Chapter 297: The Sanggan River Victory
The people nearby saw a bloody arrow flying straight into the sky, and when they looked closely, their hearts were even more shocked, and they didn't know when the head of the Tatar general was gone. But the body was still straight on the saddle, and if you didn't look closely, you didn't know that the warrior was dead. A group of Tatar rangers nearby couldn't help but say: Warriors are not the opponent of that person, and now that the army is defeated, what if you kill that person, it is better to save your own life! Everyone unanimously chose to turn the horse's head, and in a few moments it was already scattered.
A soldier of the Lu Long Army couldn't help but look overjoyed and shouted, "General Ge! Your Highness is here! ”
"Ahh When Ge Congzhou heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said in his heart: Isn't Your Highness already dead in battle? But after a moment, Ge Congzhou understood that he was afraid that this place was either the corpse of His Highness, or the Tatar commander had deceived everyone. But no matter what it is, Ge Congzhou also hopes that Li Cunhuan will have nothing to do.
Coming to the edge of the stone platform, Ge Congzhou's heart couldn't help sinking, Li Cunhuan was lying in the depression of the stone platform, and if he didn't look closer, he didn't know that the famous His Royal Highness King Qin Li Cunhuan was lying here.
However, Li Cunhuan's situation did not improve much because Ge Congzhou killed and dispersed the Tatar rangers, and the situation was still not optimistic, and a light javelin was slanted into Li Cunhuan's chest. In order to make Li Cunhuan breathe smoothly, the soldiers had already taken off Li Cunhuan's helmet and mask and placed them on the edge of the stone platform. Li Cunhuan's unusually pale face was revealed.
His lips were already frighteningly white, and Li Cunhuan's eyes were a little puffy. But fortunately, Li Cunhuan was still quite awake, hearing the sound of horses' hooves, his eyes slowly moved Ge Congzhou's body, but his eyes were blank, and his lips squirmed slightly.
Ge Congzhou hurriedly climbed from the horse to the stone platform, and his ears came to Li Cunhuan's mouth. However, he didn't hear what Li Cunhuan said at all, even the sound of breathing was very weak, and Ge Congzhou estimated that Li Cunhuan couldn't even speak now. My heart sank even more. hurriedly shouted: "Your Highness is here!" His Highness did not die! Fast! Come to the medics! ”
Hearing Ge Congzhou's words, the soldiers nearby couldn't help but perk up, one to ten, ten to hundred. In a few moments, the morale of Lu Long's entire army soared, but at this time he hated the Tatars even more. It was all because the Tatars deceived the feelings of all the soldiers of the Lu Long Army, and more importantly, they were also recruited. The Lu Dragoons were even more wolf-like under the surprise and anger, and the Tatars, who had always believed that they were steppe wolves, would become veritable lambs, and they would be killed by the Lu Dragoons.
Shuozhou Thorn Shi An Jiuzhi let out a long sigh, knowing that the probability of the salted fish turning over at this time was not much greater than the probability of fishing for the moon in the water. Then he hung his head and said: "Order the whole army, lay down your arms and flags, we ...... We've surrendered! The tone was indescribably gloomy and helpless.
The Shuozhou army also knew that not to look at the current battlefield, the Lu Long army may not have one-tenth of the Tatar Shuozhou coalition army combined. But the battlefield is about morale, and if morale is gone, even if there are millions of troops, it is useless. This truth has existed since ancient times, and the battle of Weishui, the battle of Guandu, the battle of Chibi, etc., is ironclad proof.
The surrender of the Shuozhou army was really like a fuse, and immediately countless Tatar rangers who had been caught up by Lu Long's army, or who had been killed, turned over and dismounted, laid down all their weapons, and shouted surrender, starting with one by two. It has slowly evolved into a team of ten, a team of hundreds, and a team of five hundred people who surrender to each other. It was as if the army of more than 100,000 Tatars had laid down their arms and surrendered to the Lu Long army.
Standing on the high slope and refusing to retreat, Asde's face was blue at first, but now his face was as pale as a shearling skin on the prairie.
"O Almighty Delechin! Why did you make me appear in this world! But let Li Cunhuan appear in this world! Could it be that my existence is to become a stepping stone for Li Cunhuan! When Ashdena said this, he couldn't help but feel affected by his incurable disease, and a mouthful of slightly black blood spit out and fell to the ground, and there was actually a small blood clot that had coagulated.
