The first day of fighting ended with a complete victory for the Han army. Whether it was the initial defense or the later counterattack, they all inflicted heavy damage on the enemy and achieved brilliant results. After the war, the Hu people were naturally broken, and even the rebels under Zhang Chun's command were demoralized.

They attacked with an absolute superiority of forces, and as a result, the main general was killed, and the cavalry also suffered nearly half of the casualties, and the results obtained were less than half of the casualties. If it weren't for the harsh military law and the fact that he knew that there was nowhere to escape, maybe someone would have escaped that day. The rebels have nowhere to escape, but the Hu people have somewhere to flee.

After the battle, the battlefield was in chaos, and many small tribes took advantage of the chaos to run away. Those miscellaneous hus ran fast, for fear of being annexed, and some small Wuhuan tribes also took the opportunity to run under the leadership of the leader of the head. They don't care much about death, and they are cruel to the enemy and their own people, but there is no need to sacrifice in vain here, right? There is no benefit if you win, and it is even worse if you lose, don't run away and wait for the knife!

When he returned to his temporary camp on the West Bank, he was furious when he heard that thousands of people had escaped. He only had more than 50,000 people on his hands, and he lost thousands during the day, and ran thousands more, and he didn't catch a single hair, so he lost so many people, which made him feel that his heart was dripping blood.

But what can he do? Zhang Chun is so cruel, Gongsun Chan is even more ferocious, he doesn't want to let Gongsun Chan go back, and he doesn't dare to resist Zhang Chun's obscenity, so he can only grit his teeth and insist. He walked out of the big tent, looked at Zhang Chun's camp from afar, thinking that Zhang Chun's loss was not small, and even one of his generals died in battle, and he actually had a happy feeling in his heart.

Tell you to squirt on me! Qiu Liju thought viciously, he was shot to death!

Because the generals sent by the rebels to supervise the battle were all killed, naturally no one cared about the responsibility for his failure to win today. For a time, Qiu Liju was in a good mood. But then, he thought of the sharpshooter in the Han army again, and his mood became bad again.

In Guanzi City, Gongsun Chan went to the city early in the morning to watch the war taking place on the west side of the river. Although he couldn't see clearly from a distance of nearly 20 miles, he was a veteran general who had fought for more than ten years, and he could roughly judge the development of the battle situation just by relying on the smoke and dust in the distance and the movement of troops.

Except when he was empty, he stayed in the city. By the time the day's battle was over, his mood had improved a lot, and his face no longer looked like he was unapproachable.

When Qiu Liju's heart was dripping blood, Tian Yu also felt that his heart was about to drip blood. The daytime battle was a brilliant victory, but the losses of the Han army were not small. The infantry in the front row suffered fifty or sixty casualties, and the cavalry in the attack suffered similar casualties. The shooters suffered more than a dozen casualties, half of which were caused by too frequent firing and a broken bowstring.

Although most of them were only injured, and a few were seriously injured, and they could recover from their injuries for a period of time, in a short period of time, none of those people could go to the battlefield. And the ordnance was also damaged a lot, and the crossbow alone was damaged by a fifth. It is conceivable that tomorrow's battle will be much tougher.

Tian Yu couldn't help but start to wonder, can he really hold on to the fifth day if he continues to fight like this? Even if they insist on reaching the agreed time, how much combat power will they have left here?

Chen Cheng opened the door curtain, and after walking in, he saw Tian Yu's face with a difficult face, and asked, "What's so difficult about the captain?" ”

Tian Yu saw that there was no one left and right, and he was not afraid to speak out to hit morale, and said with a wry smile: "Wen Zheng also saw the battle situation today, isn't it a difficult thing?" ”

Chen Cheng said: "I came for this purpose. ”

"Oh," Tian Yu raised his head and asked, "What do you have in mind, tell me quickly." ”

Chen Cheng said: "Our army captured a lot of prisoners of war today, put back all the wounded soldiers in the captives, and let them tell the rebels: God has the virtue of a good life, let them send someone to carry away the wounded soldiers on the battlefield and bury the dead." ”

Tian Yu thought for a moment and said, "But you want to use this to hit the morale of the enemy army?" ”

Chen Cheng smiled: "That's right. ”

Tian Yu's brows stretched out, and he said, "This plan is good, just do it!" ”

In the evening, Qiu Liju heard that some of the clansmen had been released, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart. After listening to the words relayed by the wounded soldiers who were released, he couldn't help but despise the generals opposite. Whether it is him, Zhang Chun, or Gongsun Zan who is trapped in the city, there will be no such kindness of a woman.

Hmph, how can this kind of mother-in-law be a good general? Let the other party be proud for a while today, and then rush directly with cavalry tomorrow!

In the evening, many fires were lit up and down the mountain. Under the light of the fire, the Hu people carried back all the lightly injured clansmen, and cremated the nobles among the dead, while the others were hastily buried. Because of the large number of dead and wounded, they were busy until the middle of the month.

After burying and burning so many corpses, the morale of the Wuhuan people became even more depressed, which Qiu Liju did not expect. Although he was a chief with both strength and cunning, he was born a prince, where would he expect so many twists and turns?

