Chapter 689, Dingnanhai
Sending Zhang Jin away, the results of the battle of Panyu also came out.
Of the initial 3.5 million troops, only about 800,000 could enter Panyu City alive, of which less than 500,000 could continue to fight, and perhaps another 100,000 or so could be added in the future, and the rest had to retire or die in treatment.
More than eighty percent of the losses show the fierceness of the battle. If it weren't for the last-minute collapse of the Jiaozhou coalition army, the losses would have been heavier, and they might not necessarily be able to take Panyu City.
Fortunately, everything is over, although the loss is a little heavier, but the goal is still achieved. Among the nearly 500,000 people, the number of bloody soldiers reached 120,000, which is quite high.
Moreover, Bai Jian advanced to the 8th rank, and a group of people such as Lu Meng and Dong Xi advanced to the 7th level, and trained a special type of troops, the Bloody Guard, and occupied a piece of territory in Jiaozhou, laying the foundation for entering Jiaozhou.
Although Panyu City was depressed a lot, it was not fought outside - it was fought outside, and many prisoners were surrendered, and in the end, more than 1.5 million people were willing to surrender - fortunately, these people did not die in the end, and avoided a catastrophe for the Panyu people. Among these prisoners, there were as many as 500,000 elite soldiers in a hundred battles, which effectively supplemented the battle losses.
Of course, these Jiaozhou locals cannot be used for other attacks on other counties and counties in Jiaozhou, so the 300 troops brought by He Qi in the future are the vital force to stabilize the South China Sea, and after screening, a small part of the captives will be disrupted and scattered to each county to be on duty, and most of them will be taken away from Jiaozhou to defend against enemies in other directions.
He Qi's trip was not only to ensure the victory of the Battle of the South China Sea, but also to prepare for the attack on other counties in Jiaozhou. There is nothing to do in Jiangdong for the time being, and Liu Feng even sent Dian Wei over to the battlefield for training.
Of course, rest and recuperation are necessary, and after a long period of rest, after the officials sent by Wu County have straightened out the counties, they can not move troops again.
After Zhang Jin and his entourage arrived in Wu County, Liu Feng immediately asked Xun You and others to study the reward for individuals. Meritorious promotions, rewards that deserve rewards, and bereavement pensions - Liu Feng has never postponed this. In the end, Bai Jian was promoted to General Annan and Jiaozhou Assassin History; Buqi led the South China Sea Taishou; Lü Meng was promoted to partial general, the fourth president, and stationed on the front line of the army; General Zhang Chengsheng, the chief of Zhongsu...... The rest of the people also had their own rewards, and once they came down, dozens of generals and generals appeared. Although he doesn't even have a miscellaneous name, he is also a general after all. After Zhang Jin surrendered, he temporarily served in General Wei's mansion.
And the matter of training the troops was handed over to He Qi, and Bai Jian's main task was to make up the bloody guards.
After training the special troops, it can already be recruited normally, although it is difficult to meet the conditions, but after all, it is not that there is no clue before. Before the August of the twelfth year of Jian'an, Bai Jian still replenished nearly 1,000 people, and the number of bloody guards reached 2,000, and there was still a one-third shortage.
The bloody soldiers at the base, coupled with the bloodthirsty characteristics of the Bloody Guards, show the strength of this special unit.
……
In August of the twelfth year of Jian'an, Bai Jian was once again appointed as the main general, He Qi and Liu Ye were the deputies, and Lu Meng was the vanguard, and he went west to Cangwu. Buqi stayed in the South China Sea, dispatched military supplies, and ensured logistics supplies.
The battle of Cangwu was predictable, and Shi Yi was also ready to directly assemble the army in Duanxi County, which was urgently reinforced, for defense.
The Shi family is a local tyrant in Jiaozhou, with rich financial resources and sufficient troops, and they have entangled players from Cangwu and Jiaozhi counties to help in the war, so the progress is even slower.
In Duanxi City, the Jiangdong Army was blocked for half a year, and it was not until February of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, after paying huge casualties, that the city was breached, and tens of thousands of defenders were allowed to flee.
The next battle is Guangxin, Cangwu Zhisuo, and the lair of the scholars.
It turns out that the famous earth head snake is not easy to fight, and the battle of Guangxin is more difficult than Panyu, because the city must be attacked from the beginning, and the side defending the city has a great advantage. After all, the Shi family is a local tyrant, and there is no shortage of anything, even if the city is besieged, there will be no shortage of materials within a year or two. But Liu Feng definitely can't spend so long here, and he doesn't know how long he will continue to spend it, so he can only attack the city.
Then, Hepu County and Yulin County each sent more than 100,000 reinforcements and mobilized some players to participate in the battle. Therefore, in terms of troops, Guangxin is not less than the previous Panyu.
It is foreseeable that this battle is probably the last battle in Jiaozhou, and Liu Feng will continue to send troops to Bai Jian in the rear to ensure that Guangxin City is taken and the Shijia is defeated.
……
In order to continue training, Liu Feng sent the garrisons of various counties to train in turn, so that the overall strength of the Jiangdong Army was greatly improved. Today's Jiangdong, except for the new soldiers, have become elite, of which the elite soldiers above the hundred battles occupy a considerable proportion, more soldiers have advanced to become bloody soldiers, although the number of Jiangdong Army has decreased due to two or three consecutive years of fighting, but the combat effectiveness is gradually improving.
Maybe it's because of Bai Jian's advancement, the arrival of the eighth-order era, so that Liu Feng's promotion to the seventh order has become much easier, and in the past year or so, there have been historical generals advancing, even if many people are not in the battle at all. This also proves that the battlefield is not the only way to advance, as long as you accumulate it, you can naturally advance.
The Eighth Order will be another huge bottleneck, maybe like this time, only by waiting for the first Ninth Order under his command to appear will it make the advancement of others easier.
In June of the thirteenth year of Jian'an, as the Jiangdong Army continued to increase troops in Jiaozhou, Jingnan, which had been fighting for many years, finally temporarily ceased fighting. I don't know what promises the Shi family made, the aborigines of the three parties in Jingnan plus the four forces of Yunshui City have the meaning of forming a coalition to support Jiaozhou. At the same time that Liu Feng asked Luling to guard Lu Su to prepare for war, he sent a message to Zhang Yi that as long as he was in Jingnan for a day, the Jiangdong Army would never enter Jingnan for half a step, and promised to increase support for Zhang Yi, and finally made Zhang Yi give up the idea of unity. Because only Zhang Yi's territory borders Jiaozhou, Zhang Yi does not agree, and the coalition army naturally cannot be formed, Zhang Yi is not lacking in heart to the point of borrowing the enemy's way, in case they come to a false way, he has no place to cry.
In March of the fourteenth year of Jian'an, the battle of Guangxin had reached the last moment, and even Shikun came to Cangwu from Jiaozhi. Just when the eyes of the whole country were focused on Guangxin, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang sent troops into Yulin County, and successively captured Guangyu, Linchen, and Zengshi counties, and placed the county commander and Taishou, which had a tendency to cut off the Jiangdong Army into Jiaozhi, and continued to increase troops, wanting to directly take Yulin County. For a time, the whole country was stunned.
Public opinion was in an uproar, and the players on the forum who had been silent because of this protracted battle became noisy again, all wanting to see how Liu Feng dealt with it.
But before the tide could rise, it was replaced by another major event.
The first player to advance to Tier 7 appeared.
