At the same time, the cavalry did not attack the shield soldiers of the wing army from the rear. They also attacked the shield soldiers from the side. As if they discovered the weaknesses of the shield soldiers, the originally indestructible shield soldiers of the wing army were directly disrupted. The star army continued to shoot with bows and arrows and throw spears from the side, and the shield soldiers of the wing army became even more chaotic in their panic.
When the Star Army cavalry rushed into the formation of the shield soldiers, the inconvenient wing army shield soldiers suffered a direct massacre. It didn't take long after that, the huge wing army camp was completely torn apart by the star army. A man in black armor The Yijun fell to the ground, and the scene was more terrifying than ever.
"The cavalry is really awesome. I will definitely join the cavalry camp in the future."
"It's so majestic, those wing soldiers were beaten to the point where they were unable to fight back!"
"If they dare to provoke us, they will die as they deserve."
"Look, some enemy troops have surrendered!"
…
On the city tower, both the archers and the infantry were filled with excitement after seeing their own cavalry showing off their might and killing the Yi army, and they all had the idea of joining the cavalry camp.
The sarcasm, publicity and various laughter undoubtedly showed that the Star Army had adapted to this extreme killing. Standing in the middle of the crowd, Lu Yunyou was filled with emotion.
In the past, he was mentally disturbed because he had killed too many bandits, but now when he saw hundreds of Yijun falling down, his mood did not fluctuate much, especially when the Xingjun next to him even started laughing. He did not show any sympathy for the tragic death of Yijun.
The cavalry on the battlefield were even more ferocious. Even though the enemy had surrendered, they were still killed mercilessly. There was no mercy at all. Everyone was rushing towards killing and victory. Think about the fear those people had to face before they died. Lu Yunyou could no longer face the cruelty of war.
It wasn't until the figures of the soldiers on both sides gradually blurred in his sight that Lu Yunyou's mood gradually calmed down.
Before the cavalry came back, Lan Xu, who was stationed at the city gate, issued several military orders directly. The entire area within a five-mile radius of the city gate was under martial law. No idlers were allowed to come even half a step closer, otherwise they would be killed on the spot. For this reason, Lan Xu also deliberately set out from the scene. Thousands of soldiers in good condition were selected from some soldiers to take charge of this matter, and those soldiers were also equipped with hundreds of thousand-jin scale feathers.
At the same time, Lan Xu gathered all the injured soldiers together and queued up for treatment according to the severity of their injuries. Then, Lan Xu arranged for 10,000 star troops who were still capable of fighting to guard outside the city to prevent the Yi army from coming back. Finally, he Arrange some personnel to select wounded horses from the battlefield and slaughter them. Today he wants to reward the three armies.
As for cleaning up the battlefield, it was also covered by military orders. Since the Star Army was already familiar with the situation after the victory, Lan Xu's military orders were not difficult to implement. After Zhang DaDa and Zhao Xianzhi returned with their cavalry, Lan Xu asked some soldiers to Go to the designated place to rest, while arranging several generals to take charge of counting the casualties.
Due to the previous attacks by the Yi Army, the casualties of the Star Army today were not small, but this battle can still be regarded as a complete victory. After all, the Yi Army suffered more casualties. In any case, Lan Xu needs to know the accurate casualties. number.
After arranging everything, Lan Xu and several generals returned to the Chinese army's tent to discuss post-war matters. The first thing was to spread the news of victory to Pofeng City to keep the situation there stable. The second thing was , all the generals congratulated Lan Xu together.
Today's battle has become Lan Xu's battle to become commander-in-chief. Those generals all know that when the news of the great victory reaches Kyoto, the Star Kingdom royal family will definitely grant Lan Xu the title as soon as possible, and Lan Xu's military rank will change from general to general. Marshals, and they will also receive corresponding rewards.
Judging from the military exploits, the performance of the cavalry commander Zhang Budao was particularly outstanding, so after congratulating Lan Xu, the generals turned to congratulate those generals who had worked hard and made great achievements.
"General Zhang is extremely brave and has killed countless enemies. The person who gained the greatest military merit in this battle must be General Zhang." Based on the number of enemy soldiers killed by the cavalry, those generals directly pushed the main military merit to the cavalry camp.
"General Zhang has one man to guard the pass, and ten thousand men cannot open it. After today's battle, General Zhang's reputation will spread thousands of miles," then Fang Quyin and the other three generals complimented Zhang's boldness very flatteringly.
In fact, what they said was not wrong. Although he entered the war late, Zhang DaDa's contribution in terms of combat achievements was indeed the greatest. Since Zhang DaDa led his cavalry against the Yi Army, he never allowed the enemy to break through the defense line and was almost wiped out. The entire cavalry camp of the Yi Army ensured that the infantry and shield soldiers of the Yi Army could not enter the city, and at the same time ensured the safety of the rear of the star troops on both sides of the city defense. Later, they even killed the Yi Army to the point of despair. No other general could match this feat. .
