It was almost dusk when twelve thousand Yanyun cavalry pursued them all the way to the northern grasslands.
The Beihu people only had time to escape with hundreds of supervisory troops in the rear. Liang Xiao considered that he was exhausted and the enemy might have reinforcements, so he turned his horse and ordered: "Clean up the battlefield along the way, count the battle damage, and return to Yanzhou to report the victory!"
The Yanyun cavalry burst into cheers like waves.
Why is this battle so painful?
"Since the disaster of moving the capital, I have never had such a glorious cavalry battle in the Zhou Dynasty! The Marquis is mighty!"
Dong Lian was so excited that his eyes were shining, his voice was visibly trembling, and his words were even incoherent.
At this moment, he admired his foresight so much that he would rather demote himself than follow Liang Xiao.
Of course, Mu Dingguo did not demote him. Seeing his sincerity, he directly assigned his team to Liang Xiao.
In the past, how could there be such a comfortable and rewarding battle?
Liang Xiao looked calm and showed no joy. He just sighed: "We have brothers who were killed in battle. We cannot forget them."
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but stand in awe.
"Remember the Marquis's teachings!"
Even Dong Lian, who had a high official position, began to call him "Master Hou".
Everyone counted the battle losses and military exploits along the way, and returned to Yanzhou.
Relying on Zhuge Hui's careful arrangements and later Liang Xiao's refinement, Dazhou had its own set of rules for recording merit.
For example, in a small team of five people, one person in the team is responsible for recording the military exploits of the teams next door, including key military exploits such as beheading, rescue, and horse killing.
Of course, the number of beheadings is still the most intuitive way to record merit.
"Report to the Marquis! Forty brothers were killed in our army, and 4,421 were beheaded!"
After the generals accompanying the army reported their military exploits, everyone was shocked.
"Is it really one against a hundred? This..."
Even Lei Hong found it a bit dreamy.
Based on the quality of Liang Jiajun's armaments and personnel, he had originally estimated that two to three hundred of his own would be killed, and killing two to three thousand of his would be an unparalleled feat.
Now, the record is ten times as expected?
Seeing the excitement of the generals, Liang Xiao felt vaguely elated and reminded: "The results of this battle are astonishing because Beihu underestimated the enemy and advanced in haste. Our army must learn from this!"
All the generals nodded: "Remember the Marquis's teachings!"
Having said that, they were still extremely overjoyed, especially the two thousand Liang Family Army cavalry.
No matter how humble Liang Xiao is, after the results are spread, he cannot help but be humble...
Enough to fight to become a god!
The people will only remember the amazing achievements. They don't care who underestimates the enemy and how many troops there are on both sides!
In this battle, Liang Xiao also captured more than 6,000 war horses, 2,000 dead horses, and a large amount of leather armor.
The quality of these leather armors is worse than that of the Yanyun Iron Cavalry, but it is more than enough to distribute to the domestic defenders.
The dead horses are recovered in time, and the horse meat can also be used to reward the three armies.
While walking together, Lei Hong couldn't help but ask: "The Marquis previously told the Sa family not to spread rumors about the Marquis's martial arts skills. What should we do now?"
Liang Xiao smiled and said: "At this moment, Beihu's establishment of the Xiongnu name is unbearable. What I want is for Beihu to increase his troops in the northern border, so that I can catch them all. Of course, there is no need to say that I am taking the lead."
"Understood, lure the enemy deeper!" Lei Hong was so excited that his face trembled.
All the generals returned to Yanzhou in triumph.
As night fell, several girls in Lanlinghou looked worried.
Even Mu Qinxue and Gongsun Yue looked sad.
This was the first time Liang Xiao led troops in a large-scale battle. The previous attack by Baiqi had already made their hearts jump into their throats.
There were tears in Gongsun Yue's eyes.
Although this bastard always keeps a distance from himself, he doesn't treat himself badly.
After getting along with each other for this period of time, she vaguely understood that Liang Xiao had some complicated feelings for her, but he still had a good impression of her and could always take care of her face.
Diana's face was a little pale, her breathing was not smooth, and the hand holding the cup was trembling.
He is a hero in his heart, but he is more like a scholar. Can he really lead an army in battle?
Xiahou Qingyi was also absent-minded and even a little confused.
He takes the lead, which is certainly awe-inspiring.
But why is he facing this?
She could understand the emotions of Mu Qinxue and others.
Poor Wuding Riverside Gu, he is like a person in a boudoir dream... How afraid of this ending!
If he returns safely... shouldn't he be braver?
Jiang Fuxue clenched her hands tightly, her knuckles turning white.
She was already the calmest among everyone present. After all, she knew Liang Xiao's martial arts skills.
But there is still no need to worry!
Just when everyone was worried, the female mysterious guard Chen Ling rushed in to report urgently.
"Marquis Lanling won the battle and beheaded more than 4,400 people!!"
The girls finally breathed a sigh of relief at the shocking news about the other party, and their eyes were filled with excitement.
"He can indeed do it!"
At this moment, the stone in everyone's hearts fell to the ground.
As long as he returns safely!
"Is my brother injured?" Jiang Fuxue asked urgently, and several sisters also asked.
Xiahou Qingyi could not speak, but the eagerness in her eyes betrayed her mood at this time.
"Marquis Lanling seems to be uninjured, but he is a little sad about the forty warriors who died in our army. He is on his way back. He just sent people to fly back to Yanzhou to report the victory..."
Chen Ling's answer made everyone completely relieved and hugged each other and cried.
Diana began to retreat in her heart.
"If I want to marry him in the future, will I... But I wanted to marry him before he went to war..."
…
"The Marquis of Lanling led two thousand Yanyun cavalry as the vanguard and defeated the enemy army. Ten thousand Yanyun cavalry followed closely behind, beheading 4,421 people and capturing countless trophies!!"
The news spread throughout Yanzhou, and the whole city was shocked!
Zhuge Yu stood up suddenly and said in a trembling voice: "How can such a record be achieved? How cunning Beihu is..."
After Qin Baili was frightened, he smiled and said: "I think it was Lanling Hou who took the Liang family army as the vanguard. The enemy underestimated the enemy. In the end, all the elites came out. The battle will be decided."
Only Qin Xun said nothing, with a faint glint in his eyes.
Lin Xiu put his hands on his hands and laughed: "This battle will definitely inspire the soldiers in the north and even the whole country, and sweep away the haze of the disaster of moving the capital!"
But Lin Xiu quickly calmed down and asked, "How many troops do we have?"
"Forty people!"
The sergeant's answer caused the entire hall of the Prefect's Mansion to fall into a brief silence.
Everyone was struck by lightning and couldn't believe it.
Even the Great Zhou Martial Saint would find it difficult to inflict such battle damage head-on!
Unless Zhuge Hui used strategizing and using fire attacks and other tactics, he would have the chance to inflict such astonishing battle losses!
Qin Baili stopped talking.
He really wanted to ask, did Liang Xiao use any tactics or strategies, such as luring the enemy to gather deep and annihilate them?
But he held back.
"Is Marquis Lanling attacking the enemy from the front?" Qin Xun could no longer suppress his curiosity and asked anxiously.
"It's a frontal attack. The enemy will be defeated at the first touch!" The sergeant was so excited that he no longer cared about etiquette and laughed.
