Chapter 617: Slash 100,000
Luo Siye was covered in blood.
There was a sudden light pressure in front of him.
The Turks actually retreated.
Luo Siye was holding the Mo knife, gasping for breath, he didn't know how many times he swung the knife, he only felt that his arms were sore, and he was even unconscious.
Looking back around, there were three thousand Mo knife hands and knife and axe hands, and there were less than a thousand people still standing at this time.
As far as the eye could see, there was a towering iron armor everywhere.
They were surrounded by countless stumps and severed arms, human corpses and horse remains.
Every Mo knife hand and long axe hand who died in battle killed the enemy exponentially.
"General, the Turks have retreated."
"How did you get back? Could it be that Xue Yang's generals have already defeated the Turks? ”
"No, it's Hou Junji, he took the archers and cavalry to sneak attack the Chinese army Daxu of Gulphosheth, captured the silver wolf of Gulphosheth, and killed Philosher, the Turks were frightened, so they began to run."
Heiye was stunned.
Hou Junji?
That guy is so fierce? But he was just a school captain, because he saw that he was brave and humble, and he was more humble to ask for help, so Heiye also instructed him with his heart, he respected himself as a teacher, but Heiye didn't take it seriously.
Before, he was in charge of leading a thousand light cavalry as a reserve and guarding under the military flag, why did he run to kill the generals and capture the flag?
He shook his head and removed the iron helmet from his head.
His face was covered in sweat and blood.
Breathing heavily.
"Since the Turkic commander was killed in battle and the whole army was defeated and retreated, then let's take advantage of his illness to kill him, blow the horn, and pursue the whole army!"
Although every soldier of the Left First Army was exhausted, at this time they were still brave and continued to pursue the enemy.
Southern Route.
The news of the beheading of Livershher and the capture of the Silver Wolf soon spread.
When the Turkic generals who were inseparable from the Sui army heard this, they also began to abandon the battle and flee.
The Turks are never ashamed of defeat, let alone running away.
If the wind is not in the right direction, run first and then talk about it, and then come back.
As a result, the battlefield for more than ten miles was full of fleeing Turks.
And the Sui army finally began to pursue.
Especially Yang Yichen and other generals, at this time, they released the cavalry protected by the chariot formation.
These cavalrymen had been acting as archers before, and they were protected in the formation, and they were quite vigorous.
Bands of cavalry gathered and pursued the Turks.
Bow shooting, knife slashing, spear throwing.
The Turks retreated to the north one after another, and the Sui army pursued them all the way.
I chased it for thirty miles before I stopped.
The armies returned, cleaned the battlefield, treated the wounded, and counted the results.
Luo Siye was shirtless, and his body was wrapped with a belt, and the old injuries were not healed, and more than ten new injuries were added.
The Left Army suffered heavy casualties.
Originally, there were 25,000 people, and there were 15,000 fighters left before the war, but in this battle, more than 5,000 were killed and more than 1,000 were seriously injured, and minor injuries were not counted.
The Left First Army, which still had combat effectiveness, had only 8,000 men.
In the city of Laoxian, there were 5,000 wounded soldiers lying down.
The vast majority of the thousands of seriously wounded soldiers may not be saved, and only a small number may be lucky, but they may also be disabled for life.
The Hedong Hebei reinforcements led by Yang Yichen and other four generals set off from Taiyuan with 50,000 horses.
The first battle of Xinkou lost 10,000 people.
and then to the first battle of Laoxian, and lost more than 10,000 yuan.
They suffered more injuries than Luo Siye, especially those county soldiers and township soldiers suffered the most losses, they were not as brave as the elite soldiers of the government, and in this kind of war, the casualties were extremely heavy.
"Fortunately, in this battle, more than 13,000 Turkic heads were killed, and more than 8,000 prisoners were captured, which is not a loss." Dugu said.
