Chapter 892 Heavy Casualties

Five days later, they finally returned to the camp on the northern front.

After learning that Yunzheng and Jia Yao had returned safely, the generals on the northern front rushed to greet them.

"Thank God, both His Highness and Mrs. Gayao are fine..."

"We have finally brought you back..."

"Your Highness, your leg is injured, you'd better take the carriage!"

"Brother, you and your wife survived the catastrophe. We must celebrate tonight..."

The generals gathered around and talked in a variety of ways.

Yu Shizhong even brought a carriage here.

Looking at the generals gathered around him, Yunzheng couldn't help but smile with relief.

"Okay, okay!"

Yun Zheng stopped the overjoyed generals and ordered: "Let's talk about the celebration later! Yu Shizhong, first tell me about the situation these days! The rest of the people should leave first!"

"Yes!"

Yu Shizhong took the order, followed Yun Zheng and Jia Yao on horseback, and reported the situation to them.

In fact, the infantry who made an emergency landing in the Moxi tribes did not suffer too many casualties.

Wangqi, Zulu, and Mundo combined together suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

Moreover, most of them were casualties of Mundo and Zulu. The heavy infantry of the King's Equipment Division suffered less than 300 casualties.

However, in the battle of Solon Valley, both the Beifu Army and Beihuan suffered heavy casualties.

Beihuan's cavalry suffered more than 8,000 casualties, including six generals above the rank of captain, and He Asu was seriously injured.

The Beifu Army also suffered more than 7,000 casualties, including four fifth-grade and above generals, and Qu Zhi was seriously injured.

Among them, the blood-coated army suffered more than 1,400 casualties, and deputy general Lu Xing was also seriously injured.

The 1,500 personal guards accompanying Yun Zheng suffered more than 800 casualties, and one of the junior commanders was killed.

Listening to Yu Shizhong's report, Yun Zheng and Jia Yao's hearts twitched violently.

"Are the casualties...so big?"

Jiayao clenched his fists tightly, his voice trembling.

How many people did they lose before they stormed Turtle Back?

So many people were killed and injured in the battle of Solon River?

"It's really big."

Yu Shizhong sighed softly, "The northern barbarians are very powerful, and many of the weapons used by the barbarians are blunt weapons. It is difficult for our armor to withstand..."

If a sword strikes a soldier who is fully armored, nothing will happen to him.

However, it is difficult to prevent blows from blunt objects.

The key is that the northern barbarians are too powerful!

In the hands of the northern barbarians, blunt weapons can be said to be deadly weapons.

However, there are downsides to using blunt instruments.

Not deadly enough!

Although the northern barbarians have well-developed limbs, not everyone is powerful.

They use blunt weapons that can easily cause serious injury, but are not directly lethal.

Unless the blunt object hits the person's head directly.

This is very different from their weapons.

Take their cavalry lances as an example. Once a person is pierced by the impact of a war horse, it will be difficult for him to survive unless he is extremely lucky.

However, most serious injuries caused by blunt force blows are internal injuries or broken bones.

Many of these injuries can be recovered as long as they receive timely treatment and a long period of recovery.

However, compared with the skin trauma caused by the sword, the recovery process of this kind of injury is much longer.

Take the Bloody Clothes Army as an example.

Although there were more than 1,400 casualties, only more than 700 people died directly or died from serious injuries.

Most people have broken bones or internal injuries and are currently recovering.

The cavalry of Beihuan was almost in the same situation.

Of the more than 8,000 casualties in Beihuan, half were seriously wounded who needed good care.

Until Yu Shizhong said the following words, Yunzheng and Jia Yao finally felt a little better.

Although the casualties were considered high, they were still much better than when they first heard about the casualties.

If so many people were killed or disabled in the battle, they would surely be in so much pain that they would be unable to breathe.

However, even so, they still felt painful.

The casualties are high, but it's not impossible.

But it depends on the situation.

Originally, they could attack from the front and back and easily eat the cavalry in the hands of Duilong Langri with their absolute superior strength.

According to their plan, the total number of casualties in the Solon Valley battle should not exceed 3,000, and they could force-land the enemy with absolute superiority.

But the sudden intrusion of the northern barbarians completely disrupted their plans and caused them more than 10,000 casualties.

How can this make them not feel pain?

After taking a deep breath, Jia Yao asked again: "How is He Asu's injury?"

Yu Shizhong replied: "It's not life-threatening, but it will take at least half a year to nurse..."

Knowing that He Asu's life was not in danger, Jia Yao felt relieved and asked, "How about capturing it?"

"This one……"

Speaking of the seizure, Yu Shizhong immediately hesitated and stopped talking.

"Say it!"

Yun Zheng looked at Yu Shizhong with a smile, "You haven't killed all the people in Beihuan, how can you still hide this?"

Yu Shizhong laughed dryly before replying: "We took in more than 30,000 prisoners, captured more than 16,000 lightly injured and sound horses, and more than 7,000 horses were either dead or seriously injured..."

This capture is not bad.

However, thinking about the casualties they had paid, Yun Zheng couldn't be happy either.

After a moment of silence, Yunzheng asked again: "Are those 30,000 prisoners just prisoners of the Moxi tribes, or do they include prisoners of the northern barbarians?"

"They are just prisoners of the Moxi tribes."

Yu Shizhong replied: "Because His Highness and Mrs. Gayao were forced to jump off the cliff, the soldiers were so angry that almost no barbarians were left alive. Only a dozen barbarians survived by luck. After interrogation, the general beheaded them directly." …”

At that time, Yun Zheng and Jia Yao didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

All the soldiers vented their anger on the northern barbarians.

He and Miaoyin had forcibly saved the dozen or so prisoners.

Otherwise, the dozen or so prisoners would have been chopped into pieces by the angry soldiers.

In addition to Jiayao, there are also people in Beihuan who understand the barbarian language.

It was also with the help of the Beihuan people that their interrogation could proceed.

"Why did the northern barbarians suddenly attack?"

Gayao asked immediately.

Although she and Yunzheng had already analyzed it, she still wanted to get the exact answer.

"It's all because of that bastard Lou Yi!"

Speaking of this matter, Yu Shizhong couldn't help but itch with hatred, "That bastard deceived Duilong Langri and fled to the territory of the northern barbarians with nearly 20,000 troops. However, he was ambushed by the northern barbarians. Not only did he suffer heavy losses, but he also Lou Yi was captured..."

After Lou Yi was captured, he lied to the northern barbarians, saying that they were just the vanguard and that there would be a large army behind them to attack the northern barbarians.

Those idiots from the northern barbarians didn't even verify the authenticity of the news. They simply organized an army to kill them out of anger.

After hearing what Yu Shizhong said, Yun Zheng was so angry that he cursed.

Fuck!

They were tricked by that bastard Lou Yi!

This bastard has never defeated them once on the battlefield, but he has tricked them several times in a row!

If this bastard hadn't died at the hands of the northern barbarians, if he had the chance to see him again in the future, he would definitely peel off his skin and cramps!
