Chapter 822

The fury he was prepared to bear didn't happen. Under the sign of Yang Chendong, Yang Er also found an army coat to put on Hu Mang, and then everyone entered the city with the sixth young master.

Although I only left for just three months, the atmosphere in the city has changed to some extent. Without the noise like before, there seems to be a lot less people walking on the streets. This is the reaction and result after losing the war.

In this regard, Yang Chendong saw it in his eyes, but he did not say a word. The team came to Yang's house, and Xiao Feng regiment was also placed in the military camp. In the hall of the house, the three heads of Hu Mang, Zhuifeng and Su he fell on their knees. They knew clearly in their hearts that this was the time for the sixth young master to ask for guilt.

Yang Chendong didn't scold them in front of so many people, but just to save face for them. After all, they are all leaders of the army. If they are scolded too hard, they are still in front of their subordinates, which is not conducive to them to lead and command the army in the future.

Without an outsider, Yang Chendong casually looked under a chair. After glancing at the three kneeling people, he said, "talk about it. What's going on?"

Although the defeat was known from the telegram, what happened was not explained. If you don't understand, you have no right to speak. Yang Chendong wants to know how the other Party defeated Hu mang. After all, all the intrigues and tricks ultimately depend on their own strength. It's like a three-year-old child. No matter how calculated, it's difficult to defeat a strong man of 20.

"The thing is like this..." Hu mang complained, and Su He and Zhuifeng added that the process of the matter was clearly displayed in front of Yang Chendong.

Mobei Mongolian headquarters suddenly launched a large-scale attack on Yidu city. The external reason is that they sold intelligence and Mobei Mongolian headquarters. They came to seek revenge. Originally guilty, in addition to the fact that the troops were far inferior to each other, Yidu general Mu Ren wisely chose to leave and give up the city. After the incident reached Shicheng, Hu mang convened the officers to hold a meeting. After discussion, he finally decided to take Yidu city and reduce the threat that might exist to them at any time.

After the decision to send troops, the corresponding military plan was launched. The main attack was the frontal attack of the independent division, and the deputy division commander Xin Honghai led eight battalions and a regiment of recruits to carry out the task; On the left side, the cavalry strengthened the first regiment as the main attack, the head followed the wind and led the team, and the second regiment of recruits followed the army; On the right side, the Tatar cavalry regiment is the main attack, the head Suhe leads the team, and the third regiment of recruits moves with the army. A total of more than 16000 people launched a fierce attack on Yidu city.

Division commander Hu mang led the remaining eight battalions of the independent division, Xu Yunsheng's reconnaissance battalion and logistics regiment to stay behind, responsible for public security in the city and the supply of the army.

Even three new regiments have been sent, which can explain the problem in itself. This should have been a military training operation. It is to take recruits to experience the atmosphere on the battlefield, so that they can adapt to this environment faster and better.

However, it is just a Yidu City, facing the Mobei Mongolian headquarters, which has been defeated again and again in their own hands. No one really pays attention to them. The facts also proved that it didn't take long to capture Yidu city. The army scared the enemy away and occupied it just with a charge. And all the changes began from this moment. At the moment when the army occupied Yidu city and was cheering for victory, suddenly one explosion after another sounded in the city, and then the sky burst into flames.

Mercenaries without any precautions were beaten. Explosions and flames devoured their lives and disrupted their battle formation. According to post statistics, nearly 5000 soldiers were burned and killed under the fire alone. In addition, at least 2000 soldiers were burned and injured.

The chaos is not only over here, but also after the explosion, the whirl of the raging fire, and countless Mongolian cavalry appeared in all directions of Yidu city. They put bows and arrows and charged forward, just like a tornado in the desert.

There was no preparation at all. Under the situation that the soldiers did not know the general, the general did not know the soldiers, and the battlefield was extremely chaotic, the mercenaries were flustered in the face of the sudden Mongolian cavalry. On the battlefield, there was a one-sided situation, and the unilateral massacre began

When talking about this, Hu mang also raised his head, looked at Yang Chendong without saying a word and said: "The generals are still very brave. Many soldiers who have been burned have taken the initiative to take up the task of covering. For example, Gao Danhua, commander of the second battalion of the first cavalry strengthening regiment, is in a sea of fire. The burned area of his whole body has reached more than 40%, but he still rushed to the enemy with his saber and soldiers, and finally died on the battlefield. In this war, we lost 10000 soldiers, There are more than 4000 wounded soldiers... Young master, it's all my fault. I made a mistake in command. Please punish me. "

At last, Hu mang knocked his head to the ground again and again, and soon his forehead began to bleed, drop by drop

"That's enough." Yang Chendong's roaring voice finally came from the dull hall, "it's not me you're sorry for, but the soldiers who died on the battlefield. Do you know how many families will suffer from their death and the pain they can't erase all their lives?"

