Chapter 497 Anxiety

General Huangfu, who was full of confidence, did not feel any anxiety at all, or in other words, he was very confident that he would hold on to Qianzhou.

What is a sneak attack? These despicable and shameless guys from Lingnan are capable of fighting head-on with real swords and guns, and yet they rely on us to have no cavalry and do whatever they want.

Now we are holding on to the city wall. The three thousand Divine Guards have always been elite troops. When the time comes, I will give you a taste of what it means to be an iron wall.

Not to mention anything else, the generals and commanders who were traveling with him in Qianzhou City had no choice but to bite the bullet and choose to believe it, while the officials in Qianzhou were heartbroken.

"General, how many days can we hold the position?" Qianzhou Governor sighed and asked helplessly as he was pushed out.

"How many days? Huh, it's not enough to make a plan." Huangfu Jixun put his hands on his hips and said calmly: "You guys underestimate me and look down on the puppet country too much. At least one month, and this month, I will

We must build Qianzhou into a copper-coin-iron wall, impregnable, and let the puppet country truly see how powerful our Tang Dynasty is."

"Bah -" Huangfu Jixun supported the city wall, spat, and said loudly: "I can only play some conspiracies and tricks, but they are not very powerful. When the time comes, I will let you see what it means to truly defend the city."

"Everyone, the real test of a general is not fighting, but defending the city. Please believe that I will definitely make the puppet country's head break and bleed."

It seemed that he was speaking to the puppet troops showing off their power outside the city, and he seemed to be speaking to himself to cheer him up. Anyway, his words finally made Qianzhou City feel a little more stable.

Outside the city, Huang Yang naturally didn't know the situation at the top of the wall.

Tens of thousands of prisoners, as well as corpses everywhere, as well as thousands of his own troops, all need to be resettled. The original camp also needs to be re-fortified, and everything needs to be arranged.

Of course, the supply camp has always been professional. In just two hours, a simple camp was built on the basis of the original destruction. The Lingnan Guards who were on the attack could finally rest for a while.

The camp was very quiet at night. Apart from the footsteps of patrolling soldiers and the gendarmerie, there was only the sound of burning torches. After a simple dinner, the brothers of Lingdong Guard went to bed and started to attack.

One day, I was really tired.

However, as the commander of the Lingdong Guard, Huang Yang did not rest. He sat in his tent, thinking about what to do next.

Lingdong Guards totaled ten thousand people, of which more than four thousand stayed in Tingzhou and Zhangzhou to supervise the surrendering troops. He brought only five thousand people, including hundreds of precious cavalry, which were from Lingnan.

As a housekeeper, there are only two thousand knights in the Forbidden Army, and there are even more horseless knights.

It is precisely because of the treasure of the cavalry that he has retained it to this day, and he feels heartbroken after losing several horses.

This battle was really beautiful.

"Commander the Army, our supply camp just took out all the seizures." At this time, a fat man walked over slowly, with a look of uncontrollable joy on his face.

"Oh? Tell me quickly." Huang Yang asked impatiently. He had already estimated in his heart that the harvest would be quite big, but it was nothing compared to the real and reliable calculation of the transport camp.

It can be said that this battle can almost book a viscount title with him. However, the value of the viscount title is still open to question. The number of villas represents status. It has been almost three years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and the viscount title is still more or less the same.

There are several of them.

"Thirteen thousand and twenty-five prisoners, 3,612 heads, more than two thousand stones of food, two hundred altars of wine, more than one hundred thousand arrows, three thousand bows, and crossbow arrows

Five hundred pairs..."

The seizure this time was extremely large. This was a military camp of 20,000 people, which was extremely impressive. But for Huangyang Second Academy, what he cared about most was the number of prisoners and the number of heads.

According to the reward system in the army, if a team of less than 500 people faces an enemy with fewer troops than one's own, one-third of their heads must be captured to be counted as meritorious deeds; if the number is higher than one's own, only one-third

A quarter is enough.

If there are more than five hundred people, and we are outnumbered and the enemy is numerous, then it is enough to kill a quarter of the place, and there is no punishment for escaping; if there are twice as many enemies, there is no penalty for escaping, and there is no standard, one head

, worth one and a half of the ordinary ones.

For a general, the meritorious service he has gained is calculated according to the rank of the general, which is the part of calculating the title and official position.

The reward is calculated based on the average number of people, multiplied by their personal guards.

For example, Huang Yang, as the commander of an army of 10,000 people, had 500 nominal bodyguards. If each person had one head, his reward would be based on 500 people.

But this time, with 5,000 people fighting against 20,000 people, it was not double, but four times. Of course, one head may only be worth one and a half. Capturing 13,000 people and beheading 3,600 people was enough.

Twenty-five thousand, an average of nearly five heads per person, Huang Yang alone is equivalent to harvesting 2,500 heads.

If the reward is 2,500 acres of land and 1,225 copper coins, this is a huge amount. An ordinary lower-class county may not even pay that much tax in a year.

For a person like Huang Yang who has no lifeblood, money is of little significance, but what deserves attention is the title, which depends on the wishes of the prime minister of the political hall and the emperor, and depends on your loyalty and qualifications.

Of course, it was mainly the emperor's wish, and the ministers were just suggestions.

Huang Yang now went down to Zhangzhou and then to Datinzhou, captured and killed more than 10,000 people, and his heart became more and more hot.

Moreover, he is someone who knows the imperial strategy. If the battle to destroy Jiangnan continues and his performance is still outstanding, then the earl will definitely win.

"What a heart-warming victory, hahahaha!!!" Huang Yang happily slapped the table and said, "You go down first and get some meat to eat tomorrow to reward the brothers."

However, the people in the baggage camp stopped.

"Why, is there anything else?" Huang Yang asked doubtfully.

"Commander the Army, we don't have much food for this raid, let alone meat."

"It's okay. I'll ask Lingdong Mansion and Chengtian Mansion to send some wine and meat while I'm repairing my book." Huang Yang waved his hand and said with a smile.

After he left, Huang Yang raised his chin and began to think.

He is now in his forties and has made many military exploits. Wouldn't it be a pity if he had the title of earl but no descendants to pass on to him?

There are several nephews, and it is possible to adopt one of them into his own name to support him in his old age and inherit the title, but he does not know whether the emperor will allow it.

After all, it is not uncommon for eunuchs to have a title, but it is difficult to pass it on and get recognition...

When he went to sleep, he was still anxious. If the title could not be passed on, what would be the point?
