Chapter 867: After the War
In the early morning, the morning sun is like a rainbow.
The battle of Peicheng has ended, and overnight, the battlefields in all directions have almost been cleaned, and the city is still the same city.
However, the golden dragon battle flags of the Great Wu Dynasty flying above the heads of several city gates have already told the world that this city is the territory of Great Wu.
West City Gate.
On the top of the highest tower of the city gate, a huge golden dragon battle flag is flying, and under this big battle flag is a flying tiger battle flag, one of the battle flags, on the book, the fifth division of the flying tiger battalion.
Fang Mu, the commander of the Fifth Division, with his armor and weapons in his hands, stood on top of the city, looking into the distance, and waiting for the battle.
The battle is not over yet.
Although they have taken Peicheng, but they must also be able to keep it, if this head has just taken Peicheng and has not yet covered his hands, it will be recaptured by the soldiers and horses of Pujiaguan, and they will lose face and lose a lot of hair.
Therefore, Fang Mu should not relax for a moment.
"Division commander, the 231st Regiment and the 232nd Regiment of the Third Division are back, led by Division Commander Dong personally, and there are a large number of Shu cavalry chasing soldiers behind them, and it is Guan Yu who personally leads the troops to pursue!" A scout to Malay newspapers.
The third division is the cavalry division, after the battle in the eastern suburbs of the plain last night, Tai Shici was seriously injured, Shi Tao stabilized Peicheng, LΓΌ Meng sat in the Chinese army, and the division commander Dong Xi led two regiments of cavalry all the way to pursue Zhang Fei who broke through.
Now it seems that it was Dong Raid who failed in their pursuit, and it should be the news that Guan Yu, the guard general of Pujia Pass, got the news and personally brought troops to reinforce them, so the two regiments of the Third Division were in some danger.
Guan Yu, that is a fierce general who is even more fierce than Zhang Fei.
"Open the gates!"
Fang Mu thought for a while, personally walked down the city, turned over and got on his horse: "Pass my order." The 251st Regiment held the city wall, and the 252nd Regiment, the 253rd Regiment, and the 254th Regiment immediately followed me out of the city to welcome the cavalry of the 3rd Division back to the city. β
"Yes!"
The 5th Division fought a downwind battle last night, and their casualties were negligible. The officers and men under his command were all fully established, and several regiment commanders were ordered to quickly organize the army out of the city.
Half an hour later, on a mountain road beyond the moat, the three regiments of the Flying Tiger Fifth Division formed a huge defensive formation, connecting a strong defensive line.
Da Da Da !!!
The sound of horses' hooves that shook the earth sounded loudly, and in the midst of the rolling wind and sand, the figures of cavalry appeared on the outskirts of the West City Gate.
"It's coming!"
Fang Mu's expression was solemn, and he stepped out. His eyes were cold, and he shouted: "Bow and arrow battalion, strong crossbow battalion, out of the camp, step forward, and prepare to release arrows!" β
"Yes!"
The soldiers of the two battalions quickly crossed the front battalion, stepped forward, and then formed a horizontal formation. Draw your bow and aim your arrows at the cavalry in front of you.
"It was the Fifth Division that came to meet us. Boys, rush over! Dong Xian, who was charging forward, looked up, his eyes were happy, and he shouted.
Last night's pursuit was undoubtedly a failure for the Third Division, and Guan Yu came too quickly. not only responded to Zhang Fei's remnants, but also almost killed him.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Fang Mu calculated the distance, and saw that the cavalry of the third division had basically entered the range of his defense, and immediately let go of the arrows to block the pursuers behind.
Woohoo!!!
Under a round of bow and arrow attacks, the cavalry of the Shu army suddenly turned on their backs. I could only stop my pursuit.
The cavalry of the two regiments of the Third Division quickly entered the city under the response of the Fifth Division, and the division commander Dong Xun was a little embarrassed, obviously injured by Guan Yu, and had a long wound on his left arm, bleeding profusely.
