Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 119 The troubles of happiness

At this time, the entire Bogulu city, the generals and soldiers of the Tang army were all beaming.For the soldiers of the Tang army, the victory in this war came too easily. They hardly did anything, and the Turkic people herded sheep.However, although victory comes easily, military merit will not be discounted in any way.

Du Shanguo, the busiest right guard, joined the army as a recorder. Du Shanguo was thinking about how to report the victory of this battle to the court.Chen Ying led the right guard to lead Xunyi Mansion, Xuner Mansion, Yiyi Mansion, Yier Mansion and the Guard Regiment with more than [-] soldiers in nine regiments. They fought more with less and wiped out two soldiers in just half an hour. More than [-] Turks beheaded more than [-] people and captured more than [-] people alive. The right guard led no one to die in this battle, and only dozens of them were slightly injured when the Turks were dying while cleaning the battlefield.

Du Shanguo was silent for a long time, and sighed: "How can I write the victory report? Even if I write the truth, I am afraid that the court will think that we are falsely reporting the military exploits!"

Deputy Zuo led Gao Yunquan to curl his lips and said, "Du Canjun, just pretend."

He Yuejing sighed and said, "General Chen is such a genius, he actually came up with such a wonderful idea, otherwise, would this battle have been won?"

"Some fights? You can't fight well!" Gao Yunquan said: "If you lead more than [-] infantry to attack nearly [-] Turkic people, do you dare to imagine victory in advance?"

He Yuejing shook his head and said, "I absolutely dare not think about it!"

At this time, Du Shanguo began to write and splash ink: "Chen Youwei led the recorder and joined the army. Du Shanguo reported that there were more than [-] Turkic and Liang Kou allied forces surrounding Lingzhou. Guo Zihe, the general manager of Lingzhou, led his troops to fight bloody battles. Outnumbered and outnumbered, Lingzhou is at stake. The right guard rate, General Zhongwu, and the marching commander should not hesitate to lead their troops to support Lingzhou.

On December 27, should encounter the enemy more than [-] miles southeast of Bogulu City.The enemy Turks have more than [-] soldiers, Ying Yiran is not afraid, and shouted with all the soldiers: "It is the time to eat the king's salary, to be loyal to the king, to kill the enemy and serve the country." The soldiers also devoted themselves to serving the country, marched forward bravely, and died one after another.After a day and a night of bloody slaughter, until the blood flowed into rivers and the bones were like mountains, the Turks were defeated and retreated, so they should lead their troops to advance triumphantly, enter Bogulu City, and capture more than [-] Turks..."

Now, Chen Ying has occupied Bogulu City, robbed the old lair set up by Lifu, and the host and guest have changed positions. Chen Ying's situation is much better than before.

"Now the Turks have suffered heavy losses, and our army has won a new victory. There are less than ten thousand horses around us, so we might as well go all out!" In the tent of the Chinese army, Wei Wenzhong said excitedly: "Break the siege of Lingzhou!"

As the topic was opened, the generals talked a lot, some said that they should go all out, and some said that they should step by step.The generals quarreled for about a quarter of an hour.

Chen Ying, who really couldn't stand it anymore, said: "We can discuss whether we can fight. If we try our best, but we can't win the future battle, what should we do? What should we do if we win Lifushe? What should we do? What is the purpose of coming here?"

As the leader of the entire army, Chen Ying focused on the overall situation, not the gains and losses of the First World War.Now that the Turkic people are newly defeated, they can go all out, but once a full-scale war between the Turkic people and the Tang Dynasty is triggered, even if Chen Ying destroys the entire army of Qilifu, he has not only failed, but has done something.

If he didn't destroy the entire strategy of the Turks and the Tang Dynasty, then he would be considered a temporary benefit, with no merits.That's the difference.Of course, there is a saying that the butt determines the head, and if you are not in the position, you will not seek success.

Chen Ying did not give a specific order to fight or not to fight, but instead ordered Lu Decao to award the captured sheepskins to the meritorious soldiers according to the merit of beheading.Lu Decao, the commander of the marching army, had no objection to this point, but Lu Decao felt inconceivable when he heard that Chen Ying even rewarded his civilian husband.

