Chapter 107: Return to the city with a great victory

Zhao Ziliang did not think that the Tuqi Shi people were completely defeated, he did not dare to be careless, and took advantage of the chaos and signs of defeat of the Tuqi Shi people, and immediately ordered: "The baggage battalion continues to fire Fuyuan crossbows and arm crossbows, the first battalion continues to suppress with bows and arrows on the left and right banks, and the other battalions immediately go ashore from the left and right sides to chase and kill!" ”

"No!"

After the order was given, the baggage battalion stood still and kept firing crossbow arrows, while the other battalions quickly put away their bows and arrows, took out their weapons and went ashore from the left and right sides to chase and kill.

Hit by the bows and arrows of the Tang soldiers on the left and right banks, the turkish rebels who had already shown signs of rout and fled could only flee from the original road, as long as they turned around and rushed to the shore, they would immediately be taken care of by the bow and arrows.

The Tang army on the ice had Zhao Ziliang's instructions in advance, and they all tied dry grass to their shoes, although it was not as good as walking on flat ground, but their mobility was greatly enhanced, and the Tang soldiers quickly boarded the left and right banks to catch up from the shore to the front.

After converging with the first battalion of the Tang army on both sides of the riverbank, the Tang army that caught up immediately took over the task of suppressing the bow and arrow, and under the order of Zhao Ziliang, the first battalion quickly brought the war horses over and turned them into cavalry, and Zhao Ziliang gave them the task of chasing and killing the turkish soldiers who came ashore along the riverbank.

The number of people approaching by the Tuqi army was three times greater than that of the Tang army, and the whole team was long, and those who ran fast in front were out of the range of the Tang army's bow and arrows, and many people fled to the river bank.

The entire banks of the river were chaotic on both sides of the river, with shouts and screams intertwined, and arrows clanged on the ice.

After a quarter of an hour or so, the Turgish people were completely defeated, and when Zhao Ziliang saw this, he immediately ordered: "Order: Beat the drums and blow the trumpet to pursue the enemy in an all-round way, and each battalion will comprehensively pursue and kill the enemy army in a unit, kill or capture the enemy soldier with a reward of one and a consistent reward, kill or capture the enemy army and the elder of the cavalry will be rewarded twice, kill or capture the enemy centurion with a reward of ten times, and kill or capture the enemy commander with a reward of one hundred times!" The reward for killing Dumodu is 500 guan, and the reward for capturing Dumodu alive is 1,000 guan! ”

"No!"

Zhao Ziliang's order was quickly issued, and the rumbling war drums sounded and the distant sound of trumpets spread throughout the battlefield. This kind of heavy reward made the Tang soldiers more fierce than before, before everyone under the command of Zhao Ziliang and the battalion commanders in the army formation to fire arrows to the enemy, all according to the step-by-step, but now the pursuit of the enemy can no longer act according to the military formation, must be based on the unit, so the army disbandment, each formation of a combat group to cooperate with the pursuit of the enemy, who rushes fiercely, runs fast, who is more fierce, the more enemy killed.

After the order was handed down, Zhao Ziliang took out the corner bow on the side of the war horse and held it above his head and said to the servants behind him: "Soldiers, follow me to chase and kill the enemy, if you have a catch, the reward will be the same as that of other battalions!" Killβ€”"

"Kill-" The servants took out their weapons one after another and echoed loudly.

"Ha-" Zhao Ziliang shouted, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the BMW horse Wuli rushed out under his crotch, Zhao Ziliang wrapped the reins around the saddle and controlled Wuli with his legs.

While galloping on his horse, Zhao Ziliang took out an arrow from the quiver on Wu Li's side and shot it at a turk soldier who was about to flee to the shore.

