A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 102
Rewards are not overdue, and punishments are not moved.

The reinforcements were delayed, so Huaiyu could only stay at the foot of Wucheng Mountain to maintain the army.

Fortunately, the Zhangshui and Weihe Rivers refused to guard, and the former site of Wuchengshan Xinxing City was dangerous, so they were temporarily safe near the river and the mountains.

Managing two to 3000 people is difficult or easy. Fortunately, Huaiyu studied management before and worked in a large factory. Modern management itself was developed from the military management system.

Although the hospital battalion was a temporary false main force, Chai Shao's arrangements were still in place after all. There were [-] soldiers and [-] civilians. The battalion had distinct levels and the temporary command was sound.

In particular, half of these battalion managers are Huai Yuxin's own people. Under his leadership, this small team manages the entire battalion in an orderly manner.

The food is enough for one month, so there is no worry for the time being.

Morale was also pretty good. After the war, the hospital battalion suffered a lot of casualties, but the morale went up instead. Ge Yinhuaiyu knew well the management points of clear rewards and punishments and timely rewards and punishments.

With the efforts of Ma Zhou, Wu Junren, Wu Xizhe, etc., the military merit book has been sorted out, and the draft book was published the next day.

It clearly stated how many beheads and how many enemies were wiped out in this battle.

The third-class merits can be rewarded with first-class honors, and the first-class merits are even third-class honors, and those who have special merits such as Lidiaodang, Pioneer, First, Second, and Third Class will have more rewards, which is clear.

How many beheads were beheaded under each soldier's name, how much was captured by the same team, and what was captured by each soldier, etc., were written clearly. How many merits could be exchanged, how many honors, and how much silk was exchanged were all clear figures.

Although this is just a rough book, it has to go through three days of publicity, confirmation by each team, and even final confirmation by judges and princes of Yu, before it is reported to the camp. , to award honors.

But looking at the merits under his name, who can be calm about Xun Zhuan?
As for some unlucky people who were injured, or broke their weapons, or lost their horses, they would be punished accordingly, but under this big victory, these are trivial matters.

"There are [-] soldiers in the hospital battalion, and this time they lost a lot. Including those from the civilian husband's battalion, more than [-] soldiers died in this battle, and no less than [-] people were disabled, seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness."

The soldiers below are still very relaxed, but Huaiyu's core management team has a sense of urgency.

"I suggest that as soon as possible, we should transfer the local strongmen from the civilian camp to make up for the ninety-nine thousand in our hospital battalion, repair the armor and equipment, and step up training." Ma Zhou said.

After some discussion, they finally agreed to draw people from the civilian camp.

Huaiyu didn't plan to take the initiative to attack the Turkic Valley Special Qin camp on the other side. Last time, it was by surprise, mainly relying on the thunder in the palm of his hand, but the main materials such as sulfur and saltpeter he brought from Fuqiang City were all used up, and now he couldn't make it even if he wanted to. come out.

We can only use defense against offense, and let the civilians and prisoners cut down trees and cut them into sharpened antlers for defense. Taking advantage of the dangerous and favorable terrain of the former site of Xinxing City, prepare rolling wood and stones, and build more sheep and horse walls to keep horses away when they have time. Walls, etc. For a while, arrows cannot be made without feathers and other materials, but it is still possible to make some spear-throwing javelins.

Hundreds of wounded soldiers and civilian husbands were recuperating in the camp.

After some selection, [-] warriors were refilled, and about [-] civilians had been recruited before and after, and the combat effectiveness had obviously dropped a lot.

There are more than 200 people lying in the sick children camp, and only 300 people left in the civilian husband camp. Fortunately, there are more than 400 unsuitable Turkic captives at their disposal.

Even the three hundred civilian husbands, Huaiyu organized them into a reserve battalion with the two hundred wounded soldiers.

Huaiyu also chose to fill in the vacant posts in the battalions that were killed or seriously injured, and temporarily acted as deputy.

Now when Huaiyu faced the wounded soldiers, he was much calmer.

At the beginning, seeing the disabled and injured soldiers who were following him, Huaiyu felt very uncomfortable.

At that time, he was relatively detached and kept out of it, but now he is completely in it.

"Horsemeat again?"

Xin Zhao saw Huaiyu brought him food, struggling to get up, hehe asked with a smile.This guy's head was wrapped in gauze like a pig's head, but he still laughed.

He was injured in the battle that day, and he was seriously injured. Fortunately, he was dragged to the back in time to stop the bleeding. At that time, a big gash was opened in his abdomen, and his intestines flowed all over the place. Finally, he was stuffed back. It has been three days now. Apart from his pale face, the guy is in good spirits.

"rabbit."

"Where did the rabbit come from? It must be horse meat again. I really can't eat it anymore. It stinks."

"It's really rabbit meat. As soon as I opened my eyes this morning, my two dogs showed off a few rabbits in front of me. They found a litter of rabbits and carried the whole family." Huaiyu smiled. Said, "I made it for you myself. The soup made of rabbit meat is neither fishy nor woody. It is light, refreshing and tender."

"I thought I was going to eat horse meat again."

"More people have been arranged to go fishing and hunting, to give you wounded soldiers a change of taste and supplement nutrition, and return to camp as soon as possible."

