In early June of the first year of Changping, under the leadership of the commander Li Chenfeng, the Southern Route Army of the Xiaoguo Army fought against 150,000 Turkic cavalry with 200,000 soldiers, and fought against the grasslands 300 miles north of Bingzhou.
In this battle, the Xiaoguo Army once again made its unique gunpowder weapon play a role. Especially after the reform, the thunder is lighter, more portable, and more complete, but for the enemy, it is also more powerful.
The lethal thunder erupted with unprecedented effects. In the end, the Xiaoguo Army and the Turkic cavalry fought head-on. When the Turkic cavalry were caught off guard and the background of the Xiaoguo Army was not clear, they defeated more than 100,000 Turkic troops, and the front and back
Nearly 80,000 enemies were killed, more than 50,000 were captured alive, and more than 10,000 Turkic cavalry remained scattered and fled.
"Report to the General, our army has taken over all the 250,000 people of Bingzhou who left the enemy troops more than ten miles away from the south, as well as the property, livestock, food, etc. that robbed from Bingzhou. Ten thousand Turkic resident
Most of the Yu cavalry were also beheaded and surrendered in small steps." Seeing that the soldiers on the battlefield began to gather and occupy the prisoners, Li Chenfeng was given 30,000 to rescue the people escorted by the Turks and their robbery.
property.
After receiving the report from his subordinates, Li Chenfeng's last worry disappeared and he smiled and said, "Very good, go back and send orders immediately to ask them to escort these people to the camp. In addition, arrange these people and wait for new orders.
.Remember, do not harass them at will, and let officers of each army pass on orders. Those who dare to harass the people will be severely punished."
"Abide by the order!" The commander rushed away and ran towards the south.
"Come here, I'll order each army to pursue only ten miles, and the enemy beyond ten miles, don't pay attention to it!" Seeing the cavalry going to pursue one after another, Li Chenfeng ordered again.
"General, why don't you catch all the net? These scattered soldiers are not good things. If you do anything wrong in my Bingzhou, you should get retribution here. Besides, their current situation can surpass our cavalry
I was really unwilling to let them go." Because they were led by heavy armored cavalry and could not fight for a long time, they dispersed the Turkic army and seized the opponent's commander flag, and then withdrew the general Yang Hu, who was very good at the army.
He said indignantly.
Li Chenfeng smiled and said, "Do you think I don't want all these Turks to die? Do you think I don't want to avenge the people of Bingzhou? We are victorious now, but there are more than 100,000 Turks in this northern part of Bingzhou.
The cavalry and the Khan of the Turks. This time it was because they underestimated the enemy, what about next?"
"I'm not afraid of anything. I need to let these soldiers collapse and spread the power of my Xiaoguo Army. These Turkic tribe leaders, Khan and officers receive news, and may be thrown aside, and instead
We fight to the death. If they are not fighting hard, but are always surrounding our army, like wolves, how should we deal with it?"
"I'm not afraid..." Yang Hu defended.
"You are not afraid, but don't forget that we are still guarding more than 200,000 people, as well as countless wealth, more than 100,000 war horses, and more than 100,000 cattle, sheep and livestock. These all require transportation
Those who return to Dingzhou in the eastern part would not be careless. If we spread our strength through these defeated troops and make the Turkic cavalry fearful, it would be a great benefit to us. By then, even their khan would not be able to suppress it.
These soldiers fear us.”
"Besides, after these defeated troops escape, in addition to going south to join the army, many will return to various tribes. Then, the reputation of our Xiaoguo Army will be spread to the Turkic grasslands, so that these Turkic people will know that the Han people are
It is not easy to come in the territory." Li Chenfeng said excitedly. Li Chenfeng had fought with foreign tribes in the past, so he naturally hoped that the Han people could rise up, suppress the Turkic tribe, and prevent the famous grassland tribe from being humiliated.
Han Xinjiang.
"I understand!" Yang Hu said with a little ashamed look.
The sky gradually dimmed, and the battlefield came to an end. The prisoners were taken away and their bodies were burned one by one. In addition to the ashes of their own soldiers, the bodies of the enemy soldiers were thrown away on the spot and became part of the field.
...
