On June 19, 1003, Shen Yun, Marquis of Bohai of the Han Dynasty, led the cavalry of the three battalions of Feiyun Fort to pursue the retreating Yueshi army. As a result, the plan was ambushed. When fighting the Yueshi ambush, they encountered 3,000 Roman cardinals, and after two hours of bloody fighting, they retreated at night.

Is it a service, Shen Yun personally hit the Roman crown prince Blue Shield? Congenes? Caesar, Han Biao, the general of the Moon Clan, is under the banner of the Han Emperor!

The Han army lost a total of 892 killed, 1,621 seriously wounded, and 1,287 lightly wounded!

Including the flying cavalry guards, all the Han troops who participated in the battle were wounded!

Fortunately, in this battle, a total of 721 Roman cardinal soldiers were beheaded, 1,320 Yue rebels were killed, 13 Roman soldiers were captured, and 109 Yue rebels were killed.

What a victory!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After the Battle of Zimu, Shen Yun and Liu Zhen returned to Feiyun Castle. When they returned to the fort, the scene of all the soldiers being injured really made the Fifth Company and Chenyin who stayed behind scared.

On the second day, that is, in the early morning of June 20, 1003, Liu Zhen, who had rested all night, wanted to continue to send flying cavalry guards to pursue, when he received an order from Marshal Hu Gong: abandon the 6th and 9th legions of the Yueshi retreating south, and make every effort to encircle and kill the Yueshi rebels on the front line of the Zabhan River.

It turned out that on the 19th of June, the Yue's army seemed to sense something and began to march north along the Zabkhan River towards the city of Kobdo. This is a clear sign of wanting to retreat.

At this time, the Yue's army had already lost one legion, and two legions had also withdrawn, and the strength on hand had shrunk by three percent. However, the Han army is becoming more and more courageous, the flying cavalry guards on the south bank of the Zabhan River have all gathered in Feiyun Castle, and the Han army of Ertegang has also taken advantage of the situation to the south, which is equivalent to forming a situation of encirclement between the north and the south against the Yueshi rebels. But because of the shortage of logistical supplies for the Han army. The consumption rate of attacking weapons, especially arrows, is too high to launch a large-scale surge type of battle, so they can only follow the Yueshi rebels on both sides and continue to consume.

It can be seen that the Yue's army is like a bloated and seriously injured elephant at this time, while the Han army is like a hungry wolf around the elephant, from time to time it will pounce on it and take a bite, and then retreat after biting, constantly consuming the enemy while also getting supplies from the battle.

Of course, this tactic is easy in modern times when there are long-range communication equipment. However, in this era when banners are the main means of communication, this kind of tactic requires a high degree of tacit understanding between generals and generals, and also requires an all-round improvement in the quality of soldiers.

Fortunately, on the south bank of the Zabhan River was the Flying Cavalry Guard, while on the north bank was the Han army led by Marshal Hu Gong. Whether it's the timing of the attack or the strength of the attack. Both sides grasped it very well.

So, for the next ten days. In this way, the Han army continued to attack around the Yue's army. Nibbled. It is also thanks to the fact that the predecessor of the Yue rebels was the Han army, otherwise the army at other times would have completely collapsed in this endless harassment war.

Of course, although the Yueshi rebels did not collapse completely, they were not far from collapse. By the second day of the seventh month, there were less than four legions that could still be preserved and marched. The others were either captured by the Han army or took the opportunity to escape, and the entire battlefield showed a situation of sparks, that is, countless Yue's rebels were either routed from the army and fled to various parts of Beihai Prefecture, or wanted to be deserters. Privately looking for directions and roads, running in the direction of Jinshan without a head.

For these scattered Yueshi rebels, the principle of the Han army is not to be soft, so it is bound to divide troops to pursue. The task of pursuit was given to the follow-up lightly wounded soldiers and the second-class regiment requisitioned from Dingbianfu and other places.

Everyone can see that the vigorous battle of the Northern Xinjiang is about to end with the fiasco of the Yue Clan.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After Shen Yun's special department rested in Feiyun Fort for five days, he received an order from Marshal Hu Gong and called them to the marshal's camp, which had been re-stationed in Dingbianfu.

From Yunwai Fort to Beihai Prefecture, and then from Feiyun Fort to Dingbian Mansion, the thousands of cadets and soldiers of the Special Formation Department have been fighting for thousands of miles? From the course of Zhaowu University, they have fully qualified, and they have completed this graduation answer sheet with excellent results!

In the open space in front of the marshal's camp, Hu Gong led the officers of the camp to ceremoniously receive the non-commissioned officers of Feiyun Fort and the cadets of the special department, of course, including the Fourth Army Corps, which was almost completely wiped out.

It can be seen that Hu Gong is very happy. When he looked at Shen Yun's gaze, he was filled with guilt, but also with relief.

