This battle ended with a complete victory for Liu Yijun.
In the end, the Hun cavalry, who had no time to escape, were forced by the soldiers of Liu Yi's army to surrender on their knees, and surrendered more than 100,000 troops.
The king of the Huns, Yu Fuluo, saw that the defeat was decided, and the frontal impact could not be made, and the Liu Yi soldiers on the flanks were in a strict array, and the long soldiers and archers were powerful, and their cavalry repeatedly attacked, and they could not break through the formation of the Liu Yi soldiers, and they were all driven back. Therefore, under the construction of the forest road, the cavalry was ordered to forcibly break through a bloody road in the corner of the iron thistle array, so that a way to escape was barely opened.
Lin Dao offered a plan, first let a part of the cavalry dismount, then tie the branches to the tail, and rush the war horses into the thistle terrestris array from the same place in batches, paving a flesh and blood escape road at the fastest speed.
In this way, they could escape from three or four tens of thousands of cavalry, Huang Xu couldn't block it, pursued all the way to Pingyang County, and killed tens of thousands of their deserters before collecting their troops back. It's a pity that the Xiongnu king Yu Fuluo escaped.
It was a service, and the bed crossbow made the greatest meritorious service, and in the end, it was counted that 30,000 Hun cavalry were shot and killed, and more than 10,000 were seriously wounded. The armies attacking on both sides also gained a lot, shooting and killing more than 20,000 Hun cavalry, and wounding countless people.
And the army on their own side suffered very little damage. Sergeant injuries, mainly when the Hun cavalry tried to break through from the flank, forcibly attacked the flank army, it was at that time that there was a certain impact on Sergeant Lewy, but the casualties were really not more than a thousand. Huang Xu's cavalry had two or three thousand casualties. The main reason is that he saw that Yu Fuluo was about to break through the Tribulus terrestris array, and he was about to break through, and he waved his army to fight with the Hun cavalry who rushed out of the formation, trying to plug the gap and fight together, which caused such a large casualty. In fact, at that time, the Hun army had already become a group of beasts, and when they saw a chance to escape, they would not let it go. Everyone was red-eyed, and the Hun cavalry, which became a battle of trapped beasts, burst out with a kind of courage and stubbornly attacked Huang Xu's cavalry, allowing them to flee tens of thousands of horses.
But. comparatively. This victory can really be said to be a big victory. With only 3,000 or 4,000 casualties, he killed 50,000 or 60,000 horses of the Xiongnu army and captured more than 100,000 Hun cavalry. This has to be said to be a feat.
What made Liu Yi even happier was. This time, he won 100,000 war horses from the hands of the Huns, and together, Liu Yi now has 200,000 war horses. Right now. Finally, a real elite cavalry can be formally formed, and a team of 100,000 sergeants can be formed. A powerful expeditionary cavalry with one man and two horses.
A large number of ordnance and other materials. It's a pity that the Huns moved together with the Huns this time, and those Hun herdsmen are their logistics baggage team, and now, those herdsmen can't come so quickly with the army, and if you want to get the food of the Huns, you have to wait for the recovery of the state and the collection all the way. But those. Most of them are live cattle and sheep. Therefore, he did not get any food from the Xiongnu soldiers, and the extra 100,000 prisoners were equivalent to asking Liu Yi to pay an extra amount of food. None of that is either, though. Captives, no, it should be said, these are slaves. As long as there is something to eat, it is okay not to let them starve to death. You don't have to be treated like a Han Chinese.
This time, although they did not let the killing-loving generals like Dian Wei and Yan Liang really fight with the Huns, this victory made them more excited than killing those Hun cavalry one by one with their own hands.
The power of the bed crossbow was so strong that after the battle, they went to the corpses of the Hun cavalry to inspect them, and many of them couldn't help but vomit at the terrible situation of broken flesh all over the ground. Like Gan Ning, the initiator, when he saw that kind of situation, he was a little pale, and he couldn't eat meat afterwards, which shows how disgusting the place that has been ravaged by the bed crossbow is. Countless curious sergeants couldn't help but cover their mouths and vomit.
This battle quickly spread to all parts of the Han Dynasty, and everyone cheered for the victory of Liu Yi's army in defeating the Xiongnu army of more than 200,000 people, and ran for this victory.
