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

An hour later, the sentry horse camp dragged its tired body to clean the battlefield.

In this battle, hundreds of defenders at Zijin Pass were first killed and wounded, and then the pass was set on fire, and all two thousand defenders were burned to death!

Then Zhao Jingzi lured the enemy with 300 cavalry, and exploded with poisonous fire thunder and thunder blunderbuss to destroy the formation and kill more than a thousand cavalry. Most of the 12,000 horsemen who pursued them into the canyon were wiped out by the fierce fire and poisonous smoke. Only a few hundred survived by hiding in caves.

In the end, there were about 7,000 horsemen outside the valley. They killed each other under Xie Chengan's reverse rolling bead curtain tactics, were trampled by the horses, and were wounded by the sentry horse camp, leaving more than 5,000 corpses again!

Including the garrison in the pass, there were a total of 22,000 enemy troops, and only 2,000 horsemen fled.

In this battle, 20,000 foreign riders will be killed! This is already one-fifth of the enemy's strength this time!

As for the spoils of war, in addition to the 300 prisoners and the more than 10,000 war horses gathered along the way, there were actually a large number of firearms and even artillery! What's even more hateful is that each foreign cavalry carries dozens of taels worth of property!

There is no need to think about these gold and silver treasures, they are clearly plundered by these animals from all over the place. I'm afraid that behind every copper coin, there is the blood of a Han family member!

It's just a pity that the two fires in this battle not only killed more than 10,000 enemy troops, but also burned to death tens of thousands of horses. The more than 10,000 war horses that were still useful were all turned into dark horses.

Even among these more than 10,000 war horses, only 3,000 were still able to be ridden. The rest were injured and could not withstand long journeys or battle battle charges.

Fortunately, foreigners were not good at using those firearms and artillery, and they were caught off guard by Xie Chengan and had no chance to use them, thus giving the Sentry Horse Camp an advantage in vain.

Compared with the impressive results, the Shaomaying camp only lost 176 people when they rushed into the pass and lured the enemy. There are still more than 800 people who can fight in the next battle.

Zhao Jingzi and the other seven centurions looked at Xie Chengan with excitement and admiration in their eyes.

For example, Zhao Jingzi originally had some respect for Xie Chengan, but that was because he recognized his character as the magistrate of Anlan County, his integrity as an official, his request for the people, and his lack of fear of high-ranking officials in the court.

After being challenged in the camp, the seven centurions admired Xie Chengan's personal martial arts skills, and how he was able to get along with rough guys like them after switching from a civil service to a military position.

However, after the Battle of Zijingguan, everything changed.

They are truly convinced from the bottom of their hearts! This ridiculously young general could lead them to victory, a great victory!

Since the beginning of the war, hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers have been killed or injured in various places. As for the foreigners, they probably didn’t even hurt two thousand!

The battle at Zijingguan can be said to have severely damaged the enemy!

Those hundreds of prisoners, according to Zhao Jingzi's wishes, were simply killed. What is the enemy's head? That is military merit and money!

The military merit regulations of the imperial court clearly state that anyone who captures or kills an enemy knight alive will be promoted to one level and rewarded with twenty taels of silver! 20,000 people are still 20,000 people, they are clearly 400,000 taels of silver!

There are only a thousand people in the sentry camp. If we divide them evenly, each person can get 400 taels of silver!

As for all materials seized by the army, they need to be handed over. Su Mulan rolled her eyes and asked Xie Chengan's generals to go and count the loot. However, she saw the right opportunity and secretly collected a batch of valuable belongings.

Because there were so many horses, cattle and sheep burned to death, the sentry horse camp simply stopped eating military rations and just picked up the ones that were not too burnt and ate them.

Su Mulan, Ye Yu, and Ye Wu were helpless. Although the aroma of barbecue filled the mountains and plains, they suddenly lost their appetite when they thought that many of them were half-cooked enemy soldiers.

Xie Chengan led the sentry camp to rest for an hour and was discussing the next battle plan with the centurions. However, a spy reported that the foreigners had defeated the capital and were now being hunted!