The result of this battle has also come out. After obtaining the exact results data, both Li Chenfeng and the generals were all happy. This battle is a great victory.
In this battle, 150,000 soldiers were dispatched head-on, and after this battle, less than 20,000 were lost, most of them were cavalry. Because many of these cavalry were selected from reserve soldiers like young and strong men.
In a certain aspect, they are not weaker than the soldiers. However, in actual combat, they are still far behind. At least, soldiers who have experienced bloody battles know how to exchange their lives for the lowest price.
In order to achieve the goal of killing opponents and saving lives, these new soldiers are obviously not able to achieve.
Compared with the losses of the Turkic cavalry, this loss is basically negligible. More than 150,000 Turkic cavalry were killed more than 80,000. Among them, only more than 50,000 people died directly in the battle between the thunder and weapons.
The rest were caused by the marbles inside the Dazzling Thunder, which could not be treated, and was later killed directly by the Xiaoguo Army. This measure was not only to reduce the burden on the army, but also to give these Turkic surrendered soldiers a deterrence and warning.
.
In addition to the 80,000 soldiers who were killed due to serious injuries, more than 50,000 were captured among the Turkic cavalry. Most of them surrendered with war horses. At this time, they had been killed by Xiaoguo Army.
The thunder of the sky was intimidated by the fierce methods of the Xiaoguo Army.
What made Li Chenfeng and the generals even more happy was the harvest of this battle, that is, the spoils. The income of the Turks in Bingzhou, the 250,000 Bingzhou people, as well as the property, livestock, food, etc. that they snatched from Bingzhou were all
Except for a small part of the Xiaoguo Army's income during the takeover process, there was nothing wrong with panic and accidents due to accidents in the run-up process.
If these were just taking back the property of the people of Bingzhou, then the 100,000 war horses used to carry property were a real harvest. These war horses were all prepared for the Turkic cavalry, but at this moment, they all
They became the pack horses that carried their property. Now, they all fell into the hands of the Xiaoguo Army. Not only that, more than 100,000 cattle, sheep and livestock used as military rations by the Turkic army were also seized. In addition, they were captured from the Turkic army.
In this battle, more than 200,000 horses were captured from the cavalry. Moreover, most of them were best war horses.
At the same time, some troubles also arise. How to resettle these more than 200,000 people is a huge problem. The Turks may not care about the death of these people, but they cannot ignore them. The speed of their soldiers and their soldiers is naturally not allowed.
In comparison, and the possibility of triggering a war with the Turks here at any time, they had to be careful of accidents in these people.
…………
At night, there were piles of bonfires everywhere in the camp of Xiaoguo Army. The chief general Li Chenfeng ordered to slaughter tens of thousands of seized livestock to reward the three armies. More than 100,000 soldiers of Xiaoguo Army were excited and excited at that time.
Enjoy the joy of victory. This battle is a great pleasure. Whether it is an officer or an ordinary soldier, everyone is happy. During the conversation, they are dancing and cheerful, and they are all telling their performance on the battlefield.
The whole camp was filled with joy...
In the tent that can accommodate thousands of people, Li Chenfeng held a celebration banquet for hundreds of meritorious soldiers. The soldiers who made military achievements gathered together, with the mountains of meat, wine and the sea of lively and noisy, and they were in great joy. They were in a state of great joy.
In combat, he could defeat him, kill 70,000 to 80,000 enemies and capture 40,000 to 50,000, while the Xiaoguo Army only killed and injured less than 20,000 people. Such a huge gap in casualties is enough to make him unforgettable, and even, it is possible in history.
Leave a stroke above...
"Dear soldiers!"
Li Chenfeng raised the big sea bowl, and dripping drinks fell from the side. The big tent suddenly became quiet. Li Chenfeng's slightly heavy voice echoed in the big tent, "This battle defeated our Xiaoguo Army."
The military power allowed the Turks to see the power of our Xiaoguo Army. Let them know that we, Han people, cannot be humiliated easily."
"This battle is because the lord gave up the dispute over the Central Plains, to save the people of Bingzhou, and to promote the power of our Han army. At the same time, this victory is also the contribution of the soldiers of the three armies to sacrifice their lives to kill the enemy, and we celebrate the victory.
