Zhou Weiqing then turned around and left, but the two girls soon heard his voice coming from outside, "Haha, I'm going to be a father..."
It took another whole day to clean up the battlefield and it was finally over. The enemy's corpses were dug in big pits outside the city and buried, while the corpses of our own soldiers were returned to the city for their families to claim. Those who had no family members were also unified.
Burial took place.
In terms of pensions, Zhou Weiqing was not stingy, and each fallen soldier's family received a pension of fifty gold coins. This battle was cruel, but it was a historic turning point for the Tiangong Empire and the Wushuang Division.
.After this battle, they finally established a firm foothold in Crescent Moon City.
Ming Yu and his soldiers have also been welcomed into the city, and at Ming Yu's request, they are temporarily responsible for the city's defense.
City Lord's Mansion, meeting hall.
Zhou Weiqing frowned slightly and looked at the generals below who were almost all injured. He took a deep breath and said to Yan Zhexi beside him: "Tell me, what are the casualty statistics?"
Yan Zhexi nodded, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, "Of the 3,000 recruits we recruited, 1,762 were killed in this war, 341 were seriously injured, and the rest were also injured.
Almost all of them suffered minor injuries. Those who can continue to fight in the future are barely around a thousand."
Hearing what Yan Zhexi said, everyone present took a breath. What a cruel war this was! All three thousand recruits were injured or killed, and nearly two-thirds of them died. This was because there were soldiers on the other side of the north city gate.
With Tian'er's strong healing support, the number of deaths was relatively small. On the other side of the south city wall in the frontal battle, more than 85% of the 1,000 recruits were killed.
Zhou Weiqing subconsciously clenched his fists, and his bones made a crackling sound.
Yan Zhexi continued: "Our Peerless Cavalry is well preserved because of its powerful armor protection. Basically, there are no injuries. There are 500 people in the First Battalion of the Peerless Division, 261 are slightly injured, and one is seriously injured.
One hundred and three, death, forty-nine people died."
When he heard the number of death, forty-nine, Zhou Weiqing suddenly stood up from his seat, and then fell back to his seat weakly.
His heart is bleeding! Every unparalleled warrior has been trained with countless efforts, and they are all the best among the best. This time, one-tenth of the number of casualties in the first brigade was compared to the number of new recruits.
, although this is already very little. However, the blow to Zhou Weiqing is even greater.
Even on the battlefield in Northern Xinjiang, the Wushuang Division was unbeatable. This time, nearly fifty brothers actually left this world forever. This made Zhou Weiqing feel uncomfortable.
Lei Zi, who was standing aside, had already turned red, and an unstable aura was constantly erupting from his body.
"Weiqing." Lin Tianao reminded Zhou Weiqing.
Zhou Weiqing took a deep breath again, and then slowly exhaled, "The Wushuang brothers who died in the battle are sent back to the Zhongtian Empire for burial. Let them return to their roots. It would be best if their families can be found. If you can't find them, please contact me."
The Heavenly Empire has made proper arrangements. When it is time to send them off, we will see them off together."
At this point, his eye circles were already red. To others, this battle was a miracle among miracles, but in Zhou Weiqing's heart, it was an extremely heavy blow.
This heavy atmosphere lasted for nearly a quarter of an hour before Zhou Weiqing spoke again, "Korui, what's going on over there at Cressy?"
Kou Rui took a step forward and said: "Crecy's remnant army retreated early this morning. According to our statistics, they were able to withdraw less than 25,000 remnants this time. In other words, during the siege,
Nearly 25,000 of them died in battle. We made the enemy pay nearly ten times the price."
Zhou Weiqing nodded, his face looked a little better, he turned to Ming Yu next to him, stood up, and said: "Brother Ming, thank you very much this time. If you hadn't arrived in time, our battle would have been lost.
If the entire army is wiped out, the losses will definitely increase greatly."
Ming Yu chuckled and said: "I'm honored to be able to provide help in times of need. Death is inevitable in war, and everything must be moved forward."
Zhou Weiqing's mood had recovered a bit at this time, and he said: "Brother Ming, are you here sent by the Feili Empire, or is it your own action?"
Ming Yu smiled calmly and said: "Do you remember our agreement? After I took care of everything, I resigned and left. All I brought with me were my trusted soldiers. I wonder if Captain Zhou can keep his original promise?
"
Hearing what he said, Zhou Weiqing was overjoyed and said, "As much as I wish, I dare not invite you. Brother Ming, you have also seen the combat effectiveness of our Peerless Division, but what we lack most now is an excellent commander like you! No.
