Chapter Eighty-Nine: Guiling
When the morning sun rises, the smoke in the city has not been completely extinguished.
Everywhere corpses fell to the ground, blood staining the city a blood-red color.
"General! The rear army has arrived, and General Dianqing has sent a message that they will be able to arrive in the afternoon at the latest! ”
"Okay."
Li Chenfeng nodded, waved off the soldiers who gave the order, and asked Mei Sanniang who came in, "Is the battlefield cleaned up?" What are the casualties of our army? ”
Mei Sanniang nodded with an ugly look on her face, and replied: "After cleaning, a total of three hundred Wei soldiers were killed in this battle, and more than one hundred and sixty people were injured to varying degrees, and there are only less than six hundred people who can really continue to fight." ”
Frowning, Li Chenfeng didn't expect that the loss this time would be so big.
Although the enemy was ten times that of them, under the surprise attack, the Qin army did not even have a decent resistance, especially after Li Chenfeng and Xuan Jian cooperated to kill the main general of the Qin army, the entire army was completely scattered.
But even so, they still lost almost half of the Wei warriors, plus the more than thirty assassins who were killed by the Qin army, this time they can be said to have won a crushing victory.
"How did we get it?" Li Chenfeng asked a little unwillingly.
"Killed 765 Qin troops and captured 4,560 people, and the Qin army didn't have time to take away countless weapons, armor, money and food when it withdrew from the city, as well as nearly a thousand war horses."
After listening to the harvest, Li Chenfeng's mood improved. Although the loss is not small, it is a bit worthless compared to the gain.
"It was ordered that all the soldiers who died in the battle must be recorded, and that when the battle was over, each of them should be paid ten gold. As for the injured, they should also be treated with all their might, and didn't I give you a lot of medicine when we set off? These things don't have to be saved, saving people is important. ”
"Yes, the last general will thank the general for his kindness!" After Mei Sanniang saluted on one knee, she turned around and prepared to leave.
This girl has been in the military camp for so many days, and Li Chenfeng also asked King Wei to seal her the status of a general, so now she is more and more like a general.
"Wait a minute!"
Li Chenfeng stopped Mei Sanniang and said, "Next, you go and pick out all the people from Qin Land among those captives." ”
Mei Sanniang was stunned, and then immediately thought of Li Chenfeng's intentions.
"General, do you mean that you want to absorb the Qin army of those who are not from the Qin land?"
Li Chenfeng nodded.
"Except for the elite brought from Qin by Meng, most of these soldiers are young men who have been forcibly recruited from the conquered lands, and many of them are still citizens of the Wei State, so it should not be difficult to recruit them."
Mei Sanniang nodded, this is a good choice, even if you can't really believe in these people, it's not bad to use them as cannon fodder.
Now although the territory of the Qin State has more than doubled, many of them are places that have been conquered for no more than 20 years, and many of them are still attached to their homeland in their hearts, and they do not have much sense of belonging to the Qin State, especially the land of Hedong County, Sanchuan County and Dong County, of which seventy percent is the land of the Great Wei, and there are also Zhao State, Korea and even the people of some small countries such as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Wei State, Li Chenfeng believes that as long as he can defeat the Qin army, then these people will definitely fall to his side without hesitation.
You must know that Qin Wangzheng has unified the whole country for decades, but in the end, isn't it still shouted by people and gathered from followers?
The homeland is difficult to leave, and the homeland is unforgettable, which is something deeply rooted in the bones of the land of China, which has been divided for hundreds of thousands of years.
This problem faced by Qin Shi Huang after unifying the whole country is also a problem that Li Chenfeng may have to face in the future. But now, it's something he can take advantage of.
As for those who came out of the Qin Land of the real Qin State, what awaits them may be a big pit in a valley outside the city......
Bai Qi once killed the 400,000 troops of the Zhao State, achieving his reputation as a peerless god-killer. But could it be said that Zhao Guo had not killed soldiers from other countries?
South Korea destroyed Zheng, and killed 5,000 Zheng soldiers in the Broken Soul Valley outside Xinzheng City, and Wei and Qi and Chu divided the Song State, and how many Song soldiers were killed by the Three Kingdoms?
This kind of thing was actually not uncommon during the Warring States period, which is why there are so many deep hatreds among the people of various countries.
Because in this era of sweeping the floor, almost every country has had their hands stained with the blood of the other country!
……
……
In the morning, the entire city had almost been cleaned up by Wei Wushu, and Dian Qing also hurried from the original Wucheng with an army of 30,000 and 50,000 auxiliaries.
Because Dian Qing still needed to block the 100,000 Qin troops of Inner Mongolia Wu in Luoyang, it was impossible for Li Chenfeng to transfer too many troops from him.
Among these 30,000 troops, only 10,000 Wei warriors joined forces with the 10,000 new troops in Li Chenfeng's hands, and with the combat power of 20,000 Wei warriors, they could almost sweep away any army except the 50,000 Great Qin Iron Cavalry stationed in Diqiu.
Among the other 20,000 soldiers, there were 100 chariots and 3,000 cavalry. The infantry and chariots are fine, but these 3,000 cavalry are already all of the original Wu army, and even Dian Qing even brought the cavalry general Qiange, which made Li Chenfeng a little unexpected.
After all, the cavalry of the Wei State is like that, it's okay to be a scout, it's really hard to ride with the Great Qin Tie, it is estimated that it is not enough for people to stuff their teeth!
However, with these 30,000 troops, plus the captured Qin soldiers and war horses, after the reorganization, the strength in Li Chenfeng's hands became 20,000 elite Wei soldiers, 4,500 cavalry, 100 chariots, 20,000 ordinary foot soldiers, and 50,000 auxiliary soldiers, so that the regular army that could fight alone reached nearly 100,000 people.
In addition, the 50,000 auxiliaries also have simple equipment, which can be used as cannon fodder or to provide supplementary soldiers for the loss of regular troops at critical moments, if you count those people and craftsmen, there are almost 150,000 people, so that he will play the banner of 200,000 troops, maybe he doesn't have to fight all the way, just push it sideways, and those small cities on the road are likely to fall from the wind.
The next situation was indeed similar to what Li Chenfeng expected.
After their 100,000 troops left Suzao City, they went east along Pushui all the way, passing through Xu, Yan, Taoren, Pu and other places, and all the cities were far away when they saw the crimson "Wei" character banner and had already opened the city and surrendered.
The Qin troops who originally ran out of the sour jujube did not dare to turn back and resist at all, and they all took out the strength to eat milk and ran to the east.
Many of these people are the elite of the Qin State Iron Cavalry, but they lost their war horses, and it is difficult for these people to even run away now, after being chased out for more than a hundred miles, the thousands of remnants finally fled to Guiling!
Guiling!
For the Wei State, this place is a pain in the hearts of all the people.
