Less than three miles away from the camp, both eyes were dripping blood, and the brothers beside him who opened their mouths wide and couldn't say a word, this blow came too quickly and too suddenly, seeing the war elephants and tens of thousands of soldiers rushing into the camp of the Sui army, seeing that they had already issued a cry of victory, but almost in an instant, the war elephants of their own side were drowned in the rain of flames and arrows, and then turned back and frantically trampled and crushed their own infantry, heaven and hell, just one step away, life from great joy to great sorrow, It's really just a blink of an eye.

He suddenly realized that the defeat was like a mountain, and it was more important than anything else to save his life first, and he hurriedly yelled at the plan: "Big brother, run, if you don't run, you will have to die here!"

Fu Zhen also came back to his senses all of a sudden, opened his mouth, "wow", spit out a mouthful of blood, stroked his chest and cried: "My war elephant, my warrior!" How can this be the case, has God really forsaken us? ”

As he turned his horse's head, he shouted, "If God does not abandon us, we don't know the way, and if we don't leave now, we will abandon ourselves!" Although he was unwilling in his heart, he still turned the horse with his brother, threw away the gorgeous feather ornament on his head, lay on the horse, mixed in with a pile of panicked defeated soldiers, and galloped backwards like a tide.

On the battlefield, the Sui army had already dispersed the phalanx and completely entered the state of stragglers chasing and killing. The war elephants ran all the way. Trample. After being shot by the crossbowmen who kept following behind, many of the war elephants were exhausted, and after running out of the camp for five or six hundred steps, they fell to the ground and died.

However, the 2,000 cavalry of the Sui army had already taken over the task of driving the war elephants and chasing the fleeing enemy, and they had already been ambushed from the dense forest on the edge of the wall, and swept towards the desperately fleeing enemy troops on the entire battlefield like a gust of wind. The barbarian soldiers who fled slowly fell one after another, and after a whirlwind of death, they left behind corpses everywhere, and the casualties in the pursuit battle were always greater than the face-to-face fighting, and this truth in the ancient and modern battle arrays was once again verified at this moment.

The jumping soldiers of the Sui army led by Zhang Xutuo specially changed into light leather armor today, and together with more than 3,000 archers who threw down their bows and crossbows and wielded broadswords and battle axes, they also became the first batch of light soldiers who went out of the camp to pursue. They didn't have time to harvest the heads on the corpses of the enemy soldiers scattered all over the ground, but they just killed the wounded enemy soldiers who were struggling and had not yet lost their lives one by one along the way. Then he quickly pursued the next target.

Shi Wansui looked at the decisive battle in front of him, let out a sigh of relief, and the brows that had been locked for many days finally relaxed, he smiled, and said to Wang Shichong and other generals and officials: "Everyone, what we did today will forever be recorded in the annals of history, cheer for victory." ”

The surrounding soldiers burst into a burst of deafening cheers, and Shi Wansui's eyes fell on Wang Shichong: "General Wang, thanks to your miraculous plan today, you can have such a big victory, and now Ben Shuai is going to pursue the two enemy leaders, Fu Xi and Ji Zhen, you and General Yang clean up the battlefield, and General Yu will go to capture the Wei County village of the barbarian army according to the original plan."

I expect that the enemy leader will not dare to enter the village to defend, and will definitely flee to the east, you will defend Wei County here, and then divide your troops to sweep the surrounding barbarian villages, there are barbarian troops who have surrendered, and they must let their leaders come out as hostages, all concentrated in this Wei County village. After the marshal left, General Yang was in charge here. ”

Wang Shichong hadn't heard of Shi Wansui's battle plan before the war, and he didn't know that he was actually going to lead the troops to pursue the enemy in person this time, and was slightly stunned: "Marshal, you're not joking, as the commander of an army, with thousands of soldiers like this, chasing the enemy, I'm afraid it's not very safe, or you personally sit in the Weixian village and send a good general to lead the troops to pursue." ”

Shi Wansui waved his hand: "The current situation is already obvious, all the enemy's combatable soldiers are here, and they have been defeated by us in one fell swoop, and the planing and shading Zhen on the opposite side have only fled with a few personal soldiers, and they don't even want their own Weixian base camp, so we must not give them a chance to breathe at this time."

