The remaining Beihai navy on both sides were finally completely defeated by the cavalry on both sides, cutting back and forth like a bone-cutting knife. Especially after the fiercely resisting guards soldiers were killed one after another, the remaining soldiers of the Beihai tribes were completely wiped out.
The courage to fight.
The Huolin Army cavalry fell from their horses to the ground, killing the toughest guards in the Northern Navy one by one. The number of people and the level of morale had already determined the fate of these guards' defeat. But these crazy guards
The soldiers of the guard are not afraid
He stepped on his own body in fear and continued to advance. If the number of Huolin Army cavalry was not greater than that of the Guards soldiers, one on one, the Fire Lin Army cavalry would not even be an opponent of the Guards. But the war is fought by a group, not
a certain person.
One of the most powerful guards soldiers fell to the ground after his war horse was shot, and continued to fight to the death with the Huolin Army. As he was advancing, he suddenly found that three swords were slashing at him in front of him.
There is no way to retreat, there is no way to avoid it, there is no choice
Under this, he could only roll to the ground, slashing with the horizontal knife continuously, trying to chop the soles of the Fire Lin Army cavalry. However, just as he rolled to the ground, he suddenly found that three more strange weapons appeared in front of him.
The knife stabbed at him like lightning.
"Pfft!"
Three blood arrows splashed, and the guard soldier was fixed to the ground forever, and the scimitar was also picked aside. On his body, there were three big bleeding holes, which were all poked by the sharp blade tips.
The hot blood that came out was quickly condensed, completely sealing the wound. The messy snowflakes fell, slowly covering him, and eventually mixed with the rest of the corpses. He could no longer be distinguished.
"Whoosh!"
Wei Chen saw a guard soldier who looked like an officer. He raised his hand and shot an arrowhead, but the opponent used a scimitar to cut his head into two halves. Wei Chen was annoyed and shot several more arrows in succession, but the arrowhead
Either they were knocked away by the swords in the melee, or they were blocked by the target raising their swords.
"Officer!" Wei Chen said in a voiceless voice, preparing to ride forward and fight the opponent.
"Wha..." A harsh sound came out, and Wei Chen's officer, who had not been shot down by several arrows, was pierced by the arrow, and the arrow passed through his body.
"Alas..." Wei Chen stopped his preparations to get closer, and Zhao Xun took action himself, never leaving anyone alive under the arrows.
The clouds were very low, the wind seemed to be getting stronger, ghosts were crying and people were fighting everywhere. The heavy snow was still falling, trying to cover up the overwhelming fighting, but unfortunately, it
It failed. The falling snowflakes could only freeze the corpses and wounded on the ground. They could only hide the blood stains on the ground, but they could not affect the two sides who were fighting.
A large number of lives disappeared continuously as time passed. No one knew how many bodies of the Northern Navy were buried in the messy snow, and how many soldiers of the Fire Lin Army died. At this juncture,
, no one cares about the number of casualties, and no one cares about who has died in the battle. Strategies and strategies have no effect, and the role of commanders is also minimal. They only rely on the will and endurance of ordinary officers and soldiers.
However, due to the escape of the commander-in-chief of the Northern Navy, the Northern Navy was completely at a disadvantage, and there were sporadic cases of surrender in some places.
Half an hour later, the battles on the northern and eastern fronts were over. After the soldiers sent by the Northern Navy learned that the generals of the Northern Navy had fled and that they were just bait, most of the remaining people chose to surrender and handed over the matter of escorting the prisoners.
After joining the infantry and the soldiers in the camp, the three thousand cavalry turned towards the western front.
After the reinforcements from the northern and eastern fronts arrived, the Northern Navy was completely in dire straits, and the exhausted Huolin Army breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let the cavalry battalion counterattack immediately, and those who surrender will avoid death! At the same time, let the heavy armor battalion withdraw to the Beihai Navy Camp, replace the heavy armor, and change into cotton-padded clothes."
"Let the injured soldiers rush to the North Navy Camp immediately to rest and recuperate!"
"Let the young and strong people in Bai County City go out of the city to help move the harvest from the Northern Navy Camp. At the same time, try to move back the corpses of the soldiers as much as possible."
"Li Yan, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Navy, has left us some good things. Twenty thousand war horses, ten thousand pack horses, five thousand cattle, thirty thousand sheep, and countless arrows. It is really worthy of us to let him go."
After hearing the reward, Liu Wenqi was also filled with emotion.
Zhao Xun laughed and said: "According to the prisoners, Li Yan left things behind to delay our soldiers. What do you think?"
"I don't know Li Yan very well, but judging from his performance, he must know our need for those things and also know that we need to send a group of people back to cause them to cause discord between the tribes and the King of the North Sea.
