Tang Yanhai's laziness caused everyone to burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.
Then Han Zhong and Lin Feng expressed their views and opinions respectively:
"The coordination between infantry and cavalry needs more training. We still don't have enough bows and crossbows. We need a bow for every man so we can inflict heavy damage on the Tartars before they even reach the city walls!"
"The soldiers' individual combat capabilities still need improvement. We had a thousand people attacking three hundred Tatars, and despite having the numerical advantage, we still paid a heavy price."
"We are now at the forefront of the battle against the Tartars. Two battalions of infantry are not enough. I suggest creating another battalion of archers. Spears, swords and shields, and bows and crossbows will coordinate with each other!"
"Auxiliary troops must also undergo the same level of training intensity as the soldiers, so that the replenishment of troops will not be interrupted."
“…”
Among the officers under his command, if he had to pick out one or two who would be able to stand on their own in the future, they would be Han Zhong and Lin Feng.
Influenced by Zhao Muyun's personal charm and his master-like guidance, Han Zhong changed from Zhang Biao's lackey to Zhao Muyun's die-hard fan and follower.
From the moment Zhao Muyun tried to keep him, Han Zhong had secretly made up his mind to follow her until death.
Han Zhong was eager for the unheard-of and endless knowledge in Zhao Muyun, and he secretly comprehended and worked hard in a place where no one could see.
In the absence of Zhao Muyun, Han Zhongneng was able to control the situation in Yinzhou Duwei Mansion.
Lin Feng, who was originally a soldier of the Dun Army at Yinzhou Beacon Tower, was discovered by Zhao Muyun in Shulechuan.
From Shulechuan to Snow Wolf Lake, and then to Zishui Valley, Lin Feng's abilities gradually emerged.
After Zhao Muyun became the commander of Yinzhou, he promoted him to centurion without hesitation, commanding a battalion of troops.
Now, the various opinions that both of them had expressed on the battle that had just ended were absolutely to the point.
Only officers like them who actually command operations on the front line can have such insights.
Hearing their suggestions, Zhao Muyun nodded and said, "You two have great potential in the future! You have the talent to be more than just a prefectural commander!"
"Uncle, please take note of their suggestions and implement them one by one."
Then Tian Qing and Wu Shangzhi also loudly expressed their suggestions.
Wu Shangzhi proposed to form another cavalry team of Dayin people.
Zhao Muyun deeply agreed with this matter, and Huan Naxue also expressed his willingness to make a proposal.
She had only 300 Wuhuan cavalrymen, and 50 of them were killed in this battle. It would be difficult to recruit new troops from the Wuhuan tribe in a short time.
Wu Shangzhi's ancestors made a living by raising horses, and he himself is also very knowledgeable about horse breeding.
That time, Zhao Muyun took Tang Yanhai and Wang Tiezhu out of the beacon tower and the Black Camel Mountain to rescue people, and Wu Shangzhi took the initiative to follow them.
He also worked with Tang Yanhai to light the Tatars' horsetails, dispersing them and creating a good opportunity for Zhao Muyun to save the opponent with a long shot.
Afterwards, although Wu Shangzhi and Tian Qing participated in many battles in Zhao Muyun's team, their performance was not very obvious.
Today Wu Shangzhi proposed to build a cavalry unit of Dayin, which is very urgent.
Zhao Muyun cannot always rely on the Wuhuan cavalry!
Fortunately, there were already thousands of war horses before, and hundreds more were captured this time. There is no shortage of war horses needed to form a cavalry, but what is lacking now is people!
Those Beidi or Wuhuan people who grew up on horseback can ride on horseback as if it were flat ground.
However, the Dayin people in Yinzhou, Yanzhou and Shuozhou also rode horses a lot.
It is imperative to form a cavalry for the Dayin people, and the conditions are in place.
"Xiao Wu will be in charge of organizing the cavalry! I'll allocate you a quota of 300 men. You can choose the personnel from the entire army, including the horses!"
Zhao Muyun immediately made the final decision.
In the future, whether it is to recover the three states of Yun, Sheng and Feng, or to cross the Daqing Mountains and completely eliminate the Northern Di Tartars, we will need a powerful cavalry of our own to sweep across the grassland.
Then, everyone started discussing this battle again. The more they discussed, the clearer the answer became, and their thinking became more open.
After watching from the side, Yinji was also secretly amazed.
As far as he knew, other generals in the Dayin army were not like Zhao Muyun. They did not have any review and summary, nor did they have their officers analyze the gains and losses. Everything was decided by the commander-in-chief and his staff.
No wonder Zhao Muyun was able to win battles, it must be inseparable from his style of military management.
In just three or four months, he was promoted from a small soldier in the border army at a beacon tower to a captain of a prefecture. For a person with no background like him, he achieved his position entirely through accumulated military merits.
I heard that Fan Nan, the former assistant minister of the Ministry of War, had some connections with him and wanted to promote him to his side, but he declined.
Yinji observed everything silently, and became more and more appreciative and respectful of Zhao Muyun.
"Okay, that's all for this review of the war!"
Zhao Muyun raised his voice and ended the discussion.
He paused, and when he saw that everyone had quieted down, his expression grew serious, and he slowly said, "In this battle, we also lost more than 350 people!"
"The injured are being treated by the medical team. Doctor Ma will do his best to have them reintegrate into the army."
"But the dead can no longer be hastily buried and given a pension as in the past."
Zhao Muyun stopped.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Muyun.
Veterans in the army such as Tang Yanhai, Han Zhong and Lin Feng all knew that they should be thankful if those who died in battle could be laid to rest and their families received a compensation.
What’s worse, there is no trace of any remains and even no name is known.
Therefore, they were a little confused. Zhao Muyun said that this could not be done, so what else could they do?
Border soldiers like them are just numbers in the war. Is it worth writing books and biographies about them?
"The fallen comrades died to protect Yinzhou! They sacrificed their lives to defend our homeland!"
"They are heroes and martyrs, and they should be admired and remembered forever!"
Zhao Muyun's voice became angry and deep.
Everyone seemed to feel an invisible force pulling them, holding their breath and listening carefully to what Zhao Muyun said.
"Therefore, I have decided not only to bury them properly on the hillside outside Yinzhou City, but also to build a martyrs' cemetery and engrave their names on stone tablets, so that the living and future generations will know their names and heroic deeds!"
Martyrs' Cemetery!
Everyone's breathing suddenly became rapid, especially veterans like Tang Yanhai, Han Zhong, and Lin Feng, who were trembling all over and their eyes lit up.
This is the first time they have heard of such a thing!
However, they also know how heavy the significance is for a soldier!
"Green mountains are lucky enough to bury loyal bones, but how many have ever returned from battles throughout history?"
Seeing the excited expressions of Tang Yanhai and other soldiers, Zhao Muyun also looked solemn.
"What a martyrs' cemetery!"
"The soldiers of Dayin now have another reason to sacrifice their lives for their country."
When Zhao Muyun proposed to build a martyrs' cemetery, Yinji couldn't help but clap his hands and praise loudly.
