In the summer of the 387th year of the Great Liang calendar, several northwestern prefectures of Liang suffered a century-long drought. Due to the government's ineffective disaster relief, wide...
The 300,000-strong army of Yanzi, Yuli and Shache was completely annihilated, and a large number of officers and soldiers of these three countries were captured by the Songfan army.
This battle outside Fengshou City can be said to be the first defeat suffered by the Zhenxi Army since its establishment, and it was a crushing defeat at that.
However, the victorious eldest prince Songfan Sangji was not happy at all.
In this battle, although the Songfan army won the final victory, the losses exceeded the psychological bottom line of the eldest prince Songfan Sangji.
This time, Songfan Sangji led 700,000 Songfan troops, of which 300,000 were the most elite Snow Mountain Cavalry of the Songfan Kingdom. As a result, in today's battle, the 300,000 Snow Mountain Cavalry lost a full 100,000 men.
In addition, 150,000 of the other 400,000 cavalrymen, composed of herdsmen, were killed.
"Grand Prince, according to preliminary statistics, a total of about 170,000 people from the three countries of Yanzi, Yuli and Shache were captured, and the generals commanding the troops of these three countries have also become our prisoners of war." Fude Solang carefully reported to the Grand Prince Songfan Sangji.
Fude Solang knew that the eldest prince Songfan Sangji was definitely not in a good mood right now. After all, they lost 250,000 cavalry in one battle, including 100,000 Snow Mountain Cavalry.
"How many prisoners of war from the Liang State Zhenxi Army were captured?" asked the eldest prince Songfan Sangji in a deep voice.
Fude Solang's tone suddenly became solemn, "Reporting to the eldest prince, the Liang State Zhenxi Army has captured less than a thousand prisoners of war, and they are all seriously injured and dying.
Even though the besieged Liang State Zhenxi Army officers and soldiers knew there was no hope of breaking out, they would fight to the bitter end. No matter how we tried to persuade them to surrender, it would be useless.
The eldest prince Songfan Sangji said with emotion: "It seems that it makes sense that the Liang State Zhenxi Army can dominate the entire Western Regions.
As much as possible, we will arrange for medical treatment for the seriously injured soldiers of the Liang State Zhenxi Army.
Warriors should be respected."
After a pause, the eldest prince Songfan Sangji continued, "All the captives from Yanzi, Yuli, and Shache will be escorted to Fengshou City and beheaded tomorrow.
These cowardly white ghosts are not worth wasting our food."
