Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3541 Unfinished work
Tumidu is indeed an excellent leader. Under his encouragement, the morale of the coalition army composed of soldiers of various ethnic groups under his command was high and murderous, and Hengdao immediately vowed to completely block the Dashi army.

However, morale is important, but the most important thing in a war is the balance of power between the enemy and the enemy. Whether it is a strong morale or an ingenious ambush, all kinds of strategies are aimed at suppressing combat power at a certain point or at a certain moment, so as to win. .

Right now, the morale of the coalition forces of various ethnic groups is really strong, but what is helpless is that there are too many enemies. Besides, although the Dashi army has collapsed to this point, the defeated soldiers who are determined to survive see an army with various uniforms and different appearances. Their way of life, and they were not Tang people, suddenly burst out with a strong desire to survive, and organized themselves to launch a fierce offensive against the coalition forces of various ethnic groups in the dangerous pass.

Even though the coalition forces of various ethnic groups "one man guards the gate" caused heavy casualties to the defeated soldiers, their strong desire to survive still drove these defeated soldiers to launch wave after wave of attacks, which were endless and powerful like a tide!

Tu Midu was extremely surprised by the fighting strength and determination shown by the routs of the Dashi. He thought that there was only a difference in numbers between the two sides, but he didn't expect these routs to burst out with such a powerful fighting power when their lives were cut off.

Rabbits bite when they are in a hurry...

Unable to repent, he swung his sword and fought side by side with the soldiers under his command. He resisted the dangerous pass without retreating a single step, and was covered in blood. I can hope that the soldiers and horses arranged by me in the distance will reinforce in time, or that the cavalry of the Tang army can catch up sooner.

However, he also knew that the latter would probably take some time, because he had arranged for himself to guard the dangerous pass in advance, so the cavalry of the Tang army would definitely hunt down and gather the prisoners all the way, and the marching speed would inevitably be affected. By the time they arrived, he might have died of exhaustion... …

This dangerous pass is only a few feet wide, with towering mountains on both sides, and the road is even more rugged. Occupying the best location, but there are too many rout troops, they rushed up continuously, trying to escape.

No matter how brave the Huihe people are, they will be tired in the face of tens of thousands of porpoise dogs being slaughtered one by one, let alone facing tens of thousands of crazy routs?
The physical strength dropped rapidly, and it was difficult to maintain the integrity of the array. In an instant, the rout soldiers rushed into the pass, and the two sides fought in a melee.

Tumidu brandished a scimitar and charged left and right. He didn't know how much to kill. He only felt that his face was covered with hot blood, and everything he looked at seemed to be red.He also became ruthless, and led the soldiers under his command to gather in one place, forcibly blocked in the pass, and fought to the death without retreating.

But when they gathered in one place, there was a gap for the rout soldiers to escape. Countless rout soldiers flooded into the pass like a tide, and fled from the gaps on both sides.

When the other part of the coalition forces of various ethnic groups received the order to arrive, the rout soldiers had completely occupied the pass, so they could only form a formation in front of the pass and attack the rout soldiers who were still charging towards the pass.But there was no way to stop the routs on such an open field, and countless routs scattered, rushing towards the pass from all directions.

Tu Midu and his soldiers are more like the reefs in the tide to meet the turbulent waves. Fortunately, the rout soldiers can take advantage of the gap and escape, and they have no desire to fight. Arrow slashed wildly, but fled blindly.

When Xue Wanche led the cavalry all the way to chase and kill, the rout soldiers had already escaped from the pass. Seeing Tu Midu led more than a hundred surviving soldiers standing in the pass, supporting each other covered in blood. It was very heroic, but he still shouted angrily: "The commander-in-chief's military order has been issued, why did you divide the troops and cause the enemy to flee? Wait for the commander-in-chief to follow your military law!"

After saying that, he ignored the bloody but dejected coalition forces of various ethnic groups, and led the cavalry under his command to cross the pass and chase after the enemy's rout.

Tumidu stood in the pass, feeling the howling and raging cold wind, sighed, looked at the densely packed corpses in the pass, and said to the surviving soldiers and the other ordinary soldiers who finally rushed forward: "Gather the corpses of the clansmen!" , and then withdrew to Gongyue City to rest, and I will go to the commander-in-chief to confess the crime myself."

