Li Xiaomo's voice came from the side: "If the Blood Commander hadn't delayed their journey for at least half a day, we wouldn't have been able to complete the basic defensive formation. In this half day, we have completed three trenches and the strongest wall.
.”
Li Xiaomo was also covered in blood. He had no fewer wounds than Zhu Shitan, but he had deep internal strength and was able to hold on and command the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
Zhu Shitan said quickly: "Commander, this time it is thanks to the command of Commander Li. If it were not for Commander Li's command, we would not be able to support the arrival of the army. The Flying Bear Legion was almost completely wiped out."
Li Xiaomo smiled bitterly, but he was still a little proud in his heart. The soldiers in Hetao have always been arrogant. Although he was famous before, senior generals like Zhu Shitan rarely took him seriously. But now, he has finally won.
Their respect. He opened his mouth and said: "It's almost like the whole army was wiped out. Now there are only more than 3,000 people left, and half of them are seriously injured." The Flying Bear Legion has a total strength of 50,000, but the legion commander has 1,000 soldiers.
Two hundred, fifty captains, and twenty brigade lords. Including the logistics and the Huotou Army, the strength is about 56,000. However, now there are only more than 3,000 people left, which is indeed no different from the annihilation of the entire army.
Not only that, there were only two to three thousand slaves left who volunteered to participate in the war. Their physical fitness was really poor, and they had no combat experience at all. Under such circumstances, it was a fluke that they could survive.
Fortunately.
Li Xiaomo stood aside with a smile on his face, but everyone knew that he felt very uncomfortable. Especially Zhu Shitan and others who fought alongside him could understand his feelings. The five members of the Flying Bear Legion
The infantry commanders were all Li Xiaomo's old subordinates from the Li family in Qinchuan. As a result, except for Li Duo and Li Hao who survived, all the other three died in the battle. Li Xiaomo suffered such a blow just after he set foot on the northwest prairie.
, no matter how tenacious his spirit is, he may not be able to sustain it.
Fengjing and Dugu also walked up. They had already learned about the situation from the mouths of other soldiers. Dugu patted Xue Sha on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Xue Commander, this is how it is on the battlefield. Iron Eagle and Rouran Alliance Gundam
Five hundred thousand, even if you are here, you can't change this outcome. Fortunately, we finally survived. Besides, it's not like you don't want to come back. If you hadn't held Sibu Gaza back and let Sibu Gaza's elite people join in,
In the battle, they must have been completely wiped out. The Sashan soldiers are no better than the nomadic cavalry, and their infantry combat capabilities are far superior to the nomadic cavalry."
"It was Xibu Jiasha who held me back." Xue Sha said in a deep voice.
Feng Jing smiled and said: "There is no difference. They are all mutual restraints. Commander Blood, I think we need to report the situation here to the lord immediately. By the way, Commander Hengshi, Hassan Hengshi?"
"Dead." Dugu said cleanly.
However, seeing everyone looking at him curiously, a hint of pride appeared on Dugu's face: "I am the commander who chopped him off with my own hands. But this is also the result of Army Commander Li and Zhu Shi talking about their contribution. Tie Ying's 200,000-strong army is attacking.
During their process, more than 120,000 people died in battle. When I arrived with my army, there were only 20,000 cavalry around Hasan Hengshi, and the rest were all acting as infantry for the attack. Originally, I was planning to relieve the siege first.
He was planning something else, but he unexpectedly came to provoke me, so I raised my sword and cut him off his horse."
Everyone understood that it was obvious that Hengshi Hassan was trying to rescue the Iron Eagle soldiers who were trapped inside so that more soldiers could escape. Unexpectedly, he was unlucky and happened to bump into Dugu, an old gangster. So, this man who was once in the prairie
The famous general Tie Ying, who was extremely famous, died on the battlefield.
Only then did Zhu Shitan have the opportunity to interject: "Dushuai, Fengshuai, how come you arrived together?"
Dugu smiled and explained the matter clearly to Fengjing in a few words.
After receiving Haotian's order, Fengjing felt that the situation was not good. So he immediately discussed countermeasures with Xinke. Three hundred and fifty thousand soldiers from the five pure cavalry regiments in Hetao gathered in the northern part of Qiuming. Naturally, they were not here to watch the excitement. According to Hetao
The strategic intention of the high-level officials at the beginning was that their main task was to hold back the main force of the Tyumen cavalry and prevent Memphis from participating in the battle between Hetao and Hengshi Hassan on the southern line. Otherwise, with the tyrannical combat effectiveness of the Hetao cavalry, Feng Jing and Xin
If they were to lead the troops in person, how could Memphis stop them?
