Chapter 400

The outcome is no longer suspense, and at this time there is no force to save the defeat of the Teller people.

Li Jing quietly watched the Huaihuang cavalry that he had trained to chase and rush on the snowy field, watching groups of Tieler soldiers being chased and surrounded and killed. Watching the tiger flag flying forward, watching the cavalry as powerful as a thousand times, moving forward, and invincible.

It's amazing. The Mobei Tiel Cavalry, who has always been called a fierce man, is actually vulnerable to the Huaihuang Cavalry. Although this is an ambush battle, an ambush battle with more and less attacks, this result is indeed proud. However, Li Jing is not entirely proud of himself. He knows that although the cavalry in front of him also has his own coaching achievements, if he really wants to score the brave performance of this cavalry today, his contribution may only account for 30% of them, or even 20% of them.

He believes that there are many reasons why this cavalry can grow so quickly.

Many of the people of the Great Sui Dynasty were former horse bandits, and there were secret armed forces like the Gao family who refused to submit to the court. There were even a large number of Hu tribes. In addition, the large number of Hu warriors and members of the Huaihuang cavalry recruited in the Three Feudals were actually not much different from the nomadic cavalry on the grassland. They were not really Han cavalry, but a group of foreign and Han gangs with strong temperament on the frontier.

At the same time, their equipment is extremely excellent. Although the Huaihuang cavalry gave up the Suozi Armor, the iron armor, which was full of iron armor, was only equipped with breastplate covering the front and backs. However, this breastplate is desperate and simple as imagined. These breastplates are completely forged by steel plates, which cannot be imagined by those who do not understand it. To create such a breastplate, it goes through hundreds of processes. In particular, it involves a complete set of mine development, iron smelting, steelmaking, rolling, forging, etc., and each process is not just a simple manual process, but also involves more

Many complex craftsmanship. It can be said that it is not impossible to use Huaihuang's intensive ordnance industrial system to create such a breast plate armor by hand. But even with the same handcraft as the big craftsmanship, its cost and time are increased ten times a hundred times. However, under the ordnance craft system established by Yifeng, the production is complex and simple. Not only can only be produced by excellent masters, but many ordinary workers can also join the production, and to some extent they have completed most of the original masters' work.

What is even more amazing is that Yifeng established a large factory system, expanded the scale, studied Xu My special tools, greatly increased the output. Heavy mining, track winch transport ore out wells, crushers, powder miners, screening machines, mine washing machines and other equipment, and at the ore dressing site on the edge of the mine, the mine was processed into concentrate as soon as possible, and then transported to the iron smelting plant through the newly built flat carriage road. There is a blast furnace that can smelten tens of thousands of kilograms at one time. It is no longer traditional charcoal heating, but mining coal from the coal factory. Then, the coke coke coke is used nearby to smelter iron, and the temperature of the coke heating is higher. Coke is used to smelter iron with a blast furnace. One furnace can smelter tens of thousands of kilograms, and as long as the iron ore and coke are supplied, the iron can be smelted continuously. The refined pig iron is then transported to the steel mill, where there are powerful furnaces, wind-refining converters, and one furnace can smelter 5,000 kilograms of steel.

Just a converter, a heat storage chamber, a blower, and a gas collection and return heating device, can make the furnace temperature reach a high temperature that is extremely difficult to reach in traditional craftsmen.

This is a completely overturned steelmaking transformation, because before that, although there were many ways to make steel, they all had one characteristic, that is, it was difficult to produce a large amount of liquid steel like smelting iron. You can only make a little bit at a time, let alone a furnace of 5,000 kilograms of molten steel like Huaihuang, even 50 kilograms of water. It is this difference that has rapidly increased Huaihuang's steel output.

The molten steel in a furnace becomes one piece after another, and then some materials are added to the furnace for secondary liquefaction and smelting, which becomes the required steel. It is released, cast, and rolled.

