Zhao Yun didn't say much after listening to Zhang He's words, knowing that his soldiers' physical strength had reached the limit, and if they continued to hold on, the casualties of the soldiers would be very large, and the soldiers must be allowed to leave the battlefield as soon as possible.

The sudden attack of Zhang He's army surprised the Tartar iron cavalry who surrounded Zhao Yunjun, and they were also very frightened in their hearts, not knowing if the snake had any other backhand, they just saw the reinforcements of the snake, and thought that the snake had laid a trap for them!

Therefore, a large part of the Tartar Iron Cavalry who chased and killed Zhao Yun had the heart to retreat, after all, they had not studied it before the war, and it was a complete accident to be able to surround Zhao Yun's department, and they didn't know that everyone thought of coming together.

In the face of the sudden appearance of Zhang He's army, they were still caught off guard, they Tartar hesitated now, and also knew that Zhang He's reinforcements were not very many, whether to continue to chase, or stop the pursuit, seeing that it was good to say that it was very uncertain, if it was not to pursue such a good opportunity, the pursuit was afraid of falling into the trap of the snake again.

When the Tartars decided to take the risk of pursuit, Zhang He's army had safely escaped from the entanglement with the Xianbei iron cavalry, and the army had begun to withdraw, and Zhang He led hundreds of people to block it, of course, at this time, the Xianbei tribe also knew the intentions of the Snake Army, and also determined that the Lu Ning Army was a force specially to aid Zhao Yunjun, and did not design any traps to deal with them in advance.

The hesitation of the Xianbei iron cavalry did not entangle Zhang He's army, and after Zhang He's army withdrew, the Tartars lost the opportunity to destroy Zhang He's army.

There are still about four hundred and fifty people left in the thousand Flying Snake Army under Zhao Yun, all of them are injured, and the rest who did not follow are estimated to be sacrificed, they will not surrender, even if they fall off their horses, they are still fighting, and each of their soldiers fights to the death. Otherwise, as long as there is a trace of life, they will do their best to verify the same end.

Although Zhang Hejun was later, in order to cover the safe evacuation of Zhao Yunjun, they were also desperately killing the Tartar soldiers, plus the glorious tradition of the Flying Snake Army is that as soon as the soldiers see the Tartar soldiers, they will have an invisible morale to move forward bravely, and the soldiers will kill into the Tartar army without any worries, which is completely a desperate frame, which is of course the Tartar soldiers have committed too many sins, which has aroused the righteous indignation of the people of the Han Dynasty.

After Zhang He's army was safely evacuated, Zhang He found that he had also lost about 500 soldiers; The Xianbei Tartar Iron Cavalry estimated that the loss should be more than 10,000 people, this is because on the one hand, the soldiers of the Tang Hua Army are desperate, and on the other hand, the Zhang He army is killed from behind the enemy, and the loss of the Tartar soldiers must be much greater.

After seeing Zhang He and Zhao Yun's Second Route Army fleeing, some Xianbei tribes with heavy losses retreated, and some timid tribes also retreated.

Zhang He still had more than 20,000 Tartar iron cavalry behind them in pursuit, and when they saw that Zhang He and Zhao Yun only had about 3,000 troops after joining forces, they were moved, and they wanted to eat the army of Zhao Yun and Zhang He. This is also a very good opportunity, so the Tartar Iron Cavalry desperately pursued after Zhang He and Zhao Yun's army, they didn't know that it was not so easy to catch up, after all, Tang Hua's army adopted the combat equipment method of one person and three horses.

Just when the Xianbei Tartars were out of breath and out of breath, the two thousand Flying Snake Army led by Tang Hua arrived in, and Tang Hua saw the situation clearly from a distance while looking at his glasses. Immediately, he led his soldiers back to the flank and rear of the Tartar pursuers and launched an attack on the Tartars.

The Xianbei Tartars who were chasing Zhang He's army also found that an army of the Snake Army had killed them from their flanks and rear, and they panicked, they thought that they were still ambushed by the Snake Army, and the cavalry was not easy to turn around in the high-speed gallop, that is, if you want to stop, you have to have a certain distance to buffer, let alone turn around.

The Tartars knew that they had been tricked, and they could no longer pursue Zhang He's army, so it was better to escape from the pursuit of the Serpent Army as soon as possible. The Tartar cavalry was slowly turning around, and they could only make a relatively large detour. Otherwise, if you stop and turn sharply, it will only make the formation more chaotic, and you can only be wiped out by Tang Huajun.

The Tartars only hoped that Tang Huajun's speed would be a little slower, so that they could succeed in a roundabout way.

