Chapter 851: Victory is not arrogant
The result was exactly the same as Yan Liqiang's judgment, the 40,000 sand tutu army that rushed violently, no one could escape in the end, and the sand tutu man who ran the farthest was a nobleman in the ebony department, relying on the rhino dragon horse under his crotch was a different species, and his foot strength was extraordinary, and he fled to a hundred miles away, but in the end he was blocked by a few rangers and cut his head back.
After the battle, because of the need to clean up the battlefield and the need for temporary repairs, Yan Liqiang also let the army be stationed in Yeniuping.
If there are not many Shatu people killed this time, naturally there is no need to clean up any battlefield, the wild wolves and jackals roaming the grassland, and the vultures flying in the sky are enough to consume those corpses, but this big victory directly eliminated 40,000 Shatu people, the number is too much, if these 40,000 corpses are left alone, after a long time, I am afraid that there may be a plague, for the sake of the future, it is still necessary to clean up the battlefield, especially to bury the corpses that died on the main battlefield.
All the corpses were counted, counted, and then their ears were cut off, and then they were buried in a pit on the battlefield nearby! Not only Yan Liqiang and his people were busy working, but also many people from the nearby rangers and militia groups took the initiative to come over to help after seeing them.
And a lot of rangers and militia members who came to help, will inquire about the situation of the archers by the way, the battle of the archers during the day, really subverted many people's inherent impression of the war, more than 10,000 archers, in the blink of an eye, the 40,000 Shatu cavalry was killed in defeat, and they fled in defeat, they didn't seem to have any casualties, such a result was simply a miracle on the battlefield, no one dared to think that there would be such a result, I'm afraid even those storytellers didn't dare to make it up like this, but this is the kind of thing, but it happened alive under the noses of those rangers and militia groups, I don't know how many people saw it, So in just a short period of time, this matter spread, and the rangers and militia who followed Yan Li's powerful army almost knew about it, and it was difficult for people not to be curious.
Outside the camp of the army, pits are being dug and corpses are buried, and in the camp, it is also lively, and there is an atmosphere that is more warm than the New Year.
In today's war, the rangers and militias who have won the heads of the Shatu people rushed to the camp in batches, and took out the heads they had captured, and there were special officers and scribes in the camp, and after the inventory was confirmed, they cut off the ears of the heads, and then directly issued strips with military seals to those rangers and militias, and those rangers and militias took those strips, as long as they returned to Baishiguan, they could be exchanged for the title deeds of the grassland gongtian, which saved a lot of things at once.
Today, those fleeing Shatu people, at least tens of thousands of people died at the hands of those rangers and militia groups, which is completely more than the gains of Gong Tieshan, Wang Naiwu and Zhao Dachuan, who led the army to chase and kill, and the credit is not small.
It is easiest to beat the water dogs, those rangers and militias who came to the camp to receive the strips, one by one, they happily harvested the first generous gift they followed the army out of the customs, and today's big victory, not only made the morale of the army led by Yan Liqiang boiling, but also suddenly made the large number of rangers and militia groups who followed Yan Liqiang all the way have great confidence in the army led by Yan Liqiang.
Faith is something that cannot be seen or touched, but in many cases, it can have a huge and profound impact on human behavior.
......
When the sun set, Zhao Dachuan Lei Meng and several other captains of the Ganzhou Army came to the outside of Yan Liqiang's tent, and just now, Gong Tieshan and Wang Naiwu also walked over from the other side, and several people happened to meet outside the big tent.
Wang Naiwu laughed, "What a coincidence, does Lord Zhao also have something to come to Lord Guardian?"
"Yes, the results of the Ganzhou Army have just been statistically confirmed and reported, I'll report to the Governor, are the two of you?" Zhao Dachuan also smiled, his mood was extremely comfortable, although they were not the protagonists of this big victory, but there were a lot of heads captured and harvested in the end, and the officers and men in the army were all happy, and he was naturally not in a bad mood.
"Hmm!"
"Let's be together, then!"
"Okay, let's go in together!"
Several officers smiled and came to the door of the big tent together, and asked Yan Liqiang's guards who were guarding outside the tent to go in and report it.
"My lords, the Lord Guardian is not in the tent!" the guard guarding the door of the tent shook his head.
"Ah, my lord is not in the big tent, where did he go?" Wang Naiwu asked.
The guard pointed to the camp of the archers not far away, "The Lord Guardian just left the big tent and went to the camp over there, and when the Lord left, he explained that if a few adults come, he can directly bring a few adults over and listen to the battle summary of the archers......"
