Chapter 923: Post-War Matters

For some people who are flustered, retreat may be the best way to calm their mood, but there are also some who are puzzled. However, the withdrawal of troops was an order from above after all, so the shout of the Blue Army array soon sounded, "Hold your ground and be disciplined." ”

The withdrawal of troops is not a direct escape, if they retreat in the form of a rout, it will inevitably attract the pursuit of the other side, so it is necessary to retreat to the border, starting with the rear personnel, and all the soldiers to maintain the formation.

As soon as the Blues withdrew, those who had not yet made military achievements rose bravely and pursued the Blues one by one, causing a large number of casualties to occur in the Blues again. When the Blue Army gradually got rid of the pursuit of the Rao Army, there was a corpse left on the ground, and the hasty withdrawal of the army was a price after all, especially when the Rao Army did not forget to shoot arrows at them, the Blue Army who was negligent in guarding against it fell a lot.

After a while, after the Blues' archers counterattacked, the two sides were finally completely separated, and all the Blues slowly retreated to safety. At the same time, Rao's army, who was separated from the blue army by a stone's stone, seemed to be crazy, and one by one he took weapons and slashed at the corpses of the blue army on the ground, and then raised the heads they cut off one after another, and the scene was extremely bloody. Rao Jun's murderous and incomprehensible behavior made the blue army tremble when they saw it.

"General Zhang, what are the Rao troops doing?" Under the viewing stage, looking at the heads of those Rao troops grabbing their own personnel like fighting for the spoils of war, and then laughing, Shi Jiangchuan frowned and his face became more and more ugly.

"If the general is not mistaken, those puppet troops have already regarded the heads of our army as war exploits, and they want to use their war exploits to get rid of the Rao army's control over them," Thinking of the news sent back by the previous personnel, Zhang Jiutian could easily see the purpose of those puppet armies.

"Shall we take advantage of the chaos to kill back?" A trace of anger flashed in his eyes, Shi Jiangchuan couldn't stand the actions of those puppet soldiers.

"There's no chance," Zhang Jiutian shook his head, watching the heavy shield soldiers of the Rao army walk to the front of the battlefield and slowly surround those crazy puppet troops, Zhang Jiutian knew that no matter what soldiers he sent, it would be impossible to bargain, unless he really wanted to fight to the death with the other party. But those crazy puppet troops will not let them get their wish, they lost this war, and they can only watch the other side insult the corpses of their own personnel.

"General Zhang, we lost," some embarrassed generals rushed over, looking at Zhang Jiutian with sad faces, but in the face of such an ending, what could Zhang Jiutian do. Without speaking, Zhang Jiutian just silently drew all his eyes to the man standing still on the viewing platform, and that person's gaze was still on the battlefield two hundred meters away that could not be seen at a glance.

With so many crazy figures shaking, so many bloody heads, seeing his own soldiers being insulted like that, Lin Xuanzhong's anger rose in his heart, and he repeatedly thought about whether to let the army fight back and kill the other party's people without leaving a single piece of armor, but Lin Xuanzhong had too many scruples in his heart.

The Rao army is still in the wartime round formation, and the commander of the Rao army is still in the center of the big formation and has never moved, and those puppet troops have gone crazy and can't look at them with normal eyes. After seeing Rao Jun's methods with his own eyes, Lin Xuanzhong was a little timid. In addition, in the battle just now, the losses of the Blues have exceeded expectations.

If Rao Jun was really just testing them, then the price paid by the Blue Army today was too great for Lin Xuanzhong to feel unbearable. Now the Rao army is in formation again, the rows of shield walls look extremely strong, and the momentum of the Rao army makes Lin Xuanzhong prohibitive. Under all kinds of concerns, Lin Xuanzhong crushed the anger in his heart again and again, and his restless eyes finally calmed down.

From the beginning to the end of the battle, Lin Xuanzhong, who had not been able to participate in the battle in person, did not like the feeling of defeat, and now when the general below looked over, those eyes with doubts and expectations made Lin Xuanzhong completely calm down. With a turn, Lin Xuanzhong walked directly down from the viewing platform, and returned to Zhang Jiutian and the others in countless glances.

"The whole army is ready to fight, as soon as the enemy army leaves, be sure to bring back the corpses of all the soldiers," Lin Xuanzhong felt an indescribable shame under a heavy snort.

"Yes," Lin Xuanzhong's instructions were very simple, unacceptably simple, but apart from going into battle, they were left with this choice, so Zhang Jiutian had no objection to this at this time.

Lin Xuanzhong's heavy tone made the other generals realize that Lin Xuanzhong was trying to restrain his emotions, but some people felt that Lin Xuanzhong didn't need to be like this.

"General, do we still have the strength to fight again?" I don't know how many soldiers and horses have been lost today, and some of the generals who were originally high-spirited felt sorry for Lin Xuanzhong at the moment, so they wanted Lin Xuanzhong to vent their anger.

