Chapter four hundred and forty first
At this moment, big tears had already emerged from the corners of the officers of all sizes!
"Wei Zhaodu has escaped, why should we fight to the death? Some generals left their troops and fled. They have a conscience and want to cut off the rear, leaving a way out for more brothers. The battlefield is in chaos, and the Khitans are chasing them. The 150,000 army collapsed, collapsed...!"
He wiped the blood and tears on his face desperately and pointed at the soldiers around him: "We all fought to the death with our brothers under the leadership of their respective commanders, but we could not stop the Khitans. More and more people ran away, and the cavalry kept roaring south and chasing to the Zhenzhou River. There was no way out there! I don't know how many brothers were going to die in the river! After the battle, we killed the Lords one after another, and we had no way to the south. We could only swim. Is it because we knew that our Shence Army was fighting hard behind?"
He stared at Xu Jing: "Not to mention Wei Zhaodu's man who should kill Qiandao, he was exhausted by a general, but we were only fifty or sixty miles apart. Why don't you come to help me? Why don't you come to help us?"
The words of the little officer aroused the panting of the defeated Tang soldiers around him. From time to time, people made a loud cry of sadness, and even Tang soldiers fell to the ground and slapped them hard.
"We are fighting to the death, we are fighting to the death. As long as Wei Zhaodu's banner is not moved, we will definitely fight to the end! We know that you are not far away. As long as you hold on, you can wait for reinforcements, but why don't you come?"
"The son of Turtle Wei Zhaodu! You are the ancestors, you should have been cut into pieces! You left us, why are you for? We were ordered to fight and we didn't frown when we were about to fight, but you ran away!"
"It's over, it's all over. I'll go to the northern expedition in various places, but this ended! I was defeated in a daze, and I don't know why! What kind of battle is he fighting!"
Xu Jing was full of resentment, but could not do anything anymore. Seeing the Tang soldiers who were broken in the armor, they fought to the end. He couldn't say a word. He waved his hand and turned his horse's head to fight again, but saw that his subordinates were as depressed as he was, and they were all leaking out on the battlefield. In a flash, he slaughtered the dozens of Khitans. Some Khitans wanted to escape, and some even rushed over from the horse, pulled the Khitan soldiers off their horses, rolled them twice on the ground, and finally pulled out the sword from their waists and stabbed them hard, allowing the smelly blood to splatter on their faces.
After the Khitan soldiers were completely defeated, the light cavalry of the Tang army stopped the horses and looked back. Everyone's chest was fluctuating violently, but they were like Xu Jing and could not say a word.
Xu Jing roared violently: "Take out all the dry food and wine bags! Take care of the injured, protect the brothers, retreat, and meet with the army!"
The victory or defeat of the Liang and Tang war can actually be distinguished from the logistics supply. The Liang people had Khitans to help. Even if the Khitans were stronger than the Tang army, they could only rely on the broken Zhenzhou, but the Tang Dynasty mobilized almost half of the empire to support the more than 100,000 troops!
The news is good news, and it is also inconsistent with what Zhang Jun thought. However, if the baggage is not transported up, there is no way to fight in the field. The Tang army will never carry all the combat materials on its own. The Tang army emphasizes formation and then fighting, and its power is not as good as people, and what they fight is consumed. If an army is pulled out for field battles, it will need to transport tens of thousands of armor and millions of arrows. The soldiers cannot chew the dry food they carry with them. They must work hard before leaving the formation. These foods in the stove are also necessary.
When the Tang army went out to fight in the field, they must have rewards. The more tragic the war was, the more they had to see it. And now the camp was difficult for these soldiers to lay down roughly. It was far from being stable. There were a large number of weights used to build camps in the rear, and they had to be transported up to allow the civilians to strengthen this important camp under the city of Weijing as a basis for war defense. There were four tents and tents. Special sizes of wood, woodworking equipment, iron door trunks, night lighting equipment, iron chains that locked Luzhai, and bamboo nails placed under the trench. All kinds of bamboo nails and triangular iron nails placed under the trench were shipped on the large and small chariots of the civilians and men, and they had to be transported up with great effort.
These days, the average number of materials arrived, and the camp was stable. Only when the main force of the Tang army was pulled out for field battles. Generally speaking, there were sufficient materials and a stable camp as a support, and it was well-founded for advance and retreat. It was equipped with the most advanced shooting weapons of this era, wearing heavy armor, and the Tang army infantry field group that could use long weapons under the stairs. It could defeat all the enemies of this era!
Unlike cavalry, a field infantry group will be used to fight a battle, and the consumption behind it will be enough for the nomadic people to fight dozens of battles. Behind each field battle, a large number of civilians, auxiliary soldiers and material support are required. Without this support, it is difficult for the Tang army infantry to conduct large-scale decisive field battles.
However, in this century, only the Tang Dynasty could support such a field group on the entire earth! But Zhang Jun, who was urging the heavy materials to continue, was full of tears when he mentioned this. The war was about to end the victory, and delaying it would be a matter of a month. The preparations for the various roads in Henan were about to end. Everyone was busy making benefits at the end of this war.
With the minimum amount of 100,000 yuan for military, civilians and men, the daily salt and vegetable money is a huge number. The officials in charge of transshipment in Henan should seize the time to deduct it. They would not be able to do so. All the officials will share the benefits unless they pay their own burdens. Needless to say, Zeng Zhang Jun's three-way commander's office would be divided into a considerable part!
The civilians worked hard to transfer their fortunes every day and risked the risk of the breeze. After deducting this, although there was no other action under the army, they worked harder. After the pontoon bridge was finally set up and the main force of the army passed, the civilians were no longer able to cross the river, and they were extremely slow. They were mixed in every movement, and at any time they seemed to see people and chariots and horses being squeezed into the water on the pontoon bridge. Those who were responsible for the order of pontoon bridge transportation were inspected and jumped in a hurry. They rode dozens of boats back and forth on the river every day, and shouted hoarsely and had no effect.
