Hetao is at the junction of Bingzhou and the second camp of the Jin army. At this time, the main force of the Jin army has withdrawn into the camp, but Qin Liangyu, She Saihua and other female generals are anxiously waiting for Meng Tian's return.
Qin Liangyu was not stupid either. On the way back with her troops, she had already realized that it would not be easy to cut off the enemy this time. The reason why Meng Tian said this was just to make her withdraw with peace of mind.
Qin Liangyu was secretly upset, why did she believe it so easily, but she was already on her way back, so it was impossible to turn back. The only thing she could do was pray for Meng Tian in her heart.
"General Mengtian, you must come back alive."
Just as Qin Liangyu was praying secretly in his heart, spies suddenly came to report and found that a fire was burning dozens of miles away.
Qin Liangyu knew that this was a signal for a decisive battle between Meng Tian, who had been cut off from the rear, and Yuan Meng's pursuers, but he didn't know whether it was a fire set by Meng Tian during his retreat or a fire set to lure the enemy.
Looking at the direction of Meng Tian's army, all the generals' hearts were in suspense. They held each other's hands and waited quietly for Meng Tian to lead the army back, but when it got dark, no one was waiting to return.
"General, go back to camp." She Saihua sighed and advised.
"No, I'm not going anywhere. I'm just waiting here for General Mengtian to come back." Qin Liangyu said in a deep voice.
"General, the fire over there has been extinguished for several hours. If General Meng Tian could come back, he would have come back a long time ago. There is no way it would have been delayed until now..."
She Saihua sighed and persuaded, but no matter what she said, Qin Liangyu only had one sentence: "I will wait for General Meng Tian to come back."
Seeing this, She Saihua stopped trying to persuade her, but she was secretly wondering in her heart. Even if she failed to block Yuan Meng's cavalry, wouldn't anyone be able to escape?
After waiting and waiting, it was already dawn, but still no one from Duanhou's army came back, but the strange thing was that Yuan Meng's pursuers did not come after them either.
Just when Qin Liangyu was about to completely despair, under the morning light, a group of wounded soldiers in ragged clothes walked out of the horizon, leaning on each other, and slowly walked towards the camp.
Qin Liangyu suddenly showed a look of ecstasy and shouted: "General Meng Tian is back."
Everyone looked shocked. They were originally not optimistic about this separation, thinking that it would lead to a narrow escape from death. However, they did not expect that Meng Tian would actually find a way out.
Meng Tian, who was supporting Shi Long, saw that Qin Liangyu had led people to win. He immediately handed Shi Long over to the soldiers on the side. He stepped forward to salute Qin Liangyu and said loudly: "General Meng Tian will give orders to the general. The general will command eight thousand soldiers."
After the soldiers were cut off, we have now successfully repelled the pursuers. Six thousand one hundred and thirty-seven of our troops were killed in the battle, and one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three were returned."
After hearing Meng Tian's words, all the generals, including Qin Liangyu, couldn't help but take a breath.
No one expected that Meng Tian would repel the pursuing soldiers and then lead the remaining soldiers back.
The infantry defeated the cavalry, and it was still with a weak force? It has to be said that Meng Tian created a miracle.
Qin Liangyu glanced at the surviving soldiers and found that the more than 800 people in front of them were all injured, and there were countless missing arms and legs. Even Shi Long, the deputy general, almost died in the battle, and Meng Tian was also injured.
Not light.
Meng Tian's shoulders, arms, back, and thighs were hit by nine arrows in total. In addition, there were more than ten large and small scars on his body. What he was wearing could no longer be called armor. It was so damaged that almost no one was intact.
.
As the general, Meng Tian was injured like this, more than 6,000 of the 8,000 people outside the forest were killed in the battle, and the remaining people were all injured, which fully shows the brutality of this battle.
"You are all heroes."
After saying that, Qin Liangyu quickly shouted to behind him: "Where are the military doctors? Quickly, quickly treat General Meng Tian and all the soldiers."
