A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 100
"Report!"

"Good News,
Great victory in Wushan! "

The cavalry galloped straight into the camp, and flew all the way to the big tent of the general manager of the Chinese army before jumping off their horses and shouting excitedly, "Great victory, great victory in Wushan, Longxi, the hospital camp. The chief manager Wu Huaiyu led his troops to attack the Turks at night. One of the special officers was killed. A thousand heads were captured, and more than five hundred were captured alive.

General Manager Wu pursued for [-] miles, entered Longxi County, and set up camp at the east of Zhangshui River and the former site of Xinxing City at the foot of Wucheng Mountain, echoing Longxi County..."

Chai Shao, who was looking at the map in the tent, suddenly raised his head when he heard this, his eyes were full of surprise.

The rest of Liu Xue and other generals are also full of inconceivable.

It was reported yesterday that Wu Huaiyu led the hospital battalion to fight fiercely with more than a thousand Turkic cavalry in the Weihe Valley.

How come it took only one night for Wu Huaiyu to wipe out more than a thousand Turks, and even beheaded a member of the secret service?
"really?"

Chai Shao strode out of the tent and greeted the soldiers who reported victory.

Every step in the hospital was beyond his expectation.

After a while, the soldiers from the hospital battalion who reported the victory also arrived, and presented the victory report Lubu written by Wu Huaiyu's own soldiers.The above detailed the battle yesterday, including how they attacked the camp at night, and even said that they used the palm thunder to surprise the enemy.

Holding the victory report, he looked at the Qingqi who reported the victory two times. One was sent by him to watch the hospital battalion, and the other was sent by Wu Huaiyu.

"The specific process, truthfully and in detail, without any omission or exaggeration." Xue Wanche said to his part.

That Xue family trilogy was also one of the 560 cavalry in the assault last night. Of course, he had personally experienced the whole battle, so he was very clear. He reported the truth at this time, and he was talking about ups and downs.

Chai Shao and the others were shocked.

"Palm Thunder, what is that thing, do you have it on your body?"

"It's a Taoist magic weapon refined by Chief Wu. It's a knotted bamboo tube on the outside, filled with various pills and secret medicines. When you use it, throw it directly into the enemy's bonfire, or light the fuse and throw it into the enemy's tent, or Among the people and horses, there will be thunderbolts and explosions, accompanied by flames splashing in all directions, the momentum is astonishing, the Turkic people and horses are all startled, and they are running around, uncontrollable..."

"The chief manager asked if you have this palm thunder on your body?"

"Um, there aren't that many palm mines, and Director Wu only refined about a hundred of them. They were almost used up in the battle last night, and I only got one. I used it up during the raid. At that time, I lit it with a torch and threw it into the There were thirty or forty riders in a group of Turkic horses, but a thunderbolt exploded in the palm of their hands, and those dozens of riders who were frightened turned their backs and fled in all directions. Several riders were thrown off their horses on the spot, and they were directly killed Trampled to death two..." Xue Jiamo said of Palm Thunder, his face flushed with excitement, and he couldn't help adding fuel to his miraculous experience.

Xue Wanche, Chai Shao and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. They didn't see it with their own eyes. It was unbelievable. It was hard to imagine that there was such a magical weapon.

"This Wu Erlang has such a treasure, why didn't he take it out first, but secretly hid it." Xue Wan said.

Chai Shao didn't care about being surprised, he quickly thought about the current situation.

This Wu Erlang was originally just a bait, but now everything is unexpected.

Yesterday, he insisted on using a fake main army to bite [-] Turkic Qingqi. He thought about it, so he didn't rush to close the net and use him to catch bigger fish. He continued to stand still here.

But after one night, Wu Huaiyu wiped out the thousand five hundred horsemen.

God, I can't imagine it.

Chai Shao, who has always been good at using soldiers and using danger, has to give a secret praise.

He turned around and returned to the tent, swept away the few things on the map, and rearranged them again, the Hospital Army, the Right Pioneer Army Right Battalion in Longxi City, and the Turkic Valley Teqin thousands of troops sandwiched between them.

Then there is Weizhou in the northwest, not far away, where there are Niu Jinda and Wang Tiefo's right vanguard Zuoying and Weizhou soldiers, as well as Yu Sheshe's Turkic army.

And it was only a few tens of miles to the east of Longxi, and he, Chai Shao, led five thousand horsemen to hide and ambush here.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Wu Huaiyu's hospital camp brought a lot of changes.

"Boss, why don't we immediately march westward and encircle and annihilate the thousands of troops like Gu Teqin outside Longxi City?"

This is a temptation.

But Chai Shao thought about it and shook his head, not enough.

