Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife
#76 - Chapter 76: Rewards before the Battle
The Tiele army and the Liang army fought for two consecutive days.
At least several thousand Tiele soldiers died on the river beach on the south bank of the Chishui River.
This is a rare great victory for the Liang army in decades.
Once this news spreads back to the capital of Great Liang, it will definitely shake the court and the public.
Bai Jing overlooked the river beach and breathed a long sigh of relief.
After this battle, my Bai family and my own title of Dragon骧 Marquis are considered stable.
She turned her head again and looked at Li Yuan not far away, her thoughts surging in her heart.
This feeling is an inexplicable sense of security. When Li Yuan stands by her side, she feels very at ease.
Perhaps the female Marquis herself didn't realize that her dependence on Li Yuan has subtly become very deep.
Li Yuan felt the gaze, looked up and saw the female Marquis looking at him.
A strong sense of gratitude seemed to be revealed in her sparkling eyes.
Li Yuan's heart moved, and he hurried forward, cupping his hands and saluting to the female Marquis.
"This subordinate congratulates the Marquis on her great victory."
The female Marquis's eyes were full of smiles.
"This is all thanks to Colonel Li's ingenious plan, you deserve the first credit."
Li Yuan then continued to advise.
"This subordinate dares not take the credit."
"Marquis, we should immediately send out the Dragon骧 Army to cut off the heads of the Tiele people."
"Collect the Tiele people's armor, weapons, and horses."
"These can be used to replenish our army's equipment."
Hearing this, the Dragon骧 Marquis immediately understood and nodded quickly, saying.
"Colonel Li is right, I will arrange it now."
Immediately, a thousand Dragon骧 troops, along with two thousand civilian soldiers, rushed to the river beach to kill the wounded Tiele soldiers and collect weapons.
In the end, the Liang army斩得more than 1,500 Tiele heads.
Including the heads obtained yesterday, the Dragon骧 Marquis now has as many as 2,400 heads in his hands.
Yesterday and today, the Liang army has seized more than 1,600 war horses before and after.
There were also nearly a thousand horse carcasses, and the abundant horse meat greatly replenished the Liang army's rations.
In addition, more than 1,300 sets of various leather armor inlaid with iron armor were seized, and there were even more Tiele leather robes.
And the intact full-body lamellar armor worn by the Tiele armored soldiers numbered more than 800 sets, and there were more than 100 sets of various damaged armor.
And there was an countless number of weapons such as scimitars, spears, and battle axes.
Because the Tiele people had the habit of carrying valuables with them, tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver were found on these corpses.
The price paid by the Liang army was that more than 450 civilian soldiers were killed in the melee on the ridge.
Looking at the rich spoils, the Dragon骧 Marquis was overjoyed.
Not to mention anything else, just the 800 sets of full-body lamellar armor are an unimaginable huge wealth.
In the Great Liang's military merit system, head counting is the most important.
And the heads of the Tiele people are the first class, that is to say, one Tiele person's head.
Is enough to make an ordinary civilian soldier a squad leader, and two can be promoted to a troop leader.
The two thousand four hundred Tiele heads in the Dragon骧 Marquis's hands are the military merits that countless Great Liang civilian soldiers yearn for.
Of course, sometimes, human heads are inconvenient to preserve and carry. According to the Great Liang military law, as long as the Tiele people's waist牌 (waist tag) seized can be provided, it can also prove military merit.
It's just that not many people in Great Liang recognize the tadpole characters on the Tiele waist牌 (waist tag). Naturally, some Liang troops with active minds will reward and report their achievements separately with the waist牌 (waist tag) and the heads after they have made gains. The court also turns a blind eye to this kind of thing.
And the Tiele waist牌 (waist tag) has also become a key collection of spoils.
"Whether it is ingenuity or martial courage, you are a rare pillar of our army."
"I always reward merits and punish demerits."
"Having made such great contributions, I wonder what reward Colonel Li wants?"
"This..."
Li Yuan began to ponder. Now the Dragon骧 Marquis relies on him quite a bit.
