Beside the fire pit, figures in twos and threes came from different places. The soldiers held hands tirelessly and sang songs to celebrate this victory that was actually not expected by them.
This song spread throughout the camp, and soon the soldiers began to sing in unison, starting from "No Clothes" to the current military song of the Han Dynasty.
Hearing the singing, the Han cavalry who gathered their horses outside the camp also smiled.
In today's battle, they are also the heroes. Otherwise, if Li Jing could not be saved, Yu Wenchun would push him back, so they are not honored.
The snow has gradually dissipated, and a sheet of silver has covered the blood and fire just now.
Li Jing looked at the dark pile of white wolves not far away. The ancestors of China had blessed them with such a great victory.
However, when the singing reached the water bank, Yu Wenchun was not in such a good mood when he heard the singing. From Bailangdui to the south, Yu Wenchun had already run about a mile away, and he could already see the frozen water in front of him.
At this time, Yu Wenchun's heart was undoubtedly heavy.
Half a day ago, he and his soldiers crossed the water bravely, but now he was as panic-stricken as a lost dog. It was really God's will.
The singing voice coming from behind made Yu Wenchun feel even more regretful.
It was a mistake of my own that led to such a disastrous failure.
When it comes to responsibility, I can't escape it.
Looking at the only two to three thousand cavalry left around him now, it means that he has lost at least 70 to 80% of his men. Even if he can gather the scattered troops in the future, his morale has been severely damaged.
How can I have the face to meet His Majesty?
This almost destroyed half of the Xianbei cavalry here.
But now Yu Wenchun doesn't care about that much anymore, so he will cross the river first.
The Northern Zhou cavalry hurriedly crossed the water.
But Yu Xi did not continue the pursuit. He had already seen the flashing torches on the other side of the river. Apparently, the defenders of Sangqian County of the Northern Zhou Dynasty who had received the news had rushed over to support.
Sangqian County is the first county after leaving Yanmen, and it is also an important supply point for soldiers and horses on Yuwenchun South Road this time. There are already four to five thousand infantry stationed, plus hundreds of cavalry, even if the Han Dynasty
If the army really comes to cover them up, it is not without the strength to fight. At this time, there should be more than one or two thousand infantry coming to rescue. If they join forces with Yuwen Chun, they may not necessarily be able to take advantage, especially if they have to
After crossing the water, the cavalry naturally had no advantage on the ice. They were almost beaten by the enemy's crossbowmen.
Therefore, Yu Xishi reined in his horse and watched Yu Wenchun cross the water and then retreat.
"Prince Chen, go slowly!" Yu Xi took a breath and shouted.
The soldiers under his command also shouted: "King Chen, move slowly!"
Yu Wenchun, who had already reached the ice at this time, stumbled and almost slipped. Fortunately, the bodyguard beside him pulled him in time, otherwise the dignified King Chen would have really lost face tonight.
Everything is clean.
"Sooner or later I will have to settle accounts with you!" Yu Wenchun secretly made up his mind.
Yu Xi also narrowed his eyes at this time.
Although Yu Wenchun was defeated, the Northern Zhou Dynasty did not have no other troops that could be mobilized on the south road, and it was very likely that they would make a comeback. In addition, the Zhou army on the east road should be arriving soon.
The next situation will probably be even more difficult to deal with.
However, Li Jing's appearance gave Yu Xi confidence.
It is well known that Niu Hong, Han Qinhu's military advisor, is not very reliable. Even Niu Hong often said so. Therefore, the appearance of Li Jing is tantamount to making up for this shortcoming, giving Han Qinhu's troops more
room for maneuver.
His Majesty only sent one man and five hundred musketeers to completely break the deadlock.
It is His Majesty after all.
Yu Xi sighed with emotion.
A ray of dawn fell on the top of Pingcheng.
Last night's snow shone with white light.
Han Qinhu was fully clothed and walked on the top of the city to watch the Han soldiers training in the school grounds below the city and on the city walls.
A battle could break out at any time, especially if Yu Xi and Li Jing had failed last night. Now Yu Wenchun must be chasing the defeated troops north. In order to cover the Han army's retreat, the battle would be very cruel from the beginning.
It was not an appropriate decision to face the cavalry in the wilderness outside Pingcheng, but when the time came, Han Qinhu had no choice.
Niu Hong didn't know when he also walked to the top of the city.
This guy is in charge of civil affairs and usually does not interfere with military matters. Now he seems worried. After all, the victory of last night's battle will affect the entire Pingcheng war.
A figure appeared on the horizon, and quickly rushed into the city.
The moment the messenger entered the city, he shouted loudly: "Great victory, destroy Yu Wenchun!"
Han Qinhu held onto the city wall, feeling a little dazed.
Ushi Hong, who was next to him, took out his ears to make sure he heard correctly.
After a brief period of silence, the city was drowned in cheers.
A great victory, really a great victory!
The Xianbei Cavalry was like a dark cloud hanging over everyone's mind, and now the Xianbei Cavalry was defeated! And since it can be called a great victory, it means that they were not only defeated, but must have been completely defeated.
Niu Hong laughed.
And Han Qinhu took a breath.
This kid Li Jing did not disappoint him after all.
The messenger rushed to the top of the city in three steps and two steps at a time. His steps were a little wobbly. It was obvious that he was tired from riding a long distance, but the look on his face was excited. He handed the battle report in his hand to Han Qinhu.
, he said loudly:
"The Supervisory Army and General Qiaoqi (Yu Xi) ordered their subordinates to convey the message to the general. Fortunately, they did not disobey their orders!"
Han Qinhu laughed, took the battle report, glanced at it roughly, and felt the last stone in his heart fell to the ground. He handed the battle report to Niu Hong and said, "Okay, okay!"
Niu Hong said directly: "The biggest threat now is Dugu Yongye."
"Without the Xianbei cavalry, Dugu Yongye's place is dominated by infantry. He can no longer decide whether to advance or retreat in this battle." Han Qinhu turned his eyes to the east. According to the news from the sentry cavalry, Dugu Yongye
By this time, we should have advanced to a position about two hundred miles away from Pingcheng, and the battle will only take place in the next few days.
Without the Xianbei cavalry, Dugu Yongye would no longer have the initiative on the battlefield.
At this time, Han Qinhu wanted to see what Dugu Yongye's expression would be like after receiving the news.
"Will Dugu Yongye retreat?" Niu Hong asked curiously.
If he were Dugu Yongye, he would have chosen to withdraw his troops in this situation.
Han Qinhu shook his head: "Since Dugu Yongye is a lone wolf, the possibility of retreat is not high. For him, garrisoning in Youzhou is actually no different from being exiled. Now he is finally
If you have a chance to stand up, you will never retreat so hastily. You will at least compete with us first.
If he can't win, it doesn't matter. Unless he loses too badly, Yu Wenchun will take the blame and it won't be his turn to take the blame. If he is lucky enough to win, even if he gains a short-term advantage, then it will be
The highlight on his resume. Now this lone wolf needs such a highlight to prove himself."
