Chapter 1414: Vietnamese Prisoners of War
When learning about the Tang Army's handling of this way, the Vietnamese army was indeed a little unbearable, and even resisted in the prisoner of war camp, our people naturally would not just watch the whip pass, and these people would know what the situation was now.
In the matter of choosing guards, Changsun Ze recruited a lot of local Han people to help, and our army is not in charge of these prisoners of war, and the local Han people are also bullied by these Yue and Jing people, and now it is finally a chance for you to take revenge.
At the beginning, many people didn't understand what they were doing, and thought that in this era of following the Tang Dynasty army to fight, as long as there was a mouthful of food at home, I was afraid that no one would want to let their old men go to the battlefield, and later I learned that they were going to the prisoner of war camp to watch these prisoners and let them work honestly according to the rules.
The local Han people immediately became interested, they are in the minority in this area, their number is only about a quarter, and the other two ethnic groups account for three-quarters, so the Han people are bullied, and now they can manage these people openly, and it doesn't matter if they hit the top a few times, even if they don't pay the salary, then they have to do this kind of work.
So in the first two days of recruitment, more than 5,000 Han people soon joined in, and their task was to manage nearly 40,000 prisoners, of course, this number is not fixed, and one or two thousand people will be added every day.
According to the rules of the Tang army, a Han guard only needs to watch ten captives, and a Tang soldier looks at ten Han guards, so that a Tang soldier can take care of a hundred local captives, anyway, these people are tied with one arm, and they don't have to worry about them rioting.
The most important thing is that these people have come down from the battlefield, they have also seen the fierceness of the Tang army, and now they don't have much heart to resist, not to mention what results do you have if you resist? Do you think you can run out around?
The pursuit of Wu Yuanhao has not stopped, and now Changsun Ze and Huo Quzhi are almost busy hitting the back of their heads, thinking that they can breathe a sigh of relief after taking the city, who knows that a large number of materials have been found in the city, and they still have to deal with these materials, and at the same time, they have to guard against the Vietnamese army to kill a horse gun, so these two people can't wait to pack up even the time to go to the toilet.
The original plan was to take Luo Cheng after there was no intention of continuing to develop to the south, and now this situation is even more impossible to develop to the south, although there are also a lot of people from the domestic side to support, but the local area is too chaotic, the army from the north, the original Vietnamese army, the local people, and various ethnic groups are hostile to each other, so if this area is not handled well, it is likely to bring a huge threat to our rear in the future.
However, these things can be solved, but the only thing that is not easy to solve is Wu Yuanhao, who retreated into the mountains and forests.
After two weeks of friction, the situation in the mountains and forests was basically clarified, Wu Yuanhao did enter the mountains and forests with a large number of troops, which should be within fifty miles of the vicinity, according to the information we have, the number of people who went in should be about 20,000, and most of them are elites.
People who live in Vietnam know that if you have a skill, then Lao Lin Zi is your happiest place, you can have whatever you want after you go in, and you don't have to worry about the threat of the government, but if you don't have that ability, it is estimated that you may lose your life in one day after you go in, and the dangers inside can be said to be everywhere.
When Wu Yuanhao led his subordinates in, he didn't force some people to go in, just because he brought more people and would become a burden, if he couldn't support himself after entering, wouldn't it bring all kinds of burdens to the entire army?
So before entering the old forest, Wu Yuanhao also held a meeting for his subordinates, if you think you don't have that ability, either you continue to run south, or you go to the Tang army to surrender, anyway, there are other ways to go, don't come to harm me.
According to the information investigated, Changsun Ze and Huo Qubing also knew that it would be difficult to get out of the 20,000 people who went in, and we would have to fight a long war with them in the future, and it would not be easy to get them out in a short period of time, and if we went in, our casualties would continue to increase.
"Report to Lord Duhu, report to General, the Vietnamese rout attacked our army escorting prisoners northeast of Luo Cheng, seriously wounded fifteen people, lightly wounded two people, and killed one in battle..."
When Changsun Ze and Huo Qubing were studying tactics in the tent, the people outside had already sent the news of the first attack on our logistics line, and after these people entered the mountains and forests, it was naturally impossible for them to stay honestly inside, they were based on the mountains and forests, relying on us not being able to enter, and then attacking our military camps and transport teams everywhere, in short, they would fight wherever there were weaknesses.
During the Han Dynasty, there were also troops coming over, and in the end they were not conquered, it is because of this that your army is uniform, their army is dozens of people, and the only team is running around in the mountains and forests, if you want to catch them, it is really a little difficult, Huo Quzhi's men are already the elite of mountain warfare, but after they all enter, I am afraid they are not their opponents.
"A bad start has just begun, and it looks like we're about to enter a new era of warfare."
Changsun Ze's face was full of bitterness, the reason why he attacked the city quickly was that he didn't want to see all this in front of him, but he didn't expect more than 20,000 people to enter. Thinking about the more than 20,000 people who were divided into hundreds of squads to attack us, Sun Ze, the head of the logistics line, felt uncomfortable all over his body, and the battle was obviously won, but this result was still unacceptable.
"I have calculated their combat strength, and if I lead my brothers in, I estimate that I will be able to defeat their main force within three months, but our casualties will be more than 8,000."
Huo Qubing has been studying mountain warfare, but Li Xiang is not willing to let them fight like this, this army is not easy to train, if it is lost in the mountains and forests like this, it is really a pity, this is the originator of mountain warfare in the Tang army.
