Zhang Yi's formation killed Li Qiucheng, and Lei Xiong and Badi worked together to drive away E Huan. After such a severe blow, the Yi soldiers on both sides of the north and south were demoralized and had no strength to fight anymore.
The barbarian soldiers had no organized counterattack force, so they had to scatter and flee for their lives.
Even if there were one or two people who were willing to gather soldiers, they couldn't stop drinking under such a huge defeat, and had to flee with the masses in lamentation.
However, the roads to the north and south were blocked by Han troops, and officers and soldiers were also surrounding them from the east. The barbarian soldiers had no choice but to flee into the mountains and forests to the west. However, the mountain roads were narrow and rugged, so how could they survive so many people?
There was another fierce jostling and pushing, which blocked the only way to escape.
How could the officers and soldiers let go of such a good opportunity? They pursued and killed them all the way, until corpses were scattered all over the field and rivers of blood flowed.
After a long time, Zhang Yi, who had avenged his great revenge, realized what he was doing. He ordered his soldiers to shout that those who surrender would live. Only then did the Yi soldiers have the opportunity to kneel down and ask for surrender.
All the Yi soldiers died and surrendered. Only E Huan saw the opportunity quickly and fled eastward with his close guards early.
The reason why this man fled to the east was not only because there were large numbers of Han troops in other directions, but more importantly, when E Huan and Li Qiucheng first planned Yang Qing, they had already sent his brother E Bao to lead a thousand soldiers and horses to the Han army. Behind him, he lurked in a valley in the northeast to block Yang Qing's return route.
At this moment, E Huan planned to break out of the siege and join E Bao. Only with more than a thousand soldiers and horses in hand could he have the opportunity to withdraw to Beishui.
E Huan led dozens of mounted guards to turn left and right. During this period, he did not fight with the officers and soldiers for a long time, and did not seek to kill the enemy. He only wanted to kill the officers and soldiers and then left immediately.
Most of the officers and soldiers went to pursue the main force of the Yi soldiers who fled to the west. The officers and soldiers who stayed in the east were unable to stop E Huan for a while, and were almost ready to be rushed out of the siege by him.
When E Huan saw that he was about to escape, he was about to push his mount with great joy when suddenly a group of men and horses shot out of the diagonal ground and came straight towards him.
The leader, E Huan, happened to know that he was the strong man who was opposing him. Although this man was good at martial arts, he was no match for him. Therefore, E Huan felt relieved when he saw that this man was leading the troops.
Lei Xiong began to look for traces of E Huan as early as when the Yi soldiers were defeated. Soon he found that he was escaping to the east, and he immediately understood the thief's plan.
He sneered in his heart for a while, then ordered someone to fetch something, and led a group of people and horses to catch up. He knew that he was no match for E Huan. This pursuit was not just based on brute force, but he had a countermeasure.
When E Huan saw that Lei Xiong, a defeated general, dared to come to die, he smiled contemptuously, picked up his long knife, pushed his mount, and went straight to Lei Xiong, preparing to kill him with one blow and open a way of escape for himself.
Although E Huan was approaching fiercely, Lei Xiong sat on the horse but did not panic. He took the package handed by the sergeant on the side, unknotted the cloth, and moved forward. The contents of the package shook out and fell to the ground.
E Huan was still twenty or thirty steps away from Lei Xiong. He was about to increase his speed when he suddenly saw something thrown by the other party. He looked curiously and found out that it was a human head with messy hair and bloody face.
He suddenly felt inexplicably frightened in his heart. He looked carefully and screamed loudly.
When Lei Xiong saw this, he knew the reason for E Huan's screams. He pointed a knife at him and laughed: "Haha, E Huan, E Huan, your treacherous plot has been discovered by my family. How can your thousand partial troops survive?" ? If we don’t surrender now, when will we wait?”
It turned out that the traces of E Bao's troops had already been found by Han army scouts. Zhang Ni led the army to extinguish this barbarian army before coming for reinforcements.
Hearing the bad news at this moment, E Huan was completely disheartened. Being scolded by Lei Xiongyi, he couldn't help but feel confused. He slowly put down the weapon in his hand and stood on the spot.
When Lei Xiong saw that E Huan had already surrendered, he was overjoyed. He clapped his horse and came forward, about to speak.
Suddenly, E Huan's eyes became fierce and he swung his long sword to strike. Seeing that the sword was about to hit Lei Xiong, there was a whooshing sound from behind the army formation and an arrow was shot. E Huan had no choice but to withdraw his move to block it. He only heard a "ding" sound. The arrow hit the center of his sword, only making his hand numb.
