Chapter 354

The Taozhou army won, and when Zhang sent his Siduya soldiers, the battle was no longer suspense.

The fierce Tuyuhun Xianbei nomadic warriors collided with the Tang Dynasty's soldiers, and the Tang Dynasty's soldiers won simply beautifully.

How did the Tang Dynasty soldiers train? Some people say that it was because wars were frequent since the end of the Sui Dynasty, some people said that the rewards for fighting were high, and some people said that being a soldier could divide the land and exempt taxes. Being a soldier was the easiest way to get a background. In addition, the soldier was the son of a landlord, etc., with good family conditions, strong health, etc.

But Zhang Chao believed that the Tang Dynasty's prefecture soldiers could be so elite and not inferior to the nomadic cavalry. There are all kinds of them on it, but the most important point is the military discipline of the prefecture soldiers.

If you don’t see the military disciplines and regulations of the soldiers in the palace, most people may think that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are just groups of militia, and they serve as farmers and soldiers in their spare time, and their qualities are not very good.

But the facts are completely different. The whole text of the military and military law is full of the words "kill". Half of the content is the crime of execution.

For example, those who reveal military affairs will be executed. Those who betray the army will be executed. Those who are late for delaying the specified time will be executed.

Those who are not in order and whose weapons and armor are not polished will be executed. Those who are acquainted with the enemy will be executed. Those who loot the place during the march will be executed. Those who bring women into the camp will be executed.

Those who surrender without fighting will not only be executed but also confiscated his wealth.

Even after making a formation, someone who breaks out of the queue and advances or retreats, or rushes out of the queue and attacks first and attacks in front, and disrupts the integrity of the queue, can be executed.

In other words, if you rush too hard, you will be executed.

Others include gambling in the military, which can be executed if it involves a penny. The interest rate for loans exceeds ten cents, even if the loan is high, it will be executed.

When the battle was over, the bowstring was already on and the one who was still looking around was going to be executed.

If the queue is incorrect, it will be executed.

Lost the military flag and executed.

If the master loses during the battle, all serfs will be executed.

......

For this reason, there are special military judges in the army, and each team has a military judge and clerk.

There are probably hundreds of regulations for execution in military law.

Compared with the ancient military law, there are many more seven kills and fifty-four kills.

When a soldier is selected, the first thing he does is not to immediately learn the battle formation and receive training, but to first learn these military laws and regulations. Everyone will memorize them and then remember them for the rest of their lives.

Under these seemingly very strict military laws, a troops with quite strict military discipline and high combat power have been created.

However, under strict military orders, the rewards to the soldiers are also very high.

It is forbidden to privately store spoils in the army. Any military material seized must be returned to the public. However, if non-military materials are picked up, they must be handed over, but they can get 20% as a reward.

In addition, all the seizures of the battle, except for the ordnance, will be rewarded to the soldiers who fought in full after the rest are uniformly registered.

In addition, there will be rewards for combat merit.

What the soldiers of the palace care most was that after making meritorious service, they could not only receive money and food rewards, but also receive honors, titles, and even official positions. They would get a lord, and they would have a merit field forever. They would even have the opportunity to be promoted directly and become officials. They would overcome the most difficult obstacles and become a scholar from then on.

The Tang army's equipment is also very elite.

There are two types of equipment for the Tang army, one is provided by the court, and the other is provided by the government soldiers. However, no matter which one is made by the court, it is not allowed to be made privately. However, the armor, crossbow, spear, spear, and equipment provided by the court must be stored in the military government's arsenal after the war.

The horizontal swords, bows and spears provided by the government soldiers can be kept by themselves. The Modao's swords are also the equipment provided by the government soldiers. The government soldiers pay money to purchase standard weapons from the designated departments of the court.

Therefore, although many of the soldiers in the Tang Dynasty were equipped with their own equipment, they did not find people to build them themselves, and they would not have a variety of weapons and were different.

Instead, the specifications are made by the imperial court with unified standards.

There were fields that did not have to pay taxes, sufficient and excellent equipment, sufficient training, frequent wars in the early Tang Dynasty, and the strict military laws of the Tang army finally created this Tang army.

The people all want to be the government soldiers. The government soldiers are well treated and have the opportunity to surrender.

Unlike the imperial guards in the Song Dynasty, they could only get some death pay and might be deducted. Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers of the garrison became tenant farmers and serfs of the officers, and they could not even eat or have no equipment. What kind of war should they use?

The Tang Dynasty's government soldiers had another characteristic, which was the lifelong system, not the hereditary system. If the government soldiers were selected, they had to be old and retired at the age of 60. After death, the land they were given were taken back, and the father would not be inherited by his son.

Instead, we choose one at a time of three years, and the ones who choose good family conditions, healthy and young children of good people.

Many newly selected government soldiers in Taozhou this time, such as the group of workshop apprentices from Bashang, were just special cases. They were recruited as soldiers because the situation was urgent last time. After the war, they had to be restored to their original identity.

However, because the border gate of Longyou is empty, they are specially selected as the government soldiers, stationed in Taozhou and garrisons. It can be said that they are lucky, and under normal circumstances, they are not qualified to be selected as the government soldiers.

However, in Taozhou Zhuwei Mansion, these recruits and soldiers must start from auxiliary soldiers and can only be stationed in the team during battle. They have to practice their skills and reach the standards before they can become real combat soldiers.

But now, the battle in Jiangxin City is over.

However, this group of auxiliary soldiers is busy, and they have to take on the responsibility of cleaning the battlefield.

The soldiers completed the mission and began to rest.

Dawn.

