Chapter 78: Northward Rendezvous, The Quiet Before the Conspiracy
After some statistics, more than 7,000 Xianbei soldiers were killed in this battle, 10,000 young men, 20,000 old people and children were captured, and countless money and materials were seized. However, the Shanggu Army also paid a heavy price, losing more than 3,000 people. In addition to the initial raids,
A total of five thousand warriors who died in the Xianbei period were buried underground.
All the soldiers had mixed emotions. They collected the bodies of their dead brothers together, with tears in their eyes, and silently prayed for them.
"Okay, brothers! Put away your sorrow, send the fallen warriors for a final ride, and wish them to go to heaven!" Yan Liang, Gao Lan looked solemn, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, took off his helmet, and faced the warriors
Their bodies bowed deeply several times.
"Have a good journey!!!" The soldiers behind them also bowed deeply with firm eyes. At this time, they all secretly swore in their hearts that they would definitely defeat Xianbei and avenge their dead brothers.
Then! Yan Liang and Gao Lan personally held torches, cremated the corpses, and preserved them one by one. They donated their young and precious lives for their ideals, and they deserve to enter the People's Heroes Memorial Hall, where their names will last forever and be respected by thousands of people.
The army hurriedly rested here for a day before setting sail again. They were divided into two parts. One was led by Gao Lan, with a total of 5,000 people, responsible for transporting prisoners and collected materials back to Juyang. Yan Liang took the remaining
His 10,000 troops quickly headed north. Now that there were only four days left before the January deadline, he had to rush to meet up with Chen Yaotian.
…
After disbanding Ke Bineng's troops last time, Chen Yaotian issued an order again. No matter how the enemy calls out the formation, they are not allowed to fight. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed.
In the next few days, Xianbei came again several times. Seeing that the Han army was determined to defend the camp, they all cursed and left.
"The enemy hasn't come to call for formation for two days!" Chen Yaotian walked in the stronghold, checking the surrounding guards from time to time. Then he stopped at the entrance of the stronghold and said to Zhang He who was following behind him.
"Yes, I wonder what trick Shi Huai wants to play?" Zhang He frowned.
Today, Zhang He was responsible for the security of the entire camp. Chen Yaotian got up in the morning and was restless. He always felt that something was going to happen. So he went out to check the security in person to see if there were any omissions.
"Alas, Trembling Stone Sophora knows strategy very well, and does not have the impulsive and warlike character of the Xianbei people. Our military strength is now absolutely weak, so we can only sit back and wait for Yan Liang and Gao Lan to come." Chen Yaotian sighed, thinking of the last defeat.
The battle of Kebineng was almost planned, and his face looked solemn.
"It doesn't matter that Shi Huai has a strategy. My lord, you are superior. Ke Bineng lost three thousand men." Zhang He looked at Chen Yaotian without any compliment.
"You are wrong. In real terms, the biggest winner in that battle is Shi Huai."
"Lord, what do you mean?" Gao Lan asked confused.
"Think about it, through going to battle, Trembling Stone Sophora has known our army's combat power, and will not take it lightly anymore. This is just one of the reasons. Second, Kebineng has always wanted to compete for the Xianbei Khan, and Trembling Stone Sophora is trying to use us
He became a gunman to weaken the strength of his biggest problem. Originally, he planned to have Bu Dugen come and destroy our gun after using it up, but he never thought that our gun was too sharp and could not be used by Bu Dugen before he could use it.
When Du Gen comes, Ke Bineng has already discarded his armor." Chen Yaotian's words made him almost guess Jia Yanyu's plan.
"According to my lord's analysis, Shi Huai really shouldn't be underestimated." Zhang He no longer looked down upon him.
"Since I took office as the prefect of Shanggu, although every battle has small flaws, it can still be regarded as a great victory. This has created a arrogant spirit among all the soldiers, including you. You know, arrogant soldiers will be defeated. We should
Despise the enemy strategically and attach great importance to the enemy tactically, and you must not make mistakes for this." Chen Yaotian taught him earnestly and sincerely.
Zhang He responded repeatedly, and then began to change the topic.
"Lord, we have closed the camp every day and the morale of the soldiers is declining rapidly. I wonder if General Yan and the others can come within the agreed time."
"Haha... they don't need to worry. I received a message from a flying eagle a few days ago. Gao Lan described the general situation in it. I believe he can go north to join us in less than three days."
