Chapter 301: Here We Come
After chasing and killing for a while, watching Sharad lead the remnants to gradually move away, Liu Feng ordered to set up camp. After a day of fighting, the soldiers were very tired, and it was indeed time to rest. Liu Feng and Pei Xingyan were covered in blood. I didn't feel anything when I was fighting, but as soon as I stopped, my whole body ached.
From the time I ate in the morning to now, I haven't eaten a drop of water, my stomach is rumbling with hunger, and my mouth is dry and dry.
The soldiers were ordered, sat down on the spot to rest, took out dry food and water, and began to fill their stomachs. In this battle, Pei Xingyan and his army of 50,000 were the hardest and suffered the greatest losses. A rough count shows more than 30,000 dead and wounded. The situation in the West Bank is much better, but there are also nearly 20,000 dead and wounded.
The troops on both sides of the strait are combined in one place, and there are still 100,000 troops in total. After resting for half an hour, Liu Feng observed the terrain and decided to advance five miles to the east, and set up camp on a hillside. 100,000 horses were divided into three teams, Liu Feng led a team of men and horses to camp on the hillside, and Pei Xingyan and Biluo each led a team and camped at the bottom of the hillside.
The three large battalions were horns of each other, which not only prevented the enemy from occupying the terrain and was condescending, but also avoided being besieged by people at the bottom of the slope and cut off the waterway. This arrangement is also appropriate, but it is still very risky to camp by the river and in the territory of the Gundam country.
"Lord, we have 100,000 soldiers and horses, in case the army of Gundam Kingdom attacks, we are afraid that there is no way back!" Ma Yan stroked his beard and said worriedly.
"What do you think?" Liu Feng asked rhetorically.
"In order to be safe, we should still go back to the west bank, which is our territory, we have the city and reinforcements behind, and the Hanadi River in front, so we are more cautious." The head of the horse is the way.
In fact, Ma Jian was right, Liu Feng also planned it this way at the beginning. However, after thinking about it carefully, he had a new plan, this battle will wipe out most of Sharad's 200,000 troops, and Darip's 100,000 soldiers and horses, I believe that Zhao Yun and they will also eat them all.
A lone army, surviving on the West Bank, can't make much waves. In addition to the soldiers assigned to defend the city, a total of 300,000 soldiers and horses can be used, and if Hua's City is taken in one go, it will definitely make the Gundam Kingdom panic.
With Fahrenheit City as a stronghold, soon the Gundam Kingdom will be short of food, and the people will come to take refuge at that time. At that time, I really don't have to worry, and I slowly consume with them. Liu Feng wanted to see what other strategies Di Jia could come up with at that time.
"You're right. I thought so before, but now, I want to take Fahrenheit City directly, and when the time comes, let's go to the big city to eat and drink spicy food, why bother guarding this broken river? Liu Feng said to Ma Jian and the others.
"Crazy, I'm afraid we won't be able to take Fahrenheit City with these soldiers." Pei Xingyan immediately said that he was experienced and knew that the siege was a big loss.
"Shoujing rest assured, let's wait for Zilong and Dalei for the time being, and when the time comes, we will be able to join forces together, and there will be no problem." Liu Feng said his plan.
"I see, if you attack the city with all your might, it's fine." Pei Xingyan nodded in relief.
"Haha, I've heard that Fahrenheit City is bustling and lively, and when the time comes, you can go into the city and walk around." Asila was delighted.
"yes, I've heard about it a long time ago, but I haven't been there, so I have to see it." Muji's eyes were full of longing.
"By the way, Thalia, Kuranyi, how did you know we were short of ships?" Liu Feng asked.
"That's right, two princesses, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have to explain here today, and I haven't thanked you for saving your life." Pei Xingyan hurriedly bowed his hand. He was on the East Bank before, and he knew everything about the West Bank.
"General Pei is less to more, brave and fearless, has killed countless enemies, and with your containment, there is a victory today, speaking of which, I should thank you." Thalia said to Pei Xingyan.
"We have heard the madman talk about General Pei's crossing of the river, and combined with our action arrangement, we can guess the madman's plan. General Pei was on the other side again, fighting alone, we wanted to cross the river to support, but we never thought that when we arrived at the river, we happened to meet madmen who wanted to cross the river. Kulanyi said.
"I see!" Liu Feng nodded, "Speaking of which, I didn't think it through. Actually, I didn't think about crossing the river, mainly because I didn't expect Sharad's army to run away so decisively. Originally, there were many ships along the river, all of which were left behind by the Gundam Army, and if the Gundam Army on the west bank fought to the death, there would be no shortage of ships. ”
"Hehe, as long as you can win the battle, this is a crucial battle, my brothers and I are ready to fight to the death, the horse leather shroud, die a well-deserved death." Pei Xingyan saw Liu Feng's face full of guilt and said with relief.
"The battlefield is ever-changing, and this battle is already a complete victory, and it is too difficult to be foolproof in all aspects. The soldiers who died in battle are well compensated, there are still big battles to be fought in the future, and lessons and lessons must be summed up, but we still have to look forward. Ma Jian comforted everyone.
"Yes, no matter what, we should be happy if we win the battle. When the time comes, take Fahrenheit, and the brothers have a good rest. Liu Feng said.
That day, after dinner, the soldiers finally slept peacefully. Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Feng asked Mu Ji'an to reject Hou and go to Hua's City to inquire about intelligence. In addition, Liu Feng was also very concerned about the situation of Darip's army on the west bank.
Within two days, Zhao Yun sent the news, "Darip's 100,000-strong army has been defeated, and Darip himself has fled with a few relatives." ”
"Good!" Liu Feng said with a smile, "Darip, this guy has a big fate, he has failed several times, but he can actually stay alive, escape master?" ”
"This guy has merit to be the first to rob, but he can't beat it, and he is the first to escape, which can be regarded as having a personality." Biro said.
Previously, when he confronted Mu Ji, after this guy was knocked off his horse, he actually took advantage of the chaos to escape, and I don't know when, he actually returned to the east coast and became a deputy marshal, which is really amazing.
"General, how far is their army from here?" Liu Feng asked about the report.
"Report to Your Majesty, it is about 80 miles away from here, and it should be there in two days." The report of the incident said.
Liu Feng waved his hand and retreated. When Zhao Yun and the others came, there were many soldiers, plenty of food and grass, and a lot of siege equipment had been transported in the past two days. The generals were in high spirits, and it looked like it was time to prepare for Fahrenheit.
"Crazy, can we get out now? This time, let's be the vanguard and let the generals be the rear army. Biro said excitedly.
"Yes, our 100,000 army can at least clear the periphery. That guy from Sharad still looks a little capable, let's have another fight. Pei Xingyan didn't win the previous battle because of personnel disadvantages, and he was quite angry.
"Don't worry, Fahrenheit City is a big city-state, and it is by no means something that can be broken overnight, we need to plan carefully." Liu Feng said.
