There are ruins everywhere here, and the originally tall and mighty avant-garde city has become a ruin.
There is smoke rising from the ruins. It was the last retreating defenders who used heavy oil to ignite all the catapults, ballistas and other equipment. Now they are almost burning.
The vassal troops from Baekje are carrying the corpses of both the enemy and ourselves and burying them in large pits dug nearby.
The grassland people are absolutely professional in burying corpses, because once a plague occurs, it is not as simple as tens of thousands of people dying. Even after the livestock is infected, millions of cattle, horses and sheep may die.
The road has been cleared, Yelu Feiyang led a group of Shiwei nobles and generals, riding slowly through the avant-garde city.
Looking at the dark, smoldering ruins, Yelu Feiyang sighed: "You guys think, why are the Dakang people so good at defending? It's just an avant-garde city! More than 30,000 people have been killed and injured! And then they let them Part of it escaped.¡±
"Isn't their characteristic the turtle shell?" Er Yong took a photo and teased: "Third Prince, we can also say that we have won the victory, and then we can realize our plan! This is a good thing, there are no undead in a war. of?"
Marshal Wu Lizhen also nodded: "You're right, everything should be given priority. Even if there are casualties in the process, it is normal! Compared to our plan, this first step is still very successful."
After a pause, he said meaningfully: "Our Shiwei army only suffered 5,000 casualties. Such a loss is acceptable!"
Many people laughed when they heard this.
Lu Tu said stably: "These tribes regard soldiers as expendables and only have property in their eyes. Although the damage is not small, it is still not as strong as their desire for plunder! I really don't know that they are rushing to the Jinzhou City area now." , what will be gained.¡±
At this time, around the avant-garde city, in addition to the more than 60,000 elites from Shiwei's headquarters, only 5,000 logistics troops from Baekje were left to deal with the aftermath.
After that, they will be responsible for completely demolishing the avant-garde city and the hill, completely making the natural advantage of this place a thing of the past.
The remaining vassal tribes have already galloped towards the Jinzhou area on their horses, wanting to see if there is anything worth grabbing in the rural towns there.
Shi Wei didn¡¯t like these little things, so he let them out and walked slowly behind.
On the surface it seems so.
But of course that¡¯s not the case.
Yelu Anxiang asked: "Brother Emperor, since we have broken the avant-garde city, why don't we hurry up and fight all the way to Jinzhou City? Wouldn't this be very beneficial to our next plan?"
Yelu Feiyang liked this cousin very much, but at this moment he laughed, "You, there are still many things you don't know Guess, why are we so unhurried?"
"Because our catapults, siege engines, ladders, bows and arrows and other materials have been consumed too much and need to be replenished?" Yelu Anxiang said.
"On the one hand, there is such a reason, but it is not the main one." Yelu Feiyang pointed at Han Mu, "Amu, tell them about it! An Xiang is not the only one who doesn't understand."
Han Mu nodded: "My lords, not many people knew about this matter before because it was confidential. Now that we have completed the first goal and removed the first big obstacle that blocked our progress, then it is okay Speak out.
First of all, we are actually not in a hurry to attack Jinzhou City now, because time is on our side. It's only the end of March now, and there's still half a year until the end of autumn in September, which is completely enough.
Jinzhou City is different. They are in despair being besieged by us and cannot advance or retreat. We just want to consume their patience and make them panic, so that the next fight will be easier. "
"By the way, can we gather around for support?" Zupuguzi said with a smile.
"Yes! This is your special skill." Han Mu complimented him and said: "We surrounded instead of fighting. On the one hand, we are avoiding huge losses in our haste, and on the other hand, we are allowing them to rescue Jinzhou City. ! If they don¡¯t respond for a moment, then we will go straight to Ningyuan City, and Dakang will definitely not be stable like this."
"good!"
Erqing took a picture and licked his lips, "I hate this kind of siege the most. If they can fight us in the wilderness, that would be the best! I will definitely wipe out all their troops, and no one can go back!"
"You should not be careless." Yelu Feiyang??The remaining roads are several times more difficult than crossing the river.
This means that the main force of the Dakang army was restrained by the army. Otherwise, if only the men and horses of the Acropolis rushed out of 5,000 people, even if there were tens of thousands of them, they would have suffered heavy casualties.
"Don't underestimate the power of the Dakang people in positional warfare, it far exceeds that of all the prairie people.
¡°Otherwise, they wouldn¡¯t have been able to persist until now.
There are only hundreds of thousands of troops pressing the border. In order to ensure the integrity of the entire Jinzhou defense line and last longer, they will not attack rashly.
But this road stretches for three to five miles. With so many people having to travel such a long distance, Wuli Zhen has a headache.
When he thought of Dakang's endless defensive tools and long-range attack equipment, he became even more upset.
But if it hadn¡¯t been for this opportunity, the losses of Shiwei¡¯s army would have increased several times. Therefore, in order to completely eliminate the defense lines in Jinzhou and Ningyuan in the future, we had to admit this loss.
