    "Brothers, kill!"

    ?The exhausted southern army retreated in fear, and the Qinghe army's banner battalions naturally would not let go of this opportunity to beat the dog in the water, and rushed forward to fight.

    The brothers of the Qinghe Army have always adopted a defensive posture, and they have been holding a breath in their hearts.

    They are now on the offensive, brandishing their swords, chasing and killing the Confederate ass.

    Amidst the dull sound of sharp knives piercing the flesh, the rear of the Southern Army was constantly being dispersed, and screams came and went.

    Hearing the shouts of killing from the mountains and tsunami behind him, the generals of the Southern Army knew it well.

    If it continues to retreat like this, it will soon turn into a large-scale rout.

    Many Confederate troops received orders and had to stop their retreat and line up to cover the defeated friendly forces.

    "Scatter them!"

    Seeing the southern army covering each other and fighting and retreating, the blood-stained cavalry of the Qinghe army panted heavily, and before the assembly was completed, they rushed up fiercely like hungry wolves with their fangs bared.

    The soldiers of the Southern Army who had just assembled in an emergency team gritted their teeth when they saw the surging cavalry rushing towards them with murderous aura, and pointed countless sharp spears obliquely at the direction of the cavalry's impact.

    "Shhhhhhh"

    A dense rain of arrows came, and the Southern Army soldiers holding spears suddenly fell down like ripe wheat.

    Without waiting for the soldiers behind to fill in the vacancies, the sturdy cavalry of the Qinghe Army suddenly cut into their ranks with a sweeping attitude, setting off a bloody storm.

    Under the stormy attack of the cavalry, the team that the Southern Army had gathered with great difficulty was beaten to pieces again.

    "Run away!"

    "Run!"

    "The bandit cavalry is coming again!"

    ?The Southern Army's rout, full of despair and panic, scrambled to be the first and retreated, while the infantry of the Qinghe Army chased and hacked behind them with a murderous look.

    Under the command of the general, the eager southern army who was killed turned around and fought the infantry of the Qinghe army who rushed forward, and the two sides fell into a state of chaotic melee.

    Although the infantry of the Qinghe Army had many new recruits, they used hundreds and thousands as the basic combat units, and they cooperated with each other to fight each other. They defeated the Southern Army troops that were blocking the attack, and then turned around and retreated.

    The Skeleton Battalion of the Southern Army is their elite, but now it is to ensure that the entire main force will not be eaten by the Qinghe Army.

    The 10,000 Skeleton Battalion also had to undertake the task of breaking the rear, and they stubbornly blocked the Qinghe Army's pursuit.

    Every time they were overwhelmed by the cavalry, they were able to gather again after retreating for a while, forming a fighting force and blocking the pursuit of the infantry of the Qinghe Army again. They are worthy of their reputation as an elite force.

    However, even the elite Skeleton Battalion could not withstand the attacks of the cavalry and infantry of the Qinghe Army in the melee after another, and there were many corpses left behind.

    Fortunately, although the various units of the Southern Army have encountered severe blows, they are after all a dynasty regular army with excellent traditions, and officers at all levels are still trying their best to maintain the order of the retreat.

    The southern army fought and retreated for more than 20 miles. The two sides fought disorderly until sunset, and the exhausted two sides broke off contact.

    The troops of the Qinghe Army were also exhausted after fighting for a day, and the head of the army, Yuan Jie, did not expect the Southern Army to be so tenacious.

    Seeing that the tens of thousands of southern troops could not be eaten in one day, the regiment leader Yuan Jie also gave up the plan of night battle, after all, their casualties were also not small.

    Under the support and cover of the cavalry of the Qinghe Army, the scarred battalions of the banners began to gather scattered soldiers, treat the wounded, clean up the battlefield, and retreat to set up camp.

    Seeing that the Qinghe Army had finally stopped their pursuit, the Southern Army heaved a long sigh of relief.

    Major General Luo Jing led tens of thousands of southern troops in high spirits to wipe out the main force of the Qinghe Army, but now seeing the dispirited and defeated troops, his mood is quite bad.

    The generals at all levels of the Southern Army did not have the spirit of the morning, they were downcast, like a defeated rooster.

    "Each battalion counts casualties!"

    "Collect the stray soldiers and treat the wounded."

    After stabilizing his position and setting up camp, major general Luo Jing also had to cheer up again.

    ?He suffered a disastrous defeat when he led the army against the Qinghe Army for the first time. For Luo Jing, who has always regarded himself very highly, it is undoubtedlywas a huge hit.

    Fortunately, they did not suffer a crushing defeat, at least they stabilized their position at the last moment and there was no major defeat.

    This is mainly due to the fact that their elite skeleton battalion blocked most of the attacks of the Qinghe army's pursuers, allowing the rest of the defeated troops to leave the battlefield.

    Soon, the casualties of the Southern Army were counted, and the five battalions that were first put into the battlefield were almost wiped out.

    And the battalions that went into the battlefield later also suffered heavy casualties, and some battalions even suffered more than half of their casualties.

    As the ace unit of the Southern Army and Luo Jing, the Skeleton Battalion also suffered heavy losses this time.

    Of the 10,000 Skeleton Battalion soldiers who survived to the end, only less than 2,000 remained, and the other 8,000 were killed on the spot, which shows the fierceness of the battle.

    Luo Jing actually only has 50,000 troops under his command who can participate in the battle, but the Southern Army has a very large establishment over a long period of time.

    The 50,000 troops were divided into more than 40 battalions. In just one battle during the day, five of their battalions were completely annihilated, and their organizational system was wiped out.

    The battalion generals of more than 40 battalions, the generals and other generals at all levels also suffered heavy losses.

    Among them, there were as many as 21 battalion generals and deputy battalion generals killed in battle, eight generals were killed in battle, and the death of a thousand generals and a hundred generals was even more shocking.

    This was the heaviest loss of the Southern Army after the counter-insurgency war. Major General Luo Jing, who fought directly, was a little skeptical about his life.

    He has always looked down on the Qinghe army, thinking that they are just a group of mobs rising from the grass.

    However, he never imagined that the Qinghe army developed so fast that it was even stronger than their regular army.

    Facing the long string of scarlet casualties, Major General Luo Jing looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, as if his strength had been exhausted.

    Those generals who survived were also full of frustration, because the battle during the day far exceeded their expectations.

    Some generals immediately proposed to withdraw the troops overnight, after all, their remaining remnants could no longer support a medium-scale battle.

    However, such a proposal was quickly rejected, because once they withdrew, the Qinghe Army who was close at hand would definitely chase them and beat them.

    Because it is not an easy task to withdraw troops under the nose of the enemy, it is a technical job.

    If it is not done well, it will turn into a big rout, and the whole army is in danger of being wiped out.

    Major General Luo Jing also knew that the Qinghe Army had cavalry troops, and once they withdrew, the opponent would be able to hide and kill them.

    At that time, no one of the soldiers who are in retreat is willing to stay and die. They will easily lose control of the army, so he dare not retreat easily.

    In the end, the Southern Army's decision was to withdraw some troops with heavy casualties, enrich the combat effectiveness of some battalions, stick to the big camp, and at the same time quickly mobilize troops from the rear to come up for reinforcements in an attempt to stabilize the position.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
