"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 985
The rear guard of the Mighty Army was encircled and strangled by the Qinghe Army, and the whole army was wiped out.
After the battle, the corpses of the dead covered the mountains and rivers, and even the water in the streams turned blood red.
The units of the Qinghe Army ate tens of thousands of enemies in one go, and they themselves were blood-soaked in their battle armor, exhausted from all strength.
"Send an order to rest in place for two hours!"
Seeing the depleted troops who were almost fighting each other, Li Lang, the frontline commander, also knew that they had no ability to continue fighting, so he could only let them rest and eat to replenish their strength.
? While the soldiers of each banner regiment were lying in blood and gasping for breath, officers at all levels quickly counted the casualties and then reported to Li Lang.
Although the various units of the Qinghe Army were fighting with the Mighty Army, they had a complete combat system, scattered in shape but not scattered in spirit, and maintained the smallest combat unit during the battle.
After more than an hour of counting and investigation, each banner battalion and banner regiment also quickly reported the number of casualties to the frontline commander Li Lang.
"The Second Banner Regiment killed 1,300 people, and 508 people are missing."
"The 17th Banner Regiment killed 891 people, and 395 people are missing."
"The 21st Banner Regiment killed 522 people, and 89 people are missing."
"The Second Independent Banner Regiment killed 2,321 people, and 455 people are missing."
"The 18th Banner Regiment was newly created, with 2,200 killed and 397 missing."
The casualties were gathered to the frontline commander Li Lang. All units of the Qinghe Army lost a lot in this battle, and more than 8,000 people were killed in total.
The missing soldiers don't know where they went during the scuffle, and it's not clear whether they are dead or alive.
Although more than 8,000 people were killed in battle, they wiped out at least 40,000 to 50,000 enemies, which can be said to be a victory.
"Although we have wiped out tens of thousands of enemies, there are still tens of thousands of enemies fleeing north. We have to catch up and wipe them out!"
"If we let them go now, we will let the tiger go back to the mountain! Once they make a comeback, we will have countless brothers casualties!"
Li Lang saw the blood-stained banner leaders waving their arms and loudly boosting morale.
"Go and tell the brothers, go all out and chase down the remnants of the enemy! When the enemy is eliminated, we will have a three-day holiday!" Li Langlang said.
After the temporary meeting on the battlefield was over, the heads of the banners did not bother to clean up the battlefield, and after leaving behind the wounded who could not move, they led the troops to pursue northward with torches.
At this moment, the retreating troops led by Long Da also rushed all the way to the Wuming River holding torches.
The troops of the mighty army who withdrew from the battlefield were so busy running for their lives that they didn't even have time to eat lunch.
Fortunately, the Qinghe army was concentrating on besieging and killing their rear guard troops, and they also temporarily got rid of the pursuit of the Qinghe army.
A large number of exhausted mighty soldiers rushed to the nameless river with torches, but what greeted them was the surging river.
The pontoon bridge they originally built had been completely burned down by a fire, and now the river was empty, with nothing.
Seeing that the pontoon bridge on the Wuming River was demolished, these mighty soldiers who fled all the way here were crowded by the river, and their faces were full of bewilderment.
"General, the pontoon bridge was destroyed by bandits!"
When Long Da was riding on horseback, suddenly there was a cavalry galloping in front of him, reporting loudly.
"What, the floating bridge was destroyed?"
After hearing that the pontoon bridge was destroyed, Long Da was taken aback for a moment, and then his face was full of disbelief.
"The pontoon bridge was fine last night, where are the bridge guards?!" Long Da said angrily.
"It has been killed by the bandit army."
"Asshole!"
When Long Da heard that the pontoon bridge was destroyed, he was also furious. He rode his horse to the river and found that the pontoon bridge was indeed destroyed.
There are still 50,000 to 60,000 people who have evacuated here, and they are all crowded by the river at this moment.
Due to the haste of the retreat, many vehicles and luggage were discarded, and food was also lost, and each of them looked extremely weak.
"Hurry up and rebuild the pontoon bridge, otherwise once the bandits catch up, we will have nowhere to go."
Facing the turbulent river, there is no way for them to swim across so many troops, they can only rebuild the buoybridge.
"General, look!"
When Long Da ordered people to urgently rebuild the pontoon bridge across the river, suddenly dense torches lit up on the other side of the river, illuminating the other side like daylight.
"It seems to be a bandit army!"
When he saw clearly the troops on the opposite side who were holding torches, the Mighty Army was also shocked.
The Qinghe army not only destroyed the pontoon bridge they were retreating to the north, but even deployed an army on the opposite bank, which made Long Da realize that something was wrong.
Because if they want to build a pontoon bridge on the river now, the Qinghe army on the opposite side will definitely not let them do what they want, and will definitely obstruct it.
And the Qinghe army behind them is estimated to catch up tomorrow morning, and then they will be in a desperate situation.
"Five and six, hurry up and take people up and down to search for shoals that can cross the river!"
Seeing that the other side of the river had been occupied by the Qinghe army, Long Da also had to hastily send people to find another place to cross the river upstream and downstream.
Dragon Five and Dragon Six also knew that the situation was urgent, they did not dare to delay, and personally led two teams of cavalry towards the upstream and downstream, looking for a new place to cross the river.
When tens of thousands of mighty troops were blocked by the river and it was difficult to pass, behind them, a large number of Qinghe troops who had just come down from the battlefield were also marching overnight holding torches.
Li Lang knew very well that Dong Hao's banner group was the only one deployed by the Wuming River. Once the mighty army found another place to cross the river, one banner group would not be able to stop so many mighty troops.
Li Lang's goal was to wipe out these mighty troops, so he also urged the troops to speed up.
Fortunately, the Qinghe army has just experienced a hearty victory. Although it is exhausted at the moment, its morale is also strong.
A long line of torches marched rapidly northward in the dark night. The soldiers of the Qinghe Army had long-distance marching training on weekdays, so the speed was not slow.
In the middle of the night, Wang Hu's Second Banner Regiment had rushed to the vicinity of the Wuming River, and started a fierce battle with a mighty army that was broken.
Hearing that the Qinghe Army from behind had already bitten him up, Long Da, who was trapped by the Wuming River, turned around anxiously like an ant on a hot pot.
"Brother, there is a shoal twenty miles downstream where you can cross the river!"
At this time, Long Wu, who was in charge of investigating the situation, came back panting, and brought back a piece of good news.
"It's really a road that never ends!"
"Send the order to go downstream and cross the river quickly!"
Although it was not yet dawn, but the situation was critical, Long Da didn't care too much, and ordered the troops to rush downstream.
"Master Banner, the mighty army has gone downstream, and they probably want to cross the river from downstream."
Tens of thousands of mighty troops headed downstream in a mess, and naturally they couldn't hide it from the Fifth Banner Regiment of the Qinghe Army on the opposite side.
"Leave a flag battalion to guard this place, and the rest will follow me downstream to stop!"
Dong Hao learned that the mighty army was heading downstream, so he quickly gathered his soldiers and horses, and marched across the river with the mighty army, heading downstream.
