Chapter 658: Reward
The battle lasted for an hour, from Zhao Yun's army formation to the army under the Baihua Mountains on the front line, and the flow of people shuttled like weaving.
The wounded were constantly sent down, and the officers at the front were constantly sending the enemy's banners to return the service, and the entire battlefield situation suddenly reached a climax.
At this time, Zhao Yun was constantly cruising in various positions of the battle line with his commanded cavalry, constantly boosting the morale of all armies.
And the appearance of Zhao Yun did make the battalions of Taishan Army courageous, previously, although they were not directly subordinate to the command of this small uncle, but they sincerely admired this brave and good warrior.
People will compare themselves, if they are the king's brother-in-law, they will have stayed in the rear to mix up military exploits, how can they start from the grassroots like Zhao Yun, go to the front line in person, and do not avoid arrows.
But looking at the officials who were moving forward, Zhao Yun, who was galloping on horseback, frowned.
Just now, he saw such a scene:
There were three officers who were pushing and crashing the car and preparing to storm the door of the enemy barracks, but the arrows on the opposite side were so sharp and dense that they could only push more than ten steps before one of the officers fell to the ground with an arrow.
And the people over there fell, and the remaining two continued to push, and did not stop. But it wasn't long before the remaining two were also hit by arrows and fell to the ground, and the crashed car was parked on the battlefield.
But soon, three more people came up from behind, they held up the cards, and rushed towards the crash car, and with the efforts of the three people, the crash car finally pushed through the killing field and crashed into the camp gate opposite.
During the whole process, everyone looked calm, as if they were not in a bloody battlefield but a farmland, and they were pushing a plough cart instead of a crash.
After that, the three officers who were wounded and fell to the ground were sent to the rear by the stretcher team in the rear, and the entire battlefield process was not affected in the slightest.
When Zhao Yun saw this scene, he was both proud and sad.
The pride is that the system of the Taishan Army is reasonable, using stretcher teams to transport the wounded, so that the front-line officials will not have to carry the wounded down to the front line, so the Taishan Army can maintain a high combat efficiency.
Zhao Yun is also proud that after all these years of conquest, the officials of the Taishan Army have become very accustomed to such a battlefield situation and are at ease.
But Zhao Yun is also sad here.
Such a good man is going to die on this nameless battlefield, yes, Lu County is really important, and the necessary casualties in order to take Lu County are acceptable.
But looking at the whole world, how many places like Luxian are there that must be fought for? If there is such a bloody fight, how many lives will it take.
At this moment, Zhao Yun really understood why Taixue Zheng Tao Di once said: "It is advisable to take the world as soon as possible." ”
Just thinking of this, Zhao Yun sighed:
"But it's a pity that these stubborn local tyrants and remnants of the Han family refuse to be arrested!"
Thinking of this, Zhao Yun suddenly ordered:
"Order the Good Archery Army to shoot at the front barrier!"
The left guard of the original Flying Leopard Army under Zhao Yun was a sudden horseman, but there were many people who could ride and shoot immediately, and at this moment, Zhao Yun ordered to shoot dense arrows from behind him, covering the top of the barrier, arousing a wail.
The Taishan soldiers in front saw the main general personally helping, and the arrows of the friendly troops were fast and accurate, and they cheered one after another.
But Zhao Yun can only do it here, this battlefield is very large, and there are many troops that need his support firepower. Therefore, seeing the figure that was already clinging to the camp in front of him, Zhao Yun turned his horse's head and galloped towards the south.
Since the development of the Taishan Army, the tactical establishment of the army has often been constantly adjusted according to the geography and specific enemy situation, but the overall division of functions has not changed much.
For example, although Zhao Yun's current crane control army is also the latest training, it still has five functional arms: Hu Army, Trap Formation, Selection, Assault Cavalry, and Infantry Armor.
Zhang Chong, as the founder of the Taishan Army, his personal style determined the development of the military system of the Taishan Army.
From the very beginning, the Tarzan army paid special attention to armor and bows.
