The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 896
It was daylight.

There was still a faint smog in the barracks.

Liu Hongyi, Zhang Hongwei, Zhu Haiwang and others were sitting in the tent.

Only at this time, there were a few familiar faces missing in the tent.

Ma Hesong, the deputy commander of the Jingjiang Prefecture Garrison Military Region, Yu Jingyi, the commander of the third regiment, and Ning Mingliang, the governor of the seventh regiment, died.

As many as seven regiment-level generals were killed in battle alone.

The Qiongzhou Army also suffered heavy casualties.

The deputy commander, Huang Zhijie, was seriously injured in Zhongliuya.

There are as many as ten generals above the regiment level who died heroically.

This is of course not a small loss.

The entire Song Dynasty has only hundreds of thousands of soldiers, less than [-] armies, and [-] regiments. How many regiment-level generals are there in total?
Of course, this does not include the regiment-level generals of the defenders in various places.

The soldiers were still outside cleaning the battlefield.

Liu Hongyi glanced at the people in the commander's tent, sighed softly, and then asked Zhang Hongwei: "Mr. Zhang, when will the army arrive?"

Although Chi Fenggu's army that attacked the camp has now been defeated, there are still more than [-] Dali troops in Hengshan Village.This number is still enough to pose a great threat to them.

Zhang Hongwei frowned slightly, and pondered: "I don't know about this. However, Commander Liu and Commander Miao led the army at full speed, and they should arrive tomorrow at the latest."

"General Liu!"

While Liu Hongyi was talking with Zhang Hongwei, another general entered the tent.

Liu Hongyi saw the general, his eyes narrowed and he said, "Has the casualty statistics been calculated?"

"not yet."

The general shook his head, but there was a smile on his face, "But we have counted the generals in the Dali bandit army."

"how?"

Liu Hongyi asked with some emotion.

All the generals in the tent also looked towards this general.

Although most of them are used to life and death, they are undoubtedly extremely indignant that so many generals have been lost in this battle.He is quite concerned about the casualties of the Dali Army.

The general replied: "Looking at the armor, there are seventeen generals at the level of ten thousand commanders, and seventeen generals at the level of thousand commanders."

"Ha ha!"

There was a general laughing in the tent.

Everyone looked happy.

Although the establishment of the Dali army is different from that of the Song army, there are generally no such establishments as ten thousand commanders, thousand commanders, and centurion commanders in this era.It's just that the titles of generals are different.

The generals of each tribe were also nominally canonized by the Dali court.

Chi Fenggu and Wang Zigan successively led more than 40 people to attack the Song camp. There should be only three to forty thousand commanders in the army, and three to four hundred thousand commanders.Now that there are so many dead in battle, it can be said that it is close to losing nearly half.

Such a loss is of course much greater than that of the Song army.

But it's normal when you think about it.

They didn't have Shenlong guns in their army, and the generals still led their soldiers to charge as usual.How could it be possible not to suffer heavy casualties in the face of the Song Army's Shenlong Gun and Thunderbolt?

This time, the Dali Army in Hengshan Village was absolutely shattered.

And when everyone was overjoyed, the general said again: "Also, there is a gray-robed man with this badge on his waist."

As he spoke, he pulled out a triangular token from his waist.

Liu Hongyi stepped forward to take it, and saw two words written on the back, "Pojun."

He murmured, and then his eyes showed joy, he turned his head to Hong Wutian and said: "Hong Wutian is the badge of the Pojun Academy. Could it be those true martial arts swordsmen?"

An Dongnan answered at this moment, "My Shenlei Army shot and killed a master of the rivers and lakes when they rushed to the camp. I don't know if it was this person."

Hong Wutian smiled and said: "It should be. As far as I know, this token is not owned by everyone in the Pojun Academy, only true martial arts masters have it."

The faces of the generals were even more joyful.

It is indeed difficult to deal with real martial arts masters on the battlefield. It can be said that the gold content of beheading a real martial arts master is even greater than beheading a ten-thousand-level general.

Of course, the role that real martial arts masters can achieve on the battlefield is still incomparable to those full-time captains.

Liu Hongyi threw away the token in his hand, and said with a smile, "The Dali army suffered so many casualties. I want to see what they will use to continue to invade our Great Song territory."

Everyone smiled and nodded.

At this moment, it seems that all the losses are worth it.

The garrison military area of ​​Jingjiang Mansion and the Qiongzhou Army have a total of only 3 people, and they can fight so many Dali Army.No matter how you look at it, it is a brilliant victory.