Especially the people in the Luoyang area, when they heard that the Hun army was coming, everyone was in a heavy mood, and they didn't expect that the facts were so simple and so quickly for Liu Yi to solve. As soon as the mood was relaxed, they celebrated the whole city as if it was a New Year's holiday.
Of course, this time the bed crossbow was used, and the news spread far and wide, and the princes of the world all knew that Liu Yi had a big killer weapon like the bed crossbow, and unconsciously increased their nervousness, and they were a little more wary of Liu Yi.
In fact, the bed crossbow, after using it once, may not be easy to use the second time. Everyone is on guard, and there are so many restrictions on the use of bed crossbows, and if you are on guard, I am afraid that it will be difficult to do miraculous feats again. In addition, the transportation was not very convenient, and in the end, Liu Yi asked Gan Ning and Yan Liang to transport these thousands of bed crossbows back to Luoyang and set them up at the head of Luoyang City to shock others, so that the princes of the world would no longer dare to fight Luoyang's idea. In the future, especially the bed crossbows remanufactured by the Dongting Lake Xinzhou Base, most of them will be installed on warships, and they will not be sent to Luoyang in batches.
In the future, even if they fought with the princes of the world, they knew that Liu Yi had such a devastating weapon, and they would definitely not be so easy to ambush. In addition, it is inconvenient to transport, so if it is not necessary, it will not really carry a bed crossbow with the army. Unless, like this time, the plan is made and the design is used, the bed crossbow will be used.
As soon as this battle was over, the overall situation of the state was basically in the hands of Liu Yi.
In the plain camp, in addition to Gan Ning and Yan Liang leading an army to return to Luoyang to sit in the town, there are more than 100,000 troops resting.
In the military tent, Liu Yi was discussing the next action with several military generals.
In fact, there is no need to discuss it, Liu Yi and everyone have already reached a consensus earlier, and they should take this opportunity to completely control the merger of the state and implement a series of ideas for Liu Yi to govern the state.
In the end, it was decided that Tai Shici led an army of 100,000 to enter Hexi, and purged the remnants of the forces in Hexi all the way, including the Huns, local bandits and robbers, in short, all the forces harmful to the local people must be cleaned up. At the same time, every time a city or town was captured, court officials were quickly dispatched to form an official government to achieve substantial rule over the locality.
Dian Wei led an army of 10,000 people, and the tun army was at the junction of Shangdang and Hedong, forming a kind of coercion and containment of Shangdang Zhangyang, and paying attention to his actions at any time. In fact, Shangdang is public, his strength is not too big, if it is not for occupying a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Liu Yi really wants to take advantage of the situation. So. Liu Yi thought that it was not okay to go to the party to publicize it, and asked Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and others to draft some persuasion documents to send to Zhang Yang, even if they could not persuade Zhang Yang, they could also form a coercion on him and make him dare not move lightly.
As long as the party is public, they dare not move lightly. Lewi was able to concentrate. The state was regained and annexed.
Zhang Yang really didn't dare to move, but only transferred troops to strictly prevent Liu Yi from sending troops into the party, but he did not surrender to Liu Yi.
It doesn't matter anymore. At that moment, he ordered Huang Xu to lead 20,000 cavalry and tens of thousands of troops. After recovering Pingyang County and Yang County, Liu Yi, Guo Jiaxi, Zhicai, Jia Xu and others also led the army into Yang County and prepared to attack Jinyang.
The more than 200,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu in Fuluo are now equal to the annihilation of the entire army. Only tens of thousands of troops fled with him back to Jinyang. He no longer has the strength to fight Lewy.
Liu Yi did not directly wave his army to attack Jinyang, just to beware of the Huns escaping too quickly. Therefore, there was no rush to attack, because Zhao Yun's army had to be given a certain amount of time to let Zhao Yun lead the army to seize Yamen County and cut off the exit route for the Huns who entered the Bingzhou area. Only in this way could Liu Yi obtain a large number of Xiongnu herdsmen as slaves, as well as seize the cattle and sheep assets of these Xiongnu herdsmen.
As for the Xiongnu king Yu Fuluo. Whether he can escape or not, Liu Yi actually doesn't care too much, after this battle, the Huns will not pose any threat to the Han in the near future.
Today, hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu herdsmen who entered the Bingzhou area with the Xiongnu king. They have already been scattered in Shangjun, Beidi and other counties, even if the Xiongnu king wants to take them out of the fortress again, it will be too late.
