Pingzhang Marquis Wang Shisen nodded and said, "Don't worry, Marshal! As long as I, Wang Shisen, am alive, the Liang State Zhenxi Army will never be able to break through the right wing of our Northern Expedition Army!"

After defeating the large formation of 150,000 Northern Jin infantry, the Huben Cavalry and the White Robe Cavalry did not continue to attack the 160,000 infantry and cavalry led by Duke Jiang of Northern Jin.

Instead, he retreated temporarily, leaving the battlefield to the 20,000 Modao soldiers and 20,000 white-robed soldiers of the North and South Guards, the East and West Guards, and the 20,000 Modao soldiers and 20,000 white-robed soldiers of the Personal Guards.

These 80,000 heavy infantry of the Zhenxi Army were all centurions with a combat power value of 85 points. Under their fierce attack, the 160,000 infantry and cavalry led by Duke Jiang of the Northern Jin State, although they performed extremely bravely, still could not withstand the Modao soldiers and white-robed soldiers.

Even the main general, Duke Jiang Liao Yongan, died at the hands of Long Ju, a personal guard general of the Zhenxi Army.

After defeating the 160,000 infantry and cavalry of the Northern Jin army, the Modao soldiers and white-robed soldiers did not continue to attack. Instead, 20,000 vanguard soldiers from the North and South Guards and the East and West Guards, 20,000 Wei Wuzu and 20,000 Qin elite soldiers replaced the Modao soldiers and attacked the troops led by Nanxiong Hou of the Northern Jin.

Under the successive attacks of the various units of the Zhenxi Army, although the right wing of the Northern Jin Army was not completely defeated until dark, it still caused considerable casualties to the Northern Jin Army.

At least 350,000 officers and soldiers of the Northern Jin Army died at the hands of the Zhenxi Army.

Unlike the Zhenxi Army which had the advantage, the Liang Army's center and right wing were in a very stalemate with the Northern Jin Army's center and left wing.

Until dark, both sides sounded the retreat, and neither the Liang army nor the Northern Jin army in these two directions could do anything to the other.

The commander of the Northern Jin army, General Rong Guoguan Qizhong, was stunned after receiving the casualty figures of his own side.

In just one day, the 1.48 million Northern Jin troops suffered 660,000 casualties, including 590,000 killed in action and 70,000 wounded, most of whom were seriously injured.

The right wing suffered the greatest losses, with more than 400,000 casualties, including 350,000 deaths, which is 110,000 more than the center and left wing combined. This shows how brutal the Liang State's Zhenxi Army was.

Pingzhang Marquis Wang Shisen, with his left arm bandaged, said to Guan Qizhong with a wry smile, "General, the loss is truly too great.

If we can't find a way to resist the attack of Liang's Zhenxi Army, we, the Northern Jin State, have no hope of winning this decisive battle."

At this time, the seventy-six-year-old Duke of Qing, Gu Zhijing, said in a hoarse voice: "My Northern Jin has no place to retreat now, and can only grit our teeth and persevere.

Tomorrow, I will lead my troops to resist the attack of the Liang State Zhenxi Army. As long as I am still alive, the Liang State Zhenxi Army will not be able to cross this line of defense."

Today, Duke of Qing, Gu Zhijing, also led his troops to join the fierce battle on the left wing of the Northern Jin army. Duke of Qing, Gu Zhijing had two sons, three grandsons, five nephews and eight great-nephews, all of whom died on the battlefield.

Guan Qizhong hesitated for a moment, then nodded to Duke Gu Zhijing of Qing, "We, Northern Jin, have indeed reached a point where we can no longer retreat.

Duke Qing, I'll leave everything to you tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Pingzhang Marquis Wang Shisen hurriedly said, "General, please let me lead our troops..."

Before Wang Shisen could finish his words, Guan Qizhong interrupted him, "Tomorrow I will use your troops as a reserve force.

It is impossible to defeat the Liang State Zhenxi Army. We can only choose another route of the Liang Army and then concentrate our forces to defeat it first."

Compared with the 660,000 casualties of the Northern Jin army, the casualties of the Liang army were much smaller.

After reading the casualty figures compiled by various departments, Prince Yong'an Chen Su couldn't help but twitch his lips.

In today's battle, the seven imperial guards in the central route suffered another 80,000 casualties, of which more than 70,000 were killed in action. The Leizhou, Xinzhou and Chizhou wing armies suffered a total of 30,000 casualties, of which more than 27,000 were killed in action.

The border troops on the right wing and the Pizhou and Huaizhou wing troops suffered a total of more than 100,000 casualties, of which about 90,000 were killed in action.

What Prince Yong'an found unbelievable was the casualty figures reported by the Zhenxi Army: only 15,000 people, of which less than 10,000 were killed in action.

You must know that according to the arrangement of Prince Yong'an, the left wing where the Zhenxi Army was located was the main attack direction, and the Northern Jin Army also deployed more troops to the right wing opposite the Zhenxi Army.

Prince Yong'an Chen Su also clearly saw today that the results achieved by the Zhenxi Army should be greater than the sum of his own center and right wing.

However, the Zhenxi Army suffered only a few casualties, which made Yong'an King Chen Su both surprised and happy.

The good news is that the strength of the Zhenxi Army has not been damaged, and the next battle will be much easier to fight.

What was shocking was that the Zhenxi Army was too powerful. Even with the full complement of the eight imperial guards, they might not be able to withstand the 400,000 Zhenxi Army led by Sun Hao.

What's more, the Zhenxi Army has more than just 400,000 soldiers. According to the intelligence obtained from the Jinyiwei, the Zhenxi Army has at least 600,000 to 700,000 soldiers left in Xizhou, or even more.

Prince Yong'an Chen Su handed a piece of paper with the casualty figures of each unit to Cao Tingjin, the Grand Commander of the Ganyang Protectorate, and said, "The combat effectiveness of the Zhenxi Army is much stronger than I expected.

I really don’t know whether this is a blessing or a curse for Daliang.”

Cao Tingjin took the paper and looked at it, his face showing shock, "The casualties of the Zhenxi Army today are surprisingly similar to those of my Ganyang Army.

Moreover, the number of casualties of the Zhenxi Army is 3,000 less than that of our Ganyang Army. Could it be that the Zhenxi Army reported it wrongly?"

Yong'an Prince Chen Su sighed and said, "The people below have verified with the Zhenxi Army. The Zhenxi Army indeed suffered only 15,000 casualties today, with only a little over 9,000 killed."
