The gunfire went out.
But there was no cheering in the camp.
The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty who were fighting outside the trenches just walked back into the trenches in some silence.
The fierce attack of the Dali army also exceeded their expectations, and if they continue to fight like this, tomorrow, no, even tonight, I don't know if they can hold it.
No one dared to conclude that the Dali army would not attack the camp at night.
Liu Hongyi and the others walked out of the trenches, looking at the corpses scattered all over the place, but they were only silent.
The Dali army slowly retreated down the mountain.
After a little rectification at the foot of the mountain, he withdrew to Hengshanzhai.
Chi Feng Drum and Wang Ziqian two chariots in parallel.
Although he did not capture the Song camp in one fell swoop, Chi Fenggu had a slight mockery in his eyes, and asked Wang Ziqian, "Senior brother, who is the first battalion to break through?" โ
Wang Ziqian actually chuckled, "Senior brother, it was the battalion under your command that broke first." โ
Chi Fenggu laughed dryly, "Then the bet between the two of us, but the senior brother won?" โ
Wang Ziqian arched his hand, "Senior brother is so powerful, senior brother admires it!" โ
This made Dechi Fenggu slightly stunned.
He didn't expect Wang Ziqian to be so willing to admit defeat, this really doesn't look like Wang Ziqian's character.
And he originally had some words in his belly that Prince Ying said, but now, he couldn't say anything more.
The sense of joy does not seem to be as strong as imagined.
Chi Fenggu, who was a little unwilling in his heart, had to say: "The way of the soldier is endless, and you and I still need to work hard to improve......
Wang Ziqian chuckled, noncommittal, as if he didn't understand the mockery in Chi Fenggu's language.
Then both of them fell silent.
Chi Fenggu frowned slightly.
He seemed proud, but in fact, the battle was clearly far from his expectations.
said that it was a victory, but it was to put gold on his face.
How much did he and the prince's army lose?
And how much did Song Juncai lose?
In this whole afternoon's attack, the losses of the officers and men in their army are probably far more than the overall number of the Song army.
Can such a victory be considered a victory?
But Wang Ziqian was stunned with a slightly flat smile on his face, but he didn't know what he was thinking at this time.
The sun is about to set.
The Dali army went farther and farther.
Although the camp on the hillside was still filled with a strong smell of gunsmoke and blood, at this time, there was a faint fragrance rising from it.
Liu Hongyi gave the order to let the soldiers eat horse meat.
He's not that particular about it.
Under the influence of Zhao Dongting, the Great Song army did not attach as much importance to war horses as the Yuan Dynasty and Dali. Otherwise, Liu Hongyi and the others would not have used the method of tying up thunder in the horse formation.
There are only thousands of horses in the army, and those two horse formations are almost all used up by the generals.
Of course, the results are also significant.
I don't know how many soldiers died in the Dali army between the horse formations.
The water in the pot was boiling hot and bubbling. There are ingredients such as dried chili peppers churning in the pot.
This makes this horse broth not a faint milky white, but also oily stains, with the red of chili peppers. Looking at it can also make the soldiers appetite greater.
It's just that some soldiers feast on it, and some of them have no intention of swallowing.
This meal is very likely to be their send-off meal.
After eating this horse meat, it is still unknown whether you will be able to see the morning light tomorrow.
There are already too many old faces, too many robes and halberds.
Liu Hongyi, Zhu Haiwang and others did not stay in the tent, but outside, gathered around the iron pot suspended from a wooden frame, eating horse meat and talking.
No one counts how many robes have been killed, but in their hearts, they have more than the soldiers how long they can hold out.
Zhu Haiwang was so scalded by the hot horse meat that he even burst out of his tears, and he didn't wipe it, and said, "Liu Shuai, I'm afraid that the Dali army will attack the camp tonight." And they only need to dispatch more than 20,000 elite soldiers, plus those good soldiers in the army, we are only afraid of ...... Even tonight will be hard to keep. โ
Everyone's faces were a little solemn.
Liu Hongyi did not speak.
Zhu Haiwang said again: "Liu Shuai, you will give us a thorough understanding, when will the reinforcements arrive at the earliest?" โ
Liu Hongyi shook his head and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I really don't know...... Maybe...... Can you arrive tomorrow morning? Who knows? โ
Hong Wutian was surprised when he heard this, "Can you arrive tomorrow morning?" Didn't you say it would take two days? โ
"You!"
Mrs. Xu patted his hand, "Don't think about it." If Liu appeased the envoy and didn't say two days, would the soldiers be so resolute? โ
Hong Wutian was slightly stunned.
