Chapter 1401: The Power of Great Departure
Three poles on the sun.
Last night's night moon was relatively incomplete, but today's scorching sun is quite hot and dazzling.
It's a pity that no matter how hot the sun is, it can't drive away the blood and death.
On the banks of the Huashan Mountains, on the wide official roads, and in the vast wilderness, the corpses are continuous, stretching for dozens of miles, like a bloody picture.
Because of the relationship between the environment and the situation, the Lijun did not completely pursue and kill, but only defeated most of the Ma Jiajun, and pursued more than ten miles away, about an hour or two, they began to withdraw the army, assemble, clean up the battlefield, and collect the spoils of war!
This time, the Ma Jiajun and other Qiang troops marched eastward all the way, burning, killing and looting countless times. However, because of the surrender of Li Yu, Guo Yan and others, they did not loot large and above cities, but only some small-scale assembly places such as villages and tribes, and there were not many booty.
Coupled with the existence of the "treasure of storage", the army rushed to kill hundreds of thousands of Ma Jiajun, but they did not get any valuables, mainly military supplies such as grain and grass materials, and finally the storage bags and storage rings of the corpses of the strong men of the Ma Jiajun, etc., there were no unexpected surprises worthy of Wu Xin's attention.
However, the biggest, biggest, and biggest spoils of the departure are......
Steed!
Warhorse!
The surprise attack in the dark night of the departing army caught the Ma Jiajun off guard, and with the assistance of the powerful and elite "Wind and Cloud Technique", it greatly affected the operation of the war cavalry.
The millions of Ma Jiajun, six or seven percent of them were cavalry, the whole army was killed by about one-third, scattered about three-fifths, and finally tens of thousands of troops fled with Ma Teng, which can be said to be one out of ten, but left behind the war horses all over the mountains, the number reached a terrifying about 500,000, basically war horses.
In these troubled times, these war horses alone are of immeasurable value.
The Great Imperial Dynasty has developed for many years, consuming endless wealth and resources, and today's war horses, all combined, are only more than 500,000, which is about the same as the number of cavalry of the original Ma Family Army, and now it has directly doubled.
Murder and arson gold belts, pave bridges and build roads without corpses!
Wise sayings!
Perhaps, this is war money!
Looking at the war horses that were gathered all over the mountains, calm as Wu Xin, Dugu Jialuo and others, they couldn't help but have their eyes glowing and their breathing shortened!
With this batch of war horses, the Dali Dynasty was finally able to form a cavalry army with considerable combat power and deterrence.
Although purely in terms of cavalry combat power, whether it is the Great Li Dynasty or the Great Wei Empire and other forces, they are not the opponents of the wasteland alien races that grow on the back of the horse. However, at least it can close the gap and make up for the serious lack of mobility!
One final note......
The Ma family army suffered three or four hundred thousand casualties, and then five or six hundred thousand, and then lost these war horses, basically in name only, at least the prestige was greatly reduced, maybe it would be swallowed up by Han Sui or Bian Zhang!
"Let's go...... Triumphant return...... Get back...... There are heavy rewards, all of which are credited!"
As the war horses gathered, a dense and large area, as far as the eye could see, Wu Xin was full of pride, and he was so excited that he raised his arms and shouted in a gaffe.
"My emperor is invincible!
Countless departing soldiers shouted excitedly, this is a real benefit.
The exploits of the Great Departure Dynasty are a little different from those of other forces, and they can be exchanged for almost anything, including all kinds of secret arts, divine power books, and other things that various forces have swept away and cherished.
More than 70,000 people, or nearly 10,000 wounded, to drive these 500,000 or so war horses back, it is really not an easy task, if you run into the enemy, then you will be very happy and sad!
In addition, there were nearly 100,000 wounded soldiers of the Ma family army who were wailing everywhere, and after repeated measurements, Huang Wuxin still decided to bring them back to Tongguan, which added to the burden of the march.
