Tai Shi Ci stayed in the camp. Sit in the tent. I didn't sleep all night. Although Tai Shici decided that Qiu Hua and Qin Li would not have an accident. But Cui Puyuan definitely inferred. Let Taishi be unsettled. After learning the news of the return of the army. Tai Shi Ci hurried out of the camp. Come and meet at the camp gate.

When Tai Shi Ci saw the returning soldiers. The body stiffened. Completely stunned.

One soldier after another was covered in blood. Debilitated.

Many soldiers. He also had a sharp bow and arrow stuck in his body.

The wounded soldiers are numerous and innumerable. Look at it. There are hardly any people who are not injured. When in a hurry. Many of the soldiers were holding each other. Move slowly. And that's still a slightly better situation.

More seriously wounded soldiers. All lay on the horses of the cavalry of the falcon battalion.

Can't get on the road. It can only be carried by war horses.

The only one in good condition. Only the soldiers of the Eagle Falcon Battalion under Lu Bu.

But the soldiers of the Falcon Battalion dismounted. Walk in a hurry. The army arrives at the camp gate. Lu Bu and Qiu Hua came to greet him. Tai Shi Ci nodded silently. Stand aside. Turn sideways to let your troops into the camp.

Soldiers enter the battalion. Tai Shi Ci was still stunned.

Brain. It's full of soldiers' blood.

A soldier standing guard shouted several times in succession. Tai Shi Ci reacted. He turned around. Without saying a word, he went back to his tent. Qiu Hua and Lu Bu settled the soldiers. Then he came to the camp with Cui Puyuan, Gan Ning, Wen Chou and other generals.

Tai Shi Ci took a deep breath. Calm yourself down.

in his eyes. But there is still a touch of unspeakable sadness. Li You led an army of 3,000 as a vanguard. Qiu Hua and Qin Li led an army of 20,000 to fight. But in the end, all those who came back were remnants.

Moreover. Tai Shi Ci didn't see Li You and Qin Li. There was a lot of worry in my heart.

Such a result. Make Tai Shi Ci uncomfortable.

Tai Shi Ci looked at Qiu Hua. "Tell me about this battle."

Qiu Hua nodded. He replied, "General Hui. This time it's a battle. Li You's 3,000 vanguard army. Including Li You. Annihilation. In addition to this. The 20,000 troops led by me and Qin Li. The number of soldiers lost amounted to 18,215 men. And Qin Li also died in this battle."

Speaking of which. Qiu Hua frowned. Moist eye sockets. Can't hold back the tears.

His voice choked. Choked up with tears.

After a long pause. Qiu Huacai said in a deep voice: "We took the soldiers to the rescue. Arrived at the place where Li You was ambushed. Then. Rescued the surviving soldiers. The soldiers said that the Youzhou Army deliberately let our soldiers flee back to the camp to spread the news. Soldiers who want to transfer out the battalion. Then take advantage of the empty camp. Take a detour to attack the big camp."

"Qin Li and I are worried about the safety of the camp. Troops returned. But he fell into the ambush circle of the Youzhou army on the way."

"The true purpose of the Youzhou Army. It's what makes us tired. And when Qin Li and I withdrew, we relaxed our vigilance. Ambush us again."

"The ambush of the Youzhou army is killed. Truncated the front and back roads. At the same time countless archers shoot arrows. Ten thousand arrows in unison. Soldiers are not allowed to advance or retreat. Caught in a desperate situation."

"Facing a desperate situation. The soldiers put up desperate resistance. Killed countless Youzhou troops."

"Because the soldiers fought for their lives. It is difficult for the Youzhou army to win in a short time. changed the strategy of the attack. We want to recruit our soldiers. And yet this battle. Throughout. No generals and soldiers surrendered......"

"General. Our soldiers...... Soldier ......"

"They ......"

Qiu Hua lowered his head. Choked up with tears. Choked up.

Tears. It can't stop flowing.

Don't go through that situation. I can't experience that kind of desperate situation. The soldiers united to resist desperately. Qiu Hua has been through this battle from beginning to end. When he thought of the tragic situation of his soldiers falling in front of him. Thinking of the soldiers dying one after the other. It's like a big rock in my heart. Difficulty breathing.

