More than a dozen of their warships did not sink a single enemy ship, but because they collided on the river, these ten warships and ten wooden warships all sank to the bottom of the river.

More importantly, this section of water is relatively shallow, more than 20 large warships sank to the bottom of the river, and the warships behind were affected by it, and the bottom of the ships were more or less damaged.

The Battle of Wangjiang ended with the defeat of the Zhou side and the capture of the Mu army camp by the Jin army.

In this battle, the Jin army was the victor, but the casualties were much heavier than those of the wooden army, of which the largest loss was the second army, with more than half of the casualties, followed by the first army, then the fourth army, and the third army, with a total of more than 150,000 casualties.

Although it was a victory, it was also a tragic victory, but fortunately, the reserve reinforcement was quite sufficient, and the casualties of 150,000 did not reach the point of serious damage.

After the war, Lin Haotian was taken into the wooden army camp by the generals of the First Army, and along the way, as far as the eye could see, the most he saw were corpses and wounded.

The corpses of the wooden army were all buried on the spot, there was nothing to say, the soldiers who died in the Jin army had to be transported back to their homeland, and when the corpses were sorted out, the corpses were piled up one after another, and the soldiers who carried the corpses could no longer shed tears and became numb.

You don't need to be on the battlefield in person, just look at the endgame after the war, and it is not difficult to imagine the tragedy and hardship of this battle.

Then Lin Haotian, who was iron-blooded and steel-hearted, was also moved, he looked at the generals of the First Legion who were following him, all of them were covered with bloodstains, and even Ding Feng was in torn armor, covered with dents left by sharp weapons after stabbing and slashing.

Lin Haotian said faintly: "Ding Feng, this battle ...... It's really hard for you. ”

A simple word. Ding Feng's tears almost flowed out. He arched his hand and said: "The last general does not dare to talk about hard work, but the brothers below, born and died, bloody battles, that is really hard." ”

Lin Haotian stopped, turned around and patted him on the shoulder. said: "100,000 strong attack on more than 200,000, break the camp and pull out the village, the whole world, only the first army you command can do this." ”

Ding Feng's face was straight, and he bowed his hand again, and said, "Master Xie praises." ”

Lin Haotian let out a long sigh and said, "This battle is magnificent, worthy of being the first army of my Dajin." With that, he continued to walk towards the interior of the wooden camp.

As the saying goes, one will become famous, and ten thousand bones will wither. can become a generation of famous generals and get the affirmation and praise of everyone, which is hard piled up with countless blood and lives.

Seeing the adults coming over, the soldiers who were resting on both sides stood up one after another, most of them were wearing colors and bandages, and they all looked at Lin Haotian with blank eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Haotian stopped his steps. waved his hand at everyone and said, "Brothers, sit down and rest!"

"My lord!" the people intervened. Say hello to Lin Haotian.

Lin Haotian's heart was hot, and he didn't say anything more, but he gave a deep salute to the soldiers on the left and right.

Seeing the adults saluting these ordinary soldiers, everyone was startled, and they all knelt down on one knee and said in unison: "My lord—"

Lin Haotian didn't stay long. and Ding Feng and others went to the inner camp.

Lin Haotian was somewhat surprised by the layout of the wooden camp, the big camp was covered with a small camp, and the layout was ingenious enough.

He asked Ding Feng beside him: "Ding Feng, why does the Mu Army camp look like this?"

Ding Feng smiled indifferently and said, "Don't underestimate the layout of the wooden camp. The inner camp is connected to the wharf, if our army attacks head-on and breaks through the Wang River, it will land from here, and after going ashore, it will be trapped in the inner camp, and then the wooden army will climb the wall, condescending, and it will be difficult for our army to break through. The inner camp of the wooden army, both offensive and defensive, our army attacked from the land, the inner camp is the last line of defense of the wooden army, if it is attacked from the water, the inner camp is the first line of defense of the wooden army. ”

"I see!" Lin Haotian nodded suddenly and said with a smile: "What an ingenious idea, this big camp should be ......"

"It's from Sima Changren's hand!" Lin Haotian continued.

"Oh!" Lin Haotian muttered: "Sima Changren, this person is both wise and brave, he is really powerful!"

