Chapter 370: Bloody Battle (Finale)
There were no shouts, no screams, all the people had fallen into madness, and all of them were mechanically wielding the blades in their hands. Liu Fan no longer remembered how many people he had killed, but he only remembered that he was carried back to the camp when Mingjin collected his troops. The heavy cavalry that attacked was not able to cut off Wang Tong's head in the end, but fell into a bitter battle, both sides were exhausted, for the Liu family army they achieved their strategic purpose, not long ago, Gao Chong and Lu Wenlong sent information, Xiang Yu has led the army through Sanhe Town, is advancing towards the Lujiang River.
"General, our army has blocked the enemy from the second line of defense, and the last general will organize the soldiers to strangle this group of cavalry. Wang Tong looked at the battlefield coldly, and a general covered in blood ran over. The Xuanjia elite cavalry, which had lost its impact power, was blocked by the enemy in the second line of defense, even if Qin Qiong and the three of them were extremely brave, but unfortunately these 50,000 were also the essence of the Yangzhou garrison, and they stubbornly blocked their assault.
"Someone, Mingjin retreats. Wang Tong didn't speak, he said a word to the soldiers behind him, turned his horse's head and ran towards the camp, and the generals who had not yet participated in the battle with him were you look at me, I look at you, the sound of the bell soon sounded on the battlefield. The Yangzhou garrison, which was fighting fiercely, slowly began to break away from the battle like a tide.
There was no pursuit, the enemy broke away from the battle, and all the soldiers stood there in a daze, Wang Qian, Xue Rengui, and Cao Ning also looked at the Yangzhou army that broke away from the battle with a surprised expression. The sound of the bell became a lullaby, and all the soldiers put down their weapons in their hands, their legs were weak, and they all sat on the ground in the dark.
"Second brother, do you want to chase it?" Cheng Biting Jin's plate axe was dripping with blood, and the war horse that sat down roared uneasily, Cheng Biting Jin pushed away the mask, his dark face was full of murderous excitement, and now they were the only troops that still had the ability to pursue. Yu Chigong also walked over, and the spear in his hand did not have a trace of blood sticking. But no one will doubt that there will be fewer enemies who will die at his hands. His armor had lost its original color.
Qin Qiong withdrew the spear in his hand, glanced at the Yangzhou army that was confronting him and retreating step by step, the other party's formation was not panicked, obviously it was also to prevent the counterattack of the Liu family's army, and the soldiers and horses left by the other party were the elites who did not participate in the battle at all, and the pursuit was obviously an irrational decision. Qin Qiong glanced at the cavalry that was lining up behind him. The elite heavy cavalry of hundreds of millions of people is now less than 3,000 people left, and all of them are wounded, and the war horse sitting down is also using up a trace of Zuihou's strength at the moment, and the warrior on his back is panting heavily.
"No, I don't. Biting the gold, he slowly advanced behind the other party with two thousand people, just spying on the other party. Do not fight. Yu Chigong, you take the rest of your brothers to clean up the battlefield. Qin Qiong withdrew the spear in his hand, Cheng Yanjin and Wei Chigong nodded, and left with their respective troops, Qin Qiong rode towards the center of the battlefield.
Liu Fan sat on the ground decadently. Hundreds of guards around him were tightly guarding Liu Fan's side. The battlefield was full of soldiers' screams, and Liu Fan had no strength to care about others at the moment. The top and bottom of his body were covered with scars from knives and guns. Liu Fan looked up at the sky, but for the first time, he found that the sky was so blue. It's so beautiful, even the clouds in the sky are so lovely. Maybe that's what it's like to live the rest of your life after the catastrophe. Being able to survive this big battle already made Liu Fan himself unable to believe himself.
"Bring all the wounded back to the camp. Guo Jia sent the only 3,000 people left in the battalion to the battlefield, hundreds of thousands of people, the battlefield stretched hundreds of miles, the wounded soldiers are valuable property, especially for the newly formed Liujia Army, these wounded soldiers will be the mainstay of the Liujia Army after recovery, and the strength of the Liujia Army will have a qualitative mutation. When Qin Qiong's war horse found Liu Fan, Liu Fan was already unconscious.
