Chapter 267: The Battle of Unification (4)

After the fierce battle, the smoke of the gunpowder had not completely dissipated, but it had been covered by the bloody smell of soaring into the sky.

When Luo Chengwu's military boots stepped here, the whole air seemed to solidify, and no one spoke. The Chu army on the city wall focused their eyes on the former, proudly thrusting their chests.

The seemingly indestructible Shengzhou City was completely conquered by the Chu army after just two days of persistence. Of course, this conquest is not accurate, the correct statement, for example, the Military Intelligence and Military Newspaper wrote.

"After two days of fierce battle, the outer wall of Shengzhou City has been taken down by our army. Now we are about to advance into the city. Relying on the protection of the king's Tianwei, we will surely conquer the whole city and clear away the thieves."

The Chu army only captured the city walls, not Shengzhou City.

But that's enough.

At least it is enough for Luo Chengwu.

"Lu Xiaoguang, what's the use of these two dog bastards, Che Jingyao, to retreat back to the city with the remaining soldiers? Are you planning to fight stubbornly and fight street battles with us?"

Cheng Wu, proud and fulfilled, walked on the blood-burning city wall. Looking north, he could overlook the entire silent and trembling Shengzhou City.

Putting his hands on the battlement of the city wall, Luo Chengwu looked quietly, looking intoxicated.

This city named Nanjing by his father, this thousand-year-old Jinling City is about to be captured by himself!

The glory of unification of the merits belongs to you!

Ten years ago, I was still begging for a living in Yangzhou, and I was confused every day.

This feeling of changing your destiny with your own hands is really great.

Luo Chengwu closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Even though the smell of gunpowder and blood were extremely pungent, this still did not prevent Luo Chengwu from becoming intoxicated by this.

Several military deputy generals stood quietly behind Luo Chengwu, and no one spoke rashly, for fear of disturbing the latter.

Until Yan Xiangming, the general governor of the First Army, came, the sound of the military boots treading the ground broke the silence.

"Second Young Master."

"There is no young master in the army."

“…General.”

Luo Chengwu then turned his head: "The casualties are counted?"

"Yes." Yan Xiangming nodded, his expression began to become much darker, and he spoke in a difficult voice: "In this battle, our army killed 6,740 people, and more than 3,000 other brothers were injured."

In just two days, the Chu army paid a total of 10,000 casualties in this Shengzhou City!

You know, the First Army is Luo Chu's old foundation in starting his family, and they are all elite among the elite.

The damage was so serious that Yan Xiangming felt his heart bleeding when he thought about it.

"What about the results of the battle?"

"More than 11,600 enemies were killed."

When talking about the results of the battle, Yan Xiangming lowered his head in shame.

This was the first time that the Chu army had a nearly one-to-one casualty ratio with their opponents.

Although the Chu army is the siege and has to suffer some losses innately, the casualty ratio seems to be completely acceptable, but don’t forget that times have changed long ago.

The Chu army, which possesses gunpowder, is the first established army in history with long-range strike power.

The relationship between offense and defense has long been less like those participants in the history of war.

Is the Chu army not brave enough?

Of course this is impossible. The soldiers of the First Army are all Iron-headed kids who are not afraid of death, but these casualties are far from enough to reach the level of fear of the enemy.

It can only be said that the Song army's will to resist reached an unprecedented height.

In the desperate situation where surrender is death and fighting is also death, the Song army chose the latter.

The weak Song Ting man also showed off a man's bloody nature in this cruel war.

Perhaps the final result was not a victory, but it was also worthy of respect.

This is also the case of mocking. If the Song army had been like this, then how could the world give Luo Yongsheng a chance to raise an army?

"General, now the remnants of the enemy have retreated into the city. Judging from this posture, it seems that they want to drag our army here to fight street battles."

Yan Xiangming frowned: "This is not possible. If you fight street battles, you can easily harm the people without eyes. The orders of the military Dharma King are not tolerated."

There was no need for Yan Xiangming to remind him. Luo Chengwu knew this, so he nodded and asked after hearing this.

"Do you have any ideas?"

"The last general means not to enter the city!"

Yan Xiangming scared Luo Chengwu as soon as he spoke. He is now approaching infinitely to unify the achievements, but Yan Xiangming told him, don’t enter the city?

How can I annihilate the remnants of the Song army without entering the city and how can I control the entire Shengzhou City?

A few days later, when Luo Yongsheng and his army arrived, could Luo Chengwu pass the errand of siege to Luo Yongsheng again?

Luo Chengwu thought about such a shameful thing and shook his head repeatedly.

"This move is inappropriate. Don't you know that the enemies in front of us are all enemies that our army hates to the core. What's more, the king is still waiting for the general's good news."

"The general can temporarily suspend entry into the city in the name of renovation, so that the soldiers will have no objection."

Yan Xiangming advised: "Although the remnants retreated, our army is obvious to all. This is a trapped beast and will die. Once we enter the city to fight streets, we may even be burned with the entire Shengzhou jade.

But if we keep our troops in motion and leave space and time for the remnants of the enemy to escape from the north, the enemy's morale will inevitably collapse and cross the river in a hurry, and we will be able to obtain the entire Shengzhou City at your fingertips."

This is a gambling.

Yan Xiangming's proposal was to bet that the morale of the Song army was on the verge of collapse. As long as the Chu army did not continue to attack, the Song army would likely go out of the northern city to cross the Yangtze River to evacuate.

But what if the Song army did not leave?

When Luo Yongsheng arrives, the war will continue.

Or maybe Luo Yongsheng will have a better solution to deal with it.

But no matter what, Yan Xiangming didn't want Luo Chengwu to send troops into the city to fight street battles.

Once the street fighting starts, it will be like a sea of ​​corpses and blood.

During the Anshi Rebellion, many prosperous and prosperous metropolis were destroyed by war, and Yangzhou City is an example.

This city, known as Jiangdu during the Sui Dynasty, was so huge and prosperous in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

As a result, it turned into a ghost in the tug-of-war between the court and the Huang Chao army.

Tens of thousands of Chu and Song dynasties are fighting here, and among the hundreds of thousands of people in Shengzhou City, how many will become lonely souls and resentful ghosts?

Maybe many or a few, but no matter how many, Yan Xiangming doesn't want to bet.

The education he received after joining the army did not allow him to bet on the lives of the people.

Luo Chengwu fell into deep thought.

His fists were clenched.

The first contribution of unification is coming soon, don’t you want it?

"I'll order the whole family to repair it for one day. This day is the time for them to escape. If I don't leave, I will lead my troops into the city."

After saying that, he shook his cloak and turned to the city. Yan Xiangming followed closely, still muttering.

"The General thinks twice, it's better to have a few more days of grace."

"This matter is undiscussed. If they don't get out, I will kill them all!"

Luo Chengwu looked at the houses in Shengzhou City again, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.

These are all his military medals!
