After the battle, there are still many things to do, including counting casualties, counting military achievements, counting weapons and equipment, replenishing horses, taking care of wounded soldiers, guarding prisoners of war, and reorganizing... In the main camp of the Xiliang Army
The lights were brightly lit, and the generals, chief clerks, military commanders and other officers of the various ministries were busy until late at night. Only then did they roughly complete the statistics of various situations, and then reported them to the Chinese army's main account.
In the big tent, Fa is helping Chen Cheng handle various military affairs. However, although he is smart, he has never done these things before, so he can only do it for the time being. Liu Qian, on the other hand, is already able to handle military matters very skillfully.
All Chen Cheng had to do was stamp her seal or sign her name on the official documents she had compiled.
"Today, more than 3,000 of our troops were killed or seriously injured, and twice as many were lightly injured. About 10,000 enemy troops were killed and 2,700 were captured."
Chen Cheng looked at the statistical report, which means that in one day, there were nearly 10,000 casualties. Although many of them were slightly injured and could continue to fight tomorrow, this number has exceeded the previous numbers of Lu Bu and Duan Yanjun.
The total amount of damage caused.
On the one hand, he was worried about whether his morale would be low if he suffered so many casualties; on the other hand, he was also worried about whether Dong Zhuo would withdraw if he suffered too many casualties. Fa Zheng had proposed to send a surprise force to capture Linjin City before the war.
, Chen Cheng did not agree. It was not that he did not understand the principle of "using the right combination and winning by the unexpected", but it was because he had already decided to let Xu Rong copy Dong Zhuo's retreat.
Calculating the time, Xu Rongjun should have crossed the Yellow River by now.
The Xiliang Army was counting casualties and dealing with various matters. Dong Zhuo in Xiaguang City showed no signs of escaping, but was even more complacent. Although during the day of the battle, the Huns fled a lot.
, but some came back after the war.
What made him even more happy was the results of the battles reported by his generals. Adding up the three groups on the left, middle and right, they killed not only 100,000, but also 80,000 Xiliang thieves. Even if the generals were boasting, how about a fight?
In half, he killed and wounded more than 40,000 enemies. How many men did Chen Cheng have at his disposal?
Dong Zhuo estimated that there were only more than 10,000 to less than 20,000 Xiliang bandits left. Although his own troops had also been reduced a lot, the gap in strength between the two sides had not narrowed, but had become larger. In his opinion
Come on, the enemy is now at the end of his tether. If we work harder tomorrow, we can achieve complete victory.
As long as Chen Cheng is captured or killed, with his prestige in Xiliang, will those elite soldiers and generals surrender?
Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo burst out laughing. He said to the generals in the room with great ambition: "When we break into Chang'an City, each of us will be given a palace maid!"
Yang Ding, Li Jue, Guo Si and others looked at each other, with excited expressions on their faces, and shouted long live. Although some people thought that Dong Zhuo was covering up the panic in their hearts, no one was so stupid.
Point it out to his face. Wang Fang, Dong Yue and other generals died in battle, which filled the army with an unpleasant atmosphere.
The brutality of today's battle was something they had never imagined before. The strength and resilience of the Xiliang people far exceeded their imagination. The enemy's combat effectiveness was stronger than the Lu Bu army they encountered before, and it was far superior to the Yellow Turban Army.
Above. If we use the enemies they have encountered in the past as an analogy, then only Huangfu Song can compare with him when he was in his prime.
They fought very hard today, and their soldiers suffered a lot of casualties. Based on experience, I had fought so hard and killed so many people, so the enemy must have also suffered a lot of casualties. Then when Dong Zhuo asked
, he doubled the estimate and reported it, which indeed made his lord very happy.
Li Jue, Guo Si and others were all brave and foolhardy. They relied on their strong martial arts and did not pay attention to other things. General Hu Zhen was very worried. He led his troops into battle today and saw the enemy several times.
The general was riding a fiery red horse back and forth, so unstoppable that he immediately connected him with Lu Bu.
But unlike Lu Bu, the enemy chief Chen Cheng is more brave, and the Xiliang army is more capable than Lu Bu's army. However, Hu Zhen also believes that the Xiliang people must have suffered heavy losses today. Our advantage in a short period of time has not been lost.
On the contrary, it has expanded a lot, and we should take advantage of this moment to continue using troops.
Dong Zhuo said proudly: "Everyone fought well today. Tomorrow we will use all our main forces to defeat the Xiliang bandits in one fell swoop!"
After sunset and sunrise, Dong Zhuo ordered the soldiers to kill pigs and sheep, so that the soldiers had a full meal, and then went out to challenge again. Chen Cheng was not to be outdone and left ten thousand soldiers in several camps.
Many people, with more than 35,000 infantry and cavalry, came out of the camp and formed a formation.
After a night of cleaning, the battlefield has not been cleaned up. On the original battlefield, corpses that have changed color and various discarded equipment and supplies can be seen from time to time.
During yesterday's battle, Dong Zhuo's army's troops and horses, plus the soldiers who later came out from Xiagui City to support, totaled more than 100,000. After the array was deployed, the front width was more than ten miles. But today, Dong Zhuo's army only has 100,000 troops.
It's less than half full, and the array is no longer as thick as it was yesterday.