Xin Zhao is also looking forward to returning to the camp as soon as possible. He was seriously injured, but fortunately, he was not missing an arm or broken leg. Huaiyu, the white-robed supervisor, pulled him back from the gate of hell, and the wound was not infected. He kept it, and now the abdominal wound is itching badly, and he also knows that this is a good sign.

Many wounded soldiers were missing arms, broken legs, or even blind, which was much worse. Although there were few cases of amputation due to infection, it was very difficult to treat those who directly broke hands and feet on the battlefield, or even had severe fractures and internal injuries.

But the wounded soldiers also know that if it weren't for Huaiyu and his medicine, as well as the hospital battalion's established ambulance regulations, the casualties in battles like this one would definitely increase a lot, especially for those wounded soldiers after the war, the possibility of serious injuries The vast majority will die, and many minor injuries may be aggravated or infected due to lack of medical treatment, and eventually die or have their limbs amputated.

It is also their fate. Although the hospital battalion is not very powerful, it is a new army, but their doctors and pills are definitely the best in the entire camp, and even now in the entire Tang Dynasty.

In Longxi County, which is separated by a river, Cheng Chumo brought a battalion of troops and strong people in the city, but there were no such conditions. Fortunately, they were defending the city and fighting. Although the population of Longxi County was small in the early Tang Dynasty, it was still a small town. In the county town, there are also pharmacies and doctors in the city, and they also contributed a lot to the wounded soldiers after being drafted.

······
At dawn, Huaiyu was teaching Fan Xuanfu to practice Ba Duan Jin. The two exercises are very similar, but Vajra Kung Fu is more vigorous, and Ba Duan Jin combined with breathing method makes the movements more gentle.

It is also good for old people and women to practice Baduanjin.

The soldiers in the hospital battalion are still busy with their own tasks, some are herding horses and donkeys, some are continuing to cut trees and stones to strengthen the camp, some are training, and some are patrolling.

Suddenly, the sound of horns broke the calm.

Turkic reinforcements came.

In the northwest river valley, smoke and dust rose everywhere, and a large Turkic army arrived. As soon as they arrived, they immediately surrounded Longxi County, and Gu Teqin on the south bank immediately blew the horn to respond. Convergence siege.

The Turkic cavalry who had just arrived immediately launched a fierce attack. The cavalry rushed close to the city wall, and countless arrows shot at the top of the city like locusts.

Under the cover of the cavalry, many Turkic cavalry rushed under the city wall with bags of soil, dropped two bags of soil and roared away.

Longxi County is just a small county, not as tall as Xiangwu City, the governor of Weizhou. Although this filling tactic is simple, it is very lethal.

If they were allowed to fill in the soil, it wouldn't be long before they could directly fill in a weir slope that went up to the city, and they would be able to ride directly to the city.

This tactic is not new at all. When Yang Guang conquered Liaodong, he used this tactic against Liaodong City, an important city in the city.

The guards of the city sounded the alarm, they shot arrows down crazily, and threw stones, sprinkled hot oil, and even poured golden juice on the city.

However, under the cover of the arrow rain of the Turkic cavalry, the defenders on the city suffered heavy casualties, and people kept falling down from arrows.

The Turkic reinforcements came aggressively, and when they came up, they planned to forcibly pull down Longxi City.

The wound on Cheng Chumo's head is still not healed, and his left eye is still covered with gauze, but fortunately, Wu Huaiyu's elixir, which he carried with him, did not cause any infection after using it.

Before that, Huaiyu asked the eight Cheng family members around him to bring a lot of medicine.

Wearing bright armor, with a tiger head card in his hand, he knocked a bone arrow flying with one blow. Cheng Chumo saw that the city wall was already in danger, so he could only call up the reserve team.

"Boss, there are at least several thousand Turkic reinforcements. This attack is too fierce. We can't hold it anymore. Let's put up a red flag and let Boss Wu come to help." Longxi County Magistrate Wang Da bent over holding a cowhide shield.

Cheng Chumo looked at the Turkic soldiers who were still appearing from the west, then at the Gu Teqin who had been killed from the south bank, and then at the city wall that was already bleeding like a river. Arrows rained down, and the city could no longer raise its head.

"I can't hold it anymore. There are at least 300 newly arrived Turkic wolves, plus the original [-] here. Now there are [-] to [-] Turkic wolves gathered here. There are only more than [-] pioneer battalion soldiers who can fight in our city this morning. There are dozens of meeting time gone, and there are less than a thousand young and strong people in the city who can help guard, and the remaining women and children are old and weak, which are useless.

Wu Huaiyu's hospital battalion is not the main force elite, and it has just been through a war, and there are also heavy casualties. Even if they are called to help now, it will be nothing more than sheep entering the tiger's mouth. "

A sharp arrow was nailed hard on Cheng Chumo's shield, unabated, shaking unceasingly, Cheng Chumo was already indifferent, and he looked towards the direction of the hospital camp to the east again.

"Raise three yellow flags and ask Wu Huaiyu to take the hospital battalion back to Fuqiang immediately."

"Director Cheng!" Wang Da shouted in shock.

"At this time, what's the point of pulling more people on their backs? Let them go back, and go to the firewood manager to rescue them."

In the face of death, the eldest son of Duke Su was very calm.

The county magistrate Wang Da, who was wearing a suit of armor outside the green robe, asked angrily, "Where are the reinforcements? What about the reinforcements from Chief Chai? Why did we only send one Wu Huaiyu's hospital battalion after we have been guarding for so long?"
