In fact, the battle had already shown signs of an end, and it was only because of some factor that these foreign feudal armies held out for a while.

Therefore, when this relatively elite cavalry of the feudal army was lured into the killing range and completely defeated at the cost of thousands of casualties, the Humaer and the rest of the feudal army on the periphery seemed to gradually lose some confidence and will to continue fighting.

Even without their own greetings and orders, they began to leave the contact of the battlefield in groups, and even did not hesitate to leave their backs to our troops in a hurry, and after leaving behind the corpses that had been shot down by the platoon all the way, they finally got rid of the range and threat of the strike, but they were disturbed by the iron balls that came from afar, and they scattered and avoided again.

Eventually, they reunited at a greater distance, and one after another, retreating to the distance away from the city. At this time, the oxtail battle banner captured from the armor of the feudal army was brought to me for viewing.

Of course, our army did not pursue more, on the one hand, the other side was mostly light cavalry, and under the full escape, the pursuit may not be possible; On the other hand, after all, our target is still this Xuzhou City, and we need enough mobility to keep the perimeter on guard and containment. Then try to use the momentum of the turtle in the urn to completely annihilate the Humaer and the vassal army who are still trapped in the city in disguise.

The rest of the matter is much simpler and more tedious, we only need to follow a few broken gaps, and defeat the Humar and the vassal army that have managed to rush out, or drive them back one by one.

Compared with the past, it can still be called a tricky field warfare, and the street battles and clearances carried out in the city fortress are undoubtedly the daily things that we, the armed war groups, are better at and good at.

In these relatively cramped and complex terrains, whether the opponent is good at galloping on horseback or the usual hunting skills, they are all severely restricted and fall behind.

In addition, the foreign aid was extinct, and the city was scattered to fight separately because of the scramble for the first time, and under the internal and external difficulties, it did not cause much hindrance to us at all, so we recaptured the key points in various parts of the city, and the rest was slowly cleared.

It's just that the battalion officers led by the Wind Roll Banner still have a bit of a fly in the ointment, mainly for the defeat outside the city, and finally a small casualty exchange ratio of the expulsion battle was fought without full success.

In the fierce battle, the various horses and vassal armies, including beheadings and prisoners, were left at least tens of thousands of people, and more than 1,000 horses were captured on relatively intact mounts alone.

The number of casualties in front and rear of our side also reached more than 4,000 people, most of which were used to fill the gaps in the various battle formations, and the casualties caused by the defeat and scattering of various scattered regiments and friendly troops;

As the main component of the serial battle array, the auxiliary army brigades and main battle battalions, because they can strictly abide by the rules of conduct, under the impact and entanglement of the enemy, even if most of them are disrupted and scattered, the remaining part can still maintain the stability of the basic front, and there are enough manpower to replace the rear team, therefore, on the contrary, the casualty figures are not so ugly, and most of them are wounded, and the number of casualties is only a few hundred.

Of course, according to whether it is the newcomer Zhu Wu or the unfinished Duyu Marquis Zhao Long, each has some similar statements.

If our army appears and delays a little, or enters the battle later, it is estimated that most of the enemy troops outside the city will rush into the city along the breach, although the losses in the city will be greater and the cost of attack will be more, but our results and gains afterwards will be much richer, and even if we encircle them in the city and fight a beautiful battle of annihilation, even if most of the Humal are left to be buried in this city, it is not impossible.

However, how can things be so perfect? What's more, as soon as the army that is ready to move moves, it is like a chariot speeding down a steep slope, and it is no longer so easy to restrain it. Therefore, I can only smile and gently reveal it.

At least after this heavy setback, in the short term, those Humal and the foreign feudal coalition forces will not have much courage and spare strength to make a comeback. After all, it was still a harsh winter, and the weight and sharpness lost in this battle were not so easy to recover and replenish.

Even the weeds used to herd the horses are still hidden under the thick layer of snow, and there is no place to look for them. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they can only choose between eating rations for several people who consume and occupy several people, or being killed to reduce losses after losing weight.

It's just that the flag that came down from the city wall to greet us was a little surprised, and the purple flag was embroidered with five big characters of "Xingying Guardian Right".

It was actually them, although they had expected this possibility, but they couldn't help but be on the spot, with some mixed feelings, and actually rescued the old troops who had fought under my command by mistake. Although it has only been more than a month since the last separation and change, it seems that they have already experienced a lot of things with each other.

But these remnants of the horses who ran out to join the teacher did not seem to have such superfluous thoughts and, all kinds of shouting familiar names of each other, almost joyfully hugging and cheering together.

I later learned that

In fact, many of them are not lightly moved, or they think that they are determined veterans, at this moment they can't help but tears, just as the so-called commanders who directly govern them have given up, and in the end, they still rely on the old troops to help them, so they were able to survive in a desperate situation.

Although this is a by-product of some mistakes and mistakes, I have no reason or need to expose and pierce the good expectations and hopes of these soldiers who have survived the catastrophe.

Then I announced it along the water, and expressed my hope that they would return to my command.

Although it is said that for the commander, it is the most basic requirement to know the trade-offs for the commander. However, as the so-called people are not plants and trees, nor are they saints, there are always some bottom lines that have to be adhered to, or things that have to be done.

A general who refuses to give up his subordinates lightly may be an opportunity and a weakness for the enemy to exploit, but it is undoubtedly a trustworthy merit and quality for his subordinates, after all, time does not have so many perfect options and possibilities.

Although it is only done by chance, it has a temporary mental bonus effect, which cannot be achieved by any reward or reward. These old soldiers, who were covered with fatigue and scars, were like they had been beaten to the fullest, and their morale was screaming, and they wanted to rush out like this and find an enemy to hang and beat me on the spot.

At this time, the battle in the city also came to a certain end, when the oxtail banner that was hung upside down was hung in the highest conspicuous position on the head of the inner city wall, the fighting spirit and fighting spirit of the remaining enemies were also like a punctured soap bubble in the rapid annihilation.

So when I was stationed in the office of Yacheng, I saw Cui Bangbi, the new commander of the escort army, who had a complicated expression on his face and insisted on coming out to greet him with an injury, and gave him persuasive relief and comfort in public.

Everywhere in the city were already groups of Hu Mazi and the remnants of the feudal army who had laid down their weapons and come out of their hiding places to surrender. Like the most obedient flock, driven together by a small number of sergeants,

And those rebels who were entrenched in the treasury also panicked early, took the initiative to cut off hundreds of the heads of the leaders, and then abandoned their troops and knelt on both sides of the street, obediently waiting for the follow-up disposition of the "Wang Shi".

Then, many of the storage warehouses in the inner city were opened, and the wine and meat for the reward were carried out, and the baggage loaded on the carts was loaded and unloaded and lined up in one place.

Whether it is a coarse navy biscuit, or a hard marching compressed ration, or canned beans and meat substitutes, and diced jicama, together with the pickles in the jar, poured into a large pot with snow water, the city is stewed hot and full of flavor.

When the food and wine were boiling hot, they were filled with the containers that each pair of arms held up.

Whether it is the veterans of the main battle battalion, or the new soldiers of the auxiliary army, or the husbands and servants of the stragglers and baggage teams, and even the local people and defenders in the city, they are comfortable at this moment of warmth and food, and they have temporarily forgotten the estrangement and pain, and the sad and miserable conditions in the outside world.

In the laughter and tears of the rest of the post-war life, all kinds of past memories and sighs have also remained in the impression of many people for a long time with this open-bellied battlefield feast.
