they have all suddenly become generals with 10,000 or thousands of people. The soldiers brought more and more, and the people became conceited and arrogant. Just like today, in front of the three armies, the two armies actually fought with their own people and their own people on the battlefield, and it was still a large group of thousands of people.

There are two people, one is Guo Xiaoke, who was transferred by my former personal guards, although he is still the regiment commander in terms of performance, but the 3,000 men and horses of the heavy cavalry brigade are not all handed over to him to manage. ”

"On the other side, Li Shimin and Li Xuanba are no one else, they are my brother-in-law Chen Kefu." Although until now, I still feel inexplicable about the personal order with Miss Li Jiasan. But who doesn't know that they are my brother-in-law, one side is my personal guard, and the other side is my brother-in-law, and the palm and back of the hand are meat. But today's events, the officers and men of the three armies are watching,

If I can't punish him severely, then in the future, how can I, Chen Kefu, ask others? The soldiers will say, "The people around you can't manage us well, and you still take care of us." ”

Chen Kefu sighed, leaning against the wall behind him, a little indescribably depressed. All the soldiers are immersed in the joy of being present again and again, only he Chen Kefu is always so worried. The strength of the Liaodong Army and the Goguryeo Army is completely disproportionate, and he is just constantly making moves, hoping to balance the strength of the two sides in Liaodong as much as possible before the decisive battle.

"This time my punishment is indeed a bit heavier, but I also hope to take this opportunity to remind all the soldiers. Don't just look at the victories in front of us and think that we can really sit back and relax and be invincible. The difference between the real strength of ours and the Liao people is still too great. Now we are walking on thin ice, before each step, we have to go through thousands of times of thinking, if one wrong step, then waiting for us may be thousands of ice caves, broken bones. ”

"Moreover, I have always thought that Li Shimin and Guo Xiaoke, two boys, are worthy of cultivation. Sometimes it's not a good thing for them to be too smooth sailing, and I think that after this incident, they will be able to get rid of those frizz on their bodies, and be more calm and thoughtful, so that they will become a great general. Shame and courage are for the real warriors. And all true warriors always have to go through a lot of tempering first, which is a hurdle that must be passed. Only by daring to face all kinds of bleak experiences can we truly create a successful person. If they can't overcome the little obstacle I give them now, then I won't feel any pity for such a person, even if the sky really fails. ”

Li Benlei was silent for a while, as if he was thinking carefully about Chen Kefu's words, and then said, "It turns out that Dashuai's actions have such significance, it seems that my previous worries were a little too much." It's okay to do this, first, to give the three armies a wake-up call, and second, to sharpen Li Shimin and Guo Xiaoke. After all, the heavy cavalry brigade and the heavy infantry brigade are troops built by many people, and it is impossible for us to always serve as the commander-in-chief, if they can really pass the consideration this time, then we can rest assured that the two sharp blades of the Liaodong Army will be in their hands in the future. ”

PS: I see that there are still friends talking about this new compilation, let me explain, maybe I didn't think about it very well at the beginning, but as I said earlier, this is a temporary transition xìng compilation, and the current Chen Kefu's career is just the beginning, hehe. Ask for a ticket!
