No matter what shock the Hidden Mist Army brings, life still has to go on.

There was no battle that day, and although Que Xuanjun fell into an extremely disadvantageous situation, this disadvantage was not visible to everyone. Moreover, Que Xuanjun is all believers, who have been fooled and brainwashed, and their brains are not very clear, and no one will have such a clear judgment.

Que Xuan took local materials, hastily set up a simple camp, and did not move for the time being. At the same time, a small team of people was sent south, with the hope of being in case, to see if they could rescue some baggage and come back, and then decided to advance and retreat to stay.

And Wang Yu was not in the mood for continuous combat after a hard battle.

Langya's Zhangjaw army is coming at the same time, and the Danyang soldiers who have surrendered will soon be able to become a help, and they will win naturally. Just be careful and don't let Que Xuan, a half-cooked duck, fly.

After the war, according to statistics, in the Battle of Maling, the Qingzhou Army killed more than 5,000 enemies on the spot; The surrender of troops is slightly less, only more than 4,000, but it can't be too extravagant, after all, the Qingzhou army did not launch a comprehensive pursuit, and the surrender troops automatically laid down their arms and surrendered; Fewer than 6,000 were scattered, half of whom were soldiers.

Although Cao Bao and Xu Tan were released, even if the two of them regrouped, it would be impossible to gather all the routs, and it would be good to pull out a team of two or three thousand people.

The Qingzhou army itself, the biggest loss is Langya Yulin, before the war was 2,700 people, after the war, only 1,600 people are still alive, the body is different and serious are wounded, about 300 are seriously injured, the rest are killed on the spot.

Even if a seriously injured person is rescued, it is impossible to recover as before.

Because the battle was too fierce, many seriously wounded soldiers, as long as they could still move, would burst out with their last strength. Launch an all-in-one attack on the enemy. Therefore, the rest of the seriously wounded are the kind that are completely injured and unable to move, and if they do not do so, they will also die on the battlefield.

It is precisely because of this terrifying style of play that the surrendered Danyang soldiers are not afraid to come and go like the wind, the light cavalry that hits their vital points every time, and the Hidden Mist Army who are not afraid to give them a fatal blow, but when they look at Langya Yulin, their eyes are like seeing a ghost.

Workaholic. Who can not be afraid?

The casualties of the other teams were very small, and Zhao Yun's light cavalry only lost more than a dozen men when firing at each other, plus the loss of the sudden formation behind the Hidden Mist Army, it was less than thirty, and the losses were almost negligible.

The Hidden Mist Army's casualties were slightly heavier. In the end, it is impossible to be without any damage. However, due to the protection of the armor, most of the knights who fell off their horses were injured but did not die, which was also a blessing.

As for the five hundred Danyang veterans disguised as the Hidden Mist Army, they have been firing arrows from a distance, and they are very safe, only a few unlucky people who have been shot to their toes by arrows. Harmless.

All in all, it was a brilliant big win.

Although he failed to annihilate the enemy army, Wang Yu's timely and accurate post-battle disposal drove Que Xuan's 5,000 well-equipped soldiers and horses to a dead end. In this sense, the big win was even more brilliant than expected.

It was night, the Qingzhou military camp at the foot of Maling Mountain was brightly lit, and everyone celebrated. Grieving for the dead comrades, that was after the war. Now what everyone has to do is to celebrate this glorious victory.

On the other side of the river, although Tancheng has not opened the city gate, the city is also noisy with gongs and drums, and countless people are singing and dancing, celebrating this hard-won victory.

The people of Tancheng did have a reason to be happy, after all, the war did not affect them, but the victory and defeat were divided in one day. As long as Que Xuan outside the city is resolved, at least this year, Donghai County will no longer face the threat of war.

Of course, the people didn't understand the art of war, the strategy of generals, and they didn't understand how the 5,000-strong army outside the city suddenly became meat on the chopping block. I can't stand the publicity. Zhang Xiao and his colleagues finally found an opportunity to show their strengths, and they depicted the whole process of this battle on the city walls, in the barracks, and in the streets and alleys.

Of course, their descriptions are very skillful, and they are completely from the perspective of the people.

Zhang Xiao's tongue was lotus: "The hussar general couldn't bear to involve the people in the city in the war, so he gave a strict order to Chen Duwei before the battle, ordering him to defend the city only by pretending, and not to fight fiercely with the enemy, arouse the enemy's ferocity, and cause the lives in the city to be miserable......"

"What a good man!"

"Amitabha Buddha ......"

The good men and women clasped their hands together and prayed endlessly, and they were very moved.

Zhenrong preached Buddhism, mainly in Xiapi, but the surrounding area was also somewhat affected. The Chinese people have always worshiped when they see God, and they like to follow the trend, and there are many fashionable ones in Xuzhou, whether they understand the teachings of Buddhism or not, they will come to two sentences of duck rice tofu if they have nothing to do.

"And that's not all! In order to prevent Tancheng from being involved in the war, the hussar general also ordered the defenders in the city not to fight...... Today's battle is called a danger, the enemy once attacked the banner of the prince's generals, the prince personally wielded the lance to fight, and killed the enemy's thirty-six generals and seventy-two generals, so as to stabilize the position......"

