Chapter 173: Pursuit
Captain Mo, the Jingyuan army has arrived, the enemy has fled, the Jingyuan army is assisting in collecting the wounded, and the second regiment is chasing and annihilating the fleeing remnants of the Tibetan army!"
"What about the battle?"
"When the battle reached its most critical, Captain Dong led the second regiment to first disrupt the rhythm of the Tubo army with a cross-cut, and then went straight to Mutu, and in a panic, the enemy chief Mutu threw down the Tubo infantry who was attacking and fled directly! ……」
In fact, with Mutu taking the lead in fleeing, most of the Tibetan soldiers fell into chaos in an instant, and the Tibetan generals and leaders who were forced to attack under Mutu's high pressure were also in a wait-and-see state.
This led to the fact that at the forefront of the battle line, some of the Tubo infantry who were in the middle of the battle and did not know the reason for the chaos behind were still attacking.
The timely arrival of the Jingyuan army became the last straw that overwhelmed the Tubo people, and the frightened Tubo generals and leaders led their men to flee one after another.
In the chaos, I don't know who shouted,
"The Tang army wants to kill them all, and there will be no one left!"
As soon as these words came out, the Tubo soldiers scattered and fled, desperately running in and outside the camp, making it another very difficult thing to collect the remnants of the enemy, which made Guo Rong feel a headache.
However, seeing that the fighting consciousness of the Tubo people had been completely lost, Guo Rong did not want to waste his precious combat power.
It is obviously impossible to let the heavy cavalry run long distances, or conduct long-distance pursuits, and it is also useless to exhaust Dong Jia and Mo Lingjun.
So Guo Rong directly ordered Dong Jia to leave two teams of heavy cavalry to pursue the remnants of the enemy, and Dong Jia himself rushed to the camp of the Tubo army with the remaining heavy cavalry to assist Li Yu to clear the remnants of the enemy, after all, the horses of the Tubo people were all placed in the camp.
Dong Jia led people away, and the Changying Army, who remained and could still move, began to cooperate with the still alive medical soldiers to treat the wounded.
The remnants of the Tubo army who rushed like headless flies, Guo Rong frowned, such a chaotic running method, the year of the monkey and the month of the horse can stabilize the battalion, and if the wounded soldiers can't be treated, there is no way to talk about large-scale pursuit.
Guo Rong, who was forced to be helpless, remembered the classic sentence of the rabbit, and immediately summoned the officers of the Jingyuan Army who led the team to his side, and taught his experience in the surprised eyes of the Jingyuan Army.
Next......
"Lay down your arms!"
"Kneel with your head in your hands!"
"Shoot or kill!"
"Preferential treatment of captives!"
Tangyin, Tubo, Turkic and other mixed sounds began to spread continuously on the huge battlefield.
I don't know when it started, the first Tubo man didn't know if it was because he was tired, or because he completely collapsed, broke the jar, and simply threw his blade on the ground and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands.
Just as he was anxiously waiting for his fate, a passing Jingyuan army just glanced at him and rushed directly past him.
Seeing this scene, the Tubo soldiers who were preparing to resist or flee for their lives threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
A chain reaction followed, and the tired, frightened, straggled, unable to walk, too late to escape, and had no intention of fighting again, the Tibetan soldiers threw down their ordnance and begged to surrender.
The Jingyuan Army, under the command of Guo Rong, began to clean up the battlefield in an orderly manner, and at the same time sent a large number of personnel to the Tubo camp to annihilate the remnants of the enemy, and began to help treat the wounded.
The battle of the camp of the Changying army was coming to an end, and the battle of the camp of the Tubo army was completely wiped out with the addition of the two heavy cavalry regiments of Dong Jia and Mo Lingjun and the Jingyuan army.
Even though some of the Tibetan cavalry fled in advance, the Changying army still captured a large number of livestock such as war horses and pack horses, including the entire Tibetan army, and there were more than 5,000 war horses alone!
Immediately, Li Yu transferred personnel with better equestrian skills from the remaining Changying Army and Jingyuan Army to temporarily form two light cavalry battalions of 500 men to replenish the heavy cavalry battalion of the Changying Army, which had turned the tide of the war at a critical moment this year.
At the same time, the three cavalry battalions were supplemented with war horses, so that the three cavalry battalions reached the standard configuration of one person and three horses (two war horses, one pack horse) in the case of long-distance running.
Taking advantage of the gap between the three cavalry battalions to rest, eat, drink, and replenish, Li Yu rushed to the Changying army camp and had a brief discussion with Guo Rong, Duan You, Liu Yuxi, Luo Chinese, and others.
Jingyuan Army's envoy, the veteran Duan You's performance was expected by everyone including Guo Rong.
What really surprised Guo Rong was that not only did he hand over all the soldiers who defended the city, the 7,000 Jingyuan army, and the treasury in the city, but he also took the initiative to serve as Liu Yuxi's deputy in charge of logistics.
After resting, Li Yu led the cavalry in pursuit, and after dawn, Guo Rong would set out with 3,000 foot soldiers, followed by Luo Chinese escorting supplies, and Liu Yuxi would take over the two large battalions of Tubo and Changying Army and the entire Jingzhou City with the support of Duan You.
After establishing a clear division of labor, Li Yu returned.
Although the battle is basically over, at this moment, the surroundings of the two large camps outside Jingzhou City are still blazing into the sky, and the firelight reflects the dark sky red.
After resting and replenishing for an hour, Li Yu led three fully formed cavalry battalions and began to pursue forward.
After escaping from the city of Jingzhou, the defeated Mutu was like a frightened bird at first, but when he found out that the Tang army did not pursue him at the first time, he relaxed a lot.
While moving towards the rear, he sent his own guards to collect the cavalry that had fled from the camp from the rear, and before he knew it, nearly a thousand horsemen gradually gathered behind Mutu for more than an hour.
It's just that what Mu Tu doesn't know is that this is exactly what Guo Rong and Li Yu want to achieve, after all, the destructive power that cavalry in thousands of units can cause is far from being comparable to ordinary routs.
When the increase in the number of troops at hand gradually restored Mutu's confidence, and his number reached 1,000 cavalry, Mutu suddenly felt that he could do it again.
An hour of trimming, an hour of pursuit, when the three cavalry battalions led by Li Yu caught up with Mutu, it was already two hours later.
Facing Li Yu who was chasing from the rear, Mu Tu, who felt that he was doing it again, immediately ordered a head-on counterattack!
For Mutu's mysterious self-confidence, Li Yu looked confused, but the two captains of the heavy cavalry were overjoyed.
With Li Yu's order issued, Mo Lingjun and Dong Jia took the lead, and with just one face, the Tubo cavalry was already scared to be killed.
In one face, the more than 1,000 cavalry that had finally gathered were directly defeated, and Mutu's heart completely collapsed, and he no longer had the heart to resist and fled first again, and ran all the way.
By daybreak, the outline of the camp in the distance was clearly visible, and Mabenmutu's mood suddenly relaxed.
