With Changsun Wuji's withdrawal, the crisis in Chengdu County was relieved, and Luo Zhang did not send troops to pursue him.
He is not stupid. An old and cunning person like Changsun Wuji must have an ambush in the rear army. If he pursues him, he will definitely fall into the ambush.
By then there will have to be a lot of soldiers, and soldiers will die for it. Anyway, the crisis in Chengdu County has been resolved, and his Changsun Wuji's plan has failed, so that's all.
Of course, it is impossible to let Changsun Wuji go.
His soldiers traveled day and night to rescue Chengdu County. They were already very exhausted, and it was unrealistic for them to pursue them again.
It is better to keep up the energy and fight Changsun Wuji again. By then, Luo Zhang will not let Changsun Wuji leave again.
After Changsun Wuji's army withdrew like a tide, the entire Chengdu County was boiling.
The soldiers cried with joy, and the people came out of their houses and cheered.
This battle was really too difficult. You must know that at the last moment when Changsun Wuji retreated, they could no longer hold on.
You know, when Changsun Wuji retreated, there were only 8,000 defenders left. There were only 2,000 defenders at each city gate, and one thousand of them were injured.
There are only a thousand men and horses intact, and all the wood, stone, oil, kerosene, and wood sticks have been exhausted.
It is equivalent to saying that if the enemy attacks the city wall, they will have to fight hand-to-hand with the enemy with knives and swords.
Fortunately, Changsun Wuji couldn't bear it first and chose to retreat, otherwise Chengdu County would definitely not be able to defend it.
Once Chengdu County was captured and Changsun Wuji's army entered it, Luo Zhang had to attack Chengdu County. But if Chengdu County was so easy to attack, Changsun Wuji would not have fought for so long.
Of course, Luo Zhang has artillery and can bombard the city wall, but if Changsun Wuji threatens Luo Zhang with the people in the city and the remaining soldiers, even if Luo Zhang has artillery, he will not be able to attack Chengdu County!
Fortunately, this did not happen. Chengdu County persisted, and so did Luo Zhang's officers and soldiers.
"Commander, I have made a great contribution this time!" Cheng Yaojin rode up to Luo Zhang and said with a smile.
Luo Zhang also laughed. Indeed, if Cheng Yaojin had not quickly broken through and blocked this battle, by the time his army reached Chengdu County, Changsun Wuji would have already captured Chengdu County.
The city was defended, and what Luo Zhang was most worried about now was Sun Simiao and Lao Duwu.
The war is over and they still haven't come back. Could it be that the situation like last time will happen again?
The last time they were in Tubo, Sun Simiao and Lao Duwu fought against the two living Buddhas of Tubo. In the end, they both lost. Sun Simiao and Lao Duwu found a place to hide and heal.
This was the situation Luo Zhang mentioned last time.
"Send spies to search for my Grandpa Sun. If there is any news, report it to me immediately!" Luo Zhang gave the order just before entering the city.
Many people knew Sun Simiao. When he first entered Shuzhong, many soldiers were not acclimatized to the local environment. It was because Sun Simiao followed him and found a lot of herbs to brew for the soldiers to take, so that those soldiers who were not acclimatized to the local environment were not seriously affected.
The name of Divine Doctor Sun naturally spread among the army.
After issuing the order, Luo Zhang led the army into Chengdu County.
In Chengdu County, the people lined the streets to welcome them. At the city gate, Duan Xuanzhi led a group of officials and generals from Chengdu County to welcome the arrival of Luo Zhang's army.
Duan Xuanzhi was a little lucky that he made the right bet. If he had led his army to escape from Chengdu, he might have been imprisoned in a sky prison now.
Fortunately, he persisted and did not escape.
Although this battle was very miserable, with only 8,000 defenders remaining out of 50,000, and more than 40,000 lost in the battle, they persevered in the end, and this was victory.
There are no casualties in a war. Compared with the massacre of Fuling, although they lost more than 40,000 people in the battle, they saved the lives of the people in Chengdu County. This is a victory.
It's no wonder that when Luo Zhang's army entered the city, they were cheered by the people. It was the massacre in Fuling County that frightened them all.
He was afraid that after Changsun Wuji occupied Chengdu County, he would massacre the city again.
Just as Luo Zhang was chatting with Duan Xuanzhi and following him to the city lord's palace, a general quickly came to Luo Zhang and bowed: "Sir, I found the poisonous old man Sun Shenyi told you about outside the city! "
As soon as these words came out, Luo Zhang immediately stopped his horse and asked, "How are they now?"
