Chapter 298

Zhang Xiu asked, "what's the result?"

Gan Ning replied: "the loss of our soldiers in this war resulted in 2358 deaths, including 998 in Langya camp and 1360 in ordinary soldiers."

Zhang Xiu looks a little silent.

The main loss of ordinary soldiers was to resist the retreat of Yan Xing and Ma Xiu, and to fight against Ma Teng.

The loss of Langya battalion is the loss of fighting Ma Chao.

At that time, 886 soldiers of Langya camp under Chen Zhi's command were killed in the battle, and more than 100 of the others were damaged by cavalry. This is normal.

Overall, the battle was a complete victory.

It's just that Langya camp lost a lot.

Zhang Xiu took a deep breath and said, "where are the captured soldiers?"

Gan Ning smile on his face, replied: "in this war, we have captured more than 14000 soldiers, more than 3400 horses have been captured, 2000 horses are intact, 1400 horses have broken bones, have been treated."

"If you can recover, it's the best."

"If you can't recover, you have to kill."

Gan Ning said excitedly, "we have killed countless Liangzhou soldiers, and roughly counted more than 5000."

"Good!"

Zhang Xiu just took a bad breath.

There are two main sources of the soldiers he captured. The first is the soldiers who captured Ma Xiu and Yan Xingshi, and the second is the soldiers who defeated Ma Teng. Although there are still some others, they are in the minority.

Zhang Xiu ordered: "surrender soldiers, all custody properly, and then as soon as possible to recruit, surrender and reorganize, do not cause trouble."

"I'll do it

Gan Ning answers with a fist.

In fact, what Zhang Xiu lacks now is elite troops and food.

He can support as many soldiers as he wants.

After Zhang Xiu asked Gan Ning to step down, she told the soldiers to call Chen Dao.

Today's Chen Dao looks a little depressed, but he is also energetic and ready to rebuild the Langya camp. This time, the loss almost consumed one third of the elite of Langya camp, which was a big blow to Chen Dao.

Chen Dao said, "I'll meet you at your humble post."

With a smile, Zhang Xiu said, "Chen Dao, the dead are gone, and the living need to be strong. As the commander of Langya camp, you have to shoulder the heavy task of rebuilding Langya camp. "

"I understand

Chen Dao answered immediately.

Zhang Xiu said: "according to Gan Ning's report, after defeating Ma Teng's cavalry, he captured 2000 war horses in good condition and more than 1400 injured ones. You take over all these horses, and then select soldiers from the army to reorganize the Langya camp. The style and fine tradition of Langya camp must be inherited. "

"I'll do it

After hearing this, Chen Dao was excited.

With 2000 intact horses and more than 1000 injured horses, his Langya camp can expand again.

Zhang xiudao said: "go to work!"

"Here it is

Chen is full of hope at the moment and leaves with high morale.

Zhang Xiu's army temporarily rest, and Ma Chao, he took the soldiers with a breath to withdraw more than ten miles before stopping to rest.

Ma Chao looks pale.

He and Zhang Xiu fight, shoulder injury, is very embarrassed. Especially when he was fighting with Zhang Xiu, if pound hadn't arrived in time, he would have died under Zhang Xiu's gun.

Pound followed, looking at Ma Chao's shoulder, which had been soaked and dyed red with blood, and said, "young master, your injury is very serious. You must bandage it as soon as possible. Otherwise, it is easy to leave future troubles. "

Ma Chao said: "I will bandage it immediately. Ling Ming, you should count the loss first."

"Here it is

Pound went to the count immediately.

It wasn't long. After Ma Chao bandaged the wound and put on his clothes again, pound came to Ma Chao.

At the moment, Pound's face was dignified.

As soon as Ma Chao saw Pound's look, he knew that the situation was not good and said, "what's the specific situation?"

Pound replied, "young master, our cavalry has suffered a great loss. Of the four thousand elite riders, only two thousand were left, and nearly two thousand were damaged. Of course, some of the cavalry escaped, but this time it was a great loss. In addition, more than 600 infantry have escaped. "

"Son of a bitch!"

Ma Chao was furious when he heard Pound's report.

Of the four thousand elite riders, two thousand lost. Even if two or three hundred escaped, more than 1800 died in the war.

This is hard for Ma Chao to accept.

In particular, Zhang Xiu captured Ma Teng. It can be predicted that Ma Teng's 4000 elite riders were defeated. This time, Ma's army, which had been sent from Xiliang, almost disappeared.

First, Matthew's 8000 foot soldiers.

Then there are four thousand elite cavalry and two thousand infantry of marten.

