Chapter 1242: The First Battle Ends
ps: The protagonist forced the Qin State to form an alliance, so that Li Mu and Le Yi couldn't defeat it, which is brilliant enough. The Hanoi battlefield www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion was originally a battlefield where the supporting role of Zhao Yuanzuo, the king of Southern Liang, was arranged. This is an important supporting role in the plot, and the supporting role is strong, so that it can contrast the protagonist in the future, isn't it? So you don't have to worry, how can I, King Dasu, be wronged. Also, how is this draw meaningless? Didn't Zhao Run, Le Yi, and Li Mu all hold each other? First time you meet, that's it. Historical texts, even if they alternate history, are still somewhat ups and downs.

"Ding Ding Dingββ, Ding Ding Ding-"
A moment later, the Qin and Wei coalition forces were in the main formation, and the sound of gold on behalf of the collection of troops sounded.
After hearing the sound of gold from the direction of the formation, the officers and men of the Qin and Wei armies on the battlefield were all surprised, and they did not understand why the formation ordered the troops to be withdrawn for no reason.
It wasn't until they saw a Yanmen cavalry near the formation that Yang Quanjun Yingyi, Wei General Zhai Huang and others were shocked: When? Actually attacked the main camp?
"Win the cymbal, sama."
A Qin general rode a horse to Yangquan Jun Yingyi's side and asked what the latter meant, after all, Yangquan Jun Yingyi was the main general of the left-wing battlefield (north).
Yang Quanjun Ying Yi glanced at the battlefield on the left flank.
It has to be said that at this time on the battlefield on the left flank, the 30,000 Handan army and the 8,000 Northern Yan army on the South Korean side have completely collapsed.
The Han general Storm Kite was injured by the Qin general Wuzhao, and the general of the Northern Yan Army, Li Cang, was killed by the general Wu Ji of the Shang Water Army, and only one cavalry was still stubbornly supported, but it could not be supported for long.
It is no exaggeration to say that on the left flank battlefield, the Wei army has achieved an overwhelming advantage.
However, in the southern battlefield, the 20,000 merchant and naval troops of Wei General Nanmen Chi faced the infantry phalanx of the Northern Yan Army and the Yanmen Army, but they were never able to achieve an advantageous situation, but were once suppressed by the latter.
It would be nice to have another hour......
Yangquan Jun secretly felt sorry for himself.
In his opinion, as long as he was given another hour, he would be able to completely annihilate the Handan army on the northern battlefield, and then move south to support the Wei general Nanmenchi on the southern battlefield.
At that time, the Qin-Wei coalition will be able to win this war.
Of course, this is just his optimistic idea, after all, he is at a disadvantage on the battlefield in the south, and his own formation is attacked by the Yanmen cavalry, so why give him another hour?
"Collect the troops, in this battle, our army has achieved a great advantage."
As he spoke, Yang Quanjun waved his hand and shouted: "Pass my order, collect the troops and retreat!" β¦β¦ The battalions slowly retreated, beware of the pursuit of the Korean army. β
At the same time, in the main formation of the Korean army, Beiyan Shoule Yi was concentrating on looking at the main formation of the Qin and Wei coalition forces in the distance.
β¦β¦ Is it Li Mu?
After glancing at the battlefield on the right flank where the battle situation was rotten, and then at the battlefield on the left flank that was still stalemate, Le Yi let out a long breath of relief and ordered left and right: "Mingjin, collect the troops!" β
Hearing this, a general beside him was surprised and persuaded: "Collect the troops? General, this is a good opportunity to pursue the victory......"
Beiyan Shoule Yi looked at the attendant with an expressionless face, didn't explain anything, just said lightly: "This battle has been long enough. β¦β¦ Mingjin. β
ββ¦β¦ Be! β
A moment later, the Korean army's main formation also sounded the sound of "ding ding ding".
The local sound of the two armies made the Qin and Wei coalition forces and the Korean army, which were still fighting on the frontal battlefield, gradually stop fighting, and under the constraints of their respective generals, began to clean up the battlefield - mainly to take away the corpses of their own soldiers who died in battle.
Seeing this, Han gradually let go of the heart of Li Mu, the guard of the Yanmen.
