Chapter 350: Hunt and Kill
On a battlefield full of desolation.
Su Ding lowered his head in shame when he was questioned, and looked depressed: "The last general is incompetent, and he lost too much when he led the army to rescue Li Dudu, please punish the general." ”
"Okay, hold back the grievances, and find those Turkic dogs to get them back, General Shi, can you still fight?" When Qin Huaidao heard that it was caused to save people, it was not easy to punish, and he looked at Shi Yeshan as he spoke.
Shi Yeshan looked at the soldiers, there were less than 1,000 of the 5,000 people left, and the losses were heavy, but he proudly puffed up his chest, if it weren't for the brothers desperately blocking the attack of the 50,000 army behind and buying time for the friendly army, the result would be unpredictable, the brothers died well, and shouted: "Brothers, tell the general, can you still fight?" ”
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
The soldiers waved their swords in their hands, looked up to the sky and roared, venting their war intentions in their hearts, no one cared about life and death at this point, they just wanted to kill happily, and avenge the sacrificed brothers, since the Turkic soldiers came to the city, too many people died, it was too miserable.
Qin Huaidao's heart was hot, they were all good, worthy of the honor of a soldier, and shouted: "The injured stay to clean up the battlefield, cut down the Turks who are not dead, and pass the order, this general will not take prisoners, and the rest will change horses, follow this general to chase and kill the Turks, raise the majesty of my Tang Dynasty boy, and never die." ”
"Never die!"
The soldiers roared angrily, and they all changed into good horses, and there were Turkic ownerless war horses everywhere, and they were slashed and thrown away, picking up a good spare.
Soon, the soldiers were ready, Qin Huaidao looked at Su Dingfang and shouted, "Open the road ahead!" ”
"Obey!" Su Dingfang clenched his fists and led the pro-army to rush forward.
Shi Yeshan also did not contain a lake, and with a wave of his hand, he led the soldiers to follow, without hesitation.
Qin Huaidao chased after him, and quickly calculated in his heart, according to Li Yixie's report just now, the Turks fled more than 30,000 people, and just now he led the army to block another 50,000, killing a lot, that is to say, the Turks fled no more than 80,000 in total, and killed more than 120,000, which is a big victory.
The remaining 80,000 fled in a hurry, the army could not be defeated, the morale of the army was completely lost, and they were scattered, as long as the pursuit was timely, they could still kill about half, and the remaining 30,000 were not to be worried, however, everyone in the Turks could get on the horse as a soldier, and this battle was not easy to fight, so it could not be careless.
The army ran wildly all the way, and gradually drifted away.
Not long after, a red sun jumped out of the horizon and illuminated the entire grassland.
The breeze is gentle, the grass is undulating, and there is no end in sight.
Soon, a Turkic army appeared behind a hillside, losing their armor and being embarrassed, with about two thousand people, Su Dingfang was overjoyed, and hurriedly looked at Qin Huaidao, Qin Huaidao shouted: "Kill them all, not one will be left." ”
"Obey!" Su Dingfang was overjoyed and led the troops to catch up.
Not to be outdone, Shi Yeshan followed closely with more than a few hundred troops, and Qin Huaidao followed closely.
Pursued all the way, gradually narrowing the distance, Su Dingfang gave an order, the soldiers picked up the crossbow and shot decisively, killing more than 100 people in one pass, the soldiers continued to shoot, the crossbow lost wave after wave, and the Turkic head in front of him shrouded the past, and the Turkic soldiers who were killed fell off their horses one after another, one after another.
Seeing that the Turks could not escape, they were also ruthless, turned their horses' heads and rushed over, Su Dingfang not only did not panic, but was overjoyed, and shouted loudly to order the soldiers to continue shooting, the crossbow was different from the bow and arrow, the rate of fire was too fast, and five attacks were output in the blink of an eye, and a large number of enemy troops were opposed.
The Turkic army took the opportunity to rush up, lost the distance, and could no longer use the crossbow to lose, Su Dingfang was about to give an order to attack, Shi Yeshan rushed up with people and shouted: "I will block them, you continue to shoot." ”
Su Dingfang's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Spread out, shoot freely, and cover the brother troops." ”
"Obey." The soldiers quickly dispersed and continued to calm down.
The Turkic army was blocked by Shi Yeshan's troops, and couldn't rush up, so they could only give up the charge and fight with Shi Yeshan's people, the rest of Shi Yeshan was only a few hundred, but the Turkic army was shot continuously, and the remaining was only more than a thousand points, and the gap between the two sides was not big, but Su Dingfang led people to sneak attack on the side, almost pressing and fighting.
Qin Huaidao didn't go up to help, and watched silently from the side.
Soon, most of this wave of Turkic troops fell, almost all of them were killed by crossbow shooting, and the people of Shi Yeshan had the assistance of crossbows, shouting and fighting, and entangled the rest of the people to the death.
Not long after, this Turkic army was completely wiped out, Su Dingfang's people were unscathed, Shi Yeshan's people lost more than 100 people, Qin Huaidao looked a little pity, but Shi Yeshan and the others didn't care, more than 100 people exchanged for 2,000 Turkic troops, it was worth it, everyone was excited.
