Chapter 167: Results
After Lu Xun heard the sound of the west, he immediately ordered the 8,000 left-behind foot soldiers in his headquarters and marched all the way to the west.
Walking out of the five-mile road, he encountered Ding Fengbu and more than 1,000 barbarians entangled, so he marched into a noisy and broke the enemy with one blow.
Running out of the three-mile road again, I saw Wu Hou Sun Quan lost his soul and looked eastward, looking at his side, only less than a hundred horses followed.
Lu Xun hurriedly welcomed him into the formation, and after comforting him for a while, he immediately sent Ding Feng to escort him back to the camp.
He ordered the army to move forward again, and wanted to see if he could meet the remnants of the army.
When he arrived, he found that the Wu army lineup had already been dispersed.
The fast ones are crying wolves and running away; Those who have a slower foot will either jump into the river to survive, or kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, which can be described as a defeat.
On the other hand, the Shu army, either busy clearing out the remnants of the enemy, or rushing to capture the enemy soldiers, is also a mess.
Seeing this, Lu Xun ordered the soldiers to form a formation 300 paces behind the formation, erected the banner of the word "Wu", and prepared to collect the rout.
Sure enough, the Wu army, which was able to escape from the pursuit of the Han army, was like a headless fly, and when he saw his own bright banner and solemn military formation from a distance, he subconsciously ran in that direction.
Therefore, in just a moment, he gathered thousands of remnants of the army for Lu Xun.
All this is entering the eyes of Jiang Wei, who is not far away.
At this time, he was leading the soldiers of his headquarters to drive away the remnants of the enemy, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
It is true that the Wu army was defeated, but the Han army was busy consolidating the results of the battle, and the formation was in chaos early-
After all, the Han army has few people, and with more than 20,000 people chasing and killing the enemy army twice as many as its own number, can this not be chaotic?
In a hurry, a strong resistance could no longer be organized.
If this newly joined Wu army is allowed to stand firm and take advantage of the situation to fight a wave, it is really difficult to say who will win and who will lose.
Rather than dispersing the rout of Eastern Wu, it is imperative to force this new Wu army back first.
Thinking of this, Jiang Wei did not hesitate to raise his gun in the air again.
Han Qi has a practice, and the next round is already familiar with the road, urging each other, slowly moving closer to the direction of the main general.
In just a few hundred breaths, nearly five hundred horsemen gathered beside Jiang Wei.
He gave an order and led the cavalry to take Lu Xun's army directly.
Lu Xun was in a tight formation, and there were many people, Jiang Wei did not dare to attack head-on, and the two sides were separated by nearly 100 steps, facing each other from afar.
He held his spear aloft, and as the minutes passed, the riders around him gathered more and more.
Seeing that there was nothing to be done, Lu Xun had to sigh secretly and order to retreat.
This retreat, Jiang Wei was in his arms.
The army marched and retreated, how could there be a formation that was not chaotic? As long as they follow closely, once the enemy's formation shows a flaw, what awaits them will be a fatal blow to the Han cavalry.
Chasing all the way, it was expected that this Wu army was well-trained, and the formation of the front army remained unchanged, covering the rear army and the retreat of the gathered rout; After the rear army withdrew fifty paces, it suddenly turned around and formed a formation to cover the retreat of the front army.
As a result, the Wu army alternately deployed formations and retreated, calmly and orderly.
Jiang Wei led the cavalry to follow the Erli Road, but he couldn't find a flaw.
He looked at the calm man in the formation who kept giving orders, and a glimmer of realization was born in his heart.
As Lu Xun's army slowly withdrew from the battlefield, Jiang Wei immediately collected his troops and rushed back to the battlefield, and there were still a large number of remnants of the enemy in the field that needed cavalry to disperse and capture.
In order to prevent Lu Xun's comeback, he brought more than a dozen people with him and personally climbed the command platform of the Wu army's main formation to lookout.
The Wu army's high platform is eight feet higher than the flat ground, and the view from the top is unobstructed, and the southeast view is unobstructed, which is just used for surveillance.
As soon as Jiang Weifu took the stage, a sword about four feet long lined up on the stage came into view.