"Obey all orders, and within a quarter of an hour, immediately retreat to the city walls!"
After Fang Mu covered the third division into the city, he did not fight with the Shu army outside the city, after all, the other party was cavalry, and if he fought it, he would suffer a loss, so he quickly entered the city with soldiers and horses, as long as he held the city wall.
"Damn, it's a pity that they let them into the city!"
Guan Yu held the Qinglong Yanyue Sword in one hand and the reins of the horse in the other, and stopped outside the moat with eight thousand cavalry, looking at Peicheng in the distance with cold eyes, a little unwilling, but helpless.
The loss of Peicheng caused Shu to lose its first line of defense against the Great Wu Dynasty, which was something he was very much sorry about.
"Second General, what should I do now?" A lieutenant came up and asked in a low voice.
"Forget it!"
Guan Yu groaned for a while, there was a trace of coldness on his face like a heavy jujube, his narrow phoenix eyes narrowed, looking at the soldiers of the Wu army who were strictly guarding the city, and said coldly: "Now that Peicheng has been lost, there are at least tens of thousands of Wu troops in the city, even if we pour out the troops of Pujiaguan, we may not be able to get it back."
Since you can't get it back, then you don't have to entangle, the whole army will return to Pujia Pass, and then strengthen the defense, this revenge, we will take revenge after all! β
"Yes!"
The cavalry of this Shu army came and went quickly, and there was no shadow in an instant.
"Guan Yu, count yourself as interesting!" Fang Mu, who was standing at the head of the city, looked at their retreating figures and smiled coldly.
Now tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses in the city, although they are in the process of rectification because of yesterday's bloody battle, but there is absolutely no problem with combat effectiveness, if he doesn't leave, as long as it takes an hour, he can continue to besiege him.
β¦β¦
Midday.
Above the county government in Peicheng, in the hall, the generals above the division level who participated in this battle all gathered together, although the battle was won, but the generals did not have much joy.
"General Taishi, how are your injuries?"
Chief of Staff Shi Tao looked at Tai Shici, who was a little pale, and asked in a deep voice.
"No problem!"
When Tai Shi Ci heard this, he shook his head lightly, and said with a wry smile: "I was beaten by Zhang Fei's gang and shattered the qi in my body, and I can't move my qi within three days, and if I regulate my breath properly, I can recover within five days, but this time a certain family has embarrassed Dawu!" β
Da Wu won this battle, but he lost, lost to Zhang Fei, although he has practiced Gang Xiaocheng realm, but Zhang Fei has completely stepped into Lian Gang Dacheng, there is a gap between them after all.
"I don't blame you for this battle, we underestimated Zhang Fei's combat effectiveness!" Shi Tao said.
One person can form an army, and one person's strength can change the outcome of a war, this is the style of a peerless general.
"Hmph, he Zhang Fei is not comfortable, although his last move hurt me. But his own injuries are much more serious than mine, and he won't be able to move for at least a month! β
Tai Shi Ci's eyes had a hint of fighting intent, and he said coldly: "And he has already injured his meridians, and even his internal organs will be injured by his own qi, which will leave a lifelong root of illness in his body." Next time, I can fight him, and I will never lose again. β
The breath in the martial artist's body is a force, hurting others can also hurt oneself, reversing the anger, Zhang Fei's injury is much more serious than his, unlike his external injury, Zhang Fei is from the inside, an internal injury that is difficult to treat.
Ordinary warriors. If you don't have a life-and-death situation, you will never dare to do this, this kind of injury is difficult to recuperate, and even Zhang Fei's combat effectiveness will decrease in the future.
"Alright, let's talk about your casualties in each division!"
At this time, Lu Meng opened his mouth and said lightly.
Shi Tao is the chief of staff and has come to assist in the battle. Tai Shici is a temporarily appointed battle commander, and he is the main general when he fights. It was Lu Meng who really controlled the soldiers and horses.
"The second division, with 1,232 casualties!" The chief of staff of the second division said in a low voice.
