Chapter 73

Zhang Xiu returns to the camp with her soldiers. When she arrives, it's already Yinshi, more than an hour before dawn. Zhang Xiu asked Gan Ning's whole army to line up in order to count the soldiers. After counting the losses in the war, the soldiers were allowed to rest separately.

In this war, 468 people died. The vast majority of the soldiers who died in the battle were killed near Wuji mountain and were overtaken by Wei Yan when they retreated.

When Wei Yan's soldiers were killed, not many of them were damaged.

With nearly 500 casualties, in exchange for the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on Wei Yan, Zhang Xiu thinks it is worth it.

This battle is a great victory.

In the camp, Zhang Xiu, Gan Ning, Huang Zhao and others took their seats.

Zhang Xiu looked at Gan Ning and said, "Gan Ning has made a great contribution to this small-scale conflict. If there were no fire in Dongfeng, Wei Yan would not have been defeated. In this war, Gan Ning should make the first contribution. "

"Thank you

Gan Ning quickly got up to thank him.

Gan Ning's heart is also full of excitement.

But he had some regrets and said with emotion: "Lord, it's a pity that Wei Yan escaped. If it wasn't for Wei Yan's close guard, Wei Yan would not be able to escape. "

Zhang Xiu looked solemn and said: "under Wei Yan's command, there are soldiers fighting to death, but also to protect him to retreat, which shows Wei Yan's ability. Such people are not simple. When we fight Wei Yan, we should not be arrogant just because of the victory. Do you understand? "

"I understand!"

All of them answered.

What Zhang Xiu worried about was that after the victory of the war, the whole army was impetuous and thought that Wei Yan was incompetent.

In fact, Wei Yan is not weak.

Ganning said: "Lord, when shall we attack again?"

Zhang Xiu thought for a while and said, "the soldiers are exhausted after a fierce battle tonight. Let's take a day off for a while and adjust our condition. Soldiers who take part in the war at night don't have to gather in the daytime and let them sleep to keep their spirits up. "

"Here it is

Gan Ning responded directly.

Zhang Xiu continued: "xingba, do you think Wei Yan will arrange soldiers to stay in Xifeng after a big fire in Dongfeng?"

"I don't think so."

Gan Ning thought about it and replied.

Zhang Xiu flashed a light in her eyes and said: "in that case, you can arrange a team of sentinels to go to Xifeng quietly. If there were no Wei Yan's soldiers on the West Peak. Tomorrow night, arrange a group of soldiers to hide in Xifeng. Both Xifeng and Dongfeng are strategic places. They can be controlled in our hands and have many advantages. "

Ganning said, "my Lord is wise!"

After a compliment, Gan Ning said again: "when there is a big fire in Dongfeng, Wei Yan will worry about the same situation in Xifeng, and will not arrange people to stay. The LORD went in the opposite direction and quietly deployed the soldiers to garrison, which is tantamount to the layout ahead of time. "

Zhang Xiu also smiles gently.

On the battlefield, in addition to confrontation, we also pay attention to surprise.

Only by surprise can we win!

Zhang Xiu also praised the general for his bravery and said some other miscellaneous things. Then she waved her hand and said, "everyone is tired all day. Let's go down and have a rest."

"Here it is

Gan Ning and others should go down together.

Ganning could not help yawning at this time. During the day, he took his soldiers to Dongfeng. He was always in a state of high tension. At night, he kept fighting back and forth. Now he relaxed and felt a little tired.

After everyone retreated, Zhang Xiu also took off her armor and went to have a rest.

When Zhang Xiu woke up, it was almost noon. Careful calculation, Zhang Xiu sleep less than three hours, but a short rest, he has recovered his spirit, no longer tired.

That's the advantage of being young.

Today's Zhang Xiu, excellent physical fitness, energy is also strong, staying up late has no effect.

After washing up, as soon as Zhang Xiu had lunch, Gan Ning rushed to Zhang Xiu's tent and reported: "Lord, I will get the news from the sentinel. There are no soldiers stationed in Xifeng."

"Good!"

Zhang Xiu couldn't help cheering.

This is an opportunity.