Like the Qin Army, the Jin Army also established a medical care system early to provide maximum treatment and care for wounded soldiers.
After hundreds of military doctors worked for a long time, they reported to Qin Liangyu: "General, more than 1,800 soldiers have returned alive. Although we have tried our best to rescue them, more than 200 of them have died of serious injuries."
Qin Liangyu couldn't help but look pale after hearing this. Although she had not experienced yesterday's battle, she could guess how brutal this battle was. Nanzhong survived the ten-death dilemma, but eventually died of his injuries.
She also felt sorry for these people in her heart.
"Although the injuries suffered by the remaining people were not fatal, there were too many disabled people, more than 800 people. Their treatment costs were three times that of ordinary injured people."
More than 1,800 people returned, 200 died of serious injuries, and 800 were disabled.
In other words, the 8,000-strong army that retreated suffered nearly 90% casualties, and only 800 of them could return to the battlefield.
However, with so many casualties, Meng Tian's skill "Yu Hu" was fully activated, and the entire army's combat power surged to an extreme, so Wo Kuo was forced to withdraw his troops voluntarily.
After Qin Liangyu was silent for a while, he said to the military doctor: "They are all heroes. As long as they can be saved, I will do my best to save them, no matter the medicine."
"This is."
Meng Tian's return from the dead added a sense of joy to the newly defeated Jin army, while Yuan Meng's side was frustrated by the failure of the pursuit.
"Huh..."
Wokuotai, who had just returned, overturned the food on the table, but still couldn't understand his hatred, so he smashed the wine bottle in his hand.
Wokuotai led 20,000 cavalry to pursue him, but was defeated by 8,000 infantry and suffered 8,000 casualties. You must know that Yuanmeng captured the Jin camp without killing 8,000 people. This battle was in Wo Kuotai
From Kuotai's perspective, it was a great shame and humiliation.
Murong Jun looked at Wo Kuotai in confusion. He really couldn't understand why Wo Kuotai lost a battle that he was sure to win.
Although Wokuotai was a bit sexy, he was still very capable, otherwise he would not have been sent by Tiemu to serve as Murong Ke's deputy general and would not have been given the opportunity to lead the army independently.
Murong Jun subconsciously thought that Wo Kuotai underestimated the enemy. However, after listening to Wo Kuotai's explanation, Murong Jun realized that Wo Kuotai not only did not underestimate the enemy at all, but also paid great attention to it, but in the end he was still defeated.
This can only be attributed to the fact that Jin general Meng Tian was ten feet taller.
"This Meng Tian first cut off his own retreat to inspire the soldiers' desire to fight to the death, and then deployed a strange tactics that combined a crossbow formation, a shield formation, and a spear formation.
Under Meng Tian's command, the Jin army first fired with a crossbow formation, then with a shield formation to block the cavalry's impact, and finally with a spear formation. However, after being defeated by such multiple attacks, the advantage of our cavalry was gone.
"Wokuotai said with an annoyed look on his face.
Murong Jun frowned and asked: "But even if the cavalry loses its impact, the chasing army still has 20,000 people. Why can't they defeat the 8,000 Jin army?"
Wo Kuotai showed fear and said with a wry smile: "You haven't experienced this battle, so you can't experience that fear personally.
Everyone in the Jin army was like crazy. Even if they suffered more than half of the casualties, they were still not defeated. The fighting power of the remaining people was getting stronger and stronger.
In order to defeat the Jin army as soon as possible and reduce the enemy's level, I, Meng Libai, and Meng Liyuan joined forces to defeat Meng Tian, but not only did we not win, but we even defeated Meng Liyuan..."
Looking at Wo Kuotai with a bitter look on his face, Murong Jun knew that even though he had tried his best, he still lost to the weak Jin army in the end. This was definitely not because Wo Kuotai was incompetent, but because Meng Tian was too tenacious.
