In one move, he captured the enemy's generals, Lu Bu and Guan Gong, which was nothing more than expected.

Gu Peng let the enemy soldiers tie his hands in a daze, and looked at Lin Zhijing with deep fear in his eyes.

This battle, at this point, needs to be summarized.

"Report to the general, we are chasing the enemy, and suddenly a group of men and horses appeared out of nowhere. General Lu saw that the enemy's force was strong, so he ordered us not to pursue the enemy and let the enemy escape."

It turned out that Lu Yida was intercepted by a group of troops when he was harvesting the enemy troops. Both sides had no intention of fighting, and after a brief contact, they stopped their attacks. Lu Yida considered that the sergeants were tired and the enemy troops

The situation was unclear, we didn't want to increase casualties, and the enemy was eager to leave early, so it was considered a tacit understanding on the battlefield.

"Well, you did it right."

Lin Zhijing nodded.

Although this bloody battle was a complete victory, the losses should be considerable. According to Gu Peng, Lin Zhijing estimated that of their 20,000 elite cavalry, there were at most two or three thousand left, and there might be one or two warriors left.

Thousands of people were able to escape, and perhaps ten or twenty thousand people surrendered!

However, on my side, the two elite cavalrymen of Ma Ruhu and Pei Yunzhao are probably less than half left. As for the infantry, even though they were crushed, they probably lost ten to twenty thousand!

"General Gu, in your opinion, where are the reinforcements coming from?"

Lin Zhijing smiled and asked Gu Peng, who had been taken under his command.

"Back to the general, I believe it is the reinforcements coming from Nanyang Prefecture. The general should be Nanyang General Ma Jun, known as 'Xiao Ma Chao'. He is very good at working on horseback and his resourcefulness is also extraordinary."

Gu Peng answered truthfully that he knew how many people there were in Nanyang Mansion. Originally, he wanted Ma Jun to be the commander-in-chief of land troops and horses, but he relied on his relationship with Ninghou to squeeze out Ma Jun.

Positioned.

"Haha, Xiao Ma Chao, it's a pity that my brother-in-law is not here. Otherwise, I can fight with him to see who is better with his gun or my brother-in-law's gun!"

When Lin Zhijing heard this, he couldn't help but think of Xu Lang.

"General Gu, according to what you said, this man is a powerful enemy? How many people are there with him?"

this is the key of the problem.

Gu Peng thought for a while, because the war in Xiangyang was tense, at least half of the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Nanyang Mansion were lent to them.

"Back to the general, if we include Ninghou's army in Xinye, there should be about 100,000 people."

"Oh, then it seems that there is still a big battle going on."

Lin Zhijing said, lost in thought.

After this battle, the troops and horses under my command, plus the surrendered troops, will probably be the same as before. However, there is still a question mark as to the combat effectiveness of the newly surrendered troops. If there is a head-on confrontation with this 100,000-strong army, there will definitely be another

A bloody battle. I don’t know how many brothers will be lost!

"Pass my order and the entire army will rest on the spot. In two days, the troops will be sent to new areas!"

Lin Zhijing calmed down and ordered loudly.

"promise!"

All the generals replied in unison.

Then, they left the camp one after another to do whatever they had to do.

After all, the terrain here is flat and there is no danger to defend. In order to prevent the pony from overtaking the camp and hijacking it, Lin Zhijing ordered a trench to be dug about ten feet deep in front of the camp. As for resisting the horses, several layers were set up. It took a while

After a while, it was really fortified at all levels. Anyone who wanted to make a sneak attack would probably not get any good results.

Sure enough, after the Northern Army scouts peeped several times, they could only sigh in despair and quickly informed Ma Jun, who had been temporarily appointed as the commander-in-chief of the troops and horses, about the situation here.

At that time, Marquis Ning had already retreated to Nanyang Prefecture due to some unknown premonitions. In this way, the Xinye line, plus the navy on the north bank of Xiangyang, were actually fighting on their own.
Chapter completed!
