Seeing that Zhao Feiyi could no longer hold on, a cry of death came from the other side of the battlefield.
Lu Xu lamented in his heart. He knew very well that he had brought out all his available soldiers. No matter whose soldiers and horses were killed at this time, they definitely couldn't be his own!
Zhao Feiyi was already frightened. The moment he heard the cry of killing, he thought it was an ambush by the "treacherous" Lu Xu.
After seeing the person clearly, Zhao Feiyi was overjoyed!
The visitor was none other than the King of the Nine Mountains. During the decisive battle between Zhao Feiyi and Lu Xu, the King of the Nine Mountains had gathered about 300 fleeing bandits to support Zhao Feiyi.
This was a timely help for Zhao Feiyi! If the Nine Mountain King had come a little later, Lu Xu might have captured Zhao Feiyi.
Now, with the addition of these troops from the Nine Mountain King, Zhao Feiyi not only regained the advantage in military strength, but also stabilized the front in one fell swoop.
It can be said that from this point on, Lu Xu has lost the possibility of killing Zhao Feiyi.
Even if Zhao Feiyi can't defeat Lu Xu now, there is no problem in running away.
Although it is a pity that he failed to kill Zhao Feiyi, fortunately, Lu Xu's original combat goal was to annihilate the bandits' effective strength as much as possible. It is naturally the best to kill Zhao Feiyi. If he cannot be killed, it would be better to weaken his strength.
Yes!
As a result, Lu Xu began to concentrate on leading the soldiers to launch a fierce attack on the bandits.
Because of their absolute superiority in weapons and equipment, even though Wei'anbao was at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, they still firmly held the initiative on the battlefield. Although the bandits stabilized their front, their casualties continued to increase.
surge.
Fortunately, the bandits still held on to their front.
After fighting for a while, the cry of killing came again from the battlefield!
Now it was Lu Xu's turn to be surprised!
According to Lu Xu's plan, Zhao Feiyi had already divided his troops at this time. The remaining thousand troops should have been isolated by the huge Wei'an Fort. Even if Zhao Feiyi had a way to send the information here, the ones who were divided
Those people were unable to respond in time.
But the current situation is obviously that the soldiers and horses that Zhao Feiyi separated have returned!
How could Lu Xu still not know? This was a trick played by Zhao Feiyi on him!
Thinking of this, Lu Xu raised his head and looked far away in the direction of Zhao Feiyi. At this time, Zhao Feiyi was also looking at Lu Xu. Seeing Lu Xu looking over, Zhao Feiyi showed a treacherous smile.
Lu Xu really didn't understand, what could Zhao Feiyi be proud of when he was beaten to the point of running away with his head covered?
But he also had to admit that when the number of bandits reached more than 1,500, Lu Xu really had no chance of winning.
If nothing else, they were his absolute main force. Those seventy men in armor were unable to afford such a long period of continuous combat.
Therefore, although Lu Xu was very reluctant, he still issued the order to retreat!
In order to prevent these new soldiers who had not received much professional training from turning their retreat into a rout, Lu Xu personally led the seventy soldiers in armor to break up the rear and let the large troops return to the battle fort first.
Zhao Feiyi really thought about taking advantage of Lu Xu's "rout" to attack him and kill Lu Xu in one fell swoop.
Using himself to save people, he felt that his banditry was no worse than the new soldiers in Lu Xu's hands. The reason why his men could not defeat Lu Xu's soldiers when the numbers were equal was because both sides were equipped with weapons.
The difference in level is obvious.
In terms of military literacy and fighting will alone, he felt that there was not much difference between his troops.
Just now, when the defeat was obvious, his troops almost retreated. He felt that Lu Xu's new soldiers would not be any better than his own troops.
So he decisively led a large force to cover up and kill them!
But were Lu Xu's seventy main force so easy to deal with? The bandits who were beaten with a combination of saber, eagle bow and cloth armor were howling.
Not long after, the ordinary craftsmen under Lu Xu returned to the city. On the way, they did not forget to take back the bodies of their comrades.
Seeing that the majority of the troops were safe, Lu Xu led his men and horses back to the battle fort in an orderly manner.
Zhao Feiyi didn't want Lu Xu to go back safely, but those seventy people brought a huge psychological shadow to the bandits.
No matter how Zhao Feiyi ordered the pursuit, the bandits standing at the front only shouted to kill without charging, allowing Lu Xu to lead the people away calmly.
By the time Lu Xu returned to the battle fort, bursts of crying and howling could be heard in the battle fort.
Lu Xu sighed slightly, knowing that it was the bereaved people mourning the death of their loved ones.
This time, Lu Xu took the initiative and chose as many people as possible who had not yet married and were not only children.
But this inevitably caused many families to lose their backbone. After all, although there were more than 2,000 craftsmen's households in Wei'anbao, there were 600 households, and on average there were only three or four people in each household.
Not to mention, even if Lu Xu is there to help those who have lost their loved ones live well, the pain of losing their loved ones is not something that ordinary people can easily accept.
For Lu Xu and Wei'anbao, the only good news may be that not many people died in this battle.
Although there was no careful statistics, Lu Xu roughly estimated that the number of casualties should not exceed fifty.
Now that Lu Xu is back, the first thing he does is to count the results of the battle.
According to statistics, a total of 34 people were killed in Wei'anbao this time and 72 were injured, including 11 seriously injured and 4 seriously disabled. The remaining patients with minor injuries can recover after receiving treatment.
When he heard the battle damage figures, Lu Xu sighed slightly: "Fortunately, although it is heartbreaking to lose so many brothers, fortunately we did not lose too much."
Lu Xu knew that the sacrifices of these people were not in vain, because behind these battle losses was the achievement of annihilating nearly 300 enemy soldiers.
This was the result of Niu Er and Lu Xu's estimates as conservatively as possible. When making statistics, Lu Xu did not include in the results any soldiers who were not sure whether they had killed or seriously injured those who participated in the battle.
In other words, Lu Xu’s actual results will definitely be even better!
This battle basically established the basic tone of the battle between Lu Xu and Zhao Feiyi. That is, before Lu Xu completes the task of arming Wei'an Fort, Zhao Feiyi cannot take Lu Xu's Wei'an Fort, and Lu Xu wants to break out of Zhao Feiyi's
It was also impossible to leave Wei'an Castle under heavy siege.
Lu Xu didn't care much about this. After all, his new workshop was about to be completed, and his arming of Wei'an Fort would be over soon. By then, it would be the end of Zhao Feiyi!
Zhao Feiyi, on the other hand, is obviously not satisfied with the results of this victory!
