Chapter 12 Post-war Summary

Twenty-three soldiers were killed in this battle. Originally, everyone's opinion was to bury them on the spot, but Yunfeng firmly disagreed. Instead, he ordered people to set up firewood, pour kerosene on it, and place the bodies on it. Then he turned around

He said impassionedly to the puzzled soldiers: "The bones of our fallen comrades must not be left outside. It is precisely because of their selfless sacrifices that we have today's victory. Therefore, we must not forget them. They

His ashes will go to Liangzhou with us. When the time is right, our army will build a memorial hall for fallen soldiers. All those who died in the war, regardless of their rank or rank, will be buried there as long as their families do not object. Their names

, births and deaths, number of enemies killed, military achievements gained and so on will also be recorded moment by moment for future generations to admire and respect!" At this point, Yunfeng stopped, and his voice suddenly became serious and said: "This is custom-made, every day from now on.

All battles must be like this. Unless our entire army is wiped out, no one will be left alive."

For a moment, the soldiers all showed gratitude in their eyes, and some even looked at Yunfeng with tears in their eyes and trembling lips. On the battlefield, it is most common to die in a foreign land. For the bones of those who died on the battlefield, it is most common.

The treatment is basically to dig a big hole and bury it hastily, and then make a simple memorial. Soldiers who fight are not afraid of death. What they fear is that the death will not be worth it. After death, they will be buried in the dust.

Everyone knows. What Yunfeng is doing now will undoubtedly enable them to leave their name in history after they die in battle. How can they not be moved?

"Lord~!" Yang Ming was shaken all over, and he knelt down and said excitedly: "My lord is so kind and merciful to the soldiers, none of us dare not die in service!"

"We are also willing to die in the service of your lord!" All the soldiers knelt down and said in unison. Although there were only a few hundred people, the aura generated was extremely powerful. Yunfeng was also deeply moved, and he hurriedly said:

"Everyone, your life does not belong to me, it only belongs to you. The reason why you, me, and all the comrades present can fight side by side is because there is a common goal supporting us!" Then, he glanced at the whole audience.

Then he shouted loudly: "Restore the rivers and mountains, save the people! Defeat the gentry and establish Datong!"

"Restore the mountains and rivers, save the people! Defeat the gentry and establish Datong!"

"Restore the mountains and rivers, save the people! Defeat the gentry and establish Datong!"

........

The soldiers shouted loudly over and over again, with excitement and excitement, and the atmosphere in the venue was extremely heated.

After a long time, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down, and Yun Feng continued: "Now, please follow me and observe thirty breaths of silence to see off the fallen soldiers!" After saying that, he turned around and knelt down.

, lowered his head solemnly, and covered his heart with one hand. The sergeants behind him also followed Yunfeng's example and mourned their fallen comrades in silence. Even a group of women knelt down to see off the fallen soldiers.

Counting his breaths secretly, Yunfeng stood up, took the torch, and lit the pile of firewood one by one.

After the whole ceremony was completed and the ashes were collected, the whole army left the Puyan tribe overnight. Since they were bringing so many women and driving sheep, the march was not very fast. Yunfeng had no choice but to send out scouts and cavalry in case there was any intention.

Happens everywhere.

They stayed awake like this until the evening of the next day, after finding a place with a water source, they set up camp. Taking advantage of the break in cooking, Yunfeng summoned all the generals.

"I wonder why the Lord summoned us?" Yang Ming asked.

"Come, all gentlemen, please sit down!" Yun Feng pointed to the ground and said, "I invite all gentlemen to come here to review the gains and losses of this battle."

After everyone sat down, Yun Feng asked: "Please tell me your views."

In previous battles, the relevant generals were held accountable for defeat. Naturally, rewards were given based on merit for victory, and that was the end of it. This was the first time we had discussed it after the war. For a while, I didn’t know where to start.

Yunfeng saw that everyone was looking embarrassed, except Zeng Daniu, who looked eager to try, so he said, "Daniu, let's start with you."

