Chapter 60 The vicious battle between the Sanshui Army and the Du Ji Army was fought from the afternoon until it was dark, and by this time, the inner wall of the Du Ji Army could not be found at all, and only a long pile of corpses between the two armies could be seen standing so high, and the blood was gushing out of the corpse pile, mixed in the surrounding soil, making the ground of the battlefield extremely muddy, and if you step on it, you have to exert a lot of strength to pull out your legs.
Soon, the blood clotted, causing the earth to clot into a dark red clod, and then new blood poured in The battle has been fought to such an extent that it is a nightmare for the soldiers on both sides, and it is also a test for the commanders of both sides, and now it is no longer the combat strength of the whole army, but the willpower, to see who can hold on, to see who can survive to the end.
In this competition, Remi Azabao defeated Liang Qi.
Remi Azabao is fighting with his back to the water, he can only grit his teeth and hold on, and there is no way to retreat, but Liang Qi is not, he still has a backhand, and there are reinforcements to count on, he will not and cannot exchange the lives of the entire army for this tragic victory.
After the battle until dark, Liang Qi took the lead in issuing the order to withdraw the army, this order is a great news for both the enemy and us, so a fierce battle for a whole day, the soldiers on both sides have been exhausted, everything in front of them is a double shadow, and the legs are trembling.
When the Sanshui Army retreated, the general of the Du Ji Army also ordered the whole army to chase and kill, but the soldiers below couldn't stand it anymore, and many soldiers were tired and fell in the blood and mud on the spot, lying on the ground, unable to move, and some people were vomiting, and they didn't know whether they were tired or disgusted by the corpses in front of them.
After the fierce battle, what remained was surprisingly quiet, and the Wind Army camp and the Dookie Army camp were silent.
The corpse collection teams of both sides were dispatched one after another to collect the bodies of their fallen soldiers on the battlefield.
It was only at this time that the Wind Army did not need to fight the other party in the Duki barracks.
Rushan's corpses were separated and transported away by people little by little, and it was hastily estimated that there were no less than 40,000 corpses left by the two armies, and neither of them took advantage of the other party.
Back at the barracks, Liang Qi immediately asked people to count his casualties.
The number of casualties in this battle reached 22,000, and the number of wounded soldiers was as high as more than 10,000, and the casualties added together exceeded 35,000, which was the largest casualty battle since the Sanshui Army entered Tia.
After reading the casualty statistics, Liang Qi sighed faintly and was silent for a long time.
After a long time, he opened his eyes and said: "Take back the corpses of our fallen soldiers as soon as possible, and in addition, pass a letter to General Guan Tang, telling him not to get too close to Vaal Town, and to find a hidden place ten miles away from Vaal Town to be stationed temporarily." ” "It's the general," Bai Yong on the side replied.
Shangguan Yuanrang said: "After only one battle, our army suffered such heavy casualties, and the crossbow arrows and stone bullets made were also consumed, how to fight next?"
"Fight" Liang Qi smiled bitterly, where can this battle continue to be attacked, Du Ji's army is too strong, and it is on the defensive, I am afraid that the strength of my entire army will be exhausted, and it may not be able to knock down the Du Ji military camp, he shook his head and said: "Our army is no longer able to do a strong attack, and on the fifth watch, our army abandoned the camp and retreated." ” Shangguan Yuanrang stomped his feet hard, he really didn't want to admit that he didn't have any upper hand in a head-to-head confrontation with Du Jijun.
He hung his head and said no more.
Liang Qi looked around and said: "The retreat must be fast, otherwise we will not be able to go far before we will be caught up by the enemy, and the baggage in the army, as long as it is not a necessity, all of them will be left."
Hearing this, Shangguan Yuanrang asked angrily: "It's all left to Du Jijun" Liang Qi said: "It's just that when we defeat the main force of the enemy, we will recapture it." ” "Hmph" Shangguan Yuanrang snorted, sat down angrily, tilted his head, and looked away.
It wasn't until the third watch that the corpse collection team of the Feng Army moved all the corpses of the fallen soldiers back to the camp, and there was no need to look at the corpses, just the collected military cards were enough to fill ten small boxes.
It was impossible to carry so many corpses when retreating, and Tia was too far away from the mainland of the Wind Country, and the corpses were transported back, and they had to decompose halfway, so Liang Qi ordered that the corpses be burned on the spot, and the ashes of the fallen soldiers were brought back to China after the war.
More than 20,000 corpses were not easy to burn, and they were cremated in batches.
Fortunately, the wind army cut a lot of wood in the early stage, so there is no need to look for firewood at this time.
When the body was burned, generals Liang Qi, Shangguan Yuanrang, and Bai Yong all came to the scene in person.
Looking at the piled up corpses gradually enveloped in flames, Shangguan Yuan let his bright eyes refract the jumping firelight, he sighed and muttered, "They are all my warriors of the gale" Liang Qi narrowed his eyes and responded, "Yes." ” "But who will remember them" Liang Qi was silent for a while and said, "Country." ” "If there was no war, they would not have died."
"Only by believing that you are fighting for your country and a righteous army can you not be crushed by the pressure of war."
