Section 825, 826 You, don't forget me!

When Li Luo's big banner came to the battlefield, all the results and casualties statistics were also released.

The Yuan army cavalry surrendered more than 4,000, more than 38,700 were killed, and more than 23,000 were captured due to injuries. The Yuan army cavalry lost a total of 65,000, of which only tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry were tens of thousands. In other words, most of the results were the Semu cavalry. Most of the Mongolian cavalry successfully escaped.

More than 92,000 complete war horses were seized, and the archers and armor were counted.

The Tang army cavalry suffered more than 25,000 casualties. Among them, more than 12,000 were killed in battle. More than 3,000 cavalrymen of Zhezha's army died in battle, and most of the others were injured. Zhezha was also hit by five arrows. Fortunately, there were two layers of black armor protection, so the injury was not severely injured.

More than 10,000 musketeers who participated in the war were killed and injured more than 4,000 people, of which 2,000 were killed in battle. Even the firearm general Yan Jun was injured by arrows.

The Tang army's cavalry and infantry suffered a total of 30,000 casualties, which resulted in this victory.

In addition to the thousands of casualties when annihilated 50,000 traitor army infantry, the Tang army defeated 150,000 infantry and cavalry of the Yuan army at the cost of a total of 33,000 casualties, and only more than 30,000 cavalry of the Yuan army escaped.

It's a great victory!

This was the largest and most casualties in the Tang army's cavalry! The 80,000 cavalry who followed Li Luo, less than 60,000 could get on the horse and fight again at this time.

If it weren't for the killer weapon of the three-eyed pistol, the cavalry would not have won the final battle. As long as you see more than half of the Yuan army died from muskets, you can imagine what the result would have been without the three-eyed pistol.

Without a three-eyed musket, at most it is a draw, and it would be great if it is not defeated.

Therefore, Tang Lord Li Luo did not feel much joy.

The casualties... were too big.

Many familiar cavalry veterans died in this battle.

This victory proved that the Mongolian cavalry and the Red Army of the Dissertation (Semu Cavalry) were still powerful and were still the number one cavalry in the world.

Even if the Tang cavalry is hard to train, it cannot change the fact that Mongolian cavalry is the best in the world at this time.

Only by combining firearms with mobility can the Mongolian cavalry be restrained.

The name of a fallen Tang army soldier was recorded, and his bodies were placed together and prepared to be buried on the spot.

"Issued an order to set up a National War cemetery here to collectively bury the fallen soldiers. Issued officials from nearby prefectures and counties to prepare coffins and handle them properly. The handling is done well and the officials of Tang will be appointed at the original level!" Li Luo issued an imperial edict.

Since most places in Henan have changed their banners and returned to the Tang Dynasty, Xinyang has already belonged to the Tang Dynasty. The remains of soldiers do not need to be cremated and brought back to the south, but can be buried on the spot.

"Abide by the order!" Wei Su, the marching Sima, also served as the former imperial counselor, received the order and immediately drafted the edict.

More than 15,000 bodies were neatly arranged for a mile, and the soldiers who attended the visit cried loudly. Li Luo led the generals and the civil servants of the army to silently look at the bodies of the fallen soldiers, all with a sad look on their faces.

"Boom-"

"Bang bang bang-" The nine artillery artillery of the Tang army and hundreds of muskets roared together, mourning to the fallen soldiers. More than 100,000 soldiers took off their helmets together, bowed their heads and observed silently.

Following the army, military music played, and more than 100,000 people slowly sang "National Mourning":

"Fuck Wu Gexi and wore rhinoceros armor..."

Even the Tang lord Li Luo and the generals sang along.

The song is low and long, vast and gloomy, sacred and solemn, and heart-wrenching. It is like the sound of the sky, and it is as lofty and illusory as the sound of the sky.

In the sound of "National Sorrow", nine Taoist priests wearing Yin-Yang Bagua Taoist robes and high crowns on their heads were out of the list, holding magic weapons.

