In the evening, the night fell on the earth, and there was silence in the camp of the Qin army commander outside Yong'an City, and a group of lieutenant generals and colonels sat in the tent, looking at the main general Wang Ben who was sinking like water on the main throne and was silent.

Today's battle was too fierce, and the bravery of the soldiers of the Western Army of the Chinese Army and the huge casualties it brought to the soldiers of the Qin Army left an indelible impression on everyone, especially some of the generals who had complained about Wang Ben's defeat at the hands of Sima Yu also put away the contempt in their hearts.

In the first battle of the day, the Western Army and the Qin Army fought fiercely outside Yong'an City for nearly three hours without a victory, and finally the two sides had to withdraw their troops and quit the battle at dusk.

However, judging from the situation on the battlefield, the corpses of the soldiers of the Qin army were everywhere, and the casualties were significantly higher than those of the Western army.

I have to admit that the Hua army is indeed the first fierce enemy that the Qin army has encountered after coming to this world, and even the tribes that have always been entrenched outside the two mansions of Yongliang have never been able to achieve such a victory on the battlefield with weak forces.

"Zhong Ion, have the casualties on the battlefield been counted today?"

On the main seat, Wang Ben's gaze slowly swept over the generals in the tent, and the solemn and declining look on the faces of the generals made Wang Ben slightly startled, and asked quietly towards Zhong Ion on the side.

This former 500 lord of the Qin army was one of the few generals who still followed Wang Ben after the Battle of Changzhou, and is now a general in the army.

"Major General, according to the statistics of the book, our army suffered a total of more than 31,000 casualties in the First World War, including more than 25,000 officers, more than 6,000 knights, 43 generals and colonels above 500 lords, and countless casualties among officers below 100 generals. Our army killed more than 18,000 officers and men of the Chinese Army, including 9 officers above the rank of Qu Chang."

Zhong Ion's hands holding the battle report trembled slightly, and he looked up at Wang Ben, who was expressionless, and reported loudly.

In the head-to-head battle, the battle loss was close to one to two, and it was the first time that Zhong Ion had encountered such a situation in the Qin army, and Wang Ben, the chief general of the Qin army, could imagine his mood.

"With such a fiasco, what kind of face do we have to go back to see my parents at home! Although the Hua army had an advantage in this battle, it also lost more than 18,000 people, and more than half of its heavy cavalry were damaged, and the remaining Chinese army in Yong'an City that could fight was less than 35,000 people, and my 70,000 old Qin people couldn't help this half of the enemy! ”

Feeling the gloomy atmosphere in the camp, Wang Ben pulled out his long sword, stood up suddenly, waved the long sword in his hand and cut off the corner of the wooden table in front of him.

"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together; Blood will not be shed, and there will be no truce! ”

"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together; Blood will not be shed, and there will be no truce! ”

"Old Qin, go to the national disaster together; Blood will not be shed, and there will be no truce! ”

Wang Ben's words aroused the enthusiasm of the generals in the camp, and these Qin generals from the old Qin people stood up one by one and shouted in unison.

It was with this enthusiasm that the old Qin people rose step by step from the valley and ravine.

"Good! They will return to the camp to rest and fight again tomorrow! ”

Wang Ben's face turned red when he heard this, and he pointed at his long sword and ordered.

"Whoa!"

A group of generals of the Qin army strutted away one after another, striding away with their heads held high.

The Heart of the Army is available!

Looking at the departing soldiers, Wang Ben's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, but he soon passed away quietly, and then walked out of the camp and turned his head to look at Yong'an City in the south, silent.

In the First World War, although the Chinese army suffered heavy losses to the Qin army, it also suffered heavy losses, leaving less than 32,000 people to drive.

In this case, I am afraid that even women and men like Qin Liangyu will not dare to fight outside the city again, which also means that in the next battle, the Qin army will face a possible protracted siege war, and in front of the western army with many crossbowmen in the army, the casualties of the Qin army will inevitably be very large, which Wang Ben does not want to see.