Plus, he still has nearly 2000 losses.This war has damaged nearly 16000 people, which is a great loss.

Pound said in a deep voice: "young master, under the present situation, I suggest not to withdraw Chencang county and go straight back to Liangzhou. In Chencang County, Han Sui still has more than 10000 troops, but we only have more than 3000. What if Han wants to deal with it? At that time, you will be in a very bad situation. And even if Han Sui doesn't have evil intentions, I'm afraid Chencang county can't keep it. "

After thinking about it, Ma Chao shook his head and said, "no, I will not withdraw."

"What if Han then deals with us?" said pound

"He dare not!"

Ma Chao raised his head and threw it to the ground in a voice: "with me, Ma Chao is not afraid to do it. Han Sui is really insidious, but he knows the strength of our cavalry and dare not fight with us. What's more, in today's situation, Zhang Xiu is coming. If Han Sui fights with us, he will not be able to defend Chencang county. "

Pound sighed and said, "since you have decided, let's do it."

"Go back to Chencang!"

Ma Chao looked at the direction of futu mountain and led his troops to Chencang county. When Ma Chao arrived in Chencang, he went straight into the city before noon, and then returned to his own army without excessive publicity.

Ma Chao kept silent, but the news came to Han Sui's ears.

When Han Sui learned that Ma Chao was defeated, he immediately arranged for Yang Cong to inquire about the news.

After a short time, Yang Cong came back.

With a faint smile on his face, Yang Cong entered the Chinese army tent, bowed to Han Sui, and said excitedly, "general, I've got the news about Ma Chao and Ma Teng."

Han Sui stood up directly, paced back and forth, with a smile on his face, and said, "don't hurry, let me guess. Last night in the last battle, Ma Teng led 4000 elite cavalry and 2000 infantry to fight. At that time, Ma Chao didn't go out. "

"After Ma Teng left for a long time, Ma Chao quietly left Chencang county."

"Now, Ma Chao comes back alone. Maybe Ma Teng is ambushed, and Ma Chao himself loses his troops."

"Is that right?"

Han Sui looks at Yang Cong and looks forward to it.

Yang Cong nodded and said: "the general is wise. Ma Teng was defeated and captured by Zhang Xiu. In addition, the 4000 elite cavalry Ma Chao brought last night only brought back 3000 people, some of them infantry. The strength of the Ma family army has been greatly weakened. "

"Good, good, good!"

Han Sui carried his hands, raised his head and laughed, and his face was full of pride.

Yang Cong said: "unfortunately, Ma Chao didn't die. If Ma Chao fights with Zhang Xiu, he also falls into Zhang Xiu's hands, or is killed by Zhang Xiu on the spot, Ma can be removed from Liangzhou. "

Han Sui said with regret: "it's true. If Ma Chao dies, the Ma family can be removed. Alas, if Ma Teng and Ma Chao are captured, it will be easy. But Ma Teng was taken, and Ma Xiu didn't know his life or death. Alas, a pity, a pity

A cold look flashed in Yang Cong's eyes and suggested: "general, Ma Chao's troops are only more than 3000. Now, we are much stronger than Ma Chao. What if we win Ma Chao first

"No way!"

Han Sui immediately denied it.

Han Sui's eyes were wise and said: "first, Ma Chao is very brave. Without Yan Xingzai, no one in our army can kill him. If Ma Chao wants to leave Chencang, I can't stop him. "

"When Ma Chao returns to Liangzhou first, our own rear will be in chaos."

"I can't afford the consequences."

"Second, now we are at the critical moment of fighting against Zhang Xiu. To deal with Ma Chao is to destroy the city wall. And when we fight Ma Chao, we will lose a lot of troops. "

"Now, Ma Chao is bound to hate Zhang Xiu because of the feud between the Ma family and Zhang Xiu. Why not resist Zhang Xiu with the help of Ma Chao? It's very difficult to resist Zhang Xiu just because of our strength. "

Han Sui was very resourceful and said, "it's all in a hurry. In particular, although Ma Chao is brave, he is not as resourceful as Ma Teng. Ma Teng seems simple and honest, but in fact he is extremely cunning and difficult to deal with. Ma Chao is different. Although he is brave, he is brave but not resourceful. It's not difficult to deal with Ma Chao. "

Yang Cong said: "the general is wise!"

Han Sui ordered: "you go to summon the soldiers stationed at each gate to strengthen their guard. In addition, they also sent sentries to make a close investigation of Zhang Xiu. Now, Ben will go to meet Ma Chao for a while to find out the situation. "

"Here it is

Yang Cong was ordered to turn back.