The nine Taoist priests were all Taoist officials of the Zhongwu Taoist Palace. They wore mysterious masks, either holding Taoist scriptures or holding seven-star swords. Or holding magic bells, singing "Soul Conjuring" while slowly dancing.

"…The emperor told Wu Yang: Someone is here, I want to assist him. My soul is separated. You divine me... Your eyes are thousands of miles away and hurt your spring heart, and your soul is back..."

Among the song of soul-summoning and the song of the National Sorrow, a Taoist official suddenly roared the bell and shouted loudly: "The fallen soldiers have spirits, and I ask you to say, "I will fight for the Tang Dynasty again in the next life! The martial soul is back! The martial soul is immortal!"

"Rebirth and fight for the Tang Dynasty again! The martial soul is back! The martial soul is immortal!" Tens of thousands of soldiers shouted together, shaking the world.

This is the "soul-summoning" stipulated by the Tang army. It is a ritual specially performed for the fallen soldiers on the battlefield. It is one of the spiritual treatments of the Tang army.

The Yuan army prisoners listened to "National Mourning" and watched "Summoning the Soul", and seemed to understand the reason why the Tang army was powerful.

After seeing off on the battlefield, the body was restrained. The sheets embroidered with the Tang army battle flag were covered on the body, making them look extremely solemn.

In order to show respect for the fallen soldiers, the Tang army was wearing special military uniforms and buried with paper armor and wooden swords.

Moreover, the fallen soldiers must add one to two levels of military ranks to carve inscriptions. For example, an ordinary soldier must have a length on the inscription. The length must be engraved, and the head must be engraved with the head.

It is really a life, glory, death, and sorrow.

"Your Majesty, the ink treasures are ready. Please ask Your Majesty to write the ink treasures." Wei Su said respectfully to Li Luo.

Li Luo came to the temporary case, picked up a wolf hair dipped in ink, and wrote the ten big words "Tang Dynasty Xinyang Martyrs Cemetery". This is the name of the cemetery.

Then, he wrote a couplet in regular script:

"I dedicated my body to China to create a prosperous era, and blood fertilized the Central Plains to restore the Han family."

The horizontal couplet is: Martial soul immortal.

The Tang Lord's calligraphy is grand and magnificent. At this time, it is completely a master's pen and is already very considerable. Even later calligraphers can only say it is good.

After Li Luo finished writing, Wei Su invited the imperial calligraphy to go down.

Then, Wei Su asked for instructions on how to deal with the body of the Yuan army who died in battle.

"After cremation, the ashes are buried together. Let's write the tomb of the Yuan army that fell into battle. Let them accompany the martyrs' cemetery. It is also a lesson for future generations." Li Luo said, while writing the six big words "Tomb of the Yuan army that fell into battle".

I also wrote a couplet:

"The failure of the halberd is buried with hatred, and the death is sad and the autumn is thought of the desert."

The horizontal couplet is: Why bother to the beginning?

"Your Majesty is magnificent and far-sighted. It is the mind of Tian Khan!" Wei Su and others said.

"Wine comes!" Li Luo shouted.

In a moment, the wine was presented. Li Luo held the wine glass in his hand and sat on the ground in front of the body of the Tang army soldiers, and said slowly:

"You guys, some of you were following my hometown heroes when you were Jiang Hua, and some of you were following my delegation in Haidong. The latest one was also the northwestern man who followed the Tang Dynasty for two years."

"You, some are Han people, some are Jurchen people, some are Khitan people, Dangxiang people, Tubo people, Mongolian people... You are all Chinese men, my loyal guardians, and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."

"But now, you are tired, you are lying on the ground, the blood is dry, the autumn wind is blowing, I... are afraid of you, are afraid of your cold night."

"Your Majesty..." The soldiers knelt down together, and each of them burst into tears. "Why should you do this?"

Li Luo continued in tears: "Many of you have old mothers above and children below. More people have no family yet, so the incense is cut off. For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, you are still so young, so you went there like this. I'm sorry, I can't let you see that day of restoration of the Central Plains and rebirth of the prosperous age!"

"Your Majesty..." The generals were sobbing that they could hardly speak, so they could only cry and kowtow.

