Daytime battles continued, not large-scale battles, but small-scale battles continued.

There are dozens of small people, and many are hundreds, and the two sides seem to have formed a tacit understanding, and the number of troops invested each time does not exceed 500.

And as a result, the Tang army won more and lost less.

The Tibetans seemed to be intending to slow down the Tang army in this way, and the end result was that they succeeded.

Although this result was very unsatisfactory for the Tubo people, for Li Jing, it was a failure.

Originally, they had planned to travel seventy miles in one day, but now that the sun had set, they had only just walked about sixty miles, ten miles short of their plan.

Failure to complete the set goal is tantamount to failure, this is Li Jing's idea.

However, Rao is heart was constantly depressed, and his mind was unhappy, and after nightfall, Li Jing still dragged his tired body to participate in an important ceremony.

As the troops deepened, with the resistance of the Tibetans, the Tang army also began to have casualties, although the casualties were not large, but in any case, these people could not go back.

After nightfall, the two sides seemed to have reached an agreement again, the Tang army would not take advantage of the night to sneak attack, nor would they leave the camp, and the Tubo people did not come to sneak attack, let alone harass, and the two sides entered a peaceful night.

And after stopping, the first thing the Don Army did was nothing else, but to cremate those soldiers who died in battle during the day.

Cremation, many people can't accept this way, which will make them think that there are no bones after death, and even in many places, many people, many families, the corpses are incomplete, the dead are too young, they die of crimes, they die of unnatural death, and even death caused by a series of reasons, including death in war, etc., they are not allowed to enter the ancestral grave after death.

But here, they have no way, they have no way to transport the bodies of these soldiers back, and as the temperature rises, they can't even guarantee that these bodies will remain like this when their class teacher returns to the court.

Therefore, the disposal of the remains of soldiers killed in battle in the army can often only be done through cremation.

This must be done regardless of whether the family is able to accept it or not.

Of course, there is another way, burying it on the spot, if you are lucky, if you have fewer people killed in battle, and it is possible to be a single person in a single pit.

But in the case of large-scale battles, where thousands of people are killed, they often just dig a big pit, or find a pit on lower ground, put the corpses directly into it, and then bury the matter.

It's disrespectful, but I don't have that much time to dig so many graves.

But in this way, it will make these soldiers become lonely ghosts.

Li Jing's Yazhou army came out this time, and all the dead were cremated, and they had to be brought back whether they were alive or dead.

The ceremony was grand and simple.

The comrades-in-arms of the fallen soldiers can get closer and send them off for the last time, and the rest of the soldiers of the whole army must also stand up at this moment and salute in the direction of cremation, which can be regarded as a tribute to those comrades-in-arms who are familiar or unfamiliar.

There seemed to be some noise in the crowd, and after a while, a soldier ran over quickly and reported something to the soldier next to him.

I saw the soldier walking with a somewhat tangled face, and I didn't know what to say, the first time I encountered such a strange thing, such a strange person.

"General, there is a soldier who has to fight with his ashes......" Qi Zhen said the reason for the incident with a bitter face.

This does not conform to the rules of the army, if the two are brothers, then he naturally has the right to decide, but they are not brothers, they even come from two counties, and there is no blood relationship.

In this case, it is obviously unreasonable to make such a decision.

No matter how good the relationship in the army is, it is also in the army, after all, people still have families, if they only send the news of the death, but they don't see the ashes, how can they explain this?

"Nonsense!" Just listening to the process of things, Li Jing felt that this was nonsense, "How to fight with ashes?" Even if it doesn't affect your own movements, what if the enemy slashes and scatters the ashes on the ground? Can it be recovered? Tell him that either the ashes will be handed over, or he will be dealt with as a violation of military orders! ”

Although I admire it very much in my heart and feel very emotional, if I look at this matter in this position, it is nonsense.

The army has its own rules in the army, if everyone violates it, how can this soldier be brought?

Strictly administering the army is the core purpose of Li Jing's troops, and it will not change at any time.

Besides, even if he didn't look at this matter as a commander, Li Jing wouldn't agree with him to do it, everyone was already dead, not to mention going into the ground for peace or something, what are you tossing around?

……

"Little Four, don't toss, Lao Zhu has already left, let him go home as soon as possible, and when this battle is over, let's go to his grave to report the good news......" Team Zheng Yishan was full of helpless persuasion, and during the day he wondered what this kid meant, but now he finally understood.