He was really afraid that some Korean soldiers would not know the general situation and take the opportunity to attack the retreating Wei army, but fortunately, the Northern Yan Shoule Yi also withdrew his troops in time and announced the end of this war.
"Then, Li will take his leave!"
Separated by the close formation of dozens of zhang Shangshui soldiers, Li Mu, the guard of Yanmen, hugged his fists in the direction where Zhao Hongrun was.
In all fairness, Li Mu's smile is still very affinity, but for some reason, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but hate the smile on the other party's face.
The reason is very simple, because Zhao Hongrun ordered the collection of troops, although part of the reason is that he does not want to continue the senseless war of attrition as Li Mu said, but it is undeniable that the imminent threat of Li Mu's 3,000 Yanmen cavalry is also a very key factor.
"Humph! I don't send it! β
Zhao Hongrun replied with a wistful face.
Li Mu smiled slightly, and didn't care, beckoning the more than 2,000 Yanmen cavalry under his command to evacuate quickly, after all, the Qin-Wei coalition army on the frontal battlefield was rapidly retreating, and if it was blocked, it would not be good.
When evacuating, Li Mu glanced back at the direction where Zhao Hongrun was, and sighed secretly in his heart.
This time, he played a trick and led his troops to the main position of the Qin and Wei coalition forces, and through threats and persuasion, he forced that Wei Gongzirun to withdraw his troops, so what about next time?
The next time the army is engaged, that Wei Gongzirun will inevitably be vigilant, and when the time comes, it will not be so easy to repeat the old tricks.
I am afraid that the prosperity of Wei can no longer be stopped......
Li Mu secretly sighed.
By the time he returned to the Han army's main position, the Qin and Wei coalition forces had retreated from the battlefields on both flanks, and on the Han army's side, the Handan army, the Northern Yan army, and the Yanmen army were also licking their wounds.
"Is this the first time you've missed?"
When he saw Beiyan Shou Le Yi, Le Yi asked Li Mudao lightly.
Li Mu smiled indifferently when he heard this, and said, "Isn't it a success?" successfully forced back that Wei Gongzi. β
Le Yi smiled noncommittally, looked at the Qin-Wei coalition army in the distance, and said flatly: "What made you change your mind?" β¦β¦ I thought you would bring that Wei Gongzi back. β
ββ¦β¦ Probably, it's the other party's courage. β
Li Mu recalled for a moment, and Zhao Hongrun's figure holding a sharp sword and not retreating an inch came to mind, as well as the fighting posture of the four thousand merchant and naval troops under his command who were not afraid of death.
He didn't regret making that decision at that time, because he really didn't have the certainty of victory, and the momentum of the more than 4,000 merchant and water armies around Wei Gongzirun at that time was too strong, so powerful that Li Mu couldn't help but feel excited.
"It's fine." Beiyan Shou Leyi nodded and said, "It's not my wish to break the net when the fish dies." β
As soon as the words fell, they heard a few fast horses rushing beside them, Le Yi and Li Mu turned their heads to look, only to find that they were several heralds.
"Report! The cavalry general wanted to pursue the Qin army, but was stopped by Lord Tyrant. β
"......" Le Yi's eyebrows were raised, and his expression was inexplicable.
And Li Mu, who was beside him, opened his mouth after hearing it, and stopped talking, but in the end, Li Mu didn't say anything.
Although Li Mu didn't speak, Le Yi could still guess what he wanted to say, it was nothing more than to investigate the responsibility of the robbery.
You must know that today's battle is the first confrontation between the Qin and Wei coalition forces and the Korean army, and it stands to reason that they should test each other first, rather than start this kind of decisive battle as soon as they come up.
So, what is the reason that this war, which was originally just a test of each other, has turned into a decisive battle?
The reason is the mistake of the cavalry robbery - because of the distrust of Le Yi's judgment, the cavalry robbery failed to block the left flank of the Qin-Wei coalition army in time, and the second wave of offensive launched by the Qin general Tian Meng made 5,000 Iron Eagle cavalry successfully form a flanking attack on the Handan army on the right flank of the Korean army, so that Wei Gongzirun and Yangquanjun Yingyi saw the opportunity to win.