After Que Teqin's more than 1000 people were wiped out, although Gu Teqin still had more than 3000 people, there were still many old and weak people there. Gu Teqin's team is about the same.

Now he is sure to destroy this team, but Yu Sheshe from Weizhou will inevitably run away in fright.

He doesn't have that much time to entangle with Yu Sheshe here, if he wants to beat him, he has to beat him so badly that he can withdraw completely and dare not stay in Longyou anymore.

Chai Shao turned his gaze back to the map.

To the east of Longxi County, on the south bank of the Weishui River and the east bank of the Zhangshui River, at the foot of Chengwu Mountain, the former site of Xinxing City, where the Wuhuaiyu Hospital Camp was stationed.

After a major battle, the hospital battalion had [-] newly recruited soldiers and [-] civilian husbands, and now it should have reduced its staff by at least five or six hundred.

"In Wu Huaiyu's battle, the Turkic people definitely believed that he was the elite reinforcements of our Longyou camp. He set up camp here. Yu Sheshe from Weizhou would definitely send troops to reinforce them. Let's wait for the reinforcements from Weizhou to arrive before taking action. "

Gu Teqin's [-] people couldn't satisfy Chai Shao's appetite. He had to wait for Yu Sheshe to send troops over to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Maybe he could destroy the reinforcements and Gu Teqin first, and then go to Weizhou to kill Yu Sheshe , even if he can't kill him, he can still make Yu She set up and flee Longyou in panic and never stay any longer.

"Keep waiting!"

"Boss, even if Wu Huaiyu won this battle, the casualties are not small. Gu Teqin has several thousand people, and Cheng Chumo in Longxi is only a sub-battalion. The casualties were not small before. What if they can't stand up to Gu Teqin? ?”

"There is no chance, if you can stand it, you have to stand it, and if you can't stand it, you have to stand it."

"Then should we send someone to inform Wu Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo, and tell them that we are dozens of miles away from them?"

"Do not,"

Chai Shao intends to continue to hide.

After making a decision, Chai Shao sat alone in the tent, and his heart was so excited that it was difficult to calm down. This Wu Huaiyu was really surprising everywhere.

After a long time, Chai Shao still began to write the victory report to Chang'an.

On the seventh day of the seventh month, Wu Huaiyu, the battalion chief of the Longyou Camp Hospital, defeated the Turks in Wushanchuan, beheaded a special service officer, beheaded more than a thousand heads of Turkic and Hu captives, and captured more than [-] people...
Achieve victory to the prince and ask for credit for the hospital battalion.

······
In the morning, the sun rises again.

Yesterday there were more than 500 prisoners, today there are only more than 400 left. Nearly a hundred Turkic prisoners were killed. Some tried to resist, but were mercilessly killed by the Tang army. Some tried to escape in the middle of the night, but they failed to escape. The other nine people who were grouped together were also executed.

Many of them were seriously injured, and the ambulance soldiers from the hospital battalion did not give them any medicine at all.

Marquis Yu in the army directly gave them a happy ending. Some of them who had only lost their arms and legs were also benevolent. The reason was that these people could do nothing and waste food.

The remaining [-] or so captives were ordered to take the corpses of more than [-] people of the same family to the river and bury them in the morning. After returning, each of them changed from being rebellious to being more docile and honest.

They were hungry, so they were assigned to the former site of Xinxing City and began to help build camps as coolies.

The work was slow, just a whip passed, and everyone was tied to a horse's foot. It was originally a horse to prevent the horse from running, but now it is to tie the captives to prevent them from escaping.

In fact, Huaiyu didn't quite agree with this rough way of dealing with the prisoners, but in the end he didn't interfere, and in reality he had to do things according to the most realistic conditions.

Kindness to the enemy is also cruelty to oneself.

Medicine is precious, so of course it cannot be wasted on these captives casually. Those captives who are slightly injured have to carry it by themselves. If you can't live, you don't support idlers.

Even if these people could be brought back, one of them could at least be exchanged for two horses, but this is a battlefield, and everything is cheap.

The Turkic people on the other side of the river did not cross the river. Yesterday's heavy rain also caused the river to swell. Even if the Turkic people really want to attack now, there is nothing they can do about the surging flood in the river.

Compared with the miserable fate of the Turkic captives, the wounded soldiers of the Tang Army were treated very well. As long as they were still breathing, they tried their best to rescue them. Wait for these special nutritional meals for wounded soldiers.

The Tang army was repairing barracks, drying armor, even fishing, and herding horses. The Turkic people were also grazing cattle, sheep and horses on the other side of the river.

Longxi County even finally opened the city gates and let some people out of the city to hunt woodcutters and firewood.

There are three soldiers and horses on the battlefield, but they don't interfere with the water of the river. They are clearly separated and busy in their own way, without disturbing each other.