When a piece of steel plate armor arrives at the rolling mill, it is finally rolled into the first-breast plate type required for plate armor, and then it is only half completed. It has to be sent to the forging factory, and it has to be processed and formed after thousands of hammers and forged cold forging. Finally, it has to be done more complicated heat treatment, surface treatment, etc., and then assembly, and finally completed.

Li Jing knew this because Yi Feng personally took him to visit the entire steel plate armor production process without reservation.

But although Li Jing has seen the entire process, he finally realized that he could not learn anything secretly. Yi Feng did put everything in front of him and let him see it, but he couldn't learn it. Because this is a complete system, to make a plate armor, the process before and after is too much, and there are too many processes involved. The most serious thing is that this plate armor is only suitable for large-scale production. If you make it by hand and finally make it, the cost will be increased by ten times a hundred times. Without the output and the cost is so high, what's the point? And if you want to do the same thing

Such a large system has countless core process secrets, but it is not something you can learn by looking at it on the surface. Not to mention iron ore and coal mine mining, ore dressing, blast furnaces, converters, coke furnaces, and refractory brick furnaces, etc., it makes it difficult to understand how to get it out and how to operate it. Not to mention, at least two furnace refining in a steel mill must be done through various processes for different steel requirements, material addition formulas, casting molds, steel rolling and other processes, and then there are key cold forging techniques. The more you look at it, the more complicated it becomes, the more difficult it becomes to learn.

It can even be said that if the entire steel system cannot be uprooted and moved away, others cannot imitate it. Without this system, a large amount of steel materials cannot be provided, and a large amount of system steel plate armor cannot be used. Without a scale, the cost cannot be reduced, and manufacturing plate armor cannot be practical at all.

Huaihuang's steel industry system is like the overall impression Yi Feng gave Li Jing. It seems that he always puts things in front of you concisely and clearly, but you can't learn what he does. However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this method can bring huge benefits. In the end, when you feel itchy and sad as if you were scratched, he also proposed to share the benefits with you. At this time, besides agreeing, do you have other ideas?

This is the case with Huaihuang Iron and Steel Industry. The same is true for Huaihuang’s military system.

Excellent equipment, generous treatment, and extremely high status have made the Huaihuang Army essentially different from other armies from the beginning.

He is a professional army, a specialized army, with a very high status and good treatment. In addition, Yi Feng has a very special idea of ​​building an army and training methods. He has long been destined to be a different army.

Although Yi Feng asked himself to be the coach of this cavalry, although he devoted countless efforts to this army and applied everything he learned. Today, the bravery and excellence of the Huaihuang Cavalry has his own contribution, but he did not have much. He even knew very well that his influence on this cavalry was limited. Although his words could be said in every way during training, his influence was very limited in addition to training. Even this battle, although the tactics were proposed by him, he was finally agreed. In essence, he was just a counselor and a military advisor. The real decision was Shan Xiongxin, the agent commander of the cavalry, and Zhang Jincheng, Wang Fubao and other senior cavalry officers.

On the other hand, although Shan Xiongxin and Zhang Jinsheng were the main generals of the cavalry, they also had limited control over the cavalry. Through observation, Li Jing discovered that Yi Feng had a very strong control over the Huaihuang army and was organized through layers of structures. He had strict control that could be imagined by outsiders. Sometimes Li Jing always felt it was difficult to resemble, but that was the case.

Yi Feng is like a net weaving man. He weaved a big net, and then everyone under him is in this big net. No matter what status and identity are, they are just one of them, and they are in a trap. Yi Feng firmly controls the entire situation through this net.

A messenger came running out of breath: "Teacher, you have won, all the three thousand iron wolf cubs were surrounded, died or surrendered, and the battle has ended."

Li Jing turned back from his reverie and looked up at the battlefield. Sure enough, the defeated Tielek cavalry did not run far away. They were completely surrounded. The Huaihuang cavalry dispersed them and divided them into small teams. Then they either abandoned their weapons and surrendered, or died. The Tieleks' skillful cavalry failed to save them, and pursued Guo Xiaoke's team all the way. Their men were tired, but the Huaihuang cavalry who ambushed them waited for a long time and was as powerful as a grand momentum. Especially in the wind and snow, the ground was covered with snow, and the war horses could not run fast at all, and in the end, no one could escape.