He bent down and copied it into his hand, and with a little force, the sword came out of its sheath, but he saw that the sword was as smooth as a rainbow, and there was no trace of impurities; Swinging it quickly, there was not the slightest sound of cracking the sky.
Jiang Wei was overjoyed at the moment, not to mention whether this sword was as sharp as clay, just by virtue of the silence when it was wielded, it could be concluded that this was a peerless sword that was unique in thousands of miles.
Turning his wrist and looking again, he saw that the bottom of the sword body was engraved with a small character carved with a bird and insect seal, and the inscription said: Baihong.

In this battle, from early morning to sunset in the afternoon, the battlefield was full of severed limbs and wreckage of soldiers on both sides, and the ground had long been stained with blood and turned a dark red.
The oblique glow shines in the west, and the remnant sun is like blood, lining this place like purgatory on earth, which is particularly desolate.
In the battle, the 60,000 troops of the Wu army, in addition to the thousands of Chinese troops who were picked up by Lu Xun, more than 10,000 were killed on the spot; The total number of those who were lightly wounded and did not have time to escape was captured 20,000; Countless others have gone missing due to trampling, throwing into rivers, and entering forests.
Wu generals Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Xian Yudan, and Liu A were killed on the spot; Tai Shixiang, Zhou Xun, and Sun Huan were captured and captured; Han Dang, Xu Sheng, Song Qian, and Li Yi disappeared into the chaos.
Wu Hou Sun Quan, under the escort of Zhu Ran, finally led his troops to Lu Xun to receive him, escaped with his life, and finally slowly retreated into the camp of Yaoting.
It's a complete failure!
On the other hand, the Han army also suffered a lot of casualties, with thousands killed on the spot; Nearly half of the people were slightly or severely injured; The generals Chen Shi, Fu Wei, Zhang Nan, and Wang Ping, who were in the front line of command, were all injured.
According to the experience of the past, the generals were able to receive timely treatment, but the wounded pawns may not be, so there will be a larger death after the war.
In the end, the temporary ambulance battalion played a great role. Xiang Pet led 300 ambulance soldiers day and night, running far and near, and the wounded soldiers were finally able to receive timely treatment.
Compared with the battle losses, the Han army's capture in this battle can be described as quite large.
In addition to capturing several generals and nearly 20,000 soldiers of the Wu army, countless ordnance armor was also captured, and there were as many as 5,000 sets of high-quality two-grade armor alone, and it took two full days and nights to clean the battlefield.
But the most surprising thing was the remnant of the war horse ridden by Wu Jun's tiger guard. These are all good horses from Liaodong, and Sun Quan has raised them with a lot of money, and each of them is fat and strong.
According to the post-war inventory, of the 3,000 horses brought by the Wu army, hundreds were seriously injured and died, nearly 1,000 escaped because they were too late to be caught, and finally a total of 1,200 were lightly injured and intact.
Liu Bei waved his hand and put five hundred of them under the command of Yu Linwei. The elite troops such as Yu Lin Wei, Shen Feng, and Lin Hang were finally able to achieve one person and two horses, and their combat power and mobility increased sharply.
The morale of the Han army was like a rainbow, and they pursued the victory, surrounding the Wu army's Yiting camp on the one hand, and sending cavalry to sweep the nearby Jiangjin crossing post to block the reinforcements in the direction of Jiangling.

Sun Quan was sitting in the main tent of the Yaoting military camp at the moment, and he was in shock.
He couldn't figure it out, obviously he had an army of 60,000, and Liu Bei only had 30,000, and there was no big problem with command, so how could he say that he was defeated if he was defeated?
When he thought of the annihilation of the whole army in this battle and the destruction of ten years of hard work, he only felt that he wanted to cry without tears, and his heart was bleeding.
Guan Yu's murderous and terrifying appearance is still vivid, and Sun Quan has never seen such a sharp look-
If eyes could kill, he would have died more than twice just now.
He also didn't believe that Liu Bei and Guan Yu would let him go at this pass, after all, the hatred of betraying the alliance and the hatred of seizing the land, how could he easily give up.
Sun Quan was exhausted, even if the situation in Xiaoyaojin was extremely critical back then, he was not as desperate as he is today.
Just when his thoughts were confused, Lu Xun, who had returned, opened the curtain and entered the account to meet him.
