There was no suspense about the outcome of the battle, and at this time there was no force that could save the rout of the Tiele people.

Li Jing quietly watched the Huaihuang cavalry that had been trained by him chase and gallop on the snowfield, and watched groups of Tiele routs being chased and surrounded and slashed. Watching the tiger flag fluttering forward, watching the cavalry like a flood, indomitable and invincible.

Greatly, the Mobei Tiele cavalry, which has always been known as the fierce, is actually vulnerable in front of the Huaihuang cavalry, although this is an ambush battle, an ambush battle with more hits and fewer hits, but this result is indeed proud. However, Li Jing is not all proud of himself, he knows that although the fierceness of the cavalry in front of him also has his own coaching credit, but if he really wants to score the bravery of this cavalry now, his credit may only account for thirty percent of it, or even maybe only two percent.

He believes that there are many reasons why this cavalry can grow so quickly.

For example, the warriors of this cavalry have a good foundation, although they are the Sui army sequence, but most of these cavalry were originally not the people of the Great Sui, many of them were former horse bandits and bandits, and there were also secret armed forces such as the Gao family who had always refused to belong to the imperial court, and even a large number of Hu soldiers who were originally from the Hu nationality, plus a large number of Hu warriors recruited later in the three feudatories, the members of the Huaihuang Cavalry Army, in fact, were not much different from the nomadic cavalry on the grassland, they were not Han cavalry in the real sense, but a mixed group of Han and Chinese, Men and horses with a strong spirit.

At the same time, their equipment is extremely good, don't look at the Huaihuang cavalry gave up the whole body iron armor such as Suozi armor and iron armor, and only equipped the cuirass that covers the front chest and back. But this kind of cuirass is desperate, but it is as simple as imagined. These cuirasses were forged entirely from steel plates, beyond the imagination of those who did not know. To create such a cuirass, it takes hundreds of processes to go through before and after. In particular, it involves a complete set of processes such as mining, iron smelting, steelmaking, rolling, and forging, and each process is not just a simple manual process, but also involves a more complex process. It can be said that without Huaihuang's entire dense ordnance industry system, it would not be impossible to create such a breastplate armor by hand. But even if there is the same manual process as the big process, its cost and time are ten times and hundreds of times higher. Under the ordnance technology system established by Ke Yifeng, the production has become complicated and simple. Not only can only excellent masters produce, but even many ordinary workers can join in the production, and even in a certain process they have completed most of the work of the original masters.

What is even more admirable is that Yifeng has established a large factory system, expanded the scale, and studied Xu I's special tools, which greatly increased the output. Drilling and mining, rail winch to transport ore out of the shaft, ore crusher. Powder miners, ore screens, ore washers and other equipment, in the concentrator on the edge of the mine. The mined ore was processed into concentrate at the first time, which was then transported to the ironworks on a newly built flat carriage road in Guò. There, there is a blast furnace that can smelt tens of thousands of catties at one time. Instead of traditional charcoal heating, coal is dug from the coal plant. The coke from the coke produced by the coking plant is then used to smelt iron, and the coke is heated at a higher temperature. Iron is smelted with coke and blast furnace. One furnace can smelt tens of thousands of catties, and as long as the supply of iron ore and coke is on, it can make a steady stream of iron. The smelted pig iron is then transported to the steelmaking plant, where there is also a powerful furnace, a wind refining converter, and one furnace can smelt 5,000 catties of steel.

Just a converter, a heat storage chamber and a blower, and a device for gas collection and heating, can make the temperature of the furnace reach a high temperature that is extremely difficult to achieve in the traditional process of ordinary blacksmiths.

This is a leapfrog steelmaking revolution, because before that, although there were various methods of steelmaking, they all had one characteristic, that is, it was difficult to make molten steel in as much as iron. You can only refine a little bit at a time, not to mention a furnace of 5,000 catties of molten steel like Huaihuang, even 50 catties is impossible. It is this step difference that has allowed Huaihuang's steel production to increase rapidly.

The molten steel of a furnace is turned into a piece of crude steel ingots, and then some materials are added to the furnace for liquefaction and smelting according to the required steel quality, so as to become the required steel. Baking, casting, rolling.

