The barbarians retreated.

For the Black Tiger Army, it was a temporary opportunity to breathe.

Regarding this.

Chu Ding had expected it.

The barbarians invaded Dahuang Mansion not just for the small city of Jincheng, but to capture a wider area.

Millions of barbarians.

Although the number seems to be large, in fact, it is not impossible for Da Qin to resist.

If tens of thousands of barbarians were lost in front of a Jincheng city, it would obviously not be in the interest of the barbarians.

so.

A short break is necessary.

The real decisive battle will begin when the barbarians finish their rest and launch another round of offensive.

"All the wounded should retreat and be bandaged. In addition, the Huotou Army should be notified to cook. Make sure that everyone's physical strength is replenished in time. At the same time, arrange for those who have finished their rest to guard the city wall to prevent barbarian sneak attacks.

Also, clean up the battlefield."

Chu Ding calmly gave the order.

Suddenly.

All the Black Tiger troops began to clear the corpses on the city wall.

If it is the corpse of a compatriot, it is carried aside and placed; if it is the corpse of the enemy, it is thrown directly onto the city wall.

Within a quarter of an hour, all the corpses piled up on the city wall had been cleared.

But there was no way to remove the traces of condensed blood.

Mottled bloodstains.

There is a strong smell of blood permeating from it.

Immediately afterwards.

It’s the changing of the guard at the city wall.

Jincheng, in the Black Tiger Army camp.

Chu Ding was shirtless and allowed others to help bandage and treat his wounds. He casually discarded the blood-stained armor aside.

underneath him.

The person sitting there is the person who has the right to speak in Jincheng now.

Nie Xu, the magistrate of the county.

Tianchawei Guanshi Zhongchi.

And several captains of the Black Tiger Army.

Originally, there were about ten thousand captains in the twelve thousand Black Tiger Army. Unfortunately, in the previous battle, several died at the hands of the barbarians, and less than half remained.

Although warriors in the Tongmai realm are powerful.

But in the rebel army, they are just stronger than ordinary people.

Killed in action.

Nothing could be more ordinary.

The atmosphere in the camp is now very solemn.

"What are the casualties of our troops?"

Chu Ding looked at the captains and asked calmly.

The words fell.

The scene became somewhat quiet again.

After a long time, Wen Ce finally handed him over and replied.

"General, our army has a total of 2,125 killed and 3,732 wounded!"

call!

When Wen Ce finished speaking, someone let out a long sigh.

Out of the 12,000 Black Tiger Army, only over 6,000 people are left intact.

That is to say.

The battle at night left the Black Tiger Army half disabled.

Chu Ding's face seemed to darken a bit, but it soon returned to normal.

"Are there any statistics on the gains?"

"There is no way to make statistics for the time being, but looking at the situation on the battlefield, the casualties of the barbarians are at least one to two times that of ours."

Wen Ce shook his head.

Now that the war is not over, it is simply impossible to compile statistics in this regard.

Based on his experience, he could basically tell how much damage the barbarians had suffered.

"In other words, the 120,000 barbarians, not counting the injured, suffered losses of about half at most, while our army lost almost 30%. This battle is indeed difficult enough."

Chu Ding sighed.

30% to 50%, the gap is not as big as usual.

And when the gap between the numbers of the two sides becomes larger, the casualty ratio will become even greater.

Nie Xu looked heavy: "It's only half a day, but Jincheng's losses have been so great. Not to mention fighting for two days, I'm afraid we may not be able to withstand the next barbarian attack."

"It's normal not to be able to resist."

Compared to Nie Xu's heaviness, Zhong Chi was much calmer.

The current situation has long been expected by him.

Tianchawei mainly collects intelligence, and Zhongchi is also very clear about the strength assessment of the two armies.

Jincheng.

It is absolutely impossible to resist the barbarian army.

That's why he proposed to evacuate the people first to avoid causing too many casualties when Jincheng was breached in the future.

"The only question now is how long Jincheng can hold out and whether General Chu has thought of a way out!"

In Zhongchi's opinion.

Although the Black Tiger Army is defending Jincheng, it may not fight to the last soldier.

How exactly.

It depends on how Chu Ding decides.

As a member of the Tiancha Guard, it was the utmost benevolence for him to stay and help in the battle, but when the city was really about to be defeated, he might not necessarily stay and live or die with Jincheng.

Fight when it's time to fight.

Go when it's time to go.

It's just that it's not the last moment in Jincheng yet, and Zhongchi won't really leave now.

Hear the words.

Chu Ding's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "In half a day, the retreating people have not gone very far. If Jincheng is defeated and the barbarian army catches up, they will definitely be dead.

If the barbarians take a rest now, we will probably have an hour or two of peace.

All that's left is to hold on and fight fiercely to buy some time for Dahuang Mansion and the retreating people."

"There are many corpses outside the city, and the wall of Jincheng is not high. If too many people die in the battle, it is easy for the barbarians to pile up the corpses and climb directly onto the city wall. What should we do?"

A captain asked in a deep voice.

Wait until he finishes.

Chu Ding spoke.

"Don't forget, our main purpose is to delay time, not to defend a city wall. If the barbarian offensive is really irresistible, then let them in. With our familiarity with Jincheng, we can also follow

They circle around."

Let the barbarians enter the city!

Hearing this, everyone looked startled.

The next moment.

Someone reacted.
