The next day, the results of the attack on Ashina Nishu and Ashdwin Fubu had also been counted and reported to Pei Xingjian.

In the battle of attacking Ashina, the price paid by our army was very small, only about 100 sergeants were killed, hundreds were wounded, more than 3,000 Turks were killed, burned to death, trampled to death by our army, more than 70,000 Turks were captured, and countless cattle, sheep and livestock.

During the raid on the camp of Ashdwin's Fu Division, more than 1,000 officers and men of our army were killed, thousands were wounded, more than 5,000 Turks were annihilated, nearly 100,000 people were captured, and more cattle, sheep and livestock were captured.

Like the battles to annihilate Asster's Ministry, these two battles were also unprecedented victories, and the price paid by our army was very light, and the results were breathtaking.

It's just a pity that the rebel chieftain Ashwin Fu led nearly 20,000 people to escape.

Qiu Shenyun led tens of thousands of troops to pursue the fleeing Ashdwin Fu, and then with the support of several other departments, several large armies were pursuing to the north, according to the report that came back, the fastest Qiu Shenyun had arrived at the southern foot of Yinshan and was preparing to cross Yinshan.

In the process of pursuit, they also encountered some Turks who were pulled down, and these Turks who were abandoned by the fleeing Ashdwin Fu became ghosts or prisoners of the pursuing Tang army.

According to the confessions of these lonely Turks, Ashdwin Fu had fled into the Yin Mountain, preparing to cross the Yin Mountain and flee to Mobei.

After crossing the Yin Mountain, it is the desert, the conditions on the desert are bad, it is difficult for people and animals to travel, Pei Xingjian also made people give an order later, if the pursuit to the north side of the Yin Mountain, it is not possible to catch up with the Fu Department of Ashdwin and annihilate it, and the army that pursues them will stop and wait for the order.

If they were far away from the large army, without grain and grass and baggage, they would not be able to hold out for long by relying only on the few dry rations and other things that the soldiers carried, let alone crossing the desert, which was an impossible task. If these tens of thousands of horses and horses venture into the desert, it is very likely that all of them will be buried in it, and now that our army has won a great victory, even if Ashdwin Fu escapes and flees to Mobei, the leaders of those tribes in Mobei may also send troops to attack each other due to the might of our army.

What's more, Pei Xingjian also sent a few groups of men and horses, carrying baggage, from the east and west directions, preparing to bypass the desert and enter the north of the desert from its edge, which also has tens of thousands of horses, but the travel speed is a little slower, and there is no need to take this risk.

After the results of each ministry were counted, Pei Xingjian also sent people to report to Chang'an, and reported his next step to the imperial court.

Except for the various ministries arranged by Pei Xingjian to prepare to march north, the other ministries are resting in the area of the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain, waiting for the latest edict of the imperial court-

At the southern foot of Yin Mountain, Pei Xingjian was hunting with a large group of people.

After several large-scale battles, the fighting has subsided, and the grassland has returned to tranquility.

It has been many days, and Qiu Shenyun and other pursuing armies have also sent back news that they have annihilated several broken Turks, totaling nearly 10,000 people, but Ashdwin Fu is nowhere to be found.

According to the confession of the captives and the observation of the terrain, Ashdwin Fu took advantage of the terrain of Yinshan Mountain and left a few parts to stop it, and he had already gained time and successfully crossed the high mountain called Wula Mountain in the Yinshan mountain system, and had entered the desert.

Relatively speaking, these Turks led by Ashdwin Fu, who were more familiar with the desert, and the pursuing Tang army did not know much about the situation in the desert, coupled with Pei Xingjian's order, all the troops stopped at the northern foot of Yinshan after crossing Yinshan, preparing to return to the southern foot after a short rest.

There are many wide valleys in the Yin Mountains, and it is relatively easy to come back, but this is also one of the reasons why Ashdwin Fu was able to escape.

The situation in the vicinity had returned to normal, and some of the smaller Turks and other tribes, after hearing that the Tang army had arrived in this area and had gathered hundreds of thousands of Turks, were afraid of the might of the Tang army, and they all came to Pei Xingjian's camp to pay allegiance and expressed their willingness to obey the Tang Dynasty all the time.

The situation on the side is stable, all the departments for follow-up operations are ready, and the army stationed at the southern foot of Yinshan is only resting and standby, Pei Xingjian is also in such a sunny and warm day, with a group of men hunting.

After the galloping drive of the soldiers, most of the time came up, and they also shot a lot of prey, especially Liu Yi, who followed Pei Xingjian's side, and shot several prey by himself with his precise archery skills.

With the prey, they have to be roasted and eaten, Pei Xingjian's personal guards, as well as some of Liu Yi's personal guards, cleaned up the prey by a small river and prepared to barbecue.

Pei Xingjian rode his horse, and Liu Yi followed him, and the two walked along the river for a while, both dismounted, and sat down on a small dirt slope, and one of their respective guards followed from a distance, not approaching.