Gan Ning continued: "now Wei Yan has retreated to Wuji mountain camp. Although the fire in Dongfeng has gone out, it has been reduced to scorched earth and is still steaming. In a short period of time, there will be no soldiers stationed. "

Zhang xiuxiao said: "yesterday's World War I scared Wei Yan. Of course, it may also be that Wei Yan's troops were not enough to be stationed in Xifeng. It's a good opportunity for us. "

"How many soldiers will be sent to Xifeng?" asked Gan Ning

Zhang Xiu thought for a while and said, "it's enough to have six hundred elite soldiers, but remember not to leak their whereabouts. The lesson of the Dongfeng fire is still there. If we make the same mistake, it will be unforgivable. "

Gan Ning said: "Lord, don't worry. I understand. I will hide in Xifeng safely."Zhang Xiu said: "go and arrange it!"

"Here it is

Gan Ning should be next, then turn round to arrange.

Zhang Xiu sat alone in the tent, thinking about the next step. However, he is not too anxious to send troops. Now that Wei Yan has just lost, he needs to see whether Wei Yan will still be stationed in Wuji mountain.

Wei Yan's troops were insufficient. If he withdrew directly, Zhang Xiu could drive straight into Wan county. If Wei Yan continues to garrison Wuji mountain, Zhang Xiu must defeat Wei Yan's army first.

However, with Wei Yan's temperament, he lost so miserably that he had a great hatred in his heart, and there was a great possibility that he would stay or even attack again for revenge.

Of course, this is Zhang Xiu's guess.

……

Wei Yan's barracks.

Wei Yan's face was grim and even paler. Yesterday, he was defeated in the hands of Zhang Xiu, at the expense of his troops, and he was also seriously injured.

His injury is under control.

It's hard to let go.

With the passage of time, many soldiers have returned to the barracks around midnight. According to Zhou Ru's report, more than 2200 soldiers have returned. When they returned, they were reorganized and incorporated into the army. After all, there were countless deaths and injuries yesterday, and many sequences were out of order.

However, the more the soldiers returned, the fewer they returned. In the evening, Wei Yan sent someone to ask again. The number of soldiers who came back was more than 2600.

Wei Yan looked at the numbers and was heartbroken.

Among the soldiers he brought to Wuji mountain from Wan County, there were 5000 elite soldiers and more loyal people like Huang Ben. During the first world war last night, more than 2000 soldiers under his command were injured. Of course, some of them were captured and some escaped without coming back.

But even if there were not more than 2000 soldiers killed in the war, Wei Yan lost more than 2000.

Half of the troops were lost in the first World War, which is a huge number.

If Wei Yan had not dispersed his soldiers in the two retreats, he would have lost all his soldiers in the first world war last night. Now there are more than 2000 soldiers withdrawn, plus the 2000 soldiers brought by Zhou Ru, Wei Yan has the strength of the first World War.

Wei Yan said, "come on!"

The tent curtain was lifted and a soldier quickly entered and bowed.

Wei Yan said, "please come to see Zhou Ru."

"Here it is

The soldiers have to be ordered to inform immediately.

After a while, dressed in armor, Zhou Ru strode into the barracks and said, "I don't know what I'm going to do for you

Wei Yanchen said: "Zhou Ru, this time lost to Zhang Xiu, this will not be reconciled. Now the soldiers in the army are gathered together, and we have nearly 5000 soldiers. I want to attack Zhang Xiu again. What do you think? "

Zhou Ru said, "I agree with your humble position."

His answer is very straightforward. Because Zhou Ru didn't consider the specific situation of the war at all, and he didn't analyze the war. When he came, he was instructed by Deng Ning to support Wei Yan this time, regardless of all the costs, and hit Zhang Xiu hard.

This is Zhou Ru's position.

Zhou Ru came to Wuji mountain not to help garrison, but to help Wei Yanqiang attack Zhang Xiu.

Wei Yan got Zhou Ru's advice, with a smile on his face, nodded and said: "with you, I will be at ease. You are in charge of rectifying the soldiers. Two days later, we will attack Zhang Xiu again. "

"Here it is

Zhou Ru was ordered to turn back.

Wei Yan sat alone in the camp, thinking about the next contest. Now he is full of the idea of revenge, want to beat Zhang Xiu, revenge.