"It's so happy~!" Zeng Daniu exclaimed impatiently: "It's so damn happy! Master, I, Daniu, haven't won a battle in a long time, and I'm feeling birdy. This trip is all thanks to my master, I

That's why Daniel made such a fussy comment. In short, my lord asked me to go east, but Daniel will never go west!"

After saying so much, he actually said nothing, but Yunfeng didn't expect him to put forward some opinions and let him take the lead in speaking. He just played a role in attracting others. A fool has the advantage of a fool, that is, he is obedient and loyal.

We cannot require that all generals must be brave and resourceful. As long as they have a little of both, they can be used. Zeng Daniu was brave but not resourceful.

In fact, Yunfeng wanted to hear the opinions of others besides Zeng Daniu. Needless to say, Yang Ming was the second-largest figure in the army. Except for the third, the weakest point among the four Han brothers, if they were trained properly, all the others would be able to stand alone in the future.

, this post-war discussion is the best training method. Summarize the gains and losses, analyze the shortcomings, and avoid making similar mistakes in the next battle.

Yunfeng also attaches great importance to Li Gang and Wang Gui. These two people are equivalent to the leaders of his personal guards. Naturally, he hopes that they can learn some lessons.

Yang Ming pondered for a moment and said sincerely: "This battle is all thanks to the lord's presence in the battle formation and proper arrangement. Our army was able to defeat the strong with the weak and achieve a great victory. My lord is indispensable!"

Yunfeng sighed secretly and looked at the Han brothers again. The Han brothers spoke one by one, but they were similar to what Yang Ming said. They just blew Yunfeng into the sky.

Disappointed, he continued to look at Li Gang and Wang Gui and said, "You two also followed me to personally lure the enemy. Please tell me your views."

The two of them were more discerning, and they faintly heard a hint of dissatisfaction in Yun Feng's tone, so they began to guess Yun Feng's intentions. The two thought about it for a while, looked at each other, and Wang Gui spoke.

"It is truly a blessing for the two of us to be able to fight with the lord in person. Looking at the entire process of luring the enemy, there seems to be no major flaw. It was just that there was a brief panic at the moment when the enemy's cavalry attacked. If the lord hadn't shouted at the opportunity,

, I’m afraid the consequences will be disastrous.”

Yunfeng nodded and said: "You can think of these things carefully, but have you ever thought about how to deal with them again? You won't have to personally accompany me in every battle in the future?"

Li Gang quickly replied: "Since the fall of Chang'an, our army has not fought in the field for a long time. In addition, the master's teaching of cavalry has not been practiced for a long time, so I was a little panicked for a while. I didn't think that.

If you train more in the future, you will probably get better."

Yunfeng looked at him and said: "Li Gang, apart from skills, the most important thing for a person is his will. As a soldier, you must be able to survive the collapse of Mount Tai without changing your color to be considered qualified. Soldiers must be

Iron-blooded people have no regard for life and death, and are not afraid of the enemy's strength. Do you understand? You guys have time to discuss how to train the soldiers' will."

Then he said: "Can the soldiers shoot arrows faster? If it can be faster, they can be fired in two columns in sequence. This can reduce the shooting gap and prevent the enemy from breathing. The archers who died in our army are the enemy's soldiers."

He caught the shot in the neutral position and counterattacked and was hit by an arrow and died. I hope you can pay more attention to improving the firing speed of the sergeants in future training. In addition, I hope that every battle in the future can summarize the gains and losses and learn lessons. And not only the generals,

Soldiers must also participate extensively. One person is weak in wisdom, but many people are wise in strength. Organize the soldiers to discuss the pros and cons in units of ten, and if they can come up with unique insights, they can be improved as appropriate."

As the words fell, everyone showed thoughtful expressions. Yunfeng did not rush them and gave them enough time to digest.

(Note: The above chapters are boring, but they have to be written. Yunfeng’s philosophy of running the army must be explained clearly. Starting from the next chapter, we will enter Liangzhou, introduce foreign wars, political struggles, conspiracy, and win over the divided city.
Chapter completed!
