Compared with the Liang army who returned victoriously, the scene in the Yan army camp was slightly sad.

Many soldiers were slightly injured and limped back to the military camp with each other. The wailings and choking sounds reminded me of a large number of wounded soldiers being transported to various barracks.

Most of these people were infantrymen in the rear army, and many of them were panic about escaping from death.

Of course, the cavalry also suffered a lot of losses, especially the nearly 4,000 cavalry soldiers who fought against the Modao Formation many times. In addition, those who lost and were injured in the cavalry war later, Zhou Weiran suffered this battle.

It's indeed a little distressed.

As soon as the defeated army returned to the battalion, they began to strengthen the defense between the battalions, dig deep into the trenches, arrange deer antlers, and strengthen their garrisons, for fear that the Liang army would take advantage of their new defeat to launch a sneak attack.

Night slowly descended, and bonfires rose in the Yan army camp, and the continuous camps were brightly lit.

Zhou Weiran sat in the big tent with a depressed look on his face, staring at the map from time to time and dazed.

When he escaped from Fuzhou City, he had been looking forward to the day when he met Chen Yue. He wanted to take down Chen Yue's head to pay tribute to his father, to pay tribute to his emperor dream, and to wash away the defeat of Fuzhou.

shame.

In the past or two years in Dongting, he also prepared his troops and attracted a large number of surrendered soldiers and generals from the Northern Jin Dynasty and gathered a large army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 people. Isn’t it just to defeat Chen on the battlefield?

Yue, conquer Liaodong and occupy Northern Liang?

But reality is cruel. Six years have passed, and when the two sides met on the battlefield again, Zhou Weiran was still defeated, and he was defeated with his own troops twice as strong as Chen Yue.

Compared with a few years ago, the Liang army is now more powerful than the Liangzhou army at that time, with more soldiers and more powerful generals, with excellent weapons, and completely unified orders. Most generals followed Chen Yue step by step.

Walked up.

As for me, I followed my vine armor army and Blood-Devouring Guard wholeheartedly, so many loyal generals and schoolmen were gone. I could only rely on my interests to win over some of the original Jin generals. I would say that they were loyal, and Zhou Weiran would not dare to do so either.

Trust them completely, it is always a bit unpleasant to use such men.

The more Zhou Weiran thought about it, the more hated he became, and his palms were unconsciously clenched into fists.

After he felt soothed alone for a while, Wanyan Bi finally walked in step by step.

"King." Wanyan Bi bowed his hand casually and regarded it as a salute.

"Has the casualties been counted?" Zhou Weiran asked softly, holding his forehead.

Wanyan Bi nodded slightly: "Ninety thousand soldiers died in battle, including 6,000 cavalrymen. If they were seriously injured, they would be even more. They would be less injured."

"Oh shit."

Zhou Weiran cursed angrily: "I suffered a big loss in the first head-on confrontation."

Originally, Zhou Weiran thought that he would win by leading the Liang army out of the city and fighting, but the Liang army came out, but he was defeated by himself.

Wanyan Bi looked up at Zhou Weiran and said nothing.

If you feel sorry for him, he must be more distressed than Zhou Weiran. Those who died were all golden men.

Forget those thousands of infantry recruits, it is not a big loss, but the more than 6,000 elite cavalry are treasures. The elite soldiers left by the Northern Jin Dynasty will die a little less, and it will take a little longer to wait until the new recruits are tempered into elites.

Every bloody battle.

"The main responsibility for this defeat lies with me. I blame myself for not being able to see through Chen Yue's tricks." Zhou Weiran took all the responsibility on himself with one hand.

In fact, after withdrawing from the battalion, he also figured out that the way to win this battle is to invest the troops little by little to fight the attrition war with the Liang army, so that the side can maximize its own military advantage.

But I was too greedy and wanted to eat all Chen Yue's main force as soon as I came up. In the end, I threw all my personal troops into the battlefield, and the Liang army took advantage of the loopholes.

"Victory and defeat are common in military affairs. The prince still needs to see how we will take next step? With the hundreds of thousands of soldiers in my Dongting, this loss is not much." Wanyan Bi curled his lips and said.

Before, his vanguard army was attacked by a sneak attack, but now Zhou Weiran has suffered another defeat, one person once, just in time to get even.

Hearing this, Zhou Weiran rubbed his face hard with his hands and cheered up a little.

"Look." Zhou Weiran walked to the map, pointed to the location of Luoyun City and said: "On the east and west sides of Luoyun City, and between Yishui, there are forts and beacons established by the Liang Army. Let's first

Pull out these annoying nails and then face Luoyun City.

This time we did not go to war with the Liang army blindly. Relying on our military advantage, infantry was in front, and the cavalry was accompanying us, and we were steadily fighting! Prevent the Liang army from sneak attacking infantry.

The message was sent to the country, and the Prime Minister was asked to speed up the supervision of the construction of more siege equipment to go to the front line to make up for the previous losses!

Now the army rests for a few days first, and launches an attack as soon as the domestic siege equipment arrives!"

Wanyan Bi nodded: "Your plan is safe, just do it like this!"

...

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed, and the Yan army stationed on the banks of the Yishui River fell into silence. After a defeat, they became much more honest.

During these days, the Liang army was not idle. Infants drawn from Shuntan land often entered Luoyun City to strengthen their defensive forces.

Currently, half of the troops in Luoyun City are cavalry, mainly to prevent large-scale field battles. Next, it may be transformed into a protracted offensive and defensive battle, so infantry became the big ones.

As Xue Leihan came back with the infantry, Xue Leihan, who had just returned, immediately came to Chen Yue with great swagger.

Looking at Xue Leihan who was pouring tea into his throat with his mouth wide at the table, Chen Yue chuckled and said, "Why, haven't you been discussing matters related to food and grass with Lord Tong? Why are you back so soon?"

"Oh, I'm just going to have a look." Xue Leihan waved his hand and said, "There are Lord Tong and Leng Guinan staring at each other's food and grass, and there is no mistake. But I happened to receive a letter from the Chang family in Tanzhou, so

Let's come back to see the prince first."

"The letter from the Chang family?" Chen Yue was stunned: "What, is there anything wrong with Pinghan Dao?"

Chen Yue thought that when Yan State attacked Liaodong, he would never let the Chang family soldiers watch.

"I don't know the specific situation, but the eldest grandson of the Chang family is going to Tanzhou in a few days and is here to visit the prince." Xue Leihan said to himself.

"That's it. The war in Beiliang has begun. I want to go back to Beiliang. Then go to Tanzhou to meet him." Chen Yue stretched and said.

"Go, Mu Yunduankang and Baili Shen are in charge in Beiliang. I'm afraid the war is much more steep than Liaodong." A little solemn appeared in Xue Leihan's eyes.

Chen Yue narrowed his eyes slightly: "These two are not simple~ The war in Liaodong will be left to Xin Ji and you. If there is any emergency, please inform Beiliang."