"Ahem! Cough! Asdena raised her right hand as she coughed, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth. There was a look of madness on his pale face. "Delechin! I won't let you get your way! I, Asster, am a hero who stands up to the heavens and the earth, even if he dies, he will not die in the hands of the disease! ”
Asdena picked up a long knife that had pierced into the ground, looked up to the sky and roared, "Come on! I'm Asteena here! Don't you want to avenge Li Cunhuan! I'm right here! Ha! Ha! Ha! I killed Li Cunhuan, the bedbug! ”
Ashedna's roar ushered in the wrath of countless Lu Dragoons, many of whom gave up the pursuit of the Tatar rangers who were almost there, and angrily surrounded the small hill where Ashdena was located.
A soldier was just about to charge, and Li Qianyu, who had just arrived, stopped the soldier who was about to charge, and there was a trace of anger in his eyes. roared: "Let him die with ten thousand arrows through his heart!" A knife past, which makes this guy too happy! ”
"That's right! Can't afford to be cheap this guy! ”
"What Commander Li said is not wrong!"
Among the soldiers, they immediately remembered a chorion, and Li Qianyu gave an order. Dozens of arrows shot out.
Ashdena didn't know if he had fallen into madness, or if he was really not afraid, and while waving his long knife to block the arrows, he laughed and said, "Good coming! It's not a soldier of Li Cunhuan's bedbug! There are a few levels, but our Tatar talent is the best in the world! Ha! Ha! Ha! ……”
When the soldiers of the Lu Long Army heard this, they were even more angry, and the riding bows in their hands were pulled quickly, and countless arrows shot towards Ashdena like flying locusts. Asedena has good martial arts, but it doesn't mean that Asdena is invincible. In just a moment, no less than thirty arrows had been inserted in Ashedna's body, and the ground beneath Ashedna's feet was soaked with blood and arrows.
Ashed's long knife was clenched and stuck in the ground, and Ashed knelt down on one knee, his head still held high, and looked at everyone, including the Tatars, with a sneering expression. I don't know what he, a loser, can ridicule, and what is worthy of his ridicule.
Li Qianyu snorted coldly, and suddenly rode his horse, and the Tang knife in his hand was infinitely enlarged in Ashde's eyes. Asdena tried to block it, but he found that he had no strength. The whole person felt tired like never before, and his eyelids involuntarily closed slowly.
A stream of blood arrows rose, and Ashde's half-closed eyes fell to the ground heavily, and Li Qianyu still couldn't understand his hatred. Turning the horse's head and reining in the reins, the horseman stood up, and a pair of iron horsemen landed heavily on Ashedna's body, and the bowl-sized horse's hooves trampled Ashedna's body to pieces. The war also ended with the death of Ashdena.
Fortunately, Li Cunhuan was hit by the javelin. But after a military doctor's diagnosis, Li Cunhuan was not actually in danger of life. This is also due to the fact that Li Cunhuan did not take off half of his body armor and put on the Mingguang armor in order to be in a hurry. Coupled with its own steel wire soft armor, it is heavier, but the armor adds up to nearly forty, which is comparable to the weight of the equipment equipped with iron horses. And in addition, Li Cunhuan's equipment is ordinary equipment, so Li Cunhuan did not receive much damage.
And Li Cunhuan's most serious injury is the internal injury, which was shocked by the javelin, but the external injury is a little lighter, and there is nothing wrong with the lungs. However, it is still necessary to recuperate for at least a month. Ge Congzhou, Zhou Dewei, Zhou Yanpet and others who were frightened by Li Cunhuan's javelin and lost their three souls, and the seven spirits couldn't cry or laugh.
After Li Cunhuan woke up, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, he finally showed his might, but every time it seemed that nothing good had come out. Where is Qingzhou once, after resting for nearly half a year, it didn't take long to recover, and Shuozhou was injured again. Li Cunhuan pondered that he had to find a fierce general to come over to protect him.
It is also a pity that this battle was a great victory. 60,000 Tatars surrendered, this was still because the Lu Dragoons were red-eyed and unwilling to accept prisoners, scaring away a group and killing a group. Otherwise, Li Cunhuan would have 10,000 more prisoners. Killed 18,000 enemies and dyed the Sanggan River into a river of blood, of which about 6,000 were squeezed down the Sanggan River.
An Jiuwei surrendered, and at the same time cooperated with Zhou Dewei very interestingly to order Shuozhou to block all roads to the north. Although this will ruin Shuozhou, after Li Cunhuan found out, he did not blame Zhou Dewei for making suggestions. Because the Tatars are injured, it will be much easier for him Li Cunhuan to recover the steppe, and no matter how big the loss is in his own territory, it will not be heavy when he competes with the Tatars on the steppe.
