    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 815

    As night fell, heavy rain followed. The rain washed away the blood of the corpses on the battlefield, and the bloody smell in the air also dissipated a lot.

    "Strengthen security to prevent sneak attacks by rebels."

    "No!"

    Zhou Ba, deputy head of the army, wore a cloak and patrolled along the bloody city wall, reminding the soldiers and officers on duty who were on guard at night.

    After a fierce battle, although the First Banner Regiment was transferred later, the soldiers were also covered in blood after fighting, and they were a little tired at the moment.

    Zhou Ba, the deputy commander of the army, inspected every sentry post and city wall, and after making sure that everything was safe, he went down the city wall to visit the wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks.

    Due to the inexperience of Wang Hu's banner regiment, the city wall was once rushed up by the rebels, so the casualties were higher, with more than 3,000 people killed and 500 seriously injured.

    However, Zhou Ba's First Banner Regiment only killed more than 800 people, and there were not many seriously injured, but Zhou Ba still visited them in person.

    Zhou Ba was also a general at the same level as Wang Hu at the beginning, but he has been following Chen Ziang. No matter in terms of combat command ability or vision, Wang Hu is far behind.

    Although Zhou Ba's visit to the wounded soldiers in the wounded barracks was only a small act, it was enough to make the wounded soldiers feel grateful and unite the morale of the soldiers.

    "You don't need to pay attention to the next battle, you can recuperate with peace of mind, I hope you will recover soon."

    ? Seeing those bruised brothers, Zhou Ba, the deputy commander of the army, was amiable. He took the brother to comfort him, and chatted with another brother, which virtually narrowed the distance between them.

    Seeing Zhou Ba, the deputy commander of the army, with a serious face on the battlefield, and being so approachable at the moment, the wounded soldiers also greatly increased their affection for him.

    "You must do your best to treat the seriously injured brother. If you need anything, just come to me."

    Before leaving, Zhou Ba carefully explained to the military doctor, hoping to treat and take good care of the wounded soldiers.

    When the wounded soldiers of the Qinghe Army were lying in the dry and comfortable wounded soldiers camp for treatment and had hot meals, the wounded soldiers of the rebel army outside the city were treated much more miserable.

    ? Yang Hao's rebel troops have always fought like bandits, wherever they went, they robbed them.

    Their troops seem to be strong and strong, but in fact they don't even have enough weapons and armor. Many soldiers hold sharpened wooden sticks, sickles and hoes as weapons.

    The conditions and treatment of the rebels are very poor, there are very few medical officers in the barracks, and they all serve generals at all levels.

    Once an ordinary rebel soldier is injured on the battlefield, he can only rely on himself to bandage it, and then resign himself to fate.

    As for the seriously injured rebel soldiers, they could only stay in the camp and wait to die. If they were lucky, they might be able to save their lives.

    The Qinghe Army wounded soldiers inside the city were properly resettled, the rebel camp outside the city was muddy, and the wounded soldiers camp was placed one mile away from the main camp.

    Except for the soldiers who stood guard and cooked, there were almost no medical officers in charge of the wounded barracks, and the wounded soldiers were left to fend for themselves.

    Moreover, placing the battalion of wounded soldiers one mile away from the main camp was also to prevent the painful screams of the wounded soldiers from affecting the morale of the army in the main camp.

    At this moment, the rebels' wounded soldiers' battalion was full of blood, and there were screams of pain everywhere, and it was raining heavily outside, and the wounded soldiers were suffering in pain with despair on their faces.

    Their casualties during the day were very high, and there were more than 6,000 wounded soldiers who could be carried back to the wounded barracks, and even more remained on the battlefield.

    "Preliminary statistics show that more than 10,000 people were killed in battle, and more than 10,000 were injured. Many of the seriously injured may not survive tonight."

    In the damp tent of the Chinese army, Wu Feng, the chief of staff with a heavy heart, also reported the casualties to the commander Yang Hao.

    Hearing such a heavy casualty, Yang Hao couldn't help but twitched his facial muscles a few times.

    It was Yang Hao's unexpected loss of so many troops in just one day's battle.

    Previously, Yang Hao felt that he could gather an army of 100,000 to besiege Pingyong Mansion, and by relying on the crowd tactics, he could also conquer Pingyong Mansion.

    However, after a day of brutal fighting, Yang Hao finally understood that relying on crowd tactics might not be effective.

    "If we continue to attack head-on, we will be exhausted in a few days." Yang Hao said with a serious face.

    Wu Feng, chief of staff, said: "Their defense is tight. If we want to sneak attack at night, I'm afraid the chances of winning are not great."

      "What good solution do you have?" Yang Hao asked Wu Feng.

    After thinking for a while, Wu Feng replied: "A strong attack will cause us heavy losses, and the Southern Army is watching. Even if we can take down Pingyong Mansion, the loss outweighs the gain."

    "So we can't attack by force, trap them to death, and then send an army to attack Lingchuan Mansion and Suchuan Mansion, cutting off their food supplies and support." Wu Feng said viciously.

    Although the plan proposed by Chief of Staff Wu Feng cannot be implemented quickly, it is still a safe method.

    "Okay, let's do as you like, send 20,000 people to attack Lingchuan Mansion and Su Suchuan Mansion, and we will trap them to death in the city." Yang Hao agreed with Wu Feng's opinion.

    When Yang Hao and the others had to change their tactics because of their bloody collision in Pingyong Mansion, a cavalry unit was marching in the rain on the dark jungle path in the northeast of Xingshui Mansion.

    This cavalry unit is two thousand light cavalry from the Sixth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army Cavalry. They were ordered to destroy the food and grass supplies of the rebel base camp.

    "This damn rain, it's really not the right time. I'm afraid our arrival at Xingshui Mansion will be delayed, and we won't be able to make it before dawn."

    Although the cavalrymen of the Sixth Banner Regiment were equipped with cavalry cloaks, they were still drenched by the rain.

    It is not critical to be completely soaked. The key heavy rain makes the road muddy, which greatly affects their forward speed.

    "We are not far from Xingshui Mansion. Although the heavy rain makes the road difficult, it is not all a bad thing. That is, the rebels in Xingshui Mansion never expected that there would be a cavalry unit attacking in the rain."

    Guo Wei, the head of the banner, wiped the rainwater off his face with his hands, and was an optimistic and stable trainee officer under his command with a sad face.

    "Master Banner, so we still have to thank this heavy rain for protecting us?" The trainee officer's frown stretched out.

    "I can't really say thank you, but we can't change it when it rains. Optimism is better than pessimism."

    Guo Wei, head of the flag regiment, patted the apprentice cavalry officer on the shoulder and said, "We are officers, and the brothers are all looking at us, so we can't mess up by ourselves first, and don't let the brothers hear your complaints in the future, it will affect morale.  "

    "No."

    The trainee officer nodded. When he complained just now, he really didn't think of this level.

    "Go and tell the brothers that Xingshui Mansion is not far away. There are good wine and good food in the city. Let's rush to Xingshui Mansion with all our might. Then I will give everyone a three-day holiday!"

    Guo Wei, the head of the banner, saw the cavalry marching in the heavy rain, and said to the trainee officer.

    When the cavalry heard the words from Guo Wei, the leader of the banner, they were exhausted and refreshed a lot.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
