Verses 588 and 589 Hengyang ends, and the old department surrenders (10,000-character chapter)
Li Luo looked at the unruly King of Yunnan and Timur, and couldn't help but show a smile.
The two armies faced off in Hengyang for a month, and today he finally captured Timur.
The Jurchen general Li Ting, the Mongolian general Bo Luohuan and others were also captured. Even the Great Lama Jie Duosi, the teacher of the king of Yunnan, did not escape.
"First Timur, are you convicted?" Li Luo restrained his smile and said, "You came all the way to the march, conniving at your subordinates to burn, kill, loot, and poison all ethnic groups, can you think of today?" β
Timur also raised his head and laughed: "Li Luo, you ungrateful traitor, what qualifications do you have to ask the king of sin?" Since the king was defeated and captured, he did not want to live. Even the bravest warrior can be bitten to death by a poisonous snake, and the most clever hunter can be pierced by the fangs of a wild boar. β
This proud man scolded Li Luo for being a poisonous snake and a wild boar.
"Good." Li Luo was not angry at all, he took off a delicate and gorgeous dagger from his waist, "This is a gift from your grandfather, Xue Chan Khan. He gave the widow a good horse, a widow sword, and a widow official. But the widow gave him victory in Japan, Annam and Cham! β
"Though you are guilty, the widow will not kill you. But..."Li Luo pointed at Wen Tianxiang, "You should know Mr. Wenshan, right?" His wife and daughter are still suffering in your royal palace. The widow wants to use you in exchange for Mr. Wen's family. The widow believes that your Zuhan will agree. β
"The king..."Wen Tianxiang was very surprised, he never imagined that the king would exchange the prince of the Yuan court for his family.
Compared with the king of Yunnan, his wife and daughter are far inferior in status. In exchange for his wife and daughter with the king of Yunnan, the king must have suffered a loss, but the king was willing to exchange.
Wen Tianxiang was a little excited, and he was very moved in his heart, and he did not harden his heart to object. He really couldn't bear to let his wife and daughter suffer in the Mengyuan Palace, and he also knew Li Luo's character, since he proposed an exchange, he would not change his mind.
Timur sneered: "Li Luo, you have to think about it, are you really willing to exchange this king for a few lowly Han girls?" This king reminds you first, if you let this king go back, this king will meet you on the battlefield. β
"Pay attention to your words, the Han girl is more noble than you barbarian, and it is you who is despicable." Li Luo said coldly.
"What if you go back and continue to fight against the widow? We Han people have a great hero named Zhuge Liang, who once captured the barbarian leader seven times and killed seven times, is that just mercy? That's because if he can capture the opponent the first time, he can capture the second time. β
"The widow can exchange with your grandfather and let you go back. But the widow also reminds you not to go against the widow again, you are not weighty enough. The widow gives you a suggestion. β
Li Luo pointed to the west, "Go all the way west, or go west and further south, there are a lot of whites and blacks there." They can be your slaves. β
"Conquer them, occupy their land, become their masters. This is the true mission that the Immortal Heaven has entrusted to your Mongol army. Li Luo said seriously.
Bo Luohuan asked, "Li Luo, you have said this more than once. I, Bo Luohuan, want to know, why are you doing this? β
Li Luo smiled: "Why? Because you should not be without land. But you can't touch the land of our Central Plains Huaxia, it is the land of the descendants of Yan and Huang. So, you have to go to new places to conquer. β
"Even in a few hundred years, the widow believes that the races in this world are not equal. Some are noble because of hard work and wisdom, and some are low because of laziness and greed, which is a fact that is difficult to change. The industrious and wise should not be conquered, nor can they be conquered. The lazy and greedy can, and they are born with a master. β
"Your Genghis Khan is right, his main focus is on the westward expedition. But your Zu Khan was wrong, he wanted to conquer the Central Plains, and this is where he Xue Chan Khan was inferior to Genghis Khan. If your Zu Khan had not conquered the Central Plains back then, but had been bent on conquering the west, then you would not have been divided, and you would have more land, real slaves. β
Although he captured the king of Yunnan, Li Luo didn't care about him at all. Is he dead or alive, and what can he change? The benefit of killing him is nothing more than to inspire people, and there are not too many benefits. It might as well be used to exchange for Wen Tianxiang's family.
This can not only make Wen Tianxiang and other courtiers more loyal, but also gain a lot of good reputation and win tens of millions of likes.
It seems to be a loss, but it is actually a big profit. When did he Li Luo ever trade at a loss?
