I’m Marquis in Great Tang

After Xue Rengui stood still, he reported: “His Majesty, we have killed more than 112,000 Tang Army soldiers in this battle. He said that he was not polite. , Changbaipo has completely become a meat grinder on the front line. Countless Tang Army died here. Counting the number of Tang Army we killed in Changbaipo’s battle before, and the number of Tang Army we killed in this battle. It is already around 150,000.”

“Although Li Shimin had retreated before, he retreated because of his low strength, and when we covered it, many Tang Army fled. In the end Li Shimin’s side , The force will not exceed 10,000. Perhaps some Tang Army soldiers will return one after another, but for us, this battle is not just in name only, but also in reality, annihilating Great Tang’s vital forces.”

“On the contrary, the number of soldiers who surrendered is surprising. Only more than 1,600 Tang Army soldiers surrendered.”

“Most of those who were caught by us fought dead.”

“Tang Army, worthy of being an elite.”

Xue Rengui talked eloquently and continued: “In this battle, our army has killed as many as 86,000. Yu Ren, this is the summary of all the deaths in the battle before and after the war. Today, our military strength is only more than 30,000, but there are still many serious injuries. The number of soldiers who can really fight is only more than 20,000. Our loss , Is also quite large.”

“After all, the troops remaining on this line in Suzhou are those of humble positions and General Xiao, and Su Dingfang still left a portion, which is about 120,000. Well, In fact, there is also the elephant army under Zuo Xianfeng, which has actually lost part of it.”

“In short, we also lost a lot.”

“At least for a short time, yes There is no way to fight anymore.”

Xue Rengui said: “But no matter what, even if we paid a high price, our gains today are huge. Great Tang has been impossible to attack since then. On the contrary. It’s us who have the opportunity to attack. The offensive and defensive trend between Great Tang and Xia Country has really changed.”

When he said this remark, Xue Rengui was very motivated.

Extremely excited.

Because next, it is Xia Country attacking Great Tang instead of Great Tang continuing to attack Xia Country.

Xiao Yuanqi also said: “Actually, even the losses in Jiuquan County are included, the Tang Army has lost more troops. After all, in Jiuquan, the Tang Army has 60,000 elites, almost annihilated. Now, in Great Tang, there are countless people in the chaos, and countless soldiers have been damaged, making it worse.”

Du Qi nodded.

Although this battle has been won, it is something to be happy about, but the loss of so many troops also makes people feel sad.

These are all great guys from Xia Country.

Du Qi paused for a while and asked: “Are all the corpses of Tang Army soldiers and the corpses of my Xia Country soldiers piled up?”

Xue Rengui said resolutely: “His Majesty, after the soldiers of the Tang Army were piled up, they were already burned. Only the corpses of the soldiers from Xia Country, piled together, have not been burned temporarily, waiting for His Majesty to make a decision.”

Du Qi said: “All the dead have been registered, right?”

Xiao Yuanqi said: “The registration is complete.”

This Xiao Yuanqi was in charge of the matter.

Du Qi once again said: “Has the statistics been obtained by the dead soldiers?”

“Never!”

Xiao Yuanqi shook the head, said: “His Majesty, Statistics is really difficult for this matter. The reason is simple. They killed people when they were alive, but they have died, and they cannot count the number of people killed by Statistics.”

Du Qi was slightly silent, and suddenly said: “Although their number of beheads cannot be Statistics, but the soldiers who survived in the army know the number of beheads they got, right?”

Xiao Yuanqi said: “I know!”

Du Qi said: “Then arrange the number of dead Tang Army, minus the number of surviving soldiers beheaded, and the number obtained is The number of beheadings of all the dead soldiers. All the numbers are divided among the dead soldiers as their merits. Although many people were actually killed by artillery shells or grenades. But right now, it is also They are counted together. These military exploits and their pensions will be distributed together.”

Xiao Yuan heard this strangely: “All Listens to your Majesty!”

As a general in the army, he was grateful to hear Du Qi’s arrangement, which obviously took care of the dead soldiers.

Du Qi continued to instructed: “You two’s army has suffered countless damages, and many of the army’s organizational systems have been broken up. But the following organizational systems cannot be deleted. The army should be promoted. Promote up and arrange the main responsible generals. In the next step, we will recruit soldiers to supplement the number.”

“The ministers do it!”

Xiao Yuanqi and Xue Rengui answered together. .

In the two armies, their respective strengths are not much, and part of the military organization of Su Dingfang is involved. Now, according to the original organizational arrangements, many people can be promoted.

Although fighting on the battlefield is cruel.

However, fighting on the battlefield also means opportunity. As long as they can make meritorious service, as long as they can survive, they can rise in the army. This is extremely realistic.

Du Qi instructed: “You have spent such a long time counting, so the soldiers in the army should be almost rested. You must gather all the soldiers to commemorate the dead.”

p>

“Yes!”

The two responded together.

Turn around to arrange.

Du Qi waited for a while, but also came out of the self-employed tent, reached Changbaipo, and walked to all the piles of corpses. Densely packed corpses, piled together to form a mountain of corpses. Even in the surrounding area, there were dark red bloodstains everywhere, because the fighting was too tragic, and both sides died and injured too many people.