It's okay if the guard doesn't say it, so to speak, Zhao Dachuan and several other officers looked at each other, they were all confused, battle summary, what battle summary, this new term, several old martial arts have never heard of it, Gong Tieshan's eyebrows moved, with a self-righteous expression on his face, turned his head to Zhao Dachuan and the others and said, "Oh, it should be that today's battle is too beautiful, Lord Guardian will reward the sergeant at the archery camp, let's go, let's go over and have a look......"
Zhao Dachuan nodded, "Well, it should be it, at this time, it is estimated that Lord Guardian is happy, and he has no heart to stay in the big tent!"
The guards who spoke just glanced at a few officers, and did not explain what the battle summary was, but directly took Zhao Dachuan and a few people to the bow and cavalry camp.
As soon as they came to the camp of the archer battalion, a few people didn't go far, just turned a few tents, and saw Yan Liqiang and a cadre of the archer battalion who were summarizing the battle on a piece of grass, the lineup startled Zhao Dachuan and a few people, more than 100 people sat in a circle on the grass, as if they were in a meeting, and the people who participated, at least were officers above the small flag in the bow and cavalry camp, and many young small flag officers were sitting on the ground, still holding a notebook in their hands, and then while listening, they were recording something with a pen sharpened from a carbon core.
Shi Changfeng, Shen Teng and Shi Dafeng were also sitting on the ground like everyone else, and the one who was standing in the middle of the circle was talking at the moment, it was Yan Liqiang with a serious face, Yan Liqiang's side, and a simple wooden folding blackboard, on which some words were written, some arrow-like diagrams were drawn, and in his hand, he was also holding a white plaster pen......
"...... commendable merits I have just said, below, I will talk about the problems exposed by this big victory, there are two main problems, one is the tactical level, the other is the psychological level, I will talk about the latter first, this big victory, exposed that our biggest problem is still the light enemy, why do you say that, because of this battle, the number of wounded in our five archer battalions is 56 people, of which these 56 people, only 35 were really injured by the archers of the Shatu people in the battle, and none of them were seriously injured, and how 21 people were injured, they were injured when cleaning the battlefield, many Shatu people were pretending to be dead, or the injuries were not serious, and the ability to counterattack, but some of our sergeants, under the big victory, in the process of cleaning the battlefield too light the enemy, not completely in accordance with our previous experience, so they were injured by those lightly injured or pretending to be dead Shatu people, we have said many times before, there are two rules to follow the rules of cleaning the battlefield, the first rule is to clean the battlefield at least to take the squad as a unit of collective action, to prevent a single person from leaving the team, the second rule is to clean the battlefield, if you see the enemy who fell to the ground on the vital point there are no arrows and obvious fatal wounds, or see the enemy who falls to the ground overlapping, never approach easily, you should first replenish the arrow, and then approachToday's 21 soldiers who were injured while cleaning the battlefield were the result of not paying attention to these two rules, which could have been completely avoided......
"Zhao Zhigang, as a Qu Commander, you are also an old student in the Archery Society, this time when you were cleaning up the battlefield, 5 of the 21 people who were injured were from the troops you led, this number is the highest among the five battalions, do you have anything to say?"
With Yan Liqiang's roll call, a young archer officer in his twenties stood up with a look of shame, "This is my problem, I didn't emphasize it in my usual training, when I was cleaning the battlefield on the first few missions, I found that some subordinate sergeants did not strictly follow the rules, but because there was no accident, I didn't correct it in time, this time there was an accident, I have nothing to say, and please punish the adults!"
"I have emphasized many times that as an officer of the Dragon Tooth Army, if you cherish your brothers, the first thing to do is to be responsible for their life safety, and the performance of responsibility is the strictest requirements, in the army, you are lenient with your brothers, it seems that you are good, I am good, everyone is good, but that is not cherished, it is harming them, in view of this problem, I will give you a demerit punishment, meritorious seniority pressure after a year, I hope that after this time, when you Qu Department holds a combat summary meeting, you can seriously reflect on and summarize, don't do it again next time, die on the battlefield, that is glorious, and die when cleaning the battlefield, that is stupid!”
"Yes, my subordinates remember, this time, I will lead the subordinates to seriously reflect and summarize, and strive to never make the same mistake again!"
"Well, sit down...... Yan Liqiang said, turned around, took out an eraser to erase all the words on the blackboard, and then began to draw drawings on the blackboard with the plaster pen in his hand," Now I will talk about the problem of tactical coordination of several battalions in this battle when pursuing the rout of the Shatu people, this issue is actually not prominent today, but I put it forward this time, I still hope to attract everyone's attention, you can think about it, when the enemy is several times larger than me and the rout, when is the best time for the archers to outflank and divide the tactics when the ......"
