The fierce battle between the Sanshui Army and the Duji Army lasted from the afternoon until dark. By this time, the inner wall of the Duji Army could not be found at all. Only a long wall could be seen between the two armies.
The pile of corpses was piled high, and blood gurgled out from the pile of corpses and mixed with the surrounding soil, making the ground of the battlefield extremely muddy. When he stepped on it, he had to use a lot of strength to pull his legs out.
Soon, the blood solidified, turning the land into dark red clods. Then, new blood poured over... The battle had reached this level. It was a nightmare for the soldiers on both sides, and also for the commanders of both sides.
It is also a test, and now the competition is no longer about the combat power of the entire army, but about willpower, to see who can persevere, to see who can survive to the end.
In this competition, Remi Azabao defeated Liang Qi. Remy Azabao was fighting with his back against the wall and could only grit his teeth and hold on, with no way to retreat, but Liang Qi was not like that. He still had backup and reinforcements.
Hopefully, he will not and cannot risk the lives of all the soldiers in exchange for this tragic victory.
After the battle got dark, Liang Qi took the lead in issuing an order to withdraw. This order was great news for both the enemy and ourselves. After such a fierce battle for a whole day, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted, and everything in front of them was
Double shadow, legs trembling suddenly.
When the Sanshui Army retreated, General Du Ji ordered the entire army to pursue and kill him, but the soldiers below could no longer bear it. Many soldiers fell tired and fell into the bloody mud on the spot, lying on the ground motionless.
Some people vomited profusely, not knowing whether they were tired or disgusted by the mountains of corpses in front of them.
After the fierce battle, what was left was surprisingly quiet. Both the Feng Army camp and the Du Ji Army camp were silent. The body collection teams from both sides were dispatched one after another to collect the bodies of their fallen soldiers on the battlefield. Only at this time, the Feng Army
There is no need to engage in combat with the other party in the Dukey Army Camp.
Rushan's corpses were separated bit by bit by people and carried away. It was a rough estimate that the corpses left by the two armies were no less than 40,000. No one took advantage of the other. It was basically half of the Feng army and half of the Du Ji army. Just as you said
That saying, "If you die a thousand, I will die eight hundred."
Returning to the military camp, Liang Qi immediately ordered his own casualties to be counted. The number of Sanshui troops killed in this battle reached 22,000, and more than 10,000 soldiers were injured. The total casualties exceeded 35,000.
This was the battle with the heaviest casualties since the Sanshui Army entered Tia.
After reading the casualty statistics, Liang Qi sighed quietly and said nothing for a long time. After a long while, he opened his eyes and said: "Recover the bodies of our fallen soldiers as soon as possible. In addition, send a letter to General Guantang, asking him not to get too close to Val."
Town, you can find a hidden place ten miles away from Val Town to temporarily station."
"Yes! General!" Bai Yong responded with his hands raised.
Shangguan Yuanrang said: "After just one battle, our army suffered such heavy casualties. The crossbow arrows and stone bullets we made were all used up. How can we fight next?"
"Fight?" Liang Qi smiled bitterly. How can we continue to attack with force in this battle? Du Ji's army is too powerful and is on the defensive. Even if all our own troops are exhausted, they may not be able to defeat Du Ji's army camp.
, he shook his head and said: "Our army is no longer able to carry out a strong attack. At five o'clock, our army abandoned the camp and retreated."
Shangguan Yuanrang stamped his feet vigorously. He really didn't want to admit that he would not have any upper hand in a head-on confrontation with Du Jijun. He lowered his head and said no more.
Liang Qi looked around and said: "We must retreat quickly, otherwise we will not be able to go very far before we are overtaken by the enemy. All the army's baggage, as long as it is not necessary, will be left behind!"
After hearing this, Shangguan Yuanrang asked angrily: "Leave it all to Du Jijun?"
Liang Qi said: "It's just a storage! Once we defeat the enemy's main force, we will take it back again."
"Huh!" Shangguan Yuanrang snorted, sat down angrily, tilted his head, and looked away.
It wasn't until midnight that the Feng Army's corpse collection team moved all the corpses of the fallen soldiers back to the camp. There was no need to look at the corpses. The collected military cards alone were enough to hold ten small boxes. It was impossible to carry so many during the retreat.
The corpses, and Tia was too far away from the mainland of Feng Kingdom, the corpses would have rotted when transported back. Liang Qi ordered that the corpses be burned on the spot, and the ashes of the fallen soldiers would be brought back to the country after the war.
It was not easy to burn more than 20,000 corpses, so they had to be cremated in batches. Fortunately, Fengjun cut more wood in the early stage, so there was no need to go out and find firewood at this time.
When the corpse was burned, Liang Qi, Shangguan Yuanrang, and Bai Yong were all present at the scene.
Looking at the corpses piled high and being gradually enveloped in flames, Shangguan Yuan let his bright eyes reflect the jumping firelight. He sighed and murmured: "They are all my warriors of the gale!"
Liang Qi squinted his eyes and responded: "Yes."
"But who will remember them?"
Liang Qi was silent for a while and said: "Country."
"If there had been no war, they would not have died."
"Only if you believe that you are fighting for the country and a soldier of justice, you will not be crushed by the pressure of war." Liang Qi turned his head, took a deep look at Shangguan Yuan Rang, and said, "Yuan Rang, we must not
The reason for not fighting is that we are here to protect our country."
