"I have checked, and there are two thousand three hundred men who have fled from the camp in front tonight, half of whom have been wounded; After that, the soldiers who went to meet in front of them suffered little losses, and only more than 500 people did not return. "Soon after, the specific casualties were summed up.

After reading it, the generals' faces were a little ugly.

There were 3,000 soldiers lost alone, and more than 1,000 wounded, so many losses were worth the losses of a large-scale decisive battle.

But the loss of the soldiers is secondary, and after a big defeat tonight, the impact on both sides is even more important.

Because before that, the Liang army was defeated in successive battles, and the camps were captured by the Wu army one after another, and morale was low; On the Wu side, it was just the opposite, winning consecutive battles and morale.

But after tonight's defeat, Wu Jun Ruhong's offensive suffered a blow, and the momentum was obviously not as good as before; The Liang army regained its foothold through a victory, and the morale of the soldiers of all departments was also high, and it was no longer the previous situation of being passively beaten.

"One hundred secrets, one hundred secrets! If you lose today, you will take the main responsibility! After a moment of silence, Wang Maozhang sighed.

The generals hurriedly persuaded: "Why did the general say this? Tonight's defeat didn't come to my mind, so the responsibility for the defeat does not lie with the generals, but for the sake of it, we are all responsible. ”

Guo Chongtao even said: "If the general is responsible, he joined the army in the lower body, but he didn't think of this loophole, this is the primary responsibility that needs to be borne!" If the king is to blame, he will take the initiative to bear it! ”

Wang Maozhang smiled bitterly: "That's it, don't talk about this for the time being, if the king is to blame, it will be a matter for the future; Let's discuss it now, what to do next! ”

The generals were silent, apparently not having thought about it yet.

After tonight's battle, the morale of the enemy army was greatly boosted, and it was already difficult to defeat the enemy army through continuous onslaught as before.

What's more, the previous onslaught was actually the desperate gritting of teeth by the soldiers of all departments, in fact, the soldiers were already exhausted, otherwise they would not have let the enemy attack easily through the tunnel.

After all, the camps of the Liang army were built in places that were relatively easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Liang army was in a defensive position, so if the Wu army wanted to break through it, it would have to invest more troops and pay more costs.

It is precisely because the soldiers of various departments have launched strong attacks one after another, and now they have some strong crossbows, if they can continue to win, it is good, with the support of victory, the soldiers will exert great enthusiasm, no matter how hard and tired they can endure; But now that they have been defeated, it will be difficult to make them like before.

So after hesitating for a moment, Chai Zaiyong first said: "General, I feel that at this time, I should rest for two days first, the soldiers of all departments have been fighting for days, and almost every battle is a strong attack, and the soldiers must be very tired at this time, so I feel that I should rest first." ”

Wang Maozhang nodded, and then looked at the other generals.

Zhu Qianyou said in a deep voice: "The last general agrees with General Chai's opinion, since the opportunity to defeat the Liang army in one fell swoop has been lost, then at this time, we should first stabilize and let the soldiers recover, and then try to defeat the enemy army!" ”

Guo Chongtao also agrees with this opinion.

Seeing this, Wang Maozhang nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then the departments will rest for two days, and we will make further plans after two days!" ”

Seeing that none of the generals had any other opinions, he then said, "Okay, it's not too early tonight, so let's all go back." If there's anything to do, I'll talk about it early tomorrow morning! ”

"By the way, don't let your guard down tonight, who knows that Kou Yanqing won't come back tonight?" Wang Maozhang was about to send the generals away, but in the end he remembered something, so he reminded him again.

The generals said yes awe-inspiringly, and then they said goodbye and left.

That night, the Liang army did not come to sneak attack, but remained vigilant in the camp.

Kou Yanqing felt that although the Wu army suffered a defeat, the strength of the Wu army was still above the Liang army, so it could not be taken lightly.

At the same time, they managed to win the battle through the tunnels tonight, but who can guarantee that the enemy army will not launch a counterattack tonight and come to sneak attack again?

Therefore, Kou Yanqing not only did not celebrate in the camp, but instead ordered all departments to be vigilant.

Of course, in any case, the Liang army achieved a big victory today, interrupting the momentum of the Wu army's winning streak, and greatly boosting the morale of the Liang army's generals and sweeping away the previous decline.

What's more, at this time, the rabble that had been cobbled together from all over the country had not cared about Kou Yanqing as the commander before, but after tonight's big victory, Kou Yanqing had already been recognized by the generals.

For the first time, the generals who had temporarily gathered from all over the country felt that they had the possibility of defeating the Wu army, and for the first time, they completely regarded themselves as Kou Yanqing's subordinates.

With this kind of cohesion and morale, the Liang army gradually became a whole, rather than the previous "rabble".

