This battle lasted from day to late at night, and the Shu army used a large number of sky bombs.
The outer city and the city gates were all blown to pieces.
Soldiers from both sides fought a life-and-death battle in the broken city walls and at the city gates.
The Shu army wanted to rush into the city in one go and capture it directly.
However, the defending Gan army did not give the Shu army such an opportunity at all.
Late at night, the Shu army saw that they could not take the city and finally had no choice but to retreat.
Zhao Hao immediately asked someone to count the casualties.
Nearly half an hour later, Wusong reported that the number of casualties on his side exceeded two thousand.
The number of injured soldiers reached more than 7,000.
Among them, more than 3,000 were seriously injured and more than 4,000 were slightly injured.
However, among these wounded, there are still about 5,000 who can still fight again.
As for the Shu army, its casualties were more than three times theirs.
There were more than a thousand corpses left at the city gate alone.
There were also those outside the city. Roughly speaking, the number of Shu army soldiers killed in battle alone exceeded 5,500.
The number of seriously injured and lightly wounded definitely exceeded 10,000.
Although this record can be regarded as a great victory for the Gan army.
However, Zhao Hao couldn't be happy at all.
Because, once the Shu army launched such fierce attacks two or three times.
Then the Luoye City would be in danger of falling.
After arranging all the follow-up matters, Zhao Hao returned to the City Lord's Mansion again.
The general led the troops and participated in defending the city for a whole day and night.
Fortunately, there was Wusong, a group of guards, and a team of Qingqi to protect him.
Otherwise, he would be in real danger.
Even so, there were several times when I almost got hurt.
But there was no way, as the commander, he had to lead the way at this time.
Only in this way can the fighting spirit of all soldiers be encouraged.
If the commander doesn't fight to the death, how can the soldiers fight to the death?
There is a very important reason why the great army can march forward courageously no matter what enemy they face.
That is, whether it is the general leading the team or the junior generals, they are the first to rush forward and fight desperately.
This is the tradition of the Dagan Army.
It is precisely because of this that over the years, they have developed such a blazing, fearless fighting spirit.
Although this was Zhao Hao's first time serving as the captain, he also understood that he could not abandon this tradition.
When she returned to the City Lord's Mansion and saw him coming back covered in blood, Jiang Yiren was so distressed that tears welled up in her eyes.
However, she didn't say anything, but asked someone to prepare hot water and bring clean clothes.
Zhao Hao walked over and said softly, "Don't worry, aunt, I'm not hurt!"
Jiang Yiren nodded and said in a trembling voice: "Hao'er, take a shower and have a good sleep!"
Zhao Hao nodded slightly, took off his armor, and got into the bathtub.
He felt extremely comfortable soaking his whole body in the hot water.
My spirit gradually relaxed.
After soaking for more than half an hour, he came out of the bathtub, changed into clean clothes, and ate something simple.
Then he fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
His nerves were on edge for nearly a day and a night.
Don't dare to relax at all.
I'm already exhausted.
Now that I have eaten, sleepiness is coming over me like a tide.
However, he didn't sleep for too long.
After sleeping for less than three hours, a group of generals arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.
He immediately stood up and asked about the follow-up situation.
Wu Song said, "Sir, the broken city gate has been restored overnight."
"However, the gap in the city wall that was blown open by the thunder bomb is still being repaired."
"It will probably take two days."
"Also, the seriously injured and the lightly injured have all received treatment."
After Wu Song finished speaking, one of the generals named Zhou Tong also spoke quickly.
"General, among the seriously injured, the number of deaths is very small."
"This is all thanks to the general's foresight in recruiting a number of military doctors in the city in advance."
"We also taught these military doctors how to treat patients in advance!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand and asked, "What are the Shu troops outside the city doing now?"
Wu Song shook his head and said, "Not yet. After such a tragic battle, they must have been deeply affected."
"I believe that they will not attack the city again in the short term!"
Zhao Hao said, "We still can't let our guard down. Tell the brothers guarding the city to keep a close watch."
Everyone said yes.
Zhao Hao said, "You have all worked hard. Go down and have a rest. I will take care of the defense of the city!"
The generals did not refuse, nodded immediately, turned around and left.
The consumption of these people will only be greater than Zhao Hao's, not less.
After seeing everyone off, Zhao Hao looked at Wu Song and said, "Second Brother Wu, go and have a rest too."
Wu Song shook his head and said, "Sir, I don't need to rest!"
Zhao Hao said, "Go ahead, even if it's just to get some sleep. The Shu army won't make any moves right now."
Upon hearing this, Wu Song nodded and turned away.
Zhao Hao ate something else, then led a few guards and the Qingqi people out of the City Lord's Mansion and climbed up the city wall.
Sure enough, there was no movement in the Shu army camp.
Seeing this situation, Zhao Hao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