This Dugu usurper was awarded the governor of Beiping and the Taishou, commanding the military and political affairs of the three counties such as Yuyang in Beiping, and was knighted as the Duke of Zhao, but he was the uncle and cousin of the current emperor. Dugu's grandfather is Dugu Xin, one of the Eight Pillars, his aunt is the lonely queen of Emperor Wen, and his father Dugu Luo, he is the eldest son of Dugu Luo, and his ability is not very strong, but after all, the emperor is a relative of the country.
Li Jing shook his head.
"In this battle, we killed a total of 16,000 and seriously wounded more than 2,000, which is not a minor injury, but we only killed 13,000 Turks and captured 8,000 prisoners, no matter how you count it, it is a loss."
"Didn't he capture the younger brother of Shibi, Liversh, and take the silver wolf?" Dugu was quite satisfied with the result.
Luo Cheng smiled.
"It's true that he took the silver wolf, but he didn't kill Liversheth, who was just the standard-bearer who killed him, and Liversheth ran fast and didn't catch up. So at that time, Hou Junji, the captain under my command, carried the head of his standard-bearer and claimed that he had killed him, but the effect was good, and the Turks fled in fear. ”
When everyone heard it, it turned out that Liversh was not dead, but after laughing, he didn't care.
Anyway, it won.
After the convergence of the two roads, there are now nearly 40,000 people.
"I suggest resting in Lao County for two days first!"
Dugu U proposed.
Everyone also wants to rest, but they don't know the situation in Yanmen yet.
"Let's rest while marching, saving soldiers is like fighting fires, it's already September now, and Yanmen has been besieged for more than 20 days." Luo Siye said.
Yang Yichen, Li Jing, and Xue Shixiong also mean this.
In the end, it was decided that all the minor and seriously injured should stay in Lao County.
Several soldiers and horses, and finally gathered 30,000 horses, rested in Laoxian for the night, and then marched to Yanmen the next day.
Yanmen.
He was carried away by the defeated army and fled for dozens of miles, and finally collected some defeated soldiers, but looking at this panicked defeated army, he didn't have the heart to go back to fight again.
It is estimated that the war will not be able to fight.
So he simply collected the defeated soldiers along the way while heading north, and when he arrived at the foot of Yanmen City, he also collected about 30,000 defeated soldiers, and some of the defeated soldiers did not know where they had gone.
Over there, Shibi Khan was still worried about Yanmen City.
The tenacity of the defenders of Yanmen City greatly surprised him.
Although the daily siege of the city also constantly kills and injures the defenders in the city, until now, Yanmen City has no intention of surrendering.
And his strong attack during this period of time also brought great damage.
After more than 20 days of siege, Shibi has lost about 50,000 horses. Although he killed and wounded about 70,000 Sui troops in comparison, there was nothing to be happy about.
After all, he had 300,000 soldiers and horses entering Yanmen, and the next strength of Yanmen City reached 200,000.
When he saw the embarrassed way of Liver's escape, he was furious.
Previously, Laoxian County lost more than 10,000 men and horses, and later reported that Xinkou was defeated and lost more than 10,000, and now only 30,000 defeated soldiers have returned.
Calculated and calculated, it was nearly 70,000.
This is more than his loss in Yanmen, and he only lost 50,000 yuan before and after.
With the addition of the two phases, isn't it true that 120,000 horses have been damaged after attacking Yanmen?
He said that there were still some defeated soldiers who were not captured, and it was estimated that there were about 120,000 more.
But even so, it would be a loss of no less than 100,000.
Even if some of the soldiers and horses are just non-descendant tribes, such as the Mobei Tiele Zhubu, the Jinshan Sogdian Zhuhu, etc., no matter what, they are also his Turkic people.
"Report!"
"Great Khan, Khan Court Kedun sent someone to send an urgent letter, saying that the Sui general Luo Cheng led tens of thousands of loyal troops to kill in Monan, and the troops have forced the Khan Court City, please send the Great Khan to speed up the troops to help!"
