Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
After Li Ru fell off his horse, fortunately, the soldiers around him knew him, and there were many guards around him. These guards could not play the slightest role in resisting the boulder for Li Ru, but when Li Ru fell off his horse, they showed their value. Otherwise, it is very likely that Li Ru did not die under the attack of the catapult, but died in the chaos of his own side. That's really a joke.
Several guards quickly dismounted, helped Li Ru up, and followed closely behind Dong Zhuo.
At this time, Dong Zhuo may also think that he is safe, and finally stopped, but he still didn't dare to let Lu Bu leave left and right, so he only ordered him to be careful around him. He was now frightened by the elusive army of White Cloud City.
Turning his head to look at Li Ru, who was more wolf than himself, Dong Zhuo's heart was a lot more balanced, but his anger towards Sunshine did not decrease at all, and he said hatefully: "Sunshine is really hateful!" Not only did I lose a lot of people this time, but I almost lost my life. In the future, as long as I seize the opportunity, I will not let him die well! ”
Li Ru relieved himself a little and said: "Taishi, this time we are afraid that we will not only lose the people, but also a large number of soldiers will also die or be scattered in this battle, and even some baggage will not have time to be transported away, and in the end, the sun will take advantage." ”
Dong Zhuo was furious when he heard this, and said, "How can this be true! What does the army do? Didn't I order the Flying Bear Army to be in charge of escorting the baggage? How can there be a baggage cart that is not pulled out? ”
Li Ru smiled bitterly: "The lord didn't know, the scene was very chaotic at that time, and countless army soldiers just wanted to quickly rush through that section of the official road adjacent to the river, so although the strength of the Flying Bear Army was amazing, it was also powerless against the huge flow of people, and in the end they could only watch some baggage trucks being abandoned to the back of the team." But fortunately, there are not many of these abandoned baggage trucks. The lord doesn't have to worry about these heavy trucks. And now what we should be most worried about is what to do next? You must know that there is more than one place from here to Luoyang that is adjacent to the river, and if we don't want to come up with a countermeasure, we will still be the target of the Baiyun City fleet at that time. ”
Dong Zhuo's face was cloudy for a while, how could he not hear the meaning of Li Ru's words? What he wanted to say was that it was precisely because he had rejected Sunshine's mention before that he caused the current incident, otherwise, Sunshine had now withdrawn from Sili, how could he attack him?
Dong Zhuo is also a little regretful now, although the loss this time is lower than the reward that Sunshine wanted to ask for before. But it's just a battle! As Li Ru said just now, on the next journey, there are many roads adjacent to the Yellow River like this, and if he is harassed by the sun every time, I am afraid that he will lead a large army to Chang'an. It's hard to say how many people will be left.
Of course, these are only their inferences now, and the exact situation will not be known until the whole team has traveled through Guò. Li Ru didn't touch Dong Zhuo's moldy head at this time, and quietly waited for the team to return to the team in order to count the losses.
And this waited until the second half of the night, when all the remaining troops and civilians came out of that section of the official road. The last people have already come out in pieces, and their faces have shown a numb look, especially those people, I am afraid that today has experienced more fears than in a lifetime.
It's not that these people haven't seen dead people. On the contrary, they had already seen quite a few dead people along the way, so they did not have the slightest fear of the dead. But the point is that the way those people died now is too terrifying, and they are basically smashed into flesh by boulders. Some even had their eyeballs smashed out and fell far away. Such a scene for ordinary people. It's a little too bloody.
In the end, Li Ru was responsible for counting the losses in this battle, and the results were quickly reported to Dong Zhuo, which made Dong Zhuo a little unbelievable.
In the entire team, the number of troops lost was nearly a million, although most of these troops were just ordinary soldiers, but this number was too much compared to all the five million troops under Dong Zhuo's command. As for whether the million troops died or were captured by Baiyun City, it was not something that Li Ru could count.
At the same time, in this battle, more than 70 million people disappeared, some died under the flying arrows, but many more were captured by Yang Tian.
In addition, there were almost 20 lost baggage trucks, with a total value of about 300,000 taels of gold. This part of the loss can be said to be the smallest in the entire war, but it is also this part that Dong Zhuo is most distressed about.
In fact, today's biggest loss of personnel is not from the catapults installed on the ship, but from the archers on the ship, at least eighty percent of the soldiers who died were killed by the arrows of these archers, which was completely beyond the expectations of Dong Zhuo and others, the fleet of Baiyun City was strong, and there were so many archers, and all of them were eighth-order strength, how could those forces close to the water survive?
Li Ru hesitated for a while, and finally said to Dong Zhuo: "Lord, in the opinion of our subordinates, it is better for us to agree with his construction." As the saying goes, the Qinshan Mountain is here, not afraid of no firewood, as long as we can reach Chang'an along the way, and wait for the day when the East Mountain rises again, we can find the sunshine to settle today's humiliation! ”
However, Dong Zhuo's mind is not so open-minded, or he still has the last glimmer of hope in his heart, that is, Sunshine has reaped enough benefits this time, and he may not continue to follow his team. Therefore, he still rejected Li Ru's suggestion.
Li Ru sighed lightly in his heart, and then retreated, continuing to reorganize the team, striving to leave early.
……
When Dong Zhuo left the attack range of his army, Yang Tian did not continue to attack the opponent's army, after all, he was not to directly exterminate Dong Zhuo's army, but just to teach Dong Zhuo a lesson and let him know how to choose.
Destroying Dong Zhuo's army will not do him the slightest benefit, so he will face a choice, how to deal with Liu Xie's problem. Kill him? Yang Tian didn't have the courage yet, after all, Liu Xie's life still involved the nerves of the princes in the world. If you make a move at this time, you will inevitably become a public enemy of the world. But if you don't kill him, will you bring him back to your own territory? To be honest, Yang Tian really didn't have that idleness.
Therefore, after Yang Tian let the more than 100 transport ships run back and forth for two rounds, he got nearly 10 million people, and he stopped contentedly. Just waiting for Dong Zhuo to give him an answer, or waiting for him to enter the next section of the official road adjacent to the Yellow River, and continue to teach him some lessons, Yang Tian is not in a hurry at all, anyway, he has time to slowly consume with Dong Zhuo.
