Chapter 287 After the war

PreviousBack to directoryNext
When the infantry formation was facing the second offensive, more than an hour had passed.`

This is obviously an incredible attack interval, especially when the strength of the two sides is greatly different.

Of course, there is nothing surprising. There is no unified command system and the Turkic generals who fight independently have extremely low endurance when it comes to enduring casualties.

This phenomenon is not uncommon in war, and can also be said to be a rule.

When the first offensive was frustrated, the Turkic generals did not re-evaluate the enemy's combat strength. Instead, they first blamed each other's subordinates for their incompetence in combat.

Then they all made small calculations. In this regard, they had a lot in common with the rebels.

The result of a quarrel is that the weaker party will inevitably suffer, and it goes without saying.

Fortunately, the rebel generals had ready-made cannon fodder available. When they were no longer willing to throw their men under Yunnei City, they pointed their finger at the Turks who had been watching the fun.

Soon, the Turks and the rebel generals started arguing in front of Zhang Shujie. No one was willing to send people to die under the city, because everyone knew by now that the harvest would not be half the battle achievements you made.

Money matters, so who is willing to pay the price for victory?

In fact, by this time, there is no doubt about the outcome of this battle.

The sun slowly rose into the sky. During this short period of time, the infantry formation was attacked four times. Thirty thousand Turkic troops took turns in the battle, but nothing was gained except corpses lying on the ground.

.

The turtle shell under the city became more and more stable. The casualties of each attack by the Turks not only did not increase, but gradually decreased. Of course, their offensive also decreased with it.

This situation seems a bit ridiculous.

When the Turks faced the two thousand garrison guarding the city wall, they gradually lost the chance to win. Maybe if it weren't for their own concerns, the current situation should have been fought among themselves first.

The generals had their own thoughts. How could they expect the soldiers under their command to work hard? The last offensive ended outside the arrow range of the city wall.

The soldiers who withdrew did not take it seriously, and the generals fell into another round of fierce quarrels.

This is less like a war and more like a farce.

When you become careless in war and treat the enemy as nothing, war will soon make you understand how stupid such behavior is.

At this time, many Turkic soldiers were taking out dried meat and wine bags, preparing to fill their stomachs. Some of them had even gone back to the camp to slaughter sheep and prepare lunch for the generals.

Dark cavalry appeared to their north.

The Heng'an Town Army Cavalry miraculously and logically completed their assembly outside the north gate of Yunnei City and entered an attack state.

The attack should have come earlier, but the poor performance of the Turks gave this cavalry army a lot of time, and they actually got the halo bonus of the surprise attack.

This is obviously a miracle of some magnitude.

This was something that shouldn't have happened, but thanks to the laziness and underestimation of the enemy by the Turks, it all became a reality smoothly.

Amidst the exclamations, panic began to spread among the Turks in an instant. Countless cavalry came on horseback, flags flying fiercely above their heads, and the half-mails on their bodies reflected the sun, which was dazzling.

The dull sound of horse hooves instantly covered up the screams, because when they appeared, they had already entered a complete attack formation.

They surged and spread rapidly, spreading like a shadow on the ground.

Thousands of horses galloping. It came out like a flood from a broken gate.

The unsuspecting Turkic army was like a baby. After a symbolic struggle, it was completely submerged by the flood.

There were no arrows to clear the way. The soldiers of Heng'an Town directly drew out their sharp steel knives and, while galloping, just like they were doing during military training, they chopped down the enemies who were like logs one by one and dismounted them.

This was a complete massacre, and a lax enemy was no different than a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

More than 9,000 Heng'an town army cavalry completed a beautiful battle of annihilation against 30,000 Turkic troops.

After the tide of powerful cavalry swept through, the corpses of men and horses were strewn on the ground. Before the smell of blood could rise, the war ended quickly.

This was undoubtedly the simplest and easiest battle that the Heng'an Town Army had fought since its formation. Of course, it was also the battle in which they wiped out the largest number of enemies at once.

The 30,000 Turkic army was almost completely wiped out, and very few people could escape. More than 6,000 people escaped the frontal attack of the Heng'an Town Army and hid in their camps. After a symbolic resistance, they became

He was a prisoner of the Heng'an Town Army.