Li Luo gently patted a body and sighed heavily, "But, I must not stop fighting, the Tang Dynasty cannot stop fighting. In this world, peace and China is unified, there must be people who sacrifice their lives for the country, and there must be people who will be worn away. Even I, the king of future generations, may die for the Tang Dynasty. But when I see you lying here, I still... I still feel sad. Alas... In the past ten years, too many people have died for the great cause of the future. They, you, are both my ministers and my brothers."

"When I die in the future, I will engrave the names of all of you in my tombs, let you accompany me, follow you forever, and keep the king and his subjects..."

After Li Luo said this, he drank the wine in a toast, "I toast you this glass of wine! I have a final decree for you. Go with peace of mind. You will not be lonely behind you. There is still me and the Tang Dynasty in everything. You will not forget you! You, don't forget me, the Tang Dynasty! I respect this!"

After Li Luo said that, many soldiers cried.

"His Majesty…"

"Tian Khan..." Even the Mongolian soldiers such as Zhezha were filled with tears.

The whole army cried bitterly, and then shouted long live the mountain.

"Long live His Majesty, long live, long live!"

"Long live the Tang Dynasty!"

"Long live! The Tang Dynasty will win!"

…………

Masu and Adalutai, with more than 30,000 cavalrymen, rushed south and fled north in a hurry.

After this great defeat, the morale of the Yuan army was sluggish, and the feather arrows were not supplied, so in fact they had lost the ability to fight again.

The more than 30,000 Yuan army ran for more than a hundred miles with one man and two horses before they could escape the pursuit of the Tang army with their superb riding skills. Then they took a breath.

Thinking of the Dayuan cavalry that had lost more than 60,000 yuan, the veteran general Masu could no longer help but vomit a mouthful of blood, and his body swayed and fell off the horse.

"That's the face!"

"Master!"

They dismounted from the horse together and helped the numbin up, but they saw that the numbin face was like gold paper, bleeding from the corners of their mouths, and they were already dying.

"Master!" Deputy coach Adalutai shook the genin violently, "My genin looks, you wake up quickly!"

Masu opened his eyes with difficulty and said, "I can't do it anymore, I can't walk anymore."

He cried and said, "Yan, the warriors still need Yan to take them to turn defeat into victory!"

The genin bellows were panting, and waved his hands with difficulty, "Adarutai, I, Makino, order you to bring the warriors... back to Hebei..."

Adalutai said in tears: "Then please stand up and take the warriors back."

"I can't do it anymore." Masumi's face showed a breath of death, and his speech became smoother. "I am over 60 years old, and I am not a short-lived ghost when I die. Unfortunately, I was born in the desert, but I did not die in the desert, and I could not return to the embrace of the Heaven of Eternal Life."

"Don't worry, Marshal, as long as I, Adarutai, will take the Magistrate back to Hebei." Adarutai also knew that the genin was exhausted and the lamp was dry, so he couldn't help but feel very sad.

"Lutai!" Mamonas grabbed Adalutai's hand tightly, and was so powerful that he was scary. "Don't fight in Henan anymore, and don't participate in the Battle of Luoyang. Hurry up and take the warriors back to Hebei! You must remember that Mongolian warriors are more precious than the land of the Han people! We Mongolians can't afford to fight against Li Luo..."

Adalutai was hesitant, he didn't want to just escape back to Hebei in shame.

After all, there are still no less than 100,000 Dayuan Iron Cavalry in Luoyang and Luzhou. As long as they meet with any of them, they still have a chance to turn defeat into victory. Dayuan Iron Cavalry is still strong in Henan.

If you fight a few battles well, there is no hope of turning the tables. When will the Dayuan Iron Cavalry be timid? Even if the feather arrows are not in sufficient supply, you can continue to fight!

"Promise me! Go back quickly! It's not worth it to ruin so many precious tribe members for this land in Henan! I am the old guard of Dahan, and I know the best about Dahan's thoughts! Promise me!" Masu's eyes widened and he stared at Adalutai.

