Since the army was exhausted from attacking all night long, Luo Zhang would naturally not lead the army to attack the city now. A plan is a plan, and what should be repaired must be repaired.
After all, the information about Changsun Wuji has not yet been found out, so if he rushes to attack the city, if he is ambushed by Changsun Wuji, it will be more than he loses.
Besides, Duan Xuanzhi also sent people to inform various places to clear the country and never give Changsun Wuji a grain of food.
While arrangements were made here in Luo Zhang and the army was being reorganized, the atmosphere in Fuling County was very depressing.
Compared with the overwhelming momentum when the troops were dispatched, the city lord's mansion was completely silent at this moment, with everyone lowering their heads and not daring to express their anger.
Changsun Wuji sat at the head of the table, scanning the generals below with a gloomy expression.
"As long as we persist for one more hour, we can capture Chengdu County, but we lost. Tell us why!!!" Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth.
No one dared to speak, for fear of being the one who stood out.
"You all know that Luo Zhang's army has arrived. I have allocated fifty thousand troops to stop Luo Zhang. I don't want to defeat him, I just need to hold him back for two days. But what about you?"
"It was defeated by Luo Zhang's army and horses in just one day, otherwise why would there be such a big defeat today!"
"Madwin!"
"The general is here!"
"What did you say?" Changsun Wuji stared coldly at the people in the audience.
"Sir, everything goes well in blocking Luo Zhangben. Let alone two or three days. It won't be a problem. But who would have thought that the enemy would sneak up from behind and attack me from both sides. I am defeated. As long as I evacuate, I hope you will be aware of it!" Ma Dewen bowed to explain! road.
"So it's not your responsibility? It's because Luo Zhang was so bad that he attacked you secretly. Do I have to ask Luo Zhang why you attacked you? You should fight head-on. A sneak attack is not considered a man?" Changsun Wuji snorted. .
"This..." Ma Dewen was stunned by what Changsun Wuji said. He wanted to defend himself, but found that he was unable to defend himself. Could it be that you are too wise, sir? You are right, so you should ask. Luo Zhang, why the sneak attack, Tai is not a man?
If he said this, he would probably be killed by Changsun Wuji immediately.
"Drag Ma Dewen down for me and give him a hundred army sticks. If he's not dead, lock him up first! If he's dead, just bury him!" Changsun Wuji waved his hand.
Immediately, several guards walked in and dragged Madwen down.
A hundred military sticks can kill someone, and if they can't hold it anymore, they will really be beaten to death.
When Ma Dewen heard Changsun Wuji's words, his face instantly turned pale as paper, but he was unable to refute. Changsun Wuji had already given him a way to survive. It was up to him to see if he could hold on. It was a mercy not to kill him immediately. .
Everyone sighed in their hearts, and it was obvious that they felt a bit sad. In their opinion, the defeat in this battle was not man-made. The soldiers had tried their best. An accident was not what the soldiers wanted, but there was nothing they could do if it happened.
Of course, from Changsun Wuji's perspective, someone must take the blame for this matter.
"How much damage was done to the army?"
After dealing with Ma Dewen's matter, Changsun Wuji looked at the elder and asked.
"A total of 80,000 men and horses were lost in this battle, and there are still 220,000 men and horses, food and fodder..." the great elder reported item by item.
"Only enough food for seven days? Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Changsun Wuji glanced at the great elder and asked.
"Originally, we were preparing to capture Chengdu County, and we would have no worries about food and grass. But who knew that such an accident would happen. Fortunately, we still have seven days of food and grass. During these seven days, we can completely mobilize it from the rear, as well as other villages, towns, and cities. Food and grass." The great elder explained.
"Then allocate food and grass as soon as possible and mobilize troops to the rear. Three days later, we will continue to send troops to attack Chengdu County and cannot give them a chance to breathe!" Changsun Wuji ordered.
"Yes, sir!" Everyone stood up and bowed to accept the order.
The two days passed quickly. Cheng Yaojin had taken a boat south a day earlier in accordance with Luo Zhang's order and rushed to the rear of Fuling County to set up an ambush.
As long as there is food and grass that he wants to transport to Fuling, he will be robbed by Cheng Yaojin.
There was also a big battle in which Changsun Wuji mobilized troops from the rear to join forces from Fuling County and attack Chengdu together.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway, and beat the group of troops into running away. They obviously had the advantage in strength, but in the end they fell apart. They fled and died!
