The battlefield finally fell silent.

The sergeant who escaped, Gao Chibang didn't want to chase after him, he believed that when these people faced the iron-blooded army again, I was afraid that the knife would not be able to lift, and it didn't matter if these people were let go, not to mention the sergeants under Huang Chao's command, most of them were homeless, and some of them were indeed forced to join the army, and their combat effectiveness was not good.

Maybe this decision is a little wrong, but Gao Chibang can't take care of it so much, and with his eyes, he knows that Zhao Laibao's losses are heavy.

An hour later, 3,000 soldiers carrying grain and grass also arrived.

The statistics of the battle are out.

Zhao Laibao's 10,000 soldiers, more than 4,200 killed, more than 600 seriously wounded, it is the loss of nearly 5,000 soldiers, resisted the four rounds of Huangchao's 50,000 troops, defeated Huangchao's 20,000 vanguard troops, and bought time for Gao Chibang's gallop aid, you must know that there are 90,000 troops under Huangchao's command, such a disparity in the number of troops, it seems impossible for ordinary people to resist.

Either way, it was a perfect victory.

And Gao Chibang knows very well why there are not many seriously injured soldiers of the Iron and Blood Army, it is because many seriously injured soldiers are unwilling to withdraw from the battle, and would rather choose to die on the battlefield.

This was the heaviest casualty of the Predator since its inception, and one of the most significant victories of the Predator.

Gao Chibang was not happy at all, although he said that 20,000 soldiers of the Iron Blood Army basically annihilated the army of Huang Chao, so that Huang Chao could only flee in a hurry, but the loss of the Iron Blood Army was too great, you must know that these soldiers were trained by Gao Chibang, and the death of every soldier made him feel uncomfortable in his heart, not to mention that the death of so many soldiers this time was directly related to his decision-making mistakes, Gao Chibang could not forgive himself, let alone let go of Huang Chao who fled in a hurry.

Late at night, the army led by Huang Biao also arrived. The three-way army finally met.

Looking at the battlefield that still had a strong smell of blood, looking at the remains of the iron-blooded soldiers who had been cleaned up, Huang Biao's face was pale, he almost tried his best to hurry, but it was still too late, he missed the fight, and the dense remains of the iron-blooded soldiers made Huang Biao almost unable to control his emotions, and in the face of the mountains of enemy corpses, Huang Biao rushed forward. Kick at the corpse.

Zhao Laibao can finally rest, he was also injured in the battle, but he has always insisted, after the battle, he lost too much blood and was in a coma for more than an hour, if it wasn't for the timely rescue of the medical officer, there might be an accident.

After dark, more detailed statistics came out.

Of the more than 600 soldiers who were seriously wounded, more than 200 were unable to hold on. This made the number of fallen soldiers climb to about 4,500, and the army under Huang Chao's command was nearly 40,000 people killed and more than 10,000 surrendered. The rest of them scattered and fled, and it should be said that when Huang Chao fled, he didn't take many sergeants with him.

Compared to the two, the loss of the Predator Army is nothing. But the number of casualties made Gao Chibang and Huang Biao unable to bear it, and it was originally the two of them who led the army into Jiangnan Province to exterminate Huang Chao. But in the end, it was Zhao Laibao, who came from Yangzhou, who assumed the main combat duties, which made the two feel aggrieved.

In the military tent.

Gao Chibang, whose face was pale, spoke to the map.

"Scout reconnaissance, Huang Chao fled in the direction of ten thousand years, this time you must not let him go, Huang Biao, you lead five thousand soldiers, set off immediately, chase and kill Huang Chao, no matter where you chase it, you must kill Huang Chao, you must not let Huang Chao escape, Huang Chao's grain and grass have all been seized, he fled in a hurry, almost without any preparation, he can not always eat or drink, always look for food and grass along the road, so the speed will not be too fast, I hope you can kill Huang Chao within a month, General Zhao and many seriously injured brothers need to recuperate, the army is temporarily stationed here, and a month later, they will go to Yangzhou, and if they make a mistake in decision-making, they will ask for guilt in front of the prince. ”

Huang Biao couldn't help it for a long time, and after Gao Chibang gave the order, he also opened his mouth with a blushing face.

"I don't need a month, half a month is enough, I just don't eat or drink, I want to chase and kill Huang Chao, I don't believe it, Huang Chao is really iron, his army has been dispersed, there are no sergeants around him, at this time it is no different from a lost dog, if you can't kill or capture Huang Chao alive, you have no shame to go back to see the prince."

After Huang Biao finished speaking, he spoke to Zhao Laibao, who was lying on the side.

"General Zhao, this battle has worked hard for you, if it weren't for your desperate resistance, Huangchao's army might have fled, a certain was still a little worried, but now it seems that it is all a lot of heart, the iron-blooded army has no bad seeds, and a certain person has made amends to you for the previous worries."

Gao Chibang was a little stunned, in fact, he also had such thoughts, but he didn't expect Huang Biao to say it.

Zhao Laibao waved his hand.

"General Huang's words are serious, in fact, I am worried about myself, I am afraid that I will not be able to resist, so all the previous combat deployments are in vain, and the timely assistance of the high school guards has made Huang Chao a complete failure, but chasing Huang Chao is not a simple matter, Huang Chao has been fighting for many years and has rich experience, General Huang still has to be careful."