Adalutai sighed and could only agree, "Okay, handsome, I promise you, take the warriors back to Hebei."

After hearing this, Masu's breath that tried hard to lift it dissipated. His eyes suddenly rolled, and he could no longer speak, but just pointed his fingers in the direction of Luoyang.

When Adalutai looked at it again, he saw Masumi's neck tilted and he had already died. Only his hand was still pointing in the direction of Luoyang.

"Masterman." Adalutai cried.

The generals asked in tears, "What does Lutai's face mean, the commander's fingers northwest?"

Adalutai sighed and smiled bitterly: "This is the last last order of the general. Let us notify the Luoyang army and ask them not to fight with the Tang army in Henan and withdraw back to Hebei together. Well, there are also the army in Luzhou. The general also wants us to notify us and return to the north together."

The generals looked at each other and stopped fighting. They just retreated to Hebei in this way? Then the Khan would not blame them?

Adalutai said: "Our warehouses in Henan have been burned down, but only the Luoyang warehouse has not been destroyed. If we go to Luoyang to replenish supplies and join the Luoyang army, we will have a chance to turn the tables. But if we go to Luoyang to participate in the war, we will definitely delay our return to the north. If we lose again, we will not be able to go back."

"I mean, if you don't go to Luoyang, you will follow the commander's last words and return to the north. We will send someone to inform Luoyang and Luzhou. If they want to fight, they will fight, and if they want to leave, we will leave."

The Yuan army in Henan, Jiangbei, originally had unified command. The person responsible for unified command was the "Da Yuan Special Envoy" in Kaifeng.

However, the envoy of the Dayuan was captured by Modu and Zhao Xian during the Kaifeng Incident. This resulted in the loss of unified command by the 300,000 troops in Jiangbei, Henan and Jiangbei, and were divided into three divisions.

However, all prefectures and counties in Henan returned to Tang, and the post stations were controlled by prefectures and counties and Song army that returned to Tang, and Kublai Khan's imperial edict could no longer be conveyed.

The three Yuan armies were fighting each other, and the military plans were clearly understood by the Tang army spies. However, they had almost no knowledge of the Tang army's intelligence.

At this moment, Adalutai sent a small team of cavalry to go east to Luzhou to report the news. Although this team of cavalry only had a hundred people, as long as they did not meet the Tang cavalry along the way, they could walk sideways without fear of being captured by the local governments who returned to Tang.

Then, a team of 100 people was sent to Luoyang to report the news.

"I hope it's still too late!" Adalutai couldn't guarantee whether the messenger had started fighting in Luoyang and Luzhou after he arrived. If the fight started, would it be better to win or lose.

Afterwards, Adalutai took the body of Makinin and went straight north, regardless of his plan to return to the north.

As expected, Adalutai sent two 100 teams to report the news, galloping arrogantly and domineeringly, and the prefectures and counties along the way did not dare to stop them. Some county towns were even attacked by a few hundred Tartar cavalry.

When the surrounding Song army came, the Taurus cavalry had already gone far away. If there were a small group of Song army, the Taurus 100 teams directly shot arrows and slashed with swords, showing their power, and killed the Song army that was several times more powerful than them, and then left bows and arrows for the Taurus cavalry.

However, when the Tartars team who went to Luzhou to report the news encountered a Song army from the two Huai Rivers from Chuzhou, they were not so lucky.

The Song army in the two Huai Rivers is not a soft persimmon!

The Song army in the two Huai Rivers had only one battalion (500 people), and they were all infantry, but they dared to take the initiative to attack the Hundred Tatars cavalry. After a bloody battle, the Hundred Tatars cavalry lost dozens of people and no longer dared to be arrogant.

When the remaining dozens of Tartar cavalry finally arrived in Luzhou, they heard the sound of killing outside Luzhou City shook the sky, the feather arrows were like locusts, and the roar of firearms was also shocking. It turned out that the war had already begun.

After all, it's one step late.

I don't know what the battle is going on.

The Tartar cavalry who came to report the news had to ride a horse to a nearby hill to watch the battle.

With just one glance, they secretly screamed something was wrong!