And if in the aid at that time, the cavalry robbed the two thousand Iron Eagle cavalry of the Qin general Tian Meng in time, the Handan army would not have exposed the rout, and that Wei Gongzirun would not have suppressed the 40,000 merchant and water troops in one go.
It may be that when the time comes, each side will send a few thousand people, and if you look at the reality of the other army, you will immediately end the first battle.
Half an hour later, the Qin-Wei coalition army took away the corpses and weapons and equipment of its own soldiers on the battlefield, and then withdrew from the battlefield, while the Han army also collected the corpses of its own soldiers afterwards, and under the constraints of the generals of the Qin-Wei coalition army and the Korean army, the two soldiers maintained restraint.
After the war, both sides counted their losses.
In this battle, the Qin and Wei coalition forces invested 45,000 Shang Shui troops, 6,000 Iron Eagle Qin cavalry, 8,000 Changge soldiers, 5,000 Ge shield soldiers, and 10,000 black face troops, totaling about 74,000 troops.
Among them, the Shang Shui Army suffered nearly 8,000 casualties, the Iron Eagle Qin Cavalry suffered 3,000 casualties, the Changge soldiers suffered more than 5,000 casualties, the Ge Dun soldiers suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, and the Black Mask Army suffered nearly 4,000 casualties, with a total of more than 23,000 casualties.
On the side of the Korean army, 30,000 Handan troops, 30,000 Northern Yan troops, 10,000 cavalry soldiers and 20,000 infantry soldiers were invested in this battle, totaling 90,000 people.
Among them, the Handan army suffered nearly 20,000 casualties, the Northern Yan army suffered 8,000 casualties, and the Yanmen army suffered 5,000 infantry and more than 3,000 cavalry, with a total of 36,000 casualties.
And this battle, that is, the Battle of Ningyi, which was about to shock the people of Wei and Han, was the largest and most tragic battle between the armies of the two countries since the start of the Third Northern Frontier Campaign of Wei and Han.
In one day, nearly 60,000 people were killed or wounded on both sides.
And this, still under the condition that Han General Li Mu persuaded Wei Gongzirun to retreat, otherwise, the casualties of the two armies would obviously increase.
Although the battle ended in a draw, both the Qin and Wei coalition forces and the Ningyi Han army suffered heavy casualties, and it was really a defeat for both sides.
Relatively speaking, the losses of the Qin-Wei coalition army were relatively light, after all, the Changge soldiers and the black-faced army of the Qin State were actually cannon fodder among the regular army and the irregular army, although it is unkind to say this, but it is undeniable that the losses of these two armies did not have much impact on the Qin-Wei coalition army.
What really distressed Zhao Hongrun, Qin Shaojun, Yangquanjun Yingyi and others were the casualties of the Shang Shui Army, the Iron Eagle Cavalry, and the Ge Dun Soldiers, after all, these three were the backbone of the Qin and Wei coalition forces.
In comparison, the situation of the South Korean army was even worse, first of all, the Handan army was almost defeated and almost existed in name, while the Northern Yan Army and the Yanmen Army, the two elite teams of South Korea, were among the best in South Korea, with 13,000 casualties.
After this battle, the Qin and Wei coalition retreated to Shanyang, and the Han army held Ningyi, and then for several days, there was no war, as if two wounded beasts, each went back to the nest to lick their wounds, and then did not fight.
It is worth mentioning that on the night of the outbreak of the Battle of Ningyi, Beiyan Shoule Yi and the deputy general rode against the commander in Ningyi City.
Originally, Le Yi didn't plan to severely punish the deputy general for riding robbery, after all, he still admired the bravery of riding robbery.
What's more, in the daytime battle, if it weren't for the cavalry, the Handan army would have been wiped out long ago.
Unexpectedly, the horse robbery who was questioned for the crime was emotional, refusing to admit that it was his own fault, but instead accusing Le Yi of having a problem with his command.
So, Le Yi, who was enraged, was dismissed from his military position on the spot and ordered someone to detain him.
That night, the cavalry's henchmen secretly released it, and the cavalry who calmed down realized that he could no longer stay in the Northern Yan Army, so he fled from Ningyi overnight and went to Ji County to join Kanggong Hanhu.