Originally, there were a lot of Hun cavalry active on the battlefield, but after the battle yesterday, those Huns felt that it was more cost-effective to rob the villagers, so most of them had already run away with a huff. They will go out before today.
After the formation order was given, almost all the remaining Huns fled.
They already know that "General Shenwei Tian" is among the enemy troops on the opposite side. Only a fool would want to be an enemy of someone who is like the reincarnation of a god. He came back yesterday just to cheat two meals. Although Dong Zhuo was cruel,
But he treated his subordinates pretty well. Sure enough, he had a full meal yesterday and had an even better meal this morning.
Now that the goal has been achieved, who is still stupid enough to go into battle and fight to the death? Run away, run away.
After yesterday's battle, the Xiliang Army suffered nearly 10,000 casualties. In addition, thousands of people were dispatched to clean the battlefield in the evening, so the number of people who can go into battle today is only 35,000 infantry. In Chen Cheng's view, his own side's battle is more serious than the opponent's.
Strong, but slightly at a disadvantage in terms of military strength.
But Dong Zhuo didn't think so. He thought that there were only 10,000 people left in the Xiliang army, and they would be able to defeat the opponent when they went into battle today. Who knew there were so many soldiers and horses on the opposite side? Looking at the gradually unfolding formation on the opposite side, Dong Zhongying
First surprised, then horrified, he said in shock: "Why are there so many Xiliang people? Could it be that soldiers and horses from other places came here to join us?"
After the Huns came to do chores, things like outings for reconnaissance were all outsourced to the Huns Qingqi. Now that almost all the Huns have fled, Dong Zhuojun's eyesight and hearing suddenly deteriorated, and he was not aware of the surrounding situation.
All of a sudden I lost control.
Li Ru said: "I'm afraid reinforcements arrived last night."
He saw that Dong Zhuo seemed to have a hesitant look on his face, so he said, "Why don't we withdraw our troops back to the city first and wait until we can find out more about it?"
Dong Zhuo, on the other hand, made up his mind and said decisively: "Now is our last chance. If we cannot defeat the main force of the Xiliang Army within these few days, we will have no choice but to return to Bingzhou!"
He turned around and asked the general next to him, "Are you willing to go back to Bingzhou and suffer?"
The generals said in unison: "I don't want to!"
Guanzhong is so wonderful. There are villages and towns everywhere. If you open any place, you can grab a lot of food, grass and money. Bingzhou was plagued by Dong Zhuo for several years, and later the Huns were introduced. The good people were almost dead.
It was all gone. The remaining people either went up the mountain or hid in the strongholds of the powerful. Every time they went out to collect food, it was like a war. How could it be as rich as Guanzhong?
Dong Zhuo said loudly: "The Chen thief relied on only more than ten thousand tooth soldiers. Yesterday we killed most of them. Those who came today are just some soldiers from the county and the country. They are not as many as us. We are afraid that he will
Goal! Let’s work harder today, and when we get to Chang’an, everyone will be given two palace ladies!”
Well, there was only one issued yesterday, and today it has become two. This speed is almost comparable to the number of infections and inflation in the Lighthouse Country. But the effect is also there, and all the soldiers who heard the news are
Cheered loudly.
Because the number of troops was much smaller, the formation speed of both sides was much faster than yesterday. Yesterday, it took more than an hour to form the formation, but today it only took half an hour to complete the formation. And then
The sound of drums and trumpets sounded from the rear of the central armies on both sides.
A new battle is about to break out again!
Just when another war was about to break out near Xiagui, Han Sui was hosting a banquet for guests in Chang'an City, more than a hundred miles to the west. He had been preparing for several days and invited some civil and military officials in the city. Although Zhao Yun did not come
, which made him a little disappointed, but it didn't hinder much.
Chen Cheng did not release the captured Lu Bu army. Except for some who were taken by Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others, now Yang Qiuchengyi is fighting under his command. Tens of thousands of people have their weapons and equipment confiscated and are being organized to clean up.
Things like river channel reinforcement, dike reinforcement, road construction, etc.
Many of these people were kidnapped, but there were also many who followed Lu Bu to suppress the people everywhere in Guanzhong and did a lot of massacres of cities and villages. Once the knife is stained with blood, it will be very difficult to put it away again.
Okay. How could those people be willing to do the dirty work of digging holes when they have tasted the wonderful taste of killing?
Han Sui was very confident that as long as he could seize a city gate, he would be able to let the resentful surrender troops into the city. Although there were thousands of soldiers and horses left by Chen Wenzheng in the city, the number of men was not as high as the tens of thousands of resentful surrender troops.
What use can it have in front of you? Even if you are trapped in the camp, no matter how you fight, you are still a human being.
As long as they are human, they can be killed!
Han Sui greeted the guests with a smile at the door. He thought about the whole plan again in his mind. He felt that this time, it must be absolutely foolproof! His heart was filled with strange feelings, including excitement and fear, but also some regret and appreciation. Han Sui was heart-broken.
Dao: Although Chen Wenzheng and Yan Bodao are hateful, they are indeed rare heroes in the world. It's a pity that we can't cooperate sincerely, otherwise, the world will be allowed to be run by people like us from Xiliang!
It's not bad now. As long as Chen Cheng is killed, Guanzhong and Liangzhou will belong to me, Han Sui!
Thinking of the beauty, the smile on his face became even brighter.
