Although the shadow was buried, Xiao Hui was not flustered, because at this time, although he felt that something was wrong, he did not realize that this would be a turning point to change the Liaoxia War, otherwise, he would definitely recommend Liao Xingzong to withdraw his troops, or just carry a part of the cavalry, attack and attack the Western Xia, and teach them a lesson, instead of the battle to destroy the country.

In any case, this short encounter was finally a big victory, and its own losses were negligible, but it annihilated the 25,000 Western Xia army, including 5,000 cavalry.

As the biggest hero of this battle, Zhou Wenxiu is also at the highest moment, not only does everyone look at him differently, but even his subordinates are extremely glorious.

Zhou Wenxiu's appearance, especially Xiao Hui's attention, in fact, many people are not happy.

In the Liao State, although the Han people gradually entered the political situation, and even held some official positions like the governor of the government, but to a certain extent, the Han people were only civil officials, and the military attachés were only minor officials, for example, city gate officials, and team officials.

It can be regarded as having generals, but most of these generals are title generals, they are honored positions, and they are not responsible for leading troops to fight.

Zhou Wenxiu, from a civil official of eight or nine grades, directly became the commander of a thousand horses, which is more or less dissatisfied, especially the self-proclaimed fierce general, a Han general, what kind of battle can he fight.

But in this battle, Zhou Wenxiu proved the correctness of becoming a general with an unmistakable performance, the warriors, the mentality is not so many twists and turns, in the army, it is the supremacy of force, no matter what, thousands of horsemen broke 10,000 people, directly laid the victory of this battle, which is not something that ordinary force can do.

How could such a general with outstanding force not let the bushes want to see it?

Compared with others, Xiao Hui was more satisfied with Zhou Wenxiu's performance at this time, and it can be said unceremoniously that he was the focus of victory or defeat.

In this battle, Xiao Hui's command is the most important, without Xiao Hui's command, even at a critical moment, the Chinese army moves, attacks the opponent's main force of the Chinese army, forcing the other party to not flee quickly, this is the key to achieving results, but Zhou Wenxiu's assault is also essential, he played a role in promoting the battle, and even laying the foundation for victory.

If it was the original plan, Xiao Hui would not choose to attack, and in an hour, end the battle, he will gradually pull, in the slow contact, looking for a chance to win.

It's still a breakthrough with foot soldiers, but this time will drag on for a long, long time, at least, there is no day, and the battle will definitely not be solved.

9,000 people against 10,000 people, the cavalry is at a disadvantage, not to mention 20,000 foot soldiers, with the help of strength sometimes, gradually accumulate advantages, a little snowball, gradually amplify, and finally turn the advantage into a victory.

In this way, the time will drag on for a long time, and at dusk or in the afternoon, under the continuous attack, their confidence will be broken, and in the end, the army will be defeated.

However, Zhou Wenxiu's martial arts made him change his approach, and finally settled the battle in an hour. It can be said unceremoniously that Zhou Wenxiu's combat power, even in the entire Liao State, is rare, not to mention the overall ability, military strategy, and battle formation, which ordinary Liao generals are not good at, he is good at, this is a rare commander.

This is the biggest surprise, Xiao Hui himself is a fierce general, when he was young, he was also considered to be the champion of the three armies, in the gradual war, he slowly mastered some things, and through learning, he applied these things to the war, which became a rare commander of the Liao State.

It is precisely because of experience that you will know how difficult it is for such a commander, and his contemporaries, there is almost no possibility to get to this point, others, the younger ones, the brave are brave, and even some of them are more brave than what Zhou Wenxiu shows now, but there is nothing brave.

Powerful and brainless, this is the unified evaluation of young and even senior generals, maybe a miracle will happen, they will grow their brains in the future.

This is also Xiao Hui's most powerless, he deeply knows how difficult it is to transform from a fierce general to a qualified commander, he is also a coincidence, and even in the end, under the influence of the teacher, he seriously studied some military strategies, and even some Han books, mostly history books.

On the grassland, the competition of simple manpower is just the courage of a horseman, a real general, you don't need these, only know yourself and know your opponent, understand the laws of military affairs, and you can become a commander.

This is also after the age of forty or fifty, with the decline of strength, Xiao Hui is no longer the only brave he used to be, but it is even more terrifying, and the role of the battle formation and the military is also greater.

Before, I also valued a few, but let these fierce generals train to kill the enemy, this is no problem, they can do it easily, but let them read and learn military strategies, which is difficult.

