When the last gorgeous firework ended, the earth fell into darkness again.
"Libation Lord, the fireworks are over." Xue Rengui said anxiously. He was on the battlefield, and the fireworks were a big deal for the Tang dynasty.
Without the fireworks, the Tang dynasty might have won, but they would not have won like this. The Tuyuhun cavalry, who were skilled in archery and horse riding, would have run away in the chaos.
However, under the light of the fireworks, the Tang dynasty's army worked together in batches to encircle and intercept a large number of Tuyuhun cavalry.
"The fireworks are over?" Meton looked up at the sky and said, "This Heavenly Dog Eclipse is about to end, and the sky is going to be bright."
These fireworks were made by him with the most precious gunpowder, and there were not many of them. Meton made the fireworks at the right time. Even if there was a mistake, it was only a few seconds.
Sure enough, as soon as Meton's voice fell, a dazzling light fell from the sky, and the sky suddenly brightened. In the blink of an eye, the world suddenly became bright again.
Li Jing put down the Sun Protective Goggles in his hand and watched the Tuyuhun cavalry being defeated one after another. The Tang dynasty's victory was certain. He could not help laughing and said, "Beat the drums, all troops, attack!"
"Dong, dong, dong!"
The earth-shaking military drums roared, and the Tang dynasty cavalry instantly divided into two groups. One group was dedicated to killing the Tang dynasty's iron weapons, and the other group was dedicated to chasing the fleeing Tuyuhun cavalry.
"It's dawn!"
Tuoba Chici led the Dang Xiang cavalry to attack the Tang Dynasty army's retreat, and then they were blocked by the Turks cavalry led by Qixin Heli. Fortunately, Tuoba Chici intended to save his forces and did not fight the Turks head-on, so they did not fall too deep. When they saw the dawn, they immediately turned around and fled to the west as if they had been pardoned.
At the same time, among a large number of Tuyuhun cavalry, Fu Yun looked at the sun that appeared again. He was so angry that he could not help but spit out another mouthful of blood.
"Oh God! Could it be that the God of the Grassland has also abandoned Tuyuhun? "Fu Yun cried out loudly.
The other Tuyuhun Kings were also pessimistic. If it was on the battlefield, they would have nothing to say if they had been defeated. However, they had been defeated in such a strange way. That short period of time had become a nightmare that everyone could not forget.
"Khan, the Tang Army has caught up again." Tianzhu King looked behind him in horror.
"Damn it!"
Fu Yun could not help but recall the nightmare of being hunted down by the Sui army. At this moment, the Tuyuhun soldiers had already been utterly defeated and could not put up any effective resistance.
"Let's go! The Tang Army is heavily armored. They can't catch up with the Tuyuhun's horses!" Fu Yun ordered. A large number of Tuyuhun cavalry fled westward.
The two armies chased each other for a full 20 li. In the end, the Tuyuhun's Qinghai Cong gained the upper hand.
"Damn it, we actually let Fu Yun escape." Yuchi Bao Lin, who was in the lead, looked hatefully at the Tuyuhun cavalry that had already disappeared.
"Whoa!" Qin Huaiyu reined in his panting warhorse and said, "We can't catch up with the Qinghai Cong in the first place. The purpose of chasing Fu Yun is to prevent Fu Yun from coming back. We have to rescue the Tuyuhun cavalry that has been trapped. "
Now that they had chased for 20 li, even if the Tuyuhun cavalry came back, they would be trapped and would not be able to come back.
"Those bastards got lucky." Cheng Chumo looked at the battlefield and said hatefully.
In an instant, Qin Huaiyu and Yuchi Bao Lin looked at Cheng Chumo with strange eyes. It must be known that his father, Cheng Yaojin, was still on the battlefield.
Cheng Chumo's face immediately darkened. He looked at his two bad friends and threatened, "You better keep your words to yourself, or else don't blame us brothers for breaking off our friendship."
"Hahaha." The two immediately burst into laughter.
Cheng Chumo's face was flushed red and he threatened the two of them again. Only then did he fly into a rage out of humiliation. He turned to the soldiers and roared, "Immediately disperse. Ten men in groups, return to the army and search. On the battlefield, there are bound to be many fish that have escaped the net.
"Yes!" The soldiers of the Right Guard immediately responded. Even a mosquito's leg was meat. These missing Tuyuhun cavalry were also military merits!
Moreover, on the grasslands, many of the Tuyuhun's cattle and sheep were used as rations for the army. They had to be found and used as rations for the army. It was difficult for the army to go deep into the grasslands to resupply. Li Jing had already formulated a strategy to use battle to support battle. Using the Tuyuhun's cattle and sheep as rations for the Tang Army.
"Kill!"
The sharp-eyed Cheng Chumo quickly found a fleeing Tuyuhun soldier. The anger that had been accumulating in his heart for a long time suddenly burst out and he rushed straight at him.
After a few moves, he killed the Tuyuhun soldier.
The same situation happened on the battlefield. The Tang Army pursued the Tuyuhun soldiers one by one, killing them one by one.
As time went by, the sounds of fighting gradually stopped. The scattered cavalry returned victorious. Each horse had one or two Blue Sea Condors tied behind it, or a few cows and sheep.
"Reporting to General, our army killed 50,000 soldiers and captured 20,000 livestock. Fu Yun was defeated and fled back to Fuqi City." A soldier excitedly reported.
"Good!"
Li Jing's calm face suddenly lit up with joy. The Tang Army not only defeated more than 200,000 Tuyuhun cavalry, but also killed 50,000 soldiers. This could be considered a great victory since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
The generals were also overjoyed. They thought it would be a hard battle, but they did not expect the victory to come so smoothly.
Everyone could not help but focus on Meton. If the credit for this great victory was divided into three, the first credit would naturally go to all the soldiers, the second credit would go to Li Jing, and the third would go to Meton.
Without the powerful gunpowder, without the accurate prediction of the solar eclipse, without Mo Jiazi's fireworks at the moment when day and night were reversed, it would be impossible to have such a great victory.
If the Heavenly Dog Devouring the Sun was a reversal of Yin and Yang, then the Son of Mohism's fireworks was a reversal of Yin and Yang. Under the brilliant fireworks, the soldiers of various armies fought on the battlefield. Such a battle experience would probably be a memory that no one would ever forget.
Li Jing shook his head and waved away the image that appeared in his mind. He asked, "How are the casualties of our army? How many soldiers are left? "
"Two thousand died and ten thousand were injured!" The soldier said with a heavy face. Even if the Tang Army was fully prepared, they still suffered heavy casualties in the face of the Tuyuhun's overwhelming charge. However, it was much better than what they had expected.
"Order Mr. Mo Wu to let the Medical School treat the wounded with all their strength." Li Jing said with a heavy face, "As for the soldiers who died, bury them on the spot. The military officials will record them one by one and double their military merits. After returning to the capital, they will be compensated by the imperial court."