"Array," understood what the general meant, but Lin Xuanzhong had decided to avoid the battle, and just wanted to force the other party's people away as soon as possible.

"Yes," the other generals agreed, and Zhang Jiutian immediately turned to the front of the large formation and asked the soldiers to line up again.

Under the attention of a group of personnel, the originally scattered personnel began to move, and it didn't take long for the array of the Blue Army to be as neat as when they first arrived, and the confidence of the generals was greatly improved.

On the other side, after a period of chaos in the Rao army, all the puppet troops retreated according to the order, until they withdrew from the battlefield area, leaving only a mess of corpses. Those puppet soldiers not only took away the loot that could prove their exploits, but also some weapons, and the rest of the things that could be called trophies were taken away by the Rao army.

The Rao army withdrew very slowly, but there was no chaos at all, the top of the Rao army seemed to be very capable in controlling the overall situation, except for some chaos in the puppet army, the real Rao army advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. If Rao Jun is a group of bandits, it is also organized and disciplined bandits, and an organization with these characteristics is undoubtedly terrifying.

During the evacuation of the Rao army, many of the Blue Army soldiers who thought that Lin Xuanzhong had let them line up was to kill them again, some of them did want to seek revenge from the Rao army, but others were a little lacking in confidence. But no matter what, Lin Xuanzhong actually just wanted to force those Rao troops back. If the Rao army does not retreat, Lin Xuanzhong will personally lead the troops to repel the Rao army, but the Rao army will not deliberately provoke, because the current blue army is no longer the blue army just now. As long as Lin Xuanzhong gives an order, everyone will be united and fight again, and the outcome is unpredictable.

"The enemy didn't chase after him," a Rao army general said with some joy after seeing that the blue army did not fight back as Leng Yi expected, and retreated a few miles away.

"What are they going to do after them?"

"We don't have to fear them coming after us, as long as those puppets are there, the Blues have no chance of winning. ”

"I didn't expect those puppet soldiers to be terrible!"

"That's natural, and the next time we go to war with the Blues, they're only going to be more aggressive. ”

"After suffering a defeat, presumably we won't fight again without waiting for all the troops to arrive, and the next time should be a decisive battle between our two sides!"

"As it should be. ”

The generals of the Rao army talked and laughed, and they all looked relaxed. Here, on the other hand, the Blues are either sad or angry. In order to wait for the Rao army to withdraw, I waited for almost half an hour, and as the defeated side, no one could be in a good mood.

"Collect the corpses of the soldiers and bury them, and make sure that Rao Jun will not come back," Rao Jun walked farther and farther, and gave two orders, today's battle is over, and Lin Xuanzhong doesn't want to stay here any longer. As for the specific casualties, it will take a while to come out, and for the time being, Lin Xuanzhong is not in a hurry to know the result, nor does he want to know the result.

Recalling the helplessness they were in the face of Rao's army, Lin Xuanzhong realized how bad their pre-war preparations were. I wanted to blame the people below for being unfavorable, but I felt that I neglected to pay attention to the military, so I didn't say anything on the spot. In today's battle, it is true that they lost.

"I have a heavy trust, please ask the general to surrender," After confirming that Rao's army had left, the generals got down from their horses and asked Lin Xuanzhong for their guilt.

"Let's talk about it later," glancing at the leading people, Lin Xuanzhong had a feeling that he had nothing to say. Defeated today, Lin Xuanzhong originally intended to bear all the responsibility.

"Yes," a dozen generals agreed, and then went their separate ways to deal with the aftermath of the war. Speaking of which, today's war also made them feel a lot. Everyone has a lot of ideas about the reasons for the defeat, of course, part of the reason is because of Lin Xuanzhong.

As soon as those generals left, Lin Xuanzhong noticed the depressed soldiers around him. As soon as Rao's army left, all that was left for the soldiers was humiliation, and everyone's anger was destined to not be vented in time. The oppressive atmosphere hit everyone's heart, and the morale of the Blues continued to decline, and there was no longer the high-pitched attitude that it had when it came.

When Zhang Jiutian and the other generals separated tens of thousands of personnel to collect the corpses, Lin Xuanzhong and the rest of the personnel continued to wait against a round of bright sun, waiting for the matter here to end.

At the same time, the location of the camp, Xue Yin, who had already calculated the outcome of today's battle, stood at the door of the tent with a worried face, looking at the direction of the battlefield from afar. Because the so-called result is the general trend, and the general trend is not something that ordinary people can change, at least at present, Xue Yin does not have that ability. Forced changes are counterproductive.

In the blink of an eye, it was late afternoon, and it took more than an hour for the huge battlefield to finally be cleared, and by this time, the Rao army was almost back in their camp.

The pile of mutilated corpses made many people feel like they couldn't look at them directly, and some even vomited on the spot. The air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood, and the strong smell made the generals cover their mouths and noses, such a cruel sight that even the generals could not look at directly.
