Chapter 81: After the Great War
On the high ground, the battle had been going on for most of the morning. "The order goes down, the cavalry eats and hydrates, and after a quarter of an hour they listen to the order to attack." Murong Lin looked up at the sun, and the time was almost up.
The fierce battle was in full swing in front of the battle, and suddenly two Yan cavalry appeared, about thousands of cavalry. Quickly thrust into the two ribs of the Ming army's large array. This is not a guerrilla attack with a restrained surname, hit it, disturb it, and leave. It was a real impact, wanting to contain the Ming army on both flanks in order to relieve the pressure on the front army.
Liu Yu's face changed a little, the front was already blocked, and the cavalry on both wings were glued again, how could the cavalry who he put behind him attack? You won't be able to come out from behind! Wait to attack from behind, and then bypass the big formation and attack the Yan army camp. When the time comes, the daylilies will be cold!!
Murong Lin had such an idea, he just wanted to hold back the cavalry in the Ming army's array. And if the cavalry inside really turned out from behind the formation in the end, when they put aside the entanglement of the Yan army on both wings and adjusted their direction to kill forward, they would have plenty of time to prepare for it.
Murong Lin is very conceited, as long as he loses his sudden surname, he can be fully prepared. No matter how strong the opponent's cavalry is, there is not much threat to his own troops.
Murong Lin is deceitful, and Liu Yu is not stupid. If you really let Yan Jun block it. Then you can only be beaten passively, and it is difficult to fight back. Walking with a brow, looking at the battle that was not too smooth. Liu Yu frowned and waved his hand. The heralds around him quickly ran to give the order.
"Kill......"
The horn of the attack sounded, and the tens of thousands of cavalry, who had been waiting impatiently, urged them to sit down their horses. The mount slowly accelerated, the raging killing intent boiling in his heart.
The infantry, pikemen, sword and shield bearers, and heavy infantry who were still fighting just now quickly shrank into a group, and more than twenty wide gaps were cracked in the front of the wide battle array.
While the Ming infantry cracked a gap and let their own cavalry out, the Yan cavalry also took this opportunity to quickly break inside. The infantry of the Yan army was not idle, and when the Ming army changed its formation, they quickly killed, and really caught the Ming army by surprise.
Fortunately, although the Ming Forbidden Army has not experienced any war, it is really the elite of the elite. As the army of the Gongwei Jing Division, the training is also extremely hard.
Although I was caught off guard now, it didn't take long for me to react. And quickly organized a defense, successfully stabilized the formation, and blocked the opponent's desperate attack.
The sound of war drums in the sky, and the shouts of nearly 200,000 troops, completely blended together. The Ming army's great array is pouring out. At the same time, tens of thousands of cavalry in front of the camp also roared towards the more than 20,000 Yan cavalry in front of them
In the evening, blood stained the earth red and merged into a small stream. The sunset and blood are very dazzling. Screams, groans filled the land, and the battle had been going on for a whole day.
The soldiers on both sides were so tired that they couldn't even swing their weapons, and they couldn't even stand on their feet. Both sides have reached the point of exhaustion, and it is a little unwise to continue fighting, and the two sides tacitly strike and return to camp.
Liu Yu withdrew to Yuntai County, and private rooms were erected, circling the county town again and again. The two armies each pulled back their own bodies, and the fire at the baggage camp burned for a day and night, and a small forest not far from the camp was cut in half.
When a soldier becomes a soldier, he also pays attention to entering the soil for safety. But in another country, even if it is the elite of the forbidden army who dies, who will have the energy to transport the war dead back to their hometown on the battlefield, and they will be safe in the ground. Even if Liu Yu has the heart, he is powerless on this extremely tense battlefield. can only return to his hometown from a handful of ashes, and it is better to be a ghost in a foreign land.
The ashes were all mixed together, pulled back and buried all at once. Don't say it's a small soldier, it's a small officer such as the team leader, and it's all the same when it's hung up. Only mid-level officers above the rank of lieutenant will be listed separately for burial.
No way, in a state of war, there are not so many rules, and there is not much time and energy wasted on this. As the commander of the First Army, Liu Yu could not allow his soldiers to not return to their hometowns after death. Therefore, everyone was asked to search carefully and identify all the war dead separately.
But even so, many of the soldiers died, and they could not be identified at all, so they could only be hastily burned by the baggage battalion. Fortunately, those with military badges can recognize who is who, and the ashes may be sent back to their hometowns. Those who lost their military badges and couldn't make out their identification, so they could only mix up their ashes together, pull them back and bury them all at once.