Liang Qi turned his head, took a deep look at Shangguan Yuanrang, and said, "Yuanrang, we have a reason to have to fight, and the reason why we are here is to protect our country." ” Shangguan Yuanrang smiled and sighed lightly: "Isn't it ridiculous to stand on the territory of another country, but say that you are protecting your own country?"
Liang Qi was silent.
Bai Yong, who was on the side, cleared his throat heavily.
Shangguan Yuan let him know that his words could already be convicted of disturbing the morale of the army, but he didn't care at all, he frowned and said: "In order to save Tia, but to sacrifice so many warriors of my gale, who dares to guarantee that this war must be right" Liang Qi suddenly asked: "Do you know why I never get too close to my brothers in the army?"
Shangguan Yuanrang looked at him suspiciously, thought for a while, and said: "Because you are too arrogant and think you are noble, so you are high."
Before he could finish speaking, Liang Qi had already answered: "Because I'm afraid that the memorized faces will never be seen again after a battle."
Since you join the army, you must be ready to sacrifice for the country and the king, and you must firmly believe that the decisions made by the king and the court are correct, and without such awareness, you don't have to stay in the army, it is better to go home and farm, at least it is also a contribution to the country.
The last thing the army needs is the voice of complaining and questioning.
After speaking, Liang Qi turned around and walked towards his tent, waving his hand without looking back, yawning and saying, "I'm a little tired, I can rest for more than an hour now, I'll go take a nap." ” Looking at Liang Qi's back as he walked farther and farther away, Shangguan Yuanrang raised his eyebrows and muttered, "Liang Qi looks a little different today." ” Bai Yong nodded, walked to Shangguan Yuanrang's side, and said in a low voice: "Our army has not suffered such a large casualty for a long time, and the general must be very sad in his heart, although the general never said that as the commander of an army, the general is burdened with the lives of the soldiers of the whole army, and the pressure is far better than you and me."
"That's right."
Shangguan Yuanrang could of course understand how much pressure Liang Qi had, and because of this, Liang Qi repeatedly gave him the most dangerous tasks, but he never really resented Liang Qi.
When Liang Qi's figure completely disappeared from sight, Shangguan Yuanrang suddenly said: "He won't hide back in the camp tent and cry."
Bai Yong was stunned, scratched his hair, and said uncertainly: "No."
Shangguan Yuanrang shook his head and said, "Let's go and have a look." ” "It's not quite right" "With me here, what are you afraid of" As he spoke, Shangguan Yuanrang grabbed Bai Yong's wrist and strode towards Liang Qi's camp.
When he got closer, he didn't say hello to the guards at the door, and Shangguan Yuan let Bai Yong break in directly.
In the tent, Liang Qi and his clothes were lying on the bed on his side, and by the candlelight on the side, he was looking at the map intently.
For Shangguan Yuanrang and Bai Yong, who suddenly approached, his face did not show the slightest surprise, and he just asked lightly: "Something" Liang Qi was so calm, but Shangguan Yuanrang and Bai Yong were a little surprised, the former smiled embarrassedly, and said: "I made a bet with General Bai that you would run back to the camp tent and cry secretly."
"You're disappointed."
"You're really not sad at all," Shangguan Yuanrang stepped forward and shook his head.

Liang Qi put down the map, looked at Shangguan Yuanrang, and said, "A man's sadness is not only manifested in his eyes.
Isn't it?"
he looked down at the map again and continued, "I want you to show your grief by cutting off Remi Azabao's head with your knife in the Battle of Tomorrow. ” Shangguan Yuanrang slowly clenched his fists, nodded and said, "I know what to do."
As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Yong, turned around and walked out.
Before he left the camp, Liang Qi stopped him: "Yuan Rang" "En" Shangguan Yuan turned back.
Liang Qi Zhengse said: "We have to come to Tia to fight against the Duki army.
If your belief in this battle is not strong enough, repeat it a hundred times a day. ” Shangguan Yuan made the old man blush, and muttered, "My head is normal."
With that, the others had already walked out of the tent.
Bai Yong looked at Liang Qi, didn't dare to stay, and hurriedly followed.
On the fifth watch, all the corpses were burned, and the remaining ashes were temporarily buried on the spot and marked, and then, Liang Qi gave the order that the whole army retreated lightly, but all the heavy things were discarded.
According to his order, the Sanshui army, which numbered more than 70,000 people, left the barracks silently with only rations, and retreated in the direction of the town of Vaal.
During the retreat, there was silence in the team, only rumbling footsteps could be heard, and no one was still in the mood to chat.
On the other side, the Dookie barracks.
When the sky was getting brighter, Remi Azabao got up, and the first thing he did was to get out of the camp tent and go to the lookout to watch the situation of the Sanshui Army camp.
He raised his eyes to look at the opposite side, and the camp of the Sanshui Army was calm and silent.
Remi Azabao's heart moved, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "It's not good, the wind army has been defeated and retreated" As he spoke, he turned his head and shouted to the herald beside him: "Pass my military order, only 20,000 troops will be left to guard the camp, and the other soldiers will all follow me to fight and hunt down the wind army":
