The second cavalry regiment went first (200 people), then the Modao soldiers, the first regiment and the third regiment followed, and then there were 400 heavy soldiers, and then 400 infantry, which was quite a few people

As they headed east from Pyongyang, the scenery was all green fields, and some of the original land was basically covered with thriving weeds, and the march did not encounter many people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Years of war, coupled with the lack of productivity, the land is desolate, but it is also the wild nature of the land before.

The captain of the second regiment is Cai Junhao, who rode in front, he is a very young knight, from Luoyang, who stood out in a very short period of time, whether it is riding archery or horse fighting, it is a first-class command ability.

As long as you give people the opportunity, someone will become excellent and show their abilities.

The reason is very simple, if you win more in training and kill more people in battle, it will not be difficult to be promoted, there will always be such people, some people are stupid and some people are smart.

"Arrest everyone you see! Kill them all! He ordered.

"Catch it?"

"All of them?" The sergeants exclaimed, "Aren't we going to keep them?" ”

They are all guys who don't have long eyes and no heart, grandma's stupid soldiers are really painful, no wonder Captain Feng's personal soldiers always carry leather whips to beat people!

"Execute the order!"

So the cavalry saw the larger villages (relatively few) and the less populated places, and immediately surrounded them, and those inside fled in panic, and the leading party of Goguryeo and Silla who followed them greeted them in the local language, "Folks, don't run away, we are good people, and we have corn to eat and mutton to eat (strange)!" ”

Seeing the persecution of the cavalry's spears and sabers, most of them stood still and obediently followed the cavalry to the road, and anyone who escaped was shot by the Tang army!

Sweeping along the way, the east and west pools of the road are covered with blood and corpses, either dead or taken away, this is the standard act of war, and the order must be carried out!

The shots are often recruits, mainly those Tuyuhun people who have returned to China, they are young and fast, fierce and brave, and they are very familiar with horse archery, but such a killing is like a flip board when the nomads invaded the Tang Dynasty, except that the victims are not Tang people.

By "sweeping" the Goguryeo people along the road, or the Silla people, or they don't know who they were, they became cold-hearted and gradually adapted to the battlefield.

This was by no means a decision made by Feng Xiaobao alone, but a joint decision made by senior officers and the General Staff.

Only in this way can the new Ding mature faster.

Only in this way will it be possible to weaken the war potential of Goguryeo.

Only in this way can the captured laborers work for the army, reduce the useless work of the army, set up camps and transport for men, wash clothes for women, and most importantly, bring them to the front line, they serve as cannon fodder in the siege, fill the enemy's moat, weaken the enemy's fighting spirit and firepower.

To be honest, Feng Xiaobao was dumbfounded when he first heard Fan Wuxian's "Three/Light Proposal" and "Fill the Gully".

Under his gaze, Fan Wuxian said fearlessly: "Every time we fight, we do this!" ”

He said coldly: "If it is not for them to die, then it is our people who will do it, and our people will die, Du Lieutenant, whatever you want, we will carry it out!" ”

Jing Dongling shared the pressure on Fan Wuxian on the side and said: "This is the only way, we didn't do it before, it was our brothers who died, and later, we all did it!" ”

According to the positive propaganda of the official, our Datang is the most benevolent, righteous and moral, the most humane and friendly, loves the enemy's common people, and treats prisoners of war preferentially.

But I didn't expect to catch the enemy people to "fill the ravine!" ”

What happened only to the nomads to our people has become the way we treat the people of foreign enemies!

It's really inhumane, but Feng Xiaobao still issued this order, and he has to thank Fan Wuxian for his proposal! He taught Feng Xiaobao as a veteran.

It is teaching, Jing Dongling said it well: "This is a necessary way!" ”

Otherwise, Feng Xiaobao will have to learn a lesson from the lives and blood of his brothers, and he will only embark on this road after the brothers have sacrificed and lost!

……

Li Jinxing, the general of the right leading army, was not with his Chinese army, but personally led three thousand iron cavalry as the front army to follow behind the forward soldiers of Songyang County, as long as the top soldiers were not defeated, the three thousand iron cavalry immediately went up to the rescue, killing the enemy without leaving a piece of armor!

He was not so kind to be a nanny, and the Zhechong Mansion in Songyang County was the bait he released to lure the enemy to attack.

At the same time, I also wanted to see this new army, but I didn't expect the soldiers of Zhichong Mansion in Songyang County to be so old, killing people and looting along the way, but not setting fires, leaving buildings for the army behind to rest.

This is the practice of an army that has fought an old war!

However, when he heard that there were indeed retired veteran officers in the soldiers of Songyang County's Zhichong Prefecture, it was no wonder that they would do this!

Moreover, the cavalry who heard the contact with the spearhead report that the morale of the spearhead was high and they sang from time to time.

……

Yang Chengxian and Cheng Boxi drove their troops forward, and the overall situation was good, of course, there were troubles of one kind or another!

Although it is the most dangerous soldier, the morale of the troops is not bad.

The military band played vigorously on the roadside, the marching troops sang from time to time, and everyone had something to eat when they had time, which seemed to be a bit of a spring outing atmosphere.

That's right, eating, handing out dried meat strips and cheese, it is recommended that everyone eat a little when they have time, which is good for replenishing physical strength and relieving mental tension.

The two treasures that Feng Xiaobao boasted about were actually not highly evaluated by the troops: the meat strips were hard to chew, even the good teeth of young people were bitten so painfully, and the cheese smelled stinky, anyway, don't eat it when you go home to hug your wife!

Having said that, if you eat something so delicious, you will eat it all at once, and you won't have to eat it in the future.

The troops were not afraid of war, but they encountered many problems on the road when they were marching: there were no roads at all in some places, and they had to rely on manpower to open the way... Well, the people who caught them came in handy, and told them to open the way, cut down the plants, and remove the rocks, but they were not very efficient, and the big leather whip was drawn, and the skin and flesh were still slow to be drawn; In some places, the slope is high, and the cavalry has to dismount and lead the horse; The rivers encountered from time to time on the road are directly crossed by the shallow ones, and the deep ones are about to be bridged.

Bypass?

Even if there is manpower, there is no technology and tools, but fortunately, after the report was reported to the general, five hundred troops were immediately transferred to be responsible for logging and building bridges, obviously familiar with the way, exploration, logging, trimming, merger, etc. were done quickly and well, and soon, an improvised bridge was built!

"This is the engineer that Xiaobao said!"

Yang Chengxian exclaimed, and Cheng Boxi also nodded: "That's right, sooner or later, our troops will have to include them in the establishment." ”

"That's going to cost money again!" Yang Chengxian shook his head and said, "We can't afford it!" ”

As a self-recruited army, even if there is a military fee issued by the Ministry of War, 1,200 people (Shangfu soldiers) are given according to the head, and the extra 400 heavy soldiers and 200 mixed soldiers are Feng Xiaobao's own pockets, plus hundreds of engineering soldiers, they can't afford to raise it!

Only when the troops are strong can they raise the engineering troops.

"Look!" Yang Chengxian pointed at the opposite bank with a horsewhip, and a small group of the enemy's cavalry appeared, wanting to take advantage of our bridge to make a sneak attack, and the second cavalry regiment was already engaged with them. (To be continued.) )
