Seeing Gu Shaofeng fall to the ground and breathless, Fang Ling took a heavy breath, at this time, his whole body was stained red with blood, in addition to most of the enemy's blood, he was also injured in more than ten places. 35xs

These injuries had already appeared in the middle of the battle, and several cuts had even cut into the bones, but Fang Ling fought with the pain. He is well aware of the importance of being a manager, and if he shows a little injury, he may be used by the enemy, and it will affect his own morale.

Taking a deep breath, there was also a little weakness in addition to the pain, if it weren't for Gu Shaofeng's name, I was afraid that it would be really difficult to take his head, Fang Ling drove forward, cut off Gu Shaofeng's head with a knife, and hurried towards the Valley of Thorns.

It's just that Fang Ling didn't find out, just when he killed Gu Shaofeng, Xiao Xue had already flown to the top of the mountain not far away, only a thousand zhang away from the official road.

If it weren't for Fang Ling's injury and re-body, and his attention was on Gu Shaofeng, he was afraid that he would be able to find her clues.

Xiao Xue watched Fang Ling kill Gu Shaofeng with cold eyes, and saw him ride away after cutting off his head, his eyes stayed on Gu Shaofeng's corpse for a while, then turned around and left, disappearing into the vast mountains and forests.

Along the way, the soldiers who had not had time to flee far saw the general's head held high in Fang Ling's hand, and they were even more frightened, and fled for their lives as if they were dead.

When he came to the Valley of Thorns, Fang Ling stopped his horse, raised his head high, and roared: "Gu Shaofeng is dead!"

Although the soldiers of Shicheng Kingdom were exhausted, when they heard this exciting news, they immediately cheered and screamed, and Song Ying'er and others, who had observed the end of the battle, also hurried down from the mountain and joined everyone.

Counting the battlefield, everyone was gradually infected by a strong sadness,

This was the first battle of Shicheng Kingdom, because of Fang Ling's strategy, he successfully achieved the goal of sniping Gu Shaofeng, but the number of 6,000 guards of the Gu family and the quality of elite soldiers caused great damage to everyone. 35xs

Although the loss of 3,000 men and horses is not heavy, it can also be described as shocking, including 300 dead, more than 300 seriously injured, as many as 2,000 lightly injured, less than 400 people who are really intact and not injured, even the strongest guards of the Divine Crossbow Battalion, 10 people were killed in battle.

The casualties among the soldiers in the three counties led by Zhang Jiyuan were even more serious, and half of them were killed, and none of them were not injured, most of them were drenched in blood, and the condition was miserable.

The most troublesome thing is that because the battle is too fierce, almost all of the later battles are fought by stepping on the corpses of the dead on both sides, and many of the dead have long been unrecognizable, and it is not clear who is the enemy and who is the companion.

Fang Ling couldn't help but sigh secretly, there was a little sadness in his heart, although death was unavoidable, he had long been accustomed to such a cruel life, but people were not grass and trees, how could they be ruthless?

Three thousand soldiers came out of Shicheng Kingdom alive, but how many of them could go back alive was unknown, however, even if there were tears in his heart, Fang Ling couldn't show it, as the commander-in-chief, he was the backbone of the soldiers, if there was more sympathy and mercy on the battlefield, it would be himself who died.

He showed a tough expression, and ordered everyone to start digging a pit at the foot of the mountain outside the valley and burying the corpses in it, including the men and horses of the Gu family's army, after all, everyone is the people of Chu State, there is no injustice and no hatred, but each is its own master, and it is the glory of being a warrior to be able to die in battle, and burying them in the soil is also a respect for the opponent.

Everyone silently dug the soil, and the tears of the amorous people fell into the soil one by one, and then buried this sadness with the corpse, and when they turned around, they had a resolute expression, because everyone knew that this was only the beginning of the war, and it was far from the end.

After Song Ying'er bandaged Fang Ling, together with Mo Xiang, they bandaged and healed the other soldiers along with the medical soldiers, and everyone sat on the ground outside the valley. 35xs

Dong Canghai and Shen Huantian were only slightly injured, but their physical strength was also greatly consumed, and they were a little panting when they spoke, after all, this battle with a huge disparity between the enemy and us was too intense.

After the two of them finished directing the burial, they quickly came to Fang Ling, looking at Gu Shaofeng's head, Dong Canghai said disdainfully: "The Gu family's personal guards are worthy of their reputation, they are really elite soldiers, even if they are attacked by us, the formation has never been in chaos, but this Gu Shaofeng has a false reputation, and the war is not over, such a person can also be called a general in the north, it is really ridiculous." ”

Shen Huantian smiled lightly: "Brother Dong is right, but if you think about it carefully, it is a matter of course, although the Gu family has three generations of generals, but the first two generations of generals have stayed on the battlefield in the east, only Gu Shaofeng as a Yizhou State After the founding of the country, although he was young and famous, and there was a famous teacher to guide him, but he had never experienced a big war, the so-called trickery, it was just a piece of paper, and he commanded well in the early days of this time, but he was frightened by His Royal Highness later, so he was scared away. ”

Fang Ling said lightly: "Fortunately, Gu Shaofeng slipped away, otherwise this battle would really continue, and the number of people lost by our people would not be hundreds, but I am afraid that more than a thousand people will be compensated!"

