At the beginning of June of the first year of Changping, under the leadership of the main general Li Chenfeng, the Southern Route Army of the Xiaoguo Army fought against 150,000 Turkic cavalry with 200,000 soldiers, and fought against the grassland 300 miles north of Bingzhou.

In this battle, the Xiaoguo Army once again let its unique gunpowder weapons come into play. Especially after the restructuring, it makes this Megatron Thunder lighter, more carryable, more complete, but for the enemy, the Megatron Thunder burst out with unprecedented effect. In the end, the Xiaoguo army and the Turkic cavalry fought head-on, and when the Turkic cavalry was caught off guard and the details of the Xiaoguo army were not known, they defeated the Turkic army of more than 100,000, killed nearly 80,000 enemies before and after, captured more than 50,000 alive, and the remaining more than 10,000 Turkic cavalry scattered and fled.

"General Qiyu, our army has taken over all the enemy troops left behind more than ten miles in the south, the 250,000 people of Bingzhou, and the property, livestock, and grain looted from Bingzhou. Most of the more than 10,000 cavalry stationed in the Turks were also beheaded and surrendered in small steps. Seeing that the soldiers on the battlefield began to gather and occupy, Li Chenfeng, who escorted the captives, got 30,000 specially to rescue the people who were escorted by the Turks and the property they plundered.

After receiving the report from his subordinates, Li Chenfeng's last worry also dissipated, and he said with a smile: "Very good, you go back immediately and give orders to let them escort these people to the camp." Also, arrange for these people to wait for the new command. Remember, they must not be harassed at will, and all the officers of the army should be given orders, and those who dare to harass the people will be severely punished. ”

"Obey!" The heralds galloped away, heading south.

"Come on, send an order to all armies, just pursue ten miles, and the enemy beyond the range of ten miles, don't pay attention!" Seeing that the cavalry went forward to pursue, Li Chenfeng ordered again.

"General, why don't you catch all of them? These rangers are scattered, and they are not a good thing. Those who have done wrongdoing in the land of our annexation should also be punished here. Besides, in their current situation, can they outrun the encirclement and interception of our cavalry? It's really a little unwilling to let them go. Because he led the heavy armored cavalry, he couldn't fight for a long time, so after the Turkic army was scattered and the other party's handsome flag was captured, Yang Hu, the general of the town army, who was withdrawn, said very angrily.

Li Chenfeng smiled: "Do you think General Ben doesn't want all these Turks to die?" Do you think General Ben doesn't want to avenge the people of Bingzhou? We are now victorious, but in the northern part of the annexed state, there are still more than 100,000 Turkic cavalry and Turkic khans. This time it's because they underestimate the enemy, so what's next? ”

"I'm not afraid of anything, I need to let these soldiers scatter everywhere and spread the power of my Xiaoguo army. These Turkic tribal leaders, khans, and officers may be pushed aside when they get the news, and instead fight to the death with us. If they are not fighting hard, but are always around our army, like wolves, then how to deal with it? ”

"I'm not afraid of ......," Yang Hu argued.

"You are not afraid, but don't forget, we are still guarding more than 200,000 people, as well as countless belongings, more than 100,000 war horses, and more than 100,000 cattle, sheep and livestock. These all need to be transported back to Dingzhou in the east, and they are careless. If we spread our strength through these routs and make the Turkic cavalry fearful, it will be of great benefit to us. At that time, even their khans will not be able to suppress the fear of these soldiers. ”

"Besides, after these routs have fled, in addition to going south to join the army, many of them will return to the various tribes. Then, the prestige of our Xiaoguo army will spread to the Turkic steppe, so that these Turks know that the territory of the Han people is not easy to come. Li Chenfeng said excitedly. He Li Chenfeng had fought wars with foreign tribes in the past, so he naturally hoped that the Han people could rise, suppress this Turkic tribe, and make the grassland tribes no longer humiliate Han Xinjiang.

"Subordinates understood!" Yang Hu said with a slight sense of shame.

