Chapter 49 The Great Rout
At this time, Li Xiuning and his generals were scolding on the city tower. Suddenly, they saw the Turkic Shibi Khan in the distance being shot and even the wolf flag had been shot down. Before they could come over, they saw the five tribe leaders being shot and killed by one arrow. They were stunned again, staring at the chaos outside the city.
"The whole army fights out!"
Li Xiuning suddenly woke up, her face full of excitement, excitement, joy! And her expression that she couldn't believe her, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for her! Her voice was filled with excitement and gave an attack order.
If she couldn't catch such a good opportunity, she wouldn't be the Princess Pingyang who commanded thousands of troops in history.
Li Xiuning took the confidant general on the city wall to rush out of the city. Finally, Li Xiuning looked back at the location where Li Yu had just stood in confusion.
"Kill! Kill! Kill…!!!"
When the Women's Army saw that the Turkic camp was in chaos, they were worried that they would be in trouble this time. When they saw the turbulent Turkic camp at this time, they even burst into turbulent fighting spirit. Even the defenders of Wuyuan County joined the ranks of chasing the Turkic camp when they saw this situation.
The city gate opened wide, and the cavalry of the Detachment of Women took the lead in killing, causing the ground to tremble slightly. A team of black and black cavalry roared and rushed into the already chaotic Turkic camp like a tiger.
"Ah...ah..."
The screams sounded in the Turkic Central Army camp accompanied by the violent collision. Countless Turkic soldiers were chopped and killed by the soldiers of the Women's Army rushed into the camp and wailed; more Turkic soldiers were hit by the huge impact of the cavalry, their sternum was broken, and their limbs were broken, and their limbs were broken, and they screamed in pain. In an instant, the entire central army camp was in chaos. After the cavalry, blood flowed into a river of Turkic Central Army camp, broken arms and limbs, and corpses were everywhere. The Turkic soldiers who temporarily escaped their lives fled everywhere, like headless flies, screaming and wailing.
"Escape quickly... the cavalry from the Central Plains are coming..." The Turkic soldiers who fled in scattered everywhere shouted loudly while running, and the phenomenon of escape spread from the Central Army camp to the entire camp.
The Turkic soldiers who had a horse were looking for the horse, but those who had not found the horse ran away. During the escape, they only regretted that their parents had fewer legs. They didn't dare to turn around and ran to the periphery along the flow of people.
Now the Turkic soldiers have lost all their fighting spirit, and the corresponding one is that the Women's Army has strong fighting spirit, one against the other, and the defeat of the Turks is expected.
This is not the first time that Li Yu has seen the Women's Detachment defeating his opponent and chasing him, but it is the first time that the two sides have seen a great defeat before they can take over the formation.
At this time, the Turkic camp was completely in chaos, and even many war horses were abandoned on the battlefield by the Turkic soldiers who were panicked.
Is this the case if you are defeated like a mountain? No matter how elite you are, the army that loses command or courage is no different from a flock of sheep.
What matters when the two armies fight is not the number and morale. Shibi Khan was shot and killed. The golden wolf flag representing the commander was broken. Later, five tribal leaders were shot and killed with one arrow. The soldiers in the Turkic camp were very brave and had no fighting spirit. Moreover, Asina clan, famous Shibi Khan, was the second-ranked figure who went south. Seeing Shibi Khan being shot and killed, hurriedly took Shibi Khan's body back to the grassland to grab the position of the Great Khan. Because of his selfishness, the great defeat of the Turks was exacerbated.
His own thought was that if his soldiers under him were here, how could they snatch the Khan throne with his younger brother and nephew, so he fled directly to the Turkic hometown with more than 10,000 troops. The rest were the leaders of various tribes. Shibi Khan was dead. When he saw five tribal leaders died, the Turkic would definitely be in chaos for a while. Now he rushed back to the grassland to grab territory, so he still had to collect the soldiers and avenge Shibi Khan.
The property that the Turks robbed during this period was also left outside the city by defeated Turkic soldiers, and even the flock they brought from the grassland was not cared about at this time.
Li Yu stood at the top of the city and could clearly see the situation of the collapse of the enemy and chasing the enemy outside the city, which was shocking. The so-called defeat was like a mountain of fall, and it was like this. If anyone else came, he would be powerless to turn the world back.
Previous historical records show that thousands of soldiers defeated a 100,000 army, but seeing the scene in front of him forced Li Yu to believe that this thing really happened. It turned out that the extremely cruel Turkic people seemed to have become sheep who only knew how to escape. Many people were even trampled under the horse's hooves by their companions in order to escape. Even if there is no statistics, Li Yu can be sure that there are definitely many soldiers who were trampled to death by horses.
Within a few hours, the Turkic army, which was completely at the upper hand, was defeated to everyone's expectations.
In less than an hour, the Turkic camp was run away from dead bodies, howling wounded soldiers, frightened horses... and the arrogant Turkic people ran cleanly.
