Chapter 630 Cunning
Two thousand five hundred cavalry swept through the army like a violent wind, and without slowing down, they had already rushed to the heart of the army, leaving behind them countless corpses and blood flowing wantonly.
The truth is even easier and simpler than Zhang Shigui's best imagination, there is no need to dig through the entire army, and the 50,000 enemy army has been completely defeated.
It was a terrible sight, and all kinds of sounds spread along the ancient road of Hanseki until the sky boiled over, and the crowd scattered and fled like an exploding honeycomb.
Both the attackers and the fleeing people are extremely crazy, completely revealing the ugliest side of humanity in the setting sun.
As the commander of the army, Wang Shiwei, Shan Xiongxin and the two fled quickly, Shan Xiongxin was slightly more experienced, and the cavalry only rushed into the camp, he had already turned over and fled with his cronies without looking back, Wang Shiwei reacted a little slower, but he also followed.
The Henan army, which has always claimed to be the world's heroes, seems to have only one advantage at this time, that is, under the defeat and loss, it can preserve its strength to the greatest extent.
The army collapsed almost instantly, and this kind of large-scale rout with little resistance was also a difficult thing for the regular army to do, so Zhang Shigui, who was ready to expand the results of the battle, vigilantly immediately restrained his subordinates.
He has been fighting in Henan for many years, and he is too familiar with such a scene, if you have a large number of soldiers, chasing the dead and chasing the north, it is very easy to recruit soldiers, but if you have few soldiers, you must be careful when chasing a large group of defeated enemies.
If you divide your troops, it is easy to get caught in a melee, and maybe in the end, you will be defeated inexplicably, and if you do not divide your troops, it will be difficult to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
In fact, this is the fundamental reason why the rebel army in Shandong, Hebei, Henan and other places is difficult to exterminate.
Moreover, the sky also made it easy for Zhang Shigui to make a decision, and it was not a good idea to fight the Henan rout at night.
Seeing the deserters all over the mountains and fields leaving in a hurry was also a very painful thing for the Tang cavalry who were committing suicide.
Like Ashina Danai, he ran to Zhang Shigui with a mottled body and an unwilling face, and asked with a pant, "Why did you stop?" The prey is to run in front, and with a bow and arrow, you can shoot ......"
It's just that the words are not finished in the end, looking at Zhang Shigui, whose face is sweat mixed with dust, scratching marks on his face like mud, but his eyes are as burning as an eagle's falcon, a sense of awe arises spontaneously in Ashina Danai's heart.
Military victory is the most beautiful gift a general receives, and its additional effects are numerous, and the great increase in the authority of the general is one of them.
3,000 soldiers broke the enemy army of 50,000 people, and the miraculous victory was vividly placed in front of him, and the soldiers who were still laughing at Zhang Shigui's incompetence before pulled out one at random at this time, and bent down in front of Zhang Shigui with a happy heart.
At this time, Zhang Shigui looked a little embarrassed, but his whole body was full of authority and self-confidence, and this battle was undoubtedly a hearty battle for him, which suppressed the haze in his heart.
He looked at Ashina Danai's appearance, and felt a little proud in his heart, but he still silently recited a few words, winning but not being defeated but not discouraged, this is the way to general, which calmed down the boiling heart a little.
"It's getting late, it's not appropriate to chase ...... Besides, General Lu is afraid that he is coming back, and I don't know what he will tell us? ”
Ashina Danai still said a few words of pity, but he actually muttered in his heart, what can he say when he comes back, and what do he dare to say? The only thing that worries him a little is that don't Lao Tzu is working hard here, but that guy caught Wang Shiwei or Shan Xiongxin, God, that's too bad......
After that, the Turks, who had less thoughts, were left with only joy.
In this battle, 50,000 enemies were broken, there were not many casualties, and the enemy fled faster than rabbits, so that those of them with four legs were a little dumbfounded, and there was no stubborn resistance, and there were not too many casualties, which was true for both sides.
More than 2,000 enemies were captured, and 50,000 people were left behind, which cannot be said to be too much, and one by one, the yellow-skinned and ragged Henan soldiers, Ashina Danai did not look down on them very much.
As for the grain, grass and ordnance, well, if these things are picked up, it may not be enough to make people laugh, Wang Shichong is too poor, which greatly reduces the results of the Tang army.
But even Ashina Danai, who has a little bit of a brain, understands that the credit of this battle is not small, and the first battle to meet the enemy and win the first battle will severely reduce the enemy's morale, and at the same time, it will also double the courage of his own army.
This is one of the most important military feats of the generals, similar to the merit of taking the lead in the siege of the city.
Moreover, with 3,000 horsemen out of the customs and breaking the army of 50,000 in a battle, the benefits are definitely so little, and the bonus effect of reputation, Ashina Danai can be very satisfied as long as he thinks about it.
At this time, Zhang Shigui had already turned into a half-immortal, and everything he expected was successful, and the accuracy rate was amazing.