It is estimated that in this battle, no more than 20,000 Tatars will be able to escape. You must know that there are more than 123,000 Tatars who entered the Great Wall this time, and the Tatars who were able to escape in the end are probably frightened.
After Li Cunhuan pondered for a while, he immediately made a decision and sent Xie Yanzhang and Yuan Xingqin to lead 6,000 Yuan cavalry and 4,000 cavalry from Shuozhou to form a 10,000 cavalry army to go north. In addition, he sent someone to appoint Yelu Abaoji as the head of the Monan camp and the envoy of the Monan expedition, on behalf of the Son of Heaven to conquer the Tatar barbarians who were not subordinate and went against the sky, and was in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Han army in Monan.
Yuan Xingqin was the deputy head of the Monan camp, and he also commanded the Shuozhou and Yuan Congjun Horse Army, and recorded the affairs of the army.
Xie Yanzhang was the pioneer officer of the Monan Battalion, and he also joined the army.
In fact, it is the 8,000 men and horses on hand of Yelu Abaoji and the 10,000 cavalry brought by Yuan Xingqin and Xie Yanzhang, the so-called commander-in-chief of the soldiers and horses of the Panhan Han Army, which is nominally a little better, and it also allows Yelu Abaoji to win over the tribes on the grassland. As much as he co-opted, Yelu Abaoji will have as many soldiers.
However, Li Cunhuan himself was not comfortable, in the battle of Sanggan River, Li Cunhuan was certainly a great victory, and the total number of captured, killed, and surrendered was nearly 90,000, you must know that when Ashdena first came, there were only 133,000 people in total. That is, in this battle the Tatars lost nearly two-thirds of their soldiers. To be able to have such a harvest, the payment is naturally not light.
Fu Cunxian didn't know if it was good luck or bad luck, he was beaten down the Sanggan River and found by a group of fishermen downstream, but he was stripped naked. It was the fishermen who sold Fu Cunxian's clothes and armor that were discovered, but Fu Cunzhen was also dying. The doctor said that Fu Cunzhen should not recuperate for a year and a half, don't want to ride a horse, and walk for at least three or four months, and he has to rely on crutches to assist. As for going into battle to kill the enemy again, it will be a year later, not to mention.
Of the 16,000 crossbowmen and infantry of the Long March Army under Fu Cunxian's command, more than 4,000 were killed and more than 6,000 were wounded, so more than 5,700 people were able to continue fighting. With the addition of 3,000 cavalry, there are less than 10,000 people who can fight in a short time.
Li Cunhuansuo appointed Yuan Zhongxu, the deputy commander of the Long March Army, to act as Fu Cunxian, and part-time led the Long March Army to guard the Tatar prisoners in Daizhou, take care of the wounded and sick, and guard the grain and grass. In addition, the other armies combined suffered more than 6,000 casualties.
In addition, Li Cunhuan sent Yuan Xingqin and Xie Yanzhang to take away 10,000 cavalry, and now Li Cunhuan plus Zhou Dewei's Zuo Yan [***], the soldiers and horses on hand are only in the early 40,000s, plus Wang Maozhang's side, the number has reached 70,000.
Li Cunhuan rested near Yanmen Pass for three days, and then led his soldiers and horses south to Xinzhou through Daizhou. When Li Cunhuan came to Xinzhou, it was already mid-April. The temperature also warmed up a lot, which made Li Cunhuan's wound inflamed. But it scared Zhou Dewei, Zhou Yanpet, Wang Maozhang, Ge Congzhou and other henchmen and generals in fear.
Several people rarely agreed and strongly demanded that Li Cunhuan recuperate from his injuries in peace and that he could no longer manage government affairs and military affairs. Even the horse was not allowed to be ridden by Li Cunhuan. Zhou Yanpet even let the three large carriages seized from the Tatars be converted into a small palace that could be moved, pulled by twelve horses and four oxen, and it was divided into a study, a bedroom, a servant's room, a living room, and a white tiger hall. Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
However, Li Cunhuan didn't like it very much, thinking it was too extravagant. But I don't know if Zhou Yanpet knows Li Cunhuan's surname, or because he is in a hurry. The small palace is not luxurious, and the wood is also a little miscellaneous, all of which are made of wood collected by soldiers from the mountains, not some expensive gold silk wood, sandalwood, etc. The furnishings inside are also the 'contributions' of some large households. Although the things that are 'contributed' by large families are good, in the case of powerful families, they are just general. It was precisely because he was not poor and extravagant that Li Cunhuan agreed half-pushed.
