The battle lasted from noon to dusk, and the moment the last big eater fell, the battle was completely over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The battlefield is the corpses of men and horses that can not be seen at a glance, some are still intact, some are divided into two halves, some have turned into pulp, swords, guns, halberds, all kinds of weapons and dense arrows are obliquely inserted into the ground or corpses at various angles.

Towards dusk, the sun had already set, and the ground began to rise repeatedly, some warhorses that had lost their owners stood alone on the battlefield and shook their heads, chirping sadly, and a few old crows were standing on the dead trees next to them, and some tattered flags were planted on the corpses and crackled.

Under Bam Castle, a tight huge circular army formation was still arranged, the big food soldiers were still too far away from the battlefield, they couldn't see the situation of the cavalry fighting the Western Qin army, they had been standing here for a whole afternoon, even if they hadn't done anything, they were exhausted one by one, many of them had cracked lips due to severe dehydration, and some had already fallen to the ground.

A large food sentry kept whipping the war horse and galloped forward, stopped in front of the army formation and ran to the side of the commander Manhard, the big food infantry made way for him to pass, and the sentry galloped to Manhard and gasped and reported: "Your Excellency, the general, all dead, our six thousand cavalry are all dead······

"What? What did you just say? A general stepped forward quickly, grabbed the sentry's coat and said angrily.

The sentry said in fear: "All our cavalry are dead, not a single one is left!" ”

"Ah······h The surrounding Great Eclipse soldiers heard it, and they all became frightened and frightened, and the news spread quickly like the wind, and after a while, the Great Eclipse Infantry in the entire huge army formation knew the bad news.

Manhard's expression was unprecedentedly nervous, he definitely didn't expect that the battle would be so bad, and none of the six thousand cavalry would flee back, all of them would be killed.

Manhard motioned to his general, asked him to release the sentry that reported the news, and asked in a deep voice, "What about the casualties of the Western Qin army?" How many people went to war? ”

The sentry hesitated for a moment and said: "I didn't dare to get too close, I didn't calculate it specifically, but it shouldn't be more than two thousand, and the number of people who participated in the battle was about six thousand, and now they are cleaning the battlefield!" ”

Well, even if the Western Qin army suffered 2,000 casualties, and the 6,000 people of the Great Food Army were all killed, the total casualty ratio was one to three, this result made Manhard unacceptable and square, you must know that these 6,000 cavalry were the cavalry of the Guards of Caliph al-Mansour, the most elite cavalry of the Great Food Country, and the casualty ratio of this elite cavalry and the cavalry of the Western Qin Army was three to one, which made Manhard feel a chill in his heart.

Manhard knew that his idea of taking the initiative to attack was a bit ridiculous, and it was not ridiculous to take the initiative to attack when there was such a huge disparity in combat effectiveness, but it was extremely stupid!

In fact, the Great Food Exploration Post still overestimated the casualties of the Western Qin Army, and after cleaning the battlefield, the total casualties of the Western Qin Army were 928, with 549 actually killed and 377 wounded, and the real casualty ratio was 6 to 1. This battle can be regarded as a relatively large casualty for the Western Qin army, in the previous battles, the casualties of the Western Qin army reached more than 1,000 people, in Zhao Ziliang's view, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Great Food Army is still handy.

"Your Excellency, what should we do?" A subordinate general asked, looking at Manhard.

Manhard turned his head to look at the surrounding environment and terrain, then at Bam Castle on the right, gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately set up camp on the spot, make every effort to build defensive tools as soon as possible, and be sure to set up camp before it gets completely dark!" Send someone to tell the people in the castle to bring out all the tools and help! Now that the Western Qin army has just experienced a battle and is cleaning up the battlefield and resting, they don't have time to attack us for the time being, we must take defensive measures before they finish cleaning the battlefield! ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" The generals agreed and quickly began to carry out the implementation.

Manhard had a heart, he had been commanding troops for many years, and of course he knew that the area around the Bam Oasis was flat and the castle next to it was too small to camp, but there was no other place for him to choose from. If you want to camp, it is best to camp in a place with mountains and rivers or occupy high ground, there are only two places for him to choose, one is to rely on the castle to camp in place, and the other is to withdraw all into the castle, but Bam Castle is not large, at this time the castle has already contained many people, if 22,000 people enter the castle again, the drinking water and food stored in the castle will not be enough to feed so many people.

Just when Manhard was camping with more than 20,000 infantry under his command, the Western Qin army had already cleaned up the battlefield, and the soldiers camped in the open space next to it under the command of the generals and captains, and set up a tent in units of one tithe, and the tents were arranged into a specific formation according to certain rules, and there were no fences, horseback horses and arrow towers around the camp.

Outside the tents in the camp, the soldiers of the Western Qin Army sat around the fires and talked, some were discussing the battle just now, some were thinking about how many combat exploits they could get after this battle, how many rewards they could get or whether they could be promoted, and some were using steel boxes to heat rice paste.

