Chapter 543: A Great Victory
When the last brilliant fireworks came to an end, the land fell back into darkness.
"Lord Samurai, the fireworks have been released." Xue Rengui said urgently, he was on the battlefield, and the fireworks were such a helper to Datang.
If there were no fireworks, Datang might have won, but there was definitely no such victory as it is now, and the Tuyuhun cavalry, who were skilled in archers and horses, would have long since taken advantage of the chaos to run without a shadow.
However, under the light of fireworks, the Tang army cooperated in batches, encircled and intercepted, and besieged a large number of Tuyuhun cavalry.
"The fireworks are gone?" Merton looked up at the sky, and Zhizhu was holding it, "This tengu eclipse is coming to an end, and the sky is about to dawn." ”
These fireworks were made by him with the most precious gunpowder, and there were not many of them, but Merton was pinching the time to make them. Even if there is an error, it is only a few breaths of time.
Sure enough, as soon as Merton's words fell, a dazzling light fell from the sky, and I saw that the sky brightened sharply, and in a blink of an eye, the sky and the earth suddenly returned to light.
Li Jing put down the sun protective goggles in his hand, watched the Tuyuhun cavalry rout, and the victory of the Tang Dynasty was decided, and he couldn't help laughing; "Beat the drums, and the whole army will attack."
"Knock knock!"
The earth-shattering military drums roared, and the Tang cavalry instantly divided into two groups, one dedicated to encircling and killing the Datang Iron Weapons who were encircled, and the other was to comprehensively pursue and kill the fleeing Tuyuhun rout.
"It's dawn!"
Tuoba Chici led the party cavalry just to copy the back road of the Tang army, and then was blocked by the Turkic cavalry led by Qixin He Li, fortunately, Tuoba Chici had the intention to preserve the troops, and did not fight hard with the Turkic cavalry, and fell into it not deeply.
At the same time, among the large number of Tuyuhun cavalry, Fu Yun looked at the sun that appeared again, and couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood in a hurry.
"Heavens! Could it be that the grassland god also turned his back on Tuyuhun. Fu Yun shouted loudly.
The other Tuyuhun kings were also pessimistic, if it was on the battlefield, they would have nothing to say if they were defeated, but they were so defeated that in that short half an hour, it became a lingering nightmare for everyone.
"Khan, the Tang army has caught up again." The Pillar King looked behind him with a horrified expression.
"Damn!"
Fu Yun couldn't help but recall the nightmare of being chased and killed by the Sui army back then, at this moment, the Tuyuhun soldiers had already collapsed into an army, and they could not form an effective resistance at all.
"Hurry up, the Tang army is wearing heavy armor and can't catch up with Tuyuhun's horses!" Fu Yun gave an order, and a large number of Tuyuhun cavalry fled westward.
The two armies chased and fled for a full twenty miles, and in the end it was Tuyuhun's Qinghai Chong who had the upper hand.
"It's really hateful, I let Fu Yun escape." Yu Chi Baolin, who was in the lead, looked at the Tuyuhun cavalry who had already run away.
"Phew!" Qin Huaiyu reined in the panting war horse under his crotch and said: "We can't catch up with Qinghai Cong, and the purpose of chasing Fu Yun is to prevent Fu Yun's old thief from killing a horse gun." Go and rescue the Tuyuhun cavalry that has been trapped. ”
Now that they have been pursued for twenty miles, even if the Tuyuhun cavalry comes back, I am afraid that they will be trapped on their horses, and it is impossible to kill them again.
"Cheap for those grandchildren." Cheng Chumo looked in the direction of the battlefield and said hatefully.
In an instant, Qin Huaiyu and the others suddenly looked at Cheng Chumo with strange eyes, you must know that on the battlefield, there is still his father Cheng Biting Jin.
Cheng Chumo's face turned dark suddenly, and he looked at the two friends and threatened: "You rot me with these words, otherwise don't blame our brothers for breaking off relations." ”
"Hahaha." The two of them burst into laughter.
Cheng Chumo's face turned red, and he threatened the two of them fiercely, so he became angry, turned around and yelled at the soldiers: "Disperse immediately, a team of ten people will return to the army to search, on the battlefield, there will definitely be a lot of fish that have slipped through the net, don't let them slip away." ”
"Yes!" A group of right guard soldiers suddenly responded, mosquito legs are also meat, and these lost Tuyuhun cavalry are also military merits!
On the grassland, many cattle and sheep of Tuyuhun with the army were used as military food, and I am afraid that they would have fled in all directions, and these all needed to be recovered, as the food and grass of the army, and it was difficult for the army to go deep into the grassland to replenish the supply, and Li Jing had already formulated a strategy to feed the war with war. The cattle and sheep of Tuguhun were used as the military rations of the Tang army.
"Kill!"
The sharp-eyed Cheng Chumo quickly found a Tuyuhun soldier who fled in embarrassment, and the anger that had accumulated in his heart for a long time suddenly erupted and rushed straight away.
After a few moves, he slashed the Tuguhun rout under his horse.
The same situation happened on the battlefield within a radius of dozens of miles, and one by one the Tang troops pursued the victory, killing the Tuyuhun rout one after another.
As time passed, the fighting gradually subsided, and the scattered small groups of cavalry returned victoriously, each with one or two Qinghai horses tied to their backs, or a few cattle and sheep driving back.
"General Qiyu, our army has killed 50,000 and captured 20,000 miscellaneous animals, and Fu Yun is defeated and flees back to Fu Qi City." A pro-soldier excited report.
"Good!"
Li Jinggujing's face suddenly turned overjoyed, and the Tang army not only defeated more than 200,000 Tuyuhun iron cavalry head-on, but also killed 50,000 in battle, which can be said to be a great victory since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
The generals were also overjoyed, they thought it must have been a hard battle, but they did not expect this victory to come so smoothly.
Everyone couldn't help but focus on Merton's body, if the credit for this great victory is divided into three, the first merit is naturally all the soldiers, the second merit is of course Li Jing, who commanded Ruoding, and the third must be Merton.
If there was no powerful gunpowder, if there was no accurate prediction of the Tengu Eclipse Day, if there was no moment when day and night were reversed, the Mo family's fireworks would not have won such a big victory.
If it is the tengu eclipse is the reversal of yin and yang, then the fireworks of the Mo family are the reversal of yin and yang, under the brilliant fireworks, the soldiers of all armies fought on the battlefield, such a combat experience, I am afraid it will be a memory that everyone will never forget.
Li Jing shook his head and waved away the picture that couldn't help but appear in his mind, and asked, "What about the casualties of our army?" How many warriors are there? ”
"Our army lost 2,000 killed and 10,000 wounded!" The pro-soldier said with a heavy face. Even if the Tang army was well prepared, in the face of Tuyuhun's overwhelming charge, it suffered heavy casualties, but compared to previous expectations, it was already much better.
"Summons Mr. Mo Wu, let the doctor do his best to treat the wounded." Li Jing said with a heavy face, "As for the sacrificed soldiers, they will be buried on the spot, and the long history of the army will register them one by one, and the military merits will be doubled, and after the class teacher returns to the court, he will be compensated by the imperial court." ”
"Yes!" The soldiers were immediately ordered to retreat.
