Chapter 970
Unlike fighting in the country, in a foreign country, you need to be cautious and step by step in combat.

Although the Guishuang Mongolian soldiers and horses were defeated, their main force still remained. Therefore, Li Cunxiao and Zhao Yun did not advocate continuing to pursue them. Instead, they cleared out the enemies on the battlefield first, and then returned to occupy Yu Chengcheng to prevent food supply from being unstable.

It wasn't until evening that the fierce battle ended. The snow that was originally pure white was now stained with a layer of scarlet, and blood covered the surrounding snow for miles, with corpses strewn across the field like a Shura Arena.

Although the enemy had all retreated, the Han army was still busy. Li Cunxiao divided his troops into two groups, one to set up camp near the battlefield, and the other to clear the battlefield.

After an hour, the camp was built and the soldiers cleaned up the battlefield. The captain who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield came to the tent and reported to Zhao Yun and Li Cunxiao: "I want to report to the generals that our army cleaned the battlefield. The Frost Soldiers injured more than 2 people, the Mongols suffered more than 4000 casualties, and the enemy army suffered a total of more than [-] casualties. Our army suffered [-] casualties.”

Because Mongolia brought cavalry this time, and Guishuang's soldiers and horses were infantry and cavalry regiments.Previously on the battlefield, the cavalry could retreat quickly to break through, but Guishuang had a large number of infantry who could not retreat.This also led to heavy losses of Guishuang's soldiers and horses, with nearly [-] casualties, while Mongolian casualties were less than a quarter of Guishuang's.

Zhao Yun's handsome face was full of grief, and he ordered: "It's freezing cold today, and the corpses are not easy to perish. Send the brothers' corpses back to Yu Chengcheng first, and wait for the pawns behind me to arrive, and slowly send them back to Yu Chengcheng." Burial in Xizhou. Our big man, who died in battle in a foreign country, needs to be buried in his hometown with the highest honor of a shroud of horse leather."

Li Cunxiao was also silent on the side. This battle was not like previous battles, but to defend the glory of the big man.It's worth it, for a little conflict with Guishuang, thousands of soldiers died, and those who died were wronged.

It's not worth it, but the majesty of the big man cannot be violated. Anyone who dares to offend will be punished even if he is far away.Therefore, even though he defeated the enemy, Li Cunxiao felt mixed feelings and felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

As the highest general present, Zhao Yun saw that the generals were depressed, and said loudly: "You don't have to be like this. General Chen Tang once said that anyone who dares to offend us will be punished even if he is far away. But these years, there are still many foreign enemies. Invade my Han territory. Now His Majesty dominates the Han and restores the mountains and rivers.

Guishuang dares to offend my big man, so he will do what he says, even if he is far away, these soldiers will die for the glory of my big man, die gloriously, die bravely, and die well.Even if one day I, Zhao Yun, unfortunately die in battle, I am willing, because I want foreign enemies to remember that anyone who dares to offend me will be punished no matter how far away.

All soldiers, cheer me up, I will not destroy Guishuang, and I will never return it! "

"Immortal Guishuang, never return!"

"Immortal Guishuang, never return!"

After Zhao Yun's encouragement, the morale of the Han army broke out again. They didn't know why they fought before, but now they know that they want to fight for the glory of the big man.Let the foreign enemies who dare to invade the strong man know that those who dare to attack our strong man will be punished even if they are far away!

The next day!

The Han army buried the corpses of Guishuang and the Mongolian soldiers hastily, and the corpses of the Han army's fallen soldiers were taken to Yu Chengcheng.When the main infantry from the rear arrived, they were slowly sent back to the Han mainland for burial.

At this moment, the Guishuang Mongolian soldiers and horses in Yucheng City had already fled, and it became an empty city, and the Han army entered the city.Zhao Yun immediately sent cavalry to Guishan City to inquire about the situation.

At the same time, he ordered Zhensheng to take the big Han soldiers and horses to a nearby city to beg for food and grass.

Today, the weather is cold, and every grain of the grain and grass transported by the Han army from Xizhou was sent by a large number of civilians, which is very precious.

Now there are nearly 6 soldiers and horses in Guishuang, Mongolia, which cannot be defeated in a day, so the Han army must have sufficient food and grass.However, there are plenty of food and grass in the cities near Dawan, so it is better not to waste the people's power of Xizhou to use the food and grass in Dawan.