The king of Yunnan snorted coldly: "You just want Dayuan to take the initiative to withdraw from the Central Plains and give the world to you." Hmph, that's impossible. If you have the ability, come and get it. β
"If you have the ability to capture this king for the second time, this king will swear to go west."
"Hahaha!" Li Luo laughed, "Okay, then it's a word." If you are captured again by the widows, go to the west honestly. β
Li Luo's bearing, so that Timur and Bo Luohuan also had to admire a little.
Regardless of the position, this former Yue Guogong, Morgen Batu, does have the courage and belly of a great hero. It's a terrible enemy, and a respectable one.
Bo Luohuan even saw the shadow of the Great Khan in Li Luo.
But Li Ting's reaction was different. He had read the Confucian classics, and his ideas were different from those of the Mongol magnates.
Li Ting stiffened his neck and said: "Li Luo, An Lushan's fate is your tomorrow!" You disloyal, unjust, and despicable villain, even if you are proud today, how many days can you be rampant? β
"Bold!" Du Lie pressed his knife and said angrily, "Insulting the king of the Tang Dynasty, you don't know how to die!" Li Ting, what is your face barking here? As a Jurchen, you recognize the thief as your father and the tiger as your pawn, and what do you say about disloyalty and injustice! Didn't you see that the Jurchens were about to be killed by the Tartars! β
Li Ting said without shame: "When I was born, the Jin Kingdom died, and I am a Yuan person!" What if I'm a Jurchen? I am a courtier of the Great Yuan, not of the Jin Kingdom. I Li Tingshu was taught, read the books of sages, and the sages did not teach me to be disloyal and unjust! β
"Li Luo, you are the official of Dayuan, and you have made Dayuan the lord, but you have created Dayuan's rebellion, this is disloyalty and rebellion! Don't say that you will be defeated sooner or later, even if you are lucky, it will be difficult for Zhao Zhao to escape infamy, at most Zhu Wen's disciples! β
"Presumptuous! That's it! Dare to be a widow with Zhu Wenjia! Li Luo finally got angry.
Everyone knows that Li Luo, as a descendant of Li Tang, hates Zhu Wen very much.
"Someone! Drag it out and behead it for public display! Li Luo said angrily.
Li Ting is so insulting, he must not be able to live. Otherwise, Li Luo's majesty would be damaged.
Several wolf-like warriors pounced, grabbed Li Ting and dragged him out.
Li Ting laughed: "Why be afraid of death!" Li Luo, I'm afraid that you will end up worse than me, not as good as me! β
Timur and Bo Luohuan sighed and watched Li Ting being dragged out and beheaded.
They are not afraid of death, but there is hope for life, and of course they don't want to die.
Li Luo looked at a red-clothed monk with a pale face again, "Isn't this Master Jieduosi?" You don't practice your great joy in Yunnan, a superordinate woman, why did you come to the army of the widows? Well? β
Jieduosi took a deep breath, "Amitabha, the old man is with the army, and he is here to transcend the undead. β
"I see." Li Luo nodded, "I heard that the master is in Yunnan, and he uses the beauties of various tribes to cultivate great joy and collect their human skins?" Aren't you afraid of the Buddha's sin? β
Jie Duosi's body trembled, sweating profusely on a cold day, and said with a forced smile: "King Tang misunderstood, Lao Qu is a monk, and he is kind to the Buddha, and he has this matter." β
Li Luo didn't bother to talk to this disgusting demon monk anymore, and waved his hand in disgust, "Peel off this evil monk and behead it for public display." β
Jie Duosi's face was so frightened when he heard this, he couldn't help but pounce and kneel down, "King Tang spares his life, the old man is wronged!" β
"You can't live! Go underground and overtake them! "Where will Li Luo spare his life?
This person and Yang Lian Zhenjia are a raccoon dog, completely different from a real monk like Ba Sipa, and he is not wronged when he dies a hundred times.
Several samurai stepped forward, grabbed the frightened and paralyzed Jieduosi, and dragged him out of the big tent.
Before Timur saw this person so soft, he also snorted coldly in disgust.
Li Luo asked Timur and others to be imprisoned, and only then did he begin to count the results of the battle and his own casualties.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At this moment, a fierce battle broke out at the source of the Spirit Canal not far away.
Chen Shuzhen, who had been ambushed here for a long time, finally waited for the Duan father and son to escape here.
The Tang Army's 5,000 firecrackers fired a volley, and the Duan infantry, which was already panicked, suddenly collapsed under heavy casualties.
The Tang army took the opportunity to kill from the mountains and forests, and the Duan infantry was defeated, and in a moment they died, surrendered, and fled.
However, to Chen Shuzhen's disappointment, he did not find Duan's father and son.