…… April 16th... Shiling Pass ...... "General, the town guard envoy Hao Yi invited the general to his official residence for a gathering, and discussed the battle against Lu Long!" A personal soldier came to Shi Jianjiao, who was standing on the corner tower, and reported respectfully.
"Hao Yi!? He's looking for me, huh! He's a guy who tells the truth, and he still has the face to feast me! Don't go! Shi Jianjiao snorted coldly and cut the railway. There are no impermeable walls in this world. Hao Yi sent the captain of his own army to sue Li Siyuan, and now, although everyone does not know about it, Shi Jianjiao, who is already a middle-to-upper-level general, still knows about it, and naturally he is very wrong about Hao Yi, who framed his uncle Li Siyuan.
Frame? That's right, in Shi Jianjiao's heart, Li Siyuan is absolutely innocent, and Hao Yi framed him. It's a pity that Shi Jianjin is soft-spoken, and besides, Li Siyuan is dead now, what else can Shi Jianjiao say? Do you want to scold Rick for a beating? I'm afraid that Shi Jianjiao himself doesn't have the courage, and even if he does, it will inevitably outweigh the losses. Shi Jianjiao is not a person without political wisdom, so naturally he will not do such a thankless task.
However, he can't afford to offend Li Keyong, but for Yu Haoyi, Shi Jianjiao has no good face and scruples. People with a bit of status in Shiling Pass know that the relationship between Shi Jianjiao and Hao Yi is not an exaggeration even if it is incompatible with water and fire.
The captain of the pro-soldier on one side hesitated, and then persuaded: "General, now that the enemy is present, even if General Hao Yi has anything wrong, he has to repel the enemy." Now it's fighting in the nest, and it's not cheap in the end, Li Cunhuan. ”
When Shi Jianjiao heard this, he pondered for a moment, and said hatefully: "It's okay! Instead of cheap Li Cunhuan, it's better to cheap this guy, you go back and tell Hao Yi, I'll be there in a while! ”
"Yes!" The pro-soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard this, the immortals were fighting, and it was not the soldiers below them who were unlucky. How good it is to be in harmony! The soldiers really didn't understand why Shi Jianjiao and Hao Yi were so incompatible.
Hao Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he got the news that Shi Jianjin was coming, he was most afraid that Shi Jianjin would fight with him, so he really didn't have the confidence to eat Shi Jianjian. Thinking of this, Hao Yi couldn't help but show a smug smile, he knew that Shi Jianjiao was willing to come, and there must be the words of Shi Jianjian's personal captain to add fuel to the fire.
In fact, Hao Yi is not the captain of Shi Jianjiao's pro-soldiers, the pro-soldier captains are the most confidants, where can they be easily co-opted, and Hao Yi does not have the capital. Hao Yi just knew that he was reasonable, and bluntly said that fighting in the nest would only cheapen Li Cunhuan in the end, and it would not be good for him or Shi Jianjiao. If you use money and silk and give fifty times, you will let the captain of the pro-soldier behind the scenes, and it is estimated that the captain of the pro-soldier will not think of his so-called reconciliation in the end, but it is just to let Shi Jianjiao invite you into the urn.
Thinking of this, Hao Yi couldn't help but laugh proudly, with indescribable smugness in his voice. However, Hao Yi did not forget the matter, called his henchmen, and explained to his henchmen: "You go and inform Feng Qianhu that things are ready." As soon as the east wind arrives, everything can be done. ”
"Yes!" When the henchman heard this, he immediately knew what Hao Yi meant, and immediately showed a clear expression, and responded respectfully.
Hao Yi nodded with satisfaction, and went below to observe the preparations. However, Shi Jianjiao did not let Hao Yi wait for a long time, Hao Yi had just patrolled half a circle, and the housekeeper had already found Hao Yi sweating, pointed to the direction of the main entrance, and said: "Master, General Shi Jianjiao Shi is here, just waiting at the door!" ”
Hao Yi couldn't help frowning, a little dissatisfied, because Shi Jianjiao came too quickly, he only patrolled half a circle, and he was a little uneasy in his heart. But he also knew that it was impossible for Shi Jianjin to let him have the remaining half of the time to patrol, so that Shi Jianjin would not leave without brushing his sleeves. Hao Yi could only walk quickly to the main entrance.
