Chapter 461: Great Success
From defeating Beihu to clearing the spoils inside and outside the mouth of the Great Wall, Liang Xiao spent more than four days.
The military camp Pegasus returned to Yanzhou one after another to report the victory.
"Liang Xiao, the marshal of the northern territory, the former general, and the marquis of Lanling, led 50,000 people to defeat the 200,000 Beihu and beheaded countless people!"
"About 140,000 war horses were captured, about 300,000 pack horses and pull horses, and about 180,000 dead horses! There are about 1.8 million head of cattle and sheep! ”
"There are 1,000 ladders, rushing carts, and catapult trucks each!"
"Twenty-three thousand ingots of gold were seized, each weighing about one catty!"
"One hundred and eleven thousand silver ingots, three catties per ingot, each ingot!"
On the day the news spread, there was a shock in Yanzhou!
50,000 breaks 200,000, a complete victory?!
After repeatedly confirming the news, the Taishou Mansion immediately issued a notice.
Gongsun Yue and Diana, who were in the Marquis of Lanling's mansion, heard the good news and hugged each other to celebrate.
Li Xinwen on the side was stunned, and his pupils trembled slightly.
"He, he really did it......"
That night, the boy who talked in the snow has become the Optimus Prime of Da Zhou!
At this moment, there will be no second person in the world, and his image is taller and more majestic than him.
Looking at Gongsun Yue and Diana, who were already crying with joy, Li Xinwen held back her tears and tried to smile.
The sweetheart protects the family and defends the country, and the hatred of the snow country is destined to go down in history, just waiting to return and get married!
I was a little envious of them......
"The first rate in the world!"
"The old man Dongye said it well: I don't hate the Marquis of Lanling and don't see the ancients, I only hate the ancients and don't see the Marquis of Lanling!"
The streets and alleys are full of laughter and laughter, and there is no shortage of people crying with joy.
Countless old people look up to the sky to worship their ancestors and comfort their ancestors.
This homeland they love can finally be peaceful for a long time, and it seems that they don't have to worry about the invasion of Beihu!!
Coupled with the Tuntian strategy promoted by Liang Xiao, coupled with the assistance of new agricultural tools such as Quyuan plow, they believe that their lives will get better and better!
Jian Wuwu sat in his room, his hand shaking violently.
"Win??"
Yanyun's iron cavalry seems to be only about 25,000, and the number of cavalry may be less than a quarter of Beihu's.
She couldn't figure out what Liang Xiao was doing to break Beihu.
Judging from the number of captures, it is obvious that Liang Xiao has won a complete victory, and the Beihu army may even be wiped out!
Jian Wuwu estimated, counting the cattle and sheep, the total value of the capture in this battle is unimaginably high!
The prophecy of the sword clan has not been fulfilled, Yanzhou is as stable as Mount Tai, and the Great Zhou even broke the Beihu ......
At this moment, Jian Wuwu's mood was extremely complicated.
His beloved daughter fell in love with Liang Xiao, and his eldest son also went down in history with Liang Xiao......
The prophecy has repeatedly failed because of Liang Xiao, where should the Sword Clan go?
In the Taishou Mansion, Qin Baili and Lin Xiu, who had returned, couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised when they received the news.
"Eighteen years of national shame, once it snowed!!"
Even as a member of the Sword Clan, Qin Baili was still sincerely happy to witness Liang Xiao's miracle and the crisis in the north resolved.
Kiyotsuki Higashino, who came to visit, looked at the ecstatic two and was entangled for a while.
These two are both talents, and they are the best sons of the turbid world.
As the daughter of the Higashino clan, marrying one of them is not insulting to the other party.
The question is, who should you choose......
Kiyotsuki Higashino is guilty of choosing a difficult one.
Higashino Canghai and his eldest son Higashino Xuanji were also overjoyed when they learned of the good news.
Higashino couldn't sit still.
He had already realized that Higashino Qingyue was indeed not worthy of Liang Xiao, and he had to bet on her as soon as possible to facilitate her marriage with other officials of the Taishou Mansion, whether it was out of selfishness or for the sake of Higashino Qingyue.
The flying pigeon biography and the 800-mile rush were transmitted to the capital at the same time, and the flying pigeon biography was also sent to all parts of the country.
The counties in the north were dispatched by Yanzhou to send 400 li to expedite and give notice.
At this time, Liang Xiao was sitting on the battlefield and commanding the three armies.
Rather than chasing the Wind Emperor, it is more important to protect these loot.
The Beihu deserters who lost their food and grass should not be one in ten who can live to join Tuoba Pavilion.
