Chapter 161 Victory in the first battle
The Sui army won a great victory and covered up all the way. In this situation, it almost went to pursue and massacre on one side. Anyone who stopped to resist would be obscured by the army, just like a wave rolled up in the sea.
The battle between cold weapons groups depends on the cooperation of the army, the overall advance and retreat, and the collective strength cannot be fought against thousands of troops by one person.
The role of a general is to plan, dispatch troops and deploy troops, and use tactical means to wait. Personal courage is only part of it, of course, very important, but not the most important.
The fact that Luo Zhaoyun was able to defeat more this time was not because of how powerful Luo Zhaoyun's martial arts were, but because of his wonderful ideas, he fought psychological warfare, set up three ambushes to create momentum, and played a role in interfering with the enemy's morale.
When the morale of the army is in chaos, he is attacked from all sides. Even if he has an army of 50,000, his command is a mess, without accurate military orders, he only knows how to escape.
"kill--"
Thousands of troops and horses are as angry as tigers, and the iron cavalry is rumbled, invincible.
Luo Zhaoyun's Lu horse was fast, commanding the cavalry to continuously attack and chase, and his spear was flying like a dragon, and his skills were fully unfolded. Some of the subordinates of the generals were convinced and completely lost their temper.
Of course, they don’t know yet that there are no reinforcements coming at all. It’s just Luo Zhaoyun’s trick to use. Otherwise, they would probably admire him even more.
Luo Zhaoyun is united by a man and horse, and the perfect blend of riding and martial arts is so wonderful that he uses his strength. He swept across the road and killed one person with one shot. He is unstoppable.
When the cavalry around saw that the chief general was so fierce, they all became ruthless and became more and more brave as they killed.
Puff puff puff —
The heads were flying and blood was spraying, which was extremely cruel. This was not the first time Luo Zhaoyun had participated in such a war, and his heart had become hard.
Although he knew that these deserters were innocent and had fresh lives.
But if you have different positions, you cannot be merciful in the war.
This is the reason why kindness does not control the army, and goodness does not become king.
Luo Zhaoyun didn't want a victory that was hard and dangerous, but because of his kindness, he missed the opportunity to chase and killed him for nothing. After the enemy went back to gather and gather, he came back to fight again. He didn't know how many of his soldiers were going to die.
Therefore, he must make up his mind to kill more people, kill the enemy soldiers, seriously damage their vitality, and create his own reputation.
"The kindness to the enemy is the cruelty to oneself!" Luo Zhaoyun repeated these words in his heart, and gradually, his mood was a little numb, but his eyes became even sharper and colder.
After chasing for four or five miles, he tied down his war horse and taught the pursuit task to the Asian general Changsun. Ning Wufei turned around and said to the general beside him: "Send the order, the surrender will not be killed!"
"As for the order!" Some of the generals rode out to pass the order. Some of the besieged and blocked rebel soldiers were struggling for the final struggle. Now, after hearing the shouts, they threw away their weapons, squatted on the ground, and stopped resisting.
As a result, most of the rebel soldiers within four or five miles, who had not escaped, chose to surrender.
Thousands of surrendered soldiers gathered to guard the weapons, confiscated them, and were supervised.
Luo Zhaoyun ordered the seven or eight thousand people who were not chasing here to clean up the battlefield, burn the bodies, etc. The war is over, and the dead bodies must be disposed of as soon as possible. The weather is hot, and I am worried that it will smell in two or three days and cause corpses to be plagued.
Half a day later, the pursuing horses returned. The vanguard battle was successful, killing at least nearly 20,000 enemies, capturing 5,000 or more people, and fleeing more than 20,000 people. Hedangui was escorted back to the camp on the border between Puzhou and Jinzhou by hundreds of cavalry, and then withdrew several deserters, which totaled less than 6,700.
Many fled soldiers often fear death because they have been dead for life and die. Generally speaking, they will never return to the military camp. They either sneak back to their hometown to farm, or fall into the grass for a fight, or temporarily avoid the limelight when they go deep into the mountains and forests, and do not want to fight again.
For example, in history, Yang Guang fought against Goryeo three times. Each time he fought more than one million troops, he finally returned, and only tens of thousands of people left to retreat to the capital. Not all of the 1 million troops were killed in battle. Most of the people and horses were actually dispersed and fled back to their hometowns or became green forests. Most of the rebels at the end of the Sui Dynasty, most of the soldiers who fled in the north, Hebei and Shandong were the soldiers who had fled in the past, occupied the mountains and became kings, and rose up to cause trouble.
At dusk, the Pioneer Army set up camps and held a simple celebration banquet, bandages all the injured soldiers and treats them preferentially.
Luo Zhaoyun also personally toured the camp, caring about his subordinates, and condolences to the injured camp, which made his young general's prestige grow higher and higher.
Especially when Zhou Botao, Hou Mo and Chen Ying and others heard that reinforcements had not come at all, and were all strategies used by Luo Zhaoyun, they were stunned and their dissatisfaction with him disappeared.
