Invincible son

Chapter 847 846 [The waves wipe out the heroes]

The Battle of Jiangling came to an end, and after a whole night of calculations and checks by the Military Jurisdiction Office, the battle losses of both sides had a rough result.

According to incomplete statistics, eight generals were killed in battle in the Southern Zhou Dynasty. Among them, Xia Fei, Fang Yunsong, and Fang Huai died at the hands of Pei Yue. More than 6 soldiers were lost and countless injured.This battle severely damaged the Chengbei camp led by Fang Xie Xiao, and the Ningguo camp to the west also suffered heavy losses. The Tibetan front guards first ate up [-] infantry led by Li Cunnian, and then they were killed by Ye Qi in an extremely rare defeat. Roll beaded blinds.

The number of casualties on Daliang's side is more accurate, 470 were killed, [-] were seriously injured, and there were about [-] soldiers who were slightly injured but could continue to fight.

Although the siege party had to pay more casualties from ancient times to the present, Daliang undoubtedly won a hearty victory this time.

In the cool morning light, Pei Yue stood in the courtyard with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression frosty.

Deng Zai and others stood aside, not daring to vent their anger.

After a long time, Pei Yue said sadly: "More than 1000 people..."

When he left the capital, he was surrounded by 1000 men from the Beiwei Camp and 5000 men from the Zangfeng Guards. After the war, 42 good men were buried forever in the land of the southern border.After so many years of experience and tempering, Pei Yue has already understood the truth that kindness does not control soldiers, but people are not ruthless, and there is always a contradiction between understanding the truth and accepting the reality.

Deng Zai said in a deep voice, "Young master, my condolences."

Pei Yue breathed out a foul breath, and said slowly: "These brothers who died in battle, in addition to the imperial court's compensation, you can tell Wang Yong to use the deposit silver of the Xiangyun, and each of them will receive an additional compensation of 200 taels, and go directly to Lingzhou to send them Let Qi Min postpone the construction of Qinzhou Qinyuan, and focus on Lingzhou first, build a Qinyuan in Lingzhou, and open a third Xiangyun at the same time. When recruiting local staff, we give priority to our own relatives , For those old, weak, sick and disabled who lack the ability to work, we will directly support them."

Deng Zai responded, "Yes, young master."

Pei Yue continued: "For those injured brothers, each will be given an extra 50 taels of silver, and the rest will be rewarded according to their military merits. This money is also paid from the accounting room of Xiangyun, and has nothing to do with the court's rewards. I don't care about other military camps. How to behave, as long as the brothers who follow me desperately, absolutely must not let them shed blood and tears."

Although the sum of money may be more than 50 taels after a rough calculation, several people around are not shocked. On the one hand, of course, it is because Pei Yue's current family background is too strong; the most.

Pei Yue raised his hand and patted Deng Zai's shoulder and said, "Go to the camp and tell the soldiers about this arrangement, and then pick a few people to cross the river north, go directly to Qinzhou to find Wang Yong, and then go back to the capital to find Qi Min, and do your best to complete this arrangement." thing."

Deng Zai was slightly hesitant. Of course he was not afraid of the hardships of the journey, but now, as the chief general of the Beiwei camp, his most important duty is to protect Pei Yue's safety, so he said cautiously: "Master, the battle is not over yet..."

Pei Yue shook his head and said with a smile: "What's next is just the final battle, I won't make another move, I have to give others a chance to show their faces."

At this moment, three imposing young generals came in, the leader was Gu Jie, commander of the Jingjiang Guard, and he said excitedly, "Pei Hou, the Nanwufeng Navy suddenly turned to go. Upstream, the river to the north has been cleared!"

Yesterday's battle was a foregone conclusion. With the defeat of the main force in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, the Wufeng Navy's control of the waterway has become meaningless, but their eagerness to rush back upstream can only show that Pei Yue's analysis last night has become a reality. Just crossing the upper reaches of the river, Bingfeng pointed directly at Hanyang.

