On a vast grassland, Loulan's army looked extremely embarrassed, with their flags swaying here and there.
The soldiers were covered in blood.
While they fled in a hurry, they looked back from time to time to make sure there were no pursuers and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Lou Jindong was no exception, his face was full of decadence and despair.
However, as the commander of an army, he must boost morale no matter how bad the situation is, not to mention that the group finally escaped and their lives were saved.
"Take a break and wait for other soldiers."
Because when they rushed out, the soldiers were all running for their lives, and they were separated by unknown numbers. They must regroup now, otherwise it will be more dangerous if they are pursued from behind.
Fortunately, Otsuki's army did not pursue them for the time being, and the soldiers were all lying on the grass to rest. Lou Jindongyuan wanted to say a few words to encourage morale, but he couldn't say anything.
With such a disastrous defeat, everything seemed to be in vain, and he also felt a little tired.
After a while, a general came forward and reported: "General Qi, the number of people has been counted. Excluding the cavalry battalion, there are only less than 40,000 left in the army."
What!
Lou Jindong's face was ashen. Before the war, including the cavalry battalion, there were 80,000 troops. When the cavalry battalion was full, there were only 8,000. Even if the cavalry battalion was excluded, there were still more than 70,000. Even if the cavalry battalion was counted, there were only less than 40,000 left. This means that more than 30,000 people were lost in this battle, not including the cavalry battalion.
If you include the Iron Cavalry Battalion, it would be unimaginable.
The cavalry battalion was heavily surrounded and suffered the greatest losses. I'm afraid...
At this moment, Lou Jindong's expression turned extremely ugly. At this moment, he could only pray in his heart, praying that more soldiers had not arrived, but were separated.
Otherwise, with so many people, he would simply...
While he was thinking, Lan Xingjun arrived soon with a sparse cavalry battalion. When he learned that there were less than 1,800 cavalry battalions left, Lou Jindong's teeth seemed to be broken.
The same is true for Lan Xingjun.
Before the war, although he didn't say anything about Lou Jindong's several defeats, he still looked down on him in his heart. But now, he was defeated even more miserably than his opponent.
One can imagine the unwillingness and frustration inside.
"Da Yue! And that bullshit Prince Da Li, I will definitely crush them to ashes."
Lan Xingjun's teeth chattered, "General Lou, let's go back quickly, unite with the Xiongnu army, and we will definitely kill Dayue's army."
"good!"
Lou Jindong shouted loudly.
drive! drive! !
However, at this moment, a fast horse came quickly from the front, "Report! General Qizunlou and General Lan, Biandukou has been lost. The enemy has already headed to Zhangzhou. King Lan ordered General Lan to immediately lead the cavalry battalion to return to defense."
"What did you say?"
Lou Jindong's expression changed, "Didn't you say that King Gran has already made an agreement with the Xirong tribe?"
"I don't know, but the invading enemy army is not the Xirong tribe, but the Lichao army. Please ask General Lan to return to defense immediately."
The spy was only focused on delivering the message and was not aware of the miserable situation of the group at the moment. The cavalry battalion was composed of Loulan's most elite cavalry, and they were very fast.
The main reason why the King of Gran dared to move the defense line forward was because of this cavalry. Biandukou really had something. With the speed of this cavalry, it was almost enough to return to the defense.
Of course, more importantly, he believed that Xirong did not dare to mess around, but how could he have thought that it was not the Xirong tribe that was killed, but the Lichao army.
He would never have thought that this cavalry battalion, on which he was so proud, had less than two thousand soldiers left, and they were all defeated.
Rescue in such a situation?
Of course, rescue must be done, even if these people are exhausted, but Zhangzhou is the first hurdle in Loulan. Facing the first hurdle of the great moon and great separation, this place cannot be missed.
Once this place is lost, Rouge Mountain Racecourse will have nothing to do with them.
They are not the Xiongnu. There is a large area of grassland in Monan. They only have Rouge Mountain, so...
"The entire army obeys the order and returns to defense with all its strength."
Lou Jindong gave an order.
It's a pity that the soldiers have just experienced a big battle, and they were still defeated miserably. The marching speed is self-evident, even the cavalry battalion cannot be much faster.
Compared to the eagerness of these people, the soldiers of Dayue in Rouge Mountain were in a state of joy.
Although they had won a few games before, they themselves knew that such a win would be suspected of being a trick, but today's battle was different. It was a real sword and real gun, defeating Loulan's army in an upright manner.
With just this battle, they could face their relatives and the people of Dayue with their heads held high, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.
Yue Qingchen was no exception, and the excitement on his face could not be erased.
Seeing this, the talented man asked casually, "You've been up all night and had a big battle. Why don't you go and rest?"
Is this bastard caring about himself? Who wants him to care? Yue Qingchen looked disdainful, but felt warm in her heart.
At this time, a soldier came in a hurry, "Princess Qi, Prince Consort, the latest news is that Biandukou has been lost and Loulan's army has been defeated."
Yue Qingchen was startled for a moment, "Bian Dukou? Impossible! The Xirong tribe..."
Before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something, and then looked at Lin Bai. Zhuiyue had told her about the Southwest Allied Forces before.
Lin Bai couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth at this time. The rice king was indeed very fast.
With this guy's character, once he breaks through Biandukou, he will probably go straight to Zhangzhou without further delay. Although Zhangzhou is equivalent to an empty city, Lou Jindong and others have already gone there.
Immediately he looked at Yue Qingchen and said, "Since you don't want to rest, how about we go all out and take down Zhangzhou?"
Yue Qingchen's bright eyes widened. In fact, he couldn't help it for a long time.
When the soldiers learned that they were going to attack Zhangzhou, they were all excited.
In the past, Otsuki had always been beaten and passively defensive, but now he has finally turned around, especially after experiencing such a big victory.
The morale of the soldiers was like a rainbow, and their killing intent was soaring into the sky.
Lin Bai immediately asked Yan Gang to lead 500 soldiers. In addition, Yue Qingchen also mobilized 5,000 cavalry from the army to go with Yan Gang to support him first.
The army followed closely behind.
Yan Gang gave an order and led a cavalry team to Zhangzhou quickly, rolling up smoke and dust.
Lin Bai, Zhuiyue and Yue Qingchen were also ready to go.
There was a fierce light in Yue Qingchen's eyes.
Lin Bai glanced at her and knew that Nizi's mother was killed in Zhangzhou. Now he is attacking Zhangzhou, and you can imagine his heart.
After thinking for a while, he comforted, "You are a general, stay calm, Zhangzhou can't run away."
Yue Qingchen also noticed her loss of composure, looked at Lin Bai, and nodded vigorously, "Yeah!"
Then she stopped talking nonsense and pointed her sword directly in the direction of Zhangzhou, followed by the mighty army.
At this moment, Zhangzhou was already deserted, with only a few remaining soldiers standing on the tower, extremely nervous.
At this time, a large army slowly appeared in front.
