Due to being too tired, Liu Chengyou could only feel that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and the sun and the moon were dim. When he opened his eyes drowsily, he realized that it was really late at night. However, through the ceiling of the tent, You can see from the gap that the crescent moon hanging in the night sky is very bright, with wisps of clear light shining down along with the starlight, and the surrounding area is quiet.
The body is still full of sleepiness, and the brain is blank for a moment, just wanting to fall to the ground and sleep again. Staying up late again, this time, is much harder than the previous battle at Sheephead Mountain. The physical and mental pressure alone is not a single amount. class.
Liu Chengyou's current state is a bit like the feeling in his previous life. When he was still in college, he made appointments with his classmates to sit all night at the Internet cafe for five consecutive nights on Friday. He had breakfast at dawn, went back to the dormitory to fight until noon, and then lay there until Sunday. .However, the current state is naturally much worse.
After a while, he regained consciousness, took a few deep breaths, and suppressed the desire to close his eyes and go back to sleep. Liu Chengyou stood up and shouted outside the tent: "Here comes someone!"
"Your Highness." A soldier captain entered.
"What time is it?" Liu Chengyou asked, his head feeling dizzy and aching, he put his palm on his forehead and rubbed it.
"It's past Hai hour," the captain replied.
Liu Chengyou was slightly stunned: "Didn't I tell you to wake me up at dusk?"
The captain lowered his head. Seeing this, Liu Chengyou asked, "Where is Li Chongju?"
"Li Dutou..." The captain hesitated: "Outside the tent."
A trace of doubt flashed in his eyes. Liu Chengyou put on his shoes and stood up, walking out of the tent. He saw Li Chongju kneeling there with his head lowered.
"Why are you doing this?" Liu Chengyou asked.
Hearing the sound, Li Chongju raised his head, his honest face full of fatigue, and replied in a low voice: "Your Highness, please punish me!"
Lifting his fingers to rub his swollen eyes, Liu Chengyou took some time off: "Oh? What crime do you have?"
"I resisted orders on the battlefield last night, and tonight I took matters into my own hands and disobeyed His Highness's orders..."
"As you said, the crimes you committed were all capital crimes. How do you think Gu Dang should be dealt with?" Liu Chengyou twitched the corner of his mouth and said.
Hearing this, Li Chongju blinked a little awkwardly, and after being silent for a while, Fang Weng said in a loud voice: "No matter how Your Highness is convicted, he will have no complaints in his humble position."
After examining Li Chongju for a while, Liu Chengyou waved his hand to him impatiently: "If you feel uneasy, go to Guo Rong yourself and let him judge the crime and punishment. Well... As for now, don't kneel down. Come on, I’ll give you another mission.”
"Please give me your instructions, Your Highness." Li Chongju looked solemn.
Moving his fingers, Liu Chengyou said: "Go find someone and get me some food, I'm hungry!"
He was a little dazed at first, but then Li Chongju came to his senses, said yes, and turned around. Looking at his back, he was slightly staggering, and it seemed that he had been kneeling for a long time.
Liu Chengyou then turned his attention to the surroundings. The camp was already very large. People from Longqi, Jin, Yan, officials, and people from all walks of life gathered together. Guo Rong, Xiang Xun and others arranged everything very well and orderly. It was orderly, although there were a lot of people, but there was no chaos. The defense was not compromised, the Yingzhalu Village was set up in a very organized manner, and the patrolling soldiers did not seem to be slacking off.
Liu Chengyou was basically in the middle of the entire camp. He walked around and inspected the area, lay down on a cart piled with thatch, and looked at the night sky. At this time, his heart felt a little empty.
He couldn't help but replay the battle before and after in his mind. No matter how he thought about it, it felt unreal. Suddenly, a gust of wind came from the southeast. His already greasy hair was stirred up. Feeling the wind blowing, Liu Chengyou suddenly felt My mind cleared.
I had some bad taste in my heart. Although there was no meteorite falling into the enemy camp during last night's battle, there was still something to be said for that fierce summer wind. I can barely be considered a wind wizard...
