Yun Chaoyue became more and more excited when the good news came one after another.
Some controlled the city gates, some captured the treasury, some killed the bandits, and some bandits surrendered...
However, after waiting for half an hour, Yun Chao did not hear any news about the bandit leader Onezawa.
"Zhiyuan, why haven't we found the bandit leader of Onezawa yet? Is it..."
"Report——"
Before Yun Chao finished speaking, a messenger rushed into the government office: "Brother Chao, a group of thousands of bandits came out from the east city gate!"
"Um?"
Yun Chaoyi frowned: "What are the casualties of our army?"
Without waiting for the orderer to answer, Ma Ming rushed in like his butt was on fire:
"Brother Chao, that guy Erlunzai didn't guard the city gate and allowed Onozawa's bandits to escape!"
Yun Chao shook his head: "Forget it, just run away. Let the idiot quickly organize the troops to prevent other bandits from taking the opportunity to escape!"
Ma Ming was about to cry: "That guy Er Lengzi came up in a hurry. He didn't listen to anything he said and took his people out of the city to chase the bandits!"
"Nonsense!"
Yun Chao became anxious when he heard this: "What do I usually say, don't chase poor bandits? Have you forgotten? Ma Ming, hurry up and send someone to chase Erlunzi back and tell him that this is a military order, and anyone who disobeys it will be killed!"
"yes!"
Ma Ming was so frightened that he almost peed. Brother Chao was really anxious. If that kid Erlunzizi dared not to come back, he would be in serious trouble!
To be honest, Yun Chao never thought about trapping all the bandits in the city.
After all, there are not as many people as the bandits.
If the bandits were not unprepared, there would be no telling who would win and who would lose in a head-to-head confrontation with so many bandits with just a few thousand members of the Yun Family Army!
In order to rob the treasury, prevent bandits from gathering, and quell the chaos, a large number of manpower is needed.
Therefore, there are not many people used to guard the four city gates.
If a large number of bandits break through, it is not difficult to get out of the city. What Yun Chao really wants to intercept is the property looted by the bandits.
Therefore, Yun Chao does not blame Er Lunzi.
Unexpectedly, Erluzi, a trustworthy person, went to hunt down Onozawa's bandits in the dark. If he was ambushed by others, his losses would be huge!
Fortunately, the information transmission system created by Yun Chao was relatively efficient, so it did not lead to a big mistake. When the scouts caught up with Er Lunzi, the boy was still alive, and the soldiers he brought out were not damaged because they had not caught up with the bandits yet. .
…
Its daybreak.
The riots in the city have gradually subsided.
The fires in the city were also extinguished one by one.
Yun Chao didn't sleep all night, and his eyes were bloodshot.
According to preliminary statistics, 2,500 bandits were killed.
More than three thousand people surrendered.
There were eleven thousand bandits in total.
Excluding the nearly two thousand people Wang Ying lost before.
There should be less than four thousand bandits who escaped.
There may be some bandits who did not escape from the city and were hiding in some corner of the city, such as in an empty house or in the homes of ordinary people.
But it doesn't matter. Once it stabilizes, just clean it up slowly.
In addition, there were four to five hundred city foxes and rats who took advantage of the situation and were ruthlessly killed by the Yun family army.
Although the leader of the Onezawa bandits has not been found so far, Yun Chao is quite satisfied.
Even if the bandit leader of Ohnozawa escapes, at least half of him will be destroyed!
Let’s not talk about how low the morale of the Onozawa bandits will be after this defeat.
Just talking about the personal prestige of the bandit leader, it is bound to fall from the ground.
The prestige of a boss, especially a black boss, is very important.
Once they lose their prestige, perhaps chaos will break out among the bandits without the government sending troops to exterminate them!
"Instruct each battalion to perform their duties. We must not take it lightly. The Onozawa bandits are a living example. If anyone is careless and loses his belt, even if I, Yun Chao, can spare him, military law will never tolerate it!"
"yes!"
Without Yun Chao's reminder, all the key members of the Yun Family Army would have been extremely nervous.
The news that Erluzi failed to guard the city gate and allowed the Onoza bandits to escape from the city has spread.
That's not all. The mistakes Erluozi made are far more than that.
After the first wave of bandits rushed out, Erlunzi did not seize the time to reorganize his team and guard the city gate again. Instead, he got excited and chased the bandits, which resulted in several more waves of bandits taking the opportunity to escape.
The first wave of bandits escaped from the city. It can be said that there were many bandits and few fools, so they could not hold on.
However, for those bandits who escaped later, Erluzi would bear the main responsibility.
Until now, Er Lunzi is still kneeling outside the government office.
Not to mention Yun Chao, no one from the Yun family army came and went to pay attention to him.
I have never seen such a stupid person!
…
"Zhiyuan, have the battle damage statistics been calculated?"
Luo Zhiyuan looked sad and silently placed a form in front of Yun Chao.
Yun Chao picked up the form and looked at it, his expression immediately froze.
After a while, Yun Chao pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling so distressed.
Not only does my heart hurt, but my liver also hurts.
The Onezawa bandits suffered heavy losses, and the Yun Family Army suffered heavy losses as well.
Under the cover of night, fighting the bandits in Ohnozawa in street battles, even if they concentrated superior forces and caught the bandits off guard, casualties were still unavoidable.
According to statistics, the number of people killed alone exceeded two hundred.
Half of them are regular soldiers of the Yun family army, and the remaining half are trained militia warriors.
Yun Chao was so distressed that he bit his lip.
In addition to those who died, there were also those who were injured.
More than 100 were seriously injured and 300 to 400 were slightly injured.
Minor injuries are fine, as long as there is no infection, they can basically recover.
Not necessarily for serious injuries.
Not only is the infection rate high, but the disability rate is also high.
It is conservatively estimated that after this battle, at least two hundred Yun family troops died!
Coupled with the damage from the previous battle with Wang Ying, almost three hundred people were gone!
Three hundred Yun family troops, plus hundreds of local warriors, such a huge loss is the biggest loss since the establishment of the Yun family army, bar none!
Yun Chao's heart is not cold yet. There is still a big gap between him and those famous iron-blooded generals who are decisive and decisive in terms of Ci Bu's command of troops.
That's why Yun Chao feels distressed, so distressed.
In Yun Chao's eyes, every person who sacrificed his life, whether he was a regular member of the Yun family army or a militiaman, was not just a cold number in a table, but a living life.
To Yun Chao, they were subordinates who could be recruited with money and food.
However, for the families of those who died, each of them is an indispensable and important member of the family.
They are the sons of their parents, the husbands of their wives, the fathers of their children...
The passing of every life represents the breakup of a family, bringing endless sorrow to the whole family.
The poor bones by the Wuding River are like those in a spring boudoir's dream.
These sacrifices are the tears of so many people when they dream back at midnight, and the pain and longing of so many people that cannot be healed in their lifetime!
