Chapter 360 After the War
After counting the casualties, the result was unexpectedly brilliant.
43 people were killed in battle, 37 people were seriously injured, 18 of them died of serious injuries later, all of which were caused when the Turkic cavalry charged into battle.If it weren't for the "shocking thunder" that completely disrupted the formation of the Turkic cavalry, this number would probably have to be the entire army. The huge lethality brought by the cavalry charge to the infantry is simply frightening.
There were hundreds of minor injuries, all of whom were wounded by the last besieged Turkic cavalry.
The Turkic cavalry shot and killed more than 200 people, and captured more than 300 people. They were ordered to be killed by Fang Jun that night.He didn't want these captives to be exchanged for wealth or meritorious service by those big shots in the army. If he killed Fang Jun's soldiers, he would have to pay the price with his life!
On this point, Liu Rengui and Duan Zan fully agree.
The whole barracks was jubilant, and it was unbelievable that such a small price defeated the mighty Turkic cavalry!This is the invincible king on the grassland and desert. Even if cavalry is against cavalry, Tang Junzhao is slightly inferior to the Turkic who grew up on horseback since childhood, let alone such brilliant results achieved with simple infantry?
In particular, the admiral killed all the captives, and never negotiated conditions with the Turkic people, so as to give the Turkic people a chance to redeem the captives. This point made the entire army of the Shenji Camp extremely supportive.As for the only surviving Ashina Fudai, everyone didn't criticize him harshly, because this person's identity was too special. In the eyes of the soldiers, even their admiral had no right to directly decide the life and death of this person.
Fang Jun was not excited at all.
He has had human life in his hands, and since he came to this era, he doesn't feel that killing or being killed is such an unacceptable thing.In this society where the legal system is backward and the law of the jungle preys on the strong, life is too fragile a thing...
But this kind of confrontation between the two armies, the violent murderous aura filling the space between the heaven and the earth, shocked him, Bai Ding on the battlefield.
On the battlefield, it seems that life has become a pale number. Every time I charge, every time I confront, life is like dew under the sun, and it is evaporated in an instant...
This kind of impact from thought made him feel depressed.
More importantly, he smelled a conspiracy from this Turkic cavalry attack on the camp.
Who paid the price of ten carts of fine iron to bribe the Turkic people to dispatch a thousand fine horsemen to attack the Shashenji camp?
He keenly felt that this person's goal might not be Shenjiying, but himself!
Turkic people can't even smelt ordinary pig iron, let alone high-quality refined iron that can be used to make weapons. This person is likely to be a Han Chinese.In fact, there are not many Han people who can transport ten carts of refined iron to this place for trading. This requires not only strong contacts to avoid interrogation by the customs, but also certain economic strength. Ten carts of fine iron is not a small amount. , not something anyone can take out casually.
Let’s imagine that during the day, Chang Sun Chong was transferred to the camp of the Chinese army, and at night, he encountered an attack on the camp...
The answer seems self-evident.
But Fang Jun still couldn't understand one thing: he and Changsun Chong had no enmity, and the rift between him was only during the Zhongnanshan night banquet, and he seemed to be careless for a while and seemed to be molesting Princess Changle.He was reckless in that incident, but he had to put himself to death just for this, and by the way, he had to take two thousand soldiers from the Shenji Battalion, officers and soldiers from the Supply Battalion, and tens of thousands of civilian husbands?
Fang Jun felt a little unbelievable.
But besides Chang Sun Chong, who else has the motivation to do this?
Hou Junji?
Not really...
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He directed the soldiers to gather up the bodies of the brothers who died in battle and place them neatly in the middle of the barracks.The weather is hot, and it won't take long for these remains to rot. Of course, the best way is to bury them on the spot, but Fang Jun doesn't want to do that.
Generations of Han people have had the idea of "falling leaves return to their roots". No matter which dynasty, they have an obsession with "hometown" that surpasses everything else.How can I bring them to the desert of the Western Regions, and how can I leave them alone in this desolate and remote yellow sand after they die?
There are very few trees in the Gobi Desert, so Fang Jun ordered people to collect all the wood from the gate of the camp and cremate them.
All the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion lined up neatly, standing behind Fang Jun, watching the soaring flames engulfing Pao Ze's body and turning it into fly ash.