Liu Yu has no good way to deal with this. What he can do is to lead the generals and pay tribute to these military souls buried in foreign lands. Personally bury the souls of these dead in battle, and erect monuments.
Looking at the huge grave in front of him, Liu Yu muttered to himself, "This is war!" I don't know how many people can't even see the ashes of their families! ”
But Liu Yu didn't find that any of the soldiers around him were lonely, on the contrary, because of Liu Yu's approach, they were all very excited, and their morale rose instead of falling. As a soldier, it is my duty to die in battle. I really didn't expect that the third prince would spend a lot of energy and want to return the fallen leaves of the war dead. This alone is enough to make all the soldiers grateful to Liu Yu, the third prince.
When this is done, even if the whole army works together, it will be busy until late at night.
In the county seat of Yuntai County, Liu Yu couldn't sleep at night. Looking at the map with a sad face, thinking about future plans. Only in this way can I barely suppress the guilt and uneasiness in my heart.
In a day's battle, not only did the soldiers suffer heavy casualties and were physically and mentally exhausted. Even Liu Yu was exhausted, he was really tired. After all, he had no experience in commanding large armies in battle, and the nervousness of command alone, and the composure when the battle situation was unfavorable, almost drove him crazy.
In wars between countries, the way of surprise attack is not a long-term way after all. It is based on the odd, the main one, and the odd is supplemented. A dignified and upright teacher, defeating the opponent is the king. Blindly relying on Qice will only harm yourself in the end.
Of course, Liu Yu understood this truth, so in today's battle, he personally commanded and confronted Murong Lin, the famous general of the Yan army. It is to exercise his command ability and the ability to fight with the big army.
I really took it for granted, thinking that with my own efforts and the art of war I knew before, even if I couldn't defeat Murong Lin, I could barely match the general line. In today's battle, Murong Lin taught Liu Yu a good lesson, so that Liu Yu understood that the huge gap between himself and the famous generals could not be narrowed by just a copy of the 'Art of War' and "Liutao".
This battle completely shattered the pride he gradually cultivated after defeating the elite of the 100,000 Yan army. Let him understand the cruelty and difficulty of the real legion war. If it weren't for the fact that he had been sitting in the center, no one in the forbidden army would dare to take a step back. Otherwise, the entire army formation is afraid that it will be completely crushed by the Yan army from the front.
Just when Liu Yu was remorseful, the number one intelligence leader beside him slowly walked in. Seeing that Liu Yu, who was worried, opened his mouth, but did not speak.
Li Xuan came in and did not deliberately hide his figure. Liu Yu quickly noticed something, smiled bitterly, and asked with some trembling, "Li Xuan, what are the losses of our army today?" ”
Holding the record book in his hand, Li Xuan sighed and said, "Your Highness, in this battle, our army lost more than 5,800 foot soldiers and 8,670 wounded, among which the pikemen at the forefront were the mainstay. There were 1,788 horsemen and more than 3,200 wounded. More than 3,700 horses were lost, and arrows were lost."
I really didn't expect that in today's battle, I would have suffered nearly one-fifth of the casualties, and this was still the casualties of ordinary soldiers. Sighed silently again: "What about the officers and colonels?" How much has been lost? ”
"The lieutenant will lose six, the lieutenant above the general will lose two, and the rest will not be lost." Speaking of which, Li Xuan couldn't help but be a little sarcastic, Zhou Yunfan and his henchmen not only did not rush forward in the process of fighting, but repeatedly dragged their feet. If it weren't for Li Xuan, a super master, they would have directly ruined the battle.
The lieutenant and the lieutenant general, when they are replaced by peacetime, are all members of the party. But today, a big war lost a few people. You must know that these losses are all on the front line, none of them are Zhou Yunfan's people, they are the objects that His Royal Highness can woo, but unfortunately they are all killed......
"For officers below the rank of lieutenant, nine soldiers were broken and eleven were wounded; Thirteen were wounded and eight were wounded; Fifty-six were wounded and forty-six were wounded; The team rate was more than 100 people and more than 100 were injured. ”
You must know that at the end of the war, Liu Yu came to the front line in person. When the generals saw that the three princes personally commanded and guarded the killing, they all tried desperately to stabilize the battle line. In this big battle, although Liu Yu's layout was not very good, he was almost broken through by his opponent head-on. But it also made the forbidden army reacquaint themselves with the legendary three princes, and their impression of the three princes changed greatly.