Zhang Xiao's colleagues can't be completely nonsense, at least it's true that Wang Yu personally wielded a lance to kill the enemy, as for the facts, is the situation so critical...... But who cares? This kind of thing is making up stories, as long as it can move people and resonate, authenticity or something, as long as it touches the edges, it is enough.

He did what he did, and the people were amazed, and then the prayers became louder and more earnest.

In this way, Que Xuan's 5,000-strong army was completely ignored by the soldiers and civilians of Tancheng, and the scene of singing and dancing in the city echoed the Qingzhou military camp, and even the loyal believers in Que Xuan's army felt that something was wrong and began to waver.

In normal times, Que Xuan must proclaim all kinds of righteousness and depict all kinds of beauty in the Western Pure Land, so as to boost the morale of believers and make them forget about life and death, but at this moment, he has no such thoughts.

No matter how much you sacrifice your life and forget your death, you can't cross the high wall, you can't cross the big river, you can't conjure up food, or teleport back to Quyang City, what's the use of arousing morale?

The only thing worth looking forward to a little is the team of soldiers and horses returning south, if they can successfully bring back some of the baggage, then there is still some hope of breaking through and going home, otherwise......

He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

After staying up all night, there are many more giant pandas in Que Xuanjun's army - those who stay up all night.

When the rooster sings and the golden crow rises, the dawn finally returns to the earth, but what it brings to Que Xuan is endless darkness. The troops heading south returned, but only half of the 500 men at the time of departure were left, and they were ambushed by the Hidden Fog Army on the way, and if it weren't for the alertness of the generals led by them, it was likely that the entire army would have been wiped out.

The leader of the troops is a military Sima named Li Bin, who is polite and polite, not like a military general at all, in fact, his martial arts are indeed not good. However, he is a rare scholar in Que Xuan's army, except for the children of the Que family, who has read books, so he is still very valued by Que Xuan.

"Your Majesty, the river is impossible to get close to, then Wei Yan is not only brave and brave, but also very good at setting up ambushes and surprise soldiers, he walked so fast before, who would have thought that he was not in a hurry to find the baggage, but set up an ambush in the wilderness? The ministers are incompetent, but no one could have imagined that they would lie on the grass like that! Your Majesty, this battle can't be fought......"

"What if you don't fight? Can't I beg Wang Yu to let me go? Que Xuan's face was dark, but he didn't mean to get angry, after yesterday's ups and downs, plus the torture of a sleepless night, he no longer had the strength.

"It doesn't have to be." Li Bin's eyes rolled and he actually nodded.

"You ......" Que Xuan was furious, he felt that Li Bin was ridiculing him, but he roared to his mouth, and when he saw the other party's armor crooked, but Shi Shiran didn't care about it, his heart moved.

"What is your reasoning, let's say, I must not be an unreasonable person, and if you are reasonable, I will be rewarded."

Li Bin looked left and right, and bowed: "Dare to ask Your Majesty to retreat." ”

"Go down, all of you." Que Xuan waved his hand and sent a few listless guards out, he was not afraid of the other party's assassination, in fact, if he was stabbed to death, he would save himself from continuing to worry.

"The minister has the courage to ask Your Majesty, now that our army has no way out, is Your Majesty willing to surrender?" Li Bin asked.

"Although I fell for the ......" Que Xuan wanted to say that he had been tricked, but when the words came to his mouth, he stumbled, he found that he didn't seem to have a position to say such things, Wang Yu didn't dare to do anything, it was clear that he himself crashed in. Out of embarrassment, he put back the tirade he wanted to say before, and spit out four words with a straight face: "I'd rather die than surrender!" ”

"In this case, Wang Yu and our army must fight in the end, even if the Qingzhou army is invincible in the world, but if you want to take Your Majesty's 5,000 army lightly, I'm afraid you can't, does Your Majesty think so?" Li Bin asked again.

"Well...... put it a day ago, if someone dared to say this in front of Que Xuan, he would definitely dismantle the other party. But at this moment, when he heard this, he actually felt a little pleasant, so he bowed his head slightly, acquiescing to the other party's statement.

"Wang Yu's annihilation of our army is not of much benefit, at most it is just to capture some armor, but it will have to pay a certain price......" Li Bin's expression and tone became more and more sincere: "Your Majesty, think about it carefully, if the minister said that if Wang Yu can get what he wants without spending a single soldier, then ......"

Que Xuan understood what Li Bin meant, and he raised his eyebrows: "You mean ......?"

"Your Majesty." Li Bin was also worried about angering him, so he took half a step back and said first: "Stay in Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, Gaozu also had an alliance with his subordinates back then, and the humiliation of Bai Deng, why don't you endure it?" Rather than burning the jade, it is better to endure the humiliation for a while and leave it for another way...... Your Majesty, please think again! ”

Trade equipment for lives......

This is a choice that gamers often encounter in later generations, but in the game, you can be resurrected if you die, and although Que Xuan is also blessed by the Buddha, he has not learned this collar. Therefore, he glared at Li Bin, thought for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh: "Time is also fate, what can I do about it?" ”

Before Li Bin could speak, he raised his hand with lightning speed, pointed at Li Bin and ordered: "Binzhi, you will take care of the mission, don't break my prestige, otherwise...... Hum! ”

After that, he waved his hand like a fly: "Without further ado, you prepare, let's go on the road!" ”
