But this is also thanks to Ling Xiao's galloping blitzkrieg action, although it has been short, it has definitely dealt a fatal blow to the siege army of Xuanyang Kingdom.

The siege army of Xuanyang Kingdom has no trebuchets, if it is a strong siege, it will not be a way to kill itself.

Therefore, only retreat to preserve strength is the best policy.

Seeing the retreat of the Xuanyang army in turn, the tower of Hukou Pass was full of jubilation.

Outside the city, however, there was a wailing spread all over the wilderness, spreading for dozens of miles, and it could not be stopped at all.

Tie Mu's face was pale, and he took a long breath: "Whew, I didn't expect that the commander of the enemy army, a hairy boy, would have such a strange tactic, and seeing it today opened my eyes!"

In fact, Tiemu's evaluation of Ling Xiao is still a little low.

Ling Xiao's courage is simply invincible.

But no matter how high the evaluation is, Tiemu will never say it.

If you say it, you will not be a slap in the face.

However, this battle also let him know that the enemy commander Ling Xiao is not simple.

It's just that he can't figure it out.

Why is such a general unheard of before?

The general's face was depressed, this battle was too bad, it was a great shame.

In this way, they were rushed in by the opponent's five-way army, which made their soldiers dizzy, and before they could understand what was going on, the other party actually walked away.

"It's not our fault in this battle!"

Tie Mu looked at the general who lowered his head gloomily, and he let out a long sigh: "It's not that the soldiers of our Xuanyang Kingdom can't do it, even if it's the real combat strength of the 20,000 border army of the Canglong Kingdom, there is nothing to fear." However, the leader of each of their armies is extremely strong, and our masters want to annihilate them, but they also pay a heavy price. In the final analysis, it is just one sentence, that is the strength of the master!"

Tiemu smiled faintly: "Generals, don't mind, although their tactics are effective for a short time and are terrifying, they are difficult to reuse after they work once." ”

"Marshal Iron, what do you mean?"

A general asked, puzzled.

"Because... They have few soldiers!"

Princess Xi, who was standing on the side, spoke: "Even if all the border troops in Hukou Pass are really calculated, it will only be 20,000 people. And after the battle just now, although they have achieved brilliant stains, they will also have casualties and attrition. ”

"As far as the Canglong Border Fortress army that fought today is concerned, there are about 3,000 people in each army, and there are 15,000 people in the fifth army, no matter how brave they are, in the face of our side surrounded on all sides, their attrition should not be small!"

"Although we lost this battle, it was a terrible defeat, but it did not hurt the foundation of our army, even if they came several times. Although our losses are great, we can afford to consume energy, and the other party absolutely cannot afford to lose!"

Princess Xi's detailed analysis made everyone present nod in unison.

"Yes, what Her Royal Highness said is very true!"

Tie Mu nodded in agreement with Princess Xi's words, and immediately ordered: "Check the casualties, I want to know exactly how many people died on the other side?"

"Yes, Marshal!"

Several generals received the order and went to check the casualties on both sides of the battle.

...

Inside the Tiger Pass Pass.

The question that Princess Xi talked about is also Ling Xiao's biggest headache.

Manpower is limited!

Although this battle was a big victory, it was also an unprecedented big victory, and it can also be said to be a miracle.

With 15,000 troops, he strongly attacked the 300,000 enemy barracks, and finally returned triumphantly.

The casualties were less than 3,000.

This battle is won by less, and it is simply regarded as a legend in this world.

But at this time, Ling Xiao was not proud, and his face was very sad, and his brows were tightly locked.

This was not because he was deliberately pretentious, but because he found that if he continued to fight like this, his army of less than 20,000 Frontier Fortresses would not be able to be consumed at all.

In this battle, the enemy's losses were of course extremely large, and the number of troops lost alone was at least three or four times that of his side, not to mention military supplies, grain, grass, siege equipment, and so on.

However, the enemy had an absolute superiority in strength, and in this battle, even though the enemy army suffered heavy losses, it still had more than 200,000 troops.

For the strength that Tiemu currently has, the loss of thirty or fifty thousand makes him a little itchy, but it can't hurt the foundation of his Xuanyang Kingdom's army.

On Ling Xiao's side, after this battle, there were about 3,000 casualties, and the remaining troops were only 15,000.

Even if he is allowed to continue to win a big victory like this, with 3,000 casualties each time, he will not be able to withstand several charges.

In terms of the brilliant results of this battle, when Ling Xiao fought to the annihilation of the entire army, he could only destroy the opponent's army of more than 100,000, and this was the ultimate estimate.

In the end, the army was wiped out, and he was left with a bare marshal.

But the other party still has at least 200,000 troops, and they can still ride their horses and whip and go straight to the hinterland of Canglong Country.

Looking at the casualty report, Ling Xiao only had a wry smile in his heart.

Although all the soldiers are now high-spirited and murderous, they still show a proud smile from time to time.

He felt extremely helpless.

"Hey, think about the vast territory of my Canglong Country, why do you have such a small number of troops in the border fortress? If you give me 300,000 troops, no, 150,000, I will be able to kill the 300,000 troops of Xuanyang Country without leaving a piece of armor, but Tema's... I have 15,000 men left, how can this battle be fought?"

Ling Xiao shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

Gai Li, who was standing on the side, also felt extremely devastated when he heard this.

Indeed it is!

"General, we are aggrieved in Tetema, although our general has the ability to charge into battle, but he lacks the most basic condition, that is, the source of soldiers. ”

Gai Lie couldn't contain his emotions and scolded.

As he spoke, he was very confused.

"General, this kind of thing happened in Canglong Country, it is simply incredible, the soldiers in front are desperately working, but they have not seen reinforcements for a long time, it is really unforgivable!"

Gailie almost collapsed, and he wanted to die head-on.

As long as there is enough troops in front of him, he can avenge General Ye Motian, but now he has fallen short because of the restrictive conditions.

Isn't this suffocating to death?

"Lao Gai, you said that if you recruit soldiers on the spot, can you do it?"

Ling Xiao asked with a sudden frown.

"Local conscription?"

Gai Lie was slightly stunned, and then said dejectedly: "General, in fact, most of the soldiers in the Biansai army are recruited on the spot, since the invasion of the Xuanyang Army, our soldiers have been killed and wounded almost 100,000 people, and the remaining nearly 20,000 people are all recruited on the spot after I came to Hukou Pass, and today, there are almost no adult men in Hukou Pass...!"

When Gai Lie said this, Ling Xiao understood.

Obviously, there are no adult men in the Tiger Pass!
