As the sun set, he finally led the army to withdraw, after all, the two had already suffered huge casualties in this attack on Liu Juntao's department, which was far beyond the limit that the two could bear.

In the face of the Warat army that quickly withdrew from the battlefield, Liu Juntao just ordered Zhou Zongsheng to lead the soldiers of the Iron Cavalry Battalion to pursue it slightly, and then immediately gathered the soldiers of each battalion and returned to the camp to garrison, and the battlefield outside Zhang Yimen finally fell into calm.

At this time, the outside of the camp of the Ming army can be said to be full of corpses, and the soldiers of each battalion under Liu Juntao are cleaning the battlefield, and the doctors and craftsmen in the camp are the busiest.

However, there were too many wounded sent by the battalions, and the doctors and craftsmen accompanying the army could no longer take care of them, so Liu Juntao hurriedly sent people into the city from Zhangyi Gate and invited hundreds of doctors.

At the same time, the casualties of the officers and men of the battalions also converged.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Juntao, Liu Zi'an, Zhang Yuqing, Zhang Xiaojun, Chen Ziping, Sun Xu, and Zhou Zongsheng have all been in place, and the thousand generals of each battalion are all there, but everyone's faces are very ugly.

Liu Juntao let out a sigh of relief and said, "Let's talk about it!" ”

Everyone didn't speak when they heard this, but they all looked at Liu Zi'an.

Liu Zi'an said in a deep voice: "General, let me talk about it." ”

Liu Juntao nodded and did not speak.

Liu Zi'an said: "In this battle, our army captured more than 31,000 Tartar heads, captured 8,467 war horses, and the armor and blades were not counted. In addition, considering that many of the evacuated Tartars were wounded, it is estimated that the casualties of the Warat army would be even higher with the inferior medical skills of the Warat army. ”

After hearing this, everyone's faces softened slightly, after all, the battle was fruitful, and the soldiers of the battalions were not sacrificed in vain.

And Liu Juntao nodded again when he heard this, although more than 30,000 were beheaded in this battle, but it was not the thing that Liu Juntao cared about the most in his heart, Liu Juntao was most concerned about the casualties of the soldiers of each battalion at this time, after all, these soldiers were created by Liu Juntao, and they were all seeds of future development and growth!

Liu Zi'an also understood what Liu Juntao was thinking, so he continued: "In this battle, the casualties of the officers and soldiers of each battalion are as follows: the Yanzhou Mansion Qi Barracks lost 467 people, the Yanzhou Mansion Main Barracks lost 1,398 people, the officers and men of the right battalion of the Yushan Town Escort Team suffered 1,513 casualties, the front battalion of the Yushan Town Guard Corps suffered 1,766 casualties, the left battalion of the Yushan Town Escort Corps suffered 804 casualties, the Yushan Town Guard Iron Cavalry Battalion suffered 192 casualties, and the total number of officers and men of each battalion was 6,140 casualties! In addition, Gao Ran, the commander of the right battalion of the Yushan Town Guard, was seriously injured and is being treated; Liu Youcai, the former commander of the Yushan Town Guards, was seriously injured and died! ”

After Liu Zi'an finished speaking, there was silence in the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Youfu cried in a low voice, and Chang Hongdao next to him patted Liu Youfu's shoulder and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything.

Since Liu Juntao started his business, he has never suffered such a big loss, and in this battle, he also seriously injured a battalion commander, killed a thousand generals, and the generals and captains of each battalion sacrificed dozens of people, which can be described as heavy casualties!

At this time, Liu Juntao's eyes were also red, and he said: "Tomorrow, a funeral will be held for the soldiers who died on the battlefield!" ”

"Order!"

Then, Liu Juntao said to Liu Zi'an: "Immediately notify the recruit Si Si Cheng Hu Dexing, and immediately mobilize 6,000 recruits to go north!" ”

Liu Zi'an responded, and immediately wrote an order, Liu Juntao looked at it, then stamped his seal, and sent the fast horse south to Yushan Town.

