Chapter 255 Disproportionate Battle Damage

With Guan Jing's order, Gongsun's army retreated to the north, leaving only a few spies waiting for the city gate to open and entering Yijing City to inquire about the news.

When the war here is over, Yi Jingcheng will open the city gate to let the people out, and the city gate cannot be closed all the time.

At this moment, Li Cunxiao, who led the army back to Yijing City, smiled and said to Wu Song, who was beside him:

"I really thank General Wu Song for your help just now, if it wasn't for the archers under your command to frighten the enemy, that enemy general would have really come to fight with our army.

Wu Song laughed when he heard the words: "General Li has praised it badly. Even if the enemy is about to come and fight hard, the last general believes that General Li can take it down."

"To be honest, I really wanted the enemy to rush over just now, so I could take my brothers to fight again."

Wu Song is also a combative person, especially when he is on the battlefield and sees blood, he is even more mad.

Just as the two of them were chatting, a scout chased after him on horseback.

"Report to General Li, General Wu, the enemy army has retreated, and it seems to be heading in the direction of Fanyang City." The spy came over and hurriedly reported.

Li Cunxiao laughed when he heard the words: "The enemy army really retreated, and he 06 is wise, otherwise, when the brothers rest for a few days, they will have to lead the army to clean up them together.

"General Wu Song, since the enemy has retreated, let me return to the city and report the battle to the king.

"That's what it means!" Wu Song replied with a smile.

Afterwards, the army returned to the city in a mighty manner.

At the gate of a city, a soldier smiled and said to them: "Two generals, the king has held a celebration banquet, and now the two generals and the brothers are waiting."

Wu Song was overjoyed when he heard the words: "You just have wine for the celebration banquet?"

"General Li, I'll wait and hurry over there!"

"Hahaha, I never thought that General Wu Song is also a wine lover, let's go, I'll go over now!"

Li Cunxiao laughed and rode his horse quickly to the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon, the two came to the mansion, followed by torches and oil lamps, and they saw people in the mansion staggered, busy figures everywhere.

The table has been placed from inside the house to outside the house, and all kinds of delicious food and fruit are on it.

Wei Zhongdao was talking to Chen Qingzhi and Zhao Yun, and when he saw Li Cunxiao and Wu Song come in, he couldn't help laughing:

"The two generals came back in time, and this king is now waiting for you to come back for a feast. Luo

"I've seen the king!" Li Cunxiao and Wu Song did not dare to answer, but first saluted Wei Zhongdao.

Wei Zhongdao can talk as soon as he sees them, that's because he is the king of Wei who is aloof.

But they can't speak as soon as they see Wei Zhongdao, because they are subordinates and must give salutes first.

"No ceremony, no ceremony, no need to be so strict, this king has already told you!

"Okay, let's talk about the battle damage on your side first, Zilong's side has won a big victory~"

"Out of the 10,000 Gongsun troops in the camp, more than 2,000 were killed and more than 5,000 surrendered, and the rest fled."

"And the soldiers and horses led by Zilong lost less than 600 people. This battle is regarded as showing the prestige of our army in Youzhou. Presumably the battle losses on your side will not disappoint this king? 35

Wei Zhongdao waved his hand and was the first to talk about the battle situation, which was what he was most concerned about at the moment.

The reason why the battle in the Gongsun army camp was so smooth was that Zhao Yun led Qin Ying Ruishi at night. After they rushed into the Gongsun army camp, it was a massacre.

Most of the more than 600 people who lost were the Liangshan infantry who attacked the camp before, and Qin Yingruishi didn't lose much.

So Wei Zhongdao now wants to know the battle damage of Li Cunxiao's part.

"Return to the king, the enemy army in this battle is 7,000 people, more than 4,000 or 300 people died in the battle, more than 1,800 people surrendered, and all the rest fled."

"And our Flying Tiger Army and Liangshan Infantry lost more than 1,800 people, and Liangshan Archers lost more than 100 people, a total of nearly 2,000 people."5

Li Cunxiao said this, in fact, to give Wu Song face, and to count the battle losses of the Flying Tiger Army and the Liangshan Infantry together.

You must know that the Liangshan infantry lost more than 1,400 people in this battle, and the Flying Tiger Army only lost more than 300 people.

In order not to make Wu Song look ugly, he then reported the two troops together.

As for the Liangshan archers led by Wu Song, they only participated in the battle behind them, and they were archers, so naturally they suffered less losses.

But even so, these three troops have lost nearly 2,000 in total. Compared with the battle losses on Zhao Yun's side, it is simply a world away.

Wei Zhongdao frowned upon hearing this. Although he had already prepared in his heart, he was still a little dissatisfied when he heard the battle loss.

It seems that the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan infantry is really not good.

But this is not surprising. After all, they are fighting against Gongsun Zan's elite soldiers and horses, and they have been competing with foreigners all year round.

Let the Liangshan infantry face the opponent head-on, if it weren't for the help of the Flying Tiger Army and the Liangshan infantry, this battle would not only have lost so many people.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhongdao shook his head: "It seems that our army still needs to be strengthened.

"Wu Song, you have to stay here in the future. I want Qingzhi to help train the soldiers and horses under your command. What do you think?"

Wu Song heard the words and hurriedly saluted: "Everything is arranged by the king!

Of course, Wu Song couldn't have an opinion. He also knew that there would be such a large battle loss this time, and most of them were soldiers under his command.

With Chen Qingzhi coming to train, he can't even ask for 670.

After all, in Wu Song's memory, his soldiers and horses were all rogues, and it was an honor to be an officer and soldier.

In the future, if you want to continue to follow Wei Zhongdao to the north and south, the combat effectiveness of this army must be improved.

Otherwise, every time they fight, they will suffer the most damage, and it would be shameful to say it.

"Since you agree, then this matter will be handed over to Qingzhi.

After Wei Zhongdao finished speaking, he seemed to think of something. He turned to Li Cunxiao and asked, "By the way, what happened to Guan Jing's army?"

When Li Cunxiao heard the words, he hurriedly stood up and gave salute: "Back to the king, after the last general handed over the bodies of Gongsun Xu and Yan Gang to this person, he will retreat with his troops and horses."

"The spies came to report just now that the other party's retreat seems to be Fan Yangcheng.

"Fan Yangcheng?" Wei Zhongdao narrowed his eyes: "Then Guan Jing has some skills, and he actually knows to retreat to Fan Yang.

"This king has discussed with Mr. Zifang before he came here. Our army wants to take Youzhou. This Fanyang City is the first city."

"Moreover, it is said that the walls of this city are tall, and there is a lot of grain in the city. If the enemy army is defending, it will be difficult for our army to win!

"But at this time, it will be handed over to the generals, this king will rest here for two days before returning to Luoyang City with Zilong!

"Tonight's feast is both a celebration feast and a farewell feast!"