Even Gu Jie, who has always been calm and low-key, was full of joy, and Li Jin and Tang Linfen behind were even more excited.

Pei Yue said calmly, "Bring the map."

Deng Zai ran to the study to get a topographic map of the south bank of the Tiancang River.

Pei Yue drew a dotted line on the map with his finger, and said slowly: "Wufeng Navy will go upstream, the speed will not be too fast, and I believe that Li Yuantong, the admiral of the Dingzhou Navy, will not miss this god-given opportunity and follow behind to seek The result is not always a difficult task. I asked Qian Bingbei to upload a letter before, and specifically told Li Yuantong that there is no need to hope to destroy the Wufeng navy in one battle, just use this opportunity to hurt them, so that the other party will not dare to do anything on the Tiancang River in the future. presumptuous."

Everyone listened attentively and nodded frequently.

Pei Yue took Jiangling City as the starting point, drew an area towards the west, and continued: "Ningzhou in the Southern Zhou Dynasty has a vast territory. We are temporarily unable to occupy it all. Of course, there is no need for this. Hanyang City, which is a hundred miles away, has always been the Tiancang City. The extremely important ferry in the upper reaches of the river is almost as different as Jiangling. As long as we can win Hanyang, we can connect this area into a line and create a strategic location that can be attacked and retreated."

Gu Jie said in agreement: "Our navy can also take advantage of the trend to expand the area under control."

Pei Yue smiled slightly, nodded and said: "This time, each of you will lead 3000 people to the west, and cooperate with the army on the north bank to attack the city. You must hit with all your strength, and you must not give the opponent time to breathe. Remember, there is only one chance, thank you Fang." Xiao is not an idiot, and the Southern Zhou court is not all incompetent, and when they react, they will definitely turn to the defensive immediately and enrich the border defense line."

The three of them bowed at the same time and said, "I would like to obey Lord Hou's order."

Pei Yue waved his hand and said: "Go ahead, I will prepare a celebration banquet for you in Jiangling, and then everyone will drink the celebration wine together."

Gu Jie, Li Jin and Tang Linfen saluted respectfully, then turned and strode away.

Deng Zai also bowed and resigned. He knew better than anyone else the importance of Zang Fengwei to Pei Yue, and he also understood the awe of those elites who were born in Lingzhou. He will still unswervingly carry out the suspicion of crossing the line and buying people's hearts.

Pei Yue turned his head to look at Feng Yi and Gai Ju, and said indifferently: "You take two hundred cavalrymen and three hundred civilian husbands to collect the remains of the soldiers who died in the Tibetan Front Guard and Beiwei Battalion. After cremation, put the bones in place. We're going to take them back."

The two took the lead.

In the next few days, Pei Yue stayed with Ye Qi wholeheartedly, asking about his health and care in every possible way, and of course there were also some intimacy, the details of which are not humane.

Baoding Bo Caiqian was still in charge of the city's defense. Pei Yue had no interest and no need to intervene. After all, he only had the right to make decisions on the battle situation, not the Southern Army commander appointed by Emperor Kaiping.

Even though Cai Qian didn't mind Pei Yue's guidance, he didn't want to be annoying, and the most important thing was that he just wanted to spend more time with Ye Qi.

The two wandered around Jiangling, but it was a pity that this was an authentic military city, and there were not many places of interest, so the place they visited most often was at the top of the city in the north, looking across the mighty Tiancang River, overlooking the The vast land of the north.

On October 22, the sixth year of Kaiping, four days had passed since the Battle of Jiangling.

Pei Yue took Ye Qi's hand, climbed to the top of Jiangling city again, snuggled together quietly, admiring the scenery of the river.

After an unknown amount of time, hurried footsteps came from behind, and then Gu Fan shouted excitedly: "Brother Yue, emergency military report, we have captured Hanyang City!"

Pei Yue and Ye Qi looked at each other with a smile, and suddenly let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking up, the river below the city is beating against the bank, rolling up thousands of piles of snow.