"We need to raise supplies as soon as possible and enter the desert as soon as possible!"
Liang Xiao spoke.
Shifang smiled happily.
The soldiers of the Northern Hebei Army finally waited for the military order they wanted.
Just now, they heard Liang Xiao mention that there is a lake called Hanhai in the depths of the desert, as well as a wolf Juxu Mountain and a Guyan Mountain, which can seal the heavens and the earth to boost the country's prestige.
If you can follow Liang Xiao to seal the wolf Juxu, drink Ma Hanhai, and leave a name in history, this life will be in vain!
Husband, it should be so!
It's safe to retreat to the countryside!
However, it is late autumn now, and if you want to enter the desert, you can't do it without enough winter supplies.
As for quilts, leather clothing, etc...... There are a lot of Beihu trophies captured, which is enough for 200,000 people to survive the winter!
These leather clothes were placed on the side of the grain transportation team at the mouth of the Great Wall, and the Beihu people fled in a hurry, and there was no time to set fire on a large scale, and a small amount of fire was also extinguished by Yanyun Iron Cavalry in time.
"Report to the Marshal! The number of captured Beihu people has been ascertained: 5,000 cavalry and 31,000 infantry, all of whom have been disarmed!! ”
The expression of the marching master who came to report was more than yesterday when he calmly cleared the spoils of war, and he even had some regret.
Among these people, there may be those who participated in the disaster of moving the capital eighteen years ago, and it would be too cheap for them not to kill them with a knife.
But the captives are indeed more meaningful than executions.
Let them do drudgery such as digging iron ore, so that the workers who were originally engaged in mining can be diverted to other industries, such as transporting grain.
This year, Liang Xiao is ready to enter the desert and not give the Beihu people a chance to breathe!
However, for now, it is necessary for the army to rest and recuperate, and then pursue Beihu to the west.
The flying pigeon passed the book and the 800 miles were sent to Tongguan and Hangu Pass urgently, and they would soon be able to inform the Guanlong side, and they would attack from both sides, so as not to worry about the undefeated Beihu people.
Now, it depends on Guan Long's sincerity.
Liang Xiao was waiting for Mu Lingxiao's team to return.
Yanyun Iron Cavalry urgently carried more than ten days of dry food to pursue the remnants of Beihu, but they also had to consider the supplies for the return journey, so they might not be able to catch up with Emperor Feng.
Sure enough, Mu Lingxiao, who had been chasing for many days, finally led the troops to report back a day later.
"Marshal Qiyu! Our army beheaded more than 10,000 people, but the enemy army fled all the way, killing horses for food, and our army had limited supplies and was forced to retreat! ”
Yanyun Iron Cavalry brought back tens of thousands of heads, but the generals could not hide their frustration.
If you can hunt down Emperor Feng and Hu Yanche, the reward is only one of them.
The point is that there is a chance to never be a problem.
Once this pair of monarchs and ministers are caught, why worry about the north?
Liang Xiao comforted: "This matter is also expected, the horses and spare horses ridden by the surviving generals of Beihu should be of an excellent breed, not much worse than the good horses of the Western Regions, no matter what, we must protect the Wind Emperor and others from escaping." Estimating the number of heads, the enemy army that managed to escape should only be about 5,000, which is barely acceptable. ”
The generals laughed.
Chang Polang, Lei Hong and others dropped their weapons and rested in place, exhausted.
They chased for several days and nights, and the killers were almost out of strength, and the soldiers with swords and axes all cut their blades and changed their weapons for a round.
Nominally, the Great Zhou army was 50,000 against 200,000, but after breaking the enemy army, it was actually 25,000 Yanyun Iron Cavalry chasing down more than 100,000 defeated troops, and its difficulty can be imagined.
In the first battlefield, they changed two rounds of weapons, and this weapon was prepared by Liang Xiao in advance, and it was placed in the warship of the Yellow River Water Army, which could be replaced in time.
It's not so easy to kill hundreds of thousands of pigs, let alone hundreds of thousands.
Fortunately, it is not necessary to be captured, otherwise the difficulty of the battle will be a few levels higher!
Marching west from the mouth of the Great Wall and joining Guanlong in the Hetao area also required a large amount of grain and grass.
This battle is a great victory, and the people of Yanzhou are excited, unprecedented!
The Dugu family, the Ram family, and the Duanmu family in Yanzhou have already lost their hearts and left one after another, for fear that the people of Yanzhou will turn up the old accounts they once had for the Beihu people.
While Liang Xiao's army was resting and preparing, it was also waiting for news from the capital.
