Indeed, what Li Cong said makes sense. People who work hard for you are so good, but you are not even willing to spend this little money. This has become a problem, and you will definitely not be able to support it in the future. Li Cong also saw this during the war.
In this era, the abilities of these heavy infantry and cavalry have come. The original intention is to build the most powerful army to see if they have any trump cards. Maybe there are some other trump cards in the army, but that's not all. There may be more.
He has not reached that level. He has not reached that level. He should have arrived at Dingxianghou. Otherwise, he would not be able to command an army of nearly one million. Li Cong asked people to transport some weapons and equipment. In this battle, Li Cong's soldiers lost a lot of money.
, thousands of people died in the battle, and more than 500 people died in Shanzi Camp, but this number is simply insignificant compared to the enemy. (Reading)
"Alas, the empire only gave them 1 gold coin each as a blood reward, which is quite a lot. But many of them are the breadwinners of their families. War is like this. If they were alive, the reward would definitely be more than this.
, but this is what it will be like if you die in battle." When Li Cong arrived at the county seat, Wu Hai was silently looking at the corpse that was carried out. Li Cong didn't know anything about this pension matter, so he only heard about it now.
Wu Hai said that this kind of pension system seems to be different from that on Earth. On Earth, those who died in battle received a lot of compensation, but those who survived did not receive much bonus. Unexpectedly, it was the opposite here.
"This is an old tradition of the empire. The general may have just joined the army and doesn't know much about this. Our empire has a population of three billion on the surface. In fact, many places hide the population. It would be good to pay less taxes. I guess
The population of our empire must be at least 3.5 billion. With so many people, the empire only has an army. If they die, they will die. They can be replenished quickly, and those who survive must be from all aspects.
The elites of the empire thought that retaining those idiots might not necessarily lead to victory, so they might as well give more money to these elites. Just like in this siege, everyone alive would be rewarded with fifty gold coins.
If the battle is all over, it is estimated that the most ordinary infantryman can carry a few hundred gold coins, and the dead man only has a hundred gold coins. Alas." Wu Hai also loves his soldiers like his own son, but it is a pity that he treats these
We don’t understand the dark things yet, so if you feel sorry for them, just give them some. Your confession of merit yesterday was not in vain. It was a gold ticket worth 300,000 gold coins. If you take that, you can die for these people.
They have received a lot more money. Of course, Li Cong would not do such a thing to dismantle my backstage. I dare not say that if such a thing is done, but it is definitely not a good thing.
"Since everyone eats from the same pot, everyone in Kahuan County will receive five hundred gold coins in blood money when they die. It is all donated by some businessmen in our county. I think you are also following us here.
It's the same there, I can't let you take the blame, this is a golden ticket, you take it first, and when you return to the city, I will exchange it for gold coins and issue them to you." Li Cong took out a ticket worth five hundred thousand gold coins and said.
, In fact, Li Cheng gave the soldiers one thousand gold coins before, but it is not very big to give you five hundred gold coins. If you don't give it, you can't do this to us. Anyway, this money belongs to our county.
The ones in the city were not given by the empire.
Wu Hai obviously didn't expect that Li Cong would do that. Five hundred thousand gold coins is not a small amount. Although he has seen a lot of money, it is not real. Moreover, although he is nominally his boss, anyone with a discerning eye will see this.
It was a secondment. Even if the money was given, it was impossible for the administrative district to reimburse them. Wu Hai did not push it anymore. His money could allow these families who died in the war to receive a lot of compensation. One hundred gold coins was enough.
Many soldiers are in provincial capitals. If they are in the countryside, a family can still live for a year, but in a place like a provincial capital, let alone a year, even a month may not be possible. Wu Hai
So he accepted it, but he remembered the kindness.
The main battlefield in the distance is not over yet. The cavalry commanded by Dingxianghou is attacking the rebels back and forth. However, because the number of rebels is too large, millions of people are in chaos. Dingxianghou commanded
All of Li Cong's 20,000 cavalry were buried. The emperor's pro-army troops also dispatched at this time. Thousands of heavy cavalry were basically better equipped than Li Cong's cavalry. They rushed in from the side. At the beginning
It indeed played a very ineffective role. A large number of rebels were knocked away by them. They were about to rush to the center to join the cavalry of Dingxiang Hou. However, after all, they lost thousands of people during the march.
Not small, their speed slowly weakened until they could no longer be seen. His Majesty the Emperor's three thousand heavy cavalry were all killed within two hours. It seems that the rebels' human wave tactics were indeed
It's very powerful. We have a lot of people. Your cavalry came in and killed 30,000 of us. We have a lot of people. The rebels held tens of millions of people hostage. They don't care at all that you are a human being. As long as you have the strength, they will kill you.
I have to grab a weapon and charge. Anyway, if you just go up and block a knife, it's your ability. With this kind of thinking, it's naturally not cheap to be in charge of Xianghou.
Seeing that Dingxiang Hou's 20,000 cavalry were about to be destroyed inside, it was just that at this time they did not dare to call the cavalry to rush in casually. They had already lost all 3,000 of His Majesty's troops. How could the cavalry of other armies be so bad?
