Chapter 252 Regrouped

The Silla army was defeated like a mountain in the snowy night, and the mood was colder than the bitter cold weather on all sides.

After Ye Qinghu and Chang Fengchun led the troops to fight together, Li Minfeng was beheaded by Ye Qinghu with a knife, and the head was still in front of the Silla army that fled in embarrassment.

From the start of the battle to the hasty withdrawal of the Silla army, the fierce infantry suffered heavy casualties under the fierce pursuit of the multiplier cavalry.

Ye Qinghu, often in spring, Xiao Chen led the army to pursue Baili, and at dawn, he Mingjin withdrew his troops and took the initiative to end the battle.

Led the army back to the city, and the armies celebrated.

In the first battle of the Northern Expedition of the Flying Cavalry Army, with the numerical superiority, Li Xuanqi, Fan Hengwen, Xiao Yun deployed in a row, and the concerted efforts of the generals still reversed the dangerous situation and won a complete victory.

made the first battle of the Northern Expedition of the Flying Cavalry Army, severely dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Khitan and Silla, and played the honor of the Tang Army.

It also enhances the experience of killing enemies on the battlefield of the Flying Cavalry Army and improves the momentum of the whole army.

I have more confidence in guarding Youzhou City in the future.

Some people are happy and some are sad, compared with the Tang army immersed in joy, the Khitan and Silla were defeated, and the 50,000 forward army suffered more than half of the casualties.

The situation of the coalition army, which was sharp in the early stage, became bad, and in addition, there were too many casualties, which seriously hit the momentum of the coalition army.

In the snow, 50,000 troops were sent to attack the Tang army all night and seize Youzhou, but the coalition army was defeated.

The next day, the coalition army survived bravely, escaped from death, braved the severe cold, stepped on the snow, and traveled under the stars and nights, and finally arrived in Jizhou and Pingzhou.

It is a pity that the total number of returned coalition troops does not exceed 20,000.

A large number of wounded soldiers were brave, either due to the delay in medical treatment, they were seriously injured, lost too much blood, and died tragically on the way back. Either due to the wind and snow, he froze to death on the way.

When he returned to the army and arrived in Jizhou, he seemed to be a fleeing homeless, ragged, covered in blood, and his blades had long been lost.

In the city of Jizhou, King Zuo Xian learned of the defeat of the coalition army, and during the battle, the leading generals, Amusu and Li Minfeng died in Youzhou.

Many Khitan cavalry and Silla infantry died tragically on the battlefield.

King Zuo Xian was taken aback and his thoughts were depressed.

According to the deployment of him and Park Yuanmu before the battle, at the beginning, they were full of confidence that the surprise attack on a snowy night could not be prevented, and the worst case scenario was the failure of the coalition army to capture the city.

Never lose their armor and return defeated, and the Khitan and Silla led troops to die on the battlefield.

It's a pity that King Zuo Xian seems to ignore that the situation on the battlefield is changing and unpredictable, and any small change may cause a huge storm.

The Tang army actively prepared for war, took the initiative to defend, and set up a series of traps, waiting for the coalition forces to obediently get into the trap, so that King Zuo Xian gradually looked at the Youzhou guards.

In the mouth of the returning Khitan cavalry, understanding the cause and effect of the incident, King Zuo Xian was silent for a while, and hurriedly sent his cronies to invite Pu Yuanmu to discuss countermeasures.

The defeat of the coalition forces, which they did not expect, changed the situation of the Khitan and Silla dramatically, and they had to take countermeasures.

In addition, Park Yuanmu wavered in the conquest of the Tang Dynasty, and now, the coalition army has returned with a heavy defeat, and the Silla army has suffered heavier casualties, so he must stabilize Park Yuanmu.

Beware of Park Yuanmu being shaken by the defeat of the army, he was afraid of the Tang army, and led the army to evacuate on his own initiative.

Soon after, his cronies invited Park Won-mu to the antechamber.

It's not so much that Park Won-mu was invited, it's better to say that he came uninvited.

At this moment, Park Yuanmu also learned the news of the defeat of the coalition forces and heavy casualties.

Without the invitation of King Zuoxian, he took the initiative to go to the palace and discuss with King Zuoxian.

