Chapter 118: The Book of War
Dong Ping beheaded Wuyan and defeated the vanguard of the Liao army.
More than 4,000 people were killed, more than 3,000 people were captured, and more than 1,000 horses were captured, which was definitely a great victory according to the Song army's record.
You can definitely get promoted and make a fortune with this record!
But in Shi Jin's view, this was a tragic victory, and the total number of dead and disabled in Dong Pingjun's battle was nearly 2,400 people. Basically, this Dong Pingjun can be said to be disabled, so he can only go back to replenish the soldiers and horses and retrain into an army.
In addition to the death of veterans, it will take some time for the additional recruits to form combat effectiveness, and the pension for these soldiers who died in battle is also heart-wrenching.
In order to allow soldiers to fight with peace of mind, the Dingxiang army is very different from other armies, that is, pensions.
Whether it is a person who died in battle, or is disabled, and cannot continue to participate in the battle, Shi Jin will give him generous treatment.
After the soldier dies, his family can get a one-time monthly payment for the soldier for the next two years, so that the family can arrange a decent funeral without worrying about money for the time being.
At the same time, there will also be preferential policies for family members and children in the future imperial examinations.
Of course, the most important thing is that five acres of good land can be allocated, which is the most practical and attractive place for soldiers.
The money may be easily used up, but if you get a good land, this is what you will eat for a lifetime.
After seeing that the families of the fallen soldiers were really allocated five acres of good land, the soldiers of the Dingxiang Army fought more tenaciously than before.
I'd rather die in battle than be a deserter.
It's because they know that they have become deserters. Not only will they face military justice, but they will have nothing left!
It is precisely because of this that even if the soldiers of Dong Pingjun are caught in a bitter battle, they still fight to the death.
That's when we had a chance to win in the back.
It is no wonder that Shi Jin was heartbroken when he saw such heavy casualties.
Shi Jin wanted to strangle Dong Ping, a bastard.
Damn, is there anyone like you who fights wars?
There was no strategy or scheme, and he directly rushed up with 5,000 soldiers and horses to fight a tough battle with more than 20,000 Liao troops, which was simply to increase his merits with the lives of his subordinates.
If you do it like you, how many soldiers and horses can Lao Tzu have for you to consume like this.
Zhu Wu looked at Shi Jin's unkind face, and he said carefully: "Lord Wang, although this General Dong suffered a lot of casualties, he did defeat the Liao army. Besides, now that the big war is imminent, it is still a victory to boost morale! In the opinion of the minister, it is better to be rewarded! ”
"I know! If it weren't for that, I would have taken this bastard's military position a long time ago! Shi Jin put down the battle report and shouted impatiently: "Pass on the order of the king and promote Dong Ping to the general of Xuande who is the fifth grade." At the same time, he sent someone to deliver a message, saying that the king saw that his soldiers and horses had suffered heavy casualties, and transferred him back to Liaoyang to repair first. ”
You have won the battle, and I am commending you. But this time in the war, you won't have anything to do. Get back to the rear and review!
Zhu Wu nodded when he heard it and said, "The prince is wise!" ”
Shi Jin stood up, looked at the map behind him, and while observing the distance between the two armies, he said: "Publish the battle report to the whole army and boost the morale of the whole army." According to the information sent back by Dong Ping and the spies in front, our army and the Liao army will probably meet in two days! The whole army was ordered to raise the alert to another level, and the whole army should be ready for battle at any time. In case of a sneak attack by the Liao army! ”
Zhu Wu nodded and shouted, "Minister's order!" ”
At the behest of Zhu Wu, the news of Dong Ping's victory over the Liao army was widely publicized among the Dingxiang army.
Hearing the news that 5,000 people in the vanguard had defeated 20,000 Liao troops, this greatly encouraged the soldiers of the Dingxiang army, and the army's morale was greatly boosted.
This Liao army is not as powerful as it is rumored, like a forward army of 5,000 people can defeat four times the Liao army. We have 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the Liao army is only 200,000. Don't worry at all, the Dingxiang army will win!