The sky was getting dark, and the curtain was falling on the battlefield. The captives were taken away, their bodies were incinerated one by one, and in addition to the ashes of their own soldiers, the corpses of the enemy soldiers were scattered on the spot and became part of the field......

The results of this battle also came out, and after getting the exact number of results, whether it was Li Chenfeng or the generals, they were all happy. This battle is a big victory.

In this battle, 150,000 soldiers were dispatched head-on, and after this battle, less than 20,000 were lost, most of whom were cavalry. Because many of these cavalrymen were selected from the reserve soldiers of the young and strong people. In a way, they are not weaker than the townsmen. However, in addition to actual combat, they are still a lot worse. At the very least, the soldiers who have experienced bloody battles know how to exchange the lives of the opponent for the least price, so as to achieve the goal of killing the opponent and saving their lives. And these are obviously not possible for these new pawns to achieve.

Compared to the losses of the Turkic cavalry, this loss is basically negligible. Of the more than 150,000 Turkic cavalry, more than 80,000 were killed. Among them, there were only more than 50,000 people who died directly in the battle between the earth-shaking thunder and weapons, and the rest were all unable to be treated because of the marbles inside the earth-shaking thunder, and were directly killed by the Xiaoguo army. This kind of measure is not only to reduce the burden of the army, but also to give these Turkic troops a deterrent and warning.

In addition to the 80,000 soldiers killed in battle and killed due to serious wounds, more than 50,000 of the Turkic cavalry were captured. Most of them were surrendered with their horses. At this time, they have been subdued by the earth-shattering thunder of the Xiaoguo Army, and they have been shocked by the ruthless methods of the Xiaoguo Army.

What made Li Chenfeng and the generals even happier was the harvest of this battle, that is, the spoils of war. The Turks' gains in the land of the annexed states, the 250,000 people of the annexed states, as well as the property, livestock, and grain looted from the annexed states, were all obtained by the Xiaoguo army, except for a small number of accidents due to panic and escape in the process of taking over, the rest were all fine.

If these are just the property of the people of the annexed state, they have been taken back. Then, the 100,000 war horses used to carry the property are a real harvest. These horses were all reserve horses for the Turkic cavalry, but at this moment, they all became the pack horses for them to carry their goods. Now, they're all in the hands of the Devils. Not only that, but more than 100,000 cattle, sheep and livestock used as military rations by the Turkic army were also captured. Coupled with the war horses captured from the Turkic cavalry, more than 200,000 horses were obtained in this battle. Moreover, most of them are good war horses.

At the same time, some troubles arose. How to resettle these 200,000 people is a huge problem. The Turks could not care about the death of these people, but they could not ignore it. Naturally, the speed of them and the soldiers cannot be compared, and in addition, they may cause a big war with the Turks at any time here, so they can't be careless that these people have an accident.

…………

At night, in the camp of the Xiaoguo army, there were piles of hunting bonfires everywhere, and the main general Li Chenfeng ordered to slaughter tens of thousands of captured livestock to reward the three armies, and more than 100,000 Xiaoguo soldiers were excited and elated at that time, enjoying the joy of victory. This big war is very happy. Whether it is an officer or an ordinary soldier, everyone is overjoyed, and between the conversations, the eyebrows are dancing and dripping, and they are all telling about their appearance on the battlefield, and the whole camp is jubilant......

In the big tent that can accommodate 1,000 people, Li Chenfeng is holding a celebration banquet for hundreds of meritorious soldiers, and the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions to the war are gathered together. Fighting against the Turks, he can still defeat them, killing 70,000 or 80,000 enemies and capturing 450,000 prisoners, while the Xiaoguo army only suffered less than 20,000 casualties......

"Ladies and gentlemen!"

