286. The hero is respectable
The scout took a few deep breaths and slowly told the whole battle to Boyan and Yesuer with a crying voice.
He was a scout. He did not join the battle at that time, but wandered around the battlefield to observe the situation.
Yue Peng and the others led the army to arrive, how to destroy the Wumeng army, how Simutuo and Lu Yu arrived and how to fight, it can be said that the scout saw it. He watched his iron cavalry gain the advantage, but in the end he was defeated by the Song army's Shenlong Gun and the Sky Thunder.
Wumeng, Simutu, Wang Bo, Hutole and other Yuan generals must not be said to be brave. They led the Iron Cavalry to fight with the Song army, and did not withdraw from the army from beginning to end. This is enough to show that they are all iron-blooded generals. Especially Wumeng, when he was left with only hundreds of soldiers under his command, he still launched a charge to thousands of troops such as Yue Peng, Su Quandang, etc., and his courage and integrity can be imagined.
However, war is war, and one cannot win with courage and integrity.
He can be said that although he was defeated, he was still honored, but in the end he was defeated.
The scout couldn't help crying as he spoke.
Yesuer sat heavily on the chair, Bo Yan's face turned pale and speechless for a long time.
No one blamed the scout for crying. The man did not cry easily, but he had not reached the sad place.
I watched tens of thousands of robes who slept and ate together and died, and few could bear it.
Failed...
Dead...
Failed...
In Yesuer's mind, these words kept lingering and tormenting her.
She regretted it very much, why didn't she send more soldiers to pursue the Song army, but at this time, she was already full of regret.
And Boyan was also secretly annoyed why he didn't send troops out to pursue the Song army.
Even though the soldiers under Yesuer were killed, he felt uncomfortable. He was also an important official of the Yuan Dynasty and the commander of the army, so he should share the honor and disgrace with Yesuer. Such a great defeat was enough to make their victory in Wuzhou dim.
Wumeng has 50,000, Simufu has 30,000, but this is a total of 80,000 iron cavalry, and it is gone.
Even if they have many soldiers and a wide range of generals, how many times can they withstand such losses?
He and Yesuer led a total of 420,000 troops to attack Song. In Wutongling, Kong Yuan and 20,000 troops were killed first. Following closely, the 30,000 troops in Duanxi City were also removed by Zhao Dongting's Tianxian Army, and Boyan only had 150,000 troops left. In the past few days of attacking the city, he and Yesuer had all paid about 20,000 soldiers. In addition, the current losses of these 80,000 soldiers, at present, they only had about 250,000 troops left.
This was something they had never thought about before they came to Guangnan West Road.
The Song army had only 150,000, so how could they have expected that the war had just passed and that our side would suffer such losses.
In addition to Tohoer, he led 40,000 soldiers in Hanjin County, there were only more than 200,000 Yuan troops left in Wuzhou City.
Although the Song army also suffered heavy losses, it was obviously much lighter than them.
This made Deyesuer and Boyan no longer feel the joy of taking Wuzhou.
Looking back at last night's celebration banquet, I always feel full of irony.
After a few minutes, Yesuer slapped his palm on the desk and shouted to the outside of the hall: "Beat the drum and gather troops, I will lead the army out of the city in person!"
"Deputy coach!"
Boyan quickly shouted from the side, saying, "It is not advisable to be impulsive at this time!"
Yesuer's eyes turned red and she almost screamed: "If the Song army is not destroyed, how can I explain to the 80,000 dead souls under my command?"
Boyan said heavily: "Song army, we will be destroyed. But, now you can still catch up with the Song army?"
Yesuer was stunned.
Why didn't she think of this?
However, she really didn't know how to vent her grief and anger at this time.
Boyan hurriedly said, "At this moment, all our soldiers are exhausted and should rest. The Song army is also suffering heavy casualties. We should not be distracted at such a moment. After the army is rested, we will march again and defeat the Song army to avenge the soldiers."
Yesuer closed his eyes slightly, "Then I'll let Tohoer lead his soldiers to stop Wen Tianxiang, is that OK?"
