Chapter 349: Behind the Hero is a pile of death
Liu Meng's method has a bit of the "Mangutai" tactical flavor of the Mongolian cavalry in later generations. Taking advantage of the madden, the balance benefits that the saddle brings to the rider can release arrows while running. And it is moving, and it is difficult for the opponent to shoot.
Zhang Liao's 10,000 horses joined, among which Hao Meng and others all hoped to make meritorious contributions to cause Zhang Jie to be reused, after all, now that they had been put into Zhang Jie's account, it was impossible to turn back. The important thing is that Zhang Jie's power is the strongest, and if he can follow the pacification of the world, he will be able to mix up a good title in the future and be crowned a wife and son.
Zhao Yun's heavy-armored iron Buddha Tu was getting closer and closer to Yuan Shao's Chinese army commander Xuqi. Finally, someone in the Yuan army could not withstand the pressure and retreated.
There are more recruits in the back, and they can still follow when they are in a hurry, but as soon as the anger stops, some recruits finally start to flee for their lives. Someone took the lead, and soon a chain reaction was formed.
Soon more and more people joined in the escape. No matter how much the commander is in the back, Cui is useless.
As the soldiers on Zhang Jie's side shouted surrender and not kill, more and more people put down their weapons.
The people around Yuan Shao were also anxious, but it was useless, and the defeat had already appeared. Lord, get out! Let's retreat to the city and defend the city with the help of the city walls. Otherwise, the whole army may be wiped out! Guo Tudao.
Yuan Shao stood motionless, as if he hadn't heard.
After a cup of tea, Feng Ji said: The lord withdraws! Defend the city and fight again in the future!
Yuan Shao's face was blue-skinned, and he said: That's it! Evacuate to the city.
After the order is broken, prevent the enemy from following into the city.
Promise!
With Yuan Shao's order, the defenders in the city opened the city gate, and the soldiers behind immediately rushed in. Flee back to the city.
But there were so many people on the battlefield that only two gates were opened, so how could they all flee back at once, and finally become headless flies scurrying around.
Zhang Jie saw that Yuan's army was in chaos, and said: Pass the order, use cavalry to pursue the fleeing soldiers, as long as you put down your arms and surrender, you will not die!
Promise!
With one order after another, go down. Zhang Jie's army began to take prisoners everywhere!
Zhang Jie stepped off the chariot and stood on the ground, not standing firm for a while. Fell to the ground. Dian Wei was shocked, Shimin, are you okay!
Immediately helped Zhang Jie up.
Tian Feng, Jia Xu and the others immediately came over and said: The lord is fine!
Ay! After standing for a long time, my feet are a little numb.
In fact, Zhang Jie knows that this is a high degree of tension and has been going on for a long time. Blood sugar is a bit low. In addition, there was about to be a big battle, Zhang Jie had no appetite, and he didn't eat breakfast at all. Low blood sugar so I didn't stand firm at once! And the head is a little dizzy!
I'm fine, I'll give the order to go down, take good care of the prisoners, and then clean up the battlefield and go to rest for a while!
Yuan Hao. This is up to you. Promise!
Zhang Jie went back to the tent directly, brother, can there be honey? I take a sip.
Oh! Yes, Old Man Chen sent some last time!
Zhang Jie drank a few sips of honey and felt more comfortable.
Zhang Jie thought to himself, damn, Lao Tzu is not yet forty, why does this body feel worse and worse! Could it be that a woman plays too much and loses her body? Do you want to tonify the kidneys?
God, you have to let Lao Tzu live for more than ten years! No matter what, I have to calm down the troubled times before I can die! Otherwise, you won't be able to see what you die!
It seems that I will have to learn to maintain health in the future!
And the soldiers on the battlefield were taking prisoners everywhere. In fact, Zhang Jie's army also suffered heavy casualties in this battle.
But it was finally won, Yuan Shao's main force was defeated, and the rest was tens of thousands of horses scattered all over Qingzhou.
