Chapter 354: The Rain Mist Road is bad and muddy, and the wood and stones are all over the place

In this battle between the Xuanwu Army and the Taining Army, the highlight part is that the armored cavalry group rushes straight to the spear formation.

However, the pinnacle of battle intent was the hand-to-hand fight of the two jiedu envoys, and between the lightning and flint, the men and horses were staggered.

A great head soared into the sky, and the victory or defeat was already known at this moment.

The tide of armored cavalry continued to break through the spear array, pouring into the Taining Army's Chinese array, knocking and trampling everything that stood in its way.

Between the iron hooves flying, the sound of fighting resounded in the sky.

In this kind of hand-to-hand melee, Li Yunze's effect of slashing Zhu Jin was not very conspicuous.

The battlefield was so chaotic and noisy, and the scale was so large, that the sergeants in the distance didn't know what was going on here.

But it doesn't matter, Li Yunze will let them know.

Under the gaze of the infinite admiration of the many armored horsemen who gathered over, Li Yunze beckoned everyone, "Scatter on all sides and shout to everyone together, Zhu Jin is dead, and Taining is defeated." ”

"Yui!"

Witnessing Li Yunze's heroic bravery in beheading the enemy's generals among the ten thousand troops, he was really admired by the armored cavalry.

Their morale was high and they scattered out, looking for their comrades, they shouted together, 'Zhu Jin is dead, Taining's army is defeated~~~'

It was like a stone thrown into a calm pond, and the ripples grew bigger and farther away.

The Taining Army, which had already been attacked by armored cavalry, heard the call and looked in the direction of the Chinese army, but they only saw armored cavalry everywhere, but there was no figure of the Chinese army, and they couldn't see the general banner of their Jiedu envoy.

There is no doubt that the morale of the army quickly fell and then gradually turned into a rout.

And once the rout on the battlefield begins, it can no longer be stopped.

The armored cavalry, which had the advantage of mobility, began to rush and drive in all directions in the battalion unit, tearing the Taining army into countless pieces.

This battle has reached this point, and the winner has been decided.

The Taining army, lacking mobility, was routed and surrounded by regiments.

A rout that has lost its organization and cannot form a formation will not be able to withstand the impact of armored cavalry.

When the Xuanwu army began to surrender, most of the defeated soldiers could only accept it helplessly.

If they don't accept it, they will charge through with an armored horse, and they will have to lie down and moisten the earth.

There were tens of thousands of people in the Taining Army, and in addition to those who died in battle on the spot, the rest basically became prisoners.

Successively defeated the Tianping Army and the Taining Army, and the morale under Li Yunze's command can be said to have swelled to the extreme.

Many generals and colonels have approached Li Yunze to ask for battle, hoping to make persistent efforts and continue to play the tactics of long-range raids to attack the more distant Wuning Army's Shi Pu Department from Pengcheng.

It's just that these invitations to fight were all rejected by Li Yunze.

It's not that he doesn't want to fight Shi Pu, but the current conditions don't allow it.

First of all, the distance is too far, and it is necessary to force the army to find Shi Pu from here for at least hundreds of miles, and in order to achieve the purpose of the raid, it is necessary to forcibly march. For the armored cavalry, which was already a continuous forced march and high-intensity combat, it was already difficult to hold on.

The second is the attrition of forced marches and high-intensity operations.

The army marches 100 miles and the one who fights for profit jumps on the general, and the one who fights for profit for 50 miles is half of the army.

The ancestors have long said it clearly, those who march 100 miles to compete with the enemy may lose their generals, and only half of the soldiers who march 50 miles to compete with the enemy can arrive.

Although the training equipment of the armored cavalry that Li Yunze single-handedly trained was extremely explosive, the number of people who had lost thousands of miles along the way and lost battle losses on the battlefield had already reached several thousand.

In terms of the degree of tolerance for soldiers' battle losses in the era of cold weapons, it has already exceeded the limit, and if it is not even for successive big victories, it is even possible that his own side will collapse first.

The final reason was that too many captives had been captured, and it would take a lot of people to guard them.

The foot soldiers of the Xuanwu Army are still desperately rushing here, but according to the distance, they can't come in ten days and half a month.

Tens of thousands of prisoners of the Tianping Army and the Taining Army, Li Yunze had to be guarded by heavy soldiers.

You must know that most of these captives are professional warriors, not outcasts who can't eat.

After comprehensive consideration, Li Yunze chose to eat the fruits of victory first, instead of breaking a stick like a dog and a bear, and all the broken pieces fell to the ground.

"Temperance."

A general said to Li Yunze, "There are too many prisoners, why don't you reduce Ding?" ”

Hearing this, Li Yunze looked at this like a ghost. After a moment, he waved his hand and told him to stand down.

The so-called reduction of Ding is completely literal.

If there are too many prisoners, the number of prisoners will be reduced, and the way to reduce the number of prisoners is, of course, to reduce them with a horizontal knife.

"This era." Li Yunze shook his head again and again, "It's really a good person who will go crazy, the Holy Mother will fall, and the saint will be blackened." ”

Tens of thousands of people, a sentence of subtraction will be given, this is the normal state of this troubled world.

"I don't know how to revere life at all." Li Yunze sighed repeatedly: "No matter what era it is, talent is the most important cornerstone. No one has nothing, and all land and materials are meaningless existences. The population is so precious that from birth to growing up at least ten

Years of dedication, one knife to ga..."

Whenever there are troubled times, there will always be heroes who stand up to end the troubled times, which is not only the ability of the heroes, but also the inevitable result of people's minds.

After all, no one wants to live in an era where they can be karma at any time, and they are taken for granted.

There is only one head, and if it is gone, it is really gone, and it will not grow again.

