Chapter 274: Chop

Wang Ziming joined the army as a clerk and also served as a military judge.

Wei Zheng joined the army in the recording room, and he was responsible for recording merits, and Wang Ziming joined the army for the record and was responsible for judging crimes.

Having won the battle, everyone is naturally happy.

This military merit must be counted and registered, which involves fairness and justice, and if the merit is not recorded clearly, it is easy to cause resentment. There were deserters, of course, they had to be dealt with, but Luo Cheng still asked Wang Ziming not to make a noise for the time being, and to record his merits first.

The joyful atmosphere of the soldiers must not be ruined.

In the big camp.

A few large tables were set up, and Wei Zheng, who joined the army in the record room, sat in the middle, and on the left and right were his subordinate scribes and soldiers.

What they have to do is to record their military exploits.

The military merits of the Sui army are divided into several parts, including the meritorious service of the soldiers, the inspection of the first rank, the report of the head of the team, the verification of the army, and the inspection of the colonel.

The soldiers began to report their merits according to the battalions and teams to which they belonged, and when they reported their merits, they still carried the enemy's heads one by one, but they were still smiling one by one, greeting each other and even bragging, so the atmosphere was very terrifying.

However, because Luo Cheng has strict military requirements for his subordinates, it is forbidden to behead during battle, and he can only be beheaded after the battle is over, and this thing has to be done under the nose of the team leader and deputy team.

The purpose of this is to prevent wartime decapitation and waste time, delay the fighter, and even avoid comrades competing for the first rank.

After the war, there is also a problem, that is, it is not known who killed it.

However, Luo Cheng is a person who attaches more importance to collective military merits, so it is stipulated that except for the credit for beheading the enemy general and the enemy flag, it should be clearly assigned to the individual, and the rest of the beheading merit is not actually counted by whoever cuts it off.

Luo Cheng is assigned to the head according to the battalion at the time of the battle, according to how much they contribute and how well they do the battle.

One by one, the heads were carried to Wei Zheng, and his subordinates verified that they were not allowed to use the common people as the head of the enemy, not to use friendly troops as the head of the enemy, and not to use the old and weak women and children as the head of the enemy.

For each inspection, a number should be drawn on the face of the head, and then a seal should be stamped, and finally these heads should be taken aside, salted with lime, so that they can be preserved, so that they can be handed in for inspection.

Over there, Wei Zheng and others recorded these in the book one by one.

If it is an officer above the head of the enemy's army, if it can be identified, it must be registered separately and sealed, and these are all military merits.

In addition to the head, the captured enemy flag is also very important, and it must be registered and sealed separately.

At the end of the registration, the total was 1,837 heads, and another 105 prisoners.

Luo Cheng's regiment has 20 teams, each with 100 people. But Luo Cheng also divided the two thousand people into several battalions according to the types of troops.

For example, there are heavy cavalry battalions, light cavalry battalions, scout battalions, bow and crossbow battalions, several infantry battalions, etc., and the number of people is not the same. There are only about 100 people in the heavy cavalry battalion, hundreds in the light cavalry battalion, and even more in the infantry battalion.

When dividing the heads, Luo Cheng was not divided equally according to each battalion.

"The heavy cavalry battalion was beheaded five hundred! The collective five-turn military merit, and the three people including Luo Shixin were awarded the jumping skill once, and the five people including Zhao Desheng were awarded the pioneer merit once. ”

The heavy cavalry battalion has a total of 111 people, including Luo Shixin and ten Yanyun Iron Cavalry Sect Leaders, but when Luo Cheng talked about the merits, he recorded 500 beheading military merits for them, and one person could be divided into almost five heads, not to mention three personal jumping skills and five personal pioneer first-class merits.

No one doubts this achievement.

"Bow and crossbow battalion, behead five hundred levels, collective five military merits, and ten individual second-class merits and twenty third-class merits."

Luo Cheng's words came out.

The five hundred crossbowmen of the crossbow battalion were all smiling, and all of them were grinning behind their ears.

Five hundred heads, that can be divided into one, one person can get one, this is extremely rare, and the reward will naturally not be less at that time.