It can be said that the female Marquis is in a good mood now, and as long as the request he makes is not too excessive, it is estimated that she will agree.
He is preparing to form a strong army, so it should be okay to ask for some seized weapons and horses.
Thinking of this, Li Yuan hurriedly cupped his hands and said.
"It is this subordinate's duty to plan for the army, and I dare not take the credit."
"If the Marquis wants to reward me, I would like to form a strong army in my hometown to protect my hometown."
"If the Marquis can bestow some weapons and horses, this subordinate will be grateful."
The Dragon骧 Marquis nodded, she understood.
This Colonel Li wants to form an army in Qingyuan County.
This is not difficult. With the military merits Li Yuan has made so far, and he also has the head of a Tiele centurion in his hands.
Plus her recommendation.
According to the Great Liang military law, this time he can at least be awarded the position of Supervisor.
And in the position of Supervisor, in charge of the military power of a county, he has the right to form local soldiers.
Asking for some weapons and horses is indeed a reasonable choice.
The Dragon骧 Marquis thought for a moment and said.
"How about this, Li Yuan, you have made great contributions to this great victory."
"I will give you two hundred sets of Tiele Protectorate Army iron armor."
"Two hundred Tiele war horses."
"You can also take away some of the good knives, guns, bows and arrows seized this time."
"Colonel Li, are you satisfied with these?"
Hearing this, Li Yuan was a little dumbfounded. This female Marquis is too generous.
Such a big reward would make even a state general happy, right?
My goodness, two hundred sets of Protectorate Army iron lamellar armor.
Me, a small military fortress commandant, oh now a colonel.
Dare I really own two hundred armored soldiers?
Forget it, since the Dragon骧 Marquis has already rewarded it, then I'll just accept it first.
The Dragon骧 Marquis saw that Li Yuan's expression was strange and thought he was not satisfied with the reward.
Thinking about it, the things she rewarded were actually obtained by Li Yuan's own strategy.
Rewarding with things earned by someone else is indeed stingy.
So she said again.
"Colonel Li, if there is anything else you need, you can say it."
Li Yuan hurriedly cupped his hands and replied.
"The Marquis's generous reward makes this subordinate very happy."
"It's just that I have nowhere to store these weapons and horses now, and I'm in trouble."
When the Dragon骧 Marquis heard this, she suddenly understood, so that's what happened, and said.
"What's so difficult about this? These weapons and horses can be stored under the name of my Dragon骧 Army first, and you can withdraw them whenever you need them."
When Li Yuan heard this, it was the best thing. Otherwise, carrying so many weapons and horses would inevitably invite resentment, and he hurriedly thanked the Dragon骧 Marquis.
After rewarding Li Yuan, the Dragon骧 Marquis then struck the assembly drum and summoned the generals at all levels to discuss matters in the central army tent.
The state generals who came this time were all beaming with joy.
They heard that the Marquis had seized a large amount of supplies this time, and gathering the generals at this time must be to distribute rewards.
So everyone was very excited.
Hoping that the Marquis could distribute more weapons to them.
Seeing that the four state generals and dozens of supervisors had all arrived.
The Dragon骧 Marquis sat behind the commander's desk and said solemnly to the generals.
"Our army's great victory this time is due to your brave fighting."
"This great victory has resulted in a very rich seizure, in order to encourage the morale of the three armies."
"I have decided to reward the armies today."
When everyone heard this, it was indeed the case, and everyone smiled.
Several state generals even got up and cupped their hands.
"We are willing to serve the Marquis."
Bai Jing pressed her hand to let them sit down first, and then said.
"The soldiers of each state fought bravely, and they have gained a lot in the past few days."
"Each state will first receive three hundred Tiele heads to ask for credit for the soldiers."
The generals were overjoyed when they heard this.
Ordinary Liang soldiers have to exchange at least three to five lives to kill a Tiele person.
And in Great Liang, to be promoted to a military position, this head merit is essential.
So the heads of the Tiele people are very valuable.
These three hundred heads are the future of many people.
Who wouldn't like it?
