Planning for the battlefield comes first, but adapting to the situation is the most important thing. Being able to fight with the Xianbei elite cavalry who are surprised on the grassland with the newly established soldiers is already considered very good.
"Zilong, don't blame yourself. As the saying goes, everything depends on people and everything depends on heaven. The Xianbei cavalry is the elite of the grassland. The performance of the newly established Changshan Cavalry Army has greatly exceeded my expectations. How can I be punished?
, should be rewarded.”
Although Yuan Shu was angry, now was not the time to be angry, so he quickly changed his mood and began to comfort Zhao Yun.
"Thank you, Lord~"
"Thank you, Lord~"
Zhao Yun and Gao Lan saluted again.
Tian Feng on the side watched Yuan Shu's face turn from red to black, and then from black to red again, and nodded unconsciously.
As Yuan Shu said, everything depends on people, and everything depends on heaven. The Xianbei people would escape, and they could even run with two thousand cavalry in time. No one could have imagined this, and this hat cannot be pinned on Zhao Yun's head.
Those who are rewarded will be rewarded, and those who are punished will be punished. Not only did the Lord do it, but he also took the opportunity to win people's hearts. Yes, yes.
"My lord, this battle has been decided. It's better to send someone back to Zhending to report the news, and at the same time clean up the battlefield and return to Zhending as soon as possible~"
Seeing that the guests of honor were enjoying themselves, Tian Feng stood up.
"Well, that's exactly what Yuan Hao said. Yan Liang, hurry up and report the military situation to Jushou. At the same time, let him prepare the place. Although these Xianbei thieves are not rich, these war horses are good things."
"No~"
After Yan Liang finished speaking, he immediately got on his horse, whipped his riding whip and galloped towards Zhending Mansion.
"The remaining people will clean up the battlefield immediately, and our class will return to true samadhi~"
"No~"
"No~"
"No~"
Five days later, Yuan Shu led his army back to Zhending Mansion.
Taishou Mansion Banquet Hall
The huge hall was crowded with people, filled with Yuan Shu's loyal ministers.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Linglong returned to the back room and called Yuan Shu out.
As soon as Yuan Shu came out, everyone stood up and saluted.
"Lord~"
"Lord~"
"Lord~"
"Gentlemen, there is no need to salute, please sit down~"
Yuan Shu sat down on the master's seat and pressed his hands to his subordinates.
"Thank you, Lord~"
"Thank you, Lord~"
"Thank you, Lord~"
"Yuan Hao, it's time to start~"
Seeing everyone sitting down, Yuan Shu nodded to Tian Feng.
"The military report for this battle at Panshe Ridge is as follows.
Two hundred and thirty of the prefect's close cavalry were killed in the battle, fifty-six were seriously injured, and all were slightly injured.
Changshan Cavalry lost 540 people in battle, 210 were seriously injured, and all suffered minor injuries.
Of the militia and heavy armored infantry, 210 were killed, 170 were seriously injured, and 1,400 were slightly injured.
Thirty-five people in the Nu camp were killed, 15 were seriously injured, and 130 were slightly injured.
Four hundred and twenty spearmen were killed, 370 were seriously injured, and 3,400 were slightly injured.
Fifty-eight of the Zhao family's knights were killed in the battle, 35 were seriously injured, and all were slightly injured.
Eight of the Li family's guards were killed in the battle, 14 were slightly injured, and no one was seriously injured.
A total of 1,501 people were killed, 856 were seriously injured, and countless others were slightly injured.
In addition, more than 700 war horses were broken, more than 600 oxen were broken, more than 1,900 pieces of armor were broken, more than 700 handles of ring-headed knives were broken, and the bows and crossbows were not damaged."
The serious injuries Tian Feng said were actually just a way of saying things. According to past experience, 50% of these seriously injured people would have to give up and return home, while the rest would not be able to return to battle even if they could be cured.
Every time Tian Feng reported a number, Yuan Shu's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that he had planned well this time, and that there were four peerless generals assisting him in the battle, which would cause him heavy losses.