Boyan sighed, "There are many Song troops stationed in Duanxi City. Do you think that Tohoer can complete the task?"
Yesuer said nothing.
Even Wu Meng led a 50,000 army to pursue him and his entire army was wiped out. Can Tuoheer and his troops eliminate the Song army?
Even she didn't have any confidence in her heart.
The Song army no longer deals as much as before.
Boyan stopped Yesuer in front and said, "Deputy Commander, let Tohoer lead his army to Wuzhou! This battle requires long-term planning."
He also didn't have much confidence in his heart.
Although his troops still have a great advantage, if he is not careful, he always feels that he may be reversed by the Song army.
Yesuer threw the sword heavily to the ground, his face full of annoyance.
She really didn't understand how this battle would be like this.
The great defeat of Wumeng and Simutuo can be said to have completely disrupted her plan.
On the official road.
Many birds circling in the sky, ready to fall down at any time to eat the dense corpses on the ground.
It is still covered with a sad atmosphere.
The surviving soldiers of the Song army had already woken up, but looking at the corpses all over the ground, they felt at a loss.
They also suffered heavy losses.
There are more than 20,000 Yuan troops led by Yue Peng, Su Quandang, Zhang Hongwei and Lu Yu, with a total of more than 100,000 people. At present, there are only less than 20,000 people left.
There are so many people lying down than those standing...
Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue were not asleep all night, and both of them were red in their eyes.
At this time, Yue Peng, Su Quandang, Zhang Hongwei, Lu Yu, Jin Hao, and Ge Xiuhong, the only commanders were all sitting next to them.
The other generals were instructing the soldiers who had just woken up to clean up the bodies on the ground.
This was an order issued by Zhao Dongting himself. As long as he still has enough energy, he must clear the battlefield after the war.
What does it mean to have more energy?
In the army, as long as there are still soldiers surviving, they will still have enough energy!
Of course, even without Zhao Dongting's order, Wen Tianxiang, Yue Peng and the others would probably do the same.
There is no reason for the fallen soldiers to throw their bodies away in the wilderness after their deaths and let birds and beasts eat them. Even those Yuan troops are worthy of respect.
They are not unforgivable people, but heroes who are in the bloody battlefield.
This is a war that has nothing to do with justice or not. It is related to it, just a position, and a nation.
Both sides are fighting for their own country.
Wu Meng and his men's fearlessness can also make Yue Peng and the others respect it.
If the two sides had not had different positions, perhaps with their personalities, they might be able to become good friends.
Suddenly, Wen Tianxiang whispered: "Come the corpses of the Yuan army generals and erect a monument for them here!"
"Um!"
Yue Peng nodded heavily and stood up to walk towards the soldiers who had packed the bodies.
Zhang Jue said: "That... General Qi and the others' bodies..."
Wen Tianxiang said: "It is burned into ashes and brought back to Hanjin."
Everyone's face was very serious.
Wuzhou City was lost and there were heavy losses here. In fact, the Song army could not be said to be a victory in this battle, and even a miserable victory should not be considered.
With the remaining military horses of the Song Dynasty, they are still at a great disadvantage.
Zhang Jue pondered and said, "What should we do after we rushed to Hanjin?"
He knew that Wen Tianxiang was best at leading the army to deal with the Yuan army, so at this time, Wen Tianxiang was the main focus.
Wen Tianxiang looked into the sky and sighed, "Let's talk about it first. The emperor should have learned that Wuzhou is lost, and perhaps superstition has spread to Duanxi."
Zhang Jue nodded and didn't say anything.
The corpses all over the ground made the place extremely depressed, as if they were afraid of disturbing the heroic souls lingering around them.
The soldiers were also silent and buried their heads in cleaning up the bodies on the ground.
The Shenlong guns, thunder chariots, etc. were also collected again by them. These were the fundamental reason for the Song Dynasty's resistance to the Yuan army and could not be missed.
The armor on the fallen soldiers was also stripped off.
Although I couldn't bear it, this was something I had to do. The Song Dynasty's national strength is weak and its domestic resources are limited, so there is no capital to squander.
The deep breath of sadness will last for a long time in the wind.
