Chapter 55: Broken Yechuan (6) Decisive Battle (2)
Moheda ran away.
When the five thousand tribal cavalry under his command were penetrated by the Tang army, he knew that the situation of the battle was irreversible.
The war lasted for about an hour, and almost all the Shattered Ye Army was sweeping away the remaining enemies. Before dark, the wind and snow stopped and the war ended.
This battle was the battle that laid the foundation for the situation in the Qihe Basin in the next few decades, known in history as the "Battle of the Army". Because there were too many tribal cavalry in the enemy, at the end of the war, Sun Xiurong and Hefu's army also joined the team to chase and annihilate, which made Mohe Dagan calmly run back to Thunder Ye City.
That night, a tent was set up in the ruins of Baodajun City.
In Sun Xiurong's tent, Li Fei Shouyu was reporting the battle situation to him.
"There are more than 3,000 enemy cavalry killing and wounding, nearly 2,000 cavalry captives, and nearly 4,000 war horses were seized. There are not many deaths in our army, only more than 300 cavalry, but nearly 1,000 injured, most of them were injured by falling horses..."
Sun Xiurong felt a stern, "What's going on?"
"Dalang, the horse's nail cover is anti-slip, but if the horse has not practiced for a long time and adapted, it was originally stopped by sliding when running quickly. Now that there is a nail cover, it must be firmly nailed to the ground, and the knight on it will naturally..."
Sun Xiurong was silent. In the last era, his Hanhai Army also used nail condoms. However, since the battlefields were all on the mountains or rivers, even if there was a nail condom, it would not be possible to run too fast. Now that he has arrived at the Great Plain, he forgot this section for a while. Moreover, his Leaf Army has completely formed an army in one or two years. The war horses only put on training in winter, so they must not be fully adapted.
"…..,knew"
"Also, I caught Gudoro..."
"oh?"
When Sun Xiurong heard this, his eyes couldn't help but turn away.
After a while, he said, "Erlang, do you think it is the most appropriate way to act?"
Li Fei Shouyu said: "After this battle, even if Mohedagan returns to Suiye City safely, his vitality will be severely damaged. He only has one thousand left for the three thousand cavalry, and most of the five thousand tribal cavalry are lost. By the way, although most of our army are injured in the fallen horse, they still have a big advantage in speed in the battle of the Mukun tribal cavalry at the pursuit site. The tribal cavalry was either chased by our army until surrender, or because the war horses were slipped to injury."
"According to the information provided by the prisoners, there are more than 4,000 people in Saiye City, plus three thousand horses on the Alishi tribe on the other side of the river. This number of people, plus the food and grass issues, Mohe Dagan will definitely not stick to it. I guess, Mohe Dagan's wisest way is to return to the southern part of Rehai immediately, where some cities by the lake were hit by the Daxi tribe. There should be no damage on the vast pasture."
Sun Xiurong nodded, "From the capture, death and injury, they fled one or two thousand people, and some even lost their horses. After this battle, Mukun was so strong that he withered so much. Mohedagan could not abandon these people. I guess he would not move these days, and he would definitely wait until the tribal cavalry that fled back in all directions."
"Then he isn't he afraid that I will surround Thunder Ye City one step earlier?"
"In the southeast of Saiye City, northwest of Rehai, and north of Saiye City Canyon, there is also a Yezhi City. Although it was demolished by Gaijiayun last time, I heard that although Mohedagan did not restore the city, it still repaired it a little, restored some of the walls, and built a tent inside, which actually turned into a large military camp."
"If I guessed correctly, Mohe Dagan would definitely not dare to live in Ruiye City. Instead, he would take his remaining heavy cavalry to there and ask his brother-in-law Mochu to gather the defeated soldiers in Ruiye City, but in this way..."
"how?"
"There is no airtight wall in the world. At present, both the Huselo tribe in the city and the Alishi tribe outside the city must be in a state of mind..."
“What will they do?”
"If these two movies are smart, killing Mochu immediately and staying in place to wait for our army is the best strategy. Sitting on Mochu, gathering the defeated soldiers, and then sending them away from Nazhong Ce, and still relying on Mohedagan. It is naturally the worst strategy to resist stubbornly."
"What should I do to be the most beneficial?"
"Released Guduro"
"Dalang! Gudoro is a powerful general in the Chumukun tribe and the youngest son of Lao Khan. He has great prestige in the Chumukun tribe. Wouldn't Mohedagan be like a tiger with wings if he gets him?!"
"Otherwise," Sun Xiurong shook his head, "After Mohedagan got the Saiye City, he immediately moved his direct tribe to Saiyechuan and sealed the entire pasture around Rehai to Gudoro. If Mohedagan moved back to Rehai this time, Gudoro would definitely not be happy, let alone, the original direct tribe that stayed near Rehai was originally Gudoro's."
Li Fei Shouyu said, "Dalang, I understand a little. You put Gu Duluo back and let the two brothers not be at ease even if they return to Rehai, and they don't have time to deal with me..."
"No," a cold smile flashed across Sun Xiurong's face, "Erlang, think about everything in the most favorable places. Do you think, who is the best way to land in the pasture near Rehai?"
Li Fei Shouyu looked confused, "Aren't we waiting? If the battle will be completely destroyed, I will extend my territory to Rehai soon, let alone the Dunduo Silver Mine there."
"You," Sun Xiurong pointed at him with his finger, "When the governor's office is bounded by the Great Protectorate, the officials of the Great Protectorate can set off from Bahuan City and go straight to the Governor's office. Do you want them to come down with Bian Lingcheng and Liu Longxian to continue to blackmail and inspect?"
