Although the Wei Yan army is elite, but after more than three hours of fighting, all the soldiers are also a little tired, the war to the present, the soldiers on both sides are holding on hard with a breath, the soldiers on both sides do not give in to each other, Wei Yan's army is hopeless to break the city today.

Seeing this, Wei Yan did not continue to insist on attacking the city.

After today's bloody battle, presumably the defenders in the city have seen the combat power of their army, today's battle, although the losses of soldiers and horses on both sides are not too small, but the army under their command is an elite division, even after a day of bloody battles, tomorrow morning the soldiers can also correct and restore their combat strength!

But the defenders in the city may not be, the soldiers of Guiyang County are unwilling to defend the city for the land of Changsha, and the reason why they can fight until now today is because they have no fear of killing red eyes, but when they calm down after the war, they may not have the courage they have now!

If you can force them back, you will be done; Even if these soldiers and horses do not retreat, they will definitely be able to break through the city in two days at most!

"It's getting late today, let's stop Mingjin!"

……

"Bell, bell, bell!! Bell Bell Bell !! Bell Bell Bell !! ……”

The crisp sound of Mingjin resounded throughout the battlefield, and after the soldiers of Wei Yanjun who were fighting fiercely heard the sound of Mingjin, they all abandoned the enemy in front of them, and retreated like a tide, and the soldiers of the Guiyang Army were all supported by their will and a breath of blood in their chests at this time, and then they heard the sound of Mingjin and saw the retreat of the enemy army, and the blood in their hearts also leaked out, and they sat down on the city wall weakly, and no longer had the strength to get up.

"Retreated, the enemy was defeated!!"

"The enemy army was defeated, we held out, we won !!"

"Victory, we victory!!"

……

Although the soldiers of Guiyang County were physically lacking, but with the retreat of Wei Yan's army, their hearts were extremely excited, they actually repelled the attack of the famous Yuan Yao's army, who would dare to underestimate them in the future, all the soldiers cheered selflessly.

A Guiyang military academy captain saw that the morale of the generals was soaring, and he took a few steps forward and said: "General, the enemy army has been defeated and retreated, and the morale of our army is high, do you want to take advantage of the victory to pursue?" ”

"Chase?"

"Take a good look, the enemy army is retreating without chaos, its army is ready to attack, the enemy army is still powerful, just waiting for us to pursue!"

"On the other hand, although the morale of our army is high, the soldiers are already exhausted, and our army's combat strength has been lost.

Fortunately, although some people in the Guiyang army saw that they had repelled the attack of Wei Yan's army, their hearts were a little drifting, but Chen Ying still knew how many catties and taels he had, and he scolded everyone under his command for a few words, and did not rush out of the city to pursue. After Wei Yan's siege troops returned to the military formation, seeing that the defenders in the city had taken advantage of the situation to pursue, Wei Yan also gave up the plan to counterattack again or even take advantage of the situation to seize the city, and led the army to slowly withdraw, and the retreat was ten miles before setting up a camp.

Chen Ying saw Wei Yan's army slowly withdrawing, and ordered: "Send sentry cavalry to follow Wei Yan's army to investigate the military situation, treat the wounded, bury the pot and make food, quickly let the soldiers rest and recuperate, and each department counts the casualties, and then go to our mansion to discuss the war!" ”

"No! I'm waiting for my orders! ”

The generals of the Guiyang army agreed to receive orders one after another, and Chen Ying dragged his tired body back to his mansion, and after dinner, everyone gathered in Chen Ying's mansion.

Chen Ying saw that everyone had arrived and said, "In today's battle, what are the casualties of our army?" ”

The marching Sima stepped forward and bowed, and said: "General Hui, in this battle, our troops killed more than 1,800 people, more than 1,000 seriously injured, and countless lightly wounded, with a total loss of nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

Wei Yan's army was attacking like fire, not only the siege equipment was very sharp, but also attacked the city wall several times, which brought a lot of pressure to the Guiyang soldiers, but although Chen Ying expected that his soldiers and horses would definitely lose a lot in this battle, he never expected that the soldiers and horses under his command would directly lose thirty percent of the troops in one battle!

Chen Ying was shocked in his heart, and said, "What! After this battle, my 10,000 army directly lost 30% of its combat strength? What a deal! ”

The marching Sima hurriedly replied: "General, the enemy's offensive is like fire, the equipment is sharp, the soldiers are well-trained, our army is indeed not their opponent!" ”

Chen Ying sighed, sat back in place, and said: "The scout has sent back the news, Wei Yan's army is camping ten miles outside the city, looking at this momentum, Wei Yan will definitely lead the army to attack the city again tomorrow, what are your best strategies for this battle?" ”

The generals of the Guiyang army were a little fried when they heard what Chen Ying said, their own army lost so many soldiers and horses after half a day of defense, and this was the reason why Wei Yan's army took the initiative to withdraw from the battle and did not attack the city overnight, if Wei Yan's army attacked the city overnight, they didn't know how many soldiers and horses they had to lose?

It was so difficult for half a day, the 10,000 army lost as much as 30%, and most of the rest of the soldiers were injured and lost a lot of combat strength, if they fought with Wei Yan's army for a whole day tomorrow, would this be worth it? At that time, how many of the remaining seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses in the city will be left? If they don't have their soldiers and horses, what is the use of these leaders?

Everyone said: "General, this battle must not continue any longer, today is only half a day, my 10,000 army has lost nearly 3,000, if the war continues tomorrow, how many soldiers and horses will my troops have to fill in?" Wei Yan's army in front of him was as much as 30,000, and there were 150,000 troops led by Yue Hou behind his army, and Yue Hou had a strong army under his command, and thousands of soldiers and horses were just a drop in the bucket for his army! But my Guiyang County soldiers only have this 10,000 army, if all of them are lost here, when the Southern Barbarians invade in the future, my Guiyang County will be finished! ”

"Yes, general, this battle must not be fought again, why do I have to defend Changsha County for him? My army is the main force of the county soldiers in my Guiyang, if the damage in this battle is too serious, my Guiyang will not have enough troops, in the future, he Changsha County will resist the Southern Barbarian army for my Guiyang? ”

"What you said is very true, now that the war is still going on, as long as the main force of our army is not lost, even if we retreat to Linxiang, he Liu Pan still dares to punish me? Isn't he afraid that I will surrender and wait for the battle? The general must not hesitate any longer, and please give the order to withdraw the army quickly! ”

"There is a point in that! Please also ask the general to order the withdrawal of troops for the sake of the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians in our Guiyang army, and if there is any punishment, we are willing to share it with the general! ”