At this time, Zhang He and Zhao Yun, of course, also saw Tang Hua personally leading the army to the flank and rear of the Tartar iron cavalry, of course, they reorganized the formation, changed the war horses, and turned back to kill the Tartar soldiers chasing them.

Tang Hua's 2,000 Flying Snake Army led by Tang Hua slaughtered the Tartar soldiers at high speed, and Tang Hua's formation crashed directly into the enemy's flank and rear like a pillar. The iron cavalry of the Tartar army was cut off by Tang Huajun, and the Tartar soldiers at this time were like frightened birds, panicked, they basically lost their fighting spirit, they were extremely scared in their hearts, and their hearts were terrified.

This is the second time that the Tartars have been killed from behind by the Serpent Army, and they don't know how many traps they will have to drill into, and they only have one thought in their hearts, that is, to run for their lives, and they can't miss it anymore. Otherwise, there will be no chance to escape for your life, and this will turn into a one-sided massacre.

The soldiers of the Tang Hua army were harvesting the lives of the Tartar soldiers with their sabers, spears, and swords, while the Tartar iron cavalry was desperately fleeing, trying their best to escape from the slaughter range of the Tang Hua army.

Tang Hua didn't care about the rear army of the Tartar army that was cut off by Tang Hua's army, and Tang Hua led his troops to chase and kill the Tartar soldiers in front. Because, they haven't completely turned around, they're still going around in a roundabout, and of course their speed won't be fast.

Tang Huajun must have followed up quickly, chasing the Tartars' fart, and although Tang Huajun worked hard, he did not directly participate in the battle, so he could be regarded as a new force. The Tartar soldiers who were cut off in the rear were desperate, because the 3,000 troops of Zhang He and Zhao Yun were killed, and they really did not have the courage to resist, and some of the Tartar soldiers began to surrender, and then more Tartars also surrendered.

The battle was over, and the Lu Ning army did not completely annihilate the Xianbei Tartars, but thousands of Tartar soldiers still fled.

At this time, Tang Huajun only killed more than 1,000 Tartar soldiers, and more than 13,000 Tartar soldiers were captured. When the Tartar soldiers finally found that there were only four or five thousand people in Tang Hua's army, they sighed even more. It's as uncomfortable as you want to be depressed in your heart, but it's too late, and if you want to escape now, it's tantamount to death.

Tang Huajun also lost more than 1,300 soldiers in several battles, and the captured war horses increased by nearly 10,000.

On the way back to the army, Zhao Yun said: "Lord, why are you here?" It was expected that Junyi would come to my rescue, but it was my surprise that my eldest brother would come in person. ”

Tang Hua smiled, wiped his sweat and said: "After Junyi left, I still can't rest assured of you, for fear that something will happen to you, I will temporarily decide to change the original plan, I don't plan to block the Tuoba Iron Cavalry, let them have a way to escape, as long as you are all alive and well, are you afraid that there will be no chance to destroy them, so I will let people set fire to the grass, and then chased in your direction, fortunately I came in time." ”

After listening to Tang Hua's words, Zhao Yun and Zhang He were very moved, and the two said to Tang Huaning: "Thank you, lord." ”

Tang Hua said with a smile: "I don't know what the situation is in Wenyuan now, it is unlikely that their Tartar soldiers will come to chase and kill, but the key is how to escape from the fire, this is the most difficult thing for him, this wind direction has changed, and the entire battle plan has been ruined." ”

While returning, Tang Huajun asked the soldiers to set fire to the prairie that could be burned, turning it into a sea of fire. On the one hand, the Xianbei tribe can be intercepted and then sent iron cavalry to chase the soldiers, and on the other hand, the winter of these Tartars will not be easy, and what will they use to feed so many cattle and sheep when the time comes.

Of course, by next year, the grass on the prairie will grow more vigorously, which is called wildfire, and the spring breeze blows and grows again.

Approaching the place of Ma Yi, Tang Hua and Zhang Liao converged, Tang Hua saw that Zhang Liao and each of them were disgraced, many soldiers even had some hair burned, and some soldiers' clothes were full of holes burned by the fire, knowing that they were really suffering.

Seeing Zhang Liao's embarrassed appearance, Tang Hua, Zhao Yun, and Zhang He all laughed loudly.

