Yunyang and the others' timely joining forces resolved the non-threatening crisis for Wan Mingliang's troops, and also caused Hu Yanyu and the others, who were worried about being surrounded by Turkic troops, to evacuate the battlefield and flee far away.
Hu Yanyu and the others successfully withdrew from the battlefield, and first began the career of raiding that Hu Yanyun Yao mentioned.
However, Zhebieshu and Yeluha were caught in the pursuit of the Fang Guards and Hundreds of War Troops from the rear.
Both Yeruha and Yeruha were exhausted physically and mentally. It was already night, and the two soldiers and horses of the Sixth Guards of Dalong's New Army in the rear were still chasing their own soldiers and horses.
There is a strong intention to not give up until the two armies of our own army are annihilated.
Facing the enemy whose combat power was approaching abnormality, the two men could only lead their troops to evacuate aimlessly.
The two of them felt that the fighting power of the Fang Guards was abnormal, not because their riding and shooting skills and horsemanship were much better than the soldiers and horses under their command, but because their protection was so overwhelming that they were speechless.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was armed to the teeth.
As soon as the two armies started charging, the enemy gave their own cavalry a vivid lesson in cavalry warfare. They charged at close range and fired serial crossbows, charged at a distance with large yellow bows, and iron-tired bows to make up for the lack of range of serial crossbows.
Each of the cavalrymen carried a horse spear and a horizontal sword, two weapons, one for main battle and one for preparation.
The weapons used by our own soldiers were shot to the ground during the charge, and they could only find ways to avoid the enemy's attack. Once the main battle weapons of the dragon soldiers and horses were shot down, they could quickly draw out the horizontal sword on their waists and give the enemy a blow.
A surprise attack.
Initially, thousands of soldiers and horses were killed by such an unexpected attack by the enemy.
During the roundabout attack, the ignited Lei Zhenzi slid silently into the snow. When our own cavalry charged, they were instantly blown up by the Lei Zhenzi and turned upside down.
The Turkic general Zhebieshu, who considers himself to be the best in cavalry warfare, has finally seen what it means to show off his cavalry.
Looking at Jin Guo, Yeruha also felt deeply powerless, and after some deliberation, he could only choose to avoid his sharp edge.
Only then did the two of them deeply understand the authenticity of the conversation between the Great Khan and the King of Jin Guozhen in the royal tent.
Not to mention the Turks and the Jin Kingdom, the military preparedness of the Six Guards of the New Army cannot be compared to that of Dalong's veteran soldiers. The military preparedness is so great that there is absolutely nothing one can do.
Apart from anything else, just saying that one person has two crossbows and two weapons, this kind of configuration is not something that ordinary people can afford.
If these troops are divided into divisions, it will be more than enough to double the strength. But now they are concentrated on a single cavalry. It is unreasonable that their combat effectiveness is not high.
Now they fully understood how wise Huyan Yunyao's decision was not to confront each other head-on.
Fighting against such an enemy that lacks everything is simply a nightmare.
The scene of a desperate escape and a desperate pursuit was played out on the snowy field under the dark night.
The next day it was getting brighter, and after Dalong's soldiers and horses had eaten, they again began to encircle and kill Turks and Jin soldiers and horses.
A constant running battle began quietly.
Gradually, Yunyang and the generals from all walks of life also noticed that something was wrong.
The enemy has no intention of confronting each other head-on. Often, before the armies even meet, the contact between the scouts will announce that the enemy will break camp and evacuate again.
Except for a few unintentional encounters, large-scale battles did not occur even once for more than a month.
Our side is completely led by the enemy.
Pursuit operations based on horse hoof prints often lose the enemy's whereabouts after a heavy snowfall, and the scouts have to start aimless reconnaissance again.
After several attempts to no avail, General Dalong gathered together and started discussions again.
I also gradually understood the intentions of the soldiers and horses of the two countries.
They are going to engage in a war of attrition supported by food and grass.
Although our own food and grass are still relatively abundant at present, if we continue like this, sooner or later we will be in shortage of food and grass.
"Commander, according to the battle reports compiled by Sima, it has been almost a month, and the number of enemy troops we have killed is not even 30,000.
The enemy has been avoiding fighting and running away desperately. Our cavalry is not bad, but the infantry cannot catch up at all.
If the battle lines continue like this, there will be a crisis in food and grass sooner or later."
Yunyang and others looked at Nangong Ye holding a battle report and reading out the battle report with helpless expressions, and their brows all furrowed.
The enemy troops were migrating and attacking aimlessly on the grassland, half of which were occupied by our own infantry, making it impossible to catch up.
How can we start a war if we can't catch up?
The New Year is coming soon, and the battle here seems to be still going on, but in fact it is no different from being put on hold.
The supply of food and grass has been decreasing, and the number of enemy soldiers killed has become less and less.
"Once food and grass are in urgent need and subsequent food and grass cannot be delivered on time, we will collect food and grass from ordinary Turkic people."