A piece of steel plate armor arrives at the rolling mill, and finally rolls into the prototype plate shape required for plate armor, and then this is only half done. It also has to be sent to the forging factory, where it is processed by cold forging and formed. Finally, it has to go through more complex heat treatment, surface treatment, etc., then assembly, and finally completion.

Li Jing knew this because Yi Feng personally took him to visit the entire production process of steel plate armor without reservation.

But although Li Jing had seen the whole process, he finally understood that it was impossible for him to learn anything secretly. Yi Feng did put all the qiē in front of him for him to see, but he couldn't learn it. Because this is a complete set of system, to make a plate armor, the process before and after is too me, and there are too many processes involved, the most terrible thing is that this plate armor is only suitable for mass production, if you build it by hand, the final production will be carried out, and the cost will be increased tenfold and hundredfold. And without production, and the cost is so high, what is the point? And if you want to do such a big system in the same way, there are countless core process secrets, but you can't learn it at all by looking at it on the surface. Not to mention the iron ore and coal mining, beneficiation, just the blast furnace, converter, coke furnace, and what refractory brick furnace and so on make it difficult to figure out how to get out and how to operate, not to mention, the steelmaking plant has to go through at least two furnace refining, as well as a variety of different steel needs of the process, material addition formula, as well as casting, rolling and many other processes, and then there are key cold forging technology. The more you look at it, the more complicated it becomes, and the more you look at it, the harder it is to learn.

It can even be said that if the entire steel system cannot be uprooted and removed, others will not be able to imitate it. Without this system, it is impossible to provide a large number of steel materials, let alone a large number of steel plate armor, without scale, the cost can not be reduced, and the manufacture of plate armor can not be practical at all.

Huaihuang's steel industry system, just like Yi Feng's overall impression of Li Jing, it seems that he always puts things in front of you concisely and clearly, but you can't learn his methods, but this method can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye can bring huge benefits. As a result, you end up itching and feeling sad like a cat scratching. But he offered to share the benefits with you, this time. Do you have any other ideas besides agreeing?

This is the case with the Huaihuang steel industry. The same is true of the military system of Huaihuang.

Excellent equipment, generous treatment, and extremely high status all made the Huaihuang Army fundamentally different from other armies from the beginning.

He is a professional army, a specialized army, with a very high status, good treatment, plus Yi Feng's very special army building ideas and training methods. It was destined to be a different kind of army long ago.

Although Yi Feng made himself the instructor of this cavalry army, although he poured countless efforts into this army, he used everything he had learned. Today's Huaihuang Cavalry has its own merits for its bravery, but there are not many. He even knew very well that his influence on this cavalry was limited, although during training, his words could be true, but outside of training, his influence was very limited. Even this battle. Although the tactics were proposed by him, they were also agreed to in the end. But in essence, he is just a counselor's staff and a military advisor. It was Shan Xiongxin, the acting commander of the cavalry, who really made the decision, as well as high-ranking officers of the cavalry such as Zhang Jincheng and Wang Fubao.

On the other hand, although Shan Xiongxin and Zhang Jincheng were the main generals of the cavalry. But they also had limited control over the cavalry. Tong guò observed, Li Jing found out early. Yi Feng's control over the Huaihuang army is quite firm, and the structure is organized through layers of guò. He has a tight control that is unimaginable to outsiders. Sometimes Li Jing always finds it difficult to resemble, but this is the case.

Yi Feng is like a web weaver, he weaves a big net, and then everyone under his command is in this big net, no matter what status and identity, they are only a part of it, in the snare, and Yi Feng firmly controls the whole situation through this kind of net.

A herald galloped out of breath: "Sect leader, victory, all the three thousand Tiele wolf cubs have been surrounded, dead or surrendered, and the battle is over." ”

Hearing this, Li Jing turned around from his reverie, raised his head and glanced at the battlefield, and sure enough, the defeated Tiele cavalry did not run far, and they were completely surrounded. The Huaihuang cavalry scattered them and divided them into small groups, and then they either disarmed and surrendered, or they died. The skilled horsemanship of the Tiele people failed to save them, and pursued Guo Xiaoke's team all the way, they were tired, and the Huaihuang cavalry who ambushed them were waiting for a long time, and the momentum was like grandeur. Especially in the wind and snow at this time, the ground was covered with snow, and the war horses couldn't run fast at all, and in the end, no one escaped.

