"So, how many brothers are left?" Xue Rengui, riding a white horse, looked at Lian Po's face beside him, and couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness.
After successfully covering the retreat of Yue Lun, Xue Ying and others, Xue Rengui, who was following behind, still had time to observe the situation of the soldiers. Not to mention anything else, the scale alone has shrunk a lot compared to when it came. Moreover, the remaining people had injuries of various sizes.
Fortunately, there is a medical clinic now. Otherwise, if it had been before, even if these soldiers were tested, they might not be able to survive if they were injured.
"General, I just ordered someone to do a count. Of the 20,000 soldiers and horses brought out from Huguan, only 7,000 are left. Among them, even my Euphorbia warriors only have 900 left." Po's face also looked a bit ugly.
Speaking of which, when they went out to pursue the pursuit this time, they could say they had accomplished their goal, but if they said they failed, they felt like they had indeed failed.
This time they went out to pursue, but Gongsun's army had been captured by them. Even Gongsun Zan, a prince, was killed in this battle. Gongsun Zan's subordinates Shan Jing, Yan Gang, Gongsun Yang, Gongsun Ao, and Gongsun Shi All died in this battle.
After this battle, even if the opponent solved the food and grass problem, it would not pose a threat to Huguan.
However, this time, Yuan Chonghuan finally took advantage of them, which ultimately led to their heavy losses and forced them to retreat.
"This Yuan Chonghuan is difficult to deal with!" Xue Rengui said as if he was feeling something. There are no shortcomings in Xue Rengui's attributes. Although some things are abnormal, they are not unnoticed.
During this battle, Xue Rengui neglected some things, which led to the current result.
One is the strength of the Meishan Seven Monsters. The last time Ran Min and Yue Lun teamed up to fight Yuan Hong, they thought that after Yue Lun's breakthrough, they would be able to gain an upper hand in another fight. But never did he expect that Yuan Hong's strength had increased so much as if he had taken hormones, and Yue Lun was seriously injured instead.
After Yuan Hong, there was Jin Dasheng. Xue Rengui discovered that this person's strength was not inferior to him. This person alone has given Xue Rengui a huge headache.
It was precisely because the strength of the Meishan Seven Monsters exceeded Xue Rengui's expectation that Xue Rengui was completely entangled and unable to concentrate on commanding the army.
However, there is nothing that can be done about this. It is not that Xue Rengui is not capable enough. After all, Xue Rengui didn't have a system, so it was impossible to know that the other party had combo skills that would greatly increase the strength of the other seven people.
In addition, what Xue Rengui really ignored was the relationship between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan.
In history, after Xue Rengui surrendered to Goguryeo, he raised orphans, supported the elderly, controlled thieves, promoted and appointed Goguryeo talents, and commended and rewarded people with high moral character and excellent behavior. For a time, the people of Goguryeo were very happy and even forgot the pain of their country's subjugation. From this point of view, Xue Rengui's political level is not bad. But just because the level of politics is not bad does not mean that the level of political struggle is high.
Xue Rengui could imagine that Yuan Chonghuan and Gongsun Zan were at odds with each other, but he did not expect that when they were still facing a common enemy, they were both thinking about how to deal with each other.
It can be said that Gongsun Zan suffered the heaviest loss in this battle. Not only did his generals and soldiers suffer heavy casualties, but the Baima Yicon that he had worked so hard to establish only had a few hundred remnant soldiers who were conveniently taken away by Gongsun He who was passing by. Even You can also get in there yourself. It is even conceivable that the Gongsun family, which has suffered such heavy losses, may not be able to exist for a long time in the future.
The Jin army also had gains and losses. Although it also lost troops and generals, it at least achieved its goal. Huguan was no longer in danger, and Gongsun Zan was taken care of by the way. However, it was Yuan Shao who took advantage of Gongsun Zan.
As for Yuan Shaojun, he was the weakest among the three forces in Huguan, but this time he became the final winner. There were 20,000 troops when they came. Although they suffered many losses, after gathering Gongsun Zan's defeated army, not only was there not a single one missing, but there were seven or eight thousand more soldiers. The only losses were the two generals Zheng Lun and Chen Qi from the beginning. After all, when these two people join forces, they are faintly stronger than the peerless peak.
Yuan Shao's army suffered little loss, but the gains were quite substantial. After this battle, if Yuan Shao still cannot defeat the Gongsun family and unify Jizhou, he might as well just hang himself.
In addition to the gains of Yuan Shao's entire force, the rest is the personal gains of Yuan Chonghuan, the leader of this battle. Among the new functions released by the system after Yang Jian killed Wu Wenhua, a person with a low basic attribute who defeats a person with a high corresponding basic attribute twice in a single fight will be rewarded with a permanent increase in the corresponding attribute value by 1 point.
In this battle, Yuan Chonghuan defeated Xue Rengui and Lian Po, two generals who were above him in command, and he would naturally get the reward he deserved.
"Ding, Yuan Chonghuan defeated Xue Rengui and Lian Po, his basic command value will be permanently +1, and the current command value will rise to 99."
"Poof!" Just as Xue Rengui and Lian Po were counting the battle losses, Yue Lun on the other side suddenly spit out a large mouthful of blood.
"General Yue!" When Lian Po saw this situation, he immediately became anxious and shouted around, "Call a military doctor, call a military doctor quickly!"
But unlike Lian Po, Xue Rengui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Yue Lun vomiting blood. Compared to Lian Po, Xue Rengui, who is highly skilled in martial arts, knows better what is going on!
"General Lian, I'd like to express my concern for you. I'm fine!" After spitting out the blood, Yue Lun's face looked a little better, but he still said weakly, "General, don't worry, this is the person who was killed by Yuan Hong during the battle." The blood stasis caused by the shock will be fine if you spit it out!"
When retreating just now, in order to prevent the morale of the soldiers from being damaged again due to vomiting blood, Yue Lun still endured it forcefully even though he knew that it would be good for him to protrude the blood congestion early. It wasn't until I was temporarily out of danger that I couldn't bear it anymore.
"What's going on? Where are Jiang Xinben and Jiang Xinba?" Xue Rengui asked anxiously when he realized that there were a few familiar faces missing. At the same time, he couldn't help but have an ominous premonition deep in his heart.
Xue Rengui had been thinking about this defeat just now, and ordered people to count how many troops were left. It was not until he had a brief moment of leisure that he turned his attention to himself, and finally discovered something was wrong.
