Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 548: Beating Her Until Her Mother Couldn’t Recognize Her

Three thousand Han cavalry rushed out like a gust of wind, went straight to the enemy's rear, and started their harvest.

Cavalry is used to divide the battlefield. These light cavalry are even more efficient than heavy cavalry in the current situation. When the horses are exhausted, they retreat, then go back to the rear to change horses and fight again. Even without using any force, the scimitar in their hands can spin off heads one after another with the help of the impact force of the horses.

"Thirty thousand heavily armored infantrymen!!!"

On the way to evacuation, Ashina yelled at Han Can beside him at the top of his lungs: "Thirty thousand!!!"

Han Can next to him was also pale at this moment. How could he have imagined that 30,000 heavily armored infantrymen could emerge from a randomly assembled army? This thing would have no rivals on the battlefield except for armored cavalry. Even light cavalry couldn't reach it.

"Your Highness, regroup!"

Reorganize? It was not so easy to reorganize. After a fierce battle until nightfall, less than 60,000 of the 140,000 Turkic soldiers escaped, and the Jing River was blocked by Turkic soldiers who jumped into the river and drowned.

In fact, not many people were killed. The real casualties came from their own trampling and jumping into the river. The Jing River was cold and deep in spring, with some ice that was about to thaw. People jumped into the river in panic. No matter how familiar they were with the water, they would suffer from hypothermia and convulsions, and there was basically no hope of being saved. Those who did not have any problems would be held tightly by other people who had problems after jumping into the river, and would have no chance of swimming to the other side.

The sky gradually darkened and the pursuit stopped, but the work of counting the battlefield was still proceeding in an orderly manner.

The two city gate generals of Li Tang have now become Granny Liu who entered the Grand View Garden. Everything they catch is new to them.

They had never experienced this before. In the past, when the two of them fought, it was considered a great victory if they could kill 800 of the enemy in one day. But today they saw for the first time what a battlefield meat grinder was. People died like dumplings, and human life was as cheap as paper.

"Even if we had 80,000 pigs, it wouldn't be that fast."

"Yes, most of these people were frightened to death."

"Anyone would be scared to death, but didn't you see it just now? If it were you, would you have a good solution?"

The two chatted while counting the goods. The taller one suddenly sighed: "It's a good thing that Commander Xia didn't attack Chang'an."

These words silenced the two men, who lowered their heads to work silently. They were the guards of the city gates. If Xia Lin attacked Chang'an, with a group of Xu Jin barrages of white phosphorus projectiles, could they withstand it? Didn't they have any idea of ​​what was going on?
At this moment, Ashina had already rushed to a distance of forty miles with the remnants of his troops and began to reorganize the camp for rest. However, he had no food or supplies, and his soldiers had no horses or armor. In order to run faster, they threw away their armor and weapons. Sixty thousand people sat in the dark and cold valley, not even daring to light a fire.

Why don't you dare to click? Afraid of being caught up and posting comments...

The young general sat there crying, while Han Can beside him lowered his head and said nothing. They had never seen such a tactic, let alone soldiers so elite. The bloodstained heavy armored soldiers had become the nightmare of all Turkic soldiers.

Oh, and there’s the summer flag fluttering in the wind.

"Prince." Han Can suddenly spoke.

Ashina wiped her tears and looked up at him: "Anything else you want to say?"

"Yeah." Han Can took a deep breath: "Luckily we didn't massacre the city."

This one sentence made Ashina stop talking.

Because at the beginning Ashina said that he wanted to massacre the eight cities to establish his authority, but now it seems that if he massacres the cities, they may not even have the chance to surrender.

One hundred and fourteen thousand! One hundred and fourteen thousand! Eighty thousand were killed in one day, all the horses were lost, all the food and fodder were gone, all the weapons and armor were wasted.

He himself didn't know how he fought this battle, and the military strategy also didn't mention such a scene.

What? Are military strategies used to deceive foreigners?
"Senior, what do you think about us making a surprise attack tomorrow?"

The Han Can silently raised his head and looked at him, then silently lowered his head again.

"Speak up, say something."

Han Can was silent for a long time before he finally spoke: "Your Highness, if you don't want to be chased to death, you should retreat now and make long-term plans. The strength of the Xia army is somewhat... hard to describe. This... this..."

Han Can was actually a person sent by a noble family in Chang'an, and he was also a powerful lieutenant general. His tactics were actually not wrong. He used the method of pretending to be real while pretending to be false, and pretending to be real while pretending to be false. After the first round of probing, he would start with harassment, intercepting the central army, night attacks, and even fire attacks.

But apparently they didn't give him the chance. After repelling the first wave of attack, they followed him and charged straight into the main camp. Not only that, they also pierced through the entire camp.

Especially their weird weapons, no one knew what they were, they could explode and burn, and neither people nor horses could withstand such shock. This has never appeared in any military books from ancient times to the present.

Not to mention the 30,000 heavy armors.

That’s thirty thousand!

