Chapter 133 Behind Victory

The first battle after the reorganization of the Northeast Army won victory, but after the war, no one from the general to the soldiers was happy. Even the entire Liaodong City seemed to feel this atmosphere, and the civilian craftsmen stationed in the North City Army Camp were all cautious. The Liao people in the prison camps in the city felt this gloomy and depressing atmosphere. Many people were speculating that the Sui army might have lost the battle!

In an ambush, the Liao army was deceived into the city with 50,000 yuan. In this battle, the Liao nobles leader of Anshi, Baiyan and nearby Zhushan City rushed to Liaodong City under the leadership of Gao Yuzhen and Gao Yannian. As soon as they entered Liaodong City, they were ambushed. The entire Liaodong nobles coalition army had 23,000 troops, 5,000 cavalry, 18,000 infantry, and nearly 30,000 tribal slaves and women and children came with the army. There were more than 3,000 oxen, nearly 50,000 sheep, and more than 5,000 horses. It can be said that it was a time when the clan came.

The entire ambush lasted only two hours. The Liao army died in the Sui army's arrow crossbow, horse spear, infantry spear, horizontal sword, and road sword. There were nearly 8,000 infantry soldiers and about 3,000 cavalry. The Liao army soldiers, including Gao Yuzhen and Gao Yannian, were captured by 2,000 cavalry and about 10,000 infantry. In addition, the number of slaves, women, children and children who came with the army also reached about 30,000, and the remaining 20,000 slaves, women, children and tribes were captured.

In addition, the Northeast Army obtained nearly 5,000 war horses, more than 3,000 cattle, more than 50,000 sheep, and nearly 3,000 pack horses. The soldiers had ten thousand leather armor, more than 3,000 sets of Mingguang iron armor, and thousands of stones of grain.

The Sui army fought an ambush battle and set up an ambush in the city. After the first battle, the soldiers of the First, Second and Sixth Divisions did not face the main force of the Liao people. There were less than one hundred dead, dozens of seriously injured, and more than three hundred minor injuries. This was because it was the first battle of the new recruits, otherwise the number of casualties would be lower.

The officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division only fought in one battle, and they were defeated. The number of casualties was also not high, and only a hundred seriously injured people were killed or injured.

The real casualties were the heavy infantry brigade. This new army resisted the elite Liao people with 5,000 people. After two hours of fighting, killing nearly 5,000 enemies. Although the soldiers of the heavy infantry brigade had heavy infantry armor with amazing defense, because the soldiers were all new soldiers, they were the first battle and counted the troops. The number of casualties reached more than 600, while the number of seriously injured reached nearly 500, and the remaining relaxed ones were basically nearly 2,000. It can be said that in one battle, the heavy infantry brigade reduced its combat personnel by 1,000, and the combat losses reached as high as one fifth. This is still an ambush battle.

In this battle, the elite cavalry of the heavy cavalry brigade only dealt with nearly 2,000 troops from Gao Yan, who was responsible for the palace behind the Liao people. The most elite heavy cavalry of the Sui Dynasty, used the most elite heavy cavalry of the Great Sui Dynasty to deal with the beautiful cavalry in Goguryeo, and 3,000. The Sui army relied on its armored cavalry and the elite soldiers to kill 1,500 Liao soldiers in one battle. The heavy cavalry brigade had only more than twenty dead, more than 30 seriously injured, and hundreds of slightly injured came. The battle was reduced by 60 to one, and the number of casualties on both sides was even more amazing. The heavy cavalry brigade completely proved the elite status of their elite.

After the entire ambush, more than 50,000 Sui army participated in the battle, with about 800 casualties, and nearly 700 seriously injured and disabled. From the surface of the numbers alone, the Northeast Army won a great victory and completely defeated the Liao army, not only killing most of them, but also successfully captured other people.

But from another perspective, the deaths and serious injuries of up to 1,500 people were also a loss that the Liaodong Army could not bear.

But no matter what, today's battle was won by the Sui army. If it weren't for the spectacular gang fight of six or seven thousand people that occurred in the end, and Chen Kefu's extremely severe punishment, they would have directly revoked the numbers of the two elite troops. Perhaps it was another happy night tonight, but since such a serious result occurred, no one dared to laugh anymore. Even the soldiers of each unit had a hurry to rest after dinner after returning to the camp.

