Chapter 438: Keep Walking

An enemy soldier who was running turned his head to look and saw Duan Yu pounce on him with a ring-headed knife, and the Youguo soldier had no weapon in his hand, his eyes widened and he froze there. Before Duan Yu could rush in front of him, he screamed "ah", staring at the blood-stained ring-headed knife. In an instant, Duan Yu saw his trembling palms and the color of fear in his eyes.

"Poof!"

Duan Yu crashed into the man's arms in a daze, and the ring knife in his hand pierced the man's abdomen. The man screamed miserably, grabbed Duan Yu's shoulder armor and pushed it violently. Duan Yu grabbed the handle of the knife with both hands and jerked it to the side, and the scream made his ears hurt.

After fighting too many battles, Duan Yu is now tense, but he is numb to killing, and he will kill enemy soldiers when he sees them! Because countless experiences are like this, he doesn't think much about it.

The enemy soldier fell to the ground on his back, his hands covered in blood and covered his stomach, and red intestines flowed from between his palms. The man was lying in a pool of blood, his feet were straight, his body was convulsing, but his throat was no longer sounding.

The company pursued and killed for nearly half a mile, and the faster the defeated soldiers ran, at this time finally tens of thousands of people dispersed in confusion, but the ground was densely packed with corpses and half-dead wounded soldiers. However, most of them will not be able to escape, and the chase will continue, possibly for several days!

Duan Yu stretched out his hand and wiped a handful of blood on his face, and when he looked up and gasped, he saw that the mountains and fields were full of rushing soldiers! My ears are buzzing, as if I am in a dream.

"Lord Qiqi, we have won, we have won a great victory! The casualties of the Japanese army are not large, and it is not counted that the enemy army has been captured!" A military general came over and hugged his fists excitedly, with a trilling voice in his voice.

Wang Bo rode on a horse, looking at the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, and somehow, he couldn't be happy.

The wind in the air was very small, the smoke and dust could not be dispersed for a long time, and the whole hillside and valley were foggy. It's a sunny day, but it seems to be full of haze.

As far as the eye could see, there were corpses everywhere, the core of the main two battlefields, where the snow was barely visible, and the corpses had piled up and spread out in all directions, leaving the field devastated and in shambles. Weapons and broken flags were everywhere, and even the execution ground was not so tragic.

Wang Bo fought many battles, but he never took pleasure in slaughtering, and never hated life. Pain, killing, only makes him uncomfortable.

However, deep down, I vaguely felt that this was right. His insistence on capturing that glimmer of justice from the slaughter was much better than defeat!

Wang Bo looked back at the battlefield where the smoke and dust were slowly surging, and said to the left and right, and perhaps to himself, "You have all seen the attacks and massacres that have been carried out in various parts of the border counties. If you don't kill them today, they will kill my soldiers and civilians in the Tang Dynasty in the future!"

Song Shilun bowed and saluted, and said quietly: "As a martial artist, it is natural for the last general to kill people in the battle array, and it is good not to slaughter women and children."

Wang Bo glanced at him and said, "Song Sima is reasonable."

Song Shilun then looked into the distance, and could no longer see the scene of the pursuit, saluted Wang Bo, and said, "Youguo has dispatched more than 100,000 people in this battle, and there is no other man to adjust. Take advantage of this victory to cut down its forces and eradicate them!"

After listening to this, Wang Bo accepted Song Shilun's suggestion and said, "Send an order to let Shao Hongxuan's cavalry keep an eye on the remaining cavalry in the south. The infantry of each unit rode horses and took turns to pursue the fleeing infantry of Youguo. The cavalry is mainly aimed at destroying the cavalry of the Hidden Army that has fled in defeat."

"The last will obey!" Song Shilun bowed with satisfaction. Somehow, he was still worried that Wang Bo, who was a martial artist, was soft-hearted, but Wang Bo didn't disappoint him.

Wang Bo suppressed his unfavorable emotions, pondered for a moment, and said, "Don't let Meng Song chase after him, let him concentrate the main cavalry forces of the Eighth Army and the Tenth Army."

