This battle ended quickly, and Li Po breathed a sigh of relief.`
In order to reduce some casualties, he put a lot of effort into directly converting half of the people into a mixed force of cavalry and infantry. After practicing for several days, he finally made these two-legged guys realize that as cavalry, they must
Not qualified, but they can definitely travel on four legs and fight on two legs.
But it is still impossible to avoid casualties, and this is the first battle, so we need to show some prestige.
However, to Li Po's surprise, the Turks' resistance was very weak, which was very different from what he expected.
He has not fought against the Turks once or twice. Although he can always win, the Turks give him the feeling that they are trapped beasts still fighting, and few Turks would choose to capture them without mercy.
It can be said that their fighting spirit is much stronger than that of the Sui people, but it is easy to understand that the warriors of the grassland tribes often take pride in dying in battle. Unlike the Sui people who are fierce and powerful, but subject to great constraints, in the cold grassland
They grew up in the wind and seemed to be born for fighting.
Every time I fight against the Turks, I can feel their almost crazy fighting will.
But this time, there is a big difference.
Thousands of Turks, many of them, just wanted to break out and escape, rather than choose to die fighting here.
Maybe they encountered some garbage, Li Po thought. Prairie people are also strong and weak. Maybe they encountered a relatively weak one?
Anyway, the war is over.
The casualties suffered by the Sui army cannot be said to be small, with more than 600 casualties.
The harvest was very gratifying. Groups of cattle and sheep were found by the Sui army from around the settlement area and then driven back. The wounded soldiers were also sent back to Heng'an Town overnight.
This time, Li Po accidentally became the savior.
He led the Heng'an Army to rescue more than a thousand Sui people from the Turks.
These people are all residents of Shenwu City. Fortunately, they are not too far away from their hometown. Otherwise, looking at their ragged clothes and disheveled faces, we don’t know whether they can survive until they cross the Great Wall.
There is nothing to say. Together with the cattle and sheep, they will be sent back to Yunnei City for resettlement.
Of course, these are young and strong men and women. I believe they are also happy to serve the Heng'an Town Army.
As for how many enemies he killed, it was no longer within Li Po's consideration.
Report your merits to someone higher up? As it is now, which one are you going to report to? The final reward may come down, but a large part of it will be the Hengan Town Army's own business.
Moreover, the world has become such a mess. No matter how loyal the people in Heng'an Town are to the Sui Dynasty, they will no longer care about the court thousands of miles away. They should focus on themselves first.
That night, more than 7,000 Hengan Town troops stayed at Yunnei Racecourse again.
There was no word for the whole night. The next day, Li Po sent an order to break camp and continue westward.
They didn't even leave the Yunnei Racecourse. The scouts in front came to report that they encountered Turks again.
This battle ended quickly. Before noon, more than a thousand Turks were almost surrounded and annihilated.
This time not only Li Po but also the generals felt something strange. It was too easy. The Turks completely collapsed at the first touch, and then they dropped everything and ran away like rabbits.
Damn it, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it's tempting the enemy to go deeper.
Originally, according to the plan, the army should have carried out a plundering attack on the backward Turks without any delay, leaving out the more difficult bones and looking for the soft persimmons.
But at this moment, the army stopped. General Li Po gathered together again and discussed in muttering for more than an hour.
Then, when the discussion could no longer go on, the scouts sent news that there were traces of Turks to their south and west.
The difference is that the Turks in the south don't seem to know that the Sui army actually ran in front of them.
The Turks in the west seemed to have taken precautions. While they were firing to the north, they had already sent out scouts to the east to look around.
When everyone heard this, they started chirping again.
Li Po, who was tired of hearing this, finally became firm and drove all these annoying guys back to lead the troops. He ordered the army to continue advancing westward, and then sent several more teams of scouts to the north to prevent the Turkic troops from turning around to look for them.
trouble.
On September 28, the eleventh year of Daye, the Heng'an town army fought six battles a day. In the end, even they themselves could not count how many Turks they killed and dispersed.
They captured countless cattle, sheep, and horses, and rescued more than 4,000 Sui people.
In fact, they almost plunged into the tail of the Turkic army, and by the way relieved a lot of burden on the Turks.
On the second day, the Turks in front finally responded. As for the news of the attack on the rear of the army, it is unknown whether it reached the Turks Khan account.
But a group of six to seven thousand Turkic cavalry finally appeared in the northeast of the Heng'an Town Army. What was even more frightening was that a large number of Turkic scouts also appeared in the north of the Sui army, and there were also Turkic scouts wandering south of the army.
