According to the military order of the Qin army, a garrison like Han Hao suffered such heavy losses that some people could leave early, although they could not return to Heyang directly, but they could go to the rear to supervise the conscription, compared to the battle on the battlefield, this errand was much safer.

The wolf clan launched a battle of such a scale, but Meng Tian didn't notice it, and issued a warning to the border guards, as far as this matter is concerned, he is responsible, so after returning to Jixian County, he also wrote a complaint, but this time he criticized himself, and asked his subordinates to inform the whole army, and he was worthy of a generation of famous generals if he had this courage.

Meng Tian let each fortress count casualties and kill the enemy, this battle, the Qin army suffered nearly 100,000 casualties, but the wolf clan had more, with nearly 160,000 casualties, not counting the lost horses and ordnance, it can be said that the Qin army was a crushing victory, and the wolf clan was a fiasco, even if the horse mobility was good, the wolf clan was only those people in total, and if they wanted to replenish new soldiers, it would take time to wait, in fact, the wolf clan's action was almost eighty percent successful, if it could really kill Meng Tian, maybe it would be able to break through the Great Wall, when the time came, the Qin army had no chance to breathe, but the wolf clan would gallop all the way to Xianyang City。

Although it was a pyrrhic victory, but strategically, the Qin army was a big victory, after the failure of the attack on Jixian, the whole army of the wolf clan began to retreat, and the lost four fortresses were also recovered, so far, the Qin army's defense line is still intact, but the wolf clan has been unable to launch a fierce attack, maybe it will not be long before it will return to the grassland, the soldiers will go through the horses, and fight again after a period of time.

Meng Tian ordered the conscripts to send the wounded brothers to a dozen nearby cities, where there were many barracks and enough medicine to heal their wounds, and he also ordered the soldiers of the fortress to repair the city walls as soon as possible to prevent the wolves from attacking again.

It wasn't until all the precautions were completed that Meng Tian held a celebration banquet in Jixian County, in which Ye Shikai and Shangguan Jian and others were specially invited.

None.

"The generals and I have been born and died for many years, but there has never been such an emergency as the last time, and the wolf clan has been killed at my doorstep. Meng Tian said as he spoke, suddenly became angry, smashed the wine glass on the ground, and after drinking more than a dozen glasses of wine in one go, his face turned red, he looked a little drunk, and his tone was not as serious as before, and he was even very excited.

"General Meng was angry, and it was all the subordinates who were negligent, which made it possible for the wolf clan to sneak attack. Naturally, several generals would not "criticize" Meng Tian, on the contrary, they took the responsibility on themselves.

"No, no, no. Meng Tian waved his hand and slowly walked out of his seat, his body still shaking a little because he was drunk.

"It's General Ben's fault, it's my negligence. ”

"But. Suddenly, Meng Tian raised his voice abruptly, and everyone was shocked and raised their heads one after another.

"Fortunately, among my Qin army, there are many heroes, and this time, thanks to him, he was able to turn the danger into a disaster and defeat the wolf clan. Meng Tian suddenly shouted, "Ye boy, come out, let everyone have a good look at you." ”

Ye Shikai stood up instinctively, everyone's eyes looked at him, Meng Tian stepped forward even more excitedly, grabbed his hand, and walked in front of everyone.

"Ye Xiaozi took a thousand cavalry and scared off tens of thousands of wolf clans, and the Shifeng Fortress was able to hold on and destroy thousands of enemies, which also has his credit. Meng Tian laughed loudly, saying that it is easy to lose his temper after getting drunk, and he didn't expect that Meng Tian, who is usually so strict, would be like this.

"General Ye is a young general, but he is both civil and military, brave and strategic, and has a bright future in the future. ”

"Yes, Great Qin has such a pillar of talent, which is really a blessing for His Majesty the First Emperor and General Meng. ”

"How about it, does Ye boy have anything to say, he has made a great contribution, and he wants a reward. Meng Tian pulled Ye Shikai's arm and said.

"Ahem, General Meng, I don't want anything, I just hope that the general can allocate some money as a pension for the families of the brothers who died in battle. "Ye Shikai has never paid attention to things outside his body, in this troubled era, he takes too much money, and his life is not long......

"Okay, General Ben will promise you, as for the military merit title, I will let people count it in the future, come to the bar first. ”

………………………………………………

"Congratulations to the Marquis. As soon as he returned to the barracks, Mancang greeted him with a group of sergeants.

"Marquis, why do you say that. Ye Shikai was a little puzzled.

"My lord doesn't know, according to the Qin system, a general commands several departments, the commander of the department is the captain, and the captain commands a number of songs, the commander of the song is the military marquis, the adult himself is a thousand commanders, and has made such a great contribution, and even saved the life of General Meng, it is already a small number of military marquises, maybe he will be directly named a captain. Man Cang said excitedly.

"Yes, my lord, at the celebration banquet just now, General Meng Tian treated you like a brother, and he is the general of the entire Qin State, a high and powerful position, and he is also the confidant of His Majesty the First Emperor. ”

A group of sergeants are very excited, ancient people are divided into three, six, nine and so on, some people are born princes and generals, some people are just struggling for food and clothing at the bottom, and even fighting for their lives, naturally everyone wants to climb up, and now Ye Shikai has made great contributions, and they are also looking forward to what kind of reward they can get.

"Brethren, do you want to go home? Ye Shikai said suddenly, and everyone who was still excited immediately quieted down.

Go home, who doesn't want to go home, to be able to reunite with their loved ones, the farther away from this cruel war the better, human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, no one is born to like to charge into battle, killing people like hemp, because while fighting, their lives may be lost at any time.

However, how can the sergeant who is far away on the border say that he can go home at any time if he wants to, in the Qin army, desertion is a capital crime, and he will also sit with his family.

The crowd fell silent, and seemed to be in deep thought, and they wanted to live until the day they returned home more than the reward of wealth in front of them.

"If I give you a chance to go home, do you want it? Ye Shikai asked rhetorically.

"Commander, you ...... You're not kidding us, let's go home. "A group of sergeants looked suspicious, in the battle of Shifeng Fortress, the Qin army killed and wounded more than 3,000 brothers, even the sergeants at the lowest level knew in their hearts that there were not enough soldiers, the war was tight, and it was even more impossible for them to go back.

"There is no joke in the army, have I ever joked with you. Ye Shikai's tone was very serious, and everyone looked at each other.

"Commander, I want to go home. "I want to talk with more like-minded people about "The President's Wife of the Personal Soldier King", and pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
