Chapter 89 [Hebei Victory, Family Panic]
A war is fought as soon as it is said, but the quick outcome of this battle made the Central Plains and the grassland dumbfounded.
In less than ten days, it has come to an end.
The key point is that Datang won.
Not only won, but annihilated.
Can you not win?
If you don't win, I'm sorry for the full preparation of this battle!
Let's talk about the number of troops first, there are 100,000. And they are all iron-blooded veterans, bringing together almost the entire Datang elite.
For example, the 50,000 army of the Women's Army is a border army that has been stationed in Shanggu County, Yizhou, fighting with the Turks all the year round, and what they are best at is fighting against cavalry.
Another example is the 45,000 foot soldiers of Tiance Mansion, who are veterans of a hundred battles who have traveled thousands of miles, who once fought Dou Jiande in Hebei and Wang Shichong under Luoyang City.
In addition to these two armies, there are also 5,000 Xuanjia Iron Cavalry, you must know that this is Li Shimin's family background, when he swept the world, there were only 3,000 people, although there were only 3,000 people at that time, but they dared to impact Dou Jiande's 100,000 army, and now the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry has developed to 5,000, which can almost be called the most fierce combat force in the world.
Therefore, in terms of military strength alone, it is impossible to lose this war.
Speaking of generals, it is even more terrifying.
There is a ranking among the people, it is said that the eighteen heroes at the end of the Sui Dynasty, after many years of war, the top few are basically dead, such as Li Xuanba threw a hammer to smash the sky, Xiong Kuohai Li supported the giant gate, Yuwen Ducheng was more unlucky, and the second man was knocked down by three hammers in ten thousand years, although the death was more aggrieved, but no one can deny that he is very awesome.
These most fierce guys are dead, there is still a top-ranked alive, looking at the whole world today, Qin Qiong is definitely second to none, once on the battlefield, he can be called brave, with him leading five thousand Xuanjia iron horses, he dares to directly chisel through any army.
In addition to Qin Qiong, there are several people, such as Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chi Jingde, who are the best age for vigorous blood, and for example, the four deputy generals of the Women's Army, any one of them is ruthless, and he used to be a giant who ran rampant in Hebei, and belonged to the kind of people who didn't want to die when they started a war.
There are also Duan Zhixuan, and Zhang Liang, who came to Hebei with Li Shimin this time, how can they just be addicted to war?
With so many fierce generals, how could this war be lost.
Troops, with ten to one.
The generals are all fierce men.
The main thing is that there are two handsome talents.
The most capable general of Tiance in Datang is in Hebei, and the most outstanding first female commander in Datang is in Hebei.
In addition to these two handsome talents, there is also a young man from Hebei who hides behind people, and has inherited two magical family mottos at home, and has already practiced Voldemort for eighteen years.
Even if it is the eldest grandson Wuji, the first old Yin of the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that he will have to praise this young man three times.
In order to get the bullock of the Turks, Gu Tianya endured the humiliation of the Miyun Sun clan for eighteen years.
In order to get the war horses of the Turks, the entire Gujia Village went crazy and rushed to work.
A thousand special military thorns were made, all of which were set on thick wooden poles that were four feet long, and if the length of the military spurs themselves was added, the total length of this new weapon reached seven feet three.
If converted into a later unit of measurement, it is already a total length of two meters.
This thing was held in the hands of the cavalry, and rushed forward in a row, the scimitar of the enemy cavalry had not yet been raised, and it had been pierced by the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty......
Therefore, from the perspective of weapons, the Tang Dynasty is still far superior to the Turks.
With so many advantages gathered in this war, this war can no longer be described as 'won'.
You have to use 'total annihilation' to be appropriate!
It has to be described as a 'great victory'!
More than 12,000 cavalry of the Turks were directly killed, and more than 60% were killed, and less than 30% were left, and they fled back to the steppe in a hurry.
It is said that the fleeing soldiers were all wounded, and it was a bleeding wound, so it was difficult to survive this catastrophe, and it was likely that they would die after a few days.
The cavalry was so fast that they could barely escape with their wounds, but the Turkic auxiliaries were so poor that they were all taken prisoner in the first battle.
That's more than 10,000 people, all of them are Turkic women with strong physique, and the thousands of bullocks they drove have all become the trophies of the Great Tang War.
So this is a big victory, it can be called a total annihilation, this is something that has not happened for many years, and the Han family finally ushered in a breath and raised his eyebrows.
We won!
Since the Han Dynasty, the Central Plains has always been weak, whenever a foreign invasion, the people can only bear hardship, being killed with a butcher's knife at will, and roasted into a two-legged sheep on the fire.
Hundreds of years of humiliation, what a catastrophe of blood and tears?
