Chapter 122: Use your own shortcomings to attack the enemy's strengths

Seeing that Shan Xiongxin's entire army was wiped out, Wang Renze was afraid and led his troops to retreat fifteen miles away in the direction of Hangu Pass. However, Wang Renze did not know that Chen Ying was at the end of his strength at this time. Because he participated in the encirclement and annihilation of Shan Xiongxin's troops, the Mo Dao Army was squeezed out of his last strength, which was probably not something that could be recovered in one or two days.

The crossbowmen led by the Right Guard also performed extraordinaryly. More than 2,000 crossbowmen shot more than 100,000 arrows. At this time, these crossbowmen even used chopsticks to eat with chopsticks. However, in this battle, Wang Renze's losses were not light. His vanguard battalion was almost wiped out, even worse than Chen Ying's left guard. Especially the Tomahawk Battalion under his command became Chen Ying's captive, which made Wang Renze extremely angry.

This battle was the first defeat that Wang Renze suffered, and it also caused Wang Renze to lose his might in the army.

On the other hand, Chen Ying, although this battle was a surprise, he had gained a lot. Especially for more than 2,000 heavy armored armors, although Chen Ying looked down on them, these equipment were also good steel. If they were returned to the furnace, manganese ore powder and charcoal powder were added and resmelted, they could produce a batch of lighter weight and stronger defense armor, or Modao, and Modao Army could be directly expanded into two Zhechong Mansions, or eight or nine regiments.

Chen Ying was easy to solve the equipment matter, but he could not solve the human problem. Guanzhong suffered the most taxes and was exploited by aristocratic families and government officials. Therefore, the people in Guanzhong were weak in physique and could not adapt to the heavy equipment of Modao.

However, the battle was quite hard. Even though he knew that Wang Renze was fifteen miles away, Chen Ying did not order an attack, but instead set up camps on the spot, stopped the war and rested, and treated the wounded.

...

When the young general Qin Yong knew that he would die, he was very calm. Looking at the snowflakes slowly falling in the sky and the less blood flowing, a blur appeared in his head.

In the tenth year of Daye, Lu Mingyue, the leader of the rebels in Zhuo County, attacked Zhua, and Zhua, the hometown of Qin Yong. At that time, the rebels snatched all the things they could see like locusts passing through the border. Qin Yong, who was only sixteen years old, was also entangled into an army. However, before Qin Yong had time to escape, Zhang Xutuo, the commander of Qi County, brought Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin to counter Lu Mingyue, especially Qin Qiong and Luo Shixin, led the way, and led more than a thousand troops to destroy more than 30 large tents of Lu Mingyue. Qin Yong surrendered to Qin Qiong at that time and became Qin Qiong's personal soldier.

Qin Yong followed Qin Qiong to meet Shan Xiongxin in Wagang. Shan Xiongxin was very generous. When Qin Yong's mother was seriously ill, she paid for him to treat him. Her mother died of illness, and Shan Xiongxin paid for him to buy a coffin and bury him.

Qin Yong didn't know if Shan Xiongxin had escaped, but he had tried his best. Fighting on the battlefield was not enough to repay Shan Xiongxin's kindness, so there was only the next life. Just when Qin Yong was unconscious, he felt as if he had flew.

When Qin Yong woke up again, he found that his whole body was in great pain. He saw a man who looked like a ferocious man, like a butcher, holding a salt-adhesive cloth and wiping his wounds.

When salt water hits the wound, the wound will be as painful as fire.

Qin Yong opened his mouth and roared in a low voice like a mosquito: "Killing people is just a slight slightest, give Ye Ye a pleasure!"

The butcher slapped Qin Yong on the head: "The hair hasn't grown yet, who are you?"

Qin Yong had no strength to fight back, but his mouth was not idle: "I'm you, you..."

The butcher held a clip and put the needle on the fire and roasted it until the needle turned completely red. The butcher then took a white thread into the needle hole, and then stabbed the red-hot needle at him.

