Zhang Liao and Gao Shun took people back to the city overnight.

Back in the city, the soldiers were exhausted.

After some counting, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's faces were very bad.

"The loss of more than 50,000 soldiers and horses is a shame for the lord." Zhang Liao said sadly.

Gao Shun's face was dark, and there were only a few hundred soldiers left in his 20,000 headquarters, and it can be said that he was almost wiped out.

In this battle, 40,000 infantry were killed, and Zhang Liao's 20,000 cavalry also lost more than half of their men.

After the first battle, the soldiers and horses in Liaodong were wounded and unable to fight again.

Of course, Wuhuan's soldiers and horses were not much better, 50,000 soldiers and horses rushed to Liaodong, and after a battle, there were only more than 12,000 people left, and their morale was low, and they were also unable to fight again.

Uton tightened the wound on his left arm and said with a sinister face: "This group of despicable Han people, if I catch them, I will definitely cut off their heads." ”

He didn't expect to suffer such a big loss, 50,000 cavalry, after a battle, there were more than 12,000 people left, and the losses were heavy.

Although the Liaodong side suffered more losses than them, they didn't think much of it, they thought that the ten Han people were not as good as them.

Uton went back to lick his wounds, and was temporarily unable to attack, so he could only pull down his face and go back for help.

And Zhang Liao Gaoshun and they directly retreated to Xiangping City, began to strengthen the city defenses, and prepared to defend to the death.

They also have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city, who can defend the city together if needed.

It didn't take long for this battle to shake up and down Wuhuan.

The 50,000 Wuhuan army fought against the 90,000 Han army, and the losses were so great.

If it is calculated, Wuhuan does have a greater loss than Liaodong.

Liaodong's losses of more than 40,000 were infantry, plus more than 10,000 cavalry, while the Wuhuan people lost all cavalry.

The huge loss is secondary, which gives the Wuhuan people a delusion.

"Could it be that the Wuhuan army can't easily sweep through the world of the Han people?"

"Is it that the Wuhuan people have become weaker, or have the Han people become stronger?"

With such a big loss, the Wuhuan people naturally have doubts in their hearts.

This is very terrifying, in their concept, an army of 50,000 is enough to sweep the entire Youzhou, and an army of 200,000 is no problem to sweep the entire Han.

But now, the 50,000-strong army not only failed to break through Liaodong, but also suffered heavy losses.

When Qiu Liju received the news, his face was black and terrifying.

He didn't expect that this Liaodong would be so difficult to deal with.

This is true of a Shenyang city, and the same is true of Liaodong today.

And when the news came back, Xiangping City in Liaodong was also a tall city with strong defenses.

Xiangping City is the earliest city established by Zhang Yu, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people.

Qiu Liju was very embarrassed, but he couldn't retreat like this.

Retreating at this time, his prestige will be dealt a huge blow, and his position will be unstable.

When Zhang Yu received the news, he was also very angry.

"Lord, Wen Yuan, they fought quite well." Dian Wei saw that Zhang Yu's face was very bad, and muttered quietly on the side.

Zhang Yu sighed and said: "Wen Yuan and Gao Shun fought very well, and they did it correctly, the soldiers just had to risk their lives to protect the people and protect their homes, but the first war made us lose more than 50,000 good men, this revenge must be avenged." ”

Huang Zhong, Zhao Yun and Tai Shici also breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Zhang Yu's words, Zhang Yu didn't want to hold him accountable, but he couldn't swallow this breath.

More than 50,000 troops were lost in a battle, and Zhang Yu's heart was dripping blood.

To form an army, I don't know how much effort it will take.

The generals are also hateful, they have long regarded Zhang Yu's territory as their home.

After this battle, the two sides began to confront each other, and Qiu Liju did not dare to start a big war easily.

Because he found that the army in Liaodong was not so weak, it was really going to die, and there were heavy casualties.

"Go, let me arrest the people of Liaodong, I can catch as many as I can, if they don't come out, I will cut them down one by one in front of them." In the end, Chuliju was hysterical and came up with such an idea.

Liaodong has Zhang Liao defending, and it is not so easy to break through in a short time.

However, there are always some villages and towns where all the people have not been evacuated, and some people have been caught on the road.

Over the course of a few days, they arrested hundreds of people.

Qiu Liju was furious when he heard this.

"A bunch of garbage, tens of thousands of people go out, and I will catch a few hundred people back. Rubbish. ”

"King, the people of Liaodong are hiding, it's better for us to go elsewhere to arrest them, anyway, the Han people all look the same." A subordinate general said.

When Qiu Liju heard this, he felt justified and immediately sent someone.

In this way, the people of Liaoxi suffered, and they went to the nearest Liaoxi county to arrest people.

In a few days, although Qiu Liju consumed a lot of food, he let people send a batch of food, and at the same time, the army that went out to loot also looted a lot of food, which was enough for him to sustain it.

Qiu Liju wanted to attack Shenyang City, not only because he wanted to maintain his prestige, but also because he was afraid that Liaodong would threaten him if it became stronger.

Not to mention anything else, Liaodong has become stronger, and it will become a huge obstacle for them to go south and plunder in the future.

So Qiu Liju came up with such a desperate plan, and even slaughtered the people outside the city and forced Zhang Yu to fight with them out of the city.

Zhang Yu didn't know their plan yet, and at this time he was holding his breath, and he was also planning to go out of the city to fight with them and extinguish their prestige.

"Lord, although the enemy is strong, we are not weak, and if we fight outside the city, we may not suffer much." Huang Zhong said.

Zhang Yu calculated the strength of the troops, and when he went out of the city to fight, he could dispatch 60,000 troops, and the rest of the soldiers and horses would defend the city.

After the first battle, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and it may lose the ability to fight out of the city.

But Zhang Yu thinks it's okay to give it a try.

Because Zhang Yu also saw the internal discord within Wu Huan, if they could fight a battle and make them suffer huge losses, Qiu Liju's situation would be difficult at that time.

The Wuhuan people are here to plunder, to make a fortune, not to send them to death.

As long as the losses are too great, some tribal leaders will naturally waver.

In the next few days, Zhang Yu actively prepared.

Let the soldiers who go out of battle have a good rest, and prepare to equip them with some good quality weapons and armor.

Zhang Yu exchanged a batch of high-end goods from the system.

In particular, Zhang Yu selected 10,000 cavalry from the army to form a heavy cavalry, led by heavy cavalry Huang Zhong.

These heavy cavalry were heavily armoured from men to horses.

Heavy cavalry is undoubtedly one of the most powerful troops at the moment.

Zhang Yu had already planned to form a heavy cavalry, but there were too many things, and he fought one battle after another, and he didn't give him time to breathe at all.

Now, the big war is imminent, Zhang Yu can only be formed in a hurry, although he has not undergone much training, but they are all carefully selected soldiers, and they can adapt quickly.

Heavy cavalry, wearing dozens of pounds of heavy armor, needs good quality soldiers, fortunately, Zhang Yu's army is strictly trained, well treated, and nutrition can keep up, and 10,000 soldiers can be found in the whole army to form heavy cavalry.

The heavy cavalry is the confidence that Zhang Yu dares to go out of the city to fight them.
