After cleaning up the battlefield, more than 14,000 enemies were killed, 2,000 were captured, 3,000 of our troops were killed, 1,200 were seriously wounded, and 3,000 were lightly wounded. (http; (No pop-up window to read)

I was even more concerned about my soldiers, and I specially asked He Ruitian to count them in detail, five hundred killed in battle, one hundred and ten seriously wounded, and three hundred lightly wounded.

Entering Longzhou City, while ordering to speed up the repair of the city wall, he ordered all the doctors in the city to be called to treat the wounded soldiers.

The matter of torturing the enemy army is left to He Ruitian, his fiery temper should be a disaster for those captured enemies, right? It's just that he has to be fierce, so that it is easy to ask about the situation.

As for the fallen officers and men of our army, they ordered them to be buried thickly, and the corpses of the enemy soldiers were left in the wilderness, and when the day dawned, the people were allowed to dig pits and bury them.

Although I didn't sleep all night, I was still in an extremely high mood, and I had no intention of sleeping, and after forcing Luo Rou to rest, I went to visit the injured soldiers everywhere, and after some comfort, the sky was also dawning.

After dawn, the magistrate of Longzhou commanded the people to kill pigs and cattle to comfort the soldiers, and on the other hand, organized the people to go out of the city to collect the corpses of the enemy soldiers and bury them in a centralized manner. Many of these people in the city originally lived in villages outside the city, because of the slaughter and plundering of the Annan people, they had to leave their homes and hide in the city, there are still a few people who have a blood feud with the Annan people, when the corpses are collected, many people can't help but scold, some even kick the corpses of the Annan people, spit on the foam, and some think of their relatives who were killed, and cry bitterly.

Sumptuous food was delivered to each soldier one by one, and after a good meal, these soldiers who had been busy all night fell asleep.

I, Luo Rou, Wu Ruilin, He Ruitian and Sun Jingfeng inspected the city defense together.

On the city walls and outside the city walls, traces of last night's bloody battle abound, blood, broken weapons, and torn corpses can be seen everywhere.

In the distance, a light horse galloped in.

Wu Ruilin looked at the rider who was gradually becoming clearer, and said, "That's the herald sent by General Kang." ”

Sure enough, a short time later, the light rider came to us and gave us the order.

It turned out that Duan Yonggang set up an ambush and won a complete victory, Kang Yan had meritorious soldiers to return to Chongzuo to celebrate their achievements, and ordered me, Luo Rou, and Wu Ruilin to take the troops and horses back to Chongzuo, and Sun Jingfeng also went with him, and the city defense was temporarily responsible for Sun Jingfeng's designated capable personnel, and those who were seriously injured and had difficulty moving temporarily stayed in Longzhou.

The soldiers who had rested for more than an hour were called up from the quilt one by one, and after some rectification, I, Luo Rou, Wu Ruilin and others took more than 15,000 people to Chongzuo. Although the soldiers did not rest well, they thought that they would be rewarded by the commander after returning to Chongzuo, and they were still full of energy. When I walked to the front of the team, I also had the excitement of a spring breeze and a horse hoof.

Two hours later, a group of men and horses at the foot of the mountain on the right also headed to the left.

It was too far away to see the outfit, and it was not clear whether it was friend or foe, so the marching team was ordered to immediately hide in place.

Looking at the huge cavalry team, Sun Jingfeng said worriedly: "Is it from Annan?" Are they going to sneak up on Chongzuo in broad daylight? New defeat last night, and again today? ”

"It doesn't look like it, it's so blatant, it should be a friendly army!" Wu Ruilin said.

"Maybe it's General Duan Yonggang's Ning Yuan Iron Cavalry!" Sun Jingfeng guessed.

"I think so, but we still have to be more prepared!" Wu Ruilin said.

I said: "Be careful, it's not a big mistake, or send a fast horse to Chongzuo to report the news, please General Kang take precautions as soon as possible!" ”

"According to General Wang's words!" Wu Ruilin nodded in agreement.

He Ruitian hurriedly said: "I'll arrange it immediately!" ”

"Wait, they're sending someone!" Wu Ruilin stopped He Ruitian.

Sure enough, several riders in the distance were speeding towards us.

Luo Rou and I have far better eyesight than others, and when the two sides are still more than a mile apart, we have already recognized the person who ran in front, not Duan Yonggang, who else came.

"It's General Duan!" I said.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and waved their hands to let the soldiers lying on the ground lift their guards.

When we were young, Duan Yonggang came to us.

After a period of greetings, he rode towards Chongzuo.

Soon, several people naturally talked about the details of the battle.

Sun Jingfeng and He Ruitian passed our battle, and Duan Yonggang sighed after complimenting him.

I was stunned in my heart, what the herald said about Duan Yonggang's ambush and victory was fake?

