The first group left in less than half an hour almost after the battle, and the second group after an hour.

This group is the prisoners, some soldiers, as well as logistical supplies, of course, and captures, these are led by a group of carriages that have been improvised together, and in the back of the captives, they are slowly advancing, this is the most important group, fortunately, it is also the group with the most vehicles.

Their speed is slow, only less than 10 miles, that is, the speed of ordinary walking, such a speed of course cannot last, from ancient times to the present, there are not many armies, in a distance of marching, maintaining a speed of about 60 miles a day.

However, there is no problem in a day, 6 hours of continuous marching is enough for any tough guy not to lift his legs, but Lingzhou is an absolutely safe place, as long as you enter Lingzhou, everything is safe.

At a speed of 10 miles per hour, it will take at least 3 hours to reach Lingzhou from this place, which is a long time, but Han Qi feels that it can still be sought.

If the Liao army was pursuing, he absolutely did not hesitate to give up this part of the baggage and chose to leave immediately, but the Liao army did not.

The survivors of the Western Xia or the Liao State, they reluctantly escaped with their lives under the pursuit of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it took time to report to the Liao State.

It is at least 60 miles away from Xingqing Mansion, according to the Western Xia army fled to Xingqing Mansion for 1 hour, and the Liao State decided and prepared for 1 hour, and then came over for another hour, so it should be safe.

Whether you can do your best or not, in fact, depends on the last batch.

These two are the two most critical parts, one part represents the highest harvest value, and the other is the loot and materials, simply millions of long arrows and hundreds of thousands of armor-piercing arrows are enough for Han Qi to pay attention to, these things, even if they are purchased in the Daimyo's Mansion, require considerable funds.

Han Qi's actions have already considered the worst of things, the Liao State has already shown terrible malice, specially made a team of iron harriers for a sneak attack, as long as the news is reached, it will definitely come over, this point cannot have any luck mentality.

The Northern Song Dynasty did not have to make any reservations, they had to go to Lingzhou as much as possible, at all costs, of course, they could keep the livestock as much as possible, and it was also the case that it was divided into three parts.

If you can't keep it, give up the slowest sheep, which has now been divided into three parts, the cows and horses that run faster like this, go ahead of time, and the slowest sheep, plus the finishing touches, search for enough supplies from the battlefield as much as possible.

This part of the crew will be on the battlefield, stop for about an hour, and then set off, and of the three groups, they are the slowest, of course, the absolute speed, a little higher than the previous second part.

Under the help of skilled herdsmen, the speed of the sheep is a little faster than that of the people on foot.

If it is a scientific choice, it should be the slowest to go first, and strive to reach the same time.

But Han Qi didn't dare to gamble, and he didn't even dare to gamble with funds worth more than 4.5 million yuan, in case this part can't go back, then the biggest gain in this battle will no longer exist, which is also unacceptable.

This is also the fundamental reason why he knew that the Liao State might have malicious intentions, and even made preparations, but there was a glimmer of hope, and the Song army was still there, that is, this amount of cattle could not be refused.

The army will return quickly with the second group, and once attacked, when he finds that he cannot be defeated, he will choose to leave behind the prisoners and supplies and leave immediately, leaving 5,000 cavalry for the last part.

This is already the biggest concession made by Han Qi, because in such a war, only 5,000 heavy cavalry can play a role, and the rest is just to add to the chaos, in terms of money and the army, more is to consider the army.

Han Qi's series of expectations, in fact, have been realized, perhaps because Liao Xingzong had some confidence in Western Xia, or maybe the Northern Song Dynasty fought too fast.

The Liao State did not send to chase the Western Xia army, but in the Western Xia army, a few were left, mainly responsible for monitoring and liaison, and did not send Tanma to follow.

In Liao's view, the Western Xia army has a considerable advantage, and they are just waiting for news.

From the beginning to the end, less than an hour, the vast majority of the Western Xia army did not escape, only in the end, some people took advantage of the chaos to escape, and under the pursuit of the horses and the pursuers, they fled for their lives in a hurry, that is, after a few hours, they remembered what to do.

It was already 6 hours in the evening when the Liao army was really reported.

From morning to evening, for a full 7 hours, these remnants of the defeated generals encountered some obstacles when they arrived at Xingqing Mansion.

really knew this result, it was already late at night, and Liao Xingzong was worried about the sneak attack of the Northern Song Dynasty, so he set off the next day. Even if the speed of the Liao army is extremely fast, the dispatch is only one person with two horses, or even three heavy horses, and it is already at least 15 hours later.

