Emperor Sui Yang

Li Jing's [-] cavalry are just wandering around, and his side has a relatively large responsibility, so don't look at them right now because they have nothing to do.

Xin Shixiong and Mai Tiezhang were in charge of beating up the two strong cities of Beishe and Wugu, while Li Jing was in charge of wiping their buttocks in the early stage.

How many people were leaked by the two of them had to be dealt with by the 6000 people like Li Jing, and Gao Jianwu and Zhong Shiwei had to be on guard.

He also had to calculate the time for Yu Wenshu to go south, and then make further temporary arrangements. When he received the military report from Mai Tiezhang, he chose to encircle rather than fight without hesitation.

Because Yu Wenshu's main force had already moved from Liaodong City, Mai Tiezhang didn't have enough time to take down Black Bone City.

He and Wei Xuanbu, the two bodyguards next to the leader (Yu Wenshu), were responsible for opening the way, and Li Jing was worried that the leader would not go well, so he had to go ahead to explore the way.

"Tell Manager Mai, don't think about fighting black bones, build a line of defense quickly, seize the pier and build a pontoon bridge."

On the Love River outside the Black Bone City, there is a large wharf. This wharf and the domestic city wharf on the upper reaches of the Yalu River are the two largest water transportation hubs in Goguryeo.

The River of Love goes all the way south and merges into the Yalu River. The Yalu River right now is called the Yalu River. It runs from east to west and lies on the only way for the Sui army to go to Pyongyang. It is 795 kilometers long and you can't get around it.

Fortunately, the river course is not as wide as the Liaohe River, which is about 600 meters. It will be very convenient to build a pontoon bridge. Seizing the pier is also to snatch ships and facilitate crossing the river.

The Yalu River has a four-month freezing period every year, that is, from December to April. This is the Gregorian calendar. According to the Great Sui calendar, it is about November to March.

You can cross the river on foot during the freezing period, but there is no way, the Sui Dynasty does not have the conditions to send troops in the twelfth lunar month.

Right now the river has melted, but you can't see a single boat, they are all docked at the pier, and here is heavily guarded.

The person in charge of beating the pier was Zhu Longsheng, a fierce general under Shi Wanbao's command. He was more than 20 miles away from the pier, and he had already encountered an armored cavalry of thousands of people.

And he only has 4000 people in his hands.

Go ahead, running is not acceptable, armored cavalry is for charging, you will be screwed if you run.

"All the brigades line up and beat the drums!"

On the plain, Zhu Longsheng issued a military order to urgently set up a large circular formation, surrounded by rowers and spearmen, circle after circle, inside with bow and arrow teams and baggage, this formation is to guard against heavy cavalry.

The heavy cavalry breaks through the formation, like an awl, it penetrates a little bit, and once it breaks through, it will wander and strangle, which is very lethal to infantry.

Zhu Longsheng's formation is relatively simple, because the time is short, the heavy cavalry in front has already started to accelerate in their direction, piercing straight like a sharp knife.

When the cavalry charged into the formation, the formation would shrink into a sharp triangle, just to avoid the damage of the arrows, and also to define the impact point to avoid dispersion.

The sound of rumbling iron hooves got closer, and Zhu Longsheng couldn't help swallowing.

"Fire arrows!"

With a general order, the longbows were fired at the head of the enemy army. To deal with the charge, even if they took the lead, if the cavalry on the head were disrupted, the opponent's formation would also be disordered.

Because there are horses, once the horse falls, it will affect a large area behind. Therefore, there has always been a rule in the army that shooting the dead horse can not be counted as one head, but three heads.

How do you record credit?Looking at the arrows, everyone's name will be engraved on the arrows, so that they can be rewarded for their merits in the future.

You will definitely not engrave other people's names, just as the class votes for the monitor, as a candidate, you will definitely not vote for other candidates.

After a few rounds of shooting, the enemy's front troops were already on their backs, and they were also very confused. They only heard that the Sui army had magical weapons, but how could they expect to be so powerful in piercing armor?

As long as it is shot, it will be broken, whether it is a human armor or a vest.

This is impossible to fight.

So the heavy cavalry hurriedly divided their troops, and then divided into three groups from the rear, and charged towards the Sui army's circular formation in three different directions.

Because they also saw that the Sui Army didn't have many archers.

Yes, not many, just five hundred longbowmen, that means you are far away, and if you get closer, there are still crossbow arrows.

The elite army that entered the hinterland of Goguryeo in the Sui Dynasty this time, even the platoon players were equipped with short crossbows, and the longbowmen also had short crossbows hanging on their waists.

Of course, less than half of them were free to shoot, but this half was enough for the opponent to drink a pot.

When Goguryeo's armored cavalry entered the range, with the sound of dense machine guns, the overwhelming rain of arrows shot out.

A leading cavalryman was hit by an arrow in the head of the horse, and the whole horse turned upside down, rolled several times, and smashed hard on the shield of the Sui army's platoon, killing two soldiers in an instant.

The violent crashing sound was unbearably ear-piercing, one after another of the war horses crashed into the formation of the Sui army, and the bright red blood seemed to be splashed.

The two armies immediately entered a fierce battle.

The sharp spear pierced the armor of the horse, and the ferocious hooves trampled on the body of the guard. The sounds of bone cracking, armor breaking, and screams overlapped.

The two-hour fierce battle ended with Goguryeo's disastrous retreat.

The plain was in a mess, with corpses everywhere.

Zhu Longsheng was very excited. If he encountered a heavy cavalry in the countryside like this before, his life would be half lost, but since he got refined weapons, his combat effectiveness has improved several levels.

His losses this time were not light, more than 400 people were killed and six to seven hundred were injured, but the expressions on everyone's faces were the same as his, very excited.

