Chapter 881: Morale is low, and the army is in chaos
The 24 squads of the Five Merchants Allied Army, totaling 120 people, launched hundreds of attacks and harassments against the three armies of the Henan Army, causing heavy losses to the two armies in front and behind the Henan Army.
The twenty-four squads of the Five Merchants Alliance completed the first phase of the attack and harassment mission, so that the Henan Army, which originally only wanted to be stationed for a short rest and recuperation, was forced to delay the start time indefinitely. The front and rear roads of the Chinese army were blocked by the front and rear armies in chaos, and it took some effort to return to Luozhou City to deliver the letter.
Of course, now that the 100 elite soldiers of the Five Merchants Alliance are blocking the way for the Henan army to return to Luozhou City, it is also a question whether the Henan army can convey their message back.
When the commander of the Henan Army finally led people to calm down the chaos of the front and rear armies and count the losses, he felt a burst of distress and fire.
Of the 2,000 vanguard troops and 2,000 cavalry, none of them were unwounded, of which less than 600 were lightly wounded, two-thirds were seriously wounded, and nearly 100 were killed.
3,000 rear troops, 3,000 pure infantry, escorted the grain and grass of the 20,000 army, and as a result, the grain and grass that was enough for the 20,000 army to march for three days was burned. I don't know what kind of fire those sneak attackers used, the fire was lit on the grain and grass, but the water could not be extinguished, and the clothes could not be beaten, so that the loss of the grain and grass reached the extent that the commander was so angry that he directly ordered the execution of several generals who escorted the grain and grass as scapegoats. As for the 3,000 infantry escorting grain and grass, as many as 100 were burned alive because they caught fire while fighting fires, and nearly 1,000 were burned and lost their combat effectiveness. Although the casualties of this rear army are not as terrifying as those of the previous army, reaching a devastating level, they are also quite heavy.
As for the Chinese army, they were attacked when they were not yet stationed, and it happened to hit the weakest place in the front of the Chinese army, although the enemy only shot hundreds of arrows, but because those arrows were hidden in gunpowder, and the arrows were also tied to harassment mines, so under the triple effect of explosion, burning and arrow rain, the Chinese army also suffered hundreds of casualties. Later, when the Chinese army was in chaos, the casualties caused by the trampling were close to 1,000. However, the number of battle losses of the Chinese army was also comparable to that of the rear army.
But what made the commander of the Henan army feel humiliated and angry the most was that Rao was the first to find out that the situation was wrong, and quickly sent his personal guards cavalry to pursue the enemy, but his 1,000 personal guards cavalry were stunned and chased for a night, but they gained nothing.
In the end, he only knew that those enemy troops seemed to be pure cavalry, and they were quite well-trained, and they were quite orderly between attack and defense when advancing and retreating, alternately covering each other and retreating into the vast mountains.
After dealing with the chaos in the army, the commander of the Henan army sent a thousand soldiers and horses to escort the casualties of the three armies back to Luozhou City. The 20,000 Henan troops were originally the defenders of Luozhou City, and most of them were natives of Luozhou City. Although the commander of the Henan Army had the intention to mention the morale of the three armies, he had little effect. In order to prevent the enemy's sneak attack at night, he specially strengthened the night guard and patrol, but found that many soldiers in his own unit were quietly fleeing.
This naturally provoked the commander of the Henan Army to be furious, and after the law enforcement team killed some of the captured deserters, the momentum of the deserters was slightly suppressed.
It's just that this night, until dawn, the Five Merchants Alliance did not attack them again, but it made those Henan Army officers and soldiers nervous all night.
