The melee between tens of thousands of troops from both sides lasted from noon to when the sun was about to set.
In the end, after the remaining Uighur troops of less than 10,000 were defeated and fled, the soldiers on the Dali side were basically beaten to their limit.
This may be considered a weakness of the expeditionary force.
Because of the formation, although all soldiers cannot be said to be both prosperous and devastated, after the qi and blood are merged into a whole, whether they are supplying the generals or forming a shield to protect themselves, all the qi and blood are consumed at the same time.
Therefore, there will not be a situation where one person tries his best and the other person still has enough energy to fight again.
Before the energy and blood are exhausted, whether it is the divine general or the soldiers forming the formation behind them, their strength can remain at a peak position for a long time, and even the speed of decline is slower than that of ordinary people.
However, once the consumption of energy and blood can no longer maintain the formation, then the ability to fight again will also be lost.
There are gains and losses. In a low-demon world like the Ancient Moon Realm, even a realm master like Di Xin can only make choices without breaking the rules.
But unless the difference in strength is too great, even if the expeditionary force is pushed to its limit like it is now, the Uighurs who will be unable to survive will still be the Uighurs who have the superior military strength.
As the saying goes, don't pursue the enemy when you are poor. Although there should be no reinforcements for the Uighur deserters who were left with only the remaining defeated generals, this was an away battle after all. In order to prevent the expeditionary force from completely losing the ability to fight again in the event of an unexpected situation, Ouyang Xuan decisively ordered to stop the pursuit.
Although Ouyang Xuan has never found any trace of Rakshasa soldiers since Hu City, he has never relaxed his vigilance.
The enemies hiding in the dark, no matter how powerful they are, are existences that people have to be wary of.
After cleaning the battlefield, a team of cavalry was sent to pick up His Royal Highness King Yu when he returned. Ouyang Xuan took the remaining army to another place and camped again.
Then, there are statistics on the losses of the expeditionary force in this battle.
…
The sky was getting dark, and the full moon hung high in the sky again. Countless stars were looming under the moonlight.
The largest tent in the center of the temporary camp on the grassland was Di Xin's tent.
After Wei San's report, Ouyang Xuan opened the door curtain and walked into the commander's tent.
After a whole afternoon of non-stop fighting, there was a gap in his chest that could almost avoid the goggles. One of his shoulder pads was cut off. After taking off his helmet, his originally smooth hair became messy.
There was a trace of blood on his face that had not yet been wiped off.
Such blood stains did not belong to Ouyang Xuan. In fact, although he looked a little embarrassed, there was not even a slight wound on his body.
This is the strange thing about the divine general. With the unlimited supply of Qi and blood to the soldiers at the rear, the wounds on his body can always be completely healed in the first time.
If Ouyang Xuan's own energy and blood hadn't been consumed by most of him, just looking at his performance, one would have thought that he was deliberately pretending to look like he had gone through a battle.
And Ouyang Xuan is not an exception.
All the divine generals, except those whose limbs were accidentally cut off, as long as they did not die in battle, were just like Ouyang Xuan. Apart from their embarrassed appearance and the consumption of energy and blood, there was no trace of wounds.
After entering the commander's tent, Ouyang Xuan handed over the roster after statistics.
"Your Highness, this is a list of all the losses of the expeditionary force in this war."
Di Xin took the roster, glanced at Ouyang Xuan who had no time to deal with it, and frowned slightly.
After confirming that Ouyang Xuan only looked a little embarrassed on the outside and had no internal damage, he relaxed his brows and said, "Tell me."
"yes."
Ouyang Xuan slightly handed over his hand, and then began to report: "After a troop replenishment, the expeditionary force returned to its full strength of 30,000. However, during this battle with the Uighur army, it once again lost about 5,000.
troops."
He paused, and then continued: "Among them, the main attacking cavalry lost 2,000, the heavy armored shield bearers lost 1,000, the spearmen and sword bearers lost 1,500, and other arms were scattered in total.
Five hundred people.”
"In addition, there are countless serious injuries and minor injuries, but most of them are not life-threatening."
Five thousand troops, nearly one-sixth of the troops were lost, and countless wounded.
When Di Xin heard this, he frowned slightly again.
This battle with the Uighur army was the most intense and the most costly battle the expeditionary force had fought since its expedition.
However, he didn't say much. War is like this, and sacrifices are inevitable. Having been the Human Emperor for countless years, Di Xin was not too indecisive to show his expression for this.
But Ouyang Xuan's words haven't stopped yet.
"Also, about 1,200 war horses were lost, and shields, armor, knives, spears, etc. were all lost..."
"What was the result?"
Di Xin directly interrupted Ouyang Xuan's report. Ouyang Xuan had statistics on the losses of these baggage, so he only needed to know a rough idea.
When Ouyang Xuan said the word victory, a look of excitement appeared on his face.
"Big victory."
Ouyang Xuan couldn't help but raise his voice a little and said: "This time, the Uighurs have put all their chances of victory in this battle, and concentrated almost all their troops here. According to the statistics of the dead of the Uighur army, they have
But only less than 10,000 defeated soldiers escaped."
"What's more important is that the innately strong man from the Uighur clan who was hidden in the army died at the hands of Mr. Zeng."
"Now there is only one innate strong man left in Huihe, and the remaining troops are no longer enough. Our army only needs to rest and regroup before we can attack Huanglong directly under the leadership of His Highness."
As long as the remaining power of the Uighur clan is uprooted, the small grassland can be naturally included in the territory of Dali.
This is another great achievement.
No one would despise his own contribution, let alone his contribution to opening up new territories. It was only expected that Ouyang Xuan would be excited.
Di Xin did not show the same excitement as Ouyang Xuan.
In his opinion, it is not surprising that the expeditionary force has achieved such a level, and the current achievements are not beyond his expectation. As for the expansion of territory, the entire prehistoric world was conquered by Emperor Xin himself, and now this achievement
How could he see it in his eyes?
If he becomes the Realm Lord of the Ancient Moon Realm and turns the entire Ancient Moon Realm into his territory, he might be excited.
Rather, Di Xin was a little confused.
Concentrating almost all the troops and taking the initiative to fight, it shows that the Uighur people really put all their chances of victory in this decisive battle, and this cannot be true.
However, the Uighur clan has two innate great masters. Since they want to complete their work and fight in one battle, why only send one innate great master?