A big mansion in the north of Liaodong City was originally a mansion of a boss Mixing. Now, the boss Mixing had been executed by his family on the night when Liaodong City was broken. Now not only his entire mixing belongs to the Sui army, but this mansion has also become the Northeast Army headquarters of the Sui army.

In the military conference room converted from the hall, Chen Kefu was in the main seat, watching the results of the ambush reported by the military staff. The casualties of 1,500 people made his head a little big. If this ambush battle, he could have 20,000 elite soldiers from the military camp, he could completely control his casualties to less than 200 after defeating the Liao people. But the casualties now are as high as seven times!

Tonight's senior generals' post-war summary meeting, the other soldiers had not arrived yet, and only a few generals had arrived at this time. But today's generals are different from the past. No one of those guys greeted Chen Kefu first and joked. What Chen Kefu did at the South City Gate this evening had a great impact on these senior officers. It turned out that the generals, who had always been very approachable and easy to talk, were so merciless and harsh when they started, which made most of these officers still a little afraid.

Mr. Li Benlei glanced at the officers who did not dare to come, sat beside Chen Kefu, and hesitated, "Master General, are you punishing the heavy infantry brigade and the heavy cavalry brigade too severe today? Although what they did today is indeed very excessive, it is enough to criticize them fiercely. Just take them out and get a few military sticks and confiscate their food and salary for several months. After all, this is the first time, and it will not happen in the future."

Chen Kefu dropped the note in his hand and smiled bitterly at the old man, "I don't know these, but you should have discovered some bad signs. Now the Northeast Army's reorganization steps are a bit big, and these sequelae are also revealed. In the past, the generals and officers took 100,000 people, but now when they turn around, they all brought 10,000 people with 5,000 people. Do you think their mentality changes suddenly?"

"The current situation is not as good as there are only a few people who can truly adapt to this transformation. Otherwise, just like those grassroots officers, they still treat themselves as soldiers. Once they fight, they all forget their current identity as an officer and go up. Brave is brave, but it does not play the role of an officer at all. Now tens of thousands of troops are basically all new recruits, and they are counting on them to be the backbone of the army and support the army. But now they are like that, can they count on?"

"And the other group of people is another extreme. For example, Guo Xiaoke, Zhang He and others were just gang commanders and team leaders. They were promoted all year round, and now they have become generals with ten thousand people and thousands of people. With more soldiers, people have become arrogant and arrogant. Just like today, the two armies actually fought against their own people and their own people on the battlefield in front of the three armies, and they were still fighting with thousands of people. The two sides, one side was Guo Xiaoke whom I used to send out. Although he was still the regiment commander, the three thousand people in the heavy cavalry brigade were still handed over to him for management."

"And the other side, Li Shimin and Li Xuanba are not others, that is my brother-in-law of Chen Kefu. Although I still feel that I have been inexplicably engaged with the third lady of the Li family. But who doesn't know that they are my brother-in-law, one is my personal guard, and the other is my brother-in-law, and the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. But today's soldiers are watching. If I cannot punish severely, how can I, Chen Kefu, ask others in the future? The soldiers will say, you can't control the people around you, and come and take care of us."

Chen Kefu sighed, leaning obliquely against the wall behind him, feeling a little indescribable. All the soldiers were immersed in the joys they had now again and again, only Chen Kefu was always so worried. The strength of the Liaodong Army and the Goguryeo Army was completely disproportionate. He was just constantly making moves, hoping to balance the strength of the two sides in Liaodong before the decisive battle between the two sides.

"My punishment is indeed a bit heavier this time, but I also hope to use it to remind all the soldiers. Don't just see the victory in front of us again and again, and always think that we can really rest assured and be invincible. The difference between our true strength and the Liao people is still too big. Now we are walking on thin ice. Before taking each step, we have to think through thousands of times. If we take a wrong step, then what is waiting for us may be a thousand-foot ice cave, crushed to pieces."

"Also, I always think that Li Shimin and Guo Xiaoke are both generals who can be created. Sometimes it is not a good thing for them to be too smooth. I think after this, they will be able to get rid of the tumultuousness in their bodies, be more calm and thoughtful, and a general will become. Knowing shame and then being brave is for the real warrior. However, a real warrior always has to go through a lot of hardships first, which is a hurdle that must be overcome. Only by daring to face all kinds of bleak experiences can one truly create a successful person. If they face the little obstacles I have given us now, then even if such a person really dies, I will not feel any pity."
