    The Sui army covered up the area and most of the Turkic cavalry returned to the mountain. Huang Mingyuan ordered the entire army to stop the pursuit and withdraw to the foot of the mountain to organize defense.

    In today's battle, the Turks attacked with all their strength, but they were still unable to do anything. It was already impossible to win.  However, Huang Mingyuan did not dare to be careless and ordered the cavalry to monitor the movements of the Turks on the mountain, while the infantry began to dig trenches at the foot of the mountain and place their horses to resist.

    Huang Mingyuan planned to trap all these Turks to death on the mountain.

    The Sui army suffered a tragic victory, and the entire camp was filled with mourners.  Although all coaches have to be hard-hearted, Huang Mingyuan still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw these soldiers who were alive and kicking yesterday turned into cold corpses one by one today.

    Yang Yichen, the vanguard general of the army, was seriously injured and has not yet woken up; Huang Mingyuan¡¯s favorite general Jiao Fangwei is still being rescued, and his life or death is uncertain

    Huang Mingyuan led the army, looking at the tragic situation, his heart was still trembling.

    I went to the temporarily designated field hospital area to visit the injured soldiers, and told the military medical staff to properly arrange for the injured in accordance with the standards of the Fengzhou Army.  Before Huang Mingyuan returned to the commander's tent, Chen Yuan hurriedly came to Huang Mingyuan with the post-war statistics.

    "My lord, the battle damage has been taken out."

    Huang Mingyuan did not take the thin piece of paper, but asked: "The battle damage should not be small."

    Chen Yuan also had a dark expression on his face and said: "In this battle, more than 6,000 Turkic elites were killed or wounded, including more than half of the Turkic heavy cavalry, and nearly 10,000 horses, hundreds of armors, and countless other supplies were seized"  ¡¤¡¤¡¤¡±

    ¡°Okay, let¡¯s talk about our casualties.¡±

    Chen Yuan said in a low voice: "Nearly four thousand people of our army died in this battle, among which the cavalry suffered the most heavy casualties, about two thousand cavalry. More than sixty generals and rank nine or above were killed, among which the cavalry department of the Shuozhou Army was crippled.  "

    "Where is Mo Daoying?"

    "Modao camp suffered more than 500 casualties from Jiao Fangwei down, nearly half of them were damaged, and the entire army has been disabled."

    Huang Mingyuan¡¯s heart sank heavily, as expected.

    Modao Battalion used its body to block the Turkic heavy cavalry in front of the infantry position. How could it not suffer such heavy casualties.

    "Commander Zhong, transport all the injured soldiers back to Dalandui, and cremate their bodies and take them back. Never let a brother stay as a lonely ghost in this vast grassland."

    "No!"

    Back to the Chinese army tent, there was silence. Everyone knew that Huang Mingyuan was in a bad mood, and no one dared to speak.

    At this time, Xiong Kuohai approached and said: "My lord, there are rumors in the camp that my lord deliberately consumed the Shuozhou Army today. If my lord had sent armored cavalry to support earlier, the Shuozhou Army would not have suffered such heavy casualties."

    Huang Mingyuan looked at Xiong Kuohai and asked, "What do you think?"

    "The general will believe that the Lord must have deep meaning."

    Huang Mingyuan said: "I can indeed arrange for the armored cavalry to clash with the Turkic cavalry, but the situation at that time is that even if the Turkic offensive can be contained, the armored cavalry will suffer heavy losses. Our army went out of the fortress, but we did not bring many armored cavalry.  Armored cavalry.

    Even if we can win today, if the armored cavalry suffers heavy losses, how will we be able to fight against the heavy cavalry in the hands of Bujia Khan when we arrive at Yazhang tomorrow?

    So now anyone can be abandoned, except armored cavalry.  This is the naked law of war.  "

    Xiong Kuohai nodded and said no more words.

