Chapter 2156 Defeat
This kind of thing is like a flood that breaks through a dam. Once there is a hole that forms a tendency to burst the dam, it can no longer be stopped. The more people there are, the more chaotic it is, and the more trampling there is when people are running for their lives...
After daybreak, Sun Pu's army fled more than 40 miles away to reorganize the team. More than 20,000 of the 50,000 troops were killed!
Now there are about 30,000 left, and many of them are injured!
Needless to say, the food and fodder were basically wasted and could not be recovered.
At least 3,000 horses were also lost, and I'm afraid most of them fell into the hands of the enemy...
Sun Pu’s eyes went dark and he fainted from anger!
When has the young master of the Sun family, who has had a smooth and comfortable life, ever suffered such a loss, such a shock, and such a sense of humiliation?
The hatred is real hatred, and the anger is also real anger...
It's good enough that he didn't vomit blood and just fainted.
The generals looked at each other in bewilderment, all thinking it was bad luck!
How can we fight this battle? The commander is so narrow-minded! No need to ask, we will definitely lose if we continue to fight.
It's so unlucky.
Although this young master of the Sun family has the title of a descendant of a general, he was favored because he was the youngest son. He grew up in the capital like other noble sons. He has never been to a military camp for training, let alone fought in a war. I'm afraid he has not even read many military books!
If he didn't have a good father, it would be impossible for him to lead the troops at this time if he wanted to do some work to gain experience.
And these 50,000 troops were indeed obtained by him from Wuhan City by using his status to force his way out.
He thought that with sufficient troops and a huge momentum, he would definitely win this crushing battle, but who knew that he would end up like this!
Forget it, let’s retreat.
So, after discussing it, several generals decided not to bother waking up the unconscious Sun Pu - his life was not in danger anyway.
The generals ordered him to be put into a carriage, and having his men wait on him, they gave the order to retreat with all speed.
I don't believe that after he wakes up, he will have the nerve to order us to stop the counterattack.
In fact, the vibration of retreating at full speed was really intense. Sun Pu was awakened by the shock not long after running.
But he pretended not to wake up.
He wished he could just stay unconscious like this! It would be too embarrassing to wake up.
He had forcibly obtained 50,000 troops by signing a military order. Although half of them were lost, there were still so many horses, catapults, and siege ladders. All of them were silver! A lot of silver!
How should I explain it when I return?
Different from the gloomy situation on Sun Pu's side, the entire Huaixi provincial capital was in a frenzy!
Everyone was excited and full of confidence!
Lord Shao is worthy of being Lord Shao!
In one encounter, the enemy's 80,000 troops were defeated!
It turned out that I had made the right decision to follow Lord Shao.
Zheng Sangge, Wu Guan and others led the troops to take over the camp left by Sun Pu, collected weapons and war horses, and also smiled from ear to ear.
They have too few horses!
Including all the horses in the ranch, there were less than two thousand strong horses selected from the whole territory that were qualified to go to the battlefield. Now they got more than three thousand horses at once, and now they have five thousand war horses!
Wu Guan led his men to dig out all the catapults and ladders, and after an estimate, they were shocked: Sun Pu brought at least fifty catapults and hundreds of ladders.
Fortunately, he was unlucky. For some unknown reason, all these catapults and ladders were destroyed and were of no use at all.
Otherwise, this war would be extremely brutal!
They won by sheer luck...
Later, Zheng Sangge had all these things gathered together and invited craftsmen to see how much could be repaired.