Yunyang's words made everyone present feel tense and looked at Yunyang in astonishment, not knowing how to answer the words.
After a long silence, Wan Mingliang looked hesitant.
"Commander, this is somewhat contrary to the original intention of our Northern Expedition army to make peace with the enemy's people. If it arouses their resistance, it may be detrimental to our expedition."
"Then buy it with silver. You are all dozens of years old and have gone through many wars. Have you forgotten the evil deeds they committed when the Turks were still the hegemons of the Western King's Court and went south to invade the border areas?
Burning, killing, and looting, many innocent people were taken back to the grasslands to become slaves, and many good women were taken back to the grasslands and abused and humiliated by them.
For the evil deeds they committed on our Dalong territory, it is kind enough for us to forcefully sell food and grass for money.
I admit that after this girl Huyan Yunyao became Khan, when she invaded the border, she did not commit the same evil deeds against the people in our territory as the Royal Court of Spieth.
However, most of the Turkic tribes that were affiliated with the Huyan Imperial Court were also affiliated with the tribes of the Western Imperial Court.
Could it be that just because they belong to the Huyan Royal Court and change their appearance, they can cover up the evil deeds they committed against my Dalong people in the past?
Now it is a national war that is about unifying the world. We are benevolent and righteous by not sacrificing the butcher knife to the heads of these ordinary Turkic tribesmen.
We have no choice!"
Yunyang's words silenced the generals, and finally they all agreed to the suggestion.
"This is a new combat strategy that I have worked hard on over the past few days. Aren't they going to fight a war of attrition?
If the blockage is worse than clearing, we will fight a war of attrition with their cavalry, while the remaining infantry will occupy the main rivers and wait.
Snow melted water can be used for emergencies, but long-term use can be very harmful to the body. There are only so many grassland rivers, and it is not easy for so many people to use water. It can always happen.
Please pass it around and take a look, and then prepare to make arrangements."
"Got the order!"
"Nangong Ye, you continue to send letters to King Bingjian and the court, reporting the war situation, and asking King Bingjian to speed up the process of relocating the people. It would be a pity that the fertile fields of the Jin Kingdom are deserted. By the way, you can urge the court on the matter of food and grass.
Although food and grass are relatively abundant at the moment, we still have to prepare for a rainy day.”
"You will finally understand!"
The Turkic war fell into a dilemma.
Liu Mingzhi still lived a relatively stable life in the Northern Xinjiang Palace.
About ten days after Ling Weier gave birth, after Liu Mingzhi received the battle report from Yunyang and the others, Yun Qingshi gave birth one after another, giving birth to a little cotton-padded jacket for Young Master Liu.
Named Liu Shuang.
A few days after Yun Qingshi gave birth, Liu Mingzhi once again received an imperial edict from Li Ye urging him to go to Beijing to report on his duties.
The people who conveyed the order were still Zeng Hai and Chu Renxin.
Under Chu Renxin's diagnosis and treatment, it was determined that Liu Mingzhi's health was almost intact and he could return to Beijing to report on his work.
Before Zeng Hai could say his congratulations, Liu Mingzhi refused because he was busy moving people to settle in the Kingdom of Jin and had no time to spare.
Zeng Hai tried to persuade Liu Mingzhi several times, but he did not change Liu Mingzhi's original intention of not wanting to move.
After Zeng Hai left the palace with complicated and heavy eyes and returned to Beijing to renew his decree, Liu Mingzhi got drunk alone while holding several wine jars while the other girls could not understand.
The words "Shi Ye Ming Ye" were muttered a thousand times, which made all the girls confused and their ears were about to get calluses. They didn't know why the good husband was so crazy.
In more than twenty days, it is time to celebrate the Spring Festival, which happens once a year and people rush to celebrate.
In the study room of the royal palace,
After making a brand new stroller for the two newborns Liu Zhengran and Liu Shuang, and watching the two babies falling asleep to their mothers' songs, Liu Mingzhi went to the place where he had to stick to every day.
study.
There are two things on the desk in the study. A volume of imperial edicts and a battle report.
Liu Mingzhi was staring at these two things in a daze. He had been standing motionless for half an hour.
The battle reports came from various generals in Yunyang.
The edict is the edict of Queen Mother Chen Jie. The above content is that after the emperor Li Ye has chosen a beautiful woman to make a new marriage, Chen Jie asked him to go back and take care of Li Ye's marriage a year ago.
The crackling sound of candlelight brought Liu Mingzhi back to his senses, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Gently rolling up the edict written by Chen Jie in front of him in beautiful handwriting, Liu Mingzhi's eyes reflected on the absurd affairs he had with Chen Jie under various circumstances in the past.
He picked up the wolf hair on the pen holder, dipped it in ink, picked up the pen, and started writing on a piece of rice paper that was always available.
The mountain rain is about to come and the wind fills the building.
Seven vigorous and powerful fonts with good calligraphy appear on the paper.
Liu Mingzhi put down the wolf hair in his hand and closed his eyes with complicated eyes.