Following the wind, I looked to the northwest and saw a large dense forest. Although it was far away, I could clearly hear the rustling of the wind and the chirping of summer insects.
Then, it should be "Kill Hu Lin".
Liu Chengyou thought this in his mind, and at the same time secretly decided to order someone to erect a monument tomorrow. By the way, he would find another Jin minister to write an inscription on this battle and engrave it on it.
When Liu Chengyou returned to the military tent, the food was ready and cold. However, he was hungry, and he was not a picky person. He ignored the food and wolfed it down to satisfy his hunger. When wiping his mouth, he wiped his chin , feeling the numb and itchy feeling, Liu Chengyou discovered that in these two days and two nights, the stubble had grown wildly.
After eating and drinking, Liu Chengyou began to disturb people's sleep, and ordered people to summon officers above the military level of the Longqi Army and two horse army commanders to conduct a post-war summary.
Two old faces suddenly disappeared. The commander of the Second Army, Sun Li, was still in a coma. He was still hanging on for his life after so long. It should be possible to recover.
Fortunately, Zhang Yanwei, Guo Rong, Xiang Xun, Ma Quanyi, and Murong Yanzhao are still there.
"How is the situation of the Liao army?" Liu Chengyou first asked Han Tong who returned.
"The Liao army retreated to Zhending to collect the defeated troops and reorganize them." Han Tong replied: "Your Highness, Zhending is only more than fifty miles away from Luan City. Once the army is reorganized, I am afraid that it will come south to take revenge!"
"How can it be so easy to recover from collapsed morale?" Liu Chengyou said, "However, we have to take precautions, strengthen our vigilance, and send people to keep an eye on Zhending City!"
"yes!"
At the moment, Liu Chengyou is really not afraid of the Liao army coming back, at least he is not afraid of the Liao army that is really determined.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Chengyou glanced around and said, "Tell me, what was the damage in the battle? What was the result?"
Upon hearing the inquiry, Xiang Xun presented a book to Liu Chengyou, in which the general situation was basically summarized. Liu Chengyou flipped through it while listening to his dictation.
The casualties of the Longqi Army can only be described as heavy. There were 8,000 soldiers before the war, but only 5,000 returned to the camp after the war, and half of them were carrying soldiers of varying severity. There were people who died from serious injuries in the camp. .The rest were all lost in the battle formation, either killed or missing. It is impossible to recover all the bodies.
The loss of the officers was not small. One of the two army commanders was killed and one was wounded. The battalion commander at the lower level lost one-third, and the commanders and brigade officers at the lower level were even more. Secondly, some of the three or two armies were simply killed. , no one from the team returned alive...
Along with Xiang Xun's narration, several generals in the tent couldn't help but look sad, and the atmosphere gradually became dull.
Regarding the battle losses, Liu Chengyou actually had some idea. He put on a relieved look and said: "No matter how high the price is, the bet will win after all. We are the winners. The soldiers fought bloody battles, and their blood was not shed in vain."
Liu Chengyou can basically imagine how the battle against Luancheng will be described in future history books. It will probably be mixed with phrases such as "outnumbered enemies", "foundation battle", "strategic victory", "historical turning point" and so on.
Not to mention other effects that cannot be seen for the time being, compared to the fruitful results, the Longqi Army's battle losses were insignificant.
The exact number is that there were more than 110,000 soldiers from the Yan army, Khitans from the Liao army, Xi Ren and other Hu soldiers. Half of them stayed here and died in the chaos. Nearly 20,000 horses, cattle and sheep were captured. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of ordnance, and countless goods...
Successively won the surrender of Jin soldiers and Yan soldiers.
Of course, the Yan army suffered serious casualties, nearly half of them; the Jin army surrendered and the survivors were less than 10,000; as for the common people, the situation was even more tragic. The number of corpses on the bank of the Xi River must have been over 100,000, which can be described as tragic. pole.
