God Three Group Chat: Three Kingdoms

...

And the actual situation was moving in the direction that Zhou Yu had expected. The city walls were on the verge of collapse, and facing the attack of the Han Empire soldiers in the city, they could not play any role in restraining or besieging them.

When a large number of escape routes appeared, the negative impact caused by factors such as chaos caused by being trapped in the fire, loss of morale, inaccurate military orders, and difficulty in executing orders were alleviated, and order was gradually restored.

Without internal self-interference and chaos, it would not be too difficult to leave the city, and the casualties caused by the chaos were also curbed.

It can be said that after the generals who attacked the city withdrew, many people looked at the rising fire in the city with admiration, anger, and even unwillingness in their eyes.

Faced with such an opponent, faced with such an opponent who was determined to perish together with them, their previous achievements were basically weakened, although it would not affect the final result.

"In a sense, the other party's ability is indeed good..." Sun Ce did not feel surprised by this. Instead, he recognized the other party's loyalty and his choice.

This kind of general who takes full responsibility for his mistakes, shoulders the burden alone when something goes wrong, and is loyal to his country is truly worthy of admiration. It's a pity that he is an opponent rather than a teammate.

"First, rescue and treat the wounded, and then start cleaning up the battlefield and clearing out this huge fire..." Looking at the people who had fought all night, Zhou Yu did not immediately let these people rest and enjoy the peace of victory. Instead, he spoke in a serious tone.

Compared to other places, the temperature in this place is higher and more terrifying. If the battlefield is not handled in time and a plague breaks out, then it will be troublesome.

Although their physical fitness allows them to survive, it does not mean that others can do the same, especially the natives of this place, whose living habits and behavioral habits are indeed much worse.

After receiving the order, everyone looked at each other and chose to go and carry it out. After all, no one can get along with the plague.

"What is the loss this time?" After seeing everyone leave, Sun Ce asked this question that was on his mind.

Zhou Yu had already been fully prepared for such inquiries, and he said quite naturally, "After the battlefield is cleaned up, everything will have its own results, but it shouldn't be a big deal..."

Whether it was the early assault or the later landing, the number of casualties among soldiers was not as high as that in the final fire.

As expected, since ancient times, only water and fire are merciless, and there is a reason for this.

“In that case, let’s wait until the battlefield is cleaned up, send a copy of the relevant battle report to Chang’an, and then…” Sun Ce thought about what he could do, gave a brief explanation, and then fell into a dilemma.

Sun Ce, who had gradually recovered from the battlefield, shook his head as he thought about his situation in managing his power.

"I understand. I will send a battle report to Lord Yuan when the time comes. I think Lord Yuan will feel better after receiving this battle report..." Knowing what happened between Yuan Shu and Sun Ce, Zhou Yu could only say it with comfort.

Having left the Central Plains and the country and come to such a faraway place, especially when the New Year is approaching, if I didn't have any thoughts in my heart, I would not be Sun Bofu.

“Let’s go and take a look at Gan Xingba. After all, he has helped us so much, how can we accept it so casually…” Sun Ce, who has an extremely good physical condition, can naturally understand where the blow comes from.

Zhou Yu simply smiled and did not object.

When the intensity of the war began to decrease and entered the stage of cleaning up the battlefield, his layout and planning of the entire battlefield was no longer so important.

So after handing these small matters over to other generals, Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce and headed to the rear. The injured and rescued people encountered along the way made Sun Ce himself understand more clearly what happened.

The departure of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu has not affected the current battlefield, which is a battlefield to be cleaned up.

Even with the cleaning efforts of tens of thousands of naval personnel, it still took a whole day to clear the ruins and create some barely passable roads.

However, the city that was burned by the fire is now just an empty shell with some ruined buildings.

As for the battlefield and houses outside the city walls, there were not many changes. Apart from the scorched earth, there was only charcoal everywhere.

Even under the burning of such a big fire, many people did not need to do any cleaning or burying and could only watch the fire die out.

It can be said that not long after the battlefield was cleaned up, they simply assembled and began to set up camp on the spot, and a large number of people entered their rest period.

It was also during this process of reorganization and re-inventory that their battle reports to each other had a relatively accurate number.

"More than 20,000 soldiers were lost, and dozens of officers and generals in the army..." Zhou Yu looked at the results of the statistics and read them out calmly.

Even though he had been mentally prepared before the war ended, Zhou Yu's breathing became heavier after the result came out.

The main force this time is the real Southern Navy, and basically they are all the headquarters of various generals. They are not weak in terms of combat effectiveness or collective fighting will.

But even in this situation, they still lost so many soldiers.

Unlike the strong reserves of conventional routes, the navy's personnel reserves have always been relatively poor.

This is especially true for the Southern Navy, which is the main force in this battle.

"Nearly 20% of the troops were lost in one battle!" Sun Ce couldn't help but blink when he heard this, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

With the right time, place and people, they still took the initiative, but ended up suffering such a high number of casualties, which is really puzzling.

At the same time, I have a deeper understanding of the wars between empires.

Even as powerful as they were, the Han Empire's legitimate southern navy could only withstand two or three such war failures. As for more, that was unlikely.

The navy's way of fighting was doomed to failure in World War I, and it was difficult to escape or leave.

"As for the number of enemies, it is difficult to estimate. After all, in this process, in addition to the sacrificed Kushan soldiers, there are also many Kushan natives. However, there are at least 100,000 of them..." Zhou Yu gave a rough thought and guess based on his own thinking about the scale of the Kushan Empire's huge naval fleet.

"At least 100,000?!" Sun Ce looked up and nodded firmly. (End of this chapter)
