Chapter 293: Battle (3)

After the battle, there was still a lot to do, counting casualties, counting military merits, counting weapons and equipment, replenishing horses, sheltering wounded soldiers, taking care of prisoners of war, and regrouping........ The camp of the Xiliang Army was brightly lit, and the generals of various departments, the chief bookkeeper, the army Sima and other officers were busy until late at night, and only then did they roughly count the various situations, and then report them to the big tent of the Chinese army.

In the big tent, Fa is helping Chen Cheng deal with various military affairs. However, although he is smart, he has never done any of these things before, so he can only fight for the time being. On the contrary, Liu Qian is already able to handle things in the army very skillfully. All Chen Cheng had to do was put a seal on the official document she had sorted out, or sign her name.

"Today, more than 3,000 people were killed or seriously wounded in our army, and the number of lightly wounded was doubled. About 10,000 enemy soldiers were killed and 2,700 were captured. ”

Chen Cheng looked at the statistical report, which means that in one day, nearly 10,000 people were killed or wounded. Although there are still many of them who are slightly injured and can continue to fight tomorrow, this number has already exceeded the total amount of damage caused by Lu Bu and Duan Xuanjun before.

On the one hand, he was worried about whether his morale would be depressed because of so many casualties. On the other hand, he was also worried that if Dong Zhuo suffered too many casualties, he would not retreat. Before the war, Fa Zheng had proposed to send surprise soldiers to capture Linjin City, but Chen Cheng did not agree, not because he didn't understand the principle of "winning with the right and winning with the odd", but he had already set the back way for Xu Rong to copy Dong Zhuo.

Calculating the time, Xu Rongjun should have crossed the Yellow River by now.

The Xiliang army was counting casualties and dealing with various things in a row, but Dong Zhuo in Xiaqi City showed no sign of escaping, but was even more complacent. Although during the daytime battle, the Huns ran a lot, but after the war some returned.

What made him even happier was the results reported by the generals under his command. The left, middle and right roads add up, and there are not 100,000 cuts, but 80,000 Xiliang thieves. Even if the generals were blowing nonsense, they killed and wounded more than 40,000 enemies. How many people does Chen Cheng have in his hands?

Dong Zhuo estimated that there were only more than 10,000 and less than 20,000 left in Xiliang Thieves, and although his own troops had also decreased a lot, but in total, the gap between the two sides had not only not narrowed, but had become larger. In his opinion, now that the enemy has become the end of the crossbow, tomorrow with a little more effort, he will be able to achieve complete victory.

As long as Chen Cheng is captured or killed, with his prestige in Xiliang, those elite soldiers and strong generals are still not obedient?

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo laughed, and he said to the generals in the room with great ambition: "When we enter Chang'an City, one person will send a palace maid!" ”

Yang Ding, Li Dao, Guo Yan and the others looked at each other, all showing excited expressions on their faces, shouting long live. Although some people also thought that Dong Zhuo was covering up the panic in his heart, no one was stupid enough to point it out to his face. Wang Fang, Dong Yue and other generals died in battle, which filled the army with a bad atmosphere.

The fierceness of today's battle was something they had never imagined before, and the strength and resilience of the Xiliang people were far beyond their imagination. The enemy's combat effectiveness was stronger than the Lu Bu army encountered before, and it was far above the Yellow Turban Army. If you use the enemies they have encountered in the past to make an analogy, it can only be compared to Huangfu Song when he was in his heyday.

They fought very hard today, and their soldiers suffered many casualties. With experience, he has already fought so hard, and he has suffered so many casualties, then the enemy must have suffered a lot of casualties. Then when Dong Zhuo asked, he doubled it on the basis of the estimate and reported it, which really made his father-in-law very happy.

Li Dao, Guo Yan and others are all brave and unscrupulous, relying on their own martial arts, they don't take other things to heart. The general Hu Zhen was very worried, he led his troops into battle today, and several times he saw the enemy's main general riding a fiery red war horse back and forth, unstoppable, so that he immediately connected with Lu Bu.

But unlike Lu Bu, the enemy chief Chen Cheng was more brave, and the Xiliang army was also more capable of fighting than Lu Bu's army. However, Hu Zhen also believes that the people of Xiliang must have suffered heavy losses today. Our advantage in a short period of time has not been lost, but has expanded a lot, and it is time to continue to use troops.

Dong Zhuo said proudly: "Everyone fought well today, and tomorrow the main force will be exhausted and defeat the Xiliang thieves in one fell swoop!" ”

When the sun rose again, Dong Zhuo ordered the soldiers to kill pigs and sheep, so that the soldiers had a full meal, and then went forward to challenge again. Not to be outdone, Chen Cheng left more than 10,000 people in several camps, and led more than 35,000 cavalry out of the camp to line up.

After a night of cleaning, the battlefield was not cleaned up. On the original battlefield, from time to time, you can see corpses that have changed color and various discarded equipment and supplies.

During yesterday's battle, Dong Zhuojun's soldiers and horses who had gone into battle before, plus the soldiers who came out of Xiaqi City to support later, totaled more than 100,000. When the array is unfolded, the frontal width is more than ten miles. But today, Dong Zhuojun's strength was only a little more than half, and the array was no longer as thick as yesterday.