The one who suffered this time was the Heng'an Zhenjun. The sound of the Turks' horns was so annoying.
Their traces were already within the sight of the Turkic scouts, and they could no longer escape easily.
And they had too many captives. If they chose to escape, the harvest would belong to the Turks again, and it would be impossible to send them back to Heng'an Town in time.
Of course, this situation was not beyond the expectations of the generals of Heng'an Town.
At this time, the continuous battles did not make the Heng'an town army tired. On the contrary, their morale became increasingly high.
At this time, everyone in Hengan Town had realized that the Turks were too tired and wanted to return to the grassland as soon as possible. This was just like the harvest season in Hengan Town.
Countless cattle and sheep are waiting for them to capture, and countless military exploits are showing off in front of them. It can be said that everyone in Heng'an Town has been so stimulated that their eyes are red.
Many generals beat their chests in front of Li Po, vowing that as long as he led the troops to charge forward, they would be able to defeat the Turks and preserve what they had already obtained.
A group of misers can't accomplish anything great.
Li Po expressed his contempt.
He didn't talk nonsense to these hot-headed guys at all, and immediately began to exercise his authority as the commander-in-chief of an army, which once again proved to everyone his ability to lead troops.
This also created the most exciting battle in his battle to become famous.
He sent people to quickly catch up with the team transporting the loot back, and asked them to come back and join the army. In the morning of that day, the Sui army abandoned the large herds of cattle and sheep and rushed south.
If Li Po had decided at night, the result might have been completely different. They might have had no choice but to break out eastward with their tail between their legs.
Because the Turks in the south have already assembled a cavalry team of more than 2,000 people, it is conceivable that as time goes by, more Turks will gather towards them.
This time, Li Po didn't play any tricks. He raised his sword high and led the 7,000 Heng'an Town troops to sweep towards the enemy.
The Turks were indeed very tired, and the severe cold in the north was constantly wearing down their will to fight. But just like many days ago, Li Po led his troops to attack the enemy despite being frozen in the cold wind for a day and a night.
, the Turks were not without the ability to fight back at this time.
At this time, the Sui army's numerical advantage was highlighted. Moreover, they were all wearing half-armor, carrying sophisticated bows and arrows, and holding standard ring knives in their hands.
Their equipment was as luxurious as theirs, and there were very few Sui cavalry units.
This is the unique preferential treatment of the frontier standing army, coupled with the special care of Li Jing, the Prime Minister of Mayi County, which makes them what they are now.
Moreover, the Sui army had high morale and had a clear strategic purpose, while the Turks, on the other hand, rushed into battle.
Various reasons make this battle without any suspense.
The two armies blew their horns almost at the same time, with galloping horses, fierce knights, flying arrows, and swords and guns raised simultaneously.
The moment the two armies met, they clashed with extremely bright sparks.
Countless warriors screamed and fell off their horses, countless blood spurted into the air, and countless war horses fell to the ground in mourning.
This was not the most magnificent and tragic war that Li Po participated in, because no war was more magnificent and tragic than the First Battle of Liaodong.
But this was the most dangerous battle that Li Po had participated in since he led the army. Arrows rained down, and even though he kept his body as low as possible, he still heard his armor ring twice, and an arrow grazed his face.
, which made the hairs on his hair stand on end.
Dodging the rain of arrows, countless figures passed by him. With his agility, he could only swing his sword and use his horse power to cut off the Turks from their horses. He also received a knife in the lower part of his chest.
There was a loud bang, and he almost fell off his horse.
At this time, if he falls off his horse, there may only be one consequence, and that is to be trampled to pieces by the galloping horse behind him.
Afterwards, he had a new understanding of his luck, but he decided never to lead a cavalry charge again. He felt that it was simply an act of seeking death to test whether his life was strong enough.
Unfortunately, within a day, he completely forgot about it.
In these two rounds of face-to-face fighting, the Turks were defeated, and they did not even have a chance to fight with the Sui army.
Looking at the Turks who turned around and fled, the Sui army gathered their troops.
After counting the casualties, they ran towards the east...
In this battle, the Sui army suffered heavy casualties, with more than 700 people left on the battlefield.
Almost half of the people here either fell off their horses or were chopped off by the Turks because their riding skills were so poor.
The Turkic scouts followed the Sui army all the time. The sound of horns kept coming and going, bothering the Sui army like flies.
But they were undoubtedly out of danger. The Sui army's scouts were strangled with the Turks' rangers, and they were always paying attention to the Turks' movements.
