Chapter 561: Concerns

A devastating battle, an epic victory!

Allowing the cavalry to pursue, Tian Xin went down the mountain to the battlefield to collect information...... Defeated so quickly, Zhang Hu definitely didn't have time to destroy the military book.

Instead of maintaining an arrogant posture and staying in Hushan, it is better to go to the battlefield to search for military information and analyze the actions of the Wei army as early as possible.

He rode Mondo to the battlefield, where the middle-ranking military officials had already begun to collect the lost military documents of the Wei army, or began to interrogate the captured military officials and sort out confessions and military information.

Wang Xiong also led the Lantian defenders down the mountain, cleaned up the battlefield together, and cooperated with Beifu to treat the wounded of the two armies.

As far as the reception and treatment of prisoners and wounded soldiers is concerned, the Han army and the Beifu soldiers are professional, and the Wei army and the Wu army have high praise and evaluation for this.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the order of the battlefield became calmer, except for the cavalry who were still chasing Zhang Hu to expand the results, the rest of the infantry had escorted the captured prisoners and gradually returned.

They are all tired soldiers, unable to run, and there is a lack of meaning to escape in the deep mountains and old forests, and escaping is not conducive to survival.

Therefore, the pursuit of deserters is relatively efficient, unlike the decisive battle on the plains...... Without cavalry, it is difficult to expand the gains of the battle.

Many of Tian Xin's attendants also scattered everywhere to collect military information that they saw as meaningful.

The first thing that was placed in front of Tian Xin was a set of blood-stained harnesses, which had been ripped from the nearest dead horse.

There are relatively high, stable saddles, as well as a pair of iron stirrups...... Could it be that there is a traitor in Beifu? Leaked the confidential military information of the double stirrups?

It's not right, the Wei army's saddle is crudely made, it doesn't look like it was made in the army, how can there be a reason to sell the secret of the double stirrups and keep half of the saddle secret?

I couldn't figure it out for a while, but it was obvious that the knights of the Wei army had been reborn, and the Wei army would have a large number of skilled knights.

Relying on new harnesses, these Wei knights could be transformed into shock cavalry, melee combat cavalry, and archers.

The archers are of little use, and it cannot be said that they are useless, but they are still very sharp against the militia and light infantry; It's just that against the disciplined and skillfully coordinated heavy troops, the archers become tickles.

Tian Xin discarded the stirrup in his hand and thought about the possible next tactics of the Wei army...... Wu Zhen may have fled back to Hebei with his troops, and strategically speaking, Wei had already won, and successfully provoked his relationship with the little emperor, and both sides had no way out.

Now that Wu Zhen has brought the remaining fresh troops back to Hebei, Cao Pi will not treat him badly.

But Wu Zhen is the god of war of the Great Wei, and if he retreats in such a hurry, I am afraid that his reputation will be completely ruined.

It's not right, if Wu Zhen is really the god of war of Great Wei, he should decisively evacuate with his troops at this moment; If he is unwilling and wants to use the remaining new force to gamble with himself on a chance, it means that this person has not overcome his selfish desires, he is not a god of war, and he has a vain reputation.

No matter how Wu Zhen chooses strategically, his own side must advance quickly, no matter whether Wu Zhen is running or fighting, just press and fight.

It's just that the innovation of the Wei army's military equipment will inevitably bring about tactical innovation.

First of all, we can exclude the cavalry as a deceitful thing, the cavalry short bow has a far worse range than the infantry longbow, and the accuracy and rate of fire are not as good.

Therefore, when archers and foot archers shoot at each other, the first to finish must be the archers; The lethality of the infantry archers against the heavily armored troops is limited, so the lethality of the riding bow can be imagined.

The allied infantry archer is close to the face to shoot, which can effectively seriously injure the armor; And what can the archers do?

The archery tactics can be ignored, but the Wei army's shock cavalry and hand-to-hand cavalry must not be ignored.

With a decision in his heart, Tian Xin went to look at the Wei army's military books collected by others, and Deng Ai found Wu Ban's marching diary, which was half a box of bamboo slips.

It cannot be regarded as a diary, and every middle and high-ranking military officer has the habit of recording his experience and summing up lessons and lessons in this kind of essay, which can not only improve his military quality, but also precipitate it into family experience.

There will be a goalkeeper, and so will the Guy.

