Chapter 0314: Brilliant Victory
After the Han army saw the last group of Xianbei cavalry disappear into the darkness, they couldn't help but cheer in unison.
"Dahan...... Dahan ......"
"Victory...... Winning ......"
The night passed quietly.
Li Yi sat on a small rejection horse in the rejection array, silent. He looked at the soldiers who were busy coming in and out, smelling the strong smell of blood and charcoal in the air, and listening to the cheers and shouts of the soldiers one after another, and his heart was extremely heavy.
Although this battle was temporarily won, he was no longer able to launch an attack on Juzhu Mountain. If the Xianbei people stick to Juzhu Mountain, then the battle in Bingzhou will continue. How long can the treasury of the Great Han Kingdom last?
Putou has probably fled back, and he will continue to lead his army south in anger and shame? If Putou gives up attacking Jinyang, the Xianbei people will gather 200,000 troops to invade the south this time, and they will get nothing, will the leaders of the Xianbei tribes agree to Putou to withdraw their troops?
In the two battles, the Xianbei people completely annihilated 120,000 iron cavalry, plus the enemy troops destroyed in the area of the Outer Great Wall and the Juzhu Mountain, the Xianbei people lost at least nearly 160,000 people, and their remaining 30,000 or 40,000 people could no longer form a huge lethality, would they quickly withdraw their troops because of this?
The 25,000 Youzhou Army infantry soldiers who arrived in Yanmen County fought fiercely and only had more than 10,000 people left. The blocking battle of Yuanpingcheng also caused the Jizhou army and Shangdang soldiers who had just arrived in Bingzhou to lose more than half. How many of the 55,000 infantry troops will be able to continue fighting? I think it's only about 20,000 people at most.
The 28,000 cavalry and the 5,000 iron cavalry of the Changshui Battalion of the Northern Army were the main forces that defeated the Xianbei people this time, although both were surprise attacks, but the enemy's strength was too strong, and more than 10,000 people were killed in the fierce battle, which made Li Yi very sad. Together with the cavalry killed in the battles around the Outer Great Wall and Juzhu Mountain, the entire cavalry army was also reduced by more than 15,000 people.
Half of the 90,000 army was left in the blink of an eye, and after the big victory, there were only half of them left, Li Yi was really a little difficult to accept.
After listening to Xiao Zuo's report. Sitting on the rejection horse in a daze, his soul was sad. He was reluctant to even bury his subordinates, to take one last look at his beloved brother. He sat there until the sun was slowly rising.
Xu Maogong dragged his tired body and slowly walked to Li Yi's side.
"Lord, are you alright?" Xu Maogong patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "I have already sent someone to Luoyang to report the documents." ”
……………………
Zhang Fei brought Bian Xi to Li Yi.
Hearing the name of the soldier in front of him, Li Yi was stunned for a moment. This is a character who appeared in the plot of "passing five levels and cutting six generals" in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and was hacked to death by Guan Yu. It was too unexpected to throw himself under his command and make a lot of contributions. It seems that the impact of his arrival on this era is all-round.
Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Li Yi said to Bian Xi kindly: "Then you are a veteran, longer than I have been in the army, no wonder you have so much experience in war." ”
Bian Xi smiled bitterly: "It's all for myself to survive, and I can't talk about any experience." The lord is too complimentary. If it weren't for General Tian this time, I would have died. ”
Tian Yu smiled: "If you die, I won't lose a brother." ”
"Yes, if you're dead. We've also lost one military smath. Zhang Fei patted him affectionately on the shoulder and said, "If it weren't for the rejection of the horse formation, we would not have lasted more than half the night." Nor can they completely annihilate the army of the Ritsuri. There are such great results in this battle, and you have contributed to it. ”
General Zhang said with a smile, he can defeat the Xianbei people. It's all up to the master's tricks, and the villain really doesn't have much credit. Bian Xi bowed down and said, "The villain just wants the lord to enter Juzhu Mountain as soon as possible." ”
Li Yi smiled appreciatively and said: "The army has fought viciously and suffered heavy losses, I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter Juzhu Mountain in the past few days." ”
Bian Xi's face darkened, and he was speechless for a while.
"When we evacuated Juzhu Mountain, the remains of tens of thousands of brothers were left in the woods on the side of the road, and their heads were probably cut off by the Xianbei people to make trophies." Bian Xi whispered sadly, "They are our brothers, heroes who died on the battlefield, we should have buried them, we shouldn't have let them be in the wilderness." ”
Li Yi's heart trembled, he glanced at the clear blue sky with a sad expression, and let out a long sigh.
………………
More than a dozen soldiers fled back from the battlefield of Yuanpingcheng one after another, and they explained in detail the course of the battle of Yuanpingcheng, but they did not know the whereabouts of the king Putou.
Bald Pi Lonely was very anxious.
