……
When a pure lamb meets a black-hearted wolf, the fate can be imagined.
Dulan Khan is like the pure lamb.
Wu Fan is the black-hearted wolf.
Three hours ago.
At the behest of Wu Fan, Dulan Khan drove his tribesmen to put out fires, go back to the pen of livestock, and go to ...... Dig big holes.
And Wu Fan took advantage of this free time to gather his soldiers and horses, including Guo Jia, Gao Ying and others, who were far away from the hustle and bustle of the battlefield.
The Sui soldiers took turns resting and supervising the work of the Turks.
The Sui army lord will occupy the royal tent for food and post-battle summarization.
Ma Wu worked hard and took charge of the overall work, he had just come back, and he was sweating before he had time to wipe it off, and reported: "Three hundred and fifty people died in the criminal camp, and the rest were all painted." The guards lost 640 men and wounded more than 200. The hussars lost 480 dead and about 300 wounded. Six hundred were killed and four hundred were wounded. Long Xiang died 300 dead and more than 400 were injured. Three hundred and thirty people were killed and more than 590 wounded. Five hundred and fifty men were killed and three hundred and four wounded. The Qiang battalion suffered 450 dead and 433 wounded...... Our army died in this battle, that is, 3,700 people! The total number of troops has been reduced by nearly forty percent! ”
"Shhh
The crowd stopped laughing and gasped hard.
Wu Fan put down the roast leg of lamb in his hand, wiped his hands, stared at everyone's expressionless expression, and said, "Did you hear it?" Yes? Three thousand seven! Three thousand seven! He repeated the number of three thousand seven hundred twice, shook his head very displeasedly, and said, "So many people died! This is a failure!! ”
The crowd was dumbfounded.
Wei Yan couldn't hold back his temperament. muttered, "Lord! With 10,000 soldiers and horses, we swept away more than 200,000 Turks. How can it be called a failure? It's a complete win! ”
"Bang!"
Wu Fan smashed the table in front of him with a palm.
Wu Fanteng stood up and pointed at Wei Yan's nose. His expression was furious: "A complete victory? Oh no, you can open your mouth! Listen to me! A successful general does not depend on how many battles he can fight or how many wars he can win, but because he can make his soldiers and horses survive as long as possible! He swallowed it and said in a deep voice: "The fact that there are few dead people does not mean that they are cowardly, afraid of war, and dare not fight." What I want is for you to be smart and reduce casualties. You are not alone anymore, you are all the leaders of the first battalion. The life and death of thousands of people in his hands are related to the blessings and disgraces of thousands of families! I trust you and allow you to decide. The soldiers trust you and entrust their lives to you. Ladies and gentlemen! Use your brains! Ladies and gentlemen! Your deeds are built on the hard work of your soldiers! ”
There was silence in the crowd, and joy turned to silence.
Wu Fan walked to Wei Yan's side and said, "Although the number of the sin military camp you led is the smallest among the eight battalions, it is really the most elite!" I command you to take the lead and be a pioneer. Gnaw hard bones, you did it! You also turned the tide of the battle and critically killed the Turkic Ye Hu Ashina Mattress, but the special service, I am very pleased! But the guilty military camp was less than 800 people. Half of it was gone all at once! My heart aches! ”
Wei Yan hung his head.
Wu Fan walked to Guan Sheng and Guan Ling's side and said, "The Longxiang Battalion and the Huben Battalion led by the two of you have a total of three thousand people. I command you to set fire to the left and right wings and cut the Turkic tents with all your might. You did it! This is your first battle, and you're fighting well. I know that you were later involved in sniping reinforcements from other Turkic tribes. It's hard to fight. But in total, more than 630 soldiers were killed, thousands were wounded, and almost half of them didn't look like a child! ”
Guan Sheng and Guan Ling were ashamed.
Wu Fan walked to Wang Xuan and Jing Dan's side, and said: "The two of you led the hussar battalion and the Xiao cavalry battalion, with a total of 3,500 troops, I ordered you to be the rear army, and the main task was to kill and injure the Turkic soldiers and horses, and you did it!" This is your first battle, and I must commend you. But you have suffered two thousand casualties! And what should you tell me to say? ”
Wang Junke and Jing Dan are embarrassed.
