The battlefield was full of smoke, the ground was stained with blood, and tragic deaths were everywhere. The battle at the foot of Yulu Mountain came to an end.
Jingzhou City retreated 40,000 enemy troops. After a bloody battle with the Zichu army, less than 10,000 soldiers surrendered.
Chu Feifan took advantage of the night to look around, with a sad look on his cheeks. Looking at the entire Yulu Mountain, broken swords and broken halberds were stuck on the ground, and the red blood dyed the earth red.
The gentle breeze passed by, and the strong smell of blood in the air was heart-wrenching. Looking at the mountains of corpses, Chu Feifan couldn't help but think of one general who had accomplished so much.
"Your Majesty, those who want to achieve great things should not stick to small details. Looking at the world, wars are raging, and people will fall in a pool of blood every moment. Only when the world is unified, the people can live and work in peace and contentment."
Hearing Guo Jia's voice, Chu Feifan nodded lightly. In fact, he didn't know clearly in his heart that the bloody battles now are for the future peace and prosperity. Not all emperors have been like this since ancient times.
"Your Majesty, the casualties of our four armies have been calculated!"
Lin Chong's powerful voice suddenly sounded. Chu Feifan's eyes stayed on his figure and raised his hand to signal: "Tell me, what are the casualties of our army?"
"Your Majesty, the four armies have a total of 60,000 soldiers. Of the 20,000 soldiers under my command, more than 4,000 were killed and 2,000 were seriously injured. There are now 14,000 left. General Zilin's soldiers will total 20,000.
, five thousand people were killed in the battle, and more than 3,000 people were seriously injured, and now only 12,000 people are left."
"General Hubao's 10,000 soldiers now have 3,000 killed and 2,000 seriously injured, and now there are 5,000 left. Hua Xiaowei's 10,000 soldiers now have 4,000 killed and 2,000 seriously injured. Now,
There are four thousand soldiers left."
"Now there are only 35,000 left of the 60,000-strong Fourth Route Army. A total of 16,000 people died on the battlefield and a total of 9,000 people were seriously injured."
"I didn't expect that Jingzhou City's 40,000 soldiers would actually kill 16,000 of our soldiers at the foot of Yulu Mountain. Their combat power should not be underestimated. Now I finally understand why Zixi Palace wanted to withdraw them."
"A small Jingzhou city is insignificant compared to an army of 40,000 tigers and wolves!"
"Your Majesty, our officers and men are truly a tiger and wolf army worthy of the name. This legion under Zhao Wuling is probably one of the few in the Fengyun Kingdom. Although our officers and men suffered heavy losses, they were able to annihilate more than 30,000 enemies."
"So the emperor should be pleased and honored to have such a legion."
Chu Feifan understood the meaning of Guo Jia's words as soon as he heard it. It was at the time of the war. These few seemingly plain words from Guo Jia were stronger than a thousand words and could greatly improve the morale of the entire army.
"Guo Aiqing, I want the army to continue moving forward and attack Xuzhou City ahead."
"Your Majesty, it is already dawn at this time. The sound of our army's fighting at the foot of Yulu Mountain last night shocked the sky and must have been heard in Xuzhou City."
"Now our army has been reorganized. Although the soldiers are a little tired after a night of bloodshed, their morale is still high. I think this plan is feasible, the soldiers are very fast, and the city of Xuzhou can be captured with overwhelming force."
Chu Feifan's idea was recognized by Guo Jia. He turned around and looked at the generals beside him and ordered: "General Zhongwu, General Hubao, and Lieutenant Hua will lead the troops to attack Xuzhou City."
"General Zilin led the soldiers back to Jingzhou City with the prisoners and seriously injured soldiers, and made proper arrangements for the prisoners and seriously injured soldiers. At the same time, he notified Xiao Aiqing in Fengyang City to bring all the 30,000 troops in the city and the food, grass and baggage to Jingzhou City and arrange the defense work in the city.
"
"The last general takes command!"
Chu Feifan left 5,000 soldiers and horses with Xing Tianlie, and then rode his horse and led 30,000 troops to attack Xuzhou City under the stars and the moon.
.............
In the early morning, everything is silent, the sky is bright, the night is about to disappear, and the dawn light slowly wakes up the sleeping creatures.
The mist enveloped the Xuzhou City lightly, and the dull sound of the morning bell could be heard from time to time. The army led by Chu Feifan suddenly appeared outside the Xuzhou City. The black army was pressing down on the city. The defenders on the Xuzhou City had already discovered them.
traces.
"Beat the drum, the Zichu army is coming, beat the drum quickly!"
The rushing voices of the soldiers guarding the city rang out, and the drums shook the sky. The soldiers who were still sleeping on the wall suddenly woke up, picked up the spears beside them, and looked up outside the city.
moment.
There was a rustling sound of battle armor, and the soldiers guarding the city turned around and saw two generals, Zi Sang Zan and Gong Liang Heng, approaching the city wall with guns in hand.
"They did come anyway, but I didn't expect that guy Zhao Wuling to kill half of Zichu's army at the foot of Yulu Mountain. It's really unexpected!"
"Zi Sang Zan, Zhao Wuling is a rare and powerful general among the many city guards in Fengyun Kingdom. He is proficient in martial arts and has courage that no man can match. The 40,000 troops in Jingzhou City under his command are a tiger and wolf army with few rivals. In fact, he has surpassed
Despite his pedantic character, I respect him quite a bit."
"Gong Liangheng, why should we respect the defeated general? He should have been buried under Yulu Mountain long ago. But without his sacrifice, how could we have the chance to defeat the Zichu army under Xuzhou City?"
While the two were discussing, a fat man with a shaking hammer appeared on the city wall. He was dressed in gold armor and looked majestic. Gong Liangheng and Zi Sang Zan saluted immediately when they saw the visitor.
"General Nangong!"
"boom!"
Nangong Yong placed the Sky-shattering Hammer in his hand on the city wall, glanced at the two of them and chuckled: "This is the army of the Zichu Kingdom? You can point out to me who is the new emperor of Zichu, Chu Feifan. I want to see it.
Does he have three heads and six arms or something, and he was able to capture three cities in my Prince Zixi's palace one after another."
Nangong Yong, the nephew of Nangong Can of Zixi Palace, is also the cousin of Nangong Xi. This person has a very famous name, the Little Devil in the World.
First, because he is the nephew of Zixi King Nangong Can and has a high status, no one dares to offend him easily.
The second is the Sky-shattering Hammer in his hand. According to legend, it is a treasure from the Heavenly Palace. The two giant hammers weigh more than 600 kilograms. No ordinary person can shake it, but they are used with great skill. Looking at the number of people under the control of the entire Zixi Palace
In the ten cities, he challenged all the masters who claimed to be strong, and few of them were his opponents. Therefore, he ranked fifty-ninth on the Xuantian Battle Ranking, and was also called the Little Demon King.
"General Nangong, the young man wearing golden armor and holding a halberd is the new emperor of Zi Chu, Chu Feifan."
Nangong Yong followed Zi Sang Zan's finger and looked over, laughing loudly: "Haha, it turned out to be a young boy. I ordered all the soldiers in Xuzhou City to follow me out to fight. They were in Yu Yu with that good-for-nothing Zhao Wuling last night.
After a fierce battle all night at the foot of Lushan Mountain, we are now exhausted of men and horses. How can such a remnant army stop our wolf-like, tiger-leopard-like army in Jingzhou City?"