Li Chenfeng lifted the big sea bowl, and a drop of wine slipped on the side, and the big tent was quiet for a while, only to hear Li Chenfeng's slightly heavy voice echoing in the big tent, "This battle has played the military might of our Xiaoguo army, and let the Turks see the strength of our Xiaoguo army." Let them know that I, the Han people, are not to be humiliated. ”

"This battle is for the lord to give up the dispute over the Central Plains, to save the people of Bingzhou, and to raise the military prestige of our Han people. At the same time, this victory is also the merit of the soldiers of the three armies who sacrificed their lives to kill the enemy, and when we celebrate the victory, we should not forget the brothers who sacrificed their lives for the country. ”

After speaking, Li Chenfeng slowly poured the wine on the ground, and hundreds of soldiers also followed the commander to spill the wine on the ground, and the whole big tent showed a heavy scene.

Li Chenfeng was silent for a while, raised the wine bowl again, and said loudly: "The deceased have passed away, and we should never forget their exploits." These brethren did not die in vain, and their sacrifice will be remembered. Well, since it's a festive feast, you can't make it so low. The next bowl of wine, the third bowl of wine, is my salute to the soldiers here, to all the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, we drank this cup! ”

"Drink!" The crowd raised their glasses and drank them all.

"All the soldiers are free, tonight, we are all happy. Remember, don't drink too much! Li Chenfeng said with a laugh.

As soon as the banquet arrived, an urgent announcement was issued outside the tent: "Report...... General Qiyu, a herald messenger has arrived in Youzhou! The tent door was opened, and the patrol officer said urgently.

"Is the identity determined?" Li Chenfeng put down the wine bowl and asked urgently. At this time, what military orders will come from Youzhou? This can't help but lift his spirits.

"Returning to the general, the identity has been confirmed, they are coming from Youzhou in a hurry, to meet the general and convey the order of the lord's army!" The officer reported in a deep voice.

"Invite him in!" Li Chenfeng said in a deep voice.

A moment later, a number of dusty warriors came in. When Li Chenfeng saw it, he said, "Deputy Military Envoy Wu!" ”

"General Lee! This is my arrow! Please check! After nodding to Li Chenfeng with a smile, he took out his herald warrant and identity warrant. In the Xiaoguo Army, all kinds of procedures are still very rigorous, and without the necessary procedures and identity orders, they have no way to show whether they are true or not.

After checking the other party's arrows and warrants, Li Chenfeng smiled and said, "I don't know why Lord Wu is here this time?" ”

Lord Wu smiled: "I won't be sloppy with General Li anymore, presumably General Li also wants to know the lord's military orders at this moment." Ah, this is the military order that was passed on to Youzhou five days ago, and this military order was issued after the deliberation of the adults of the Military Affairs Department. As he spoke, he handed over the secret order in his hand to Li Chenfeng. Moreover, there is a look of caution on his face.

Li Chenfeng said the other party so cautiously that he couldn't help but hurriedly open the military order in his hand, and after reading it, he laughed and said, "We're going to do something to Bingzhou?" It's just great! I'm worried about what to do with the more than 200,000 people in the state. Now, with the team marching west from Youzhou, we don't need to worry about the safety and logistics of our hundreds of thousands of people. ”

It turned out that there was nothing else in the military order, that is, to give Li Chenfeng an order, if the battle was won by a big victory, and the loss was small. Then, the army of these four towns did not need to turn back, and went directly south to merge the state, and recaptured the land in the north of the state from Cao Gang, the former general of Zhenbei and now the lackey of the Turks.

In addition to their army of the four towns, there were also two young guards in Youzhou, which marched west from the northwest of Youzhou and entered the northern part of Youzhou. The purpose of the Xiaoguo Army this time is to take the land of the five northern provinces of the state. Although these five prefectures occupy half of the land of the annexed states above the quota, the actual territory is only one-third. Because these five prefectures are all in the northern part of the state and the grassland, they are the forefront of resisting the grassland peoples, so now they all fall into the hands of Cao Gang.

"How can the lord know that my South Road army has won a big victory? Also, why did we suddenly make a move against Cao Gang this time? Li Chenfeng asked with a smile.

