Chapter 363: The Third Stage Mission!
readx;? Chapter 363
After Zhang Gong reported the situation here, this time the carrier pigeon came quickly, and after about two hours, everyone received a reply from the military department. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The situation of the iron-clad horse thieves was unknown to the imperial court, and the number of mountain thieves and horse bandits was as high as six or seven hundred, and even the other side was taken aback.
And the number of dead as high as forty people also made the side silent for a long time.
With eighty people against six or seven hundred bandits and horse bandits, and among them, there are a considerable number of horse bandits and bandits in the True Martial Realm, not to mention a big horse thief like Li Tieyi.
Under normal circumstances, these 80 people are basically going to be wiped out by the whole army, and they will definitely die.
There is no doubt that there is a big problem with the situation on the side of the military department.
However, it was in this situation of intelligence error that Wang Chong and the others only paid the price of forty people, killed nearly 300 people, killed the bandit leaders Li Tieyi and Zhou An, and also defeated the entire iron-clad horse thief.
In this mission, the requirements given by the military department were that the loss of each person should not exceed six people. The number of forty killed is already far beyond this standard.
However, because this number of casualties occurred in the second stage, and because there was a problem with the intelligence of the Ministry of War, and at the same time, the bandit leaders Li Tieyi and Zhou An had also been ambushed, so the conclusion given by the Ministry of War was:
The number of people killed in the second stage will not be investigated, and all those who participated in the operation will be recorded as a basic combat merit, and after Wang Chong and others enter the army in the future, they will enter the category of cumulative promotion of officials.
In addition, the Ministry of War has sent people to collect the corpses of the soldiers who died in the battle as quickly as possible, and everyone will be buried and compensated according to the specifications of the soldiers who died on the battlefield.
"Great!"
Seeing the reply from the imperial court, Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu, and Zhang Gong were all excited.
In this operation, Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu were ambushed by iron-clad horse thieves, killing and injuring more than 20 people, which was a serious violation of the rules of the operation.
Along the way, from yesterday to now, everyone's hearts are hanging.
Now, the court said that it would not be pursued, and the two finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
And the final reward given by the imperial court made it even more difficult for Xu Qian to hold himself.
How many of the children of the family have really made war exploits?
Among the forty-nine gates, at least ninety percent of the children of the family are destined to have no chance of military exploits. Now that the two have not yet entered the battlefield, they have accumulated a piece of military exploits, which is extremely congratulatory.
With this alone, the starting point of the two of them in the future will be much higher than that of the other families in the Jingshi.
Don't underestimate this little bit, it adds up to something amazing.
The simplest example, the most important victory, one is the chief of the army, the other is the chief, the same participated in the battle, and when the battle is over, who do you say has more credit?
A little advantage, the snowball will be bigger and bigger in the future.
This point, in the capital city, there is no one in the family who does not understand.
As for Zhang Gong......
All the brothers who died in battle can be treated and compensated by the regular army on the battlefield, and this is what he is most pleased and happy about.
This is different from Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu.
"That's an explanation!"
When Wang Chong saw this scene, he was also very relieved. Originally, I thought that if the military department did not agree, I would promote this matter through the relationship between King Song and the uncle, but now it seems that it is not necessary.
Although the Tang Dynasty is in decline, it still maintains a clear atmosphere in the army.
"Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu, where are you going to go next?
Wang Chong suddenly spoke at this time, and as he spoke, he took two steps forward.
There was silence on the hill.
In the letter from the Ministry of War, there were two options for everyone.
The first is because the two-stage mission has been completed, and the big horse thief Li Tieyi has been killed. In addition, the loss of the people was too much, so the military department proposed that if everyone wanted, they could return to the capital immediately, and the mission was over.
Second, because the border of the imperial court is now in a severe form, it is temporarily unable to draw troops, so in the border of Longxi, there is a shortage of troops, and it is urgent to replenish troops.
If they wished, they could move on and carry out the third stage of the mission, help the imperial court, and defeat a group of Usi Tibetan troops.
Because it is fighting against the regular army, it has a certain degree of danger, and the level is still above the big horse thief Li Tieyi killed by Wang Chong and others.
The advice given by all the military departments was that, in principle, it was not recommended for four people to participate.
However, if the four of them participate, the reward given by the imperial court is that in the future, the four of them will graduate from the training camp and officially enter the army, and the number of soldiers under their command will increase by one level!
"Wang Chong, what about you, will you return to Jingshi, or will you continue the mission of the third stage?"
Xu Qian didn't say his choice, but asked Wang Chong first.
As soon as Xu Qian's voice fell, Huang Yongtu and Bai Siling all looked at Wang Chong.
Since the incident of the iron-clad horse thief, although everyone did not say it on the surface, but invisibly, everyone has formed a tacit understanding that only the king is looking at the horse.
"Me?"
