Chapter 303: Casualties
The defeated soldiers and horses are undoubtedly extremely fragile, especially when the morale is at a low level at this time, if they really encounter the pursuit of the Yuan army, I am afraid it will be another vicious battle.
Lu Bu was almost prepared for the worst, letting Li Ru and Guo Jia retreat with the army first, while Lu Bu led hundreds of wolf riders and more than 1,000 soldiers and horses to the rear. But it turns out that it didn't end so badly! The army in the rear was not the pursuers of Yuan's army, but the Lu army!
"Lord!"
Several people said in unison, and that voice made Lu Bu suddenly shocked! Faintly shining through the firelight, shining on those tired and dark faces, Lu Bu smiled with tears, "Gongming, follow righteousness!" ”
"Lord!"
Xu Huang and Gao Shun hurriedly dismounted and bowed to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu also dismounted, looking at these two tired faces, he was also overjoyed, and helped the two of them up, "If it weren't for Gongming and righteousness, I am afraid that there would not be one out of ten in the army!" Gongming Xunyi and the two are safe, which is really a blessing! ”
"Live up to the expectations of the lord!"
Xu Huang stood up, his eyes were full of tears, and his face was extremely ashamed, "I almost fell into a desperate situation in this battle, if it weren't for the rescue of seven hundred fallen soldiers in accordance with the righteousness, I am afraid that it would also be in danger!" Now it can fight its way out of the encirclement, also thanks to the merits of many soldiers to the death! Li Zou and Zhao Shu, two generals, and more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, even dragged Yan Liangwen and Chou with their lives, so that I had a chance to live......"
If someone is alive, there will naturally be a group of people who will die for you! Li Zou and Zhao Shu didn't have to die, because Xu Huang wanted to personally lead a team of soldiers and horses to delay Yan Liangwen and Chou! But everyone understands that this task is basically a life of death. Xu Huang is the main general, how can those people under him be willing to do it? Please! In the end, Xu Huang decided to let Li Zou and Zhao Shu complete this mission. After defeating Liyi Zhu Ling, Xu Huang also hurriedly found out the news of Li Zou and Zhao Shu, but the result was only the news that Li Zou and Zhao Shu's more than 2,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out.
At this time, when Xu Huang reported to Lu Bu, he was also ashamed! This Li Zou and Zhao Shu were veterans from Lu Bu, and later Lu Bu transferred these two to Xu Huang to command. But in this battle, both of them were killed, and even the corpses could not be returned, isn't it painful?
"Li Zou Zhao Shu, more than 2,000 warriors ......"
Lu Bu closed his eyes, and his tone was a little sad, "Didn't you escape back alone?" ”
"All gone! Not a single one escaped! ”
Xu Huang said sadly, "Even the corpses of the two generals Li Zou and Zhao Shu have not been able to come back......
"The bodies of the two of them will definitely come back and be buried! They are the warriors of my state, and they are also the souls of my state......"
Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
On this battlefield, most of the corpses of soldiers who died in battle were buried or burned in a fire. But this is only for the disposal of the corpses of the pawns, while the corpses of ordinary generals will be retained as the merits of the victors. However, the corpses of Li Zou and Zhao Shu, Lu Bu will definitely come back! We can't let such a loyal person be trampled on after death!
Moreover, Li Zou and Zhao Shu are also veterans who have followed Lu Bu for many years! Even though this official position is not high, it is also very meritorious. This is the highest general in Lu Bu's army who has sacrificed after Hao Meng's death.
After taking his eyes off Xu Huang's body, Lu Bu put it on Gao Shun's face again, and that face was still so resolute and without any expression, but Lu Bu knew that in this battle, Gao Shun's seven hundred fallen soldiers had a lot of responsibility!
"What about the casualties in the trapping camp?"
Lu Bu asked.
"More than 300 people were killed in the battle, more than 100 were seriously injured, and the rest were all lightly wounded......"
Gao Shun replied.
Lu Bu's heart was shocked! That's nearly half the casualty! The entire trapped camp is only more than 700 people! These more than 700 people are all warriors selected from the elite of the state! When Gao Shun in Yixian County broke through tens of thousands of Baibo with more than 700 people, the casualties added up to just over 100 people. Such an elite team suffered more than half of the casualties in this battle, which can be imagined the danger of this battle.
"My lord! If it weren't for the 700 soldiers in this battle, the first defeat and the first to ascend, the casualties of the first dead soldiers in Koyi would also be quite large, which made the morale of the Yuan army fall greatly, and the attack of the Yuan army was stopped, otherwise it would be difficult to stop the rout of our army......"
Xu Huang said again.
For Gao Shun, Xu Huang admires it from the bottom of his heart! The communication between the two of them was the battle of Yixian, and in that battle, Xu Huang almost didn't split Gao Shun with an axe. After Lu Bu surrendered Xu Huang, Gao Shun didn't care about the hatred of the axe, but instead told Lu Bu that Xu Huang had the posture of a general and should be reused.
For this reason, Xu Huang also took the blame and apologized for the incident of splitting an axe to Gao Shun, but Gao Shun did not accept any gifts from him, but expressed his understanding. With such a character, how can Xu Huang not admire? In this battle, it was Gao Shun who turned the tide, and Xu Huang naturally praised him. When telling Lu Bu, he also made Gao Shun's credit clear.
After listening to Xu Huang's words, Lu Bu nodded slightly, and glanced at Gao Shun, who had never made a sound, "Xunyi, it's been hard work......"
Gao Shun gave a military salute to Lu Bu, and his bright eyes revealed a resolute gaze, but he never said a word.
The soldiers and horses of Xu Huang and Gaoshun combined with more than thousands of people, and after meeting with Lu Bu's army, they retreated towards Yuci at night! And Cao Xing, who was behind, also led hundreds of wolves to chase after him. When the wolf cavalry was defeated by the first deceased soldiers, they were again surrounded by the Yuan army, and Lu Bu fought his way out of the encirclement, but some of the wolf cavalry led by Cao Xing did not follow Lu Bu out of the encirclement, but fell into the encirclement of the Yuan army. Cao Xuan was dizzy in the Yuan army, but he happened to run into the Yuan army of Zhu Ling's subordinate to Liyi who was fighting with Xu Huang and Gao Shun, and he also rushed into the battlefield and repelled the Yuan army.
After hearing Cao Xing's statement, Lu Bu also secretly sighed Cao Xing's luck! Unexpectedly, he accidentally ran into Yuan Jun of Liyi Zhu Ling! If Cao Xing hadn't joined forces with Xu Huang and Gao Shun, I am afraid that the final result would also be the annihilation of the entire army.
With the return of Cao Xing, Lu Bu's heart hung with his heart, and he finally settled down! Although the battle was a big defeat, the result was not so bad. The casualties weren't calculated for a while, but they weren't too big. originally thought it was a big rout, but now it seems to be just a small rout, as long as the casualties are not so heavy, Lu Bu will be able to regain his morale in the shortest possible time! Fight Yuan Jun again!