It turned out that the cunning Duan father and son handed over the large army to the generals after escaping from the camp to lure away the pursuers. Their father and son only led 10,000 soldiers and horses and chose another path.
Giving up the army of 40,000 finally got their father and son to escape.
Chen Shuzhen sent people to pursue Duan's father and son, but Duan's father and son had already fled into Niutou Mountain, where could they catch up?
Chen Shuzhen seized a large number of weapons and armor, and pressed more than 10,000 prisoners back to restore his life.
"The king, the ministers are incompetent, so the Duan father and son escaped. The minister did not expect that they would divide the army. Chen Shuzhen pleaded guilty.
Li Luo shook his head indifferently, "It's not your fault. The widow had said before that he might not be able to capture Duan's father and son. To be able to annihilate their main force is a credit. β
The Duan father and son are very cunning and will definitely scatter and escape. Once you enter the forest, it is very difficult to catch. So Li Luo didn't have much hope of capturing them.
He doesn't care about the king of Yunnan, he still cares about Duan's father and son? Even if they ran back to restore Dali, Li Luo would not take it seriously, but would be desperate.
Why?
Because only when Dali recovers the country, will the Tusi forces in Yunnan be gathered, so that the Tang army can annihilate the Tusi force in the name of war, and lay the foundation for the future reform of the land and return to the stream.
When the Tusi's forces are constantly drawn and consumed by the Duan clan, they will not be able to secretly resist the change of land and return to the stream.
Therefore, even if the Duan father and son are captured, Li Luo will let the two go back.
"The king, the statistics are out, please take a look." Marching Sima joined the army and Ma Zhiyuan, handing over a booklet with ink not dry.
Li Luo looked at it, happy and sad in his heart.
In this war of annihilation, the coalition forces suffered more than 14,000 casualties. More than 6,000 of them were Tang troops. Coupled with the casualties some time ago, the total casualties in the Battle of Qiyang reached 80,000.
The annihilation of the 150,000 yuan army at the cost of 80,000 casualties was really a great victory. But the casualties of the Tang army alone reached 40,000, of which 20,000 were killed.
Such a large loss is unprecedented.
150,000 catties of gunpowder are almost consumed. Fortunately, the second batch of Haidong gunpowder has been transported to Hengzhou City.
Although the losses of soldiers and horses are not small, they can be captured even more. Li Luo looked at the long list of seizures and couldn't help but show joy.
As soon as the man was happy, he simply handed the booklet to Ma Zhiyuan and asked Ma Zhiyuan to read it out.
Ma Zhiyuan cleared his throat and said with joy on his face:
"The captured Yuan army was 28,000 people, almost all of them Dali soldiers. Seventy thousand military slaves were captured, all of them young and strong. The 500 women who were captured were all female slaves and concubines of the generals of the Yuan army. β
"Forty thousand collars of intact armor, 170,000 lunges and bows, and more than 5.7 million feathered arrows were seized. More than 210,000 knives and guns. β
"More than 68,000 intact war horses were seized. More than 350,000 stone of military rations..."
"Four hundred and thirty elephants, ninety-four thousand mules, horses, and oxen, more than twenty-two thousand four hundred pounds of gold, and more than thirty-one hundred and fifty-five thousand two hundred pounds of silver were seized..."
Well, the gold is starting to be counted by the pound.
So many materials, almost all of them were looted and collected by the king of Yunnan in the Bagan Kingdom.
Now it's all cheaper for the coalition.
Of course, so many things are not Li Luo's alone. Xiao Liang and Zhao Song also have to be assigned.
Not only Li Luo was overjoyed, but even Xiao Yan and Luo Yan were also overjoyed and difficult to hide.
"Let's go, go and see the capture of our army!" Li Luo and the others came out of the tent, and when they saw the herds of war horses and the piles of materials, they were very down-to-earth.
This seizure is really profitable.
"King, you can ask for less gold and silver, but you must ask for more elephants, mules, horses, and oxen." Wen Tianxiang whispered.
Li Luo understood what he meant. The Tang Kingdom is now in urgent need of cattle because it wants to resume production. If we could replenish so many animals, we would be able to relieve the pressure on the cattle.
Of course, mules and horses can also plow the fields. But can elephants?
Yes.
Moreover, because of the strength of the elephant, it can pull several sets of plows at the same time.
However, the battle is not over yet, and this is not the time to distribute the spoils.
"General, do we want to repair for a day and then attack the enemy in Yuxian?" Xiao Yan asked deliberately. He hoped that Li Luo would attack Yuxian immediately.
Because many of the enemies who entangled Yuxian were Liang troops.
