Chapter 475: Unintentional Chill
"Let's go! I'm tired of rushing and fighting fiercely for days, so let's go back to Jiangdu to rest first! Under the pursuit of the king of Zhennan, the rebel army will be hit hard this time!"
Under the orders of the king of the backer, the Xiaoguo Holy Guard, the forbidden army and the generals' personal guards rested on the spot, and most of the Jiangdu troops who came to help were taken away by Wu Xin to participate in the pursuit of the rebels, and only tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers stayed to strengthen their momentum and clean up the battlefield by the way.
The Hanjiang ambush lasted for several days, and the casualties on both sides were very large, especially those of the elite and the strong.
In the imperial court camp, 60,000 or 70,000 forbidden troops, more than 2,000 Xiaoguo holy guards, more than 10,000 personal guards, and Ouchi masters and guards were killed in the battle, and the spoils of war can be imagined.
In the anti-army camp, the casualties were about ten times that of the imperial court, more than a million, and the strong men of various forces were tens of thousands.
Of course, don't think that if the court kills ten times as many enemy troops as itself, it will be a great victory. In fact, it can be regarded as a defeat, a big defeat, and the casualties are basically caused by the tactics of the sea of people.
The sixty or seventy thousand forbidden troops alone had to be carefully selected from the millions of Sui troops to get them. The Xiaoguo Guards and the rest of the Guards are similar.
This battle is tantamount to the imperial court taking the elite and exchanging the anti-army army, no matter how you look at it, it is not cost-effective!
Tens of thousands of soldiers worked together, and they were not carefully cleaned up, the battlefield was quickly cleared, and the corpses were piled up, and the blood was like a stream!
With so many corpses, it is natural to concentrate on cremation, otherwise it is easy to cause a plague, and there is a certain risk of burying them.
"The corpses of General Shang and the new general...... Can't find it, only part of the wreckage!"
Seeing that the battlefield was cleared, the forbidden army, holy guards and other formations were ready to leave. A middle-aged general in dark blue armor, sweating on his cheeks, reported cautiously with a nervous face.
"What?!" Yang Guang was stunned, and before he could respond, Yang Lin was already glaring angrily.
The Four Treasures General Shang Shifu and the Eight Horse Generals Xin Wenli, famous all over the world, this time the southward military achievements are impressive. If the imperial court does not treat it well, how can it explain to the army? How can it explain to the people of the world?
Now, there are no dead bodies?!
"The subordinates are incompetent, please ask the prince to surrender! There are too many corpses, and they have been trampled into flesh and mud, and they can't be clearly distinguished......"
The middle-aged general was shocked, and hurriedly bowed down and pleaded guilty, and explained that in the end, the voice became smaller and smaller, and it was inaudible.
Yang Guang, Yang Lin and the others suddenly looked at the two large and small corpse mountains that were bloody and bloody, and were silent for a while.
The level of this battle is relatively high, the two sides dispatched a lot of masters, the aftermath of the battle is very violent, the complete land, grass, trees, etc. are basically not visible within a range of more than ten miles, and it is normal for the corpses to be shattered.
Coupled with the trampling back and forth of countless iron horses, in the case of corpses everywhere, the soldiers are very fast, and the iron horses will not deliberately walk around the corpses, otherwise they will not be able to go anywhere!
The atmosphere was silent and solemn......
The dignified Four Treasure Generals and Eight Horse Generals fell into such a field, which is really difficult to accept for these people who fought in the south and the north.
"Ahem, ahem, take back his body, build a clothed mound, and bury it thickly. Shang Aiqing's nickname 'Bao' posthumously crowned Tianbao Gong; the new Aiqing's nickname 'Ma' posthumously crowned Eight Horse Princes! Give the two Aiqing's family members a reward of loyalty and righteousness (seven products, loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, and faith)!"
Yang Guang didn't feel as deeply as others, coughed a few times to divert everyone's attention, and commanded solemnly in a calm tone.