In terms of tactics, whenever the blades meet, the one who wears heavy armor and holds the blade is ordered to be the leader, and the person who is good at shooting in half armor is attacked from behind, and the elite soldiers stand in other places to watch, do not order to dismount, and respond to it when it is too late.
It is in this tactic that the current five major branches of the Taishan Army are derived.
First of all, it is the most important soldier.
The function of the soldiers is to subordinate the main general, and they are the most elite of an army. For example, a military general of Zhao Yun's level has a hundred soldiers.
These people are all dressed in bright mercury armor, and they are the most prominent among the hosts. These people are in the back, and the formation is in the middle, and they are under the lord's tent to the left and right.
And Zhao Yun's soldiers surrounded Zhao Yun tightly at this time, always vigilant against the stray arrows shot around the battlefield.
These hundred-man cavalry were all dressed in bright mercury armor, and their whole body shone in the sunlight. And as long as the officials of each battalion saw this large group of elite armor coming in the sun, they knew that Zhao Yun was coming.
In addition to these 100 soldiers, Zhao Yunbu also has a trap of about 200 to 300 people, and the main general is Han Dang.
Listing the pawns in battle as a special part is also a characteristic of the Taishan Army.
These people are actually the soldiers directly under Zhao Yun, but unlike the soldiers, the trap is specially used as the general preparation of the main general to carry out the task of determining the outcome of the battle.
Therefore, like the soldiers, these people are the most elite troops in the whole army, and they will only be put into the battlefield at the most critical time.
Just like just now, Zhao Yun saw that Xu Shengbu in the front camp couldn't support it, so he immediately threw Han Dang's trap there.
That's where the trapped army comes in.
And in addition to Hu Jun and the trap directly belonging to Zhao Yun, he also has a "selection of fronts" in his hand.
The selection of the front was actually the result of the decentralization of the foreign division of the flying army back then.
At that time, the number of Taishan troops was still small, and the war to deal with was not complicated, so the whole army was unified into one part for use, and it was temporarily deployed to various armies.
But now, as the battlefield situation becomes more and more complicated, the commanders of the Taishan Army need to understand the battlefield information in a timely manner, so they specially delegate You Yi to the various armies and organize them as the selection front.
The so-called selector, the sentinel is also.
At the beginning of Zhang Chong's use of troops, he attached great importance to releasing scouts from afar and detecting the enemy's situation. During the prescribed march, there should be a sentry every ten miles, and sixty miles in a row.
And those who can be used as the selection of the front of the army are all elite, such as Tai Shi Ci came all the way out of the selection of the front, and there are many people who were born like Tai Shi Ci and killed from the selection of the front, and they are strong and persistent.
It can be said that the cradle of fierce generals in the army is none other than the selection of forwards.
However, the number of candidates is not large, taking Zhao Yunzhi's control of the crane army as an example, there are only fifty drafters in the first army.
The main reason for this is to be able to shoulder the responsibility of selecting a sentinel, in addition to superb equestrian skills, brave temperament, but also familiar with the geography of mountains and rivers, and most importantly, wisdom.
Because the confrontation between the sentinels of the two armies is often a test of wisdom and ingenuity, in order to catch the enemy and inquire about the reality of the enemy camp, the sentinels of the enemy and us are always ambushing and counter-ambushing, constantly playing games.
This kind of fierce mental confrontation is not capable of being the best among people.
In addition to the special types of troops, such as soldiers, traps, and fronts, there are more infantry armor and assault cavalry.
Taking the Crane Control Army as an example, the total number of troops in the army was 5,000, but the actual number was 4,326. The sum of the soldiers, traps, and fronts is about 500 people, and the rest are assault cavalry and infantry armor.
And the number of ordinary infantry armor is three times that of the assault horse.
The infantry can be divided into five battalions, namely the front, rear, left, right, and center, and the number of people in each battalion ranges from 600 to 800.
Generally speaking, the strength of each battalion is about 1,000 men, but in fact, aside from the baggage soldiers, clerical officers, and some casualties on the march, the actual number of each battalion is different in each battle.
For example, Xu Sheng's front battalion, as the leading battalion, lost and lost troops after many days of marching and fighting, and the actual number of soldiers was 764 when participating in the battle of Luxian.
