Although Li Zhun tried his best to command and dispatch, after the special attack division formed the strongest lineup, he knew that the general trend of the road had gone, and at this time, the advantage of the Western Coalition Army in terms of strength was no longer obvious, and the difference in combat strength was too far, and the rout was irretrievable.

Seeing the panicked Western Coalition army fall in batches under the ruthless rush of the opponent, Li Zhunzhi said that the defeat was irretrievable, he sighed heavily, took off his helmet and took off his armor, and fled towards the remote mountains and forests with a group of personal soldiers mixed with many deserters.

Shi Ziling didn't care about Li Zhun's stay or stay, he knew that the northwest land was extremely vast, and the large and small places were densely packed, and if his Songhu Army wanted to live here for a long time, it would be quite difficult to rely on the existing troops. If these Western Coalition forces in front of them are allowed to escape, there will be endless troubles in the future. Therefore, after completely defeating the opponent's formation, Shi Ziling still led the special attack division to continue the onslaught, striving to further expand the results of the battle.

Under the ruthless charging and killing of the special attack division over and over again, the battlefield in front of Yanzhao Pass became the cemetery of the Western Coalition Army, most of the coalition troops were killed on the spot, and a small number of coalition troops who fled north were also intercepted by the follow-up Duanmu Brothers and Nangong Xia's men and horses, and were all annihilated.

Only Li Zhun and a small number of personal soldiers fled to the deserted mountains and forests early to hide when they saw that the situation was not good, and Shi Ziling did not want to spend energy to go to the mountains and forests to kill them all, and he didn't care too much.

By the end of the battle, although the Songhu Army had won a great victory, Wei Song and Ma Yu's men and horses had also suffered great losses. Ma Yu's defenders were less than a thousand men left, and Yin Qi's 5,000 troops were almost completely killed and wounded. Even Wei Song's 20,000 horses and horses, who rushed to support, suffered a lot of losses, adding up to nearly 10,000 casualties on the Songhu Legion's side.

Shi Ziling was in a heavy mood, and he didn't expect that the loss of troops in this battle in Yanzhao Pass would be even greater than when he was in Black Dragon City.

Ma Yu saw Shi Ziling's intentions and comforted: "It's good to have such a result now, you must know that our Songhu Legion has only come with a total of 50,000 horses this time, and it is inevitable that the combat strength will decline after continuous long-distance attacks, and it is reasonable to have more casualties today." ”

Shi Ziling said with a heavy face: "Not only do I feel sorry for our own people, but I am also a little sad about the enemy soldiers who have killed and injured so many people since these two wars, and now I finally understand the cruelty of war." ”

Nangong Xia sighed: "This is also a matter of no choice, the war and chaos will be ruined." Others don't say it, only the 200,000 troops under Li Yuan and Xiahou Yuan were almost wiped out in less than half a year, and the two indispensable families were defeated one after another, even if you think about it now, it is unbelievable. ”

Ma Yu also said: "War is so cruel, either you die or I die." If Ziling is a step late today, not only will Yanzhao Pass be lost, but I will also die on the spot, and the overall situation in the entire western region will become very different. Sometimes it's really a wrong move to lose the whole set, so it really takes a bit of luck to say that the winner is the last. ”

All the generals also felt the same way, this expedition to the northwest, although Ma Yu and Shi Ziling strategized the best time, and took advantage of the defeat of Li Yuan and Xiahou Yuan to reap the benefits of the fisherman, but it also experienced hardships and dangers. If there is a little bit of a mistake in any link, it may end up in a completely annihilated end.

Nangong Xia said with a smile: "So I said a long time ago that Ziling is destined to become a big thing, and the danger of Yan Zhaoguan this time just confirms this point again." ”

Ma Yu sighed: "Easier said than done! I fought for four days and four nights in a row to save this little life! There were less than 1,000 people left behind after the 10,000 horses we left, and at one time I also felt that I was already dead, and I had prepared for the worst, but after all, I still didn't want to die." Alas, after this catastrophe, I really saw through life and death!"

Shi Ziling was also a little scared when he thought about it, and said: "This time is really dangerous, I was also very worried about the lack of troops in your hands, and there are 50,000 captives left by Li Xiaoyao in the city, it is really difficult to grasp the internal and external troubles, but I didn't expect you to persist to the last of the day." ”

Ma Yu sneered: "That's because I saw the opportunity early, and I have already cleared all the 50,000 captives, if I wait until Yanzhao Pass is besieged, how can I have the troops to take care of those prisoners? I guess Mijingcheng was broken by the Western Coalition Army so quickly, and it is probably because we left too many troops to surrender at that time, so that the internal and external troubles were quickly conquered by the Western Coalition Army." ”

Shi Ziling heard Ma Yu say that he had already cleaned all the 50,000 captives left by Li Xiaoyao, his face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but be surprised by the ruthlessness of Ma Yu's methods, but after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved. After being shocked by the continuous hard fighting, Shi Ziling finally realized that he was indeed a little soft-hearted at the beginning, and if he showed mercy to the enemy during the war, then it was likely that he would end up hurting his own people.

