Chapter 955: Annihilation of the Persian Army
The commander of the Persian state had already led his troops to the camp area of the South Vietnamese state, and there was no one in the whole area.
He was a little puzzled, he had already sent nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses, how could there be no one?
In order to prevent an ambush in the camp area, he first asked a group of spies to investigate, and he especially explained that he carefully investigated clues on the ground, inside and outside the camp tent.
The spies entered the tent area and took a closer look.
There were almost no problems in the camp except for no one, and the corpses and weapons left behind in the grass outside had been cleaned up, and the blood stains had also been cleaned up.
These were professional spies who quickly discovered something wrong.
The grass on the ground was overwhelmingly overwhelmed, and some of the grass still had blood stains on it. The canvas of the tent was still damaged, and there were many fresh footprints on the ground.
The spies told the Persian commander what they had discovered, and the commander immediately understood.
It's not that there is no one here, and the soldiers he sent should have all been killed, so these traces are left.
He immediately told his soldiers to be on guard, and a group of soldiers with spears knocked over some of the tents in front of them, looking for people or corpses here.
Dozens of tents were rummaged through, but nothing was found in them except for some household items and blankets for sleeping.
He suddenly sensed that they were likely to be in the ambush area, and they had to retreat quickly.
The commander of the Persian army had just given the order to retreat, when suddenly three arrows were fired at him at a rapid pace.
He immediately picked up his sword and blocked two arrows, the last of which struck him in the right chest, and the Persian commander immediately fell from his saddle horse.
The soldiers surrounded the commander, guarded, retreating and defending.
Bai Zijun gave an order, and the archers who were lying in ambush around shot arrows at the Persian army, and the Persian army immediately suffered heavy casualties.
"Senior brother, your cloud-piercing arrow is not bad!"
Just now, it was the cloud-piercing arrow shot by Hanako's sword, and the commander of the Persian army only blocked two, and the last one had no chance to block, and finally fell off the horse with the arrow.
After several rounds of bow and arrow attacks, the Persian army suffered thousands of casualties, and the army was in disarray.
The wounded commander of the Persian army ordered the archers to return fire, and the forward army daredevils were on guard in the rear, and once the enemy appeared, they would fight immediately. They want to break out of the encirclement.
When a group of Persian troops retreated to a forest two hundred meters behind, they were attacked by archers in the woods. The Persian army continued to retreat, and Bai Zijun and Hanako swordsmen intercepted and killed these people in two ways.
Hanako Jian led two thousand vanguard death squads to rush towards the Persian army on war horses, and suddenly, the two armies were killed.
After this great battle, less than 3,000 of the 10,000 Persian army remained, and the cavalry of Hanako's sword belt also suffered 1,000 casualties.
After the rest of the cavalry withdrew, the frightened Persians joined the army and were attacked by a large number of archers, and in the end there were less than a thousand men left.
The commander of the Persian army was mortally wounded and dying.
However, there were a large number of Persian troops coming to the rescue in front, and there were less than 7,000 men and horses on Bai Zijun and Hua Zijian's side, and there were 17,000 Persian troops who came to the rescue. If you want to fight hard, the odds are not high.
On the one hand, their army trapped the remnants of less than a thousand troops. On the other hand, 2,000 archers lay in ambush in the woods, and when the Persian army that came to support them passed by, they attacked fiercely.
Nearly 10,000 Persian troops passed through the woods to support, and were beaten by the archers in ambush in the woods, losing almost half of their troops.
After the Persian army, which had come to support, was attacked, it was divided into two forces. Bai Zijun adjusted his strategy, mainly besieging the commander of the enemy army, and waiting for Murong Xue to send people to support.
On the other side, thousands of infantry fought with the Persian army, and the casualties on both sides were not small.
After two hours of fighting, there were less than 5,000 soldiers and horses left in the Persian army that came to support behind, and Bai Zijun and Hua Zijian also suffered more than 3,000 casualties.
Now, he still has more than 3,000 soldiers left, and the enemy army has more than 5,000 in total. If you fight hard with the enemy, you may lose both, and now you have to wait for Murong Xue's reinforcements.
Therefore, Bai Zijun gave the soldiers a delaying strategy to drag the enemy army here and prevent them from escaping.
An hour later, Wu Tong arrived with 30,000 soldiers and horses, along with Empress Han Xuening and several generals.
Duan Rui was beside Han Xuening, saw the soldiers who were killed and wounded all over the ground, and sighed: "It seems that there was a big battle just now, and the casualties exceeded 10,000. ”
After Bai Zijun and Hua Zijian saw Han Xuening coming, they immediately came up to report the battle situation.
After a general understanding of the battle situation, Han Xuening felt that Bai Zijun and Hua Zijian did the right thing, and the enemy still had five thousand left, and they couldn't escape this time.
Han Xuening asked Wutong to directly take 20,000 elite soldiers and eliminate the remaining enemy troops.
20,000 elite soldiers charged 5,000 enemy troops, and in less than an hour, all 5,000 enemy troops were killed. The enemy commander was in the confusion, and his head was cut off to the ground.
In this battle, 30,000 Persian troops were killed on all fronts, and even the commander was dead.
The victorious army of the Great Wei State began to clean up the battlefield, and the battlefield was in disarray, full of stumps and severed hands, and extremely bloody.
Han Xuening asked the soldiers to gather the corpses together and burn them all.
The commander of the Cold Moon Country, who was waiting for the commander of the Persian army to come back in the tent, never thought that he would never see the commander of the Persian army again. And gone, all the Persian troops were killed on all fronts. The 30,000 horses disappeared in less than half a day.
It was getting dark, and when he went to the South Vietnamese camp, none of the soldiers in the Thai camp had returned, and he had already expected that something was wrong.
At night, he did not sleep in the camp, but went directly to the direction of Dali City with 20,000 horses, leaving 30,000 soldiers and horses in the camp.
The Great Wei army, which had won several big victories, did not continue to advance. Instead, they withdrew after ambushing hundreds of men around the tent.
The soldiers of the Cold Moon Country, puffs of smoke drifting from the east, immediately reported to the commander, they didn't know what the hell was going on? The coach traveled day and night to Dali City.
In fact, the smoke was caused by the burning of a large number of corpses. The soldiers of the Cold Moon Country thought that the forest might have caught fire.
After returning to the large army led by Murong Xue, Han Xuening told Murong Xue the good news that the Persian army had been completely annihilated. Murong Xue was very happy, and everyone celebrated together that night.
Persia, South Vietnam, and Thailand, the troops sent by the three countries to Dali were either captured alive or wiped out. The four countries have a total of 100,000 troops, and now there are still 50,000 troops left in the Cold Moon Country.
There were still more than 90,000 of the 100,000 troops brought by Murong Xue, and what she wanted now was to spend the least amount of losses to destroy the remaining 50,000 troops of the Cold Moon Kingdom.
