King Charles I of Rus had planned everything at the beginning of the year and gave preferential treatment to the Jiuhu people, a new force that joined the kingdom.
First, they exchanged land, then gave them weapons and equipment, and later bought 50,000 Shiwei people as slaves. After many times, the Jiuhu people went from a state of fear and fear to their current ambition to go south. Charles I received the wealth donated by Jiuhu and traded taxes with Daqian.
But now, Charles I's legions have been recruited, but the passage south has not yet been opened.
The army was dispatched, and the Jiuhu people were so poor that they only had the armor and stomach on their bodies, the bows and arrows on their backs, and the scimitars on their waists. The Jiuhu army, armed by the Russians, also became a sharp blade in the hands of the Russians.
Alagba was not a hero who was willing to be subjugated by others. Charles I already knew this when he supported Alagba. Reports of battles that the Jiuhu people could not conquer for a long time were sent back one after another.
After the Kingdom of Rus entered into trade with Daqian in the past few years, each principality made a lot of money. Once the war broke out, the mutual trade was interrupted. The dukes, marquises and their direct descendants, the earls and barons, who had tasted the dividends of trade, gradually changed from the commercial alliance. It was developing in a direction that Charles I did not want to see.
Under the throne, there were bones everywhere. Charles I felt a little uneasy now, so he summoned the army not only to go south, but also to shock the country.
With the continuous heavy rain in July, King Charles I of Rus slowly gave up the idea of going south.
The king's master left the country and the throne was empty. When he thought of these words, the choice in Charles I's heart became clear.
A royal order was sent from the royal castle, and it took half a month to reach Aragbari's hands.
Aragbaz looked at the letter in his hand, and slowly raised his head to look at the dark clouds above his head. The muscles on his cheeks were ferocious, and the squeezing sound of his teeth was like a beast grinding its teeth.
Aragba lowered his head slowly, put on a smile, turned to look at the captains beside him and cursed with a smile: "I didn't even wink at all, and I didn't take the king's envoy down to rest."
Watching the messenger of King Rus leave, Aragbaz took a deep breath, but could not spit it out.
"Oh!" Aragba's face flushed, he leaned forward violently, and a stream of blood spurted out from his mouth.
The surrounding captains of nine hundred thousand soldiers quickly supported Alagbaz, who said in a muffled voice: "Withdraw the troops!"
"But we have almost conquered Zuowuguan!"
"Yes, we can go south after breaking through the border. How can we withdraw our troops at this time!"
…
A buzzing sound resounded in Alagba's tent. Alagba supported himself, threw the letter in his hand into the arms of the captain beside him, and shouted sternly: "Don't retreat? Char's army is surrounding you." If you lose the tribe, you will not be refunded!"
Aragbazrang stretched out his hand to let his guards support him, walked out of the big tent, glanced at the Dagan military flag hanging high in Zuowuguan in the distance, Aragbaz spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground: "Dagan , after I take care of Char, I will personally lead the massacre of hundreds of your cities one day!"
Nowadays, the Jiuhu people have long been unable to conquer, and Alagbari knows this very well, but he is just a little bit close to being able to take his tribe back to the grassland where he was born and raised.
At night, the Jiuhu people abandoned the camp, but except for this big camp, they left behind the bodies of nearly 40,000 old riders.
"Return!"
"Jiuhu retreats!"
…
The next day, the weather was bright. When the fog in the valley cleared at noon, the sentries at Qianguan looked at the Jiuhu camp from a distance and discovered the evacuating Jiuhu army. The shouts spread throughout Zuowuguan.
From the beginning of preparations for the war in May to now, it has been a full three months of fierce fighting. From Su Ce to the auxiliary soldiers at Zuowuguan, all of them have bloodshot eyes. They have to resist an army of 200,000 people with only 10,000 people. If not,
Arms and supplies were abundant, and Zuowuguan had long been broken.
Simply speaking, Zuowuguan still stands in the valley, and the cheers lasted for a while and then stopped.
Many of the defenders in Zuowuguan were relaxed. Many of them found a place to lean on and fell asleep without taking off their clothes and armor.
Su Ce walked out of the mansion at this time and began to inspect the devastated Zuowuguan.
The entire Zuowuguan was full of traces of war, and the smell of blood was strong in his nose, but Su Ce could no longer smell it at this time.
