At this moment, the sky is not yet light, but the moon has set in the western mountains. A cool breeze blows across the plains.

Xiao Feng's heart at the moment is also cold. Of the more than 60,000 elite Khitan soldiers, there are less than 10,000 left. Of these thousands of soldiers, not many of them had weapons, and most of them still had wounds. And the horses that the Khitan people relied on for their lives were almost lost. The horse that Xiao Feng rode was still taken from the forbidden army.

Xiao Feng only now understands the helplessness and grief of the overlord of Western Chu when he was defeated. But Xiao Feng will not learn from Xiang Yu to kill himself, because the Great Liao behind him has not yet been defeated.

The defeated army marched listlessly, and they did not know where they were going. Maybe you're going home, right? Almost all the Khitan soldiers thought so.

Except for the war between Liao and Dashun a hundred years ago, Liao has never lost like this, and it has lost so badly. Did the Khitan warriors become weaker, or did the Dashun soldiers become stronger? Or are they too superstitious about the achievements over the years, and deep down they think that Dashun is just a two-legged sheep, and let them bully?

Now that retribution has come, this big defeat, even if they fight Grass Valley hundreds of times, they can't catch it back. The Khitan population is not large, and after losing so many soldiers, they cannot recover all at once. What's even worse is that this Khitan army is still specially guarded against the northeastern and northern tribes of the Liao State, if those alien races hear the news of the defeat, they are not ready to move?

Xiao Feng thought about it for a long time, but he still didn't come out of the haze of defeat. He really couldn't understand that the sneak attack of more than 10,000 Dashun troops could make more than 60,000 Khitan soldiers mess up their positions, so that they would be defeated and lost. Those well-trained forbidden troops left a deep memory on Xiao Feng. Especially the kind of strong crossbow that could penetrate the human body within a hundred steps, he was even more surprised.

When did Dashun's bow and crossbow become so strong?

When did Dashun's army prohibit such an order?

Xiao Feng couldn't figure it out, he seemed to have the responsibility to tell the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji that he was going to change his policy towards Dashun. In a country dominated by Han Chinese, if they were serious, it would not be something that a country dominated by nomads could resist. That sheer population alone is enough to daunt all nomads.

While he was pondering, a dull sound of horses' hooves came from behind. All the Khitan soldiers turned nervously, as if facing a great enemy. They are really afraid of being beaten, it can really be said that they were bitten by a snake once and afraid of the well rope for ten years.

But the person who came seemed to be the costume of the Khitan tribe, which made thousands of Khitan soldiers settle down a little. When the people came closer, they found out that it was actually their boss, Yelu Chongyuan!

Xiao Feng hurriedly greeted him and helped Yelu Chongyuan off the horse. Yelu Chongyuan was shocked and shouted, "Quick, save my son!" ”

Xiao Feng was taken aback and said, "Didn't General Nerugu escape?" ”

Yelu Chongyuan seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, tightly pulled Xiao Feng's armor, and said: "Shunjun will make demon law, will make demon law!" They had something like an iron rod in their hands, and fire erupted from it, killing people in one fell swoop......"

Xiao Feng was taken aback, he originally thought that Yelu Chongyuan was stupid and talking nonsense. But it seems that Yelu Chongyuan's thinking is quite clear, and it doesn't seem like talking nonsense. That is to say, there is also a weapon similar to demon law in the Dashun army, which can kill people with fire?

Yelu Chongyuan continued: "...... I broke through with Nerugu, but I didn't expect that there was an ambush on the side of the road. There were about 600 people, and it was not really visible in the dark. They killed a lot of people at once, and my own soldiers desperately sent me out of the encirclement, so that I could escape, and see you, General Xiao! However, my son Nerugu may have been poisoned......"

Xiao Feng was silent, and while the army was defeated, what hit morale even more was that the general died again. Although Yelu Nerugu has developed limbs and is simple-minded, his bravery is recognized by all Khitan warriors.

At this time, outside the burned Khitan military camp, more than 10,000 forbidden soldiers escorted the surrendered Khitan soldiers, and were reporting to Wang Shao with a smile. Wang Shao was about to speak, but saw a cavalry army jogging over in the distance. Looking at its costumes, Wang Shao knew that it was a border army.