Feeling everyone's gaze, Wang Chong stretched out a finger to point at himself, smiled, and said without thinking:
"Then it doesn't need to be asked, naturally I will continue to participate in the third phase of the mission. ”
This translation is categorical, and there is a kind of domineering and incomparably powerful self-confidence, which makes people can't help but be convinced.
Although the letter from the Ministry of War has stated that the task of the third stage is still above the second stage, for Wang Chong, it is the easiest.
Eighty against seven hundred!
The third stage is the most difficult, and there will definitely be no such disparity of nearly ten times, and there will be no perverted character like Li Tieyi, who has ironclad skills, is invulnerable, and can turn the tide of the battle with his own strength.
As long as neither of these situations occurs.
It's just a war of military strength, even if the number of Tibetans in Usi is more than his own side, Wang Chong doesn't care very much.
It's just a battle of strategy and tactics, and for Wang Chong, it's too easy.
This is completely different from the perception of the Ministry of War.
Not to mention, the general text of the Ministry of War also clearly mentions a reward that Wang Chong is very interested in:
Once the mission is successful, after the four of them graduate from the training camp in the future, they can skip the command of an order of magnitude more troops.
Not many people know about this reward now, and most of them are quite new. But Wang Chong is all too familiar.
- This is a special reward for the children of the family!
In the future, this special reward will appear in abundance. This is a shortcut for the children of the family to get out of the world and be promoted quickly.
The extra command power, the court will not transfer it to you. It can only be selected by the children of the family from the family themselves.
The purpose of this is to save troops, from the side of the imperial court, without the need to allocate food, military sound, and military merits, and at the same time, to use the ability of the family to absorb those top masters from the family and strengthen the strength of the army.
It's a win-win-win-win thing!
As far as the children of the family are concerned, although they need to dispatch masters themselves to be responsible for the sound of food, the strength of the family is not a problem at all.
On the contrary, after allowing the family to listen to the masters join the army, there is an extra layer of security, and at the same time, all the military exploits established by the family masters are their own.
In this way, the number of official promotions will increase a lot.
This is the soldier who really can't be desired.
-- This is much better than the imperial court taking the initiative to allocate soldiers to themselves!
In the future, this can be said to be a policy that is satisfactory to both the family and the imperial court, and beneficial to both the country and the society. However, it is not easy to obtain this privilege.
In order to compete for the opportunity to increase this command by an order of magnitude, I don't know how many families have broken their heads. This is an opportunity to send in.
No surprises, this is still the first batch!
How could Wang Chong let go of such an opportunity.
"Haha, that's easy. If you participate, then I will also participate. ”
Xu Qian laughed and immediately made a decision.
"Hehe, this kind of good thing, of course, I have to count it as one. ”
Huang Yongtu laughed dryly for a while, and also showed his attitude.
Wang Chong, Xu Qian, and Huang Yongtu turned their eyes, and they all looked at Bai Siling. There is no one who has shown his attitude yet, and only one Bai Siling remains.
"Hmph, of course I'm following you!"
Bai Siling stretched out her hand lightly, elegantly brushed the green silk of her temples, and said without thinking:
"Since following you kid, I have never suffered a loss. These millions of taels of gold, I'm afraid that those uncles in the family will be red-eyed. There is certainly something good about your rush to carry out the tasks of the third stage. This kind of good thing, you don't want to get rid of me, do you?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Chong, his gaze was very unkind.
"How dare I!"
Wang Chong smiled bitterly and spread his hands again and again. Bai Siling's thinking is really simple, rough and direct. However, this really made her right.
No profit, don't get up early!
It's not that I'm full and have nothing to do, of course, it's profitable, so I went to perform the third phase of the task. From this point of view......
A woman's intuition is really terrifying!
"Hehe, don't look at me. We will go wherever you go. We, the soldiers, never have a break until we officially retire. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. Even if you go back, we're going to be transferred there. ”
Seeing everyone looking at their own people, Zhang Gong immediately waved his hand and helped them say it in advance.
In the reply letter given by the imperial court, there was no mention of their choice at all. There is no doubt that this speaks for itself.
When Wang Chong heard this, there was no expression in his eyes. Zhang Gong's answer sounded natural to him. Because I already knew the answer, I didn't ask at all.
Only a trace of unbearable look flashed in Bai Siling's eyes.
shared weal and woe together, and almost died at the hands of the iron-clad horse thief. Bai Siling disliked them the most when they went to danger again. Even if one person is able to leave, it's a good thing.
But Zhang Gong's words have already made the difference.
In this regard, Bai Siling could only sigh deeply in his heart.
The positions will soon be unified!
Wang Chong, Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu, Bai Siling, Zhang Gong, together with nearly forty surviving Tang Dynasty iron horsemen, a group of people hurried on the road and rushed to the border of Longxi.
This time, it's the real war!