"Don't kill prisoners." Li Jing didn't have much joy on his face, and this victory was expected. "It's very close to Wusha Castle, these captives are all brought back, and Yi Shuai's mine is in need of manpower."

There was no need for Li Jing to remind them that the cavalry generals such as Shan Xiongxin and Zhang Jincheng had already issued orders prohibiting the killing of prisoners, and those who were willing to surrender would be given preferential treatment. Even if they don't surrender, they can't be tortured and killed at will after being captured. Except for those who were seriously injured and died on the spot, the rest were treated even if they were slightly injured. Huaihuang is now strict zhòng lack of population, and even makes Huaihuang now slave traders gather one after another, and the population trade is vigorous. The capture of so many sturdy Mobei Tiele warriors is quite valuable trophies. Now a living captive is worth more than a dead head, and the generals who have long learned to fight while fighting have also learned all kinds of subtleties. A general who can calculate can not only be valued by the commander, but also supported by the brothers below, and what soldier does not like his boss to fight for more benefits for them.

When the wind and snow on the west bank of the ice-free river stopped, the battlefield gradually calmed down.

Participating in the battle of the Unfrozen River was almost all the Huaihuang cavalry, more than 10,000 cavalry troops went out to ambush, and 3,000 Tiele cavalry were wiped out.

Since captives were more valuable than their heads, the Huaihuang cavalry tried to avoid killing as much as possible, and many Tiele cavalry escaped. Because the Tiele people were forced by the momentum of the Huaihuang cavalry from the beginning, they had already fled, and a battle ended quickly. According to the final statistics, only a few hundred were killed on the spot, and even the seriously wounded who were executed after the battle were only more than 600 people, and the Huaihuang cavalry gained a lot of money, more than 2,300 prisoners, most of whom were intact. In addition, thousands of war horses were harvested, plus hundreds of dead and wounded horses.

The captives were tied up one by one, and their tattered iron and leather armor were taken away, and their war horses were also taken away. They were tied together and escorted to the shore. The flotilla, which had only had time to fire a few rounds of arrows from the beginning to the end of the battle, also reconnected the ships into pontoons. Drive the captives ashore.

The logistics troops on the east bank crossed the pontoon bridge and rushed to the battlefield. They began to take charge of clearing the battlefield.

Chop off the enemy's heads and take them away, take away all the useful items that can be taken away from the corpses, clothes, armor, money, etc., and finally pile up their headless corpses not far from the west bank, pour the corpses with river water, and wait for the river water to condense into ice, and build up mountains of ice and ice corpses layer by layer.

The wounded of the Huaihuang Cavalry Army had already been treated by a medical team, and the doctors of the army immediately examined and classified the wounded soldiers and assessed their injuries. Decide which wounded soldiers should be given priority for treatment, make the most rational use of medical treatment, and give them as timely and reasonable treatment as possible.

This strategy of injury detection and classification was first proposed by Yi Feng, and there is a special set of methods, and after several battles, it has been proved that this excellent treatment plan for injury detection and classification can save two to three more lives.

Fundamental priority, life is in danger. Casualties who require immediate treatment and are expected to be revived are given priority and are given a red marker band tied around their arms. And there is no immediate danger to life, and the wounded need to be treated urgently but not immediately. It will be tied with a yellow symbol, which means priority level 2. In addition, casualties who require simple handling are given priority level 3 with a green mark. And if the injury is too severe. When it is impossible to resuscitate or force the doctor to choose between the seriously injured and the other wounded, a black sign is finally given. It means to give up the rescue. However, it is not a last resort, and we will never give up the rescue of any wounded. Except as a last resort. At the same time, when the doctor is too late, the army has always asked the soldiers to give first aid by themselves, or comrades-in-arms to help each other with first aid, and then wait for the doctor's treatment.