Question, I will abdicate and make way for someone new, and the position of division commander will be handed over to you from now on."
Ming Yu was stunned for a moment, and said with deep meaning in his eyes: "Aren't you afraid that I will abduct your Peerless Division?"
Zhou Weiqing chuckled and said: "Don't doubt people who are suspicious of you, and don't be suspicious of people who are employed. I have said that I have no ill feelings towards your evil cult. What's more, what good will it do you to harm me? I still remember the conditions you proposed at the beginning.
It’s clear. It’s undoubtedly the most perfect thing to work together to benefit both parties. Brother Ming, you are a man of great wisdom, why do you need to test me again?”
Ming Yu also smiled, "You are the one who truly has great wisdom. Well, since you trust me so much, I won't say anything else. Leave the matter of commanding the army to me. However, this division
I can't be the commander, I can only be your deputy. You established this unparalleled division, and each army has its own character, and this character is the same as its first commander.
The character of the officer is closely related. It can be said that you are the soul of the Peerless Division, so your soul must exist."
The following generals, who were a little nervous when they heard that Zhou Weiqing was about to give up the position of division commander, couldn't help but nodded in agreement after hearing Ming Yu's words, and the expressions on their faces relaxed.
Kou Rui, Yan Zhexi, Zang Lang and other people who were born in the Feili Royal Military Academy have the hottest eyes. In their hearts, Ming Yu is an absolute idol! The Feili Military God is the most respected by the young people of the Feili Empire.
existence. If you can be commanded by him, you will definitely learn many, many things.
Zhou Weiqing said: "Brother Ming, what suggestions do you have for our follow-up actions? The main force of our Wushuang Division should arrive within five to ten days. By that time, even if Crecy sends another legion of troops to me
Not afraid either."
Ming Yu said without hesitation: "Expand, station troops, train, and build momentum."
There was a hint of surprise in Zhou Weiqing's eyes as he said, "Is it too fast to expand now?"
Ming Yu smiled slightly and said: "Unhappy, at that time. In the battle of Crescent Moon City, we defeated Crexi's army with less than one-tenth of the enemy's strength. Not to mention anything else, we have unique advantages in terms of building momentum.
advantage. And Cressy’s side will definitely not attack in the short term. According to my guess, they have only two ways to deal with us."
"Because of your outstanding performance in this war, the Cressi people definitely know that if they do not solve your big trouble, they will definitely suffer huge losses if they attack again in the future. Therefore, if they plan to
If we want to attack, we must not only mobilize troops no less than this time, but also invite a group of stronger Heavenly Jewel Masters from the Baida Empire. If this is their choice, huh."
Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Ming Yu's eyes, "Our biggest advantage currently is that the enemy does not know that there are a large number of reinforcements behind our Wushuang Division. They do not know the true strength of our Wushuang Division. Therefore,
They will definitely underestimate us. If they dare to attack again, then we will not fight back our opponents, but let them all be wiped out here. By then, if the Baida Empire does not send a large army to the Tiangong Empire
, we will definitely be able to restore the country within a short period of time. This is also the situation I want to see most."
"The other situation is more conservative for Cressy. But if I were the coach of Cressy, I would definitely choose this method. That is to stabilize the front and wait for opportunities."
"If they choose this way, they will definitely rely on Tiangong City, the original capital of the Tiangong Empire, and send a large army to garrison. Attacking the city and defending the city are completely different concepts, and there is a star forest around Tiangong City as a cover. As long as there is
If we have enough troops to garrison, if we want to attack the enemy successfully, we must consume a lot of troops."
"If the enemy responds like this, we are not afraid. It just gives us enough time to accumulate. The Tiangong Empire was occupied by Cressy for a short time, and before that, the relationship between the Tiangong Empire and Cressy Empire
The contradictions have long affected the mentality of civilians. Therefore, we are now an army of justice, and it is easy to recruit troops. In terms of financial resources, we also have the support of Feili Empire and Zhongtian Empire. As long as you give me half a year, I can give you
Five divisions of troops were organized and put into the war after rigorous training. If you can give me a year, then I will be sure to hold them back even if they try to defeat the Baida Empire head-on."
Feili Military God is indeed the Feili Military God. Zhou Weiqing and all the officers nodded after hearing this series of analyses.
Ming Yu stood up and took out a map. Yan Zhexi and Kou Rui hurried forward and pulled the map away. Zhou Weiqing and others gathered around.
This map was extremely detailed, and Zhou Weiqing was dazzled by the densely packed symbols on it. He could only barely make out that it was a comprehensive map that included Feili, Tiangong, Cressy, and the Baida Empire.
