Taking advantage of the heavy rain and the inability of the rebels to organize the pursuit, Mu Youchen and others led the army to flee to the south. Although Mu Youchen's strategic plan to move to the south of the southern border was achieved, the morale of the army fell into a slump again.

In this battle, the first battalion under Mu Youchen suffered heavy losses, and there were less than 400 people left in the whole battalion. Hyun Jiayin was also injured.

The second battalion led by Xun Langyu lost more than half, and Xun Langyu's left hand was fractured, so he was unable to participate in the battle for a short time.

The ghost clan soldiers lost more than 300 people, and the rest of the soldiers added up to more than 3,000 people, almost half of the troops.

If it weren't for the fact that the rebels might be chased behind them at any time, I'm afraid these people wouldn't even have the strength to hurry.

Fortunately, it is because of the exemplary role of Xuan Jiayin, Xun Langyu and others. led the whole army, so that there were no other accidents, not even a single deserter.

"This big defeat, there are not a few victories, I'm afraid our morale can't be fully recovered."

Xun Langyu's arm was hung in front of his chest, and he was hit by an out-of-control war horse during the battle, but fortunately, the war horse no longer had much impact. Otherwise, Xun Langyu would not be as simple as a broken arm.

"I've seen the map, and there's a small town in front of us, and we can go to the town to rest. It's the rainy season in the south, and it's raining heavily, and Xu Feng can't continue to pursue, he has missed the opportunity to catch us. However, I believe that he will not give up, now the entire southern border is being invaded by the Southern Chu State, and there are enemies, rebels, and even robbers and bandits everywhere, we cannot take it lightly. ”

Mu Youchen said lightly, the loss counted in her heart was still within her acceptable range. Moreover, the losses of the ghost people are not very large, and the people of the ghost clan who cannot participate in the battle have been ordered by her to advance to the south long before the battle, and these people do not have any losses. Generally speaking, Mu Youchen didn't feel any guilt, although she chose to run away.

"In the town in front, when I passed by more than half a month ago, there was a bandit in it. The gang of bandits numbered about 1,000 people, and they often came to the town to rob within ten days or so, but they did not act recklessly, but only robbed food and money. And they also let people guard the surrounding traffic arteries and prevent the people of the town from leaving. ”

Xun Langyu has come all the way and knows the most about the things on the road, so the information provided is not bad at all.

"If that's the case, we're going to take this gang of robbers first. Yaqing, give the order to go down, rest in place, take advantage of the rain to stop, make a fire to cook, and recover our strength, and we will rush to the town this evening. ”

Immediately, Mu Youchen said to Mu Yaqing beside him.

Immediately afterward, the order was transmitted. The whole army stopped advancing, and began to make fires and make food, although the place where the battle had been fought before was pouring down, causing the ground to be muddy, but the sun rose in the east and rained in the west, and now Mu Youchen was in a position Although it was also raining, it was only a drizzle, and the ground was only slightly damp, and it was a little troublesome to find dry firewood.

The ghost people also played their role fully at this time, hunting is their best thing, one by one hares, wild boars were dragged into the temporary camp by them, attracting many soldiers to exclaim.

At the same time, Mu Youchen sent people to reconnoiter the surrounding situation, marching and fighting, intelligence first, if there is no intelligence source, no matter how powerful the army is, it is just a blind man.

Even, Mu Youchen has already begun to create a secret intelligence force, and its main frame is slowly forming, and when the core members are determined, it is the time when this intelligence force is established.

In short, the more information you have, the better.

"Youchen, many wounded soldiers have suffered from the wind and cold, I'm afraid I can't march in a hurry anymore."

After Xun Langyu heard Mu Youchen's words, he knew that Mu Youchen was going to march to the town in a hurry. But they now have thousands of wounded soldiers, of whom nearly 200 are seriously wounded, and these people have been in the rain for a long time, and some of them are sick, and it is indeed unfit to hurry.

"So, let's divide the troops, I'll take the people to go first, and you and Jiayin will follow behind with the rest of the people."

Mu Youchen said clearly, this time they fought with Xu Feng very fiercely, and the losses on both sides were very serious. But fortunately, the ghost soldiers on which Mu Youchen relied did not suffer much loss.

"But...... We have suffered serious losses, and if we divide our troops again, if we encounter any situation, I am afraid it will be difficult to deal with it. ”

Xun Langyu's face was embarrassed, and he felt a little inappropriate in dividing the troops under such circumstances.

"So, I only took eight hundred ghost clan soldiers to the town in a hurry, and the rest of the people are commanded by you and Jiayin, you must pay attention to safety, and the most important thing is to pay attention to whether there are pursuers behind you, that guy named Xu Feng is really not simple, I am worried that he will use any more means."

Mu Youchen seemed to have expected Xun Langyu to say such a thing, and when Xun Langyu had just finished speaking, she told her plan.
