Chapter 619: Retreat (1)
The battle continued until dawn, when it was almost over, and although the fire in the Qin army camp had not been completely extinguished at this time, most of the place had been burned black beyond recognition. There are also many soldiers of the Dai Army who are busy cleaning the battlefield around the camp, cleaning up the corpses of the Qin soldiers, and collecting the materials and equipment left by the Qin army.
At this time, the beast herd had been assembled in the open space in front of the Qin army's camp under the command of the people of the Bai Ling Clan, the men and women of the Bai Ling Clan were feeding the sheep beef or fruits that were rewarded to them, while the women of the Bai Ling Clan were busy treating the injured beasts.
And although the bears, tigers, leopards, wolves and apes are all mixed together, they are basically safe with each other, only occasionally there will be some fights because of the competition for meat and fruits, but under the extreme time of the people of the Bailing Clan, they also stopped immediately, and there was no major chaos, and on the whole, most of the beasts were very honest, waiting to feed or treat them, and there were not many fierce beasts at all.
At this time, the Dai troops who attacked and killed the Qin army from all walks of life also returned one after another, and assembled in front of the Qin army's camp, but they did not dare to approach the beast herd, and stopped far away.
Although before going to war, they had all heard Gao Yuan say that they would drive the beasts to raid the Qin army's camp to open up the situation for the follow-up attacking army, and at the same time repeatedly warned the soldiers that if they saw the beasts, they should not be afraid to mess up.
But when the soldiers of the Dai Army heard this, they were all skeptical, because in their hearts, no one would believe that there was such a thing as driving beasts to fight, raising one or two white wolves, kestrels, or something, and it was reasonable to say that, but when it came to driving more than a thousand fierce beasts such as bears, tigers, leopards, and wolves to fight, it was simply like talking about Arabian Nights. However, now the prestige of the plateau in the minds of the soldiers of the acting army is extremely high, and it has completely surpassed Li Mu, and the acting army respects the plateau like a god, so it is the plateau himself who ordered such an order, and the soldiers of the acting army do not believe it.
Until after the start of the war, the cavalry of the Dai army first saw the beast herd attack on the Qin army camp, and naturally they were surprised and happy, fortunately, there was a plateau in advance to explain, so it did not cause much turmoil and confusion to the Dai army's cavalry, and as a result, after the beast group withdrew from the Qin army camp, the cavalry immediately followed up, and completed the combat mission smoothly, and played a heavy role in this big victory for the Dai army.
But at this time, the troops came back, and the sky was completely bright, so it was also very clear that in front of the open space in front of the Qin army's camp, there were nearly a thousand fierce beasts of all kinds.
But the soldiers are better, because after all, they have been notified by the plateau, knowing that these beasts have been tamed, and they can be regarded as "their own people", and at this time, the beasts are burying their heads in eating, and they seem to be very honest, and they are not too terrible, so although they are a little frightened in their hearts, they can still be stable, but the war horses don't care about these, because of the relationship between the animal biological chain, as well as the instinct for danger and natural enemies, those who are far away are frightened by the chaos of "Herod", and some war horses are unable to move forward, Some even turned their heads to run, and the cavalry had to work hard to control the horses.
Of course, not all animals are afraid of the herd, there are a few animals that not only dare to approach the herd, but also sometimes can confront the beasts, such as the BMW Red Dragon on the plateau, and Yun Yao's pet beast White Wolf Xiaobai, and the two Kestrels, which do not seem to take the beasts in their eyes.
The red dragon followed behind the plateau, walking around the beasts without any care, and looked left and right at the beasts from time to time, but compared with the tall body of the red dragon, the beast seemed to be frustrated by three points, and the two kestrels, although petite, were bolder than the red dragon, and from time to time they stopped on the back of the bear-headed tiger.
And the most powerful is Xiaobai, although it is just a wolf, but like the red dragon, it belongs to the outlier of this subject class, and its body is as big as a donkey, and it is bigger than a tiger and a black bear. And the red dragon only followed the plateau around the beast herd at most, but Xiao Bai dared to walk in the beast herd without scruples, because at this time Yun Yao was also treating the injured beast, Xiao Bai did not leave Yun Yao's side an inch, as if he was afraid that she would be hurt, and walked through the beast herd together.
However, whether it is a tiger or a black bear, it seems to be a little afraid of it, as soon as Xiaobai comes over, they can't help but back down, occasionally a few tigers and bears do not let go, the two sides stare at each other, and even roar a few times, but still take the initiative to retreat. Not to mention the leopard, don't want Xiaobai to be powerful, he ran away with his tail between his legs from a distance, and the wolves were Xiaobai's kind, so they didn't retreat, but when they saw Xiaobai coming, they all honestly stopped eating, and they all bowed their heads and paws, just like worshipping the king, and even a few wolves came over and gently rubbed Xiaobai's body with their wolf heads, as if they were offering pets to it.
