Chapter 148: After the War

The 6,000 Ying Long army marched neatly and with high momentum, and the 20,000 Western troops besieging Zhu Cihong were terrified when they saw this, they couldn't take the 4,000 Ying Long army here, and another 6,000 came, there is no doubt that they will be defeated!

As the outermost soldiers of the Great Western Army were constantly knocked down, the 20,000 Great Western Army besieging Zhu Cihong soon suffered nearly half of the casualties and collapsed immediately.

"Withdraw!" The 20,000 Western troops attacking Zhu Cihong withdrew in horror.

"Your Majesty! It's too late to help! Zhou Cao came to Zhu Cihong and knelt down on one knee and said.

"Don't worry about me, take your men and horses to defeat and exterminate these thieves!" Zhu Cihong said with a light smile.

"The last general obeys!"

"Soldiers, the emperor has an order to exterminate all the thieves and kill" Zhou Cao took six thousand soldiers of the Ying Long Army and turned to the central battlefield to kill.

At this moment, the 80,000 thief army in the central battlefield has also suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and seeing Zhou Cao with 6,000 Ying Long's army thinking about killing here, he suddenly broke his heart and gall, and there were faint signs of collapse.

At this moment, Luo Rucai's 1,000 personal soldiers had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and he glanced at the battlefield in front of him, realizing that he had lost, and at the same time saw Huang Degong swinging his knife again and wanted him to kill, Luo Rucai wanted to vomit blood.

"Huang Pifu, count you ruthless! Let's fight again in the future! Remove! Luo Rucai didn't dare to fight, so he immediately ordered a retreat, and after two false moves, he took the remaining more than 400 personal soldiers and retreated.

"I want to go! It's not that easy! Kill" Huang Degong still has more than 2,000 people left, chasing Luo Ru and not letting go.

"Withdraw! Remove! "With the order to retreat, the Great Western Army finally collapsed on all fronts and scattered and fled.

"Ying Longjun on the bayonet! Charge! Zhou Cao roared, and all the soldiers of the Ying Long Army pulled out their bayonets and put them into the card slot with a click.

"Kill" Ying Long's army and the remaining Hubei army began to chase and kill the defeated Great Western Army all over the mountains.

In front of Zhu Cihong, Niu Yongsheng suddenly knelt down in front of Zhu Cihong, his face was full of bloodthirsty red light, and his belligerent intent was fully revealed.

"Just leave 2,000 people to protect me, and you can charge with the other 2,000 soldiers!" Zhu Cihong smiled and said.

"Thank you for your grace!" Niu Yongsheng stood up overjoyed.

"Bayonets on the artillery battalion, kill the enemy! "Rush" Niu Yongsheng was extremely excited and joined the chase with 2,000 artillery battalion soldiers.

In this big battle, there is no doubt that Da Ming won, and at this moment it depends on how many enemy troops can be annihilated in the end.

Zhu Cihong looked at Ma Yue'e and said with a smile: "Miss Ma should also kill the enemy!" ”

"Emperor Xie, Yue'e should stay here to protect the emperor." Ma Yue'e looked at the soldiers of the Great Western Kingdom who were fleeing all over the mountains and shook her head, she was not a murderous person, she was not willing to be easily contaminated if she could not be contaminated with blood.

"Your Majesty, are we winning?" Huang Ying raised her head, subconsciously looked around, and what came into her eyes was a dead corpse, and the soldier of the Great Western Army who was hit by three lead bullets at the same time appeared in her mind, and her pretty face, which was originally slightly pink, instantly turned white again.

"Don't look at it if you're timid! I protect you! Zhu Cihong said, and pressed Huang Ying's head into his chest, blocking her vision with his chest.

"Oh." Huang Ying responded obediently, and the afterglow of her eyes swept to Ma Yue, who was looking at her, and she felt that the eyes of many Ying Long soldiers who were protecting her seemed to be looking at her, and her heart immediately felt a little shy, and her frightened pale face began to show pink again.

Beauty is like jade, although Huang Ying is slightly worse than Yiyi in appearance, but she is also a touching beauty, under shyness, she looks very attractive, so that Zhu Cihong, who found it, almost couldn't help but bite a few mouthfuls on her smooth and delicate neck before she was willing.

This chase lasted for two hours, and Luo Rucai's army was defeated, and his 100,000 troops were almost lost.

"Hateful!" Luo Rucai was extremely embarrassed and retreated all the way to Sichuan with more than 10,000 remnants. He was defeated so badly in this battle, losing more than 80,000 troops, and he would not be punished when he returned, which made him not hate.

Zhang Xianzhong only had an army of 400,000 troops, but now he was lost more than 80,000 by Luo Rucai in one battle, which is equivalent to Zhang Xianzhong losing nearly a quarter of his troops at once, the most important thing is that he did not achieve any results, with Zhang Xianzhong's tyrannical temper, Luo Rucai was a little afraid when he thought about it.

"Your Majesty, the army wiped out 50,000 thieves and captured more than 30,000, but the commander of the thief army failed to capture it!" When the pursuing army has returned, the results of the battle are counted.

"How many casualties are on our side!" Zhu Cihong nodded and asked.

"Back to the emperor, the Second Army of the Yinglong Army lost sixty-two and two hundred and thirty-four people, the Third Army lost 2,105 killed and wounded 3,270, and the Hubei Army lost 10,280 killed and 21,702 wounded, with a total of more than 37,600 casualties."

"There are so many dead and wounded in our army!" Zhu Cihong frowned.

killed 50,000 enemies, and his own side also suffered more than 30,000 casualties, Zhu Cihong sighed helplessly, this is a big victory but also a tragic victory! The most important thing is that more than half of the 60,000 Hubei Army casualties besieged in the central battlefield have so many casualties, and the Ying Long Army is still good, except for Huang Degong, the third army that has just been formed, the second army only suffered less than 300 casualties.

Huang Degong's old face was a little red, because it was also Ying Long's army, and the casualties of his third army were almost ten times that of Zhou Cao's second army, and the gap was too big, although there were 5,000 soldiers because the new army was on the battlefield for the first time, but it was very unsightly in the end.

"The order is that all soldiers will be paid an additional month's military salary, rewarded for meritorious deeds, and those who died in battle will be compensated according to the law!" Zhu Cihong said.

"Thank Emperor Longen!" All the soldiers bowed.

Zhu Cihong sighed slightly, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't have enough troops in hand, he really wanted to consider whether to take the opportunity to move westward and destroy Zhang Xianzhong first. It's a pity that this can only be thought about, now is not the time, it is impossible in the end, and he can't spare this energy now.

After all, Zhang Xianzhong still has more than 300,000 troops in hand, if you want to destroy it, it is impossible to do it for a month or two, and now the Qing army is violently attacking Tongguan, I believe that it will not be long before Li Zicheng is not defeated, he will be driven out of Shaanxi by the Qing army, and the Qing army has no worries, it may gather the national army to go south at any time, he must be ready to deal with it at any time, only by repelling the first all-out southern invasion of the Qing army, he can really free up his hands to destroy Zhang Xianzhong, and at the same time reform the economy and taxes, and really become rich and powerful.

"Order, the army returns!" Zhu Cihong finished the order and boarded the chariot.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The army turned back to Wuchang first.

This battle did not waste much time, Zhang Xianzhong lost more than 80,000 troops, I believe that he will be honest for a while, and he will not dare to go out of Sichuan again, but he still has to make some arrangements before returning to Nanjing.
