Then, he suddenly sat up and remembered the battle last night, "Here comes someone!"
As his voice sounded, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the cold wind rushed in, making Wu Huaiyu shiver. A group of people rushed in. This appearance made Wu Huaiyu laugh, "Why are you panicking?"
?”
Wu Sigong, the adopted son of Fuyu Mohe, was the first to report the victory excitedly. Huaiyu yawned slowly and then stretched his body, stretched out his hands and rubbed his face, "Serve me breakfast first, I'm hungry."
Li Keyong, the adopted son of Sumo Mohe, fetched clothes for Wu Huaiyu and hung them by the stove to keep them warm. Both Yuwen Chengdu and An Lushan went to fight in the army, and now Li Keyong took care of these things.
Two young men, Ke Yong and Wu Sigong, did it.
After getting dressed, breakfast was served.
Stewed horse meat with milk tea, very battlefield style.
Last night's battle resulted in many horse casualties. Those dead horses were immediately processed by people from the logistics camp, skinned, bones and meat separated. Many injured horses were examined by veterinarians, and those with serious injuries were directly slaughtered.
After peeling the skin and removing the bones, the meat can be frozen directly in cold weather without worrying about spoilage.
As a result, the soldiers were able to improve their food and eat meat.
Wu Huaiyu devoured the stewed horse meat. He did not dislike the cook's rough cooking skills or the simple seasonings in the army. Some generals like him like to bring their own cooks with the army, but Wu Huaiyu still stirred the rice directly with the soldiers with a horse spoon.
.
Of course, there are also cooks in the military merchant group. If you want to eat roasted whole lamb, they can arrange it for you.
"Tell me about the specific battle situation. Did Jie Li get caught?"
"Jieli hasn't been caught yet. This guy is very cunning and very lucky. Tuli almost surrounded him, but his concubine was very loyal and brave to protect him from the encirclement." Li Keyong's eloquence was good,
There was a sudden fight last night, and Jieli woke up from his sleep, but he was lucky enough to escape.
Since then, Tu Li, Su Dingfang, Li Tu Diji, Gao Rong and others have been pursuing him, but a white-haired wind blew last night and it was dark, so Jie Li finally escaped.
"oh."
Wu Huaiyu finished eating a large piece of horse meat, and his stomach felt a little better, so he picked up the milk tea and drank it. Jieli ran away, which was not beyond his expectation. In fact, although the plan for the raid last night was good, after all, the remnants of the sudden surprise attack
The defeated generals and the Youzhou Army were only about 50,000 troops.
But Jieli still had nearly 100,000 troops.
In fact, last night was quite dangerous. If Jieli hadn't been caught off guard, especially Tuli's counterattack, if the Tang army had launched a night attack, they might have been discovered before they even got close to the camp, and who would win in a chaotic fight?
It’s hard to say if you lose.
Tu Li and the others' defection was crucial. They launched an attack directly in the camp and went straight to the Golden Wolf tent. It can be said that the entire camp was blown up in one fell swoop.
And Jieli only thought of escaping at the first moment, instead of gathering troops to fight back, which was also the key to their failure.
In the dark night, there was no command, and the Turks were fighting on their own. In addition, the Tang army used thunder, rockets and other firearms, and Tuli spread rumors that the Tang army had come in. After a while, they said that Wu Huaiyu from Youzhou had arrived.
, and later it was announced that Li Ji from Bingzhou had arrived, causing the Turks to panic.
But when Zhi lost his ability to think, Ashina Simo and other noble leaders from various tribes knew that the Golden Wolf Tribe had fallen and Jie Li was not sure whether he was alive or dead. How could they dare to fight and fled one after another, which turned into a rout.
Xu Siye came in from outside.
"Erlang is awake?"
He told Wu Huaiyu that the fighting was still going on outside. Su Lie, Tu Li and other people were still pursuing the victory. They had been fighting for half the night last night. From midnight to dawn, they were still pursuing.
Anyway, now Jieli's 100,000 troops were leaderless and completely dispersed. They all went their separate ways and ran towards their hometowns. The pursuers also beat up the drowned dogs.
Now, not only Jieli's various troops were defeated and scattered, but the pursuing Tang army, Turks, Xi, Khitan and other troops were basically fighting on their own.
