Chapter 441: Heavenly Tilt 5
Amid the heavy smell of blood and burning, I slowly walked through the black snow and entered the camp of the White Horse Temple.
The battle process of this rapid march to help was quite satisfactory.
Compared with the difficult trek of the initial brigade, this time the five main battle battalions, four auxiliary army brigades, and about 10,000 horses all advanced lightly, with the help of horse-drawn sleds and other tools.
Therefore, it only took a little more than half a day to gallop from Wujiao Pass to the White Horse Temple, and took the initiative to start a battle at the first time, and caught the other party off guard.
Not counting the battle damage that could not be attacked for a long time before, at least tens of thousands of enemy troops fell outside the White Horse Temple in this battle.
The number of subsequent captures can only be counted after the chasing pacesetters and teaching teams and other horse teams have been returned. You must know that most of these bloody enemies are cavalry, and once they are allowed to move, they are not so easy to annihilate.
After all, most of them have horses, and after being defeated and scattered in one go, they scattered and fled, which is also a little out of reach.
In addition, more than 3,000 prisoners on foot were captured on the spot, and there were no prisoners on foot who could not escape in time because they left their mounts.
They were under the overwhelming crowd before, and all kinds of battles were fierce, but once the general trend was gone, those who surrendered were also very neat.
Only then did I know the identity of the other party, and they were all from various tribes under the command of the princes outside the Saiwai.
I don't know how many people entered the south this time, but among these people who were captured, there were Huangtou Murwei, Bomuro Wei, and Damuro Wei from the five surnames of Murwei, as well as Tiele Species, Xi Ren and other small surnames of the scattered ethnic group, Liulinhu named after the region, Jiuyuan Hu, and even unknown Zahu and other different large areas, more than 20 tribes and settlements.
Just to facilitate the robbery, and gather under a large part of a vassal to act together, so they have become the fastest group of people to be abandoned. So I had a new source of coolies.
Immediately, I condoled and checked the casualties in the left-behind camps, except for the casualties of the two auxiliary brigades, which were a bit large, because they undertook the front-line hand-to-hand combat, and each suffered more than half of the casualties, but because they were defending the stronghold, they were not as light as the field environment.
The casualties of one of the two main battle formations, the special vehicle regiment, also reached a little more than 30%, mainly caused by the arrows fired and the partial breakthrough, and also lost two artillery crews.
On the contrary, Zhao Liangsi's hunting camp was still relatively intact, and at least eighty percent of its combat effectiveness was maintained, so it was able to come in handy in the pursuit.
They're doing a good job this time.
With more than 3,600 troops stationed there, plus a number of friendly troops who can only fight soy sauce, relying only on the terrain and exclusive equipment, they can fight impressively under the siege and strong attack of several times the enemy, and can still maintain a certain degree of initiative and room for counterattack, which is much better than I imagined.
However, it has further confirmed the reputation of our army as a first-class defender.
Immediately after, as the iconic trophy of this battle.
A head with a wolf's head and an iron helmet was presented to me, and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and the gray and withered hair were mottled together with some kind of pre-aging wind and frost, and briefly solidified on the blood-stained face.
He was taken among the captives and discerned, and someone came out of his own right, and then brought to me with the confession.
"According to their confessions, this is one of the presiding officers of the siege of the White Horse Temple, and Ling Dengbo is the first ......"
Yao Zhongping, the chief marquis on duty, explained to me.
"A feudal prince from the southeastern grassland of the pine desert......"
"Jucheng is located at the foot of Lingshan Mountain in the upper reaches of the Eker River, hence the name......"
"This time, the people who led the strings to control the strings went south with seven or eight thousand people,"
"I was coerced all the way by other miscellaneous subordinates, and I gathered to be half of them, and I can be called a big domain all the way......"
"But I didn't want to fold here......"
"Please cure the crime of unauthorized authoritarianism ...... subordinates"
Zhang Xian asked me seriously.
