Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The complicated affairs of cleaning up the battlefield made the soldiers very busy, and it seemed that two hours had passed in the blink of an eye. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) At this time, suddenly there was a lot of smoke and dust in the distance. Xue Tong hurriedly ordered all the departments to be on alert, and mobilized the remaining cavalry troops to meet them. It was only after a while that news came that it was 6 Yao and Liu Yao who led hundreds of Ding Miao's troops back in a roundabout way.
Although the slogan of capturing Wang Jun and Duan Ji's 6 relatives during the battle was actually nothing more than a rhetoric made to boost morale. In fact, 6 Haruka didn't really plan to catch the two of them. First, these two men and the knights who accompanied them were light horses and fast horses, turning like the wind, and they could fly dozens of miles in half an hour. Even if 6 Yao pursues them with all his might, he may not be able to keep up with them. Second, after all, the status of Wang Jun and Duan Ji's 6 dependents is extraordinary, if these two people are really arrested, how will the Luoyang Imperial Court react? How did the Youzhou army that stayed in Jicheng react? How will Duan Xianbei react? The impact on all of these aspects is difficult to predict. Grabbing the grassland on the dam was enough to make 6 Yao's Daijun army usher in a large-scale expansion again, and that was enough, 6 Yao had no intention of putting himself on the cusp of too fierce a storm.
Because of these two reasons, 6 Yao and Liu Yao quickly swept north with light horses that still had spare strength, just to rescue Ding Miao and others who were also attacked by the Xianbei people.
What Ding Miao's department encountered was the Qiluo Division, which was originally subordinate to Tuoba Xianbei, and there were also hundreds of elite cavalry led by Duan Wenyang. Ding Miao relied on Turinus's infantry to set up a fish-scale formation to defend it, and led his own iron cavalry to fight back and forth, fighting with an enemy twice as large as his own for two full hours.
Strictly speaking, it has only been two months since the formation of this unit, but Ding Miao has already imprinted his unique ruthlessness and tenacity in the hearts of every soldier. Each of them knows that Ding Miao is a general who will always rush to the front, and everyone is willing to be a soldier who is in front of the killing. When Ding Miao took the lead in fighting to the death, his subordinates also showed extraordinary tenacity. Regardless of the fierce attack of the Hu'er, until the soldiers were killed and wounded more than fifty percent, the morale of the Daijun army remained undiminished, and the fighting spirit was still strong.
This unexpectedly tenacious army made the ambitious Luo tribe have nothing to do, and Duan Wenyang, who has the courage of ten thousand people, is also helpless. They fought in the dense forests, fought on the grasslands, fought in the surging tide of the enemy like stormy waves, fought in the suffocating bloody wind, repelled Hu'er's offensive again and again, and held out until the brigade of Duan Xianbei broke the wolf Bèi and fled here, bringing terrible news that the Xianbei people were disgraced.
When the defeat of the Youzhou army was confirmed, the Qiluo tribe immediately gave up the attack, and even stopped the huge camp that held the water. After losing the support of the Luo Ministry, Duan Wenyang naturally had nothing to do. But the pride of being the first brave general in Youzhou still supported Duan Wenyang to continue to make two fierce assaults, and it was not until the Daijun cavalry roared with the dust that he retreated.
Ding Miao's troops paid a huge price and finally forced the enemy back. There are only more than 400 people who can return with the reinforcements of 6 Yao and Liu Yao. But each of these 400 people was personally encouraged and encouraged by 6 Yao, and they held their heads high and looked proud.
In fact, the losses of the troops of the headquarters commanded by 6 Yao were also terrifying. Even if there is a car formation to rely on, it is not easy to resist such a strong army as the Youzhou Army. According to Xue Tong's count, 672 infantry soldiers of the county army were killed in this battle, 529 cavalry were killed, and 335 were seriously wounded who were difficult to recover.
Such casualties would be the result of immediate collapse of any army in the interior of the Central Plains. However, the grassroots soldiers of the Daijun Army quickly recovered after the initial mourning, perhaps because the northerners were strong and born to die so lightly. On the other hand, due to the harsh living environment and low production level in northern Xinjiang, the average life expectancy of the Hu tribe and Dingkou in all tribes was only forty.
Around noon, 6 Yao inspected the battlefield and immediately urged the soldiers to collect and dispose of the dead on both sides. For thousands of years, they have disposed of the dead at will, and naturally there will be coyotes and wild dogs roaming around to eat the corpses. However, 6 Yao has always adhered to the idea of entering the soil for peace out of the habits of the farming people for thousands of years. In this way, there is a lot more work that needs to be done. He Yun was responsible for recording the lives of the war dead in order to include them in the sacrifice when they returned to Daijun. And Chu Kun organized a team of prisoners of the Youzhou army, and chose the sunny and dry high slope to dig dozens of huge tombs at the same time. After the fierce battle, the captives were exhausted, and their feelings were even more low, and although the soldiers of the Daijun army punched and kicked the supervision, it was difficult to stimulate their efficiency. When the soldiers of the Daijun Army were finally buried solemnly, it was almost dusk. In this case, the corpses of the Xianbei people should be disposed of according to their tribal customs, and some meat should be left for the herd.
When night finally fell, the whole army fell into the deepest sleep. 6 Yao was also extremely tired, since the fierce battle in the early morning, he had repeatedly braved the arrows and stones to clash with the enemy's formation, killing no less than dozens of Xianbei warriors and Qu Shuai, although he was lucky not to suffer any serious injuries, but his body was completely exhausted; At the same time, as the commander-in-chief of the whole army, he had to plan the overall situation of using troops and commanding under mental pressure that ordinary people could not imagine, which was also extremely draining. He insisted on completing the summary of the battle reports of various departments, and arranged many vigilance matters for tonight's camp, before falling asleep.
In fact, such a cautious attitude of his is almost superfluous. The herdsmen on the grassland came and went, and the degree of transmission of the message was far away to the Central Plains, and it took less than half a day's effort, and the tragic situation of the defeat of Duan Xianbei was almost known to everyone in the grassland of Bashang.
After decades of countless fierce battles, Duanbu Xianbei gradually established a strong position as one of the three major Xianbei clans in the east. Although the sphere of influence is biased towards the eastern part of Youzhou, the official section of western Liaoxi is not so threatening that even Tuoba Xianbei Dashan Yu Luguan does not dare to ignore it.
After Tuoba Xianbei fell into civil strife, Duan Bu was immediately regarded by many tribes as having the strength to divide up huge interests and enter the grassland
However, in this battle, the Duan Department dispatched the core forces including armored cavalry, and with the help of the power of Wang Jun of Youzhou, and then joined forces with the Luo Department to set up an ambush, intending to annihilate the Dai County Army with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai. But in the end, Duan was killed, Duan Ji and Wang Jun left for their lives, and there was not a single one of the thousands of troops left in his subordinates...... For the steppe peoples, who believe in the respect of the strong, this great war is enough. While the soldiers of the contemporary county army were resting, many tribal leaders were busy counting the tribal assets, reorganizing the young and strong troops, and preparing to go out early tomorrow morning to swear allegiance to the 6 generals. The grassland on the dam has undoubtedly ushered in its new master, unless it is a madman who thinks that his life is long, who dares to come to the tiger whiskers of the army again?