Wu Dadao: "The lord had confidence in you at that time, and when the military order was transmitted back to Youzhou, he made the Youzhou Military Affairs Department and the Government Affairs Secretary ready to deal with it, and at the same time gave you a military order. Originally, it was for you to join the Youzhou army and act together. However, I learned three days ago that you were preparing for this operation, and that you were well prepared. Therefore, the Lords of the Military Affairs Department naturally have a lot of confidence in you. Therefore, I have come to convey the military order directly to you, so that you can prepare for the invasion of the state immediately after the war. ”

"As for this Cao Gang, he is no longer the Zhenbei general of the Great Yan Kingdom. He joined forces with the Turks and harmed our Han people, and this thief should be punished. Now that we have defeated half of the Turkic army, plus the actions of the lord in the north. Well, this Turkic army, after a while, will no longer be a threat to us. Since this is the case, this Cao Gang can't stay. If we don't do it now, maybe it will fall to Situ Lei's side in the future, which will be detrimental to us. ”

"In addition, the Yongwang forces in the southern part of Bingzhou are now in the stage of power transfer, and this time is also the best time for us to take action in the northern part of Bingzhou. You must know that three of the five northern provinces were seized from the governors of the prefectures. In many places, the current garrison is still a state army. It's just that they are swaying between Situ Jian, the governor of the prefecture, and Cao Gang, the general of Zhenbei. In order to win over these people, Cao Gang did not kill all the troops of the five prefectures. Situ Jian, the governor of the state annex, was busy reorganizing the state army into the state army and making it a regular soldier. That being the case, it is natural that it is cheaper for us to last. In the end, it can still gain a foothold here and lay the foundation for future attacks and annexation of states. ”

"Originally, I had another mission, which was to check how you were doing this battle. If the losses are too great, then prepare for you to withdraw to Dingzhou, replenish the soldiers, and then march west with the army directly from the south of Dingzhou. But now it seems that your results this time have far exceeded my expectations. General Lee, congratulations! This big victory is not a small credit! ”

Li Chenfeng said with a smile: "This is not my credit, the earth-shaking thunder was unexpected, and the soldiers worked hard, which is the result of this time." However, Lord Wu, it seems that we don't have to turn back. It's better to go straight south. The tens of thousands of Turks imprisoned in this camp still have a little effect. Don't dare to say anything else, let them act at night and assist us in taking Cao Gang's city. ”

As he spoke, Li Chenfeng told him about the information he had checked. The relationship between Cao Gang and the Turks has been deeply involved. The Turkic army can even directly rest in the city under Cao Gang's jurisdiction and act recklessly. The people of the five northern provinces of the state lived under the oppression of the Turks at that time. Even some of the soldiers under Cao Gang dare to be angry and dare not speak. This time to use force against the five northern prefectures of Bingzhou, Li Chenfeng was a hundred willing.

"Lord Wu, since this is the case, then I will launch an operation tonight and let the cavalry start a surprise attack on the Daizhou counties. If you use the Turkic cavalry as a disguise, you will definitely be able to deceive the city gates. When we wait for the dawn, the entire territory of this generation of state capitals will fall into the hands of my Xiaoguo army. Li Chenfeng said in a deep voice.

Wu Zhong, the deputy military envoy, said with a smile: "In this operation, you are the commander, I just came to give orders." Since I met you in a big war, then I will also watch with the army. After all, if you haven't experienced the battlefield, how can you be considered a qualified deputy military envoy. ”

For the above decision, Li Chenfeng is naturally very happy. Speaking of which, when the battle was won, he was still considering whether to build a large army to conquer the northern part of the state. After all, if Zhao Xun won a big victory in the land of the Turkic royal court, then this Turkic tribe would not have the energy to look south to the territory of the Han people for a certain period of time. Then, in the northern part of this state, Cao Gang's department has become a lone force.

And without the support of the Turks, Cao Gang, facing the Yong army in the south and the Xiaoguo army in the east and north, he could only choose one to take refuge. According to the methods of the Xiaoguo Army, Cao Gang knew very well that his own behavior was only afraid that there would be no good way out for the Xiaoguo Army. Then, he can only fall to the Yongjun. In this way, the whole territory of this annexed state will fall into the hands of the Yongjun. This is extremely unfavorable for Xiaoguo Jun, and Li Chenfeng naturally does not want this to be the case.