Tian Xin flipped through Wu Ban's diary...... Essay experience, after reading a few volumes, I felt bored, and returned it to Deng Ai: "This person knew today, why did he bother in the first place?" What's the point of regret now? The containment is neat, and if they are captured, they will be sent to Jiangdu together. If he dies in battle, he will send the ashes to the queen mother, which is also considered an explanation to the imperial court. ”

"Whoa."

Deng Ai contained the bamboo slips, carried the bamboo slips to the side, found a stone to sit down, and flipped through them alone.

Jiang Liang also quickly retreated from the pursuit sequence, and the road north of Lantian Pass was also uphill, and the chasing knights could concentrate their horses, and one person, two horses, and three horses to chase Zhang Hu...... And the knights of Zhang Hu's subordinates who escaped are willing to hand over their horses for nothing, and then be captured or killed?

When a cavalryman is captured without a horse, this is a very insincere thing, and it is in vain to be beaten by an angry pursuer.

It is a very positive thing to pursue and completely annihilate the cavalry of Zhang Hu's department, and the last thing is to seize the Blue Bridge...... In addition to the bridge, there is also a plank road.

If the plank road is damaged, it will be delayed for a long time.

After crossing the Blue Bridge, it is Qipanling, and then there is the vast Luyuan Flat.

Now Guanzhong has not experienced terrible soil erosion, so north of Qipanling, is a vast flat land, a whole piece of land...... It's just that the gully formed by the muddy water and the Bashui is divided into several plots.

The most indispensable thing in the pass is the forest, and the construction of pontoon bridges and barracks can be made of local materials.

Jiang Liang came back, tired, and took off his armor first, and then came to see Tian Xin with two heads, one was Zhang Xiong's, and his forehead was slightly deformed; One was Wu Ban's, with a hideous smile on the corner of his mouth, and his exposed teeth were stained black and red with blood.

Tian Xin just glanced at it and waved his hand, no matter how many people were killed, he didn't like to look at Gu Lingling's head.

Probably the most primitive thing hurts its kind, and the idea is that people should be completely corpses, born and departed.

The head was taken away for cleaning and inspection, and Jiang Liang first washed the sweat stains and blood stains on his face before accepting Tian Xin's questioning.

At this time, Wang Xiong approached with the main surrendering military officials and stood on the edge.

In the innermost, a curtain is being built to shelter from the wind, and too many military affairs need a relatively closed environment to deal with, and the curtain can effectively isolate visual interference.

Wang Xiong could vaguely hear Tian Xin's inquiring voice: "I saw that the right flank of Wu Ban was in turmoil, and the knights of the two battalions of Qing broke through smoothly, while Zhang Xiong's formation was unstable and close at hand, why did Ming Jin gather the knights?" ”

Jiang Liang recalled the mentality and situation at that time, and his tone was considerate: "Publicly, our army is equipped with new horse harnesses, and the ministers are afraid of falling into the hands of the enemy, and they are known to the enemy country. Now it seems that the enemy country also has talented and outstanding people, and the ministers are too worried. Ministers don't dare to be greedy for a while to harm long-term benefits. ”

"Well, you're thoughtful. This thing is done well, if Wu Zhen learns about this, he will inevitably flee away, I can't catch up, this Wu thief will become a confidant. ”

Tian Xin praised and instructed Jiang Liang to go down to rest, and the follow-up military performance test and statistics had nothing to do with Jiang Liang.

There is no need to award military merits immediately, after a period of time, it will gradually fade, and if you award it again, you can grasp the size and measure the details, and the meritorious person can also be calm.

This is different from the Xiangfan Battle of that year, it was a battle of life, and the rapid reward on the battlefield was the most effective means to motivate middle and lower-level military officials.

You don't have to think about it to know that if Wu Zhen retreats with the army, Luoyang will have no danger to defend, and Wu Zhen's best place to settle is Pingyang, Taiyuan, and Hedong, and form a partner with his old opponent Zhao Yan to build a defense line in Hedong and fight against himself for a long time.

In the short term, Wu Zhen has the advantage of cavalry, and the maneuver is high when he comes and goes, so it is difficult to hurt him, so it will be difficult to entangle.

Now if Wu Zhen doesn't run away, bite and beat him hard, even if he escapes back to Hedong, he can be honest for a while and be a good neighbor.
