Chapter 172

On the hillside, in the continuous low bushes, there are two or three hundred corpses of the later Jin soldiers and hundreds of war horses. They seem to have been eaten by the green bushes. Against the glare of the sun, some are dazzling and some are ferocious.

Li Yuanqing's glance made it clear.

It must be that during the storm last night, these Tartars did not know the details and wanted to break through at night, but they were involved in the flood and became drowning ghosts.

Judging from the scale of the corpse, there should be many people, but those people are not so lucky. They are kept by the bush. I'm afraid that they have already been involved in the sea and lost their bodies.

"Ha ha. You wait. I'll go and cut some Tartars. "

"Slow down. Wait for me. I'll go too."

Some of the soldiers of Chen Zhong and zhangpan department, unable to wait, rushed down the mountain to cut off the heads of these Tartars.

Daming recognized the first rank in judging military achievements.

Whether you kill ten thousand enemies or a hundred enemies, even if you only kill one, the court only depends on how many heads you have in your hands.

To some extent, it is indeed a good means to investigate military merit and prevent false report of meritorious service.

However, the fact is that the soldiers of the later Jin Dynasty are extremely brave. Even if someone is killed in the battle, as long as someone takes his body home, he can get half of his property. This also makes the soldiers attach great importance to the corpses of their companions. Even if the Ming army wins a great victory, it is hard to get too many heads.

Even if the war is won, the soldiers are busy cutting their heads, how can they complete the task of pursuing?

This made the Ming army often envy the head of the Tartars when they were fighting. They even fought against each other with swords and soldiers. In the end, the victory was also a defeat.

In particular, in large-scale operations, every department wants to be the first level. Who is willing to do dirty and hard work?

It's like in football, everyone wants to be a striker and to score goals, so what does he want to do with defenders and midfield?

Is this possible?

Soon, more than a dozen soldiers had crossed the river at the foot of the mountain and began to cut their heads in the bushes.

Li Yuanqing's side, a few of his own soldiers can't help it, "general, let's also cut the head, right? Otherwise, they'll cut them off and we won't have them. "

Changsheng camp has strict military discipline. Without the command of Li Yuanqing, no one dares to move.

Besides, more and more soldiers of Chen Zhong and Zhang pan ran down the mountain to cut their heads.

Li Yuanqing glanced at the soldiers, "do you want to go too?"

Several of the soldiers were stunned.

They followed Li Yuanqing for a short time, but they were all the people around him. They realized that Li Yuanqing didn't seem to agree with this, so they all shook their heads.

Li Yuanqing slowly vomited out a mouthful of turbid air and said coldly, "if you want to make a contribution, you should go to the battlefield to get it. Did you kill these Tartars? What is the use of your taking his head? Even if it is recognized by the court, I will not recognize it. "

Several soldiers kneel down on the ground and kowtow desperately. The atmosphere doesn't dare to breathe.

Soon, a scene was formed.

The soldiers of Chen Zhong and Zhang pan rushed to the opposite side to cut off their heads in a race. However, on the other side of Changsheng camp, they were still busy with camp affairs. Even though some people were greedy and looked at the opposite side secretly, no one dared to move.

Zhang pan and Chen Zhong are both veteran generals, and they soon discovered the difference. Both of them were embarrassed and rushed to ask their own soldiers to call these soldiers back.

Zhang pan was ashamed of himself. He finally understood why Li Yuanqing could dare to fight with the Houjin cavalry, but he could only run away blindly.

"This son of a bitch, these son of a bitch, really disgraced Lao Tzu."

Zhang pan spit hard, "Zhang Ming, Zhang Hu, roll over to me."

"Yes." For a moment, two strong men knelt down beside Zhang pan.

Zhang Ming, Zhang Hu, Zhang Hu, Zhang Pan's confidants and soldiers, are all the members of Zhang Pan's family name.

"Listen to me, you two. I'll find out who cut the head just now. Each one has a hundred lashes, and he will never give up."

"Eh? Yes Zhang Ming a Leng, but also know that Zhang pan moved really angry, dare not refute, and Zhang Hu with the family team to catch people.

Chen Zhong's face is not good-looking, a wave of his hand, but also his relatives and soldiers head Chen Changyou to arrest.

After a while, dozens of soldiers who cut their heads in the zhangpan department were all arrested.

Zhang pan directly made them tied to the side of the pine forest. He took up the whip in his hand and whipped it away.

The soldiers cried out in pain and quickly begged for mercy, "general, why do you smoke us? What did we do wrong? "

"I'm a dog. I dare to be tough."

"General, we are wrong. Spare your life."

“……”

Zhang pan was sweating. Here, Chen Zhong also picked a whip and came to his deployment.

Although the whip was drawn on Zhang pan and Chen Zhong, the soldiers of Changsheng camp felt a little empathy, especially those who had the idea of cutting their heads just now."What are you looking at? Have you finished your business? " Duan Xiliang couldn't help drinking rudely.

"Yes." The soldiers dare not neglect and rush to work on their own affairs.

But Duan Xiliang's eyes flashed a glimmer of satisfaction. On weekdays, Li Yuanqing's training requirements are really cruel. Many times, even completely inhuman, Duan Xiliang can't bear it. But at this time, this seemingly inconspicuous small detail has opened the gap.

Duan Xiliang is also reflecting on why Li Yuanqing has always stressed that "more sweating in peacetime and less bleeding in wartime."

I'm afraid that's the problem.

If the Tartars on the opposite side have not been completely evacuated and there is a charge when these soldiers cut their heads, then

Li Yuanqing did not have much expression on his face. He was not complacent, nor did he deliberately dissuade Chen Zhonghe from opening his plate.

In fact, although the soldiers at this time under the pressure of Li Yuanqing, reluctantly restrained the impulse to cut the head, I am afraid there are a lot of disapproval.

