After seeing the Black Mountain bandits retreating, Zang Hong could no longer hold on and sat down on the ground. Looking at the soldiers around him, they were all exhausted just like him, which showed the cruelty of this war.
After a while, Zang Hong struggled to get up, but his hands were still very sore. Go take a look at your losses and achievements, and then sum it up together when you see Wang Xiu. As for the battle below, the war is still going on.
After the results and casualties were tallied, the prefect Wang Xiu arrived in a hurry. He was waiting for Zang Hong to come downstairs, so he stopped him.
"General Zang, it's great that you are here. Tell me quickly. What is the situation with the bandits now, and what are the losses of our army?"
Zang Hong turned around and saw Wang Xiuye looking tired and pale. He punched him and reported.
"Master Taishou, you know this. Although our Bohai sergeants are well-trained and very brave, our number is too small after all."
Seeing Wang Xiu nodding his head, he looked in agreement.
Zang Hong continued, "Although they have the advantage of the city's height, they still lost a lot of troops. Especially today's siege was very intensive. Some of the defenders were already exhausted. From what I can see, they have been afraid of the enemy for the past few days." We can no longer fight."
After hearing Zang Hong's report, Wang Xiu frowned, not wanting to suffer such a serious loss.
He frowned and confirmed, "Please count, how many people are still available to fight again?".
After hearing Wang Xiu's question, Zang Hong made a mental calculation, opened his mouth and said, "There are about 1,300 people who can continue to fight, but they must be properly repaired."
Hearing Zang Hong's answer, Wang Xiu frowned even more. On this day, he had lost so much combat effectiveness, and the subsequent battle would be difficult.
Seeing the prefect, he frowned and didn't speak for a long time. Zang Hong suddenly knew that the situation was not good, so he confirmed it.
"Sir, the situation in other city gates is not optimistic as well."
Wang Xiu sighed and said, "General Zang, you don't know that the south gate is still in good condition. Although Yu Du did not visit the other gates in person, there were still quite a few of them. The soldiers guarding the city had never seen such a battle. They were all in a hurry and at a loss. Fortunately, they knew how to resist, but after this battle, they also lost a lot of troops. In addition to the soldiers who can fight at the south gate, I still have less than 5,000 people in Bohai to continue. Fighting".
Hearing the explanation from the prefect, Zang Hong was shocked. Although he had been mentally prepared, he did not expect the situation to be so serious.
Almost a thousand people were lost, and almost a thousand people lost their combat effectiveness. This reduced the number to almost one-third.
Although it caused the loss of almost 20,000 troops of the Montenegrin Army, it can be said to be a complete victory. But there are hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, and these are just a drop in the bucket. There is still a fierce battle to be fought below.
Thinking of this, Zang Hong reminded, "Sir, the situation is not optimistic. It will take time for the lord's reinforcements to arrive here. I see that the enemy is very determined and may have a trick, so I have to guard against it."
Wang Xiushen agreed, thought for a moment and suggested, "General Zang, go to the four gates to select soldiers who can fight, and be prepared for emergencies. I will go to the city, mobilize the people of Bohai to defend the city together, and replace the tired soldiers to prevent Unexpected. Time is urgent, so act as soon as possible."
After saying that, without waiting for Zang Hong to reply, he went straight to the city to mobilize the people.
Zang Hong looked at his back and fisted, indicating that he accepted the order and went to choose a general who could fight. He had always had a hunch that the Montenegrin Army would definitely make a big move tonight, but he hoped it wasn't true.
Yu Du led a group of dejected defeated soldiers and retreated to his tent in despair.
Seeing the Montenegrin Army in such a mess and returning without success, he was so angry that he broke several of his beloved antiques.
While he was angry, a confidant suddenly walked in. He followed Yu Du's arrangement to count today's casualties. Now that he had finished counting, he came over to report.
Seeing that the commander-in-chief was angry, he didn't dare to report it, for fear of irritating him again and getting himself into trouble.
After Yu Du vented his anger for a long time, he felt a little calmer. When he saw his anxious look, he shouted.
"Why are you whining and whining? Tell me the result quickly."
Hearing the commander's loud shout, the little guy reacted and reported carefully.
"Reporting to the commander, I did a little inventory. We still have 70,000 troops, and the whereabouts of the others are unknown."
What, there are only 70,000 horses left, and the 30,000 horses are either dead or have escaped, and their whereabouts are unknown.
Hearing this, Yu Du's anger suddenly reached full strength, and his mood, which had improved a bit, suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy.
He couldn't help it anymore, so he took out his machete and slashed at the man who was reporting the situation. The little guy was chopped into pieces before he even had time to beg for mercy.
After venting for a long time, Yu Du stopped. He was probably tired, so he asked his men to clean up the place, then he opened the tent and walked out.
Outside the camp, the sky had already darkened. The moonlight was not very bright tonight, and all the lights in the camp were lit.
Yu Du watched as he walked and saw Black Mountain bandits sitting in twos and threes around the bonfire, talking among themselves.
Yu Du was curious, so he sneaked over to see what they were talking about.
A little guy was lying on the ground and complained, "We shouldn't have come to attack Bohai. Look how many people died today. We were so exhausted that we haven't recovered yet."
Following his instructions, another minion, holding on to the wall, still frightened, said, "That's right, you are still in good condition. Go to the south gate and take a look. There are still burnt corpses on the ground. That scene." It’s really terrible. If we hadn’t rushed in slowly, we would be a corpse now.”
"Yes, attacking the city is really strenuous and tiring, but it can't compare to the ease with which we plundered on the road."
"Yes, it's easy to die. It feels like we are just cannon fodder. It's really heartbreaking."
"Yes, you haven't seen the commander-in-chief's expression today. It's really scary."
"Yes, the most hateful thing is the Supervisory Team. They all belong to their own brothers, but they turn their backs and disown each other. They drive us to death because they really think we are not human beings."
"Yes, that's right!"
All kinds of complaints and complaints came one after another, and the entire military camp was instantly filled.
This made everyone whisper to each other and began to complain, and the military morale was very unstable.
When Yu Du saw this, he couldn't bear it, so he ran out at that time, hoping to put an end to this group of men who were deceiving the public with their monstrous words.
Suddenly, something brightened in my heart. I didn't know what I thought of, so I stopped. After thinking for a while, I came up with a poisonous plan.