The suggestion of his subordinates to reduce the number of soldiers also made Li Yunze determined to suspend the war and solve the matter in front of him first.

Li Yunze will not reduce his size, but he will not raise tens of thousands of captives in vain.

He initiated a conscription among the captives, and those who were willing to join the Xuanwu Army and wanted him to be loyal could participate in the army entrance test.

Those who have passed the test of joining the army are regular soldiers, and they have all kinds of money, food, and money.

failed to pass the test for joining the army, but performed well in the auxiliary army, and the supply of money, food, and money was halved, waiting for the opportunity to turn positive.

As for the rest, it can only be a people's husband.

If you don't want to do it, you can't do it, Li Yunze doesn't raise idlers here, and if you don't do things, you won't have anything to eat.

The men were quickly mobilized to repair the wounds caused by the battlefield, at least by replanting the destroyed fields.

As for whether it is effective or not, we must at least put out our attitudes and actions first.

After that, it was to expand and maintain the road, that is, to build an official road.

In ancient times, in addition to the Qin Straight Road, which cost countless manpower and material resources, the official roads of other dynasties were closer to the city, and the roads were paved with some gravel and yellow sand.

And bluestone paved roads like Suzaku Street are all image projects that cost national strength, and there is only one in the world.

The real official road is the legendary three-foot soil on a sunny day and a muddy road on a rainy day.

And because of the long-term rutting and erosion of rainwater, not to mention the potholes on the official road, there are also large pits everywhere that can directly bury people.

With such traffic conditions, it is no wonder that the speed of the march cannot be raised.

As in Bianzhou and Songzhou, Li Yunze began to urge the people to build roads.

In ancient times, road construction was a very labor-intensive thing, even Qin Zhidao used hundreds of thousands of laborers, and it took countless people to build it little by little by cooking clods.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Yunze to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to build roads in steaming soil, the person who did this last time was called Yang Guang, and then he was gagged.

He brought generators and stone crushers from the modern world, which he used to drive the crushers to crush large pieces of mined stone into small pieces.

Then, with the marked cement purchased from the modern world, the cement mortar is made to pave the concrete road with a slightly higher middle and a lower side.

Because of the lack of large-scale machinery, the work that the construction team of a few hundred people could complete in a few days has not been completed for half a month by tens of thousands of people on Li Yunze's side.

Of course, this is a comparison with the modern world, and of course there is no comparison.

In terms of the late Tang Dynasty, it was already an astonishing speed.

Moreover, it is not a traditional dirt road, but an authentic cement road that first digs deep into the foundation, lays gravel and gravel to lay a foundation, and pours concrete.

Although the people of Datang don't know what is called cement concrete cement road, they have eyes and legs. You can see the road after drying, and you can feel comfortable walking on it.

Drainage ditches are built on both sides of the concrete road, and all trees must be planted at least five meters away.

The road built by Li Yunze centered on Cao County, leading to Bianzhou in the west, Songzhou in the south, Yanzhou in the east, and Yunzhou in the north.

The fastest to build is naturally the road to Yanzhou.

After all, the Taining Army was beheaded by Li Yunze in the midst of the ten thousand troops, and it had already spread with the tongues of the defeated soldiers, and his reputation could be called famous all over the world.

And the Taining Army, which has lost the Jiedu envoy and most of the soldiers and horses, is a ripe fruit, and Li Yunze needs to reach out and pick it.

There is another advantage to taking Yanzhou, that is, to cut off the connection between Zhu Xuan and Shi Pu.

The news of Li Yunze's victory over the Tianping Army and the Taining Army had already reached the ears of Shi Pu, the envoy of the Wuning Army.

Without the slightest hesitation, he took Wu Ningjun to turn around, and returned to Pengcheng all the way to stay guarded.

To tell the truth, Shi Pu was really frightened by Li Yunze's powerful strength that easily defeated the strong soldiers of the two towns as if it were devastating.

Two days! Two towns were drawn!

In this era when the basic unit of measurement of war is the month, this powerful combat power is too amazing.

When the infantry brigade from Bianzhou finally rushed over, Li Yunze immediately handed over the work of guarding the people and fusing the prisoners of war from the two towns before the training to the foot soldiers.

As for himself, he took the armored cavalry who had finally been freed from many affairs, and went straight to Yanzhou.

Here in Yanzhou, as early as when the news of Zhu Jin's defeat and death came back, a civil strife had already broken out.

A group of Taining soldiers who stayed in the city gave full play to the traditional virtues of the warriors of this era and raised troops to besiege Zhu Jin's family.

Zhu Jin's son Zhu Yongzhen and others were hacked to death in the chaos, and his wife was arrested.

The purpose of the rebels was very simple, Zhu Jin's people were all killed in battle, and the main force of the Taining Army was also wiped out.

With the rest of them, how could they be able to resist Li Yunze's offensive.

So they rebelled in order to surrender to Li Yunze.

If you can't beat it, you can vote, which is also a traditional skill of this era.

Zhu Yongzhen in history dedicated Yanzhou City to Zhu Wen when his son Zhu Jin went out to look for food.

When Li Yunze came to Yanzhou City with his soldiers and horses, the city gate was wide open, and the defenders took the initiative to go out of the city to surrender.

After entering the city, Li Yunze took over the city defense, especially the generals and colonels of the Taining Army who took the lead in the rebellion, and sent them away with a huge amount of money.

After getting dark, Li Yunze, who was busy with work, came to the Jiedu Mansion, which originally belonged to Zhu Jin.

When he opened the door and was about to eat, he was stunned to see a beautiful woman in the house.

After inquiry, it was found that it was Zhu Jin's wife.

Looking at the beauty in front of him, Li Yunze rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "It can't be Zhu Jin's nephew who wants to learn Zhang embroidery, right?" ”
