When Tai Shici returned to Yuan Yao's side, the soldiers on Sun Ce's side were almost gone.

Tai Shici still felt a little guilty.

After all, this is the first time, and he was ordered to stop Sun Ce according to Yuan Yao's wishes.

Before he went, he was still full of confidence, but not only did he not complete Yuan Yao's order. On the contrary, he was defeated by the other party so quickly, and fled the battlefield in disgrace.

"Childe, then Sun Ce's strength has risen a lot, the last general is incompetent, he failed to complete Childe's order, and he asked Childe to punish him."

Although Tai Shici did not make a military order, on the battlefield, there must still be a reward and punishment system. If you fail to complete the task assigned by the above, you will naturally be punished, and Tai Shi Ci has no complaints about this.

But Yuan Yao didn't care about this.

Instead, he stretched out his hand and patted Tai Shici's shoulder.

"Ziyi, don't be presumptuous, I know very well how powerful you are, it's just that Sun Ce is stronger, and if it weren't for that Huang Gai, he suddenly joined, presumably you wouldn't retreat so quickly."

"Even if you are not that Sun Ce's opponent, there is no problem in fighting with that Sun Ce for a while."

"It's not your fault that this battle is overbearing, but I was careless, I didn't expect Sun Ce to bring so many powerful assistants by his side."

Yuan Yao took the fault of this time on himself, and in doing so, he wanted to shorten the distance between him and Tai Shici. Second, I also want to win over Tai Shici.

Although Tai Shici has now taken refuge in him, it is more of an idea of cooperation.

If you want to completely recover a general like Tai Shici, it will still take a certain amount of time.

Take advantage of feelings, this trump card.

Only then will he be more sure that Tai Shici will be brought under his command.

When Tai Shici saw Yuan Yao say this, the guilt on his face was even worse.

However, he didn't continue to say anything, but admired Yuan Yao's gaze even more.

This change in expression naturally fell into Yuan Yao's eyes.

He soon didn't care about this matter, but changed his words and continued to praise Tai Shici.

"Of course, Ziyi, this sortie is not completely ineffective, at least it blocked Sun Ce's attack and reduced the losses of our soldiers."

"The time I have gained is enough for me to let my men and horses besiege and kill the soldiers on Sun Ce's side."

As he spoke, the battlefield had come to an end.

Liu Ye had already walked out from the side and began to assist some other generals in counting the number of people killed on the battlefield.

Because it was night, the scope of the battlefield was not large, and the men and horses under Yuan Yao's command all had uniform uniforms, and the nearby corpses could be easily distinguished, so the casualties could be counted quickly.

"Master, the battle damage has been counted."

"How's it going?"

"The situation is not good, our men have lost more than 300 people."

Liu Ye's face is not very good-looking, although he has only been following Yuan Yao for a long time, but these days he has also figured out the configuration of the soldiers and horses under Yuan Yao's command, and at the same time, he also understands that the warrior battalion is the most elite group of men and horses under his master's command.

These people are all cultivated by Yuan Yao with great effort, not to mention that they are all brave and good at fighting, they are definitely elite people.

But in such an encounter, a one-tenth of the direct loss can be regarded as a major blow.

When Yuan Yao heard this, his face also sank, although he knew that people would definitely die in a battle, but a tenth of the casualties in a battle were a bit too big for him.

And this is only the dead, those who were injured cannot be counted for the time being.

It is estimated that one-third of the combat power of this battle will be directly affected.

"What about the enemy's casualties, can you count them?"

After understanding the casualties of his own people, Yuan Yao asked Liu Ye again.

Compared with the casualties of his own soldiers and horses, Yuan Yao wanted to know the casualties of Sun Ce's men and horses.

Because this is the way to test the strength of the soldiers and horses in your hands.

If the other party's dead men and horses are similar to their own, it means that the strength of the warrior battalion under Yuan Yao's command is not particularly outstanding.

It can only barely match the elite of other princes.

And when Liu Ye opened his mouth to tell the casualty figures of Sun Ce's men, Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief.

"The exact number of casualties is unknown, but we have counted thousands of corpses."

"The number of dead alone is more than 1,000, and even if you count the wounded, it is estimated that it is close to 2,000."

Liu Ye answered Yuan Yao's question in a guessing way.

This made Tai Shi Ci on the side slightly surprised.

"Sun Ce has suffered nearly two thousand casualties?!"

Tai Shi Ci gasped and couldn't help but exclaim.

Sun Ce's soldiers and horses traveled a long way from Wu County to Danyang County to support, and it is estimated that they did not stop much on the way, and the soldiers should not have had any rest.

The long journey is already a serious drain on their physical strength. In addition, it was night again, and he was suddenly attacked by Yuan Yao's soldiers and horses.

In a panic, it is not easy to form an effective battle formation and launch a counterattack.

Under such circumstances, it is already possible for only elite troops to maintain the morale of the army from collapsing.

The death of these horses can be regarded as Sun Ce's well-trained soldiers and horses on weekdays.

"If Sun Ce had killed thousands of people and suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, this result would be acceptable."

Sun Ce traveled a long distance and brought over not too many people and horses, Yuan Yao estimated that there were only thousands of soldiers and horses, and this big battle directly reduced his staff by one or two thousand, which can be regarded as a nerve-wrack.

Even if Sun Ce makes a comeback during the day tomorrow, without the help of these horses, Sun Ce will not be able to show off his might.

And Yuan Yao and the others can also free up their hands to think of a way to see whether to continue the siege or retreat first.

"Ziyang, order the soldiers to rest for a while, continue to camp outside the city tonight, and remember to order people to patrol at night to prevent the enemy from attacking at night."

Although Sun Ce made a comeback and it was unlikely that he would take the opportunity to attack the camp, he still gave a word of advice.

Immediately, he took Tai Shici and other people and began to visit the wounded soldiers.

Many of these people who were seriously injured on the battlefield were not treated according to past practice.

Not for anything else, because the medical level in the late Han Dynasty was not particularly outstanding, although there were three great doctors in the late Han Dynasty, but their medical skills were limited to individuals, and the overall medical level of this era was still very backward.

Most of the battlefield is full of knife wounds and arrow wounds, which are extremely easy to infect, and once infected, the possibility of the soldiers surviving is not very large.

Therefore, people who are seriously injured generally depend on their fate, and if they can survive with their lives, they will be able to survive.

If you can't stand it, it's basically death, this way.