Huaiyu was not worried after hearing this. Jieli's army was so defeated now that even if the Immortal Tengger came down to earth, it would be impossible to gather so many defeated troops in a short period of time.
Being defeated like a mountain is not just a joke.
Now that the morale of the Tang Tuo coalition is high, there is no need to worry too much about them.
He picked up another large piece of horse meat, cut it with a knife and continued to fill his stomach, "Send someone to find General Su, give them the surname of the country, and let them lead the cavalry to continue the pursuit, but they must also be more careful. The rest of the infantry stopped pursuing.
Let them take the Turkic camp as the center and sweep the surrounding area for thirty miles.
The township regiments and logistics troops cleaned the battlefield, collected corpses, guarded prisoners, collected livestock, etc. within ten miles of the Turkic camp."
Wu Huaiyu felt full of energy after having breakfast.
"Go down the mountain and go to the Turkic camp."
Li Keyong reminded Wu Huaiyu that there is still chaos at the bottom of the mountain, but it is safer on Badger Mountain.
"Jie Li has already fled in panic, so why should I be afraid?"
Pursuing can increase the results, but one must be careful to avoid being seized by Jie Li to overturn the situation, although the possibility of this is very small.
When he arrived at the foot of the mountain, he didn't see Tu Li or Su Dingfang.
On the contrary, I met Lu Chengye and other envoys sent out earlier. Although they were peace advocates, they were also very brave. However, they were not respected by Jieli. Jieli mocked them and detained them in the camp.
, from the foot of Langwei Mountain to Yehuling,
Because the attack on the mountain was frustrated, Jieli was also angry with them. Although he did not let anyone whip them, he did not give them food or dried cow dung to make a fire for warmth. They suffered from cold and hunger for three days. When the chaos broke out last night
, they were also almost killed. Fortunately, they were wearing the official uniforms of the Tang Dynasty, and most of these scholars were good at riding and shooting. Although the incident happened suddenly, at least they still had swords beside them.
A few small groups of Turks tried to kill them, but they were repulsed and several people were slightly injured. Afterwards, no one cared about them anymore. When the Turks arrived, they sent troops to protect them.
Seeing Wu Huaiyu, Lu Chengye felt a little aggrieved, even a little angry, and wanted to go up and give Wu Huaiyu a blow.
But in the end, he still came forward to pay homage.
"Congratulations to the Commander-in-Chief on your successful battle!"
A group of Youzhou scholars also congratulated Wu Huaiyu with mixed emotions. They were the peace advocates and acted as peace envoys with full responsibility. Who knew that Wu Huaiyu had no intention of negotiating peace at all, but instead came such an earth-shattering battle at Yehuling?
.
And he succeeded.
They still can't believe it.
But in the past few days, they were also in the Jieli camp. They saw with their own eyes the huge number of the Turkic army, and also saw the panic and cunningness of Jieli's defeat.
Wu Huaiyu actually fought so hastily and won with just his own strength, and won so beautifully.
It's simply a miracle.
Lu Chengye really had to admire and admire his brother-in-law.
"Thank you for your hard work." Wu Huaiyu helped Lu Chengye up and asked the others to get up, "Let's go sit in Jieli's golden wolf tent together."
Jieli's golden wolf tent has been reorganized and repaired. Although there are still blood stains and stains that have not been cleaned in time, the decoration of gold, silver and jade still makes this big tent very majestic.
However, the golden wolf banner in front of the tent is no longer flying, and now the Tang Army's sun, moon, star and three-chen flags, as well as the handsome flag with the word Wu, are newly erected there.
The golden wolf banner is now in the tent and has become Tuli's gift to Wu Huaiyu.
"Khan Tuli asked the young man to tell Xianggong Wu that he would lead his men to pursue Jieli and vow to capture him and offer him to Xianggong."
The person who conveyed the news about Tu Li to Huaiyu was his cousin, Photographer Special Qin, who was the one who led people to protect Lu Chengye and his party on Tu Li's orders last night.
Tuli Khan did not need Wu Huaiyu's order and had been pursuing Jieli for a long time. He was more eager to capture Jieli than Wu Huaiyu, and it was best to chop off his head.
Huaiyu stood in front of the Golden Wolf tent, with the Sanchen flag flying high above his head, very eye-catching, reminding everyone that the camp had changed hands.