In the entire northern part of the Central Plains, anywhere, as long as you dig in the ground with a shovel, you can easily see the accumulation of white bones, ghost fires floating every night, ten households and nine empty villages, that kind of poignant misery, history books are unwilling to describe it.
However, this time, the Han family finally took revenge, although it was not a battle to destroy the country, but he finally won the invasion.
Not a single people suffered.
Not a single soldier was killed in battle.
The entire Hebei Province exhaled and raised its eyebrows, and won the Turkic invasion of more than 10,000 people.
Refreshing!
……
When the news was transmitted to Chang'an through the letter eagle, the officials of the family in the court were jumping up and down and making noise, they put forward all kinds of harsh demands, and the words were full of threats and intimidation.
"No way, it's impossible."
They don't want to believe it, and they don't want to believe it.
The Tang Dynasty actually won the battle against the Turks of the steppe and resisted an invasion that had never been resisted for hundreds of years, this is impossible, this is absolutely fake.
If this matter is true, it is not trivial, this not only means that the foundation of the Li royal family will be stable from now on, but also means that their family side has less powerful bargaining chips.
If you can't threaten with the power of aliens from now on, then colluding with the grassland will really become a big crime that will destroy the family. Previously they were not afraid of such a great sin, because they could collude with the Turkic invasion at any time.
As long as the Turkic cavalry invaded the Central Plains, the Li royal family had to bow their heads obediently, not only did they not dare to punish them, but they also had to pay for various interests and seek peace, but they never thought that this time the Tang Dynasty would win the war.
"Impossible, impossible......"
For several days, the officials of the Maison persisted, refusing to believe the news from Hebei Province, believing that it was to appease the panicked people in Chang'an.
But when the time came to the fifth day, that is, the fifteenth day of the Turkic invasion, suddenly a fast horse came from the north, and the knight immediately inserted a red feather, galloping, rushing wildly, and a heart-rending cry surprised the people of the entire Chang'an City.
"I am a Hongling urgent envoy, thousands of miles to pass the book, Hebei Road, a great victory, 80,000 battles, 100,000 prisoners......"
Reporting success is a major event of a country, originally it was not allowed to make a big statement, there must be a statement, not exaggerated momentum, but this Hongling urgency is obviously different, he was instigated by a certain 'Hebei youth', so along the way, this thing bragged wildly.
Ming Ming killed 8,000 Turkic cavalry, which became 80,000 in his mouth, and 10,000 Turkic auxiliaries were captured in his mouth, and 100,000 prisoners were captured in his mouth.
The reason is very simple, to make the people happy, so since this messenger entered Chang'an, he has been roaring and bragging all the way.
This cargo ran all the way, straight towards the palace, and kept shouting in his mouth, as if tearing his heart, and roared: "Great victory, great victory, Datang Wansheng, Datang Wansheng, ahhahaha, dodge, quickly dodge, I am Hongling's urgent envoy, go straight to the palace to report the victory......"
Countless people in Chang'an, and even the refugees who fled the famine, gathered tens of thousands of people in the blink of an eye, and they poured into the streets to stand on both sides of the road.
They had shock on their faces, but their eyes flashed with ecstasy, they watched Hongling rush wildly, and suddenly the whole Chang'an sounded an earth-shaking roar, and hundreds of people were also heartbreaking, looking up to the sky and letting out a roar: "Great victory, great victory......"
How many years?
How many generations?
Finally!
I also heard a great victory against the aliens.
Countless Han people were in tears.
However, when the news reached the ears of the family, at this moment, countless tea cups fell to the ground. They couldn't care about tasting tea anymore, and they couldn't keep it leisurely, and countless people from the family were pale, and they spit out six words with disbelief on their faces, and said with great difficulty: "It's really a big victory?" ”
At the same time, somewhere in Chang'an, Wang Si, the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang clan, had straight eyes, and was asking his family in an indescribable trembling tone, almost screaming: "Do you really see clearly?" Is that really the Red Feather Urgency? Is he really shouting for a big victory? Is he really from Hebei? ”
But seeing that a family member below was full of fear, he replied cautiously and said, "Qiqi family master, it is true." ”
Wang Si's face was pale, and his eyes flashed with fear.
After a long time, the patriarch, one of the two major gate valves in the world, took a deep breath and seemed to mutter: "Is it really 80,000 in battle?" Is it really a hundred thousand captives? ”
Although he seemed to be muttering to himself, someone next to him opened his voice, and seemed to be very anxious and said: "I'm afraid it won't be wrong, the battle can't be faked, how is this good, how is this good, I really can't imagine that the Li family can win against the Turks......"
This person's face was pale, his body was trembling constantly, and suddenly he seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but say in horror: "We have been coercing the Li family for the past few days, and we have been intimidating them for the past few days, but now that the Turks have been defeated, will the Li family show their murderous intentions?" ”