These Khitan generals themselves feel that they are a head higher than the Han people and the Northern Song Dynasty, why should they study their military books, isn't this forgetting their roots, even if Xiao Hui is pressing, it is the same, and they don't care about it at all.

Just when Xiao Hui was about to give up, such a young embryo appeared, and he was still outstanding in force, of course he was very happy, and his reward was also increased.

As the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, King Han, Xiao Hui has the ability to open accounts and establish a system, and he was also very optimistic about Zhou Wenxiu before, and promoted him to the position of a thousand cavalry commanders, which is already the limit, which is almost the maximum extent of Han officers and leading troops.

Those Han people still bring local troops, even foot soldiers, and there are very few cavalry, let alone elite cavalry.

It is on the basis of the contribution of the Zhou family that all this has been achieved.

But now, without arguing the merits, 10,000 people have been defeated and more than 10,000 prisoners have been captured, and such feats are still happening under the noses of important people.

When Xiao Hui announced the reward for Zhou Wenxiu in the big tent of the Chinese army, there was no objection, Xiao Hui crossed the ordinary general and gave Zhou Wenxiu a miscellaneous general, and no one objected to this.

This is also because Zhou Wenxiu is a Han Chinese, if it is a Khitan, with his merits, he can directly bypass the position of a general and become a general, which is the second person in the general's mansion after the general.

Zhou Wenxiu used his own military exploits and his own bravery to swipe his sense of existence, attack power, adaptability, and military exploits in front of the generals under the command of the North Courtyard.

Zhou Wenxiu has achieved the position of a thousand cavalry commanders, and now, he has been promoted one step further and has become a miscellaneous general who commands an army, which is not a low promotion.

Ordinary promotions, centurions, thousands, and thousands, it seems that there are more and more people in command, but as long as they are not generals, at most they are just generals or commanders under a certain tribe, and they are not allowed to have the ability to lead troops alone.

But generals, even the most junior miscellaneous generals, have the ability to lead an army and fight alone, and the things in between are very subtle.

Xiao Hui's purpose is the same, Captain Wan, even the more respected Captain Wan, it seems that his position has risen and he has brought more people, but more of them are false positions, Xiao Hui's account, there are at least 12 Captains, even if his soldiers and horses are only 60,000.

But these people, fierce and fierce, but they have no brains, Xiao Hui didn't even dare to let them lead the troops alone, God knows, how many traps they will encounter.

However, in the frontal charge, these fierce generals charged forward, under his orders and commands, rushed into battle to kill the enemy, which was done very well, and this is also the purpose of this establishment.

On the contrary, it is a real general, Xiao Hui does not have many under his banner, and the only few are not very reliable, but the appearance of Zhou Wenxiu makes him attach great importance to it, a good general can command up to 5,000 people, which is also Xiao Hui's greatest expectation for him, if possible, even the elite cavalry will be divided into half to him.

With Zhou Wenxiu's state in the previous battle, it can be said unceremoniously that it was really given to him, and it was nothing, maybe under his men, he would play a greater role, and he could better sit in the Chinese army.

Xiao Hui is such a smart person, coupled with the importance of Zhou Wenxiu, he knows very well how difficult it is for a person who has been airborne to master an army, and when the time comes, even if he has great ability, he will not be able to exert it.

Therefore, the general is just a title, and he did not send enough troops, for the time being, it belongs to Zhou Wenxiu, only about 2,000.

However, these 2,000 people, the key is the new cavalry established by Zhou Wenxiu, these cavalry have been on the battlefield, established meritorious service, in the battle against Yeli Rongxing, Zhou Wenxiu did not say, the other 1000 heavy cavalry, also played a role, not Zhou Wenxiu so amazing, but also remarkable, one-on-one premise, defeated the opponent's 1000 cavalry.

At the beginning, these new heavy riders that no one valued became fragrant, and several generals under Xiao Hui were very interested in them.

Now, all of this belongs to Zhou Wenxiu, which shows that Xiao Hui also has good intentions for Zhou Wenxiu.

The new troops also mean that the factions are not particularly obvious, especially the factions at the bottom, which makes it convenient for Zhou Wenxiu to control this unit, and more importantly, these soldiers, because they were trained at about the same time as Zhou Wenxiu, are relatively familiar.

A new type of heavy cavalry with outstanding combat effectiveness, an easy-to-master, and relatively familiar unit, is equivalent to saying that Zhou Wenxiu's strength has doubled, but more importantly, under Xiao Hui, the general who commands 5,000 people is enough to enter the command class and can participate in high-level meetings, which is what Zhou Wenxiu is looking forward to the most.