One heavy-armored soldier is more courageous than ten light-infantry soldiers. If 30,000 heavy-armored soldiers come charging at him, it would be like a mountain collapsing towards him. Without heavy cavalry...

No, even if we have heavy cavalry it won't work. Three thousand heavy cavalry with ten thousand heavy armors would be fine, but these thirty thousand heavy armors also have powerful crossbows, so the heavy cavalry won't be able to even fight them.

Thirty thousand heavy armors! How much money does it take to raise this team? Didn’t the Green Forest Army only last a little over a year?
A team with a little over a year has 30,000 heavy armors, right?
Thinking of this, I looked back at the young Turkic master. He might indeed be the best among the young people, and he was calm and collected, but after all, there is a saying that goes "born at the wrong time".

But it was not his fault. He encountered such a monster in his first battle. It was unexpected. Judging from the current results, there were probably few people in the world who could survive under such offensive efficiency. The army collapsed at the first touch. This seemed to have triggered some kind of achievement...

When it was just dawn, the remaining Turkic troops began to move rapidly northward, not daring to stay for a moment. This time their decision was correct, because the Han army's light cavalry caught up with them not long after they left, but due to the number of the enemy, the light cavalry did not continue the pursuit and returned to report.

Xia Lin's order was also very direct, that is, continue to go north and chase! Chase them until the end of time. If we don't teach them a lesson, they won't know that some places are not places they can come and go as they please.

And three days later, a fast horse rushed into Chang'an City.

"Great victory! Great victory!!!"

The messenger shouted all the way, raising a cloud of dust along the way.

"Great victory!"

The only people who are qualified to ride a horse in Chang'an City are the battle reports.

Countless people on the long street heard the sound and leaned out to see what was going on, only to see three flags behind the messenger and a horse galloping past.

"A great victory? Did we drive the barbarians away?"

"Of course, I just wonder who is the commander. He must be quite capable. I heard that the Turks are preparing for war this time, so they are difficult to deal with."

"Never mind, we'll know in a few days."

Other people's scrutiny could not stop the gallop of the horse. The young official rushed all the way into the Xuanwu Gate and went straight to the main hall of the Li Tang Imperial Palace.

"Good news from the front!"

Li Yuan was in the court at the time. He even stood up from the dragon throne when he heard this. The eunuchs under his seat immediately shouted: "Announce!"

The dusty young official rushed into the hall and knelt before Li Yuan, but he was unable to speak for several times. Li Yuan raised his hand and said, "Give me water!"

The officer took the kettle and drank a lot, then he was able to speak: "Your Majesty! The Marquis of Changsha County won a great victory in the north, killing 80,000 enemies on the first day. On the day the order was issued, the Marquis of Changsha County had led his troops north to pursue the enemy."

Every word was in Mandarin, but it sounded so strange to Li Yuan's ears.

Seize... Seize less? Kill 80,000 enemies on the first day? What does that mean? The 140,000 Western Turks were actually 10,000 people driving 130,000 pigs?

That's not right. Even if there are 80,000 pigs, they cannot be killed in one day.

In fact, not only Li Yuan, but everyone else was also stunned. Everyone began to doubt their ears. In the first battle, they killed 80,000 people? And then they started to chase them all the way north?

"Do you know what crime you will be punished for for reporting false military intelligence?" Li Yuan asked sternly.

The young commander immediately took out the battle report from his bosom and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look."

Li Yuan asked the chief eunuch to bring the battle report. He tore open the wax seal and unfolded it, which contained the detailed battle report presented by the accompanying military supervisor. After reading it, Li Yuan sucked his teeth.

"He's already been beaten to such a state, why is he still determined to go north?"

"The Marquis of Changsha said, 'It is better to pursue the enemy with your remaining courage, rather than to seek fame by imitating the tyrant.'"

hiss……

Li Yuan scratched his head. His first thought was not happiness but whether he should transfer Er Feng back to defend Chang'an. With such combat effectiveness, if the Green Forest Army turned around to attack Chang'an, they would most likely not be able to hold it.

At this moment, the ministers below were also deathly silent, but they were more afraid, because if the Western Turks were defeated, they would soon be liquidated by Li Yuan.

The best way at the moment is to raise an army in the city. Since Li Yuan came to power in an illegitimate way anyway, there is nothing wrong with replacing him.

But the problem is that the military power of Chang'an is in the hands of Sanniang. No one dares to move unless Sanniang takes action. Now it's obvious that the masterminds behind this incident are going to be imprisoned in Chang'an and killed.

As expected, after reading the battle report, Li Yuan's expression changed on the spot. His gaze passed over the report and swept across the faces of all the civil and military officials in the court. Finally, he smiled, but he said nothing, just raised his hand slightly.

"Retreat."

This move made the people under him panic, and in almost an instant they seemed to have lost their backbone. You know, they had originally planned to force Li Yuan to achieve their political goals by defeating the foreign invasion.

But now, 80,000 foreigners were killed in one day, and were chased to the north like dogs. Everyone knew what Li Yuan would do next.

As long as the evidence is conclusive, Li Yuan is not Emperor Hongbao, he will really kill people.
