As long as the sky bomb is used, the enemy will be killed on a large scale, and Da Gan and Shu will also suffer heavy casualties.
In the end, after two days and one night of crazy fighting, more than 20,000 people were killed on both sides.
The number of injured is countless.
The armies of Wu and Southern Chu were not as powerful as the Dagan army, but were clearly stronger than the Shu army.
Comparing the two, the coalition forces still have some advantages in combat power.
Moreover, they have the advantage in numbers.
Therefore, after two days and one night, Dagan and the Shu Kingdom suffered heavy losses.
Of course, the situation on the Wu and Southern Chu sides was not much different.
The entire threshing ground was more than 20 miles long, and almost every inch of land was eventually stained red with blood.
At the last moment of the fight, Xiao Chuyun had gone completely mad. He sent out his only 2,000 central troops and directly used thunder bombs.
This gave the coalition forces a huge shock, and only then did they separate on the battlefield.
After the battle, the Wu army and the Southern Chu army did not launch another attack, nor did they continue to attack Jianning City directly, but instead stayed on the spot.
Because they have very few remaining manpower.
Moreover, even those who survived had serious injuries on their bodies.
Even if we go to Jianning City, we won’t be able to fight.
On the other hand, the situation in Dagan and Shu was equally tragic.
Xiao Chuyun, as a great general, possessed powerful weapons such as the thunder bomb, but he fought the war like this. In the battle report to Jiang Wan'er, he asked for death three times.
After hearing the news, Zhao Hao's face turned grim. He let out a long breath and didn't speak for a long time.
Xiao Chuyun really underestimated the enemy.
This is obviously a trap!
Xie Daoxun probably didn't really want to go straight to Jianning City from the beginning.
No, maybe she had two plans.
If the initial 20,000 troops could hold out for one day, two days, or even longer.
Then, she would lead the army straight into Jianning City, completely open the barrier to the south of Dagan, and let in hundreds of thousands of Southern Chu troops.
If she couldn't stop them, she would just fight with the Dagan Army and the Shu Army in the threshing ground and not give Xiao Chuyun the chance to use the thunder bomb.
Perhaps Xie Daoxun did not want to see this kind of extreme lose-lose situation.
But she could accept it.
Because she achieved her goal.
When she met Zhao Hao last time she came to Dagandijing, she actually expressed why she wanted to start this war.
That is, to weaken Da Gan's strength.
This is her ultimate goal.
Now, this stranglehold directly wiped out Da Gan’s 30,000 troops.
Although she suffered heavy losses, she achieved her goal anyway.
Zhao Hao judged that this battle was basically over now.
Next, Nan Chu might launch a crazy attack on Jianning City.
If they really cannot defeat the enemy, the coalition forces will most likely take the initiative to seek peace.
Things really went in the direction Zhao Hao had guessed.
Not to mention being exactly the same.
Nan Chu launched a frantic attack on Jianning City, but with the arrival of 10,000 reinforcements equipped with new equipment from Da Gan, they defended Jianning tenaciously.
Finally, a month later, just when Zhao Hao had managed to make the steel into something of decent quality, the Wu and Nanchu states took the initiative to seek peace.
Because on the Wu side, the Shu army quickly moved towards Yuanyang and Muchuan, attracting the Wu army in Yucheng.
Then, he completed an interception halfway.
Although the Shu army's combat power was insufficient, it had an overwhelming advantage in numbers.
The 30,000 Wu troops that came to support Yuanyang and Muchuan were completely defeated by the 100,000-strong Shu army.
The Shu army took Yuanyang in one fell swoop.
Originally, they wanted to take Mu Chuan down as well.
However, they encountered a fierce counterattack from the Wu army.
Ultimately it failed.
This move further accelerated Wu's efforts to make peace.
In the end, Dagan, Wu, Southern Chu, and Shu held ceasefire negotiations in Tongshan City.
As for how the conversation went, Zhao Hao didn't ask any further questions.
Anyway, no matter which side, no one can gain any advantage.
He just sent two letters to Tongshan City.
The first letter was given to Xiao Chuyun, asking him to deliver 5,000 finished bombs to the Kingdom of Shu.
The second letter was given to King Xiaoyao. It contained nothing extra but the method of making the sky-high bomb.
After receiving Zhao Hao's letter, King Xiaoyao finally put his heart at ease.
The method of making the thunder bomb that they had longed for was finally obtained by the Shu Kingdom.
Moreover, the surprises were not over yet. During the negotiation, Xiao Chuyun actually took the initiative to offer him five thousand bombs.
This suddenly boosted the spirits of King Xiaoyao, who had originally lacked confidence during the negotiations.
The next day, during the negotiations, facing the Wu Kingdom's strong demand for Yuanyang City, King Xiaoyao no longer hesitated as before, but refused it outright.
He also made a harsh statement that if the State of Wu really wanted to take back Yuanyang, they should use swords and guns to do it.
The Wu negotiators were extremely furious, but they soon learned that Da Gan had actually provided the Shu with the thunder bomb, so they did not insist any further.
In the end, the four countries reached a peace agreement through negotiations, withdrew their troops and never started a war again.
With the signing of the armistice agreement, the four-nation war came to an end.
Half a month after the armistice was signed, Xiao Chuyun returned to the capital alone and apologized to Jiang Wan'er.
However, Jiang Wan'er said nothing and announced that a grand banquet would be held in two days to celebrate the ceasefire.
Zhao Hao made a rough calculation and found that the casualties on Dagan's side, from the beginning to the end, definitely exceeded 60,000.
Moreover, the amount of money and food consumed was countless.
This battle was really too painful for Dagan.
But even so, it is the best result that can be achieved.
If it weren't for Zhao Hao's mission to Shu, he would have completely pulled Shu into it.
It can allow Shu Kingdom to send troops directly.
It hardly needs any thought that the losses suffered by Da Gan were far greater.
…
In the courtyard, Zhao Hao was tempering a piece of iron, and Wu Song was helping him.
"Sir, General Chu Yun is back, don't you want to go over and take a look?"
Xiao Chuyun returned to the capital the night before yesterday. He entered the palace first, then came out of the palace. After returning to the mansion, he never came out again.
"I won't go. If anyone is suffering the most right now, it's him."
"If I go, I won't be able to comfort him. It will only make him feel more guilty. So, it's better not to go!"
Wu Song heard this and nodded slightly, then sighed and said, "This battle is indeed..."
Zhao Hao smiled helplessly and said, "Isn't it true that she's not pretty enough?"
Wu Song said: "Yes."
Zhao Hao shook his head and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. The other party is just trying to make both sides lose."
“This result is already very good.”
"I just hope that our General Chu Yun can come out as soon as possible!"