Li Fei Shouyu suddenly realized, "Dalang, I understand. Chu Mukun is the weakest at the moment, so it is better for them to occupy it. But what's the difference between Mohe Dagan or Gu Duoluo?"
"The difference is big. Mohedagan is Shi Khan, the Tukhaha of Qinfeng of the Tang Dynasty. If he dies at our hands, it will not be appropriate. I will put Gudoro back and tell him that he must kill Mohedagan, and then sign a secret agreement with him to let him give up the herdsmen and Dingkou near Suoye City, and return to Rehai to continue to be his tyrant. In order to stabilize the plan, the court will definitely enthrone him again."
"But he killed Mohedagan?"
"Who can I enthrone? Su Lu was also enthroned by the Tang Dynasty, but Mohe Dagan still killed him. The Mukun tribe is greatly weakened at the moment. The Hu Luju tribe next to him is too eye-catching. The court will definitely enthrone the bones of Duluju tribe to compete with the Hu Luju tribe. There is no doubt about this, otherwise the Hu Luju tribe would be too powerful and would have a great threat to Anxi and Beiting."
...
Gu Duoluo was let go, and before leaving, Sun Xiurong had a secret discussion with him.
Gu Duoluo naturally agreed. The herdsmen in Suoye City were not his, so it was nothing to give them to the Governor's Office. As long as they could return to their old nest, Atami, the young and strong people near Atami had lost some of their losses, but their foundation was still there. In time, they could still recruit tens of thousands of troops.
Sun Xiurong also returned hundreds of captives from the Mukun tribe of Rehai, as his statement that "after the defeat, he ran to the snow-capped mountains in a panic, and finally waited until the war was calm before he came back." Of course, the people from Renyongdu, the Governor's Office were mixed with it.
Gu Duoluo rushed back to Thunder Ye City overnight, which was almost the same as Sun Xiurong expected. Mohe Dagan was indeed preparing to retreat to Yezhi City to gather the remaining defeated generals. He was still very happy to see Gu Duoluo coming back.
Among the "defeated soldiers" of Gudoro, there was the Renyongdu member Su Xijie who was walking in the Qihe River Basin as a caravan guard. As soon as he arrived at Suye City, he secretly paid homage to Ashideyi, the commander of the Husero tribe, and then went to the Alishi tribe camp, which was separated by a river.
In Baodajun City, half a day after Guduro left, Sun Xiurong said to Li Fei Shouyu: "It's almost done, you can slowly approach Suye City with five thousand men. Remember, don't be too close to the city, just twenty or thirty miles away from there."
"Why is this?"
"If you get too close, Gudoro and Mohedagan see that the situation is critical, they may unite again, approach them, and give them some opportunities. The accident will only happen at this time. In addition, Su Xijie Duo has done some things at this time. Gudoro is no longer alone in the city. I will wait and see how it will get better."
Another day later, in the evening, Su Xijie returned to Baodajun City again.
"Governor, the big thing has been decided!"
"Oh? Tell me specifically"
"After arriving at the Thunderye City, the vocational department immediately visited Ashdeiel, the leader of the Husero tribe, and asked him to support Gudoro. After Gudoro received the support of Ashdeiel, he immediately launched an action. At the dinner, he killed Mohedagan. The heavy cavalry under Mohedagan saw that Mohedagan died, so he surrendered to Gudoro."
"The remaining brother-in-law of Mohedagan, Gudoro's brother-in-law Mochuo, could not do anything, so he had to serve his loyalty to Gudoro. At present, Gudoro took the remaining nearly three thousand Mukun cavalry in the city, and half of the treasures left the Thunder Ye City..."
"Half of the treasure?"
"Haha, it is said that this was Mochu's idea, because Sima's army was approaching Thunderbolt City at this time, and the city was in a state of terror. Mochu suggested leaving some treasures and food to slow down our army's actions. Gu Duluo naturally agreed. Governor, Mohedagan had a lot of silver ingots in Thunderbolt City, even if it was only half, it would have hundreds of thousands of tumblers!"
Don’t pay much attention to Sun Xiurong, “Where is the population?”
"Governor, Gudoro also has craftsmen in Rehai, so he naturally doesn't value the people here. He took away all the generals and soldiers who were loyal to him, but he brought nothing else. After Sima knew about it, he immediately entered the Snowy River. At present, Ashideyi of the Huselo tribe and Ashina Guchu of the Alishi tribe all paid homage to him and promised to be loyal to the Governor's Office from then on..."
"That's what they said? Not being loyal to the Tang Dynasty?"
"Yes, it's true. The ministry was also present at that time. Sima immediately asked them to send out a thousand young soldiers, and the two of them agreed."
"At present, Ashdeire has led his army to leave the Thunder Ye City and is stationed outside the city. He said that when the governor arrives, he will formally agree on the matter of seeking refuge."
Sun Xiurong nodded and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"If the internal unity of Chu Mukun's tribe is united, no matter how strong my Ye Jun is, it will take some effort to completely conquer them. It is still power confusing people's hearts. Gu Duluo did not escape this disaster after all, but from his perspective, anyone would do this."
He asked again: "Is there any news about the upstream of the Sailed Ye River?"
"Some people from Renyongdu, Helicheng, have a message."
"oh?"
"It's not Helou Yurun of Yanqi Town, but Gao Xianzhi of Yutian Town. He only brought two thousand cavalrymen and defeated the troops behind Daxi Wenming Palace in a big battle. After that, there was Ge Shuhai in front of Daxi's troops and Gao Xianzhi behind. The situation was very bad."