Sometimes wisdom does not have anything to do with age, Meng Song is relatively young, but Wang Bo found that this guy is actually very good at judging the situation during the Eastern Crusade War. He is also very willing to give Meng Song the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, this person is the highest-ranking among the young and strong generals.

The infantry of the Tang Army dismounted during the battle, but after the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, after several expansions of war horses, the number of Tang troops dispatched this time was relatively large, and for the sake of mobility, a large number of horse infantry.

Even if the infantry gave the horse, the horse war was not very good, and it was verified after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. But it is still quite good to do such a thing as chasing the rebels, and if the defeated army organizes resistance, then

Dismount and fight. Anyway, if you run on foot, you can't outrun a horse rider in a short time.

After Meng Song in the north received the order from the Chinese army, the main force stopped the pursuit, and sent a small group of men and horses to follow the defeated Tang army horse team, and sent people back to the barracks, first taking some tents, grain, and extra horses, and then trailing away.

After some delay, Meng Song followed unhurriedly with the Eighth and Tenth Armies, changed horses and rode every once in a while, and followed until evening, but the distance from the defeated army was getting farther and farther away.

In the cavalry brigade of the Youjun Army, Duan Zhaotong has disappeared. There are about 10,000 Hu cavalry, 10,000 Hu infantry, 20,000 Liaoxi cavalry, and 40,000 Liaoxi infantry in the Liaoxi army. After the defeat of the cavalry, they fled.

A lot of people died in the battle array, and some were scattered along the way, and now there are only a few thousand cavalry left in the Liaoxi Youjun, and there are also a large number of Hu cavalry, although the whole horse herd is much better than when it was just defeated, but it is still in chaos.

In the evening, the horses ran through the slaughter, and then carried the people around for a whole day, and the horses continued to die of exhaustion.

The horsemen ran away from the direct rout of the battle formation, there was nothing, and there was a shortage of food; What's worse is that there are no tents and the like. Everyone rushed into battle to kill, and it was impossible to charge with a tent! You can't even bring too many extra horses.

After a large number of people stopped one after another, they quickly shivered from the cold.

At this time, it is the first month, and it is spring according to the season, but there are many springs in the Northeast, and there are still in the ice and snow everywhere, and people can still freeze to death! In less than half an hour, the Hu cavalry had quietly fled.

There are few cavalry in Liaoxi who run away without permission, they are Youguo people, and their only thought after the defeat is to go north and return to Liaodong. For long journeys, it is clear that traveling with a large group of people is the best option. The Hu cavalry were also mostly herdsmen on the grasslands north of Liaodong County, and they did not want to stay on the side of Liaoxi County.

The people were shivering with cold, the wilderness was dark, the mountains were very barren, and they had to use weapons such as ring-headed knives to cut down trees, because they didn't bring axes and firewood knives. It is completely unable to meet the needs of the army.

It was not difficult for the military generals of the Youguo and the generals of the Hu clan to communicate, and the generals gathered around a fire that had finally risen, and the surroundings were crowded with people. The group discussed, and someone said, "Hurry up, and tomorrow you will be able to reach Liaodong County, and you will have no worries about supplies."

But the Hu generals disagreed: "Once this battle is lost, the entire Liaoxi County and Liaodong County will not be able to stop the Tang army. We're tired of the horses, so even if we don't have any worries, how can we go?"

Another human: "After we have no worries, if the Tang army also arrives, we want to defend the city?"

The military general of Youguo couldn't help but say, "You want to go, Youguo is over, where are we going?"

Everyone sighed when they heard this, and there was a hopeless atmosphere.

It was even suggested that they take a breath and find a decisive battle with the Tang army's pursuers, because the Tang army's cavalry was not numerous.

However, this method was quickly denied, and after some discussion, a group of people had no choice. In the end, the tribes set off one after another to continue walking, and the valley was dark, but fortunately the route could be determined by observing the river, otherwise you would have to get lost.
