Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1356
A team of 50 people eats a horse.

The wind stopped and the snow stopped.

On the bank of the Heihe River, the Qin army camped by the mountains and rivers, slaughtered and injured horses, skinned them and stewed them.

Rock held a piece of horse meat in his hand, and chewed it. He didn't say a word, biting and chewing the horse meat fiercely.Duan Zhixuan and other generals could see that he was in a bad mood, so they didn't bother him.

The taste of boiled horse meat is average, even slightly sour, and the meat is still raw.But in this windy and snowy field, it's not bad to be able to eat hot food. Everyone let go of their stomachs and ate it.

If you are full of horse meat, have a bowl of hot horse meat soup.

Rock stood up and wiped his mouth.

"How many prisoners are there?"

"About [-]." Rothmo replied. Yesterday's bloody battle made him admire the young Rockyong.If it were him to play, it would be difficult to achieve such a good record.

Eight thousand militiamen and 3000 government soldiers faced [-] Xue Yantuo soldiers. As a result, they not only withstood the opponent's strong attack, but also beheaded more than [-] people and captured more than [-] people. The militiamen suffered more than [-] casualties, and the government soldiers suffered more than [-] casualties.

Among them, there were more than 1000 casualties of the militia, and most of them were casualties in the first battle.

In this battle by the Negro River, one was against three, but the casualty ratio was one to thirty.

It can be called a battle example that can be included in the textbook of Luoyang Jiangwu Hall.

"Jinglue, the whole army of Nishi has already run northward. They ran in a hurry and were a little embarrassed. They slaughtered all the livestock in the camp overnight and left with the meat."

Reported by Duan Zhixuan.

"Are the brothers full?" Rocky asked.

"Well, I'm full."

In yesterday's battle, many horses were killed and injured, and Rock directly ordered the slaughter of horses for meat.

"Pack up and continue to chase!"

"What about the wounded and prisoners?"

Rock looked at Simo.

"Mr. Shun Guo, you still have more than 6000 militiamen. I would like you to lead the Shuofang militiamen and stay here to take care of the wounded soldiers in the army, and at the same time guard the prisoners."

Simo shook his head.

He didn't want to do the job.

"If you want to chase Nishi, I will go with you."

None of them thought that there were more than [-] people in Nisha at this time, maybe they didn't care at all.

"There are still many captives and wounded soldiers here!" Rock said.

"The wounded soldiers can stay here first, and let the slightly wounded take care of the seriously wounded. As for the captives, they can just be killed." Simo said very bluntly.

The more than [-] captives of Xue Yantuo's various tribes are all young and strong soldiers, and these people are also the same clan used by Luo Ke.

He shook his head.

"They are already our captives, there is no need to kill them here."

"Then you arrange another person to stay here, anyway, our Shuofang militiamen have to catch up with Niguo to take revenge!"

Rothmo had suffered such a big loss in the first round, and now he is still brooding about it.

Luo Simo was the chief envoy of Shuofang, and he was leading the militia of Shuofang, not the Northern Expeditionary Army, so he refused to listen to Luo Keyong's arrangement, and Luo Keyong was also a little helpless, he couldn't always bring out Shangfang's sword.

In the end, it was Duan Zhixuan who came up with an idea, and it was a smooth sailing.

From the two armies, some soldiers who were slightly injured in the battle and soldiers with frostbite during the march were arranged to stay behind to take care of the seriously wounded and guard the prisoners.

Because of the cold and snowy weather, they temporarily stayed in this temporary camp.

Excluding the 5000 or so soldiers who died in battle, there were still about [-] soldiers in the army at this time, and there were hundreds of seriously wounded, and then hundreds of lightly wounded were pulled out to stay behind.

There are about [-] soldiers and horses left.

Six thousand militiamen, more than four thousand cavalry, and more than twelve thousand infantry.

"Chop off the heads and keep them safe."

Luo Ke got up and confessed to joining the army, "The achievements of the soldiers must be recorded well, and they will ask the emperor for their success later!"

A soldier asked in a low voice.

"It's so cold outside, do you still want to continue chasing them? If you want to run away with all your heart, it's hard to chase them. Once they enter the desert, we can't chase them all the way to Mobei?"

"Especially now that he still has more than [-] soldiers, more than [-] soldiers, and more than [-] servants. With our small force, it is very dangerous to go deep alone."

"General Yuchi and the others are coming, we are not alone!" Rockyong was very confident.

Although it was inconvenient to communicate on the grassland, and he didn't know where Yu Chigong's soldiers and horses had gone, and whether they could stop Niyu, Rocky decided to pursue them according to the original plan.

"Chase!"

After the full meal, Qin Jun attacked again.

The [-] slightly injured soldiers who were named and left behind were all swearing and unwilling, and whoever didn't want to continue chasing them would be able to make great contributions.

But being thrown here now, although guarding the captives and treating the seriously wounded soldiers is also a credit, but how can it compare with chasing and annihilating Xue Yantuo's main force and capturing the mud.

But scolding is all about scolding, and everyone is just complaining. This is a military order, and the military order is like a mountain, and no one dares to violate it.

The soldiers who continued to pursue got on their horses and continued to move forward.

The snow was very thick. Fortunately, the militiamen and government soldiers had horses, and even the infantry were equipped with mounts. Although the snow was thick, having horses still greatly accelerated the marching speed.

Rocky was riding on the horse, and he was not in the slightest mood as if he had just won a big victory.

In yesterday's battle, more than 8000 people from Xue Yantuo's tribes died, and nearly 1 from the Qin army. On this vast grassland outside the Great Wall, by the bank of the Black River, [-] soldiers died in this way. .

He kept reminding himself in his heart that he was the adopted son of the Great Qin Emperor, and now he is the envoy of Mobei Road, the commander of Zuo Dudu, and the Duke of Yudu County of Great Qin.

The two soldiers and horses continued to chase on the vast snowfield.

On one side are the 22 Great Qin Northern Expeditionary Army, and on the other side are [-] soldiers and herdsmen from various tribes of Xue Yantuo.Although Xue Yantuo had many soldiers and horses, he was frightened by the Heihe River. He didn't dare to stay or turn back. He just ran northward blindly.

However, the Northern Qin Expeditionary Army, which was only a fraction of Xue Yantuo's army, was chasing after him.

Another ten consecutive days of pursuit.

During these ten days, the two armies braved the wind and snow and suffered a lot.

But the two armies were hanging one after the other, but they never fought.

Xue Yantuo didn't dare to turn back, but Luo Keyong was waiting for Yu Chigong's troops.

Ahead is the edge of the desert.

"Haven't you found General Yuchi's troops yet?"

"no!"

Scouting returns.

Roque looked north.

"Commander, if you don't attack, the Xue Yantuo people are about to enter Mobei. Let's pursue them lightly and carry limited food and grass, so we don't dare to chase into the depths of the desert. If we want to fight, we can only go now."

"It seems we can't wait for General Yuchi, General Duan."

"The end is here!"

"Please lead the light cavalry to attack first, and I will lead the infantry to follow!" Rock returned to Mobei with no intention of letting the mud go.

"Commander, the two troops of Yu Chigong and Li Daliang have not yet arrived, so we will attack by ourselves. Is it too risky to attack ten with one?" A general reminded.

"The saints often say that when you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Although Xue Yantuo has many people, they are already discouraged."

"Blow the horn, beat the drum!"

"attack!"