The harvest was pretty good. The supplies for the 30,000-strong army were not bad at all. Of course, the war horses were the most captured. Seeing the groups of war horses gathered up by the soldiers like treasures, Li Po felt that his head hurt very much.

There are too many war horses in Yunnei. This is the disadvantage of fighting the Turks. After each victory, you can harvest groups of war horses.

Besides, you can't eat horse meat unless absolutely necessary.

Any cavalryman understands the truth. Once the horse meat enters your mouth, riding a war horse to fight may be like seeking death.

Naturally, they don't know anything about biology, but they know that horses will not get too close to people who have eaten horse meat. This is the same as people who have eaten human flesh, regardless of whether others know it or not, will consciously or unconsciously alienate them.

Same.

This battle lasted only half a day, and the Heng'an town army suffered more than 400 casualties, which were almost negligible. Most of them were concentrated among the infantry led by Chen Yuan and Yu Chixin.

The infantry's position in the Heng'an Town Army was very awkward because there were many war horses. Li Po and the leading captains worked hard to build the Heng'an Town Army into a powerful cavalry force, and the results were quite remarkable.

But if you want to expand, you can't do it with cavalry alone. This is not a grassland after all. There are solid walls everywhere. Without the support of infantry, the cavalry can only carry out looting.

Just like the Turks going south, they were often frustrated by siege battles.

As groups of prisoners were taken to the military camps in the city for custody, cheers of victory could be heard on the battlefield.

Regardless of the causes and consequences, this is undoubtedly a great victory for the Heng'an Town Army.

The soldiers began to count the seizures under the officer's order with smiles on their faces. Sima Suquan, the commander of the Tongshou Prefecture, temporarily served as Mayi's meritorious officer and joined the army. While recording the merits of the soldiers, he was also thinking about how to reward these merits.

Li Po was also very busy. He immediately ordered people to go out to investigate the situation after the war. Such an easy victory made his suspicion reach its peak.

He simply ordered Wei Chi Gong and Bu Qun to take charge of cleaning the battlefield and help Su Tan record the captures, merits and other aftermath matters. Then he turned around and entered the city, ordering people to immediately select generals and officers from the prisoners and bring them all before them.

.

There are not many senior officers, and it is not easy to find a few conspicuous ones in this miscellaneous army. Of course, almost all the famous guys died in the rebel army.

The first person sent to him actually surprised Li Po.

Although this man's armor was crooked and his hair was disheveled, he looked very embarrassed, but his unique temperament still made Li Po's eyes light up.

No need to ask, this is none other than the leading general in charge of the 30,000 Turkic army, Zhang Shujie.

A guy with such thin skin and tender flesh would naturally stand out among the rough Turks. He was a genuine Turkic aristocrat at a glance.

Zhang Shujie is very lucky. Of course, the word "lucky" may not be appropriate. People who have read books, except for those nerds who have read stupidly, are actually very smart, because the word "wisdom" is directly linked to how many books you have read.

of.

Although his intelligence did not allow him to lead those generals to victory, when it came to escaping, those generals who were confused together might not be as smart as him.

When countless cavalry appeared from the north and came galloping towards them, he did not run to live and die with his men like the generals, or simply turned around and fled with his men. He was in a position where it was impossible to return to the camp.

So, when he was immediately sure that he was going to be destroyed, he led his loyal followers and rushed directly towards the city wall.

This obviously requires some courage and relatively accurate judgment, and the god of luck always favors such guys.

As a result, he successfully became a prisoner of the Sui army and spared his life.

However, it was obvious that he had been greatly frightened. His relatively fair face was now as pale as a dead person, and his eyes were moving around without any focus.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as the souls of the dead.

When he saw Li Po, he trembled as if he had seen a demon king and fell to the ground. Maybe he had never been so respectful when paying homage to a Turkic Khan.

Because the etiquette he performed is used by the Turks to worship gods, and it is the standard five-body prostrate.

Li Po, who was now full of suspicion and even a bit nervous, smiled and bared his teeth at his amusement, thinking to himself, are the Han Chinese among the Turks like this?

Is this the general who led the invasion of 30,000 Turks? A Han Chinese who is as timid as a mouse and has disgraced his ancestors?
