There was a tacit understanding between the two armies after the war.
This tacit understanding does not require communication. It seems to have formed naturally from the day the war began.
No matter how brutal the war, when the corpses are collected after the war, both sides will default to a temporary truce to collect the corpses of their own soldiers.
If the earthen jar is not broken outside the well, the general will inevitably die in battle.
Neither generals nor ordinary soldiers dare to say that they will not die in battle on the battlefield.
Funeral matters are a big deal in both the northern grasslands and the Central Plains. No one wants to leave their corpses alone after their death. Therefore, no one will easily break through this final bottom line.
The setting sun is like blood, but the blood on the grassland is much darker than the setting sun.
The green grass on the ground is full of the blood of people from the Xu Kingdom, whether it is from Daqian or Dazhou.
The grass here will definitely be more lush in the coming year.
By the time the two sides converged, it was completely dark.
In this battle, 9,876 Tiance soldiers were killed and nearly 10,000 people were injured. There were no casualties, either light or serious. The losses were not insignificant.
Of course, Beigan's losses were even greater. When Xiaoyue Tianlang was defeated, the morale of the entire Beigan Army collapsed instantly.
This is because the main attack is the Golden Wolf Army, one of the two most elite troops in Emperor Qian's hands. The Beigan Imperial Guards - Qixue Army was selected from the Golden Wolf Army and another Tianlang Army.
If we had replaced one of our troops, we might have collapsed on the spot.
The Howling Moon Sirius is the totem of Beigan, representing the supreme ancestor of Daqian, Genghis Khan.
Although Si Hanfei was not Taizu, he inherited Taizu's martial arts, so the moment he displayed it, the soldiers of Beigan went crazy.
This feeling is probably that of the Tang army in the late Tang Dynasty, who suddenly saw Emperor Taizong Wen appearing on the battlefield with his black armored cavalry.
At the very first moment, the Golden Wolf Army's sudden frenzy caught the Tiance Army off guard and almost broke down the Tiance Army's defense line.
The fanaticism of belief is certainly terrifying, but when the totem collapses, the negative impact will be equally huge.
When Xiaoyue Tianlang Tulu was defeated by Chang Yanheng, the morale of the Beiqian army also plummeted. The Tiance army took advantage of the situation to counterattack, leaving the Beiqian army in a state of embarrassment.
In the Beigan tent, Emperor Qian was listening to today's battle report.
"The captain of ten thousand, one was killed in battle, the captain of thousands was killed in seventeen, and nine were seriously wounded, the centurion was killed in ninety-one, and one hundred and twenty-three were wounded, and the ordinary sergeants were killed in thirteen thousand seven hundred and twenty. Four people...these are only directly under the military command, and those from other small tribes have not yet had time to be counted!"
Beigan is different from the centralized power of the Zhou Dynasty. There are still many tribes under Beigan that are affiliated with the Beigan court.
Their model is a bit like the Middle Ages on Blue Star. The vassals of my vassals are not my vassals, but the vassals of my vassals.
These small tribes are all relatively independent individuals. Whether it is the government affairs or the army in the tribe, it is difficult for the big officials to directly intervene.
This was the purpose of the previous generation of emperors Qian, who reformed the government and implemented the Han system. They wanted to imitate the Central Plains dynasty and centralize power in the central government. Although the results were impressive, this did not happen overnight.
This time, Emperor Qian brought many soldiers and horses from small tribes, just in time to use the help of Tiance's army to weaken the strength of these small tribes.
Once most of the young men in the tribe were defeated on the battlefield, it would naturally be much easier for Emperor Qian to annex these tribes.
Beigan had an absolute military advantage, but the war was not going well, which made Emperor Qian very dissatisfied.
In particular, Li Chengen, the soul of the enemy army, was poisoned and unconscious, unable to direct the battle.
How come he, the mighty Beigan Khan, can't even defeat a Tiance army with a debuff?!
In the past, King Liang's Chahan Timur rarely won against the entire Tiance army, but even if he lost, the defeat would not be too ugly.
Could it be that I, the Great Khan of Beiqian, was not as good as Chahan, a rebellious minister and traitor who wanted to separate the regime?! No, we can't just forget it. Li Chengen's poisonous wound has not healed, and this is a God-given opportunity. Even if his morale is low, he must continue to attack tomorrow. The Zhou army cannot be given a chance to breathe.
Just when Emperor Qian had doubts about himself and strengthened his belief, a vigorous but weak voice sounded. "Your Majesty!"
After seeing the people entering the tent, the most noble Khan of Beigan also stood up to greet them.
"Uncle Tai Huang, why are you here!?"
Si Hanfei is the younger brother of his grandfather, Emperor Shizong, and the grandson of Taizu. He is now the number one expert in the Beigan royal family.
Regardless of his identity, Beigan Khan had no choice but to treat him with courtesy.
"Old Emperor!" All the Beigan generals in the tent also stood up one after another.
After Sihanfei saluted the Great Khan of Beigan, he returned the salute to all the soldiers. This old prince admired the culture of the Central Plains China very much, so he got the name "Sihanfei".
For example, when the ministers and generals in the tent addressed Emperor Qian, they mostly addressed him as "Great Khan", but Sihan Fei only addressed him as "Your Majesty".
"Old minister, I am truly ashamed of Your Majesty for being defeated at the hands of the enemy today!"
Si Hanfei was the first to plead guilty, and at least half of the reason for Beigan's retreat today was due to his defeat.
But this incident cannot be entirely blamed on Sihanfei. Originally, he had seriously injured Yang Ning, and when he saw Sihanfei was about to kill the general of Tiance Army, a figure suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Such a powerful master.
Crouching tigers, hidden dragons in the Central Plains, this kind of thing is inevitable.
Although Emperor Qian was unwilling to do so, he would not take it out on Sihan.
"What did Uncle Taihuang say? This mysterious master is very powerful in martial arts. Uncle Taihuang is already old. He has already fought with the "Sky Spear" Yang Ning. When he meets this mysterious master who doesn't know the depth of his skills again, he is very powerful. It is human nature not to arrest him. If I punish Uncle Taihuang for this reason, wouldn’t I be a foolish king?!"
Not only Emperor Qian, but other generals also spoke one after another.
"If the old emperor had not defeated Yang Ning today and fought against this old thief again, it would be difficult to predict the outcome of today's battle."
"Not only did the old emperor have no faults, he actually made great achievements!"
…
Si Hanfei's prestige in the military is comparable to that of Li Chengen and Yang Qingyuan of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was the commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition. He conquered the Mulai Kingdom, occupied Baghdad, captured the Caliphate, and destroyed the Abbasid Dynasty... …There are many old units in the army.
"Uncle Tai Huang just rests in peace and recuperates. Tomorrow, I will personally lead the troops to supervise the battle. I must take advantage of the tiance army's exhaustion and Li Chengen's serious injury to defeat them in one fell swoop..."
All the generals in the tent also responded one after another, but not long after everyone was so excited, Si Hanfei poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to send troops at this time..."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the king's tent, including Emperor Qian, all looked at Sihanfei.