At this moment, Bai Yuxing angrily walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and said, "General! Shi Heng's bastard is here with the army! ”

As soon as the words fell, the entire Chinese army's tent suddenly roared, and everyone scolded, especially Liu Youfu, who directly pulled out his waist knife and roared angrily to transfer troops and Shi Heng desperately.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao immediately reprimanded Liu Youfu a few words, and then said: "Shi Heng, this thief, in order to fight for merit and eliminate dissidents, actually takes the safety of the country as a child's play, no matter how outstanding his military achievements are, this person is also a national thief!" Sooner or later I will get rid of it! ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao said: "Order! The Iron Cavalry Battalion assembles and stops Shi Heng's subordinates for me! All will come with me! ”

Half an hour later, Zhou Zongsheng led the Iron Cavalry Battalion of nearly 3,000 soldiers to line up in the wilderness, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on all the soldiers, as if gilding the Iron Cavalry Army with a layer of golden armor.

In front of Zhou Zongsheng's department, Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, led an army of 10,000 troops to wait in formation, and the two sides were in a stalemate, refusing to give in to each other.

In front of Shi Heng's horse formation, he saw Liu Juntao leading a group of generals to come, so he said angrily and loudly: "General Liu is so powerful!" What is the purpose of the Governor of Pontus to lead the army to come to the aid and stop the Governor of Pontus! ”

Liu Juntao sneered when he heard this, and said angrily: "Come to help? The soldiers of our army fought a bloody battle with the army of 200,000 Warats for one day, and nearly 10,000 soldiers fought on the battlefield. Desheng Gate is only a few miles away from Zhangyi Gate, and it took Shi Dudu a whole day to arrive, I don't know what Shi Dudu's intentions are! ”

"Bold!"

Shi Heng said loudly: "The governor of Pontus naturally has my intentions!" Now get out of the way of the Pontus Governor, and the Pontus Governor will enter the camp to investigate the results of the battle! ”

Liu Juntao said loudly: "I've seen shameless, but I've never seen Shi Dudu so brazen!" You have tens of thousands of troops and refuse to come to help, and now our army has won a complete victory, and you have led the army to pick peaches, and it is really muddy for our soldiers to be pinched! ”

After speaking, Liu Juntao waved his hand, and nearly 3,000 iron cavalry soldiers behind him all stepped forward ten steps, and at the same time shouted "Tiger!" three times. Tiger! Tiger! ”。

At the same time, the officers and men in the first few rows all took out the three-eyed guns, and the soldiers in the back also drew their swords and held guns, and the whole army was ready for battle.

Seeing this, Shi Heng also hesitated, and knew in his heart that if he was not compromising, Liu Juntao would really dare to fight with him!

Therefore, Shi Heng said angrily: "Okay! Liu Juntao, remember what you said today, one day, Pontus will make you regret it! ”

Liu Juntao was not afraid, and said loudly: "Let's think about yourself, from today on, I, Liu Juntao, and you are incompatible!" ”

Shi Heng was furious when he heard this, but looking at the iron cavalry army on the opposite side and thinking about the strong combat power of Liu Juntao's department, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and led away angrily.

A few days later, Yu Qian, the secretary of the Ministry of War, hurried to Liu Juntao's camp, and Liu Juntao hurriedly took him to the Chinese army's tent when he heard the news.

After Yu Qian sat down, he didn't have time to take a sip of water, so he said: "Juntao, you are confused! I know that your troops suffered too many casualties in the first battle of Zhang Yimen, and Shi Heng did not support them in time, but after all, your troops are under the command of Shi Heng, and now that the war is not over, you will make enemies with it, how can this be a rational thing! ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Bingxian doesn't have to worry, I expect that Shi Heng will not be rampant for long, and sooner or later I will capture him!" ”

Yu Qian was stunned immediately when he heard this, then he sighed, shook his head, and said: "Jun Tao, you are a general, I have the heart to cultivate you, and it can be regarded as discovering talents for the country, but you also have to know self-preservation!" ”

Liu Juntao was very moved when he heard this, and said with his fists clenched: "Let Bingxian worry!" ”

Then, Yu Qian said: "In addition, there is another thing, now he has led the army to retreat north, but the 200,000 army is still wandering around Changping Prefecture, and the capital is still very dangerous!" Therefore, I want to send troops to recapture Juyong Pass, cut off the retreat of the Wara army, and completely annihilate it in the pass! In this way, Varat will be defeated! ”

Liu Juntao pondered for a moment, and then said: "Bingxian wants me to lead the army to recapture Juyong Pass?" ”

"Exactly!"

Yu Qian continued: "But considering that the casualties of the army are not small, if Jun Tao is in trouble, I can also let others go." ”

Liu Juntao clenched his fists and said: "The military defense line, the last general will rest for a few days, and then lead the army to kill Juyong Pass!" ”
