In the middle of winter, the weather is dry and the things are dry, which is really a good time to kill and set fire.
The only thing that is a bit bad is that it was heavy snow some time ago and the snow was too thick. When the flammable items such as grass and tents were burned, they touched the snow on the ground.
The fire began to stop gradually.
Even so, the fire continued for more than two hours.
At this time, Yuwen Xiaomagan's ambush on all sides had already gained a lot.
However, at this time, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er had no intention of counting the capture, because he had to advance and wipe out the surviving Khitan remnants in one fell swoop.
After all the troubles last night, the entire Khitan tribe was completely disabled.
Not to mention anything else, just the stored forage grass was completely burned out, even without the clearance of the Sui army later, it would be enough to cut off the Khitans' way of survival!
As for cattle, sheep, horses, etc., although there are many burns in the fire, not many people are actually burned. Instead, they collide with each other and trampled on them. Of course, the main ones who die like this are sheep.
This kind of animal with a smaller body. As for large livestock such as cattle and horses, although there are heavy casualties, most of them are injured. If you want to get it back to the Great Sui Dynasty to be an animal power, there is still no big problem.
And those Khitans are not as lucky as these beasts!
When the Sui army robbed the camp, intentionally or unintentionally focused on the Khitan tents.
And those Khitans who reacted quickly and escaped from the tent at the first time were basically massacred by the Sui army. The remaining Khitans were either burned to death in the tent by fire, or left the tent to become the hoofs of a group of beasts.
Dead Soul. Although some people are extremely lucky and dodged the knot, they are all covered in dust and suffered minor or severe burns and tramplings. They basically lost their ability to resist and were caught by the Sui army.
Like a son, he captured all the prisoners one by one.
The Sui army's work of captive captives was quite brutal and rude. For those who were seriously injured, they would cut the enemy's head first. Those who were less injured and seemed to have certain ability to move were used by the Sui army.
The knife forced him to be a coolie, but all those who disobeyed were beheaded.
With these natives as volunteers, the work of cleaning the battlefield was relatively smooth. By 10 noon, the battlefield had been basically cleaned up and the results of the battle were also completed.
After this battle, the Sui army captured more than 70,000 Khitan prisoners, of which more than 40,000 were young men and women and children, including nearly 5,000 Great Sui women who were originally robbed by the Khitan.
The total number of Khitans who died for various reasons was as high as 160,000, and a large number of them were old and weak.
At this point, the Khitan clan was finally seriously damaged. If it were not considered Shi Wei in the north, it could be said that he had been destroyed by the clan!
In addition, the Sui army also seized nearly 100,000 war horses, more than 200,000 cattle, more than 500,000 sheep, and millions of other cattle, sheep and horse corpses.
In comparison, the casualties of the Sui army can be said to be minimal, with less than 300 people, and they were basically injured. There were only more than ten people who died in battle, and they were basically unlucky, by chance.
Then he fell into the fire animal formation and died gloriously.
Compared to these unlucky Sui army, there was actually one more unlucky person, so he followed Duluo, the chief of the Khitan Dahe tribe.
This guy was not trampled into meat paste by the violent fire animals, and even his body was basically intact, with only a large piece of meat burned between his legs. After the Sui Jun collected the corpse, he
It was confirmed that this guy was burned to death! A poor chief even became a eunuch before dying!
Surprised by Chief Duluo's bizarre way of death, Yuwen Xiaomagan'er suddenly felt good about his heart, so he ordered his soldiers to start screening and identifying Khitan prisoners. Anyone who has a criminal record of humiliating women in the Sui Dynasty will be sentenced to death - Little Chicken
Add tincture oil to burn it!….
Faced with such a cruel criminal law, all the surviving Khitans were frightened, their little cocks were cramped, and many were even scared to incontinence, and they became horny people since then.
After counting the results, the next step is to deal with the funeral.
It was okay for the dead Khitans to let the Khitan prisoners dig a few large pits together, tens of thousands of people per pit, and then sprinkle a few stone ice lumps, even if they were buried in peace.
The Han women who unfortunately died, as well as the few unlucky Sui soldiers, were treated much better. Each of them had a coffin and would be transported back to the Sui Dynasty with the army and buried in the area.
However, those beasts who were burned to death, trampled to death, seem to be more troublesome because they are too many.
Finally, Wei Zheng, the chief of the Wuhou Mansion, came up with an idea and said that dripping water turned into ice at this time, so it would be better to wash and peel all the livestock and make them frozen meat, which could also improve the food of the Sui army.
Although Wei Zheng had a good idea, the Sui army had only 50,000 people in total. Even if they were added to the Khitan captives, they were only just over 100,000. The corpses of those cattle, sheep and horses were as many as three million.
!How long does it take to finish it!
But it would be a pity to abandon these cattle, sheep and horses! You know, in this era, the lives of ordinary people in the Sui Dynasty were still relatively difficult. Although they could basically eat enough, if they wanted to eat meat, they would not be able to celebrate the New Year.
!
After thinking about it for a while, Yuwen Xiaomagan decided to deal with all these cattle, sheep, etc. into frozen meat, and pack them up and take them back to the Sui Dynasty!
Fortunately, there were hundreds of thousands of living cattle and horses seized, and tens of thousands of Khitan prisoners who worked as hard labor, so they didn’t have to worry about insufficient transportation capacity!
So, on the way back to Beijing, the soldiers of the left guards of Yuwen Xiaomagan's troops completely turned into small merchants and struggled to dump cattle, mutton and horse meat into the prefectures and counties where the army passed.
Because all the soldiers have a share of the income from selling meat, and it is distributed according to work, the more people sell more. Therefore, these soldiers who followed Yuwen Xiaomagan'er to the battle started selling meat one by one.
That is quite investment, and some people even say "selling meat" when they sleep!
Although the meat sold by the Sui Army was mostly dead horse, beef and mutton, and the quality did not look very good, it was also meat after all! And the source was clear, it was definitely not a diseased animal meat! What's more, the price was extremely cheap, just compared with
The rice is so expensive, and it is very important! For a moment, the people of all states flocked to each other, and it was like the New Year! With the reputation of Yuwen Xiaomagan'er's army, it also rose and became the people's minds.
People's soldiers! And Yuwen Xiaomagan'er, the main general, was even more evident, and he became a monster-level god with three heads and six arms, heads that can reach the sky and feet that can walk on the ground!
I have meat to eat, money to make money, and I have gained a good reputation for nothing. Along the way, the soldiers of the left and right guards were so happy that they couldn't stop talking all day long that they could wake up laughing when they were sleeping!
However, Yuwen Xiaomagan himself was quite calm. After hearing these rumors in the world, he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to guide public opinion, saying that the reason why he could defeat the Khitan this time was entirely due to His Majesty the wise leadership of the Great Sui Majesty.
His Highness the Crown Prince is planning and so on.
