Nie Chen took the three prisoners he had captured and threw them all onto the carriage. Twenty people were crowded into two carriages, and gold and silver treasures were packed in the other dozen carriages.
Nie Chen led the cavalry army, pulling prisoners and trophies, and galloped towards the south.
Because everyone is a cavalry, the speed of the scouts is not necessarily that fast, so they act as scouts themselves to observe the enemy's situation.
The horses of Nie Chen and other generals were all good horses and could run fast. They rushed far in front of the army and observed the enemy's movements.
Twenty miles away from the county seat, they saw that the fleeing enemy troops had gradually begun to gather together. Some people were setting up camp, but the camp was still in chaos.
The defeated enemy troops kept returning to the camp. Anyway, it was chaos, very chaotic.
At this time, Liang Peng did not take advantage of their chaos to attack, presumably because the enemy troops outside the city had not been cleared yet, and it was getting dark soon, so it was not good to fight at night.
Although the enemy army was defeated, the main force was still there, at least 200,000 strong, which should not be underestimated.
Nie Chen asked Lin Guang and Yue Dongwen to lead the cavalry team to bypass the enemy's camp and enter the city from the west gate.
And he took the three brothers of the Zhou family and others, and got closer to the enemy, so he could see clearly.
It turned out that Queding Quyang was leading more than 10,000 cavalry in front of their main camp, constantly cruising and killing the Feng army who came to pursue them.
In this case, Liang Peng would naturally not let the army attack the camp. After all, not only the barbarians were in chaos, but the wind army was also in chaos.
Ning Wushuang's army was cleaning the battlefield and was not under Liang Peng's control. The remaining armies were scattered outside the cities to clear out the enemy troops, and there were people everywhere.
At this time, Liang Peng had no cavalry, no military formations, and no baggage. He was unable to counterattack the enemy. He even had to worry about the enemy reorganizing their forces and attacking again.
It's getting dark now anyway, so it's better to call a truce, rest, and fight again when you're ready.
Nie Chen's cavalry team bypassed the enemy camp and returned directly to the city from the west gate.
After returning to the city, Nie Chen went straight to the county government office.
He ordered all the prisoners including Queding Tangwu and others to be imprisoned first, and then led everyone towards the lobby.
At this time, the lights were brightly lit in the lobby. Zhou Ping, Ouyang Ming, Weng Qiuchan, Wang Hao, Liang Peng and others were all there. Nie Chen led everyone in, and now all the top leaders of the Weihu Army gathered together.
"Wang Hao, hahaha, come here and let me see you!"
After Nie Chen came in, he went straight to Wang Hao. He and Wang Hao hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Finally, I will pay my respects to my lord!"
Wang Hao immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted with his palms clasped.
"Get up, get up, we don't have so many rules here."
Nie Chen helped Wang Hao up and said with a smile,
"Thank you for your hard work. This time we accomplished great feats. With 20,000 people, we delayed the enemy's army of 300,000. It took us three full days to wait until our army came back and defeated the enemy in one fell swoop.
This time, you, Wang Shuai, will be rewarded heavily! "
Wang Hao smiled and said,
"The general doesn't dare to take credit, he just did his duty. But Mr. and Mrs. Zhou have been helping, and General Zhou An also single-handedly defeated the enemy once."
"Everyone is rewarded, hahaha, and Madam is also rewarded!"
"Tch, who cares about your reward? Remember my merits carefully. If you dare to be sorry for me in the future, I will use my merits to settle the account with you!"
Weng Qiuchan rolled her eyes at him and punched his shoulder armor.
"hiss……"
Nie Chen's face suddenly turned pale with pain, and he was sweating profusely. The punch just hit his wound.
"what happened to you?"
Weng Qiuchan immediately became nervous.
"Madam, the master is injured."
Lin Guang said quickly.
Everyone helped Nie Chen take off his armor again.
After Nie Chen was bandaged, he put on the armor again. After all, he might encounter enemy troops in the future, so he couldn't do it without armor.
Moreover, Nie Chen did not want to show his weak state in front of too many soldiers.
After removing the armor, everyone frowned when they looked at the gauze bandaged on Nie Chen's shoulders and stomach, which was soaked in blood.
"Lord, please quickly ask the military medical officer to bandage you properly."
Ouyang Ming said immediately.
"No problem, no problem. My little injury is nothing. There are many injured brothers, so I won't waste resources and manpower."
Nie Chen sat on the main chair, and Weng Qiuchan sat next to him, looked at him distressedly, and said,
"Tell me about you. You are a dignified county guard with so many fierce soldiers. Do you need to charge? You are the lord. You have your mission and your own things to do. You have taken away other people's things. What do you want others to do?
Even though your martial arts skills are so low, you still have to go to the battlefield and have to be protected by others. Don't rush forward in the future. "
Ma Niuqiu's eyes lit up and he looked at Lin Guang and Yue Dongwen and raised his eyebrows.
It means, you see, I am right, the master is very good and fun-loving, even the wife said so.
Listening to Weng Qiuchan's complaining and caring words, Nie Chen chuckled, took her little hand and patted it.
Weng Qiuchan's complaints are not over yet.
"And Ning Wushuang, just like you, as the coach, he had to charge personally, and he was seriously injured.
Look at Liang Peng again. He knows his own importance and never charges. You can learn from others. "
"Ning Wushuang was injured?"
Nie Chen said in surprise,
"What's going on? Is it serious?"
"He has been rescued, but he hasn't woken up yet. He was seriously injured. He is resting in the backyard now."
"I'll go over and take a look."
As Nie Chen spoke, he stood up and walked out.
Ouyang Ming said quickly,
"Master, don't be anxious. People can't escape here. Let's discuss military affairs first. Let's each talk about the current military situation."
Liang Peng nodded and said,
"At present, all the enemy troops around the county have been cleared, and most of them have fled. We have no cavalry, so it is difficult to chase them down. However, we have killed a lot of enemies on the main battlefield and the other three walls.
Our army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, most of which were killed by Ning Wushuang who fought against the cavalry. The enemy suffered more than 80,000 casualties, and an estimated 90,000 were killed. It was considered a complete victory.
Now the army has regrouped, and a few people have entered the city. The main force is camped outside the county town, leaning against the city wall and on the defensive. The generals of each battalion are arranging their troops and horses to rest, so that they can fight tomorrow and take the initiative. "
Ouyang Ming nodded and said,
"Lord, where are you? What's the result of the battle?"
"My side also achieved a great victory. Zhou An captured Queding Tangwu. We killed most of Queding and captured many of Queding Tangwu's children alive, as well as millions of gold and silver treasures."
Hearing this, Ouyang Ming smiled and said,
"Okay, okay, the big plan can come true, the great plan can come true, my lord, this battle will determine the outcome!"
