The camp of the Ming army.

The fierce fighting on this day was very fierce, the losses of both sides were heavy, and the battlefield was littered with corpses and blood, like hell.

In this battle, the casualties on the Ming side can be said to be the largest since the beginning of the war: the Chong Army lost more than 2,000 soldiers, and the Vietnamese cavalry army also lost more than 2,000 soldiers; More than 3,000 people were killed in the Yingyang army, and more than 5,000 people were killed in various departments in Shaanxi Town; The casualties of the Long Xiang Army and the Tiger Ben Army were fewer, but they combined had more than a thousand people.

In this battle, the Ming army lost more than 15,000 soldiers!

Such casualties made Liu Juntao and other generals very annoyed, and their hearts were full of anger.

And the casualties on the side of the Tartars were even greater:

The entire army of Gaslan was annihilated, 50,000 of the 25,000 or 60,000 Saint Sect guards were annihilated, 180,000 ordinary soldiers and horses were captured, and even Gaslan himself died in the chaos.

The same is true of the Turpan Tartars, in addition to the more than 10,000 people who escaped with the Turpan king Sutanali, the rest of the 80,000 or 90,000 troops were wiped out, and the Ming army captured more than 60,000 people; The 10,000 white-clothed iron horsemen were also destroyed!

In this battle, more than 300,000 Tartar troops were defeated, and 24 or 50,000 Tartar defeated soldiers were captured!

In the night, the officers and soldiers of all departments of the Ming army are resting, and the doctors and craftsmen of the various departments are also doing their best to treat the wounded soldiers.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the chief officers of all departments also gathered together, but there was no joy on everyone's faces.

Although the Ming army achieved a huge victory in this battle, its own casualties were also huge, more than 15,000 people were killed, and more than 20,000 soldiers were wounded.

Lan Siqi, the head of the Central Department, looked at everyone, pondered for a while, and then said to Liu Juntao: "Bingxian, the casualties of all departments in this battle are not small, but they have basically annihilated the main force of the enemy. It is estimated that after this battle, Hamiwei will also be ready to go. ”

"Moreover, the Changshui Army is also about to start, and after the army recovers Hamiwei, it is completely possible to continue westward after Hamiwei rests."

Everyone understands this truth, but the combat strength of the army is damaged, how long will it take to recover?

After a long time, the situation in the Western Regions is bound to undergo a lot of changes, and even the power vacuum that appeared with the defeat of Turpan and the Qikeli Department will be occupied by other Hu tribes in a short period of time, so that there will be few results left in this battle!

"Bingxian?"

At this time, everyone looked at Liu Juntao.

"The Gekli Ministry is over, and the guard general Bai Yi Saha who stayed in Hamiwei is very likely to take over the troops of the Bracke Department directly after learning the news, will he become the next Western Regions hero?"

"The Turpan army has been defeated, but the king of Turpan, Sutan Ali, has fled westward, he still has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, and there are still a lot of forces in the Western Regions, will he regroup during the period when our army is resting?"

"Will Sutanali directly lead the army to raid Hamiwei and then ask for a truce? How will the imperial court react? Are Bayizahar and Sutanali at war or in alliance? Liu Juntao's series of questions made everyone fall into contemplation, everyone's hearts were heavy, and they suddenly felt that the results of this battle seemed to be meaningless, and the situation in the Western Regions and Hamiwei was still confusing!

Liu Juntao paused and said, "This war is different from all previous wars!" When we defeat the Tatars and the Warats, we only need to annihilate the enemy army and occupy the land, and we don't have to think about anything else. But the Western Regions is not Mobei, the Hu tribes and various forces in the Western Regions are intertwined, winning on the battlefield does not mean that we can occupy the Western Regions, we also have to consider the reaction of all forces! ”

Then, Liu Juntao said: "Therefore, there is not much time left for us, and it can even be said that there is no time for our army to rest and recuperate!" After this battle, our army must take advantage of the victory to march, take Hamiwei in the shortest possible time, and lead the army to fight directly before the forces of the Western Regions have not reacted, so as to break the skill! ”

When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly opened up.

Yes, no alliance, no strange situation, can't resist the sweep of the tiger and wolf army!

As long as the Ming army can seize the opportunity, it can seize the opportunity before the Tartars react, and they can sweep the entire Western Regions!

Liu Juntao stood up and said; "This constitution has decided that the army will march west tomorrow and attack Hamiwei!"

"The wounded of all soldiers will be left in place for treatment, and they will be sent to Jiayuguan after the injuries are stabilized!"

"Order!"

Hamiwei.

In the darkness of the night, an endless army of iron cavalry marched slowly, approaching the Acropolis of Hami in the distance.

At this time, the city gate of the Hami Acropolis has been closed, and all the Tartar soldiers in the city are on guard, but since this time, everyone has begun to slack off, after all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops facing the Ming army in the east, and what danger will there be in the rear of the Hami Guard?

Zhou Zongsheng rode the horse army, this time he pulled out the 12,000 soldiers of the Changshui Army and the 60,000 servant army iron cavalry, and the 72,000 iron cavalry army approached Hamiwei in a fan shape, and finally stopped five miles away from the Hami Acropolis.