"Don't kill prisoners." Li Jing didn't have much joyful expression. This victory was expected. "This place is very close to Wusha Castle, and all these prisoners are taken back. Yi Shuai's mine is in need of manpower."

Li Jing does not need special reminder. Shan Xiongxin and Zhang Jin said that the cavalry generals had long issued orders to prohibit the killing of prisoners. Anyone who is willing to surrender will be treated preferentially. Even if they do not surrender, the prisoners cannot be abused and killed at will. Except for those who are seriously injured and are not wasted medicines and food, the rest will be treated even if they are slightly injured. Huaihuang is now seriously short of population, and even causes slave traders to gather in Huaihuang.

When gathering, people are likely to be prosperous. So many strong prisoners of Mobei Tielle warriors are quite valuable trophy. Now a living prisoner is much more valuable than a dead person. The generals in Huaihuang have learned to fight and also learn to make various meticulous calculations. Generals who know how to calculate can not only be valued by the generals, but also be supported by the brothers below. Which soldier doesn't like his superiors to win more benefits for them?

When the wind and snow on the west bank of the Unfreezing River stopped, the battlefield gradually became calm.

Almost all the Huaihuang cavalrymen were involved in this battle of the Unfreeze River. More than 10,000 cavalrymen were dispatched to ambush, and all three thousand Tiel cavalrymen were lost.

Since prisoners are more valuable than the head level, the Huaihuang cavalry tried their best to avoid killing more lives, and many Tiel cavalry escaped. Because the Tiel people were forced by the momentum of the Huaihuang cavalry from the beginning, they had already fled, and a battle ended quickly. In the end, it was only a few hundred people who died on the spot, and even more than 600 seriously injured people executed after the war. The Huaihuang cavalry harvested a lot, with more than 2,300 prisoners, most of which were intact. In addition, thousands of war horses, plus hundreds of dead horses and injured horses were harvested.

The captives were tied up one by one, their ragged iron armor and leather armor were taken away, and their war horses were taken away. They were tied up and connected together by cowhide ropes to the shore. From the beginning to the end of the battle, the fleet that only released a few rounds of arrows was released, and at this time they connected the ships to form a floating bridge again. The captives were driven across the shore.

The logistics soldiers on the east coast crossed the pontoon bridge and rushed to the battlefield. They began to be responsible for cleaning the battlefield.

Cut off the enemy's head and take it away, take away useful items, clothes, armor, money, etc. from the corpse, and finally pile up their headless corpses not far from the west bank, poured them with river water, and waited for the river water to condense into ice, and build up ice corpse mountains one by one.

The wounded soldiers of the Huaihuang Cavalry had been treated by a medical team. The doctors of the followers immediately examined and classified the wounded soldiers and evaluated the injuries. They decided which wounded soldiers should be treated first, and used medical treatment as much as possible and provided as timely and reasonable as possible.

This strategy for classification of injury detection was first proposed by Yi Feng and has a special set of methods. After several battle inspections, it has been proved that this excellent treatment plan for classification of injury detection can save 20 to 30% of the lives.

The fundamental priority level is a critical life. The wounded person who needs immediate treatment and is expected to be rescued is listed as a priority level, and a red sign will be tied on their arms. There is no immediate danger of life and the injured person who needs emergency but not immediate treatment will be tied with a yellow sign, meaning a priority level 2. In addition, the injured person who needs simple treatment will be given a priority level 3 and a green sign. If the injury is too serious, it cannot be rescued or forced to make a choice between the seriously injured and other injured persons, and finally give a black sign. It means to give up rescue. However, it is absolutely necessary, and the rescue of any injured person will not be easily given up. Unless it is absolutely necessary. At the same time, when the doctor is too late, the army has always asked the soldiers to first aid themselves, or comrades in the army to help each other for first aid, and then wait for the doctor's treatment.