Or because there are too many cavalry in the Chinese army, so that the coalition forces do not dare to go too deep, otherwise they would not have to break their heads under these three fortified cities.

In the next 10 days, the entire Yong'an, Huangshi, and Xianshi fronts were completely plunged into bitter battles, and the Chinese troops in the three cities were all defending the city, which brought great damage to the three-way coalition army.

In particular, the battle in the middle was the most intense, and the slave army camp under the command of Hauge suffered the heaviest losses, as many as 70,000 slave soldiers were buried under the city of Huangshi, but it also consumed tens of thousands of Chinese troops defending the city, and the Chinese army guard battalion was almost lost.

The fierce fighting on the three roads firmly dragged hundreds of thousands of Qin-Qing allied troops out of the three cities, and the fierce fighting for days made the soldiers on both sides have suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers of each battalion are extremely tired.

Huilong Town, located in the south of Huangshi County, is about 30 miles away from Huangshi City, Huilong Town has an open area, the traffic extends in all directions, it is the traffic artery leading to the central part of Gongzhou, since the war between the Chinese army and the Qin-Qing coalition army, it has become a logistics transit station for the army of the three cities.

At this time, it was already the middle of the day, and the entire Huilong Town was still in flames, illuminating the entire heavenly domain, and in the open space outside the gate of Huilong Town under the illumination of the firelight, the armor on the 3,000 cavalry battalion soldiers was glowing with a faint light.

In front of the ironclad array, Sima Yu, who was already the emperor of Huaguo, was standing quietly on his horse, looking into the distance.

"Boom~"

In the distant darkness, there was a dense rumbling of horses' hooves in the air, which became more and more intense as time passed, and the earth trembled violently, and from a distance, a sea of fire formed by the convergence of countless firelights illuminated the entire sky, slowly coming in the direction of Huilong Town.

"It's here!"

Looking at the slowly approaching sea of fire, Sima Yu's face showed joy, and he muttered in the cover of the sound of horses' hooves.

"Pedal Pedal ~"

The sound of horses' hooves continued to knock on the earth like falling gravel, and finally converged into a huge thunderclap, which trembled the horses under the crotches of the soldiers of the cavalry battalion and paced restlessly and low.

As the distance continued to approach, in the light of the fire, countless grassland cavalry wearing felt hats and green leather armor appeared in front of Sima Yu and them, and the continuous cavalry clusters occupied the entire field of vision, endlessly.

"Phew~"

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Several grassland cavalry generals who approached to lead the soldiers stopped their horses, then turned over and dismounted and bowed respectfully to Sima Yu, while the countless cavalry who followed them all quietly stopped.

"Haha, okay, you really live up to my trust"

Looking at Che Liji, Hu Chuquan, and Murong Ke who were kneeling on the ground, Sima Yu hurriedly supported his right hand and said freely.

The endless sea of cavalry in front of him was the 400,000 grassland cavalry who came to support by Sima Yu's order.

When he led an army of 150,000 Chinese to Gongzhou, countless steppe tribes settled in the northwest of Yongzhou had already marched north under the pretext of transferring population to fill Luzhou.

The 400,000 grassland cavalry is composed of three tribes: Xianbei, Qiang and Xiongnu, including 100,000 Xianbei cavalry, 200,000 Qiang cavalry and 200,000 Xiongnu cavalry.

The 100,000 Xianbei cavalry were led by Murong Ke, a former Yan general who had just joined Sima Yu, and the 200,000 Qiang cavalry and 100,000 Xiongnu cavalry were led by Cheriji and Hu Chuquan, who were drawn from the Northern Army and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion respectively.

Such a huge cavalry, taking advantage of the transfer of the tribe, marched day and night, and finally completed the assembly in Huilong Town after nearly a month.

"Departure"

Looking at the crowded grassland cavalry in front of him, Sima Yu was full of pride in his chest, and he ordered with a wave of one hand.

400,000 steppe cavalry, this will be a powerful force that will determine the outcome of the entire battle of Gongzhou.