As the main force of the middle battalion, it is reasonable to confront Zhang Fei's forces head-on, and the casualties are at this figure.
"The Fifth Division, with eighty-seven casualties!"
"Fourth Division. One hundred and one casualties! β
These two divisions combined tens of thousands of troops to fight the thousands of young and strong soldiers at the North City Gate, and it went very smoothly, and the so-called young and strong soldiers were just to cheer for the battle with the wind, and the strength of the enemy was strong when they encountered it. It will collapse immediately.
Therefore, there were many lightly wounded soldiers in the two divisions, but the total number of soldiers killed in battle was not more than 200.
"The casualties of our third division are four hundred and twelve!" Dong Xi said: "The most important casualty is when chasing Zhang Fei, I didn't expect Guan Yu from Pujia Pass to come so quickly, not only did he not kill Zhang Fei, but he also suffered a lot of casualties!" β
"In this battle, our independent division suffered the greatest casualties!" Sha Ye gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, his fists were clenched, his green tendons bulged out, and he said in a cold voice word by word: "The casualties are more than 1,900, one regiment commander was killed in battle, and now another regiment commander is seriously injured with a broken leg and is unconscious!" β
In this battle, the independent division suffered a big loss, two fierce generals under Sha Ye, Sha Lai died on the spot, Bazaar was disabled, and now life and death are not known, but even if he survives, he has lost a leg and must retire.
In the Battle of Shangyong, the 4th Regiment had not yet recovered, so it did not participate in this battle, and now the 2nd and 3rd Regiments suffered heavy casualties.
The entire independent division is considered to have suffered a great loss of vitality.
"Master Sha, I'm sorry, it's my fault!"
Lu Meng stood up, facing the sand field, and then bowed respectfully, and then said in a low voice: "I misestimated Zhang Fei's strength, it is the biggest mistake in this battle, I will report to the Military Aircraft Department and ask for punishment, but this battle has caused huge casualties among the officers and men of the Independent Division, I am sorry!" β
The two regiment commanders of the independent division were both dead and disabled in order to protect him, and he couldn't help it.
Sha Ye raised his head, his bronze bell-like eyes burst out with a cold gaze, and he looked at Lu Meng deadly, and finally sighed helplessly: "General Lu has done nothing wrong, none of us can do better than you in this battle, our Wuxi warriors will never complain, what we lose on the battlefield will only be recaptured on the battlefield!" β
Lu Meng has already done a good job, if they can't lure Zhang Fei out and storm the city, their casualties this time will be at least tripled, but Zhang Fei's fierce general is originally a variable.
No one can be reconciled in this war.
"I promise, one day, I will take Zhang Fei's head and pay tribute to the dead son!" Lu Meng's eyes flashed with a decisive and fierce light.
"General Lu, now that Peicheng has been taken, do you want to return to the north immediately?"
Shi Tao asked: "The situation in Xinye is very serious, although General Lu Bu frightened Zhang Xiu, no one is sure when Zhang Xiu will wave his troops south, once he knows, the strength of a division behind the entire Xinye defense line will definitely send troops!" β
"It's true that the troops are going back to the north, the third division, as a cavalry, has not suffered very heavy casualties, and the speed is the fastest, so go north immediately and rush to Xinye, is it okay?"
Lu Meng nodded, and then looked at Dong Xi with some tentative eyes.
"Yes!"
Dong Xi nodded and took the order, quickly left the hall, reorganized his troops, and then pulled out the camp and headed north.
"Tu Gang!" Lu Meng thought about it, but it was still not safe enough.
"In!"
"The Fourth Division will rest in the city for a day, and then pull out the camp and go north!"
Lu Meng's movements were resolute and resolute, without a trace of mud and water: "The fifth division in Peicheng is enough to defend, and the casualties of the independent division and my direct second division are too great, so we must return to Qinghe Mountain for repair!" β
"Yes!"
The generals took the orders and left. (To be continued.) )
