Chapter 1434: After the War
Wan Yan Zongbi sat on the war horse, looking at the battle in the distance, his face showed a trace of gloom and solemnity, the war has been fought until now, and the Tang army has not yet been taken, and the enemy's front has not collapsed, which is obviously unexpected by Wan Yan Zongbi.
"When we dealt with the Khitans, although the Khitan soldiers and horses were brave, at this time, they could have collapsed, and they were not our opponents at all, but look at these Tang troops, who are also steppe people, fighting until now, we have already had an advantage, and even besieged the enemy, but the enemy is still struggling to resist, which shows the courage of the Tang army." Wanyan Zongbi looked into the distance and raised his whip and said.
"No matter how brave the soldiers are, they are useless in front of our golden iron cavalry, and they will soon be defeated by us." The minions around him hurriedly comforted. They are very confident in themselves, and now that the enemy is besieged, as long as there is enough time, they can deal with these 100,000 people, which is a great victory.
"General, Brother Xiao Wei has been killed, and General Wanyan is collecting men and horses to attack the rear flank of the Tang Army." In the distance, cavalry galloped towards them, shouting loudly.
"Dead? Brother Xiao Wei is dead? Wanyan Zongbi laughed when he heard this, raised his horsewhip, pointed to the distance and said: "Pass my order, take the head of Brother Xiao Wei, order the army, and order the Tang army to surrender." Haha, it's finally dead, and the Tang Army grassland is no longer empty. destroyed Brother Xiao Wei and surrounded Boyan, and since then there have been no cavalry generals under Li Jing. ”
"Brother Xiao Wei is dead, Brother Xiao Wei is dead, those who descend will not be killed." After receiving the order, the soldiers immediately formed a team of 100 people, rushed around, and shouted loudly, just to shake the heart of the Tang army and easily defeat the other party. The Tang army, which had already been besieged, was stunned at first, and soon became panicked. The morale of the army was indeed affected.
"Datang will win." Xiao Yan held the sword in his hand, raised his arms fiercely and shouted, and shouted loudly: "The Tang Dynasty will win, the sons of the three armies, follow me to kill the enemy." ”
"Datang will win." Regardless of the injuries on his body, the soldiers around Xiao Yan raised their arms and shouted, waving the weapons in their hands, with a fanatical face, whether it was for the lives of their own families, or for the legendary glory and loyalty, they let out bursts of angry roars, these roars shook the sky, and the morale of the originally turbulent military heart suddenly rose.
Wanyan Zongbi in the distance had a gloomy face, and he never thought that the Tang Army would still have such combat effectiveness and morale at this time. Suddenly, a word came to him. The mourning soldiers will win. Faintly, I regretted it in my heart, I knew that I wouldn't have ordered someone to pass on the news. But at this moment it was too late, and the morale of the enemy had already risen to its peak.
"Destroy them." Wanyan Zongbi took a deep breath, pulled out the war knife at his waist, and said loudly: "The whole army charges, annihilate all the enemies in front of you, and kill them all." "The morale of the Tang army is so high, Wanyan Zongbi has given up on surrendering, and what he wants is to defeat all the enemies in front of him.
Brother Xiao Wei is very kind to the soldiers under his command on weekdays, and he is loved by the soldiers, plus the Tang Army is treated very well, and the families of the officers and soldiers in the army are treated preferentially, even if he dies in battle, he can also ensure that his family is worry-free, and he was suddenly killed at this time, which naturally aroused the anger in the hearts of the soldiers. What's more, these people are in the grassland, so they naturally know the rules on the grassland, once the warriors of the tribe are defeated, the family will be slaves, and life and death are in the hands of others. This is too far from Datang.
The war is still going on, and there is no other sound on the battlefield except for the sound of fighting, whether it is Xiao Yan or Xiao Shi, they have already extinguished the idea of breaking through, what they want is to kill everything in front of them, even if they die in battle, they have to pull a cushion.
The battle did not come to an end until the evening, the battlefield was full of corpses, some war horses roamed on the battlefield, making a burst of wailing sounds, it seemed that the surroundings were particularly desolate, black armor covered the entire grassland, and the blood had already soaked into the soil, staining the soil red. In addition to the black armor, there are also some various leather armor, these are the golden army, the corpses of both sides are entangled with each other, their faces are hideous, the two sides hug each other tightly, and you can vaguely see the two sides fighting before death.
Xiao Yan died in battle, the corpses were no longer found, Xiao Shi led thousands of remnants of the defeated generals, broke out of the encirclement by night, and fled, no one knew where to flee, and some Tang troops took advantage of the chaos to flee to all directions, and disappeared. Although Wanyan Zongbi had the heart to pursue, after all, he annihilated 100,000 Tang troops, the soldiers were tired, and his own 100,000 troops also suffered heavy losses.
Wanyan Zongbi rode a high-headed horse and looked at everything in front of him, Wanyan Hulazy beside him had a gloomy face, and all the generals did not have a good look on their faces. The Jin people won the victory, but the losses were also very large, most of the losses of the hundreds of thousands of troops, these were killed in the desperate resistance of the Tang army, what made him even more angry was that after the Tang army got the news of Xiao Weige's death, not only did not rout, but fought back more fiercely, and most of the Jin soldiers were killed at that time. Therefore, Jin Ren did not have much smile on his face, but his mood was extremely heavy.
"If the Tang army is like this, if we want to unify the grasslands, I am afraid that the losses of hundreds of thousands of troops will be even greater." Wanyan Zongbi said in a low voice: "Li Jing is the most powerful enemy of my Dajin, fortunately His Majesty personally conquered this time, otherwise, it will only be a year before we fail." ”
Wanyan Zongbi knew in his heart that if it weren't for Wanyan Sheng's concealment from the sky and the sea, the sound of attacking the west, and suddenly, leading the army to the west and killing Li Jing was caught off guard, at this time, he would solve Brother Xiao Wei and eliminate the main force of the Tang Dynasty on the grassland. But although the result was achieved, the price was also very scary. It made Wanyan Zongbi feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
"Simply that the victory has been won, and now the question in front of you is what to do next. Westward, or north? Wanyan Hulu shook his horsewhip in boredom, no matter how many people died, it was nothing to Wanyan Hulazy, there were many people on the grassland, killing batch after batch, as long as the time was enough, he could defeat the enemy in front of him.
Advancing westward is to seize Wuchuan and other places, completely drive Li Jing's forces out of the grassland, and go north, which is to exterminate Boyan, and also to solve Li Jing's arms. Wan Yan Zongbi frowned, both of which have pros and cons.
"What do you think is the right thing to do now?" Wanyan Zongbi thought about it and asked.
"Go west and attack Wuchuan. Anyway, Boyan's soldiers and horses were dragged by His Majesty the Emperor. We just need to seize Wuchuan, cut off the connection between Li Jing and the grassland, and then calmly solve Boyan. Wan Yan Yu said without thinking about it.
