Chapter 678: Learning from the Pain

It can be said that this battle was the most tragic one since Hua Feng became the commander-in-chief, and it was also the one that cost the most effort.

Hua Feng, who had been in the army for a very short time, led the crowd to fight several battles with the Qing army, killing more than 200,000 enemies before and after, and losing less than 40,000 of his own.

The results are not without brilliance.

Such a record is also very rare in the history of wars in all dynasties.

Pride.

However, in addition to his sad face, Hua Feng did not have half of the color.

Because, he felt sorry for his dead brother.

In Hua Feng's eyes, these brothers who died in battle were all iron-clad hot-blooded men. When he was in his prime, he was ordered to go to Huangquan, which was too cruel.

......

Because, the Qing army can afford to lose, but the righteous army can't afford to lose.

After all, the Qing court was rich and powerful, and there were many generals and generals. The loss of hundreds of thousands of horses is heartbreaking, but it will not hurt the muscles and bones.

And the righteous army came to the aid from all directions, and it was not easy to make up an army of 50,000, how could it compete with the Qing army for manpower consumption?

Even on the surface, the battle damage ratio has reached five to one.

Even there are war horses, grain and grass, bows and arrows, crossbows and other multifaceted harvests.

In Hua Feng's view, the losses of the rebels were so great that some of the gains outweighed the losses.

......

Three full days passed, and the atmosphere of grief was still spreading.

Hua Feng, who is strong in blood, also seems to have aged a lot suddenly.

The face that has always been full of confidence is also a little more decadent.

Nearly 20,000 anti-Qing rebels saw this situation and were anxious.

Hua Feng, who is the backbone, Hua Feng, who is omnipotent in the eyes of everyone, once he loses his fighting spirit, how can he fight this battle?

You know, this war is far from the time when the coffin is closed.

Li Chengdong still has 100,000 troops in his hands and hundreds of artillery pieces, and his combat effectiveness is absolutely not to be underestimated.

......

Such a severance and retreat?

Not to mention that the heroes who came from afar would not agree, the spirits of tens of thousands of brothers in the sky would not agree, and even Hua Feng himself would not agree.

Facing difficulties, Fang is a big husband!

Just walked away?

Not to mention the great righteousness of the nation, don't we want the chivalrous nature of revenge and revenge and kindness? How can we comfort our brothers who died on the battlefield?

In this way, how can you still dare to claim to be a decent martial artist?

How can you still climb to the top of the martial arts?

How dare you expect to reach the realm of chivalry and invincibility?

......

Although everyone was anxious, including Liu Piaopiao, Meng Zhenzhen, and Jiang Yaoyao, they did not say anything to persuade them.

Even, they all stayed away from Hua Feng and left him alone.

They know that this is a hurdle that Hua Feng must rely on his own strength to overcome independently! This is an extremely difficult psychological journey!!

is the same state of mind as when the South China Dart Game was baptized in blood, this is the catastrophe of life that Hua Feng must bear alone!!

Moreover, it is the stage that a person must go through to grow and mature.

No one else can help and no one else can help us.

......

Like Hua Feng, those who fell into grief were Zhao Shuhai, Lin Changhai, Huang Wudao, Chen Shuyang, Fang Dajiang, the beggar gang leader and the five elders, "Three Caves and Six Masters", Jiang Yaoyao, Meng Qi, Xiao Yun, Lin family sisters, Fang family sisters, "Putuo Sanmei", and Meng, Lin, Xiao, Ma The four family heads, etc.

There are hundreds of people!

They may regret the heavy deaths of their subordinates due to their command mistakes, or they may grieve the death of their relatives and disciples......

The atmosphere in the entire rebel garrison was very depressing.

It's hard to see half a smiling face, and it's hard to hear half a laugh.

......

At this time, the remaining nearly 20,000 horses of the anti-Qing righteous army mainly came from two families: Liu Xiong, the "King of the Northeast", and the five battalions of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth of Hongmen.

The two are roughly equal, each with about 7,000.

In this bloody battle, due to proper organization and close cooperation, the losses of the two families were not large, and only 30% of the losses were lost.

As for the other more than 5,000 people, 1,000 of them came from all major regions, regardless of their martial arts fame, they all had a place in the martial arts; the rear army with little money had more than 2,000 people; and the remaining more than 1,000 people were all from Xiao Yun and Jiang Ming's bow and arrow battalions.

......

After five days of rest, when Hua Feng, Zhao Shuhai and others were still silent, the anti-Qing righteous army had once again launched a hot battle training.

And this comes from Chen Jinnan's leadership.

He knew that with Hua Feng's heart, he would never give up.

Sooner or later, there will be a battle with Li Chengdong!

......

The people of Hongmen are practicing the Five Elements Great Array.

In this fierce battle, without the bonus of the Five Elements Great Array, the dead of the five battalions of Hongmen would not only be more than 2,000 people, but at least more than half.

Because in terms of individual combat, the fifth battalion of Hongmen is not necessarily much stronger than the masters from the major gangs.

In terms of group operations, the five battalions of Hongmen are not necessarily stronger than the "three thousand believers" of the beggars and Hua Feng and Jiang Yaoyao.

It was the Five Elements Great Array that saved them!

Therefore, Su Gaofei, the founder of the Five Elements Great Array, once again rose in a straight line in his prestige in the anti-Qing rebel army, and he was already on an equal footing with Zhu Hongzhu, Chen Jinnan, Wan Yunlong, Cui Shangren, Liu Xiong, Hong Fulai, Zhao Shuhai, Lin Changhai, Huang Wudao and other famous martial artists.

The limelight even overshadowed Jiang Yaoyao, Tang Huaming, Duan Jinchao, Meng Qi, Jiang Nannan and other big masters.

Only weaker than the commander and alliance leader Hua Feng.

It can be seen that as long as there is a specialization in art, there will always be a time to get ahead.

......

Liu Xiong's men and horses, under the leadership of Zeng Long, Qin Hu, Chen Xiong, and Ni Bao, practiced the common formation of the two armies, that is, the one-word long snake formation.

It was the array used in the previous bloody battle.

In addition to the factor of close cooperation with each other, the main reason for the fact that Liu Xiong, the "King of the Northeast", suffered so little loss from his men and horses, and that he was equipped with many generals and had fierce combat power.

Needless to say, the four hall masters and the eight major generals are strong in martial arts and strong in battle.

Especially the four hall masters, all of them are the existence of top masters.

And the seven people in the "Ten Murderers of Lin'an" who are equipped with the strengthened, most of the weapons they use are spears, hammers, etc., which are just suitable for group battles.

With so many masters fighting side by side, it is reasonable that the damage is smaller.

......

Moreover, Liu Xiong, who has experienced a hundred battles, and the two orders of judging the situation are also one of the reasons why the battle damage is very small.

One of the commands is to go hand in hand, and never go deep alone.

Let the 19 masters line up and charge ahead.

The second order is to serve each of its own duties and fight as one.

Let the rest of the higher in skill be responsible for guarding the wings and protecting those with mediocre martial arts. Most of the people with average skills only killed people who were injured by the 19 masters, and did not fight against the masters of the Qing army.

The entire left army marched forward like a mighty dragon. The road is like a bamboo, and no one can stop it.

In this way, of course, there are fewer casualties.

......

At the post-war summary meeting, after listening to Liu Xiong's account, Zhao Shuhai, Lin Changhai, Duan Jinchao, Xiao Jiazhu, Ren Yong, Jiang Nannan, Meng Qingqing and other generals from all walks of life were greatly admired, but they all secretly felt guilty.
