The night was as cool as water, and it was silent.

The camp in the north of the city was the garrison of the Goguryeo people, and this camp occupied a large area in the north of the city and could accommodate 30,000 troops at the same time.

It's just that at this time, this large camp only has 9,000 soldiers and horses, which makes the broad camp a little empty. All the soldiers in the battalion already knew that of the 11,000 soldiers and horses who went out in the morning, few of them came back with the prince.

The soldiers in the entire battalion were spreading the news that the Great Sui army was coming, some said that 30,000 were coming, but some people immediately argued that it was 50,000 coming, and even said that it was the Great Sui Emperor who drove the expedition himself, bringing a million troops, otherwise he would not have defeated the fifth master.

Rumors always spread like the wind, especially when all the officers above the lord of the building were called by the prince to discuss matters, and all the soldiers were even more panicked.

In the big camp, in the face of those panicked rumors, no soldier could sleep, everyone gathered in twos and threes to chat, guessing who would defeat the prince today. The sky was dark tonight, and even the sparkling stars of the past had been hidden in the clouds.

A team of soldiers pushed dozens of carts into the barracks, and many people recognized that the leader was the Lord Jinbuda Moke beside the prince.

"Pass the prince's order, tomorrow the Sui army will come to attack the city, the prince is sympathetic to the soldiers, now I am specially ordered to pass the order, today to reward the soldiers with ten thousand catties of beef and mutton, good wine and thousands of altars, although everyone is open to eat and drink, tomorrow will be the Sui dog one by one to cut down the city. Come and distribute wine and meat to the soldiers. As soon as his voice fell, the soldiers behind immediately moved all the cattle, sheep, wine and meat on the cart and distributed them to the soldiers in the camp who were already drooling.

Distribute wine and meat before the war, which is also a tradition in the army, at this time, the officers above the lord of the army are all deceived by Gao Qi to the south gate, these soldiers have good wine and meat to eat, and who will care about the others. Such an opportunity is rare, and today the prince is gracious, so don't grab it quickly.

And the officers who came to distribute wine and meat today are also very generous, and they are completely unquantitative to everyone, as long as you want to eat, you can eat and drink, and even take the initiative to persuade everyone to eat and drink more. The unbridled revelry went on for several hours, and at the last moment before dawn, few soldiers in the entire battalion were still awake, and many drunken soldiers lay on the open space outside the tent with the wine jar in their arms, and fell asleep.

Chen Kefu has been standing on the gate tower of the south city, and from this high gate tower, he can look at the undulating hills outside the south gate. If it weren't for Gao Qi who first went out of the city to fight in the field this time, and then surrendered the Sui army for fear of death, such a mountain city, if Gao Qi took 20,000 people to retreat into the city and stick to the mountain city, they would not be able to do anything except sweep the nearby villages with his 3,000 men and horses.

But at this moment, he is already standing on the head of this city, and he is still invincible. The seven regiments that cleaned up the battlefield outside the city at the end had also come in, although it took a little longer than Chen Kefu expected, but it also brought surprise news that he didn't expect.

In the field battle dozens of miles away during the day, the cavalry of the 3,000 broken barracks, with the strength of their veterans of a hundred battles, plus elite armor and weapons, plus experienced veteran generals like Li Benlei. They won a great victory over the 11,000-strong Goguryeo second-line troops led by Shang Gaoqi, and even said that it was a complete victory. More than 700 of the 10,000 Goguryeo infantry were killed, and nearly 2,000 were seriously wounded and lightly wounded.

Especially after Goguryeo was scattered and disrupted, the Goguryeo people began to rout. The entire infantry of 10,000 men was captured by the thousands of cavalry who broke the barracks, and more than 7,000 people were taken prisoner. Only their 1,000 cavalry were better, but they were also the troops that were under the heavy care of the cavalry of the broken barracks, more than half of the 1,000 cavalry were annihilated, and hundreds were captured, leaving only a few routed soldiers to rely on the horses that straddled down to scatter in all directions and escape from the battlefield. However, after hearing that those defeated soldiers were fleeing in the direction of Liaodong City, Chen Kefu's heart relaxed again.

"General, because we are worried about the situation here, and because we are afraid of delaying time with them, we will kill all those wounded. Just now we escorted a total of 8,000 people, and we also captured more than 800 war horses, countless armor and banners. Congratulations to the general, after this great achievement, after it is transmitted back to Liaodong City, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely reward your lordship greatly. The Lord is now an Eagle Yang Lang General, maybe His Majesty the Emperor will directly reward the Lord with a Huya Lang General this time, that is a member of the four grades. Captain Hu Hai's face with a hideous scar was full of smiles, but with that scar, it made people look more like crying.

Chen Kefu patted Hu Hai on the shoulder, "Lord Hu is now in the sixth-rank military position of the captain of the Yueqi Academy, and this time he will definitely be promoted to the rank of Eagle Strike General, that is from the fifth grade, General Hu is so young, and the future is bright." ”

Hu Hai grinned and said excitedly, "Thank you for the general's cultivation, the subordinates are all under the command of the general, and the troops can be transported like a god to make this slight military feat, all of this is given by the general, and in the future, the subordinates will only look forward to the general's horse, but they have a life, and they will not give up." "It's not that Hu Hai hasn't made meritorious service in the past, but meritorious service does not necessarily mean that he will be rewarded. It is not uncommon for military merits to be fraudulently claimed in the army, and even some bosses will deliberately suppress their subordinate generals if they feel that their subordinates are disobedient. Chen Kefu didn't break the barracks single-handedly, there were nine Yue cavalry captains in the same position as him Hu Hai, but they were all Chen Kefu's gang, and I heard that they were still the generals' own family members who grew up together. If Chen Kefu suppressed him a little and deliberately raised his henchmen, then he Hu Hai had no choice.

Chen Kefu looked at Hu Hai's excited appearance and smiled, "As long as you follow me, General Ben will definitely not treat my brother badly." Tell me, how many of our brothers were killed or wounded this time? "This is his primary concern, and every soldier is his treasure.

Speaking of this, an iron man like Hu Hai couldn't help but feel a little sad, "General, the 1,000 cavalry of the Goguryeo people today has caused us a lot of damage. I have just counted 113 brothers and more than 200 wounded brothers in the barracks. Among them, about 200 were slightly injured, and more than 30 were seriously injured, and most of them probably couldn't survive. Although many of those who were slightly injured were able to recover after a while of recuperation, at least 20 or so of them would later become disabled, and they would have to be discharged from the army and could no longer go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

An elite encounter against the second-line troops, they relied on their advantages in all aspects and finally paid the price of more than 300 casualties, which was as many as one-tenth of the casualties, and the thought of this number made his heart ache. Even if those who were lightly wounded were well after recuperating from the formation, then he would still have to lose about one hundred and fifty elite soldiers in this battle, one twentieth of the number. How long does it take to train an elite soldier? He couldn't calculate how long it would take for the battle-hardened soldiers to grow, but he knew that he would lose one-twentieth of his men in a single battle, or a simple encounter.

If he encounters a defender like the defenders of Liaodong City, if Gao Qi does not surrender today, then if he wants to take this mountain city, he may be wiped out under this mountain city. If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, you will never know the cruelty of war if you don't take charge of the army.

"Have you brought back the bodies of those brothers who died in battle?" Chen Kefu said a little heavily.

"General, I have brought back all the brothers, and when we triumph in the coming day, we will return their leaves to their roots and their souls to their hometowns." Hu Hai is also a veteran of the battlefield, but a general like Chen Kefu who treats his fallen soldiers well, he is still the first to meet him, and he can't help but feel a little more respectful in his heart.