With such a roar, Hu mang didn't dare to make a sound, but bowed his head and cried. Chasing the wind and Su He kneeling on one side are also very ugly. This time, the main responsibility lies with Hu Mang of the unified army, but as his deputy, he didn't stop and didn't find the problem. It's also a major crime.

The room was quiet again. After Yang Chendong shouted this sentence, his chest was constantly fluctuating. It was obvious that he was really angry. All this was seen in Yang er's eyes. He was also very worried. He stepped forward and whispered, "take care of yourself, young master. It hurts you badly."

"Hey." Yang Chendong sighed in exchange for this advice, and then waved his hand, "well, this time you do have responsibility, but where did the fire come from and how Mobei Mongolian tribe set you on fire? That's the main reason. Let me ask you, can you find out the reason?"

"Ah! No... No." Hu mang looked up again, but the shame on his face was heavier.

This result seems to be expected by Yang Chendong. He can also understand that when the war is defeated to such a degree, all we think about is how to defend the city. Where is there time to look after others? He simply didn't say anything about it, but summarized the defeat. "As senior officers, you three recorded major demerits once and fined salaries for one year. If you make a recidivism again, you will be transferred to the military post. Do you have any opinions?"

"No." after hearing this, Hu Mang's body just couldn't stop shaking. Recording a major demerit is a very serious warning. According to the regulations, if something is committed within a year, it will really be out of touch with the army. But compared with those dead soldiers, it seems that this result is not so difficult to accept.

"Well, that's the same saying. There is no eternal victory in war. If we lose today, we should sum up our experience and don't make the same mistake next time. Now we'd better think about how to improve the morale of the army. You just said that everyone's performance in the battle is not wrong, but what examples can be found?" Yang Chendong also punished, and people can't come back from death, We must continue our career. We must not stop because we have lost a defeat.

"Yes, yes..." Hu mang raised his head and made an oral report on what he had heard and learned. A new idea began to take shape in Yang Chendong's mind with these reports.

On the third day after Yang Chendong entered Shicheng, his family also came to Shicheng.

Before they came, they heard a lot about the city, but everything was only imagined, but when they really came here, all kinds of exclamations naturally came out of their mouth.

Compared with the capital of the northern Ming Dynasty, Shicheng is naturally much worse. It is even worse than an old city such as Xuanfu. However, it is not easy to see such a big city here after walking through the snow and seeing the vast white grassland.

Just after two days, the number of people on the streets of the city has begun to increase. The messenger of eternal life came back and the God of war came back. It was like giving everyone a shot in the arm, so that the people in the city saw hope again.

If Yang Chendong's return is a kind of spiritual stimulation, the war death pension distributed to the people these two days is real, visible and tangible.

With an order from Yang Chendong, the Treasury in the city was opened, and most of the deposited silver was taken out to pay for the families and relatives of the soldiers killed in battle. When these real gold and silver were sent to the military families of the Mongolian people by mercenaries, the vibration naturally appeared.

Mongols are said to be a nation on horseback, because they have been exposed to the idea of the law of the jungle since childhood. They pay attention to the respect of the strong, and the strong enjoy everything and get everything. As the weak, even the dead, no matter how powerful they were, they are just a pile of white valley after death. Just like Genghis Khan, after his father died, he really lived a low-level life for several years.

The strong enjoy everything and the dead disappear, which seems to have formed an iron law on the grassland. But now, Yang Chendong has broken all these rules. The dead soldiers and their families have received generous gold and silver compensation. Although this can not revive the dead or make some people forget the joy of losing their relatives, it is better than nothing. In particular, they get a lot of dead soldiers, Each person has at least fifty-two pensions. Those who have the status of an officer will only get more.
