Liu Mingzhi naturally heard the scout's report. Although his expression remained unchanged, he was also a little panicked.
Not only did the enemy's 50,000 reinforcements outnumber his own by 10,000, what worried Liu Mingzhi most was that his own side only had 20,000 cavalry while the enemy had 60,000 cavalry.
The gap between the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and ourselves is really too great.
Liu Mingzhi anxiously turned his head in the direction of Ganzhou City. Liu Mingzhi was anxious in his heart. Did Dongfang Ming receive the message from Song Qing to come out for support?
Once Longwuwei's hundreds of thousands of people are delayed outside the city and the enemy forces attack across the board, Longwuwei may be in danger of being annihilated.
Even if the enemy army were divided and attacked, the army stationed outside the city would not be less than 140,000!
"Master Marquis, you go into the city alone first. If the enemy comes with reinforcements, I'm afraid the general will not be able to take care of your safety for a while!"
Ke Yan looked at Liu Mingzhi seriously and said that no matter what, he could not watch Liu Mingzhi, the warlord, get hurt.
"Screw you, how can I, as the commander-in-chief of the three armies, run away from the battlefield and ignore my brothers!"
"But the enemy is coming..."
"Stop it, you can command with peace of mind. You don't have to worry about the safety of this governor!"
"yes!"
"kill............"
Ganzhou City suddenly heard a thunderous and earth-shattering sound of killing, which resounded throughout the sky for a long time.
Liu Mingzhi looked happy, Ganzhou City finally sent troops to support!
Keyan's expression also relaxed, as long as the reinforcements from Ganzhou City supported his own advantage, his advantage was back.
Liu Mingzhi took out Qianli and looked towards the east gate of Ganzhou City, but the figure of the Xiaoguo Guard army of Ganzhou City was still missing in the lens tube. Liu Mingzhi was puzzled and didn't know what was going on.
Not only was there no sign of the Xiaoguo Guard army, but the shouts of killing were getting farther and farther away. Liu Mingzhi hesitated for a moment, then looked with a telescope towards the northwest with a happy face.
Sure enough, as he thought, even though the vast city wall blocked his view, Liu Mingzhi still saw the smoke and dust billowing in the sky through the lens tube.
"After all, he is Shuo, a veteran general who has guarded the northern frontier for many years. What a great move to surround Wei and save Zhao!"
Liu Mingzhi understood that Dongfang Ming had not appeared from the east gate for a long time, so he must have taken the opportunity to go out from the north gate and attack the enemy's camp in the western region.
"General Ke!"
"What happened to Mr. Hou?"
"Instruct the three armies to be ready to chase down the enemy troops who are about to retreat at any time!"
"Retreating enemy troops?"
Ke Yan looked at the battlefield where the battle was taking place in confusion. The enemy army didn't seem to be retreating.
However, in just half a stick of incense, just as Liu Mingzhi said, the reinforcements from the Western Regions not only did not arrive, but even the enemy troops from the Western Regions who were charging began to gallop back.
Although he was shocked, Ke Yan immediately came to his senses: "Send the order, send the order to the three armies to pursue the enemy!"
"Got the order!"
On the battlefield in the southeast of Ganzhou City where corpses lay everywhere, except for tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers who were left to guard supplies and rescue the injured Dalong soldiers, the mighty and endless Longwu Guards pursued the enemy.
The Longwuwei army bypassed Ganzhou City and rushed towards the enemy's camp in the Western Region.
Three miles away from the enemy's camp in the Western Region, thick smoke can be seen billowing and fire is burning from a distance that is not yet close to the enemy's camp.
"Quick, General Dongfang Ming is in a very dangerous situation, charge at full speed!"
The Long Wuwei army used all their strength to rush towards the enemy camp and met up with the Xiaoguo Guard.
However, the battle Liu Mingzhi expected did not happen. Dust and smoke were billowing in the west direction, and the army from the Western Regions actually chose to escape.
The two sides were evenly matched and Liu Mingzhi, a native of the Western Regions who had the advantage in cavalry, never expected that the enemy troops from the Western Regions would escape.
Only one tent was left, with the sky red with fire.
"Three...Commander Commander, are you okay?"
Song Qing didn't know when he had put on his armor and leaped towards Liu Mingzhi.
Liu Mingzhi shook his head and looked at the enemy camp: "I'm fine. Where is General Dongfang Ming?"