After a while, Liu Hongyi and other talents began to discuss the next matters.

Although Dali's defeated army has retreated to Hengshan Village, no one knows whether they will continue to attack.And if it is an attack, should it be withdrawn or attacked?

After all, even with the 3000 people led by Zhang Hongwei in the barracks, there might not be too many people.

Hengshan Village.

One after another, routs returned to the city.

All of them were numb.

lost.

It's just that these ordinary soldiers obviously don't have much concept of defeat.Perhaps for them, it was a fluke to come back alive.

Those who should be worried are those generals who are on the stage.

Chi Fenggu led the people straight back to the government office.

Wang Ziqian had already gotten up at this time, presumably because he had received a report, and before Chi Fenggu and others had reached the main hall, he greeted him from the main hall.

Seeing Chi Fenggu from a distance, he quickened his pace a bit, went up to him and asked, "Senior brother, how is it?"

Chi Fenggu's face was gloomy, "Junior Brother, did you come to see my joke?"

Wang Ziqian shook his head again and again, "No, no. Junior brother, how dare I have such thoughts."

Chi Fenggu snorted softly, and said again: "Song's reinforcements arrived, and our army was defeated. The hot air balloon army was wiped out, and countless soldiers died in battle."

Then he didn't want to say any more, bypassed Wang Ziqian and walked towards the main hall.

Wang Ziqian turned around to catch up, frowned and said, "Song's reinforcements arrived so soon? Then... what should we do?"

Chi Feng said: "The reinforcements are only a few thousand people, but the firearms in the army are extremely powerful. There are hundreds of hot air balloons, and there are sky cannons specially designed to deal with my hot air balloons."

The prince's dry eyes narrowed slightly, "What does that brother mean, let's continue fighting?"

Chi Fenggu tilted his head, staring deeply at Wang Ziqian, "Will Junior Brother really agree with me?"

Wang Ziqian said seriously: "Senior brother, there is some competition between the two of us, you and I are well aware of this. But the overall situation is the most important thing in everything, this point, the younger brother is still light."

"Ah."

Hearing these words, Chi Fenggu's face finally softened, and he said: "I and you have suffered such a big defeat, no one can escape the blame. The Song army's weapons are so powerful. Although our army has many soldiers and generals, if we wait for them When the army arrives, it may be quite difficult to defend the Hengshan stronghold. Those Song soldiers are all capable of one against ten..."

His eyes narrowed slightly, "If you want to retreat back to the country like this, unless...we find a way to make all the hundreds of hot air balloons of Song Jun disappear."

There was murderous intent in his eyes.

Wang Ziqian frowned, "Brother, do you have a good plan?"

Chi Fenggu shook his head.

They don't have soaring cannons in their army, so for them, hot air balloons are not easy to deal with.

In the past, there were more than a thousand hot air balloons, and they might be able to fight with Song Jun's hot air balloons, but now that all the hot air balloons under Chi Fenggu's command have been wiped out, there is no such possibility.

There are only less than two hundred hot air balloons left in Wang Zigan's army.

A group of people with different expressions walked towards the main hall.

Some generals returned to the city after Chi Feng drum, but they did not rush to the main hall.

In their hearts, at this moment, they might all have complaints about Chi Fenggu.

After all, Chi Fenggu was only the main general of the airborne, and he didn't even have much prestige among the forbidden army.At this moment, it is considered good that these defeated troops have not mutinied.

Not long after, great chaos broke out in Hengshan Village.

Some generals were extremely angry and led their soldiers to burn, kill, loot and vent their anger.

In this day and age, this is not uncommon.

At the time when Zhao Dongting was not in power, even the Song Army did such things within the country.In the case of successive defeats, there are not many soldiers who have become bandits.

Soon, someone came to the government office to report the matter to Chi Fenggu and Wang Zigan.

Chi Fenggu just snorted coldly at this, but Wang Zigan's eyes flashed brightly.

He suddenly got up and walked in front of Chi Fenggu, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother, I have a way, I don't know if it is feasible or not."

Chi Fenggu watched the prince doing it.

Wang Ziqian said again: "The generals and soldiers were defeated and resented. We can't stop it, but we can take this opportunity to completely destroy the Song camp."

"Oh?"

Chi Fenggu was slightly moved, "Please explain in detail."

Wang Ziqian smiled softly and said, "There is chaos in the city and flames are everywhere. If some people escape from the city at this time, it should be normal, right? What if they go to Song Ying for help?"