"Clean up the battlefield and take everything you can with you." Qin Huaidao shouted.
Shi Yeshan motioned for the troops to clean up the battlefield, ran to Qin Huaidao by himself, hugged his fists and said, "General, let's not chase after you?" The brothers can still fight. ”
Qin Huaidao didn't answer immediately, but looked at the panicked grassland around him, and asked rhetorically, "Where to chase?" ”
"To the north, to the Turkic court, or to the west." Shi Yeshan proposed.
"The enemy army is too chaotic, how can our army not be chaotic, if there is a Turkic army to kill, I am afraid it will not be stopped, the brothers are sleepy and lacking, it is better to go back first to raise the spirit, wait for a few days, this general will take you to kill the Turkic royal court, when the time comes, you will be the vanguard, how about opening the way for the army?" Qin Huaidao said with a straight face.
In the battle just now, hundreds of people blocked a thousand people, and Su Dingfang's 800 people with crossbows to assist, and there were nearly 100 soldiers, so it can be seen that the brothers can't move, go back and have a good rest, and when they recover, these hundreds of people are the elite of the elite, and it's a pity to die.
Shi Yeshan also knew this truth, but he didn't dare to bring it up, seeing Qin Huaidao take the initiative to explain, he was overjoyed, and the general who followed the soldiers was happy, and happily agreed: "If you dare not obey your orders, the general can't trick me." ”
"What's the use of you? General Ben never lies. ”
"The last general, General Xie, is complete!" Shi Yeshan happily thanked him again.
"When you go back, General Ben will teach you a new way of playing." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
Shi Yeshan thought of Qin Huaidao's tactics of charging into battle before, if the whole army was like this, who would be able to resist? Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he excitedly agreed: "General Xie teaches the tactics of war, and the last general will only fight to the death to repay the great favor." ”
Half an hour later, the battlefield was cleaned up, all the leather armor and weapons on the Turkic soldiers were taken away, and even the corpses of the war horses were not spared.
There is no hurry to go back, the team walks slowly, and returns to the Anbei Protectorate in about two hours, a city made of glutinous rice mortar and mud, not a single brick, a stone, but it is also very strong, glutinous rice mortar can be called the black technology of this era, and the Great Wall has not fallen for thousands of years all by it.
Qin Huaidao saw that the battlefield had not been cleaned yet, some wounded soldiers were busy, as for the uninjured soldiers, the pursuit of the Turks had not yet returned, the army entered the city, and was warmly welcomed by the local people, countless people poured up with food, shouting for everyone to eat, the simplicity made people feel distressed.
The soldiers are indeed hungry, Qin Huaidao is not a pedantic person, in case the Turks kill, everyone is full and ready to fight again, so let everyone eat openly, and he is too hungry to eat, take a few meatloaf and eat it, while chatting with Shi Yeshan, who is also chewing, to find out the situation as soon as possible.
After eating and drinking, Qin Huaidao said to Shi Yeshan and Su Dingfang: "Su Dingfang, take people to collect the crossbow, one can't be missed, the broken ones are unified and tidy, go back and repair them, and bring together the remains of our brothers, General Shi, your people also go to clean up the battlefield, there are a lot of horses killed in the battle, and give ten catties to each family of the people who provided food just now, which is considered a return gift, and you can't eat other people's in vain." ”
"Understood, the end will be arranged immediately." Shi Yeshan agreed.
Su Dingfang thought of the brothers who died in the battle, and his heart throbbed, so he agreed and hurried away.
Soon, the soldiers went out of the city again, cleaned the battlefield, killed 120,000 Turkic soldiers, the corpses were spread all around, and countless war horses had to be gathered, which was a big project, but fortunately it was won.
Shi Yeshan was not worried that Qin Huaidao was alone in the city, staying to accompany him, Qin Huaidao asked: "Go, go to the Governor's Mansion, are there many blacksmiths in the city?" ”
"It's not a lot, there are some in the Governor's Mansion, and they usually help build and repair weapons, and there are a few iron shops in the city, what does the general want to do?" Shi Yeshan asked.
"Find someone to fight weapons, how do you usually pay here?"
Shi Yeshan was a little curious, and explained: "The Governor's Mansion has its own craftsmen, and I haven't asked anyone outside to fight, and as for my own craftsmen, I give you money every month." ”
"General Ben needs to find a large number of people to help build a weapon, I'm afraid that the craftsmen of the Governor's Mansion alone are not enough, and he needs manpower, what should he do?"
"What's so difficult about this, just count it as a conscription." Shi Yeshan said.
Qin Huaidao somewhat understood the local operating rules, and said: "Even if you are conscripted, it is not easy, you will have someone write a notice and post it in a while, recruit some strength to help, count conscription, and give each person ten catties of horse meat as a reward, and the governor's mansion will melt down the captured weapons if the iron material is not enough, build 10,000 weapons, and the drawings will be returned to you." ”
"No problem, the last general will go back and go to the governor of the Governor's Mansion." Shi Yeshan agreed, thinking of the tactics promised by Qin Huaidao, the weapons were estimated to be related to the tactics, and it was his own business, so he was even more concerned.