At that time, we should not forget the brothers who sacrificed their lives for the country. I propose the first bowl of wine to the fallen soldiers, and may they rest in peace in the heavenly spirit."
After saying that, Li Chenfeng slowly poured the wine to the ground, and hundreds of soldiers followed the commander to sprinkle the wine to the ground. A heavy look appeared in the entire tent.
Li Chenfeng was silent for a little while, raised the wine bowl again and whispered loudly: "The deceased has passed away, we should not forget their achievements. These brothers did not die in vain, and we will remember their sacrifices. OK
Since it is a festive banquet, we cannot make it so low. The next bowl of wine and the third bowl of wine are the soldiers I toast here, and all the soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army, we drank this cup!"
"Drink!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank them all in one go.
"All the soldiers are free, and we will be happy tonight. Remember, don't drink too much!" Li Chenfeng said with a loud laugh.
As soon as the banquet arrived, an emergency report was heard outside the tent: "Report... Report to the general, a messenger in Youzhou has arrived!" The door of the tent was opened, and the patrol officer said anxiously.
"Are the identity confirmed?" Li Chenfeng put down the wine bowl and asked anxiously. At this time, what military orders will be heard in Youzhou? This has to make him feel energetic.
"Reporting to the general, their identity has been confirmed. They came quickly from Youzhou to meet the general and convey the lord's military order!" The officer reported in a deep voice.
"Please invite him in!" Li Chenfeng said in a deep voice.
After a moment, several silly warriors came in. When Li Chenfeng saw it, he said, "Wu Military Deputy Envoy!"
"General Li! This is my command arrow! Please check!" The visitor smiled and nodded to Li Chenfeng, then took out his command and identity command arrow. In Xiaoguo Army, all kinds of procedures are still very rigorous.
Without necessary procedures and identity commands, they cannot tell whether they are true or not.
After checking the other party's command arrows and handwritten warrants, Li Chenfeng smiled and said, "I wonder if Lord Wu is here this time?"
Lord Wu smiled and said, "I won't be foolish with General Li. I believe General Li also wants to know the lord's military order at this moment. This is the military order from Daoyouzhou five days ago. After discussion by the masters of the Military Affairs Department,
He just issued this military order." As he said that, he handed the secret order in his hand to Li Chenfeng. Moreover, there was a look of caution on his face.
Li Chenfeng said so cautiously that he couldn't help but open the military order in his hand. After reading it, he laughed and said, "We are going to take action against Bingzhou? This is simply great! I'm worried about the more than 200,000 Bingzhou people.
How to deal with it? Now, with the team moving west from Youzhou, we don’t need to worry about the safety and logistics of our hundreds of thousands of people.”
It turned out that there was nothing else in the military order, just to send an order to Li Chenfeng. If this battle was won and the losses were small, then the army of these four towns did not need to turn back and went south to Bingzhou, and led the northern part of Bingzhou from the north of the original town.
General, Cao Gang, the lackey of the Turks, is now recaptured by the hands of the Turks.
In addition to their four towns, there are two towns of Youzhou, and the young guards are dispatched to advance west from the northwest of Youzhou and into the northern part of Bingzhou. The purpose of the Xiaoguo Army this time is to take
The five prefectures in the northern part of Bingzhou. Although these five prefectures occupy half of the land in Bingzhou above the quota, the actual territory is only one-third. Because these five prefectures are all the northern part of Bingzhou and the grasslands.
The ground connection zone is the front line to resist the grassland nations, so now it has all fallen into the hands of Cao Gang.
"How could my lord know that my army on the south road won a great victory? Also, why did we suddenly start fighting against Cao Gang this time?" Li Chenfeng asked with a smile.
Master Wu said: "My lord had confidence in you at that time. When the general's order was sent back to Youzhou, he asked the Youzhou Military Affairs Department and the Government Affairs Department to prepare for the response, and at the same time issued a military order to you. Originally, it was a military order.
You gathered together with the Youzhou army to act together. However, three days ago, I learned that you have prepared this operation and that you have prepared very well. Therefore, the masters of the Military Affairs Department are naturally very confident in you.
