Chapter 98 The key to victory
After returning to the city, I saw everyone, and I had some cheers and congratulations, but I don’t need to explain in detail.
It was said that after dawn, Tang Han sent three thousand civilian troops out of the city to move all the bodies of the Beidi people to the woods in the east to bury them, and cleaned up the battlefield.
When those civilians saw such a tragic battlefield, they all died on the battlefield, and even admired Tang Han's great victory last night. Everyone was steadily walking and energetic when they worked.
As for the war horses that were burned to death in the fire, the civilian army also carried them back.
Tang Han ordered the cooking of horse meat to reward everyone, which caused everyone to cheer.
After returning to the city, Tang Han asked Li Qingzhu and the others to rest, but he asked someone to find Gao Zhandao and Ji Gang to discuss how to deal with the upcoming reinforcements of the Beidi people.
He didn't sleep all night, but he didn't feel tired at all.
On the contrary, although Ji Gang and Gao Zhandao did not follow Tang Han out of the city, they were worried that all night, when the two of them looked tired when they saw Tang Han, they looked very excited.
"Your Majesty killed all the soldiers and barbarians in Beidi last night. The morale of our soldiers and civilians in the city is greatly boosted, and we are no longer afraid of these barbarians. Even if their reinforcements arrive today, we can fight them again and flee." Ji Gang said confidently.
Gao Zhandao also nodded and said, "The Northern Di barbarians are not good at attacking cities, but they insist on using their shortcomings to attack my strengths. This is a big taboo for military strategists. If they dare to come again, there will be no other result except for giving away heads."
Tang Han looked at the two and said, "Speaking of all, we have no hatred with the Beidi people. But now that we have occupied this Beidi county and the Beidi people are going to attack again, that is our enemy. Although we won a great victory in this battle last night, it is not enough to make the Beidi people fear us. Only by defeating their reinforcements again this time can they truly arouse their awe for us and not dare to invade again for a considerable period of time in the future."
Ji Gang said: "Your wise. These barbarians have always been afraid of the strong. As long as they beat them up, they will be afraid of us and act according to our wishes. If we want peace in the future, we will not only defeat them this time, but also have a head-on victory."
What happened to the victory last night is not understood by ordinary people, but Ji Gang and the others know it. For the people of Beidi, such victory is not enough to truly convince them.
Only when they face the victory head-on on the battlefield will they be in awe of convincing.
Tang Han said: "That's right. I'm already planning this matter. In the past few days, you two will do their best to defend the city. No matter how many people the Beidi people come, no matter how they call, don't leave the city. Give me three days, and I will let the Beidi people know that our Han army can not only leave them helpless in the battle to defend the city, but also compete with them in the field."
To compete with the Beidi people in the field, they naturally need to have a powerful cavalry. Tang Han currently has no cavalry on the surface.
Therefore, Gao Zhandao was confused and confused.
Ji Gang naturally understood what Tang Han meant.
However, Gao Zhandao has always been very thoughtful. He will know what he should know, but he will never talk too much if he shouldn't know.
After giving some other instructions, the two of them stepped out.
Although Tang Han was facing the Beidi people in front of him, his thoughts had already floated to the threat of the Xia Empire court.
On the surface, no one in the outside world knows that Beidi County has actually changed its master. Even the Beidi people, who have been destroyed thousands of people, may still think that Wurihai is in command in the city.
After all, they saw Wurihai being put into the city with their own eyes yesterday.
But Tang Han also understood that paper cannot contain the popularity, and the truth will sooner or later spread.
When the Xia Empire court learned that Beidi County was occupied by an unknown person, he would definitely send a large army to attack the city.
If the Beidi people cannot be dealt with, they may face the situation of being attacked from both sides, which is not what Tang Han wants to see.
Therefore, this battle must hurt the Beidi people before they can sit down and negotiate with them.
The more painful it hurts them this time, the smoother the negotiations will be. Moreover, Tang Han still has a bargaining chip in his hand.
Although the woman did not say a word so far, Tang Han also guessed that she should have a very important position among the people of Beidi, otherwise she would not have been allowed to lead thousands of cavalry as a vanguard, just a woman.
Taking two steps, Tang Han believes that he can grasp these people who have always been rebellious.
As long as an agreement is reached with the Beidi people and a temporary alliance is even possible, the future situation will be completely different.
At that time, I am afraid that the Summer Empire would be the one who was attacked from both sides.
However, whether the Beidi people can follow Tang Han's script depends on whether the next battle can really hurt the Beidi people.
The most powerful thing about the Beidi people was the cavalry, so Tang Han naturally had to use cavalry to deal with them.
The Beidi people were good at riding and shooting, so the most suitable army to deal with them was naturally the archers. However, if Tang Han wanted to summon archers, he had to wait until the lord's title was upgraded to the earl before he could summon it.
The two big wins yesterday and last night made Tang Han's reputation soar to more than 1,500 points, which surprised him and was delighted.
He worked hard for several months before he got hundreds of points, but the two big wins made him get more than 1,500 reputation points at once, which made him understand one truth: to make achievements or to be on the real battlefield.
Although it seems awesome to ordinary people, it can naturally be regarded as a plate of appetizers for a lord who is committed to fighting for the world.
Only by fighting with real troops and winning can you quickly increase your reputation.
The greater the victory, the greater the increase in reputation.
For the system, the reputation value required to upgrade the title of Lord Tang Han is not very high. What really consumes the reputation value is when summoning troops.
The higher the troops, the more they consume.
Tang Han originally planned to do it step by step, gradually upgrade and slowly consolidate his strength. But now it seems that time is too late, and the situation does not allow him to do it step by step again.
So after careful consideration, he decided to upgrade his title to Earl at one time.
Only when he reaches the earl can he start summoning archers. The archers are the key to his future victory.
Currently, there are more than 1,500 reputation points, and the current level is the attendant knight. To upgrade from the attendant knight to the earl in one breath, a total of 700 reputation points are required.
