Chapter 526: A Great Victory

The Battle of Gong'an became a symbol of the total decline of Soochow.

Under the fire at the mouth of the oil river, the 70,000 troops of Eastern Wu were defeated and lost. Under the fierce pursuit and fierce attack of the Han army, the Wu army lost most of it, and countless people surrendered.

After the war, the Han army counted more than 10,000 Wu soldiers and more than 20,000 prisoners. Counting those who died in the trampling and drowning of the Yangtze River, it is roughly estimated that Soochow lost more than 50,000 people.

Those who really survived and fled to Gangneung were only 20,000 people.

This also shows from the side that in fact, Sun Quan's upper limit of the army is quite high. The more troops it commands, the better, and the fewer troops it leads, the worse it loses.

In addition to the loss of troops, all the grain and grass of Soochow were completely lost. Dozens of veterans died in the chaos, and many veterans, including Lu Dai, were captured alive.

And Sun Quan, who was the king of Wu of the Great Wei Dynasty, was even more beaten by Ma Tan. If Ma Tan hadn't taken the initiative to let him go for the sake of the situation in the southeast, he would probably have cooled down by now.

And in this battle, Soochow lost more than just troops. At the same time, all the morale and large population of the entire Soochow were lost.

After the Battle of Gong'an, the remaining Jingnan counties surrendered to the Han army almost immediately. Sometimes, before the Han army even left, the officials who surrendered from the county had already come to the public security to greet them.

In just half a month, Soochow completely lost all its territory in Jingnan. A large area of territory, including Cangwu County, is all surnamed Liu.

In such a short period of time, Soochow lost nearly one-third of its troops and one-fifth of its territory, which can be described as a real injury. After the end of this battle, not only Jingnan was lost, but even Jiaozhou was in danger.

Jiangling, as the front line of Jingzhou, has changed from a base area in the southeast to a deep in the territory of the Han Dynasty and has become the only salient area.

If Jiangling is lost again, Dongwu is afraid that it will be empty.

With such a big fiasco, everyone in Soochow panicked. From Jiangling to Jianye, from Yangzhou to Jiaozhou, the entire Soochow is panicked.

Since then, the power of Ma Tan has spread throughout the entire Eastern Wu, and the Wu people have all talked about the change of horses. Now they don't dare to scare the child with the name of Ma Yan, for fear of scaring the child to death.

In stark contrast to Soochow, there was jubilation up and down the Han side. Among them, many of the soldiers and generals of the Jingzhou faction in Ma Tan's army cried with joy, hugged each other and cried, feeling that they had finally returned to their hometowns.

"Hussar general, we will destroy at least 50,000 enemies in this battle, and the spoils of war are piled up."

After the loot count was over, Liu Yin came to report to Ma Yan. However, Liu Yin only reported a few sentences to Ma Tan, and was excitedly snatched the bamboo slip from Xiang Pet, and wanted to report to Ma Jian in person.

"General! Under your wise leadership, we have won a great victory! Now that the entire four counties of Jingnan have been recovered, we have taken back all the boundaries of the former emperor when he lived in public security! ”

"And so far, except for Jiangling Yu Jiangxia in Nanjun, the entire Jingzhou has been basically recovered!"

When debriefing, the excitement in Xiang Pet's tone couldn't be suppressed at all. As he spoke, Xiang Pet even cried.

Jingzhou, Jingzhou, he is completely bound to Ji Han's national fortunes. When it was lost, it made the entire Jingzhou faction feel like the sky had fallen.

The hometown is gone, and they have really become rootless......

But now, under the leadership of Ma Yan, they have returned with thousands of troops and horses!

This makes it possible for the people of Jingzhou to calm down!

"Huge violation, I know you're happy, but don't be too happy too soon, we haven't taken down Jiangling yet!" Ma Yan waved his hand and said to Xiang Pet with a calm face.

"The two most critical places in Jingzhou, Jiangling and Jiangxia, are still in the hands of Wu Jun. As long as these two places have not been taken back, Jingzhou is not safe. ”

For Ma Yan, although this time is indeed a significant victory, it is just like that. Compared with the record of 200,000 Wei troops in Nanyang, Ma Tan had no waves about it.

So instead of partying with his subordinates, he began to review the battle situation.

In this battle, because of Sun Quan's own vain, the Han army basically won a decisive victory on all fronts, except for the navy.

Zhou Xun is not a qualified subordinate, but he is indeed a qualified general. Even if Sun Quan was chased and killed, he still did not panic, but calmly commanded the naval army to resist the offensive of the Han army, which was quite Zhou Yu's demeanor.

Under his command, the Eastern Wu naval army blocked the entire main force of the Han army with only one-third of its strength in the case of Jiangling's complete inaction.

Guan Xing's headquarters fought desperately and bloodily all night, but the result was very little. And Zhou Xun waited until everything settled and there were no more foot soldiers to rescue, and then he took the initiative to retreat. And when he retreated, he was still in order, and he didn't give Guan Xing a chance at all.

Obviously, the Han army still has no way to take the naval army of Eastern Wu. This also means that the end of the Han army's strategy is Jingzhou.

At least until the Eastern Wu naval army was defeated, it was impossible for the Han army to attack Yangzhou.

"It seems that after the recovery of Jiangling, the focus of Jingzhou will have to change to training sailors with all its might." Ma Tan narrowed his eyes and made a judgment on the current situation.

This is not something that can be done in a short period of time, at least three or four years. And before the training of the navy is completed, it is basically impossible to eliminate Soochow.

However, before that, Ma Tan had to take down Jiangling first and connect Jingnan and Jingbei into one.

"I just don't know how this battle will hit the morale of Gangneung, and if it can help the strong attack a little......"

"Hussar General! Nanyang is in a hurry! ”

Before Ma Tan could finish talking to himself, he was suddenly interrupted by a hurried shout. I saw a messenger rushing in in a hurry and handed Li Hui's urgent letter to Ma Yan.

"Nanyang is in a hurry! Pseudo-Wei Xing's 100,000 soldiers launched an offensive against Nanyang! The enemy's vanguard has arrived in Ye County, and Li Yuanjun asks the general for help! ”

"Huh? Pseudo-Wei entered at this time? Ma Tan was a little surprised.

…………

…………

…………

At the same time, Ye County, Nanyang County,

After more than two years, the large corps of the Wei army reappeared under the city of Yexian. And this time, the Wei army used an extremely large number of troops, and dispatched 100,000 troops in one go.

And this time, the commander is the veteran with the most experience in Cao Wei's battle against Xishu so far, the current Zhenxi general Guo Huai!

"So, Ma Tan has already fought with Dongwu?"

Guo Huai looked at the battle report coming from the south, which said that Sun Quan had attacked Gong'an, and Ma Jian seemed to have taken Guiyang in the south.

"If that's the case, we're probably going to have to run for nothing, and Sun Quan will definitely lose......"
