Chapter 625: Liu Shun breaks through
As night fell, the battlefield gradually fell silent, except for the occasional moaning of wounded horns.
This battle was not a fiasco for the Qing army, but it was a gratifying defeat for Zhishun Wang and Li Guohan for Gushan, and the morale of the Qing army was greatly reduced, and it was impossible to recover in a short time.
At this time, the Wei army could not count how many Qing troops were killed on the battlefield, but a rough estimate showed that the Qing army had attribution of at least about 40,000 people, including the casualties in the siege battle.
The losses of the Wei army were also about six or seven thousand, and the dead generals also had four or five generals, and the Kesheng army suffered a lot of losses in order to block Nikan, and there were many casualties in the right fort, and Jin Xiangang and Yuan Shizhong were both severely damaged.
In this battle, the most elite Xuanhu, Dragoon, and Kesheng of the Wei army were all injured, but the result was to kill Shang Kexi and completely defeat Duoduo's arrogance.
The Qing army broke a king under Xiangcheng, and Gao Yihuan believed that it was impossible for Duoduo to continue attacking Xiangcheng in the short term.
Gao Yihuan stood in the south of Xiangcheng, saw people coming and going under the city, the western soldiers were busy cleaning up the battlefield, the Qing army on the left flank was defeated, leaving corpses in one place, iron helmets, cotton armor, firearms, war knives, spears are all good things, and some Western troops even scuffled for a pair of iron armor.
Xu Heihu ran up to the city, pointed to the western army under the city, and said angrily: "King, these Sichuan lands have robbed us of our military exploits and our things!" “
Gao Yihuan smiled and patted Xu Heihu's shoulder, "Black Tiger, the lonely king can't look down on this little thing, they can take it if they want, anyway, everyone will be the lonely king in the future, why do you care about this little thing?" “
Xu Heihu said in his heart, "It's over, the king really wants to subdue the surname Li." “
Gao Yihuan waved his hand: "Let them go!" Your credit, the Lone King remembers! Suddenly, his tone changed, "Hey, Black Tiger, what's the matter with you, injured?" “
Xu Heihu was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly touched his waist, faintly oozing blood, "Mother, the minister has been recruited." ”
The Tiger Horse Army was the first to rush out of the south gate, and repeatedly hedged with the Qing Army's horse army, and the cavalry lost nearly 30%.
Xu Heihu charged forward, although he wore two sets of armor, he was still inevitably injured, and he didn't know when he was stabbed in the waist.
Because of the high level of tension and excitement on the battlefield, he didn't notice it, and now as soon as he relaxed, he felt pain.
Gao Yihuan hurriedly beckoned the medical officer, asked the soldiers to carry the stretcher, let Xu Heihu lie down, and told Wu Youke to cure Xu Heihu with a worried face.
The medical officer corps in the Wei army was established very early, and many wounded in the army could be treated, which was also a major soft power of the Wei army.
Gao Yihuan even planned to train a large number of medical officers in the future and put them in the local area to treat the people, as one of his great good governance.
Seeing that the king cared so much, Xu Heihu didn't feel any pain, but was happy in his heart, and said with a black face and a smile: "King, it's okay, the minister can bandage it, and he can kill the enemy!" “
Gao Yihuan comforted him a few words, told him to have a good rest, and after a while, he upgraded the Xuanhu Battalion to a town and handed it over to him as the commander.
The medical officer team carried Xu Heihu away, and Gao Yihuan returned to the city, looking at the corpses all over the city, as well as the Western army cleaning up the battlefield.
Gao Yihuan thought in his heart that it was time to have a long talk with Li Dingguo.
The battlefield was vast, and the Wei army cleaned up overnight, and was busy until the third watch before the corpses of the Wei soldiers were cleaned up.
In addition to the four generals who died in the battle, the remains of the remaining soldiers were collectively buried on the hillside on the left side of Xiangcheng, and the rows of new graves were extremely desolate.
