on the hills.
When Wang Jing closed his eyes and sensed his own dragon spirit, his whole body naturally exuded a majesty like a divine dragon. The civil servants and guards who were relatively close could not help but take two or three steps back.
With this momentum, they couldn't even get close. Once they came forward, their hearts began to tremble rapidly and they instinctively stopped.
In the void on the surface of the world.
The energy representing the Huai Army was so strong that it even turned into a pillar of light, faintly connecting to the dark starry sky above the void.
However, all the monarchs of the many forces who descended on it could detect the subtle changes in the void on the surface.
Being able to discover the Huai army occupying the Jianghuai area is a sign of success.
Such a situation where Xi Chu completely collapsed after a single defeat would never happen in the Huai Army.
Wang Jing opened his eyes.
I feel that my mental strength and physical body have been strengthened. As long as I think about it, the sky can resound with thunder and strong winds can surge. The distance that spiritual thoughts can sense has also increased significantly.
Within the range of telepathy.
Wang Jing could use the innate magic he had dug out of his body to control the thunder to kill his enemies with just one finger. This ability is exactly the same as the Heavenly Thunder method mastered by ninth-level Taoists.
However, to cast a spell, a ninth-level Taoist needs to activate the power of heaven and earth, but Wang Jing does not need to go through such trouble.
After a military general reaches the ninth level, he is like a bloodline sorcerer, tapping into the power of his body and mastering various innate magic. Most military generals choose to blend the magic with their own aura to create ultimate attacks. tricks.
For example, Xiang Yu's Seven Purple Lightning Strikes are a typical example.
"Kings!"
The civil servants accompanying the army have arrived here, holding books in their hands.
The civil servants who accompanied the army did not stop this time. Sihong's government and military affairs still had a lot to finish, so he needed to stay in Sihong to take charge.
The military advisor accompanying the army and the person in charge of the credit book was Xie Hui, the person responsible for the transportation of grain and grass and the dispatch of army supplies was Han Xizai, and the person responsible for taking over the civil affairs of the captured city was Shen Yue...
The three of them came with Chen Gong and a group of civil servants.
Wang Jing glanced at them and waved his hand, and the guards immediately set up seats in front.
"Sit down and talk!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xie Hui, Han Xizai and others bowed and then sat down in two rows. Chen Gong, as the representative of the Pizhou Army, also saluted Wang Jing and took his seat.
"Has the casualty count been completed?"
Wang Jing asked.
After a war, no matter whether it is victory or defeat, some soldiers and horses will be lost more or less. This time, in order to deal with the nearly 400,000 troops of the Western Chu Army, the Huai Army lost a lot of soldiers.
Sure enough, Xie Hui took out the book and began to report.
"Your Majesty, the scale of this battle is not small, and time is limited. I can only make approximate calculations! Our left army suffered 6,700 casualties, including more than 3,700 killed in battle, and the right army suffered 5,800 casualties. Hundreds of people, including more than 2,900 killed in battle..."
"In addition, 50,000 cavalry faced off against the elite cavalry of Western Chu, and nearly 10,000 were killed in the battle. Their vitality has been damaged, and it will be difficult to recover if they don't rest!"
"And the Chinese army... suffered more than 30,000 casualties, and 21,000 were killed in battle. Most of them were killed by cavalry attacks!"
"Also...in this battle, General Mu Chun was killed, Zhou Fengshu and Zhang Guihou were seriously injured, seven guerrilla generals were killed, sixteen people from a thousand households were killed, and more than five hundred officers from a thousand households or less were killed. people!"
Every number that came out of Xie Hui's mouth was bloody.
According to a rough calculation, the Huai army suffered more than 50,000 casualties this time, which was almost one-eighth of the 400,000-strong army. More than 30,000 people died in the battle.
Even Wang Jing couldn't help but sigh at this kind of loss.