Qin Yong was still guessing that this might be a new way to torture people that Tangren thought of, and his face suddenly turned abrupt: "If you kill Ye Ye, Ye Ye, you won't surrender. Ye Ye Ye will still be a hero after eighteen years!"

"Si..."

The needle that was burning red was pierced into the flesh and a stream of white smoke rose. Qin Yong insisted on it for five or six times, but finally he could no longer hold on and his head tilted and fell into a coma.

...

Chen Ying is used to using troops in winter. In fact, the key factor is that in winter, the weather is cold and the wound is not prone to inflammation. Therefore, unless you encounter an irrescueable wounded person, the wounded person can be cured and recovered in general.

In this war, the East Palace led the eighteen palaces, with more than 2,700 people killed in battle, and more than 5,900 people were injured to varying degrees, of which more than 3,000 were seriously injured. More than 2,000 lightly injured people passed by Bazaar, which did not affect the subsequent battle, but most of the wounded were still concentrated in the left guard. Chen Ying looked at the death list of the left guard with more than 2,300 people and frowned.

At this moment, Wei Ling, the deputy leader of the left guard, woke up slowly. His injuries were not light. He had three broken ribs, his right forearm fractured, and his internal organs were severely damaged. It would not heal in a short time, and it would take at least three months. At this time, Wei Ling sent someone to send Chen Ying to meet him and asked him to see Chen Ying.

In fact, Chen Ying was very dissatisfied with the poor performance of the Left Guard. Although Shan Xiongxin launched a sudden attack, the Left Guard's five Zhechong Mansions were defeated in just half an hour, and the generals of the Left Guard's ranking were unshirkable. Of course, the situation of the Left Guard's ranking was also very special. The Left Guard's ranking was dismissed from his official position half a year ago, and the Left Guard's ranking training was lost. Although Chen Ying had a month of intense training, due to the four rates of the entire army, Chen Ying could not have covered everything.

For the sake of Wei Lingze's serious injury, Chen Ying still went to see Wei Lingze.

At this time, Wei Ling was lying on a four-wheeled carriage. Four-wheeled carriages were converted into medical vans, with six seriously injured or dozens of minor injured people placed. Wei Ting was treated slightly better, and a lieutenant in the carriage was walking with him, preparing to return to Chang'an to recuperate.

Seeing Chen Ying coming, Wei Ling struggled to stand up: "General Mo met with the general. General Mo was injured and could not give the full tribute!"

Chen Ying said: "I don't know what Deputy Director Wei is doing?"

Wei Lingze said: "General, how should they deal with the prisoners?"

Wei Ling had heard that Chen Ying wanted to kill the prisoners, but at this time, these prisoners and wounded soldiers would be treated according to the arrangement and enjoyed the same treatment as the soldiers of the Tang army. This was not what he wanted to kill them.

How could Chen Ying not hear what Wei Lingze meant? If Shan Xiongxin was under his command, they were all Turkic or Khitan, or Goguryeo, Chen Ying would not mind building a capital temple on the northern plateau of Hangu Road.

Seeing that Chen Ying did not speak, Wei Lingfang said anxiously again: "Do you want to kill the prisoners?"

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "I want to persuade them to surrender. From Shan Xiongxin to the entire Tomahawk camp, these are all from elite troops and Shandong heroes. It is a pity to kill them!"

Wei Lingze said: "But their hands were covered with blood from the brothers of Zuowei. If they were left behind, how could the brothers of Zuowei take care of themselves?"

Chen Ying's face turned cold: "When the Prime Minister's Army fights, each of them is their own leader, and casualties are inevitable. If you are not as skilled as others, how can you blame others for the world!"

Wei Lingze wanted to persuade him again. Chen Ying was too lazy to be distracted by Wei Lingze. If it weren't for Wei Ling, he would have violated the Yang. The left guard was as intense as other guards. The left guard was more vigilant, and the left guards would not have had such heavy casualties. In fact, although Wei Lingze is seriously injured due to the battle, Chen Ying was preparing to suggest to Li Jiancheng that Wei Lingze's deputy.