Wu Fan walked to Jiang Song and Qiong Demon Nayan's side, and said: "The two of you led the Zhige Battalion and the Qiang Military Camp, with 3,500 men and horses, I ordered you to be a mobile force, where to go where you are in a hurry, you have done it!" This is also the first battle of your own army, and I need to praise you. But a thousand of you are dead, and nearly 800 of you are wounded! ”
Jiang Song and Qiong Demon Nayan felt guilty.
Wu Fan stood in the middle of the king's tent and said, "I have to criticize myself, because under my personal command, the casualties of the pro-guard battalion are also shocking, and it is my fault!" Or...... From the very beginning, I made a temporary decision to attack the Turkic tent, and 3,700 of my comrades were killed, and it was all my fault! I wasn't prepared, if I could have prepared more bows and arrows and enhanced ranged attacks, maybe I wouldn't have killed so many people; If I could plan more closely and refine each node, maybe so many people would not have died. If I could clearly figure out the geography, terroir, and human feelings of the Turks, and know each other and myself, I might not have died so many people. ”
Wu Fan sighed and said cautiously and sincerely: "It's a foregone conclusion, it's too late to regret it." I will correct it next time, and I implore you to encourage me. ”
Wu Fan counted everyone and blamed himself for the crime.
Guo Jia smiled happily at Wu Fan's move...... He felt that Wu Fan was maturing.
Gao Ying nodded secretly at Wu Fan's move...... He felt that Wu Fan was no longer so hateful.
For Wu Fan's move, the generals were both grateful and sour...... They felt that it was worthwhile to follow such a lord.
Wu Fan took the bowl and said, "When marching and fighting, you are not allowed to drink." We will replace wine with water, salute our dead comrades, and may they rest in peace! ”
The crowd shouted in unison: "May my comrades rest in peace!" ”
Drink it all.
Wu Fan sat down and motioned for Ma Wu to continue.
Ma Wudao: "More than 700 of our army's war horses have died, and 13 are missing. ”
Wu Fan rubbed his eyebrows and said: "The horseshoe is a sharp weapon for our war, and it will never be allowed to be passed on, so send more people to find it!" ”
Ma Wudao: "Our army beheaded more than 41,000 people, most of whom were set on fire and trampled on each other to death. There were almost 1440,000 prisoners, more than 1 million cattle, sheep and horses and other livestock, countless weapons and armor, and dozens of carts of gold, silver, pearls, and jade. ”
Wu Fan waved his hand and said, "You work hard, and send all the rewards promised before the war." ”
Ma Wudao: "Huh! ”
Wu Fan pondered and said: "The empire's war against Tibet is about to begin, even if my side breaks through the Eastern Turkic royal court, there is still a Western Turkic Futu City. The Turks are a structure in the form of a tribal alliance, and the Khan's life and death are much less affected than expected, and my next activities are destined to be greatly resisted. He said, "You say! Can I get myself to that ...... The kind of stopping the night crying of Turkic children makes them daunted? ”
Get!
Clever, understood.
Their lord will not change his life - he wants to trap prisoners!
Gao Ying got up, saluted respectfully, and said, "Ming Gong!" You have two places that you don't do it right! ”
Wu Fan stretched out his hand to invite and said, "Mr. Gao, please speak, I would like to hear the details!" ”
After Gao Ying considered it, he said, "First, Ming Gong is too generous!" The rewards you give to your soldiers not only undermine the inherent institutions of the empire, but are also prone to criticism. What's even more terrifying is what if there are no more of these rewards? Will the soldiers still follow you into battle? In the long run, this is not a good way to defend the army. Second, not to mention the issue of Ming Gong's own reputation, just talking about the influence of the pit prisoners on the soldiers, they will breed violence, murder and other negative feelings, and gradually drift away from the king's army! ”
Gao Ying's words are easy to understand.
Wu Fanyu had too much gold and silver for his soldiers and horses, which made it easy for them to become mercenaries.
Wu Fan traps prisoners, and it is easy for them to become thugs who do all kinds of evil.
Wu Fan pondered for a while, stood up straight and returned the salute to Gao Ying, and said, "What Mr. Gao said is extremely true! ”
Wu Fan continued: "In the future, the rewards for killing the enemy will be the same as those designated by the empire, and the rewards for the soldiers who are killed or wounded in battle will be slightly higher. Pit Prisoners...... If necessary, we don't need to do it, I'll let someone else do it! ”
Wu Fan took out the momentum of the human lord and said, "Let's rest after eating!" ”