, deliberately leaving these things is actually just buying a life. Presumably, he already knows that it's not that we can't stop him, but that we just don't want to. Besides, didn't we remind him? "
The reminder Liu Wenqi mentioned was actually Zhao Xun shooting an arrow in the air and slicing open the collar on Li Yan's chest. It was also a warning to him, not that he couldn't kill you, but to deliberately keep you. He warned Li Yan not to fight again.
Our idea.
"Li Yan is also a figure. From now on, when the Beihai tribes are busy, we will be stable.
On November 28, the 21st year of Xuanwu, the Huolin Army defeated the navy's invasion.
Lin Luo jumped off his horse and ran to report to Zhao Xun: "Report... Sir, according to statistics, more than 4,000 people escaped and headed northeast. Should we pursue them?"
Zhao Xun nodded and said expressionlessly: "Let them go!"
Lin Luo said eagerly: "Sir, my subordinates can lead people to chase them. I guarantee that no one can escape."
Zhao Xun shook his head and said: "No, don't chase them. It's better for them to escape. The King of Beihai slipped away in the middle and used the hands of our Huolin Army to weaken the tribes of Beihai. If the tribes of Beihai are not informed of this news, we will
Take a lot of pressure.”
"Oh... I understand!" Lin Luo suddenly realized.
"After collecting the bodies of the brothers, the army retreated and completely evacuated the Beihai Navy camp, not even sparing their military tents."
When they learned that the Huolin Army had defeated the navy, the nervous people in Bai County cheered. When they learned that they needed to help the Huolin Army move the loot, they immediately gathered to respond. Seeing the dense flocks of sheep and war horses, not only the people, but also
Zhao Xun was also delighted.
"Sir, although these war horses are good things, they also bring a lot of pressure to us. The fodder and soybeans needed by the war horses need to be urgently provided, otherwise, these war horses will be wasted. In the cold winter, the war horses will also be lost.
Fat is the most serious time."
"That's right, I will give an order when I get back and let Yanzhou Mansion start preparations. As for these war horses, they should be placed at the military horse farm northwest of Yanzhou City. These cattle and sheep will be given to the people of Bai County. In order to defend Bai County, the people here
I have paid too much." Zhao Xun sighed.
Liu Wenqi said: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous! I think the people who come to Bai County will be unparalleledly loyal to you."
Zhao Xun sighed and finally said nothing...
Post-war statistics show that before and after the battle, including those who persuaded people to surrender and those who were trapped and killed, there were 30,000 soldiers from Beihai tribes. More than 11,000 surrendered, 15,000 died in battle, and only 4,500 escaped in the end.
Surrounded by the Fire Lin Army...
In this battle, the Huolin Army lost more than 3,000 infantrymen and more than 1,500 cavalrymen, mostly in the final fight. But counting the resistance for nearly a month, the entire Bai County City was destroyed.
20,000 soldiers and young men were lost, plus the civilians, 50,000 people in Bai County have disappeared in this battle. As for the consumption of various materials, it is impossible to tell the exact number...
…
In general, it is a blessing to be able to defeat more with less. More importantly, the people of Yanzhou Prefecture have completely accepted the Huolin Army and regard the Huolin Army as the guardian of Yanzhou Prefecture.
This is the biggest gain for Zhao Xun and Huo Linjun.
After the battle, Zhao Xun immediately spread the news to the counties. One is to let all places know the result of the victory. The other is to let some interested people weigh his own abilities and let him evaluate whether he is better than the Northern Navy.
Even more powerful.
After settling the wounded, Zhao Xun will discuss the treatment of cattle and sheep with the civil service system of Bai County. As for the cattle, they will be allocated to those scarce villages and towns to serve their land. As for the sheep, after discussion, they will be treated as pensions and rewarded.
Those who contributed to the defense of the city.
In addition, there are some harvests, that is, the horses that died in the battle. The horses that died in the battle have no other use, but for the people, they are meat. Zhao Xun also asked the county magistrate Zhong Wen to distribute them one by one, so that
People eat horse meat in winter.
At this time, Zhao Xun was once again cheered and supported by the people in the city. Zhao Xun discussed with everyone the role of pack horses. Zhao Xun meant to set up a special logistics team to coordinate logistics affairs for each army, especially the infantry, logistics and transportation
Some troubles. Logistics and baggage team
, is responsible for the transportation of grain and fodder for each ministry, the replenishment of soldiers and armor, and even temporary participation in battles. In this way, the army can better participate in the battle without having to worry about logistics replenishment all the time. Some old horses or injured war horses can also be
This can be done.
After deliberation, everyone basically believed that this method was feasible, but how to establish it and divide the responsibilities still required detailed arrangements back to Yanzhou City.
