The fierce battle between Sanshui army and Duji army continued from the afternoon until it was dark. By this time, the inner wall of Duji army could not be found. Only a long corpse pile was built up between the two armies. Blood flowed from the corpse pile and mixed in the surrounding soil, making the battlefield ground extremely muddy. It took a lot of strength to step on it You can pull your legs out. Soon, the blood coagulates, makes the land condense into dark red soil blocks, and then, there is new blood pouring over.
The battle has reached this level. It is a nightmare for the soldiers of both sides, and it is also a test for the commanders of both sides. Now, it is no longer the combat strength of the whole army, but the willpower. It depends on who can hold on and who can survive.
In this competition, rami azabao defeated Liang Qi. Rami azabao had to bite his teeth and stick to it, but he had no way to retreat, but Liang Qi was not. He had backhand and reinforcements to count on. He would not and could not exchange the lives of the whole army for this tragic victory.
After the war, Liang Qi took the lead in issuing an order to withdraw troops. This order was good news for both sides of the enemy. After such a fierce battle for a whole day, the officers and men of both sides were exhausted, and everything in front of them was double shadow, and their legs were suddenly shaking.
When the third water army retreated, the general of Duji army also ordered the whole army to pursue and kill them. However, the soldiers below could not bear it. Many of them fell down in the blood mud and lay on the ground without moving. Some of them vomited, and they did not know whether they were tired or disgusted by the mountain corpses in front of them.
After the fierce battle, what remained was an extraordinary tranquility. The Fengjun camp and the Duji camp were silent. The corpse collecting teams of both sides went out one after another to collect the bodies of their own dead soldiers on the battlefield. This is the only time when the wind forces don't have to fight each other in the dugey camp.
Rushan's corpses were separated and transported away by people. It is estimated that there are no less than 40000 corpses left by the two armies. Neither army has taken advantage of the other. It is basically half of the Feng army and half of the Du Ji army, which is exactly the sentence of "you die a thousand, I die eight hundred.".
Back at the barracks, Liang Qi immediately asked people to count their own casualties. The total number of casualties of Sanshui army in this battle was as high as 22000, and the number of wounded soldiers was more than 10000. The total number of casualties was more than 35000, which was the biggest battle of Sanshui army since it entered TIA.
After reading the casualty statistics, Liang Qi sighed for a long time. After a long time, the other side opened his eyes and said, "take back the bodies of our soldiers who died in battle as soon as possible. In addition, general Guan Tang told him not to get too close to Val Town, so that he could find a hiding place ten miles away from Val town to stay temporarily."
"Yes! General On one side, Bai Yong bowed his hand to answer the way.
Shangguan yuanrang said: "after only one battle, the casualties of our army are so heavy. The crossbows and stone bullets made by us have been exhausted. How can we fight next?"
"Fight?" Liang Qi laughed bitterly, where can we go on a strong attack in this battle? Du Ji's army is too strong and on the defensive. He is afraid that the whole army of his side is exhausted, and he may not be able to fight down the Duji camp. He shakes his head and says, "our army can no longer make a strong attack. On the fifth watch day, our army abandons the camp and retreats."
Shangguan yuanrang stamped his feet with force, but he was unwilling to admit that his side and Du Jijun did not have any advantage in confrontation. He dropped his head and said no more.
Looking at the left and right, Liang Qihuan said, "we must retreat quickly, or we will be overtaken by the enemy if we can't go far. All the supplies in the army, as long as they are not necessary goods, will be left behind."
Hearing this, Shangguan yuan asked angrily, "all left to Du Jijun?"
Liang Qi said, "just deposit! When we defeat the enemy's main force, we will regain it. "
"Hum!" Shangguan yuan let hum, and sat down angrily, leaning his head, looking away.
It was not until the third watch that the wind army's corpse collection team took all the dead soldiers' bodies back to the camp. They didn't have to look at the corpses. Only the collected military cards contained ten small boxes. It was impossible to carry so many corpses during the retreat, and TIA was too far away from the native land of Fengguo. The corpses would rot on the way back. Liang Qi ordered that the corpses be burned on the spot, and the ashes of the dead soldiers would be brought back to China after the war.
More than 20000 corpses were not easy to burn. They were cremated in batches. Fortunately, in the early days of the Feng army, there was more logging, so there was no need to look for firewood now.
Liang Qi, Shangguan yuanrang and Bai Yong were all present at the scene.
Looking at the piled up bodies gradually covered by the fire, shangguanyuan let his bright eyes reflect the leaping fire. He sighed and murmured: "they are all my warriors with strong wind!"
Liang Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "yes."
"But who will remember them?"
Liang Qi was silent for a moment and said, "the country."
"If there was no war, they would not have died."
