Chapter 226

"Hurry up and count the casualties!" Tang Yu said solemnly.

In this expedition, he obviously didn't have many manpower. Tang Yu couldn't bear too much loss. Besides, every cavalryman was a treasure. It would take a lot of effort to train a cavalryman.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Meng Tian responded, paused and said again: "Your Highness, we just captured five thousand Chu troops. What should we do with these five thousand Chu troops?"

"Kill!" Tang Yu said without hesitation.

Meng Tian was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness, are you going to kill them all?"

"Yes, kill them all. Why don't you keep them for the New Year?" Tang Yu said solemnly.

When Li Jing withdraws his troops later, he apparently only has 30,000 cavalry at most. If this group of Chu troops takes the opportunity to cause trouble, it will only cause more trouble for him. Rather than doing so, it is better to kill them all.

Hangu Pass was ambushed this time, and the Golden Fire Cavalry probably also lost a lot of men. It was just right to use these 5,000 Chu troops to pay homage to the souls of the Golden Fire Cavalry who died in the battle.

Meng Tian responded respectfully: "Yes, Your Highness, I will make arrangements right away!"

Remember https://m in one second.

"Your Highness, we continue to hibernate in the dark!"

As soon as Meng Tian left, Li Jing rode up to meet him.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Li Jing gave him a fist.

At the same time, the second line of defense of the Tang Dynasty was in Yangzhou City.

Qin Mang stood on the city wall. He squinted his eyes and murmured to himself: "Counting the time, Tang Yu and the others should be annihilated, right?"

"Run away, run away quickly!"

Qin Mang had just finished speaking when a large number of Chu army deserters appeared in Qin Mang's field of vision.

"General, look quickly, that...that seems to be the Chu army!" A general said in shock.

"Chu Army?"

Qin Mang's expression changed, and he immediately ordered: "Open the city gate and arrest a few people for questioning!"

"Yes, General!" The general responded respectfully.

Then, the city gate of Yangzhou opened wide, and hundreds of cavalry rushed out instantly. Several Chu soldiers who finally escaped were captured alive on the spot.

After some severe torture, the general came to Qin Mang and said respectfully: "General, after asking, they are indeed Chu troops!"

"What? Are they all Chu troops?"

Hearing this, Qin Mang suddenly frowned: "Impossible! How could the Chu army appear near Yangzhou City?"

"General, you are right! According to what this group of Chu soldiers said, this group of Chu soldiers were indeed dispersed by His Highness the Prince! The enemy general Xia Houying was shot and killed by His Highness the Prince a thousand meters away, and hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers were killed. Defeated, the Chu army suffered heavy casualties in the battle at Hanguguan, and countless Chu troops fell into flight!" the general said solemnly.

As soon as these words came out, General Qin Mang's expression suddenly changed: "The Chu army was completely defeated? And there were heavy casualties?"

"One hundred thousand people ambushed 30,000 people, but they were beaten to pieces. This...how is this possible?"