Liu Hongyi sighed again and said, "It's just the vanguard, and I don't dare to say whether it can arrive tomorrow morning." The army, I'm afraid, it will take two days to arrive. โ
Hong Wutian looked around, "It's just that I pity these soldiers who sacrificed their lives......"
There was a slight silence.
Then Liu Hong suddenly pointed in the direction of Hengshanzhai and said: "As long as we can defeat these two Dali thieves, even if we all donate our lives here, we will die well." โ
"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and once the strong man is gone, he will not return......"
As if infected by Liu Hongyi's momentum, Zhu Hecong suddenly recited the poem aloud, and then said in a low voice: "It's a pity that there is no wine in the army, otherwise I would really drink three cups at this moment!" โ
In the blink of an eye, he raised the porcelain bowl in his hand and said loudly: "Why don't you just make wine with this hot soup?" Seniors, I, Zhu Hecong, do it first as a respect! โ
A mouthful of hot water rolls into the abdomen.
Zhu Hecong was burned to tears, but he laughed.
Liu Hongyi, Hong Wutian, Ran Anguo and others all raised their bowls, "It's done!" โ
Everyone laughed.
This loud laughter caused the surrounding soldiers to look at this side. It's just that I don't know why they're laughing.
Night falls.
The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty did not go back to the tent to rest, but lay in the trench.
The barracks fell silent, with only a few hundred scouts roaming and sentry.
It's just that some of the sentinels travel very far.
The Dali torches spread and returned to the Hengshan village. Then the generals led their soldiers to the barracks.
Wang Ziqian held a banquet in the lobby of the barracks to entertain Chi Fenggu and others.
Several generals of the forbidden army, plus the generals of various departments and the chief and deputy managers of soldiers and horses in various prefectures and towns, there are dozens of people.
It's just that there was no staggering of the banquet, and it wasn't very lively.
In the past, the various tribes in Dali could not be regarded as united, and it was common to fight openly and secretly. These generals are not sarcastic to each other, which is already good.
And although Wang Ziqian and Chi Fenggu were both sitting on the main seat at the top of the head, the seats were next to each other, and the two of them did not say much.
After only about ten minutes, Chi Fenggu put down the dishes and chopsticks and said to Wang Ziqian: "Senior brother, the Song army is tired, when will we go to serve the Song camp tonight?" โ
He had apparently made up his mind to attack the camp at night.
After all, in this Hengshan Village, he and Wang Ziqian still had many soldiers who were just guarding the city before, and they are still full of energy.
With such an army to fight the tired Song army, the probability of taking the Song camp can be described as extremely high.
Then, Wang Ziqian shook his head unexpectedly and said, "Senior brother, in my opinion, it is better to attack the camp tonight than to go out with a large army tomorrow morning and destroy the Song camp in one fell swoop." โ
Chi Fenggu frowned slightly, and then sneered, "Senior brother, is it possible that he has no confidence in our soldiers in Dali?" โ
"Definitely."
Wang Ziqian shook his head again and said, "I just don't want the soldiers to have too many casualties." โ
Chi Feng said: "What do you mean by this? Do you think the Song army can still resist our army as fiercely as it did just now? โ
Wang Ziqian said in a deep voice: "The commander of the Song army is named Liu Hongyi, although he was only a lieutenant of the Leizhou Zhengbapin Imperial Martial Arts in the past, but the senior brother has just led the army to fight with them, and it should be seen from the Daodao defense line arranged by the Song army that this Liu Hongyi is not so easy to deal with." In my opinion, there is a good chance that the Song army will guard against our army attacking the camp at night. โ
Chi Fenggu sneered, "So what? Even if they are on guard, how much energy can they afford? โ
The generals below just looked at the two of them.
The prince stretched out his hand and pointed out. The moon and stars are scarce, but the whole world is not bright.
He said: "Although there is a bright moon tonight, if our army wants to attack the Song camp, it must still be armed with torches, senior brother has no doubt about this, right?" โ
Chi Fenggu nodded slightly.
Wang Ziqian said again: "Our army only has bows, arrows, knives and guns, but the Song army has such sharp weapons as the Divine Dragon Gun. Attacking the camp with torches, if the Song army is in the barracks and our soldiers, they are familiar with the shape of the military camp, do you think our soldiers can destroy the Song army so easily? โ
Chi Fenggu was not moved, "Senior brother is right, but don't forget, there are still hundreds of hot air balloons in our army." โ
The prince laughed, "Then there are also cupola cannons in the Song camp." Although there are not many, they will definitely be able to hit the hot air balloons in the night sky, and our hot air balloons can hit them? โ
