The first offensive of the counterinsurgency army was stopped. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The city of Shangbang has been occupied by the official army. Liang Xing was hacked to death by the angry officers and soldiers who broke through the city and chopped him into pulp.

Not many Qiang people in the city were captured, plus the 20,000 Qiang people sent outside the city and Tianshui, only more than 3,000 people were captured.

When defeated, the Qiang people will choose to flee at the first time. They knew that the Han Chinese would never be soft on foreigners who dared to rob them. It's just that they didn't expect retribution to come so early.

Even if some Qiang people surrendered or were unfortunately captured, they would spare no effort to escape when they had the opportunity to escape.

The Qiang ran away, but their horses didn't.

Cao De's biggest gain this time was the capture of nearly 10,000 high-quality war horses.

Ma Teng's war horses for Cao De were still slightly inferior to those of these Qiang people's war horses.

Cao De looked at the patches of war horses and was happy, but when he saw the mountains of corpses and the wounded soldiers who were wailing bitterly, Cao De couldn't laugh anymore.

The fruits of war are certainly rich. But the price Cao De paid was not small.

10,000 rat rides lost nearly 4,000 people! The 6,000 Heavy Hammer Auxiliary Battalion also lost more than 400 men.

Compared with Cao De, Zhu Jun's losses were even worse.

Of the 10,000 infantry, only 4,000 remained. Of the 6,000 besieging soldiers, less than 2,000 walked off the walls alive. Although the losses of Zhu Jun's cavalry were much smaller than those of the infantry, they were also reduced by nearly half. There are only more than 5,000 left.

But they killed more enemies. In this battle, a total of 40,000 cavalry of the Qiang people appeared, and more than 15,000 cavalry fell under the swords of the officer. In addition to the more than 3,000 people who were captured, the rest of the more than 20,000 horsemen ran away.

It's not that Cao De and Zhu Jun don't want to chase, it's that the fighters' physical strength is not enough to pursue anymore.

By the time the official army had completely occupied Shangbang City, it was already dark. Many soldiers who had survived a day of fighting could barely support their tired bodies.

Cao De had no choice but to let the heavy hammer battalion, which had relatively little consumption, serve as a guard and guard prisoners. The rest of the soldiers, having filled their bellies, fell to the ground and fell asleep.

There was still blood on their bodies, and they still had weapons in their arms that weren't sharp.

Zhu Jun and Cao De didn't dare to sleep and rest in the first half of the night. First, they were afraid that the Qiang cavalry would come back with a rifle. If they really kill again, there really won't be many of the 20,000 surviving officers and soldiers in the city who will live to see the sun tomorrow. The two of them were stabbed by those bright red numbers and had no sleep.

Cao De got up, rubbed his numb legs, and said to Zhu Jun, "General, you better rest." After a day of fighting, you must be exhausted. Rest early, tomorrow I need you to preside over military affairs. Tonight there will be a last watchman. Let's rest again at the end of tomorrow. ”

Zhu Jun looked at Cao De for a while, and Cao De nodded to Zhu Jun. The contact between the two made Zhu Jun trust Cao De very much. Zhu Jun received the red and bewitching battle report in his arms, and got up to go to the back hall.

Cao De stopped Zhu Jun, and without saying a word, took out the bamboo slip from Zhu Jun's arms. and handed Zhu Jun a wine bag. "General, don't look at it if you feel uncomfortable. Drinking the bar, one is to drown out the sorrows, and the other is to get drunk and sleep well. Tomorrow the general is still needed. ”

Zhu Jun was stunned, took Cao De's wine bag tremblingly, and said hoarsely: "Thank you Anbang." ”

Cao De looked at Zhu Jun's back, since Cao De met Zhu Jun, he had never seen Zhu Jun so down.

Cao De sighed, turned and walked outside.

As soon as Cao De left the room, Cao De's personal guards immediately followed, and Cao De said to them: "It's been a tiring day, let's go and rest." ”

"General, no, the city seems to be calm, but it may not be calm. Let the general go out alone, I can't sleep even if I wait, let's follow the general. ”

"yes, let's follow the general."

……

Cao De looked at these lovely and loyal guards, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little. "Alright then, let's go for a walk around the city."

At present, the only city guarded by the Hammer Battalion is one gate and one corner of the entire city of Shangbang. This is also to prevent the lack of manpower from being attacked by possible ambushes in the city.

Cao De walked out of the courtyard where he had temporarily settled, and there were sleeping soldiers lying on their backs outside. Luckily, it's August, and the temperature is high. If they were sick again because they slept on the ground, then a few of these soldiers who had just escaped death would survive the physical war.

You know, the cold of today is similar to the wind chill of that time, and it is not without precedent for people to die because of wind cold. For these soldiers, who are already exhausted, in case of repeated colds, it is estimated that there will be no other complications, and then it will be bad.

Cao De looked at the soldiers sleeping in his clothes, and couldn't help but think of the weather, and when he thought of the weather, Cao De thought of disposing of the corpse quickly.

Corpse!

A terrifying word popped up in Cao De's heart!

When Cao De thought of that word, his whole body actually began to tremble. Just as he was about to turn around to look for Zhu Jun, Cao De remembered Zhu Jun's back just now. Cao De had to suppress the fear in his heart.

One night, just one night, one more night should be no problem.

Cao De pressed the fear in his heart, walked among the sleeping soldiers, and came to the city.

Cao De stopped the soldiers of the Heavy Hammer Battalion who wanted to salute, sat on the head of the city, and looked in the direction of Tianshui City.

On the second day, before Cao De could tell Zhu Jun about his worries, Cao De received a shocking news.

This news is that the more than 2,000 officers and troops who crossed the river by the Weishui River and fought were all wiped out.

The people were shocked not by the more than 2,000 people who died in battle, but by the fact that the more than 2,000 people were killed in and out of the city yesterday.

Everyone was shocked by the annihilation of the army. Everyone knows how heroic the warriors under the command of Huangfu Song are. They will never surrender, they will not back down.

Cao De They can imagine the heroism of these warriors before their death, and the rampant of the enemy after their death.

Cao De was shocked, and began to scold Ma Teng angrily in his heart. What are you going to do, are you really going to push yourself to a dead end? Do we really want to fight each other?

Ma Teng, who was angrily scolded by Cao De, was also sighing at this moment.

Ma Teng was also injured in this battle, but his life was worry-free.

While Ma Teng sighed, he was also thinking about his future. After Ma Teng received Cao De's letter, he began to confuse Han Sui. But unintentionally, Ma Teng has already borne a lot of black cauldrons.

Originally, this time Ma Teng only wanted the officers and soldiers to retreat in the face of difficulties, so there was a magnificent scene of ten thousand arrows firing at once. But who thought that the officers and soldiers miraculously escaped the rain of arrows and reached the shore, and then Ma Teng didn't think about killing them all. But when Ma Dong rescued his injured self, Ma Teng came to the back. By the time Ma Teng reacted, more than 2,000 officers and soldiers had already turned into corpses.

In desperation, Ma Teng ordered these warriors to be buried. After that, Ma Teng began to consider Cao De's suggestion again. Ma Teng finally had a heart, the eldest husband was born in the world, since he did it, he did it. It's a big deal to do the real drama, even if Lao Tzu is against this court.

Afterwards, Ma Teng dismissed the guards and wrote down a letter. Later, Ma Teng called Cao De's people who stayed here, and Ma Teng handed him the letter.

The man took the bamboo slip without reacting, turned and left. Not a word was spoken, not a single superfluous movement. (To be continued.) )