The [-] infantry brought by Zhao Yun from Xizhou also rushed to Yu Chengcheng to join the main force of the Han army.The Han army mobilized a large number of people to collect food and grass from nearby cities. After a few days, they accumulated a large amount of food and grass, which was enough for the Han army to last for several months. After the guarantee was secured, the Han army continued to advance westward.

Zhao Yun led Baima Yicong and [-] infantry, Li Cunxiao and Chang Mao led about [-] cavalry, and Shi Jiantang led [-] infantry to guard Yucheng City, responsible for the supply of food and grass for the frontline soldiers and horses.

Three days later, the Han army arrived at Yucheng City, set up camp outside the city, and confronted the Guishuang Mongolian coalition forces.

Guishuang and the Mongolian coalition forces totaled 2 people. About [-] people were killed in the defeat a few days ago. Now there are only [-] people left in Guishuang, while the Mongolian cavalry has more than [-] people.

On the side of the Han army, there were [-] soldiers and horses, and there were [-] soldiers and horses from Dawan in Guishan City. In this way, the Han army had an advantage in terms of military strength.Not only that, Guishuang's attack on Dawan was a war of aggression, and it was an expedition to attack a foreign country.In terms of weather, location, and people, there are no advantages in the three aspects.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides confront each other, and the King of Dawan in Guishan City is overjoyed. Now that the reinforcements from the Han army have arrived, they have already surpassed Guishuang in terms of strength, so Dawan will be saved.

Different from the freezing weather outside, the stove in the Han army camp kept the whole camp very warm. The generals of the Han army gathered together to discuss the strategy of defeating the enemy.

"General An and I inspected Guishuang and the Mongolian camps from a high place before. The defenses are very tight. Even if the Dawan soldiers and horses in Guishan City go out to besiege with our army, I am afraid it will be difficult to break through their camps. I don't know if you have any. What is the strategy to defeat the enemy?" Zhao Yun looked at the generals and asked.

All the generals frowned and said nothing. Now that the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty are going to fight in foreign countries, every step of the plan needs to be cautious.The casualties of the soldiers should be minimized, but if they want to break through the enemy camp, they can only attack by force, so the generals dare not say such words, they cannot afford the casualties.

Seeing that all the generals were silent, Chang Mao stood up and said, "General, the last general is willing to go out to challenge the camp and suppress the morale of the enemy."

Zhao Yun shook his head again and again, and said: "Guishuang and the Mongolian soldiers and horses are afraid of our big man generals like tigers. When commanding soldiers and horses to fight, the generals and school don't dare to show their faces. If you go to call for battle, how can they dare to respond?"

"Then what should we do? Is it possible to just wait? Can Guishuang and Mongolia increase their troops?" Chang Mao said with a curl of his lips.

Zhao Yun said in a deep voice: "Of course we can't be so passive. When it comes to increasing troops, not only Mongolia, but Guishuang have soldiers to send, and we also have helpers."

"Zilong, are you talking about Kangju?" Li Cunxiao looked at Zhao Yun and asked.

"That's right, Kangju's strength is still higher than Dawan's. There are 50 people and [-] soldiers and horses, and Kangju is also on good terms with me. Now Guishuang and Mongolia are attacking Dawan. Asking for help, I'm afraid he won't sit idly by." Zhao Yun nodded and said.

"Yeah!" Li Cunxiao nodded when he heard the words: "This is a good strategy, but Kangju is in the west, and the camp of the Guishuang Mongolian Army stands on the road to the west, and their soldiers and horses block the road. We The army wants to send people to ask for help and report, but I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for them to send troops to chase and kill them."

Hearing this, Chang Mao hurriedly asked for a fight: "General Zhao, master, let me lead a troop to Kangju to borrow troops!"

"You?" Li Cunxiao shook his head again and again: "You have a reckless personality. If someone says something bad, you will get angry. I'm afraid that if you can't borrow soldiers, you will hate Kangju and have a grudge with Kangju. You should take on such a heavy responsibility. Sorry!"

"How can I..." Chang Mao scratched his head and wanted to argue, but seeing Li Cunxiao and Zhao Yun's distrustful eyes, he kept silent.

Li Cunxiao pondered for a while and said: "If this is the case, Zilong, I will personally lead an elite team to Kangju to borrow troops. Even if Mongolia sends cavalry to chase after it, it will not help. You and Chang Mao will lead the main force to go there later. Guishuang camp challenged to attract its main force, and I led an elite team to break through their interception from the flank and head to Kangju."

"That's fine, I just have to go for you personally." Zhao Yun pondered for a while, then nodded and agreed.