The heavy cavalry battalion and the bow and crossbow battalion directly divided the 1,000 heads, leaving more than 800 heads and more than 100 captures, but they had to be divided by the remaining 1,400 people.

"Light cavalry battalion, beheading three hundred levels, three vanguard merits, and ten first-class merits."

"Scout battalion, beheading two hundred levels, five pioneer battalions, ten first-class merits."

"Jump the infantry battalion and behead a hundred level ······"

"Ascend the infantry battalion first and behead a hundred level ······"

"Assault infantry battalion, decapitate a hundred paces ·····"

········

More than 1,000 heads and more than 100 prisoners were distributed in this way, and dozens of Goguryeo light cavalry officers and more than a dozen military flags were also credited with the merits of the soldiers.

The two militia groups watched the excitement from the side, and they did not take credit.

Luo Cheng and other officers don't need to give themselves another credit, because he is leading the entire regiment, and all the military merits are under his leadership, so he will naturally have a share after reporting it.

Of course, it was not easy for the people, although Luo Cheng could not give them credit, but the horse meat taken after slaughtering the horses on the battlefield was given to them, so that they could be fed, and even the clothes and shoes on the corpses of Goguryeo were taken by them.

In addition to beheadings and prisoners, many horses were captured, and more than 500 good horses were captured, and many weapons and equipment were captured.

These naturally belong to the first regiment, but according to military regulations, each battalion is still divided into some captured merits, according to the rules, such as capturing a war horse, you can also get a certain reward, so these captured merits can also be rewarded when you look back.

The whole camp was in high spirits.

In the corner of the camp, there were more than a thousand heads, and everyone stayed on the sidelines, very happy, as if the pile was a gift for the New Year.

The people began to bring lime to pickle the head, and the lime was carried with the army. Each time he accompanied the army, he would bring some lime, which was specially designed to pickle the head, and he would also carry a lot of horse skins, which were used to wrap the body. It is wrapped in the corpses of their own soldiers, but it depends on the weather, if the weather is good and there is a city nearby, then most of them will wrap the corpses of the fallen soldiers and transport them back to the city, and then put them in coffins.

But if the weather is bad, the distance is long, or there are too many war dead, only the officers can enjoy the treatment of horse leather shrouds, and ordinary soldiers will either bury them on the spot or burn them to ashes and bring them back.

More than 410 people were killed before and after World War I, and Luo Cheng's battalion was reduced by one-fifth, and twenty percent of the combat attrition was actually very serious, and sometimes it could even directly cause a collapse.

But the good thing is that it was a winning battle.

He ordered the corpses of more than 400 fallen soldiers to be wrapped in horse leather and prepared to send people back to Huaiyuan.

End of the argument.

Luo Cheng had a black face and asked five deserters to come up.

These five are all tied up with five flowers, and I regret it extremely at this time. At that time, they felt that 3,000 Goguryeo light horsemen surrounded them, and they felt that they would definitely die, and then deserted.

What annoyed Luo Cheng the most was that these five people were all on fire, and the battle was divided into two groups, a group of five, and then this group of five people discussed taking the opportunity to escape.

As a result, they were discovered by the guards patrolling the camp and all of them were taken.

Luo Cheng stared coldly at the five guys who were trembling with their legs, these five people were all very young, and according to the interrogation, they were all fellow soldiers from Hejian County, Hebei Province, very young, they were all government soldiers selected by the new military government this year, and they went to the battlefield for the first time, and they were timid for a while, so they became deserters.

"Tell me, why are you a deserter?"

"General, I... I was confused for a while, and I asked the general to spare my life! ”

One person's frightened urine came out, "General, give us another chance, we will definitely atone for our sins and kill the enemy for meritorious service." ”

"I don't dare to run anymore."

These people were embarrassed, terrified, and desperately begged for mercy.

But Luo Cheng just shook his head.

"Yesterday's escape, cowardice and incompetence, abandonment of comrades, such behavior is not tolerated by military law. Push it out, cut it, and pass the whole battalion to be on alert! ”

At the sound of an order, the five deserters were immediately beheaded.

The joyful atmosphere of the whole camp has become solemn.