But don't look at the small number of people, in fact, there is also a lot of cooperation among various arms. Rifles, knives, heavy soldiers, bows, and ballistas are all available. The tactics are also constantly coordinated with the long, medium, and near, and it can be said that they are very effective in combat.
So far, Zhao Yun has released all the three battalions of infantry armor in his hand, and there is no reserve left, but what about the results?
Just look at the battle flags of the enemy under the Baigu Ridge on the opposite side, which are constantly falling.
And what has not fought so far is the last soldier in Zhao Yun's hands, and it is also his old subordinate, the assault cavalry.
The turquoise cavalry is the most powerful of the arms of the Taishan Army, and it is also the invincible trump card of the Taishan Army today.
Now Zhao Yun kept the sudden horse in his hand, which was specially used to intercept the reinforcements that might go out of the city in Lu County in the northeast.
In addition to this role, if the front infantry armor is weak in attacking the wall, Zhao Yun can also let the turquoise cavalry dismount the horse and set up the formation, which can be used as the second echelon to continue the attack.
And more importantly, once the enemy army retreats, these assault cavalry can immediately chase after them on horseback and expand the results of the battle.
No, Zhao Yun had just taken the assault horse to the south to support, and suddenly a team of selected forwards came from the north and reported:
"Commander, there is an enemy army retreating from the barrier under the ridge and is retreating in the direction of Luxian."
And along with this news, the enemy fortress in front of them suddenly made a loud victory, and someone was constantly shouting:
"The enemy commander is dead, abandon his weapons and don't kill!"
After hearing the news clearly, Zhao Yun didn't take it seriously, but just ordered a sudden cavalry general and asked him to take two hundred people to cover up and kill them, so as not to let them enter the city.
After that, Zhao Yun ordered the rest of the cavalry to rush towards the camp in front.
This battle is won!
……
As Liu Chong's heavy arrow fell from the chariot, the morale of the entire Shangdang army suddenly declined.
The original high morale will be like being hit by a heavy hammer and lying on the ground.
After the gorgeous chariot evacuated the camp with Liu Pet in tow, those Shangdang troops also withdrew like a tide.
But this time, these people have no safe rear.
Under the command of Zhao Yun, the barriers under the ridge were attacked by the Taishan army at the same time, and more and more Taishan troops had entered the camp.
As a result, the two sides fought chaotically again.
was attacked before and after, and the life and death of the soul character Liu Pet were uncertain, and the result after this melee was naturally doomed.
More and more Shangdang soldiers began to abandon their blades and surrendered to the Taishan army in droves.
The battalions under the ridge also began to insert the apricot yellow daxu belonging to the Taishan army one after another.
And after breaking the camps under the ridge, the units began to select sharp troops to attack the ridge and the mountain after a short pause.
Under the command of the military advisor Luo Jun, these Shangdang soldiers swore to resist to the death.
But whether it is in terms of hard power or morale, the Taishan army has crushed these party troops, so all the officials and soldiers under the leadership of the battalion general Xu Sheng shouted together, bravely attacked, killed more than 100 party soldiers, and successfully rushed to the mountain pass.
After that, the Shangdang soldiers retreated into Baigu Mountain, and resisted and left, Xu Sheng's fighting spirit was high, and they fought with the enemy.
Between the mountains, bows and arrows thundered, roaring like thunder. At three o'clock in the battle, the enemy finally couldn't hold on, and Luo Jun was about to withdraw from behind the mountain.
But long before that, another battalion general, Kong Duo, led his subordinates to go around the narrow path between the two mountains to the back of the mountain and occupy the favorable terrain.
When Luo Jun and the others appeared, they were directly cut off. At this time, Xu Shengbu came to kill again, and since then the party army has no way out.
Except for Luo Jun, who committed suicide in the valley, the rest of the troops abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
This battle of Baiguling was the most sinister battle personally commanded by Zhao Yun since he joined the army. The corpses filled the mountain gorge, and the camp was red.