1,500 were killed and 850 were seriously injured, which totaled 2,350 people. His current total number of troops was only more than 13,000. This is a loss of nearly 20%. In addition,
The war horses, the oxen, the armor, the wear and tear of the weapons, and the pensions, etc. are really worth ten thousand taels of gold when the cannon goes off.
After a pause, Tian Feng spoke again.
"Although our army suffered heavy casualties in this battle, the results were also amazing.
The Xianbei people invaded the border area with a total of more than 15,000 riders. Except for the 2,000 riders who escaped,
Of the remaining 13,000 cavalry, we killed more than 6,000 and captured nearly 7,000.
We captured more than 9,000 war horses, more than 10,000 scimitar handles, more than 11,000 grassland war bows, 12,000 taels of gold, 35,000 taels of silver, and countless copper coins."
Compared with the cruelty and heavyness of the first battle report, the second battle report made Yuan Shu happy. He killed more than 6,000 people and captured nearly 7,000 people. This was an absolute victory.
The Xianbei cavalry is no better than those Yellow Turbans. These are elite prairie cavalry who come and go like the wind. If they are reported to the cavalry, they will probably be promoted to a noble rank by the imperial court.
Nine thousand war horses, more than 10,000 scimitars, and more than 11,000 war bows, these are all real gold and silver.
Although the weapons of the grassland people are crude, these things can solve the urgent need for weapons and equipment. Moreover, the income from nine thousand horses is enough for him to transform his cavalry into a wind knight with three riders.
"Yan Liang~"
"Here~"
"The pension work for the fallen soldiers is still left to you. Their sons and fathers sacrificed their lives and blood for Changshan County without fear of life and death. As a prefect, I naturally cannot treat them badly. Again, if you dare to go
Anyone who stretches out his claws here will be killed without mercy~"
"No~"
"Wen Chou, Zhao Yun, Gao Lan~"
"Here~"
The three of them came out together and half-knelt in front of Yuan Shu.
"You each sort out the military achievements of your subordinates, and then report them to me together. I will reward you as you deserve~"
"No~"
"Jushou~"
"I'm here~"
Ju Shou stood outside the field and saluted Yuan Shu.
"Immediately draft a document and memorial. I want to report this great victory to the imperial court and report the merits of our Changshan Army~"
After hearing Yuan Shu's words, Ju Shou did not agree immediately.
"Lord~"
"Zezhu, what's going on~"
After looking at Ju Shou, Yuan Shu was filled with doubts.
"I'm afraid this great victory cannot be reported to the imperial court~"
As soon as Jushu opened his mouth, everyone except Tian Feng had angry faces.
"Master Jun Cheng, why can't you report your merits? Do you want my Changshan man's blood to be shed in vain?"
Wen Chou suddenly had a bad temper, and immediately exploded after hearing Ju Shou's words.
"Wen Chou ~ Apologize to Jujun Cheng ~"
Seeing Wen Chou confronting Ju Sue, Yuan Shu couldn't help but frown. This was his future military advisor, and even he himself couldn't contradict him at will.
Looking at Yuan Shu's dark face, Wen Chou knew that he had violated his master's taboo.
"Jun Cheng, Wen Chou was rash just now, please don't take offense~"
Although Wen Chou was forced by Yuan Shu to apologize to Ju Shou, he was not convinced at all.
"Wen Chou, this is the first time and I hope it will be the last time. I will go back and get the ten army sticks by myself later. If I do it again, I will definitely kill him without mercy. It is not just Wen Chou, it is the same for you. Do you understand?"
"No~"
"No~"
"No~"
Wen Chou, Wen Chou, don't blame me. It won't be easy for you, these arrogant and powerful generals, to be placed under anyone's command. I can only use your butt to establish prestige for Ju Sue and others, so as not to make a big mistake later and it will be too late.
"My lord, it's not Wen Chou's fault, it's just that Professor didn't explain it clearly~"
