I, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, have risen since I destroyed the Turks

Chapter 46 Pioneer Army, the First Army of the Tang Dynasty!
  Regarding Zhang Gongjin's words, Li Jing just smiled and said nothing.

Subsequently.

Li Jing looked at the soldier delivering the victory message:
  "The Turkic King's City was captured by our army. What can be gained?"

"General Li Zheng asked his subordinate to report to the general manager that the Turkic Khan wanted to go to Qamdo. He took his family and princes and ministers and fled to Mobei a few days ago. However, he still captured many Turkic royal nobles in the royal city."

"General Li Zheng asked me to ask from my humble position whether to send troops out of the grassland and into Mobei to pursue Yugu Changdu?"

"It has been several days since Yugu Changdu fled into Mobei. It is impossible to catch up. Don't pursue the poor bandits. What's more, Yugu Changdu is now alone. Even if he returns to the grassland in the future, he will not be able to change the world."

"This time, the victory over the Turks has been achieved."

Li Jing said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, the result is achieved."

"This battle has almost wiped out all the Turks' wealth. There is no possibility for the Turks to stand up."

"Even if Yugu Changdu can return to the grassland in the future, he won't be able to make any trouble."

Zhang Gongjin agreed.

"The Turks have been causing trouble in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty for more than ten years, and today they have been completely resolved."

"The only regret now is that we didn't capture Yugu Changdu like we captured Jieli Khan, otherwise it would have been more complete."

Li Jing said with a smile.

"Mr. Li!"

"It is already remarkable that our Northern Expeditionary Army has achieved such results."

"At least we have met the emperor's requirements for us, and we have not disappointed the emperor."

Zhang Gongjin comforted him, then changed the topic and asked:

"By the way, Mr. Li!"

"In this Northern Expedition to the Turks, our army captured more than 80,000 Turkic prisoners. How should we deal with them?"

Li Jing stroked his beard and thought for a moment:
  "I need to tell your Majesty how to deal with these prisoners first. In my opinion, these Turkic soldiers are quite capable. It would be best if they could be incorporated into the Tang Dynasty. They can fight against Tuyuhun and Tubo in the future and serve for the Tang Dynasty."

"However, the final decision rests with His Majesty. I can only give His Majesty suggestions."

"Alright."

"I will report this matter to the emperor together with the good news, and ask your Majesty to make a decision."

Zhang Gongjin stood up and said.

Li Jing nodded:

"It's time for the manager."

Chatted for a while.

Zhang Gongjin, Wei Xiaojie and other generals withdrew from the commander's tent.

……

Turkic royal city, Yazhang.

"I never thought that in the depths of the grassland, the Turks could build such luxurious tents."

"This Yugu Changdu really knows how to enjoy it. I, the Tang Dynasty, have chased me to the edge of Mobei. I still have the heart to build such a luxurious tent."

"These were built by Yugu Changdu to enslave us, the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"Yes! The hundreds or thousands of Tang people we just rescued in the royal city were all captured by Yuguchangdu and worked as coolies."

"Brothers, didn't you just see that when we invaded the royal city, the Tang people were all in high spirits and celebrating like the New Year?"

"Now, they can finally go home."

"It's a pity that Yugu Changdu and his family were allowed to run away, otherwise this boy would tear down this tent bit by bit in front of our Tang people to give vent to these Tang people."

"no way."

"This kid took his family, princes and ministers and fled to Mobei. Alas..."

Standing in front of the tooth tent of the Turkic King's City, some Tang Dynasty soldiers gathered around the tooth tent and started talking loudly. While mocking Yugu Changdu, they also lamented that they could not catch him to avenge the Tang people.

This may be the only regret in this battle in the royal city.

At this time.

Li Zheng, surrounded by a group of personal guards, walked quickly towards the tooth tent.

"See General."

"See General Li." Seeing Li Zheng approaching, all the Tang army officers and soldiers surrounding the tent bowed to pay homage.

The eyes of every soldier were full of admiration and adoration.

Since Li Zheng served as the vanguard general for more than three months, he has fought dozens of battles with Turks, large and small, and won every one of them. He killed and captured tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers.

Their vanguard army even displayed the momentum of the First Army of the Tang Dynasty.

The soldiers of other legions even regretted that they could not join the vanguard army.

They said sourly that by following the vanguard, they would win the battle and have meat to eat.

This time in the battle of the vast royal city, the vanguard army once again took the lead in attacking the royal city and won the first victory.

Now, the soldiers of several other legions are blaming their commander for why they can't earn the same first credit as Li Zheng.

In this way, they can also follow the promotion of officials and nobles.

All the benefits went to the Pioneer Army.

These soldiers were all envious and jealous.

"Free gift!"

Li Zheng smiled and nodded to the soldiers.

Some of them were his old comrades in the Third Gongnu Battalion.

Now, Li Zheng was promoted so quickly that these old acquaintances did not dare to support him. They all stood up straight and thanked loudly:
  "Thank you, General."

At this time, Li Zheng saw the Ranger General Lin Chong who was counting the number of people in front of the tent.

In several vanguard battles, the crossbow battalion performed well, and Lin Chong was promoted to the fifth rank of Ranger General.

Li Zheng even regarded Lin Chong as his main assistant.

"General Lin, have you calculated the damage and results of this battle?"

Li Zheng looked at Lin Chong and asked.

In private, Li Zheng called Lin Chong brother, but in front of the soldiers, he called Lin Chong his official position.

"Go back to General."

"It's been counted."

"In the battle of the Royal City, our army killed 1,338 people, injured 2,679 people, killed more than 6,700 enemy people, and captured more than 23,600 people."

"Our army has achieved an unprecedented victory."

Lin Chong said excitedly.

You must know that in ancient times, there were no modern weapons, and fighting relied entirely on bows and arrows and swords.

It was able to kill more than a thousand people, kill more than 6,000 people, and capture more than 20,000 prisoners of war, a battle loss ratio of one to dozens.

What's more, the Tang army was still on the offensive side, and the Turks were defending based on Xiongguan.

Such a record is simply a miracle.

If we really want to take credit, it must also be due to the momentum of the vanguard army led by Li Zheng, but the Turkic Khan wanted to conquer Qamdo and fled before the battle, which made the morale of the Turkic soldiers low.

Otherwise, with the fierce fighting power of the Turks, even if the Tang army wins, it will probably be a miserable victory.

Lin Chong seemed to have a clear mind about this.

"General, thanks to your golden sore medicine, many seriously injured soldiers in our vanguard army survived. This medicine is much easier to use than the hemostatic medicine used by the military doctors in the wounded barracks."

"Generals from other legions brought their wounded to the Pioneer Army to ask for this medicine, but ten bottles were not enough."

"I don't know, General, are you still there? The other legion generals are still waiting."

At this time, Lin Chong asked Li Zheng again about the golden sore medicine.

"I brought these medicines from home. I didn't expect them to be so effective. However, these are all I have left. You can use this medicine for golden sores first. When I have the opportunity, I will find a way to find someone to develop some and send them to you." come over."

"You can use these golden sore medicines first, and give the rest to other legion brothers. After all, they are all Tang soldiers."

The system rewarded ten bottles of golden sore medicine. Li Zheng did not expect that this medicine was so effective. The soldiers of the Pioneer Army used it and saved many seriously injured people.

One pass ten, ten pass a hundred.

The entire Northern Expeditionary Army knew that the Pioneer Army had a magical golden sore medicine.

Now, these legion generals came directly to the door with their wounded soldiers, which made Li Zheng dumbfounded.
