Chapter 0052 - Asking for a Horse
Tang Qi would rather fall into danger himself, and persist in fighting until he is completely unable to recover the defeat.
This is simply a gamble with life as a gamble, making a gamble with a low probability of winning.
Why is Tang Qi so eager for victory?
Tang Hu will say: Aren't you talking nonsense, who doesn't want to win? If you win, you can be promoted, get rich, and marry a beautiful little daughter-in-law.
Tang Hu's words were correct, but they completely wiped out the cruelty of war.
For example, in this battle, if Tang Qi withdrew under the persuasion of that veteran, almost all of her infantry would be killed by the enemy. And after the enemy wins, it can save a large number of wounded male soldiers.
In battle, especially in the chaos, many soldiers fell to the ground, but they did not die.
As long as the treatment is timely, many people can survive.
As soon as the battle is over, if the casualty rate of both sides is 50 percent, the winning side will have a much lower mortality rate after rescuing the wounded. On the losing side, the situation is very serious, not only the wounded soldiers cannot be saved, the deserters will also be killed in large numbers, and a large number of people will leave the army and flee to nowhere.
Of the more than 3,000 people under Tang Qi, there were only more than 1,000 people left after being beaten, but after treatment, more than 700 people survived, of which 200 were seriously injured, some of them were able to survive through treatment, some were disabled, and some died after ineffective treatment.
Many of the slightly injured were able to crawl out of the pile of dead people and rejoin the team.
After such a vicious battle, many recruits have begun to mature. There are also some capable people who have appeared.
Tang Qi will not miss this opportunity to select generals. According to the merits of the war, a group of people were promoted, from the big captain to the small commander, and she personally inquired about them.
"Tang Yuan, don't worry, don't complain." Tang Qi walked to the chair with his hands behind his back.
"The last general is not worried, nor is he complaining!" Tang Yuan stood straight.
Tang Qi doesn't seem to have the idea of keeping a woman dressed as a man anymore, and through this vicious battle, she has proven herself. I don't deliberately speak with a rough voice, and now I sound more like a woman. However, she doesn't need to take the initiative to talk about her identity to outsiders, and she still looks like a tomboy with many actions on her body, and even Hu Orchid can't compare to her.
Sitting in the county magistrate's hall, he supported the table with both hands, and said with a smile: "Although I have taken your military power, I will promote your military rank." From now on, you are a 2nd Lieutenant. ”
"General Xie Tang promoted!"
"In addition, I found that you are a good person to let out, not to stay around." Tang Qi turned his head and looked at the map: "Since you have already gone around the south of Cangzhou, it is better for you to return to your old business and go around again." This time, you go to the depths of Cangzhou. ”
“……”
Tang Yuan's eyes froze, and the scene of being chased and killed by the male Jia Tieqi appeared in his mind, and that feeling was really not very pleasant.
"Why, don't you dare to go?" Tang Qi smiled defiantly.
"That's not what the last will mean." Tang Yuan scratched his head.
Tang Qi tilted his head, stared at him, and did not speak.
Tang Yuan smiled: "This time we won the battle, we captured a lot of war horses." After speaking, his gaze shifted and his body shook uncomfortably.
It's a little embarrassing.
But he still said what he had to say, he was asking Tang Qi for a horse.
The smile on Tang Qi's face deepened, and he pointed at Tang Yuan and said, "I guess you just want to get something from me and go, okay, for the sake of your meritorious service, let you have two hundred horses and two hundred sets of armor." But you have to modify these armors to save your own people from misunderstanding. ”
"I understand this."
"Okay, let Wang Dong take you to choose a horse."
Wang Dong is the nephew of Wang Caotian, the lieutenant general of the First Division of the Third Army of Shence. Down's door valve relation.
The ability is average, but he is still very yearning for military life, hoping that through this Northern Expedition, he will establish some meritorious service, and then be promoted through the relationship of his uncle.
In this battle, he behaved decently and did not have any outstanding performance, but at the critical moment, he did not run away.
During the battle, some timid soldiers escaped, in fact, this is also a normal situation, every time the battle, the generals have a good idea in their hearts, there will be some people who run away in fear of the battle, but it is just a matter of many people and few people. If there are a lot of people who flee during the battle, it can also show the incompetence of the generals.
Now he has been promoted to captain by Tang Qi. But this captain was still very polite to Tang Yuan, and said in private: I envy you very much, if you make such a big move, if it were me, it would definitely be inferior to you.
Tang Yuan hummed and said that he was completely lucky, Yunyun.
When he came to the school grounds, Tang Yuan became unkind, selected two hundred strong soldiers, and a group of people broke into the stables and took away the best horses. He even ran to Tang Qi's horse to take a look, but was "persuaded" by Wang Dong without hesitation.
Tang Qi's horse is really beautiful, tall and big, fat and strong, full of energy, and has the appearance of a dragon.
"The general's horse was given to her by the seventh son of the Tang family, the bloodline of the Western Regions Khan Blood Horse and the Persian Horse, our level is not enough, so we don't think about it." Wang Dong raised his eyebrows, with a proud expression.
Tang Yuan blinked, he couldn't understand what Wang Dong had to be honorable.
Before leaving, Tang Yuan didn't forget to run to Tang Qi to commend his brothers who had followed him all the way, including Chen Bao, Tang Hu, Liu Zhan, Zhang Jing, Fu Ying, and finally praised Nalan Xin, making Nalan Xin shake his head happily.
Later, he talked about Zhang Nu, the prison army, Tang Yuan said, the two of us have a very good temper, and General Zhang has helped me a lot, Yunyun.
Finally, he mentioned that when crossing the river, a centurion of the militia surnamed Li said: Lao Li sacrificed, and hoped that the general would make a credit for him, and remember to apply for a pension for his children when the war is over in the future.
Tang Qi nodded, and ordered the signator to write it down in the memo.
The battle was fought so badly that the troops had to be repaired before they could set off again. And there are two thousand strong men in it, Tang Qi plans to hurry up and train it.
At this time, Tang Yuan led two hundred cavalry and had already rushed towards Yangxin. As for the situation on Dian Han's side, until he left, the two scouts, Zhao Feixiao and Li Feiyu, did not come back.
The cavalry was very fast, and in half a day, they came to Yangxin City.
The soldiers at the head of the city were a little panicked when they saw that all the cavalry was coming, and it was not until Tang Yuan approached that they saw the people who were coming, and happily opened the city gate to welcome Tang Duwei into the city.
Zhang Nu is training new recruits and demolishing houses to build crossbows.
"I said, General Zhang, what are you doing here? How did you tear down all the people's houses? "Tang Yuan came to the county office.
Zhang Nu smiled and said: "I'm not demolishing anyone's house, it's all the houses of some traitors, I need wood now, make weapons, and more importantly, iron." Without iron, the lethality of bamboo and wood is too weak. ”
Tang Yuan still knows Zhang Nu, although the old general is sometimes hard-hearted, he is not a bad person, he has a scale in his heart, and he will not spoil the people.
Then they talked about what happened under the city of Dizhou, and Zhang Nu listened very excitedly, and kept knocking on the table when he heard the joy.
"I heard that Wuyan Zha is also a six-rank general, and he was killed by you with an arrow?"
"Yes."
"Then you're not bad, at least you're also a six-rank shooter." Zhang Nu smiled approvingly.
Tang Yuan stared at Zhang Nu, and suddenly his face tightened, "It's only six grades?" ”
Zhang Nu suddenly stopped laughing, "What's the matter, is the sixth grade very poor?" ”