"It's not trimmed." Li Luo made a decision without hesitation, "Send 50,000 troops to escort the captives and capture them back to Hengzhou, and the remaining soldiers and horses will directly attack Yuxian!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The mango loss in Yuxian County has been blocked in Camel Mountain for six or seven days.
On the left side of the mountain is a river, and on the right side is a mountain cliff, and only a few miles in the middle can be passed. But now he was blocked by the rebels, and the Yuxian thief army behind him also attacked from behind, making his army of more than 100,000 unable to return for a long time.
His forces were dominated by the Bagan tribal soldiers of the Golden Tooth King and the King of Jiandu. These soldiers were very tenacious at first, but they could not fight a protracted war.
These days, the morale of the tribal brutes is getting lower and lower.
Xiang Mango lost knowing that the king of Yunnan was besieged, and in an emergency, he repeatedly attacked Camel Mountain. Camel Mountain is not dangerous, but with coalition forces in front and behind, the Yuan army suffered tens of thousands of casualties, but it was unable to break through.
His strength had dropped to 80,000 and he lost a full 40,000.
Shen Peananut, who was guarding Camel Mountain, was also tired.
Most of the 20,000 Tang troops he commanded were Jiangxi recruits who had gone to the battlefield for the first time, and they had already reached their limit by guarding Huoshan for six or seven days to resist more than 100,000 yuan troops.
Of the 20,000 people, only 13,000 remained.
If it weren't for Dong Huchen of Yan County leading the Liang army to assist, he would never have been able to stop the Yuan army for so long. And Dong Huchen's Liang army only has 18,000 left.
The two armies together were only a little over 30,000, while the Yuan army still had 80,000.
Shen Huahua stood on the hill of Huoshan and looked south, feeling more and more anxious.
O king, the minister can only hold out for a day or two at most, and if he doesn't come to the reinforcements, the minister can't stop it.
"Brothers! The king will soon be leading a large army himself! Timur was also besieged by the king, and his destruction was imminent! As soon as Timur was defeated first, the Tartars of Hengyang were all defeated! We must defend to the death, wait for the king's army! Shen Huahua shouted from a high place.
Many recruits of the Tang Army who were sitting on the ground because of exhaustion stood up and shouted: "Fight to the death and never retreat!" Fight to the death! β
Under the mountain, Xiang Mango lost is also cheering up his subordinates.
He rode on his horse, bareheaded, with ugly pigtails exposed, and shouted with a whip:
"Warriors! Why is this little mountain gate blocking you for seven days? Why are you several times the enemy, but you can't destroy the enemy? Because you're not brave enough! β
He pointed to the camel mountain, "There are only 10,000 people there!" You have 80,000 more! Rush up, climb up, and destroy them! You will truly get the honor of being a warrior! Courage will bring the blessings of immortality, so that you can enjoy it endlessly! β
However, the Bagan tribesmen did not understand his Mongolian at all, and they saw that Xiang Mango was emotionally excited, but they stood there one by one in confusion.
What did the marshal say?
The Golden Tooth King stood up helplessly, replaced Xiang Mango, and said in brute language: "Sons! Brave, not afraid of jackals and poisonous snakes, not afraid of singing bad songs, not afraid of getting drunk, not afraid of meeting ghosts at night! β
"Show your courage more precious than gems and gold, and slay your enemies! Don't you see them standing on the hill with contempt and contempt in their eyes? β
"Trust me, boys, for you are as brave as a rhinoceros, as fierce as a tiger, and the enemy will be as useless as a fragile scarecrow! And the riches you get will fill your storehouses! β
"Woo woo-" The fighting spirit of the tribal barbarians was mobilized again. Xiang Mango took the opportunity to order an attack, and tens of thousands of barbarians rushed up the camel mountain with a scream.
"Kill the Tartar!" Shen Huahua personally led the samurai at the front, with rows of spears behind him and archers in the back, struggling to stop the Yuan army from rushing up.
There was a bloody storm on the hillside.
However, because this battlefield was not wide, the Yuan army could not suppress all the troops, and the only 10,000 cavalry could not be successful.
"Bang bang!"
"Boom!"
The only 1,000 firearms soldiers in the Shenhua army also fired firearms and artillery, killing and wounding many Bagan tribesmen. A few days ago, the firearms of the Tang army did scare the tribal soldiers, but when they slowly got used to it, they found that the enemy army did not have many firearms, and they became bolder.
The Liang army, which blocked the back road of the Yuan army, saw that the Yuan army attacked Huoshan again, and also attacked under the leadership of Dong Huchen, lined up a large array of spears, and slowly forced the back of the Yuan army, so that the Yuan army had to divide its troops to deal with the Liang army.
