Chapter four hundred and sixty seventh death 16
In fact, the battle had already ended signs and Maoduan, but because of some reason, these foreign troops of the Great Wall had persisted for a while.
Therefore, when this relatively elite cavalry of the vassal army was lured into the range of killing and completely defeated at the cost of thousands of casualties, the Hu horses on the periphery and other vassal army troops seemed to gradually lose some confidence and will to continue fighting.
Without even their own greetings and orders, they began to contact the battlefield in groups, and even left behind our army in a hurry. After leaving behind the corpses that were shot down by the row of platoons, they finally got rid of the range and threat of the guns, but they were not afraid of being killed by the iron balls that were shot from afar and were disturbed and retreated again.
In the end, they gathered together again from a longer distance, flew one after another, retreating to the distance to the city. At this time, the oxtail battle flag seized from the vassal army armored cavalry was sent to me for viewing.
Of course, our army did not pursue more. On the one hand, the other party was mostly light cavalry, and if they had all their strength, they might not be able to chase them. On the other hand, our target was still this Xuzhou City, and we needed enough mobility to maintain vigilance and restraint on the periphery. Then try to wipe out the Hu Maer and the vassal army who were still trapped in the city in disguise with the momentum of a turtle in the jar.
The next thing is relatively simple and boring. We just need to defeat the Hu Maer and the vassal army who rushed out with great effort, or drive them back together along a few breakthrough gaps.
Compared to the previous one, it could be called a difficult field battle. The street fighting and cleaning up the city blocks are undoubtedly the daily matters that we gun soldiers are more skilled and good at.
In these relatively cramped and complex terrain, the opponent is both good at maneuverability of horseback riding and hunting skills, and is seriously restricted and has fallen at a disadvantage.
In addition, foreign aids were extinct, and the city was scattered and fought against each other because of the plunder. In the face of internal and external difficulties, there was no big obstacle for us at all. The key points in the city were recaptured, and the rest was to slowly clear them.
However, the battalion officials led by Feng Juanqi still had some regrets of being inadequate, mainly because of the defeat outside the city, which was a small casualty exchange ratio expulsion battle that failed to do their best.
During the fierce battle, Hu horses and vassal troops, including beheadings and captives, were left behind at least tens of thousands of people. More than a thousand horses were seized by relatively intact mounts. Although due to long-term battles, some of them were weak and weak, they could still be driven and utilized after a period of time.
The number of casualties and injuries in our side reached more than 4,000, most of them were those who used to fill the gaps between various battle formations. The scattered corps and friendly troops were defeated and dispersed, resulting in joint casualties;
As the main component of the chain battle formation, the auxiliary brigades and main battle battalions can strictly abide by their ethics. Even if most of them are disrupted and dispersed under the impact and entanglement of the enemy, the remaining part can still maintain the stability and strictness of the basic front, and have enough manpower to replace the back team. Therefore, the number of casualties is not so ugly, and most of them are wounded, and the number of casualties is only a few hundred.
Of course, according to the new temporary praise of Zhu Wu, or the somewhat unsatisfied Du Yu Hou Zhao Long, each of them has some similar statements.
If our army, if it appears, a little delayed, or if the war is later, most of the enemy troops outside the city will rush into the city along the brink. Although the losses in the city will be greater and the attack costs will be more expensive, our subsequent results and achievements will be much richer, and even encircle them in the city and fight a beautiful annihilation battle. Even if most Hu horses are left to be buried in this city, it will not be impossible.
However, things in the world are so perfect and satisfactory. What's more, when the army is ready to move, it is like a chariot flying down a steep slope, and it is no longer so easy to stop. Therefore, I can only smile and gently expose it.
At least after this severe defeat, the Hu horses and the foreign vassal coalition forces did not have much courage or strength to make a comeback in the short term. After all, it is still a harsh winter, and the baggage and sharpness lost in this battle are not so easy to be restored and replenished.
Even the weeds used to lay horses are covered under thick snow and there is no place to look for them. Therefore, under normal circumstances, they can only choose one of the two when consuming and occupying several portions of the food quota, or when they lose weight, they are killed and reduced in order to reduce losses.
Just the banner of greeting us from the city wall surprised us a little. The five big words "Right for the camp guards" were embroidered on the purple flag.
It was them. Although they had expected this possibility, they still couldn't help but feel mixed feelings on the spot. They accidentally rescued the old troops that had fought under my command. Although they had only been more than a month since the last time they were separated and changed, it seemed that they had experienced a lot of things between each other.
However, the remaining people who ran out to meet did not seem to have such unnecessary thoughts and shouted familiar names, and hugged and cheered together almost happily.
I only found out later,
In fact, many of them were not easily moved, or the old army who believed that they were firm in their hearts, couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment. As the saying goes, even the generals who were directly under them had given up. In the end, it was only by relying on the old army to help them stay away from the desperate situation. This is such a kind of joy and joy, and a complex mood of fear and shame.
Although this is a coincidence and accidental result, I have no reason or need to expose it, pierce these soldiers who have survived the disaster, beautiful expectations and hopes.
Then I made an announcement with the flow, and I expressed my expectations for their return to my command.
Although it is said that being a general and a general, it is the most basic requirement to be good at advancing and retreating and knowing choices. However, as the saying goes, people are not plants or trees, nor are they sages. There are always some bottom line that they have to stick to or things that they have to do.
A general who refuses to give up his subordinates easily may be a certain opportunity or a weakness that can be taken advantage of for the enemy, but for the subordinates, it is undoubtedly a trustworthy advantage and quality. After all, time does not have so many perfect choices and possibilities.
Although it was just a chance to do it, it could not be achieved by any reward or reward. These old soldiers, who were tired and scarred, were as if they were covered in chicken blood, and their morale was howling, and they wanted to rush out and find an enemy to beat me on the spot.
At this time, the battle in the city came to an end. When the oxtail banner hanging upside down was hung on the highest prominent position on the inner city wall, the remaining enemies' fighting spirit and fighting spirit were quickly destroyed like a soap bubble.
So when I settled in the office of Yacheng, I saw Cui Bangbi, the new commander of the guards who had a complicated expression on his face and insisted on coming out with injuries, and gave him persuasive comfort and comfort in public.
There were already groups of Hu Mazi and the remnants of the vassal army who had put down their weapons and walked out of their hiding places. They were like the most obedient sheep, allowing a small number of soldiers to drive them into a group.
The anti-corruption officials entrenched in the treasury were panicked early and took the initiative to cut off hundreds of heads in the leading group, then abandoned their troops and knelt on both sides of the street, waiting for the subsequent disposal of the "King Army".
Then, many warehouses stored in the inner city were opened, and the rewarded wine and meat were carried out, and the supplies loaded on the truck were loaded and unloaded and arranged together.
Whether it is the coarse naval cake, the hard marching compressed ration, or the canned beans, meat-substituted meat, the cut into pieces, and the pickled vegetables in the jar are poured into a large pot with snow water, stewing the hot and delicious paste.
When the hot food and wine were filled with the utensils held by each arm.
Whether it is the veterans of the main battle camp, the new soldiers of the auxiliary army, the husbands of the scattered corps and baggage teams, as well as the civilians and defenders in the city, they temporarily forgot the barriers and pains and the sad and miserable situations outside.
