Below, Shen Tang, who was in charge of the central army, kept staring at the movement halfway up the mountain.
Suddenly, the rain of arrows and trees and rocks scattered on the mountainside stopped abruptly, and trees could be seen swaying in the distance.
"Haha, do you want to run?"
Shen Tang sneered, "Barumu! You personally lead five thousand cavalry around the east side of the mountain. If you see enemy troops appearing, don't rush to attack. After they are completely out of the range of the mountain, the remaining Things, you know what to do.
If they surrender, they will be temporarily detained. If they continue to resist... they will be killed without mercy!"
The reason why the Jin soldiers are powerful is precisely because of their cavalry, and a large part of the reason why the cavalry is powerful is their speed and cavalry shooting skills.
The ambush troops hidden in the mountains probably didn't have many cavalry. When they left the mountains, they were just living targets in the eyes of the golden soldiers.
At that time, if you don't surrender, there will be only death.
"As you command!"
Balumu said excitedly, as Shen Tang thought, this is the most suitable way for Jin soldiers to attack.
The ambush troops halfway up the mountain were withdrawn, leaving the soldiers fighting with the Song army to become a lone army! Originally, they had no advantage in the battle with the Song army. When the spearmen from behind surrounded them, They no longer had any hope of victory, and they turned into corpses under the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.
Some people fled in a hurry, but what awaited them was the fate of being strangled.
"Clean the battlefield!"
Seeing that the battle halfway up the mountain had come to an end, Shen Tang gave the order again!
Although they were in a barren mountain, Shen Tang still gave these people the final dignity! At the foot of the mountain, two large pits were dug, and corpses were thrown into them. Then, flames rose up, And these dead soldiers also left the world in the flames.
From the beginning to the end of the war, according to statistics, 2,800 enemy troops were temporarily strangled and 400 were captured! On the Song Dynasty, hundreds of people were injured in the initial ambush and arrow rain. Later, during the attack on the mountain, Hundreds more people were injured in the battle, and a total of more than 1,500 Song soldiers died in the battle! A few soldiers looked silent, they were sad because of Pao Ze's death, but most of the Song soldiers had relaxed faces.
After this battle, the enemy made a surprise attack, but their side was able to eliminate the ambush at a very small cost. Such a victory was worthy of their pride.
As for those who died, these people were not without sadness.
However, such scenes have appeared too many times in their lives, and their originally angry hearts have already become a little numb.
After all, maybe in the next moment, I will go with these robes, so what is there to be sad about now?
A general will inevitably die in battle! Death in a battle is not an unacceptable thing for soldiers.
"Commander, the battlefield has been cleaned and more than 400 prisoners are under temporary custody!"
Yuhou, the military capital who led the troops to fight, reported to Shen Tang.
Shen Tang nodded slightly and said, "Lead the troops back to the battlefield! Order the secretary to record everyone's military achievements in detail.
In addition, if there is anyone who pretends to have merit, the commander above will be demoted by one level, and the commander below will be beheaded! If anyone wants to be greedy for the military merits obtained by his subordinates who fought to the death, they should first ask about the blade in my hand."
“Furthermore, after military merit is recorded, it must be known to the entire army.
Anyone who has any doubts can ask for a re-examination of military merit to the next level.
Furthermore, the review process must be documented.
However, things come down to three things. If there are any misbehaviors, I will punish them severely."
It is almost normal for people to take advantage of themselves in the military! Why do people with backgrounds get promoted faster?
It is because they can obtain military merit more easily.
However, here in Shen Tang, such an existence will never be tolerated! Every military achievement is obtained by the hard work of each soldier. If anyone wants to take it by chance, Shen Tang will not mind killing.
"The last general is my son, thank you very much, Marshal!"
The army chief, Yu Hou, bowed respectfully to Shen Tang, then turned around and left, announcing Shen Tang's order to the soldiers going out to fight.
When the soldiers heard Shen Tang's order, they were overjoyed! Although some people may still take advantage of the loopholes in the future, at least Shen Tang has tried his best to ensure their fairness and the military merit they deserve! The reason why they are soldiers is that most of them are just In order to earn a living, it would be better if he could have a wife and a wife.
As for the so-called serving the country and the people...well, how can it be so easy?
These soldiers are not superiors, and they will not consider this aspect! Therefore, their requirements are not high.
But now, Shen Tang can treat them like this, which makes them extremely grateful!
After waiting for another hour, Balumu, who had led his troops away, returned.
"Commander, we found more than 3,000 enemy troops, killed more than 2,000, and captured 800! We have captured a Tibetan general and a Poison Ivy general!"
"Okay! Clean the battlefield immediately!"
Half an hour later, the battlefield was all cleaned up!
The reason why every war needs to clean up the battlefield is, first of all, to deal with all the corpses exposed in the wilderness! Whether it is from the environment or from the perspective of human nature, even as enemies, they should at least be given some respect. .
Therefore, it is only natural to burn and bury these corpses.
Secondly, it is to collect some ordnance that can be used repeatedly.
For example, the most commonly used arrows! Although the number of arrows in each army is not small, but now Shen Tang and others are far away in Chengdu, it is extremely difficult to supply. If they fight for a long time, they will naturally have equipment. Inadequate situation.
And these arrows that are shot can be collected and used again and again, and Shen Tang will naturally not waste them in vain.
In addition, other ordnance, armor and other items will also suffer great damage. By cleaning the battlefield, these damaged items can also be supplied back from the enemy.
The entire army returned to its previous state again. Shen Tang gave the order and the army set off and continued to move slowly towards Mianzhou City.
At the same time, the Tubo general and the tribal general were also escorted in front of Shen Tang.
"Commander, these two are the leaders of the ambush on us this time!"
Balumu said to Shen Tang.
Shen Tang nodded and looked at the two people. From their clothes, it was indeed easy to tell their identities and origins.
The eyes of these two people naturally fell on Shen Tang. However, looking at Shen Tang's young face, their eyes could not help but show surprise.
