Chapter 1842: Heartbreaking List of Casualties
The fish belly white of the sky gradually appeared, and soon a little golden light appeared on the horizon.
The night's battle finally ended at the last moment before dawn.
Qin Huaiyu had a smile on his face. He led his army to block the enemy all night last night and did not let go of any Japanese soldiers who tried to escape.
"Cheng Er."
"We have accomplished a great feat this time. None of the Japanese people can hope to return alive." Qin Huaiyu jumped off his horse and shouted happily inside before he reached Cheng Chumo's barracks.
But Cheng Chumo did not appear.
"Cheng Er?" Qin Huaiyu shouted again.
"General Qin." Cheng Chumo's general came out of the barracks.
"Where's Cheng Er? Are you asleep?" Qin Huaiyu frowned, thinking that Cheng Chumo was too weak and could no longer hold on after only one day and one night.
Not as good as a half-disabled guy like myself.
"General Qin, I...my general..." A sad look appeared on the general's face.
"What's wrong with Cheng Er?"
"Where is he injured?"
"Go and see a military doctor!" Qin Huaiyu was so excited that he squeezed the cake brought back by Cheng Chumo tightly in his hand.
General Pian shook his head with tears in his eyes: "General Qin, my general... died in the battle."
"Zhan... died?" The cake in Qin Huaiyu's hand fell to the ground, and his whole body was stunned as if struck by lightning.
He came to Silla and Baekje together with Cheng Chumo.
When the whole nation of Baekje surrendered, it was Cheng Chumo who asked him to follow him to fight against the Japanese.
They supported each other along the way and resisted Yeon Gaesumun's 200,000 troops in the new city.
Try to protect the new city.
In Rangcheng, he and Cheng Chumo blocked the defeated Japanese army, but...
Qin Huaiyu didn't know how he walked into Cheng Chumo's tent.
Just dumbfounded

He looked at the good brother who used to shout loudly into his ears, but now he was lying motionless in front of him.
The guy who lived happily with him in Chang'an was just lying here in the cold.
"Cheng Er." Qin Huaiyu fell down next to Cheng Chumo, holding the already cold hand tightly with both hands, calling Cheng Chumo hoarsely.
But how could Cheng Chumo still answer?
The other generals in the camp all lowered their heads and sighed in their hearts.
…
"Zhijie, you have to hold on." Cheng Yaojin just slumped to the ground after hearing the news that Cheng Chumo had died in battle.
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin never imagined that his son would actually walk in front of him.
Without caring about anything, Cheng Yaojin grabbed a fast horse and headed straight for Cheng Chumo's camp.
I arrived here in less than half an hour.
But at this moment, Cheng Yaojin stopped. He did not dare to go in and see his son's body.
"Uncle Cheng, I..." Qin Huaiyu came to Cheng Yaojin with a sad face.
Cheng Yaojin didn't look at him. Cheng Chumo's shadow was now in his mind.
During the fake war in Xincheng, Cheng Chumo also told him that he would like him in the future, conquer all directions and become a world-famous general.
But now...
"It's none of your business." Cheng Yaojin wiped a tear from the corner of his eye, patted Qin Huaiyu on the shoulder, and then walked into the camp with a smile.
There were no cries from the camp, but the soldiers standing outside heard soft whimpering from inside.
Xu Shiji and Li Jing also came.
Neither do they
One would have thought that in this almost final battle, Cheng Chumo would die among the arrows of the Japanese army.
After Xu Shiji paid homage to Cheng Chumo, the look on his face was indescribably ugly.
"Mr. Wei, how should we tell His Highness this matter?"
"The relationship between His Highness and Chu Mo..." Xu Shiji looked at Li Jing. .??.
Everyone knows the relationship between Zhao Chen, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu.
Now Cheng Chumo died in battle, and it was because he blocked the remaining Japanese soldiers. Zhao Chen personally ordered Cheng Chumo to come to support.
Now tell Zhao Chen this news, what will Zhao Chen think?
How did Li Jing know how to tell Zhao Chen about Cheng Chumo's death in battle?
But things can never be hidden.
If Zhao Chen knew about it by then, he would definitely be even more angry.
"I'll go talk." Li Jing sighed and said.
"Hey, that's fine. Mr. Wei, you are his elder, so he can listen to what you say." Xu Shiji nodded.
…
In the camp outside the north of Yangcheng City, Zhao Chen was waiting for news from the various armies.
"Your Highness, there is news just now that there are less than 20,000 Japanese soldiers left in the Japanese army, and all the Japanese soldiers who blocked the military advisor have been wiped out."
"The people of Yoshio Otsuka were also blocked by the two generals Cheng and Qin. Now there is no movement there."
"All armies are arresting Japanese prisoners everywhere."
The generals under his command shared the news from earlier with Zhao Chen.
The formal report has not yet been sent.
"Don't be too happy. This attack on the Japanese army made those Japanese people jump over the wall in a hurry, and our people also suffered a lot of losses."
"Instruct all ministries, once all casualties are

After the statistics are completed, send them to me immediately. "
"All fallen soldiers must receive generous pensions. No one is allowed to corrupt the pensions of fallen soldiers. If one is found, one will be killed." Zhao Chen said to the general next to him.
"Yes, Your Highness." The general received the order and was about to go out. As soon as he opened the tent door, he saw Li Jing getting off his horse.
"Your Highness, Lord Wei is here." The general turned around and said to Zhao Chen.
"Oh, so soon?" Zhao Chen was also surprised. He stood up to greet Li Jing. He also wanted to know the results of the battle.
Li Jing walked into the tent and looked at Zhao Chen in front of him: "Your Highness."
"Lord Wei, no need to be polite. Sit down." Zhao Chen said with a smile, and personally brought a stool for Li Jing.
Li Jing did not sit down, but still stood in front of Zhao Chen, holding a thick memorial in his hand: "This is a list of some of the fallen soldiers..."
"So many, is the casualty so heavy this time?" Zhao Chen frowned. He knew that there would be a lot of casualties this time, but he didn't expect it to be so heavy.
"The Japanese are desperate and are fighting with their lives. The casualties of our army are reasonable."
"The Japanese army of 70,000, more than 50,000 casualties, more than 10,000 prisoners, and the rest are still being captured." Li Jing said slowly.
Zhao Chen nodded and took the list of fallen soldiers from Li Jing.
"Your Highness, there is something I hope you won't be too sad about." Li Jing looked at the book in Zhao Chen's hand.
"What happened?"
"Did Otsuka Yoshio run away?" Zhao Chen asked with a smile.
"He ran away, so what? After we finish dealing with things here, we will take down his Japanese base together." Zhao Chen said casually.
Li Jing shook his head and said nothing, watching Zhao Chen open the list of casualties in his hand.
The first name that caught his eye was General Cheng Chumo, who was killed in action.