    Huang Mingyuan actually did not say clearly that the Sui army had enough cavalry to bring to the grassland. In fact, Modao Battalion did not need to attack. Modao Battalion could not play a big role in this battle.  Therefore, in this battle, Huang Mingyuan would rather let Modao Battalion compete with the opponent for attrition than attack the armored cavalry in advance. This is also the law of war and is inevitable.  The current Modao Camp, no matter how powerful it is, actually does not have a very important position in the Sui army, so it can be sacrificed.

    Huang Mingyuan also ordered all ministries to concentrate all the armored cavalry battalions they brought with them into the Chinese Army. Unexpectedly, the number was quite large. Including Yang Yiyan's troops, the total number was nearly 2,000 cavalry.  Huang Mingyuan ordered him to form a single battalion, commanded by Yang Yiyan, and directly affiliated with the Chinese army camp.

    If this battle was a thorn in the side for the Sui army, it was already a bolt from the blue for the Turkic army on the mountain.

    The Turkic army suffered more than one-fifth casualties, and it was still an elite force. It was a miracle that it did not collapse.  However, it was just barely able to hold on. The more serious impact of the defeat in this battle was that Ashina Dashi's decisive battle goal failed. Not only did it fail to severely damage the Sui army, but it was surrounded by the opponent on the mountain.

    Now it is difficult to win with more than 20,000 remaining soldiers and defeated generals.

    Ashina Dashui was ashamed. He did not expect that the Sui army was so powerful. He had tens of thousands of cavalry in his hands.He stood down and waited for work, but he still didn't defeat the opponent.

    He has tried his best to think highly of the Sui army, but the price of despising his opponent is still too high.

    Ashina Dashi does not have much prestige in the army. If the relics had not tried their best to suppress the troops, the leaders who suffered heavy losses today would have asked to kill Ashina Dashi to comfort the three armies.

    After the defeat, Relic's mind became clearer at this time. Although the strategy was provided by Ashina Dashi, the decision was made by him after all. Ali and others were incited to deal with Ashina Dashi, and their purpose was self-evident.

    Relic himself is not good at surprising tricks. Now that the Turkic army is suffering from internal and external troubles, it will be difficult for him to lead his army to break out by himself.

    In order to hide in the mountains, the Turks did not carry much food and grass. In addition, there was only a shallow stream on the mountain, which was not enough to support the army. If they could not break out as soon as possible, they would be trapped here by the Sui army.

    "Dashi, do you have any good solutions for the situation?"

    Ashina Dashi hurriedly said: "Suppose, we can't wait any longer and break out tonight. The Sui army's crossbows are strong and they have won another victory. Their morale is high. If we wait until the opponent has fully deployed their positions, our army will never be able to break out."

    Relic also agrees with Ashina Dashi¡¯s opinion, now the only choice is to retreat.

    Unfortunately, retreat is not that easy.

    The entire south of Talosi Mountain is occupied by the Sui army. Just now, Relic discovered through sentry riding that the Sui army was digging trenches at the foot of the mountain and deploying their horses to trap them alive.

    The south side obviously cannot break through, so only other directions are left.

    The north side of Talosi Mountain is extremely steep, with a slope of more than 40 to 50 degrees. There are many steep cliffs and broken walls, making it difficult for horses to go down the mountain on a large scale.

    In this way, only the east and west sides are left.

    Relic thought about it and decided to retreat from the east.

    The east and west sides of Talosi Mountain are relatively narrow, especially the west side, which is a syncline valley bottom. As long as a group of crossbowmen are deployed here, it is easy to block the traffic from the west.

    Although Relic did not know whether the Sui army had set up an ambush here in advance, considering the danger of this place and in order to avoid an ambush, Relic was still preparing to break out from the east side on the other side.

    Although the east side is not spacious, the road down the mountain is flat, and the bottom is to the east, with an unobstructed view. Even if the Sui army sets up an ambush, it can be discovered in advance.

    And the east is conducive to cavalry charge. Considering the relics, even if the Sui army deployed troops in the east, they could break through the obstacle with the remaining hundreds of heavy cavalry.  At that time, 20,000 iron cavalry will swarm down in a torrent, and by the time the Sui army launches its attack, they will have already headed east, returning to the sea.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
