"Cough cough cough!" Li Xiang coughed a few times and got off the bed. The guard outside heard the sound and ran in quickly: "Lord, you're awake!"
Li Xiang nodded and put on black casual clothes under the service of the guards: "How is the situation?"
The guard said: "After the battle between you and the strong Buddhist men, the Xianbei army was defeated by our army. We killed more than 300 Li troops, discarding their helmets and armor along the way, and harvested countless cattle and sheep.
The generals originally wanted to defeat the Xianbei tribe at once, but they did not expect other strong men from Buddhism to come to their aid, so they had no choice but to give up the pursuit."
"Have the enemy's losses been counted?" Li Xiang recalled the previous battle, where a strong Buddhist golden body appeared, and the two fought deep in the grassland. After all, the opponent was a strong man who had entered the golden body level for many years, and Li Xiang had just entered it not long ago.
The fighting strength of both sides was almost the same, and they fought for seven days. Li Xiang was seriously injured, but the monk was not much better.
The injury was probably much more serious than that of Li Xiang.
"Let them come to see me!" Li Xiang walked to the front of the big tent. The guard knew who they were that Li Xiang was talking about, and nodded and asked the people next to him to pass on the message.
Many generals who were still in the camp arrived and immediately felt much calmer when they saw Li Xiang waking up.
Li Xiang fought with the powerful Buddhists for seven days. They didn't know what happened in those seven days. When Li Xiang was fighting, they were also fighting with the Xianbei people.
A fight broke out between the two sides, and there were corpses everywhere on the battlefield that stretched for hundreds of miles, but the final winner belonged to Xiliang.
After the battle was over, they followed the direction of the power and came to the depths of the grassland. They saw a huge deep pit appearing on the flat grassland, which was very wide.
From time to time, powerful power fluctuations were heard, and the earth trembled.
Then he received the seriously injured lord. After returning, the lord had not seen anyone for ten days in a row.
"How many men did we lose?" Li Xiang's first question was the casualties.
The general in charge of statistics stood up: "Our army headquarters lost 80,000 infantry and 18,000 cavalry in this battle.
Non-headquarters losses were 60,000 infantry and 40,000 cavalry.
A total of more than 198,000 people."
"In less than seven days, nearly 200,000 people were lost?" Li Xiang looked at the ashamed generals present, a little angry and helpless. The instigator of this battle was the Xianbei tribe, and the other party must have someone.
Only those who are prepared dare to provoke a war.
It's just that the army suffered too many losses, which was a bit unacceptable to Prime Minister Li.
These are all living people. Except for those soldiers outside the headquarters, those soldiers were raised by their parents for more than ten years. They worked hard to raise them and left them in his hands.
One hundred thousand people will die in this battle!
Li Xiang suppressed his anger and continued to ask: "Is there any statistics on the enemy's losses?"
"Yes." The general continued to report: "Based on the corpses carried by our army, the number of troops lost by the Xianbei this time is approximately between 500,000 and 700,000. These are the elite troops of the Xianbei.
In addition to these soldiers who died on the battlefield, there were approximately more than 200,000 horses dispersed from the Xianbei side. According to the detailed reports from the Xianbei side, there was a big problem within them.
The Xianbei tribe was pursued by our army for more than 300 miles. In the end, they relied on strong Buddhist men to barely stabilize the situation. However, the Xianbei tribe leader had lost control of the major tribal armies.
You can hear quarreling from time to time in the tribe leader's camp. Some tribes don't want to continue fighting, and some tribes want to ask for peace."
"At this time, there was a breakdown within the Xianbei people, and during the pursuit, they lost a lot of baggage. Food and weapons and equipment also became a big problem, so they deliberately reduced food consumption."
"Finally, we have good news." Li Xiang nodded with satisfaction: "Is there any movement on Li Yi's side?"
The general in charge of intelligence stood up: "General Manager Li Yi also started to move after we fought with the main force of the Xianbei tribe. We just received news this morning that they wiped out three medium-sized Xianbei tribes four days ago.
There is a fire in the rear of the clan."
"Okay!" Li Xiang's somewhat weak face was full of joy: "The general manager definitely needs our support now.
Mobilize the troops we can mobilize and press against the Xianbei people again!
I want them to have no time to worry about the rear and choose one between the front and the rear!"
"Yes!" The generals present responded loudly. There is no need for Prime Minister Li to do anything next. The generals who are performing their respective duties will do their own thing well.
Prepare food when it's time to prepare food, and send weapons when it's time to send weapons. The entire army is a huge machine, and Li Xiang is only responsible for pointing the direction.
Xianbei
In the snow-white tent, the leaders and representatives of the major tribes sat quietly in their seats. The entire tent was very quiet and dull.
The soldiers in charge of pouring water were careful not to make too much noise.
Before the war started, everyone was thinking about fighting. After the war started, they finally understood why the Qiang people were defeated so simply. Even though they were well prepared, they were still no match for Xiliang.
In the end, it was the Buddhists who took action, and they were able to repel the Xiliang army, and they only managed to repel the Xiliang army.
Not far from their camp, there were three groups of Xiliang cavalry, numbering more than 10,000, eyeing them. There were also Xiliang cavalry in other places watching them.
As long as they dare to show their backs, these wolf-like Xiliang cavalry will never let go of such a good opportunity.
"It's war, it's retreat, it's peace. We have been fighting at night for many days." The Xianbei tribe leader stood up: "We should come to a conclusion today. It will not be beneficial to us, the Xianbei tribe, to delay this.
Let's all vote by a show of hands today.
I agree to continue with Xiliang..."
Brush! A soldier opened the big tent, interrupted the Xianbei tribe leader's words, and trotted to the center of the big tent. Feeling the looks from the big guys around him, the little soldier's legs almost went weak.
"Letter from the front, it was discovered that there was a major movement in the Xiliang military camp. All ministries and armies began to gather, and there was constant smoke!"
The Xiliang army likes to cook a lot of food before going to war, and brings two to three days' rations to each soldier.
The army is mobilizing and black smoke is rising on a large scale. This is preparing for the mobilization of the army!
"Continue to investigate!" The Xianbei clan chief waved the soldier down, and the soldier nodded respectfully and left the tent.
A two-meter-tall man immediately spoke out: "Chief, we don't have much food and grass, and our weapons and equipment are mostly worn out. It is not suitable to fight Xiliang again."
They lost miserably, and most of their weapons, equipment, and food supplies fell into the hands of the Xiliang Army.
"It's not that we won't fight if we don't want to!" the Xianbei clan leader's voice spoke louder than everyone else: "Retreat and put aside the peace talks for now. The most important thing now is to understand the trends of the Xiliang army and see what they want to do!"
"We cannot afford another big defeat!"
The senior officials present fell silent. They really couldn't withstand the defeat. They were attacked by the Xiliang army in the rear and defeated in the front battlefield...
