More than 20,000 cavalry of Tuyuhun, in this duel, suffered heavy casualties, swarmed and scattered, the infantry phalanx could not pursue, only the 10,000 cavalry chased and killed, and finally, Tuyuhun's cavalry, only a few thousand people escaped, and the rest were all killed and captured.

Luo Zhaoyun's brave style of leading the army once again made the generals under his command feel it, and they were proud to be the Luo family's army.

Liang Yuanli, Cui Shi and others are all full of spirits, they haven't fought such a tough battle with the barbarian Hu clan for a long time, they are indeed enjoyable, and they also admire this young general very much in their hearts.

It is now the eighth year of the great cause, Luo Zhaoyun is nineteen years old, and he is about to reach the age of a weak male crown, so it can be said that he is already a young adult. His height is calculated according to the measurements of later generations, more than one meter eight, tall and burly, but not that kind of rough and bloated, but full of muscles, with a very good streamline, and the muscles contain infinite strength.

"General Qiyu, our army has destroyed more than 17,000 enemies, including 3,000 prisoners and 2,000 wounded, I don't know how to deal with it?"

"Escort the prisoners back to the border to be guarded, those who are slightly injured and left behind, and those who are seriously injured and difficult to heal, all gather together and resign themselves to fate." Luo Zhaoyun sighed lightly, in ancient times, as long as you were seriously injured in the military camp, there were no anti-inflammatory drugs, and there were no superb medical skills, you were basically waiting for death, not to mention treating enemy prisoners like this, even if you were your own soldiers, it was basically the same.

"What are the casualties of our army, have you counted the specific figures?"

"General Hui, the cavalry suffered more than 3,000 casualties, 5,000 infantry, and thousands of wounded."

Luo Zhaoyun's expression was cold, and he nodded silently, this is war, while killing the enemy, he is also hurting himself, it is impossible to kill the enemy without losses, after all, this is the era of cold weapons, and the enemy you kill is killed by soldiers fighting and cutting with a knife and a gun.

He suddenly thought of black powder, if there is such a thing, made into artillery and explosives, in the face of Turkic, Tuyuhun and other enemy troops, planting minefields, artillery fire, then the cavalry formation is easy to be disrupted, and the attack is invincible.

However, Luo Zhaoyun just thought about it, and didn't want to act for the time being, because he didn't know his fate for the time being, the future was confused, and gunpowder was a double-edged sword.

The collapse of the Great Sui in history was not because he was not good in force and wealth, on the contrary, because it was very powerful and surpassed in the past, which would make Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty swell his ambitions and do something beyond the limit.

Therefore, the invention of gunpowder is not a good medicine to save the fortunes of the country for the Great Sui itself, and it may also be a sharp weapon that the rebel army will use in the future. Luo Zhaoyun will not be stupid, for the time being, when his fate is unpredictable, he will take it out and share it, and give his opponent the same firearm in the future.

Luo Zhaoyun thought secretly in his heart: "In a few years, let's look at the situation, if the Great Sui can't be saved, it is better to keep it as your own killer weapon, when the time comes, the country will compete for hegemony, what Dou Jiande, what Du Fuwei, and the princes of the Eighteen Roads will all be blown up to the sky!" ”

Deputy General Liang Yuanli came over and arched his hand: "General Luo, do I want to continue the attack, or stay and wait for reinforcements." ”

Luo Zhaoyun pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Choose the terrain suitable for camping, strengthen the defense, set up camp, wait for the reorganization of the team, complete the number of 10,000 cavalry, send away the wounded, and moreover, General Li will send a group of men and horses to cooperate, after all, hundreds of miles ahead, is where the royal capital of Tuyuhun is located, Fuqi City!" The Khan of Tuyuhun cannot be unprepared, this is a difficult battle, and it may even be a siege, and our equipment is also in transit. ”

Tens of thousands of troops were encamped, and after a few days, the integration was completed, and the spare knights were selected from the infantry phalanx, and the captured Tuyuhun war horses were put into use, so that the number of 10,000 was replenished, and the surplus war horses were given to the officers above the centurion, as well as the scout battalion.

At this time, deep into the plateau desert and unfamiliar terrain, the role of the scout camp is even more important.

When Luo Zhaoyun joined the army, he first started from the scout battalion and knew its function and function, so each scout had two war horses, one riding and one ready, and scattered in all directions, exploring intelligence, clearing Tuyuhun's outposts, and discovering the enemy's attack in time. After all, they are enemies of the Hu people, they are mobile enemy troops, if they can't be detected in advance and are suddenly attacked by thousands of troops, then the infantry battalion will die without defense.

After resting for a few days, Luo Zhaoyun did not rush forward, and finally waited for reinforcements, which were 8,000 iron cavalry sent by Li Jing, led by Hou Junji, to support the commander. The war in the south was coming to an end, and Tuyuhun had no big cities and big tribes to resist, so he couldn't use so many troops, so Li Jing decisively sent Luo Zhaoyun a lot of iron horses.

"See General Luo!" Hou Junji was dressed in military uniform, radiant, and in his career as a horse in the border army, Jin Ge Iron Horse, cold wind, did exercise him.

"Fortunately, Hou Duwei, from now on, I will appoint you as a vanguard general, and I will command these eight thousand iron horsemen, may you be competent?"

Hou Junji was overjoyed when he heard this, he knew that there was an opportunity, this was his trust in him, he was promoted exceptionally, and it was also an excellent opportunity to make meritorious contributions before the battle.

Hou Junji hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates will never live up to the importance and trust of the general, if they do not defeat the enemy, they will be dealt with by military law!" ”

"Okay, this general likes this kind of bloodiness and self-confidence, which general, is not the material to lead the troops as soon as he arrives in the army, or the general, they all start from the grassroots level, step by step, the opportunity is given to you, see your performance in the future!" Luo Zhaoyun encouraged, and the point was up, with Hou Junji's cleverness, he would not not understand.

"Subordinates obey!" Hou Jun raised his hand and saluted.

Luo Zhaoyun nodded slightly, and his face showed an unfathomable look: "Okay, repair in place for two days, and then the vanguard army advances, and when it is a hundred miles away from Fu Qi City, dig a trench and set up a camp wall, this general will fight a psychological war with Busabo Khan, see who can't bear it first, and those who lose their hearts will die first!"
