This battle lasted for several more hours.

It's just that it was the battle of another Purple Sai ace's main force, the 'Destroying Battalion' cavalry and archery troops.

This battle, in the case of favorable time, place, and numbers, ended with a narrow victory in the bloody battle of the Zisai border army

The comparison between the two sides is five to one, and the battle loss ratio is ten to one.

It reproduces the record that has not been achieved since the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty.

The real one Han arrives at the five hu!

However, all the high-ranking members of the Zisai military circles who knew the inside story couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat, and could only call it a fluke.

After all, this time it was the Zisai cavalry troops who attacked the West Beacon Fire.

All the infantry and sharpshooters remained in the Purple City Gongwei.

The cavalry units that came to the rescue were not fully staffed, and the total number of the three major troops was less than a thousand.

With 1,000 people to resist the 4,000 army of blood wolves, the danger of this battle can be described as a dangerous time.

Nomads have always plundered when they are victorious, retreated when they are defeated, and come and go like the wind, which is very similar to the current guerrilla warfare method.

(The essence of guerrilla warfare is that the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy is stationed and disturbs us, the enemy is tired and we fight, and the enemy retreats and we pursue.) ）

Of course, the reason why they lost the first battle in this big battle was because they did not expect that the Zisai border army, from the generals and soldiers, to be so fearless and tenacious, was not at all a grade higher than ten years ago.

You must know that ten years ago, their troops, but in one round of charge, they broke through nearly 10,000 Zisai infantry troops, and repeatedly rushed and killed, as if entering a no-man's land.

However, what they didn't know was that this time they were facing the strongest and most elite Guards Xiao Cavalry Battalion, Yebei Iron Cavalry, and Destroying Front Battalion - the strongest troops in the border army, so they could play this record

Moreover, what they used was also the nomadic cavalry tactics and horse archery skills.

If this battle is replaced by any infantry of the Zisai, the end can only be unilaterally slaughtered.

And the second reason for the defeat was that in this battle, the two main generals of the barbarians were eliminated - Yujiu Lu Nazhe and Jochi

The army lacks the backbone, and no matter how strong the combat power is, it suffers from no one and can only disperse.

The third reason is that the secret troops were not collected at night, and a large amount of forage for the blood wolves was burned.

It was winter, and the grass had not yet grown. For a short time, the war horse could only rely on hay for maintenance.

After that, Huo Yixuan had to temporarily retreat the army to fifty miles away from the West Beacon, suspend the attack, reorganize on the spot, and at the same time hurry up building siege ordnance to prepare for another battle in the coming year.

Although the invasion was only postponed, the 300,000 people at the Zisai border pass could be regarded as temporarily surviving the crisis.

This battle can be described as a brilliant history, enough to go down in history.

However, there were only a few reports sent by Geshu to Beijing.

Even, the soldiers' hard-won achievements were just a bargaining chip for him to ask the court for food and salary and army expansion:

"On the twenty-third day of the first month, my Zisai soldiers went out to attack the enemy, and broke the blood wolf outside the west beacon fire, but the thief chief was powerful, although the solution was burning, the hidden danger was still there, and the Wuhu leaders all held heavy troops, dominated one side, and looked at the Central Plains. The minister thought that the wolf smoke had not been extinguished at the moment, and Huo Yixuan's army was still making trouble at the border. Our Zisai border army, ten years of preparation for war, has become a tired old division, because of the lack of food and salary, the soldiers slipped, escaped, mutiny occurred from time to time. 300,000 living beings, seeing that they will suffer from war again, and hundreds of thousands of troops in the Guannai sit on the imperial court's food and salary, and our northern foreign enemies are unable to resist, is to ask the imperial court to allocate 3 million taels to Zisai, expand the army by 50,000, buy horses and train troops, and make friends with Wuhu, and in the coming year, they can swear to march north, and win a battle, there is no other good way. ”

In just more than 100 words, it is sad to say that it is not easy.

And politics, has it never always been like this?

All wars are a continuation of politics.

Even the death of that life is just a bargaining chip.

For Ge Shuyuan, this victory is the capital for him to open his mouth to the imperial court.

For Hu Yanhui, this big victory is his military exploits to the border army.

And for Chang Chifeng, this victory, his goal was achieved.

His purpose is to:

Fight with one punch, lest a hundred punches come.

One war, all wars.

This is also his consistent military strategy.

And for the eldest grandson Yinqing, she, and her clansmen can finally continue to survive under this 'chessboard'.

In this battle, the top management got the results they wanted.

The tense atmosphere in the desert has gradually begun to ease.

It's just that on the path of the inner city of Zise, new graves have been erected one after another, and inside the tombs are empty graves without bones.

Because, the bodies of all the soldiers who died in the West Beacon were permanently buried in the tunnels of the West Beacon and rested here.

The entire Xifeng Fire Earth City no longer exists, and all the tunnels have been forcibly destroyed and filled.

There is no shortage of ownerless bones in the borderlands, so why should the horse leather shroud be returned.

Although everyone was unwilling, the military order was like a mountain, and for the safety of the 300,000 people behind them, they had no choice but to carry it out.

But history is not like that

- It only records the boring results, but never the process

Even if it is one life after another.

Of course, for Nicholas Yang, there are also some conjectures about the missing.

Because of this battle, two people are missing, and even the bones have not been found.

That is, Jing Chuwei and Cao Wuming.

After returning to Zisai, Hu Yanhui ordered all the staff to search for the two at night, and even did not hesitate to send people to go deep into the Gelgong grassland for 3,000 miles, but there was still no news.

It was as if they had evaporated from the air, as if they had never appeared.

Deputy Marshal Huyan had no choice but to report his death in battle.

The night does not accept everyone, but under the joy of this victory, there is also a trace of sorrow and regret.

But war, never like that?

Some people die, and some people disappear for no reason.

In fact, the same missing were Su Mansha and the white-robed assassins of the Three Hundred Ming Venerable Palace.

Huo Yixuan also sent people to search for more than a month, but there was no news, so he had to send a delegation to the country of Pals to report his disappearance.

At this time, both the enemy and the enemy know in their hearts that in this desert, anything can happen.

And the longer the disappearance, the slimmer the hope of survival......
