Chapter 163: The results are gratifying
Tengge is not the first time to lead troops, but the first time he encounters such a situation, he is flustered at this time.
Under the escort of the pro-soldiers, retreated.
Before, he also fantasized about breaking through Zhenxi Pass and leading 130,000 soldiers to rush into Lanshan County and Ningchang Mansion.
After a period of burning and looting, and returning victorious, he can be made the crown prince by his father.
But now it's his fault that he's defeated, and there are so many dead and wounded.
Even if he can get away with saving his life, he will be further away from that position.
Sariman secretly regretted at this time, did not obey the order of the imperial brother, and withdrew his troops earlier.
Greedy wants more military exploits, and also wants to attack Zhenxi Pass and loot more gold, silver and jewelry.
It's all over now.
When these people ran out of the canyon, they found that they didn't know what they had stepped on, and they exploded again.
It felt like a loud bang erupted from hell, causing these stunned soldiers to be blown up again.
There were lucky people who ran out, but many more died directly and were injured.
The eldest prince Tengge was injured and was carried out by his own soldiers.
Sariman had no such good luck, and was thrown by a black bump, and he and his own soldiers were knocked unconscious and lay unconscious on the ground.
Fortunately, they were on the edge and were not trampled on by the retreating soldiers.
By the time the eldest prince Tengge and the others escaped, the sky was already faintly bright.
Teng Ge looked at the sparse and sloppy soldiers, his eyes were red.
"How many soldiers do we have now?" Teng Ge asked in a trembling voice, scared in his heart.
The subordinate replied: "I have just counted it, and now there are only 28,000 people left." Everything else ......."
Either dead or wounded, stayed in the canyon, or died outside the gate of Zhenxi Guan.
Tengge's eyes showed horror, "What the hell is that black bump?" Why is it so powerful? ”
Everyone didn't understand, and there was silence.
At this time, an older veteran said: "Great Prince, in fact, that thing is powerful, but it fled in a hurry, and the stampede casualties were even more serious. ”
When Teng Ge heard this, he suddenly found that he had made a mistake in commanding, "It's not that he died by stampede, but that Dayan's side can attract heavenly thunder." ”
Everyone was stunned, and soon someone thought of the key.
The eldest prince is trying to shirk responsibility.
"Yes, Great Prince, it was Da Yan who was able to attract heavenly thunder to cause such a big death." The other leader hurriedly said.
When the eldest prince heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, "What about Uncle Wang?" ”
"The prince was struck by thunder, and the jade was shattered." The soldier replied.
The eldest prince was taken aback, he was almost chopped to death just now, "Dayan has attracted thunder, and we can't fight the enemy." Uncle Wang, you wait, our Covenant Country will not give up, and will definitely take revenge on you. ”
After some statement, the soldiers also regained their calm, got on their horses one after another, and continued to flee.
Huo Yingjie rode a horse and wanted to continue the pursuit, but was stopped by the adjutant general.
"Major General, let's send someone to go, you command in the rear. This time, the Treaty country suffered numerous casualties, and it was roughly estimated that there were 100,000. ”
Huo Yingjie chuckled, "This time the Covenant country was defeated, I must have felt inexplicable." ”
"Chen Qianhu, Liu Qianhu, Sun Qianhu, you lead three teams of men and horses, and pursue them from the left and right and the rear respectively."
"Yes, Major General." When they heard this, they burst into laughter.
They were all ready to sacrifice, desperate to die, to defend Zhenxi Pass, but they didn't expect this battle to be so easy.
Huo Yingjie ordered, "Clean up the battlefield." Be careful, if you see an iron lump that has not exploded, be sure to stay away and be careful. ”
"Yes, Major General." The soldiers should get down and start clearing the battlefield.
The dead are put together, the seriously injured are directly stabbed, and then these people are put together with the deceased.
Those who were slightly injured were stripped of their belts and tied up in a string.
Huo Yingjie asked people to count the battle situation, and they quickly counted it, and then sent it to General Liu in Zhenxi.
Of course, there was also a secret letter that reached Gongsun Lian's hands.
When Liu Zicheng saw Huo Yingjie leading troops to kill 100,000 enemies, he disagreed, "Brother Gongsun, Huo Yingjie is so happy as always!" ”
"Although yesterday's thunder was loud and unexpected, it is impossible to wipe out the 100,000 troops of the Treaty Country."
Gongsun Lian smiled, "If you don't believe it, it doesn't mean it can't happen." You're right, those loud noises and black bumps don't hurt enough to kill and injure 100,000. ”
"However, the major general laid an ambush on both sides of the canyon in advance, and then made a loud noise and injury with black bumps, causing people to be injured and horses frightened, and a very serious stampede occurred. More than half of the casualties were caused in this way. ”
When Liu Zicheng heard this, his face was shocked, "In this way, even if there are not 100,000, there are tens of thousands of casualties." ”
"Fan Terrier, immediately take someone to clean up the battlefield and count the real death toll."
Liu Zicheng still believes in his own people, and he doesn't believe in Huo Yingjie and Gongsun Lian.
Gongsun Lian shook his head, since he didn't believe it, let's wait for the results of the investigation.
Liu Zicheng didn't care about competing with Gongsun Lian at this time, if he really had such a great feat, he would have a great contribution.
Leave the rest to Liu Zicheng.
Gongsun Lian believes that Liu Zicheng can do a good job, after all, this person is the best at grabbing credit.
Li Laohan already knew that this battle had been won, and patted Gongsun Lian on the shoulder, "You guys are very good." ”
"It's Xiaoyue......" Gongsun Lian didn't dare to take credit.
Li Laohan hurriedly stopped, "This matter has nothing to do with Xiaoyue. ”
Gongsun Lian was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "Uncle Li, what you said is true." ”
A loom and a spinning wheel can be coveted by many people.
If anyone knew that the gunpowder was improved by Li Xiaoyue's formula, it would inevitably bring greater trouble and danger to Xiaoyue.
Li Laohan handed Gongsun Lian a letter, "This is the letter I sent to Xiaoyue in Xiguan, saying that after I win the war, I will give you this letter." ”
Gongsun Lian was surprised, and thought that this was Li Xiaoyue congratulating him in advance.
In fact, congratulations to him on his victory.
However, the content of the second paragraph surprised Gongsun Lian.
After reading it, Gongsun Lian asked Li Laohan in a low voice, "Uncle Li, Xiaoyue is so kind, she actually asked me to treat the captives well." ”
Originally, Gongsun Lian and Huo Yingjie had discussed and left no prisoners.
As soon as the provincial deed country surrendered and bowed to the vassals, the ministers were full of benevolence and righteousness, and the emperor released the captives.
These captives were young and middle-aged, and they could continue to fight in the future.
In doing so, the tiger will be properly released to the mountain.
Li Laohan shook his head, "That's not what Xiaoyue meant. She said that the wasteland will be opened next year, and now the workshop has recruited people from the neighborhood to work. ”
"Next year's spring ploughing, as well as next year's land reclamation, will require a lot of labor. These captives stayed to clear the wasteland, give them something to eat, and didn't have to pay for work. ”
When Gongsun Lian heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "It's worthy of Xiaoyue, it's very good." ”
"It's just Uncle Li, you also know that those civil servants in the court are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and when the time comes, the Covenant State will bow down and be a vassal, and His Majesty will put the captives back."
"Do you have any good ideas?"
