Five days later, they finally returned to the camp on the northern front.
Upon learning that Yun Zheng and Jia Yao had returned safely, the generals on the northern front came running to greet them.
"Thank God, His Highness and Madam Jiayao are both fine..."
"We finally got you back..."
"Your Highness, your leg is injured, you should take a carriage!"
"My dear brother, you and your wife have survived a great disaster. We must celebrate tonight..."
The generals gathered around and talked in unison.
Yu Shizhong even specially brought a horse-drawn carriage over.
Looking at the generals surrounding him, Yun Zheng couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
"That's enough, that's enough!"
...
...
Yun Zheng stopped the overjoyed generals and ordered, "Let's talk about the celebration later! Yu Shizhong, tell me about the situation these days first! The rest of you, go away first!"
"yes!"
Yu Shizhong took the order, rode his horse and followed Yun Zheng and Jia Yao, reporting the situation to them.
In fact, the infantrymen who were forced to land in the western desert did not suffer too many casualties.
The combined casualties of Wangqi, Zulu and Mundo were only more than 2,000 people.
Moreover, most of them were casualties from the Mundo and Zulu tribes, while the heavy infantry of Wang Qi's tribe suffered less than three hundred casualties.
However, in the battle of the Solon Valley, both the Northern Palace Army and the Northern Huan suffered heavy casualties.
The Northern Huan cavalry suffered more than 8,000 casualties, including six generals above the rank of thousand men, and Heasu was seriously injured.
The Northern Army also suffered more than 7,000 casualties, including the loss of four generals of the fifth rank and above, and Qu Zhi was seriously injured.
Among them, the Blood-Cloth Army suffered more than 1,400 casualties, and the deputy general Lu Xing was also seriously injured.
Among the 1,500 personal guards accompanying Yun Zheng, more than 800 were killed or wounded, including one young commander who was killed.
Listening to Yu Shizhong's report, Yun Zheng and Jia Yao's hearts began to twitch violently.
"The casualties...are they so great?"
Jia Yao clenched his fists tightly and his voice trembled.
How many people did they lose when they attacked Turtle's Back?
There were so many casualties in the battle at the Soran River?
“It is indeed very large.”
Yu Shizhong sighed softly, "The northern barbarians are very strong, and many of them use blunt weapons, which are difficult for our armor to resist..."
If swords and knives hit soldiers in full armor, it is very likely that nothing will happen.
But it is difficult to defend against blows from blunt objects.
The key is that the northern barbarians are too strong!
Blunt weapons can be said to be powerful weapons in the hands of the northern barbarians.
However, there is a downside to using blunt instruments.
Not deadly enough!
Although the northern barbarians have well-developed limbs, not every one of them is extremely strong.
They use blunt instruments, which can easily cause serious injuries, but are not directly lethal.
Unless a blunt object hits a person's head directly.
This is very different from their weapons.
Take their cavalry lances for example. Once they pierce a person with the impact of the warhorse, it would be difficult for the person to survive unless he was extremely lucky.
However, serious injuries caused by blunt force trauma are mostly internal organ injuries or broken bones.
With this kind of injury, many people can recover as long as they receive timely treatment and long-term recuperation.
However, compared with the skin injuries caused by swords and knives, the recovery process of this kind of injury is much longer.
Take the Blood-Throated Army for example.
Although there were more than 1,400 casualties, only more than 700 died directly or from serious injuries.
Most of the people suffered broken bones or internal injuries and are currently recovering.
The situation is almost the same for the Northern Huan cavalry.
Among the more than 8,000 casualties of Beihuan, half were seriously injured and needed proper care.
It was not until Yu Shizhong said the following words that Yun Zheng and Jia Yao finally felt a little better.
Although the casualties were heavy, it was much better than when they first heard about them.
If so many people were killed or disabled in the battle, they would surely be in so much pain that they would be unable to breathe.
However, even so, they still felt painful.
It’s not impossible to have heavy casualties.
But it depends on the situation.
Originally, they could attack from both sides and easily defeat the cavalry in Duilunglangri's hands with their absolute superior force.
According to their plan, the total casualties in the battle of Sauron Valley should not exceed three thousand, and they can force the enemy to land with their absolute superior force.
But the sudden intrusion of the northern barbarians completely disrupted their plans and caused them to suffer more than 10,000 casualties.
How can they not feel pain?
After taking a deep breath, Jia Yao asked again: "How is He Asu's injury?"
Yu Shizhong replied: "It's not life-threatening, but it will take at least half a year to recover..."
Knowing that Heasu was not in danger of death, Jia Yao was relieved and asked, "How is the spoils?"
"this……"
Speaking of the captured items, Yu Shizhong suddenly hesitated and stopped talking.
"Speak!"
Yun Zheng looked at Yu Shizhong with a smile, "You didn't kill all the people from Beihuan, how can you keep this secret?"
Yu Shizhong laughed dryly and replied, "We have captured more than 30,000 prisoners, seized more than 16,000 slightly injured and healthy war horses, and more than 7,000 war horses were either dead or seriously injured..."
This is a pretty good haul.
However, thinking about the casualties they had suffered, Yun Zheng couldn't be happy.
After a moment of silence, Yun Zheng asked again: "Are those 30,000 captives only from the various tribes in the western desert, or do they also include captives from the northern barbarians?"
"They are just captives from the Moxi tribes."
Yu Shizhong replied: "Because Your Highness and Madam Jiayao were forced to jump off the cliff, the soldiers were so angry that they left almost no barbarians alive. Only a dozen barbarians survived by chance. After the interrogation, I beheaded them directly..."
At that time, no one knew whether Yun Zheng and Jia Yao were dead or alive.
All the soldiers vented their anger on the northern barbarians.
Those dozen or so captives were all rescued by him and Miaoyin.
Otherwise, the dozen or so captives would have been chopped to pieces by the angry soldiers.
In addition to Jia Yao, there are also people in Beihuan who understand the barbarian language.
It was also with the help of the Beihuan people that their interrogation was able to proceed.
"Why did the northern barbarians suddenly attack us?"
Jia Yao asked immediately.
Although she and Yun Zheng had already analyzed it, she still wanted to get a definite answer.
"It's all that bastard Lou Yi's fault!"
Speaking of this, Yu Shizhong could not help but feel his teeth itching with hatred, "That bastard deceived Duilonglangri and fled to the northern barbarian territory with nearly 20,000 troops. As a result, he was ambushed by the northern barbarians. Not only did he suffer heavy losses, but even Lou Yi was captured..."
After Lou Yi was captured, he lied to the northern barbarians, saying that they were just the vanguard and that there would be a large army behind them to attack the northern barbarians.
Those idiots from the northern barbarians didn't even bother to verify the truth of the news. They just organized a large army and attacked us out of anger.
After hearing what Yu Shizhong said, Yun Zheng was so angry that he cursed.
damn it!
They were cheated by that bastard Lou Yi!
This bastard has never defeated them once on the battlefield, but he has betrayed them several times in a row!
If this bastard hadn't died at the hands of the northern barbarians, if I had the chance to see him again, I would definitely skin him alive!