The casualties of the Huaihuang cavalry in this battle were not large, and the battle ended quickly, so that the wounded could be treated by themselves or by their comrades for first aid as soon as possible, and then the military doctors also quickly rushed to the classification of injuries, battlefield first aid, and then the stretcher team sent the wounded who had simply given first aid to different wounded shelters according to their injuries for follow-up treatment and transfer.

In the end, after the whole army withdrew to the east bank, it was found that more than 30 cavalry soldiers were killed and seriously injured and could not be treated, in addition to more than 10 disabled, and more than 100 minor injuries.

This casualty figure is already very light, but it still makes the officers and soldiers of the Huaihuang Cavalry after the victory feel very heavy.

"Collect their corpses, send them back to Huaihuang in their entirety, return them to their families, and when they go back, they must send their tablets to the martyrs' shrine for worship." Shan Xiongxin looked at the soldiers who had just been scrubbed and changed into clean military robes on the stretcher one by one, and said heavily.

Zhang Jinwei took off his helmet and saluted the warrior brothers who had permanently closed their eyes.

"Damn, what a great boy, that's it. Second Brother Shan, let's go back and destroy all those Tiele mongrels, and leave no one behind. ”

Shan Xiongxin was silent.

Li Jing stopped Zhang Jin and said, "According to the preliminary interrogation of the prisoners, these 3,000 Tiele people are only half of the strikers of the Tiele tribes, and their original task is to intercept the Turks. Now more than 100 miles away in the northwest, there are about 3,000 riders. I know General Zhang is uncomfortable, but I don't approve of fighting that Tiele team again. At the moment, most of Tiele could go south at any time, and we should not take any chances. If you want to eat the 3,000 Tieler forwards, but you are bitten by most of the Tieler, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"What are you afraid of, we are not afraid of how many Tiele cubs come, besides, we can't run away if we can't beat it?"

Li Jing shook his head, and disagreed with Zhang Jin's idea very much, but he was just a leader, a guest general, not a person from the Huaihuang cavalry system, so he had to say euphemistically: "Although our cavalry is good, after all, the number is limited, and it is best not to leave the Huaihuang Hundred Miles range to fight, otherwise, once it is surrounded outside in such ice and snow, the losses will be very heavy." Besides, what is the task of the cavalry? Now that Yi Shuai is not in Huaihuang, I think the most important task of the Huaihuang cavalry is to guard Huaihuang, not how many enemies to kill. No matter how many enemies are killed, if Huai Huang is lost, then are we easy to live and handsome? ”

"What Li Jiaotou said makes sense, now is not the time to be vindictive. Spare these wolf cubs for a while, let's go back to Wusha Castle first, Yi Shuai said before leaving, never give up any city fortress in Huaihuang. Shan Xiongxin made up his mind, he agreed with Li Jing's words, the battle was not fought randomly, it had to be carried out around the strategic plan, and now their goal should be to protect Huaihuang, not to kill and injure the Tiele people.

In fact, Li Jing felt that Shan Xiongxin's insistence on the concept of not losing one city and one fortress was wrong, and in that case, he would be very passive strategically. He felt that instead of passively defending and sticking to each castle, it would be better to retreat as planned, and evacuate the people in the front castle to the big city behind, and finally withdraw directly to the Great Wall. Then it is best to clear the Huaihuang wall in the north of Huaihuang or even outside the entire Great Wall, the Huaihuang army can abandon most of the small castles, concentrate the soldiers and horses in a few nearby and extremely dangerous castles, and then put the cavalry nearby to maneuver, support the battle, and fight an active defensive operation with the other side. But it's still the same sentence, not giving up Huaihuang is what Yi Feng once said, and the Huaihuang army will resolutely abide by it. At the same time, he is just a guest general, and he actually doesn't have much say in the formulation of such a strategic plan, but he just has a little reference to the right to build.

"I hope that the Tiele people will not kill Huaihuang in a big way, otherwise, if tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Tiele troops attack, the Wusha Castle that bears the brunt of it is afraid that it will be difficult to stop." Li Jing frowned slightly, secretly looking forward to it. (To be continued......) R1292