……
However, he said that the deputy general fled back with the defeated and disabled men and horses of the Liao army, and saw the Wuyan army.
In the tent of the Liao army commander, the Wuyan army heard that his son was killed by the Song army. He shouted angrily: "What are you talking about, Wu'er was killed by that Song dog." You are talking nonsense, my son has learned formations since he was a child, and he knows quite a lot. That dog thief is only a few thousand people, what ability do you have to kill Wu'er? ”
The lieutenant hurriedly explained the defeat.
The Wuyan army heard that his son had already besieged Song Jiang, but he didn't expect that the enemy general would be brave and single-handedly kill his own son.
"My son is dead, and you still have the face to see the general. Come on, drag these people out, and behead them! ”
At that moment, the guards standing in the two rows in front of the Wuyan Commander immediately came out, thinking that the deputy general would drag him out.
The adjutant general was terrified when he heard this, and he struggled desperately and shouted: "General, it's not that the slave maid is not unwilling, the slave maid obeyed the order of the young general at that time and led the troops to encircle and suppress the Song army!" Slaves and maids are wronged! ”
The Wuyan army shouted, "You dare to say that you are wronged!" Since you are leading people to encircle and suppress, and let Song Jiang fight out of the encirclement, what use do you want? What are you waiting for, don't drag me out left and right, cut it! ”
At the beginning, when the lieutenant general was struggling desperately, the guard actually gave the lieutenant a chance to beg for mercy according to the usual practice.
Because there are too many things like keeping people under the knife, you have to leave some time to see if the general really wants to kill or intimidate the other party.
Now that the general was angry, the guards immediately knew what to do.
Immediately stopped showing mercy, regardless of the struggles of the lieutenant general, and dragged the lieutenant out with force.
The lieutenant struggled desperately, begging for mercy and intercession, but it was useless at this time.
Soon, a scream was heard outside the tent, and then the guard carried the lieutenant's head in with a wooden plate.
The Wuyan commander shouted impatiently: "What are you sending in for, just dig a pit and bury it!" ”
When the guards sent all the heads down, the Wuyan army inspected the group of men in the camp and shouted: "You have also heard, this Song army is not much of a great deal. If it weren't for the dedication of his subordinates and let the Song generals kill out, Wu'er would have defeated the Song army. In two days, our army will attack the Song army head-on. Who dares to be the vanguard of our army's front now, leading troops forward? Inquire about the news and warn Song Jun! ”
The two Liao generals in front of the tent hurriedly came out of the column and shouted: "Wait for two, willing to be the forward." ”
One of them is Fanguan Qiong Demon Nayan; One is Yanjing Xiaojiang, surnamed Kou, with two names Zhenyuan.
When the Wuyan army saw the great joy, he said: "You two are careful, and I will lead 10,000 soldiers to be the vanguard of the front, open the road in the mountains, and stack bridges in the water." I led the army, and then arrived. ”
"The Last General's Order!"
On July 28, the fifth year of Zhenghe, the Liao army led by Wuyan arrived in Sichuanzhou, which was only half a day's journey from the middle army of Dingxiang.
Although the main forces of the two armies have not yet officially met and fought, the secret confrontation has already begun.
In order to find out as much information about the enemy as possible, and also to minimize the detection of the enemy, the spies and patrols scattered around have already fought each other.
On the 28th, there were no less than four or five hundred dead and wounded.
Four or five hundred people are in front of an army of more than 100,000 people, and they can't even count as waves, but they make people feel the suffocation of the coming big war and the black clouds crushing the city.
Even the most daring people can't help but restrain their temperament in this dull atmosphere, pack up their weapons, and prepare for the decisive battle.
In the tent of the commander of the Dingxiang army, Shi Jin handed a war book to Shi Xiu and shouted: "General Shi, send this war book to the Liao army's Wuyan army." This king asked him to fight to the death tomorrow! ”
