Shen Tang didn't have a very good impression of the Xixia Army, and leaving some prisoners behind had no meaning at all except taking up their strength!
There is no room for mercy on the battlefield. Therefore, even if these thousands of Xixia troops have little resistance, Shen Tang still has no mercy! On the battlefield, destroying the enemy's effective forces as much as possible is the most effective in itself means.
The black sky gradually receded, and the battle that lasted for an hour and a half gradually subsided as no one could hold anything back.
Shen Tang stood in the center of the battlefield and let out a breath. Within his sight, there were corpses everywhere, flames all over the ground, and endless screams! Except for the initial chaos, some Xixia people reacted faster The soldiers fled directly, and nearly 30,000 troops died in the military tent within a radius of ten miles. I am afraid that the commander-in-chief of the Xixia Army never thought that this big tent would become their tomb!
There is not much emotion in Shen Tang's heart. Maybe there is, but not much. In such troubled times, the so-called emotion and kindness are just the most meaningless things. Wherever the swords are directed, the flames of war are raging. In fact, the only The purpose of life is just to survive. It’s the same for everyone, and it’s the same for every country. It’s the same.
In fact, when did the so-called war have the distinction between right and wrong? The so-called right and wrong are just the endings written by the victor! Victory leads to life, defeat leads to death. This is the law of war and also It is a reality that every country needs to face. Even the war between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom was actually the same. For the Song Dynasty, this war was naturally wrong. However, for the Liao Kingdom Or for the Kingdom of Jin, this is just a way for them to expand their power and strength, so what's wrong with it?
Which country's hero is not the executioner in the eyes of the enemy's people? It's just that their positions are different and their interests are different. Just like Shen Tang, in the battle of Lingbi and the war in front of him, he is definitely the one who deserves a thousand cuts. The devil and executioner. However, to his own people, Shen Tang is an out-and-out hero...
"Sir, all enemies have been killed!"
Yi Ciduo, Teng Wu and others eliminated the last resistance force, and then everyone returned to Shen Tang's side.
"Okay, Balumu and Tu Khan, you lead the people to clean the battlefield. Yi Ciduo, you cooperate with Teng Wu, Cheng Yuhu will replace all the horses they lost, and equip one person with two horses. Huilan Tu, you immediately Return to the city and prepare three days of food and fodder for the 20,000 troops as soon as possible." Shen Tang ordered in turn, and everyone present also followed the order and left.
No one, whether Yi Ciduo or others, objected to equipping Cheng Yuhu and others with horses, or even to the standard of two horses for one person. In this battle, the Song and Jin sides suffered very little losses. The losses were about three to four thousand men, and the Jin soldiers lost more than two thousand men. However, their gains were huge. Because of the dark night raid, the Xixia army had no time to make any preparations, so when they were defeated , not only left behind a large amount of supplies, but also tens of thousands of war horses.
Not to mention other relationships, not to mention Cheng Yuhu and others coming to help, even if it is divided according to normal rules, it is natural for them to take away enough loot...
Yi Ciduo and three others led their people to the stables of the Xixia Army. Yi Ciduo raised his hands and said to Cheng Yuhu and his two men: "Two of you, my subordinates are very familiar with horses. Please wait here while I ask them to take care of them."
Pick out all the good horses!"
Cheng Yuhu and the two did not refuse. The grassland people are indeed much more familiar with horses than the Central Plains people.
Yi Ciduo gave instructions behind him, and then, many people entered the stable...
"Thank you two generals for coming to help today!" Yi Ciduo said solemnly.
Teng Wu looked at Yi Ciduo and said calmly, "We are your own soldiers, so we will naturally obey your orders!"
Hearing this, Yi Ciduo secretly thought that it was just as he had guessed. These were Master Shen's private soldiers. If they were the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, even if Master Shen would not use them, I am afraid that he would never obey him happily.
Order to cooperate with the enemy.
"If we meet again in the future, Yi Ciduo will definitely repay the kindness of helping each other this time!" Yi Ciduo said solemnly.
On the side, Cheng Yuhu sneered and said, "No need! We are enemies to you. If we meet on the battlefield, unless it is an order from your lord, otherwise, we should try our best to kill you all. That is what we should do.
matter."
Regarding Cheng Yuhu's words, Yi Ciduo not only did not refute, but also agreed with them. The cooperation between the two forces is based on the same interests. Cooperating now does not mean that there will be mercy in the future. Not to mention these people, even if
Facing Shen Tang, as long as you are in the Kingdom of Jin
, whether it is him or Huilan Tu and others, they are absolutely respectful to Shen Tang, and they can even sacrifice their lives for Shen Tang. However, if it is a battle between Song and Jin Dynasties, even if the opponent is Shen Tang, they will never
Don't hold anything back. This is the responsibility and attitude of a soldier!
Jin Bing was naturally very good at selecting horses. After only half an hour, nearly 30,000 war horses were selected by them. Cheng Yuhu and the two men knew that these horses were far better than what they and others were sitting on without even looking at them.
These horses are much better.
In the past, in order to improve their combat power and make them suitable for mobile combat, Teng Wu and Cheng Yuhu spent almost all their money and sold iron and steel to gather the current 20,000 horses.
However, except for a few normal war horses, most of the 20,000 horses are rogue horses and are full of bad horses. Even so, not only them, but also Dark Night Pavilion and the Shao family's channels in the North.
It took an unimaginable price and a huge amount of money to just scrape it together.
But these are the war horses of the Xixia people, and they are selected from the best. How can they be compared to their original horses?
"Are the two generals satisfied with these war horses?" Yi Ciduo asked.
"Thank you!" Teng Wu bowed his hand.
Yi Ciduo smiled and said, "At least, now we are all Lord Shen's subordinates, so there is no need to be polite. There is no shortage of war horses in our camp. With these nearly 30,000 war horses in your hands, there should be
It’s very useful. You two can just take them all..."
With nearly 30,000 war horses, plus the original war horses, the two men under Teng and Wu almost reached the level of luxury of one person and three horses. This kind of wealth is definitely among the top among all Song armies!
