Chapter 848 (2/2)

”Zhang Xiaowei,” he said with a smile, ”as long as our officers and men are of the same mind, not to mention the Liaodong army, even the Xiliang army and the Cao army are nothing.”

After today's great victory, Zhang Nan's confidence has greatly increased, and he immediately bowed his hand and said, ”please, Mr. Zhengnan, just give me your orders. I will listen to you.”

Step on step.

A moment of footstep sound came, Jiang Qi also came up with a happy face.

”Ha ha! Mr. Zhengnan, I have killed nearly a thousand of Liaodong cavalry this time, which can be regarded as a severe defeat to Gongsun Kang. ”

After winning the first World War, Jiang Qi was naturally elated and very happy.

The judge nodded and said, ”if we have won a great victory today, we should send scouts to report the victory to the Lord and stabilize the morale of the army.”

”Don't worry, sir. I'll send someone to report the victory to the Lord!”

”Today's soldiers fight hard, and kill pigs and sheep to reward the officers and men!” he added

Hearing the words of the trial match, the defenders naturally cheered and cheered one after another. In the evening of the same day, the soldiers and soldiers ate meat and soup and had a good meal. Their morale was greatly improved.

However, Liaodong military barracks are in sharp contrast with it, which can be described as lifeless.

Today, in the process of attacking the city, more than 2000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and only 7000 were left. However, this is nothing. After all, in the previous campaign, the number of soldiers lost in the three Koreas was already over 5000, and only 2000 were just a drop in the bucket.

What made Gongsun Kang feel the most heartache was the loss of nearly one thousand steeds in Liaodong. Jiang Qi and his axe men suddenly shot out of the cave. Liaodong iron cavalry was caught off guard and killed and injured hundreds of them. Then, according to Liu Yi's plan, he sent nearly a thousand Liaodong iron cavalry to dismount to fight and rush into the city along the tunnel.However, I can't imagine that the enemy troops should take the plunge and directly irrigate the tunnel with flood water. Most of the soldiers in Liaodong were killed and wounded, only a few survived. In addition, nearly a thousand Liaodong cavalry were damaged!

As you know, Liaodong is only 8000 cavalry in total. It is very expensive to keep cavalry. One cavalry needs two horses. It is not just eating grass to keep horses. In this way, the horses will lose weight and can't bear to fight. Even fine grain and even eggs were needed to support the horses, and enough food and grass was consumed to support five infantry soldiers.

Today, I lost a thousand horsemen in one fell swoop, which is equivalent to losing 5000 soldiers!

”Do you have any good strategies to break through Beiping city?” Gongsun Kang sat on the throne and asked in a voice.

However, both the powerful generals in the army and the literary officials did not say a word.

”Hum!”

Gongsun Kang snorted, rather depressed.

Gongsun sighed: ”well, Beiping city is a strong city in Youzhou. It's difficult for us to win Beiping just by relying on the strength of our army. Otherwise, we'd better wait until our father's reinforcements arrive, and then we'll have a fight.”

After listening to Gongsun Gong's words, Gongsun Kang sighed and said, ”well, that's the only way.”

From this day on, Gongsun Kang never organized a large-scale siege of the city, but ordered the three Han soldiers to dig ditches outside the city and pour water into it to prevent foreign grain from entering the city.

However, as a strong city of Youzhou, Beiping has already accumulated enough grain and grass for half a year. Therefore, even if it is surrounded, the soldiers and horses in the city are still in no hurry.

Gongsun Kang was so frightened by the trial that he refused to attack the city.
