After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Liu Fan ordered the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, collect the corpses of the dead own soldiers, and clean up the weapons, armor and war horses discarded by the enemy! In this battle, Liu Fan annihilated more than 400 enemy infantry, nearly 200 cavalry, and captured a number of weapons and armor, more than 100 shields, and 56 war horses. 25 people died on their own side, more than 100 were slightly injured, and there were not many serious injuries, only a few! This is a great victory for an army of only 500 people! But Liu Fan was not happy at all, although he knew that death was inevitable in the war, but seeing such huge casualties, Liu Fan still felt a heartache. These soldiers are not only their own men, after nearly three months of getting along with each other, they are like their own brothers, but now they have lost more than twenty people forever! Liu Fan's heart is full of sadness!

Outside the battlefield, Yu Dacheng saw that the enemy had retreated, so he hurriedly brought people over, rode his horse to the vicinity of Liu Fan's army, turned over and dismounted and walked towards Liu Fan. Awesome! Jimin really deserves to be the elite that His Majesty values! Seeing Yu Dacheng coming, Liu Fan hurriedly packed up his temperament and greeted him! After all, it is his boss, and he will have to rely on him to support him in the future, and this bit of face still has to be given!

"My lord! You're here! Fortunately, he has repelled the rebels! Liu Fan hugged his fist at Yu Dacheng and said!

Yu Dacheng stepped forward quickly, grabbed Liu Fan, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Jimin!" I've seen them all! It's not just a repulsion! What an incredible victory! Jimin not only easily defeated the same number of rebels with only 500 foot soldiers, but in the face of the impact of more than 1,000 cavalry, the army formation did not move at all and killed more than 200 cavalry, which is really powerful! The old man has an army like Jimin under his command! It's the old man's luck! ”

'Your Excellency, the lowly spear formation already has a way to deal with the cavalry! The other party has no idea, and carelessly underestimates the enemy, there is no surprise that there is such a result! Liu Fan explained

"No matter what, helping the people is a great achievement! The old man will ask for credit for you! Yu Dacheng said happily

"Thank you for your appreciation!" Liu Fan pretended to be grateful and said

After a period of politeness, Liu Fan returned to the army with the soldiers who had already cleaned up the battlefield! Looking at the hundreds of corpses on the ground and the armor on their bodies, Captain Jiading couldn't help but speak, "Lord Liu, you haven't cleaned the battlefield yet!" Liu Fan gave him a strange look, "It's already been cleaned!" ”

"This..."Captain Ding was speechless for a while, you call it cleaning? After thinking about it, he still opened his mouth and said, "I, Da Ming, will record merit according to the head, and if you haven't cut off the enemy's head, then it won't be considered a battle merit!" And the armor on the soldier's body, you haven't collected it yet! ”

Liu Fan looked at the tatters on the bodies of these dead soldiers, thought for a while and said, "I don't need these things!" If you like it, take it! In fact, Liu Fan didn't know that he hadn't finished cleaning the battlefield yet, he deliberately let the soldiers leave these things. At first, he did not look down on the rags on these soldiers, and he was also disgusted with cutting off the heads of dead enemies, feeling that this was disrespectful to the enemy, and it was disrespectful to himself. Except, of course, the Tartar head! Second, he doesn't need to rely on the number of enemy heads to get promoted and make a fortune, he just needs to let Chongzhen know that he can fight! If you can win the battle, you can do it! In that case, Chongzhen will naturally arrange for him to be promoted! Golden thighs are not hugged for nothing! He also needs to divide his efforts properly, otherwise it is easy to provoke the enemy by eating alone, so these things are specially reserved for them!

Captain Jiading was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly, "Then thank you, my lord!" The great grace of the adults will not dare to forget! If you have a useful place, you will do it by all means in the next place! "After that, he ordered his men to collect armor and cut off the enemy's head! Liu Fan watched them raise their knives and slash off the heads of the dead soldiers, his heart twitched, and he turned his head away from looking! Say a polite word and turn back to your camp!

At night, in order to prevent the rebels from sneaking up on the army, the army retreated ten miles back and stationed! In the marshal's tent, Yu Dacheng convened a meeting of the officers, and Liu Fan was also called! The officers present spoke one after another, that is, to fight or stay to engage in heated discussions, some said to fight, some said that the troops should be withdrawn, and Yu Dacheng was also fired dizzy, and he couldn't pay attention! After all, the rebels are strong in combat, and it is probably impossible to defeat the enemy army with the strength in his hands, but he can't just leave, after all, Qingzhou City is still waiting for them to rescue, and Qingzhou will definitely not be protected once he leaves! Suddenly, I saw Liu Fan sitting in the corner without saying a word, his eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Jimin, you can also tell me your opinion!" The tent immediately stopped arguing and turned to look at Liu Fan, after all, the battle in the morning was obvious to all, and it was all up to Liu Fan to turn the tide, otherwise he would definitely be defeated!

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Liu Fan had to stand up and say, "My lord, whether to fight or stay, in fact, you still have to decide for yourself!" Humble means that we will stay here for the time being, threaten the rear flank of the rebels, and if they attack the city, we will attack their rear, forcing them to divide their forces and not concentrate on the siege, and if they do not attack the city, we will not move! The most important thing is to ask for help from the governor of Denglai, Lord Sun, and let him lead his troops north to flank the rebels, so that the rebels can be forced to give up the siege of the city, and the siege of Qingzhou will be naturally solved! ”

Yu Dacheng thought for a while and said: "Jimin is reasonable! The old man wrote a letter to inform Sun Yuanhua, and Zhang Keda asked them to send someone north to flank the rebels! ”

"My lord, pay attention to the movements of the rebels, once they attack the city or escape, we must take action!" Liu Fan added

"Hmmm! I'll pay attention! ”

After returning to his camp from the middle tent, Liu Fan convened a meeting of officers above the rank of chief, and after everyone arrived, Liu Fan said: "This battle can be said to be a victory!" The officers present cheered! Gleefully began to talk!

"That's it! Don't be happy just yet! This battle exposed a lot of our shortcomings at the same time! Who's going to talk about the shortcomings first! ”

The officers below stopped their cheers and were speechless, and Liu Fan had no choice but to personally order, "Wan Yongfa!" You're a sentinel! It's the first queue again! You speak first! ”

Wan Yongfa heard Liu Fan shouting, he stood up helplessly and said, "The soldiers are too nervous, and the battlefield is a little slow to react when they hear the password, which is easy to give the enemy a chance!" Keep up your training! ”

After hearing this, Liu Jian immediately stood up and said, "I think the shield soldiers on the battlefield lack the means of attack, and the sword and shield soldiers of the other side in today's battle are all holding knives in their hands, and we are short guns!" It's not good for chopping, you should replace it with a long knife! ”

After Liu Jian, the soldiers spoke one after another, saying their thoughts! Liu Fan looked at the officers who were speaking enthusiastically underground, and nodded with satisfaction, an army can only grow continuously by learning from experience and improving itself in continuous battles!
