Han Feihong cupped his hands and said: "Our Nanda camp has lost 302 people. We have injured 93 people, 19 of whom were seriously injured."
There were so many of them, General Lou Pian and General Pu Pian totaled more than a thousand. They rushed to Dongda camp and surrounded them, but were attacked several times by the desperate bandits.
Such a loss is barely reasonable.
But speaking of it, it was because the combat effectiveness of the Chaling Army was too low.
Even if everyone was as brave as those bandits, they would not suffer such heavy casualties even if they were surrounded on all sides and had the upper hand.
Lu Liang's face looked ugly after all.
His Beida camp had light and heavy iron cavalry, so it naturally suffered the least damage. Among the bandits, there were less than ten people who could kill the armor-possessed iron cavalry.
However, more than 40 people were lost.
In other words, the Chaling Army lost a total of nearly 800 soldiers in this battle.
It's really a bit ugly.
"There shouldn't have been such huge casualties!"
Lu Liang said, "Especially the raid launched by bandits last night!"
We still need to be held accountable.
He looked at Yang Mao and said: "The bandits just pretended to attack the Western Camp last night. Why are you beating the drum to ask for help when Mr. Yang is in charge?"
Yang Mao's expression became even more ugly.
At this moment, regardless of whether Lu Liang deliberately caused trouble for him, he had nothing to say. There was no way to shirk this responsibility.
After a long silence, he said: "There are masters among those bandit troops, and they have set up a suspicious formation, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. The general is worried that they will really break through the west camp, so he has to beat the drum to ask for help."
"Do you know that because you did not understand the situation! General Han was unable to support Dongda Camp in time? How much damage was caused to Dongda Camp?"
"If we could have intercepted the bandits attacking Dongdaying outside the city last night, we wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses today!"
Lu Liang continued.
The tone is very serious.
It was done deliberately.
He needs to find someone to take responsibility.
This would also show that the successful night attack by bandits last night was not caused by Lu Liang deliberately.
"The last general... has neglected his duty!"
Yang Mao's face turned blue, but he could only surrender to Lu Liang.
Everyone believed that this responsibility lay with him, and he couldn't help but bear it.
Lu Liang's face softened slightly and he said: "Whether I have neglected my duty or not, I won't say much here. I will truthfully write it down in the battle report and let Master Jiedushi make the decision."
Yang Mao remained silent.
In short, it was a big loss for him to lose face within the Chaling Army this time.
Anyone can slip up, but he, the commander-in-chief, really shouldn't slip up. His prestige in the Chaling Army will be greatly reduced in the future.
As for Pan Nanzhang, there is no rush for now. Maybe he can still make meritorious service in the process of suppressing bandits in the future.
Not long afterward, all the generals returned to their camps.
By this time, the bodies of the bandits and the damaged Chaling Army had been burned and buried.
A raging fire burned in Dongda Camp.
Thick smoke rose into the sky.
In this battle, the Chaling Army killed a total of 1,042 bandit soldiers and suffered more than 800 casualties.
It can really only be regarded as a miserable victory.
Lu Fang stayed in Luliang's tent. When the sound gradually fell silent, the two brothers started talking.
Lu Fang said: "Most of the bandits in Chenzhou gathered in Rucheng, and now they have been wiped out. What are your plans next?"
Lu Liang rubbed his temples and said, "The Chaling Army has suffered heavy losses and is already exhausted. It is not suitable to fight anymore. I plan to rest for two days and then lead the army to Chenzhou. Most of them will rest and let General Han lead the army to annihilate Chenzhou."
There are still some remnants of mountain bandits. I wrote a letter asking Qi Nanshan, the commander of the Guiyang Army, to lead his army to come to our aid."
He originally planned to use the Chaling Army to wipe out the mountain bandits in the southern states of Jingnan County. Looking at it now, it is obviously impossible.
Except for Tanzhou, there are more bandits in Yongzhou, Shaozhou and other places than in Chenzhou.
Moreover, there is Zhang Zhihe...
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Zhihe must have the same plan as Xu Linzhi and others. When the time comes, I am afraid it will be another "fierce battle".
If there are not enough soldiers, this cruel trick cannot be carried out.
Lu Fang nodded lightly, "The provincial examination is coming soon, so I will go back to Tanzhou first. After the examination is over, I will come back to find you."
"Actually, you don't have to come. It's better to concentrate on preparing for the exam."
Lu Liang said: "If I can suppress bandits and make great achievements, I will probably stay in the army forever in the future. If you can pass the Jinshi examination and become an official in the court, you will be more likely to succeed."
"Got it."
Lu Fang said without any doubt: "I won't worry if I don't stay by your side."
Lu Liang couldn't help but find it funny, "With Grandpa Xiao staying by my side to protect me, what are you worried about?"
I'm worried that I won't be able to earn hatred points.
Lu Fang muttered in his heart and said: "I have nothing to do anyway. It would be nice to see more of this kind of scene now."
Lao Xiao spoke up at this time, "Young man Lu is right. From now on, fighting like this may become the norm."
It is obviously impossible to seize Liang Hanmin's throne without any bloodshed.
Lu Liang nodded, "Okay then!"
Then he couldn't help but ask Lu Fang: "Why did you deliberately provoke the anger of the bandits when you were fighting before?"
Lu Fang didn't blush and said breathlessly: "Let them remember my name, and they will downplay your name. It's better not to make people hate you for this kind of thing."
Lu Liang's eyes were a little complicated, "But aren't you worried that this will cause you any trouble?"
The identities of the two of them are currently only known to Zhang Zhi and others. The other martyrs of the former dynasty do not know.
When the news spread that Xu Linzhi and others were killed in battle, no one could tell whether a master among the martyrs of the previous dynasty would come to seek revenge on the two of them.
Lu Fang deliberately stirred up hatred on the battlefield, which really made him angry.
Hearing Lu Liang's words, he just smiled and said, "With such a fate, what else is there to worry about?"
Lu Liang was silent.
I don’t know when I will be able to announce my identity in front of the martyrs of the former dynasty.
I am afraid that the "hatred" of Xu Linzhi and others will only be solved by Red Lady and others.
But where are the Red Lady and the others at this time?
That night, Lu Fang meditated in Luliang's tent.
The corners of his mouth curved slightly.
Because this time the hatred value is really profitable.
There are more than 126,000 in total.
The hatred value has now accumulated to more than 132,000 points.
Although it is still far less profitable than when I was training with the Chaling Army, it is still a big gain.
If it weren't for Lao Xiao and Lu Liang here, he would have been unable to help but improve his cultivation level again.
We must rush back to Chenzhou before the Guiyang army arrives.
When the time comes, I will help Lu Liang train and train these Guiyang troops. Hehe, I think I will be able to make a lot of money again.
