When it started to get brighter, the battle finally ended. More than three hundred golden soldiers were captured, squatting together dejectedly, and many of them were still injured.
After the battle, all you could see were injuries and deformities, and the wailing in the camp was really torturous. Although Cao Ling'er, who was following Guan Cheng, tried hard to keep a smile and maintain his posture, the paleness on his face and the swelling in his throat from time to time easily gave him away. he.
Cao Ling'er secretly glanced at her sweetheart and cheered secretly. Cao Ling'er had acquired a lot of knowledge during this period, and naturally she also knew the cost of Guan Cheng, the prince, keeping him by his side.
The group of people walked through the camp, stopping from time to time to chat with a soldier to soothe the atmosphere in the camp.
"Your Highness~"
Guan Cheng looked in the direction of the call and saw Wu Chengju rushing towards here, followed by Bu Wang of the special operations brigade.
"You will have a good life and recover from your injuries. I promised you a hundred acres of fertile land."
Guan Cheng's voice was very peaceful, and the princess and the soldiers beside him who were like gods looked frightened and satisfied. It wasn't until Guan Cheng walked a short distance away that they sat together again. These are things you can brag about in the future. Capital, no matter how strong the princes in the world are, no matter how Datong loses power, the man just now is a genuine prince, and his status is not comparable to that of ordinary princes.
The Datong royal family has always had a good reputation among the common people, which may be one of the reasons why the vassal states still recognize this face.
Wu Chengju first bowed to Guan Cheng and then said: "Your Highness, the statistics are out. The casualties in this battle are not small. It can be said that more than half of the casualties were killed."
Guan Cheng frowned slightly when he heard this, and then sighed longly and said: "Bury the brothers who died in the battle on the spot, and take the rest of the wounded with you if you want. Anyway, there are a lot more carts after this battle, no. Those who are willing will be provided with adequate expenses, and there must be no shortage.”
"Don't worry, Your Highness, these minor matters have already been arranged."
Guan Cheng nodded, then turned his gaze to Bu Wang.
Bu Wang understood the spiritual meeting and hurriedly paid homage: "Your Highness, the traces of the golden soldiers are all under control."
Guan Cheng didn't say much but turned his head and said softly: "Ling'er, please go back with grandma first, and then I'll see you later."
Cao Ling'er knew that Guan Cheng and others had important matters to discuss, so he didn't say much at the moment. He just smiled and saluted before leaving. Wu Chengju and others also quickly saluted to Cao Ling'er to show their respect. Now, who doesn't know that this extremely wealthy man from a peasant family is in front of him? The beautiful woman is the future Princess Jin.
Wu Chengju was even secretly upset in his heart, blaming himself for being too carefree in the first half of his life. If he had such a beautiful daughter, he would be worried about it, and he did not consider at all what kind of genes his tall and thick appearance would have.
After Cao Ling'er left, Guan Cheng asked, "Continue."
"Yes." Bu Wang saluted again and said: "The subordinates followed all the way and kept their whereabouts so they were not discovered. Now the Jin soldiers are repairing about ten miles away from here. Jin General intends to gather the defeated troops and attack Jiuying. Banner, Jin Bing had gathered no less than two hundred people before I came back, and now Chief Qiu and others are still watching, please give orders from Your Highness."
"Ten miles? So close? This Yan Tao is quite courageous." Guan Cheng sneered.
"Your Highness, I think Yan Tao may think that our army suffered a lot of casualties in last night's battle. After all, Yan Tao knows the details of our army. It is difficult to have the energy to pursue after last night's melee. Moreover, Yan Tao has five in his hand. The brigade will definitely not be willing to accept this battle, and it is very likely that they will mobilize troops again to attack our army."
Guan Cheng couldn't help but nodded. He wouldn't have been willing to suffer such a big loss in the face of his absolute superiority and strength. In just a few days, the most elite soldiers in his hands were almost wiped out, and the army was suddenly lost. Forty percent, if there is no result in the battle and he cannot explain it after he returns, even if the leader of the Jin Kingdom protects him, he may not be able to keep it.
Thinking of this, Guan Cheng looked at Wu Chengju and asked, "Where is Wang Ye?"
"Back to Your Highness, Captain Wang is currently cleaning up the aftermath. Do you need me to call him over?"
Guan Cheng shook his head and said, "Forget it."
Then he said: "The thief Yan Tao dared to rob my camp, kill my troops and destroy my hard work. Such a great hatred must be avenged."
"General Wu."
Wu Chengju was overjoyed that it was finally his turn.
"How many troops can be deployed in the army now?"
Wu Chengju thought for a moment and then replied: "Back to Your Highness, there are more than 300 intact soldiers. If you include the lightly wounded, there are almost 700."
Guan Cheng was shocked when he heard this and asked quickly: "Where is the Chinese army?"
Wu Chengju smiled bitterly and replied: "Your Highness, the military ministers in the Central Military Commission are also included."
Guan Cheng was stunned. He didn't expect that after two wars, he would almost become a bare prince.
"Are most of the more than 300 people who were not injured were new recruits?"
Wu Chengju nodded.
Recruits actually accounted for more than half!
Guan Cheng felt very worried. The presence of veterans in an army was very important. The war was directed by the superiors, but it was completed by countless soldiers. An experienced veteran could reassure the surrounding recruits. It could be said that an army The most important thing about the combat strength of an army is how many veterans dare to fight.
Military strategists often say that the right time, place and people are favorable, but the right time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the right people. Talent is the foundation.
For a moment, Guan Cheng was a little shaken. He didn't have much capital and only a small amount of money. Now, the journey of thousands of miles had just begun. There was no way to predict what would happen next.
But then Guan Cheng's eyes became firm. This battle cannot be avoided. If Yan Tao dies, the leader of the Jin Kingdom will be furious. However, most of the main forces of the Jin Kingdom are concentrated in the Yuhang County area. Even if the leader of the Jin Kingdom wants to pursue him, he must consider four things. Will the Wan Peng Shu coalition be able to explode this skill?
However, if Yan Tao survived, he would surely come after him again. The leader of the Jin Kingdom did not know how many Jin troops there were, but Yan Tao knew everything.
The Jin army could repel Yan Tao once or twice, but it would be impossible to repel him a third time.
Cut the grass without eradicating its roots, but it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
"Seven hundred men! Leave two hundred men alone to guard the camp."
But Guan Cheng seemed to have thought of something again, so he remained silent, turned around and started pacing on the spot.
Sometimes his brows were furrowed, and sometimes he looked into the distance, leaving Wu Chengju and the two in shock, wondering what his Highness was thinking.
Fortunately, Guan Cheng did not keep the two of them waiting for a long time, which was more than ten breaths, but these ten breaths were so long in the eyes of the two.
"Wu Chengju."
"The general is here!"
Guan Cheng looked at the middle-aged general who had been by his side since he was a child and said solemnly, "I will give you all my people."
Wu Chengju was shocked, everyone?
Looking at Wu Chengju's surprised face, Guan Cheng nodded heavily and said, "That's right, everyone. All combatants who can take action, including cooks, grooms, and handymen, are all assigned to you."
Then Wu Chengju couldn't help but palpitate when he heard the murderous order.
"I want you to bring back a head, either yours or Yan Tao's!"
Looking at the murderous look in Guan Cheng's eyes, the blood in Wu Chengju's heart began to surge. Successful achievements always come before the king. Then he said loudly: "If you can't get Yan Tao's head back, you will eventually kill yourself in front of the king!"
