The scene in front of him suddenly reminded Li Kuan that when he left home, Li Mu once gave him and many young children in the family - of course, this "young" is relative to Li Mu, in fact, Li Kuan's age is not
Too small - that's what I said.
The old man leaned on the easy chair that Li Xunchen ordered the Ministry of Works to customize. While shaking it gently, he said calmly: "The wind and clouds are turbulent, but our generation has declined. You should follow this trend and follow it."
.”
Li Kuan looked forward.
The sun has not yet risen from the distance, and now is the darkest and coldest moment before dawn. However, the jumping firelight still tears through the long-shrouded night, and the fluttering flags are fluttering in the howling wind. The Han soldiers are
Attacking forward, just like the rolling waves, anyone who attempts to block them wants to be smashed.
The old era has come to an end, and a vibrant new era is about to begin.
Li Kuan also drew out his horizontal sword and merged into the advancing queue.
————————-
Li Xingchen crossed Baigou at dawn, surrounded by Yulin cavalry and imperial guards. When he crossed the river, the battlefield on the north bank of Baigou had almost calmed down. Except for the medical team and the soldiers who caught up later.
In addition to starting to clean up the battlefield, the other units participating in the war have gradually moved to rest.
According to the confessions of the captured prisoners, the Northern Zhou army began to retreat northward one after another yesterday evening. In order to prevent their whereabouts from being exposed, the retreat was tightly organized. The troops and horses of each unit moved northward bit by bit according to their stationed positions.
Therefore, the Han army did not discover any clues until midnight through the incoming scouts, and by that time, most of the Northern Zhou army had already retreated.
The reason why the Zhou people were able to proceed so step by step was because Yu Wenxian decisively left almost half of the armored cavalry behind at the gate of the village. The protection of the armored cavalry undoubtedly gave the soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty a reassurance. The most powerful,
The most elite troops are still protecting you at the rear, what else do you have to fear?
But it is a pity that because the Han army discovered the whereabouts of the Zhou army in time, the Northern Zhou army in the trench, the armored cavalry left behind, and the thousands of elite infantry cavalry in the rear almost did not escape.
Even Li Xingchen had to admit that Chen Zhishen's reaction was indeed fast enough. After warning from the front, this guy immediately pressed forward with the entire army, forcing the Northern Zhou armored cavalry to launch an attack. In the end, the entire army was annihilated, and most of the Northern Zhou infantry cavalry were also killed by the Han army.
Blocked in the camp.
In addition, there were thousands of Qingqi who were responsible for covering the outside. Xiao Shilian led the Yulin Cavalry to defeat them. A small number of them escaped, but at least six to seven hundred people were panicking and ran into the Han soldiers who had penetrated the camp.
Naturally, the army of musketeers was quickly wiped out by the red-eyed Han soldiers. Although the number of these cavalry could not be said to be small, they faced a similar number of musketeers. They were not interested in fighting and could not run away.
If they fall, they can't win the attack, so they naturally fall off their horses amidst the gunfire in the panic.
Of course, there were Mo Daoshou and the rest of the Han infantry around the musketeers, who were watching eagerly. After the musketeers gave these cavalry a head-on attack, they all rushed up. In addition, Xiao Shilian led the cavalry to kill from behind. These weeks
In the end, more than ten of the human cavalry were captured alive, which is pretty good.
Although Chen Zhishen and Xiao Shilian fought fiercely, almost forcing the Northern Zhou army to attack, it also showed that the Zhou people were not interested in fighting, and the defense was also in chaos, and there were even cases where armored cavalry rushed into the formation alone.
However, the two of them were not stupid. After devouring the elites behind the Zhou Dynasty, they did not trigger a large army to pursue them. They just let Yu Linqi's Qingqi and the other two groups of Qingqi catch up, creating a feeling of Han army.
The illusion behind you.
With Yu Wenxian's ability, it is not impossible to control the army at the right position and lay an ambush. Since he can make most of the Northern Zhou army withdraw so silently, he naturally has the ability to kill one.
Back carbine.
So just accept it when it's good.
In order to be able to capture this camp, the Han army paid a heavy price, especially when the enemy's armored cavalry charged into the formation, which was indeed a bit unexpected, and the timing of the armored cavalry's attack was also well chosen. It was when the battle suddenly broke out that the charge was
When the Han soldiers in front were still relatively scattered, the Han soldiers who originally thought that the enemies had run away never expected that the armored cavalry would suddenly appear. If the Zhou people had not dug trenches in advance, they in turn saved the Han soldiers.
I am afraid that not less than four or five hundred people will die under the armored cavalry alone.
If the Zhou people had originally ambush their infantry behind the stronghold wall, and waited until the Han soldiers were hiding in the trenches, then they would have killed and wounded them.
Unfortunately not.
It was precisely because of this that Xiao Shilian and Chen Zhishen concluded that the Zhou people really wanted to run away.
Li Xingchen stood in the open space where Li Kuan once stood.
You can see the scattered corpses of armored cavalry ahead. These corpses are intertwined with the corpses of Han soldiers. Most of them have been blown to pieces by thunder. It is impossible to tell who is who. If the clothes and armor of both sides are not different.
, I’m afraid I can’t even tell which side it belongs to.
This should be the last such a brutal battle, Li Xingchen thought to himself.
Yu Wenxian retreated into Yecheng, and there was really no way to retreat. As long as the Han army calmly surrounded and cut off the connection between Yecheng and Jinyang, then Li Xingchen believed that Yu Wenxian would make the right decision, let alone
Just because Yu Wenxian wants to fight stubbornly does not mean that everyone will follow him. Yu Wenzhao, for example, should be happy to open the door to the Han army.
Chen Zhishen had already strode over and knelt down on one knee: "I see your Majesty! The incident happened suddenly and the enemy was not fully accomplished. He caused the enemy to flee and captured only twenty-three out of ten. This is my crime!"
Li Xingchen stretched out his hand to lift him up: "If it weren't for Ai Qing's keenness, I'm afraid that 20-30% of them wouldn't be there. From here, I'm afraid I can only see an empty camp."
"I'm ashamed." Chen Zhishen still looked guilty and annoyed.
If I could have sent people earlier to approach the enemy's trenches to find out what was going on, I should have been able to capture more enemies.
"Who is the coach of the Zhou Dynasty?" Li Xingchen asked curiously.
"According to the prisoners' confessions, it was the Zhou Dynasty Wang Yuwenzhi of Qinghe County who personally led the army to break up the rear. However, Yuwenzhi was not captured and should have escaped with his Qingqi." Chen Zhishen said hurriedly, "While cleaning the battlefield, we encountered and
Cui Shiji, a famous scholar from Qinghe who will not be able to retreat with the army in the future, has now been invited to rest in the main tent."
"Cui Shiji?" Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows.
Of course Li Xingchen knew about this unlucky guy.
As the head of the Cui family in Qinghe, he has almost become Yu Wenxian's cash machine.
The kind where the knife is placed on the neck and you can withdraw money for free.
Li Xingchen was a little surprised that he would be here.