Zhang Liao saw Tang Hua and them laughing and said, "You guys are still laughing, I almost died in the fire." ”

Tang Hua stopped laughing and said, "Wen Yuan, you have worked hard, how many soldiers have you lost?" ”

Zhang Liao said: "Lost more than 300 soldiers, they were all buried in the fire, did not escape, the wind was too strong, the fire was too fierce, as soon as we set fire, the fire chased our fart, we were a big circle to escape, if we follow the original retreat route, then we will definitely be buried in the fire." ”

After hearing this, Tang Hua said: "Oh, then Wenyuan, you should have returned to the Baideng area, there are also Xianbei tribe iron horses, so how did you escape." ”

Zhang Liao said: "Lord, it has completely changed, we only set off to the next day and found that the wind direction has changed, and we also know that if we continue to set fires, we will probably not be able to come back." After thinking about it in detail, I decided to go ahead with the original plan, but I made some adjustments to the escape route. When we got to the vicinity of Baiden, we did encounter the iron horsemen of the Tartars, and we were a little luckier that they didn't stop us, although if we had been a little later, we would have been made dumplings by them. They were behind us, and we continued to set fire to stop them, and when they saw us setting fire, they also ran away, or they too would be killed in the fire. In this way, we made a big detour, and we made a lot more detours than before, but the area of arson was much wider than before. ”

Tang Hua patted Zhang Liao's arm and said: "It's good that you can come back safely, I've always been worried about whether you can jump out of the fire, and now that I see that you all come back safely, I can let go of the heart that has been hanging." ”

Zhang Liao smiled and said to Zhao Yun: "As soon as the wind direction changes, does Zilong suffer a big loss?" ”

Zhao Yun gave a brief introduction to Zhang Liao about the entire battle situation, which surprised Zhang Liao, he didn't expect that Zhao Yun would encounter so many Tartar soldiers, and he was also wrapped in dumplings, if it wasn't for Zhang He to support, it would be good to come back.

Zhang He said with a smile: "This time the roast mutton has changed its taste, and it has been roasted for a long time, Wenyuan was roasted, Zilong was made dumplings, and my eldest brother and I did not collect our pockets, which completely evolved into a battle of decoy and annihilation." ”

Zhao Yun smiled after hearing this: "It's not bad, the battle is fruitful, although our army has lost more than 1,600 people, but the Tartar soldiers who have been annihilated and captured by our army alone are as high as more than 13,000 people, and there are also the Tartars of the Tuoba Department who are surrounded by fire, it is estimated that the losses of the Tuoba Department will not be small, at least half of his main force and a large number of family members, cattle and sheep can be destroyed." His strength has been greatly lost, and we have achieved our intended purpose. ”

Tang Hua said to them: "Don't worry, although the roast mutton has changed a little bit, the dance I prepared for them in the next step is beautiful and intoxicating, and I will never let them down again." ”

Everyone laughed.

Within a day, Tang Hua's army returned to the Yin Pavilion, and Sima Lang, Tian Chou, Silly, Mai Zi and others greeted them at the city gate.

There are also a lot of people around the road to welcome, the people heard that Tang Hua's army defeated the Xianbei tribe after the iron cavalry, they all spontaneously poured out of their homes to welcome the triumphant return of the army, that scene is really exciting, Tang Hua is also the first time to see such a warm welcome scene.

The soldiers of the Flying Snake Army under Tang Hua had a sense of pride, knowing that their actions had won the love of the people, were recognized by the people, and also boosted the morale of Tang Huajun.

The next few days were spent resting the soldiers, holding a celebration banquet, and allowing the meritorious soldiers to introduce the struggle of the battle to other soldiers, of course, in order to stimulate the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

At the celebration banquet, Tang Hua said to Sima Lang: "Boda, these captives of the Xianbei tribe are for you to use as slaves, and each of your slaves must pay one or two taels of silver as a reward for soldiers, and you will do so in the future." ”

After hearing this, Sima Lang's eyes widened and said: "My lord, why do we still have to pay money to the Military Affairs Department to buy slaves, all their expenses are not provided by our internal affairs, why do we have to spend money to buy captured slaves now, I have so much money to pay, aren't you robbing?" ”

Tang Hua smiled and said: "Boda, aren't you taking advantage of a small loss, you just spent one or two taels of silver per slave, and the slave is working hard for you for life, and you don't need to pay a salary, isn't it cost-effective." If you are reluctant to pay this money, the soldiers will not do any good, they would rather kill the Tartars on the battlefield, and save themselves from being responsible for escorting them along the way. In this way, where will you find your free slaves in the future? If you give a little money now, you'll have more free slaves in the future, isn't that good? I'm thinking about you, you think I'm calculating you, I've always been on your side. Originally, according to the meaning of Junyi, Wenyuan, and Zilong, each slave would let you spend three or five taels of silver, but they said that if you let the slaves work for decades to spend one tael of silver, that is something that cannot be found in the world, and if you let these slaves openly sell to those big families, they should be sold for a good price. This silver tael is the result of a lot of work I've done, and you should reward me. ”