Of course, although the recognition of the generals of various departments allowed Kou Yanqing to better command the whole army, it did not mean that he could sit back and relax.

Until now, the Liang army has only fought a victory, while the enemy army has won one victory after another; The victory of the Liang army tonight is just to allow them to stand firm and not be completely defeated by the Wu army in one fell swoop.

If the Shu army could not come to support quickly, or Liu Jun could not arrive in time, the situation of the Liang army would still not be fundamentally improved.

Sticking to and waiting for help is still the strategy that Liang Jun should implement at the moment.

……

That night, the two armies were at peace, and neither sent any more troops to raid each other.

Early the next morning, when the sun was rising, a piece of news reached the camps of the two armies almost simultaneously, but the impact was diametrically opposite.

In the camp of the Wu army, all the generals gathered together, but everyone's faces were even more gloomy than last night.

The Shu army is coming!

On the Xiazhou side, although the Wu army relied on geographical advantages at first to block the Shu army, the situation changed after Wang Zongshou accepted Zhang Wu's advice and turned to the north.

Although the Wu army still tried to block the Shu army, Zhang Wu led a large group of troops, guided by the locals, took a small road and detoured, and suddenly appeared behind the Wu army.

If it weren't for the timely discovery of the Wu army, I was afraid that there would be a danger of being surrounded by enemy troops.

Under such circumstances, Qin Pei immediately ordered a retreat to ensure the safety of the rear.

Although the main force of the Shu army then pursued, it was blocked by Lü Shizhou's troops and finally failed to encircle the Wu army.

After this battle, although the Shu army failed to take advantage of much, they successfully broke through the Wu army's reward and entered a relatively flat area.

When they got there, it would be more difficult for the Wu army to continue to block the Shu army.

What's more, the Wu army's sailors were still able to land and fight ashore before, but after arriving inland, if these sailors continued to land and fight, it would be a bit of a loss.

After all, they are better at water warfare, at most fighting the enemy on the banks of the river, and if they are transferred to engage the enemy on a large scale inland, this is obviously not what they are good at.

Of course, although the flat terrain caused inconvenience for the Wu army to contain the Shu army, this did not mean that the Shu army could immediately come to join the Liang army.

According to the message sent by Qin Pei, they would try to delay the enemy army for ten days, and after ten days, regardless of whether Wang Maozhang defeated the Liang army or not, he would give up the entanglement with the Shu army and begin to retreat to Jiangling.

In the face of such a situation, the mood of Wang Maozhang and others can be imagined.

If it weren't for the defeat last night, then they were confident that they would have defeated Kou Yanqing within ten days; Or, if Qin Pei could delay a little longer, then they would also be confident that they would defeat the Liang army.

But in the current situation, it will be somewhat difficult to defeat the Liang army in ten days.

The generals were all sad and didn't know how to respond.

"General, why don't you report the current situation to the king and see what the king says?" Someone suggested.

Wang Maozhang was quite moved when he heard this, now they need to rest for two days anyway, and within two days, the Wu army will not fight with the Liang army.

And from here to Gangneung, two days can almost send a messenger to go back and forth, after all, if the messenger gallops on a fast horse, the speed is faster than the marching speed of an army, I don't know how many times, two days is enough time to run back and forth.

Guo Chongtao shook his head and said: "General, I think that since the king has handed over the war here to the general, then he shouldn't ask." What's more, after all, the king is in Gangneung, far away from the battlefield, and he doesn't know anything about the situation on the battlefield, even if the general can't make up his mind, he can't count on the king! ”

Wang Maozhang nodded in agreement after hearing this: "What Guo Senjun said is very true, and the general almost thought wrong just now. The king was already sick, and he was in Jiangling, and he wanted to contain Gao Jichang's army, which was already very tiring, how could the general let the king worry about the general's affairs again? ”

After pondering for a moment, he solemnly decided: "After resting for two days, our army will launch another strong attack on the enemy camp, and if we cannot make a breakthrough within eight days, we will withdraw our troops back to Gangneung at that time!" ”

Qin Pei will withdraw his troops after ten days, and after Qin Pei withdraws his troops, it will only take two days at most for the Shu army to come and join the Liang army, and then it will not be the Wu army that will destroy the Liang army, but the exhausted Wu army may be attacked by the Liang and Shu coalition forces, and it is not known whether they can evacuate safely.

Therefore, Wang Maozhang only stormed for eight days, leaving two more days to prevent accidents.

At this time, Guo Chongtao stood up and said solemnly: "General, I suddenly thought of a plan, maybe I can defeat the Liang army in one fell swoop!" ”

"What ploy? Please also ask Guo to join the army and say it quickly! Wang Maozhang and the others looked shocked and hurriedly asked.
