Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 109 Bloody Battle on Grassland II
Feng Daiwen didn't know that the patriarch on the other side had run away, and was still rushing madly. It wasn't until the cavalry charged into the tribe that they realized that there were not many people resisting. Tunnel ordered to surrender, and all the soldiers were forced to learn a few Turkic words, so the soldiers immediately He shouted loudly: "Kneel down and surrender, put down your weapon, surrender without killing," and the words resounded through the sky for a while.

With the cavalry rushing in, Datang's persuasion to surrender, and the disappearance of the tribal patriarch, the Turkic people who had no one to lead quickly dropped their weapons and surrendered on their knees.

Ashnadullah fled with more than 1000 personal guards, and hundreds of other people joined him on the way. It was his bad luck, so he chose the direction bought by Xi Jun.Xi Junmai brought 3000 people and before he saw the Turkic camp, he saw a team of cavalry rushing forward, and found that there were only more than 1000 people. He shouted excitedly: "Kill them all, don't let any one go." After taking the lead, rush.

The cavalrymen followed up one after another, raising their crossbows and drawing their knives at the same place where the arrow hit, this is the combat habit of the Tang army.After all, the Han people are definitely not as good at riding and shooting as the grassland nomads.Tang crossbow arrows have a longer range and greater power than Turkic bows and arrows. There was a rain of arrows, and more than 100 people in the front of the Turks fell off their horses, and many arrows hit the back. The Turks also counterattacked with bows and arrows, but they were all projectiles. For the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they only needed to raise their hands to protect their faces, and only a few unlucky ones were slightly injured.

Xi Junmai charged with his head down, threw the cavalry behind him far away, broke into the enemy's formation at once, swung his double hammers, and shot down several people in succession. Suddenly, the horse hissed long and hard. , Jump off the horse and sweep with double hammers, standing on the ground is not high enough, Xi Junbuy doesn't care so much, he specializes in hitting the horse, and with one hammer, the horse and the knight on it are all knocked down.

Xi Junmai killed happily, but there were too many Turkic people, and he didn't advance much for a while, but with him attracting in front, the cavalry behind him rushed up quickly, and the new steel knife was not too happy to chop people, but also Therefore, if you fight more with less, with one charge, only half of the Turkic people will be left, and everyone will be injured.

"Stop them, block them," Ashnadullah said loudly in fear.

"Patriarch, let's go, let's go," the head of the guard shouted when he saw Tang Jun rushing over again, and after shouting, he shook his machete tightly and rushed towards Tang Jun.

Ashnadullah swiped the machete at the horse's buttocks and ran away without knowing it.

Xi Jun bought no horses. He was in the middle of the battlefield when he saw a Turkic man wanting to run away. He was so anxious that he waved his hammers repeatedly, opening a gap. The horse couldn't catch up, and the right hand made a circle, and the hammer in his hand flew out like a shooting star, hitting Ashnadulla just in time.

"Patriarch," the Turkic people around saw that the patriarch was shot down from his horse, and they all knew that there was no reason to survive, so they all bought and killed Mr. Xi desperately. Fortunately, the Tang cavalry rushed up quickly, without begging for mercy. There were only roars and screams of pain. The battle ended quickly, and none of the Turks survived. Xi Junmai arranged for some injured people to clean up the battlefield, and hurriedly led them to the Turkic tribe.

The battlefield has calmed down, there have been cavalry cruising outside, and no one has escaped. Those who should be treated are being treated, and those who should be cleaned are cleaning the battlefield. Turkic prisoners are being escorted to dig pits to bury their bodies. Do these things many times.

"Brothers are casualties, can the Turkic people arrange it properly?" In order to teach these brothers, Feng Daiwen arranged for them to do things after the battle. Of course, like Feng Daihuo, he could only do the task of guarding the prisoners.

Several people looked at each other, and Yuchi Baolin said: "General, 168 people were killed in the battle, they have been cremated, 60 people were seriously injured, and 480 people were slightly injured. This will not affect the subsequent battle."

"Have you understood how the casualties are? I'll do my best to avoid them in the future." Feng Daiwen rubbed his forehead, never expecting so many people to die in an easy battle.

"I have counted, some were killed by heavy weapons, some were trampled to death by knocked off horses, and some unlucky ones were accidentally shot to death by arrows." Yuchi Baolin replied.

"Well, remember that no matter how big or small things are, you must sum up your experience and avoid making the same mistakes in the future." Feng Daiwen said seriously to several people.

"Thank you General, I will remember it later." Several people said gratefully.

"The Turkic people have taken care of them, the corpses have been buried, the wounded brothers have been bandaged, the battlefield has been cleaned up, the arrows that can be used continue to be used, the weapons and equipment have been checked, and the battle can continue at any time." Cheng Chumohui reported.

"Yes, weapons and equipment are the second life on the battlefield, so after the battle, they must be inspected, repaired, and prepared at any time. During the march, raw water must not be drunk, it must be boiled, and the corpse must be burned if it is not buried. Otherwise, epidemics will easily occur. , especially in summer, when the weather is hot, if it is not dealt with properly, the plague will inevitably occur," Feng Daiwen said solemnly to several people.

Everyone knew about the horror of the plague, and it could be said that their faces changed after hearing about it. They didn't expect that He Shengshui would have such a serious consequence, so they hurriedly said: "We will always remember the general's teaching."

"You are all my own brothers. I don't want to see you being carried back one day, so remember, hygiene is the most important thing. In the military camp, everyone must take a bath every day, and their clothes must be changed frequently. Cook it well, so that most of the plague can be avoided, and it can also reduce illness." Seeing that a few people listened carefully, Feng Daiwen explained a little more to them.

"General, I have asked." Li Zhengbao said excitedly.

"Oh, tell me," Feng Daiwen motioned for Li Zhengbao to sit down and talk.

"General, look, according to the captives, Tuli Khan was defeated and was coming towards us. This tribe is an uncle of Tuli, and a letter was found, which was sent by Tuli. Please ask his uncle to intercede for him, so that Jieli will not be exterminated." Li Zhengbao took out a letter and said.

"Very good, let the scouts out, let's wait for work, don't rush on the road, let the brothers have a good rest, and continue on the road tomorrow." Feng Daiwen ordered.

Restoring overnight, leaving manpower to guard, Feng Daiwen continued on his way with 23000 people. There were too many prisoners and wounded here, so we had to keep a little more manpower. There were so many war horses, and there was one man with two horses. Let the war horses drag the snow Rake, this way the horse is also very relaxed, and can put more supplies, and walk slowly all the way, waiting for the news of the horse.