The soldiers of all ethnic groups looked at each other, feeling a little depressed, but they had nothing to say.

Although this battle was extremely tragic, more than a thousand soldiers led by Tu Midu were killed and wounded, and in the end there were only more than a hundred soldiers left, [-]% of them were killed, but they still fought to the death. Order, let the defeated soldiers escape from then on.

We all know that the military law of the Tang army is strict, and the punishment that Khan will face is very likely to be extremely severe...

But who can blame this?Tang Jun clearly warned not to underestimate the enemy, and he must stick to the pass to block the escape route of the rout, but Tu Midu decided to be smart and only led a small number of soldiers to set up an ambush here, causing the rout to escape.

It is conceivable that from this place all the way to Suiye City, the cavalry of the Tang Army had to chase and kill them for thousands of miles, and it was difficult to wipe out the enemy even if they paid a huge price.It was originally a complete victory, but because my side did not block the pass according to the military order, it fell short, and this guilt cannot be shirked.

He could only dismount silently, and began to search for the corpses of his clansmen among the corpses inside and outside the pass, and then gathered in one place, moving stones from the foot of the mountain to build a huge grave.

……

Inside the enemy camp, the aftermath was carried out in an orderly manner.

The big cannibals of this era have beliefs and killing intent, but they are seriously lacking in discipline. Once they are defeated, they are rarely able to fight to the death. From their point of view, it doesn't matter where they fall, as long as they can survive.As for whether they will be driven by Tang Jun to be cattle and horses, I don't care. Anyway, in the Dashi country, most of them are slaves, doing jobs that are not as good as cattle and sheep...

So when the defeat was irretrievable, especially when the generals couldn't find Ye Qide to listen to the "hadith", countless defeated soldiers took the initiative to put down their weapons and squatted down in the open area of ​​the camp, waiting Tang Jun came to capture, and there was no pointless resistance.

Even so, Fang Jun was very nervous, because there were too many prisoners...

The Anxi army and the Youtunwei together only have 10 to [-] troops. Even if you count the coalition forces of various ethnic groups who have been coerced and have been thinking carefully, the number will not reach [-]. The number of captives reached [-] to [-].

Can't the soldiers and horses under his command do nothing but take care of the prisoners, right?

Although so many captives are bowing their heads and ears at the moment, once they are stimulated, they will definitely form a huge threat. Even if they are unarmed, the consequences of rioting will be extremely serious.

So he marked out a few places around the camp and around Gongyue City to guard these prisoners separately, and then asked the army to prepare enough food. It doesn't matter what kind of food, but it is very important to let these prisoners have a full meal. important.

When people are full, they will always be weak-willed, lazy and sluggish. On the contrary, hunger can stimulate people's emotions and make them easily agitated...

What's more, whether it is the Tang army or the Dashi army, for the soldiers at the bottom, isn't it just for this meal?
As long as you can eat enough, nothing is a problem.

It wasn't until noon that the urgent matters were arranged properly. Fang Jun was full of energy and was not tired. The generals and school under his command were in a hurry, but they couldn't hide their excitement.

I thought that the current situation was a confrontation between the two armies, and I don't know when it will end. After all, there are countless battles between the two armies, not to mention the waste of money, food, and supplies.

As a result, a surprise attack suddenly killed the Dashi army of more than [-] people, and they fled in embarrassment. It depends on the battle!

It is simply a monstrous achievement!

Unsurprisingly, the Anxi Army and Youtunwei had countless meritorious service recipients, and the money and silk rewards were even richer. Not only were they full of glory, but they also made a lot of money.What are you fighting for?It is false to defend the country and defend the frontiers, but it is even simpler to tell the truth. Officers want to keep their wives and children, and soldiers want to get promoted and get rich!
Such feats naturally boosted the spirits and morale of the whole army!
Fang Jun was also very satisfied, defeated the Dashi army, and let Tu Midu intercept the route that must be passed by the defeated army. He only needs to kill or capture most of them, even if there are some fish that slip through the net. There will be no more food troops in the Western Regions.