Shangguan Yuanrang smiled and sighed: "Isn't it ridiculous to stand on the territory of another country and say that you are protecting your own country?"
Liang Qi was silent. Bai Yong on the side cleared his throat heavily.
Shangguan Yuanrang knew that his words could be accused of disturbing the morale of the army, but he didn't care at all. He frowned and said: "In order to save Tia, we have to sacrifice so many warriors like Dafeng. Who can guarantee that?"
This war must be right?"
Liang Qi suddenly asked: "Do you know why I never get too close to my brothers in the army?"
Shangguan Yuanrang looked at him doubtfully, thought for a while, and said: "Because you are too arrogant and think you are of noble birth, so you are aloof..."
Before he could finish speaking, Liang Qi continued: "Because I'm afraid that the faces I've memorized will never be seen again after a battle. Since you've surrendered to the army, you must be prepared to sacrifice for the country and the king.
We must firmly believe that your Majesty and the decisions made by the court are correct. Without such awareness, there is no need to stay in the army anymore. It is better to go home and farm. At least that is a contribution to the country. The most important person in the army is
What we don’t need are the voices of complaints and doubts.” After speaking, Liang Qi turned around and walked towards his tent. At the same time, he waved his hands without looking back and yawned as he said: “I’m a little tired, but I can still do it now.”
After resting for more than an hour, I'm going to take a nap."
Looking at Liang Qi's back as he walked further and further away, Shangguan Yuanrang raised his eyebrows and muttered: "Liang Qi looks a little different today."
Bai Yong nodded, walked to Shangguan Yuanrang, and whispered: "Our army has not suffered such heavy casualties for a long time. The general must be extremely sad. Although the general never said that, as the commander of an army,
, the general is burdened with the lives of all the soldiers in the army, and the pressure is far greater than that of you and me..."
"That's true." Of course Shangguan Yuanrang could understand how much pressure Liang Qi was under. Because of this, Liang Qi repeatedly gave him the most dangerous tasks, but he never really resented Liang Qi.
When Liang Qi's figure completely disappeared from sight, Shangguan Yuanrang suddenly said: "He won't hide back in the camp and cry, right?"
Bai Yong was stunned, scratched his hair, and said uncertainly: "No way?"
Shangguan Yuanrang shook his head and said, "Let's go and take a look."
"This...is not appropriate..."
"With me here, what are you afraid of?!" As he spoke, Shangguan Yuanrang grabbed Bai Yong's wrist and strode toward Liang Qi's tent.
When he got closer, without saying hello to the guard at the door, Shangguan Yuanrang grabbed Bai Yong and rushed in directly.
In the camp, Liang Qi was lying on his side on the bed in his clothes, using the candlelight on the side to look at the map attentively. He didn't show the slightest surprise on his face when Shangguan Yuanrang and Bai Yong suddenly walked in.
He just asked lightly: "Is something wrong?"
Liang Qi was so calm, which surprised Shangguan Yuanrang and Bai Yong. The former laughed awkwardly and said, "General Bai and I made a bet on whether you would run back to the camp and cry secretly..."
"In the end, you two were disappointed."
"You're really not sad at all!" Shangguan Yuanrang walked up and shook his head.
Liang Qi put down the map, looked at Shangguan Yuanrang, and said: "A man's sadness is not only expressed in his eyes, isn't it?" After speaking, he lowered his eyes to the map and continued: "I hope you can express it in your eyes."
The way to grieve is to chop off Remi Azabao's head with your knife during the Battle of Tomorrow."
Shangguan Yuanrang slowly clenched his fists, nodded and said, "I know what to do." After saying that, he winked at Bai Yong, turned around and walked out.
Before he left the camp, Liang Qi stopped him: "Yuan Rang!"
"Well?" Shangguan Yuanrang turned around.
Liang Qi said seriously: "We have to come to Tia to fight against Du Jijun. If your belief in this battle is not firm enough, then say this sentence a hundred times a day."
Shangguan Yuanrang's old face turned red and he muttered: "My head is very normal." After saying that, the others walked out of the tent. Bai Yong looked at Liang Qi, did not dare to stay, and hurriedly followed him out.
At five o'clock in the morning, all the corpses had been burned, and the remaining ashes were temporarily buried on the spot and marked. Then, Liang Qi issued an order for the entire army to retreat lightly, and all heavy objects were discarded.
According to his order, the Sanshui Army of more than 70,000 people, carrying only rations, silently left the military camp and retreated towards the town of Var.
During the retreat, there was silence in the team. Only the rumble of footsteps could be heard. No one was in the mood to chat now.
On the other side, Camp Dukey.
When it got daylight, Remy Azaba got up. The first thing he did was to walk out of the camp and go to the observation deck to observe the situation of the Sanshui Army camp.
He raised his eyes and looked across. The Sanshui Army camp was calm and dead. Remi Azabao's heart moved. He pondered for a moment and suddenly shouted: "No, the Feng Army has been defeated!" As he spoke, he turned his head.
He yelled to the herald beside him: "Send my military order to leave only 20,000 troops to guard the camp. All other soldiers will follow me to fight and hunt down the Feng army!"