Before Liu Yi planned to ambush and annihilate the Xiongnu army between Wenxi and Pingyang, he had already sent someone to inform Zhao Yun quickly. So, the night after the battle began. Zhao Yun suddenly led his army across the Great Wall, from the Heishan area of Changshan County, Jizhou, into Bingzhou, avoiding Yuan Shao's army in the Montenegrin area, and at dawn the next day, he suddenly raided the two cities of Baima and Leping, and captured the two cities of Baima and Leping occupied by Yuan Shao's army, and controlled them in his hands.
Because it was a surprise attack, there were few casualties on both sides, and Zhang He, who was guarding the town of Baima, led his army to flee and fled back to the Black Mountain area. The two cities of Baima and Leping have fallen into the hands of Zhao Yun, and the city of Shouyang in the middle, the guard will know that the left and right cities are lost, and Shouyang will definitely not be guaranteed, so he sent someone to send a letter to Zhao Yun, hoping that Shouyang City can be used as a condition in exchange for the lives of their defenders, and hope that Zhao Yun can let them withdraw to Jizhou.
Even if Zhao Yun captured the two cities of Baima and Leping, he was very restrained, in order not to have too much friction with Yuan Shaojun, so as not to provoke Yuan Shao's reaction too much. Therefore, Zhao Yun agreed to the conditions of the Shouyang defenders, sent the army to send them to leave the state, and the soldiers won the city of Shouyang without bloodshed.
Capturing these three cities is equivalent to obtaining the gateway between Bingzhou and Jizhou, these three cities are very important, leaving a general Pan Feng to lead the army to guard the three cities.
Zhao Yun's army had only 80,000 military horses, and the three cities of Baima, Leping, and Shouyang had to leave at least a few thousand defenders in each city. Zhao Yun left 5,000 military horses in each city, and another 5,000 cavalry to Pan Feng, so that he could be the main general of the three cities.
There were 60,000 soldiers and horses left, and Zhao Yun and Gao Shun each led 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the soldiers were divided into two roads and advanced to Yamen Pass.
Gao Shun had followed Lu Bu to fight in Bingzhou for many years, and was very familiar with the geography of the Bingzhou region, so Gao Shun led an army directly to Yamen County. It is mainly to seize the cliff gate. In addition, Zhao Yun led an army to march along the Great Wall between Bingzhou and Youzhou, and captured the Great Wall as quickly as possible. This section of the Great Wall can be said to be the Inner Great Wall, but it is also thousands of miles, in peacetime, in fact, there will not be too many troops stationed, unless there is a war, but there will be very few battles between this section of the Great Wall. Because, on both sides of the Great Wall, there are lofty mountains, and there will be no big battles in these places. The main purpose of this Great Wall is to prevent the alien races in the territory of Bingzhou from entering the Youzhou and Hebei regions.
At that time, it was still the Warring States Period, and the land of the state was the border of the Qin State, but a large part of the area was the Xiongnu, and the Huns would send troops to attack the Zhao State and the Yan State on the side of the Great Wall from time to time. This Great Wall was built by the Zhao State and the Yan State at that time. Later, the Qin Emperor was unified, whether it was the land of the annexation of the state, or the land of Zhao and Yan, it was the land of the Han people, so that the Great Wall separating the three states of Merger, Hebei and Youzhou, its existence did not have much significance, so the Chinese people generally did not spend too much manpower and material resources to repair.
However, in the current period of war, when the princes of the world are divided, this Great Wall will have very important strategic significance. Zhao Yun led the army to occupy it. It is equivalent to proving to others that in the future, this Great Wall will be the national boundary between the New Han Dynasty and other princes, and play a symbolic significance.
Of course, more important. The northern end of the Great Wall. Connected to the outer Great Wall, the junction is very close to the base of Yicheng in Youzhou and Dazepo in Zhuo County, Zhuo County, and occupies this Great Wall. In the future, if there is any accident at the Dazepo base, Liu Yi can also send troops from Bingzhou and quickly send troops from the Great Wall to support the base.
And also. If Liu Yi wants to occupy the vast state of Bingzhou, then he must also assume his due responsibility, and he must garrison the army on the Great Wall and the various passes where he has cleared customs with the foreign races outside the Saiwai Province, and take on the important task of resisting the foreign races outside the Saiwai Dynasty. This is also the true meaning of Zhao Yun's army occupying the Great Wall.
Yu Fuluo escaped death and fled back to Jinyang City.