"Only when we believe that we are fighting for our country and the teacher of justice, can we not be overwhelmed by the pressure of war." Liang Qi turned his head and took a deep look at Shangguan yuanrang and said, "yuanrang, we have a reason to fight. The reason why we are here is to protect our country."
Shangguan yuan let smile and sighed: "it's ridiculous to stand on the territory of other countries and say that they are protecting their own country."Liang Qi was silent. Bai Yong on one side cleared his throat heavily.
Shangguan yuanrang knew that his words could be charged with disturbing the morale of the army, but he didn't care at all. He frowned and said, "in order to save TIA, I have to sacrifice so many brave men with strong wind. Who can guarantee that this war must be right?"
Liang Qi suddenly asked, "do you know why I never go too close to my brothers in the army?"
Shangguanyuan looked at him suspiciously, thought for a moment, and said, "because you are too proud and proud, you think that you are of noble birth, so you are so high"
before he finished, Liang Qi already said: "because I am afraid that the face I have memorized will never be seen after a battle. Since you join the army, you must be prepared to sacrifice for the country and the king. You must firmly believe that the decisions made by the emperor and the court are correct. Without such awareness, you don't have to stay in the army. You might as well go home and plant land. At least that is a contribution to the country. The last thing the army needs is a voice of complaint and doubt. " With these words, Liang Qi turned and walked to his camp. He waved his hands without looking back. He yawned and said, "I'm a little tired. Now I can rest for more than an hour. I'll go to take a nap."
Looking at Liang Qiyue's back, Shangguan yuan let raised his eyebrows and mumbled, "Liang Qi looks a little different today."
Bai Yong nodded, went to Shangguan yuanrang, and said in a low voice, "our army has not suffered such heavy casualties for a long time. The general must be very sad. Although the general never said that, as the commander of the first army, the general carries the lives of all the officers and soldiers, and the pressure is far greater than you and me"
"that's right." Of course, Shangguan yuanrang could understand how much pressure Liang Qi was under. Because of this, Liang Qi repeatedly gave him the most dangerous task, but he never really resented Liang Qi.
Waiting for Liang Qi's figure to disappear completely from the sight, Shangguan yuan let suddenly said: "he won't hide back in the camp to cry?"
Bai Yong was stunned and scratched his hair. He said uncertainly, "won't it?"
Shangguan yuan shook his head and said, "go! Let's go and have a look. "
"This is not suitable"
"with me, what are you afraid of?" with words, shangguanyuan asked Bai Yong to grasp Bai Yong's wrist and stride towards Liang Qi's camp.
When he got close, he didn't say hello to the guard at the door. Shangguan yuanrang ran in directly with Bai Yong.
In the camp, Liang Qi and Yi lie on the side of the bed. By the candlelight, they are concentrating on the map. As for the Shangguan yuan rang and Bai Yong who suddenly broke in recently, his face did not show the slightest surprise color, but asked lightly: "something?"
Liang qiru was calm, but let Shangguan yuanrang and Bai Yong have some accidents. The former one laughed awkwardly and said, "I'll bet general Bai whether you will run back to the camp and cry secretly"
"as a result, you are disappointed."
"You are not sad at all." Shangguan yuan let him come forward and shook his head.
Liang Qi's eyes are not on the map. Isn't it? " With that, he looked down at the map again and continued, "I hope your way of showing sadness is to cut Remy azabao's head with your knife in tomorrow's war."
Shangguan yuan let slowly clench his fist, nodded and said, "I know how to do it." With that, he winked at Bai Yong and turned to walk out.
Before he came out of the camp, Liang Qi stopped him: "Yuan rang!"
"Yes?" Shangguan yuan, let's go back.
Liang Qizheng said: "we have to come to TIA to fight with Duji army. If your faith in this war is not firm enough, say it a hundred times a day
Shangguan made his old face red and moaned and murmured, "my brain is normal." With these words, the others have walked out of the camp. Looking at Liang Qi, Bai Yong did not dare to stay, so he went out with him.
On the fifth watch, all the corpses were burned, and the remaining ashes were buried on the spot and marked. Later, Liang Qi ordered the whole army to retreat lightly, but all heavy objects were discarded.
According to his orders, the third water army of more than 70000 people left the barracks quietly and retreated to the direction of Val town with only rations.
In the process of retreat, there was no sound in the team, only the sound of the roaring footsteps could be heard, and now no one was in the mood of chatting and talking.
On the other side, camp dukey.
When it was getting light, rami azabao got up, and the first thing he did was to get out of the camp and go to the lookout tower to watch the situation of the third water army camp.
He raised his eyes and looked across. The camp of the third water army was calm and silent. Remi azabao's heart moved, a little meditation for a moment, suddenly called out: "no, the wind army is defeated!" With these words, he turned his head to the herald around him and said, "pass on our military order, leaving only 20000 troops to guard the camp. All the other officers and men will follow me to fight and pursue the Feng army!"