Tai Shi Ci pursed her lips. The expression is solemn.

to the end. Qiu Hua couldn't help crying. He was like a little child. Crying unscrupulously.

When Lu Bu counted the battlefield. I also saw the tragic situation of the soldiers under my command. Some soldiers were killed by biting the ears of the enemy with their mouths. Some soldiers grabbed the Youzhou soldiers by the hair and were killed. Some of the soldiers were shot with bows and arrows all over their bodies......

The tragedy of the war. It's hell on earth.

Lu Bu has experienced it for himself. Understand Qiu Hua's mood.

Tai Shici, Cui Puyuan, Gan Ning, and Wen Chou were all sitting in place. Not a word. Wait quietly. Everyone was in a bad mood. Because of the loss of nearly 20,000 soldiers in this battle.

Such a failure. It can well be imagined.

A quarter of an hour passed. Qiu Hua stopped crying. His voice grew hoarse. The eye sockets are even redder. The expression is even more haggard. Qiu Hua paused for a while. After organizing the wording. Continued: "All the soldiers are good. Though they die glorious."

After speaking. Qiu Hua was silent for a moment.

Lu Bu took the conversation. "I'll tell you. Although the battle suffered heavy losses. But more than 19,000 Youzhou soldiers were killed. Captured as many as four thousand soldiers. Although we lost. But it has also achieved certain results. This battle. Greatly damaged the Youzhou army. Gave the other side a heavy blow."

Tai Shici listened to Lu Bu's report on the results. I can't be happy in my heart.

What about nearly 20,000 beheadings?

His soldiers. I also lost nearly 20,000 ah.

It can be said that the victory was achieved. Really want to come. Still failed. Tai Shi Ci stood up. Shen Sheng said: "The situation of this battle. I will report to the Lord in detail. Let's go. Let's take a look at our soldiers. They grit their teeth and fight bloodily. Seriously injured. I lost my comrades again. We need our encouragement even more."

Suppress the depression in your heart. Tai Shici took Lu Bu, Cui Puyuan and others out.

Qiu Hua stood up. Also followed.

After the people were out of the tents. Go to the place where the wounded soldiers of the rear battalion are recuperating. Come to the back camp. Tai Shici took Lu Bu, Cui Puyuan, Gan Ning and others. One by one, I comforted the soldiers in the army. Cheer up the soldiers. Tai Shi Ci comforted the soldiers with a smile. Walked a big circle down. The mood is even heavier.

Stabilized the mood of the soldiers. Tai Shi Ci led the people back to the camp.

"Newspaper."

Just sat down shortly after. A soldier who was reporting the news walked in. Yu reported: "General Taishi. The state pastor entered Jixian County with a large army. Distance from our big camp. It's less than eight miles away."

"What's wrong with the lord?"

Tai Shi Ci had a surprised look on his face. I didn't expect Wang Lei to come at this time.

The soldier replied, "The state pastor said that the army has been killed in Jixian County. Already the most critical battle. So I personally led the army to come."

"Let's go down. I'm ready to greet it immediately."

Tai Shi Ci waved his hand to let the soldier who reported the news retreat. looked at Lu Bu and Qiu Hua. Commanded: "General Fengxian, General Gan, General Wen, Qiu Hua. Go and change your clothes. Prepare to meet my lord with me."

"No."

Lu Bu, Qiu Hua, Gan Ning, and Wen Chou turned to leave. Go back to your tent and prepare.

In the tent. There are only two people left, Tai Shici and Cui Puyuan.

Cui Puyuan looked worried. Said solemnly: "General. The army suffered a crushing defeat. So the governor came with a large army. It can be said that it is not a single line of disaster. Under the advice of the general to change the narrative of this battle. Cover up the fact that there was an ambush."

Such a suggestion. It's for the sake of Tai Shi Ci.

Tai Shi Ci shook his head gently. Said: "I am doing the right thing. Sit up straight. How can you distort the facts? This thing. I will tell the Lord truthfully. Please, the Lord decide." Cui Puyuan wants to persuade. But seeing Tai Shici's determined eyes. and no longer persuades.

Not much. Lu Bu, Qiu Hua and others returned to the camp tent.

Tai Shi Ci stood up. led the people out of the tent. Go to the gate of the camp to greet Wang Lei.