After Zhao Ziliang rushed up with more than 100 horses from the horse, the first battalion of cavalry on both sides of the river bank had all been on the war horse at this time, under the leadership of Wei Meng and Liang Qi respectively, they galloped along the river bank and shot the Turgish soldiers along the way, and the Trough soldiers who had not yet come ashore were in a mess on the ice, and they were hit by the Tang army's bows and arrows, and the casualties kept increasing, and the Troba soldiers who had fled ashore saw the Tang cavalry chasing and killing, and they were so frightened that their faces were like dirt, and they fled desperately. The cavalrymen of the Don Army shot one by one in the back.

After chasing for half an hour, Zhao Ziliang's body was already covered in blood, the body of the war horse Wuli had also been stained red with blood, and the arrows in the quiver were also shot out, and the entire battlefield on both sides of the river bank was full of Turkic corpses, weapons, armor, bows and arrows.

At this time, the Turgish were completely defeated, at least by now, most of the Turgish forces had been lost, and the remaining few were scattered in all directions and could not be gathered together, but if these remaining small number of Turgish troops were allowed to flee to various parts of Anxi, it would also bring temporary hardship to the people everywhere.

Zhao Ziliang touched the blood on his face and shouted, "Chu Ge! ”

"General!" Chu Gece immediately stepped forward and arched his hand.

"Order all cavalry, including you, to continue to pursue the enemy, try to kill or capture all the Turks, so that they cannot harm the local people, and the rest of the people clean up the battlefield!"

"No!"

The cavalry had gone out to continue the pursuit of the few fleeing turrets, and the infantry and baggage corps had stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, treating the wounded, counting the casualties, taking prisoners, and counting the booty in an orderly manner.

An hour later, all the wounded were dealt with and settled, the casualties and trophies were also counted, Zheng San reported to Zhao Ziliang: "General, the battlefield has been cleaned up, our army has wounded 225 people, killed 102 people, killed 1,260 enemy soldiers, captured more than 1,300 people, captured more than 2,500 weapons, more than 2,000 pairs of bows and arrows, 2,200 sets of leather armor, and 220 sets of iron armor!" The corpses of the Turgish have all been buried, and the bodies of the brothers killed in our army have been loaded onto the cart. ”

After listening to the report, Zhao Ziliang nodded, waved his hand, and said: "Order, let the cavalry continue to pursue, and the infantry and baggage battalions escort the prisoners and booty back to the city!" ”

"No!"

Before dark, Zhao Ziliang and others pressed the captives back to the city, and Chen Biao, the deputy captain of the second battalion on the city tower, stood on the city tower and saw Zhao Ziliang returning with a large group of prisoners, and was immediately overjoyed, and immediately shouted: "The general has returned to the city victoriously, the general has returned to the city victoriously, quickly open the city gate and notify the city lord Pan!" ”

"The general has returned to the city in victory・・・・・・"

Soon, the news of Zhao Ziliang's defeat of the Tuqi Shi army by the Dial River spread throughout the city like wings, and all the people in the city came out of their homes and stood on the side of the main street waiting for the army to return to the city.

At this time, the city gate opened, and not long after Chen Biao came down from the city tower, the city lord Pan Lengleng, who had been notified, hurried with the officials, and Zhao Ziliang also happened to walk to the city gate with the army.

Pan Lengleng immediately led the officials to step forward and salute: "The general is like a god, one less wins more, the weak defeats the strong, and the defeat of the Tucai army in a battle shows the general's bravery, which is really gratifying!" This official and the officials of the Governor's Mansion and the City Lord's Mansion are admired, and there are generals guarding this state, which is a blessing to the people of all ethnic groups in my Gumo Prefecture, and I feel the great grace of the general on behalf of all the people in the state! ”

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said solemnly: "Loyalty to the emperor, loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, guarding the territory, and protecting the peace of the people are the duties and missions of our generation of soldiers. Lord Iwa, General Ben has something to discuss with you, and I would like to ask you to go with you to the Capture Mansion! ”

"So, general, please!"

Zhao Ziliang said to Li Siye, Lei Wu, Huo Kan and others: "You will lead the army to escort the prisoners back to the camp first, strictly guard, and do not slack off!" ”

"No!"
