The complicated affairs of clearing the battlefield made the soldiers very busy, and it seemed that two hours had passed in the blink of an eye. At this time, smoke suddenly rose from afar. Xue Tong urgently ordered all the troops to be on guard and mobilized the remaining cavalry troops to meet them. After a while, news came that Lu Yao and Liu Xia led hundreds of cavalrymen to return.

Although the slogan of capturing Wang Jun and Duan Ji and Lu Jun in the battle, this was actually just a bold statement to boost morale. In fact, Lu Yao did not really plan to capture these two people. First, these two people and the knights of the escort were both light horses, and they could fly dozens of miles in half an hour. Even if Lu Yao had all the light cavalry to pursue them with all their strength, they might not be able to keep up with them. Second, after all, Wang Jun and Duan Ji and Lu Jun were extraordinary. If they were really arrested, what would the Luoyang court react? What would the Youzhou army left behind in Jicheng? What would the Xianbei of Duan troops react? The impact of these aspects was difficult to predict. Seizing the grassland on the dam was enough to make Lu Yao's Dai County Army usher in large-scale expansion again, which was enough. Lu Yao had no intention of putting himself on the storm that was too fierce.

Because of these two reasons, Lu Yao and Liu Xia quickly swept north with their remaining light cavalry, with the purpose of rescuing Ding Miao and others who were also attacked by the Xianbei people.

What Ding Miao's troops encountered was the Chi Luo tribe, which was originally affiliated with the Tuoba Xianbei, and there were hundreds of elite cavalry led by Duan Wenyang. Ding Miao relied on the infantry of Tulinus to set up a fish scale formation to defend the death, and led his own iron cavalry to fight and rescue, fighting with enemies twice as many as his own for two full hours.

Strictly speaking, this army has only been two months since its establishment, but Ding Miao has deeply imprinted his unique ruthlessness and tenacity in the hearts of every soldier. Each of them knows that Ding Miao is the general who will always rush forward, and everyone is willing to be the soldier who will rush forward. When Ding Miao led the way to fight to the death, his subordinates also showed extraordinary tenacity. No matter how the Hu'ers launched a violent and violent attack, until more than 50% of the soldiers were killed or injured, the Dai County Army remained energetic and still had strong fighting spirit.

This unexpectedly tenacious army left the ambitious Chi Luo tribe helpless, and Duan Wenyang, who was brave enough to do nothing. They fought in the dense forest, on the grassland, in the surging enemy tide, and in the suffocating bloody storm, repelled Hu'er's offensive again and again, and persisted until the Xianbei team of Duan's Xianbei fled here in a panic, bringing terrible news that the Xianbei people were disgraced.

When the defeat of Youzhou Army was confirmed, the Chiluo army immediately gave up the attack and even stopped the huge camp guarding Rushui. After losing the support of the Chiluo army, Duan Wenyang naturally could not do anything. However, the pride of being the first brave general of Youzhou still supported Duan Wenyang to launch two fierce assaults. It was not until the Dai County cavalry came roaring with the sun-blocking dust that he retreated angrily.

Ding Miao's troops paid a huge price and finally forced the enemy to retreat. There were only more than 400 people who could return with Lu Yao and Liu Xia's reinforcements. But each of these 400 people was encouraged and encouraged by Lu Yao himself. They held their heads high and looked proud.

In fact, the losses of troops under Lu Yao's command were also terrifying. Even with the chariot formation as a support, it is not easy to resist such a strong army as the Youzhou Army. According to Xue Tong's inventory, in this battle, 672 infantrymen in the county army were killed, 529 cavalrymen were killed, and 335 seriously injured were difficult to recover. In addition, the heavy casualties of Ding Miao's troops, the total battle loss ratio exceeded 30%.

Such casualties were immediately collapsed by any army in the Central Plains. However, after the initial mourning, the grassroots soldiers of the Dai County Army quickly recovered. Perhaps because the northern people were strong in nature and were born to commit suicide and die well. On the other hand, the harsh living environment and low production level in the northern border resulted in the average lifespan of the Hu tribe Dingkou in each tribe was only 40. It was a burden to the tribe with old age and illness, but it became a burden to the tribe. Instead, the battlefield of death seemed more vigorous. If you met a generous leader, you could still earn some pensions for your family.

Around noon, Lu Yao inspected the battlefield and immediately urged the soldiers to gather the dead on both sides to deal with the dead. The armed fight between tribes on the grassland has been endless. For thousands of years, they have abandoned the dead at will, so there will naturally be coyotes and wild dogs wandering around to eat the corpse. However, due to the habit of the farming nation for thousands of years, Lu Yao always adhered to the idea of ​​being buried in peace. In this way, there is a lot more work. He Yun is responsible for recording the lives and hometowns of the dead in the battle, so that he can be included after returning to Dai County.

Sacrifice. Chu Kun organized a team of prisoners from Youzhou Army, and selected the dry high slopes of Xiangyang to dig dozens of huge tombs at the same time. After the fierce battle, the prisoners were exhausted and their emotions were extremely depressed. Although the soldiers of the Dai County Army punched and kicked the ground to supervise, it was difficult to stimulate their efficiency. When the soldiers of the Dai County Army were finally buried and buried, it was almost dusk. In this case, the bodies of the Xianbei people followed their tribal customs and left some meat for the beasts.

When the night finally came, the soldiers of the army fell into the deepest sleep. Lu Yao was also extremely tired. Since the early morning battle, he has repeatedly attacked arrows and stones to confront the enemy formations and killed dozens of Xianbei warriors. Although he was lucky enough to have not suffered any serious injuries, his physical strength was completely exhausted. At the same time, as the commander of the entire army, he had to plan the overall situation of military command under the mental pressure that ordinary people could not imagine, which was also extremely exhausting. He insisted on completing the summary of the battle reports of various departments, and arranged many warning matters for camping tonight before he fell asleep.

In fact, his cautious attitude was almost unnecessary. The herdsmen on the grassland walked around and passed the message farther away from the Central Plains. In less than a long time, the miserable defeat of the Duan Xianbei was almost known to the grasslands of Bashang.

The Duan Xianbei tribes experienced countless fierce battles over decades, and then gradually established the strong position of one of the three major tribes of the Eastern Xianbei tribes. Although the sphere of influence was partial to the eastern part of Youzhou, the Duan Wuchen powers in western Liaoxi were at the point where Duan Wuchen was powerful, and even the Tuoba Xianbei Grand Chanyu Luguan did not dare to take it lightly.

After the Tuoba Xianbei fell into civil strife, the Duan tribe was immediately regarded by many tribes as having the strength to divide huge interests and entering the grassland.

However, in this battle, Duan's army dispatched core forces, including armored cavalry, and with the help of Wang Jun of Youzhou, they joined forces with the Chilu army to set up an ambush, intending to wipe out the Dai County Army with the force of Mount Tai. However, Duan's army was defeated, Duan Ji, Lu Jun and Wang Jun fled, and there were thousands of troops and horses... For the grassland people who believed that the strong were respected, this battle was enough. When the contemporary county army soldiers were resting, many tribal leaders were busy counting the tribal wealth, reorganizing the young and strong teams, preparing to set out early tomorrow morning to swear allegiance to the general. The Bashang Grassland undoubtedly welcomed their new master. Unless they were crazy people who thought they were long-lasting, who would dare to solve the tiger beards of the Dai County Army again?
