Chapter 238: Surrounded on three sides

In the early morning of the fourth day after the end of the offensive and defensive battle of AllHeaven.

Zhang Chu wore linen and filial piety, and sent his mother's old house into the earth for peace.

From this day on, he began to wear white robes.

It hasn't changed for three years.

......

After sending his mother on his last journey, Zhang Chu turned around the helm of the Silian Gang and convened five high-level discussions.

After a while, the five high-level leaders of the Quadruple Gang all arrived.

Zhang Chu sat in the hall, holding a string of prayer beads, and asked lightly: "Each hall reports casualties." ”

When the words fell, the faces of the four hall masters were a little gloomy.

Li Zheng, Da Xiong and the mule exchanged glances secretly, all considering whether to report the real numbers to the eldest brother.

They all knew that their eldest brother could not listen to the heavy casualties of his brothers.

Now that the old lady has just left, tell him such tragic news......

Zhang Chu's eyes were flat, and he didn't seem to see their small movements, but just lightly spit out the word "say".

His voice was not loud, and his expression was not not majestic, but when the words fell, the five people in the hall couldn't help but sit upright.

"Gang leader, in the battle three days ago, 742 people were killed in the White Tiger Hall and 214 people were disabled. ”

Li Zheng still didn't lie to Zhang Chu's courage in the end, and told the truth honestly...... However, he still kept an eye on it, and did not say the number of serious and minor injuries.

A few days ago, most of the people of the Qinglong Hall and the Vermilion Bird Hall of the Quadruple Gang withdrew from Jintian Mansion, and the people of the White Tiger Hall and Xuanwu Hall of the Eight Rudders of the district and county were stationed in Jintian Mansion.

Three days ago, of the 3,000 people who had withdrawn from Jintian Mansion in batches, 2,000 of them were from the White Tiger Hall.

The battle of the Silian Gang outside the city to shake the eight hundred northern barbarian fierce horses was also the main force of the White Tiger Hall.

Therefore, the people and horses of the White Tiger Hall are also the heaviest casualties among the four halls.

Zhang Chu's face was calm, but the rosary in his hand made a "whoosh" collision sound.

He nodded, his gaze turning to the bear.

Da Xiong hurriedly reported: "Gang leader, in the battle three days ago, Xuanwutang killed 276 people and disabled 89 people. ”

The reason why the casualties of the nine hundred people in the Xuanwu Hall are not as large as those in the White Tiger Hall is because the brothers in the Xuanwu Hall have fish scale armor to protect themselves, and they are more likely to survive on the battlefield.

It was also because of the battle outside the city that Xuanwutang avoided the first wave of impact with the heaviest casualties.

"Gang leader, in the battle three days ago, Qinglongtang killed thirty-two people and disabled thirty-five people. ”

"Gang leader, in the battle three days ago, Suzaku Hall killed eighty-two people and disabled twelve people. ”

The casualties at the entrance of these two halls sound small, but in fact, their casualty ratio is even higher than that of the White Tiger Hall!

Because most of the people at the entrances of these two halls have already withdrawn from the Jintian Mansion, among the 3,000 people in the previous three days, the number of people at the entrances of these two halls is less than 300.

Moreover, in the battle outside the city, the people of these two halls did not participate in the protection of their families at all, and their casualties came from the wave of feather arrows outside the city, as well as the subsequent battles when they entered the city to clean up the scattered northern barbarian cavalry.

After listening to their reports, Zhang Chu silently calculated in his heart.

In the battle three days ago, the 4th Gang of 3,000 men and horses, 1,130 children were killed in the battle, and 355 were disabled.

Nearly half of the loss!

"Smack. ”

A rosary was pinched into powder by him.

He closed his eyes and calmed down for a while before he opened his eyes again and asked, "How is the situation in Beiyu County?"

The mule got up, clenched his fists, and said, "According to the report of the brothers who entered the city early this morning, 8,000 people have arrived at Goutou Mountain, and according to the itinerary, the last group of families to leave the city will arrive at Goutou Mountain in two days. ”

"The families who arrived at Kotou Mountain in the early stage have been cutting down trees to build houses, but all kinds of materials are in short supply, and the brothers who entered Beiyin County to raise food have found nothing, and have now dispersed to the counties of Beiyin County to raise food......

Zhang Chu pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "The White Tiger Hall and the Xuanwu Hall will each send a hundred people, and hand them over to Yang Chang'an to lead, and tomorrow morning, escort the remaining family members in the city, as well as the disabled brothers, out of the city and to Goutou Mountain." ”

"After arriving, ask Elder Yang to sit in Goutou Mountain, dispatch people to raise materials and reclaim fields, and ensure that the 20,000 people in Goutou Mountain have clothes to wear, food to eat, and the overall situation is not chaotic. ”

If it had been placed before, Yang Changan would definitely be overjoyed when he heard this!

That's the power of life and death for 20,000 people!

He can rely on 20,000 people to start anew!

It's better than continuing to be a dog under Zhang Chumen.

But now, Yang Changan didn't dare to have two hearts in his heart.

He stood up and snorted at Zhang Chu to the end: "Yes, helper!"

Zhang Chu looked at him and said lightly: "Chang'an." ”

"The subordinates are here. ”

Zhang Chu said casually: "Don't let me down!"

He said it lightly, and the five people in the hall couldn't hear any meaningful meaning from his tone, and even the mule who was the best at figuring out his mind couldn't tell whether he was telling Yang Chang'an to say this, or beating Yang Changan, or both.

Yang Changan's heart tightened violently when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "My subordinates must devote all their life to what they have learned, and look after the rear of my Quadruple Gang!"

Zhang Chu nodded, and his gaze turned to the mule again: "What is the situation in the counties of Xuanbei Prefecture now?"

Mule: "According to the news received by his subordinates, four days ago, the Beiban 1st Army bypassed the camp of the Zhenbei Army and broke Yanquan County!"

The next day, the soldiers divided into three routes, rushing to attack Zhige County, Wuding County, and Zhuma County, in an attempt to annex half of Xuanbei Prefecture in a war. ”

"Except for Wuding County, which completely annihilated the Northern Barbarian Fierce Cavalry, Zhige County and Zhuma County were all lost. ”

"According to the rumors of the refugees of Zhige County and Zhuma County who fled to Wuding County, the Northern Barbarian fierce cavalry who invaded Zhige County and Zhuma County have been slaughtering the city for the past few days, and there are not many people left alive in the county capitals of the two counties......"

Zhang Chu clenched his fists, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

He has no national enmity with the Northern Barbarians.

But there is a family hate!

Moreover, the barbaric behavior of the Northern Barbarians in slaughtering the city quickly pushed his sense of the Northern Barbarians to a position infinitely close to the position of the native Dali people who looked at the Northern Barbarians.

He doesn't like to be angry with people, but as far as all the northern barbarians he has seen so far, every one of them deserves to die, so naturally it doesn't matter whether he is angry or not.

"That means that Wuding County is now surrounded by the Northern Barbarians on three sides, right?"

Zhang Chu asked.

The mule nodded, "Yes, helper." ”

Yanqi County is north of Wuding County, Zhige County is west of Wuding County, and Zhuma County is east of Wuding County.

Zhang Chu pondered for a while, got up and said, "Let's get here today, Master Shi summoned me to the county office, and when I come back after meeting Lord Shi, we will discuss again!"

The five people in the hall got up and shook their faces to him: "Subordinates retire!"
