Chapter 1192: The First World War (Final)
As the day dawned, the final end of the war was over.
The last group of soldiers who continued to pursue the defeated army of Gui Rong also returned to the Vietnamese army camp with a little gain.
At this time, there was already a chorus of joy in the Vietnamese military camp, and everyone was celebrating this unexpected victory.
Whenever a harvest was counted and understood by the relevant officials and reported to the camp, it would cause a burst of joy and thunder.
It was Sun Ning, who was also full of smiles on his face after constantly getting reports of relevant results.
"Your Majesty, in the battle last night, we killed more than 38,000 Ghost Rong troops, and our army suffered less than 3,000 casualties, more than half of which were still mistakes in the process of pursuing the enemy."
"Your Majesty, from my camp to the enemy's camp, we have captured a total of 7,000 Guirong prisoners, and another 13,000 people, who are our Han Chinese...... According to them, it was none other than the most elite Murwei men under the command of the Great Khan of the Devil Rong who had suffered heavy losses this time."
"Your Majesty, after counting, there are more than 5,000 horses in the enemy's camp, more than 30 accounts of grain, grass, supplies, armor, bows and arrows, etc., and it is difficult to count them for a while."
"Your Majesty, our army has taken advantage of the situation to attack Yongzhou, and the guards over there seem to be about to surrender!"
The good news after this big victory came, Rao was Sun Ning's steady, and he had thought that he would have a lot of gains because of this, and he couldn't help but feel happy at this time, and nodded again and again: "Okay, good!"
He knew very well what it meant to break the main force of the ghost Rong head-on this time.
This not only means the victory of a battle, but also the inevitable success of regaining the entire Han land such as Hebei and Northern Xinjiang.
The current ghost Rong people have become frightened birds, and they are frightened birds under the disintegration.
Obviously, after this defeat, the internal division of the ghost Rong was completely divided, and it was no longer possible for the other two departments to respect him as the master. And the people of the two departments of Wanyan Yelu are bound to take this opportunity to attack the Great Khan of Smirzhen.
With this internal chaos within them, it became extremely simple for the Vietnamese army to take the opportunity to advance north and recapture those cities and lands that belonged to the Dayue Imperial Court.
Just like the Yongzhou City in front of him, when the ghost Rong is strong, the city guards will defend to the end even if they face several times the enemy. However, once he saw the outcome of this decisive battle, he would change his mind, and whether it was for himself or the people in the city, he could only choose to open the city and surrender to the imperial court.
Yongzhou is like this, and other cities will naturally be no exception, just waiting for the Dayue official army to go north, to contact them, to receive the northern cities that will no longer dare to resist!
Of course, maybe there are still problems, for example, the two Ghost Rong people still maintain extremely strong combat effectiveness, and maybe some cities are still unwilling to back down at this time because they are guarded by the Ghost Rong people.
But all this is bound to be quickly resolved under another arrangement before him.
Because Sun Ning had already received the gift from Li Wannian from Chang'an one step earlier, in order to atone for his crimes, he had already personally led the 100,000 troops of Guanlong into the northern Xinjiang area.
The combat power of this Guanlong army is not weak, and it was launched suddenly, so it can naturally take a few key northern Xinjiang gates in a short period of time.
And as long as such a fortress falls into the hands of the imperial court, it will be a fatal blow to the ghost people.
Because in this way, the vast grasslands outside the northern Xinjiang will completely enter the attack range of the Vietnamese army.
In the past ten years, the Guirong people have occupied northern Xinjiang and Hebei, not only moving the wealth and population of these places to the rear grassland, but also using this as a line of defense to create a new home that seems to be rich and stable.
In other words, outside the border cities of the northern frontier, there are a large number of defenseless and rich Guirong herdsmen, who are the last basic plate of their three tribes.
As long as these places are attacked, it will inevitably force the Oni Rong people to retreat quickly, rescue their own people, and protect their property, which means that they will quickly abandon all kinds of city borders, so that many years of business will be completely destroyed.
It's called a chain reaction.
Sun Ning knew that this battle could be regarded as completely deciding the entire situation in the north, and the first battle had been decided!
Next, it is nothing more than to see how much time the Vietnamese army will spend to recapture and hold the northern frontier and other cities, and how much damage it can inflict on the enemy.
And at this point, as the current emperor and the most noble person in the world, there is really no need for him to charge forward, work hard, trek through mountains and rivers to the north, and continue to entangle and fight with these lost dogs.
Sun Ning knew that at this time, he would almost return to Beijing and Luoyang to preside over the real overall situation of the world!
As it turned out, Sun Ning's guess was correct again.
In the next few days, more good news continued to come back, not only the army here continued to penetrate into the north and seize the cities of Hebei, but also the Guanlong army farther away, under the repeated fighting, captured the two cities in northern Xinjiang.
Then, Li Wannian really followed Sun Ning's ideas, using the two cities as a way to brazenly send troops into the grassland, killing two medium-sized tribes in a row, which made the entire Guirong tribe panic, and made the multi-way Guirong army that originally wanted to defend the city quickly abandon the city, go out of the border pass, and return to the grassland, in order to ensure the safety of his own people.
By the time the battle report came, Sun Ning had already set off for the south.
Although the result was not completely apparent, he could already foresee the final direction, and the entire north would return to the hands of the Dayue court anyway.
Then, when Sun Ning went all the way south, crossed the Yellow River again, and entered the territory of the Central Plains, another good news also came back quickly from the north - Muller Zhen died.
He did not die under the constant pursuit of the Vietnamese army, but died in the internal struggle with Yelu and Wanyan.
Wanyan Chonghu and Yelu Changlong are not good people, and they know that this time they have completely formed a deep hatred with the Great Khan and the Murwei Department.
Therefore, they simply did not stop doing anything, and set up an ambush near Youzhou City in northern Xinjiang, waiting for the arrival of the defeated army.
As soon as it arrived, the two elite soldiers whose strength had been preserved quickly came out, completely cutting off all the retreats of the Scorn Division.
Under the influence of heavy casualties, exhaustion after many days of fleeing, this last elite of the Murwei Division, which had less than 20,000 men left, was completely annihilated under the onslaught of twice as many enemies.
In the end, even the Great Khan, a generation of male lords on the grassland, who may have led the entire Guirong clan on the road to prosperity, was actually killed by the battle!
This internal battle of the Ghost Rong means the complete demise of the Murwei Department, and it also means that the best opportunity for the Ghost Rong to rise will disappear.
After Sun Ning learned about it, he stood on the edge of the Yellow River and was silent for a long time.
In the end, there was a sigh: "It is a pity to die like this...... This sent an order to the soldiers in the north, telling Chen Qingyun that they would raise the banner that we would seek justice for the sake of the Emperor and kill such traitors who killed the lord!"
At this time, if you don't take advantage of the internal chaos of the enemy and the opportunity of the dragons without a leader, you don't know when you will have to wait for the next time......
