Chapter 405 After the war, disastrous defeat and disastrous victory
Author: unknown
Yuyuan City, like Yonghua City, is a small city.
At dawn, the Yue Emperor rushed to Yuyuan City on horseback and finally met Qiao Wanjun.
Seeing the seriously injured Qiao Wanjun, the Emperor of Yue could not help but feel sad and concerned.
However, the Emperor of Yue soon dispelled these irrelevant emotions.
The battle of Yonghua City has just ended, and there are still many things that he needs to deal with in the aftermath.
Qiao Wanjun didn't rest either. After re-bandaging the wound, he fell into busyness.
The battle at Yong Hua City resulted in the defeat of all the millions of troops of the Dai Viet Dynasty, and the 300,000 civilian warriors suffered numerous casualties.
The most important thing for them now is to gather the defeated troops who broke away from Yonghua City and understand the losses of the Giant Spirit Dynasty in this battle.
As time went by, many defeated troops retreated to the vicinity of Yuyuan City.
Three days later, Qiao Wanjun generally obtained the losses and results of this battle.
With the exception of 180,000 defeated soldiers, all of the million-strong army were killed on the battlefield. The casualties of 300,000 civilian warriors should be around 70%.
This battle almost exhausted all the resources accumulated by the Dai Viet Dynasty for ten years.
It can be said that the Dai Viet Dynasty was completely defeated in this battle.
But the results they achieved were not bad. More than half of the two million troops of the Giant Spirit Dynasty were lost, and the attrition should be more than 60%.
Qiao Wanjun could not find out the specific data, but he roughly estimated that the Giant Spirit Dynasty's loss of troops in this battle should be more than 1.2 million.
The 100,000 Tiger Guards cavalry alone killed 300,000 enemies. With fewer enemies and more enemies, they killed three times the enemy. With such results, the Tiger Guards cavalry deserved the name of elite.
However, thinking of the Tiger Guard cavalry, Qiao Wanjun felt a burst of sadness in his heart.
Not one of the 100,000 Tiger Guards came back.
A whole hundred thousand!
As for the cavalry, if they want to escape from the battlefield, they will be able to retain at least 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers, not to mention retreating completely.
But Qiao Wanjun waited for three full days, but not a single Tiger Guard cavalry arrived.
For this reason, Qiao Wanjun sat in the bedroom for more than half an hour.
The Tiger Guard Cavalry was established by him, and almost all of its generals were his disciples, and several of them were even his descendants.
As a result, the whole army was now destroyed, and one can imagine the grief in his heart.
After sitting for half an hour, Qiao Wanjun walked out of the bedroom with red eyes.
"Condolences!"
Cheng Zhiqiu stood outside the door and didn't know what to say when he saw him like this.
He knows better than anyone else the hard work that Qiao Wanjun put into the Tiger Guard Cavalry in the Dai Viet Dynasty.
An ugly smile appeared on Qiao Wanjun's weathered face.
"It's okay for me, everyone is mortal, they will die, and I will die too!"
"Where is your Majesty!"
"In the main hall!" Cheng Zhiqiu said.
Qiao Wanjun nodded and said: "Let's go, don't keep your Majesty waiting!"
Then the two came to the main hall, where Emperor Yue was sitting in the hall waiting with a tired look on his face. At the same time, Ye Gucheng was also sitting in the hall.
Taoist Tongxin has woken up from his coma, but his injuries are relatively serious. It is estimated that it will take two to three months to recover.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!" The two men bowed and saluted.
Yue Huang said: "Sit down!"
The two of them sat down.
The Emperor of Yue said: "Now we have less than 200,000 available troops!"
They had almost used all their trump cards in this battle, and now they had less than 200,000 defeated troops under their command, and even Tiange City only had a few government officials left.
Qiao Wanjun shook his head and said, "No, we still have millions of soldiers available."
"Where?" Emperor Yue was startled and asked.
"Among the people!" Qiao Wanjun said.
There are 300,000 civilian warriors participating in the war this time, but there are definitely more than these civilian warriors in Dai Viet. Many warriors are still on their way or have just received the news.
Although civilian warriors have not received military training and cannot be considered elite soldiers, their strength should not be underestimated.
The Emperor of Yue thought for a while and asked, "Is it still too late?"
"It's too late!" Qiao Wanjun said with certainty.
Now that the giant army has suffered serious losses, it will be impossible to attack them for a while. They still have at least half a month to twenty days.
This period of time is enough for them to recruit hundreds of thousands of civilian warriors.
In this way, although they still cannot defeat the giant army, they have enough power to hold back the giant army and prevent the giant army from continuing to attack.
This is the result Qiao Wanjun wants.
After the Emperor Yue thought about this clearly, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good to still have a chance to breathe!
