The Battle of Easy Water is over.

In this battle, Wang Jian lured the Yan Dynasty coalition army, ambushed them halfway, and at the same time captured the Yannan Great Wall with surprise troops.

Under the disadvantage, Zhao Jia's representative army was the first to evacuate, and the main generals of the Yan army, Prince Dan and Qin Wuji, also fled one after another, causing the entire Yan army to collapse.

Some of the Yan troops surrendered on the verge of battle, while the other part of the defeated army fled to Yishui, only to find that the retreat route had been cut off, and the Guancheng into Yan had been captured by the Qin army, and these Yan troops were slaughtered by the Qin army in hot pursuit, or forced to jump into the icy water......

The Qin army was the first to take the credit, and the merit was calculated based on the head of the enemy army.

Although Lü Buwei and Wei Yi successively put forward the "theory of volunteers", they did not advocate the large-scale massacre of enemy troops and expanded the ways of rewarding military merits in order to eliminate the will of the six countries to resist.

But it is only that there are fewer killings compared to the period of King Zhaoxiang, and war has never been related to charity, especially under the encouragement of military merit, not killing is not enough to satisfy the desire of soldiers to make meritorious contributions.

The entire system of military merit will also be shaken by this.

Therefore, when the Qin army sealed the sword, the corpses were already all over the place, and the flowing Yi Shui was stained red with blood.

The war came to an end, and an even more important moment began.

Military judges in the ministries began to count the number of beheadings.

Merit and punishment.

The first level is not simply calculated according to whoever cuts it first, and this simple rule is difficult to adapt to complex situations.

Fighting on the battlefield is not just a one-man battle.

For example, the black buttocks and the swallow pawn fought to the death, the black buttocks were about to be killed, at this time, Xiaobai stepped forward and stabbed the swallow pawn with a spear, and then the black buttocks seized the opportunity to kill the swallow pawn and cut off the head.

Ask, whose head does this head belong to?

If the head is given to the black buttocks, won't what Xiaobai did in vain?

It would be better to wait for his comrade to be killed and wounded by the enemy, and then he would take the opportunity to kill the enemy and cut off the opponent's head, wouldn't the credit be all his own?

There are many such situations, and the bloody battle on the battlefield is not to let the soldiers fight one-on-one, catch and kill each other.

It is often many-to-one, many-to-many, under the formation and Shiwu queue, a killed enemy army is often besieged by multiple Qin soldiers, you have a halberd and I have a spear, and no one can do it without it, so how to divide the heads if you kill someone?

There are also situations such as crossbowmen, long-range shooting and wounding of the enemy, how can the military merits of crossbowmen be counted? Could it be that the people shot wildly, killing many enemies, but in the end they didn't even have a head.

Like those warriors who went to the top of the city first, they contributed the most, and they didn't know how many people they killed when they went up, but they were killed by the enemy in the end, and in the end, he had no military merits if he didn't have a head, so he died in vain?

If there is a tun of Qin soldiers with the largest casualties and the most meritorious service, only a few wounded soldiers left, and the number of heads obtained is not enough to offset the punishment, and the wounded soldiers are not only useless but also punished, then who is willing to fight to the death in the future, what is this called fairness and justice.

Therefore, except for those cases where the enemy is really killed one-on-one, and there are witnesses that the ownership of the head is undoubted, the head in the melee of the military formation is generally scored by the amount of effort contributed in the battle.

Although not every military judge can be fair and impartial, in this case, it is the most appropriate and acceptable method.

Zhao Tuo's team of thousands of people, first of all, allocated the heads they got to those soldiers who rushed to the front, so that most of the people who died in battle got the title, after all, people fought bravely and even lost their lives, shouldn't they give a head and let their descendants inherit the title? There is no disagreement on this.

Of course, there are no unlucky dead people who have been confirmed to have not made meritorious contributions.

Zhao Tuo knew that in their tun, someone was squeezed and fell off the Great Wall, and this kind of death was really in vain.

Zhao Tuo's hundred-person team killed twenty-one people in this battle, but they got forty heads, not only the number of beheadings was more than the number of deaths, but also reached the standard of "profit theory", which could make their tun chief and hundred generals improve by one level.

Tunchang Liang Guang was promoted from the top to the hairpin, and the hundred generals Lu Wu was promoted from the hairpin to the non-change.

However, Liang Guangzhan died, and when the tun commander charged on the Great Wall, he took the lead and was stabbed to death by several Yan soldiers with spears.

His title can be inherited by descendants, and it is not that he is dead without value.

But Liang Guang's death plunged the people of Xintun into a crisis.

There is a saying in the "Binding Order": "Death grows long, and it deserves it; If you don't die, you will be rewarded; Death cannot be long, and it will be punished. ”

If one of his own officers dies in battle, his subordinate must kill an enemy officer of the same rank or higher in order to be punished.

As soon as Liang Guang died, on behalf of the people of Xintun, he had to take out the head of a Yan Juntun chief.

"Among the first levels you get, there can be more than a tun chief."

The military judge stared at the people in Xintun in front of him with a straight face.

However, the scene before them was somewhat unexpected by the military judge, and under normal circumstances, the soldiers should have been panicked in the face of their own questioning, or they would have been elated when they received the head of the commander.

The soldier in front of him had a strange expression, but he had never seen an expression before.

The military judge was displeased and said: "If the tun chief dies in battle, if you can't get the corresponding head, you will be punished in this battle." ”

"Yes, yes!"

A soldier lying on the ground, clutching his buttocks, screamed.

He shouted, "We killed one of them." ”

"Where's the chief? And don't take out the head yet. ”

"Our chief has been summoned by General Li!"

"General Lee?" The military judge's eyes widened.

"That's right, he killed a general, hee...... Ouch! ”

The soldier on the ground was triumphant, but he laughed and pulled the wound on his buttocks, and suddenly screamed in pain.

……

In the Yannan Great Wall, a temporary camp.

Zhao Tuo carried a bloody head and walked into the manager's tent.

Behind him, the two commanders' personal soldiers carried a headless corpse to follow, and blood was still dripping along the road.

The person killed by Zhao Tuo had an extraordinary identity, and he didn't have to cut off his head.

But he still cut it, because the scene was chaotic at that time, and he was afraid that if he didn't cut it, someone would take advantage of the chaos to steal it.

After all, this kind of head-grabbing thing really happened.

Li Xin stood in the tent, quietly waiting for Zhao Tuo.

On the side, Huan Zhao was reporting to him the casualties of the battle.

Li Xin raised his hand and silenced Huan Zhao.

He has already received a report that someone killed a general of the Yan army, but his identity is still being determined.

Li Xin was in a hurry, so he asked people to bring the bodies of Zhao Tuo and the general.

"You killed you?"

"Yui."

Zhao Tuo nodded, stepped forward and put the blood-stained human head on a few cases, and stood aside, waiting for the inspection of the main general.

Li Xin's gaze swept over the head of the person first, and fell on the headless corpse that was carried in from behind.

Jian raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Yan landed iron, many cast iron armor, the iron armor on the corpse in front of him was well-made and gorgeously decorated, which was enough to show that his identity was not ordinary.

"Is it confirmed?"

Li Xin asked the two soldiers who were carrying the corpse.

"General Yu, judging from the talisman worn on the corpse, this person should be the chief general of the Yan Army, Qin Wuji."

Li Xin's expression changed and he stared at Zhao Tuo.

"You, you actually killed Qin Wuji!"