This kind of thing is also human nature.

Although they have a little sense of teamwork, they will not be confused when faced with the temptation of personal interests.

This is still the main problem of the Ming army's reward mechanism.

However, through today's seemingly insignificant details, Li Yuanqing also made it clear that the reform in the army is urgent.

Training and military discipline are basic, but the most important elements for maintaining and developing are human feelings, consolation, or giving soldiers an open way to go up.

There is still a long way to go.

Zhang pan and Chen Zhong have enough to vent, and the atmosphere in the camp of Sanbu is gradually becoming more and more frightful.

This is the atmosphere that the barracks should have, not freedom and laxity.

In the evening, the horse meat is stewed in a big pot.

The officers and men had enough to eat and drink, and the weather was good. Today's affairs became their biggest talk.

Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong and Zhang pan summed up the battle in a newly built shack.

After a whole day's rest, all aspects of affairs gradually returned to normal, and those Tartars' heads and horses' bodies on the opposite side were also collected to the camp side.

After several days of fierce fighting, more than 300 soldiers were killed and more than 400 auxiliary soldiers were killed. Zhang pan was even worse. More than 700 soldiers were lost, nearly 800 auxiliary soldiers and countless wounded.

Li Yuanqing was a little better. Nearly 300 soldiers were killed and less than 100 auxiliary soldiers were killed.

The main reason is that Li Yuanqing later joined the war. The auxiliary soldiers did not go deep into the front line. Most of the injuries were caused by long spearmen who served as meat shields when facing the enemy.

In addition, the storm also brought more than 20 casualties to the three departments.

As for the damage to the ship, at least tens of thousands of taels of silver would be lost.

However, the harvest is not without it. The three departments have obtained a lot of new wheat this year. The most of them have to be several hundred thousand catties. Most of them have been transported back to Lushun. Chen Zhong also has to have more than 200000 kg, and Li Yuanqing has the least, but also has a little more than 100000 Jin.

After deducting those burned down under the city of Fuzhou, the three departments will not have a big problem if they survive this year.

After several battles in succession, three of them had nearly 500 or 600 bodies of war horses. The meat of these horses was a great wealth.

There are also various weapons, tents, armor and so on, which can be worth tens of thousands of taels.

Li Yuanqing now has more than 400 Tartars in his hands. Zhang pan and Chen Zhong each have a hundred or so levels. In addition, there are more than 200 Tartars on the opposite hillside. The three parts together make up nearly 900 tartar heads.

Among them, zhennu has about 600 levels and the Han military flag is 300, which is definitely a great victory.

Zhang Pan said: "Yuanqing, you have contributed most in this battle. In this way, the 200 level tartar head, you take 100, I and Lao Chen are 50, we are not a loss in this battle. "

Chen Zhong nodded, saying that he had no objection.

Li Yuanqing but a smile, "two brothers, this war you and my brothers fight side by side, how do you and I share? In this way, we have 900 multi-level heads in total, so we can divide them equally. 200 real slaves per person, 100 Han military flag. If you report merit upward, you can calculate it. "

Chen Zhong and Zhang pan were both shocked. Zhang Pan said, "Yuanqing, this, this, you are not suffering a great loss? No, No. Brother has received your great favor, how can he take advantage of you like this? You want your brother to have no face in the future. No, I don't agree

Chen Zhong also said: "Yuanqing, your heart, brother's heart. But we'll do what we have to do. "

Li Yuanqing smiles, "don't worry, two brothers. Although we have won the battle, we have not gained much in terms of actual benefits. Do as I say. In this way, whether it's Marshal Mao or the imperial court, we can explain it well. "

Zhang pan also understood Li Yuanqing's meaning at this time. As soon as he patted his brain, tears almost burst out.

Li Yuanqing is responsible for him. He is afraid that he will be punished by the imperial court and Mao Wenlong for his rash advance.In this way, the three parts advance and retreat together. Even the imperial court can not blame anything. After all, the three parts won the battle in the end.

And Mao Wenlong's side, as long as you can make the court step down, naturally it will not be difficult for the three trusted generals.

Chen Zhong nodded, "Lao Zhang, Yuanqing said, in fact, the most secure."

"Yuanqing, Lao Chen, you, you..." Zhang Pan's lips trembled a few times, but could not say a word.

Li Yuanqing smile, "brother Zhang, you want to thank me, ha ha, this is not difficult. Prepare several jars of good wine, and prepare more good dishes. Let's have a good drink. I don't want to be a liar. "

Chen Zhong couldn't help laughing, "that's it. Let Lao Zhang give some blood. Let's eat him hard. "

Zhang pan couldn't help but cry, "OK, OK. It's just a drink. Can I be afraid of you both? "

All three were laughing.

After the division, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a lot, and the three discussed their future plans.

Li Yuanqing analyzed the two men carefully. According to Mao Wenlong's command, he wanted the three men to pull and influence the defense line of the later Jin army in southern Liaoning. At this time, although the three departments did not complete the task very well and the process was not too smooth, they managed to accomplish Mao Wenlong's task.

At this time, it is entering the storm season, and the weather is extremely bad. In such a state, it is not very realistic to want to make any big moves.

With the help of the storm, more than a dozen cattle records with red and blue flags will lose a lot. Once the main force of manggutai and yuetuo arrives, it will be hard for them to swallow it.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong are in Changsheng island and Guanglu island. There is a sea gap between them, but there is nothing. But the Lushun side of zhangpan may suffer direct retaliation.

After listening to Li Yuanqing's analysis, Zhang pan couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, don't worry. In Lushun, the defense has been different from the past. I'm afraid manggutai and yuetuo can't come! As long as they dare to come, I will give them a happy one! "