But the whole camp was still in chaos, with corpses all over the ground, as well as dead horses that had not yet been slaughtered and skinned, all of which were frozen solid.
Some tents were burned down by fire last night, leaving behind dark remnants.
In this camp, people from the logistics battalion and the caravans accompanying the army are basically busy, carrying corpses, cutting up dead horses, collecting weapons, organizing tents, and even re-reinforcing fences, setting up tents, and rushing to repair prisoner camps for resettlement.
Prisoners kept being taken.
The soldiers have already centered on the camp and spread to the periphery to search for fleeing enemies.
The sky is gray,
The beacon smoke on the mountains in Yehuling has turned into three wisps,
The beacon smoke has not stopped, and the war has not stopped.
The north wind whimpered, carrying the slightest smell of blood.
Huaiyu stood in front of the tent for a while, and then entered the big tent.
The tent has been rearranged, and the handmade carpet from the Persian Sasanian Empire is large and bright, highlighting the noble status of the old owner.
The jade cups, gold pots, silver bowls, etc. in the tent are also extraordinary.
Huaiyu sat on the spot where Jieli used to be, where a rare white bear skin was spread, "Lu Canjun, I'm going to have to work hard for you next,"
The battle is not over yet, but as civilians in the army, such as those who joined the army, they have begun to get busy. They have to count the results, record military merits, and register various captured trophies.
The other thing is to report the victory to the Emperor of Chang'an.
Wu Huaiyu asked Lu Chengye to write a report of victory to the emperor on his behalf, and sent someone 800 miles away to rush it to Chang'an.
Next, good news kept coming, including how many more were killed, how many were captured, and how many were captured. When it got dark, only Su Lie’s Qingyi cavalry was still chasing Jieli.
The Sumo Mohe cavalry of Diji, the Fuyu Mohe cavalry of Wufuyu, the Shanhouzi cavalry of Gaorong Gaoning, the Turkic cavalry of Tuli, the Xibu cavalry of Keduzhe, and the Khitan of Dahemohui
The cavalry is gone, and they are still clinging to it.
The rest of the troops have basically been ordered to stop pursuing, and instead began to sweep the battlefield to hunt down the remaining enemies.
Su Dingfang and the others have chased them hundreds of miles away.
But still couldn't catch up with Jie Li.
Jieli's ability to escape is truly amazing.
Even Zhi lost his thoughts, Ashina Simo, Zhao Deyan and others could not catch up with any of them.
The largest fish captured so far are just a few special agents.
Wu Huaiyu knew that he would not be able to catch up.
However, he was satisfied with such a record.
The Turks are good at riding and shooting. This is on the grassland, so it is really difficult to catch them.
"Send someone to give an order to General Su and others to stop the pursuit."
"Also send someone to send a message to Tuli Khan to stop the pursuit."
The next manhunt will continue for several days, but it will basically be within a hundred miles near Yehuling.
For Wu Huaiyu and the Youzhou Army, this war is over.
They won.
In the evening, Wu Huaiyu took the statistics compiled by Lu Chengye and others. The number of kills and prisoners was not shocking. In fact, they defeated Jieli's 100,000 troops. However, after a day and night of attacks and pursuits, the number of beheads in the capital was less than 10,000.
Many of them were caught up, surrounded and killed when they fled, and not many were captured. Many of them were surrounded and surrendered and were captured, about ten thousand.
The total number of executions and prisoners was less than 20,000,
Previously, Jieli attacked Badgerzui for two days and one night, resulting in 40,000 casualties.
Lu Chengye felt that maybe the summarized figures were not accurate, and maybe there were still many people who had not come yet to submit the reports to sort out the calculations.
Wu Huaiyu said, "One hundred thousand people were defeated. Two days and one night of fighting resulted in 20,000 casualties and prisoners. This number is actually very high."
After the night attack started, Jieli ran away, and the Turks began to disperse. Basically, there was no direct fighting, they were all running and chasing. The Turks basically all rode horses, but the Tang coalition's cavalry was limited, so the results were not good.
many.
If the Turks hadn't dispersed too quickly, and some of the Turks' troops had lost their way in the dark and were surrounded by infantry, the result would not have been so great.