But feelings are feelings, no one will say that you are sorry for Lao Zhu, but if you do this, it will not only make Lao Zhu unstable, but also bring more trouble to yourself.

"I said I was going to take Captain Wu home......" Li Si muttered in a low voice while collecting the ashes, a bag he had specially found, and tears couldn't stop sliding down.

"As far as you look like a bear now, let alone taking Lao Zhu home, it's a question of whether you can go home yourself." Facing Li Si, who was not in the oil and salt, Yi Shan was already roaring almost madly, he knew that if he couldn't handle this matter again, he wouldn't be able to do it himself.

"When I die, I'll go home with Captain Wu."

"Go home together? How dare you really think, who do you think you are? You think you're capable, don't you? Lao Zhu has led twenty soldiers, not to mention thirty, but there has never been one as undisciplined as you, Lao Tzu told you, if you don't hand over the ashes today, there ......will not even be a person to collect your body later."

"General Li has an order, put down the ashes, or be punished for violating the military order!" The previously angry army turned back, he heard it, and also saw that Yishan was working hard, but it was useless, the general's words had come down, and now there are only two options left for Li Si, hand over the ashes, and then continue to fight, of course, whether he can go to the battlefield is unknown for the time being, and no one dares to use such a person with confidence, anyway, his life will not be easy in the future.

And the other, violating military orders.

What is the crime of violating military orders in wartime? Execute!

After the military reform, the system of the government military system has also changed a lot, in the past, the military formation spoke, and those who did not have the military formation were killed!

Many small problems have to be discussed, and it is precisely this kind of deterrence that makes the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army always very strong, and the marching formation is also very neat, which is very shocking.

Later, it was changed, but it did not completely give up this deterrence, but only gave the soldiers some opportunities.

Speak to the military formation, the military formation is uneven, the first time is punished for half a year, the second time is punished for one year, the third time is demoted to a new soldier, and the fourth time is beheaded!

Although three chances were given, the punishment was severe each time, so even if they were given the opportunity, no one dared to disobey, but for the imperial court, they were more loyal.

What will be the final outcome of those who are executed for violating military orders?

I'm sorry, from now on you are a lonely ghost here, no one will take you back, no one will collect the body for you, if you are lucky, you have a good relationship before your death, I will ask for instructions to bury you, and if you are unlucky, you will just find a random place to throw it there.

And if you are executed for violating military orders, all your benefits will be canceled, and your family will not get a penny, and there will be nothing left.

Li Si finally trembled slightly, violating the military order, he couldn't afford this responsibility, let alone this crime.

……

Li Jing is notoriously strict in governing the army, and he can't rub sand in his eyes.

Especially after the setback of the first westward expansion, Li Jing has become much stricter in controlling military regulations.

Because only strict military regulations restrict them, these people will not make mistakes, and they will make fewer mistakes.

No mistakes, fewer mistakes, means more people can go home.

Li Jing's current status is already in full swing, and the entire government and the opposition are estimated to be slightly stronger than him, so he doesn't need those false names or anything, all he thinks about in his heart is to defeat the enemy and go home with more living people.

"General, find out, the soldier's name is Li Si......" The action of joining the army was very fast, and it took almost no effort to find out Li Si's situation clearly, and even his relationship with Lao Zhu was also found out.

Li Jing nodded, he could hear it, and he could see that this was a person who valued affection and righteousness, and Li Jing admired him very much, and did not underestimate him because of his identity.

But admiration does not mean everything, and affection does not mean that it is right.

"I can serve as a temporary captain immediately after serving as a team leader, and I still have the ability, otherwise why stand out from many team leaders and be selected by the team? If he is willing to work hard, given time, it will be no problem to be a team, and it may even be possible to go further, but it's a pity that ......" Li Jing did not hide his appreciation for Li Si at all.

In one day, in a battle, from an ordinary soldier to a captain, and then to a captain, although there is luck, but among the fifty people, nine captains and four captains, why did they choose him?

The team is not a fool, and will not easily hand over power to a person who is incapacitated, no matter how strong the patience is, this is also the army, unruly people, even if you have the ability to turn the sky, it is not what is needed here.

"Arrange for him to return to the team, demote him back to his original position, if he can find the meaning of a soldier in the next battle, renew him and let him serve as the captain, if it is still like this, even if he can survive this battle, let him get out immediately after the fight, Datang does not need this kind of person, even if he is the elite ...... among the soldiers"
