Chapter 251: Victory

The remnants of the Northern Navy on both sides were finally completely defeated under the back and forth of the cavalry on both sides, like a boning knife, especially after the fierce resistance of the personal guard soldiers were killed one after another, the remaining soldiers of the Beihai tribes completely lost the courage to fight.

The Huolin cavalry struck from their horses to the ground, and eliminated the toughest guards in the Northern Navy one by one. The size of the number and the level of morale have already determined the fate of the defeat of these pro-guard troops. But these frenzied guards continued to advance without fear on the corpses of their robes. If it weren't for the fact that the number of Huolin cavalry was greater than that of the guards and soldiers, one-on-one, the cavalry of the Huolin Army would not even be the opponent of the guards. But war is a group fighting, not an individual.

One of the most fierce guards soldiers, after the war horse was shot, rolled to the ground, and continued to fight to the death with the Huolin army. As he advanced, he suddenly found that in front of him, three swords were slashed down at him. There was no way to retreat, there was no way to avoid it, and in desperation, he could only roll on the ground, and the horizontal knife slashed out continuously, trying to chop the soles of the cavalry of the Huolin Army. However, as soon as he rolled to the ground, he suddenly found that in front of him, three more strange knives appeared, stabbing at him like lightning.

"Poof!"

Three bloody arrows flew up, and the guard soldier was fixed to the ground forever, and the scimitar was picked aside. There were three large bleeding holes in his body, all of which had been poked by the sharp tip of a knife. The hot blood quickly condensed, sealing the wound completely, and the messy snowflakes fell, slowly enveloping him, eventually mixing with the rest of the corpse. I can't tell anymore.

"Whoosh!"

Wei Chen saw a soldier-like soldier of the guard, raised his hand to shoot an arrow, but was cut in half by the other party with a scimitar. Wei Chen was annoyed and fired several arrows in a row, but the arrows were either knocked away by the scuffles of the scuffle, or blocked by the target's raised sword.

"Officer!" Wei Chen said in a lost voice, preparing to march forward and fight with the other party.

......A piercing voice came out, and the officer who Wei Chen had not shot down with several arrows was pierced by this arrow, and the arrow pierced through his body.

"Alas......" Wei Chen stopped his intention to approach, Zhao Xun personally took action, and never left a living mouth under the arrow.

The clouds were very low, the wind seemed to be strong, the heavens and the earth were crying and howling, and there were people fighting everywhere. The snow was still falling, trying to cover up the overwhelming battle, but, sadly, it failed. The snowflakes that fell one after another could only freeze the corpses and wounded on the ground. It can only hide the blood stains on the ground, but it cannot affect the two sides who are fighting.

A large number of lives have been disappearing in the passage of time, and no one knows how many corpses of the Northern Navy were buried in the messy snow, and how many soldiers of the Huolin Army died. At this juncture, no one cares about the number of casualties, no one cares who has died in battle, strategy and strategy are no longer useful, and the role of commanders is minimal, they only rely on the will and endurance of ordinary officers and soldiers.

However, due to the flight of the commander-in-chief of the Northern Navy, the Northern Navy has been completely at a disadvantage, and there have been scattered cases of surrender in some places.

Half an hour later, the battles on the Northern Front and the Eastern Front were over, and after the soldiers sent by the Northern Navy learned that the generals of the Northern Navy had fled and they were just bait, most of the remnants chose to surrender. After handing over the escort of the captives to the infantry and the soldiers of the large battalion, the three thousand cavalry turned to the western front.

After the reinforcements on the northern and eastern fronts arrived, the Northern Navy was completely in a desperate situation, and the exhausted Huolin Army also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let the cavalry battalion fight back immediately, and those who surrender will not die! At the same time, let the heavy armored battalion withdraw to the Northern Navy battalion, replace the heavy Kai, and change back to cotton clothes. ”

"Let the wounded soldiers immediately rush to the Northern Navy camp to rest!"

"Let the young and strong people in Baixian County go out of the city to help relocate the harvest in the North Navy camp. At the same time, the corpses of the soldiers were brought back as much as possible. ”

"This Northern Navy commander Li Yan has left us a little good thing. 20,000 war horses, 10,000 pack horses, 5,000 cattle, 30,000 sheep, and countless arrows. It's really in vain that we let him go back. Hearing the return, Liu Wenqi also sighed.