Awesome? At this time, Marquis Dingxiang regretted sending Li Cong's army to attack Hua County. If Li Cong's cavalry were here, they would have been able to rush in and rescue them. Now we can only rescue them all.
The army pressed on.
As soon as the general in charge of Dingxiang waved his flag, one hundred thousand heavy infantrymen formed a huge snake formation and began to walk forward step by step. Their neat steps shocked the rebels. Those who were close to them
The rebels were already a little scared at this time. Many people were already a little scared at this time, but seeing the scared eyes behind them, they all went to the battlefield together as a whole family, and those in the front were from stronger families.
The people behind them are the old, weak, sick and disabled in the family. If the people in front of them don't fight hard, the children behind may suffer, so they can't retreat. A dozen people shouted loudly, they don't have heavy
Iron armor, but they were also given the task of dealing with these heavy infantry. A dozen of them jointly lifted a huge stone, and many people also started to lift the stone, although the few people in front would still be blocked.
The spears sticking out from the back of the formation were stabbed to death, but more people could still push the stones in, so that the heavy infantry would have a gap. If the people behind them couldn't get up, they would have a chance to attack. It's really
Not to mention relying on this stone strategy, they really opened a gap with the heavy phalanx, but they also paid the price of tens of thousands of people. Once the heavy phalanx loses its formation, they will face bad consequences.
That's the end, but the light infantry behind the heavy phalanx also moved up to kill them at this time. After all, they are all a group of farmers, and there is still a big gap between them and these official troops. The rebels looked at the situation.
It may turn out to be one-sided, and the troops will be withdrawn immediately. Dingxiang Hou will not suffer the loss here, and the two sides will temporarily stop fighting.
The rebels not only lost Hua County, but also lost nearly 200,000 people. Adding the 200,000 people in Hua County, the rebels lost nearly 600,000 people within two days of the war.
Apart from the children who make them feel distressed, these people don't feel distressed. Hundreds of thousands of people don't count to them. In fact, what some rebel generals want in their minds is that the more people die, the better. Anyway, there is no need.
There was so much food and grass, and their idea was to use these people to consume it. They would have completed the task by consuming coal for the imperial army. This time they had gained a lot, losing 600,000 people. Their
The results of the battle were also brilliant. The first one was that the three thousand heavy cavalry of His Majesty the Emperor's army were killed by them. This made General Guo very distressed. Ten thousand cavalry came, but now 30% of them were lost. This was just the beginning of the war.
On the first day, it seemed that it was impossible for him to make any meritorious service. It was estimated that he would be dismissed from his post due to unfavorable results in the united front. Marquis Dingxiang was also in a bad mood. More than half of his 20,000 heavy cavalry were also killed or injured.
The heavy infantry also suffered more than 20,000 casualties. Although many rebels died, but they all, the ratio is actually different. Look at Li Cong's loss of 1,000 people but killed 150,000 people. They
Isn't the loss very big? However, Li Cong still won a lot of achievements for them in this battle, that is, Li Cong captured Hua County.
Li Cong also praised Wu Hai in his memorial. After reading it, Marquis Dingxiang was very satisfied. It seemed that the 20,000 people lost were not there, so he immediately ordered people to rush to the imperial capital. It seemed that this time he was a fool.
There should be no problem with the general. Li Cong has just been promoted to the fifth rank. The most he can do is give some gold and silver. It is impossible to be promoted again, otherwise he will be promoted too fast. It was really bad back then.
I didn't look at this kid.
Dingxiang Hou set up a large rescue force 500 meters in front of the rebels. The rebels were no longer afraid of the official army. They fought in one day. Although they suffered a lot of losses, everyone actually won with their human wave tactics.
, the leader of the rebels, Urak, also came to the front line in the evening. He was originally in the county town, but now he heard that the Emperor's personal soldiers had been killed. He was extremely happy, and brought dozens of robbed soldiers.
Ten thousand gold coins are coming to the labor force. Of course, he will not bring gold coins, so no one can share them. He just brings silver coins. If he doesn't feel too stingy, maybe this guy will bring copper coins.
Here, a county and several counties have all been robbed by this guy. Now this guy is also very rich. Hundreds of thousands of gold coins are a piece of cake for him, but for these peasant soldiers
It's a lot of assets, and they were very happy to see them partying all night long.
However, when they were happy, they did not have an army aimed at them. This was Li Cong's five thousand light cavalry. The Marquis of Dingxiang allocated another two thousand light cavalry to Li Cong and asked Li Cong to face the enemy at night.
The battalion carried out a night attack, with 90,000 troops from three counties and cities pressing down behind. Once Li Cong succeeded, he would rush in immediately. The shame of the day would be taken at night. After receiving the order, Li Cong led 5,000 light cavalry from
Hua County, the two thousand light cavalry given to Li Cong by Dingxiang Marquis are not capable of commanding them. However, Li Cong brought Wu Hai here. You don't listen to me, but you should listen to your young master.
Sure enough, several people who had no respect for Li at first bowed and stood up one by one when they saw their young master.
"Meng Tian, I'll leave it to you tonight, I'll be waiting for you here." Li Cong said with a smile, we don't have the ability to do things like night attacks, but as a victorious general, Meng Tian