As a great hero of the Battle of Zimu, Shen Yun was the first to come out.

"Report to the marshal, the Special Department of the Third Army of the Northern Frontier Front reports to you!" Shen Yun's face was radiant at the moment, and the military aura revealed from his bones made many of the officers present nod approvingly.

After this battle, everyone knew that the young man in front of him was the Marquis of Bohai of the Han Dynasty, and if he did not have this military uniform, 90% of the people present would have to salute him.

"Good, good!" Hu Gonglian said three "good" words, reached out and patted Shen Yun's shoulder heavily, seeing that there were still dents left on the battlefield on the shoulder armor, he couldn't help but show a distressed look, and said loudly: "Yuan Rang, Brother Qingquan's spirit in the sky must also be proud of you!" From today on, you will follow Ben Shuai! ”

Hu Gong's voice was very sincere, looking at Shen Yun, it seemed that he could see the old friend who had died, so he hoped to keep Shen Yun by his side and not let him bear the wind and rain again.

Hu Gong's words, the happiest person is Zhuge Yun, who has been standing behind Hu Gong, and the most unhappy is Dianmu. Originally, the commander of the special editorial department was his friend Xu Dong, but by mistake, Bohai Hou was in the limelight. But now that Xu Dong followed the Third Army to the Orkhon Valley, Dianmu just took it to heart.

"Marshal," Shen Yun thought for a moment and saluted: "When the Special Editorial Department set out from Yinzhou, there were four thousand five hundred and thirty-six people, but now there are only one thousand seven hundred and eleven people, so many robes have died on the battlefield, marshal, I want to continue to lead the troops to kill the enemy, I don't want to stay in the marshal's camp!" ”

At this moment, Shen Yun was not reluctant to set off from Yunwai Fort at all, since he experienced the three battles of Chagan Lake, Feiyun Fort and Zimu, he had completely transformed! He found his dream of crossing over, that is, to complete the great feat that the Holy Ancestor Emperor, who had failed to complete his predecessors - to defeat Rome and conquer Europe!

Hu Gong was a little hesitant this time, he really didn't want to let his old friend's son take risks again, he was forced to do so before, but now he ...... But after seeing Shen Yun's insistent eyes. Hu Gong still nodded: "Okay!" Ben Shuai promised you that it is! ”

As he spoke, Hu Gong raised his head, glanced at all the cadets of the special department present, and said loudly: "Students, the old man hereby announces in the name of Zhaowu University's sacrificial wine that you have all passed the graduation assessment of Zhaowu University, and from now on, you are a member of my Han Empire's Yulin Army!" For the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest! ”

"For the country's wings, such as the prosperity of the forest!!" Everyone in the special section shouted excitedly.

The graduation assessment of Zhaowu University is undoubtedly extremely strict. But compared to the real battlefield training, it is all pediatrics. From today onwards, they can be regarded as the real Han Yulin!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Next is the conferment of titles and decorations. Whether it is Chagan Lake, Feiyun Castle, or even Zimu, the soldiers of the special compilation department are remarkable. Especially Shen Yun, the first arrow in Chagan Lake was shot by them. For this. Shen Yun's military rank crossed the rank of captain of ordinary military academy graduates, but directly entered the ranks of school-level officers. Wear a crane-shaped sword badge.

Shen Yun below. Zhao Xin, Fang Cheng, Wen Cui, the Fifth Company, and Zheng Ying were directly promoted to captains and wore the Chiyan Sword Badge. Except for the five of them, all the officers in the Special Formation Department were promoted to lieutenants, while the others, all of whom were second lieutenants, wore the Boshui Sword Medal. As for Chenyin and Ma Gu and others. They were all promoted to the next rank. Soldiers also have excellent military exploits.

Meritorious service is another kind of military merit reward that is different from rank. The military rank represents the status and position of a soldier in the army, while the merit is a combination of status and interests, and its nature is similar to that of the Han Empire. Military medals are linked to the rewards of the imperial court. It has always been the most important point for military personnel.

The military medals of the Han Empire are divided into 12 turns, and every 3 honors are 1 turn, and they are subdivided into 36 ranks. Each revolution is equivalent to the weight of an official.

It must be explained first that the twelve turns of military honors are not the initiative of His Majesty the Holy Ancestor, as early as the period of the Great Qin Empire, there was a system of awarding military merits. At that time, the Qin army was divided into 20 levels of military merit, Gongshi, Shangzao, hairpin, not more, doctor, official doctor, public doctor, public passenger, five doctors, left chief, right chief, left more, middle more, right more, less Shangzao, big Shangzao, chariot chief, big chief, Guannei Hou, Che Hou. After Han Gaozu grabbed the world, he inherited this system and carried it forward, creating a sixteenth-level military meritorious lord above the Marquis of Che. But at this time, military merit and official titles can be used universally, and there is no difference between the lord of the subdivision army and the court.

and the Holy Ancestor revised the military system and separated the official from the military lord. One of the most important benefits of the official lord is the enjoyment of the food estate, and the military lord is divided into military rank and military honor, the military rank represents the status and position, and the military merit refers to the actual benefit - the military medal can be conferred on the land.