I don't want to learn from Zhuge Liang, spend a few years here and slowly give them the opportunity to clean up the remnants again and again, attracting foreign aid to fight again, and now Ben Shuai is going to personally pursue these two thieves, no matter where they flee to, they must be captured alive, and then sacrifice prisoners to Daxing, which can be regarded as completing the emperor's trust in me. ”

Yang Wutong on the side frowned: "Marshal Shi, are you only going to take those two thousand cavalry to pursue?" ”

Shi Wansui nodded: "Ben Shuai has already arranged it, two thousand cavalry, as well as Zhang Xutuo's four hundred and fifty jumping soldiers on horseback, there are more than 2,000 people in pursuit, it is enough, Fu Xi and Ji Zhen can't even take care of their wives and children, how can they have any spare strength, I just chased all the way and wiped out the barbarian tribes who refused to submit." This Dazhai in Weixian County is the camp of our army, you take a short rest here, after cleaning the battlefield, leave 5,000 people to defend, and the rest of the people will follow along the line of my pursuit, and I will send scouts to indicate my whereabouts along the way. ”

After Shi Wansui finished speaking, he walked directly off the high platform, put on a war horse that had already been prepared, and rushed towards the distance surrounded by dozens of fierce personal guards.

Wang Shichong shook his head, he knew very well that Shi Wansui was not only to fight for merit, but also to grab money, and when he went out on the expedition, he heard from himself that these barbarians in Ningzhou had a lot of gold, and now the organized resistance of the enemy army was completely crushed today.

At a cursory glance, more than 50,000 enemies were killed today, and the remaining remnants of the enemy army were already exhausted, and they had no courage to fight again, so they took this opportunity to seize a few rebel leaders and force them to hand over the tribe's gold, which is what Shi Dashuai wants to do most now, and this kind of unsightly thing, naturally the fewer people involved, the better, except for his own hardcore follower Zhang Xutuo, Shi Wansui did not even bring a person above the general of Yitong to participate in this matter.

Wang Shichong was thinking about it in a daze, only to hear Yang Wutong say in a deep voice: "Look, the city walled in Weixian County has caught fire in the distance, presumably it must be General Yu who detoured to behind the enemy line last night and they have already succeeded. ”

More than an hour later, the largest stilt house in the town of Weixian County, which was originally used as the hall of the planing meeting, has become the temporary Chinese army camp of the Sui army, and several Sui soldiers at the door are hanging a plaque of "Nanning Prefecture Marching Governor's Mansion", and Yang Wutong is sitting in the position where the original planing is sitting, and a temporary handsome case is placed in front of him, Wang Shichong and other cadres and colonels are sitting on both sides, watching the records of the army and the army are reporting the results that have just been counted.

The white-faced soldier, who was about forty years old and looked calm and capable, was reading to a silk book in his hand: "In this battle, our army killed 54,317 enemies on the battlefield and captured 34,315 people.

One hundred and forty-six people were killed and 217 were captured, and the wives and concubines of the rebel chiefs were all captured by our army, except for his eldest son, Hongda, who fled with him, and more than 200 tribal leaders led by the big ghost tribe and the big ghost lord Jin, all of them expressed their powerlessness against the heavenly army and were willing to surrender and beg for their lives, and they were taken into custody by our army.

In this battle, our army killed 17 people and wounded 33 people, Marshal Shi has led 2,500 elites to pursue the thief leader and the thief, and the follow-up results will be followed up later. ”

Wan Zhiguang, who was sitting on the right, tilted his mouth unhappily: "You all killed the enemy one by one in this battle, and the Shu soldiers I brought with me pretended to withdraw from the camp in order to cooperate with the actions of the main force, and they didn't get any merit in this battle, which is too unfair to me." General Yang, Marshal Shi is not here, you are the highest commander here, you have to give me an explanation. (To be continued......)
