Ji Tang

Chapter 835 bluff
"Ahem. In other words, there were at least [-] casualties in Anshi City in this battle?"

At this time, Ji Song's face was pale, without a trace of blood. He had exhausted his body during the battle last night. In the end, because of the heavy casualties of the army, he was so angry that he spurted out a mouthful of blood. At this time, his condition became more serious. .

Su Lie glanced at Mr. Hou worriedly, but finally sighed.

"General Manager, it's more than that!"

The secretary of the army said with some excitement: "We have killed 4 enemy troops, and this does not include those who were lost or injured and died. Calculating this, I am afraid that no less than [-] people will lose their combat effectiveness."

"In other words, more than half of Anshi City's [-] troops have been killed or injured this time. This is a great victory!"

Ji Song heard this without any trouble, a big victory?He would rather not have such a big victory.

The Tang army was at the end of its battle last night, and Yang Wanchun must have known that even if they persisted in not retreating and completely defeated Ji Song's army, they would suffer heavy casualties, and it would be basically impossible to defend Anshi City in the future.

That's why I retreated so simply and decisively.

He is a veteran after all. If he had encountered a young, impulsive general yesterday and attacked recklessly, it is hard to say what would have happened next!

"The General Manager does not need to blame himself. Casualties have been unavoidable on battlefields since ancient times. Although our army suffered heavy casualties this time, more than half of the enemy's troops were lost. With such a record, what else can the General Manager be dissatisfied with?"

The secretary who accompanied the army was a young official. I heard that he had been on duty in the Ministry of Household Affairs before, but he was sent to the army for some unknown reason.

But Ji Song didn't care about these, as long as he did what he told him well.

"You go ahead and tell the doctors to use all your strength to treat the wounded soldiers. No matter what, save every one you can, at any cost!"

The secretary of the army bowed deeply to Ji Song and said: "The general manager is kind!"

When he got down, he and Liu Rengui were the only ones left in the tent.

"Master Marquis, it's better to call the doctor to take a look. You look really bad now."

Su Lie really couldn't talk anymore. Now that he saw Master Hou's appearance, he was afraid that some people would believe him even if he said he was about to die soon.

Last night, everyone saw how the Marquis fought against Shenwei. It can be said that if the Marquis had not turned the tide and led his troops to surprise the enemy commander, almost killing Yang Wanchun and forcing the enemy to retreat, the consequences would have been disastrous.

Although there have been rumors outside that the Marquis has a courage beyond belief, they all think it is just rumors spread by outsiders and cannot be believed.

Because the appearance of the Marquis is so deceptive. How could a normally gentle and learned man be an incompetent general?I can't even think of going together!
But last night, they really hit the mark with Marquis Shenwei. With the use of a horse spear, all the enemy troops they encountered were swept away in a large area, and there was no enemy at all.

It was only because of the Marquis's bravery that the exhausted soldiers fought bravely to fight the enemy and persisted until the end.

But with the current state of the Marquis, he probably paid a lot for last night, otherwise he wouldn't be where he is now.

"No need."

Ji Song coughed a few more times and said with a wry smile: "I am a doctor, how can I not know what is going on with me?"

"You don't have to worry, I'm not dead yet."

Su Lie wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Ji Song.

"Immediately go and gather the remaining soldiers for training. The louder the noise, the better. It is best to let everyone in Anshi City hear it. If nothing happens, you can show off your power with the cavalry outside the city."

Su Lie was confused by what Ji Song said. There were less than [-] soldiers who could fight immediately, and the rest needed at least a few days to recuperate.

Now is the time when one's own side is exhausted. Is it really a good idea to go to other people's cities with such a high profile to show off one's power?
"Go for it and experience it for yourself!"

Ji Song said impatiently: "Go away!"

When Su Lie came out, he still didn't understand why he did this?
But if you don’t understand it, you don’t understand it, but you still have to do what needs to be done.The battle last night allowed everyone to get to know this good Marquis again. Soldiers admire the strong the most, and Ji Song, who turned the tide last night, is the strong in their minds.

Su Lie ordered his men and horses and began to drill. The sound was so loud that it could be heard clearly even in Anshi City, which was ten miles away!
"What's going on? Could it be that Tang Jun came to kill us?"

The Goguryeo soldiers on the city wall suddenly became panicked. About 6 people went out last night, but only less than 3 people came back. There are nearly [-] people injured here, and they may not be able to fight in a short time.

Such heavy casualties made them fearful of the Tang army on the opposite side. Now they suddenly heard the shouts of killing from the opposite side and suddenly panicked.

"I've already taken my stand, what are you afraid of? Can they still attack the city?"

Yang Wanchun, who had been staying on the city wall, was immediately awakened. Seeing the panic of the soldiers, he said angrily.

"General, what do you think the Tang Army and the others are doing? How come they are making such a big fuss?"

Yang Wanchun thought for a moment and didn't quite understand the meaning of Ji Song's move.

Just when he was about to say something, there was a sudden tremor outside the city.

"No, this is the movement of a large group of cavalry."

Yang Wanchun was shocked and said quickly: "Everyone is in full formation, archers are ready!"

Although everyone was panicked, Yang Wanchun's long-standing prestige still convinced them.After hearing the general's words, everyone started to move in an orderly manner.

Boom~
Su Lie led the cavalry to a stone's throw outside the city wall and stopped. Seeing the soldiers waiting at the top of the city, he felt a little guilty.

But thinking of the Marquis's order, he still shouted: "Old man Yang, you dared to sneak attack on our army last night, you are so shameless."

"How does it feel to be wiped out by our entire army of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Hahaha~"

The cavalrymen behind Su Lie burst out laughing, as if they were laughing at them.

Yang Wanchun gritted his teeth, but he still endured it.

In the battle last night, only [-] of his [-]-strong army were left to fight. These were all the elites he had accumulated over decades!

It was just gone. He would be lying if he said he wasn't heartbroken. He now wished he could leave the city and cut Ji Song's corpse into thousands of pieces, behead the Tang army, and pile them up like the Sui army before him.

But he knew that he might be able to do it at all costs, but what about after that?
How much of the remaining five-year army is left?Can Anshi City still be defended?
Thinking of the figure that stretched across the battlefield last night, with no enemy under its control, like a god and demon, I felt a chill in my heart.

He was almost, almost killed by him in the midst of thousands of troops.

It can be said that such a strong general is rare in his life, and the former Sui Dynasty general protects his children like this!
"Not good, run away!"

While Yang Wanchun was meditating, he was forcibly pulled down behind the crenellations of the city wall by a huge force.

Just as he was about to scold him, he heard the sound of arrows flying.

"what!"

A guard next to him had a trembling arrow stuck in his body, but the look in his eyes was slowly disappearing.

It turned out that Su Lie became more courageous when he saw that there was no movement on the city wall, and directly asked everyone to rain a hail of arrows on the enemy on the city wall.