Fang Jun's deep and deep voice resounded throughout the entire camp: "The first military rule of the Shenji Camp is 'Don't abandon, don't give up'! Not only should we do it when we are alive, even if our comrades in arms are dead, we must also They brought them home! We fought side by side, trusted each other, and even used our bodies to block the knives for our comrades in the face of death, so how can we have a reason to abandon our comrades after their death? No matter how difficult it is, no matter how dangerous it is , we must always remember that even if we cannot go back with our comrades alive, we must take his ashes home! This is the responsibility of surviving! Starting today, I, Fang Jun, swear that I will never take the remains of any comrades Abandoned in a foreign land, if you break this oath, you will be destroyed!"
"If you break this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth!"
"Do not abandon, do not give up!"
All the soldiers raised their arms and shouted, with tears in their eyes, and expressed their wishes to the dead comrades with all their strength, and solemnly swore an oath to the living comrades!
No army can respect the dead Paoze so much, no general can make such an oath!
Fighting on the battlefield, swords and arrows have no eyes, anyone may be the one who dies in the next moment!
How desolate and sad it would be to be hastily buried in the desolate Gobi Desert by comrades-in-arms?
But now, every soldier knows that even if he dies in battle, his comrades will overcome difficulties and obstacles, bring him home, and bury him on the land of his hometown!Even if he dies, he can still protect his parents, wife and children...
What else is there to be afraid of?
It is precisely because of Fang Jun's soft-hearted decision that this army will not fear death and travel across the world in the years to come!
************
The night is poignant and beautiful, and the crescent moon in the sky exudes a faint brilliance.
Hou Junji stood at the door of the big tent with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark Qijiaojing Canyon in front of him, like the mouth of a prehistoric beast.
As long as you cross this canyon, what is waiting for the Tang army ahead is a flat river, no matter how dangerous it is, the army can go straight to the city of Gaochang.With the superiority of the Tang army's military strength, Gaochang City must be decided in a single battle, and the destruction of the country is just a snap of the hands.
But Hou Junji is still very cautious, because in this deserted western region, there is still a king who has ruled for hundreds of years—Turk!
Even though years of wars caused the Turkic cavalry to dodge the Tang Dynasty's troops and migrate westward step by step, no one dared to ignore the swift and domineering fighting power of the Turkic cavalry in the desert grassland!
But so far, all the scouts have been dispatched, but no trace of the Turkic cavalry has been found.
Except for the "horse bandits" who might attack the Shenji Camp...
The Turks are best at field battles, and their cavalry is a nightmare for infantry when they charge. Thousands of Turkic cavalry gather in one place, and the violent momentum they can generate is enough to tear any infantry into pieces!
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for them to stay in Gaochang City and help King Gaochang defend the city.
But where is all this damn Turkic fever hiding?
Hou Junji was in a state of mind, he was most afraid that when he was attacking the city, the Turkic cavalry suddenly launched a surprise attack in a certain place, that would be dangerous!No matter how proud and conceited he was, thinking that his military talent was not inferior to Li Jing's, he would not dare to ignore the power of the Turkic cavalry.
Hou Junji glanced behind him meaningfully.
In the handsome tent, several marching secretaries were still verifying and summarizing various documents overnight, among them was Chang Sun Chong...
Hou Junji thought again of the bandits who were elusive and intent on attacking Shenji Camp.
Is it really a horse bandit?
Hou Junji didn't think so, he thought it was very likely that they were Turkic cavalry.
But what he didn't understand was, why did they attack the Shenji camp and the supply camp?
Even if all the food and grass in the supply battalion were burned, it would not affect the result of the army's attack on Gaochang City. At most, it would cause some trouble for Hou Junji. He needed to order the collection of food on the spot. The land of Gaochang was fertile and there was plenty of food!
Could it be that this Turkic cavalry has something to do with Changsun Chong?
Hou Junji's heart skipped a beat, he couldn't believe it.
The son-in-law of His Majesty's son-in-law, the son-in-law of the grand grandson's family, actually colluded with the Turkic people?
Hou Junji shook his head without laughing, what a ridiculous idea!
A soldier in the distance ran quickly, approached, knelt down on one knee, and raised a red-covered battle report with both hands: "Report to the commander, the battle report from the Shenji Battalion!"
