As night fell, the battle was finally over. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Many Praetorian Guard soldiers immediately burst into unprecedented cheers after hearing the three words of victory, and then fell to the ground and fell asleep.

It's so tired, it's so tired. Five hours, the battle lasted a full five hours. Later, after nearly an hour of delay due to the need to clear the battlefield of the still threatening enemy soldiers, the surviving Praetorian Guard soldiers finally had time to rest. As it turned out, the Janissaries had been in vain. It's not just the Praetorian Guards who are tired, but the enemy who has been fighting with the Praetorian Guards for a day is also tired. can finally raise his hand and surrender, throw down his weapon and fall asleep, who still has the heart to hurt people again.

In this battle, the losses of the Janissaries were enormous. It should be said that since the formation of the Praetorian Guard, the casualties in this battle were the largest. When they set out from Guishan City, the Praetorian Guard had a total of 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, but now there were less than 4,000 infantry and about 4,000 cavalry left. Nearly half of the total was lost. And this is only the statistics made immediately after the war, and some of the soldiers were still sleeping when they were counted. No one knows if they will have a chance to return to this battlefield after they wake up.

Correspondingly, the price paid by the eldest prince is also huge. After the red iron stream led by Pound broke through General Qu's defensive line, the eldest prince finally chose to retreat. A thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry escorted the prince south. As soon as the eldest prince fled, the remaining soldiers immediately lost their fighting spirit and chose to surrender one after another. However, just when Pound wanted to pursue, he was blocked by the diehards of hundreds of princes. By the time Pound had slaughtered them, the eldest prince had already gone away. Ma Chao was afraid that the eldest prince would have an ambush, so he didn't let Pang De continue to pursue, and cleaning up the battlefield also needed Pang De to complete. Because the rest of the centaurs are just too tired.

In another battle circle, when Ding Chong led the knights of the Flying Wolf Army to kill in front of General Lan, General Lan knew that he had no hope of breaking through, and in order to make the soldiers under his command no longer fight for himself, General Lan chose to commit suicide. In fact, this is also the best destination for General Lan.

General Lan was originally a capable general under the command of King Dawan, but later became a minion of the Great Prince, which killed thousands of former brothers today. If General Lan still had the face to live in this world, Ma Chao would definitely not let him go. just committed suicide, at least he could have a good time.

In this battle, the eldest prince fled with only 3,000 soldiers, and the remaining 12,000 soldiers were all thrown on this battlefield. Of these, less than 4,000 were captured. If the two parties are combined, there are more than 10,000 heroic souls floating here.

This loss is really invisible to Ma Chao. When he was in the Central Plains, hundreds of thousands of troops were dispatched at every turn, and tens of thousands of soldiers had to shed their blood on the battlefield in every war. But for Dawan, the sacrifice of more than 10,000 soldiers has already broken his muscles and bones. Compared with the battle in which Ding Chong captured the second prince Wan Huang, there were too many people killed in this war. If Ma Chao's capture is added, the soldiers of the eldest prince alone have already lost nearly 20,000 people in this battle. This is not counting the more than 1,000 Han iron horsemen who died in other places.

It was night, in the camp of the Praetorian Guard. The tent that was just good enough is now a little insufficient. This is because of the arrival of Ding Chong and Ma Chao. If only the Janissary infantry were to be mentioned, the battalion would have been reduced by nearly half. The one in charge of patrolling the night tonight is the Han cavalry under the command of Ma Chao. In less than an hour after the army returned to the camp, there were no more people moving around in the entire camp, except for the flying wolf riders patrolling around. However, there are two tents. One is the tent of the general of the Praetorian Guard, and the other is the tent of Ma Chao.

Although the Praetorian Guard general was also tired enough, he didn't feel a trace of sleepiness now. Because, today he has too many brothers who have died.

And in Ma Chao's tent, Ding Chong is a guest here at the moment.

"General, why? If the general had appeared immediately, the Praetorian Guard would not have killed or wounded so many people. The battle could have ended a long time ago. ”

Ding Chong knows Ma Chao's approach. But Ding Chong didn't tell anyone but himself. And the person who knew the news was a team of sentry cavalry led by Ding Chong's personal guards.

"This is the Western Regions, not the Great Han. We, the Han, have lost more than a thousand soldiers for Dawan. We can't afford to let more soldiers die here. General Ding, please don't forget, you are a Han Chinese! ”

"The general's meaning is understood. However, once the news is leaked, it will inevitably ruin the prime minister's plan! "The word Ding Chong didn't dare to say was 'chilling.'

"The big plan? Is the capital of the Western Regions Protectorate? General Ding has also entered Nanzheng Academy. Didn't General Ding know about the former protectorate of the Western Regions? How many people here always remember our big men? "Although Ma Chao is not very old, Ma Chao has always maintained a hostile attitude towards these states." General Ding. General Ben gave a word of advice. The prime minister sent you and me to lead the army here, will the prime minister let General Ben stay here all the time? Generals need to get their attitudes right. There are some things that the general should remember to think again! ”

"What does the general mean?"

"General Ben knows that General Ding's long-distance attack, coupled with a big battle, must be extremely tired. The general should hurry back and rest. Tomorrow, our army will need to take down the eldest prince in one go. Our soldiers have been out for too long! Obviously, Ma Chao didn't want to continue the topic just now. And Ding Chong could only confess knowingly and quit the tent.

However, "Come on! "General!" After Ding Chong's personal guards heard Ding Chong's voice, they immediately walked over. "Pick a few good hands and kill all the sentinels who found out the whereabouts of the general Zhengbei today!" The guards were stunned, "Obey!" ”

This must be a secret. Ding Chong believed that his guards would not say it. Then the only thing left to be reassuring is to turn into a corpse!

That night, the Praetorian Guards were able to get a good night's sleep. And not far away is the Karma Oasis. The eldest prince forced a smile on his face and then called his own guards.

"Your Highness!"

"Are General Lan and General Qu back?"

"Back to Your Highness. No! We have sent people to look on the battlefield, and we have not found two generals. The two generals are likely to ......"

"Got it. The king's army is likely to attack the Karma tomorrow. Command to kill everyone in this oasis. ”

The eldest prince knew that he was already doomed. There are too many secrets of the eldest prince in this big camp, and there are also cause and effect that the eldest prince is most afraid of. So, the Great Prince had to let them go first.

In the night, the Karma was once again stained red with blood. Under the orders of the eldest prince, there was no one else in this oasis except for less than four thousand soldiers and the eldest prince and princess. And the eldest prince, after contemplating for half the night, also gathered his soldiers.

"The king's army is likely to attack tomorrow. If you follow His Highness, there is only one way to die. So, let's go if you want to! After the eldest prince finished speaking, he stepped into his tent. Shut everything out.
