Since the rise of the Turks, they have faced few opponents. At that time, the Northern Zhou Dynasty even had to be humble to the Turks in order to gain support from the Turks. Later, Yu Wenyong finally dealt with the Turks after taking over the Northern Qi Dynasty.
And let the Turks take advantage of it like shit. In recent years, due to the civil strife in the north, they have suddenly become stronger.
The cities and towns in the north were already empty. Most of the people were plundered and headed north. The northern military towns once established in the Northern Wei Dynasty even became a place for Turks to herd horses. For any general, this is nothing less than a kind of
shame.
Especially Yu Yi, who was in the northwest, while dealing with the Han people, did not want to think about one day being able to deal with the Turks. Going deep into the grasslands and sealing the wolves in Xu was the dream of many Han generals, and the Han nation was
The foreigners from the north have ruled for three hundred years, and there has not been such an exciting war for three hundred years.
So Yu Yi was lamenting the battlefield in front of him, but he was also lamenting himself, lamenting that in the past three hundred years, he might have had the opportunity to become a hero like Huo Qubing and Dou Xian.
They were all blown away by the rain and wind!
So now the glory can fall on my head impartially.
Of course, most of them belong to the young people in front of us, these young people who are destined to support this sky in the future.
He is getting old after all... Thinking of this, Yu Yi looked at Yu Xi, Hou Mi and others in front of him, and then looked at Xu Deyan, feeling an unspeakable emotion.
"How shameless!" Yu Xi and Hou Mi said hurriedly.
"You're welcome. Since the old general said yes, you can just accept it with peace of mind." Xu Deyan said with a smile, "And now is not the time to be humble. This battle is not over yet, and the Turk Ye Hu is still asking
Run forward."
"I'll catch up soon!" the two men said quickly, turning their horses' heads, and the cavalry under their command caught up with them, chasing them all the way.
Xu Deyan raised his eyebrows and looked at the battle situation in front of him. The more than a thousand Turkic cavalry who had been directly separated from the main force at the beginning had been completely submerged. The Han soldiers who joined the army did not care about what organization they belonged to, and almost risked their lives to attack them.
At this time, everything on the battlefield was in chaos, especially since Hou Mi and Yu Xi had previously deployed many generals and asked them to lead their own manpower to rescue the Han slaves, so many soldiers in the army did not have a leader.
The generals in the army also grabbed the units they could gather and charged forward directly. In fact, large flags were placed at the front. These generals also knew in which direction they should charge.
The overwhelming defeat was perhaps the biggest feeling of the Turks at this time.
Layers of Turkic cavalry retreated to cover the main force, and there was actually only one outcome waiting for them. The soldiers of the Han family who had already been killed would immediately put swords and guns into their chests.
However, the flag of the Turkic Yehu was still flying. After all, they were cavalry and their movements must be faster than those of the Han infantry. Therefore, although the Turkic cavalry continued to spread out to cover, the group was still moving as far west as possible.
"The Turks want to cross the river directly?" Xu Deyan frowned.
"It's not impossible. Now that the river is frozen, we can cross it." Yu Yi said in a deep voice, "The battle situation is like this, do they have any other options? It seems that they have a lot of people, but under our attack from the north and the south,
, coupled with the fact that it has been an outright defeat, the wolves on the prairie are now nothing more than lost dogs.”
"But I'm afraid we can't catch up now." Xu Deyan also saw the changes in the situation on the battlefield. The Han army was advancing very fast, but the soldiers were just holding their breath after all. If they continued to move forward, it would have a negative impact on people's physical strength.
It consumes a lot of energy and causes real damage to the body itself, and even so, the distance between the two parties is getting farther and farther.
Seeing that Turk Yehu had arrived at the river, he had just broken out of the camp.
"Ming Jin, please withdraw your troops." Yu Yi said calmly, "We have achieved an out-and-out victory."
Xu Deyan obviously had this intention. As a general, he must be very careful. Without knowing what will happen next, the army cannot be too scattered or use up all its strength.
If you can't catch up, you have to face reality.
Ming Jin's voice suddenly sounded, breaking the somewhat monotonous roars and wind sounds on the battlefield.
The rapidly advancing tide finally slowed down, the flags fluttering in the wind began to roll back, and the soldiers gradually retreated. The Turks seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, at this time, they did not have the courage to fight again, so they just slowed down.
The speed relies on the formation of the river, ready to cross the river at any time.
Looking at the flames lighting up the darkness around him, and at the cattle, sheep and figures running around on the ground, Xu Deyan closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.
In any case, this battle finally ended with a great victory for the Han army.
————————-
It was already half an hour later when Cao Zhong came to support with five thousand resting soldiers. At this time, the Turkic Ye Huashibu had already crossed the river. Calculating, there should be five or six thousand cavalry beside him.
.
This cavalry should have no courage to return to the battlefield, but it is already a force that cannot be ignored in the northwest. Especially the Turks who have completely lost everything will undoubtedly become more violent and unscrupulous. In order to survive, they may
Use every possible means.
But at least the main force of the Turks has been wiped out, and the Turks also left behind a large number of chariots, horses, cattle, sheep, gold, silver and jewelry. More importantly, there are as many as 30,000 to 40,000 Han slaves, and among them
Most of them are young adults, which means they are a population supplement that cannot be ignored. The role of these people in the already devastated northwest can be imagined.
Not to mention there are a large number of Turkic prisoners, and no one intends to be merciful to them. Letting them experience the treatment of Han slaves seems to be a good choice.
In the struggle between the grassland peoples and the Chinese peoples, there has never been any so-called mercy, only that you will die or I will live.
Therefore, it can be said that this battle was quite fruitful, at least worthy of the consumption of money and food, and worthy of the bloody battle of so many soldiers.
Of course, some people are satisfied while others are dissatisfied. The temporary tent built by the Chinese army looked a bit crude. The curtain of the tent was suddenly opened, and the cold wind suddenly swept in. Yu Xi was holding his helmet, and there were fine lines on his armor.
The ice was dense, but at this time the young general looked very temperamental, looking at the people in the tent with a treacherous expression:
"Why the order to withdraw troops?! Who gave the order?!"
"Don't you even greet your superior when you see him?!" Yu Yi slapped the table.
Of course, Yu Xi did not dare to yell at her father, and hurriedly said: "Commander Father, why do you need to withdraw your troops? We are obviously about to catch up with the Turks!"
"This is my order, do you have any objection?!" Yu Yi snorted. (To be continued)