But the results achieved are also brilliant, from the dawn of the sky to the present day, the battle for half a day to pull out the Baigu Mountain wall carefully built by the party soldiers.
It can be said that until the battle has been fought, there is no problem for the Taishan army to take Luxian.
But unfortunately, that Liu pet was not taken down.
It turned out that Xuan Feng You Yi sent information that a soldier had withdrawn to Lu County, but in fact, that army was Chen Wang Liu Chong.
The commando commander appointed by Zhao Yun to intercept him was too small to intercept Liu Chong, and finally let most of them flee back to the city.
However, the news reported by the cavalry general said that Liu Pet was not seen during the volley, and most of this person was either dead or seriously injured.
At this point, the outer battlefield of Luxian County has entered the final stage.
Zhao Yun ordered the heavy soldiers to clean up the camp under the ridge as a camp behind him on the one hand, and on the other hand to step up the rescue of the wounded.
And in addition to cooking, the most important thing for Zhao Yun now is to reward meritorious service.
A very important way for the Taishan army to maintain morale and fighting spirit is to reward them for their military achievements.
This battle, after the evaluation of Gong Cao:
Shi Jiang Ge Han, Zhang Qiong, Sun Wang, and Hou Chen took the lead in climbing the wall and talked about merit. Reward horses, mules five, oxen ten, brocade ten horses, cloth one hundred and fifty horses, felt, special gold medal "first".
Even Sima Dan, Song Xian, Yu Wengui, and Fan Hu climbed the wall second, and talked about their work. Reward horses, mules each four, eight oxen, five satin, cloth hundred, special silver medal "Erden".
All of the above are the achievements of climbing the wall, and they are all fierce lower-level military officials and samurai. There are not only military merits, but also actual rewards, as well as honors.
After that, the merit of capturing the flag was killed, and thirty-six people were rewarded, all of whom were brave men who emerged from various armies, among which Sergeant Dou Tai won the head of Luo Jun, an important figure in the enemy army, in addition to a reward, he was awarded the "Chengxin Lang" number, and obtained the qualification to enter the Yecheng Martial Arts School.
The Taishan Army has regulations on the classification of military ministers, which can be roughly divided into eight orders for small military ministers and eighteen orders for large military ministers. And Cheng Xinlang is the lowest-ranking military minister, but it is also a transformation from a pawn to a official.
Dou Tai did not have martial arts before, so although he was appreciated by Han Dang and could have the position of a team general, he did not have the title of a military minister. Until now, it is barely considered a virtuous match.
Not to mention that Dou Tai also got the opportunity to enter the Yecheng Martial Arts Academy, and once he can successfully graduate from it, he can become a general.
Dou Tai is now a team general, and he doesn't seem to be promoted highly, but in fact, he directly skips the level of the little martial artist and enters the sequence of the big martial minister, which can be said to be a real bright future.
Don't look at Dou Tai when he learned that he had won this opportunity, the whole person cried. If it weren't for the comfort of his old boss Han Dang, the whole person wouldn't know how to lose his temper!
For this kind of naturalized miscellaneous hu, being able to enter the martial arts academy means that it is truly accepted, and it is the core seed of the Taishan Army.
And over there, more fortunate than Dou Tai, the Celestial Hu Rule.
Although Liu Chong's body was not obtained in this battle, under the joint evidence of the battalion general Xu Sheng and the trapping general Han Dang, Gong Cao still gave Hu Lu a special evaluation of military merits.
The treatment of this military exploit is the same as that of Dou Tai, and he is also rewarded with "Chengxin Lang" and admitted to the Yecheng Martial Arts School.
It can be said that the trapper who was originally just a nobody stood up in an instant, and the future is promising.
Who in the army does not envy these meritorious servicemen? But in addition to envy, who doesn't like to watch this kind of drama that was once famous and known to the whole army?
Therefore, every time a samurai was rewarded, the whole army was singing and cheering.
Outside Lu County, there is a lot of vitality and competition.
Until the southwest, in the direction of Sanzhuigang, two Xuan Feng You Yi appeared outside the camp covered in blood, and they gave Zhao Yun's victory pocket a basin of cold water.
