Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

Sure enough, the enemy chieftain was calm and well-organized in the face of danger. The three armies were in good order under his command.

The front army has already rushed out, and the rear army has retreated into the city. Most of the fire horses, fire cattle, and fire sheep that attacked from both sides were shot down. Thousands of sheep rushed into the formation and were quickly killed.

But those thousands of fire horses were extremely fast, and the thousands of fire cows had rough skin and thick flesh. Although they were all killed in the end, they still caused thousands of casualties to the Chinese army.

There were only a few people in Shaoma Camp, so they didn't dare to show up and kept hiding in the dark.

After the enemy chieftain took stock after the battle, only about 30,000 of the 50,000 horsemen were left. The critical road ahead was blocked by dead horses, cows, sheep, and people, and it was impossible to escape on horseback. But half of the enemy army was not seen, and the enemy chief jumped up and cursed in anger.

However, before he could start searching for traces of the sentry horse camp, the court's pursuers had arrived!

Although the gate could be defended, the city wall had been burned to a crisp by the fire. The imperial pursuers brought in cannons and blasted them, and the city wall collapsed in less than half an hour.

The enemy chief had no choice. The dismounted prairie warriors were weak chickens and had no place to run. He had no choice but to abandon his 30,000 men and lead dozens of his followers to escape by taking a small road.

Seeing the imperial army approaching, the sentry horse camp appeared. Under attack from both front and rear, they fought for another two hours. After more than half of the 30,000 cavalry trapped in the pass were killed, the remaining more than 10,000 cavalry abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

In this battle, there are 100,000 enemy cavalry. Xie Chengan's troops killed 20,000 people, with more than 10,000 casualties in the battle of the capital, and another 30,000 riders died or surrendered in the battle of Zijingguan.

The less than 40,000 riders left will still face harassment from soldiers and civilians along the way. I am afraid that only 10,000 or 20,000 riders will be able to return to the grassland. After this battle, the enemy's vitality in the grassland was severely damaged, and they will no longer be able to invade the border within a hundred years!

Xie Cheng'an led the sentry camp and met General Shi, the chief military officer of the imperial court. Seeing that Xie Chengan was so young, General Shi couldn't help but praise him. This General Shi has a long beard and carries a broadsword to kill dozens of enemy cavalry. He looks like the God of War of the Three Kingdoms, Guan Gong.

When he learned that it was the Shao Maying's strategy of using fire horses, oxen and fire sheep that delayed the enemy cavalry's opportunity to escape, General Shi was even more grateful to Xie Cheng'an.

He is the governor of the capital defense battle and the commander-in-chief of this pursuit battle. In the battle of Zijin Pass, 30,000 enemy cavalry were annihilated. It can be said that this great victory was all thanks to Xie Chengan!

Although General Shi led 100,000 troops to pursue and kill the enemy's 50,000 cavalry, he had a good idea of ​​the true combat strength of both sides. So he took his time and did not dare to engage the enemy. Otherwise, victory or defeat would be really unpredictable.

When he chased to the pass, he saw that the enemy troops dismounted to defend the city, which surprised him greatly. The prairie cavalry dismounted, so what else is there to fear? They brought in cannons to knock down the city wall and then went in.

Although there are still 30,000 people in Guancheng, firstly, the leader has fled and there is no one to command; secondly, there are heavy troops advancing in front, and there are sentry horse camps behind to harass; thirdly, although the dismounted cavalry are more powerful than the official army, they are outnumbered after all. .

In the end, more than half of them were killed and wounded, and these 30,000 people no longer had the will to fight. Except for the thousands of desperadoes who fought to the end, the remaining more than 10,000 riders surrendered.

The sentry horse battalion left the city on the fifth day of October and has been fighting for ten consecutive days. It has run out of ammunition and food, and both men and horses are exhausted. At General Shi's suggestion, Xie Chengan led his troops back to the capital to rest.

They no longer participated in the subsequent long-distance chase. There are still 40,000 enemy cavalry. Although it is a considerable battle achievement, it must be left to the friendly troops to order soup.