Fengjing and Xinke never discounted Haotian's orders. Moreover, Rouran suddenly sent troops, and the situation of the army in the south suddenly became dangerous. Therefore, the two did not dare to hesitate. After a short discussion, Fengjing authorized Wu Xiaolang
Jun temporarily commanded the three legions of Longxiang, Snow Lion and Fengwu to hold back the main force of Memphis. He and Xingke respectively led one hundred thousand cavalry southward from the east and west sides. The target was directed towards the rocky wasteland.
Xin Ke was walking on the western front, but not long after setting off, he was blocked by 100,000 cavalry led by Elder Rouran Tanda. Since Sir Jiangliu and others were afraid of alerting the Kipchak Khan in advance, they did not attack the Kipchak Khan's direct subordinates.
It was the tribe's idea, and the southern front had already recruited 300,000 cavalry. The northern front also had a hard time gathering so many soldiers. Originally, their mission was just to help Memphis block the Hetao cavalry, but when they saw the letter carved south, Memphis again
Being held back by the opponent's cavalry, Tan Da simply led his army and rushed forward.
Except for Dufang, almost no one in Rouran has actually fought against Hetao. However, Dufang had already died in Jiayuguan, so although everyone knows that Hetao is quite powerful in combat, Rouran has been invincible in recent years, so
Tanda also had great trust in the combat effectiveness of his own army. In addition, he himself was a military general, so he wanted to test the weight of the letter.
Dugu has not received accurate information about the specific battle situation. However, if Memphis does not desperately rescue, Tanda's situation may be really dangerous. As for whether Memphis can spare its troops, Fengjing is very doubtful about this.
The Fengjing cavalry went south from the East Road. Since Memphis was fully prepared to deal with the attack by Wu Xiaolangjun and others, and Hengshi Hassan arrived at the rocky wasteland, the journey was quite smooth. However, when they arrived in the southern part of Tyumen, Fengjing happened to
Encountered the White Tiger Legion who were fighting against General Valencias of Tyumen.
Tie Ying's Dodi and the surrendered general Leng Fangbu desperately held back the Haotian army. In order to prevent Dugu from leading his army to reinforce the rocky wasteland, the Tyumen general Valencias could be said to have recruited all the men he could recruit in the entire Tyumen army.
He joined the army and managed to scrape together a cavalry force of about 70,000 people.
What Valencias didn't expect was that although Dugu were all infantry, they were marching extremely fast, and during the march, the army's defense was also extremely strong. Valencias rushed into the White Tiger Army's formation three times, with one result after another.
They were killed three times by the Hetao army. Even so, Dugu's White Tiger Army was still affected to a certain extent, at least unable to march at full speed. At this moment, Fengjing's cavalry just arrived. Fengjing didn't say much, and the whole army attacked.
Valencias was defeated, and then protected the White Tiger Army and marched westward.
Valencias is also somewhat famous in Tyumen, but what makes him famous is not his military talent, but his stubbornness. Memphis has issued strict orders to hold back Dugu Yuming at all costs, otherwise
He was engaged in military law. He himself also knew that Qiu Ming had reached the critical point of subjugating the country and annihilating the nation, so he was desperate to fight. Although he was protected by the respected cavalry, Valencias still pursued him and killed tens of thousands of his subordinates.
The cavalry was divided into dozens of thousands of cavalry and harassed the marching White Tiger Legion from all directions.
Although the combat effectiveness of these cavalry is poor, they are just like herdsmen who have just mounted their war horses. However, this attack method is a talent flowing in their bones and is the trump card of their nation. Therefore, in actual use, it has been used to a great extent.
Function. Fengjing's cavalry is at an advantage both in terms of combat effectiveness and military strength, but it cannot be annihilated for a while.
Finally, Dugu and Fengjing discussed and dug a trap for Valencias. Fengjing's cavalry suddenly let go of the infantry formation and marched westward at full speed. It seemed that they were preparing to take the lead. And the White Tiger Army was not to be outdone.
, while defending carefully and marching cautiously. Valencias didn't know what the plan was, and he jumped in without hesitation. Tens of thousands of cavalry swarmed forward.