The civilian husband is with the army, just serving.This is a kind of corvee. Not only do they have no wages, but they also have to bring their own dry food.

"Since my army went out, it has been very hard for the soldiers and civilians. Now that our army has won a big victory, how can we obliterate their credit?" In fact, Chen Ying knew very well that this victory over the civilians should be the first contribution.

A person should have a bottom line, and seize all the credit of the civilian husband. Chen Ying really can't do this kind of thing.

"There is no such precedent!"

"No need to say more, just implement it!" Chen Ying waved his hands and said, "Each peasant will reward three pieces of sheepskin, ten catties of mutton, and twenty catties of horse meat."

Lu Decao had no choice but to bow down and agree.

When Chen Ying distributed the seized sheepskins to the peasants, they felt unrealistic while holding the soft sheepskins that had been tanned by the Turkic people.

The civilian husbands who participated in the corvee were all poor people living at the bottom, and no one cared about their lives.After they finished eating the dry rations they carried with them, whether they could eat or not depended on the mood of the marching chief. Chen Ying did not lack the rations of the civilians along the way, but this sheepskin was not cheap!

A piece of sheepskin is equivalent to about [-] renminbi, and the price is even higher in the cold winter. A sheepskin of this quality can be sold for [-] renminbi or even more in Chang'an City.The value of the three sheepskins plus the mutton and horse meat is more than a thousand dollars. For ordinary farmers, they can't even save this much money after a year of hard work.

All the husbands got benefits from Chen Ying, and bowed to Chen Ying one after another.In the eyes of these soldiers and civilians, Chen Ying is already a good man who has ascended to the Buddha.

A soldier of the Tang army led a yellow puma and delivered the reins to Lin Chuanfu himself. "This horse will be yours from now on!"

Lin Chuanfu was dumbfounded: "Mine?"

Although the price of war horses in the Tang Dynasty was not as expensive as that in the Song Dynasty, war horses were not cheap.A strong ox can be sold for [-] to [-] yuan in Chang'an, and a war horse can be sold for [-] to [-] yuan depending on the horse.It is not something ordinary people can afford at all, and of course they can't afford it, but they can't afford it.

"General Chen appointed to reward Supervisor Lin with a good horse, and asked Supervisor Lin to sign it, and the humble officer will return to his command!"

……

Just when Chen Ying was rewarding the whole army in Bogulu City, Qi Lifushe was standing under Lingzhou City, staring at the south tower of Lingzhou City like an eagle, and the high shield covered the gate of the South Tower live, so that they can't see the movement in the south tower outside the city.

There is no doubt that it was Guo Zihe's command shed that Qi Lifu set up to know.After nearly an hour of fighting, Lingzhou City was at the end of its strength and was almost exhausted. At the last moment, even weak women and boys went into battle with weapons.

Even if he gave himself another hour, not even half an hour, he would be able to take Lingzhou City, but at this time, Bogulu City fell.

A large number of rout soldiers flocked to the city of Lingzhou, and the Turkic soldiers who had already climbed the city walls collapsed like an avalanche when they heard the news that Bogulu City had fallen. To stay in a state of defeat, we can only retreat with hatred.

If Yu Guni was here, Qi Li Fushe would cut off his head without hesitation.

It's just a pity that Yu Guni has already surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

What should we do now?
Tuli Fushe sighed, losing Bugulu city, he also lost all supplies at the same time, not to mention other supplies, the soldiers of the whole army did not even carry tents.In such cold weather, camping in the wild without a tent will definitely freeze into a popsicle.

In desperation, Qi Lifushe had no choice but to order the troops to retreat.

It's not that Li Fushe didn't want to take back Bogulu City in the past, it's just that the Tang people are good at defending it. Although Bogulu City is dilapidated, in such a cold weather, only hot water is needed, and Bogulu City can be taken back in just half an hour. Gulu City has been built into an iron wall.Not to mention that he only led less than [-] cavalry, even if the number was tripled, he would not be able to take back Bogulu City.

Thinking of this, Li Fu set up a horse belly and galloped towards the direction of Wild Boar Ridge.
