Now the battlefield is in chaos. The Yi Army and the Star Army have been completely mixed together. The formation has little effect. What matters is the morale and combat power of both sides.
The wing troops in many areas had cut off contact with their superiors and could not get any instructions from Ruan Qiling. They had to let the generals in charge decide whether to rush forward or retreat based on the situation on the scene. As a result, some people rushed forward and some retreated.
In the chaos, the casualties of the Yi Army continued to increase, and finally there was no strategy at all.
Under the attack from the front and rear of the Star Army, the wing troops were like paper and fell down in the rain. Soon, the situation developed to an irreversible point, and Ruan Qiling was at his wits' end.
I thought that before the rain, they were sure of victory, but in the blink of an eye, they were defeated like a mountain. Even Ruan Qiling's eighth-level martial artist's will could not bear the sharp contrast. Sitting on the chariot dejectedly, Ruan Qiling knew that he had lost everything in this battle. .
All the troops of Yi State will be destroyed in his hands. Without an army, Yi State is not far from being destroyed. It is unimaginable that the country will be invaded by foreign enemies. From the king to the dawn of the people, all their expectations for him are shattered. In an instant , Ruan Qiling felt a heavy mountain pressing on him, so much that he was almost suffocated.
A deep sense of despair arose, and Ruan Qiling suddenly had the idea of committing suicide. Perhaps he could only apologize if he died, but there were still so many Yijun lives on the battlefield that he could not ignore.
"Withdraw troops." As if recovering from a huge torture, Ruan Qiling looked ten years older in the blink of an eye, with a few more wrinkles on his stern face for no reason.
It was originally a decisive battle, but now that he issued such an order, it meant that he no longer had any thoughts of victory. The surviving Yijun could escape as much as possible, and there was no need to even escort him to evacuate.
"Dang, Dang, Dang," a rapid sound of gongs sounded beside the chariot.
"The marshal has an order, the whole army retreats," immediately followed by some heralds running around to convey military orders.
A moment later, Ruan Qiling led a team to forcefully break through the Star Army's defense line and go straight to the rear. In the rain, the Yi Army's fleeing figures were extremely panicked, but behind them, there were thousands of Star Army soldiers who fell into madness.
Not long ago, Lan Xu had given a clear order not to let any of the Yijun go. In addition, many Star Army wanted to avenge their dead brothers. They would not let the Yijun escape easily. Wherever the Yijun escaped, they would hunt them down. Where to.
The Star Army's offensive became increasingly fierce. The hastily evacuating Wing Army completely lost their fighting spirit. They just wanted to break out of the Star Army's siege and fight for a way out. During the evacuation, the Wing Army had huge friction with the Star Army that blocked their retreat, resulting in the most casualties. It's still Yijun.
In the rain, countless killing scenes made Yijun's death even more miserable. The ground was now covered with red liquid, and the Star Army was fighting bloody battles.
Then, when most of the Yi army broke out of the encirclement, there were about 50,000 people left. Later, they were chased by the Star army for more than ten miles. In the end, there were still 20,000 to 30,000 people left who fled into the barren mountains and wild ridges.
When the Wing Army fled far away and the Star Army had no energy left to pursue them, the battle officially ended. Those who were still standing among the stopped Star Army were all confused. When they lost their enemy, they seemed to have lost their self-awareness.
"The Yi army was defeated."
"we won!"
…
It was not until some officers took the lead in shouting that the Yi Army was defeated that the Star Army slowly reacted. Then some people took the lead. From front to back, countless people in the long queue shouted: "The Yi Army has been defeated."
Amidst the cheers, the joyful atmosphere after victory quickly surrounded the Star Army. For those new troops participating in the war for the first time, this victory was hard-won, and they were happy to survive.
In today's decisive battle, more than 70,000 Star Army soldiers died, and the number of casualties in the Wing Army reached 120,000. Although the Star Army ultimately won, the cost was unacceptably high. This time against more than a dozen Ten thousand winged troops, but the number of Star Army casualties was higher than the last time in Windless City. Almost only one of the two people could survive, and the cruelty of war was clearly revealed.
After a while, the general above led the remaining soldiers back. The sight of corpses everywhere washed away the joy of many people. There were also some Star soldiers who kept vomiting all the way. They finally returned to the camp, but the situation on the battlefield was even worse. It was hard to look straight at it. Even the elite Star Army who had wandered between life and death dozens of times could not look straight at the bright red battlefield full of corpses.