"You generals have given you too much praise. Today's victory over Yijun is all due to our joint efforts, not Zhang's alone." Faced with the praises of many colleagues, Zhang, who has a down-to-earth personality, responded boldly and humbly, even though he knew that in today's battle, he would The credit was great, but he didn't think other generals were worse than him.
"Today's battle, I have thanked all the generals. Lan must tell the truth to the court, so that the king can commend you on your merits." Seeing the generals so happy, Lan Xu was in a good mood.
"Thank you, General." Since they already regarded Lan Xu as the future marshal in their hearts, after Lan Xu said that, several generals quickly thanked him.
Next, Lan Xu briefly discussed some matters with the five people and then asked them to leave. After the five people left, Lan Xu hurriedly wrote two letters to fulfill his promise to the generals.
The letter sent to Broken Wind City only needed to state the victory or defeat, while the letter sent to Star City needed to be more specific. Before sending the letter, Lan Xu had to confirm the casualties on both sides.
At the same time, at the city gate, most of the faces of the Star Army were tired and happy. The decisive battle between the two sides lasted for nearly two hours, which exhausted them physically and mentally. Therefore, after winning, this hard-won The victory was even more gratifying. Even though some Star Troopers were seriously injured, they still smiled when receiving treatment.
When the Yi army attacked with bows and arrows, Lu Yunyou and a few of his subordinates were lucky enough that no one was hit. Later, after the war ended, the seven of them supported each other and walked down the long slope. After finding an open space, they sat back to back to rest. Due to too much physical exertion, the seven people did not want to move after sitting down.
After this battle, the relationship between Lu Yunyou and the six subordinates has been greatly shortened. The six men have regarded Lu Yunyou as their savior, and each of them has deep respect and gratitude for Lu Yunyou.
Just like the Gao Li brothers back then, they could no longer remember how many times Lu Yunyou had saved them before. Whenever they remembered that Lu Yunyou had always rescued them in time when they were in danger, everyone was extremely grateful to Lu Yunyou.
"Brother Lu, I will never forget the life-saving grace I received today."
"Master Shichang, from today on, I, Liu Dagang, am willing to work for you."
…
Although they were too tired to move, after sitting down, the six people looked at the corpses on the ground and still tried their best to say thank you to Lu Yunyou.
"You're welcome." After sharing weal and woe, Lu Yunyou had already regarded the six subordinates who were similar in age to him as friends. Although the identities and backgrounds of those six people were completely incomparable with Fang Qing and others, in his heart, the six men were just like him. He was a man of flesh and blood, and he felt sad for the four dead subordinates.
The war was too cruel, and Lu Yunyou knew that he had tried his best, but now he couldn't even remember how those people died in the battle, just because the situation was too chaotic at the time.
After a while of emotion, Lu Yunyou thought of Ni Youbin. He remembered seeing Ni Youbin some time ago, but later because the fight was too intense, he ignored Ni Youbin's existence. Now that he could not confirm Ni Youbin's life or death, he was a little worried.
As for Fang Qingnai, a member of the cavalry camp, recalling the scene of the cavalry massacring the Yi army, Lu Yunyou was not worried about Fang Qing's safety. He was also not worried about Jun Wucheng, only worried about Ling Yun. There were many archers like him who climbed the city to fight. He was very worried. Worried about something happening to Ling Yun.
Time passed little by little. When Lu Yunyou fell asleep in worry and opened his eyes again, it was already sunset.
Under the golden afterglow, the long slope under the city wall was littered with corpses. The various weapons inserted into the corpses looked particularly dark under the afterglow of the setting sun, outlining a horrific scene.
As the sky became darker and darker, a depressing feeling that could not be described in words slowly grew in Lu Yunyou's heart, gradually getting stronger until it affected the flow of Qi and blood in Lu Yunyou's body.
With the blood boiling, Lu Yunyou spit out a mouthful of blood with a "puff" sound. Immediately afterwards, there was only a kind of sadness left in his heart. The scene in the city was too bleak, with countless cold corpses lying there, making it difficult for him to stand straight. Looking back at the various scenes during the fierce battle, Lu Yunyou's mind was instantly hit by an indescribable huge impact, as if there was a purgatory on earth before his eyes.
Not daring to stare at those cruel scenes for a long time, Lu Yunyou quickly looked away from the slope. In the evening breeze, the star country flag swayed at an angle, giving people a sense of desolation for no reason. The initial joy Afterwards, the area around the city gate has now become quiet. Many star troops are walking back and forth on the battlefield, busy cleaning up the battlefield, but few people speak.
