The battle that just ended outside the White Horse Temple can be described as a hearty victory.

The soldiers who accompanied Li Tai to the north from Jingzhou only regarded it as a continuation of a winning record, but for Han Xiong, Wei Xuan and other Heluo Yishi who had been suppressed for more than two years, this big victory was really exciting!

In this battle, nearly 1,000 horses were captured on the battlefield alone, and most of them had no injuries, but they were a little tired, and they could continue to ride and use after a little rest.

As for the captured Northern Qi soldiers, there were even more, with more than 3,000 dead and wounded. It must be known that there are only more than 10,000 people invested in this battle, and this direct loss is nearly one-third, and even if the other horses successfully return, it will be difficult to exert much combat effectiveness without a long period of rest and reorganization.

In addition to the capture of men and horses, the most important thing is the collection of armor and materials. When the Northern Qi people and horses evacuated the battlefield outside the White Horse Temple, they were actually in a state of panic and collapse, and the cavalry soldiers in the rear abandoned all the armor items that could be discarded in order to lose weight in order to speed up the speed and leave the battlefield.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Western Wei Dynasty also collected a large number of armor and artifacts on the battlefield, and transported them back to the White Horse Temple with the carriages that were also abandoned on the battlefield, and piled them up high in the vestibule of the temple, filling the vestibule to the brim.

When Han Xiong, Wei Xuan and others saw this scene, it seemed that they had returned to the time when they followed Li Tai to capture Heyang and take supplies, but many of the robes who fought side by side at that time could not wait for this moment of victory and died in the difficult battles of the past two years.

For a while, several people couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and Wei Xuan couldn't help but burst into tears, and lowered his head and sobbed: "I hope that General Li can Yongzhen Heluo and lead a certain group to attack the thief army!" Although a certain group of people does not lose their will to serve the country, but they have the courage of a horseman, if they get the command of a wise general like General Li, the thief is not enough to break the ......."

If the last time they fought side by side was to take advantage of the rebellion of Hou Jing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the momentum of the armies of the Western Wei Dynasty, then this time it was really Li Tai who turned the enemy around with his own strength.

After this big victory, although the situation between the enemy and us between Heluo and Luo has not been completely reversed, it has undoubtedly been greatly improved compared to before. At this time, it was only more than ten days before Li Tai returned to the Heluo area.

In the case of such a huge disparity between the forces of the enemy and us, these Heluo Yishi were still able to persist in fighting against the Eastern Wei and Northern Qi, and their ambition and combat effectiveness were indeed very tenacious.

However, as Wei Xuan said, they lacked a commander who could coordinate the overall situation and be resourceful to mobilize all sides, so the battle with the enemy army was always hard-hitting. And they themselves are weak, so such a battle naturally does not have any advantage.

Han Xiong knew that Li Tai's situation in Jingzhou was even more majestic now, and it was not up to him to decide which side he was going to sit, so it would inevitably be a little embarrassing if this topic continued, so he hurriedly said: "The general has led his troops to fight first, and the thief army has been defeated and fled. However, there are still remnants of the thieves' city fortifications between the waters, and in order to prevent their people from coming back, it is time to take advantage of the panic in their hearts to sweep them up, so that the thieves will not be able to gain a foothold! ”

Li Tai also nodded after hearing this, although the results of this battle just now were brilliant, but the current situation is still outnumbered. Now Zhu Hunyuan is busy cleaning up the mess of the defeat, and he can't care about repairing the encirclement he has set up for the time being, if he is allowed to react and continue to arrange the siege, it will undoubtedly greatly reduce the effect of this battle.

So Han Xiong and Wei Xuan, who had been leading their troops to stay in the White Horse Temple, each led their troops and went straight to the river lines on both sides of Luoshui and Gushui, sweeping along the river to clear the enemy's remaining human and horse forces.

Although there are still a lot of remnants of the Northern Qi people in these places, they have witnessed the defeat and retreat of the army during the day, and they are already at a loss, and at this time, they are attacked and swept away by the enemy, so they naturally no longer have the will to resist, and they have abandoned the strongholds they are guarding and fled in the direction of Kim Yong City.

After some sweeping, Han Xiong and others burned and destroyed some of the camps set up by the enemy, although there were still a few cities that were difficult to destroy, but it was difficult to build an impenetrable encirclement like before.

After this sweep, Han Xiong and the others obtained a batch of grain and grass that was most important to them at the moment, and the camps and strongholds collected it and gathered nearly a thousand stone of grain. This is undoubtedly a great relief for them, who are about to run out of military rations.

Early the next morning, Li Tai, who had just recovered some energy, led his troops into the Qianjincang City that he had occupied before. It's just that now this cangcheng has long been dilapidated, and the Northern Qi Dynasty has also picked and searched for it without repairing it, so it can only set up a temporary camp with some remaining rammed earth wall foundations.

