Chapter 376: The Disaster of Innocence
The group took advantage of the night and kept running wildly, although there were pursuers behind them, but they were thrown farther and farther away.
People and people's physique can not be generalized, the Weishui Army is a person who has lived in the mountains for a long time, and has a strong martial arts and realm.
Compared with the Western Frontier Army stationed around the bustling city, it is like a fish in water in the wilderness at night, no matter how the Western Frontier soldiers chase after it, they can't catch up.
Soon, a group of soldiers of the Weishui Army came to the gate of Youyuan Fortress one after another, and the soldiers guarding the city had already seen everyone, so they had already informed the guards at the city gate and were ready to respond.
A team of 500 people returned to the fortress one after another, but the losses were somewhat large, and a total of 3,000 soldiers went out in this night attack, but only 2,300 people returned.
In this way, there are 700 people who died outside, and 700 soldiers of the master realm have suffered such heavy losses, for the current Weishui army, this casualty ratio is already very high.
After all, there were only more than 10,000 people in the entire Weishui army, and only more than 6,000 of them had reached the master realm, and nearly 1,000 were lost in a night attack.
If there were a few more night raids, wouldn't it be to exhaust all the defenders of the entire Youyuan Fortress?
However, although the losses of the Weishui Army were somewhat large for everyone, the losses of the Western Frontier Army were even greater, the grain and grass were burned, and the casualties totaled 30,000, of which the number of deaths of the Western Frontier Army was as high as 28,000.
However, most of them were quietly wiped out by the Weishui army who infiltrated the camp, burned to death by campfires, and trampled to death.
The number of soldiers of the Western Frontier Army who died in the head-on confrontation was less than 10,000.
Attacking the camp with 3,000 nights, killing and wounding 30,000 enemy troops, killing 28,000 enemy troops, burning countless grain and grass and destroying six camps, this record is extremely dazzling no matter how you look at it.
It's just that even so, the Weishui Army is a little broken, although more than 10,000 defenders look a lot, but they lost nearly 1,000 in one battle.
This battle damage is a little unacceptable to everyone, how to make people happy when they die so much when they go out of the city to fight.
Therefore, even if a few people feel that it is not suitable to fight again, they only need to defend the fortress well and use the spirit cannon to defend against the enemy.
In the room of the city tower, Ye Xing looked at the people below and asked softly, "You all think like this?"
Ye Xing asked Qin Sheng and the others, they went out of the city to fight this time, and felt that the losses were too great, so they hoped that Ye Xing would no longer send soldiers to attack the camp.
After all, this loss is really a little unbearable for the Weishui Army, and Qin Sheng and the others witnessed their robes dying in front of them, so they were a little touched.
"Yes, Childe, I only hope that I will never send a large group of men out of the city to fight in the future. Qin Sheng stood up and arched his hand.
"Childe, I hope to cancel the dispatch of a large group of men and horses to fight, the number of troops in the western frontier is too large, although I can go out of the city to fight, although the gain is great, but the loss is not small. ”
"It's okay once or twice, but if there are too many times, I'm afraid that the strength of the Weishui Army will not be able to support it. ”
Li Mu followed Qin Sheng's words and said.
"Oh, then you mean to defend the city?" Ye Xing looked at a few people with interest.
Several other guards who went out to fight this time bowed their heads deeply when they heard this, and they could be said to be full of self-confidence when they went out to fight this time.
The beginnings went well, but when they were looking for food and grass, they were locked in a bitter battle.
There were so many soldiers in the camp, there were only 500 men in each team, and a guard captain with five centurions, a total of 500 troops against a camp of 6,000 men, but it was really a little difficult.
At first, it was okay, it was a harassment, and it was a big advantage to attack it by surprise, but once they were gathered by the soldiers in the camp, then they could only fall into endless melee.
It can be said that almost all of the 3,000 Weishui troops who went out to raid and rob the camp at night fell into a bitter battle, and in the end, there were almost everywhere soldiers of the Western Frontier Army.
In that case, they can still come back more than 2,000 people, but it is indeed extremely difficult.
In the first battle, in the eyes of everyone, there were more failures than successes, but in the eyes of the Western Frontier Army, this time the night raid and robbery of the camp by the Weishui Army was their shame.
The reason is naturally because their losses are somewhat heavy, although they don't know how many people from the Weishui Army are coming, but the total number of corpses of the Weishui Army is only 700, and the number of them killed in the battle is as high as more than 20,000.
Although most of them were quietly wiped on their necks and trampled to death by fire, this is still a shame for the Western Army.
And Shen Chi, the newly appointed commander, was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot after learning the news, and he was about to send a large army to attack the city with all his might.
In the end, he was held back by dozens of his subordinates, persuaded to wait until the siege equipment was built before attacking, and the matter could be regarded as over.
However, in Shen Chi's opinion, it was over, but it was not really over on Commander Yu's side.
This time, they attacked Youyuan Fortress, originally trying to act as secretly as possible, although the movement of the army will always be noticed.
But no one knew their true purpose, and they killed those who witnessed the march during the march.
So the news was quite tightly covered, but other things that followed gradually exposed them.
This time, the Yu commander carried a total of 190,000 troops, known as 200,000.
He lost 20,000 troops outside the mountains first, and later attacked Youyuan Fortress dozens or hundreds of times, and also lost 70,000 troops one after another.
If you add the 30,000 troops lost this time, the entire Western Territory Army besieging outside Youyuan Fortress is already less than 100,000.
Imagine losing so many soldiers and horses, can Shen Chi, who has just taken office, be able to please in front of Commander Yu?
Therefore, Commander Yu naturally sent Shen Chi a creation, scolded three hundred military sticks, and then ordered him to continue the attack.
The reason why there are only three hundred military sticks is because of the loss of this night attack, and it really can't be all due to Shen Chi, although there are reasons why Shen Chi summoned the commander of the camp.
But more often than not, the defense and night guard patrols of the various camps of the Western Frontier Army were not well done.
Therefore, Commander Yu gave Shen Chi 300 military sticks to deepen his memory, and at the same time, it was also to make Shen Chi wake up and plan the siege plan.
Using catapults to suppress the spirit cannon, so that the army can attack the city, in the eyes of the Yu commander, there is still some use, after all, their siege equipment cannot be brought into the mountains now.
If you want to have auxiliary siege equipment, then building a catapult that has long been eliminated to assist in siege must have a certain meaning and help.
On this day, Shen Chi lay on the recliner on the camp platform, looking at the location of Youyuan Fortress from afar.
"How's it going?" asked Shen Chi aloud.
"Returning to the commander, at present, the army is working with all its might, and 2,000 catapults have been made. Banners were hunting around the camp, and an adjutant general bowed and said.
"Continue to rush to work, it hurts me to death, this is a disaster. Shen Chi screamed bitterly, only feeling that his buttocks were painful and hot, but he didn't dare to move.
"Do you want to take some more medicine in the commander?" The henchmen couldn't cry or laugh, but they were helpless.
Who asked his own commander to summon the camp commander to the camp to discuss the matter, and as a result, someone took advantage of the loophole and raided the camp at night.
