Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 236: Heavy casualties
An hour before the end of the Battle of Xuzhou, news of the imminent defeat of the army of Langya Kingdom came from Xuzhou, and the entire Eastern Han Dynasty was a sensation!
It is well known that Chu Zimou and Tao Qian **** the Xuzhou Shepherd, and Chu Zimou did not hide his ambitions at all, so the princes of the entire Eastern Han Dynasty will pay attention to the results of the battle of Xuzhou, intentionally or not.
Therefore, when the news of the defeat of the Langya army came out, Chutian's competitors had mixed feelings.
Mingguan, the prefect of Liaodong, has always regarded Chutian as a strong enemy, and his ranking in the Eastern Han district has now dropped to fifth place, because the population of Liaodong is not as good as that of Guannei.
Territorial rankings do not represent military strength. Mingguan, who had a large number of cavalry and fierce general Chang Yuchun, believed that his military strength was second only to Chutian.
He heard that his most powerful opponent fell under the onslaught of the 200,000 Xuzhou coalition forces, and he couldn't help feeling: "Chu Zimou, I'm here to defeat the lord of Gaoli, and I still want to join hands with you to destroy it in the future. Goryeo stick, who robbed Goryeo women back, I didn’t expect your pace of competition in the Central Plains to come to an abrupt end... It is a blessing for us that you fell early, but it may also be a pity. Without a decent opponent, in the future It's really lonely."
Old Qin Jiujiu, the city lord of Xianyang City in Guanzhong, shook his head when he heard the news: "After all, the power of a county will not be able to compete with the power of a state. If Chu Zimou were a little more mature, he would take advantage of the differences between the lords of the various counties. Instead of forcibly going south, he will not end up like this. I also want to play with you in the Central Plains in the future. Without a strong opponent in the future, life is really boring.”
When Prince Wen, the prefect of Jiyin from Yanzhou's anti-Cao Cao alliance, heard that Chu Zimou, who supported him to fight Cao Cao, was defeated, his mood was even more mixed. Without the support of Chu Zimou, it would be difficult for him to defeat the cunning Cao Mengde: "You supported me to engage in Cao Cao, but I haven't officially started on my side, but you were beaten by the Xuzhou coalition forces..."
Hu Ma, the lord of Taiyuan County in Bingzhou, learned of the news of Le Yi's appearance in the Eastern Han Dynasty: "I don't know if Le Yi's ability is stronger, or my Lian Po's ability is stronger? Chu Zimou, originally I wanted to use Lian Po to defeat him. You, it's a pity."
All the princes and lords who had Chutian as their potential rivals were more or less relieved when they heard the news of Langya's defeat.
Chu Zimou brought enormous pressure to the various princes in the Eastern Han region.
All the princes who can rise have the ability and ambition, no one will make mistakes easily, they will see who can expand faster. If Chu Zimou became the first foreign state shepherd, then as long as he farmed in Xuzhou for a few years, the money he had saved would be enough to support his army to sweep across the area south of the Yellow River, unstoppable.
Therefore, the destruction of Langya Kingdom is a good thing for most princes.
All they regret is the lack of a formidable opponent in the future.
All the princes just breathed a sigh of relief. An hour later, the latest news came from Xuzhou - the Langya army turned defeat into victory and defeated the 200,000 Xuzhou coalition forces. The battle of Xuzhou ended with a tragic victory for the Langya country!
Come on!
All the lords who were still feeling pity just now couldn't help but curse.
Not only did Chu Zimou not fall, he would become an even more formidable competitor!
In Qu County, Mi Zhu learned that the army of the Langya Kingdom, commanded by Chu Zimou, had won the battle of Xuzhou.
Judging from the current situation, the victorious Chutian is likely to go south to attack Tancheng and Xiapi, and replace Tao Qian as Xuzhou shepherd!
The elites of the various lords of Xuzhou suffered heavy losses, and it was difficult to form a powerful coalition to resist the army of Langya Kingdom.
"I've said it long ago, it should be helpful."
Mi Fang is very proud of her judgment. His judgment is simply accurate!
Mi Zhu seemed to realize something: "Let's go to meet with Chu Zimou as soon as possible. I think he would like our help very much. He is very weak now."
The relatively simple-minded Mi Fang wondered: "What do you mean?"
Mi Zhu whispered: "He needs troops and money."
Mi Zhu and Mi Fang led the rebel army to leave Quxian and took the initiative to join the army of Chutian. Mi Zhu also ordered boxes of gold and silver to be loaded into the carriage. He knew that now Chutian will definitely need gold and silver. The investment at this time can bring him huge returns in the future.
He Mizhu has nothing but money.
Because of the victory of the Battle of Xuzhou, Chutian's reputation is huge in the East China Sea, and the rebels and horse teams of the Mi Zhu and Mi Fang brothers run rampant in the East China Sea, quickly approaching Chutian's army!