Gao Yihuan did not go out of the city, but he kept standing at the head of the city, watching the soldiers bury the body, and asked Chen Mingxia to help him write an inscription, write a sacrificial text in his name to record the battle, and find a stonemason to carve an inscription and set up a stone tablet in front of the cemetery.
In order to prevent the plague, the corpses of the Qing army were also collected and a few large pits were dug casually, but they had not had time to bury them.
In a day's battle, the soldiers were already tired, and no one had the heart to bury these animals overnight and wait for a night's sleep.
In Xiangcheng, all the generals of the Wei army gathered together, and many people wore bandages on their bodies and hung their arms to participate in the deliberations.
At this time, the battle had been over for a long time, and the excitement of the soldiers was still unabated.
Many people with strategic vision know that after this war, the Wei army was basically stable.
In the future, as long as you don't make stupid moves, don't make big mistakes, and dominate one side, there will be no problem.
If the Wei army develops for a few more years, consolidates the locality, expands the territory, and dominates the world, it is not impossible to create a new dynasty.
When the officers and men were able to see their own political future and the results of their struggle, they were naturally very excited.
"King, what's next?"
"King, do you want to have a surprise attack at night and slaughter that turtle grandson of Duoduo!"
The soldiers in the lobby were gossiping, but Gao Yihuan was very relieved to hear it, and the pride and ambition in his heart also came up.
However, Duoduo's turtle grandson's camp is quite strong, and the possibility of attacking the Qing camp is not high.
In Xiangcheng, when the morale of the Wei army was soaring, the Qing military camp outside the city was gloomy.
Although the strength of the Qing army still exists, and it still occupies a huge advantage in terms of strength, it is still the party that has the initiative, but today Duoduo attacked with all his strength, but failed to defeat the Wei army, but folded Shang Keg, and the corpse was not snatched back, which hurt self-esteem a little and made people feel discouraged.
In Duoduo's big tent, many Qing generals lowered their heads, thinking that Duoduo was going to be angry, and they didn't want to just sit behind the handsome position, with a gloomy face and no sound.
Nikan stood for a long time, and finally spoke up: "Lord Wang, what should I do about the current situation?" Continue to attack, I am afraid that the losses will increase, but the city still cannot be defeated. ”
The fortress that the Wei army saw was indeed very evil, and Nikan had already retreated.
Duoduo was silent for a while, as if he hadn't listened to him, and everyone waited for a long time before he wiped his face with his hand, "The battle has come to this point, and my Qing army has already paid a huge sacrifice, and we must not give up halfway." If you give up now, it will be harder to fight later. The lonely king decided to keep fighting! ”
Nikan felt a pang in his heart, now that his morale is broken, he can't see any hope at all, and it is impossible for the green battalion soldiers to continue to send them to death, so how can they continue to fight?
"Lord Wang, with the current strength, I'm afraid it will be difficult to continue!" Nikan said euphemistically.
Duoduo waved his hand, "You don't have to worry about this, there are still people on the British king's side, and you can continue to draw some troops over." ”
As soon as Duoduo finished speaking, the curtain was suddenly raised, and Wakda walked in, looking gloomy and said, "Lord Wang, Liu Shun of Shangqiu has broken through!" ”
"What?" Duoduo was shocked when he heard this, "How can Liu Shun break out of the encirclement with that little strength?" ”
Wakda said: "The military information from Tunqi says that there is an elite Wei army, and Liu Shunli should cooperate with the outside to fight out of the encirclement. ”
"Elite Wei Army?" Duoduo's face was distorted, and he was actually put on the table again, which really hurt his self-esteem, why did this king always fail to grasp the thoughts of the high barbarian.
In an instant, Duoduo only felt that Gao Yihuan was so wise and close to the demon that he was about to be mad!
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the tent, and several rockets dragged tail flames into the Qing army camp, igniting several tents, causing the Qing army to panic~