"It's a pity that he doesn't know how to be a man, his temperament is too arrogant, and he is incompatible with the Mu Kingdom court. Ding Feng shrugged his shoulders and said: "If he is not transferred to the western border, the wooden camp should be guarded by him, and if our army wants to capture it, I am afraid it will not be so easy." ”

After a pause, Ding Feng said again: "My lord, our army should rest here, it is not easy to advance westward in a short time. ”

Lin Haotian raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, and asked, "Reason?"

Ding Fengzheng said: "Our army suffered a lot of casualties in this battle, and it is necessary to rest and recuperate, second, our army is closer to the Red Army than the Red Army in Xiangyang, and the adults should let the Red Army go deep into the wooden field first to put pressure on Xiangyang, so that Sima Changren will command the army to deal with the Red Army first, not our army." ”

Lin Haotian's brows bulged up a small hill, and he asked in a gloomy tone, "What's the matter?" Are you afraid that Sima Changren will not succeed?"

Ding Feng arched his hand and said: "The last general is not afraid of him, but hopes to compete with him on the battlefield, but in this way, the casualties of our army will be heavy, but it will cheapen the Red Army." What's more, the ambition of the adults is not just a country of wood, and the more troops that survive in this logging battle, the greater the help for the adults to achieve great things in the future. ”

Lin Haotian glanced at him with deep eyes and was silent for a long time.

Ding Feng's words are not unreasonable, in the national war, he should not be rash and joke with the lives of the soldiers below, and now the Jin country is not at ease, and their cooperation with the red country is also inseparable, if the troops consumed too much this time, once there is a danger, how can they deal with it?

Thinking of this, Lin Haotian stretched his brows, sneered and laughed, and said: "Who said that Ding Feng is not good at using schemes? Your proposal is good, just according to your wishes, our army will rest in Jiangxi for five days." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and called, "Shao Lin!"

"The subordinates are here!" Shao Lin hurriedly stepped forward and intervened to give a salute.

Lin Haotian rolled his eyes and said: "Immediately send a letter to the Red Kingdom Imperial Court to explain the battle situation of our army, and in addition, tell the Red King Shi Huai the specific casualties of our army, the more detailed the better." ”

Shao Lin frowned secretly, because Jin Chi was an alliance, and after the first battle, he explained the battle situation to the other side, but although this battle was won by his own side, the victory was not beautiful, and the casualties were far better than the defeated Mu army.

Seeing the incomprehension of the two of them, Lin Haotian said with a smile: "Although Shi Huai is the lord of a country, we can see from the last time we fought with the Red Army that he is self-righteous and arrogant. If he wants to enter Xiangyang first, we will give him an encouragement. ”

When Shao Lin heard this, he also smiled, and arched his hand and said: "Yes! The subordinates will send someone to pass on the book to the Red Army." ”

The Jin army led by Lin Haotian was stationed in the camp in Hexi, saying that it was to rest, but the whole army was not idle, and at the suggestion of Chu Lianyu, the Jin army attacked from all sides and launched an attack on the counties and cities of Jiangxi County, so as to achieve the goal of controlling the entire territory of Jiangxi County.

Jiangxi County has three counties and eight cities, of which three cities are located along the Wangjiang River, and these three cities are also the main production areas of Muguo warships.

Lin Haotian really made the water war scared, and he also realized the importance of the water war, and the first thing he sent troops to attack was these three cities.

The main force of the Mu army has fled with the Zhou side, the whole territory of Jiangxi County has been empty, and it is simply unable to resist the attack of the Jin army, and most of the resistance of the cities comes from the people, and the people of Mu country spontaneously organized a militia group to defend their own cities.

It's just that this kind of improvised militia may be okay to deal with bandits, but if you want to compete with a country's regular army, it is undoubtedly a fantasy.

The Jin army did not make much effort to conquer the three cities, and also adopted a soft policy towards the militia groups organized by the people, and only executed a few leaders, as for the people below, they were not to blame for the past.

Lin Haotian's sudden kindness was not his generosity, he needed these three cities to build warships for the Jin Kingdom, if the killing was too heavy, it would rebound, which would be unfavorable to the overall situation.

After defeating three cities along the water, the Jin army attacked inland Hexi and captured the other five cities in a row.

For these five cities, Lin Haotian was not polite at all, and passed down the military order, if there is resistance, there will be no mercy, and if there is resistance, there will be no mercy, and if you resist the strong, you will slaughter the whole city.

Jin Jun strictly carried out Lin Haotian's order. (To be continued......)
