Song Ziyu, who had escaped, did not dare to stay at all. While gathering the remaining troops, he quickly retreated towards the direction of Blade Fire City.
Song Ziyu didn't let out a long breath until he returned to Blade Fire City.
When he counted his soldiers and generals, Song Ziyu found that he had lost more than 800 people.
This was the biggest setback Song Ziyu had encountered since leading the army, but it was also a blessing among misfortunes.
For the loss of the entire army, this is the best acceptable result.
But the biggest impact of this disaster was that Song Ziyu lost more than two thousand guns and a large amount of ammunition... When the army retreated, they used to throw away their helmets to unload them. It's no exaggeration to describe it.
After this major setback, Song Ziyu held a massive symposium with the entire army.
At the meeting, Song Ziyu took the lead in making a review.
Song Ziyu reviewed his own underestimation of the enemy and his arrogance. It was precisely because of his irresponsibility that he led to this defeat.
After Song Ziyu, several main leaders in the military also reviewed one after another...Song Ziyu wanted to use this method to reshape the military's belief in war.
After the review of the entire army, Song Ziyu asked people to mobilize supplies, took out a large amount of reserved prey, and then gave the entire army extra meals.
Song Ziyu hopes to quickly regain morale.
…
In the next few days, there were several tentative confrontations between the enemy and ourselves, but the outcome was not great.
Zhou Shicheng stopped pretending and sent out all his elite soldiers to fight Song Ziyu vigorously. Until now, Song Ziyu finally had a full understanding of the enemy commander opposite him: This is a veteran!
He actually underestimated his opponent!
In order to make up for the lack of intelligence in this area, Song Ziyu once again found the surrendered officer and listened to the officer named He Renlong's report on Zhou Shicheng.
Later, Song Ziyu, who was still unfinished, recruited several prisoners who were willing to speak, and learned deeply about everything about Zhou Shicheng.
After summarizing all the information about Zhou Shicheng, Song Ziyu had some understanding of his opponent.
First of all, Zhou Shicheng is a famous general who grew up in an ordinary family.
This speaks volumes!
Miluo City State's certification of bloodline has reached a crazy level, and the solidification of classes is beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Being able to stand out from this environment is enough to show that it is not easy for Zhou Shicheng.
Secondly, there is a series of achievements and battle examples about Zhou Shicheng.
For this "ordinary man" who started out as a top soldier, his promotion along the way can be said to be accompanied by solid military exploits.
No one has any special favors for him!
He was able to break out of the siege entirely because of his careful mind and strong ability!
Song Ziyu analyzed the battle cases commanded by Zhou Shicheng one by one. From when he was a squad leader to commanding a battalion of soldiers and horses in battle, all the battle cases can reflect this person's character: calm, cold-blooded and full of calculation ability!
It can be seen from these battle cases that Zhou Shicheng is very good at calculation...
Considering the ambush he encountered, Song Ziyu had enough reasons to believe that his previous victories were entirely "designed" by Zhou Shicheng.
This guy needs to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly, so he will try his best to trap himself. For this reason, he will not hesitate to send people to kill him every day.
Even Song Ziyu had to admire such meticulous scheming and cold-blooded methods.
It is said that one general's success will lead to thousands of bones drying up, and it really makes sense.
…
??????????????????After analyzing the personal characteristics of Zhou Shicheng, Song Ziyu's response became more cautious. Song Ziyu tried hard to avoid being tricked by Zhou Shicheng in several encounters.
The two sides fought back and forth, but neither side took any advantage.
But overall, Song Ziyu's situation is getting more and more urgent, because his own supplies are starting to have problems.
From Longshan to Blade Fire City, the straight-line distance is more than 600 kilometers!
Although they established military depots and supply depots to reduce the difficulty of transporting supplies, such long supply lines still hindered the war situation.
As a last resort, Song Ziyu could only work hard to collect supplies from around Blade Fire City and Stone Fist City.
But this is just a drop in the bucket after all!
The poor place could not feed its large number of subordinates, and the war situation could not be opened smoothly, which led to the situation gradually deteriorating.
What made Song Ziyu feel even worse was that... Stone Fist City finally fell!
Disaster seems to be approaching step by step!