Along the way, he vomited several liters of blood and was saddened by the loss of 200,000 troops.
After returning to Jinyang, he had even more headaches.
He's now. There were only twenty or thirty thousand cavalry, and it can be said that they had completely lost the hope of occupying the annexed state, and they could only withdraw from the outside of the fortress when Liu Yi's army attacked, otherwise. He will no longer be as lucky as when he led the army into Bingzhou with the first king, and finally he can lead most of the army west back to Saiwai. Now, he has almost lost all the losses of the army, and he has lost the possibility of competing with Liu Yi again. As soon as Lewy's army arrived, he was dead.
But. The problem he faced was that he couldn't just run away like this, and there were hundreds of thousands of Xiongnu herdsmen in the state, and those were his foundations, if he didn't bring these herdsmen back to Saiwai, then he would really become a sinner of the Huns. Not to mention the loss of 200,000 troops, even hundreds of thousands of tribesmen were lost in Bingzhou. How can this keep Yu Fuluo from having a headache?
Only now did he know his mistake, he knew that he was too impatient, he should not have moved his people into the state so rashly, at least, he couldn't do that until he really won the state, before he was sure of it. But who knew that Liu Yi actually used such a despicable and shameless way to cause him to lose 200,000 troops? Yes, he felt that Liu Yi was very despicable and shameless, not only rude, but also very shameless.
Obviously, there is no danger place, but Liu Yi has calculated, and Yu Fuluo's heart is depressed.
He always felt that he couldn't just run away, he had to do something for his people. Therefore, he immediately sent fast horses, so that the fast horses could notify the Huns in Bingzhou as quickly as possible, so that they could know for the first time that the Xiongnu army was over, and it was no longer safe in Bingzhou, so that they could leave Bingzhou as soon as possible and could no longer stay in Bingzhou.
In addition to sending people to inform the clansmen to let the clansmen flee and merge the state, he also thought about defending Jinyang to the death, using his 30,000 military horses to defend Jinyang. Because, when others are in Jinyang, they will inevitably be able to attract and contain Liu Yi's army, and they can add more time for their Huns to evacuate and annex the state.
Under the deep self-blame, Yu Fuluo actually had a desperate desire to hold on to Jinyang, and he would not flee until all the clansmen fled and merged with the state.
It's a pity that he thought wrong again, Liu Yi didn't immediately lead the army to attack him, but sent all the troops out. If Yu Fuluo is really determined to stay in Jinyang, then he will definitely be a dead end.
However, on the first day he fled back to Jinyang, he panicked.
He received a letter from the spies, and knew that the three cities of Baima, Leping, and Shouyang had fallen into the hands of Liu Yijun silently, and he didn't know where these Liu Yijun came from. Yuan Shaojun occupied the three cities of Baima and others, but he did not dare to fight with them head-on with the Huns, but Liu Yijun was different. And, you must know that from White Horse City to Yamen Pass, the distance from Jinyang to Yamen Pass is closer, Liu Yijun suddenly appeared in his rear, in case Liu Yijun killed Yamen Pass one step ahead of him and recaptured Guancheng, then, it would be difficult for him to escape and merge with the state.
In addition, there was a spy express, saying that it was discovered that Liu Yi had sent troops into Hexi and began to recover all parts of Hexi, and it was believed that he would soon attack Beidi and Shangjun.
In this way, Yu Fuluo knew that everything was over, he now did not have many soldiers and horses in his hands, and he could no longer become a big weapon, Liu Yi fought with him, there was almost no loss, and there were more than 200,000 troops, and there was also Liu Yi's army that suddenly appeared in White Horse City.
Yu Fuluo's attempt to contain Liu Yi's army and buy more time for his people to evacuate was still not feasible in the end. Under the advice of the Xiongnu leaders who escaped, Yu Fuluo finally led his army to abandon Jinyang and fled with the defeated army.
Before leaving, Yu Fuluo did not dare to massacre Jinyang City, there were not many residents in the city, he did not want to anger Liu Yi because of the massacre, and he also retaliated with the Huns in Bingzhou.
In his heart, he still has some fantasies, hoping that Liu Yi will not kill all the Huns he has entered Bingzhou, and it is best to leave their people to live in Bingzhou, even if it is to be slaves, so that his Huns can be stationed in Bingzhou. Even if he is a slave, as long as he lives, he believes that his Xiongnu clan will take root in Bingzhou.
