Chapter 74: The Fall of the Turks (Subscription Requested)

More than 1,000 cavalry came out of the city, and Li Yan also rode on his war horse and charged at the forefront of the team.

At this moment, this cavalry, which had been recuperating for many days, turned into spears that cut through the rear of the enemy, and plunged deep into the retreating array of the Turks.

The army and cavalry flanked back and forth, and launched a comprehensive encirclement and suppression of the Turks!

"Kill!"

The cavalry with Li Yan as the tip of the spear constantly interspersed in the Turkic array, and soon broke up the Turkic formation.

However, while the Tang army inflicted devastating casualties on the Turks, the counterattack of the Turks on the verge of death also caused the Tang army to suffer the largest casualties since the beginning of the war.

The many cavalry led by Li Yan were the first to bear the brunt of this, and they cut into the battlefield from the rear and penetrated deep into the enemy's formation, and they were undoubtedly under the greatest pressure.

In just a few minutes, dozens of casualties occurred in the cavalry ranks, directly exceeding the total number of battle losses since the beginning of the battle.

"Don't fall in love with the war, divide the battlefield!"

Li Yan was well aware of the current casualties, but there was nothing he could do.

No matter how huge the advantage of the war in the cold weapon era was, casualties could no longer be avoided, and all Li Yan could do was to kill a few more Turks when he opened the way, so that the pressure on the rear would be a little less.

But no matter how hard Li Yan fought hard, the cavalry team, which originally numbered 1,200, was quickly reduced to less than 1,000 people.

On the other hand, the formation of the Turkic army was seriously divided, and it was encircled and killed by the Tang army.

The battle loss ratio between the Tang army and the Turks was basically maintained at about one to five, which was unprecedented in the war between the Han and the steppe people.

"Kill!"

The Tang army and the Turkic army continued to fight.

The strategic command in the general direction has basically lost its significance in the current confrontation, and the current battle is all about the morale and will of both sides.

It is clear that in this regard, the Don army completely destroyed the Turks.

"It's over, it's all over......"

"The leader is dead, run!"

"Hurry up and run, you will die if you are caught by the Tang Army!"

The two sides fought for about half an hour, and the Turks were already in a rout.

Since most of the Tang army was foot soldiers, a small number of Turks managed to break through the siege and fled frantically all the way to Xue Yantuo in the west.

But most of the Turks either died in the fighting, or simply gave up resistance.

What's more, they secretly got some blood stains, and then fell on the spot and pretended to be dead......

Another half an hour passed, and the sound of fighting on the battlefield gradually stopped, and this battle to destroy the country was nearing its end.

Li Yan also stopped fighting and successfully reconciled with Cheng Yanjin.

"Virtuous ...... Marshal, are you alright? You hurt ......."

The moment Cheng Yanjin saw Li Yan, his heart was about to reach his throat.

He had long expected that Li Yan would be covered in blood, but he saw Li Yan's left arm that had lost his arm armor and Li Yan's wound that stretched from his elbow to his wrist under the blood stain on this body.

"It's okay, the bleeding has stopped."

Li Yanyuma came to Cheng Yanjin's side, he looked at his wound twice, and replied to Cheng Yanjin.

Although Li Yan's wound is still very painful now, under his terrifying physique, the wound that is tens of centimeters long has stopped bleeding, and Li Yan can even feel that under the pain, the wound is still a little itchy, which is clearly a sign that the body is recovering itself.

"This ...... Are you really okay? ”

Cheng Yanjin was still very worried, as a perennial fighter, he naturally knew what such a long and deep wound meant.

There are many people on the battlefield who have suffered such knife wounds, and the lucky ones may heal themselves, but the unlucky ones are the wounds that continue to rot and bleed pus, and finally have to cut off their arms to survive.

Therefore, Cheng Yanjin was very worried that there would be problems with Li Yan's arm.

"It's okay, I can't die."

Li Yan's face was calm, he had never considered the problem of infection and inflammation.

For Li Yan's physique, infection and inflammation are basically impossible.

As for those bacteria and viruses that infect wounds, I am afraid that they will be completely killed by the group of highly active white blood cells in Li Yan's body as soon as they enter the bloodstream, and will never give any chance for bacteria and viruses that can harm the human body to make waves.

"Okay."

Hearing Li Yan say this, Cheng Yanjin had no choice but to withdraw his worried gaze.

"Clean up the battlefield, even if those Turks die, remember to give another knife, don't give those Turks who pretend to be dead a chance to kill back."

Li Yan saw that the war was almost over, so he issued a military order to finish.

"Yes."

Li Yan's order was conveyed through the cavalry.

Cheng Yanjin just listened silently on the side, Li Yan was the marshal of the Northern Expedition after all, and after the two sides met, it was natural for Li Yan to issue a military order.

When Cheng Yanjin heard Li Yan's order to make people pay attention to the knife, he nodded involuntarily.

This kind of thing is generally noticed by veterans, and after every war, when cleaning up the battlefield, there will always be soldiers who fall into the hands of the enemy who pretends to be dead, which is definitely the most regrettable way to die.

"General Cheng, let's go into the city to rest, and we will do something tomorrow, and then we will return to the court!"

Li Yan glanced at the north a few times and said something to Cheng Yanjin.

Cheng Yanjin heard this, paused for a moment, and then looked in the direction of Li Yan.

Further north of this place, there seems to be a body of water, and there is a mountain peak that has been remembered by the Han people for a long time......

"Good! Good! ”

Cheng Yanjin was in a trance for a while before he reacted, and Li Yan wanted to do something.

This is the most desired thing for all those who serve in the army.

After sighing a few words, Cheng Yanjin followed Li Yan's steps and entered the royal city of the Turks.

"Marshal, remember to put this one down, if he dies at that time, it will be difficult for us to give an account to His Majesty."

When Cheng Yanjin arrived at the city gate, he took a few glances at the Jieli Khan who was hanging on the city wall.

I saw that Jieli Khan's clothes were thin, and he seemed to have been temporarily grabbed from the bed.

Wearing such scarce clothes, blowing this cool grassland spring breeze, Jieli Khan was already shivering from the cold.

"I almost forgot ......"

Hearing Cheng Yanjin's words, Li Yan sounded the character of Jieli Khan.

It's been more than two hours since the war began, and I didn't expect this person's luck to be so good, he wasn't shot by a stray arrow, but simply shivered by the cold.

After that, Li Yan ordered someone to put down Jieli Khan and go back again, and a special person was responsible for guarding it.

About ten minutes later, Li Yan and Cheng Yanjin came to the palace and sat down.

"When is the marshal going to leave tomorrow?"

Cheng Yanjin seemed to have thought of something, and he was still a little excited.

"Wake up and go."

Li Yan replied.

"Have you ever written a memorial message?"

Cheng Yanjin still asked in spirit.

"Do you want a sacrifice?"

Li Yan was a little confused, he was an otaku in his previous life, and he only knew that there was a wolf seal, but he didn't know the process of doing this......

“……”

Cheng Yanjin was silent for a moment, and then hurriedly spoke.

"Don't worry, marshal, although I Lao Cheng is a martial artist, it's not a big problem to write a sacrificial text, just leave it to the old man!"

Cheng bites the gold and takes care of it, making it clear that he is thinking carefully.

"Tsk, this is the first time that the Tang Dynasty conquered Mobei, sealed the wolf Juxu, and the sacrificial text came from my hand, how can this be done to let the old man leave a name in history......

Cheng Yanjin thought to himself.