This said, Dong Canghai and Shen Huantian's faces were gloomy, the fact is just as Fang Ling thought, Shichengguo's army is all new recruits, most of them are only trained for three years, although after various training strengthened, the heart and combat effectiveness are extraordinary, but without the baptism of war, it is still delicate, if it really continues to fight, the consequences are unimaginable.

After all, the number of people killed in this battle Gu family army was only more than 4,000 people, and some of them were killed because they were seriously injured, and they were killed when the army was in chaos, and the number of people who fled was more than 1,000 people.

Therefore, this battle not only won the risk, but also won the luck.

Fang Ling didn't know this subtlety, and at the same time noticed the loophole in his command, although the transfer of three thousand soldiers and horses was to make Gu Shaofeng take it lightly, but he was always a little arrogant and arrogant, but now that the Gu family's own soldiers measured the combat power of Yizhou State, he would be more cautious in future battles.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Jiyuan had already walked over from the other side, he had a white strip of cloth tied on his shoulder, and it seemed that one arm was not lightly injured, and after hurrying over, he bowed down and said: "Your Highness, we can't stay here for a long time, the Gu family army that has fled everywhere must have passed on the news of this battle, especially those cavalry, they will be able to reach the surrounding townships and counties in a moment, I am afraid that the people and horses of Jingui County will arrive soon!"

Of course, Fang Ling understood Zhang Jiyuan's worries, after such a battle, although the men and horses still had combat strength, but the effect of tired combat was very poor, not to mention, there were eight or nine thousand men and horses in the three counties of Jingui, even if the personal combat effectiveness was insufficient for the Gu family's own soldiers, but the number could make up for the lack of individuals, if such a large army was encountered at this time, I was afraid that the three thousand men and horses would be swallowed.

However, he never thought of starting a war with the men and horses of Jingui County, he stood up, called Lu Bei over, threw Gu Shaofeng's head into a cloth bag, threw it to him and said: "Brother Lu, take a few people to Qingzun City, give this gift to General Zhu, and let him relieve the siege for us." ”

Lu Bei got on the horse with a cloth bag, and quickly walked in the direction of Qingzuka City, now the official roads and trails in all directions are all deserters of the Gu family's army, and no one will doubt the identity of Lu Bei and others.

A trace of admiration flashed in Shen Huantian's eyes, and he praised with a smile: "Your Highness's plan can be described as clever, how can Zhu Baolin let go of such a good opportunity, I am afraid that he will go out to defeat the enemy army in the open field outside the city." ”

Dong Canghai also smiled: "As soon as Gu Shaofeng died, the enemy's army was in turmoil, and the dragons were leaderless, like a plate of scattered sand, even if there were 10,000 horses in the open field, how could they be able to defeat the 10,000 defenders of Qingzuka City?"

Zhang Jiyuan was a little confused and said: "As long as General Zhu attacks, the enemy army in the open field will definitely ask for help from the three counties of Jingui, so will the three counties of Jingui go to help them, or will they come to encircle and suppress us?"

Fang Ling smiled and said, "If Lord Zhang is the guard of Jingui County, then what should he do?"

Zhang Jiyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "This ...... If we want to encircle and suppress us, the three counties are empty, and General Zhu is afraid that after defeating the army in the open land, he will only take the opportunity to advance and conquer the three counties! If he chooses to help the army in the open land, then he will not be able to come to encircle and suppress us. ”

Fang Ling said profoundly: "Yes, this seems to be a dilemma, but in fact they only have one choice, and that is to help the army in the open field, because it is impossible for them to give up the three county towns, otherwise they will be beheaded according to the military order!"

Zhang Jiyuan was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the young man intently, like beating a drum in his chest, a sense of reverence rose, the wisdom of the young man was far beyond his imagination, and the seemingly impossible victory happened under his command.

Dong Canghai said with a smile: "Your Highness is very right, the three counties are the rear base for attacking Qingzun City, storing grain and grass materials, if the three counties are captured by Zhu Baolin because of the encirclement and suppression of us, the three county guards will not be able to escape their duties." What's more, they also have to contain that bunch of Gu family soldiers, and they are busy with a lot of things. ”

Shen Huantian grinned and said: "Moreover, our battle has beaten the Gu family's personal soldiers to the ground, I am afraid that even if the people and horses of the three counties of Jingui have the heart, they will not dare to provoke our edge." ”。

Fang Ling laughed, and then said calmly: "Let's rest for a while, wait until the battle in front of us starts and then set off, maybe we can rush to the open field, and we can still witness the end of the battle." ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, killing the northern general in Xuzhou, which was full of Yizhou troops, and now being able to walk back with a swagger, how many times can such a happy thing happen in life?
