Chapter 161: Victory in the First Battle
The Sui army won a great victory, covering up all the way, in this situation, it was almost a one-sided pursuit and slaughter, and anyone who stopped to resist would be annihilated by the army, just like a wave rolled up in the sea. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The cold weapons group war relies on the cooperation of the army, the overall advance and retreat, and the collective strength, and it is by no means a single person who can resist thousands of troops.
The role of a general is to strategize, dispatch troops, and use tactics to wait, and personal bravery is only a part, of course, it is also very important, but it is not the most important.
This time, he was able to win more with less, not because of how strong Luo Zhaoyun's martial arts were, but because of his whimsical ideas, he fought psychological warfare, set up three ambushes, created momentum, and played a role in interfering with the enemy's military morale.
The army is in turmoil, and the enemy is attacked on all sides, even if he has an army of 50,000, but the command is out of order, it is a plate of scattered sand, and without accurate military orders, he only knows how to flee for his life.
"Kill—"
Thousands of troops and horses, swallowing like tigers, rumbling iron horses, invincible.
Luo Zhaoyun's Lu Ma was fast, commanding the cavalry to constantly rush and chase and kill, the spears flew like dragons, and his skills were vividly unfolded, and some generals and subordinates were convinced, and they completely lost their temper.
Of course, they don't know it yet, in fact, there are no reinforcements arriving at all, it's just a suspicious tactic used by Luo Zhaoyun, otherwise, I'm afraid they will be even more admired.
Luo Zhaoyun is a combination of men and horses, the perfect fusion of riding and martial arts, and the use of strength is so wonderful that he swept all the way over, and he killed one person with one shot, and he was unstoppable.
The surrounding cavalry saw that the main general was so violent, and they were all ruthless, and the more they killed, the more courageous they became.
Puff puff puff -
Heads are flying, blood is spraying, extremely cruel, this is not the first time Luo Zhaoyun has participated in this kind of battle, and his heart has become hard.
Although he knew that these deserters were all innocent and alive.
However, if we take a different position, we cannot be merciful in war.
Compassion is not in charge of soldiers, and benevolence is not king, this is the truth.
Luo Zhaoyun didn't want a victory that was hard and dangerous, but because of his kindness, he missed the opportunity to chase and kill in vain, and let the enemy army go back to gather and converge, and then come back to fight again, and his soldiers didn't know how many people would die.
Therefore, he had to be ruthless, kill more people, kill the enemy soldiers, seriously hurt their vitality, and make a name for himself.
"To be merciful to one's enemies is to be cruel to oneself!" Luo Zhaoyun repeated these words in his heart, and gradually, his mood was already a little numb, but his eyes became sharper and colder.
After chasing out for four or five miles, he reined in his war horse and taught the task of pursuit to the Asian generals Changsun Chao and Ning Wufei, turned around and said to the general beside him: "Pass the order, those who disarm and surrender will not be killed!" ”
"Yes!" Some of the rebel soldiers who were besieged and intercepted were making the last struggle, and now after hearing the shouts, they threw away their weapons and squatted on the ground, no longer resisting.
As a result, most of the rebel soldiers within four or five miles, who did not escape, chose to surrender.
Thousands of soldiers were gathered and guarded, their weapons were confiscated, and they were put under supervision.
Luo Zhaoyun ordered the seven or eight thousand people who did not pursue here, clean up the battlefield, burn the corpses, etc., the battle is over, the dead bodies must be disposed of as soon as possible, the weather is hot, and I am worried that it will stink after two or three days, causing a corpse plague.
Half a day later, the pursuing men and horses returned one after another, the vanguard battle was victorious, at least nearly 20,000 enemies were killed, five or six thousand people were captured, and more than 20,000 people were scattered.
Under normal circumstances, they will not return to the barracks, either sneaking back to their hometowns to farm, or falling into the grass to become cowards, or burrowing into the deep mountains and old forests to temporarily avoid the limelight, and do not want to fight anymore.
For example, in history, Yang Guangsan conquered Goryeo, each time he launched an army of more than one million, and finally defeated and returned, leaving only tens of thousands of people to retreat to the capital, the million horses, not all died in battle, most of them were actually scattered, fled back to their hometowns, or became green forests and grass, most of the rebel armies at the end of the Sui Dynasty, most of the northern Hebei and Shandong areas were the former fleeing soldiers, occupying the mountains as kings, and rising up to make trouble.
At dusk, the vanguard army set up camp and simply held a celebration banquet to bandage and give preferential treatment to all the wounded soldiers.
Luo Zhaoyun also personally patrolled the camp, sympathized with his subordinates, and comforted the wounded barracks, which made his prestige as a young general higher and higher.
Especially when Zhou Botao, Hou Mo, Chen Ying and others heard that the reinforcements did not come at all, and it was all a strategy used by Luo Zhaoyun, they were dumbfounded, and the disbelief in him in their hearts was gone.
That night, the news of the victory in the first battle reached the main army camp on the south bank of the Yellow River, Yang Su was in the tent, talking to several generals and generals about the strategy of sending troops to deploy the army, and after receiving the intelligence letter, he couldn't help laughing and said, this Luo Cheng is really a deputy general! He's a malleable talent! (To be continued.) )
