The messenger left after he said that. He was not a member of Helianhong's troops, so he obeyed Siroo directly. Naturally, he didn't have to look at his face. He left straight after completing his job.

Helianhong observed for a while and it seemed that he could not defeat Qinghu City anyway. Even if the 50,000 troops in his hands were all put into battle, he would probably be like this until dark.

His men had not finished their journey, and their defenders had not used up either.

After frowning and thinking about it, Helianhong decided to withdraw his troops!

The Xianbei did not say that the Jinjin was calling for the troops, and they even had few war drums, and the Xianbei people did not pay attention to this.

After the command of the troops was sent to withdraw, the Xianbei soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. It was indeed too difficult for them to attack the city.

If you are fighting on the grassland, you will see 10,000 soldiers in the city, let alone 50,000, even two or three thousand people, and they will have the confidence to defeat the other side.

But now? So many people were killed and injured on our side, but they couldn't even occupy a small place on the city.

This is undoubtedly a blow to them.

The Xianbei retreated, and it retreated very quickly.

Gao Shun did not order the pursuit, and even ordered to shoot arrows and kill a few more people. He just watched the other party leave coldly.

He was not very happy to repel the enemy, and even a hint of disappointment was on his face.

This is a disappointment with the combat effectiveness of the new recruits, because we can be said to have taken advantage of it. Whether it is the benefits of the city wall or the materials prepared for defending the city, this is all blessing for defending the city.

However, after the battle, the death and injury rate of both sides reached one to five. The city guards could still kill and injured so many people under such circumstances, which was indeed a bit difficult for him to accept.

If the 20,000 elite soldiers taken away by Zhao Yun came to defend the city, the number of casualties would definitely not exceed 1,000!

After all, the Xianbei is really not good at siegeing cities, and the Xianbei's defense is too poor. It is good that their weapons are sufficiently equipped, let alone armor.

Almost every Xianbei soldier wears ordinary clothes to the battlefield. What defense can the clothes have?

Every soldier on his side has excellent armor. Although it is not as outstanding as the camp, most of the Han army are equipped today. After all, armor and weapons are new.

Zhao Yun spent a lot of money for these military funds. If he hadn't snatched a lot of money from the three major families and Xianbei, Li Xu would not have been able to make so much money.

Of course, Gao Shun was unhappy and even a little disappointed.

But the soldiers didn't think so, they were very happy!

"Win, we won!"

"Oh! We win..."

They cheered and they cried with joy.

In their battle with the Xianbei, they defeated the Xianbei army!

And it is five times the enemy to one's side.

They killed nearly 10,000 Xianbei soldiers, and the number of people they lost was less than 2,000!

For them, they would not consider the gaps and advantages and disadvantages of the two sides. They only knew that in the past they were bullied by the Xianbei. This time they went to the battlefield themselves and faced the Xianbei army themselves and won!

This is the most important thing.

Where would ordinary soldiers consider what equipment? They wouldn't even think about whether the Xianbei army is suitable for siege!

All they know is, they won!

Although nearly two thousand people died, they killed nearly ten thousand people!

That's enough!

When I joined the army, weren’t I just looking forward to this day?

Looking at the cheering soldiers, Gao Shun frowned and turned around and wanted to scold him.

But he was stopped by Xun You and stopped him.

"Zhongda, it's time for them to be happy. At this time, they cannot be poured cold water, otherwise the enthusiasm and morale of the soldiers will be reduced. What they need now is encouragement, don't forget that the battle has not been finished yet!"

Xun You's advice worked, Gao Shun suppressed the urge to scold and began to arrange for people to clean up the battlefield.

The bodies of Xianbei soldiers were thrown directly into the city. After some soldiers on their side died, they fell under the city and opened the city gate and collected them.

As for the bodies of Xianbei soldiers, the Xianbei people naturally cleaned up themselves.

After the war, when cleaning the battlefield, no matter the defeated side or the victorious side, they will not attack the opponent who picks up the body. This is the rule and is the default between both sides.

It is like two armies fighting and not killing them.

Even when two armies fight, killing the envoy is nothing, but if anyone dares to stop the other party from picking up the corpse, then let alone the enemy will not agree, even the soldiers under your own command will not agree.

Because no one dares to say that they will definitely not die if they go to the battlefield. Death is not scary. It’s nothing, everyone is eating this bowl of rice.

But after death, no one took out his body, which was unacceptable.

If you send troops to kill someone who picks up the bodies, then if you die in the future, when your soldiers come to clean up your bodies, they will attack us? What should we do if our bodies are then?

Therefore, no matter what, the post-war collection of corpses will not be affected.

Even if the soldiers of the two armies are mixed together, they will not interfere with the river water, and will collect their own ones and go back after they are collected.

...

Xianbei camp, central army tent.

Nalodan and Siroo sat opposite each other.

"See it? The combat effectiveness of the Han army is not weak." Siroo said with a frown.

Na Lou Dan nodded: "Especially those black-armored warriors, they are so powerful that they are very powerful. If the Han army is all that kind of army, then we may not be able to take advantage even if we fight on the grassland."

Siroo nodded: "The most important thing is that the Han generals are in good command and their defense is perfect. The warriors of Helianhong's troops have been working hard enough, but after several hours, they still cannot occupy a place on the city wall. If we continue like this, even if we attack in full and eventually take over Qinghu City, our own casualties will be a number that we cannot accept."

Today's attack is just a test of the two.

Zhao Yun won many victories against the Xianbei, and Helian Chong was captured, so they did not underestimate the garrisons of Yunzhong County.

It just so happens that Helianhong can be used as cannon fodder to see the situation.

But the result was that neither of them was happy.

Na Lou Dan said: "For the sake of the present plan, either continue to let Helianhong consume the Han army. You and I wait for the effort. After Helianhong is almost the same as them, you and I will lead the army to attack and take down the city in one fell swoop. But if you do this, Helianhong may not agree, after all, he is not stupid!"

"The second way is to fight for all casualties to take down Qinghu City. But this is inconsistent with our original intention. We are here to establish our authority and teach these Han people a lesson, not to sacrifice their lives!"

Siroo was about to speak, but Helianhong had already rushed in.

The two of them stopped talking immediately, and Helianhong stepped forward and asked, "Is it almost done? Are you sure you have a plan in your mind?"

Just when Siroo told him that he could withdraw his troops, he understood that the two of them were asking him to die, using their warriors to explore their way, so that they could see clearly the combat effectiveness of the Han army and the ability of the Han army generals!

But he had no choice because he had no choice. If he didn't listen to these two people, it would be difficult for him to save Helian Chong alone!

Helian Chong is one of the three major leaders of the Xianbei. If something happens to him, Helianhong alone will not be able to suppress their Xianbei.

When Siroo heard this, he knew that he understood and immediately smiled and said, "How to defeat the enemy, Brother Lou, I already know what to do. Thank you for your hard work today, hurry up and rest."