"The scout replied that he only heard that the king of the Jiuyuan Banner, Du Gaiting, and the handsome Yu Lu and He Gequan had been killed in battle." "We don't have news of the king's death or his capture now, so what should we do?" Will you continue to withdraw or will you wait here? ”
"Can't wait here." The ashen Ri deduced that he said weakly, "This is on the bank of the Hutuo River, there is no danger to defend, if the leopard Li Yi leads the army to kill, we will also lose the men and horses." We can't afford to lose. ”
"What about the king?" "We can't withdraw Juzhu Mountain like this, what if he's still on the way to escape?" ”
"If he had escaped from Harahei Castle, he would have found us a long time ago." Ri Deduction shook his head and said, "This place is only more than eighty miles away from Yuanping City, and it can't be that it hasn't arrived yet." I see that he has escaped from Yuanping Castle, just in front of us, on the way to Huiju Mountain. ”
The crowd looked at him in amazement.
"If Li Yi had killed the king or captured the king alive, the news would have been flying all over the sky a long time ago, would he still hide such a big event? This news is more effective than the arrival of another 50,000 reinforcements, which can not only boost the morale of the soldiers, but also deal a heavy blow to us. He glanced at everyone and said with a wry smile, "The soldiers who fled back said that after Hu Di Yu Yu fled to Changliang Mountain with dozens of men and horses, he did not run wildly, but kept turning back to block them, is he an idiot?" In that case, he was still entangled with the Han army. He was the king's henchman, and he must have done this to cover the king's retreat. ”
"The old law is reasonable." Yan Liyou nodded again and again and asked, "Then why didn't the king rush to Guangwu City directly?" Why did Lao Luri say that he had gone to Juzhu Mountain? ”
Ritsuri looked at the bald man coldly and didn't speak.
Zhi Luo Luo and Yan Liyou glanced at each other, and their expressions seemed to agree with Ritsuri's guess.
"Withdraw." The bald man said, "Withdraw the sentence note mountain." ”
………………
"The king is suspicious by nature, he doesn't believe in our Xianbei people in the west, and he doesn't believe in you and the marshal of Luo Luo and the marshal of Yan Liyou, this is normal." Pi Lou Ji followed behind the Ri Ri deduction and whispered, "The 30,000 troops of Danhan Mountain have all been wiped out, and the king has no strength in his hands, so he naturally has to guard against us." But the bald Pi Gu is his henchman? Why didn't the king come to the army of the bald man? ”
"The king is wrong, in fact, Yan Liyou and I don't want to kill him, even if we don't want to kill him, we also want to use the king to suppress the northern Xianbei and bald Pigu." Ritsuri pondered for a moment and said, "The one who really wants to kill him is the bald Pi Gu." ”
Pi Lou Kei was shocked.
"In recent years, the Tuoba tribe has become stronger and stronger, and they have frequently invaded the Han Kingdom, not only occupying a large area of rich grasslands, but also plundering a large amount of wealth. After the Tuoba tribe had these lands and wealth, their power increased day by day, and now the Tuoba tribe has become the largest tribe in the Xianbei country. ”
"Look at the northern Xianbei, which tribe can compete with the Tuoba tribe?" Ri deduced and sighed, "The northern Xianbei has become the private property of the Tuoba tribe, this Xianbei lord is not worth bullshit in the eyes of the bald Pigu, he has greater ambitions, he wants to dominate the grassland, he wants to be a ......"
Ritsu suddenly closed his mouth.
"The King?" Pi Louji exclaimed in a low voice, "He wants to be the king of the Xianbei Kingdom? ”
"Do you still want to go back to the tribe?" Ri deduced and scolded angrily, "This time I fell for the bald hair and lost 30,000 people in vain, do you still want to lose our heads?" ”
Pi Louji was startled, and approached Ri Ri to deduce and asked, "Can the king escape back to Danhan Mountain?" ”
"Hmph......" Ri Ri sneered, "With me and Zhi Luoluo and Yan Liyou, I don't believe that the king can't return to Danhan Mountain." As long as the king returns to Danhan Mountain and has men and horses in his hands, I see him bald and lonely dreaming. ”
Pi Lou Ji whispered: "In case ......"
Ri Ri sneered: "No case, there is still Master Budugen, he is much stronger than the straw bag of Putou, he is the most ideal candidate for the Xianbei King." ”
………………
"How sure do you think Ritsuri's guess is?" Bald Pigu looked at the Iron Knight Soldier who was speeding all the way, and suddenly turned around and asked.
"My lord, it doesn't matter anymore." Tuoba Hui looked around and whispered, "Now that our goal has been achieved, it doesn't matter whether the king is dead or alive. Now, even if the king is really dead and returns to Danhan Mountain in the future, we can say that it is reasonable. We stayed near the mouth of the valley of Guangwu City for a day and a night, and sent more than 1,000 people to search along the road, and we did our best. They have all seen it, and he can prove it for us. We just used the day to deduce their words and withdraw our troops. ”
The bald man frowned, thought for a long time, and the melancholy on his face became more and more intense.
Tuoba Hui asked suspiciously, "What are you worried about?" ”
Bald Pigu looked at the rolling mountains and said slowly, "I'm worried about Budugen, I suspect he has guessed what I'm going to do." This kid is much better than his brother, and he's our real opponent. ”
Tuoba Hui's expression tightened, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he said sharply: "Even if he guesses, what? He couldn't have known that Li Yi had defeated us so quickly, and he might still be speculating about how we could kill Putou and how we could deal with the 30,000 army of Danhan Mountain. ”
"But he can get ahead of us and take control of Danhan Mountain." Bald Pi Gu said worriedly. (To be continued.) )
