Ten miles outside Nanyang City, it is located in the camp of the Qin army.

Unable to take Nanyang City in one battle, Qin Yin also led the army to retreat to the camp, and did not continue to attack Nanyang City, consuming troops.

Although it can also consume the strength of the Jingzhou army, this is not what he wants, life for life, even if he can finally take Nanyang City, there will be a lot of consumption, and it is not so easy to train veterans who can fight everywhere.

Not to mention, these soldiers are veterans of many battles.

in the main ledger.

"What about the losses?" Qin Yin asked.

"Hui Gongzi, in today's battle, there are more than 1,000 soldiers killed in the battle, more than 7,000 wounded, and only 5,000 people can return to the battlefield after treatment!" Ma Chao reported.

Because this battle was just a temptation, it was not an all-out attack on Nanyang City, and the war did not last long, and there were not many losses.

More than 1,000 people died in the battle.

It's just that the number of injured people is relatively large, and there are more than 2,000 of them, who are seriously injured and can no longer stay on the battlefield.

Wars always have casualties, and this is an unavoidable thing.

Heard Ma Chao's report.

Qin Yin pondered for a moment, looked at Guo Jia, and said: "Fengxiao, the placement of these people will be handled by you, you must not let them down, as for those wounded who are not suitable for continuing to fight, if they still want to stay in the army, they will be arranged in logistics, otherwise, they will be compensated enough!" ”

"No!" Guo Jia arched his hand.

Pang Tong and the others also looked at Qin Yin respectfully.

They all knew Qin Yin's rules for governing the army, and this arrangement was also clearly marked in the army, not to mention anything else, just this was enough for them to loyally follow Qin Yin's side.

After all, no one wants to follow a ruthless monarch.

You must know that in today's army, there will not be such treatment as Qin Yin, those who die in battle will die in battle, and no one will pay attention to the aftermath of the soldiers who died in battle.

As for those who were injured in battle, if they were too serious, in order to avoid affecting the morale of the army, they would be pulled out and dealt with, even if they were saved, they would not stay, unless they could still fight.

And in the Qin army.

But there will be no such situation, but these wounded will be left for treatment, unless they really can't be saved, otherwise they will not give up.

Those who lose their hands and feet in battle and cannot continue to set foot on the battlefield will also have certain arrangements.

It can be said that as long as there is some performance in the army and those who fight bravely, it is only a matter of time before they are promoted, and there is no need to worry about what happens after they die in battle, and there will be some arrangements.

Moreover, Qin Yin will only look at merit, not personal status.

Similarly, Qin Yin has never oppressed the soldiers under his command, there will always be what should be.

It is precisely because of this that the combat power shown by these Qin soldiers will be so brave, and they will fight everywhere for Qin Yin, just like when the city gate was broken at Hangu Pass, there were more than 20,000 Qin soldiers left, none of whom surrendered, and they were ready to fight to the death.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons.

Even if they had only just joined Qin Yin's camp, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Pang De, and Pang Tong were all convinced by Qin Yin.

After all, there are some things that not everyone can do.

"Today's battle, it can be regarded as a general understanding of the situation in Nanyang City, there should be more than 100,000 Jingzhou troops in the city, it is not impossible to forcibly attack it, but in this way, the loss is too great, do you have any suggestions?" Qin Yin asked.

After solving the matter of dead and wounded soldiers, next, it is necessary to discuss how to seize Nanyang City.

Besides, Liu Biao is also among them.

Hear the words.

Guo Jia and the others were also silent, thinking.

Although they were also present in today's battle, they also saw the situation on the city wall, but it was still a problem to take Nanyang City.

It's not just a matter of figuring out the situation and being able to think of a solution.

See the expressions of the crowd.

Qin Yin didn't urge, he was also thinking.

If he uses his strength, it will not be difficult to take Nanyang City, but in that case, he will be like Yu Ji, even if it is very different now than before, but there are some things that he does not dare to touch easily.

There are some consequences, even for him, which are difficult to bear.

Unless....

Otherwise, why should he control the imperial court and lead the army to fight everywhere, one person is enough to solve all the problems, and no one in the Central Plains can stop him.

For a while.

"Childe, the subordinates think that they should first take turns to wear down the will of the Nanyang defenders, and then attack, now there are more than 100,000 Jingzhou troops in Nanyang City, and it is indeed not easy to attack, but if the Jingzhou army does not have the will, it will be much easier to capture Nanyang City!" Guo Jia suggested.

The voice fell.

"Childe, my subordinates also agree with what Guo Junshi said, Liu Biao is now personally leading the army to sit in Nanyang, and what he can't hold on to is that he knows the strength of our army and doesn't want to fight with our army head-on, and our army has less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, even if he takes Nanyang, he may not be able to continue to attack Xiangyang."

"Then, first stalemate with it for a period of time, send people to scold every day, weaken the will of the Jingzhou army, and then it will be the time to attack!"

Pang Tong also stood up and agreed with Guo Jia's words.

After all, the Jingzhou army has been trapped in the city, and there will definitely be complaints, and Liu Biao does not dare to confront them head-on, then there is very likely to be a problem.

As long as there is an opportunity, it is no longer a difficult thing to take Nanyang.

Wait for Pang Tong to speak.

Guo Jia also arched his hand and continued: "And we can also send a team of soldiers and horses to Xiangyang City from another place, increasing the pressure on Liu Biao, you know, Liu Biao except for Shangyong, Wuling, Jiangxia and other places, most of the rest of the soldiers and horses have been transferred to guard Nanyang City, although Xiangyang has a garrison, but there are not many. ”

Hear out.

Qin Yin's eyes also lit up.

There is nothing wrong with what Guo Jia said, except for the important passes in Jingzhou, the soldiers and horses that Liu Biao can mobilize have also been transferred to Nanyang to defend the city, and Xiangyang has defenders, and there will not be too many.

Then, it is not impossible to send a group of soldiers and horses to make a detour to Xiangyang.

Of course, you can't send too many soldiers and horses, Nanyang also needs a large army to suppress it, you know, the more than 100,000 Jingzhou troops in the city are not for viewing.

Even if the morale is low, it still has the strength to fight.

Sending troops to Xiangyang was just to increase the pressure on Liu Biao, not to directly attack Xiangyang City.
