Chapter 70: After the Great Victory

The victory of Shizhongling, the whole army was surprised, but also jubilant, and the imperial court even issued several commendation orders, from the commander to the soldiers, and the rewards were not stingy, which can be described as extremely rich.

But for the Liuli Army, which is the key to the surprise attack on Shichongling, it was unexpectedly not mentioned, perhaps before the establishment of the Liuli Army was completely solved, it is estimated that even the imperial court did not know how to deal with this team, that is, it was impossible to recognize his independent command status, and it could not be arbitrarily punished on the joints of the morale after the victory, so the best way was to temporarily abandon it.

At this time, the old marshal Peng Mianzhao instead announced the independent status of the Liuli Army, and the commander of the Liuli Army was directly appointed as Xiao Yue, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that Xiao Yue is only the nominal commander, and now this kind of Liuli Army is a team gathered around Lin Qi, but such a result was determined after careful consideration by the old marshal.

Before the appointment was issued by the Ministry of War, although the old marshal's behavior was somewhat overstepping, as the commander of the entire Northern Army, Peng Mianzhao had such privileges and qualifications, appointing Xiao Yue as the commander of the Liuli Army, when determining the autonomous status of the Liuli Army, it could also block the mouths of the vast majority of people, after all, Xiao Yue was a registered Dahua general, as Qin Feiling's deputy, in the case that the commander was temporarily unable to command, such a promotion was actually logical.

As for who the real commander is, it is estimated that the Liuli Army also has its own conclusion, after all, after experiencing the Battle of Shizhongling, someone's ability and command have also been seen by the whole army in the eyes, so that as long as there is no objection in the Liuli Army, the other troops are naturally not good to say something, in this way, the Liuli Army and the officers and men must also be able to unite as one, kneaded into a strong combat force, and then become an indispensable existence in the war against the grassland.

Although everyone didn't understand why the old marshal suddenly supported the Liuli Army so strongly, but for his order, there was no way to change it, and those who disagreed could only hope that the military department would give a different answer, but even if they didn't know how the military department would choose, if it was Emperor Yang, it would probably give the old marshal a face.

But then again, the victory of Shizhongling is indeed an extraordinary victory, perhaps it is not an exaggeration to call it the most important victory achieved by the Dahua Army since the beginning of the war, many generals were shocked, but also re-evaluated the combat power of the Liuli Army, however, in addition to the courage and courage of the commander of the Liuli Army, they were confused about the way to achieve victory, because in their opinion, such a method is simply impossible to achieve!

But the reality is that they did win, and at very little cost.

"In the battle of Shizhongling, 500 people against more than 10,000 enemies, and counting the support of the two steppe tribes, the combat strength of a full 30,000 people can still achieve victory, although in the end it was because the army arrived that the enemy was completely annihilated, but these more than 500 people reduced their holdings for three hours, and the final number of casualties was only 100 people, if it was replaced by us, could it be done?"

Under the tent of the left army, the eldest prince and a group of generals sat in the tent, analyzing the battle of Shizhongling, although the battle began in the middle of the night, but when the main army arrived, it ended in a very short time.

In this operation, the right army, as the vanguard, rushed to the battlefield as soon as possible, while the left army only existed as a response, and by the time they were needed, the whole battle was over, so it can be said that the left army looked at this battle completely as a kind of spectator.

Not only did they wait to review the whole battle, but what they saw also shocked the generals of the left army.

"Yes...... Yes, after all, in the case of combat effectiveness, our troops have absolute confidence that they do not belong to anyone!"

Having said that, Mo Shichong, the general of the Left Army who said this, still doesn't seem as confident as usual.

"Haha, I didn't expect that even General Mo was already feeling the pressure, if it was a weekday, he wouldn't think about it at all, but drank it in one gulp. ”

Hearing Zhou Wensheng say this, Mo Shichong rarely did not refute, perhaps as he said, he really lacked enough certainty, after all, for such a huge battle with such a huge gap in numbers, no matter who commanded it, it is estimated that it will be difficult to do it.

500 against 10,000 enemies, a disparity of 20 times, but the casualties are only 100, how did you do it?!

Seeing that neither Mo Shichong nor Zhou Wensheng seemed to have enough confidence, the eldest prince Zhao Yun turned his head to look at General Bu Siqiong, who was sitting on the side and had been silent.

"General Bu, if it were you, how sure would you be?"

Hearing the eldest prince's question, Bu Siqiong raised his head, his eyes were firm, but his expression was indifferent, and he thought about it for a while, but he still shook his head.

"I'm not sure!"

Hearing that even Bu Siqiong said this, there was an uproar in the tent of the left army, and when everyone was shocked, they heard Bu Siqiong continue to speak.

"In terms of combat strength, I am confident enough to defeat the Liuli Army a lot, and even in a head-to-head battle, we can not lose anyone, but because of the problem of the composition of the troops, in such a battle, our army has no advantage, I think you should also understand the reason. ”

As far as the left army, which is composed entirely of cavalry, mountain combat is indeed a shortcoming, and even if you search for all the teams in the northern army, it is estimated that it is difficult to find an infantry unit like the Liuli Army that is very good at mountain combat.

"However, even so, if such a force is handed over to me to command, I am not sure that I will be able to reduce the casualties to less than a hundred, and this courage and courage alone will make me not as good as far away, so the Liuli Army is indeed a team worthy of admiration!"

Everyone knows that Bu Siqiong rarely admires others, and hearing him say this, everyone understands that they should really take a fresh look at this unit called the Liuli Army.

"Of course, you must know that among these five hundred people, there are still one hundred Sword Pavilion disciples, and there are already two hundred Xuanqi soldiers in it, and it is indeed very easy to deal with the grassland people who have no war horses! This kind of battle can really be regarded as completely liberating the combat power of this part of the people!" At this time, Zhao Yu, the seventh prince, who had not spoken all this time, suddenly spoke," What's more, the person who can pinch these people together and make full use of their characteristics, Lin Qi of the Liuli Army, is definitely a guy who can't be underestimated, and the last time he didn't have a chance to fight him, it really makes people regret it!"

After speaking, Zhao Yu suddenly sneered, a cold light flashed in his eyes, but it was extremely intimidating!

"It would be nice if I had another chance to face each other!"