Er Zhu and several generals walked into the big tent of the Chinese army and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "King, the time for the camp patrol has arrived!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was gulping down rice cereal and chewing greasy beef jerky, when he heard the words, he raised his head and asked, "How is the patrol and vigilance arranged?" ”

Wei Gao stood up and hugged his fists and said, "It's been deployed!" The 1st Battalion of the 1st Division of the 2nd Army Corps is responsible for the security patrol in the camp! ”

Huya Army Yu Yun Zhang Ben stood up and hugged his fists and said: "The first brigade of the Huya Army is responsible for the perimeter guard posts, secret posts and scout sentry reconnaissance and patrol matters!"

"Good!" Zhao Ziliang hurriedly finished eating, wiped his mouth, took the wet towel handed over by a guard next to him, wiped his face, and said to everyone: "Let's go!" ”

In the camp, the soldiers sitting around the fire saw Zhao Ziliang and the others coming over, and they all stood up and greeted: "Hello king!" ”

Zhao Ziliang was talking while walking with the generals, when he heard someone greeting, he stopped and nodded with a smile to the soldiers who greeted him: "Okay, you continue!" ”

"The casualties this time are relatively large, they are rare in previous wars, and those who died in the war are just that, after all, they have to be compensated, now the weather is too hot, and the body is only afraid that it will not be preserved for a few days, and it will be cremated tomorrow morning, and after collecting the ashes, send someone back to Jiling City, and then send it back to Xinjing for collective burial by logistics!"

Chen Qing, who marched to Sima, promised with his hand: "Yes, Weichen will arrange for people to do this tomorrow morning!" ”

Zhao Ziliang instructed Du Fu, who was in charge of logistics, "There are more wounded this time, is the pharmacy we brought to the battle enough this time?" ”

Du Fu said: "It's no problem for the time being, but it's hard to say after a long time!" ”

Zhao Ziliang instructed: "Send someone to Jiling City as soon as possible to ask Zheng San to raise more medicines to transport over, especially healing medicines, spirits and heat stroke medicines!" In addition, the care of the wounded should be more meticulous, now that the weather is hot, the wound is easy to become infected and suppurated, we must pay attention to keep the healing camp clean, let the wounded soldiers keep the wound clean! ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Ziliang took the generals and officials to inspect all parts of the camp, and on the way back, he remembered something and asked, "Zhang Ben, what is the Great Food Army doing now?" ”

Zhang Ben said: "Before dark, they were nervously camping, half of the people were dispatched, in order to make this camp firm and strong, they demolished many people's houses outside the castle and took away the wood, now the camp has been completed, just now the front monitoring sentry came back to report that the camp of the Great Food Army is very well guarded, other soldiers of the Great Food Army are eating in the camp, and the walls of the castle are brightly lit!" ”

Hearing this, Zhao Ziliang turned his head and said to Wei Gao: "Wei Gao, your first division has no combat mission during the day, and the task of attacking the Great Food Barracks at night will be handed over to you!" No matter what you do, you can't let the Great Food Army sleep well tonight! ”

Wei Gao clenched his fists and said: "Weichen obeys!" ”

The soldiers of the Western Qin Army were tired from the day's fighting, and most of them fell asleep after dinner, while Wei Gao quietly set off with his first division.

Late at night, most of the soldiers in the camp of the Great Food Army had fallen asleep, and Wei Gao arrived near the periphery of the camp of the Great Food Army with more than 3,000 cavalrymen of the First Division.

Wei Gao rode a horse and stood on a high ground to observe the brightly lit camp of the Great Food Army, the tents of the camp were set up in an orderly manner, the distance between the ranks was the same, and from time to time a group of Great Food Patrol soldiers walked by.

After observing for a while, a general said to Wei Gao: "General, the camp of this big food army is very well guarded, there are many sentry posts, many patrols, and the camp is strong and tall, so it is a little difficult for us to sneak in and attack!" ”

"Who said you have to go in and sneak attack?" Wei Gao said, "The task given by the king to the general is to attack and harass, not to attack the camp!" Tonight, as long as we make the big cannibal sleep well, our mission is complete! Ben will ask you, how far can the Great Cannibal's bow and arrow shoot? ”

The general said: "On that day, we captured some big cannibal bows and arrows, the last general had tried to shoot a few times, the range of the infantry bow was about one hundred and fifty paces, a little worse than our riding bow, too far worse than our lunge, their riding bow range was about one hundred steps, far worse than our riding bow!" ”

"The cavalry of the Great Cannibal has been annihilated by us, and the remaining 20,000 people are infantry, and they should have deployed infantry archers on the walls of the camp! In this way, let's first test the defense situation on the wall of the big cannibal, you first let the first battalion rush to the position one hundred and fifty steps away from the wall, and the shouting must be loud, let's see the reaction of the big cannibal! ”

"Understood!"