Soon Lu Chengye appeared in front of Zhang Shigui, and he would definitely not say anything good when he was full of complaints and red eyes.
Zhang Shigui sent him out to investigate the enemy's situation, and he turned around behind the enemy, and without receiving Zhang Shigui's follow-up military order, this person also made a claim, but his vision was simply miserable compared to Zhang Shigui.
He came back with his army without permission, and just after a circle, he cautiously walked to the enemy's flank, and the enemy army had already been greatly routed, and the rout soldiers who were fleeing had taken him aback.
Fortunately, the backbone of the Kansai people did not leave him, and he led the army to rush and kill, only to realize that the situation was wrong.
Well, this coming back to find fault is the proper meaning of the question, if it is to say hello to Zhang Shigui and the two, then it is not right to call it a script.
But Zhang Shigui took advantage of the power of the great victory, and with the help of Ashina Danai, who had great benefits, Lu Chengye suddenly became lonely among the 3,000 cavalry.
"General Lu has worked hard, it is better to take advantage of the sky to send the captives back, I discussed with General Ashina, and felt that the enemy army was already frightened, it is better to lead the army to Hongnong tomorrow morning to fight again, and capture Hongnong......"
Zhang Shigui is obviously talking nonsense again, without an army to rely on, what's the use of taking Hongnong? When Wang Shichong's army arrived, more than 2,000 cavalry wanted to hold Hongnong?
Well, Zhang Shigui can only think about such a miracle this time.
And after hearing this, Lu Chengye's anger can be imagined, but under the attention of Zhang Shigui and Ashina Danai, he can only swallow this mouthful of anger hard.
Between hatred and hatred, Lu Chengye reluctantly escorted people away, he actually understood that this battle was not easy, it was a battle that greatly increased the prestige of the Tang Army, Zhang Shigui and Ashina Danai made great contributions.
Once such military exploits are clearly reported to the crown prince, the generous prince will definitely reuse them in the next war.
However, then again, what good is this for him Lu Chengye......
Not surprisingly, selfishness immediately prevailed, the Lu family and Zhang Shigui already had a deep enmity, and now they have been left aside and suffered a lot of pickling, it is conceivable what Lu Chengye will do next.
He even felt that those two thieves were very stupid, and they didn't send their henchmen back to Tongguan to show their skills, but let him go first, damn, stupid people who only know how hard to kill, see how long you two bastards can be proud.
It didn't take much effort for him to think of a rhetoric, call his henchman over, and ask him to go back to Tongguan as soon as possible to report to His Royal Highness the Prince......
And here they camped on the spot, and Zhang Shigui and Ashina Danai, who began to bury the pot and make rice, sat in the camp tent and were also muttering.
Ashina Danai's doubts are the same as Lu Chengye, he feels that what Zhang Shigui did is a little inappropriate, Lu Chengye left with hatred, he will definitely not say anything good in front of the prince, maybe he will lose the credit of the two.
Zhang Shigui pretended to be a god enough, this will indeed become a bit of a god, in Ashina Danai's words with some complaints, he just said with a smile, "Brother Xian, do you think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will believe Lu Chengye or will I wait?" ”
Ashina Danai said almost without thinking, "When someone sings in my ear, I see its beauty, even if your name and surname are heard in the wind, my eyes are not on you......"
This is the Turkic people's alternative interpretation of the terrible slander, this time it is Zhang Shigui's turn to be a little embarrassed, people speak Turkic, Zhang Shigui, an "illiterate" who can't understand it.
Ashina Danai grinned, once again revealing his language talent, "Of course it's surnamed Lu, the two brothers of the Lu family are singing very happily in the ears of His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Zhang Shigui touched his short beard and kept up with the rhythm, "Then what's the use of you and me sending someone back?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a good name, and the virtuous brother might as well guess, when will His Royal Highness the Prince's military order come, and what will he say to you and me? ”
Speaking of these detailed work, Ashina Danai immediately fell silent, racking his brains and he didn't know what Zhang Shigui wanted to say.
Zhang Shigui enjoyed the superiority of IQ, and laughed: "I feel that before dawn, the prince's military order will come, as for what he said, it is not difficult to guess, in addition to Wen Yan and encouragement, you and I must be ordered to return to the army as soon as possible, and we must not go out of Hongnong." ”
At this moment, corn and pickles were served, and the two of them talked and talked, and ate very sweetly, no matter how much calculation they had in their hearts, this should undoubtedly be the moment for them to enjoy the joy of victory, and no one could deprive them of this power.
Unconsciously, Ashina Danai had a paste left in his head, he was too young, and he was born in a group like the Turks, compared with Zhang Shigui, who was in his thirties and had a lot of experience, he was immature like a child in every aspect.
This night, the two slept in the same tent, Ashina Danai just wanted to see, whether what Zhang Shigui said was right or not, Zhang Shigui was very sure, but he also had the idea of what happened, if the prince could get out of the customs with the whole army......
