After the whistle blew, all the Xixia troops on the left and right sides retreated without any hesitation.
It's not that easy to "chase for twenty miles" and come and leave whenever you want.
Lin Chong gave the order angrily.
The pursuit was done by the cavalry, and Lu Zhishen and other infantry generals stayed behind to clean up the battlefield.
The Xixia soldiers ran all the way to Longzhou and Xinzhou, and the Liangshan generals led the cavalry in pursuit.
The twenty-mile journey was very fast for the cavalry.
Lin Chong calculated that it was almost done and ordered the troops to withdraw.
This battle was a bit useless.
Lin Chong ordered his troops to retreat thirty miles and set up camp after briefly cleaning the battlefield.
At this time, Guan Sheng and others also retreated.
When they saw Lin Chong, Guan Sheng jumped off his horse and said with shame, "It's all because of my carelessness that I fell into the gold thief's plan, which caused the loss of the army.
I'm willing to be punished."
Sun An and the other three also jumped off their horses and said, "We are willing to be punished together."
Lin Chong looked at the embarrassed appearance of several people and the obviously reduced army behind him, and sighed, "I don't want to do this to my brothers, because we all underestimated the enemy too much.
Get on your horse and find a place to camp first and then talk about it."
After hearing this, several people got up and mounted their horses with guilty expressions on their faces.
They set up camp on a flat place.
Lin Chong's face was gloomy and silent in the tent.
The brothers sitting on both sides were equally depressed.
Suddenly Li Kui stood up and shouted, "Brother, give me a team of men.
I will kill those Xixia birdmen."
Lin Chong ignored him.
Qiao Daoqing looked at Li Kui and said, "Tieniu, sit down first and let me think about it first."
"I have an idea.
This gang of birdmen from the Jin Kingdom and the Xixia birdmen have joined forces to attack us, causing us to suffer such a big loss.
If we can't just take revenge, what else are we thinking about?"
Li Kui shouted with his eyes wide open.
Lin Chong raised his head and glanced at Li Kui, but said nothing.
Li Kui saw Lin Chong's angry eyes, curled his lips and sat down reluctantly.
Lin Chong shook his head and asked, "Can the casualties be counted?"
Xiao Rang stood up and replied, "Basically, our army lost about 30,000 people in the previous battle, and more than 5,000 were seriously injured and could no longer fight.
We have not yet counted those who were slightly injured.
More than 20,000 war horses were lost, but luckily the food and baggage were not too much lost."
After Xiao Rang finished speaking, he sat back.
Lin Chong frowned after hearing this.
It can be said that he has been invincible since the attack on Liangshan, and he has never suffered such heavy casualties.
In just one battle, more than 30,000 people were killed and more than 5,000 were seriously injured.
The total number of casualties in Canada was nearly 40,000.
This number is too great.
Lin Chong knew in his heart that the reason for such heavy casualties was mainly caused by the fire in the Jin Kingdom, but he was fortunate that although Guan Sheng and the other four brothers were a little embarrassed, fortunately they were all safe and sound.
"Xixia's sending troops was something we had not expected before, and of course it was the result of us underestimating the enemy.
Before the expedition, we only saw the Jin Kingdom's own strength, but ignored the existence of other forces.
This is something we should keep in mind if we do not think carefully.
Now that Xixia has sent troops, what was originally thought to be an easy battle has become complicated.
Judging from the current situation, the total strength of the Xixia and Jin Alliance is roughly between 110,000 and 150,000.

If the prediction is correct, Xixia should divide its troops to defend Longzhou and Xinzhou, and the Jin Kingdom will garrison the capital Huining Mansion to form a tripod with the two states, attacking and defending together to stop us.
Hum hum, they have a good idea.
Although their strength is more than 100,000, it is still too far for us.
The army will be stationed here for three days.
Dai Zong and Shi Qian, you two will lead people to inquire about the news and find out how many people Xixia sent and who led the troops.
After that, we will determine how to act.
In addition, people were arranged to send the seriously injured soldiers back to Yanjing, and proper arrangements were made for all-out treatment.
As for the injured horses, immediately send people to Zhuozhou to ask Brother Huangfu Duan to come for treatment.
Now that the war has begun, more horses may be injured in the future.
Asking Brother Huangfu Duan to come over can also reduce losses as much as possible," Lin Chong ordered carefully. .
There is no other way to order a three-day rest.
One is to gather information, and the other is to let the soldiers repair themselves.
After all, the morale of the soldiers will be affected to some extent by this defeat, and there are many injured soldiers, so they can just recover.
When the matter was almost discussed, Lin Chong asked the brothers to disperse, and then he sat in the big tent and thought about it.
Although Lin Chong is not a stingy person, he is also a character who must retaliate when he wants revenge.
This time, he was secretly manipulated by Xixia and suffered such a big loss.
It would be unjustifiable if he didn't express anything.
All the tens of thousands of Xixia soldiers in Longzhou and Xinzhou must be wiped out, but Lin Chong believes that this is not enough.
Originally, Lin Chong had no intention of letting Xixia go, but now they took the initiative to provoke him.
This was no different from seeking death.
But how to take revenge?
Lin Chong sat there and thought.
Although Xixia's participation in the war may make this expedition a little more troublesome, Lin Chong believes that it will not have much impact on the final result.
At most, it will just take a little longer to pay for the manuscript.
After destroying the Jin Dynasty, he originally wanted to directly establish a country and proclaim himself emperor, but now it seems that he can slow down a little and bring up the destruction of Xixia.
Thinking of this, Lin Chong stood up and came to the map to look at it.
Once the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, the entire north will no longer be able to threaten its existence.
By then, all threats will come from the Song Dynasty and the west.
Needless to say, within the Song Dynasty, there were three powers: the imperial court, Wang Qing, and Fang La, while in the west there was only Xixia.
"Xixia" Lin Chong muttered softly.
As soon as Lin Chong finished chanting, his eyes fell on a place name on the map.
Fenzhou, Fenzhou is not only bordered by the imperial court, but also close to Xiazhou in Xixia, and Fenzhou is now the territory of Liangshan.
Lin Chong's eyes kept wandering back and forth between Xiazhou, Fenzhou and Weisheng, silently calculating the possibility of a sneak attack on Xiazhou.
Currently Fenzhou's defender is Chen Xuan, and there are only two thousand troops in the city.
Two thousand men are definitely not enough, and it is impossible for Chen Xuan to lead troops to attack Xiazhou.
However, although Fenzhou had no troops, Weisheng had troops.
He had left a hundred thousand troops in Weisheng, guarded by Lu Junyi, Wen Huanzhang and others, mainly to prepare for future war with the imperial court.
But now it seems that we can definitely take action in advance.
Thinking of this, Lin Chong's eyes flashed.
He couldn't stay overnight if he had a grudge, and the evening newspaper was not as good as the morning newspaper.
After Lin Chong thought about it, he immediately called Guan Sheng and Sun An.
Yes, Lin Chong was planning to send these two brothers to attack Xiazhou.
Lin Chong didn't want to touch Lu Junyi and the others for the time being.
Guan Sheng and Sun An had just suffered a loss and needed a big victory to relieve their depression.
Although it was okay to stay here, Lin Chong wanted these two to lead the troops and fight fiercely.

Teaching Xixia a lesson would not only make them angry, but also make him angry.
After a while, Guan Sheng and Sun An came in.
Lin Chong looked at them and asked with smiles on their faces, "Are you two brothers willing to run thousands of miles to attack?"