"How is the lord?" Qin Qiong stood beside Liu Fan, the military doctor who was brought by Xue Rengui was taking Liu Fan's pulse, and all the generals in the camp were gathered here to wait for the results. After a whole day of containment, the entire battlefield was finally cleaned up, and the 150,000-strong army now has less than 80,000 people in combat effectiveness, and this battle made the Liu family army bleed.
"The lord is fine, it's just that the battle is tiring, and the blood loss is too much, and he will be fine in a few days of cultivation. When the military doctor strangely found that Liu Fan's injuries were recovering at an unimaginable speed, he didn't dare to say anything, and retreated after saying that it was okay.
The generals got the news that Liu Fan was safe, and their hearts finally settled down. Dugu Die sat in the big tent with red eyes and took care of Liu Fan, while the rest of the people all withdrew from the big tent. After the war, there are still many things to deal with, so Liu Fan handed over all the things to Guo Jia on the battlefield, and now although the Yangzhou army has retreated, the Yangzhou army is strong after all, and the battalion has to make corresponding arrangements.
"General Qin, the defense of the battalion will be handed over to you, remember not to be careless. Guo Jia arranged everything nervously, he had to rest after the war, almost all the troops were on the battlefield, and he urgently needed to rest after the war, and now the only thing that still maintains the establishment is Qin Qiong's Xuanjia Jingcai, and the defense of the battalion can only be handed over to him.
"The rest of the generals will rest their armies in preparation for the next attack of the Yangzhou army. Prepare more strong bows and crossbows, and close the camp for a truce these days. "As Liu Fan's deputy general, Wang Jian is in charge of the military of the entire battalion, and Wang Jian is also injured at this moment. But the big war was imminent, but Wang Jian did not dare to slack off.
"The last will be ordered. The generals took their leave and left, and the whole camp fell into an unusual tranquility. Not even all the generals began to integrate their own teams, this time the losses of the Liu family army could not be said to be broken bones, and the losses of the Liu family's soldiers were as high as 20,000 people, of which four-fifths were killed in battle. Although this battle did not fail, it also severely damaged the morale of the Liu family's army.
Like Liu Fan's camp, Wang Tong was also busy in the camp tent, in comparison, the 400,000 Yangzhou army lost a full 150,000, which was enough to give Wang Tong a headache. They took the initiative to evacuate the battlefield, except for some of the wounded soldiers who withdrew early, and the rest of the wounded and sick were all thrown on the battlefield, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Yangzhou army, and the most taboo on the battlefield was to abandon the wounded. The king informed him of this, but he could not bring the soldiers back from the battlefield.
"How is the morale of the soldiers?" Wang Tong looked at the generals sitting down with a heavy face, everyone looked at Wang Tong with a puzzled gaze, seeing that the balance of victory had tilted towards them, as long as they had a little more strength, they could defeat the Liu family's army, and Weishenme wanted to withdraw his troops at this time.
"Captain, the morale of the soldiers is low, and I am afraid that they will not be able to fight anymore recently. Adjutant General Yan Hui came out and responded. The soldiers were demoralized from the beginning of the withdrawal of the battalion, and they did not know that Weishenme would retreat, and the retreat meant that those soldiers died in vain, and the battalion suddenly lost 150,000 soldiers and made the battalion a lot quieter in an instant, but the original mood of looking forward to the war was gone, replaced by loss, incomprehension, and distrust.
Wang Tong looked at the faces of the generals sitting down, of course he knew what they were thinking, and his tone was very cold, and it could even be said that it was murderous: "You think I don't want to continue fighting, you look at this military report." ”
Wang Tong threw a military report in his hand to the deputy general Yan Hui, Yan Hui turned out to be a military report, and his face suddenly became very ugly, all the generals are you look at me, I look at you. Yan Hui handed over the military report in his hand, and the generals immediately couldn't wait to gather together, watching the military report, but the confusion on everyone's face turned into worry.
"General, are we going to return to the army to rescue? With Yan Shuai's ability, he is no match for the traitor Su Lie, and there is a cavalry of 3,000 people on the other side who has disappeared under our noses and entered the hinterland, and the rear is empty, please return to the army to rescue as soon as possible. The information on the military newspaper made everyone gasp, Shouchun's army was suddenly attacked, with heavy losses, and a cavalry team of 3,000 people entered the hinterland of Yangzhou, and the foundation of the generals was in Yangzhou, if Yangzhou City was taken down, there would be no need to fight this battle, and surrender directly.