The 30,000 Tang and Liang coalition forces relied on their geographical advantages and a small number of firearms to fight again with the 80,000 yuan army.
The Yuan army attacked several times in a row, but still could not conquer Camel Mountain. But the Tang and Liang coalition forces fought very hard because their troops were too thin.
The area around the Camel Mountain defense line has been extremely miserable, and the defense line has been precarious several times, but it has been stabilized by samurai assault and firearm bombardment.
Xiang Mango lost his horse, looking at the camel mountain with a gloomy face, and his heart was extremely anxious.
In one day, be sure to capture the camel mountain!
But at this moment, suddenly an earth-shattering cry came from the south, accompanied by the neighing of war horses. At the same time, huge cheers erupted from the camel mountain.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
"The king is here!"
"Datang Wansheng!"
"Kill!"
The counterattack on the camel mountain suddenly became more violent, and many Tang army warriors led pikemen to take the initiative to attack, and the Yuan army that fought retreated again and again, until it retreated to the halfway slope.
Immediately afterwards, an order came from the hillside: "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! β
The Tang army gave way to both sides, leaving a gap more than half a mile wide. While the Yuan army was in shock, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded above, and then, first dozens of horses, then hundreds, the cavalry of the brigade swooped down.
More than 20,000 cavalry of the Tang Army finally arrived first.
Leading the cavalry were the Khitan general Yelu Zhongjie and the Jurchen general Shi Mo Huaide, as well as the party general Li Yi.
At this time, tens of thousands of infantry were covering the hillside, just in time to usher in the Tang Army's cavalry swooping like an iron stream.
"Boomβ"
Ten thousand horses galloped and took advantage of the momentum of the swooping to exert the power of the Tang army's iron cavalry to the limit, and hit the Yuan army's infantry team headlong.
"Boom!" With a bang, tens of thousands of cavalry collapsed under the huge impact. In an instant, I don't know how many Yuan army infantry died tragically under the horse's hooves and the Tang army's cavalry.
The cavalry of the Tang Army mainly fought on horseback, supplemented by cavalry shooting, so they were equipped with long weapons, with maces being the most. The Jurchen cavalry, in particular, was very fond of using maces.
Why? Because the mace is the most efficient at killing enemies on horses. Not like riding a gun. Riding a spear to assassinate a person, you have to pull out a spear, and before you can even pull it out, you are killed by the enemy.
The mace, on the other hand, is very powerful, and when it hits an enemy, it will quickly retract with elasticity and swing it continuously and rapidly.
Under the wielding of the mace of the Tang cavalry, a large number of Yuan infantry were killed, and many people either had their brains burst, or their bones and tendons were broken, and blood was sprayed wildly.
The tens of thousands of infantry troops, like a rag, were fiercely torn and torn apart by an eagle's claws.
At the same time, the defenders of Hushan Mountain also took the initiative to attack on all fronts, following the cavalry to dive and kill. And the Liang army of Dong Huchen in the back also boosted morale and took advantage of the situation to storm the back of the Yuan army.
The Yuan army suddenly collapsed completely. For a time, I don't know how many Bagan barbarians fled the battlefield and crashed like headless goshawks.
"It's over!"
Xiang Mango looked at this scene bitterly, where did he not know that the general trend had gone? He also had 10,000 cavalry, but at this time his cavalry did not accelerate at all, and in this narrow battlefield, there was no chance to move.
"Boom!" More than 20,000 Tang cavalry swooping down, like a scorching blade cutting through half of the butter, crashed headlong into the Yuan cavalry team below the mountain after destroying the Yuan infantry brigade.
The cavalry of the 10,000 Yuan Army, which did not have the speed of a horse, suddenly burst like a honeycomb.
Many war horses did not need to be controlled by their owners at all, so they took the hooves of their horses and ran away. The cavalry of the Yuan army did not have time to organize resistance, and fell into a desperate situation of being slaughtered one-sidedly.
The Mongolian cavalry was good at horse archery, and the horse combat was not as good as the cavalry of the Tang Army, plus there was no horse speed and the number was small, and the result could be imagined.
"Nayan, let's go!" Xiang Mango's own soldiers pounced on him, whipped him on the buttocks of his horse, and rushed to the Liang army behind with Xiang Mango lost, wanting to break through from Liang Jun.
"Kill!"
When the Liang army saw the complete collapse of the Yuan army, they rushed forward like chicken blood, where would they let go of the personal guard cavalry who lost Xiang Mango?
Hundreds of cavalry immediately drowned in the Liang army and were surrounded and killed by the Liang soldiers.