Half an hour later, the morning sun rose, Hamiwei came out of the darkness, the gates were opened, the soldiers and people in the city began their day's work, and the city began to be noisy inside and outside.

It's just that the people of the Han family in the original city have disappeared, and they have all been replaced by bearded people, and the entire Hamiwei has become a city of Hu people!

Suddenly, the charging sound of the rolling iron cavalry came, and the Hu people, who were still grazing and chopping wood just now, were suddenly stunned, and the endless iron cavalry army in the distance let out a roar of rage, and was killing at full speed!

Where did these Iron Riders come from?

This is the question on everyone's mind!

"Rush into Hamiwei!"

Zhou Zongsheng roared, and led a hundred guards and iron cavalry to rush to the front, and the 60,000 servant troops were also working hard, stretching out on the two wings of the Changshui Army, and killing directly towards the west gate and south gate of Hamiwei.

"Close the gates!"

At this time, the guard Bai Yisaha, who was patrolling the city wall, roared loudly, and there was a wail in his heart.

But at this time, there were people everywhere outside the city gate, Hu people and soldiers were mixed together, and the city gate could not be closed at all!

"Boom!"

An army of 72,000 iron cavalry troops rushed in from the south, west, and north gates, and the Tartar soldiers and Hu people at the city gates were knocked to pieces, and the three city gates suddenly became three Shura fields, and everywhere there were stumps and broken arms that had been trampled by the iron horses, and blood was dripping everywhere!

Bai Yizaha hurried back to the city, mobilized 10,000 iron horsemen, and prepared to break out. At this time, anyone can see that Hamiwei can't hold it!

But before Bai Yisaha could go far, he met Zhou Zongsheng who led the army into the city.

Zhou Zongsheng didn't talk at all, and directly led the army to block the street, a dense three-eyed gun roared, and the 10,000 iron cavalry that had just been assembled was suddenly in chaos, the front of the army was full of corpses and wounded, and the iron cavalry in the rear was even more spinning in place, unable to launch a charge at all.

Seeing this, Bai Yisaha wailed, and hurriedly beckoned the soldiers and horses beside him to turn around and flee for their lives.

Zhou Zongsheng naturally would not give the Tartars this opportunity, and saw the banner of Bai Yisaha from a distance, roared, and led thousands of iron cavalry soldiers of the Changshui Battalion to rush forward.

Only a moment later, Zhou Zongsheng commanded the iron cavalry to catch up with Bai Yi Saha, and at the same time, thousands of servant soldiers and iron cavalry arrived in front of him, blocking the front road of Bai Yi Saha's department!

"Kill me!"

Zhou Zongsheng roared, the siege and annihilation battle immediately began, Bai Yi Saha and the thousands of Tartar iron cavalry around him had no room to fight back, only a stick of incense time was killed and wounded, Bai Yi Saha was killed by Zhou Zongsheng himself in the chaos of the army, and his head was hung on the saddle by Zhou Zongsheng.

Then, Zhou Zongsheng led his troops to gallop in the city, and tens of thousands of Tartar troops and more than 100,000 Hu people in the city surrendered one after another.

Three days later, the king of Turpan, Sutan Ali, led more than 10,000 iron cavalry to the outside of the Acropolis, at this time the king of Turpan, Sutan Ali, was already disgraced, but his complexion had improved, and his soldiers and horses had recovered some morale slightly.

At this time, the king of Turpan, Sutan Ali, was about to let his subordinates deceive him into opening the city gate, and suddenly the gate of the Hami Acropolis was opened, and countless iron horsemen rushed out, and the first general was Zhou Zongsheng.

I saw that there were iron cavalry rushing out of the south, east and west gates of the Hami Acropolis, and more than 10,000 remnants of the troops under the command of the king of Turpan Sutan Ali were surrounded from three sides, which was unstoppable!

"Let's go!"

The king of Turpan, Sutan Ali, saw that the mountains were full of Ming army battle flags, the wolf-like Ming army iron cavalry, and countless Hu people iron cavalry rushed over, with a force of at least tens of thousands, and the remnants of more than 10,000 soldiers who had long been exhausted in their hands could not resist it no matter what.

But it was too late, at this time, tens of thousands of Ming troops and cavalry had already blocked all the surroundings of the Turpan king Sutan Ali's department, and the remnants of the Tartars had no way to escape!

"Kill all the Tartars!"

Zhou Zongsheng roared angrily, and tens of thousands of Ming army iron horsemen were like rainbows!

After a battle, the king of Turpan, Sutan Ali, and more than 10,000 remnants of the army were wiped out, and the king of Turpan, Sutan Ali, died in the chaos.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Zhou Zongsheng sent Ye Buhui to report to Liu Juntao.

In the evening of the same day, Zhou Zongsheng received the news: Liu Juntao had led the main army of the Ming army to arrive, and the army would be stationed in Hami Wei two days later, and Zhou Zongsheng was ordered to take all the prisoners and detain them outside the Hami Acropolis!