In this battle, the Huaihuang cavalry suffered little casualties, and the battle ended very quickly, allowing the wounded to be treated first by themselves or by their comrades. Then the military doctors also rushed to the classified inspection and first aid of the battlefield. Then the stretcher team sent the wounded soldiers who had been rescued to different wounded soldiers' shelter positions according to their injuries for subsequent treatment and transfer.

Finally, after the entire army withdrew back to the east coast, it was found that the cavalry were killed in battle and seriously injured and could not be treated, and there were more than ten disabled people and more than a hundred minor injuries.

This number of casualties was already very light, but it still made the officers and soldiers of the Huaihuang Cavalry after victory feel deeply heavy.

"Their bodies must be restrained and sent back to Huaihuang intact, and returned to their families. After returning, they must send their tablets to the Martyrs' Temple for sacrifice." Shan Xiongxin saw the soldiers who had just washed the soldiers who had put on clean military robes on the stretcher, and said with a heavy and heavy feeling.

Zhang Jin said that he took off his helmet and saluted the warriors who had permanently closed their eyes.

"Damn it, what a great guy, it's gone. Brother Shan, let's go back and destroy all the iron-le bastards, leaving no one left."

Shan Xiongxin didn't say anything.

Li Jing stopped Zhang Jin and said, "According to the preliminary interrogation of prisoners, these three thousand Tieles are only half of the strikers of the Tieles tribes. Their original mission was to intercept sudden sharp attacks. Now more than a hundred miles away from the northwest, there are about three thousand cavalry. I know General Zhang feels uncomfortable, but I don't agree to fight the Tieles tribe again. Now most Tieles tribes may go south at any time, so we should not take risks. If we end up being bitten by Tieles tribes in order to eat the three thousand Tieles tribes, it will be no good."

"What are you afraid of? We are not afraid of how many Tielite cubs come. Besides, you can't beat them or escape?"

Li Jing shook his head and disagrees with Zhang Jin's idea. However, he is just a coach, a guest general, not a member of the Huaihuang cavalry system, so he had to say tactfully: "Although our cavalry is good, the number is limited after all, and it is best not to leave Huaihuang to fight for a hundred miles. Otherwise, once you are surrounded outside in the snow and ice, the losses will be very heavy. Besides, what is the mission of the cavalry? Now Yi Shuai is not in Huaihuang. I think the most important task of the Huaihuang cavalry is to guard Huaihuang, not to kill many enemies. No matter how many enemies you kill, if Huaihuang is lost, will we stay in Yi Shuai?"

"What Teacher Li said makes sense. Now is not the time to fight. Let's go back to Wusha Castle first. Yi Shuai said before leaving that he would never give up any city fortress in Huaihuang easily." Shan Xiongxin made up his mind. He agreed with Li Jing's words. The battle was not random, but had to be carried out around the strategic plan. Now their goal should be to protect Huaihuang, rather than killing Tiel's people.

In fact, Li Jing felt that Shan Xiongxin and his ideas of not losing one city and one castle were wrong, and that would be very passive in strategy. He felt that instead of defending passively and sticking to every castle, it would be better to retreat in a planned manner, withdraw the people in the front castle to the back big city, and finally retreat directly to the Great Wall. Then it is best to clear the walls and clear the fields of Huaihuang in the north of Huaihuang and even the entire Great Wall. Huaihuang army can give up most of the small castles, concentrate their troops in several nearby castles with extremely dangerous positions, and then put the cavalry nearby to mobility, support operations, and fight with the opponent actively defensive operations. But the same thing, not giving up Huaihuang is what Yi Feng once said, and the Huaihuang army will firmly abide by it. At the same time, he is just a guest general. In this strategic plan, he actually has little say, but he has a little right to refer to and suggest.

"I hope the Tielle people will not fight to Huaihuang in large numbers, otherwise, if the Tielle army attacked by tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, the Wusha Castle, which was the first to be hit, would be difficult to stop." Li Jing frowned slightly, and secretly looked forward to it in his heart. (To be continued...)