Park Yuanmu walked in a hurry, his face was dark and blue, his face was straight, he walked into the front hall, glanced at King Zuo Xian who was wandering back and forth in the hall in front of him, walked in angrily, and sat on the chair.

Without hesitation, he asked in a cold voice: "King Zuo Xian, the coalition army has suffered a fiasco, which is diametrically opposed to the promise made by King Xian in front of him, what is King Xian's plan in the future?" ”

Park Wonmu didn't expect that in his plan, he should easily capture Youzhou, and the Silla army would not cost much.

Now, not only did he not capture Youzhou, but on the contrary, he was severely damaged by the Tang army.

More than 20,000 allied troops returned to Jizhou safely, and the Silla army was less than 7,000 people, which means that nearly 20,000 Silla troops died in Youzhou City, or died tragically on the way back.

This is still just fighting with the new recruits of the Tang Army, with the arrival of the follow-up army of the Tang Army, there are more and more garrisons in Youzhou, if they encounter the most powerful Zuo Wuwei in the Tang Army, won't the Silla Army become a lamb to be slaughtered in the hands of the Tang Army?

When King Zuoxian heard this, his expression was bitter, and he knew that Park Wonmu was looking forward to doing things and attached importance to the interests of Silla.

However, the coalition army was defeated, and the Silla army could never evacuate, and once the Khitan cavalry withdrew, it would be completely exposed to the Tang army's attack range, and at that time, it would be more difficult for the Khitan cavalry to face the large number of Tang troops alone.

Not to mention the seizure of Youzhou, there are troubles in the safe withdrawal of the Khitan.

Therefore, no matter what method is taken, King Zuoxian will leave Park Yuanmu behind.

King Zuo Xian comforted: "General Park, there is no need to be angry, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers." In this battle, the Tang army's methods were despicable, beyond your expectations, and the Tang army reluctantly defeated the coalition army by virtue of its numerical superiority. ”

"Barely victorious, King Zuoxian, do you know the casualties?

The Silla army lost 18,000 casualties, attacked the Youzhou army, and most of them died tragically at the hands of the Tang army.

King Zuoxian, who claimed to be a powerful Khitan cavalry, also killed 15,000 people.

Such a large-scale battle loss, which was called by King Xian, was called a reluctant victory of the Tang army, and the general dared to ask, the coalition army was heavily damaged, and what were the casualties? Park Yuanmu said angrily, very dissatisfied with King Zuoxian's contempt for Tang Jun.

Without waiting for King Zuo Xian to speak, Park Yuanmu asked: "The main force of the Tang Army, a steady stream of people from Chang'an, you and I led the rebel army Jizhou, Pingzhou, but there were no reinforcements, plus the cold winter is coming, the grain and grass are getting less and less, and the coalition army is newly defeated, so that the coalition army is becoming more and more unfavorable, has King Xian ever thought of a solution?" ”

"General Park, complaining about the sky and people can't solve the problem, if you and I want to divide the interests in Datang, we must be patient." King Zuo Xian noticed that Park Yuanmu spoke sharply and had the idea of withdrawing the army, so he couldn't help but be appeased.

When he was silent, he reminded: "What General Park said is true, however, the coalition army is not without advantages, has General Park ever thought that Yang Yue led a heavy army to sit in Youzhou, we are afraid, and Hedong Jiedu makes Han Xifan even more jealous."

Today, the coalition forces are newly defeated and their morale is low, you and I are temporarily in control, and we will fight again in the coming year, and unite the situation in the northeast, you and I have not yet reached the point of exhaustion. ”

"What does King Xian mean?" When Park Yuanmu heard the voice, he vaguely guessed King Zuoxian's intentions.

"The enemy of the enemy is a friend, the Tang Dynasty will inevitably eliminate the Jiedu envoys, and all parties are also actively preparing for war, so this king proposes to unite Han Xifan and unite the Jiedu envoys from all over the Northeast to flank the Tang army.

In this way, the strength of the coalition army can be expanded, and the coalition army can be in an undefeated position. Zuo Xianwang explained his intentions, felt that Park Yuanmu listened patiently, and said: "Victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, General Park, there is no need to follow Geng, regroup, and not be defeated?" ”