Nangong Xia also had a heavy face, he knew in his heart that the loss of Mijing City was of course due to the fact that part of the surrendered army and the Western Alliance Army should be combined, but the most important thing was that the combat strength of the men and horses left behind by him was too poor.

After this campaign, Nangong Xia knew that the combat power of his Narcissus Legion was at the bottom of the major legions in the world, if he hadn't been optimistic about Shiziling's alliance with it earlier, once he had to get involved in the war alone, in terms of the combat power of the Narcissus Legion, the consequences would be really unimaginable.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Yu Wei smiled and said: "You Ma Gongzi can't die, without you as a genius military advisor, our Songhu Legion will be in big trouble in the future!"

"After this campaign, I really admire your Ma Gongzi's ability to strategize! We only have 50,000 people, even if we add the 50,000 people of Nangong's predecessors, it is only 100,000 horses, and in the end, we actually defeated Li Yuan's army of more than 200,000 people, and also controlled the entire northwest in one fell swoop, it is incredible to think about it!"

Shi Ziling also smiled and said: "Ma Yu is indeed amazing, his strategic calculation allows us to seize the best opportunity to attack, so that we can reap the benefits of the fisherman after Xiahou Yuan and Li Yuan's clam fight." To achieve such an unexpected result today, Ma Yu should be the first to take the lead. ”

Ma Yu was physically and mentally exhausted for a while, and secretly pointed out in front of everyone that Shi Ziling was too soft-hearted before, but he regretted it a little as soon as he said it. He knew Shi Ziling quite well, and knew that it was due to Shi Ziling's character, and no matter how much he persuaded him, he was afraid that it would be in vain, and it would only damage the friendship between the two. Unexpectedly, Shi Ziling didn't pay attention to it at all, which made Ma Yu a little surprised.

Ma Yu said: "It seems that you, the big hero, have changed their minds after the hard battle of this expedition. ”

Shi Ziling glanced at Ma Yu deeply, and was deeply impressed by Ma Yu's insight ability, he sighed: "I'm not a hero, and I haven't thought about being a hero." This time I really appreciated the cruelty of war, if I want the people of the Bright Moon Continent to live a safe and worry-free life as soon as possible, it seems that we still have to act resolutely when it is time to make a move, and we can't always wait until the time of danger to make amends, after all, luck will not be so good every time. ”

Ma Yu smiled: "Then you won't blame me for being ruthless, right?"

Shi Ziling smiled bitterly: "I'm no better than you." In today's battle, we annihilated more than 50,000 enemies on the spot, although the situation forced us, but it was also ruthless enough. But what can we do if this is not the case? If these Western Coalition forces are put back, there will be a second and third crisis in Yanzhao Pass in the future, and I don't know how many soldiers in the Dao will be killed because of this. ”

"Sometimes it's really helpless, but now I'm anxious to put down the war on the Bright Moon Continent as soon as possible, otherwise the tragic scene on the battlefield today will definitely be repeated again and again. ”

Nangong Xia, Ma Yu and others have changed their moods after experiencing continuous hard battles and killings, and when they think of the ice disintegration of Xiahou Yuan and Li Yuan's two powerful forces and the ashes of hundreds of thousands of troops, they can't help but feel deeply embarrassed.

Only Yu Wei was a little inexplicable, looking at everyone who was suddenly quite emotional, Yu Wei was surprised: "What's wrong with you? It's Li Yuan and Xiahou Yuan who should sigh now!"

Shi Ziling said with a smile: "What we feel is the impermanence of life! Even if they are as strong as Li Yuan or Xiahou Yuan, each of them has more than 200,000 troops, but once they are defeated, they are so fast; although we have won a complete victory, this victory is also obtained under the accumulation of many dead soldiers and the corpses of countless enemy soldiers, maybe one day the fate of defeat will also be our turn!"

Yu Wei said disappreciatively: "Fighting is like this, it's better for the enemy to die than for us to die, isn't it? We are not monks who eat vegetarian and chant scriptures, so what is there to be polite to the enemy? Li Yuan and Xiahou Yuan's defeat is their own fault, who made them not as smart as us?"

Everyone couldn't help but be a little amused when they heard it, but they also felt that Yu Wei was quite reasonable. Ma Yu nodded and said: "Yu Wei is still right, as the so-called king becomes a loser, sometimes thinking too much is asking for trouble." We should celebrate our hard-won victory. By the way, why didn't you see Li Yuan appear this time?"

Shi Ziling said: "Li Yuan's injury should be very serious, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to do it with people in the short term." I guess he's hiding somewhere. The northwest is so big, if he doesn't want to show up, it's hard for us to find him. Fortunately, this time his meridians were hit hard by my multiple energy strength, and even if the injury is cured, it will be difficult to fully recover, so we don't have to worry about him for the time being. ”