...
One day later, Li Xiuning returned to Wuyuan County City with more than 10,000 people. In this battle, he killed more than 5,000 Turkic soldiers and captured thousands of prisoners. More than 1,000 Turkic soldiers were trampled to death by horses in the chaos. The Detachment of Women also killed and injured more than 2,000 people in this pursuit.
After this battle, Li Xiuning proved to the world and everyone in the Tang Dynasty that he could not only defeat all the princes, but also against the powerful Turks, but also defeat the most powerful Turks in the world.
"The princess's battle was so exciting. You don't know that when the Turkic soldiers saw me killing me with the soldiers, they scared the Turkic soldiers to kneel down and beg for mercy." Xiang Shanzhi was in a good mood and laughed heavily.
"It's a pity that the Turkic dog was run away by Liang Shidu, but the supplies from his camp were left for us." Qiu Shili looked unhappy, and regretted that Liang Shidu was not left.
Li Xueyi, covered in blood, sneered: "It's only a matter of time to deal with this dog thief."
Li Xiuning saw the women's soldiers around him cheering, celebrating that they had defeated the Turks.
However, Li Xiuning unconsciously frowned.
"Did you find out who shot those two arrows?" Li Xiuning looked at everyone and asked. Li Xiuning did not make her mind angry because of defeating the Turks this time. She knew what was going on in this battle. If Shibi Khan and several tribal leaders were not shot and killed, she would have the absolute advantage in the Turkic army and would not let the destruction of this Detachment of Women, she would have thanked God.
Qiu Shili shook his head and said helplessly: "No! But these two arrows were indeed shot out from the city wall. Just like thinking about shooting Xue Ju and Zong Luo, there was no one at all."
"My goodness! A mile away, you can actually shoot Shibi Khan and several tribal leaders. What a powerful force!" Xiang Shanzhi remembered the scene at that time, which made him constantly exclaim.
"I don't think it's so powerful that it can be done. Have you forgotten? At that time, the first arrow even the flagpole of the wolf flag was shot off. The flagpole was made of iron." Li Xueyi shook his head and said, "The last arrow shot five tribal leaders at the same time. That arrow turned the corner and shot those tribal leaders."
After saying that, Li Xueyi couldn't help but whine.
The few people were silent. This was not something that mortals in the world could do. It was just like what happened the previous second time, and it was also incredible. However, there were several incredible things happening in a row. The generals seemed to have adapted to someone who often helped them, and they were no longer making a fuss.
"Qiu Shili, please report the gains of our battle this time?" Li Xiuning saw that he couldn't ask why, and immediately asked about the dividends of this war.
Qiu Shili stood up and took a notebook and said, "This time, a total of 5,326 Turkic people were wiped out, 13,132 prisoners were captured, 13,000 horses and more than 43,000 sheep were seized, and countless other materials were counted. This time, our soldiers in the Women's Army suffered 2,112 casualties."
After hearing the results of the battle, Li Xueyi excitedly reminded: "Princess, our Women's Army will win a great victory this time! Report to Your Majesty quickly! Reassure Your Majesty."
Li Xiuning did not hesitate and immediately said, "Okay, the court is still waiting for our news at this time. If you are in a hurry, please report to your father."
Li Xiuning wrote the memorial on the spot and sent someone to Chang'an.
...
Half a month passed, and Li Yu finished his work in the injured barracks.
"The wild boar fried this time is much better than the ones that were roasted before, and it tastes more delicious." Li Xiuning commented while holding the chopsticks.
"Princess, when will you leave? If it's too long, I'll go back by myself. It's been two years since I came out this time. I should go home and take a look." Li Yu did not answer the conversation, but looked at the direction of Chang'an and asked about going back to Chang'an together.
"Oh, the war here is over. Yesterday the imperial edict has arrived. My father is also urging me to return to Chang'an. Why don't we set off to return to Chang'an tomorrow!" Li Xiuning nodded helplessly and said.
When Li Xiuning saw Li Yu's eagerness to go home, she knew that she could not delay it, so she had to agree helplessly.
"I can finally go home and I can catch up with the New Year." Li Yu sighed, feeling that something had completely let go of his heart.
Li Xiuning gave Li Yu a pair of hygienic eyes and said, "It's still early for the New Year, and there are more than two months left! Are you in a hurry to celebrate the New Year?"
After saying that, Li Xiuning asked another question that she couldn't understand. Zou Zou browed and said, "Li Yu, who would be the one who shot Shibi Khan and the leader of the tribe? Why would he not stand up and reveal his identity?"
"Maybe it's the same as the previous few times, the people who helped us!" Li Yu said half-truely. This kind of thing cannot be explained, and it's unclear. Besides, Li Xiuning has not yet let her know her identity.
"It's really strange! Why does he always help us one after another and not give any reward? Is he really a god? He came down from heaven to help us?" Li Xiuning couldn't figure it out.
Li Yu curled his lips and did not respond.