"You don't need to teach me how this general acts!" Chen Ying said coldly: "Previous Director Wei, you should go back to Chang'an to recover from your injuries!"

As he said that, Chen Ying went to the injured barracks to express condolences to the minor and serious wounded.

When Chen Ying went to the wounded battalion to visit these injured soldiers, the wounded soldiers were inexplicably moved. In the eyes of the generals of this era, the soldiers were just supplies and consumables. There were also generals like Chen Ying who valued the wounded soldiers, but there were too few.

Chen Ying was a man of two lives and knew very well that these wounded soldiers were actually treasures. They had seen blood and were injured, and overcame the obstacles to blood in their hearts. After returning to the team after recovering from injury, they were just brave soldiers who were not afraid of death, much better than the new recruits.

When Chen Ying found that the food in the injured camp was completely free of oil, Chen Ying rushed to the medical captain Chen Huairen and said, "If the wounded soldiers want to recover quickly, their nutrition must be kept up. All wounded soldiers will increase by 30% in total, and give them half a pound of meat."

The baggage officer said with a face, "But, our prescribed rule."

"Don't tell me any rules to you. You don't even want to Chang'an under the name of this general!" Chen Ying suddenly frowned. Although Chang'an is not far away, it is also far away and cannot quench the near thirst. Chen Ying's eyes suddenly looked at the heavy armor piled up like mountains.

The two armors of the Tomahawk Camp are all good things. Although Chen Ying has armor and weapons made of high manganese steel, he looks down on ordinary iron armor, but for other generals, iron armor is still a good thing.

Chen Ying said to the baggage officer: "Did you see this pile of armor? These are all good things. Take some armor to find Li Shentong and ask me to prepare a thousand pigs and three thousand sheep, and I will give him three hundred sets of iron armor!"

Although there are a large number of three thousand sheep and one thousand pigs, it is really insignificant compared to these three hundred sets of iron armor. The key is that steel is now strategic materials and cannot be bought with money. The general of Tongguan is Li Shentong. As the ambassador of Shandong Dao, he has a large amount of money and food in his hands.

According to the military system of the Tang Dynasty, 60% of the seized on the battlefield and handed over to the treasury, and 40% of the materials and equipment could be distributed by the generals and soldiers. In other words, Chen Ying could trade these iron armors. A set of iron armor is at least 80 to 90 stakes, and two iron armors are 189 stakes. The market price of this set of armor can be equivalent to the price of more than 300 sheep. If three hundred sets of armor are exchanged for 3,000 sheep and 1,000 pigs, it is actually equivalent to the bargain price.

When Li Shentong saw Chen Ying give him such a big gift, Li Shentong didn't think about it at all. Not only did he give Chen Ying five thousand stones of grain, but he also gave him five hundred jars of wine in vain.

The baggage officer returned to the Tang army camp with more than 1,000 live pigs and more than 3,000 live sheep.

Chen Ying said domineeringly: "I passed on the orders of the general, and the soldiers of the entire army should be filled with half a pound of wine."

Meat is a rare thing in this era. Although ordinary soldiers are not good enough, even wealthy little landlords are reluctant to eat meat a few times in the year. Hearing this news, the generals immediately cheered: "The general is mighty, the general is domineering!"

The sound was so loud that it went straight into the sky.

The Tang army cheered like a wave, and it was separated by a layer of Zheng army camp. Wang Renze did not understand what was going on, but the excitement of the cheer was self-evident. He looked back at his troops, and the soldiers were weak and weak. Not to mention being in the siege, even if they were evenly matched, the battle could not be fought again. He stood on the horse and looked towards the Tang army camp, sighed to his generals: "I have nothing to say, but I'm tired of you to suffer with me. Although the terrain here is wide, we can't beat them. If we want to defeat Chen Ying, we must retreat and retreat to Chousangyuan. The terrain is complex and changeable, and Chen Ying's subordinates cannot be used at all."
