Chapter 171 (1/2)

Jincheng county.

”Wenhou, how can you be like this

Beigong Boyu couldn't believe it and looked at Li Wenhou in front of him. He was hit by an arrow on his shoulder and was in a great sweat.

Li Wenhou said with a bitter smile: ”this time a certain loss can be big, Huangfu old son can calm a million yellow scarves, it is really different.”

Beigong Boyu quickly helped Li Wenhou to his seat, and asked, ”Wenhou, are you defeated?”

Li Wenhou said with a sad smile: ”it's not only a defeat, but a 30000 army under one's command does not save one in ten...”

”What?”

Beigong Boyu couldn't help but lose his voice. Li Wenhou had 30000 troops under his command. If he didn't save one army, wouldn't it mean that the whole army was destroyed?

He couldn't help but stand up and walked a few steps to the left and right with his hands on his back. In a short moment, sweat oozed from his forehead, and the upper and lower lips kept rubbing against each other.

Beigong Boyu suddenly turned around and glared at Li Wenhou: ”thirty thousand troops have been destroyed. How many casualties are there?”

It doesn't matter if there are 30000 troops in his hand. He still has nearly 80000 troops in his hand, which can maintain the situation for a while. The key is how much the exchange ratio between the Qiang people and the Han army is. As long as the Han Army has 20000 casualties, even if it is 10000 people, he can still maintain the war situation.

Under the Jingguang gaze of Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou lowered his head in shame.

”Old Huangfu is old in battle. I'm afraid that his death and injury are less than 5000.”

Five thousand? In addition to his 15000 northern army, Huang Fu song also commanded 20000 soldiers in three auxiliary prefectures and states, with a total of 35000 people and 5000 casualties. Even if he died in the war, there were 30000 people.

Five thousand is worth thirty thousand. Isn't 30000 equal to 180000?

Beigong Boyu was so black that she almost fell to the ground.

A moment later, he slowly looked up and sighed.

”From today on, we will restrain all the people from fighting against the old Huangfu bandits.”

Since the battle of Linjing, Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were afraid to fight huangfusong. During this period, huangfusong launched several exploratory attacks. Hu Qi either stuck to the city or fled, and did not dare to fight with huangfusong. Therefore, huangfusong recovered part of the lost land of Anding county and Fufeng County.

However, the number of horsemen was large. Although huangfusong was good at fighting and had excellent soldiers, there were a large number of Huqi. Once the two armies fought, the situation would turn into a decisive battle. If huangfusong was defeated carelessly, he would not only lose his reputation, but also fall into a situation of almost no troops.

Hu Qi is not the same as the Yellow turban thief. Hu Qi has a large number of horses, strong mobility and impact force. The Qiang people are brave and fierce. The victory or defeat of the two armies is not known. After all, military dangerous moves are only used occasionally. They often walk by the river. Where can they not get wet shoes?

For a time, the Qiang people stood firm and did not dare to attack. However, after a great victory, Huang Fu Song was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he imitated General Wang Jian of Qin Dynasty and refined his soldiers to wait for the opportunity.

Among the 32000 soldiers (3000 dead and 2000 wounded) in huangfusong's headquarters, the 15000 northern soldiers were the most elite, and the remaining soldiers of the prefectures and states were of average combat power. Huangfusong carefully practiced, on the one hand, he made Hu Qixin slack, on the other hand, he continued to train.
