After taking care of Zhao Feiyi and Jiushan King, this army was basically finished. Xie Zhen didn't spend much effort to completely kill the bandit armed forces.
Although Pei Junxiong still doesn't know that this newly arrived bandit army is Zhao Feiyi's army, he knows that since Zhao Feiyi is finished, he must withdraw quickly.
He is not stupid. He knows that after Zhao Feiyi is finished, Xie Zhen will definitely lead his troops to outflank him. If he is also blocked by Xie Zhen, it will be too late for him to escape.
So, he decisively issued the order to retreat! Now, the bandits were treated like an amnesty! Pei Junxiong and his cronies were naturally the first to run away, and their losses were also the smallest. As for those in front who were attacked by Lu Xu
Of course, the entangled people can't run away, they can only accept the fact that they are about to become Lu Xu's military exploits.
Those bandits who were lucky enough not to be entangled by Lu Xu and who were not Pei Junxiong's cronies were able to escape. Pei Junxiong didn't care about their life or death anymore!
It was only an hour later that Lu Xu ended the battle completely. He just sent out scouts to follow Pei Junxiong's large army from a distance. His main force did not follow up, but stayed on the spot to clean the battlefield and count the results of the battle.
Lu Xu first calculated his own losses, because his losses were relatively easy to calculate.
In this battle, 73 people were injured in Wei'an Fort, and 3 people were killed. Most of the injuries were minor injuries, and they were injured in places that could not be protected by armor. However, 16 people were seriously injured and may not be able to go to the battlefield again in the future.
In addition to the losses on the Wei'anbao Army side, the Longmen Escort Bureau also suffered about 200 casualties. 57 of these 200 people were killed in battle, and most of the rest were lightly wounded.
In general, Lu Xu suffered heavy losses in this battle. But at least the price was still within the acceptable range of Lu Xu.
And after his own reckoning, Lu Xu found that they had gained a lot of military exploits in this battle. In this battle, they beheaded more than a thousand people and captured 0 people!
Lu Xu knew the details of these people, and during the battle he also saw bandits like Xu Laosan who died in battle with great grief, anger and hatred.
The curses of these people before they died made Lu Xu realize that hundreds of years of banditry have completely separated these people's outlook from the mainstream society in Daliang. They regard robbery and smuggling as serious business, and murder and arson as a matter of course.
.
Now Lu Xu doesn't have the time or energy to correct their three views, nor does he want to lead them into trouble for himself.
These people are indeed incompetent on the battlefield, but with their abilities, if Lu Xu takes them to his rear, it is indeed very likely to cause him a lot of trouble, and Lu Xu is a person who is very afraid of trouble.
So he simply cut off the possible causes of trouble at the source.
After taking inventory, Lu Xu found that the bandits' battle damage ratio this time exceeded 40%. He also knew that without Pei Junxiong's cooperation, this bandit army would not be able to withstand such heavy casualties.
Although I don’t know what the bandit leader was thinking, Lu Xu did basically achieve his pre-war goal.
The only problem is that because he did not follow the route given by Yu Yuanliang, he cannot use the fact that he was ambushed to prove that Yu Yuanliang betrayed him.
Lu Xu's original plan was to write some "confession" casually, and then ask a few bandits to sign it, and it would be considered their confession. Lu Xu was not afraid of others suspecting and exposing him as a fraud.
After all, all the businessmen in Qinzhou Prefecture knew that Yu Yuanliang was colluding with the bandits, and they all knew that Yu Yuanliang wanted the bandits to ambush Lu Xu this time. More importantly, the facts were indeed as Lu Xu said in his confession
As written, it's just that Lu Xu didn't ask this fact from the bandits.
However, this was just Lu Xu's original plan! Now there are some changes in the plan, which will allow Lu Xu to get more evidence to prove Yu Yuanliang's betrayal.
This change was the capture of Zhao Feiyi.
After the battle, Lu Xu organized his men to harvest their military merits by cutting off their ears, and then buried the bodies on the spot. At the same time, he also chose to set up camp nearby to treat the wounded.
After all the work was carried out in an orderly manner, Lu Xu sat on a wooden box and waited for Xie Zhen to press Zhao Feiyi up.
When Zhao Feiyi saw Lu Xu, he was still pretending to have lost too much blood. But in fact, his injury was not on the aorta at all. After Xie Zhen and the others bandaged it, his wound had stopped bleeding long ago.
.
He just didn't want to face Lu Xu, so he deliberately pretended to be weak.
Lu Xu had already understood who this guy was from the memory of the original owner. He knew that this person had extremely bad character and was full of tricks.
So he didn't believe the look Zhao Feiyi put on from the bottom of his heart. Lu Xu winked at Xie Zhen, and Xie Zhen kicked Zhao Feiyi in the knee, forcing Zhao Feiyi to kneel down to Lu Xu!
But Zhao Feiyi just murmured: "Dog...dog thief..."
Then he said nothing.
Lu Xu sneered! In Zhao Feiyi's world view, Lu Xu was the enemy who caused him to end up in this situation.
If Lu Xu hadn't intervened, Zhao Feiyi would have already found a scapegoat, and he wouldn't have to join the army to die.
If Lu Xu hadn't interfered with his actions, he might have forced the imperial commissioner to agree to his conditions and remove him from the list of people to be called to the battlefield.
If Lu Xu hadn't caught him, he wouldn't have been forced into the army!
Although in the eyes of outsiders, these are all Zhao Feiyi's fault. But in his world view, these are the history of Lu Xu's deception and the reason why he hates Lu Xu.
The last time the two met, Zhao Feiyi had fully demonstrated his hatred for Lu Xu to Lu Xu.
Lu Xu was sure that this guy must have imagined this way of killing him countless times? But now he had to kneel in front of him, and he didn't even dare to say a harsh word! This was different from the last time Lu Xu saw him
The fierce and domineering Zhao Feiyi who arrived was completely different.
Lu Xu said to Xie Zhen: "Get the doctor from the team."
Xie Zhen slapped Zhao Feiyi hard on the back of the head and said, "Sir, there's no need. This guy's injury is nothing at all, he's just faking it!"
Lu Xu said: "Of course I know he is pretending. But after all, we are not talented in torture to extract confessions. What if we insist on killing people? It's better to have a doctor watch on the side!"
A dangerous smile appeared on Xie Zhen's face!
"Sir, why bother the doctor about this matter? I have many ways to make him suffer, but he can't die no matter what!"