Poor Xiang Mango failed to break through and died at the hands of a Liang army pawn.
The Liang Jun's pawn cut off the lost head of Xiang Mango, and shouted excitedly with his pigtails: "The devil is dead!" The Adversary is dead! β
At this time, barbarian kings such as the King of the Golden Tooth and the King of Jiandu also died at the hands of the Tang army.
The Yuan army was defeated like a mountain, and it was impossible to clean it up.
In the end, only more than 1,000 cavalry escaped from the battlefield.
Under the encirclement and suppression of the coalition forces, the Bagan barbarians, who had lost their command, fell into a situation of being slaughtered by one side.
After half an hour, the battlefield calmed down a lot. Except for more than 30,000 people who abandoned their weapons and surrendered, the rest of the 80,000 troops were annihilated.
These more than 30,000 Bagan tribal captives will become slaves and serve hard labor for a long time.
The Yuan army of Yuxian County was destroyed!
Li Luo, who arrived later, didn't expect that the battle would end before he arrived.
After Li Luo cleaned up the battlefield, he joined forces and personally led an army of 250,000 to Baoqing!
On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Li Luo's army was in the south of Baoqing City, east of Yuecheng Pass, and together with Jiang Jun and Zhang Yong, who blocked Baoqing Yuan's army, they surrounded the 100,000 army of Yesudieer.
The total strength of the coalition army exceeded 300,000, and Sudieer was already in an unfavorable terrain, and suddenly fell into a desperate situation.
At this time, Su Dieer and others already knew the news that the king of Yunnan and others were captured and Xiang Mango was killed. also knew that the Hengyang Yuan Army was only left with them all the way.
It's hard to sing in a lonely palm, and it's hard to fly with wings!
Although the Yuan army still had 100,000 people, its morale was extremely low. In addition to the downturn, there is also a strange atmosphere.
Because, most of them are soldiers led by Li Luo!
Two years ago, it was Li Luo, the general of the expedition to the south, who led them to attack and destroy Annan. Li Luo has been their general for more than half a year.
Their worship of Li Luo has not disappeared yet.
This is also the reason why Li Luo did not shell the Yuan camp.
The work of the Special Investigation Bureau has already begun.
He's waiting!
Surrender, of course, is a good thing.
If you don't surrender, then you'll be sorry for these former subordinates.
"Hahaha, general, it's a good one to break through, and finally there will be an ambush on all sides!" Xiao Yan stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the Yuan army camp besieged on all sides, and couldn't help laughing.
As soon as this battle is over, the battle of Hengyang can end in a big victory. As soon as the main force of the Yuan army in Hengyang was defeated, Lu Wenhuan and Tian Jinxian had nothing to worry about.
Of course, Xiao Yan didn't know about the arrival of the Tibetan army from the east.
Luo Yan said: "The Tang King is like a god with soldiers, and he expects the enemy to be the first, and the famous generals from ancient times can't pass it." β
This is not deliberately sending Li Luo to be a sycophant, but he really thinks that Li Luo is clever in using soldiers.
Li Luo said lightly: "The Yuan army of the three roads in Hengyang has been wiped out by two roads, and the fall of Sudie'er is imminent. When the battle of Hengyang was over, Luo Tan led his troops back to Guangdong Province to assist in the attack on Tian Jinxian. The widow will personally lead the army straight into Jiangling, and will meet with Lu Wenhuan and Yuxi Timur. β
Yuxi Timur? Xiao Yan was stunned, who is it?
Li Luo no longer concealed it, "Yuxi Timur has led 80,000 cavalry from Tubo to eastern Sichuan and is attacking Guizhou. β
Xiao Yan's face suddenly turned pale, "General, if 80,000 Tubo cavalry enter Huguang, then I will be the Liang..."
Li Luo smiled: "King Zhao rest assured. But if there is a widow, it will not poison the lake. β
Hu Guang has long been regarded as his own by Li Luo, Xiao Liang is just guarding him for the time being, how can he not feel distressed?
Xiao Yan clenched his fists and said, "Then thank you General." β
Wen Tianxiang suddenly pointed to the Yuan army camp, "King, a team of cavalry in the Yuan camp has come out!" Isn't it..."
Li Luo smiled inexplicably, "I can't hide anything from Mr. Wen, yes, it was Mabalangjie's cavalry, and he came out to surrender on his own initiative." β
The Tibetan general Ma Palang Jie was a trusted general when Li Luo conquered Annam, and Li Luo was also very concerned about the Tubo cavalry he led.
Because Li Luo knew the Tibetan language, he had a lot of dealings with the Tibetan cavalry. To this day, I still remember the names of many Tibetan soldiers.
