Chapter 985 Breaking the enemy is in the present (2)
When he saw the five thousand elite cavalry who were left behind in the camp actively fighting against the Vietnamese army under the leadership of the Khan, the main force of Gui Rong, who was being entangled by the main force of the Vietnamese army, was motivated by the morale of the Vietnamese army, and began to fight with the Vietnamese army again, gradually regaining some initiatives, and even possible to kill the trapped formation.
But soon afterwards, the battle situation ahead took a sharp turn. The five thousand elite soldiers were not only defeated, but also suffered extremely miserable defeat. They almost collapsed and scattered, without fighting spirit, and were only concerned about escaping. Even the wolf-headed bare that had been standing in the army was abandoned by the defeated army at will. It was really clear what this meant.
It was their great khan, the Mobei Xiongzhu who swept the grassland with his power and united the tribes, had an accident, and he might even die on the spot!
When this idea emerged from the hearts of all the Guirong cavalrymen, their fighting spirit that had just been raised was immediately discouraged, and their offensive slowed down. This change was naturally quickly captured by the Vietnamese army. Sun Bi, who was in the middle of the team, made a quick decision, drew his sword and pointed his finger, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, it's time to defeat the enemy and take revenge. It's time to make achievements, fight with me!"
With the roar, he had already rode his horse and rushed forward, which was like taking the lead and killing towards the enemy formation.
Whether it is the personal soldiers or ordinary border troops around, when Sun Bi, who is the head coach and the prince, was launched a charge, how could he dare to be negligent? At that moment, they were also shouting, like a group of beasts, urging horses or rushing away two retreats, and rushing straight towards the enemy ahead as fast as possible.
The morale of both sides suddenly increased and weakened. Seeing that the Vietnamese army was more powerful, even as strong as the Guirong people, they were panicked. First, a group of people in front were quickly crushed and killed, and then the soldiers and horses in the back began to panic. Driven by the few people screaming and turning their heads and fleeing, the others nearby also made the same choice.
As the saying goes, the defeat is like a mountain, and after being hit by setbacks one after another, the possibility of final victory was lost. This Guirong army of tens of thousands of people completely lost the courage to fight to the death. Now everyone has only one thought left in their hearts, that is, to run away from this place of defeat, and stay away from these terrible Vietnamese soldiers.
Although some generals and clan leaders in the middle tried to stop and stop them, when the situation was over, it was impossible for a few people to turn the world around. In the end, they were either encircled to escape in all directions, or simply were injured and dropped by the defeated soldiers, and then died under the swords and hooves of their own tribesmen.
Seeing this, the Yue army was even more overjoyed. Now there was no need for generals such as Sun Bi to urge them. All the soldiers shouted, waved their weapons, and chased the enemy and killed them.
The only shortcoming is that most of the escaped Guirong people are cavalrymen. The four-legged horses are really out of sex, and they are really not something that two-legged people can catch up. However, as long as they are caught up, they will cut them over with the people and horses, and even a captive is not needed.
At the same time, Shen Chongshan beside Sun Bi also came to his senses from his trance, and did not care about any other thoughts, and immediately shouted loudly: "Boundist, shoot arrows, shoot their horses!" At this time, the only one who could leave the enemy to escape was the only long-range attack bow and arrow.
Under his reminder, the generals around him also shouted. For a moment, countless arrows shot towards the enemies running in all directions. With screams, people kept falling off the horse and then being killed by the Vietnamese troops who were rushing to the scene. However, this was a little late after all, and those who ran faster had already escaped the range of the bow and arrow.
But at this time, Di Jingfei led the cavalry to encircle the front. After defeating the five thousand enemy troops in one fell swoop, he did not bit the defeated army. Because he knew very well that the real big head was behind him, and only by completely defeating the main force of Gui Rong could the battle be considered a real victory.
Of course, he didn't know that it was because of his choice that he let go of Gui Rong Da Khan, who had just taken the horse and ran away, allowing Tielezhen to break out of the blockade of the Vietnamese army and lead a small number of troops to escape from other places.
However, his choice was undoubtedly quite correct for the entire battle situation. The cavalrymen who surrounded each other immediately cut off the possibility of breaking through the Ghost Rong people. With the greeting of spears and arrows, hundreds of Ghost Rong cavalry were caught and killed.
There are also some who see that things cannot be done, so they can only get off their horses, throw away their weapons, and surrender obediently.
Although the border army has always had a deep hatred with the Guirong people, this time it was because of their invasion that many robes were killed, and even veteran generals like Dong Gongwang were seriously injured and died. Under Sun Bi's strict order, everyone did not dare to kill the surrender and vent. They just drove these guys who knelt on the ground and begged for surrender to the side, and continued to chase forward and kill the enemy.
