Chapter 808 Who is the world's number one army (2)
Wuzhou Fortress was once again in the hands of the Han army after three days.
Yi Zong rode a war horse and led a group of Han cavalry, walking in the burning Wuzhou Fortress.
This military fortress is now completely filled with dead bodies and blood.
Hundreds of Huns corpses lay scattered on both sides of the street.
But on both sides of the long street, there were more Hun prisoners kneeling.
The officer responsible for counting the results of the battle was leading his men to count the number of prisoners and the severed heads.
"Why are the Huns so invincible?" Some Han generals swelled up in face of victory.
Taking Wuzhou Fortress was not an easy task for the hussar army commanded by Yi Zong.
As the vanguard of the Confederate cavalry, they rushed into the Wuzhou Fortress with only one charge.
Then, the army surrounded them, and the battle was resolved within two hours.
The Xiongnu garrison at Wuzhou Fortress was almost completely wiped out.
"Your Majesty, in this battle, our army beheaded 408 people, killed one prisoner from the household, one from Guduhou, and seven people below Xiao Wang, captured 1,032 people, and captured more than 7,800 war horses.
There are more than 13,000 cattle, sheep and livestock!" An excited captain waved the battle report in his hand and reported happily: "What a great victory!"
"I want to fly to Chang'an immediately to report victory to His Majesty!" After hearing this, a school captain started dancing excitedly.
The Han and Hungarians fought dozens of battles and hundreds of major and minor battles.
However, in all the wars between the two countries in history, so far, the highest-ranking general killed in the Han army was Sun Xun, the captain of the Northern Territory.
As for the Xiongnu, the highest-ranking nobleman who died in the battle was just a major member of the Qiequ family.
In the Battle of Wuzhou, the results obtained in two hours were enough at any time in the past for the general of the army to be granted the title of Marquis, and for all the meritorious soldiers below to be promoted to the third level!
Yi Zong squinted his eyes and looked at his excited subordinates. He said, "What is there to be proud and happy about?"
"What our army defeated was just a miscellaneous Xiongnu tribe..." He said: "It's not like the formation killed Yin Zhixie!"
But in fact, his heart is similar to that of other captains, captains, captains, Sima and even soldiers.
They were victorious and achieved a result that ranked among the top ten in the number of beheadings and prisoners among the wars of the past decades.
Under a system like the Han Dynasty, all soldiers, including him, who participated in the war were bound to be rewarded as long as they returned to the court.
But Yi Zong knows very well that now is not the time to be proud and complacent.
As he said, what he destroyed was just a small tribe in the Xiongnu country that didn't even have a name.
A truly powerful, fierce and terrifying enemy is coming!
"What are the casualties of our army in this battle?" Yi Zong is now more concerned about the capture of Wuzhou Fortress and the losses of the Hussars.
"Only fourteen of our troops were killed and more than seventy wounded!" The military judge responsible for recording the results of the battle couldn't help but said: "The king's troops are really sharp, and he is worthy of the Prime Minister's disciples!"
This is indeed the greatest victory achieved by the Han army against the Xiongnu in history.
An entire Hun cavalry group was wiped out, and the losses suffered were minimal.
Before today, even the Northern and Southern armies with eyes on their foreheads could not imagine such a glorious victory.
More importantly, the amount of money seized was so huge that it made people crazy!
The 7,800 war horses alone can already cover the entire military expenditure of the Hussars Army for this expedition!
Originally, the seizures and so on, to be honest, had nothing to do with the military.
However, the emperor issued an edict this year announcing the redistribution of the spoils captured by the army.
According to this new allocation plan.
The army captured, especially the Yi Di.
You only need to turn over 30% and put it into the national treasury.
Of the remaining 70%, half will be distributed among the meritorious officers and soldiers who participated in the war according to their merits, and the remaining half will be distributed among the entire army according to their military rank and title.
Moreover, according to this policy, the commander-in-chief of the army and officers above the rank of general will not participate in the distribution of spoils.
Their merits and rewards will be decided by the imperial court through a court meeting.
With the quota for the head coach reduced, all the hussars in the battle will be able to get a generous share of the spoils.
Especially the group of Confederate cavalry who took the lead in charging into Wuzhou Fortress. Now, almost every one of them is guaranteed to get a war horse!
And, it's different from the past.
Based on the latest military law, the officers who tallied the results of the battle had immediately informed everyone in clear language about the proportion of the spoils that meritorious soldiers and generals would receive.
An easy victory in battle and a generous loot quota that comes with it.
The morale of the entire army suddenly rose.
"I didn't do anything, but I can get a lamb and a reward of one thousand yuan?" Even Tian Jian, who was busy cleaning Yi Zong in the camp outside the city, suddenly
A military judge informed him that he was also involved.
"Young Master, you can't say that..." the military judge said: "According to military law, even the horsemen and the civilian men who transport supplies should share in the spoils as long as the army wins and captures something!"
"What's more, as a hussar general, the young man cleans the inside and outside and organizes documents, which is also a service to the army..." The military judge left with a smile.
Tian Jian's entire body was petrified.
Facts have proven that mental stimulation and material rewards have always been the best means to boost military morale.
When a man joins the army, what he wants is to honor his ancestors and have a wife and children.
If you can't get honors by joining the army, you won't be able to get enough material rewards.
Among all the men in the world, who would still want to be a soldier?
A good man, sitting at home, holding a book and shaking his head, isn't it safe and elegant?
The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court, but if the reward reaches ten thousand gold, the son of a rich man will be willing to take a knife and go to the battlefield to fight.
At this moment, the entire hussar army, nearly ten thousand cavalrymen, became extremely excited and excited under such material and mental stimulation.
Especially the cavalry from Yunzhong County can't wait to challenge the next opponent.
Countless people, at this moment, have only one thought in their minds - to get so much loot by wiping out a miscellaneous tribe.
What if big tribes like Zhelan, Aries, and Loufan were wiped out?
Even if you capture King Youxian of the Xiongnu alive, how much benefit will you gain from this?
Although many people know that so many were captured this time, it is actually because this is the Wuzhou Fortress, and most of the cattle, horses and livestock here are other Xiongnu tribes who stayed here and did not take them away.
However, it is said that the human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.
It's like someone bought a two-color ball and saw on the computer that he had won six numbers.
Of course he would fantasize about the happy life after winning the seventh number.
"After this battle, I will be able to add several cows and horses to my family!" Many soldiers, holding weapons, fell into sweet longing.
With cattle, horses and livestock and reward money, the parents at home no longer need to work hard.
The wife no longer needs to worry about calculating the use of every copper coin every day.
The children can also wear brand new clothes, eat delicious sweets, and even go to school like the children of the gentry in the village.
In this way, the fate of the whole family can be changed.
Even those officers who came from landlord and official families were excited.
They can allocate a larger share of the spoils than soldiers.
Some people have even calculated that in this battle, he doubled his family's assets!
"Ah..." Some people couldn't help but pray to the gods: "Taiyi, Five Emperors, Eight Lords and Gods, please send an enemy to me!"