The 5,000 cavalry of Mabarang had already rumbled out of the camp at this time, and those who didn't know it thought that he was leading the army to attack.
"Marshal, Mabarang has left the camp and surrendered!" Shi Bi hurriedly came to Ye Sudie'er's military tent, "Why didn't the marshal stop him?" β
Su Die'er drank a glass of wine, and said with a little confusion in his eyes: "Why do you want to stop a dog and go to his new master?" Besides, how to stop it? As soon as you stop it, you will fight. β
He pointed outside, "Even the Semu cavalry wants to surrender to their original general, and your Han army is also going to surrender, right?" The king of Yunnan was captured, Xiang Mango was lost, and the 380,000 troops who came to Hengyang, only 100,000 of us were left, besieged on all sides, and many people were still thinking about surrendering, and this battle could not be fought. β
Shi Bi sighed and sat down on the ground, "Is there no way?" β
He is also a veteran and has fought many tough battles in his life. But in this situation, there is nothing to be done.
The terrain is unfavorable, outnumbered, morale is sluggish, and people's hearts are fluctuating. No one can do anything about this situation.
Not long after, suddenly the sound of horses' hooves was heard outside again.
The smile on Shi Bi's face was even more bitter, and he didn't seem to care.
Because Su Dieer has already thought of a way to escape.
Aren't many people trying to surrender?
Anyway, if you can't stop it, let them go. Later, he also led his army out of the camp, and took the opportunity to break through under the pretext of surrender.
Now, only 5,000 Mongolian cavalry can be trusted, and even 5,000 colored cavalry are not trustworthy.
Because the one who came out of the camp just now should be the general Pochi Adin.
Sure enough, a Mongolian guard ran in angrily, "That Yan! Pochiadin, this dog thing, has come out of the camp and surrendered! β
Swift Die'er sneered, and Pochiadin's 8,000-colored cavalry also surrendered.
Not to mention the Han army. Shi Bi didn't surrender, and the generals below him who couldn't stand it all wanted to surrender.
"Don't be angry." Su Die'er drank another glass of wine, "When Li Luo was in Annan, he was good to them, and they were looking for a new master, so what's so strange." β
The Mongols themselves were reluctant to surrender, but at the same time they took it very lightly and did not consider it a big deal.
They are reluctant to surrender because the strong will not surrender to the weak. But if he thinks you are strong, he thinks it is wise to surrender.
Among the 100,000 troops, Li Luo has led at least 60,000 soldiers, and most of these 60,000 will surrender.
No one wants to die. With this level of relationship, it is the best excuse to surrender, and there is not much guilt.
After all, Su Die'er is a general, how can he not understand what these people think?
At this time, Mabarangjie, who was the first to leave the camp, had already led his army to the front of the coalition camp. He ordered all the cavalry to dismount and then walked alone to the coalition camp.
When all the cavalry dismounted, they said they were going to surrender.
Before Mabalangjie arrived at the gate of the coalition camp, the camp suddenly opened, and Li Luo, who was dressed in black armor, rode out of the camp under the surrounding.
Seeing Li Luo's familiar face, Mabalangjie's heart was extremely complicated, and he still saluted in Tubo as he did at the beginning: "The last general, Mabalangjie, has seen the general!" β
Even his title is the same as before.
Li Luo smiled and said in Tubo: "My Langjie, Ben Shuai has been waiting for you for a long time. β
Ma Barangjie showed a very ashamed look, "Let the general wait for a long time." The last general remembered the general's words. The general took Chen Rilian as a metaphor and said that people should conform to the general trend......"
"Ben Shuai is glad you can remember the sentence." Li Luo dismounted, and Mabalangjie took the initiative to take his whip.
"Let's go inside." Li Luo said, "In the future, you will still be Ben Shuai's subordinates." The soldiers and the commander will be properly placed and will not let them suffer. β
"General Xie!" Mabarang said, then waved at the five thousand cavalry.
The five thousand cavalry bowed down together, shouting as before: "I have seen the great general!" β
Li Luo said loudly in Tubo: "No courtesy! Get up. At the beginning, Ben Shuai led you to conquer Annan, and many of you still remember the name of Ben Shuai! β
"Ben Shuai only has one sentence, Ben Shuai will not treat you old subordinates badly, as long as you are loyal to the Tang Dynasty, you will still be Ben Shuai's robe!"
"General Xie!" The five thousand breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, 5,000 men unarmed and formally surrendered.
Soon after, Pochiadin and others also came out of the camp and surrendered.
"The last general, Pochi Adin, meet the general!"
"The last general, Zheng Hui, meets the general!"