After Du Qi arrived, Li Jing, Shangguan Yi and the others all arrived, followed by all the soldiers.

These soldiers looked solemn.

Many people have expressions of sadness on their faces.

In front of all the soldiers, Du Qi pointed to the mountain of corpses, and shouted: “The countless soldiers who died here are the heroes of my Great Xia Country. Soldiers, for Xia Country throws their heads and blood, they are here to fight for the long-term stability of Xia Country.”

“They are the heroes of Xia Country.”

“They are Xia Country’s Guardian God.”

Although Du Qi’s voice is low, it is loud and loud. Following his conclusion, these dead soldiers are the heroes of Xia Country and the Guardian God of Xia Country.

One by one, the living soldiers looked solemnly.

It is even more empathetic.

Because they are also soldiers, Du Qi’s attitude towards soldiers also means Du Qi’s attitude towards them. Therefore, Du Qi’s conclusion of the coffin has made all soldiers grateful to Du Qi from the bottom of their hearts.

Du Qi glanced over the soldiers present, and suddenly raised his voice and said: “Come on, carry the hero monument.”

As Du Qi ordered, there was The soldier came carrying a stone tablet.

This stone tablet is shaped like a rectangular parallelepiped. It is twelve feet high, seven feet wide, and three feet thick. The front is carved with five characters of hero monument, some patterns are carved on the side, and there is an inscription on the front. , Is dedicated to commemorating the battle, recording the time, place, and the number of people killed in the battle, and finally the meaning of the battle. Below the inscription, is the base of the stone tablet.

This is what Du Qi had arranged to excavate in the mountain when the battle was at the end. It was excavated as a whole, so we could find such a piece of blue stone with a length of 12 feet. The soldiers simply couldn’t lift such a piece of stone tablet, they put the stone tablet on the logs, and then slowly moved forward.

The appearance of this stone tablet shocked countless people.

All the soldiers were surprised.

No one thought that Du Qi had prepared such a stone tablet. Even Xiao Yuanqi and Xue Rengui didn’t know. In fact, the people who know are Shangguan Yi, Li Jing and the others.

Du Qi looked at the stone tablet he pushed over, and made people dug a big hole. Because there are so many soldiers, the deep pit was dug out in a short time, and Du Qi ordered: “Stand up!”

To stand up the stele, it takes too many soldiers, one by one. Before, there was even someone pulling it with a rope in front of him, and it took Erhu’s effort to finally erect the stone tablet.

The stone tablet was standing on the Changbaipo, Du Qi looked at the stone tablet standing up with solemn expression.

The soldiers are also very solemn.

Everyone, looking at the stone tablet on this side, a touch of movement appeared on their faces. When they looked towards Du Qi, the expression was even more admired. Because of what Du Qi did, he didn’t forget and ignore them, the most powerful soldiers at the bottom.

Du Qi took the wine bottle from the soldier’s hand and started to toast to the stone tablet. When the wine was spilled in front of the stone tablet, Du Qi shouted: “The heroic spirit is forever, and the soul returns!”

“The soul returns!”

Du Qi shouted loudly With.

“The soul is coming back!”

“The soul is coming back!”

……

The soldiers followed and shouted.

More and more soldiers shouted, and the shouts of tens of thousands of people echoed in the air. There was solemnity and nostalgia in the voice. This is the tribute to the tens of thousands of soldiers who survived.

After Du Qi and other officers finished their shouts, they ordered the ignition. After the order was given, a torch was thrown over, because the piles of corpses had already been spilled with fire oil, and spirits had already been poured, so when the torch was thrown over, the fire quickly ignited, forming a raging fire.

Du Qi looked at the burning fire, paid attention to it for a while, then looked towards all the soldiers in the array. He looked at all the Xia Country soldiers and shouted: “My sons, we went to war with Great Tang and won. I, Xia Country, won.”

The soldiers suddenly cheered.

Victory.

They finally won.

Du Qi allowed the soldiers to cheer. After the cheers were over, Du Qi continued: “But the hatred of Xia Country and Great Tang will not end. The countless soldiers who died will not be in vain. Death. We have now captured Suzhou. The next step is to kill Great Tang. In Xia Country, I will not break Great Tang. I promise not to stop.”

“If we don’t break Great Tang, I promise not to stop.”

Among the soldiers, some generals shouted.

“If you don’t break Great Tang, you won’t give up!”

“If you don’t break Great Tang, you won’t stop!”

……

More and more soldiers chanted. In today’s situation, Xia Country has clearly taken advantage. Therefore, the soldiers of Xia Country hope to win Great Tang.

Du Qi said a few more words, then disbanded the soldiers, and sent the soldiers to rest on the spot in order to restore the battle strength. And Du Qi took the civilian officers and generals under his command and returned to the Chinese Army’s big account.

Du Qi looked towards Li Jing, Shangguan Yi and others, said solemnly: “Li Shimin has withdrawn, and we have won this first stage. The next first stage is to enter the Great Tang. For this , What do you guys think?”
