Chapter 244

"Meet General Zhao," because the military rank was lower than Zhao Xu, several people still saluted Zhao Xu very politely. Of course, as the generals who played the biggest role in defending the city this time, their momentum was completely different from usual, and their words were full of the strength of the winner. That kind of momentum even overshadowed Zhao Xu at this time.

"Several generals work hard," Zhao Xu was not the slightest dissatisfied with the attitude of several people, because Zhao Xu knew that the seven of them were the biggest heroes, and handed the Pu knife to a subordinate next to him, Zhao Xu immediately turned over and dismounted, and helped the seven bloodied generals up without any scruples, and then said with a smile: "This time, thanks to several generals, the defenders are not afraid of hardships and dangers, and the bridge was successfully broken."

"Where, we are just acting on the orders of the general," Seeing that Zhao Xu was so polite to them, several generals didn't dare to bow too much and hurriedly responded modestly.

Seeing that several people mentioned his brother, Zhao Xu couldn't help but turn around and look at the city tower. At this moment, Zhao Wu was standing on the city tower and watched the evacuation of the Snow Army with a calm face, and there were two wounded arrow battalion generals standing next to him.

At this time, Zhao Wu noticed the people under the city, nodded slightly at Zhao Xu, and walked towards the city tower with the two generals.

"Go back to the city," Zhao Wu affirmed, and blurted out two words, Zhao Xu wanted to go back immediately with a happy face. Tonight, the battle is a shame, and the night army is happy to kill up and down. As the commander of the three battalions, Zhao Xu is naturally the most happy.

"Yes," those generals gladly accepted the order, and they also wanted to go to Zhao Wu immediately to restore their lives, because what awaited them was Zhao Wu's reward.

Following Zhao Xu to turn the direction together, more than a dozen generals walked towards the city gate with an unusually high spirit, and those soldiers in the rear consciously made way so that their generals could pass.

Immediately afterward, the Night Army followed their general back to the city. The battle is over, their blood boiling feeling has passed, all the snow army gradually calmed down, and some even vomited because of the stumps all over the ground, but this only made more people smile.

Not long after, all the soldiers returned to the city, and under the instructions of their superiors, many of them were already busy dealing with their injuries. Those who were not injured were ordered to clear the battlefield. The Snow Army suffered too many casualties, leaving too many horses and weapons behind, and the living war horses were trophies, which were of great use to the Night Army, and those weapons could supplement the wear and tear of the battle tonight, after all, it was very common for weapons to break during the battle.

Not long after, all the generals of the Night Army returned to the castle.

"Meet the general," more than a dozen people walked to the main hall with swift steps, and bowed to Zhao Wu under the leadership of Zhao Xu.

"Excuse me, tonight's battle is a big victory, all the generals have worked hard, and the generals will be rewarded for their merits, but not now. ”

"General Xie," with Zhao Wu's words, no matter when they were rewarded, General Yigan was relieved at the moment.

"General, what should I do next?" As Brother Zhao Wu, Zhao Xu spoke very directly.

General Han quickly led people to clean up the corpses in the river to prevent the enemy from returning. Zhao Wu sat in front of the tent bank and ordered, "Pay attention to the corpses of our soldiers in the river, and they must be distinguished according to the different services." ”

"Zhao Xu, you are responsible for leading some personnel to clean up the battlefield outside the city, it is still the same, you must separate the corpses of our army and the enemy. ”

"The last general commanded. ”

"General Li, you and General Wei are responsible for leading people to clean up the battlefield in the city. ”

"Humble command. ”

"General Shi, you and General Zhao will go to clean up first, and then come back to lead troops to help clean up the battlefield. ”

"Yes. In a blink of an eye, Zhao Wu had already issued several military orders, and the generals below all received orders.

"Now is not the time to celebrate, and everyone must not make mistakes in following military orders. In the end, Zhao Wu's tone suddenly became majestic.

"If nothing else, you can carry out the military order immediately. ”

"Yes," the generals did not dare to disobey, and hurriedly left the hall under the leadership of Zhao Xu, although some of them were injured and tired, but there was no abnormality in Zhao Wu's military orders, because since the battle situation changed, everyone admired Zhao Wusheng very much, and would not question Zhao Wu's orders at all.

By this time, the city pass had been quiet for a long time. Those who were watching the war from afar gradually realized that the war was over.

There is no sound, either the defenders are all dead, or the snow army retreats, maybe because of the previous snow army attacking the city gate, many people think that it will not be the first possibility, only the three people like Lin Xuanzhong are close to the city pass, and they can know from the sound that the defenders won.

I don't know how the Snow Army lost to the Night Army, in short, the three of them can only wait for the Big Niu Brother to come back and ask, now they just need to know that there is no danger for the three of them to stay here.