There are still many wounded soldiers who are not dead yet lingering on the huge battlefield, either waiting to be rescued or waiting to die. When the general above brings the living soldiers back to the camp, Lan Xu orders people to take the wounded soldiers to the tents. , while sending people to the battlefield to search and rescue the surviving Star Army soldiers, Lan Xu’s order was to kill without mercy those wounded Wing Army soldiers who were still alive.
After these two things came the issue of counting the casualties and dealing with the battlefield. Because of the rain, the ground was muddy. For the time being, we could only separate the bodies of the two armies and wait for the weather to clear before dealing with them. Just after a big battle, What the Star Army needs most is rest. For this reason, Lan Xu arranges for those in better physical condition to handle current matters.
When the Star Army cleared the battlefield, many people found many burnt corpses that could not be identified at all. Some of the limbs were still connected together and were extremely difficult to handle. Some recruits vomited just looking at them, let alone removing them. The body was carried away.
Similar to the feelings of the new recruits, the veterans couldn't calm down after seeing such a tragic scene, but they were the ones who did these things anyway.
At the same time, Lan Xu, who had distributed various tasks, gathered with four generals in the Chinese army's tent and were discussing post-war matters.
In today's battle, the Yi army was almost completely damaged. Now the Yi country can be regarded as a country without an army. Any neighboring country can easily occupy the Yi country. In order to deal with the Yi army, the Star army lost a total of more than 100,000 troops. Lan Xu didn't want others to take advantage of him.
In addition, the army's food and grass are currently insufficient and need to be replenished as soon as possible. Attacking Yiguo is an important way for them to replenish their military supplies. Of course, since Beast Ridge Pass is still some distance away from Yiguo, the first thing they need to obtain now is the original Yijun camp. supplies. If Yijun couldn't take those things away, he would probably want to burn down the camp. Fortunately, the rain now bought them a certain amount of time. As long as they didn't go too late, everything in Yijun's camp would be gone. will be theirs.
After Lan Xu put forward the instruction to occupy the Yi Army camp as soon as possible, Fang Quyin and the other four generals had no objections. Next, Lan Xu discussed with the generals how to capture the Yi Army camp. The discussion continued for a long time, during which Zhang Da boldly The two seriously injured generals, Li Jianran and Li Jianran, both received medical treatment from the pharmacist while participating in the discussion.
After this battle, the temperaments of the commanders of each battalion were calmer than before. Lan Xu did not rush to reward them after the war, but instead came to discuss matters with them immediately. None of them had any objections. On the contrary, they thought Lan Xu's approach was very wise. , it is obvious that after this battle, the camp leaders and Lan Xu have made great progress.
Of course, not only they have made progress, but every star army participating in the battle today has made progress. This battle full of twists and turns has benefited countless star armies a lot.
After Lan Xu, Fang Quyin and others roughly discussed the plan to attack Yiguo, the generals outside had already compiled information on casualties. Counting the reinforcements, the total number of star troops exceeded 150,000, and now only 90,000 were left. No, there are still many wounded soldiers, the severity of the injuries vary. It is not known how many people will eventually die due to serious injuries. The actual losses of the Star Army may exceed 70,000 people.
Speaking of which, the Star Army suffered so many casualties mainly because of the Yi Army's air attack. The Yi Army's strategy of using the Wing Bird air attack had a great impact on the Star Army. But now that the matter has come to this, Lan Xu can only accept the facts and fight with the Yi Army. The battle between the two countries caused the Star Army to lose far more people than when they attacked Feng Kingdom. Lan Xu knew that he was not in good position to lead the army. In short, the losses of the Star Army were too great in the two battles before and after.
The only thing that makes him happy now is that after two duels with the Yi Army, they learned a lot, which will be of great use in fighting other armies in the future. Moreover, the new recruits have made great progress in their overall quality after undergoing a training. A battle is worth their training for months or even longer.
At the end of the meeting, Lan Xu directly asked the camp leaders to go back to rest, while he went outside to check the progress of the battlefield.
Time passed little by little, and it was not until night that the soldiers below barely separated the bodies of the Star Army and the Wing Army. When night fell, the ground was already very muddy. Although the rain stopped, the Star Army, who had been busy for a long time, had no energy to continue cleaning up the battlefield. , dinner is also prepared, and the Star Army will take turns eating.
A battle has just been won, and as usual, Lan Xu will reward the three armies tonight. Many horses that were killed or seriously injured have become dinner for the Star Army. Unfortunately, many people are not enjoying the meal, and some even have no appetite at all. , the cruel war left an indelible shadow on many people, and without a period of relief, those people's emotions could not return to normal.
