Chapter 51 Heavy losses and the problem of wounded soldiers
"All your commanders have been captured. If you don't surrender quickly, how long will it take?"
Yuchi Gong commanded the army and roared to the sky, which shocked the nearby Yellow Turban soldiers. They looked behind in horror, only to find that none of their three commanders were there. Looking at Yuan Jun, the three commanders were tied up with five flowers.
Where is the courage to continue fighting? They all surrendered and fell to their knees!
Of course, there will always be some stubborn resisters at any time.
Still fighting with Yuan Jun soldiers, shouting
"The great virtuous teacher will surely overthrow the tyrant!"
"General Heaven will avenge us!"
Yuan Shu had nothing to say about these die-hard loyalists to Zhang Jiao. He left their whole bodies for them and ordered his subordinates to give these people a good burial!
At this point, the Runan Defense War came to an end with the great victory of Yuan Shu's army.
Yuan Shu arranged for Yuchi Gong to bring 10,000 soldiers to clean the battlefield. He also took the prisoners into the city, and he went to Liu Pi and other five Yellow Turban commanders to lobby.
"Ding! Xing Daorong's skill "Fortunate General" is activated, and the current host's luck value increases."
"Ding! Effect 3 and 4 of the host's skill 'Emperor's Fate' are activated, and the current host's luck increases significantly.
And Liu Pi's intelligence value is reduced to 55
Gongdu's intelligence value reduced to 58
He Yi's intelligence value reduced to 51
He Man's intelligence value reduced to 53
Huang Shao’s intelligence value has been reduced to 57”
This wave of Yuan Shu's comprehensive intelligence reduction reduced all the five Yellow Turban generals to more than fifty...
"You were forced to revolt because of those corrupt officials.
Do you really think that General Zhang Jiao and others can overthrow the Han Dynasty? It's just a dream..."
With the activation of Yuan Shu's skills and the blessing of General Xing Daorong.
Yuan Shu's charm value of 98 came in handy now. The five yellow turban generals were shocked by every word and action, and their faces turned pale and they were trembling.
He talked continuously for more than an hour!
"Come here, untie the five warriors!"
"Lord!"
Lu Fang on the side was a little worried, but at Yuan Shu's signal, he still loosened the bonds for the five people.
Lu Fang untied the rope, Liu Pi and others took a deep breath, then moved their shoulders and arms, looked at each other, and then knelt down in front of Yuan Shu.
"We are willing to go through fire and water for Mr. Yuan, no matter what!"
Looking at the five people kneeling on the ground, Yuan Shu nodded with satisfaction, helped them up one by one, and carefully dusted them off.
"My Yuan Army will become stronger with all of you coming to join us!"
Yuan Shu's eyes were bright and his body was shaken. The personal charm he exuded made Liu Pi and others widen their eyes and become a little stunned.
Now that Liu Pi and others were successfully recruited and surrendered, the Yellow Turban soldiers they brought with them had to persuade them to surrender.
"Liu Pi, Gong Du, Huang Shao, He Yi, He Man, Wu Ming'er and others convinced the soldiers under their command as quickly as possible...
If you don’t want to join the army, you don’t have to force yourself to do so. The boss will make his own arrangements.”
The fifth general nodded, cupped his hands and walked towards the prisoner of war camp.
Looking at the backs of the five men, Yuan Shu asked Lu Fang beside him, what was Yuan's army's loss in this battle with the Yellow Turban Army?
"Lord! Our army has 80,000 elite soldiers. In this battle, 5,000 were lost, 5,000 were seriously injured and could no longer fight, and 6,000 were slightly injured... We killed 10,000 enemy soldiers and captured 40,000 strong soldiers, plus five old, weak, women and children.
Ten thousand……"
Listening to Lu Fang's words, Yuan Shu couldn't believe it!
"What! Our army suffered so many losses this time? How did it happen? The other side didn't have all the weapons, but there were so many casualties...
I’ll ask the commanders to come see me later.”
Yuan Shu was furious. He really didn't expect that the losses would be so huge this time. Including those who could no longer fight, the loss was about 10,000.
"Lord! After all, this is the first time for most of our soldiers to go to the battlefield and see blood for the first time..."
Lu Fang's words seemed to remind Yuan Shu.
Of these 80,000 elite soldiers, excluding the Huben army he brought back from Luoyang and the bandit-adapted army from Qingfeng Village, the rest were newly recruited in Runan. They were just training troops but had never been on the battlefield. Such a loss would be a big loss in the future.
It’s inevitable!
"Well...that makes sense."
Although what Lu Fang said was good, Yuan Shu would discuss it in detail with those who were in charge of training in the army.
The current primary goal is to recover the counties occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, then recruit and surrender those Yellow Turban soldiers, appease the casualties, and restore production in Runan County...
About an hour later, the five Yellow Turban generals came to Yuan Shu one after another.
"Report to my lord! There are about 20,000 people who are willing to continue to serve in the army, and the rest all hope..."
Liu Pi did not continue, but Yuan Shu also knew what he meant. With a wave of his hand, he signaled the five generals to go to the county magistrate Xun You and listen to his arrangements.
For the remaining soldiers who were unwilling to continue serving in the army, Yuan Shu decided to give them a sum of money to reclaim wasteland or engage in business...
Anyway, as long as we don't go astray, it will be beneficial to the development of Runan.
After solving the prisoner problem, Yuan Shu strode to the military camp.
The first thing we went to was the injured barracks of the military camp. At this time, there were many cries in the camp, which made people feel distressed! On the other side, the doctors were busy and anxious.
For a while, no one noticed Yuan Shu's arrival...
Looking at the scene in front of him, Yuan Shu's eyes were moist and he turned sideways to give Lu Fang instructions.
"Go and talk to the kitchen and prepare more meat these days to replenish their health."
Yuan Shu pointed at the wounded soldiers in front of him, and Lu Fang immediately understood and left quickly.
"Alas! You have sacrificed your life and blood for me, and I will not treat you badly."
Talking to himself, Yuan Shu came to a wounded soldier and straightened his clothes. This move naturally attracted the attention of other soldiers.
"You...you are..."
When the wounded soldier saw that Yuan Shu had come to see him and others, he was incoherent for a moment and couldn't believe it. His eyes burst into tears and he tried to kneel down with difficulty, but was stopped by Yuan Shu!
The other wounded soldiers also wanted to salute, but were also stopped by Yuan Shu.
"Brothers! You are all good. This battle is a victory because you saved all the people in Runan.
You are great heroes!"
Yuan Shu's words were like giving the soldiers a shot in the arm. Everyone burst into tears, feeling that the bloody battle was worth it!
"I came here just to understand the situation. If I have any needs, I can put them forward..."
Whether it's a lack of clothes, not enough herbs, or a leaky house, as long as the request is not excessive, Yuan Shu will satisfy it.
After staying for a long time, it’s time for Yuan Shu to leave!
When he was about to leave, Yuan Shu saw the miracle doctor summoned by the system.
With a childish face and a strong body, Yuan Shu bowed his hands in a gesture of respect.
"Hahaha! Highway, why are you here!
The wounded barracks is a little short of manpower recently, which is really troublesome..."
Manpower problems are a very important issue. Insufficient manpower may result in wounded soldiers not being treated in time, and thus dying.
Soldiers who can pass the baptism of blood will become the pillars of the army!
