Chapter 381
"Your Majesty, in this battle, our army killed more than 600 soldiers and injured [-]. Among them, the Poshen Camp and the Shenji Camp were wiped out, and the guerrilla generals Chen Lan and Xiang Chong died in battle... "

After a few hours.

Fu Youde led a group of military officials to complete the statistics of the casualties this time.

More than 1 soldiers and horses, more than [-] casualties at one time, and two famous generals died in battle.

It can be called the heaviest loss since the rise of the Huai Army.

Coupled with the loss of continuous defense of the city these days, the total loss of nearly [-] to [-] in the process of fighting with the Sui army and Zhang Shicheng's army.

If it weren't for Yangzhou's continuous replenishment and timely replacement of the wounded soldiers on the front line, the Huai army, no matter how elite, would be unbearable.

In the battlefield of cold weapons fighting, if the army loses one out of ten, its morale will drop drastically. If it loses [-]% or [-]%, even the elite troops in history will collapse.

The entire army was wiped out in the war, basically they were ambushed and passively wiped out.

There are also few examples in the entire history of actively fighting to the last man and being wiped out.

Fighting with a knife in person is different from musket shooting in the source world. Musket shooting is too fast, killing people is too fast and the distance is too far, so they cannot be affected by blood and evil spirit.

Therefore, in the musket era, there are often examples of the last soldier dying in battle.

"Chen Lan, Xiang Chong..."

Wang Jing's expression moved slightly, and he sighed.He ran fast enough, but Yang Shuang climbed up the city wall himself and still caused great damage.

If he came later, not only Chen Lan and Xiang Chong, but also great generals such as Tang Shengzong and Wang Bi would hate the battlefield.

Chen Lan was originally a general under Yuan Shu's command.

Xiang Chong was the leader of Liangshan who came to defect with Wu Yong.

According to their abilities and reputations in history, Chen Lan's potential should be at the sixth level, and Xiang Chong's potential at the fifth level. When they first arrived, they could fight in all directions with bravery.

But at this time, the military generals of the sixth rank are first-rate.

When meeting seventh-rank generals, they are no different from ordinary hundreds of households, they all end up being killed by one move.

"Yang Shuang, I will kill him alone, and avenge the generals and soldiers who died in battle!"

Wang Jing said in a deep voice.

His eyes showed a fierce murderous look.

"In addition, the bodies of the soldiers and generals who died in the battle were collected and buried properly, and their pensions will be allocated an additional [-]%! If there are children in the family, the royal guards will personally distribute the food until they reach adulthood!"

Fu Youde said with emotion: "Your Majesty is benevolent, with such compensation, even if you die in battle, it will not be in vain!"

He knew that the Huai army valued soldiers the most. It was the first princely force in the Jianghuai area to open up military practice to ordinary soldiers. The soldiers of other forces died as soon as they died in battle. There was no such thing as compensation.

Once killed in battle, the family will lose their support.

Every time a war ends, the major forces must give rewards to their soldiers in a timely manner to stabilize the morale of the army.Even in the top dynasties such as the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, only soldiers who have made contributions and survived can divide the land.

Only the Huai Army, in addition to giving land to soldiers after they died in battle, also gave them pensions to ensure that the families of soldiers who died in battle can survive.

This kind of pension makes the Huai Army have to guarantee that it will not be defeated. Once it is defeated, the pension alone will be a huge number.

Of course, this measure also guaranteed the strong morale of the Huai army.

……

The Huai army lost more than 1 soldiers and killed two generals with surnames, but their vitality was not lost. After some adjustments, a group of soldiers were transferred from Yangzhou to replace them, and their strength will soon be restored.

However, the Sui army and Zhang Shicheng's army were hurt.

There are as many as [-] to [-] soldiers and generals who have died in battle these days. It is only because of Yang Shuang's constant boost of morale that the soldiers of the army can hold their breath and persist until now.

Many of the soldiers were even more fascinated by the brutal fighting and evil spirits, and almost turned into beasts that only knew how to fight.

In a short period of time, 7 to 7 people can be lost by attacking a city. This is still not counting the loss this time. Some people may say that this is impossible, and [-] to [-] people can run rampant in the history of the source world. It is possible to die so much?

But sometimes, the fighting is so tragic.

In the original history, Gao Huan, Shenwu Emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty, was the overlord of the north in the middle and late period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

But such a hero, commanding an army of 50 million to besiege Yubi in the Western Wei Dynasty, is also besieging a city. He cannot attack for a long time, and directly loses an army of [-] when he sieges the city.

While sending Wei Xiaokuan to the martial arts temple, he was in a state of panic, obviously in his prime, but died of illness shortly after he retired from the army.

This is a typical example of the tragic casualties in siege warfare.

The more than [-] troops of the Huai Army lost [-]% of their achievements, and their morale fluctuated, while the soldiers and horses of Yang Shuang and Zhang Shicheng, including the loss of this war, had already exceeded [-]%.

When Yuwen Chengdu first arrived, they could still clenched their teeth and persevered with a glimmer of hope of winning the war.

but now.

After seeing with his own eyes that King Huai mastered the wind and thunder like a god, the Shenlong was about to bow his head, and the scene where Yang Shuang was blown away with one move, and he had to turn around and flee.

From Yang Shuang up to the bottom, all the soldiers lost their confidence in winning.

The morale of the entire army became sluggish.

Both sides have a big battle, and each has its losses.

For four or five days in a row, they were licking their wounds, the Huai army did not take the initiative to attack, and Yang Shuang and Zhang Shicheng did not attack the city again.

On the sixth day.

Two messengers with torn armor and bloodied bodies rushed to the camp located in the northeast of the camp, where Yuwen Chengdu and thousands of cavalry under his command were stationed.

"Major General..."

"The big thing is not good. The Huai army suddenly sent troops from Gaoyou and was besieging Xinghua City. The Patriarch sent us to break through the siege and asked the major general to lead the troops back quickly!"

These two messengers are Yuwen's family generals.

As soon as he saw Yuwen Chengdu, he rushed forward and cried for a while.

"Xinghua City is under siege?"

Yu Wencheng's heart was shocked, without hesitation, he immediately asked people to pack their bags, carried the gold-plated phoenix wings, and prepared to bring the cavalry back to help.

But he wasn't out of the camp yet.

Yang Shuang and Zhang Shicheng, who also got the news, arrived in person.

"General Yuwen, you must not act rashly in this matter!"

Zhang Shicheng kept yelling.

Zhang Shicheng breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Yuwen Chengdu hadn't set off yet.

At this time, the morale of the army was on the verge of collapse.

If Yu Wencheng left at this time, the Sui army and his troops would definitely be greatly affected, and a sudden collapse may even occur.

"If you leave at this time, you will hit Wang Jing's arms. If you stay here, we can join hands to stop the Huai army. If you leave, we and the Yuwen family will be defeated by the Huai army..."

"At that time, both us and your Yuwen clan will perish!"
