Zhao Muyun led his 1,100 infantrymen and 300 cavalrymen to defend the enemy outside the city.
The invading enemy was defeated, 600 of them were killed, 300 were captured, and the Yin family Tartar captain Ogeduo was beheaded.
On the other hand, Yinzhou Prefecture suffered 300 infantry casualties and 50 cavalry losses.
This battle was a great victory, and both Pei Lun and King Zhelan were greatly shocked and had different thoughts.
King Zhelan was worried that Zhao Muyun's growing power would threaten his rear, so he wanted to send more troops to attack. However, his subordinates did not buy it and unanimously demanded that they take down Weizhou City first.
So King Zhelan followed the wishes of the people and launched a strong attack on Weizhou.
Tong Gu, the commander of the Zhechoufu in Weizhou, coordinated with more than ten Zhechoufu troops to stubbornly resist the attack of the Tartars.
On the side of Pei Lun, the governor of Hedong Road, there was an emergency call from Weizhou on the one hand, and a request for help from Guannei Road on the other.
He discussed with Sima Canjun Zhang Liang and made a decision, which was to commend Zhao Muyun's merits to the court and recommend him as the lieutenant of the seven prefectures, commanding the troops of the seven prefectures to fight against King Zhelan.
At this time, the city of Yinzhou was filled with the joy of victory.
Such a great victory further consolidated Zhao Muyun's position at the border, as he had been promoted based on his military merits.
Today, the country is in turmoil and the Tartars are powerful. Dayin's border needs a general as skilled in fighting as Zhao Muyun.
In the Duwei Mansion, Zhao Muyun summoned his men to summarize the gains and losses of this battle.
There were many bright spots in this battle, but also many shortcomings were exposed.
Every general participating in the war needs to think carefully and review the situation.
Tang Yanhai, Wang Tiezhu, Han Zhong, Lin Feng, Shi Yong, Wu Shangzhi, Huan Naxue, Tian Qing and others sat upright with serious expressions.
Zhao Wen and Bai Ruolan also attended the meeting, with no expression on their faces.
However, Bai Ruolan's eyes never left Zhao Muyun since she entered the conference room and sat down. Her eyes moved and her cheeks flushed slightly.
Huan Naxue saw all of this. Her sapphire eyes looked at Zhao Muyun and Bai Ruolan from time to time, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Suddenly, I felt a surge of annoyance in my heart, my stomach tightened, and I began to retch slightly.
Li Si and other guards were standing guard outside the conference room and were not allowed to be disturbed unless necessary.
Yinji could also participate in the military meeting of Yinzhou Duwei Mansion with dignity.
His previous performance on the battlefield and the fact that Zhao Muyun had pulled him back from the brink of death twice made him take the initiative to lower his attitude and arrogance and reconcile with Zhao Muyun.
In the battle report that Zhao Muyun wrote to Pei Lun, the credit for killing the silver Tartars was also attributed to Yinji.
This was indeed the case. He shot Ogoto in the stomach, helping Zhao Muyun to kill Ogoto successfully.
However, Yinji was also very clear that with Zhao Muyun's own strength, beheading Ogeduo Tuo was just a matter of whether he wanted to or not.
The reason why Zhao Muyun chose to kill the enemy chief alongside Yinji was that he wanted Yinji to make a contribution as well.
After the army returned to the city, Yinji found that Zhou Yuan had already left, not caring about Bai Sheng's life or death. He immediately realized that the Jinyang Zhou family was just a businessmen and might not be reliable at critical moments.
He then took the initiative to show goodwill to Zhao Muyun, expressing that he would use the power of the royal family to cooperate deeply with Zhao Muyun.
It goes without saying that Yinji intends to compromise with Zhao Muyun on the issue of private salt.
However, Zhao Muyun just smiled and said nothing at the time.
Yinji didn't know what Zhao Muyun meant, so he simply stopped asking.
Now, Zhao Muyun convened a military meeting and called Yinji to participate, which made Yinji very excited.
He stood straight, looking as if he was about to listen attentively.
After scanning the room on both sides and seeing all the main officers and commanders present, Zhao Muyun coughed lightly and said loudly:
"Everyone, this battle was carried out as planned, and the results were not too far off, and the casualties were within my acceptable range."
"While there are gains, there are losses. I hope everyone will analyze this battle carefully from their own perspective, speak up actively, and learn from the lessons of this battle, which will provide us with valuable experience for future battles."
"Who will speak first?"
As soon as Zhao Muyun finished speaking, Shi Yong was the first to stand up and said excitedly: "Boss Zhao, please let me go first!"
"Yes! Xiao Shitou and his hundred men are the key to this battle. If they hadn't been fighting on the city walls, the Tartar leader wouldn't have underestimated the enemy and sent two or three centurions to attack the city without even riding horses!"
Zhao Muyun praised the performance of Shi Yong and the 100 guards on the city wall five miles north of Yinzhou.
More than half of Shi Yong's troops were killed in this battle, and the casualty ratio was the highest in the entire army.
"Over half of us have been killed or wounded. We are so ashamed of the attention that Boss Zhao paid to us!" Shi Yong showed regret on his face. "If all my hundred men were Shu Lechuan's old men, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses."
"Little Stone, you guys have done a great job! Leading a hundred new recruits to withstand the Tartar attack has greatly boosted our morale."
Zhao Muyun smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the regrets. Let's focus on what you gained from this battle."
"Oh... the thing I've learned is that this knife is very useful. It's as easy to chop up the Tartars as it is to chop up melons and vegetables. It would be great if everyone had one!" Shi Yong scratched his head and said what he had learned.
"Little Stone, that's it? We all know this knife is very useful! If our entire army was equipped with this knife, we could directly chop down King Zhelan's lair!"
Tang Yanhai shouted, "You're still rushing to speak first, but why are all your words so meaningless?"
"I...I have something else to say!"
Hearing Tang Yanhai's teasing, Shi Yong's face flushed red as he said unconvincedly, "In the future, we must... strengthen our training. Boss Zhao is right. The more sweat you shed in peacetime, the less blood you will shed in battle!"