Dugu was not polite, and after holding the opponent tightly, he sent out the fireworks signal. As soon as Feng Jing saw the signal, the cavalry that had run for at least twenty miles suddenly turned back, and the army surrounded the Tyumen cavalry. Valencias
Seeing this, they knew something was wrong, so they naturally tried their best to break out of the encirclement. However, Feng Jing and Dugu finally caught him, how could they let him escape so easily? After a fierce battle, most of the 70,000 Tyumen cavalry were annihilated, and Valencia
Si also died under Dugu's sword. But in this way, the Hetao army was delayed for at least two hours. Fortunately, it was only less than fifty miles away from the rocky wasteland. Under the full-speed march, the two armies finally fought in a bloody battle with flying bears.
Reached the battlefield before the legion collapsed.
"Rouran's 300,000-strong army has been basically wiped out. Without these 300,000 soldiers, Rouran's strength will definitely be greatly reduced. Now he not only has to face the revenge of the Obsburg Empire in the Western Continent, but also the possibility of our
The Kipchak Khan's life will definitely not be easy now." Dugu said in a deep voice: "As for Tie Ying, Hengshi Hassan and his 200,000 elite troops were completely wiped out, and only Dodi and Leng Fang were destroyed.
The cloth cannot stop our army's attack at all."
Xue Sha shook his head and said: "Our losses are too great. The entire Flying Bear Legion has been wiped out. My army has been crippled. It will take at least half a year to restore combat effectiveness."
Everyone was speechless. Since the Dingzhou Incident, Hetao has never suffered such a huge blow. A main army was almost canceled by the opponent, and a second-line army was on the verge of being delisted. Such a huge loss,
I really don’t know what Haotian will do when he sees the battle report. I think back then, in Haotian’s plan to pacify Tie Ying Qiu Ming, the losses must be controlled within one hundred thousand. However, in this battle alone, more than
One hundred thousand soldiers died in battle.
"Commander Du, you will be stationed here in the Stone Wasteland for the time being. Now that the situation has changed, we must go to the Lord immediately to see if the Lord has any new arrangements." Feng Jing said in a deep voice.
Dugu laughed and said, "Don't worry, as long as I am here, there will definitely be no problems here."
The few of them didn't talk much. Li Xiaomo and Zhu Shitan hurriedly handed over the defense line to Dugu, then packed up their things and headed eastward under the protection of the Fengjing cavalry. As for the remains of the Hetao soldiers in the wilderness, Dugu would naturally take them
They were cremated and then sent back to China.
Haotian did not have enough cavalry around him and was quite passive on the prairie. Therefore, Fengjing had to rush to Haotian as soon as possible. As for Xue Sha and Li Xiaomo, they naturally went to report the battle damage.
The battle in the Stone Wasteland ended in this way. In a certain sense, this battle established the future direction of the northwest prairie. About 120,000 soldiers were killed in Hetao, and the entire Flying Bear Legion was wiped out in a bloody massacre.
The legion's 70,000 infantrymen had less than 20,000 left, and they were paralyzed in a short period of time. However, although the Hetao side paid a huge price, the losses of the Rouran and Tieying coalition forces were even greater.
After Iron Eagle descended from Hengshi Hassan, less than 10,000 of the 200,000 elite warriors escaped, and even Hengshi Hassan died on the battlefield. Without Hengshi Hassan to support the overall situation, Iron Eagle's future is bleak.
Guang. At least, after losing 200,000 strong men, Dodi and Leng Fangbu may not be able to get any replacement soldiers.
The situation in Rouran was even worse. As expected by Fengjing, in the battle between Xinke and Tanda, the Qinglong Army only paid less than 6,000 yuan to defeat the Rouran army, and Tanda died on the spot. Rouran soldier Xi
Xinke was furious and led an army to pursue westward. He chased for more than two hundred miles and killed countless soldiers of Rouran before he stopped. Thinking that Rouran had betrayed his trust, Xinke, who always paid attention to his promises, also
He was so furious that on the way back, he simply wiped out all the Rouran tribes along the way and snatched away all the livestock.
Rouran is not like Tie Ying Qiu Ming. Even when the Hetao army went out, they did not cross the border between Rouran and Qiu Ming. Therefore, this time the Hetao army went out, the Rouran herdsmen had no idea of migrating and taking refuge.
They were still grazing in the same place, so there was quite an abundance of cattle, sheep, and livestock. Naturally, Xin Ke was not polite. After killing people, he directly took all the livestock away, and then set fire to all the tents.
Xin Ke was also easy to kill. In addition, almost all the strong young people in eastern Rouran were exhausted and had no strength to resist the powerful Qinglong Legion. Xin Ke was naturally even happier. When he left two days later, the entire eastern Rouran would no longer be able to fight.