Tancheng, where Le Yi was stationed and gained control over the 30,000 defenders of Tancheng. Tao Qian entrusted Le Yi to lead 30,000 soldiers to guard Tancheng and prevent the Langya army from retaliation.
Le Yi's ability is obvious to all, and only he can block the army of Langya Kingdom.
"I didn't expect that they still have a support army, and the support army seems to be able to boost the morale of the friendly army. If I had a better general at that time, or if my special arms could be recruited, the Battle of Xuzhou would not have been like this. result."
Le Yi was deeply troubled by the collapse of Song Jiang of the left wing.
If it wasn't for the collapse of the left wing, the central army and the right wing would not necessarily collapse. Not afraid of strong opponents, but afraid of weak teammates.
"Chu Zimou's army will soon go south, and the defensive fortifications in Tancheng must be strengthened. The decrease in the number of defenders in the city may be a good thing. The food that used to be two months can now be eaten for more than a year. Hold on for a year. There will be many changes in time.”
Le Yi is ready to stick to Tancheng for a long time.
If Chu Tian wanted to attack Tao Qian, the captive of Xiapi, he had to attack the city of Batan.
If Le Yi knew that Chu Tian wanted to capture him the most, not Tao Qian, he probably wouldn't have held Tancheng.
In the battlefield south of Liangshan Town, Chu Tian ordered soldiers to clean up the battlefield, count the prisoners, and prepare to take Tancheng in one go.
However, this battle exhausted everyone's physical strength. In order to prevent Le Yi from leading his troops to return for a sneak attack, Chutian and his party prepared to rest in Liangshan Town or Jiqiu County.
A decisive battle destroyed the morale of the opponent, and it would take a long time for the Xuzhou coalition forces to recover and restore morale. And this period of time was enough for Chutian to surround Tancheng.
"The last general is incompetent and has no physical strength to pursue Yang Ye, please make atonement for your sins!"
Xue Rengui informed Chu Tian that Yang Ye led the cavalry to escape.
"Don't blame yourself. When Yang Wudi led 10,000 light cavalry into Langya, we couldn't capture him alive."
Chu Tian knew that Yang Ye's cavalry had never been defeated at the time of the battle, and he had also eliminated 2,000 Xue Rengui's cavalry, making him a great enemy.
Le Yi was also not captured alive, because Le Yi personally led the Danyang soldiers and about 20,000 soldiers to fight and retreat, and Zhao Yun and Hua Mulan's cavalry had no physical strength to pursue Le Yi all the way. Not only were the people sleepy, but the horses were also starved, and a large number of war horses fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Thinking of Le Yi, Chu Tian gritted his teeth with hatred.
This kind of commander falls into his own hands, and the enemy suffers, and falls into the enemy's hands, and he suffers.
"Lu Zhi is exhausted and falls to the ground!"
"Can you be ill?"
"It's just a matter of losing strength. It's not a big problem."
When Chu Tian learned that Lu Zhi, the hero of the battle, was fine, the stone in his heart fell.
Lu Zhi broke through Song Jiang's phalanx and almost turned the tables with one person.
Even though Le Yi failed to make a comeback because Le Yi personally arrived to command the right wing, he succeeded in holding Le Yi back, providing an opportunity for the Women's Army to break through the enemy's infantry left wing.
Without Lu Zhi and Le Yi personally commanding the left wing, the Women's Army would still have no chance.
It can be said that Lu Zhi is one of the heroes of the final comeback.
If Lu Zhi, who was well-known in the Eastern Han Dynasty, died in this battle, then the families in the Eastern Han Dynasty would definitely be a sensation.
Chu Tian personally went to check on Lu Zhi's situation, and several personal soldiers were taking care of Lu Zhi.
"Master Lu has made great contributions, and Zimou has no way of repaying it. When he returns to Xiacheng, he will definitely build a mansion for Master Lu, and record his military exploits for future generations to remember."
Chu Tian is grateful to Lu Zhi, who sees death as home.
Lu Zhi is not a pedantic and disgusting Confucian, but an upright and military-minded great Confucian.
"Zimou doesn't have to spend a lot of time. Originally, I thought that I could make a difference in troubled times by going out of the mountains. But this battle also made me know that my physical strength can't keep up with your young people, and I will still live in seclusion in Langya country. , be an idler."
Lu Zhi was also quite emotional.
He found that his physical fitness was far from what he used to be, and after leading a battle, he became dizzy.
The hero is late.
"Forget it, when will Master Lu get itchy in the future, he can go out to serve as a military advisor again. I don't think we will encounter such a bad situation in the future, and Master Lu will need to go into battle in person."
Chutian considers Lu Zhi's old age, he died not long after Dong Zhuo's rebellion, there is really no need to drain Lu Zhi's residual value in the last few years of his life.
When Lu Zhi defends Langya in this battle, the lord's mansion will worship Lu Zhi for free.
A hero, Chutian can still afford it.