Originally, there were a lot of Hun cavalry active on the battlefield, but after a battle yesterday, those Huns felt that it was more cost-effective to plunder the villagers, so they had already "hulala" and ran away most of them. After the order to go out of the formation was issued today, the remaining Huns almost ran away.

They already knew that the "Divine Mighty General" was among the enemy troops on the other side, and only a fool would want to be an enemy of the kind of person who was like a god reincarnated. I ran back yesterday, but I just wanted to cheat two meals. Although Dong Zhuo was brutal, he treated his subordinates well. Sure enough, I had a full meal yesterday and I ate even better this morning.

Now that the goal has been achieved, who is stupid to go into battle to fight to the death? Slipped, slipped.

After yesterday's battle, the Xiliang Army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties, and thousands of people were dispatched to clean up the battlefield at night, so the number of people who could go into battle today was only 35,000 cavalry. In Chen Cheng's opinion, his own side was stronger in battle than the other side, and his troops were only slightly at a disadvantage.

But Dong Zhuo didn't think so, he thought that there were only 10,000 people left in the Xiliang Army, and he would be able to beat the other party when he went out today, how did he know that there were so many soldiers and horses on the other side? Looking at the gradually unfolding formation on the opposite side, Dong Zhongying was first surprised, then shocked, and he said in shock: "Why are there so many Xiliang people?" Didn't the soldiers and horses from elsewhere rush over to converge? ”

After the Huns did chores, things like going out to scout were outsourced to the Hun light cavalry. Now that the Huns are almost gone, Dong Zhuojun seems to have suddenly degraded his eyesight and hearing, and he suddenly lost control of the surrounding situation.

Li Ru said: "I'm afraid that reinforcements rushed over last night." ”

He saw that Dong Zhuo seemed to have a hesitant look on his face, so he said, "Why don't you withdraw your troops and return to the city first, and wait until the investigation is clear?" ”

Dong Zhuo made up his mind instead, and said categorically: "Now is our last chance, if we can't break the main force of the Xiliang Army in these few days, we can only go back to Bingzhou!" ”

He turned his head and asked the generals on the side, "Are you willing to go back to Bingzhou and suffer?" ”

The generals said in unison: "No! ”

How good Guanzhong is, there are villages and towns everywhere, and if you open a random place, you can grab a lot of grain, grass and money. That place in Bingzhou was plagued by Dong Zhuo for several years, and later the Huns were brought in, and the good people were about to die. The rest of the people either went up the mountain or hid in the forts of the powerful people. Every time I go out to collect grain, it looks like a war, where can I compare to being as rich as Guanzhong?

Dong Zhuo said loudly: "What the thief Chen relies on is just more than 10,000 tooth soldiers, most of them have been killed by us yesterday, and these who came today are just some county soldiers, the number is not as large as ours, I am afraid that he will be a ball!" Let's work harder today, and when we enter Chang'an, we will send two palace maids each! ”

Well, yesterday I only sent one, but today it has become two. This rate is almost comparable to the number of infected people and the rate of inflation in the lighthouse country. However, the effect was also there, and the soldiers who heard the news on the left and right cheered loudly.

Because there are many fewer troops, the speed of the formation on both sides is much faster than yesterday. Yesterday, it took more than an hour just to form a formation, but today it only took half an hour to complete the formation. Then the rear of the Chinese troops on both sides sounded the sound of drums and trumpets.

A new battle is about to break out again!

Just when a major battle was about to break out again near Xiati, in Chang'an City, more than a hundred miles to the west, Han Sui was feasting guests. He prepared for several days and invited some civil and military officials in the city. Although Zhao Yun didn't come, he was a little disappointed, but it didn't hinder much.

Chen Cheng did not let go of the captured Lu Bujun, except for a part that was taken by Zhang Liao Gaoshun and others, and now Yang Qiu Chengyi is fighting under his command, and tens of thousands of people have been confiscated weapons and equipment, and they have been organized, and they are doing things like cleaning rivers, reinforcing embankments, and building roads.

Among these people, many of them were coerced, but there were also many who followed Lu Bu to suppress the people everywhere in Guanzhong, and did a lot of things to slaughter cities and villages. Once the knife is stained with blood, it becomes difficult to put it away again. Those people have tasted the wonderful taste of killing, how can they be willing to work so hard as digging a pit?

Han Sui was very sure that as long as he could capture a city gate, he would be able to let those disgruntled troops enter the city. Although there are thousands of soldiers and horses left by Chen Wenzheng in the city, what use can those few men have in front of tens of thousands of disgruntled soldiers? No matter how much you can fight in the camp, it's still people.

As long as it is human, it can be killed!

Han Sui greeted the guests with a smile at the door, and calculated the whole plan again in his heart, only to feel that this time, it must be foolproof! His heart was filled with strange feelings, both excitement and fear, but also some regret and appreciation. Han Sui said in his heart: Although Chen Wenzheng and Yan Bodao are hateful, they are indeed rare heroes in the world. It's a pity that everyone can't cooperate sincerely, otherwise, the world will let us and other Xiliang people crisscross!

It's not bad now, as long as Chen Cheng is killed, Guanzhong and Liangzhou will be my Han Sui's!

The smile on his face brightened a little more when he thought about the wonderful.