Not even a Rouran tribe could be found, and all the cattle and sheep were taken away by them, which made the Hetao soldiers have a good time for several days.
"Rouran, as long as the Kipchak Khan is smart enough, he will never pose a threat to us again." Luo Xiang said with emotion while holding the battle report in his hand.
Haotian sat expressionlessly in the carriage. There were several cans of spirits on the small table of the carriage. Without saying a word, Xue Sha just picked up one of the cans and drank it. Feng Jing and Li Xiaomo were both silent.
Sitting quietly on the side, waiting for Haotian's next reaction.
"Strategic advisor, tell the commander-in-chief to replenish the number of soldiers needed by the Blood Killing Legion as soon as possible. Work faster. We must restore the Blood Killing Legion to its original combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time." Haotian said slowly. Looking at the Blood Killing Legion, it was still the same.
While he kept drinking, Haotian couldn't help but sigh: "Commander Blood, I can't blame you for this matter. Xiao Mo is right. If you hadn't led the army to delay the opponent for half a day, our army's situation would have been even worse.
It's so miserable. I just didn't expect that Sa Shan would still be so energetic."
"We didn't have enough energy to deal with Sa Shan at the time. Their country was originally a group of lunatics who believed in evil gods. Two years was enough for them to regain their strength." Luo Xiang said lightly.
Sashan went on an expedition to Hetao that day, and the entire army of 200,000 soldiers was wiped out. The annihilation of the entire army is different from the 200,000 soldiers who died in battle. An army, as long as its organization and basic framework are still there, then it only needs to fill up with enough new soldiers.
Go in, and then use the veterans to lead the new recruits. According to the original inertia of this army, it will soon be able to restore its combat effectiveness. But it is different from the annihilation of the entire army. Even the organization has been completely wiped out, just like Li Xiaomo's Flying Bear Legion now. All
Everything must be rebuilt. It is really difficult to restore the legion to its previous level.
"Li Xiaomo." Haotian called.
Li Xiaomo quickly raised his head and said, "What are your orders, my lord?"
Haotian's face was calm: "You commanded very well this time, very well. If it weren't for your persistence in the rocky wasteland, Feng Shuai and Du Shuai would have been unable to completely annihilate the Rouran Iron Eagle coalition, and our situation would have been very passive. This
I’ll write it down for you for the time being, and I’ll return it to you later.”
Li Xiaomo looked at Haotian inexplicably. As the emperor of the empire, he actually said that he would write down his achievements and repay them later. I am afraid no one would believe him. Luo Xiang's face twitched, but no one noticed it.
That’s all.
"The remaining three thousand or so soldiers of your Flying Bear Legion will be organized into a guard, and the rest of the soldiers will be transferred to other legions. The soldiers of this guard will be your personal soldiers." Haotian said again, Xue Sha and others were a little surprised.
, Haotian seemed to be depriving Li Xiaomo of his military power, but with Haotian's words, everyone was immediately relieved: "The commander of the Huben Army is me, Haotian, and the military advisor is the acting army commander. However, the military advisor is busy with affairs and does not care at all.
Not that much. In this way, you temporarily serve as the deputy commander of the Huben Corps and are fully responsible for the affairs of the Huben Corps. What do you think?"
Luo Xiang's eyebrows wrinkled again, and even Xuanji and Blood Killing Fengjing secretly winked. It was too risky for Haotian to do this. You must know that the Huben Army is Haotian's personal army, and its combat effectiveness is quite high.
Strong, the most important thing is that they are also responsible for protecting Haotian's safety. If Li Xiaomo has any other ideas, then Haotian will be in danger.
Several people were about to open their mouths, but looking at Haotian's watery face, they finally sighed secretly and accepted the order honestly. Li Xiaomo also understood that this position was a hot potato. If it were someone else, then
Naturally, he would be ecstatic about this, but his identity was different, so he naturally tried to evade it. But Haotian didn't give him any choice now. He said it was an order and ended the topic.
Fengjing raised his head, looked at Haotian and said: "My lord, Rouran..."
Haotian waved his hand and blocked his next words: "You have already told me about Rouran. In that case, the choice you and Commander Xue made was the right one. Don't worry, since this battle is not about Kipchak Khan's betrayal,
But his subordinates are good at making decisions, so we should give him a chance. There are fewer and fewer good men in the world today, and there are only a few people who can impress us. This matter will be postponed for later discussion."