However, at the cost of more than 30,000 killed and about 50,000 total casualties, the 400,000-strong army of Western Chu was completely wiped out. This price was well worth it!
"at last……"
Xie Hui glanced at Wang Jing and said, "General Mai Tiezhang was severely injured by Xiang Zhuang and died of his injuries!"
When Wang Jing heard this, he stood up immediately, "Mai Tiezhang was killed in battle?"
"Yes, General Mai Tiezhang was severely injured by Xiang Zhuang's gathered power of the Overlord's Iron Cavalry, and died of serious injuries on the battlefield..."
Xie Hui lowered his head, and Han Xizai also had a hint of sadness on his face.
"I didn't expect that one of my generals would lose in this battle..."
Wang Jing sighed, and after a long time, he said: "I remember that Mai Tiezhang had married a wife and had a son. In this battle, General Mai was the vanguard and brave. He killed generals and attacked the city. He had outstanding achievements. He passed on King Gu's order and pursued him. Conferred the title of Marquis of Xihe to Mai Tiezhang, and granted him ten thousand acres of land..."
"Commander Mu Chun, posthumously awarded the title of champion general, and granted a thousand acres of farmland..."
"For the rest of the generals and soldiers who died in battle, as well as those who have made meritorious service, please discuss the compensation and rewards and make a list!"
After the war, what concerned the generals and soldiers the most was naturally pensions and rewards.
Wang Jing will naturally not be stingy on these two points.
In peacetime, his rewards for meritorious service and pensions for those who died in battle were very generous, which was obvious to all.
Xie Hui, Han Xizai and others knew what was going on and immediately took the order.
Wang Jing stood there, looking at the battlefield being cleared, still feeling a little uncomfortable.
Mai Tiezhang's death in battle was beyond his expectation.
After all, Mai Tiezhang also has seventh-level strength. He is also a veteran general who has followed Wang Jing for a long time. He is also very loyal to Wang Jing.
This time he was transferred to the army to give him an opportunity to be promoted through meritorious service.
But the opportunity was given, and Mai Tiezhang unfortunately collided head-on with Xiang Zhuang, who was commanding the charge of the Overlord's cavalry.
Who can blame this? It can only be said that it was God’s will.
Since the establishment of the dynasty in ancient times, countless heroes and heroes have gone through life and death, fighting with swords and guns. In the process, countless heroes and heroes have sacrificed their lives for it.
There are countless famous generals who died midway before their great achievements were achieved.
The very famous Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are typical examples. And to the south of the Huai Army, Zhu Yuanzhang, who founded the Ming Dynasty, died suddenly during the march of Chang Yuchun, and Hu Dahai was killed by a surrendered general...
Feng Sheng, who was named the Duke of the country, and his brother Feng Guoyong also died early before their great achievements were achieved.
Wang Jing encountered many battles along the way. During his rise, very few generals died in battle, which is an anomaly.
Other princes can defeat generals.
Wang Jing is naturally no exception. Now he has lost two generals at once, and two or three more have been seriously injured.
It can be seen from this. The Western Chu army, which seemed to have been defeated in one blow, was still more powerful than the original Sui army.
Wang Jing adjusted his mood after a moment.
He looked at Chen Gong and asked: "Mr. Gongtai, how is the situation with the trapped camp and the Bingzhou cavalry? Is General Gao Shun okay?"
Chen Gong smiled bitterly.
"Thanks to King Huai, General Gao Shun will be fine if he cultivates for a while. Unfortunately, after the battle of the Eight Hundred Camp, there are less than two hundred people left. I don't know how much time it will take to replenish them!"
"Fortunately, we have a trapped camp in this battle. If General Gao Shun hadn't blocked Xiangzhuang's cavalry, our army's losses would have more than doubled!"
Wang Jing said politely.
Chen Gongliandao didn't dare. Although the losses in the camp were serious, they were not comparable to the Huai army.
The Huai Army was the main force in this battle.