Note that the military medal is a field grant, not a food town. The term "eup" means that the recipient can enjoy the wealth within the scope of the eup, but the ownership and management of the land are still owned by the state. The grant of land is the transfer of land rights. The fields obtained through military decorations, called Xuntian, are retired with the country and never need to be taxed.

Receiving the Honorable Ground is one of the greatest honors of a soldier, and it is not much better than that of an official. More importantly, the Holy Ancestor stipulated that "the superior lord shall not confer a field of honor". That is to say, the nobles of the fifth rank of "Gonghou Bozinan" in the Han Empire cannot be awarded Xuntian. Xuntian is a reward specially prepared for low-level sergeants or commoners.

Of course, Xuntian is free from taxation forever, and once the country is established for a long time, it will be a great burden on the national finances. Emperor Shengzu also thought of this, so he was extremely demanding on military honors. He redefined the name, rank, and award of military honors.

Twelve military medals, only three military medals can be awarded land, and the field is only awarded to one person, and each time the field can only get one acre. Once a person has acquired more than three acres of land in the old state, he must pick up the land in the new state if he is awarded another field. In terms of inheritance, Xuntian's heir must be the heir of the family and cannot be divided. Once the family died, Xuntian was repossessed of the state and could not be passed on to other relatives.

Twelfth Military Medal, thirty-six ranks. Three levels and one turn, called the captain; The sixth rank is called the captain; The ninth rank is called the cavalry captain; The twelfth grade is called the cavalry captain; The fifteenth level is called the captain of the cavalry; The eighteenth level is called the captain of the cavalry; Twenty-one and one turned to be the lieutenant of the light car; The twenty-fourth grade is called the captain of the light car; The twenty-seventh rank is called the hussar captain; The thirtieth rank is called the hussar captain; Thirty-three years and one turn are called loose cavalry permanent attendants; The thirty-sixth level is called Zhonglang General.

In addition, there is the honorary title of military decoration, which is intended for the nobility, and the name is slightly higher than that of ordinary military decorations - of course, that is, it is just a bit of nobility, and there is no other real benefit.

The noble military commander was called the left scattered cavalry attendant; The second turn is called the right scattered cavalry; Three turns called Zuo Lang General; The fourth turn is called the right Lang General; Five turns called Zhonglang General; Six turns called hussar Zuo Lang general; Seven turns called hussar right general; Eight turns called hussar general; Nine turns called Yunqi Dudu; Ten turns to be called the governor of the army; Eleven turned to the name of General Jingo; Twelve turned to the name of the Great General of Shenwu.

It can be seen from here. The military medals and fields of the Han Empire were extremely difficult to obtain. If an ordinary soldier can obtain the highest rank of lieutenant general in the 12th turn of military merit, then he must have already been crowned a viscount on the official title. According to the rule of the Holy Ancestor that "the superior lord shall not grant land", his field will be taken back after his death, and he will be re-given the title of "Governor of the Imperial Army" of the tenth turn of the noble military order. And if the nobles can obtain the title of General Jinwu or General Shenwu, then the official is at least a marquis or above to match.

For example, the full name of Hu Gong Zhang Xin should be "The Han Empire canonized His Royal Highness Hu Gong and awarded the title of Ten Turns Jinwu General Zhang Xin Zhang Ponu".

From this point of view, military honors, ranks, and titles are linked to each other, preventing the expansion of honors and the financial constraints of the empire. Ills that are not conducive to centralized rule.

Of course, under normal circumstances, an ordinary soldier can save enough military medals for three turns, and obtaining one acre of military merit is a clear proof of the success of his military career. And it is easier for nobles to save military medals, after all, there is no practical benefit. The court also gave it more happily.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Shen Yun and Fang Cheng, as nobles, have the right of family inheritance. So with the support of Hu Gong. The special military medal was transferred, and they received the military medal of the left scattered cavalry.

Although Zhao Xin, Zhong Lisi, Pang Tong and others were also nobles, they had no family inheritance rights, and could only be treated as ordinary soldiers, and they were also given the title of military medal and commander of the capital.

Furthermore. Also receiving a military medal are Wen Cui, Zhou Hui, Situ Xiaoyue and Fang Xiaorou, these are several people who participated in the bloody battle of Zimu, because they hit the Roman crown prince hard, so their military merits are higher. Special Awards.

