Chapter 347: The Decisive Battle of Yanzhou (16)

This battle, from before dawn to dawn, and then three poles on the day, and then look back, only to find that noon has passed.

After four hours of bloody battles, whether it was Zhuang Shaoyou's side or the coalition army's side, they were all exhausted, and even the heroes who stood on the command car to watch the battle were weak in their legs, not to mention the soldiers who cut people on the front line!

Zhuang Shaoyou, who was still full of energy before, was also a little prostration, and he couldn't remember how many people he had killed, but it would definitely not be less than three digits.

In the south of the city, Kong Ling and Yuzhou Haoqiang teamed up to suppress Yuan Shu's 5,000 men and horses to attack the city, and after killing more than 100 thorns, Yuan Shu's army still obediently attacked the city.

Sun Guan's third division at the head of the city swore to resist to the death with 2,000 people, killing the 5,000 Yuan Shu army to despair, and in the two-hour battle, 5,000 men and horses were almost killed and wounded, and the defenders at the head of the city also paid the price of 2,000 smaller. I have to say that Yuan Shu's 5,000 old soldiers still broke out with 200% combat effectiveness when they had no way to retreat, and severely damaged the defenders at the head of the city.

Kong Ling looked at the battle situation at the head of the city, silent, thinking in his heart how to cover up the facts, whether to find a chance to kill the heroes in Yuzhou?

Kong Ling was in a trance for a long time before she suddenly woke up, how could she change so much? Is this still me? Could it be that this is the breaking of the legend and the rebirth of Nirvana?

Kong Ling, who was stabbed by Sun Guan, has changed her personality greatly, and she is no longer the previous softness and cowardice.

When the last defender of Yuan Shu's garrison city was killed, Kong Ling let out a long sigh of relief and said calmly: "The defenders are too fierce, our army is difficult to support alone, retreat!" ”

In the east of Puyang City, the fire gradually extinguished, and the smoke shrouded in the city gradually faded, but the stench of burning corpses was still soaring to the sky.

Chun Yuqiong stared at this bleak scene blankly, she had been stunned for half an hour, and still did not come back to her senses.

Bao Xin waved his hand to wipe the black ash on his face, his expression was cloudy, and Yu Ban beside him was no longer as calm as before, with a shocked face, and the tens of thousands of coalition troops who were fierce and abnormal before were now silently looking at the smoking battlefield in the distance.

Liu Dai in the big tent also rushed over, looking at this miserable scene, and the occasional scorching smell brought by the wind, and finally vomited uncontrollably.

Liu Dai took the lead, and the soldiers of the coalition army couldn't hold back anymore, and began to vomit one by one, and only a few elites could barely hold back the churning abdomen and chest. For a time, tens of thousands of troops in the east of Puyang City vomited on the ground, which was a spectacle!

In the west of the city, the two armies at war lost their strength one by one, and then gradually calmed down, guarded each other and retreated slightly, gradually, began to disengage, and then hundreds of paces away from each other could no longer hold back the feeling of exhaustion, one by one fell to the ground and gasped violently, and snoring in the blink of an eye.

Yuan Shao on the command car barely suppressed the anger in his heart, knowing that the soldiers had done their best, and being too harsh at this time would provoke a mutiny! So, without saying a word, he turned around and got out of the car.

The battle came to an automatic halt without warning or the slightest external interference.

Tian Feng stood on the gate tower of the West City, and after a moment of stupefaction, he came to his senses, and immediately ordered to gather thousands of people out of the city to carry the soldiers back after the bloody battle!

However, the coalition forces did not have such a good fate, so they could only drag their tired bodies and endure the severe pain of their wounds and walk back by themselves.

The second stage of the decisive battle of Yanzhou - the Puyang Breakout Battle came to an end.

The three-way coalition army mobilized a total of 100,000 army and 12,000 navy troops to besiege Puyang City. As a result, the total number of killed and wounded of the three-way coalition army was more than 77,000 and countless were wounded!

Of the 50,000 allied troops on the East Road, less than 20,000 survived; The 30,000 coalition troops on the south road survived more than 10,000 men; The 80,000 coalition troops on the East Road were left with more than 50,000 after the war. More than half of the Weijia sailors were lost and retreated to the north bank of the Yellow River to seek refuge.

On Zhuang Shaoyou's side, a total of 30,000 infantry, 10,000 cavalry, 7,000 sailors, and 2,000 city defense garrisons were dispatched, and 10,000 Minzhuang and 3,000 Jiading were requisitioned. As a result, the casualties were as high as 20,000, and the people of the Zhuang family suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and countless people were injured.

After the battle, the dead and wounded were counted, and the Taishi Ci cavalry division suffered fewer losses; Huang Zhong's 1st Infantry Division had 3,000 men remaining; Sun Guan's Third Infantry Division had 5,000 men remaining; Guan Hai's 4th Infantry Division had 4,000 men remaining; The first brigade of Moyu's naval division lost more than 300 people, and the hull of one warship was damaged; There are more than 1,000 remaining 2,000 city defense troops in Puyang.

The battle loss ratio of the two sides was nearly one to four, and they both paid an extremely tragic price, and all the princes of the coalition army were seriously damaged, and no one was spared!

The history is known as the bloody battle of Puyang in the early peace.

Later historians have debated this great war that changed the pattern for hundreds of years. With the determination to dig up the ancestral grave, the two sides of the argument dug up evidence everywhere, dug up many unknown strange secrets, and launched a vigorous debate.

For a long time, the bloody battle of Puyang provided jobs for thousands of historians, and hundreds of giants in the field of history have long been known.

After hundreds of disputes, the core issue of the war has never been decided:

1. How many ways did the princes participate in the bloody battle of Puyang?

2. How many troops did the two sides use? What about casualties?

3. What are the names of these soldiers?

The great proletarian thinker, university, poet, economist, historian, and stallion of the great proletarian great-Governor of South Vietnam said: As a qualified historian, how can you speak so unreliable?! He also published a groundbreaking masterpiece "On the Role of Economy in War-The Dialectical Relationship between Soft Power and Hard Power", which sounded the alarm for the absurd historiography academic circles and carried out epoch-making exploration of interdisciplinary research.

And pointed out that there is one of the biggest mysteries in history behind these questions: what is the origin of the great emperor Zhuang Shaoyou?

These historians dug for a long time with the vigor of digging people's ancestral graves, and finally came to a plausible conclusion: Zhang Jiao used witchcraft to recruit a heavenly general from the sky.

This conclusion, which is rich in feudal superstition, has been tacitly acquiesced by all parties and successive governments......

Although the arguments are absurd, the conclusions are basically solid.

Because, the great family of all kinds - the Grand Governor of South Vietnam acquiesced in this.
