A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The battle was a test, but the three sides were in a state of panic.

Originally, it was a tentative battle with each side holding its own thoughts. Because Lu Cheng personally led the charge, it turned into a chaotic battle.

With the continuous charge back and forth of the three thousand cavalry, the entire battlefield was completely disrupted. The troops of the Jin and Liao sides were mixed together and cut into pieces. The generals of the two sides could not give their subordinates an order to retreat.

Moreover, the Yangwei Army did not care about friendly or enemy troops, and basically killed anyone they saw. The Jin Army naturally regarded both the Yangwei Army and the Liao Army as enemies and killed them as well. Only the Liao army thought that the Yangwei army was a friendly army at first, but then they found that there were no friendly troops on the battlefield at all, and even their own people around them might attack them if they were too angry.

After completely disrupting the entire battlefield, Lu Cheng led his team to break out of the siege, wandering around the periphery of the battlefield, and constantly killing the troops of the Jin and Liao sides who wanted to withdraw from the battlefield.

The battle lasted from morning to evening, and the battlefield in the middle was already full of corpses, scattered weapons, broken limbs, and dead horses, crisscrossing the battlefield, which was extremely tragic.

When the fight was at the end, the soldiers and horses of both the Jin and Liao sides were all too angry, and even the old, weak, sick and disabled burst out with amazing combat power.

Therefore, except for a few people who were deliberately sent out for help, the vanguard of the 5,000 troops of the Jin army basically all fell on the battlefield. Even the prince of the Jin Kingdom was cut in half by Lu Cheng, and died without a complete body.

In such a complex chaos, it is extremely difficult to protect oneself. Not every general has the military power and leadership of Lu Cheng.

After the battle, Lu Cheng's 3,000 cavalrymen also suffered a lot of losses. Command the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, find the bodies of their own people, find a suitable place, temporarily bury the dead soldiers and mark them, so that these soldiers can return home in the future.

As early as after the Yangwei Army was officially established, Lu Cheng asked the craftsman department to make a bronze plate with an identity number for each soldier to facilitate the determination of the identity information of the soldiers who died in the battle and the issuance of pensions.

This small identity card also made all the soldiers feel respected and belonging.

In this era, ordinary soldiers have no identity to speak of. They are just numbers that can be sacrificed at any time, not to mention any pensions.

The Yangwei Army's perfect logistics support, medical assistance, and pension system that never discounts or delays also frees the soldiers from worries and allows them to charge more wantonly on the battlefield.

Moreover, since Lu Cheng started, every soldier who died in battle has the most complete information record, including when and where he was born, how many people in his family, his growth experience from childhood to adulthood, why he joined the Yangwei Army, what battles he experienced, how many merits he made, and in which battle he died, etc.

Nowadays, in southern Liaoning, Jinzhou, and Xijin Prefecture, there are martyrs' shrines to enshrine the tablets of the soldiers who died in battle. There is a hero book in each martyrs' shrine, which records the information of each martyr according to his native place and years of enlistment.

After an ordinary person joins the Yangwei Army and undergoes three months of recruit training, he will receive ideological education, visit the martyrs' shrine, and listen to the deeds of the heroes.

And there will be monuments and memorial halls in the military academies and schools in southern Liaoning.

All those who died in battle for Lu Cheng will receive the most generous treatment for their families, with fixed allowances every month and every year, and subsidies for children's education and elderly care.

It is precisely because of these measures that the soldiers of the Yangwei Army have a stronger sense of honor and loyalty, and they are not afraid of death at the critical moment.

Strict military discipline, scientific training methods, perfect logistics support, and wise leaders have created an iron army.

Even if Lu Cheng takes his soldiers to die, they will not have any fear.

After burying all the dead comrades, Lu Cheng led the rest of the soldiers to pay tribute to the simple graves, and then took them away to the new scene.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the battles on other battlefields, Lu Cheng did not hesitate to use himself as bait, just to mobilize more troops to encircle himself. Now, the battle has just begun.

Accompanied by a loud cry, a steppe eagle galloped over and landed in front of Lu Cheng, bringing the latest news from Huanglongfu. The main force of the Jin army in the rear has set off and headed straight for the battlefield where Lu Cheng is.

At the same time, Pang

Wan Chun, Hua Rong, Lu Da and others also sent out their own troops. Almost all the troops in southern Liaoning, Jinzhou, Laizhou and Xijin Prefecture were mobilized.

However, in order not to attract the attention of the enemy, the troops from various places were attacked in batches, leaving the city at night and marching in secret.

Two nights later, Hua Rong led his troops to lurk under the city of Tongzhou. He first sent elite scouts to sneak across the moat with the help of special equipment, placed explosive packs under the city gate, and then ignited the fuse and lowered the drawbridge.

With a deafening explosion, before the Jin army in Tongzhou City could react, Hua Rong had already led his troops to attack the city and personally charged forward, shooting sharp arrows with his strong bow to clear the way for his troops.

This Tongzhou siege turned into a street fight in a short period of time. The Yangwei Army, which had conducted street fighting training exercises in advance, soon relied on sophisticated crossbows, simple grenades, incendiary cans and other weapons to suppress the Jin soldiers.

Just after the siege of Tongzhou began, Pang Wanchun also led his troops to Longhuazhou and started another battle.

At the same time, Lu Da and Shi Jin also led their troops and horses along the southern border of Liao State, all the way west, and caught the Liao border army off guard.

A few days later, on a grassland somewhere in the north, Lu Cheng once again led his cavalry to hold a simple funeral for his brothers who had just died in the battle.

This was the third funeral that Lu Cheng held with his soldiers since the start of the war.

During this period, Lu Cheng led his cavalry to harass and mobilize the main forces of the Jin and Liao sides, and experienced more than a dozen battles, large and small. The original 3,000 cavalry were less than 2,000.

Many times, facing the heavy pursuit of Jin and Liao, there was no extra time to collect the bodies of the soldiers' comrades, and each grassroots officer could only temporarily do a good job of statistics.

Almost every day, soldiers died or went missing. The final list would be reported to Lu Cheng, who would keep it and make detailed statistics and arrangements after the war.

Generals die in a hundred battles, and warriors return in ten years.

In the battlefield, casualties are inevitable. Even if Lu Cheng has invincible strength, he cannot take care of every soldier around him.

Looking at the soldiers around him, Lu Cheng said loudly: "Soldiers, victory is in sight. These dead brothers are watching us, watching us win this battle and conquer a large piece of land, so that our descendants will not be bullied and enjoy peace forever!

Raise your heads, polish your swords and guns, feed your horses, and continue to fight with me!"