It wasn't until late at night, when there was a faint cry in the camp, that he was shocked and asked, "Who is crying?" ”

The guards on the left and right wept and said: "Because there are too many casualties among the clansmen, they are crying." ”

Hu people are also people, and even animals know that "things hurt their kind", let alone Hu people?

Qiu Liju was silent, and after a while, he galloped into Zhang Chun's camp. Zhang Chun stayed in the camp on the east bank for a day, but fortunately, Gongsun Chan did not rush out of the city. But the failure of the attack on the officers and soldiers from the west made him irritable.

When he heard that the soldiers were coming to tell him that he was coming, he let him in.

After Qiu Liju entered the big tent, he saw Zhang Chungao sitting on a tiger skin couch and looking at him coldly. Looking at those eyes full of murderous aura, his heart suddenly shook, and his body suddenly tensed.

"Qiu Liju, you are not well prepared to attack the officers and soldiers tomorrow, what are you doing here?"

Qiu Liju suppressed the fear in his heart, returned the Han army to the wounded, and asked them to bury the dead.

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Zhang Chun said coldly: "You came here at night just to say this nonsense?" Aren't you afraid of another night attack by officers and soldiers? ”

Qiu Liju swallowed his saliva, piled up a flattering smile on his face, and said: "Marshal, we Wuhuan people are not good at foot combat, but for the sake of the overall situation, I am going to repair for a day, and the day after tomorrow I will send elite cavalry to rush directly to the mountain!" ”

Grab the mountain with cavalry? A mocking smile appeared on Zhang Chun's indifferent face, and he grinned and said, "Da Danyu is really bold!" Okay, as long as you succeed in grabbing the mountain, I will give you another batch of ordnance. ”

Qiu Liju bent over and said, "This is naturally good, but I'm worried about ........"

"Worried about what?"

"If those officers and soldiers planted an ambush in the mountain, I am afraid that even if they use cavalry to fight hard, they will not be able to defeat that mountain."

Zhang Chun squinted at Qiu Liju and said, "So what? ”

Qiu Liju endured the humiliation and said, "It's better for the marshal to send some foot soldiers to bypass from the side." When they came to us to grab the mountain, the marshal's people gave them a look! ”

He made a gesture and said, "Then you will win a big victory!" ”

This idea is really bad enough, not only Zhang Chun thinks this tactic is too stupid, but even Qiu Liju thinks so. But who says it's no good to lose a battle?

Although Zhang Chun didn't care about the life or death of the Wuhuan people, he was not willing to let them die in vain. Anyway, he is now the Marshal of Wuhuan, and the Wuhuan people are also an integral part of the combat strength of his subordinates. He rubbed the wrench on his hand, thought for a while, and said, "I appreciate Da Danyu's determination, but it is not necessary to use elite cavalry to grab the mountain. As for sending troops into the mountains......."

He subconsciously rubbed his finger and said, "I'll think about it first, and you will come back tomorrow night." ”

"Yes, I'll come back tomorrow night."

After walking out of Zhang Chun's big tent, Qiu Liju looked back again, his eyelids jumped, he grinned, and then took his own soldiers to his camp.

However, what everyone did not expect was that a strong wind blew in the early hours of the morning, and by the time it was daytime, the sun was obscured by thick dark clouds. Seeing the pouring rain, everyone has no desire to fight. Whether it was the Han army, the rebel army, or the besieged Gongsun Chan army, they all huddled in tents or rooms, waiting for the heavy rain to come.

In the face of the irresistible forces of nature, all human beings can do is wait and ....... Prayer.

In the Han army camp on the mountain, Tian Yu had a sad face, and said to Chen Cheng on the side: "People are in trouble, and the sky is unpredictable. What if it rains heavily for a few days and misses the agreed time with Zhonglang? ”

Chen Cheng was extremely relaxed, and said, "The rain is a bad thing for us and the rebels. But for the middle general, it is a good thing. We were very sad in the wilderness, and though we were in the city, we were much better than we were. If it rains heavily for ten days in a row, many of the rebels will be sick, and maybe there will be more epidemics. At that time, without our hands, the enemy will collapse. ”

Tian Yu turned his worries into joy.

Of course, the real situation will not be so good, the Hu people are used to life in the wild, how could they collapse because of heavy rain? The probability of this kind of thing happening is too small. In addition, although the Gongsun Zan tribe in the city had a house to live in, there was a shortage of doctors and medicines in the army, and if there was an epidemic, they would not be much better.

While the two were talking, thunder shook in the sky. In the sound of thunderclaps, heavy rain poured down.

The rain lasted for two days and two nights, and it didn't begin to light down until the third day. With Chen Cheng here, no one in the camp got sick because of the rain, which made everyone feel very magical. As a result, rumors began to spread in the camp.

When Tian Yu was patrolling the camp in the rain, he occasionally heard rumors, but he only regarded them as if he hadn't heard them.

Zi said: Respect ghosts and gods and stay away, it can be said to know.