Shaomaying returned to the capital, and Yu Shangshu personally went out of the city to greet him. After several battles, only 666 of the original thousand riders came back alive. The remaining more than 300 people have been tied to horses and transported back by their comrades.

Although they won the battle to defend the capital, their fighting power was not as good as that of foreigners. Although they killed more than 10,000 horsemen, they suffered more than 50,000 casualties.

What a miserable victory!

Now counting the 250,000 troops lost by the Supreme Emperor, the imperial court lost more than 300,000 officers and soldiers in this battle this year. It was also a serious loss of vitality.

Especially these 300,000 soldiers are the most elite troops in the country. After this battle, the imperial court's deterrent effect on surrounding vassal countries will inevitably drop by one level.

Naturally, Xie Chengan and Su Mulan would not think so much. Major national affairs were planned by senior officials of the imperial court. Xie Chengan only knew that with this military achievement, he no longer had to be afraid of Minister Ning.

Su Mulan was so happy that her head was filled with wealth. She wished she could calm down as soon as possible so that she could count the gold and silver treasures stored in the space one by one.

The 30,000 people who stayed at Zijingguan were the elite of the enemy chieftain's headquarters. All the treasures they gained from going south were in the army. When the city was broken, Su Mulan didn't kill people stupidly. Instead, she looked around for places where the enemy's baggage was stored.

When the fire, horses, oxen, and sheep broke out, the enemy chief saw that the situation was not good, so he ordered the rear army to retreat to Guancheng, and the baggage was stored in several places near Beicheng.

Before they could make another move, the imperial army arrived, and most of the enemy troops went to Nancheng to defend. There were only 3,000 people in Beicheng and they were killed and dispersed by Shaomaying.

The place where the luggage was temporarily stored was visited by Su Mulan one by one. The sentry horse battalion only cares about grabbing heads. After all, a head is worth twenty taels of silver, so they are going crazy.

Su Mulan was the only one who collected hundreds of carts of goods without even having time to take a closer look!

As soon as the battle was over, Xie Chengan discovered that Su Mulan had been giggling, and her wandering look made him angry and laughing at the same time.

Others don't know, but he knows that Su Mulan has the ability to store and retrieve things out of thin air, so he doesn't know that she has made a fortune!

Since all the troops were still hunting down the remnants of the enemy, it was not the time to award rewards yet. Yu Shangshu kindly commended Xie Chengan and the soldiers of Shaomaying and ordered them to return to the camp to rest.

Back in the camp, ordinary soldiers could rest, but Xie Chengan was still very busy.

After all, we still need to compile the list of casualties and soldiers, as well as the list of meritorious soldiers. They also need to deliver the spoils from the sentinel camp and draft a battle report to the Ministry of War.

Fortunately, when I returned to the camp, Jiang Ruiyan was there to help with the writing. No one bothered Su Mulan, so she asked Ye Yu and Ye Xue to guard the door of the barracks while she slowly took stock of all the gains from the trip.

When the cannon goes off, there is ten thousand taels of gold!

It's just that Su Mulan gained more than ten thousand taels of gold from this battle. It took her three full days, but she still hadn't counted all the goods in the space!

Nowadays, only 380,000 taels of gold, 13.2 million taels of silver, treasure banknotes, banknotes, etc. have been counted, as well as countless hundreds of thousands of gold and silver jewelry, utensils, etc.

In addition to these valuable belongings, there are many supplies that Sumulan has not collected. Such as firecrackers, artillery and other firearms, other swords, guns, bows and arrows, and armor. There are also corn, rice, wheat, miscellaneous grains and other grains!

Although these things are valuable, the target is too large and difficult to realize. And taking them all away would definitely arouse the suspicion of the court.

Therefore, she let go of all grain and military vehicles and did not receive any space.

After more than ten days, all the fighting between the officers and soldiers was over. Only ten thousand enemy troops fled back to the grassland and sent envoys to ask for surrender and negotiate peace.

At this point, since July, this war that hurt both sides has been eliminated. Both sides were unable to fight anymore, so they called a truce and licked their wounds.

The war is over, now comes the reward based on merit!