As for Chen Yin, Ma Gu, Zheng Ying, the Fifth Company, Zhang Mo and others because they did not participate in the Battle of Zimu, they only remembered the two-level military medals, and they were less than one turn. Other soldiers were awarded as appropriate, and most of them had first-class military decorations.

The scene of the award of titles and decorations is undoubtedly inspiring. Even ordinary soldiers who had just won the first-class military medal were inexplicably excited. Because the first-class military medal represents a step closer to the acre of Xuntian that never pays taxes. This is undoubtedly a good start for the children of ordinary people.

After the excitement and excitement of the award ceremony, Shen Yun suddenly found a problem: all the soldiers who participated in the battle of Feiyun Fort and Zimu were rewarded, and even Zhu Neng of the Flying Cavalry Guard was awarded a two-class military medal, but why was Liu Zhen not on the award book?

That night, in the marshal's camp, Duke Hu held a small celebration banquet -- the battle was still being fought, and although everyone knew that the victory had been won, it still could not be too ostentatious. At the banquet, the soldiers sang and danced, and they were very happy. After a hundred battles, and won meritorious services, is there anything more joyful than this?

At the banquet, Duke Hu only attended symbolically for a while, specially called Shen Yun and Fang Cheng to go over to talk, and then went back to the marshal's tent to deal with military affairs. Because it is in the northern Xinjiang, the soldiers are allowed to drink a little high-altitude wine, and the amount is not much, and the meaning is up to the point. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Zhong Lisi, a person who secretly drank the wine under the names of Shen Yun and Fang Zhi, also has several drunk and is going crazy with alcohol. Everyone just wanted to have fun, but no one cared. The officers of the Judge Advocate General's Office came here to take a few looks, and then walked away with a smile, and no one complained anything about people like them who had escaped from death.

Zhou Hui was also secretly called into the marshal's tent by Duke Hu during the banquet, but when she came out, she didn't have a scolded expression, she just sat down next to Shen Yun, took a sip of wine, stretched out her little tongue at Shen Yun, and said mischievously: "Uncle Zhang said that he would go and intercede with my father and let me continue to stay here...... Hehe, Uncle Zhang is still good to me, how can it be like you, Stinky Yuanrang, you know how to bully me! ”

Shen Yun was also shot while lying down, and touched his nose in embarrassment, but he smiled silently.

Beihai Prefecture is a sea of stars, the sky is like a curtain, and the sky and earth are domes, which makes people's hearts shocked!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Happy times are always short-lived, and when they got up the next day, the first problem that Shen Yun and the others had to face was the question of whether to leave or leave the special editorial department.

The Special Editorial Department was temporarily organized to accommodate students who had not graduated from Zhaowu University. Now that they have graduated and are on the battlefield, it is imperative to reorganize and reorganize.

For this matter, Hu Gong still handed it over to the staff team to deal with, and when the time came, he only needed to hand over the handling opinions to him for review. Long before the special compilation department came to Dingbianfu, the General Staff came up with several plans, but in the end Hu Gong did not approve it. It wasn't until today that Hu Gong finally settled on a plan.

In view of the fact that the Fourth Army Corps has been destroyed, the corps commander has been killed, and the soldiers of the Northern Xinjiang Front Army are not abundant, the establishment of the Fourth Army Corps of the Northern Xinjiang Front Army was abolished, and the remnants of the original Fourth Army Corps, the remnants of the Special Formation Department, and the remnants of the Feiyunwei Army were included in the jurisdiction of the Third Army Corps, and at the same time, the Dingbianfu Second Class Army Corps was recruited to supplement it.

The Fourth Army Corps and Feiyunwei were incorporated into the Third Division of the First Brigade of the Third Army Corps of the Northern Frontier Front of the Han Empire, and the commander of the department was designated by the commander of the Third Army Corps.

The number of the special department was abolished, and the cadets of the former Zhaowu University all graduated and were promoted to second lieutenants, but of course they could no longer be the leading soldiers, and all of them were added to the five corps of the Northern Xinjiang Front Army and served as grass-roots officers -- after these several major battles, the death rate of grass-roots officers was still very high, and these cadet soldiers could just serve as fresh blood to supplement them.

Of course, the addition of these cadets also strengthened Hu Gong's control over the entire Northern Xinjiang Front. It can be said that the current Hu Gong can be regarded as the actual commander of the five corps of the Northern Xinjiang Front.

In the end, there are specific arrangements for Shen Yun, Fang Cheng and several others. The person who came to inform them of their upcoming assignment to a specific legion was Zhuge Yun.

At this moment, Zhuge Yun looked at Shen Yun and Fang Cheng with an inexplicable smile.

Oh, Ma Gu also followed behind Zhuge Yun, he seemed to know something, with the same smile on his face as Zhuge Yun - very weird. (To be continued......)