"General Zhao Wu is really wise and powerful," after the hanging heart was put down, Ming Buregret praised happily at this moment, although he didn't know where Zhao Wu Yingming Shenwu was.

On the other side, Qing Yi and Lin Xuanzhong were more curious about how the night army could turn defeat into victory after being breached by the city gate, although they heard some sounds about the drawbridge, but the three of them did not hear it clearly, because the sound of weapons hitting there had been very loud.

After thinking about it, back to the fundamental issue, the three of them desperately hoped that nothing had happened to the Da Niu brothers. At this time, the city pass was still brightly lit, even if it was not as bright as before, the three of them still wanted to take a look at the city pass.

It had only been an hour since the battle began, and it was not even early in the morning, so tonight was destined to be an unquiet night. After calming down outside, the three of them returned to the house and lay down on their beds a little tired.

Despite some exhaustion, no one was in the mood to sleep. At the same time, the night army in Chengguan was busy, and the battlefield was too chaotic and needed to be cleaned up for a long time. The city gate has been completely destroyed, and it is a matter of whether it is repaired or not, and there are too many things for the night army to do.

It is worth mentioning that there are no more than 10,000 corpses of the snow army fished out of the river, but there are only the corpses of those ambush soldiers who died in the river. For the entire army, the death toll of Hanoi's night army is negligible, but in terms of the significance of the battle, the effect of those 200 men may be more than 20,000. Now, although they have died in battle, they are all meritorious men, and their corpses should be honored by the living Night Army.

According to the orders of Zhao Xu and the other generals, the corpses of the Xue Army were all moved outside the city and piled up into several corpse piles. The corpses of the night army were carried to the city by the defenders, waiting for the people of Huangyan Pass to claim them.

At this moment, there are night soldiers everywhere in the city and outside the city, as long as the people who still have the ability to move are busy at the moment, everyone has a feeling of not feeling tired, as if in the face of a huge victory, exhaustion is really just a feeling, and it will not affect their bodies.

While cleaning up the battlefield and talking about the battle just now, many night soldiers talked and laughed, and the joy of victory was full of joy in the night army, of course, many night soldiers were sad for those brothers, who were still alive but some were dead. Especially on the city wall, the three-meter-wide night army lying on the top is the most, without their brave resistance, it is difficult to have the victory of the night army, so the night army killed on the city wall is also respected.

Tens of thousands of troops were busy until the morning, when the battlefield was cleared, and by early morning everyone was exhausted, and they had walked around all night in the pungent smell of blood, and they had no appetite at the moment.

After those who rested first came to replace those who were still busy to go back to rest, about 30,000 night soldiers could finally go back to clean and rest, and many people sighed that it was more difficult to clean up the battlefield than they fought with the snow army when they went back to rest, and if they could, they would rather face off against the snow army on the battlefield. Of course, this is just a feeling.

In fact, although last night's battle was won, it still wore out the courage of many people, after all, it was war that many of them had not experienced before, and the brutal battle brought them a great impact. Especially when they calm down, some people show a state of weakness as if they can't withstand the terrifying impact.

If Zhao Wu directly asked everyone to go back to rest first last night, under the condition of high nervous tension, many extremely tired soldiers may not be able to sleep and cannot rest as usual, so when Zhao Wu was on patrol, he deliberately asked those who wanted to go back to go back, and those who wanted to stay stayed.

Only those generals have not rested, even if they themselves can't bear that kind of pressure, but according to Zhao Wu's orders, they still keep using words to ease the emotions of ordinary soldiers, so that the soldiers who calm down become sad and indignant, and have normal emotions, can help the soldiers get out of that panic stage.

If there is really a person who is in a state of collapse, it is naturally a weak person in the barracks. Early in the morning, the morning sun slowly rises over the eastern horizon, and the newly arrived Night Nation soldiers do the final cleaning with smiles on their faces. There was too much blood on the ground near the city gate, and the smell was too strong. If they don't wash it with water, they won't be able to defend the city in the future.

As with the bloodstains on the ground, there are also many places on the walls that are bloodstained and need to be cleaned. Those bloodstains confirmed the cruelty of last night's war, and highlighted the preciousness of victory. Although these soldiers are tired, they are tired willingly.

This morning, the generals had already counted the casualties, and not counting the corpses taken away on the other side of the riverbank, the Snow Army had suffered more than 43,000 casualties. If you count the bodies taken away, the death toll is close to 46,000.

A total of 12,000 people were killed in the battle of the night army, and after this battle, the archers who lost the most in the night army were not easier to train archers than cavalry, so the night army's losses this time were also not small. However, in comparison between the two sides, the Snow Army's losses were greater, and in last night's battle, the Night Army could definitely be called a complete victory.
