Chapter 860 Boil the Frog in Warm Water

At the same time, Yunzheng's casualties and results were also tallied.

In this battle, not counting minor casualties, nearly 9,000 people were killed or seriously injured.

Three of the generals who commanded more than 3,000 troops were killed in battle.

Except for the beast Qin Qihu and Jia Yao and Shen Luoyan, who had many personal guards, almost all the generals who participated in the battle were injured. Fortunately, their armors were very good. Except for Fu Tianyan, who was slightly injured, the others were slightly injured.

For siege warfare, such casualties are actually very low.

However, there were still 10,000 soldiers with incomplete armor in the enemy city, plus more than 5,000 cavalry who rushed out of the city to burn their food and grass.

Moreover, they attacked suddenly and caught the enemy by surprise.

Calculated in this way, this battle loss is definitely not low.

As for the results of the battle, they captured more than 16,000 enemy troops and beheaded more than 15,000. Only a small group of enemy cavalry was able to take advantage of the chaos and escape.

Thanks to Shen Luoyan and his troops who found the granary in time, only half of the enemy's grain was burned.

If the battle losses of the Guiyi Army and Beihuan are not included, they will definitely have a hearty victory.

But if the battle losses between the Guiyi Army and Beihuan are included, it can basically only be said to be a small victory.

However, as long as Turtle Back City is captured, it is ultimately something worth celebrating.

After sighing with emotion, Yun Ma ordered: "Order all the troops to rest on the spot! Slaughter all the seriously injured horses and reward the entire army!"

In this battle, everyone worked hard, so they should be rewarded properly.

"Shouldn't we take advantage of the victory and pursue it?"

Shen Luoyan asked Yunzheng in surprise.

"What are you chasing!"

Yunzheng shook his head and smiled, "We have suffered a lot of losses, and many of the soldiers are still injured! Let's rest for a few days, let the lightly wounded soldiers recuperate, wait for the news from Gule and Yiwu, and make more productions by the way. Some dry food."

"Why don't you send troops to surround Iya?"

Jiayao was puzzled, "If you send troops to attack behind Iwu now and completely cut off the retreat of Iwu's defenders, none of Iwu's defenders will be able to escape."

Yunzheng looked at Jiayao with a smile, "I will send Beihuan's cavalry, will you go?"

"I..." Gayao was speechless and stopped talking immediately.

Beihuan's losses in this battle were not great. The total number of killed and seriously wounded was almost 1,800.

There were more casualties than she expected.

But she was unwilling to surround the Iwu defenders and increase her own casualties.

"Isn't this the end?"

Yun Zheng smiled and said, "You have blocked the road in front and back, so others are not allowed to fight with you to the end, right?"

"Then let all the enemy troops run away like this?" Qin Qihu was a little unwilling.

As long as they block the Iwu defenders' retreat, the Iwu defenders will be meat on their chopping block!

It doesn’t make sense that I don’t eat even the meat on my lips!

"Just run!"

Yun Zheng smiled indifferently, "If they want to abandon the city and flee, they can't take away the food and grass, right? When they are so hungry, wouldn't it be better to slowly capture the prisoners? Moreover, even if those people are really It doesn’t matter if they all escape!”

"Why?" Shen Luoyan was confused.

"fool!"

Yun Zheng lightly knocked on Shen Luoyan's head and said with a wicked smile: "Lou Yi has been selling everything for this battle! So what if all the Iwu defenders evacuate unharmed? As long as they are hungry, they are us. helper!”

Without food, those defeated troops would be a disaster!

Let’s wait for Dayue Kingdom to go to civil strife first!

They rested, gathered the staff from various departments, and then slowly cleaned up the mess.

In this way, their casualties would definitely be much lower than if they directly surrounded the Iwu defenders.

Listening to Yunzheng's words, Jia Yao couldn't help but admire him: "You are so insidious!"

It has to be said that these soldiers are lucky to meet a coach like Yun Zheng.

At this time, Yun Zheng is still considering the issue of casualties, and wants to take over Dayue Kingdom with a soft knife.

With such a coach, how could the Beifu Army not be strong?

"Can you speak?"

Yun Zheng looked at Jia Yao dissatisfied, "I call it strategic vision, it's like boiling a frog in warm water, not insidious!"

"Yeah!" Jia Yao pursed his lips and smiled, "You are indeed very strategic. In your words, your strategic vision can beat us dozens of times."

"That's pretty much it."

Yun Zheng smiled with satisfaction, and then ordered the generals: "Hurry up and tally up the military exploits of each department! Qin Qihu, Lu Xing, you two immediately lead the blood-coated troops to join Gao He's troops and make an emergency landing on the Gulle garrison as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

The two of them happily accepted the order and ran out in a hurry.

Yesterday's siege battle, the blood-clothed army showed great power, with the fewest casualties but the most kills.

This battle finally established the blood-clothed army's reputation.

It would be even better if he could make a contribution in Gulle.

Just when Yunzheng was about to tell everyone to disperse, Li Cheng suddenly walked in quickly, "Your Highness, a military report has been sent from Xing'an Fort!"

Yunzheng immediately took the military report and asked General Shen Luoyan to read it for everyone to listen to.

The content of the military newspaper is very simple.

It is to report on the offensive and defensive situation of Xing'an Fort.

The enemy's attack on Xing'an Fort was not violent, and it was completely unworthy of the name of the 150,000-strong army.

Tong Gang judged that the enemy's true strength should be only about 100,000.

Moreover, there should be quite a few slave armies.

If the enemy keeps attacking Xing'an Fort according to the current offensive method, it will never be possible to capture Xing'an Fort.

When Shen Luoyan finished reading, the generals already had plans in their minds.

"It seems that you are right."

Shen Luoyan looked at Yunzheng with burning eyes, "It is very likely that the tribes in Moxi are pretending to attack Xing'an Fort, and they are just waiting for Zhao Ji from the northwest to attack, so as to give Zhao Ji a hard time!"

"They should be inseparable!"

Yun Zheng nodded and said: "After all, defeating Zhao Ji will bring more benefits than defeating us."

Shen Luoyan nodded, "Besides, they may be thinking that it should be easier to beat Zhao Ji than us."

Although there are 200,000 troops in the northwest, their combat strength is indeed somewhat worrying.

If Emperor Wen had not held Yun Zheng down, the total number of cavalry in the northwest would have been less than five thousand.

If such a force takes the initiative to attack, it is very likely to fall into the enemy's trap if it advances even slightly.

"You all go down and rest first! I have to write an urgent report to the Imperial City!"

Yunzheng signaled the generals to retreat, and then told Shen Luoyan, "Go and see Miaoyin and tell her not to be too tired! In addition, send someone to order Deng Bao to go outside Lingzhou to find doctors and send them to the front line! Don't come. Yes, catch him directly!”

There were less than a hundred doctors accompanying them.

There were so many lightly and seriously injured people, and there simply weren't enough doctors.

"it is good!"

Shen Luoyan stood up and immediately went to do what Yun Zheng asked.

After all the generals dispersed, Yunzheng immediately began to write a military report.

By the way, I will also write down the good news that they broke through the southern defense line of Otsuki.

In this way, the old guy will be happy after seeing it.

Just when Yunzheng was about to put the written military intelligence report into a special envelope, he suddenly paused.

After thinking about it carefully, Yun Zheng burned the military intelligence report he had just written and started writing it again...