A total of more than 60 miles of distance, 30 hours, even if 2 miles an hour, also finished, in fact, 3 hours, the first batch has arrived in Lingzhou, more than 6 hours later, in the determination of not far from Lingzhou, the army also broke away from the second group, the first to return to Lingzhou.

When both are safe, the third group and the heavy cavalry remain.

Don't worry about the heavy cavalry, Han Qi believes in the commander of the cavalry very much, he knows that he will make the best choice, a total of 400,000 sheep, if you give up, it is a pity, when you really encounter force majeure, there is no way.

After using the new equipment, the speed of the new heavy cavalry should be above the Liao army, as long as it is not accidentally surrounded, it should be able to guarantee the escape.

The third batch is a little slow, not only is the dispatch slow, but the walk is not too fast, it is estimated that it will take at least ten hours to be able to walk back.

Even Han Qi didn't expect that Liao Guo would give them 30 hours of time, which is equivalent to giving them a night's time.

After walking for a whole day, for the last team, it can definitely be called using perseverance to hurry, and in the end, almost in the herdsmen's riding and persistence, they rushed to the Lingzhou side.

Not only are the herdsmen exhausted, but the sheep are also tired enough, and even if the herdsmen migrate on a large scale, they will not travel for 15 hours in a row.

Therefore, at least half of these nourishments have been affected because of continuous travel, and they have either lost fat or died.

Although it is said that in the northwest, killing sheep and eating meat is a very luxurious thing, in the northwest, because of the relationship between more sheep, the price of a sheep is less than 700 Wen, but in Bianliang, the price of a pound of mutton has reached more than 130 Wen, so to speak, 1 yuan, even 10 catties of lamb can not be bought.

According to an adult sheep, 80-100 catties of gross weight, out of about 40 catties of lean meat, the price of a sheep in Bianliang may be as high as 5 guan.

Aside from the cost of transportation, it is also quite amazing, it can send 400,000 sheep to Lingzhou completely, whether it is sold or eaten, it is very cost-effective, even according to the lowest price, it is more than 300,000 yuan.

When the last batch of supplies and sheep arrived, Han Qi was completely settled, and this time the implementation of Xingqing Mansion was equivalent to saying that it was a perfect end, even more perfect than imagined.

This time, Xingqing Mansion executed, not to mention the seizure from Lingzhou, Liao Xingzong gave, even if it was the last battle, a 40,000 horses, including 15,000 elite iron harrier war horses, these were carefully selected and cultivated in Western Xia, and each horse could be sold for more than 1,000 yuan in the Northern Song Dynasty.

War horses are definitely a scarce type of military in the Northern Song Dynasty, and any one that appears in the hinterland of the Northern Song Dynasty will cause competition.

Of course, such a price is a minority, at most a few hundred horses are sold, the reason why the boutique war horse, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the price is so expensive, the reason is that the scarcity is expensive, under the premise of a large number of horses and ordinary horses, the boutique war horse and the horse are expensive, but really put 40,000 horses on the market, and do not let the whole price fall off a cliff.

This is definitely what Han Qi does not want to see, as the largest number of war horses in the entire seizure, and the most expensive war horse, Han Qi has no intention of selling it.

The longbow is an excellent role, and it is worthy of the main arms, especially in this battle, 40,000 longbowmen against 30,000 iron harriers, in the field, the battle is victorious, this is the victory of the longbow, but it also exposes the problem.

What will happen if the two armies face each other and there is no time for a sneak attack, or if the strength of the longbow is exposed, and the other party does not fight with you in the field, but keeps mobilizing you.

The longbow can be ridden on horseback and can also have a certain amount of mobility, but compared with regular cavalry, there is still a gap.

True cooperation is a perfect match, especially in the war with the nomads, a reliable heavy cavalry team is the real key.

In many cases, it can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and to a certain extent, it is a relatively mobile type of troops.

The role played by the longbowmen in frontal battles and even in limited field battles is much greater than that played by heavy cavalry, and much larger.

Oppress with the strength of the cavalry and let them harvest with a longbow in the prescribed direction, this is the right thing to do, and the opponent can't run away.

Before the change, the formation of a cavalry force of more than 10,000 people, is a fantasy, under the control of the Western Xia and Liao, can not reach a considerable number at all, the entire northwest, plus the support of Bianliang, only to get together 5,000 heavy cavalry, including not very qualified horses, tens of thousands of main cavalry is simply impossible.

In the past, there were no qualified war horses, but now with the gift of Liao, as well as these captures, as long as they are cultivated wholeheartedly, slowly, in a short period of time, they will pull up a main cavalry team of 20,000 people, and there are nearly 40,000 people, which is similar to the previous cavalry, this is all the main forces, enough to support the development in a short time.