While his army was still setting up camps, a cavalry team of 100 people was marching north along the river in the southwest direction and in the upper reaches of Luoshui.

Li Tai thought that this was the scout team of Northern Qi, and ignored it. At the moment, he doesn't need to hide his whereabouts, but he needs to make a little more publicity to emphasize his presence, just to order the soldiers to continue to work.

But the scout team was extremely bold, and seeing that the battalion ignored them, they continued to move forward, and their behavior can be described as very bold.

So Li Tai simply sent a team out of the camp to expel him, but when the team got close to each other after leaving the camp, they directly mixed together and returned to the camp.

"The servant Quan Xu knocked to see Lord Lang, and was ordered by the Governor of Shi Dadu to go north to report the military situation to Lord Lang, and he was going to go to Piling, but he didn't expect to see Lord Lang here. I also heard that Lord Lang broke the heroic deeds of the thief army yesterday, and the servants regretted that they could not be ordered to kill the enemy bravely......"

It turned out that this group of people was actually Li Tai's troops in Yique before, and the leader was a sturdy young man in his twenties, born in the Tianshui Quan clan, named Quan Xu, and also a member of the Quan Jingxuan clan, and he was also one of the three thousand Longyou disciples who followed him.

Li Tai has always been approachable, and when he is not busy with business, he doesn't get tired of listening to these sycophantic words of his subordinates for a day, but at this time, because he cares about the situation of other passers-by, he waved his hand to interrupt Quan Xu's words and signaled him to be polite, and then hurriedly said: "Quan Lang doesn't have to be polite, how is the progress of your subordinates?" ”

"Lord Qiyu Lang, a few days ago, Yique divided his troops, and a certain group pursued Shi Dadu Governor deep into the mountains, and under the leadership of that Li Yitong, he visited the barbarians, and with the prestige of the general, he successfully attracted more than ten barbarian tribes and tens of thousands of soldiers, and now he has surrounded Na Bai Ting City!"

Although Quan Xu and others did not follow the general to the north, but these days have not been wasted, the task is much heavier than Li Tai and his party, and they have worked tirelessly to cross the mountains and mountains, and finally completed the task assigned by the general. ”

Li Tai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned the news. Last night, he also interrogated a number of Northern Qi prisoners overnight, trying to find out whether Zhu Hunyuan's sudden attack on the White Horse Temple was related to changes in the situation elsewhere, but those captives were all vague, and it seemed that Zhu Hunyuan deliberately concealed this news.

Now that he finally got the accurate information, Li Tai couldn't help but sigh that it was really a harvest of hard work, if it weren't for the bold sharing of the spoils with the people of Heluo, I am afraid that he would not have such a strong appeal now.

However, for the second half of Kwon Wook's words, he shook his head after thinking about it and said: "Baiting City, I should not go there for the time being, I have to stay here to keep an eye on the thieves in Kim Yong City and prevent them from going south to rescue." The military affairs of his place were still in the hands of Li Yitong and Governor Shi Dadu. For Baiting, there is no need to rush to attack, and it can be strictly besieged. ”

At present, although he has defeated Ke Zhu Hunyuan and broken the siege of his own men and horses, but Zhu Hunyuan's main force is still not lost, and he still has the strength to fight.

If Li Tai gave up this place and went to Baiting to join the barbarian divisions, although the army was stronger, there would be no differentiation and restriction on the enemy forces between Heluo, but Zhu Hun Yuan would be able to integrate and dispatch all the horses between Heluo and then fight with him.

Although there are a lot of barbarian soldiers, their combat effectiveness is very low, and it is difficult to expect them to be able to play the beautiful results of yesterday, once they see the strength of the enemy army, they may directly rout, but it will affect Li Tai's men.

Now Li Tai is sitting here in Qianjincang City, directly trapping Ke Zhu Hunyuan, so that he does not dare to divide his troops south to reinforce Baiting City. At the same time, the defenders of Jiuqu City also had no time to review because they were worried about the same track defense on the opposite side and the Kansai army that might appear from Nankun Road at any time.

In this way, Baiting City, which was originally the link between Yiyang and Heyang, became an isolated city, and the situation between the entire Heluo was stalemate, which was exactly what Li Tai wanted to achieve.

Once such a situation is formed, then the seemingly overall defense of Heluo in Northern Qi will be disintegrated into an isolated stronghold, with the stalemate of the situation and the passage of time, there will inevitably be a place that cannot stand up and collapse, and then cause the collapse of the entire Heluo defense chain!

Li Tai told Quan Xu some detailed questions, and then quickly returned to Baiting City to tell Shi Jing and Li Renjie, and he continued to supervise the construction of the camp here.
