Chapter 419

Xue Yantuo's military system is different from that of the Tang Dynasty. Although there are many government military systems in the Tang Dynasty, whenever there is a war, the government troops are recruited to go into battle. The war horses used to kill the enemy are all prepared by the military government.

But Xue Yantuo was different. Although most of Xue Yantuo's soldiers were recruited during the war, the horses used by Xue Yantuo's cavalry were brought by themselves and belonged to them. If the horses were robbed, it would be their own loss.

Moreover, it is hundreds of miles away from Junji Mountain. If their war horses are robbed, they will have no horses to ride and have to walk back to Junji Mountain by themselves. The journey is so long, how can ordinary people survive?

Therefore, Xue Yantuo's soldiers, who were fighting with the Tang army at the front, panicked when they saw their horses being robbed. They had no intention of continuing to fight, so they just hurriedly got rid of the entangled Tang army and rescued their horses.

But haste makes waste, not to mention that the Tang army had the upper hand on the battlefield. The more Xue Yantuo's soldiers wanted to retreat, the more they were entangled by the Tang army, unable to advance or retreat, and the casualties also increased sharply.

From the time when the Tang army's left and right wings came out with light cavalry, and then Xue Yantuo's rear army was attacked, it took only a cup of tea before and after.Xue Yantuo's soldiers, who were absent-minded and unstable in the army, could only be suppressed and killed.

These Xue Yantuo soldiers are also elite, but they have always fought against the wind. Since the rise of Xue Yantuo in Mobei, they have never been suppressed by the enemy as they are today. The time is a little short or not bad, but after a long time, He lost his fighting spirit, and gradually, some people surrendered and surrendered.

Thirty thousand Xueyantuo soldiers entered the battle and fought for a while, with heavy losses. At this time, there were less than [-] Xueyantuo soldiers left in the battle formation. After the Tang army was surrendered, only a few thousand people were left to resist.

"Governor, please surrender the front of Xue Yantuo." When Xue Yantuo's soldiers asked to surrender, the former army notified them. Seeing this, Su Dingfang hurriedly reported to Li Ke.

At this time, the big victory is imminent, and Li Ke should have been delighted, but Li Ke looked at the soldiers of the Tang army lying in the front of the formation, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the original smile on his face was more and more diluted. At that time, even half a smile could no longer be squeezed out of his face.

The so-called "compassion does not command soldiers", Li Ke is naturally clear about this truth, just now when the battle was in full swing, Li Ke still didn't realize it when you came and went.But when the Tang army gradually won, looking at the gradually sparse battlefield and the corpses everywhere, Li Ke's heart became more and more heavy.

The two armies fought fiercely for a long time. Xue Yantuo's soldiers were killed and injured more than ten thousand, and nearly half of the army was lost. How could it be the case with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. After the First World War, the Tang army also suffered thousands of casualties.

Li Ke approached slightly and looked at the soldiers of the Tang army lying on the ground, their faces sinking like water. Half a while ago, they were all living He Dong'erlang, and they were still the concern of countless He Dong fathers, wives and children, but now, they are lying in Nuo Zhenshui's bed On the grassland, the soul is broken in a foreign land.

Li Ke is not a newcomer to the army. During the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty, Li Ke saw far more casualties than now. But at that time, Li Ke was just a proton, not a commander. He still couldn't understand the death of those soldiers. real.

But this time, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Li Ke was in charge of the killing power, and he realized that the general was not only responsible for the outcome of a battle, but also the life and death of tens of thousands of his comrades.

When the army went out, tens of thousands of Pao Ze entrusted their lives to him, he had to take this responsibility and bring them back alive.

Looking at the corpses of Tang Jun on the ground, Li Ke slowly made a decision in his heart, a decision that might cause him to be overwhelmed with saliva.

"Kill." Li Ke spit out a word slowly.

Li Ke's tone was flat, as if what he was facing was not the thousands of Xue Yantuo's soldiers or human lives, but the lightness of more than ten thousand cattle and sheep.

But others don't know that Su Dingfang has followed Li Ke for many years. He knows Li Ke's temper very well. It means that Li Ke is already extremely angry.

However, Su Dingfang is not an outsider after all. If other people know that Li Ke is angry, they will naturally not touch Li Ke's bad luck. They just follow orders, but Su Dingfang is different.

Su Dingfang said: "Your Highness, Xue Yantuo's soldiers have already surrendered. If they are killed, they will probably be criticized. Being above the court is extremely disadvantageous to His Highness, and the killing of prisoners is unknown, which will also hinder His Highness."

What Su Dingfang said was based on the overall situation. The tens of thousands of Xue Yantuo's soldiers had already surrendered. If Li Ke insisted on killing them, he would definitely be impeached by hundreds of officials in the court and even be named as tyrannical, which would not be good for Li Ke.

But since Li Ke had said something, he naturally had his insistence. Li Ke said: "If these people don't kill them today, they will be my opponents in the Tang Dynasty when the King of Japan makes the Northern Expedition. For today's battle, the king has already folded. Losing thousands of sons, is it possible that if we fight again in the future, will this king still lose troops and generals for today's so-called benevolence?"

Li Ke paused, gritted his teeth, and continued: "What's more, tens of thousands of sons and daughters of my Tang Dynasty went north to fight against the enemy, but thousands of people were buried in the north. How can we let it go? This king will always give them an explanation, and give the elders of Hedong a Confess!"

Su Dingfang listened to Li Ke's words, looked at the murderous look in Li Ke's eyes, and seemed to sense the meaning of Li Ke's words. Obviously, Li Ke had other meanings.

Su Dingfang asked: "What does Your Highness mean?"

"Eliminate the evil and don't do it all. Since Xue Yantuo dared to enter the territory of our Tang Dynasty, this king will save their lives."

As he spoke, Li Ke leaned over from Dingbei's horse and took the tiger-headed Zhan golden gun hanging from it, held it high above the top, and shouted loudly: "This king's order, the whole army charges, this battle does not capture prisoners, only Merit is judged by the first level, and those who can behead the magnanimity will be promoted to five ranks, rewarded with a hundred catties, and a thousand acres of fertile land."

Li Ke is very clear that Li Ke was ordered by Li Shimin to go through the east of the river in order to destroy Xue Yantuo. Wan Xueyantuo's soldiers were all wiped out, thinking that they would pave the way for the Northern Expedition in the future.

As for the so-called "benevolent" name, it cannot help Li Ke win, let alone help Li Ke win the reserve position.What does Li Ke want?
"Promise!" Su Dingfang knew Li Ke's thoughts, Li Ke gave the order, Su Dingfang immediately agreed, waved the command flag in his hand, and the [-] soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were ordered to rush towards Xue Yantuo's army not far away.

The situation of the battle is changing rapidly, Li Ke can tell that the victory is already decided, and the generous setting on the other side can also be seen naturally.

Dadushe could see that with the aggressive advance of the Tang army, the battle had begun to end. At this time, Dadushe woke up. It turned out that the elite Xue Yantuo of Junji Mountain, which he was so proud of, was in front of the Tang army. It's just that.

Dadu She knew that he was too weak to return to the sky, looked at the remnant army in his hands, and had no capital to fight against the Tang army, so he had to abandon the former army, turned his horse and fled, and ran north.