Over time, the war ended with a warp.
Zhang Jie suddenly got up and said, "Brother, follow me to have a look."
Zhang Jie came to the battlefield and looked at the corpses all over the ground, his face was pale. There is no joy of victory.
The blood all over the ground stained the whole earth red. Most of the corpses had hideous faces, and some even had blood flowing from the corners of their mouths. Many bodies were intertwined. Some even hugged each other to death!
Not far away, the fallen war horse neighed in pain.
Zhang Jie wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and looked up at the sun shining on the red land with a blue face, so bright that he couldn't open his eyes.
Pity the bones by the Luding River, like a person in a spring boudoir dream. I don't know how many families have lost their husbands, how many families have lost their sons, their fathers. Every war is a test of the mind. Cleaning up the battlefield is another mental ordeal.
Zhang Jie's heart is hard enough, but every time he sees this mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, he is still a little uncomfortable. It's hard for modern people to feel this breath of death all over the ground!
One will be successful, and ten thousand bones will wither. Behind the heroes is the accumulation of death, and behind the war is how precious peace is!
My lord, go down and rest! Don't stand here. Yang Hongdao.
Zhong Ming, you explained that you know what you can't do, why is that? Zhang Jie asked.
After this battle, I am afraid that tens of thousands of soldiers will be gone, I originally hoped that Yuan Shao would surrender, and Jie planned to draw a piece of land for him to make a fief, but Yuan Shao felt that Jie was insulting him.
Now that the two armies have finished fighting, Kejie knows that Yuan Shao will still refuse to surrender.
Zhong Ming: How many people do you estimate Yuan Shao will flee back to the city?
Yang Hongdao: Hong estimates that there are about 20,000! In addition, there are many people who fled in the direction of Langya. We'll find out when General Juyi and the others come back.
Zhang Jie said: Zhong Ming sent an order to go down and count the number of people. Let them clean up the battlefield, take good care of the prisoners, and do not kill the prisoners. Take off the heavy armor of Yuan Shao's heavy armor and take it back.
Don't attack Tancheng for the time being, let's talk about it after it is cleaned up!
Promise!
Hiroshi is going to give the order right away!
By the afternoon, the casualties had cleared up.
Zhang Jie's army suffered nearly 20,000 dead and more than 20,000 wounded. And Yuan Shao's army died about 20,000 dead and captured 60,000, many of whom were wounded. Nearly 20,000 fled back into the city, and the rest fled in all directions.
Zhang Jie's 100,000-strong army suffered nearly half of the casualties. Zhang Jie knows that over time, many wounded people will die, and it would be good if the injured could survive two-thirds of the time.
From the casualties, it can be seen that the two sides are actually about the same, but Zhang Jie's soldiers and veterans are more and their morale is higher. In the end, I persevered. And Yuan Shao has too many recruits, and he played very well at the beginning. In addition, there are heavy armor soldiers and euphorbias, so they have been persistent. It's just that it started to collapse after a long time.
This battle was very dangerous, if it wasn't for Zhang Jie's soldiers to hold on a little longer, it might have been Yuan Shao's victory.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zhang Jie said: This battle was fought very hard, although it was won, the result was not bad. But the casualties were too great, and we were a little underestimated before the war. Yuan Shao's heavy infantry, the halberd soldiers, we didn't know anything before the war. It's so undeserved.
Our intelligence officers are not doing a good enough job. I don't even know that the other party has such a big killing weapon, it's just a rice bucket, which is irresponsible to the fighters.
Jie is also responsible for this matter, and we will strengthen intelligence collection in the future. This time it was a narrow victory, but next time it's hard to say.
Tian Fengdao: The main thing is that there are too many victories and battles, and everything is empty. Originally, we still had Xu Huang in Guangling and Zhang Yan in Yuzhou, all of whom could be transferred to fight, so that the grasp was greater.