"What sin are you ......guilty of?"
I was amazed,
"Your timely and appropriate handling is exemplary."
"And with inferior men and horses, he defended this former stronghold for his army, of course, merit is ......"
"Subordinate...... He ordered the killing of allies who were in front of the enemy."
He hesitated, then added
"What kind of fault is this......
I don't think so.
"Is it right to let them cover the enemy army rushing in and causing irreparable damage......
"When it is broken, it is ...... to be a great husband"
"His subordinates also ordered people to shoot ...... in front of the battle"
Zhang Xian gritted his teeth and continued
"Captured digital rulers. Metropolitan Supervisor ......"
"Have you verified your identity?"
I looked at him with some surprise and said, don't look at you usually low-key and inconspicuous, but I didn't think you were still such a decisive master
"It has been verified that ...... have been buried"
"Needless to say......"
I interrupted him flatly.
"Yes......"
Zhang Xian bowed his head.
"That's it."
"This is my claim and instruction......"
I continued
"Marshal.!!"
He looked at me with some surprise
"On weekdays, didn't I tell you about the great things and trade-offs in the war......
I asked rhetorically
"There are no relatives on the battlefield, as long as it threatens the survival and safety of the soldiers in the headquarters, even if the king of heaven is killed, no one can be an exception"
"Since I have entrusted you with this responsibility, I naturally trust your own judgment......
"But ......"
Zhang Xian still wanted to argue something, but I interrupted him again.
"What a big deal that is......"
I was a little disapproving
"At least after they are unfortunately captured, they can die at the hands of our army, and that is also a decent ending......
"Do you want their relatives and descendants to bear the infamy of betraying the enemy and betraying the country......
"At least we can give them a reputation for being strong and unyielding in the presentation......"
"Even if others have any objections, it is my business, and I will definitely not be responsible for your guilt......"
"Am I so unsure of what is right and wrong......
"Or are you questioning me if I'm using people inappropriately......"
As soon as these big hats were buttoned, he finally stopped talking and tangled, and his expression was much more relieved.
"Okay......"
I hurriedly waved my hand to stop Zhang Xian's words with an excited expression.
"You withdrew, and then you submitted a list of meritorious deeds......"
Loyalty +10, identity +10, personal prestige turned into reverence, and I seemed to see such a number rise over his head.
However, I rubbed my face, this kind of great image is really not so easy to play, after this conversation, I almost couldn't pretend, and the laughter came out.
In the end, we learned that those Hu Ma'er, who were desperately besieging it, were wrong from beginning to end, making a big oolong, and regarded the camp of the White Horse Temple, which was strictly guarded, as the location of the key big people, and did not hesitate to attack it with all their might.
The several high-ranking generals who were shot before the formation inadvertently deepened their speculation and misunderstanding, and only high-level enough characters had the courage and means to kill them. But I didn't expect that it was because they didn't belong to each other, and they had the audacity to assert their own ideas.
I naturally have to take the responsibility of making this decision on my shoulders, is Shuai Si still in the mood to take such a bullshit thing to trouble me in this situation.
In the ensuing temporary field military conference,
"After the purging and consolidation of this place......"
Adjutant General Xin Jiaxuan asked.
"Next, how should our army go ......?"
"Naturally go to the ...... of Heyang Bridge Nanguan"
I already had a plan in my heart, and motioned to join the army, Du Shiyi, and demonstrated it to them on the map
"First take the men and horses of the front army, and then talk about ......"
"After Humal from the north has crossed the ice, the so-called danger of the Heyang Bridge is no longer meaningful......
"After meeting the troops together, we have more confidence and preparation to deal with the unknown enemy situation......
Of course, I naturally have other plans and selfish intentions for this decision. Rather than sending it to the door and putting the command under the control of others, it is better to first go to the other friendly forces that are easy to cooperate and get along with.
Then decide according to the attitude and situation of the other party, whether to send charcoal in time or take the opportunity to coerce.