Lei Xiong took the opportunity to escape with his life, turned his horse around, and looked back to see that Buddy still looked like he was holding his bow. It turned out that he had arrived just in time to save his life.
When Gu Leixiong saw that E Huan was still resisting, he was furious and ordered all the troops to come forward to capture and kill the thief.
E Huan originally wanted to surrender under Lei Xiong's scolding, but suddenly he remembered Gao Ding's kindness and the Han people's revenge for killing his brother, and he immediately became determined to fight to the death.
However, the entire army he led was almost wiped out. After he missed Lei Xiong, he stopped struggling and led his men to turn around and flee. Of course, Lei Xiong and Buddy would not let him go easily, and immediately chased him with their men.
The setting sun is setting in the west, and the setting sun is like blood.
Yang Qing stood on the top of the mountain and looked around, but he saw corpses with broken arms and limbs everywhere, some from the Han army, but more from the Yi soldiers. Even though it was not the first time he had experienced war, it was the first time such a large-scale fierce battle had occurred.
The country is picturesque and heroes surrender. In order to compete for regional resources and realize their respective ambitions, nearly 10,000 soldiers from the two sides fought against each other. How many lives that were alive most of the day ago were wiped out. The right and wrong in this must be carefully studied.
Yang Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had planned a hearty victory, but it was really inexplicable why he still felt unreasonable when he succeeded.
"Master Fu, great victory, great victory." A cheer came from behind, interrupting Yang Qing's thoughts.
He didn't look back and said with a smile: "Bo Qi, the results of the battle have been calculated? How is it?"
Zhang Ni walked to Yang Qing's side, cupped his hands and said: "Except for the nearly 400 barbarian soldiers who escaped, our army, large and small, killed more than 2,700 barbarian soldiers under Li Qiucheng in a battle, and captured more than 1,400 people. All were captured intact. There are more than 300 horses, more than 700 bows, more than 20 crossbows, 130 pairs of iron armor, 1,300 pairs of leather armor, and nearly 3,000 other types of swords, spears, spears and halberds."
"In addition, according to the prisoners' confessions, Li Qiucheng and the others also hid a large amount of grain, grass, gold, silver and other luggage in the valley, and I have ordered people to retrieve it."
Zhang Yi finished recounting the results of the battle in one breath, his face filled with uncontrollable joy. Now that he had avenged the great vengeance with his own hands, his original generous and heroic side was fully revealed.
"What are our casualties?" Yang Qing asked calmly.
"More than 200 officers and soldiers were killed in the battle, dozens were seriously injured, and more than 200 were lightly injured. The Qiang people suffered about 800 casualties." Speaking of his own losses, the joy on Zhang Ni's face instantly disappeared.
Although there are a certain number of casualties on our side, they can be said to be very small compared to the enemy's losses. There is no one who can't die in a war. When seeing the casualties of his soldiers, a general should not say he has a heart of stone, but at least he should face it calmly.
Yang Qing has already understood this principle well. It is a time when the Three Kingdoms are fighting, and there will be many wars, large and small, in the future.
For the future cause of the Northern Expedition, he has consciously cultivated his will and character on the battlefield from a long time ago. Although he has only experienced two large and small battles so far, he has adapted well to the war.
Soon he adjusted his mentality and mentally calculated the losses and gains of this war. This calculation was not only a comparison of the apparent battle losses, but also the changes in the overall strength of the enemy and ourselves.
He thought a lot in an instant. The result was so rich, it was indeed a great victory. Yang Qing couldn't help but laugh happily. At this moment, he seemed to have forgotten the slightly sad emotion just now.
"By the way, has E Huan been captured?" After laughing for a moment, Yang Qing remembered that Lei Xiong and the others had not yet returned from chasing E Huan, and asked worriedly.
Zhang Ni replied: "Lei Xiong and Badi haven't come back yet, but Mr. Fu, don't worry. There are almost no invincible troops in Xindao now. I think they will be safe."
Yang Qing nodded, pointed down the mountain and said: "Boqi, Gulichi and the others have come up the mountain. According to the covenant, they will be given 30% of the captured goods. It is up to you to settle the matter with them."
He paused and then said: "It is thanks to their strength that we can achieve this great victory today. We must not be stingy. We can let them pick out these seizures first. But I have to keep all of the three hundred horses." Please leave at least two-thirds of the armor for me.
"If they don't agree, in addition to allowing them to choose first, we can also increase their share and give them more weapons. Do you understand?"