After all, in Yang Guang's heart, the heavy casualties of the Xiaoguo Holy Guard and the forbidden army were the most distressing part of him.
"Yes!" The middle-aged general was stunned and replied respectfully, but there was a chill in his heart.
Yang Lin, Pei Qiantong, Yuan Li, Linghu Xingda and other ministers, as well as the surrounding holy guards and forbidden troops, most of their faces changed slightly, and their brows were furrowed, making the atmosphere more depressing and dignified.
With the prestige, merits, and status of the Four Treasure General Shang Shifu and the Eight Horse General Xin Wenli, especially the fate of the two, in the end, it turned out to be just a useless duke's name, and he gave his family descendants a seven-rank general?
Although, the Horse Shroud is still the ideal destination for every general and soldier. However, the bereavement and aftermath are a big problem, one of the most important issues for each force, and one of the main differences between the regular army and the rabble.
To put it bluntly, Yang Guang's reaction at this time made many people feel cold!
"Back to the city!"
At this time, Yang Guang was still worried about the heavy casualties of the Holy Guard and the forbidden army, and was even more worried about the heavy damage of Qiu Gonggong, the future of the Great Sui Empire, etc., so he didn't think much about it, and soon passed the order.
Moments later......
Tens of thousands of troops surrounded Yang Guang and marched in the direction of Jiangdu.
The sunset is stained, and the sky is stained with blood.
Under the setting sun, tens of thousands of Jiangdu troops who had not been trained for a long time, guarding the elite of the imperial court after the war, slowly walked towards the Jiangdu City, which was like a mighty earth beast, dragging out a long shadow on the earth, like an army heading towards the sunset.
More like ...... It is slowly walking into the mouth of the giant beast that devours heaven and earth.
......
The ambush battlefield is more than ten miles north.
The ambush was carried out on the banks of the river, but also on the beaches and plains. To the west and south are the river basin, to the east is the plain, to the Jiangdu City, and to the north is the Tiandu Mountain, the Wodu Mountain Range and related mountains and forests.
Even if there were entangled mountains and forests, Wu Xin personally led Xin Wuwei and tens of thousands of iron cavalry to pursue, but he still quickly caught up with the rebels whose morale had fallen and spread all over the mountains, and he covered up and killed more than 10,000 rebels who were straddled and scattered, and their corpses were scattered for miles.
The sunset was stained with blood, and the sky was dark.
Countless rebels are like ants all over the mountains, roaring and screaming all over the mountains and running wildly, but they can't outrun the four-legged war horses.
Fortunately, Wu Xinzhi was chasing and killing the main force of the rebels, and did not clear out the scattered and chaotic army. However, just covering up and killing, he also left corpses everywhere.
"Whew......"
Seeing that the banner representing Li Tang was a few miles away, countless horses neighed, and tens of thousands of iron horsemen stopped and turned around.
The entourage, as well as more than 10,000 people from the rivers and lakes, are mainly the Hades Hall of the Five Sects of the Righteous Path, nearly half of them are monks, and there are no clouds covering the sky, but they are magnificent.
"Got, got, got, got......"
The main target took the initiative to stop, Wu Xin raised the mountain and river stick in his hand, Xin Wuwei and the Great Sui cavalry slowed down their speed, and the iron hooves were restless.
"Why is the Evil Martial King so aggressive?!"
More than a thousand meters away, Li Jiancheng came out of the battle accompanied by Li Yuanba, and looked at Wuxin from afar with helplessness and annoyance.
"You are a thief, this king is a soldier, don't you think it's ridiculous to talk aggressively?
Wu Xin surprisingly did not rush into battle and fight fiercely, but stopped and responded.
Countless people on both sides were surprised and puzzled, Li Tang Tieqi and the powerhouses of the major forces were obviously the queen of the palace to cover the retreat of the rest of the rebels, and the Evil Martial King was not in a hurry? Could it be that the Evil Martial King mainly wanted to keep them?!
