Chapter 88 Chapter 80 Bear the brunt

The battle damage has finally been counted.

The Red Dragon Society and the Dongjiang faction had a total of 100,000 troops, and they fought a few vanguard raids with the French Shuai Army in the early stage, and the losses were small, only a few thousand. In the middle period, there was a fierce tug-of-war that lasted for six days, with losses of more than 25,000. In the end, a decisive battle on the middle line was fought, with a loss of nearly 50,000, and nearly 10,000 were scattered in the decisive battle, and there were very few returnees. Only about 20,000 people were left to flee back, and most of them were injured, and there were not a few who fell behind halfway.

The army was not easy, at first 50,000 gathered at the junction, and then successively added more than 10,000, plus the intelligence bureau and the small detachment of the Guards Corps, totaling more than 70,000, and finally only more than 30,000 remained, almost all of them were wounded soldiers.

In addition to these two sides, other forces have also gained and damaged to some extent.

Hundreds of masters of Baidao attacked the artillery position of the French Shuai Army, although they achieved good results, but they lost more than half of their own losses, and the most discouraging thing is that Li Wuchang's stinky boy is still alive and well.

Xiangyang's "remnants" chased and killed the masters of the Xiang and Lu families, and gained a lot, and of course their own losses were a lot.

Zuo Qian's squad took advantage of the chaos to catch a lot of fish during the tug-of-war, and because they were well prepared and acted neatly planned, they suffered fewer losses and could almost be omitted.

The Imperial Guards did not take action during the Great War, but they organized good hands to hunt down or collect the scattered forces of the Red Dragon Society and the Dongjiang faction, not only did not lose anything, but also strengthened the ranks.

As for the other fishers, they took advantage of the darkness to touch some belongings on the remnants of the battlefield, and when they encountered the small detachment of the French Shuai Army, they immediately fled, and they did not dare to anger the morale of the French Shuai Army.

The border between the two counties experienced confrontation, vanguard fighting, and decisive battles, which lasted only about two months, but the hegemony of the French Shuai Army in the eastern part of Liangzhou had been established, so that Zhao Yuanji, Huang Mao, Xue Peng, Qingjiang bandits and others did not dare to act rashly.

Relying on hard power, it is on an equal footing with the big forces in Jingzhou such as Sikong Sheng, Zuo Qian, and Dongjiang faction.

Shocks and comments from all sides are indispensable.

Zuo Qian returned to Baling and talked about the battle with his right-hand man Li Shengze, "Shengze, I estimate that it won't be long before the French Shuai Army will fully advance into Jingzhou, and at that time, the French Shuai Army will be the most dazzling force......

The tone is infinitely emotional.

Li Shengze had already learned about it through the detailed battle report, and he was still amazed: "Leader, why are you so tenacious about the handsome army?"

Zuo Qian said: "It's really too tenacious......

Li Shengze was puzzled: "I thought that the master would become a turning point, but how do you know that the army of the commander is not left behind at all, it stands to reason...... There shouldn't be so many middle-level players in the French Shuai Army. I read the battle report that the Guards squad of the French Shuai Army was talking about, tsk, the fourth grade starts, and the fifth grade is grasped, which is too exaggerated. A small detachment is only a few dozen people, and the dragon sparrow is equipped with crossbow guns, and it is invincible to carry out surprise attacks, break formations, and chase and hang. ”

"I'm wondering too!"

Zuo Qian twisted his beard and sighed: "The key is that those middle-level masters are very young, and they cooperate quite tacitly. ”

Li Shengze asked again: "Eh, chief, look at the battle report, the Shuai army suddenly sacrificed a weapon called a cannon, which is quite powerful......

Zuo Qian smiled bitterly: "Isn't it quite powerful, it's terrifying, do you understand horror?" Turning around the large-scale charge, big black balls with flames flew out of the huge iron pipes, the speed was very fast, smashing into the dense crowd and blasting, the scene was like a fried fish, flesh and blood flying, and the range was very large...... Many people still think that there are demons in the army of the marshal!"

