The sound of the grassland battle sounded, after Li Jing's light cavalry entered the battlefield, the situation on the battlefield changed, when the Xuanjia heavy cavalry came slowly, it became the last straw that crushed the enemy, in front of the Xuanjia heavy cavalry, the Tatars had no chance to resist at all, they were knocked to the ground by the Xuanjia iron cavalry, and finally they were trampled by the iron cavalry, and they died no longer dead.

More than 100,000 troops are scattered on the grassland, fleeing everywhere, the casualties scream again and again, the Tatars have been unable to form some defenses, the army led by Boyan blossomed inside, Li Jing's light cavalry fought outside, after the two armies converged, the three armies were invincible, and the Tatars who were killed retreated again and again.
"Defeated, the Tatars defeated." I don't know when, there was a mountain cry on the battlefield, and the Tatars who were fighting quickly gave up the battle after struggling for a while, and fled instead, even Tohai knew that defeat was inevitable, and under the impact of the Xuanjia cavalry, the Tatars had no chance to resist at all, and the ubiquitous magic arrows seemed to be staring at Tohai, and the killed Tohai didn't even have the opportunity to command the army, so he could only hide in the shadows, thinking about what kind of way to escape Hua Rong's arrows, Where is the opportunity to command a large army.
It wasn't until he fled with the chaotic army that he breathed a sigh of relief, at least he didn't have to be so cowardly, but at the same time, he felt even more bitter in his heart, and the hundreds of thousands of troops were under Li Jing's internal and external attacks, and he was about to flee to the depths of the grassland, and he couldn't even go back to Zhenzhou.
"Chase, you must chase and kill a hundred miles." Li Jing didn't care, leaving Boyan to collect his pawns, and he led the light cavalry to continue the pursuit, followed closely behind Tohai, and chased towards the north. One pursued from noon to the evening before returning to the camp.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving me." Boyan had already changed his armor again, he stood at the gate and saw Li Jing riding Zhu Long coming slowly, and hurriedly bowed down.
"General Boyan, you have won a battle today! The Tatars who were killed fled in disarray, and only about one-third of the hundreds of thousands of troops could go back, not even half. Li Jing jumped off the horse with a smile and helped Boyan up.
"If the king had not come to his rescue, I am afraid that the last general would have been killed by the Tatars. Where can you make meritorious contributions. Boyan glanced at Li Jing, and saw that Li Jing's eyes were red, his face was thin, and his lips were chapped, where was the original high-spirited appearance, it was clearly caused by the long-distance march, not only Li Jing, but also the soldiers behind him had a tired look on their faces, and their mood was even more excited, and they hurriedly said: "It's all the incompetence of the last general, and it is the sin of the last general to be so tired when it involves the king's thousands of miles of marching, resulting in such exhaustion." ”
"That's not true, this king still had a good rest last night!" Li Jing patted Boyan on the shoulder and said: "This time the Guards were able to run long distances, laying the foundation for the next attack on the enemy, although there were small losses, but capturing so many Tatars can be regarded as a gain, at least it will not lose money." ”
The long-distance march is not only a test of people's physical strength, but also a test of the endurance of the war horse, Li Jing's army is one person and three horses, people do not stop, thousands of miles of march, the soldiers are tired, after a fight, the loss is more, but the war horse is even more so, 90,000 war horses survived in the end only 60,000 people, and one-third of the war horses fell on the way, or died on the battlefield.
"General Boyan, the king didn't sleep all night last night!" As soon as Li Jing's words fell, he heard Hua Rong behind him couldn't help but speak. In fact, the big war is imminent, and this battle is related to whether Li Jing can completely seize the entire western grassland, and everyone else can sleep, but Li Jing can't sleep.
"Your Majesty." Boyan's voice was choked, and he lowered his head and said: "It's all because the ministers are incompetent and don't guard against the Tatars, so they let the Tatars go south." ”
"Okay, not only me, but also the soldiers are tired, General Boyan will work hard for the time being, collect the soldiers, treat the wounded, and then let the soldiers who are not injured rest for a while, and tomorrow morning, the king will continue to march." Li Jing patted Boyan on the shoulder and said, "As for your credit for defeating the Tatars this time, you can only wait until later to make a reward." ”
"The king still wants to attack?" Bo Yan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "The Tatars have suffered heavy losses, even if they return to Zhenzhou, the ministers can unify the entire western part of the grassland within half a year." Why bother the king to personally expedition to Zhenzhou. ”
"It's not Zhenzhou, it's not the Tatars, Tohai fled back to Zhenzhou, there must be no chance of a comeback, what I'm worried about is the Jin people, the Jin people are now attacking Yunzhou, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses on the territory of the Bai Dadan people, they obviously want to stop you from rescuing Yunzhou, since the Jin people have appeared, we have to fight back!" Li Jing smiled: "Don't give him a lesson, I really think that I, Li Jing, am easy to bully, now that we have defeated the Tatars, the Jin people must not know, take advantage of this time difference, give him a lesson, and even give the Jin people of Yunzhou a lesson." ”
"The king." Only then did Boyan understand that Li Jing's goal was no longer on the Tatars, Tohai was no longer qualified to compete with Li Jing for the grassland, and only Jin was Li Jing's biggest enemy, so he would lock his eyes on Jin Ren, and even regardless of his own exhaustion, he also wanted to give Jin Ren a hard blow.
Li Jing patted Boyan on the shoulder, and entered the big tent, it was just as Hua Rong said, Li Jing couldn't remember how long he hadn't slept, those soldiers could tie themselves to their horses to rest, but Li Jing still had to think about how to defeat the Tatars, physically and mentally exhausted, and now after defeating the Tatars, he was completely relieved and could sleep peacefully.
In the distant Luoyang, Li Fu had a peaceful face, and Cai Jing walked in the Guanghua Temple in Luoyang, and there were many people following not far behind him, but no one approached the two, and he didn't know what the two were talking about, only that the two of them came from time to time with bursts of laughter.
"I heard that the king was originally going to worship Zhaoling in Chang'an, why don't you go now?" Cai Jing said with a smile.
"Is the king's whereabouts to be guessed by his courtiers?" Li Fu shook his head and said, "But what is certain is that it will not be long before the king's good news comes." If the king doesn't make a move, it doesn't matter, once he does, there will be good news. ”
"Really?" Cai Jing looked at Li Fu with a smile, shook his head, but was proud in his heart, in his opinion, although the court had to pay a huge price for giving Youzhou to Li Jing, but if Li Jing could lose Yunzhou, it would also be a very happy thing. What happened on the grassland, even if it reached Li Jing's ears, the road was far away, thousands of miles away, and Li Jing couldn't do anything if he couldn't reach it. Li Fu's move was just an attempt to conceal the truth of the matter.