Gao Chibang nodded.

"General Huang, all the 2,000 special forces officers and soldiers will be allocated to you, and it is best to be able to capture Huang Chao alive."

Huang Biao nodded, turned around and prepared to leave the Zhongjun tent.

"General Huang and so on, a certain has arranged for a sergeant to prepare sufficient food, Huang Chao poisoned the people in Yuezhou, Hongzhou and Raozhou, so that the people have almost no way to live, you pursue Huang Chao this time, bring more grain and grass, don't disturb the people along the road, this is military discipline, no matter when it can not be violated, General Huang must remember."

Huang Biao opened his mouth to speak, carrying more grain and grass will inevitably affect the speed of the march, but Gao Chibang's words behind him made him not want to speak, carrying more grain and grass can indeed ensure better and faster completion of the task.

An hour later, Gao Chibang and Zhao Laibao, who was barely standing, sent Huang Biao away.

After entering the Zhongjun tent again, Gao Chibang's face was slightly better.

"General Zhao, I really didn't expect that Huang Chao was so greedy, robbed so much grain and grass, and countless gold, silver and jewelry, I don't know how many people can't survive."

"High school guards, I once heard the prince say that Huang Chao has long lost the hearts of the people, so he can't hold on, the prince also thinks that this is the best time to exterminate Huang Chao, but I didn't expect that in less than a month, Huang Chao's army was defeated, so it seems that the half a year that the prince planned is not needed at all, and it will take a month at most to completely defeat Huang Chao."

"What you said is reasonable, but a certain has also found some problems, Yuezhou, Hongzhou, Jiangzhou and Raozhou, bandits are ravaging, some are people who can't survive, gathering in the mountains and forests, some are ruffians who are helpless, thinking about fishing in troubled waters, it will take a while for General Huang to kill Huang Chao, and tomorrow he will take 5,000 iron-blooded soldiers to pacify the local bandits."

"The high school protector can rest assured that he can take care of himself."

"Okay, a certain will write a letter to the prince immediately, Jiangnan Province has basically calmed down, and the iron-blooded army needs to control the entire Jiangnan Province, otherwise there will be more local bandits, these days, a certain person has seen the misery of the people, the government does not act, the people have no way to live, the prince is afraid that he will send many officials into Jiangnan Province, it will not take long for the iron-blooded army to take Jiangnan Province, but it will take many years to govern Jiangnan Province."

When Gao Chibang said this, Zhao Laibao smiled.

"The high school guards thought about the matters of people's livelihood, but they didn't notice this, they were all worried about the prince before, and they never thought of it, and now it seems that these things also need to be considered."

Gao Chibang's face flashed a smile, in fact, in his recital, it was suggested that Zhao Laibao lead 10,000 soldiers of the Iron Blood Army to stay in Hongzhou, and if he wants to completely control Jiangnan West Road, it is impossible to guard without the Iron Blood Army, plus Zhao Laibao is injured, it is not suitable for long-distance sports in a short time, the reason why it is said that when it comes to people's livelihood matters, Gao Chibang also reminded Zhao Laibao that he must pay attention to these aspects.

After Zhao Laibao went to rest, Gao Chibang did not rest, he thought a lot, after so many years by Li Rupei's side, he knew very well that Li Rupei's most important thing was not the military victory, but how to make the Tang Dynasty glorious again, which is much more difficult than winning in battle, the situation in Yuezhou and other places seen along the way made Gao Chibang very anxious, these places must be stabilized as soon as possible, otherwise after the first month, a large number of displaced people will appear, and at that time, Li Rupei will spend a lot of energy to pacify these places, maybe it will affect the battle to attack Yangzhou.

Therefore, in the letter, Gao Chibang suggested that a large amount of grain should be purchased with the seized gold, silver and jewelry, to prevent the tide of displaced people after the beginning of the year, as long as there is enough food, it can stabilize the people, and after the beginning of the year, it is the spring ploughing season, and the people must start farming, and must settle down, so that they can barely stabilize Jiangnan Road in the coming year.

After thinking for a long time, Gao Chibang started writing.

After writing the letter, when I walked out of the Chinese military tent, the sky was already faintly bright.

Gao Chibang, who had not slept all night, was still in good spirits, he called the soldiers around him and asked the soldiers to send the letter to Yangzhou within three days and hand it over to the prince in person.

The army has begun to assemble, Huang Biao took away 5,000 soldiers, there are still 20,000 soldiers camped here, Gao Chibang decided to take away the 5,000 soldiers who exterminated the bandits, they are ready, all of them are one person and two horses, so as to ensure the fastest movement speed, for those bandits who gather in the Wuthering Mountains and forests, Gao Chibang did not look at them, these bandits are vulnerable, but the destructive power is very powerful.

More than 10,000 captives captured, after screening, those who can enter the Iron and Blood Army should be absorbed as much as possible, and if it is really not possible, they will be left and handed over to Zhao Laibao to deal with, after all, Jiangnan Province has been dilapidated by Huangchao, and a large number of people have been lost.