As he spoke, he shook his head, remembering the "big holes" in the Red Dragon Society and the Dongjiang faction at that time.

Li Shengze said: "Chief, it seems that it is not for nothing that Li Wuchang's kid attaches so much importance to craftsmen...... Ballistas, earth mines, ballista carts, and now a cannon has arrived, and the devil knows what else they have. ”

Zuo Qian said: "That's just one aspect, although the weapon is good, it is not enough to kill." The most powerful thing about the French Shuai Army is the overall momentum, the top and bottom are united, going forward and successive, not afraid of death, and finally even the firehead army has gone into battle to boost morale.

Lu Shikai and Xiang Tai were not convinced, and brought a large number of masters to attack the artillery position of the French Shuai's army, and at that time, there were Baidao masters to help, and Li Wuchang also went into battle in person, and did not hesitate to risk his life to lead Lu Shikai and Xiang Tai away.

Although the position is not big, the artillery did not fight much, but the intensity is no worse than any battlefield, I was watching from the sidelines, the corpses on the ground were spread in several layers, the French commander still no one flinched, and the group of first-class masters was forced to retreat, there was really such a thing as teeth, biting the enemy's thigh and being dragged for more than ten zhang without letting go, taking out a small dagger from the trouser leg and stabbing it around, and finally being carried back by his own people for treatment, his uncle, if it wasn't a madman, could he do that kind of fucking thing?"

"Did Li Wuchang really lead away Xiang Tai and Lu Shikai alone?" Li Shengze opened his mouth wide, although this battle report was written, he didn't believe it, thinking that it was passed on by the French Shuai Army in order to strengthen Li Wuchang's prestige.

"Is that still a fake?"

Zuo Qian's expression was very serious, and he affirmed: "Lu Shikai is a ninth grade after all, and Xiang Tai should not be underestimated. It's also thanks to Li Wuchang's courage that kid is bold enough. The three guys ran very fast, and they disappeared in an instant, and it was estimated that they would have to chase for a long time before they could fight, so I gave up my plan to catch up and take a look. ”

With such emotion, Li Shengze asked: "Chief, then we will fight with the French Shuai Army in the future?"

Zuo Qian thought for a moment, "Don't take the initiative to provoke them first." ”

Jiujiang, Sikong Sheng frowned and pondered, and only after a long time did he say to his subordinates: "Send someone to talk to Tang Feihu for me, make an appointment, I want to talk to him in detail, Jingzhou will soon change." ”

In the capital, Lin Yong and his elder brother Lin Ju got together rarely, "Second brother, you go to Jingzhou to watch it, don't make a move easily, do you understand what I mean?"

Lin Ju said respectfully: "Understood, big brother!"

......

Unlike Zuo Qian, Li Zhongyue is secretly happy now.

It's great that the French army actually won.

Because he was secretly happy, his subordinates couldn't see it, and someone sighed: "Captain Li, fortunately, you are witty, you didn't get involved in the big battlefield, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses!"

Li Zhongyue straightened his body and said solemnly: "This kind of scene, of course, you have to be witty. Since its development, the French marshal army has not been to be underestimated, and no large army wants to take advantage, and there is only a dead end. Xiang Tai and Lu Shikai are so majestic, didn't they run away in the end?"

All the subordinates had palpitations, and Qi claimed to be.

Another humane: "Captain, I heard that His Royal Highness the King of Shu has ordered to advance into Nanjun, should we also go over?"

Li Zhongyue nodded, "The commander of the law and the Liang Zi of the Red Dragon Society and the Dongjiang faction are deeper. It was only a matter of time before the army advanced into Jingzhou, and Xiangyang bore the brunt, and this was the perfect time to take back the northern part of Nanjun. We have received orders to go to South County to help.