"Nephew, tell me, why Ashdwin was able to escape this time, and what are the loopholes in the war plan formulated by a certain institute?" Pei Xingjian threw the horsewhip in his hand on the ground, lay on the grass with his head in his hands, and asked Liu Yidao.

Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then replied: "Dashuai, the last general feels that Dashuai's deployment is thorough enough, but several other departments have delayed their trips for various reasons, so that the time to launch the attack is a little late, and our army's previous attack on Ashide and Ashina Muzi is familiar with the prostrate department, although it has achieved a very important victory, most of the Turks were annihilated or captured, but the Turkic rout still had some fish that escaped from the net, and these routs reported the news to Asdwin Fu, after Asdwin Fu learned the news, Gain time and lead the men and horses he personally led to flee north! Because the Turks have been active in this area for a long time and are more familiar with the terrain, using the terrain to provide cover, as well as the blocking of the broken men, our army cannot catch up!"

Hundreds of thousands of troops concentrated on the enemy on a plane of several hundred miles, and the time for the various departments to launch attacks was only one or two days apart, and such an attack operation can be said to be very well coordinated, not to mention that several departments set off from different directions. Even if the communication and liaison in later generations were very good, and the march was a mechanized army, it was difficult to do this, and this campaign achieved such a result, to achieve such a degree of surprise, before the enemy army could respond, it can be said to be a miracle, Liu Yike sincerely admired.

not only admired Pei Xingjian's meticulous deployment, but also the ability of the generals to lead the soldiers to quickly assault.

Pei Xingjian's deployment is of course thorough, each Turkic camp is sent to attack several horses, even if one group of people and horses cannot arrive normally for some reason, the other team can also launch a destructive attack on the Turks, of course, in the end, such a result is still very related to the unusual quality of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.

Starting from Shuozhou, to the place where the war took place, there are hundreds of miles away, and now only relying on horseback as the fastest way to march the army, in just a few days, the officers and men of the various armies arrived outside the Turkic camp at an incredible speed, and launched an attack on the enemy, which is the key to victory.

Unfortunately, even with these qualities, there were still a few people who delayed their operations due to the terrain and weather, allowing Ashdwin Fu to escape.

"Anything else?" Pei Xingjian asked again.

"The last general thinks..."Liu Yi hesitated, but still said: "Dashuai, no, the last general can't think of more!"

In fact, Liu Yi still has some other thoughts in his heart, that is, the goal set by Pei Xingjian before the first battle is too high, the opponent is so hundreds of thousands of people, he wants to eat it in one bite, in case there is some accident, and it is detected by the Turkic personnel, not to mention that it is difficult to annihilate all the Turks, it is difficult to annihilate one of them, and these hundreds of thousands of Turks will get closer to the distance, resist our army together, or take the initiative to attack, then the war will be very difficult to fight.

The Turks were defenseless, and they did not send a large number of scouts and scouts to find out the news of our army, Liu Yi felt that Pei Xingjian did not do a good job, that is, in terms of secret operations, if there was a special force in his hand like a special combat team in later generations, or a reconnaissance detachment, specializing in this kind of stealing and touching dogs, attacking and killing the scouts of the other party's leaders, and sneaking into the camp to make a response when our army attacked the camp, so that the war would be easier to fight.

"There are many things to consider when formulating a war plan, and although the weather factor was taken into account when formulating this strategic arrangement, the terrain factor was not considered enough, and the similarities and differences in the operational capabilities of various departments were also not considered!" Pei Xingjian also said what he felt he didn't do well, "Virtuous nephew, I think that in the future, when you will also lead the army alone, when formulating the battle plan, any factors that affect the battlefield situation need to be taken into account, as well as the abilities and surnames of the leading generals, all of which must be grasped, and the things that you have to consider for the generals are very different!"

"Commander, the last general remembers!" Liu Yi responded.

"After the end of this campaign, a certain will write down the experience of using troops in this matter, as well as the experience, and will give you a copy, and I hope that after you read it, you will have some experience, and then communicate with you!" Pei Xingjian sat up, looked at Liu Yi and said.

"Yes, Dashuai, the last general understands!" Liu Yi saluted respectfully, "Thank you for such a teaching!"

In private conversations, Pei Xingjian did not regard himself as the commander of the army, which made Liu Yi feel a little less distanced, and he was much more casual when he spoke, and he also understood the meaning of Pei Xingjian's words just now.

Teaching by word and deed, Pei Xingjian was really very moved by Liu Yi's professorship in the direction of military use.

"After returning to Chang'an, I will give you a few more military books, you can take a good look at them then!" Pei Xingjian stood up.

"Yes, Dashuai, thank you Dashuai!"

There was a fragrance in the distance, Pei Xingjian sucked it a few times with his nose, and haha knows: "Okay, let's go over, the prey is all roasted!"