"But we may need reinforcements from the alliance next!" Qiao Wanjun looked at Ye Gucheng next to him.
The Emperor of Yue also looked at Ye Gucheng and couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Ye, when will reinforcements from more than the alliance come?"
They put all their hopes on Dali and the Sky Alliance.
Now they have almost exhausted everything. If the reinforcements from Dali and the Sky Alliance cannot arrive in time, then all their efforts before will be in vain.
Ye Gucheng said calmly: "The reinforcements have set off from Yuluo Sea Area!"
"Really!" the Yue Emperor was surprised.
"Yes!" Ye Gucheng nodded affirmatively.
"Then when will it arrive?" Emperor Yue couldn't help but ask again.
Ye Gucheng shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know much about the Imperial Dynasty's military. I only know that they have already set off. I don't know exactly when they will arrive!"
Emperor Yue was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he also knew that Ye Gucheng was just a tribute to Dali, so it was reasonable for him not to understand these circumstances.
Does Ye Gucheng really not know?
No!
He knew that Wu Sheng had brought reinforcements to the former Kyoto of the Dai Viet Dynasty.
The reason why they didn't tell Yue Huang and others was to help Wu Sheng and others keep it secret.
After all, if Wu Sheng wanted to capture the former Kyoto, he would naturally have to take it by surprise.
If the news comes out, Wu Sheng's plan may fail.
Later, the Emperor of Yue discussed the defense plan with Qiao Wanjun. In fact, their idea was very simple, which was to recruit warriors from the private sector as soon as possible, and then re-build a defense line in Yuyuan City to try their best to block the attack of the giant spirit army.
While the Yue Emperor and Qiao Wanjun were discussing the defensive plan, Gu Shidao and Zuo Qing in Yonghua City were also discussing the subsequent offensive plan.
In the bright hall, Gu Shidao looked a little pale.
"That means we can't launch an attack now!"
He said with some dissatisfaction.
Zuo Qing said bitterly: "The soldiers suffered too many casualties. It takes time to treat the wounded. We also lost a lot of combat equipment and equipment. Moreover, after the bloody battle we just experienced, the soldiers are exhausted and have low morale!"
They won, but it was a miserable victory.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible to continue the march without taking half a month and twenty days of rest.
A reckless advance may cause unnecessary commotion.
The Djinn Dynasty was different from the Dai Viet Dynasty. The Djinn Dynasty only went out to fight. Although the soldiers had the courage to fight to the death, they did not go to the point of sinking the ship.
The Dai Viet Dynasty really had no way to escape and had no choice but to fight to the death, so countless civilian warriors abandoned their homes and careers to join the battlefield.
Gu Shidao let out a long sigh.
"What a missed opportunity!"
Zuo Qing shook his head and said: "There is nothing we can do about this. We can still mobilize three to four hundred thousand troops to launch an attack, but we are not sure of a decisive victory!"
At present, they still have close to 800,000 troops left, but they certainly cannot attack them all. The most they can do is dispatch 300,000 to 400,000 troops.
If they only have 300,000 to 400,000 troops, they really are not 100% sure of taking over Yuyuan City, and they might even be defeated by Yuyuan City.
If we lose, the result will be even more embarrassing, so we might as well not attack.
Gu Shidao nodded and said: "Then let's take a break for the time being!"
"However, we still need reinforcements. We should report to the court as soon as possible and request follow-up reinforcements."
"Also, about Dali~~"
Having said this, he paused slightly.
He has already reported to the Giant Spirit Court about the appearance of strong men from Dali on the battlefield. This matter is of great importance and they must treat it with caution.
"Forget it, let your Majesty handle this matter!" Gu Shidao shook his head gently and said.
He couldn't care about Dali's affairs here at all, so he could only leave the matter to the Giant Spirit Emperor and the Giant Spirit Court.
…
Dali Kyoto.
The war between the Djinn Dynasty and the Dai Viet Dynasty had no impact on Dali.
After Qin Wei sent Wu Sheng and Donghai Navy, he did not continue to pay attention to this matter. It was not that he did not care about the war between the Juling Dynasty and the Dayue Dynasty, but because he would not accept the fate of the foreign emperor.
Qin Wei was unable to direct the war thousands of miles away, nor could he understand the war in time, so he might as well let Wu Sheng do his best.
Besides, there were military planes watching, so there was no need for him to point fingers.
In contrast, he paid more attention to the news brought by Li Xun and Yan Zhen, and was more interested in the remonstrance of Yu Yun, the hermit cultivator of Xihai.
This Xihai hermit is obviously planning something, and the target of his plan is the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
Qin Wei wanted to know his purpose and thoughts.
So after meeting Li Xun and Yan Zhen, Qin Wei waited for the arrival of this Xihai hermit. (End of this chapter)