"There are only 1,341 cavalry soldiers left..."
Hua Mulan took off her helmet, her hair was covered with a shawl, her eyes were bloodshot, and there was blood on her face.
She came to report the loss to Chu Tian, and her words were choked up.
She suddenly wanted to hug Chu Tian and cry, but her status as the lord meant that she would not dare to do so.
"Four thousand people only have more than a thousand people..."
Chutian can pass the tragic loss than imagined the picture at that time. It must be Hua Mulan who led the light cavalry to attack the enemy one after another, otherwise it would be hard to imagine that the light cavalry, known for their agility, would suffer such heavy losses.
"It's hard work."
Chu Tian didn't know how to comfort Mulan.
He glanced at the assembled generals, everyone was fighting with blood, more or less wounded.
He saw that there were knife marks on Zang Ba's face, and one of his eyes was bloody.
Probably aware of Chu Tian's sight, Zang Ba said indifferently, "Isn't it because I lost an eye? It's a blessing to survive this time!"
Sun Guan, who was also a Taishan thief, limped and survived several arrows in his body. As a military general, his vitality is much more tenacious than that of Wenchen. In addition, Sun Guan is an extremely tough general, so he survived.
Hua Xiong is even more grinning, his nose is blue and his face is swollen. He is wearing heavy armor of heavy cavalry and has a high defense, but he was hammered by Xuzhou soldiers and suffered heavy injuries.
Zhao Yun and Xue Rengui were injured, and Li Guang was no exception.
The only general who was not injured was Zhou Yafu.
Zhou Yafu, as the backbone of the battle of Langya in Xuzhou, could not put himself in danger.
If any of the fierce generals are killed, they can continue to fight, but once Zhou Yafu is killed, no one can hold the main force of Le Yi's infantry, and there is no suspense in this battle.
Le Yi also won't let himself be shot, so even after winning, the army of Langya Kingdom will not be able to catch Le Yi.
The importance of the head coach is second only to the lord. Sometimes, even the lord is the head coach.
However, Zhou Yafu, who was not injured, is also very uncomfortable now. The continuous command and high pressure exhausted his spirit, and he continued to gently soften his temples to relieve his weakness.
Fang Xuanling roughly counted the losses: "In this battle, 60,000 main force and 11,000 reinforcements were invested. Only less than 40,000 survived. The cavalry suffered the most losses, and only 4,000 cavalry remained. Xiliang There are three hundred people left in the iron cavalry..."
In a battle, all the generals were injured, and the force was directly reduced by half. Chutian has never suffered such a big loss.
Chutian regards a thousand Xiliang iron cavalry as a treasure. Because he was targeted by Le Yi, he was besieged by a steady stream of infantry, and there were only three hundred left.
"The armor of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry can be reused, but many Liangzhou horses were killed in battle. It is necessary to purchase Liangzhou horses used by the heavy cavalry from Liangzhou in order to rebuild the Xiliang Iron Cavalry."
Chu Tian thought that he would have to spend at least 100,000 taels of silver to recruit 700 Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Coupled with other losses, it is equivalent to losing hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
"The loss can be made up with loot. Except for the loot on the battlefield, the property of the other four counties is our trophy!"
After the tragic victory, Chutian's first consideration was how to make up for the loss.
Because of the losses caused by the war, it should also be made up for in the form of war.
"Contact Mi Zhu and Mi Fang and have them lead their troops to join us."
In addition to relying on plundering loot to obtain supplies~IndoMTL.com~, Chutian also resorted to all possible forces, including Mi Zhu and Mi Fang who were looting villages and towns in Guoqu County, Donghai.
The Mi family's financial resources can help Chutian to cheer up quickly.
Without money and food, it will take a lot of time to regain strength.
"Fortunately, no generals were killed... Where are Miss Xia and Li Xiuning?"
Chu Tian counted the heroes this time, but the two people who led the Niangzi army to turn the tide were not there.
Fang Xuanling replied: "They are still taking prisoners. Only by using the prisoners to replenish the troops can the size of the army be restored as soon as possible."
"Collect all the prisoners and take them south to attack Tancheng with the army."
Chutian thought that was indeed the case.
The main force of Langya Kingdom and Xiacheng's defenders were less than 40,000. It was difficult to besiege Tancheng with only this amount of troops. We could only use the prisoners of the Xuzhou coalition as cannon fodder to attack Tancheng.
The Detachment of Women captured about 4,000 or 5,000 prisoners alive and returned to the camp. The two leaders, Li Xiuning and Xia Xia Liang, were still alive.
Chu Tian personally brought people to greet him: "You have made military exploits in this battle, and I will let people record your contributions one by one, and each will be rewarded in the future."
"Lord Lord..."
Xian Xian Liang's face was pale, she saw Chu Tian, her lips moved slightly, she seemed to want to say something, but her body shook and she fell to the ground. There are two arrow shafts on the back.
