Chapter 1522 : Chapter Seven hundred and sixty-fifth Han dynasty glory (2)
You must know that even Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent hundreds of thousands of infantry before he dared to ambush the Xiongnu in Mayi. Only the infantry several times the enemy could stop the cavalry.
However, the Han soldiers used a small number of troops to defeat more cavalry. This is definitely something that has never happened before.
Xu Shu was really lost for a moment this time. He raised his eyes and looked ahead.
The scorching sun hangs high in the sky, emitting endless light.
Under the sunlight, you can clearly see the situation on the battlefield.[
It was a mess, with corpses, blood, and war horses everywhere, and the air was filled with a nauseating smell of blood.
"ah."
"Puch."
From time to time, wounded soldiers groaned in pain, and horses that had lost their owners neighed.
It was a miserable situation, but fortunately they won. Most of the miserable situation was left by Cao Jun. A smile appeared on Xu Shu's face.
Joy filled his chest. After this battle, Cao Jun's offensive would definitely slow down and it would no longer be aggressive. The Han Dynasty had gained a precious respite, and the next war would be much easier to fight.
"General Dong, hurry up and collect the wounded soldiers, horses, armor, weapons, arrows, etc., we will return to Xudu." Xu Shu waved his hand and ordered to Dong Gai.
At this moment, Dong Gai had just turned over and dismounted, and found Zhu Ling's head. Zhu Ling's head had wide eyes and a fierce light, which was very ferocious, but Dong Gai couldn't put it down. This was proof of military merit, killing the enemy.
General, this is a great achievement.
"Promise." After hearing Xu Shu's order, Dong Gai loudly agreed, found a bag, put Zhu Ling's head in the bag, and pinned it behind the horse.
Then he got on his horse and began to command the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
Cao's army was a cavalry force, and it was equipped with two horses per day. In this battle, there were 18,000 cavalrymen, at least half of whom were left behind. Naturally, there were a lot of captured war horses and rogue horses.
Plus the rest of the armor, weapons, etc. This process took a long time, until the entire battlefield was searched, and no iron cavalry or war horse could be found.
Xu Shucai led the soldiers and returned to Xudu in a mighty manner.
Soon, Xu Shu and others appeared near Xudu City.
In the east of Xu's capital city, the emperor Liu Xie, the king's general Liu Feng, and many other civil servants and generals stayed there after Xu Shu led his troops to the expedition.
Everyone looked a little nervous, even Liu Feng was no exception. Although the warriors were created by Liu Feng, they should theoretically be the nemesis of the cavalry.
But after all, I have never been on the battlefield, so no one knows the effects.
Because of nervousness and uncertainty. Therefore, when the figures of Xu Shu and others appeared in the distance, the joy it brought became even more rapid.
The sun was bright and a little dazzling. Liu Feng squinted to see clearly in front of him. Only then could he see everything. The flags were waved in front of him, and the soldiers lined up in a row, returning in a mighty manner with a victorious attitude.[
Seeing this scene, Liu Feng suddenly thought of an idiom in his mind.
Return in triumph.
What is a triumphant return is this scene. The army goes out to fight and returns victorious.
"Father, please take charge." Liu Feng bowed to Liu Xie and asked for orders.
In fact, Liu Xie was also distracted, and the victory came so fiercely. But after hearing Liu Feng's request, he immediately knew that now was not the time to lose consciousness.
Now is the time to reward the soldiers and celebrate the victory.
"Come here, open the city gate and welcome the soldiers into the city."
"Kill pigs and sheep and reward the three armies."
"There is a banquet in the palace for the meritorious generals."
Liu Xie issued three orders in one breath.
"promise."
Chen Guangda, the regular attendant, promised, and then he executed it in an orderly manner.
Just as Xu Shu expected, this victory was enough to change the situation of the war. Everything will have a subtle impact. But the most important thing is to boost the glory of the Han Dynasty.
Unlike the last time, Dong Cheng committed crimes on the run. Although his victory was fruitful, he was somewhat unaccounted for. But this time, it was a head-on fight, a victory without any bells and whistles.
The nature is very different, and it should be vigorous.
