Liu Zongmin looked slightly ugly at this time and said to the deputy general on the side.
"Yes! General!"
The people beside him began to count, while Liu Zongmin looked at the defeated soldiers in front of him with a very ugly expression.
The king and himself really underestimated the officers and soldiers. We originally thought that the officers and soldiers were now the weak enemy. What would happen even if they were blocked midway?
Unexpectedly, we first encountered such a canyon, and then the other side actually blocked it when facing the impact of the cavalry!
Riding at a pace is still a good idea when the number of people is not very different!
Thinking of this, Liu Zongmin's eyes flashed with awe.
This army is so resilient! I and others really underestimated the army!
What I originally thought was that I would ride lightly, and with my flexibility and mobility, the intelligence from the spies would prove that the troops coming to stop me were all infantry, even if they could take advantage of the terrain.
But he is definitely not his opponent. With his advantage of light infantry, he can definitely break through their defense line easily. He didn't expect that the fight would be so brutal...
If he retreats later, when his cavalry is completely trapped in the quagmire, he might actually be wiped out by them!
Thinking of this, Liu Zongmin's face froze slightly.
At this moment, the deputy general who was counting the number of people came to Liu Zongmin's side on horseback.
"General, we still have more than 3,000 people left! As for horses, there are still more than 4,000 left."
After hearing the deputy general's words, Liu Zongmin nodded.
There was a wry smile on his face.
This loss is not insignificant.
At this time, the deputy general in front of him hesitated for a moment, looked at Liu Zongmin in front of him and asked: "General, should we continue to provide support now?"
"Support? What kind of support? We can't break through this canyon now!"
Liu Zongmin sighed slightly.
"Let's go! Go back and report the news to the king."
"Yes! General!"
…………
And the other side.
"How many casualties?"
Lin Yi asked the battalion commanders on the side with a serious face.
"We lost 190 people in our camp."
"We lost 210 people in our camp!"
"300 of our battalion died because many soldiers of our battalion were blocking the front, and many of them were directly hit and killed by horses!"
"Who isn't?"
"Our battalion is also blocking the front, and the guns we use are fire guns! Several good fire gun wielders have died!"
"you……"
Several battalion commanders started to quarrel.
"stop fighting!"
Lin Yi drank towards the battalion commanders in front of him.
"Your Highness entrusts this army to me! I am responsible for the lives of all the soldiers! Now that so many have died, I am the one who should suffer the most!"
Ji Yi shouted loudly to the people in front of him.
Several people around him fell silent.
"A total of 1,021 people died! 566 people were injured, 21 of whom were seriously injured!"
A military academy nearby reported a number to Lin Yi, and Lin Yi's scalp suddenly went numb.
More than a thousand people!
The total number of the First Guards Army is only 5,000!
With the establishment of five battalions, one battalion was completely wiped out!
Thinking of this, Ji Yi took a deep breath.
"Take care of the injured brothers first!"
With that said, Lin Yi walked towards Liu Shenjiang on the side.
"How are your casualties?"
Lin Yi looked at General Liu Shen and asked.
"More than 1,500 people died. When their horses charged, our people couldn't stop them."
Liu Shenjiang smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"what about you?"
Liu Shenjiang looked at Ji Yi in front of him and asked.
"We are almost the same, more than a thousand people died!"
At this time, General Liu Shen's expression when he looked at Ji Yi had completely changed. Before, he thought that the First Army of the Crown Prince's Guards looked like nothing more than a showpiece, and might break into pieces in a fight.
I didn’t expect it to be so resilient!
A new army is really not afraid of death when it comes to fighting!
Amazing!
Liu Shenjiang looked at Lin Yi with eyes full of emotion.
But Ji Yi was not in the mood to think about this. At this time, he pondered for a moment and took the map from the entourage next to him.
He looked at General Liu on the side and asked: "After this battle, we have suffered a great loss, but at the same time, Liu Zongmin's loss is even greater than ours. He should not continue to support Huaiqing Mansion. He is very likely to
Go back to Li Zicheng, what should we do next?"
Lin Yi looked at Liu Shenjiang in front of him and asked.
Hearing Lin Yi's question, General Liu frowned slightly. He looked at Lin Yi in front of him and said: "Our troops are mainly infantry, and their mobility is not as good as Liu Zongmin's army. We should not compete with them.
Speed, as for their target is Shunde Prefecture.
General Huang Degong had actually expected this result. The intruders must want to take our retreat! And we..."
Liu Shenjiang hesitated for a moment, looked at Ji Yi in front of him and said: "Let's go and join the generals, or we can station ourselves in a nearby city first and then wait and see what happens! Which one do you think is better for us?
!”
Hearing General Liu's words, Lin Yi's eyes showed a hint of contemplation. He looked at General Liu in front of him and said, "Let's first send spies to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Huang about what's going on here, and then we'll find a nearby city to station ourselves in."
Come down and recuperate first! After all, both our teams have injured people, so we’ll make plans tomorrow!”
"good!"
General Liu Shen nodded.
The two troops soon found a small town on the road from Huaiqing Prefecture to Shunde Prefecture and temporarily stationed there.
At this time, the fighting in Huaiqing Mansion reached its most intense level.
Two armies confront each other.
This is a game of iron and blood.
There were shouts of death, screams, and blood sprayed all over the ground.
Zhu Cixiang, who was in the distance, looked at the scene in front of him and felt nauseated. He was very uncomfortable with such a scene. He grew up in a peaceful era.
Where have I seen such brutal, primitive, bloody scenes of fighting!
A complete fight!
Two armies confront each other, a fight of life and death!
"Your Highness, I will come back as soon as I leave!"
Huang Degong looked at the scene in front of him, and he was obviously a little excited. With a trace of bloodthirsty in his eyes, he said to Zhu Cixiang who was standing aside.
After hearing General Huang Degong's words, Zhu Cixiang hesitated for a moment.
"General, there is no need for you to put yourself in danger..."
But Huang Degong did not listen to Zhu Cixiang.
"Protect His Highness well!"
After saying these words to the guards beside him, General Huang Degong rode a horse and dragged a Guandao directly into the battlefield.
Zhu Cixiang could see clearly that the huge Guan Dao in Huang Degong's hand was suddenly raised, and in an instant, he directly cut off the head of the intruder next to him!
Blood spurted out more than three feet high, spraying directly on Huang Degong's armor!