Because the result was beyond their expectations, although they had adapted to the power of refined weapons when they were in the camp, they did not fight heavy cavalry with real knives and guns like they are now.

Although many people died, those who survived have already accumulated military merits and their morale has soared.

When marching and fighting, morale is very important. This determines who will be defeated first, you or the enemy. If the morale is strong, even if the battle damage is serious, it will still be able to resist.

Every army that goes out to fight will have a Congjun Kaogonglang, which is dedicated to crediting the officers and soldiers, but it must be marked with the word "Jongjun", which is temporary, because the real Kaogonglang is in the Ministry of Officials.

Cleaning up the battlefield is for the sake of credit, and those who survive will count their credit in their hearts.

In the Sui Dynasty, according to military merits, there were generous rewards, which were roughly divided into official positions, wealth, women and slaves.

Among them, official positions, including lords, first of all, titles, this thing has particularly high requirements for military exploits, and even higher requirements for background, basically has nothing to do with ordinary soldiers.

Honors have weaker requirements for military exploits and origin than titles.

Then the eighth lieutenant is really suitable for ordinary soldiers.

In the third year of Daye, after the reformation, the eight captains were the sixth rank of Jianjie Wei Zheng, the sixth rank of Fenwu Wei Cong, the seventh rank of Xuanhui Wei Zheng, the seventh rank of Suide Wei, the eighth rank of Huairen Wei Zheng, the eighth rank of Shouyi Wei Cong, Flattery Weizheng Jiupin, Lixin Wei Cong Jiupin.

The ninth-class lord plus the eighth lieutenant, this is the seventeenth rank of a casual official. A casual official is also called a rank official. There is no real job. Those who have a position are called service officers. If you want to change from a casual official to a service officer, the main thing is to assess Two aspects: door capital and life.

Family qualifications depend on your family qualifications, birth depends on who your parents are, and the relationship between concubine and concubine.

That is to say, it is impossible for a soldier of civilian origin to become a clerk at the legal level, but it is not impossible for a soldier of civilian origin to become a small official of the eighth or ninth rank, and there are even higher ones.

Then it depends on the backstage. If your backer is Yang Guang, you can be a wheat iron stick.

So how can ordinary soldiers get close to a big tree?The main thing is one aspect, that is, being able to fight.

The higher your combat exploits, the higher generals will take a fancy to you, train them under their command, and make you a confidant.

So what about military exploits?There are mainly two aspects, collective honor and individual honor.

First of all, the collective honor, based on the number of soldiers on both sides and the pros and cons of equipment, is divided into front, middle and bottom.

Take less hits and more as the front line, balance between the two sides is the middle line, and more hits and less is the bottom line.

If more than [-]% of the captured enemy troops are killed, it is considered a top reward, if more than [-]% is killed, it is considered a moderate reward, and if one becomes a lower reward.

Formation and acquisition are to be combined, according to "turn" to discuss merit.

If you win in the upper battle, you get five turns, if you win in the middle, you get four turns, if you win in the middle, you get three turns, if you win in the middle, you get two turns, if you win in the middle, you get one turn, if you win in the middle, you don’t get any turns.

Why didn't it turn?You are evenly matched with the enemy army, and you only killed [-]% of the enemy soldiers, and you still want credit?
After the Great Sui restructured the ranks, the original Shangzhu Kingdom, Zhu Kingdom, and Yitong Sansi were all gone, but before the conquest of Goguryeo this time, in order to make up for the twelfth turn, Yang Guang added Shangzhu to the Eighth Commander. The four honors of Guo, Zhu Guo, Shang Hu Jun and Hu Jun are specially used to enshrine soldiers who have made military exploits.

It is equivalent to giving hope to the soldiers, which means that as long as you fight well, the second-rank Shangzhu Kingdom is waiting for you.

Zhu Longsheng had [-] infantry and fought against Goguryeo's nearly [-] heavy cavalry. This is because the strength and types of troops are not superior. Although the ordnance is superior, the refined ordnance has not been announced to the public, so it is not counted as an advantage.

After clearing the battlefield, killing [-] enemies and taking [-] prisoners, this is a reward.

Then according to the rewards obtained in the battle, it is four ranks, that is to say, Zhu Longsheng, this kid, can now be a lieutenant Huairen of the eighth rank, and he himself is the Hussar General of the Hussar Mansion. He has a real position, but he must be rare Huairen Wei.

Because of Wu Xun, he can atone for his sins. If this kid commits any crimes in the future, this honor can give him a boost.

It is equivalent to having one more life. If you become the Shangzhu Kingdom, you can have several more lives.

Collective honor belongs to the general, while individual honor depends on the number of soldiers killed, which has to be accumulated.

Four turns for a hundred people, three turns for 70 people, two turns for 50 people, one turn for 20 people, and one turn for ten people, this is what it should be.

Because Yang Guang declared to the outside world that one of the Sui guards was worth ten, so killing ten is your normal level.

But you can save this thing, kill ten this time, and kill ten more next time, isn't that a turnaround?You can mix up with Li Xinwei, who is from the ninth rank, in just one turn. This can cover your crime of robbery and theft.

But this time, there were two guards in Zhu Longsheng's army. It was enough. Why, because they shot and killed the leading horse, and the enemy's leading horse, one tops three.

If you shoot seven winners in one go, that's enough right away.

Seeing that the enemy's heavy cavalry troops were defeated so smoothly, Zhu Longsheng floated away, and ordered to kill all the captives, cut off their heads and build a Jingguan, and returned the wounded soldiers to the north. He continued to take the rest to the Love River Wharf up.

He wanted greater credit. (end of this chapter)
