Chapter 399

"It's a pity that Fuyufeng ran away."

Wang Fangyi said with some regret that the battle last night was fierce enough. Unfortunately, the Tang army came from afar after all, and in order to rescue Liu Boying, he had to raid. The five thousand infantrymen led by Li Xiao marched for 80 miles, and there were too many people falling behind.

This led to the failure of defeating the Japanese army and the Baekje rebels in the end, but they were unable to complete the merits. Many defeated enemy troops ran away, including Fuyufeng, who was sent back by the Japanese to claim the king's restoration, as well as several Baekje rebel generals, Gui Shi Fuxin, Monk Daochen and others.

Fuyufeng and others fled quickly, but the Japanese were very fierce and fought to the death and did not retreat. They wanted to defeat the Tang army head-on, but naturally the Tang army won.

Although the Japanese army is very fierce and has more numerous, the Tang army's weapons and equipment are more excellent. In addition, Wang Fangyi, Zhao Chiman and others are all the best among the younger generation of Tang generals. With them leading the team to charge, the Japanese are difficult to resist. In addition, there are 500 light cavalry in the Tang army, which is a force that determines the outcome.

The results of the battle were still amazing when the battlefield was sweeping overnight.

From the rebels surrounded Jiuchi City, Liu Boying led his men to fight to the death day and night, and then Li Xiao led reinforcements to arrive, and fought against the siege and fierce battle day and night, Baekje and the Japanese coalition had a total of more than 35,000 people, and finally more than 5,000 people died at the city, including more than 1,000 Japanese and more than 4,000 rebels in Baekje.

The enemy troops were captured about 20,000, including more than 3,000 Japanese and more than 16,000 Baekje.

Thirty-five thousand enemy troops escaped only ten thousand people including Fuyufeng.

The results of the battle were brilliant, especially the 5,000 Japanese troops led by Nakai Betel Nut, were taken in one pot.

The Tang army suffered heavy losses. The 1,000 troops led by Liu Boying were almost killed or injured, and more than 800 people were killed in battle, leaving only more than 100 people, and each of them was injured. The Baekje people in the city helped the battle, and seven or eight hundred died.

The 5,500 reinforcements from the squad and cavalry brought by Li Xiao were killed in one battle.

This war loss is actually very amazing. In the Tang Dynasty's government soldiers, they rarely reach such a high war loss. However, considering that Li Xiao's command mostly recruited Baekje Township Warriors who had only been recruiting for more than half a year, their equipment and training were far inferior to those of the government soldiers, which was understandable.

"A monument was erected for the dead of battle outside the city, and the bodies of the lost soldiers and civilians in Baekje were collected and buried here. The dead soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were cremated, and the ashes were collected, and they were sent back to the Central Plains with the ship to return to their hometown."

Li Xiao said with some pain that one general succeeded and his bones were undone.

As a ceremonial coach, a big battle eventually turned into a post-war statistics table, but every number on this paper represents a living life that once was.

Especially for many Tang army soldiers, some of them were once fugitives, some were once mercenaries, and some were once palace soldiers. Their hometowns were all in the west of the sea. They were young, but eventually died in this foreign land.

Are their health points paid?

Li Xiao is their commander, and their death was because of his own orders. Li Xiao felt that he was carrying the heavy burden of these dead people. He had to make their deaths meaningful, otherwise he would be sorry for them.

Liu Boying also lowered his head. Although the scale of this battle was actually very small for the entire Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty fought many larger wars. The Tang Dynasty had been established for more than 30 years, but almost every year did not fight, and every year did not fight.

But this battle was unprecedented for Liu Boying.

"Jingshou, I once promised the soldiers, soldiers and civilians in Jiuchi City to give them a lot of rewards. Now that the war is over, I hope it can be fulfilled."

He told his promises, such as how much money is given to beheading the first level of land and rewarding the land, such as how many levels of soldiers killing enemies and beheading them.

"These are all due. I have agreed to check all the achievements and register and make a book. Not only that, as the commander of the Jie, I now announce that all those who participated in the guard of the city in Jiuchi City will be the people of my Tang Dynasty since then. Everyone is qualified to equalize the land and enjoy the same rent and tax rate as the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"If there are people who die in battle at home, you can choose the right one from home to join the Andong Tu Group. Those who are selected will enjoy equal land treatment."

This battle made Li Xiao a good discovery. Many Baekje people did not respond to the rebellion of the Baekje powerful men. They even took up weapons and followed the Tang army to fight bravely.

Many people pay the price of their lives.

This made Li Xiao understand that many of the policies he had implemented in Baekje before had won the support of these ordinary people from Baekje.

They didn't mind being a Baekje or a Tang people. They only knew that under the Tang Dynasty, their lives would be better, and sometimes, this was enough.

In the past, Li Xiao had a lot of reservations about the Baekje people, and he did not trust them very much. But after this battle, Li Xiao felt that these Baekje people were trustworthy.

Since they have performed enough to win his trust, he will not be stingy with rewards to them.

These people are given the right to be directly assigned to the Tang Dynasty household registration, and the qualification to grant land to the equal land, and enjoy the same treatment as the people of the Tang Dynasty in the Middle Land. This is the greatest reward for them.

Li Xiao hopes to reward these people who have won the trust of the Tang Dynasty with their performance, so that these people will be more loyal to the Tang Dynasty and contribute to the Tang Dynasty's foothold in Baekje.

Now Li Xiao treats Baekje people in Andong Protectorate's House of Revenge.

The first-class people are selected for the Tumen Group and won trust through battles and good performance. They will receive 100 acres of equal land and enjoy the same treatment as the Central Plains soldiers. They do not have to pay rent and transfer. They only need to work hard for the village to farm their own land, and farm, train, and send troops in wartime while farming.

The second-class people were the original poor tenants and slaves of Baekje. These people were proletarians in the past. Li Xiao implemented the policy of renting the official land to pay rent for them. He farmed for the government. If he performed well, he would be granted ten acres of land every five years.

The worst is the aristocratic and powerful landlords of the past. These were the interest groups in the past and those who suffered losses after the Tang Dynasty conquered Baekje. They must have resentment towards the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Li Xiao used a suppression strategy to them, measuring the land, counting property, registering household registration, collecting deeds and limiting the land amount, etc. Each family also had to hand over hostages to the government.

No one can enjoy the treatment of the people of the Tang Dynasty as soon as they come. Although Li Xiao has a lot of land, he does not intend to directly allocate land to them. He has to rely on his performance to obtain equal land qualifications and to formally register as a Tang Dynasty household registration based on his performance.