"He was leading the army to kill the remnants of the enemy who had no time to escape. I originally thought it would be a tough battle. The two sides would fight head-on. Unexpectedly, the people from the Western Regions actually retreated. I wonder what their commander was thinking?"
Liu Mingzhi flew to a higher tent that was not on fire, took out his telescope and looked towards the west. Looking at the three plumes of dust and smoke in the telescope, Liu Mingzhi sighed: "This is the result of inconsistent military morale!"
Liu Mingzhi understood from the situation that the enemy army in the Western Region divided into three groups and fled. It must be that the soldiers in the enemy camp in the Western Region had different opinions that prevented them from fighting head-on.
Before entering Ganzhou City, the enemy forces in the Western Regions engaged in a large-scale field battle at hand-to-hand combat, which was an outcome Liu Mingzhi did not predict.
The idea of striving for total annihilation also came to nothing. Liu Mingzhi could not predict whether the enemy forces in the Western Region would make a comeback.
Maybe, maybe not, who can guess?
"Hahaha... I am still puzzled. Ke Yan has always used troops in a steady and gradual manner. His method of using troops will never be so radical. From the beginning, he was covered with an overwhelming rain of arrows regardless of any consumption and follow-up. It's like a different person. It wasn't until I met Commander Song that I realized that it was our famous white-clothed Confucian commander from Northern Xinjiang who came!"
General Gan Liangbo of the Xiaoguo Guard, Dongfang Ming's scarlet cloak dripping with blood behind his armor, walked over with a gleaming Mo Dao while laughing heartily.
Liu Mingzhi leapt down from the tent and landed steadily in front of Dongfang Ming: "I have seen General Dongfang!"
Dongfang Ming waved his hand boldly: "Hey... I am Uncle Gan Liang. You should only salute this Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"
Liu Mingzhi knew that Dongfang Ming was just teasing him and not taking it seriously. He glanced at the blood-like setting sun and said, "Uncle Gan Liang will soon become the Marquis of Gan Liang, and General Dongfang will also be among the Marquises!"
The bold Dongfang Ming's face darkened, he grabbed the cloak behind his back and carefully wiped the blood on Mo Dao.
"There's nothing to be happy about. I'd rather not have the titles my brothers piled up with corpses! I'd rather they live!"
Liu Mingzhi fell silent. No wonder the generals of the Six Guards of Northern Xinjiang were all like each other and never had any disputes with each other, because they all had one thing in common, they loved their soldiers like their own children.
"General Dongfang, please send out scouts to conduct reconnaissance to prevent the enemies from the Western Region from coming back. It's getting dark now and it's not a good time to pursue!"
Dongfang Ming nodded: "That's all we can do. I will immediately send out ten scouts to continuously investigate the enemy's situation!"
"In that case, General, go and do your work first. After cleaning the battlefield, we can talk about it later!"
"Okay, you and Long Wuwei's army can go into the city first. I will order the three armies to clean up the battlefield!"
The torches at the southern gate of Ganzhou City burned brightly on the city wall. Liu Mingzhi looked at the vague figures cleaning the battlefield outside the city with a melancholy expression.
After all, the enemy forces in the Western Region did not make a comeback.
"Commander Commander, the battle damage statistics have been calculated!"
Ke Yan held a roster and walked up to Liu Mingzhi with a heavy expression.
"Tell me about it!"
"2,700 light cavalry were killed, 800 were seriously wounded, and 5,000 were lightly wounded; 623 heavy cavalry were killed, 436 were seriously wounded, and 4,200 were lightly wounded; the infantry In the civil war, more than 2,600 people were killed, more than 4,520 were seriously injured, 30,000 were slightly injured, and 20,000 enemy heads were captured. Including the 7,000 seriously injured enemy troops, we gave them a happy life, and captured 4,318 lightly wounded enemy troops, 18,000 war horses, and 14,000 horses in good condition!"
Ke Yan looked at Liu Mingzhi's complex eyes and sighed: "The light cavalry suffered the most serious damage in the head-to-head encounter. If you hadn't ordered the rain of arrows to support the brothers regardless of the cost, Commander, the damage would have been more than tripled!"
"After the troops are gone, the road to North Xinjiang is open, and the crows are coming and going, noisy in the cold sky!"
"It's pitiful that the bones are piled up in the solitary grave, all for the general seeking military exploits!"