Gao Yuan also felt a little surprised when he saw it, because he had been with Xiaobai for a few years, and he had never seen this guy do it himself, and he had caught any prey, and he used to sometimes make a threat and roar a few times, but since Gao Yuan entered the Daijun, life has also improved, and Xiaobai seems to be much lazy, every day he eats and sleeps, and eats when he wakes up, and then he plays with Jiang Mingxia and Luo Huan, so although he knows that it is a wolf and a rare giant wolf, Gao Yuan feels that it is more like a pet dog raised by Yun Yao. Unexpectedly, this guy was actually majestic in front of all the beasts today, and the bears, tigers, leopards, and wolf apes seemed to be a little afraid of it, which really surprised the plateau.
There are also two people who are not afraid of the beasts, that is, Jiang Mingxia and Luo Huan, they are still half-grown minors, but they are very bold, and they have a bit of the momentum of the fearlessness of the ignorant, and they actually ran into the herd of beasts, Jiang Mingxia was originally born in Orion, and has seen bears, tigers, leopards, wolves, and apes, of course she will not be afraid, but she has never seen so many gatherings, and Luo Huan has never seen these beasts, but she usually plays with Xiaobai, so she is not very afraid, on the contrary, she is quite interested.
However, the people of the Bailing clan have lived in Daijun for more than half a year, and they all know the identities of the two of them, one is the raised son and younger brother of the plateau; One is Jiang Huanwu's beloved daughter, who can usually go straight in and out of the mansion on the plateau, and no one dares to stop him, so he is very respectful to the two of them and does not stop them.
Jiang Mingxia has always been innocent, lively and cute, like an elf, and Luo Huan can still pretend to be a young adult on formal occasions, but in private, he is still a child, and as a result, the two of them are running around in the herd, touching this, patting that, pulling the ears of the black bear, pulling the tiger's tail, saying that the leopard's pattern is beautiful, and the wolf's teeth are so sharp, and even took a few pieces of meat from the hands of the people of the Bailing clan to feed the beasts, and they talked and laughed, and they didn't seem to be afraid at all.
Although some of the soldiers were shocked, Gao Yuan, Jiang Huanwu and the others did not stop them, because they knew that there were people from the Bailing Clan here, and the beasts could not hurt them.
Zhao Xuan said with a smile: "The courage of these two children is really not small, ordinary adults don't dare to contact the beasts like this, they are not afraid at all, don't you worry about them when it is difficult?" ”
Gao Yuan smiled: "What is there to worry about, if you don't have the ability to control the beasts, you won't drive them to fight, and we will use the beasts a lot in the future, sooner or later we will let the beasts and our soldiers work together, so the next step is to eliminate the soldiers' fear of the beasts, these two children can just set a good example for other soldiers." ”
Li Yinghong said with a smile: "If it's here, forget it, go back to Daijun and go outside, and let Huan'er have less contact with the beasts, if you let Mrs. Wenqing know, although she won't say anything, I'm afraid I don't know what I'll worry about." ”
Zhao Xuan said: "I'm afraid this is not easy to do, as long as Mingxia wants to come into contact with the beasts, it will be difficult to stop Huan'er." ”
Because the Qin army of Meng Tian's department is the main force of the Qin army's attack on Hongshangsai this time, not only the troops account for more than half of the Qin army, but also the mixed army of chariots and cavalry carefully trained by Meng Tian, and this night attack successfully defeated the Qin army this time, so the Qin army's attack on Hongshangsai has also been disintegrated, plus a comprehensive victory has been achieved on the front line of Jijing, so it can also be said that this time the battle of Daiqin, Daijun has completely locked the victory, and now it is just a matter of winning more and winning less.
In this way, everyone's mood is naturally much more relaxed, and their speech and demeanor are much more relaxed.
At this time, all the generations of troops also basically returned here to gather, and the battlefield was basically cleaned, but the fire in the Qin army's camp had not been extinguished, and the vehicles, baggage, and materials in the camp were also burned, and there was not much loot, but many Qin prisoners were captured. And the captured Qin army couldn't help but be frightened when they saw the beast herd gathered in front of the clearing, and now it is completely certain that the beast herd that attacked the Qin army last night was indeed controlled by the acting army.
Seeing that everything had been dealt with, Gao Yuan also ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp. So under the command of everyone in the Bailing clan, the beasts got up first and walked towards Dazhai.
After returning to Dazhai of the Dai Army, after detailed statistics, the Dai Army completely destroyed the Qin army's camp, found more than 18,000 corpses of the Qin army, and captured more than 13,000 Qin soldiers, and considering that the Qin soldiers who died in the fire in the Qin army camp could not be counted, it is estimated that the casualties of the Qin army should be about 40,000 to 50,000, and the Dai army only killed more than 800 people, and more than 1,000 people were injured, and the number of casualties was less than 2,000. Of course, the number of dead beasts also reached more than 200.
But from that point of view, the Dai army did achieve a near-perfect victory. And the main reason for the victory, of course, is that the beast herd disrupted the Qin army's camp, creating good conditions for the attack of the later generation army, it can be said that without the beast herd, the generation army would never have achieved such a result.
As soon as Gao Yuan returned to Dazhai, he received a report that the right battalion of the Qin army began to retreat.