He Ruitian was a straightforward person, and when he saw that Duan Yonggang seemed to have something unspeakable, he didn't know how to hide it, so he asked, "Is there something wrong with General Duan's battle?" ”

Duan Yonggang looked at the faintly visible Chongzuo City and said, "The enemy is as the general expected, not long after our army set up an ambush, more than 25,000 enemy troops entered our army's ambush circle......"

Wu Ruilin interjected: "Is there really twenty-five thousand?" ”

According to the intelligence, the enemy army only came 30,000, but in the first battle of Longzhou, Wu Ruilin and I obviously felt that the enemy army was by no means more than 30,000. As Duan Yonggang said, there were 25,000 defeated troops, and 14,000 were annihilated in the first battle of Longzhou, and 2,000 were captured, and the enemy soldiers should be about 41,000 people.

"Nothing more, no less!" Duan Yonggang said: "Although the enemy's strength is more than twice that of me, but it is in the midst of a new defeat, the army is not in order, the people are loud, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and suddenly encountered an ambush by my tiger and wolf division, and the fighting spirit was completely lost, and many of our troops put down their weapons and squatted on the ground before they rushed to the front. Seeing that these more than 25,000 enemy troops were about to be annihilated, they ...... It turned out that this Ruan Zhaoqi was not incompetent, he had already arranged reinforcements on the front line of the border, and when the enemy army in ambush had wiped out the whole army, their reinforcements arrived. The enemy troops who were ambushed saw the arrival of reinforcements, and their morale was greatly boosted, and the reinforcements desperately rescued, and our army, which was attacked on both sides, was unable to block the meeting of the two armies, and was finally accepted back by them. In the end, only more than 6,000 enemies were killed......"

Duan Yonggang's tone looked very regretful, he couldn't completely annihilate the enemy, for him, the victory was greatly discounted, the important thing was that he was facing a group of routs, of course, the enemy's reinforcements were not routs. But in his opinion, he should end the battle before reinforcements arrived.

"General Duan doesn't have to mind, the general can still defeat the enemy army in the face of an enemy several times his size, and annihilate thousands of enemies, which is a great merit." Wu Ruilin persuaded on the side.

Duan Yonggang hated and hated, and everyone persuaded him for a while, and then he lost his anger.

Not long after, a crowd came to rush, and after a closer look, it was Kang Yan, Jiang Song and others.

We immediately raced our horses and ran over. A few miles apart, they all turned over and dismounted, and bowed to the ground.

"Everybody, please get up—" Kang Yan and the others also got off their horses, laughing and helping us up one by one.

Jiang Song said on the side: "When the general received the good news, he was overjoyed, and said, 'This battle was a complete victory, thanks to the courage and tenacity of the three armies', and the general insisted on welcoming the camp for ten miles ......."

We don't even dare to deserve this glory. After greeting everyone one by one, a few of us walked side by side with Kang Yan, Jiang Song, and Zheng Haoliang to the camp.

The wedding feast for the celebration had already been prepared, and the entire barracks was immersed in joy.

In the handsome camp, Kang Yan raised his glass and said: "In this battle, 20,000 enemies were annihilated, which is still all the great victories of our army before. For the sake of this victory, let's toast them together—"

After drinking three times, Duan Yonggang left his seat and bowed to the ground, and said: "General, the failure to completely annihilate the power of the realm this time is all because of my fault, please deal with it by military law!" ”

Kang Yanli sat down and helped him up and said, "General Duan's words are wrong! The failure to completely annihilate the enemy army this time is actually because I did not expect the enemy to know, and it has nothing to do with the general! ”

The crowd chatted a few more words about the defeat, and the topic was quickly pulled away, after all, this was a celebration party, not a post-war summary.

After a while, some people were already talking nonsense.

Kang Yanhong's eyes let the military Chinese write the fold of the victory, that is, he ordered the eight hundred li to be sent to the capital quickly. In the excerpt, me, Luo Rou, Wu Ruilin, Duan Yonggang, He Ruitian, Sun Jingfeng and others were really praised, and all the credit was credited to us.

After some heavy drinking, he was dizzy and was helped back to the barracks by Luo Rou, and when he woke up, it was already the middle of the moon.

Luo Rouyi stayed by my side untiringly.

"Why don't you rest! It's so late. I looked at Luo Rou and said distressedly.

Luo Rou said: "It's nothing, I'm not sleepy!" ”

"How can you not be sleepy, I didn't sleep well last night, come, sleep!" I'm going to help her.

Luo Rou seemed to have something on her mind, and said, "I'm really not sleepy, are you still sleepy?" If you wake up, go out for a walk with me! ”

"Good!" I didn't ask too much, and quickly got dressed and went out of the barracks with her.

When the soldiers outside the door saw that we were going out so late, they immediately followed us to protect us.

"Don't follow, let's go casually!" Luo Rou waved away her own soldiers and led me away.

Luo Rou dragged me all the way out of the barracks to a small mound.
