Chapter 329: Support
Zaksu heard this: "Yes, king, I will explain it." With that, he called a soldier and explained a few words, and the soldier heard the words and ran forward.
"That woman said that there are countless riches and women in Yizhou, and I hope they don't lie to me." This time, the barbarian king also used all his strength to attack Yizhou, for the sake of the countless wealth.
Zaksu said: "There will be no fake, the businessmen who come here all say this, one person's words cannot be trusted, but the words of so many people will not be false." ”
nodded, grinding some barbarian king to Zaksu, "Well, that's good, you go to Batur now, without you to take care of it, I'm afraid he will make trouble again." ”
"Yes, my lord." A few years have passed, and this Batur's personality has not changed at all, and he is still the same impulsive as before.
Seeing Zaksu leaving, he frowned at the barbarian king, he was full of worries about this operation, although the relationship with the Tang Dynasty was not good before, but at least there was no frontal war, and this invasion meant a war with the Tang Dynasty, and the victory was just that, if they lost, then what they had to bear next was the revenge of the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that his illusions were quickly shattered, and as soon as Zaksu left, a huge explosion suddenly "boomed and rumbled", and then, he saw the soldiers in the army rising into the air in the cyan smoke, and when they fell again, only stumps and severed arms remained, and then such explosions came one after another, and they didn't even understand what was happening.
On a hill, Xue Rengui looked at the barbarian army that was being shelled, and the information from the reconnaissance team that the army seemed to be the elite of the barbarians, because the number of elephants in this team was the largest, reaching a thousand, and at this time, because of the sound of the cannonballs, the elephants fled in all directions, and many soldiers who were barbarians died tragically under the hooves of the elephants. The formation has been thrown into disarray.
"You take 2,000 men around the rear to cut off their retreat, and the others are loaded and being shot." Xue Rengui ordered.
After receiving the order, an officer with the rank of lieutenant answered, and led the army from the woods around the battlefield to the rear of the grinding barbarians, this place was specially selected by Xue Rengui, at this time, the grinding barbarian army was all exposed in an open wilderness, becoming their live target.
"Shoot!" The soldiers lay prone on the ground of the woods, the grass obscuring their tracks.
"Bang bang bang ......" Dense gunshots rang out. More barbarian soldiers fell in a pool of blood before they could react to what was going on, and the barbarian king was already frightened, and the whole person was stunned in place.
"Great, great, run! This is the devil, the devil! Zaksu rushed at the Barbarian King, his face covered in blood, and before he could find Batur, he saw Batur being swept into the sky with an explosion. The blood that fell stained him red, and he had never seen such a situation before, and his heart was broken.
"What the hell is going on, what the hell is going on?" Grinding some barbarian muttered nervously. The soldiers fell in his eyes, and he couldn't see the enemy at all, and the screams and broken flesh around him made him feel like he was in hell.
When Zaksu saw that he was grinding some barbarian kings, he couldn't care about anything anymore. Pulling him and running backwards, the barbarian army at this time had no rules left, and everyone was frightened by this strange way of death.
"The skirmishers marched forward. Free fire. "The early attack had already caused most of the army to lose more than half, and Xue Rengui seized the time to let the soldiers start to take the initiative.
With his order, the soldiers rushed out of the woods with a roar, their plate armor glistening with an icy glow in the sunlight.
At this moment, the soldiers who were grinding some brutes realized that they had been ambushed by the Yizhou army, and this made them even more frightened, because the weapons in the hands of those soldiers had exceeded their imagination, and many soldiers fell when they saw a burst of firelight.
At this time, the outflanking soldiers also arrived at the designated position, and pulled the trigger on the fleeing barbarian soldiers, and those fleeing soldiers fell like cutting wheat, this was just a one-sided battle, just like Li Su, the first process of weapons had exceeded the limit of the number of people, Xue Rengui only took one of the five roads, only 6,000, and these 6,000 people against 40,000 people was a one-sided massacre.
Xue Rengui also walked out of the woods, the war was basically over at this point, and all that was left was to collect prisoners of war, and the ease of this battle was beyond his imagination, and the advantage of weapons had fully overwhelmed the numerical advantage of Mo some barbarians.
The sound of gunfire gradually changed from dense to sparse, Li Su understood that this was a signal that the war was over, and after a while, a lieutenant came over to report and said: "General, this team is really the main army of the barbarian king, and the barbarian king and his two generals have all been killed." ”
"All dead?" Xue Rengui was a pity, he still wanted to capture him alive and ask Li Su for credit, but unfortunately he didn't have a chance now.
"Yes, it's so messy that we can't tell which one is their leader, and besides, they're all dressed in the same clothes." The lieutenant replied, and then he continued: "General, what about these prisoners of war? ”
After pondering for a while, he said, "Hundreds of barbarian soldiers will go back, and all the others will be escorted back." ”
"Why is that?" The lieutenant was a little incomprehensible.
Xue Rengui said: "Your Highness's next step is to recover these barbarians and let the captives go back, they will definitely hype up the horror of the Yizhou army, and when we go, they will only obediently obey our rule, by the way, you tell them again, our army will arrive soon, if any of the tribes dares to resist, we will definitely kill the entire tribe." For this kind of intimidation tactic, Xue Rengui often used it when he was fighting with Xiyuanman, and this effect was also the best.
"Yes, General, I see!" The lieutenant turned and left.
When Xue Rengui won the victory, the other four armies successively achieved the same victory in the following period, and after arriving in Shanzhou for a month, they finally cleared the last threat from the south of Yizhou, and Yizhou no longer had any worries and could carry out various economic activities with confidence.
The soldiers were also very excited about such a victory, after all, they came from various states and counties, and after hearing about this, they were also very worried that their hometown would be invaded by these barbarians, but now they didn't have to worry, and before they could enter the town, the army of Yizhou wiped them out.
After learning that the barbarian king had died, Li Su was immediately satisfied with the results of the battle, although it was a pity that he did not capture the barbarian king alive, but the thief captured the king first, and the king had been killed, so the recovery of the southern barbarians was just around the corner.
At the end of the war on the southern front, Li Su did not settle down because of this, these days he also kept in touch with the shadow guards in the north, and the information obtained showed that Li Shimin's progress was not smooth, although he used the surprise of artillery to achieve a small victory in the early stage, but then he fell into a stalemate with the cavalry of the steppe, and no one on either side bargained.
After the victory of the Five Route Army, Li Su then asked Xue Rengui to go north with 20,000 troops to attack the Turkic and Xue Yantuo's coalition forces from behind Jieli.
"I will ask Murong Shun of Tuyuhun to send cavalry to protect you, so that you don't have to worry about the cavalry of the grassland." After discussing countermeasures with Xue Rengui, Li Su went on to say that since he helped Murong Shun defeat Tubo, Murong Shun secretly surrendered to Li Su, and the parchment scroll he asked Qin Huaiyu to bring was a document that swore allegiance to Li Su, because after experiencing these incidents, he already understood that only Li Su could help him maintain his rule.