The Yuan army that finally surrendered was as high as 50,000 people, accounting for half.
At dusk, another cavalry came out of the camp, but just when the coalition forces thought that the Yuan army was still out of the camp and surrendered, the cavalry suddenly accelerated and rushed straight to the southwest where the siege was weakest.
At the same time, tens of thousands of infantry shouted out of the camp and rushed out.
Su Dieer and Shi Bi finally took the opportunity to break through.
"Boomβ" The 5,000 Mongol cavalry did not use cavalry tactics this time, but directly attacked the coalition defense line.
Shi Bi led tens of thousands of infantry troops to attack behind the cavalry.
The firearms of the Tang Army, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately opened fire mercilessly.
"Bang bang bang!"
These Mongolian cavalry led by Li Luotong fell from their horses one after another, and the speed of the horses suddenly dropped sharply.
And the cavalry of the Tang Army rushed straight to the southwest from the northeast corner and attacked the rear of the Yuan army.
It's just a trap that has been prepared for a long time.
Under the blows of the firearms in front and the cavalry of the Tang Army in the back, the cavalry of the Yuan Army that broke through suddenly collapsed.
Tens of thousands of Yuan infantry troops who broke through the siege, including barbarian soldiers, Han soldiers, and Yue soldiers, came from very mixed sources. But since they are desperately breaking through, Li Luo is not welcome, most of these soldiers and horses are not brought by him.
"Kill!"
The soldiers and horses of the coalition battalion came out one after another to encircle and suppress the Yuan army.
Not long after the battle, the Yuan infantry of the brigade abandoned their weapons and surrendered. But they surrendered passively, and were taken prisoner, waiting for the fate of their soldiers and slaves.
Unlike the likes of Mabarangel and Pochiadin. Surrendered subordinates such as Mabarangjie and Pochiadin could join the Tang army, or they could retire as civilians instead of being slaves.
These don't have this preferential treatment.
In the end, most of the 5,000 Mongol cavalry were killed, and only a few chose to surrender. And Su Dieer and Shi Bi were shot and killed by the firecracker.
At this point, the last Yuan army in Hengyang was annihilated.
The huge decisive battle of Hengyang finally ended with the annihilation of the Yuan army and the complete victory of the coalition army.
On the same day, Luo Tan, the general of the Song State, led tens of thousands of Song troops to leave Hengyang to attack Tian Jinxian, who was attacking Fujian.
And Li Luo also received a letter from Cui Xiuning at this time, and was greatly relieved.
It turned out that Naiyan and the others really chose to raid and cross the river.
When he was besieging Yexian Timur, Cui Xiuning led the Xiangyong battle in Wuhu, and finally defeated the barbarian cavalry who crossed the river in Genang. Immediately afterwards, Yan Duo, the king of Taishang, also thwarted the barbarian cavalry crossing the river in Jiande. It's just that the righteous father went into battle and was wounded by an arrow, but fortunately, it was not a big problem.
The reinforcements sent by themselves did not work at all and did not catch up.
Cui Xiuning and his father-in-law captured more than 70,000 war horses.
More than the war horses he captured in Hengyang.
While delighted, Li Luo was also a little afraid. If more than 100,000 barbarian cavalry crossed the river and headed south, what would be the consequences? The best result was that the lives of Jiangnan were devastated, and the worst result was that the barbarian cavalry entered Hengyang and attacked the coalition army from behind, resulting in a great defeat of the coalition army.
The military situation is like fire. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Li Luo made a simple arrangement and sent someone to send Timur to Lin'an, and personally led an army of 250,000 to leave Hengyang and go to Jiangling.
It's time to settle the Tibetan army of LΓΌ Wenhuan and Yuxi Timur.
At the same time, an order was sent to Hugu and Zhu Hao, who had returned to the south of the Yangtze River, to let them go south to Fujian and completely destroy Tian Jinxian and more than a dozen Tusi coalition forces.
After Li Luo set out on the expedition, he sent a message to his brother-in-law Yang Hanming, who was guarding Guizhou, asking him to deliberately "lose" Guizhou and let Yuxi Timur's army enter Huguang.
The 80,000 Tubo army plus Lu Wenhuan 120,000, which is 200,000.
And he led an army of 300,000, plus Wu Yan and Xiao Yin in Jiangling, and the strength had a great advantage.
Then simply let the Tubo army enter Huguang and annihilate it in one fell swoop!
Li Luo rode on a horse, with a mighty army in front of him and behind him, stretching for dozens of miles.
Looking at the snowflakes that landed again, Li Luo suddenly remembered that this was the first time he hadn't spent the New Year with his daughter-in-law.
