Chapter 463: Left Qin Qiong bites gold right
Wei Zheng lay on the couch, raised the paper scroll in his hand, and said proudly, "Dashuai, no matter how many ways he comes, I only go all the way, the effect is really amazing." In this battle, the crossing road bypassed Beisha City, and chose to send reinforcements under Jian'an City, a place that is still 200 miles away from Beisha, and was taken by surprise and attacked unprepared. ”
"Especially this half-crossing attack, it can be said to be the finishing touch, if it is a general head-on battle, with 35,000 men and horses of our left Fifth Army against 20,000 reinforcements in An'an City, I am afraid that I will kill 3,000 enemies, and I will have to lose 800 myself. But our battle ended in only one day, and the casualties were even smaller, guess how many casualties there were? ”
After a big battle, Luo Cheng estimated that he would have to suffer one or two thousand casualties, which is still a little guess. After all, in this kind of large army battle, countless people fall in minutes.
"Less than eight hundred."
Wei Zheng shook the scroll, "Less than 800, this battle array has more than 3,000 levels, captured more than 16,000 enemies, and captured more than 5,000 people. ”
Counting up, in this battle, 3,000 enemies were killed, 18,000 enemies were captured, and more than 13,000 people were captured, not to mention countless horses, cattle and sheep and other livestock.
Less than 10% of the battle losses should be just over 2 percent to be exact.
The Great Army fights, which battle must not be broken by 1,800? The annihilation of the army of 20,000 people was only 800, and no one believed it.
Not to mention, it just managed to get a city.
"Eight hundred brothers will be lost in one battle, hey." Luo Cheng sighed, although this was a big victory, after all, he also killed eight hundred brothers.
"Pack up, take inventory, and get ready to leave."
"Jian'an City has to be guarded, right?" Wei Zheng asked.
This Jian'an is not small. In particular, the location is very good, a little west of Wafangdian City in later generations, which is a key point at the southern end of Liaoning, and it is the coastal traffic artery on the west coast of the Liaodong Peninsula.
"It's a pity to give up like this, if you don't leave an army to garrison Jian'an City, and then leave some ships and soldiers and horses to garrison Changxing Island at the mouth of the Tiger River, so that the two armies can support each other."
Changxing Island was very large and on the sea, which was a difficult place for the Goguryeo people who lacked naval divisions, and the Sui army could use only a small number of troops and horses to form a containment and threat to the Goguryeo people on the shore.
"Who stays?" Wei Zheng asked.
Jian'an City has to stay, but it is estimated that no one is willing to stay, after all, the two expeditions have just begun, and they are staying here now, which means that it is estimated that there will be nothing for them to do next.
"Why don't you ask Song Ya to take on this big task in the future?"
Wei Zheng smiled, "You can't always bully honest people, last time Daxingcheng was left behind." ”
"I'll ask him."
Song Laosheng is older, senior, and experienced, so it is more appropriate to stay behind.
Luo Cheng personally went to ask Song Laosheng, but the general had no objection to staying behind, "All the generals are thinking about making meritorious contributions to wars, I'm old anyway, so let this opportunity for meritorious service be given to young people, I'll stay behind." ”
"Then thank you Admiral, but you are the deputy general of our five armies, no matter how great the five armies of our five armies are, you have a share."
Song Laosheng led 2,500 people to stay in Jian'an City, 2,000 foot soldiers, and 500 light horsemen. The two thousand five hundred people, divided into 500 infantry, 300 cavalry stationed on Changxing Island, Luo Cheng also left a dozen boats and 500 Jianghuai sailors for them.
After arranging these, Luo Cheng held a military meeting in the fort.
Officers at the rank of lieutenant and above are all participating.
Luo Cheng announced the results and injuries of this battle, and announced Song Laosheng's decision to stay behind.
"This time, the armies are brave and outstanding."
"Now the special lieutenant Qin Qiong is the general of the first regiment of Bai Ma Yi, and the captain of the Jin school, Cheng Yanjin, is the general of the second regiment of Bai Ma Yi."
"Jin Captain Shan Xiongxin is a cavalry general, Jin Captain Xu Shiji is a cavalry general, Jin Zhai Rang and Huang Junhan are cavalry generals·······"
The Fifth Left Army had a total of 35,000 men this time, but Luo Cheng had 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, and only 5,000 baggage stragglers and chariot soldiers.
This configuration can be said to be unique, which is equivalent to taking away a lot of the cavalry establishment of the Fourth Army and the Sixth Army, weakening the Fourth and Sixth Armies and fattening the Fifth Army, and using the public for personal gain, but they didn't dare to have any objections to Lai Hu'er, who made the Left Fifth Army so able to fight, or Luo Cheng's descendant.
Among the 10,000 cavalry, 2,000 heavy cavalry were led by Luo Shixin.
Eight thousand light cavalry, led by Zhao Gui, Luo Siye, Qi Guoyuan, and Murong Changsheng, all four of them were awarded the title of commander, each commanding two thousand, and each of them commanded two regiments of two thousand light cavalry.
There are a total of eight light cavalry regiments, and this time Luo Cheng also promoted Qin Qiong and other brothers with outstanding performance.
When it comes to the ability to ride and shoot immediately, Qin Qiong Shan Xiong believes that they are indeed stronger than their old brother Du Fuwei and Luo Cunxiao, so this time Luo Cheng still let Cunxiao Du Fuwei and them lead the infantry, and put Qin Qiong and them into the cavalry.
He even deliberately let Qin Qiong and Cheng Yanjin serve as the partial generals of the two light cavalry regiments under Bai Ma Yi.
"Do you have any objections to this?"
After announcing the appointment of a large number of commanders, generals, partial generals, and captains, Luo Cheng asked.
Although Qin Qiong's promotion was very fast, no one spoke up.
For example, the elders of Heiye Cunxiao, they are all commanders who have reached the top, even Du Fuwei Fu Gongyi has also been promoted to general this time, Li Ruqi, Jia Runfu and others are also generals, and they have no objections.
As for the younger generation such as Guo Xiaoke and Kan Leng, of course, there is no reason to oppose them. Everyone's ability is obvious to all, and Luo Cheng has always been eclectic and talent-based.
That's why they're in this position today.
"Very well, since there is no objection, then it is passed."
Qin Qiong and the others found Luo Cheng before the meeting, feeling that they would rise so quickly as soon as they came, for fear that the impact would not be good, but in the end, Luo Cheng smiled and told them about the tradition of the Left Fifth Army, and also said that the sixteen-year-old Shixin is now the commander, and the sixteen-year-old Du Fuwei is already the general, and they were all persuaded in the end.
"The prisoners of the reinforcements of Anshi City, as well as the people of Jian'an City, were all taken to Changxing Island first. The prisoners of war were transported back to the Donglai camp in batches, and the people transported the young and strong among them to Lushun to build the city, and the rest of the women and children were transported back to Donglai. ”
"What to do with these people?" Changshi Hou Mo Chen asked.
Before the Eastern Crusade, Luo Cheng's treatment of Goguryeo prisoners and people was very simple, and if he was caught, he was a slave.
Now the city of Kien'an is Kaesong surrendered, which is different.
"Escort back to Donglai first, go to the shipyard and armory workshop to help build ships and ordnance, and go to Juntun to help cultivate the fields, as for how to deal with it in the end, this has to be decided by His Majesty the Emperor, before that, they are still our prisoners."
