Chapter 545: Reaction

This escape and chase ended one after another at sunset.

The 800,000 allied troops, the rout, the fleeing, the dead, the surrendered, only a few soldiers really fled back to their formation, or held the pass.

Originally, it was possible to directly recover more cities in one go, and wipe out those coalition soldiers who fled to the cities.

However, after seeing the power of the red-coated cannons, all the senior commanders and generals believed that the Xuanwu army had enough ability to easily break through those cities, and in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, it was not appropriate to attack the cities today.

So, at ten o'clock in the evening, Zhu Xi decisively ordered the troops to be collected, escorted the prisoners back to the camp, and counted the results.

The next day, the results of the battle were counted, and this time more than 200,000 enemies were directly annihilated, 260,000 enemy soldiers and soldiers were captured, and countless baggage, grain and grass were captured.

By the way, even the commander of Ruan Guo, the general Ruan Funing, was captured alive.

Amazing results!

When Zhu Xi saw the battle report, his hands were trembling.

It's unprecedented!

It is not that the number of people who annihilated the enemy at one time is the largest, but compared with the number of troops invested and the soldiers who died in battle, the results of the battle are simply so good that they are explosive.

How much did the Xuanwu Legion lose?

Less than 5,000!

And most of these nearly 5,000 people died in the pursuit of the enemy army.

Of the 800,000 allied troops, more than 200,000 were killed and 260,000 were captured.

The Xuanwu army was 250,000 and 5,000 were killed.

The proportion of this is unbelievable!

If this war report is shown to people who do not know the beginning and end of the war, then it will only be regarded as a joke and will never be believed, because it does not conform to the logic of a frontal war at all.

After all, the number of casualties on both sides is too great, and the Xuanwu Legion has only killed less than 5,000 people in total, perhaps the number of casualties in a charge.

Historically, only those ambushes have had such results.

Zhu Xi's mood is indescribable.

He directly asked people to prepare a battle report, which was quickly submitted to Xincangcheng and handed over to His Majesty the Emperor, and at the same time arranged a large army to prepare to recover those occupied cities.

Although, even after defeating the coalition army, the Xuanwu army is not superior in terms of numbers, but it is better to be able to unify the dispatch and use the red-clothed cannon to blast open the city gate, and then it can drive straight into the alliance and annihilate the coalition army.

Perhaps, this time should no longer be called a coalition army.

Because, the so-called Three Kingdoms Alliance is just a military alliance temporarily established after entering the Cangguo Kingdom for the purpose of dealing with the Xuanwu Legion, and the highest level is only the level of a general, not a strategic consensus reached by the three countries at the national level.

After the coalition army lost, Gongsun Zhi, as an advocate, is now wounded in bed, and he is no longer able to maintain the coalition army, and the Jin army and the Ruan army are also fighting separately, a mess, and the so-called coalition army has existed in name only.

The Red Artillery Brigade was divided into ten squads.

Ten cannons per team joined the ten units.

Ten troops, so to speak

The various thousand-strong teams of the Xuanwu Legion, with the help of red-coated artillery, were not much use at all

On October 26, the Xuanwu Army was ready to go, with the red-coated artillery as the main force, and began a counteroffensive against the armies of the three countries.

This counteroffensive is different from the previous ones, the previous days were just a few scattered reconquest of some cities, this time it is a whole area, to expel the armies of the three countries from the border.

……

Far away in the palace, Yang Mu knows the overall situation.

He was not surprised that the armies of the three countries would swarm into the land of Wangji, because this was all designed earlier, and it can be said that he ordered the layout to lure him.

However, the armies of the three countries would spontaneously form an alliance to fight against the Xuanwu Legion, which he did not expect.

But fortunately, this is the case, the formation of the Three Kingdoms Alliance Army was shot together, which invisibly cleared the resistance for the Xuanwu Legion, and saved the first action against one of the large armies, which made the subsequent war troublesome.

This can be regarded as clearing the resistance for the army.

The Xuanwu Army was able to defeat the 800,000 coalition troops at once, which Yang Mu did not expect.

I don't know what Gongsun Zhi thinks, he would actually place the coalition forces in one direction, and I don't know what he thinks, hasn't he learned a lesson from those cases in Cangguo in the past?

This is too blind confidence, right?

Regardless of what happened on the front line, after learning about some things, Yang Mu also withdrew his gaze from the battlefield.

The war is only a continuation of the political situation in the court.

In a sense, Yang Mu does not attach great importance to the results of this battle, but attaches more importance to its strategic significance, this battle has played the heroic wind of Cangguo, shocked the five countries clamoring to cut down Cangguo, and told the world that Cangguo is not easy to bully, and it is not that there are many people who can win.

On the contrary, Cangguo has the ability to destroy the Chu State and the Yun State, and then it also has the ability to destroy the remaining five countries one by one.

The most important thing is the last sentence.

Cangguo has the ability to destroy the remaining five countries!

If it is placed before this, this sentence will inevitably be a little lacking in confidence, after all, the destruction of Chu State and Yun State this time is not because of the strength of Cangguo, but for various reasons.

For example, the fall of the Chu State was because the Chu State was attacked by many countries at that time, and the Chu Emperor Xiong Minne was detained by the Cang State, and was even more subjected to the calculations of Qu Dan's traitors, and the Chu State went to extinction step by step.

Yun State, also because of the previous decisive battle with the main army of Chu State, lost too many troops, plus serious internal friction, this was taken advantage of by Cangguo, the so-called heavy cavalry annihilation of the battle, is only a factor, not decisive.

In a sense, the destruction of Chu and Yun was not really overthrown by Cangguo, but it was Cangguo who gave the final blow and took advantage of the situation to destroy it.

Just like the original State of Wu, it was not destroyed by the State of Chu, but it was really overwhelmed, and once it could not bear it, it would retreat completely, without the power to resist.

At present, Cangguo's vision must be withdrawn from the front-line battlefield, if it is just a blind war, it is a fool who will only bury his head in war.

The advantage gained in this battle must be extended to diplomatic relations!

After being the emperor for so many years and being the victor so many times, Yang Mu has already figured out the set of diplomatic relations, originally all countries sent vanguard armies, deployed large armies with all their might, and then invested more troops in Cangguo, but after this time, the Xuanwu Legion defeated the armies of the Three Kingdoms with a crushing momentum, which was equivalent to completely disrupting the rhythm of various countries.

Take Ruan Guo as an example, 500,000 troops have arrived in the land of Wangji one after another, and if they maintain their superiority, they can raise 500,000 troops and grain and grass in the country, and they can reach an army of one million.