The tragedy on the Jiangxin Peninsula is revealed one by one.

The battle last night was tragic and cruel.

But this tragic and cruelty is relatively to the soldiers of the Yeli Ministry. The Tang army's strong bows and hard crossbows, bed crossbows and catapults made them truly understand what tragic is.

The heavy cavalry and Mo Daozhe of the Tang army even more made them know what despair and collapse meant.

When the Tang army was connected in two groups and surrounded them on this Jiangxin island, they regretted it.

There is nowhere to escape, and you can't win.

The Yeli cavalry, who finally collapsed, tried to ride a horse across the river, but was shot and killed countless times by crossbowmen on the other side, and finally surrendered in despair.

Jiangxin Island is a carefully selected trap and a cage that makes people desperate.

Most of the soldiers of Feng Li's army surrendered, while the old, weak, women and children outside the island were unable to escape. Su Dingfang, with more than 2,000 soldiers, easily stepped on the Yeli people's camp. After killing them one after another, he successfully captured the Yeli people in the entire camp.

More than 15,000 prisoners.

When this number was summed up in the temporary headquarters of Jiangxin City Exchange, the generals and schoolmen were amazed one by one. Even the generals like Pilou Wuche and Yisu Gu Shenqing, who had been through battle for a long time, felt incredible.

In just one night, they captured 15,000 prisoners.

Zhang Chao sat there, looking at the report but just smiled.

In this era, many elite troops could not withstand 30% of the war losses. For ordinary troops, 20% of the casualties could easily collapse.

In the battle last night, not many Xianbei people were killed.

After the war, less than 800 Yeli soldiers were killed on Jiangxin Island, but the Tang army created an excellent situation last night. They were lured to Jiangxin Island, and then cut off their retreat and became a beast in prison. The elite and fierceness of the Tang army, coupled with the darkness, Yeli people were chaotic and disorderly.

After being chasing by the cavalry, there was no command completely.

In the end, the Yeli people collapsed early and then surrendered.

If it weren't for the excellent terrain of this battlefield, even if the Yeli people were ambushed, they would have escaped immediately. But this was an isolated island, with specific conditions that allowed Zhang Chao to win a beautiful victory and captured 15,000 prisoners.

Basically, the more than 15,000 Yeli people who came here, except for less than 1,000 people who died in battle on the island and outside the island, the rest became Zhang Chao's prisoners.

"We also seized many horses, and large numbers of cattle and sheep."

Horses are the mounts of the Yeli people, almost everyone has one, and the soldiers have two horses. Cattle and sheep are the military rations they carry, and now they have become the trophy of the Tang army.

The Yeli people brought almost the entire tribe, so Zhang Chao almost gained the entire Hei Yeli tribe in one battle.

"Sima Su!"

"The end is coming!" Su Dingfang's face was full of excitement after fighting overnight. The battle was beautiful and the winning one looked good.

"I'll give you a task, bring a thousand light cavalry, and immediately go to the territory of Yeli, and catch all the remaining thousands of left-behind Yeli women and children, and I want them, as well as their cattle, sheep, and horses."

"If you lead the cavalry first, I will lead most of the troops to support you."

"Be careful of other Yeli tribes. If they find you, don't fight them."

Hei Yeli was originally a neighbor of Taozhou, with a territory of hundreds of miles and a population of 20,000. This time, after they completely fell on Jiangxin Island, Zhang Chao naturally would not let them go.

To cut the grass, we have to eliminate the roots, not to mention that there are so many cattle, sheep, horses and population on the Heiyeli territory.

Zhang Chao wants all these.

Last time, a Yeli tribe was destroyed, and Zhang Chao made a fortune by a population of 3,000. This time, it was a tribe of 20,000 people, and Taozhou was completely released.

Su Dingfang laughed and responded to the order, turning around and leaving.

"Xu Changshi, go and appease the frightened Fanhan merchants in Jiangxin City, and give some compensation and pensions to those who are hurt. Tell them that Jiangxin City will continue to open, and our Tang Dynasty will continue to protect Jiangxin City and merchants who come here to trade."

"Envoy, we really swallowed the Hei Yeli Ministry like this?" Cen Wenben, Sun Fujia, Li Shousu and other middle and senior civil servants in the state were all full of surprises.

"It's all fat that has reached my mouth. Can't I spit it out?" Zhang Chao asked with a smile.

"But Hei Yeli is only one of the seven divisions of Yeli, and the seven divisions of Yeli have 20,000 soldiers." Li Shousu asked worriedly.

"So what? Hei Yeli is still known as three thousand cavalry. As a result, we only paid less than a hundred casualties and uprooted the entire clan. I have said it before, no one will offend me, and no one will offend me. If someone offends me, I will offend me. If someone offends the Tang Dynasty, even if it is strong, I will kill you!"

Seeing that they were still worried, Zhang Chao comforted, "Don't worry, the Sixth Ministry of Yeli may not come. Even if they dare to come, we don't need to be afraid."

Niu and Tigers sat there and kept smacking their lips.

"If you have something to say!" Zhang Chao gave him a blank look.

"Governor, I will be worried."

"What are you worried about?"

"We are short of food in Taozhou, and now we have added 15,000 prisoners at once. I am worried that we don't have enough food!"

Zhang Chao snorted, "You have the Tao River water in your mind? Although you have added 15,000 prisoners, we have seized more cattle and sheep. In the future, we can just eat meat and drink milk!"

Niu saw Hu was stunned, then slapped his head, "Yes, why didn't I expect it!"

3300 monthly tickets, the classification list rose to sixth place, with a total of three chapters of updates, and another 12 chapters were owe.
