In the afternoon, the battlefield had already been cleared. When Li Yuan, who was full of energy after sleeping for a few hours, walked out of the commander's tent to inspect, the soldiers had already cleaned up the inside and outside of the camp. After Luo Erhu led the soldiers to fill the pit outside the camp, he returned to the camp and greeted the other soldiers without stopping, transporting piles of weapons and armor back from the battlefield.
In the open space of the camp, armor and weapons were piled up like mountains, and countless materials were seized in this battle. First update @ Due to the haste of the Han army's evacuation, even the flags of the Chinese army were left behind. At this time, chariots and horses were continuously pulling towards the camp. Li Yuan looked at this scene and smiled from ear to ear. .
Luo Erhu came in a hurry, with a gray face but high spirits. He came to report to Li Yuan the captured materials and the battle report on the casualties on both sides.
"Great Governor, what a great victory!" Luo Erhu cupped his hands and said with a smile.
Li Yuan chuckled and replied: "Er Hu, thank you for your hard work! I heard that you worked tirelessly to bury the corpse in the capital——"
Before he finished speaking, Luo Erhu spread his hands and said with a smile: "Hey! There are too many corpses. I don't know how long it will take to burn them... It would be clean if they were simply buried! Although those Han soldiers are enemies, they are also Everyone is doing something, right, everyone is his master, right? The one who died in the battle was a man. I have always admired heroes. Wouldn't it be better to bury him than to burn him?..."
Li Yuan was speechless for a while, and wanted to say something at this moment: "So you also built a monument for them?" However, he changed his mind and just nodded and smiled: "Well, I don't see that we two tigers are also kind people."
Luo Erhu didn't seem to understand what it meant, and then he scratched his head and smiled honestly, and raised the battle report in his hand: "These are the supplies list after cleaning the battlefield. I will read it to the Governor."
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Read it."
Luo Erhu raised his head and followed Li Yuan, chanting as he walked: "In this battle, we captured 10,723 weapons, 6,915 sets of armor, and 2,620 bows. Three..."
Li Yuan wanted to laugh when he heard this. Luo Erhu was also serious and responsible. This number was too precise. The statistics of these materials were all accurate to the nearest digit. It seemed that they had been counted one by one, so they didn't know how much it cost. A soldier's eyesight...
"There were 9,051 enemy corpses and 503 wounded and captured enemy troops. This means that a total of 9,554 enemy troops were wiped out in this battle. Our army lost 320 in this battle. Seven, 631 wounded. We were able to exchange such few casualties for such heavy casualties from the opponent, and also captured so many weapons and armor. This battle was truly a great victory! ... ..”
Luo Erhu followed behind him and reported these figures without forgetting to admire them.
Li Yuan laughed loudly and said: "This is a great victory, and I am very satisfied."
Luo Erhu suddenly lowered his head and thought for a while, and then whispered: "Brother, the few soldiers who joined the army just now said that they would like to ask you whether you should write a victory report to report to the court, so that His Majesty will be happy..."
Li Yuan's face darkened, he thought for a moment and waved his hand, "Don't be anxious, wait until the war is over."
Luo Erhu was stunned and said: "Brother, are you really going to report it to the police? In my opinion, based on what Prince Zheng did in Langzhou, why should eldest brother take the imperial court seriously..."
"Shut up!" Li Yuan raised his head violently, and then said seriously: "Don't say such words casually in front of others these days, do you understand?"
Luo Erhu was stunned, and then he muttered unconvincedly: "As the saying goes, repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred! Brother, now we need to have soldiers and countless money and food in our hands, why do we have to endure those birdish things... ..Anyway, brother, I just don’t want you—”
Li Yuan understood in his heart, raised his hand and stopped with a smile: "Erhu, I understand what you mean. Some things are more complicated, and I can't speak frankly. You will know what's going on by then... Now the war is going on It’s not over yet. You’ve been working hard all night, so go and rest for a while!
I'll walk around the camp and leave the storage of supplies to the logistics staff. Don't fall down from exhaustion, otherwise you won't be able to follow me south to attack Guiguan..."
"Attack Guiguan?" Luo Erhu was a little confused, and then his eyes flashed and he looked extremely excited. As for that sensitive topic, since Li Yuan refused to tell the reason now, he was not too busy to ask, so he happily handed over and left, handing over Then I went to rest.
…
The Han army camp among the high mountains, yesterday. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 220 Suspicion
The Han soldiers who retreated hastily could not sleep all night. Most of them were exhausted and their faces were pale. After fighting for a long time, so many people died, and suffered so many shocks, and then drove several sections of mountain roads in embarrassment, even a hard-working man could not bear this torture. _o_m
But even if they returned to their home camp, they did not dare to relax even a little bit. Although they had left that terrible battlefield and felt a little more at ease, even though they were tired to death, they still dragged their legs like lead, moved mechanically, and took turns guarding in the camp mechanically, for fear of being afraid of the Tang army. Take advantage of the victory and launch an attack at any time.
No one spoke, except for heavy breathing and the low neighing of a few war horses, which was the sound of thick footsteps stepping on the rocks. The large number of Han soldiers were like a large group of walking corpses, with sorrow and fear in their hearts.
After nightfall, the screams of soldiers and the sound of rolling rocks suddenly came from the camp, and there was a commotion in the camp.
Xie Gui, who was holding his chin in deep thought in the handsome tent, dozed off because he couldn't hold his eyelids open, suddenly woke up, stared with blood-red eyes and shouted: "What's going on, what happened?"
The guards outside the tent hurriedly went to check, and not long after that they sped back to report: "Capital, a few of our sergeants accidentally slipped down the mountain path and fell into the woods at the bottom..."
Xie Gui breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be just an accident. He somehow became more and more suspicious.
At some point, the unlucky-looking deputy general came to Xie Gui's side. After bowing his hands in greeting, he said in a deep voice: "Du Tong, our brothers are really tired. It's not an option to keep them on patrol. If they don't have enough energy, the Tang army will be defeated." The attack is still unstoppable... At the end of the day, let's let the brothers rest. The Tang army also experienced battles during the day, and they are not made of iron. They must also rest, right?"
Xie Gui frowned, thought for a while, closed his eyes and said, "Well, we really need to let the brothers have a rest! I originally planned to hold on until dawn, but now I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on, and the soldiers are all wilting."
"Yes, they are all wilted!" The deputy general nodded, then cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry too much, sir. Tonight the Chinese army camp will be guarded by the general and his personal guards. You should rest as soon as possible!"
Xie Gui's brows were always furrowed, but he still couldn't help but yawned, then waved his hands and sighed: "Oh, you will order all the soldiers in the army to have a good night's rest..."
The deputy general bowed his hands and replied: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!".