Wang Shao didn't care about watching the results of the battle, so he grabbed the horse's belly and greeted him. I saw that the border army general on the horse was majestic, holding a back stabbing knife, and the knife was full of dark red bloodstains. There were also traces of blood, dripping from between the cracks of the knife.

The general over there handed the hemp knife to the soldiers behind him, turned over and dismounted. Wang Shao also hurriedly dismounted, and the two of them arched their hands together and said: "Youzhou guerrilla Zhu Daguang!" ”

"Forbidden Army Commander Wang Shao!"

"Luck, luck!"

Zhu Daguang sighed: "Commander Wang, the last general really didn't expect that you would come to the rescue, and you were surprised and won the battle." ”

Wang Shao said with a smile: "It was Your Majesty who made up his mind that the Khitans could no longer be so rampant, so he ordered the last general to lead 20,000 forbidden troops to seek fighters." Fortunately, he made a contribution in one fell swoop and lived up to his holy hopes. ”

Zhu Daguang had long been very curious about the little emperor who had just ascended the throne for more than three years, and asked tentatively: "Does Commander Wang think that the current saint intends to counterattack the Khitan?" "He has been riding horses all his life, and he is extremely eager to make meritorious achievements, and the horse has stepped on Yin Mountain, so he has this question.

Wang Shao smiled and said: "Your Majesty's ambition, how can you not only counterattack the Khitan?" I'm afraid that if there is any hope for dominating the grasslands, Your Majesty will do the same. By the way, Your Majesty has an edict for the last general to tell the soldiers to hear. ”

All the border soldiers immediately dismounted and said in unison: "Congratulations to the Holy Will!" ”

Wang Shao immediately announced the new rewards, new promotions, and new pension system formulated by Lu Chengqi himself, which immediately made the border army boil. But the forbidden army looked funny, if it were the same as before, they would definitely be like this. But now, they have become silent.

Wang Shao continued: "If there are those who meet the conditions for promotion, Your Majesty will let you enter the Royal Military Academy for further study. entered the Royal Military Academy, and he was a protΓ©gΓ© of the Son of Heaven. If you are selected to the Supervision Division, you can also become the pro-army of the Son of Heaven. In short, if there is military merit, there will be everything! ”

When the border troops heard this, they cheered even more. Originally, their wish was to be enough soldiers for ten years, save some military salaries, return to their hometowns to marry a mother-in-law, and buy two acres of thin land to live a poor life as a small peasant. But now it seems that their future is very bright!

After Wang Shao announced Lu Chengqi's command, he turned around and asked the captain next to him: "What are the casualties in this battle?" ”

The lieutenant hastened to reply: "Our army has 552 killed and 800 wounded, of whom 129 are seriously wounded. He captured 16,7823 Khitan soldiers and killed 8,374 enemies. ”

Wang Shao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He knew early on that the battle was won, but he didn't know anything about how it was fought and what the casualty ratio was. In fact, the Khitans would not have died so much, most of their deaths were due to self-chaos, and their own people trampled to death in a panic. Still others were burned to death by the fire, but they were in the minority.

What distressed Wang Shao the most was the more than 1,000 casualties of the forbidden army. Although there is a war, casualties are inevitable. But the more life you spare, the more veteran you have. In a strong army, the greatest wealth is not weapons and equipment, but veterans who have been on the battlefield and seen blood. They are often the true soul of an army, and what unites these souls are officers at all levels, and officers are the brains of the army.

Suddenly, Wang Shao remembered something and asked, "Has anyone seen the musket team?" ”

The musketeers are the name given to the forbidden army that uses strange weapons. Everyone didn't understand what the musket meant, and asked the forbidden soldiers with strange weapons, but the forbidden soldiers of the musket team smiled mysteriously and never answered.

All the forbidden soldiers shook their heads, and Wang Shao frowned. He was a little suspicious of Lu Chengqi's order, and he was not allowed to interfere in the battle of the musket team, what did this mean, was it because he was afraid that he would not be able to command? If the musket team that Lu Chengqi cares about the most is gone, even if Wang Shao wins the battle, it is estimated that Lu Chengqi will not spare him.