Thousands of people defended the army and fought fiercely in March. Less than 50% survived, and less than half of them were intact. More than 2,000 people were missing arms and legs, and had broken ears and eyes.
Only now did Su Ce finally understand the meaning of this sentence.
Su Ce climbed up the wall of Qianguan and looked at the Jiuhu people packing their tents. He did not choose to pursue them. The strength of the Jiuhu people was still there.
The sun hung high above his head, but Su Ce felt sweat on his back. This was a gamble for Su Ce to transform from a chess piece to a chess player, and Su Ce won the gamble.
Su Ce stood like this all afternoon, watching helplessly as the Jiuhu people dismantled their tents and headed north in an orderly manner.
There is never an absolute winner in a war!
When the last Jiuhu group retreated north, Su Ce's stiff body walked down the city wall. The Jiuhu people were gone, and the matter at Zuowuguan should come to an end.
The losses of the Jiuhu people in this battle were not large. The Laoqi lost less than 30,000, and the Wolf Cavalry basically had no losses. The biggest loss was probably the 50,000 Wei Nu army. In total, the losses were nearly 80,000, and only 9
The elite of the Hu people are still there.
However, the losses in Zuowuguan were all elites. The ten thousand defenders only had less than 5,000 left, and more than 2,000 of them were disabled. In total, Dagan lost nearly 7,000 elites.
In the evening, Su Ce ordered Zuowuguan to be under martial law to prevent the Nine Hus from killing a horseman. The other captains were also at their fighting positions. Su Ce only summoned Commander Shi Zhaoyu to come.
"Tell me, how should this battle be reported to the Ministry of War?" Su Ce threw a bag of fried soybeans to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu did not answer Su Ce directly, but took out the soybeans from the bag and threw them into his mouth one by one.
After eating the soybeans for a long time, Zhao Yu took off the water bag from his waist and took a swig before speaking.
"In the afternoon, I sent people to capture a few tongues. In this battle, the Jiuhu people sent more than 200,000 troops, and lost less than 80,000. It can be said that we gained a victory in the battle. We changed our strategy four times. We fought hard in the fortified city to break the barbarians and hunt. We gained a victory in the battle.
, compared with two times, reduced by two ranks. In this battle, our army's honors are ranked fourth! Outpost captain Xie Kaizheng, fighting hard in the fortified city, the one who has the most merit, three ranks! Lost the pass, reduced the honors by two ranks, made five ranks, the captain and the rest
The commanders of each department will carry out four rounds of planning, the main army will carry out four rounds of military service, and the auxiliary troops will carry out three rounds of military service."
Su Ce shook his head and said: "The generals are all using their lives. I will lose two ranks of honors. Each of the leaders of the tribe will lose one rank. Every soldier who died in battle will receive two ranks of honors. The main army will have six ranks, and the auxiliary troops will have five ranks.
, for disabled soldiers, the main army should make five changes, and the auxiliary soldiers should make four changes. Is this feasible?"
Zhao Yu thought for a moment and nodded.
"Use ink!" Su Ce took out the seal, and Zhao Yu stood on the table and began to draft a battle report.
Su Ce waited until Zhao Yu finished writing, read it carefully twice and stamped it with his own seal. Zhao Yu took out a copper tube, rolled up the battle report, put it in the copper tube, sealed it with fire paint, and stamped his long history seal.
After the war, it should be like this!
Su Ce knew that he would not be able to stay in the Sanguan Protectorate for long. The three generals and seven lieutenants of Zuowuguan were from the Sanguan Protectorate. These people were not direct descendants of the Anbei lineage, so Su Ce did not
Plan to have a close relationship with them.
Although their military merit was reduced, it gave the soldiers more military merit. As the commander, he should seek benefits for the soldiers. After all, Su Ce was right. I think many generals would not have any complaints. If it was because of
This military achievement will make them hate Su Ce, and these generals will only be small generals for the rest of their lives.
In mid-August, the battle report arrived at the Ministry of War, and the reward was issued within three days.
Because it was an undeclared war, the war in which the 200,000 Jiuhu troops marched south did not go through the three provinces and was only decided by the Ministry of War.
In early September, Su Ce received the transfer order and returned to Chang'an to report on his duties. Zuowuguan was handed over to the Sanguan Protectorate for reconstruction.
After receiving the order, Su Ce led his bodyguards on the way home without making any further stops.
