Chapter 771 Thirteenth Lang is willing to admit defeat
The early summer nights are very cool.
This was originally a good night to fall asleep, especially for the physically and mentally exhausted savage prisoners of war, but this night, no one had the intention to sleep.
They all sat there in despair until dawn.
In fact, at midnight, Tangqi came to report that he had achieved a complete victory. The remaining enemies in the riverside camp at the foot of Jinji Mountain finally chose to surrender when they were surrounded on all sides, especially under the sharp attack of rockets, fire, gunfire and poisonous smoke by the Tang army.
They failed to choose a last-ditch fight,
Because under the firearms offensive, they lost their hearts and souls, and no longer had the will to fight or the will to fight.
The battle went more smoothly than Wu Huaiyu expected,
There were 1,500 Xiyuan barbarian rebels, one camp and one camp, but they were completely captured in just one and a half hours. More than a hundred were killed in the formation, and more than 1,300 were captured. No one escaped.
at dawn,
The Jinji Mountain side was finally cleaned up, and the prisoners finally ended their chaotic and embarrassing night under the rising sun.
Their hands were tied with cowhide ropes, and then long ropes were strung around their waists. Under the escort of the Tang army, they arrived at the prisoner of war camp at the foot of Longtou Mountain.
Huang Cheng shed tears when he saw this long line of prisoners of war, many familiar generals, and even his two sons.
He finally admitted that he was defeated,
The defeat was ground-breaking, the defeat was so complete.
The last trace of luck in my heart is gone,
He lost, he also lost the bet,
Thirty-year-old Huang Cheng, a warrior of Huang Jiadong, can be regarded as a tough man. He didn't cry when he was defeated and captured, but now he is crying, crying like a child.
The more he cried, the sadder he became, and finally burst into tears.
His cry caused more than two hundred prisoners around him to cry bitterly.
The more than a thousand prisoners of war who had just arrived also saw Huang Cheng and the others, and saw them crying so hard. They were in shock, sad and frustrated. When they saw this scene, they finally couldn't help crying.
Wu Huaiyu was awakened by the crying and walked out of the tent.
In fact, after he heard that Jinji Village had been conquered last night, he laughed a few times and fell asleep directly in the tent of the prisoner of war camp. He was a little drunk and a little happy, but he slept contentedly until dawn.
Looking at the prisoners holding their heads and crying,
Wu Huaiyu was very calm.
There are only two thousand barbarians in Jinji Mountain, so it is natural for them to be attacked and destroyed.
He walked up to Huang Cheng.
Huang Cheng was hugging his two sons and weeping. The thirty-year-old Huang Cheng and his son were fifteen. The two young men followed Huang Jiadong to Sitongzhou this time. During the battle yesterday morning, they did not follow Huang Cheng, but in the evening
Still didn't escape being captured.
Fortunately, the two young men were also very brave and were not seriously injured in the dark night battle.
They did not expect that father and son would meet again, nor did they expect to meet in this prisoner of war camp.
"Huang Shisan,"
"Wu Xiangguo."
The two faced each other, looking into each other's eyes,
Huang Cheng gritted his teeth, his eyes showing despair but also calmness.
"That bet last night."
"I lost, I lost completely,"
"That?"
"I think,"
Huaiyu smiled, this Huang Thirteenth Man has quite a bit of backbone.
"Tell me what you want me to do."
Huaiyu thought for a while and said, "The two groups of prisoners in Jinji Mountain add up to 1,600 people. I plan to reorganize you."
"The Lingnan Recruitment Camp of the Tang Dynasty is temporarily designated as the Xie Cong Army. There are three battalions under the temporary jurisdiction, each battalion is five hundred. You are appointed as the inspector of the Yongzhou Governor's Office in the Tang Dynasty, Si Tong Prefecture, and the commander of the Xie Cong Army."
Huang Cheng was stunned.
Can't believe it.
Huaiyu smiled and said, "Didn't you say that if you lose, you will surrender to the imperial court and serve the imperial court in conquest?"
He nodded, swallowed his dry throat, "Yes,"
"That's good,"
This Sitong Prefecture did not originally exist. It was a new pseudo-prefecture established by Huang Qian, the puppet Sino-Vietnamese king, in the imperial court. He separated the eastern region and established a new pseudo state. However, Wu Huaiyu now plans to retain this Sitong Prefecture and still call it Huang Cheng As the governor.
Of course, it won't be the same as before.
Therefore, after Wu Huaiyu appointed Huang Cheng as the governor of Sitong Prefecture, he also directly appointed two Tang army civilian military officers who were sent to conquer the camp as chief historian and Sima. Go, and the other three Cao Cao will appoint native people.
The original Dong soldiers were reorganized into the temporary Xie Cong army. The commander was Huang Cheng, but the following three battalion captains were the ones who conducted the camp.
This is the first step in restraint control.
Huang Cheng’s mood was complicated,
"I can agree to the Prime Minister's request, but there is a request."
"explain."
"I can fight for the Prime Minister, but I just ask that I be not allowed to fight against the Huang family." Huang Cheng didn't want his father and son to meet, he didn't want to attack his own village, and he didn't want to face his own people.
"I can promise you this."
"Then please ask the Prime Minister to distribute weapons to us. We are willing to atone for the upcoming battle in Longzhai." Huang Cheng gritted his teeth and said.
But Wu Huaiyu shook his head.
"Don't worry, you have just returned to the imperial court, I plan to let you rest for a while first,"
This break is not just a break. The specific arrangement is to reinforce the Golden Rooster Fort during the day and transform the original stockade into a permanent strong castle.
In the evening, class.
In the one-and-a-half-hour class every night, students receive cultural education from the Chinese Han family of the Tang Dynasty, learn to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, and learn Chinese.
There is no need to train for the time being. Huaiyu's reason is that they have just suffered a defeat and let them relax for a while.
But building a fort during the day and studying at night were arranged very tightly, not to mention that building a fort was definitely not an easy job.
Huang Cheng knew in his heart that he had not yet gained trust, but he just nodded. As a prisoner, having such an arrangement was already a mercy. At least he was neither beaten to death nor sold into slavery.
From now on, they are no longer prisoners of war, but auxiliary soldiers of the Tang Dynasty's expedition camp.
They are all under the camp, not regiment training in Si Tongzhou.
After Wu Huaiyu captured the Jinjibao Village and camp on the west bank, he also successfully removed the west bank reinforcements from Longzhai, and could safely launch a siege on Longzhai.
"Why do you treat these savage prisoners of war so well?"
There is a mountain not far east of Longzhai. This mountain is neither big nor high. It is similar to Jinji Mountain, but it is also a high ground to the east of Longzhai.
The main force of the Tang army camped at the foot of the mountain, across the river from Jinji Mountain, and clamped down on the cage village on the left and right.
Huaiyu set up a seal on Funan Mountain,
When the officers discussed the matter, they didn't quite understand why they should be so polite to the prisoners of war and not mistreat the prisoners. They also wanted Huang Cheng to continue to be the governor of Si Tongzhou, and even reorganized the 1,060 prisoners into the Xingying Xingjun Army.
In the opinion of most people, to deal with the rebels, you must first establish your authority, and the best way to establish your authority is naturally to kill ruthlessly.
"Huang Cheng and his men are still useful. We can attack and appease at the same time. We can't just kill them. We finally meet someone who is willing to cooperate. Of course we need to support them."
"Then why didn't the Prime Minister transfer them to Longzhai to lead the charge?"
Huaiyu shook his head, "They are of great use, I don't intend to just use them here, that would be meaningless."