The chase lasted from evening until dawn the next day. All the troops and horses who were chasing each other for thirty or fifty miles, and then they each returned triumphantly with their own heads in their hands.
At this time, Sun Bi and other generals had already collected some of their troops and drove the surrendered soldiers back to the barracks to wait.
As more and more soldiers came back, the number of winning numbers after this big victory continued to rise, which made many of the generals present dumbfounded. Even Shen Chongshan, who had been in the border for twenty years, had never had such a brilliant record...
After another evening, all the people returned and counted it again, but everyone was shocked. According to the statistics, the total number of Guirong people killed in this battle was over 10,000, of which more than 8,000 were proof of heads. The number of beheadings alone exceeded the total number of enemies killed by all border troops in Dayue in the past ten years.
In addition, there were more than 5,000 prisoners. They either voluntarily abandoned their weapons and surrendered, or were injured and had nowhere to escape. Fortunately, they were not killed by the Vietnamese army, and finally saved their lives.
By doing this, the Vietnamese army completely eliminated more than 15,000 Gui Rong elite troops, and this could almost reach more than 20% of the total strength of Gui Rong this time. If those who escaped with injuries were added, they would probably not be able to carry their swords in the future, and the casualties and losses of Gui Rong this time may reach 20,000 or even more. It can be said that this battle alone brought a heavy blow to Gui Rong.
This is not the end. In addition to killing enemies and captives, there is another important thing, that is, seizure. There are two thousand horses alone, and there are other scimitars and leather armor, which are even more numerous and cannot be counted for a while.
Finally, there is the grain reserves that were too late to take away in the Guirong Camp. Although most of these grains were seized by the border town of Yue, they are now considered to be normal. And the more important point is that since the grain in the Guirong Camp has been regained by the Yue army, they will inevitably lack food if they fled in this way. If they escaped back to the depths of the grassland, there will inevitably be many people who starve to death. Some people can only kill horses to satisfy their hunger in order to survive, and the loss of horses will weaken the power of the entire tribe... In this way, they can give the Guirong tribes a considerable second blow.
When these things were understood and preached, there was another jubilation in the Vietnamese military camp.
Especially when the wolf-headed flag representing Gui Rong Da Khan was exposed to the camp and presented to Sun Bi, the soldiers of the camp consciously cheered: "The general is mighty! Our army will win!"
"The general is mighty! Our army will win!"
Soon, a cheer sounded throughout the Vietnamese camp, and the sound soared into the sky, and the goshawks flying overhead were so scared that they were frightened and screamed, and quickly turned around and ran away.
After taking the flag, Sun Bi only smiled contemptuously and said, "It's just that! But it's not the only one who can win this battle, or the generals in the army, but the credit of our entire army soldiers. It's the credit of those soldiers who died on the battlefield, but were not afraid of the fierce enemy, and fought to the end! So this time I will ask the court for you and your Majesty!"
"The general is mighty! The general is mighty! The general is mighty!" The soldiers were even more excited and shouted loudly. It was not until Sun Bi raised his hands to press down that everyone stopped shouting. He still looked solemn and said loudly: "But, are we satisfied just like this?
"Although we did win a great victory in this battle, the main force of Gui Rong was able to escape from the north, and even their Khan, the culprit who invaded our Great Vietnam border, might run away all over. This is by no means a war we can accept, otherwise we will not be able to face the soldiers who died in battle and the people of the northern border who were killed by them!"
When he said this, the soldiers who were already quite excited quickly showed a different look, and the generals looked even more solemn. They immediately understood that King Ying had never thought of stopping, but intended to go further, launch a large army again, and go deep into the north of the Mo!
Unlike ordinary soldiers who only feel excited, many generals show deep thought.
They actually supported the Northern Expedition very much. After all, it was all military achievements, which was enough to make them win their wives and children, and they were famous in history. Moreover, in this battle, they defeated the enemy, and even took advantage of the victory to pursue them, went deep into the northern part of the Mo, and wiped out the Guirong tribes who had suffered from the Central Plains for many years.
But the problem is that this is ultimately a Northern Expedition that penetrated into the northern desert. The difficulties and dangers of them can be roughly explained by their years of experience in the army without having to think about them. What is more important is the court's intention, whether Your Majesty allows this risky move.
This not only involves logistics supply, but also depends on whether Sun Bi, the temporary commander of the Northern Frontier, has the right to be such a leader and lead the army northward!
But ordinary officers and soldiers didn't have such thoughts. After listening to Sun Bi's words, they were silent at first, and then they shouted: "Northern Expedition! Northern Expedition!"
"Go to the depths of the grassland! Kill all the Guirong people!"