I learned from the spies that Mr. Yu is really talented. With the help of 220,000 old, weak and remnant soldiers with complicated sources and unstable hearts, he did not passively defend the city, but went out to fight in the field.

We fought the key battles and won!

As more and more reinforcements gathered, the foreign leaders saw that the situation was not good and wanted to retreat. Unexpectedly, bad news came again. Zijin Pass was broken and the 20,000 rear army was wiped out!

The enemy chief was shocked, now it was over. The capital could not be conquered, and its retreat was seized. This is a slap in the face, run away!

Of the 60,000 enemy troops, more than 10,000 were lost in the battle of the capital, and the remaining 50,000 horsemen retreated and looted. General Shi, the chief defense officer of the capital, personally led the cavalry to pursue them. The two parties were not far from Zijingguan Pass.

The war was not over yet. After receiving the report, Xie Chengan quickly organized the sentry camp to prepare for the war. If the enemy dares to come to Zijingguan, it means that they have already received their revenge and know that they have few troops.

With so many enemy troops, Xie Chengan's more than 800 cavalry could not stop them. Most of the poisonous fire mines, wind dust mines, fire oil cans, etc. that he had brought out earlier had been used up, and even the surrounding combustibles had been burned.

What can be done to delay the enemy's retreat?

While Xie Chengan was hesitating, Su Mulan was at her wits' end. Looking up and looking around, she accidentally caught a glimpse of more than 10,000 war horses, thousands of cattle, and tens of thousands of sheep. She suddenly had a plan in mind and asked Xie Chengan for advice.

These cattle and sheep were originally rations carried by the enemy and accompanied the rear of the army. After the defeat of 20,000 enemy cavalry, these unharmed cattle and sheep fell into the hands of the sentry horse camp.

There are few people in the army, and they really can't care about these cattle and sheep.

Two hours later, it was getting dark, and 50,000 enemy cavalry finally escaped to Zijingguan. Although the entire Guancheng was burned to blackness, for these foreigners, they saw hope of escaping.

Although the attack on the capital of the Southern Dynasties failed, from the start of this battle in July to now, more than 200,000 enemy elites have been killed, and countless gold and silver goods have been looted. As long as they are safely transported back to their home base, it can still be considered a great victory.

Although there were more than 100,000 pursuers behind them, they did not dare to catch up and fight, otherwise the grassland warriors would still have the strength to fight, and it would not be impossible to even defeat them.

It's just that the way back is cut off. Although there are only more than a thousand horses to report, it is still a huge hidden danger. If they are blocked in the pass, with more and more reinforcements from the Southern Dynasty, even 50,000 tigers cannot hold down four or five times the number of wolves. .

Nowadays, there is a scorched earth in front of and behind the pass. Neither enemy troops nor any ambush can be seen. There are only tens of thousands of horses, cattle and sheep scattered all over the mountainside.

The enemy chief was overjoyed. After taking a short rest in Guanzhong, he quickly ordered his troops to withdraw outside the fortress. By the way, thousands of cavalry were sent to drive the horses, cattle and sheep away.

However, before the thousands of people who were dispatched could reach the mountainside, thunder suddenly exploded, and dozens of fires and smoke rose. The war horses, cattle and sheep on the mountainside suddenly howled miserably, and a fire broke out behind them, and they rushed towards the foot of the mountain with all their strength.

The enemy chief was shocked. Now that 50,000 horsemen have left the barrier, if these fire horses, fire oxen, and fire sheep rush into the formation, wouldn't it be a heavy casualty?

The enemy chief had been in battle for a long time. Although he was frightened, he commanded the front army to continue to advance. We have known for a long time that even if there are enemy troops here, there are only a thousand or so. How can they stop the front army from charging thousands of cavalry?

He also ordered the rear army of 20,000 people to slowly return to Guancheng with their baggage. The remaining 20,000 Chinese soldiers dismounted and formed a defensive formation, firing their bows at the horses, cattle, and sheep rushing down the hillsides on both sides.