. Therefore, I will come here to convey military orders to you directly, so that you can prepare immediately after the war and prepare for the army to attack Bingzhou."
"As for this Cao Gang, he is no longer the general of Zhenbei of the Great Yan Kingdom. He and the Turks will harm our Han people and this thief should be punished. Since we have defeated half of the Turkic army, plus
The lord's actions in the north. Then, this Turkic army will no longer be threatening us in a short time. Since that is the case, Cao Gang cannot stay. If he does not take action now, he may turn to Situ Lei's side in the future.
We are not good at doing it.”
"In addition, the power of the Yong King in southern Bingzhou is now in the transfer of power. This is also the best time for us to take action against the northern Bingzhou. You must know that there are three prefectures in the five northern prefectures that were seized from the Bingzhou Governor.
In many places, the current garrison is still the Bingzhou Prefecture Army. However, they were just swaying between Bingzhou Governor Situ Jian and Zhenbei General Cao Gang. In order to win over these people, Cao Gang did not have the Bingzhou Prefecture Army in these five prefectures.
Kill all the troops. Situ Jian, the governor of Bingzhou, was busy reorganizing the Bingzhou Prefecture Army into the Bingzhou Army and making it a regular soldier. Since this is the case, it is naturally a bargain for us. In the end, we can still gain a foothold here for the future.
The attack on Bingzhou lays the foundation."
"Originally, I have another task, which is to check the results of your battle. If the loss is too great, then I will prepare you to withdraw to Dingzhou and replenish the soldiers, and then advance westward from the southern part of Dingzhou with the army.
But now it seems that your results this time have far exceeded my expectations. General Li, congratulations! This great victory has made a lot of contributions!"
Li Chenfeng smiled and said, "This is not my credit. The thunder was unexpected. The soldiers tried hard, so this result was the result. However, Lord Wu, it seems that we don't have to turn back. It's better to go south directly.
The tens of thousands of Turkic people imprisoned in this camp still have a little effect. I dare not say anything else, so I can help them take Cao Gang's city at night."
As he said that, Li Chenfeng explained the information he had investigated. The relationship between Cao Gang and the Turks was already deeply involved. The Turkic army could even go straight to the city in Cao Gang's jurisdiction and rest and act recklessly.
The people in the five northern prefectures lived under the oppression of the Turks at that time. Even some of the soldiers under Cao Gang dared not speak out. This time, they used military force against the five northern prefectures in Bingzhou, Li Chenfeng's
It's a hundred willing.
"Mr. Wu, since that's the case, I will launch an action tonight and let the cavalry start raiding the counties of Daizhou. If you use the Turkic cavalry as a guise, you will definitely be able to open the city gate. Wait for dawn, all the Daizhou Prefectures will be fully scammered.
I am afraid that I will fall into the hands of my Xiaoguo Army.” Li Chenfeng said in a deep voice.
Deputy Military Affairs Envoy Wu Zhong smiled and said, "In this operation, you are the commander, I am just coming to pass the order. Since you have encountered a great battle, I will follow the army and see the army of my Xiaoguo Army.
Wei, after all, if you have not experienced the battlefield, how can you be considered a qualified military deputy envoy?"
Li Chenfeng was naturally happy to see the decision above. Speaking of which, when he was victorious, he was still considering whether to suggest to the above, suggesting that the army conquer the northern part of Bingzhou. After all, if Zhao Xun was in the Turkic royal court, he would be in great territory.
Victory, then, this Turkic tribe would not have the energy to look south at the territory of the Han people for a certain period of time. Then, in the northern part of Bingzhou, Cao Gang's troops became an isolated force.
Without the support of the Turks, Cao Gang could only choose one to surrender to the Yong army in the south and the Xiaoguo army in the east and the Xiaoguo army in the north. According to the Xiaoguo army's methods of acting, Cao Gang knew very well that his own behavior was very clear.
I'm afraid there is no good way out for Xiaoguo Army. Then, he can only turn to the Yong Army. In this way, the entire Bingzhou land will fall into the hands of the Yong Army. For Xiaoguo Army, this is the case.
, it is extremely unfavorable, and Li Chenfeng naturally would not hope that this is the case.
