Chapter 382: A Thousand People Rush into Battle
As soon as the handsome flag fell, the morale of the nearby Gaochang generals was even lower. Many threw away their weapons and then knelt down in surrender.
Gao Chang said: "Don't kill me, I'll surrender!" "When one person surrendered, there was a chain reaction in an instant, and more Gaochang soldiers threw the blades in their hands and knelt in place, hoping that the Tang Army would let them live.
However, the Tang army only came tonight for the harvest. Therefore, before the Gao Chang soldiers kneeling on the ground had time to shout the sentence "I am willing to surrender", they had already become the souls of the Tang saber that charged by.
The Tang army will not be taken prisoner tonight, as long as the 8,000 troops stationed in Gaochang in Xizhou will be annihilated. Many Gaochang soldiers who witnessed all this were stunned, and the Tang army actually killed prisoners.
Then before they had time to make any moves, the Tang army, which turned its horse's head and charged again, had already come again like a grim reaper.
In front of the elite cavalry of the Tang army, the soldiers of Gaochang were almost powerless to fight back, but there were countless casualties in just a few charges.
However, the manpower of the Tang army was still too small, and gradually, some Gaochang officers and generals organized some soldiers and began to confront the Tang army.
It also gradually caused some casualties to the Tang army. But compared to the damage caused by the Tang army to the Gaochang side, the Tang army's losses are almost negligible.
Wailing, screaming, begging for mercy, all kinds of sounds rang out in the Gaochang camp filled with blood and slaughter.
But the Tang army did not have any mercy, what was in the war, the essence of war was to reap benefits for themselves.
Therefore, when there was a touch of fish belly white on the horizon, many Gaochang soldiers had been frightened by the Tang army and began to flee for their lives in the distance.
For these escaped soldiers, Jiang Gan didn't care. After all, the gap in manpower is there, even if you want to take care of Jiang Gan, you can't take care of it.
Seeing that Gao Chang had more and more fugitives, Jiang Gan's hatred for Xu Jingzong became more and more serious. He had wanted to bring all 5,000 people with him.
But Xu Jingzong's thief bird had to say that the night attack was unexpected, and how to attack the camp when there were too many people.
and thought that he needed to take over the Xizhou city defense, and forcibly took away the remaining 4,000 elite horsemen. Only 1,000 people were left for Jiang Gan, so Jiang Gan couldn't do it now if he wanted to chase down Gaochang's fugitives.
Finally, at dawn, the entire Gaochang State's 8,000 troops stationed in Xizhou had been harvested by the Tang army.
Gaochang's camp also became a hell on earth, with stumps and broken arms flying everywhere, and the corpses of Gaochang soldiers were piled up into a hill.
It was dawn, and the Gaochang camp was gone. Jiang Gan, who stood up like a killing god, was covered in blood, and there was still the flesh and blood of Gaochang soldiers in his armor, and the whole person was like a blood gourd.
A drop of blood on his face dripped to the corner of his mouth, Jiang Gan stretched out his tongue and licked it, and swallowed it in his stomach. Jiang Gan showed an expression of enjoyment on his face, and then suddenly shouted: "Datang, Wansheng!" ”
"Datang, Wansheng!" Standing in the dilapidated camp, the remaining Tang army officers and soldiers were no better than Jiang Gan.
Everyone was like a demon crawling out of the blood. But in an instant, the emotions of the soldiers were ignited by Jiang Gan, and the shouts of Datang Wansheng shook the heavens and the earth.
"Count the battle damage!" Jiang Gan ordered to the guards on the side.
"Yes!" Several soldiers began to calculate the ratio of their own and enemy losses. Due to the large number of people on Gaochang's side, and the fact that many people had already become a broken corpse, it was not until the afternoon that the soldiers reported the number of enemies destroyed and their own battle losses to Jiang Gan's desk.
"General, our army killed one hundred and seventy-one people, seriously wounded eighty-nine people, slightly injured four hundred and sixty-three people, the total strength of the enemy is 8,000, the general has ordered not to accept prisoners this time, so they ran away more than 1,000 people, and our army has destroyed a total of 7,328 enemies......" Listening to the number reported by the soldiers, Jiang Gan licked his tongue and laughed proudly.
At such an almost negligible price, it is equivalent to the total annihilation of the Gaochang defenders. In this battle, Lao Tzu is going to be famous!
One to sixty, such a record, I'm afraid that even those old generals in Chang'an City have never had it, so Jiang Gan smiled happily, he had a reason to be happy.
"Very good, good job, pass the order, rest on the spot for one night, and follow me into Xizhou City tomorrow. The robes who died in the war will bring their ashes back to the Central Plains for burial. Jiang Gan gave a faint order, and then sat down, ready to think about how to cross Xu Jingzong and give His Majesty a fold.
Thousands of people rushed into battle, and with such a low battle damage, he felt it was necessary to let His Majesty know what he was capable of.
No matter what role Xu Jingzong played in this, including the fact that Su Wuxuan drugged the Gaochang army in advance, it had been ignored by Jiang Gan.
He intends to monopolize the credit. ………… Today's Xizhou City is no different from the past, except for the rumored families.
The people are still supposed to eat and drink, and there is no tension at all that should be felt before the arrival of the big station.
Although the news that the Tang army had arrived outside Xizhou City had spread throughout Xizhou yesterday, Xizhou had changed hands several times over the years, and they had long been accustomed to it.
Unlike the common people, the city lord's mansion was already tense and busy, as if something happy was about to happen.
Not only are craftsmen repairing and renovating the castle lord's mansion, but there are also countless maids preparing delicious wine and food.
The people were puzzled, but they didn't dare ask. Don't look at the city lord's kindness to everyone on weekdays, but only the people of the city lord's mansion know that the city lord is actually a violent person in his bones.
But whenever he has a little bit of dissatisfaction, it is very common for him to kill the subordinates in the mansion with a cane. Last night, Su Wulu did have a banquet for the backbone general Zhang Qi, but Zhang He didn't have time to eat a mouthful of hot food, and he had already gone to see God.
Very old-fashioned bridge, Hongmen banquet, knife and axe hand. Today, the people who want to feast are the real guests.
Leaving the servants of the house busy, Su Wuxuan summoned the chiefs of the various divisions and the heads of the major families in Xizhou City to discuss matters in the hall.
"The lord of the city, the Shazhuge clan who does not want to surrender, the Yan clan, and the Ping clan have all been wiped out, and Su Wulu did not check the head according to his words, but smiled at the blonde middle-aged man: "Hehe, I am naturally relieved that the head of the pavilion is doing things, and the time should be calculated, and please follow me to the city gate to welcome the distinguished guest." The pavilion chief himself was also making a appearance, and when he heard the words, he didn't force it, turned around and handed the three heads on the plate to the attendants behind him, and then replied respectfully with everyone: "Yes, the city lord will ask first." ”