More than an hour later, the sun rose......
More than 70,000 left the army, nearly 10,000 wounded, nearly 100,000 wounded Ma Jiajun, 500,000 war horses, only walked more than 100 miles, which is this cavalry?
It's the infantry army, and it's not just this speed!
"Report ......"
While on the march, the scouts reported:
Han Sui bypassed our army and was returning to the west, when the three armies of Bian Zhang, Li Yu, and Guo Yan in the rear also stopped and set up camp on the spot!
"Huh?!"
Not only Wu Xin, Dugu Jialuo and others, but also the three brothers of Ma Chao, who were slightly injured and depressed, were also stunned, thinking that they were hallucinating!
"Probe!"
Dugu Jialuo reacted quickly, commanded the scout, and looked at Wu Xin with bright eyes:
"Childe...... It's not as good as our army......"
Before the words were finished, the eager eyes, faces, etc., had already explained everything.
Obviously, Han Sui, Bian Zhang and other Qiang troops heard about the Ma Jiajun's incident...... I'm scared!
Originally, Wu Xin and the others were afraid that they would be beaten back by Han Suijun's army, but now that they have left the army, they really can't fight, so many wounded and war horses, how can they fight?
Who knows, Han Suijun not only didn't want to return to the army for revenge, but even took the initiative to bypass it, and was withdrawing the army instead of continuing to advance eastward!
I have to admit that the people who left the emperor, including the emperor, underestimated the power of the great departure, especially the deterrence of the emperor's personal conquest.
Of course, I also underestimated the huge impact caused by the crippled Ma Jiajun in one fell swoop!
It can be said that since the invasion of the alien race in the wasteland, it has been almost invincible, conquering everything, sweeping the northern Xinjiang, northwest, west and other places with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and even the capital of the Great Wei Empire, Yuan Shaofang and several major cities of the Great Shu Dynasty have also been strongly captured.
For the first time, the Great Departure Dynasty fought fiercely with the alien races in the wasteland, and defeated the Qiang tribe ten times their own number in one fell swoop.
It can be called a great victory to save the world, and it is very inspiring!
In the eyes of Wu Xin and others, dispatching the most elite Praetorian Guards of the Dali Dynasty, plus the veterans of a hundred battles, Zhang Jijun and the elite of Shenwei, plus the sneak attack in the dark night, the condensation raid, with one enemy and ten really has nothing to show off, it is strange to lose!
Even with one enemy and one hundred, Wu Xin dared to lead Xin Wuwei to rush into battle......
However, other people, people from all over the world, etc., don't think so!
Ma Jiajun, a family of five masters, and the head of the five northwest princes, is famous, and before he put his hands and feet into the territory of the Great Departure Dynasty, he was chopped up, it is scary to think about it, and it is completely normal for Han Suijun to be scared away!
It is common sense to say that since the Emperor Wuxin is in person, since he can cripple the strongest Ma Jiajun in one fell swoop, it is even more natural to cripple Han Sui's army, and it is even a piece of cake, don't you run and wait for death? !
Han Sui's choice is completely fine!
"With the current number of our army, it is difficult to meet the battle, it would be good to reach Tongguan smoothly, how to pursue?"
Wu Xin was quite moved, but he spread his hands and answered.
"Before leaving, we sent a message to King Wucheng, as long as we stay in place for two or three hours, I believe that King Wucheng's reinforcements will arrive, and it won't have much impact, right?"
Dugu Jialuo quickly responded with an idea, paused, and added:
"Han Sui's army bypassed, then the front of our army is basically unhindered, the war horse can be lost again, and the fighter plane in front of you will not come again! When the Qiang army arrives, our army will only have the power to parry......
Speaking of this, Dugu Jialuo paused, looked around, and said in a cold voice: "As for those wounded......
The three brothers of Ma Chao, who were dejected, looked at Dugu Jialuo's beautiful and dignified face in surprise and anger, and their backs were cold......
