Chapter 1284: Defeat the army of the country of Piao
The situation on the battlefield has plummeted, which is not unusual for the Tang soldiers, because in the process of following our Highness in the battle, we have seen a lot of similar things, but you are not used to it.
These people who fought with them everywhere were also full of joy, although they were forced to be soldiers by the Tang Dynasty before, and they were unwilling, but at this moment they also knew what a good thing this was, the danger on the battlefield was not great, as long as you worked a little harder, then you would be able to achieve victory, and you would be able to get some benefits on the battlefield.
Li Xiang This is also the first time to gather people from so many tribes to participate in the war, after all, they all belonged to different ethnic groups before, and they also had different ideas in their hearts, and pulling them to the battlefield would require a great risk, so far it is not bad, and the risk is right.
The army of the eldest grandson brothers is definitely not trained in vain, after Li Xiang issued the task, they quickly seized the two passes, and blocked the road that can be evacuated to the maximum, although there are still some small roads around, but many soldiers are from the south, they don't know much about the area around Wacheng, so even if there is a road, they don't know how to run.
What's more, the other troops under Li Xiang are not vegetarians, and they are starting to capture prisoners at this moment.
The cavalry of the steppe was the most captive, and they rode back and forth on tall horses, and if anyone resisted, they would cut off your head with a flick of the scimitar.
There are all kinds of heads rolling down in the southern part of the entire tile city, and when they see these heads, the rest of the soldiers don't dare to run around, it's a big deal to enter the prisoner of war camp in the Tang Dynasty, there is still a way to live.
But if you're running around, those steppe cavalry won't reason with you, and when the sound of horses' hooves appears behind you, your head is actually saying goodbye to you.
The soldiers of the Bi Kingdom were not very strong in their hearts to resist, but now they see that their main force has been defeated, so many people simply don't run, there is nothing on their bodies, even if you can run into the mountains and forests, what can you do?
From the day they were born, they knew that the mountains and forests were not for ordinary people, if you had the ability, you would naturally be able to survive after entering, but if you had been living in the town, after entering the country, you would be able to deliver food to the poisonous snakes and beasts inside, and you would not survive at all.
So instead of obeying the orders of some generals and retreating into the mountains and forests, these people honestly stayed where they were, didn't they just throw their weapons aside, and then enter their camp under the surveillance of the Tang army?
The Datang army has just been propagandizing in the local language, as long as you don't resist, then you can definitely ensure your personal safety.
And this is still a holy decree issued by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, they all know that the Tang Dynasty is a big empire, can their Emperor Majesty still speak without words? What's more, our lives are not very valuable.
General Mppen must not surrender, if he surrenders, then his family in the capital will not live, here is the same as in other countries, when you lead troops to fight, your family must be sent to the capital, this is also to prevent these generals from raising troops to make trouble.
The same is true of General Mipo, his whole family of more than 30 people is in the capital, if he surrenders to the Tang Dynasty, then I am afraid that none of these 30 people will want to live, so he has to run back even if he fights for his life, even if he returns to the capital and is beheaded to show the public, but the people in the family can save their lives.
As for the surrounding people, the news of the border area has already come, when their army is defeated, the first thing these armies want to rob is the common people, so the people around the war zone hurry up and go home, hold their gates to the death, and must not let these rebels run in, otherwise they will lose some food, and maybe they will be able to kill the rebels, without any discipline, they can do anything.
After five or six days of busyness, there were no more large number of Pi troops in this open field, only a few kittens scattered, and all the rest went to the prisoner of war camp.
When General Mipon brought his men here, there were nearly 130,000 people, but now more than 20,000 people have died in the battle alone, and about 80,000 people have entered the prisoner of war camps, and the remaining 6,000 or 7,000 people have retreated into the surrounding mountains and forests.
Hearing the report of the people below, Li Xiang nodded with satisfaction, if tens of thousands of cars go in, it will pose a huge threat to our logistics line, and now there are only six or seven thousand people, so we can let them go first.
"According to the information you have received, how many people are still in the entire country of Pi who can fight?"
On the eleventh day after the end of the war, it was already calm outside, and Li Xiang also raised his flag and summoned his generals to a meeting in the camp.
"If you go back to Your Highness, there must be at least more than 40,000 people in the entire south, but more than 10,000 of them are temporarily recruited, they have not undergone any military training, except for Wang Cheng's more than 13,000 people, the rest of the people are not worried that these people are the elite of the entire Bi country."
Cao Lian also collected a lot of information about the south, and now a large number of troops have been captured, and the entire country is in a state of trembling.
"It seems that they don't have many hole cards anymore, so the southern court still hasn't moved?"
Li Xiang said a little strangely, you must know that in this case, basically people will be sent to humiliate and sue for peace, if this is the case, Li Xiang does not mind keeping their royal family, but to exercise military control over the entire country of Piao.
"Your Highness, it has only been ten days since the end of the war, and those defeated soldiers naturally dare not return to the capital, although some people have run back to report the news, but they are all walking on the mountain paths, and they may not have reached the capital yet."
Cao Lian estimated the time to go south, if he ran south quickly, he would naturally be able to reach the capital.
"It seems that I'm a little anxious, then our army will rest for a few days, but your men can't rest, and immediately send to the major cities in the south to listen to their first-hand information."
After Cao connected to the order, he immediately went down to arrange, during this period of time he was not idle in the country of Bi, his subordinates have established a strong intelligence network, although he suffered trauma some time ago, but it is no problem to want to hear the news.
"How's the loss on our side?"
Li Xiang saw that there were also many corpses cremated in the distance, all of which were Datang's servant army.
