Chapter 788: The Madness of the Letter
"Great leader, the casualties of our army have been counted, and there are 864 deaths, including 502 cavalry deaths, ...... infantry deaths, and 613 seriously wounded...... "Zhen 33 grabbed a piece of paper in his hand and said: "4,518 people were killed in the western part of the Lingxi, 5,269 people were captured, and a total of more than 34,000 horses, cattle and sheep were captured...... ”
As for why Zhen Thirty-three didn't say that the seriously injured soldiers in the western part of the Lingxi were naturally unnecessary, even if Heiyu City wanted to treat the seriously wounded in the western part of the Lingxi, it would have to wait until he saved his own people first, the question was whether the seriously injured in the western part of the mountain would be able to support until that time?
This time, the western part of Lingxi suffered heavy losses, and the number of people killed and captured in battle reached 10,000, and if we take into account various reasons such as getting lost and dying of injuries on the road, the number of soldiers in western Lingxi who fled back probably will not exceed 4,000.
The battle losses exceeded 60 percent, and if Lingxi wanted to recover, it would not be possible to do so in 10 years.
The question is, is there such an opportunity in Lingxi?
To Wang Peng's surprise, although the battle was won, the death of Black Domain City was close to one percent, and if you count the number of people who could not go to the battlefield after being seriously injured, the loss was more than one or five percent, which was also not a small loss.
The casualties of the cavalry were somewhat large!
This result was somewhat unexpected by Wang Peng, but after thinking about it, I understood the reason!
There are two reasons why the casualty rate of cavalry is higher than that of infantry, one is that the cavalry combat skills of the two sides in Heiyu City and the western part of the ridge are not much different, which refers to the light cavalry. The second is determined by the combat mode of the cavalry, the cavalry is always in high-speed movement, and once injured, it is seriously injured, which is considered lucky.
Compared with the light cavalry, the losses of the ironclad cavalry were negligible, with only a dozen casualties, less than two percent.
However, the casualties in this war have been far lower than Wang Peng's previous expectations, even if it is forty percent of the battle losses, it is acceptable, and the current situation is already good.
With 12,000 cavalry against 15,000 cavalry, Heiyu City did not have the strength to continue to pursue the rout in the western part of the ridge, so it could only rest in place for a few days, and while sending the wounded back to Heiyu City, he sent people to investigate the movements in the western part of the ridge and prepare for the next attack.
At this time, it was exposed that the strength of the Black Domain City was insufficient, if there were three or four thousand more cavalry, Wang Peng would not hesitate to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and defeat the western part of the ridge in one go, where he would think about how to be passive now.
Besides, Yu Han fled in panic, because before the sudden change in the situation, the 2,000 rear army led by Yu Han had left the battlefield, and it was the only army that was intact, Wang Peng just sent troops to symbolically chase after him, and watched Yu Han withdraw from the battlefield.
Yu Han ran out of fifty miles in embarrassment and stopped, and the defeated soldiers behind him gradually gathered around, counted the number of people, and found that there were less than 3,000 people left, and they even had the heart to die.
Defeated!
This time he was several times worse than the defeat in the battle with the Mughuls, and almost threw all the family funds in the western part of the Lingxi into it, which made Yu Han a little frustrated and confused.
When he was thinking about what to do next, Meng Qi and Yu Yu, who also escaped by luck, appeared in front of Yu Han with hundreds of remnants of the defeated generals, and they were also frightened and confused.
This battle is a bit of a wreck, and the defeat is a bit unclear!
"Are you two alright?" Yu Han forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that these two brothers couldn't support it in the first place, he could still withdraw all the cavalry in this formation, and the number of casualties would definitely not be more than now, but he didn't expect that Meng Qi and Yu Yu would be defeated faster than themselves, and almost all the front and middle troops of this formation would be lost on the battlefield.
"It's fine!" The two hurriedly replied.
If it weren't for Meng Qi and Yu Yu's quick reaction, this little life would have been confessed, and now I am afraid when I think about it. Because they were worried that the letter would be difficult, the two didn't dare to go to see the letter alone, but if the two went back alone, it would be a little inappropriate.
"Boss, the Black Domain City is too weird, there are ironclad cavalry in our hands, our news is wrong, and it has been overshadowed by the Black Domain City!" Meng Qi hurriedly argued.
"Yes! Oh, yes! Boss, I found that there are a lot of Tang people in the cavalry of Black Domain City, could it be a conspiracy of the Tang people? ”
Yu Han naturally saw the ironclad army, there are not only Modao ironclad soldiers in the Black Domain City, but also the ironclad cavalry, the number of which adds up to more than a thousand people, the Black Domain City has such a terrifying strength, and the defeat in the west of the Lingxi is not unjust at all.
Just like Meng Qi said, the Black Domain City is too weird, there are not even a few sets of iron armor in the entire western part of the Lingxi, and the Black Domain City actually has thousands of sets of iron armor at once, if it weren't for the living reality in front of him, Yu Han would still think that he was dreaming!
Black Domain City is a strange existence, infantry phalanxes, sharp arrows, thunderbolts, fire oil bombs, artillery that can breathe fire and make loud noises, Mo Dao ironclad soldiers, and ironclad cavalry, all of which make Hao Han unable to understand Black Domain City, is this still a barren room?
But what can Yu Han say, he was defeated and lost all his family wealth in the western part of Lingxi, and now when he goes back, what will those clansmen do to him, he doesn't dare to think about it.
"Shut up! Do you two dare to say that if you hadn't escaped first, and let this formation suffer an attack on Black Domain City, we would have been defeated? ”
Yu Han immediately put the responsibility for the failure on Meng Qi and Yu Yu, otherwise there is no way to explain this matter to the clansmen, the dead Dao friends are not dead and poor, even if Meng Qi and Yu Yu are their own brothers, what can they do, when it is time to push out the top cylinder, there will be no hesitation.
"Ahh Don't deceive people too much......", Meng Qi naturally would not bear such a charge, and immediately said angrily, calling Yu Han by his name, and glanced at Yu Yu, he had already guessed that Yu Han would sue the wicked first, and on the way back, he had already reached an offensive and defensive alliance with Yu Yu, "Hmph! You are the chief general of the army, and you have not tested the reality of the Black Domain City, and you have launched a general attack, such a big responsibility, do you think the clansmen will believe your words? ”
Meng Qi and Yu Yu are not worried about Yu Han wronging the two at all, the Murowei tribe is not Yu Han's, nor is it the father of the three, but the entire tribe and clan, major matters have to be discussed by the elders in the tribe, even if Yu Han really puts the responsibility for the defeat on Meng Qi and Yu Yu, others have to believe it!
Of course, Yu Han also knows this, otherwise he wouldn't be waiting here for Meng Qi and Yu Yu, "What should I do?" "This matter is too big, Meng Qi and Yu Yu can't bear it at all, and Yu Han even thought about killing these two brothers, but is it really okay to do so?
Whether it is killing Meng Qi and Yu Yu, or framing the two of them, the result is the same, the guilt of his own chief general is too great, unless he becomes the leader of the western part of the Lingxi .......
This thought flashed through his mind, and even Han himself was shocked by this crazy idea, but is there a better way than this?
"Kill!"
Yu Han handed over a sharp look to the guards beside him, and suddenly pulled out the dagger on his waist and slashed it through the neck of Meng Qi, and before the palpitations on the side could react, he was cut down to the ground by the guards on the side.......
