Yuwen Chengdu once again bowed to express his gratitude, and then Wang Jing named him a cavalry guerrilla general in the bodyguard army, and organized the 5,000 Yuwen cavalry under his command into a 3,000-man battalion.
The treatment of Yuwen Chengdu was the same as that of Zhang Lin and Zhang Guiba. It was not because he was a seventh-level general that Wang Jing looked at him differently.
Of course, with Yuwen Chengdu's strength, there are many opportunities for him to make contributions. When the time comes, he will naturally be promoted quickly and become an important general under the Huai Army.
Soon, Yuwen Chengdu retreated and joined the released Yuwen clan members.
Wang Jing, on the other hand, set his sights on Fu Youde.
"It's so gratifying that Youde has broken through to the seventh level! With your help in the army from now on, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"
Wang Jing smiled and said.
Among the various princes and forces in the world of China, among all the princes above the first-class level, which one does not have a seventh-level military general in command?
Among dynasty forces with extremely profound foundations such as Qin and Han, there are more than one seventh level.
While Wang Jing dominates Jianghuai, he does not have a seventh-level man under his command. It must be said that this is a bit of a hindrance.
it's good now.
In future battles, Fu Youde, a seventh-level military general, can become the chief general and lead the army on foreign expeditions without having to worry about the enemy's tactics of beheading generals and seizing flags.
Fu Youde did not dare to be too arrogant and quickly laughed and said: "I don't dare, the general is just a lucky breakthrough. As long as the king has an order, the general will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Wang Jing laughed, and after joking with him for a while, he said: "Not long ago, I told you that those ninth-level experts may come soon. Now you have broken through the seventh level, which is good, but your strength is not enough." powerful!"
"I will give you three hundred elixirs and one hundred fairy fruit elixirs... These elixirs contain a large amount of life essence, which can speed up your process of condensing the Dharma!"
When military commanders condense the Dharma, they do not use ethereal spiritual thoughts to imagine it out of thin air.
Instead, it consumes qi, blood and essence, blends a trace of spiritual power and fighting spirit to fill the Dharma form, and uses the power of the Dharma form to cleanse the whole body and stimulate the supreme potential of the physical body.
When practicing, a lot of resources need to be consumed.
Wang Jing was not stingy at this time. After discovering Fu Youde's breakthrough, he waved his hand and granted a large amount of resources.
Fu Youde quickly bowed and gave thanks.
Wang Jing waved his hand and said: "Right now, apart from Gu, you are the first seventh-level general in our army. The stronger you are, the easier it will be for Gu in the future."
"I hope that when those powerful men come, you can condense the Dharma and complete it, and step into the eighth level!"
"The general will definitely live up to the king's expectations!"
Fu Youde said in a deep voice.
Wang Dingding nodded. Fu Youde has now broken through the seventh level. Yang Kan should have almost reached this level. These two seventh levels plus Yuwen Chengdu are three seventh level generals.
In a short period of time, three seventh-level generals were enough to sweep all directions.
There are also people like Tang Shengzong, Wang Bi, and Lu Zhongheng. They all have the potential of the seventh level and above. As long as they don't die in the middle, they will definitely be able to step into the seventh level.
These are the future strengths of the Huai Army.
After Wang Jing returned to the city and took up command, Fu Youde, Tang Shengzong, and military officials began to count the casualties, prisoners, and supplies. Dealing with those soldiers who surrendered before the battle...
Wang Jing did not break his promise to those dozen generals who had contacted in advance and disrupted the enemy's formation during the fighting. He incorporated them into the Huai Army according to the conditions he had promised before.
Then they were given half a month's leave to return to Yangzhou to reunite with their families.
Wang Jing doesn't need to care about other things.
After establishing three provincial centers and six ministries and departments, some systems were formed. Wang Jing only needed to see the results. A large number of officials were executing his will and controlling military affairs.
About a few hours later.
Fu Youde brought Tang Shengzong and others to visit again.
"Kings!"
When Wang Jing saw them coming in, he waved his hand and told them to sit down, and everyone took their seats one by one.
"What are the casualties of our troops?"
Fu Youde said: "Our army's morale was at its peak in this battle, and we defeated the enemy very quickly. There was no collapse of our battalions, and the casualties were relatively small. At the end of the day, the general counted the number of soldiers, and all the soldiers remained intact!"
"Roughly calculated, there are about 3,200 casualties, of which 2,800 were killed in battle. The rest were slightly injured and seriously injured, and most of them can recover! Among the soldiers who died in battle, there were three people from a hundred families and one person from a thousand families. …”
Wang Jing listened carefully.
In a battle involving hundreds of thousands of people, the Huai army suffered only more than 3,000 casualties. It was an unprecedented victory, but even so, Wang Jing paid great attention to his own casualties.
Every soldier of the Huai Army is the foundation of the force.
Although these soldiers were not as unruly as those in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, who would kill their superiors and establish new military envoys when they did not get what they wanted, Wang Jing also had to always pay attention to the morale of the army.
"Where are the enemy casualties?"
Wang Jing asked.
Our own side has its own rules for compensation for casualties. After hearing the situation of casualties, Wang Jing put it aside.
"The battlefield of this battle covers dozens of miles. Dead bodies are everywhere. There are also a large number of weapons, war horses, and stomachs scattered outside. The general has sent people to clean the battlefield, but with hundreds of thousands of troops and countless corpses, it will not be possible to count them all for several hours. "
"The general can only make a rough estimate at this time. Before this battle, the enemy's 450,000 troops and horses were lost to more than 700,000 to 80,000. During the decisive battle, only 380,000 troops and horses were left..."
"A preliminary count shows that our army beheaded about 16,000 people in this battle, and more than 20,000 people surrendered before the battle. Except for Zhang Shicheng's troops who broke through and more than 10,000 people who were scattered and missing, the remaining more than 300,000 people were prisoners! "
Fu Youde smiled unconsciously as he spoke.
The capture of 300,000 enemy troops in World War I was unprecedented since the rise of the Huai Army.
Even when Wang Jing personally led troops south to attack Wuhe Qin, he did not capture so many enemy soldiers.
In the history of the origin world, this result is comparable to the Battle of Changping where Bai Qi captured more than 300,000 surrendered soldiers of Zhao State.
certainly.
Wang Jing has enough food and grass and will never do anything like killing prisoners.
More than 300,000 prisoners were once enemy soldiers, but after they were captured, they became Wang Jing's people.
Most of these people were the elite of the Sui army, and their family records were all near Yangzhou.
With a little reorganization, they can become members of the Huai Army and can be used with confidence.
Other prisoners can also be organized into engineers to build roads in Baoying, Gaoyou, Jinhu, Yangzhou, Xinghua, and soon to be acquired Taizhou, Taixing and other places.
Connect the entire Huaidong with roads to form a governance network covering the entire territory.
"...In addition to the soldiers, there are about 6,000 war horses. There are too many other armors and weapons to be counted at the moment!"
Wait until Fu Youde finishes speaking.
Wang Jing then praised: "Well done, this battle is a complete victory. You are the first to do it. When you return to Yangzhou to discuss your merits and reward me, you will definitely be rewarded! There are other generals and schools who will also be rewarded heavily!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Generals such as Fu Youde and Tang Shengzong looked happy and stood up to thank him immediately.
