Volume 3 The Conquest of the Yellow Turbans Chapter 88 The First Battle of the Yellow Turbans (14)
In the evening, on the battlefield.
At this time, the victory or defeat on the battlefield had been decided, and Xu Huang led the army to be stationed in the camp of the original Yellow Turban and others, guarding nearly 100,000 Yellow Turban prisoners.
Li Zhi rode over at this time and saw that Xu Huang was counting the casualties in the big tent, so he asked with concern, "How are the casualties?" ”
When Xu Huang heard his question, he sighed a little sadly: "In this battle, although our army won a big victory, but..."
Speaking of this, he shook his head miserably: "Our army also paid a heavy price, when it set out, there were 60,000 troops, but now there are only more than 40,000 people left, and the rest are all ......!" ”
Xu Huang's face was sad, and there were tears in his eyes.
When Li Zhi heard that nearly 20,000 people had been killed or wounded, he was stunned and speechless.
He didn't expect such heavy casualties, when he defended the city eight days ago, the death toll was less than 10,000, and today more than 10,000 people were injured in one day, how could this not make him grief-stricken.
Li Zhi, who was hit by this bad news, was stunned for a long time, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Collect the remains of the brothers well, there can be no one less!"
Put on a brand new uniform for every brother, and don't let them go away in bloody clothes! ”
Xu Huang looked at Li Zhi with an embarrassed face and said, "But...... There are not so many uniforms in the army. ”
When Li Zhi heard this, he looked at him stunned, and said as if sleepwalking: "Yes, there must be!" If not, take off all our garments and put them on for our brothers. ”
Speaking of this, Li Zhi was quite excited, and said with tears in his eyes: "When I came out, I promised everyone in my family that I would bring them back completely, and now how do you let me explain to the family of the deceased?!" ”
Speaking of this, Li Zhi said with a firm face: "Since Ben Hou can't bring them back alive, then let them go decently, Ben Hou will never allow anyone to wear bloody clothes!" Never!! ”
By the end, he was already roaring loudly.
Li Zhi was a little devastated by the number of casualties at this time, and in later generations, although he had also heard of the cruelty of the cold weapon era.
But when I heard about it, I still can't accept it now that I see it with my own eyes.
In the morning, he was still a person who spoke to him alive, but by noon, he was already a cold corpse, and this strong contrast made him sick and wanted to vomit.
There had never been a moment when he hated war so much, hated this era so much, hated his ...... so much.
Just when he was grief-stricken, Yang Ying opened the curtain covered in blood and walked in.
Seeing that Li Zhizheng was in it, he surrendered his hand and pleaded guilty: "Please forgive the lord!"
I met a group of yellow turbans on the way here, and fought with him for about an hour before I killed all those yellow turban thieves, and almost missed the lord's important matter, please punish the lord! ”
Li Zhi had not yet recovered from his grief at this time, and when he heard his words, he shook his head and said: "You wait late, but there is a reason for it, as long as you win, you don't need to blame yourself too much." ”
Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly turned around and asked, "What are the casualties of the cavalry you led?" ”
Yang Ying was ashamed when he heard this: "I haven't been on the battlefield, and the first time I fought against each other, I was a little in a hurry, but now there are only more than 1,000 people left." ”
"More than a thousand ......?" Li Zhinian chattered about this number and looked at him stunned: "In other words, the casualties in this matter are nearly 1,000?" ”
Seeing Li Zhi's sad expression, Yang Ying said with a ashamed face: "But there are nearly a thousand injuries!" ”
"Poof" Li Zhi suffered this successive blows, but he couldn't support it anymore, and sat on the ground with his butt paralyzed.
"Lord (brother)!" Xu Huang and Yang Ying saw him fall and hurriedly came over to help him up.
"It's okay, it's okay......." Li Zhi said with a pale face: "Rong Benhou is slow, slowly ......." ”
After saying that, he walked to the main seat with difficulty, and sat there in a daze......
At night, within the Yanai of Yangzhai County.
"Come on! I would like to salute all my brothers, thank you for your great help! ”
Li Zhi stood up with the wine cup and toasted everyone.
Before others could speak, Guo Jia, who was sitting on the side, glanced at him angrily, and said with a strange look: "How dare Jia have a toast from Laogu Township!"
Jia didn't play a role in this war, presumably without us, only one person in the ancient village could retreat the thief army! ”
After speaking, he didn't serve the wine cup, took the wine gourd from his waist and drank it himself.
When everyone heard Guo Jia's words, their faces were a little embarrassed, and they were about to pick up the hand of the wine cup, but they were not right, and they were not right, and then they all looked at Li Zhi.
Seeing the embarrassing scene, Li Zhi shook his head with a wry smile, feeling a little helpless about Guo Jia, after all, he was not the first to do this, so he couldn't scold him.
Then Wen Yan said to Guo Jia: "Please forgive me for my brother, this time it's for my brother, come, have a glass of wine, and make amends with my brother." ”
After speaking, he drank all the wine in front of him, and then showed the wine cup to Guo Jialiang.
"Humph!" Guo Jia snorted coldly, and said reluctantly: "Jia Ke doesn't dare to drink the wine toasted by the ancient villagers, what if there is a sweat medicine in it?" Do you want to let Jia sleep for most of the day like this morning? ”
Seeing that Guo Jia was so unrelenting, Li Zhi shook his head helplessly, and thought in his heart: "It seems that the only way to do this is to use a trick." ”
After thinking about it, Li Zhi stretched out three fingers to Guo Jia and said, "Three months!" ”
Guo Jia's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he still ignored him.
"Alas!" After Li Zhi sighed, he spread out all his right hands, and said helplessly: "Five months!" ”
"Uh......!" Guo Jia looked excited, stretched out his hand to the wine cup in front of him, and then seemed to think of something, but quickly retracted, pretended to look around, and ignored Li Zhi.
Li Zhi saw that he was still not serving the wine cup, and he was a little helpless, and after taking a few cases, he scolded: "Six months! Don't go too far! ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he pretended to pout his lips with disdain, but did not speak, but just stretched out a finger.
“……!” Li Zhi looked at Guo Jia speechlessly: "Then the virtuous brother should go and get angry!" I don't care about my brother! ”
After speaking, he took the wine cup and drank with everyone.
"Hey~~?! Don't! Guo Jia saw that he really ignored himself, and hurriedly grabbed Li Zhi's sleeve.
I saw him look at Li Zhi with a flattering face and said, "Six months is six months, it's decided!" ”
Li Zhi held his forehead in distress and said helplessly: "Brother Xian is also about to become a father, why are you still so nonsense like a child?"
Yes! I agreed for my brother! Even if you get drunk to death in the past six months, you won't bother to care about you as a brother, just drink it! ”
"Hey......." Regarding Li Zhi's accusation, Guo Jia was not ashamed but proud, and said with a smile: "In this way, Jia is grateful to my brother!" ”
Everyone was confused by the dumb riddle of the two brothers, and looked at the two of them in confusion.
Guo Jia was a little embarrassed by everyone, so he picked up the wine cup and saluted everyone: "Just now, Jia was too foolish, and I salute all the brothers with a glass to make amends." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly picked up the wine cup and drank it all.
Seeing him like this, Li Zhi shook his head, picked up the wine cup and saluted everyone: "This time I fought with the Yellow Turban, but I have to work with you, thank you for your help, please drink this cup and win!" ”
"Drink to win!" Everyone raised their glasses in return.