Zhao Xun laughed and said, "According to the captive, then Li Yan left something to delay our soldiers, what do you think?" ”

"Li Yan, I don't know much about this person, but according to his cousin, he must know our needs for those things, and he also knows that we need to let a group of people go back, so that they can cause discord between the tribes and the King of the North Sea, and deliberately leave these things, in fact, it is just to buy a life. Presumably, now he already knows that we can't stop him, but we just don't want to. Besides, didn't we remind him? ”

The reminder that Liu Wenqi said was actually Zhao Xun's volley of arrows, cutting the collar on Li Yan's chest. It is also to warn him that it is not that he can't kill you, but that he deliberately left you behind. Warn Li Yan not to fight our ideas again.

"Li Yan is also a character, and if the Beihai tribes are lively in the future, we will be able to be stable.

On November 28, the 21st year of Xuanwu, the Huolin Army defeated the invasion of the Northern Navy.

Lin Luo jumped off the horse and ran to report to Zhao Xun: "Report ...... My lord, according to statistics, a total of more than 4,000 people escaped and headed for the northeast, do we pursue? ”

Zhao Xun nodded, and said expressionlessly: "Let them go!" ”

Lin Luo said eagerly: "My lord, my subordinates can take people to chase after me, and I guarantee that no one can escape." ”

Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "No, don't chase, it's better for them to escape, the King of the North Sea slipped away halfway and borrowed the hands of my Huolin Army to weaken the Beihai Tribes." If we don't let the Beihai Ministries know about this, we will have to bear a lot of pressure. ”

"Oh...... Subordinates understood! Lin Luo suddenly realized.

"After cleaning up the bodies of the brothers, the army retreated, completely emptying the Northern Navy camp, not even their military tents."

Knowing that the Huolin Army had defeated the Northern Navy, the people in Baixian County were all cheering, and when they learned that they needed to assist the Huolin Army in relocating the loot, they immediately gathered to respond. Seeing the dense flocks of sheep and war horses, not only the people, but also Zhao Xun was overjoyed.

"My lord, although these war horses are good things, they also bring us a lot of pressure. The forage and soybeans needed by the war horses need to be urgently equipped, otherwise, these war horses will be wasted. In the cold winter season, it is also the time when the war horse loses fat the most. ”

"Also, when I go back, I will give an order, let Yanzhou Mansion start preparations, as for these war horses, they will be placed in the military horse farm in the northwest of Yanzhou City. These cattle and sheep were given to the people of Baixian County, and in order to guard Baixian County, the people here paid too much. Zhao Xun sighed.

Liu Wenqi said: "My lord is benevolent! I think that the people who come to Baixian County will be loyal to the adults. ”

Zhao Xun sighed, and finally didn't say anything......

According to post-war statistics, before and after the battle, plus those who persuaded them to surrender and booby-trap, 30,000 soldiers from the Beihai tribes, more than 11,000 surrendered, and 15,000 were killed in the battle, and in the end, only 4,500 escaped from the encirclement of the Huolin army......

In this battle, the Huolin army lost more than 3,000 infantry and more than 1,500 cavalry, which were basically caused by the final battle. But counting the resistance of nearly a month, 20,000 soldiers and young men were lost in Baixian County, plus the people, 50,000 people in Baixian County have disappeared in this battle. As for the consumption of various materials, it is no longer possible to say exact figures......

In general, it is a blessing to be able to win more with less. What's more, the people of Yanzhou Mansion have completely accepted the Huolin Army and regard the Huolin Army as the guardian of Yanzhou Mansion, which is the biggest gain of Zhao Xun and the Huolin Army.

After the battle, Zhao Xun immediately spread the news to the counties, first, to let all localities know the result of the victory. The other is to let some people who are interested weigh their own abilities, and let him evaluate for himself whether he is more powerful than the Northern Navy.

After the wounded were placed, Zhao Xun would discuss the handling of cattle and sheep with the civil official system of Baixian County. As for the cattle, they were distributed to the scarce villages and towns to serve them in arriving the land. As for the sheep, after deliberation, they were given as a bereavement to those who had contributed to the defense of the city.

In addition, there are some gains, that is, the war horses that died in battle, and the war horses that died in battle are not used for anything else, but for the people, this is meat. Zhao Xun also asked the county order Zhong Wen to distribute them one by one, so that the people could eat horse meat in winter.

This time, Zhao Xun was once again cheered and embraced by the people of the city. And Zhao Xun discussed the role of pack horses with everyone. Zhao Xun meant that a logistics team was set up to coordinate logistics affairs for all armies, especially the infantry army, and the logistics and transportation were troublesome. The logistics baggage team is responsible for the transportation of grain and grass, the replenishment of troops and armor, and even the temporary participation in the war. In this way, the army can better participate in the battle, without having to worry about logistics at all times. Some old horses or injured horses can also be disposed of in this way.

After discussion, it was basically agreed that this law was feasible, but how to establish and divide responsibilities still needs to be returned to Yanzhou City for detailed arrangements.
