Chapter 914

Of course, during the retreat, in addition to taking away the corpse of his zepao, the soldiers of Yuan Shu army also took away all the heavy armor and weapons. You know, these armor weapons are not ordinary equipment. But Yuan Shu soldiers in addition to watching, no one dare to act rashly.

A quarter of an hour later, all the soldiers of Anton's army had retreated to the south of the battlefield, and more than a mile to the north, the figure of Ji Ling's army was more and more clear. At this time, Huang Wudi also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he immediately ordered the army to retreat. Otherwise, the army must have been stopped by Yuan Shu's army, and it would have been irresistible by then. The final result must be heavy losses, or even the destruction of the whole army.

Huang wudie stands there quietly with 20000 troops, watching Ji Ling lead 50000 troops to approach quickly, and then stop on the battlefield. After a pause, Ji Ling leaves 10000 troops to help Ji Bao's remnant soldiers clean the battlefield, but he continues to lead 40000 troops to approach Huang wudie's army slowly.

Seeing Ji Ling continue to approach, Huang Wudi is not afraid. The troops are soldiers. Although they have been fighting for more than an hour, they are a little tired, but Ji Ling's troops are not much better. You know, from the morning until now, when they rush here, the soldiers' physical strength can't support a big war.

Looking back at the direction of the wounded soldiers' departure, Huang Wuyi saw that they had already arrived two miles away. With a wave of his hand, he ordered: "the Tujia soldiers stay to monitor the movements of Ji lingbu's troops, and the rest of the troops withdraw alternately! Join the general's army

After that, the army retreated slowly, leaving nearly 3000 Tujia soldiers to monitor the whereabouts of Ji Ling's army. After retreating two miles away, the other soldiers chased after most of the Chinese army.

On the battlefield two miles away, Ji Ling reined in his horse and looked at Anton's army with a dignified look, but he didn't order the army to pursue him. It's not that he didn't want to pursue, but that he didn't expect that Anton's army would withdraw suddenly, so he didn't prepare at all. Since the army left the camp in the morning, it's almost noon now, and it's exhausted.

Anton's army is different. Now that they are ready to retreat, they will certainly be ready. If they lead their own troops to catch up and pursue with tens of thousands of exhausted troops, and the other side is waiting for work, they will not be able to get good. The reason why he ordered the army to March quickly at the beginning was that he hoped to leave behind the tens of thousands of broken troops. Unfortunately, he was still a little late, so Ji Ling just watched the Anton army retreat quietly.

He wanted the army to rest for a while, just waiting for lunch and dry food. As early as he set out, he had ordered the camp and Anfeng city to prepare the army's lunch, and then sent it here as soon as possible. When the army had finished lunch, it was almost finished. He could take some dry food with him to pursue again. The truth is that sharpening the sword does not miss the firewood cutter, and the Anton army carries a lot of luggage, so it can't be fast.

However, Ji Ling was stunned by Ji Bao's report. With 30000 soldiers and 3000 cavalry, in the end, there were less than 10000 people left. Three thousand cavalry were lost, leaving less than ten thousand soldiers. Among them, there are more than 2000 heavy infantry and more than 6000 ordinary infantry. In addition, I have brought more than 50000 troops, and now I have less than half of my 100000 troops in a few days.

However, if we add in nearly ten thousand troops of the rear army and nearly eighty thousand troops of the Jiling army, and remove more than ten thousand wounded soldiers, we can use about seventy thousand troops. What Ji Ling didn't know was that just when he was surprised at the loss of the army, Huangfu Chaobo was also surprised at the loss of the army.

The battle report of Huang Wudi's army has been reported to Huangfu Chaobo by the Turkmen for the first time. 23000 troops blocked the army, resulting in 2000 cavalry losses and 10000 soldiers losses. After a scuffle, they lost 5000 troops. When these troops finally retreated, there were only 23000 troops left, including 3000 cavalry and 20000 soldiers.

This is only the loss of the army caused by today's war. Since the beginning of the war in Anfeng and Yulou, the loss of Anfeng battlefield has been nearly ten thousand, Yulou battlefield has been more than ten thousand, and the loss of barracks defense these days has been nearly ten thousand. So far, the loss of Anton army has exceeded fifty thousand.

That is to say, there are more than 70000 soldiers that Huangfu Chaobo can use now. After subtracting more than 6000 soldiers from Zhang Ying's department and nearly 10000 wounded soldiers, he can now use about 50000 taxis.

On the surface, it seems that the forces of both sides are basically and beginning to change little, but these days, Ji Ling's army has mostly lost ordinary soldiers and horses, especially the garrison and the city guard. However, his elite soldiers and horses have lost very little, only the heavy infantry has lost about 8000, and the rest of the soldiers and the imperial guards are basically intact. So now Ji Ling's tens of thousands of troops are basically destroyed They are all elite.

But Anton's army is different. Today's army is more than 50000, and Huangfu Chaobo's guards are about 15000, with more than 20000 soldiers and more than 10000 guards. As for the players, their troops are basically exhausted, and only their own personal guards are barely complete, which adds up to only about 3000 troops. Therefore, the gap between the two armies in terms of military strength comparison has become even greater.

This is also why Huangfu Chaobo and Pang Tong Guo Jia agreed that they must form an array to block the Jiling army at the crossing. The gap between the two armies is increasing. Without the help of the positions set up in advance, it is difficult to stop the attack of Jiling army.Only by fighting against the back of the river can we meet the Jedi!

When Huang Wudi led the 20000 troops to the meeting of the Chinese army, it was about 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon. At this time, Huangfu Chaobo's army had arranged its defense. Just 200 steps away from the river, thousands of civilians have dug three miles long trenches. Although the trench is not deep, it can well prevent Ji Lingjun's group from advancing.

Behind the trench, hundreds of wagons were lined up, end to end, and became another defense line. The wagons were covered with soil dug out from the trench, and the wagons were piled up into a breast wall. Behind the breast wall were two rows of shield men and long spearmen, and behind them were archers of various departments.

In the future, there are more than 1000 wagons that are still preparing to cross the river. Although they have been built with all the efforts of the people who patrol the Zhangying army, there are as many as eight floating bridges on the river, but for more than 2000 wagons, it will take nearly two hours to cross the river.
