Looking at Wei Jun leaving the shore, Shi Ji and Tao Ji looked at each other, with unspeakable bitter smiles on their faces.

On the surface, the Wu army was defeated. They successfully blocked the Wei army's attack and protected the position to the north, causing the Wei army to return in vain.

However, this battle was a tragic victory. The number of casualties of the Wu army was almost three to four times that of the Wei army. In other words, killing one thousand enemies, the Wu army also lost at least three to four thousand troops.

If we follow this style of fighting, the Wei army only needs to do so a few more times, which will be enough to eliminate the Wu army's troops. Therefore, the Wu army seems to be weak on the surface, but it still has endless troubles. The subsequent battle will only become more and more difficult.

Not to mention anything else, the calmness of the Wei army when retreating had already made the Wu army unable to start.

Generally speaking, an army is at its weakest time when it retreats. If the Wu army does not even have the ability to pursue victory, then how likely will they win in the face of the fierce attack of the Wei army?

This battle was just the first attack launched by the Wei army. Although the Wu army successfully repelled the Wei army, the casualties of the Wei army were quite limited. Six thousand people attacked, and the number of casualties was only more than one thousand. It can be said that he was repelling unscathed.

If the Wei army continues to launch an attack tomorrow and send more troops to come, while the Wu army uses almost all their trump cards. If we fight again, how can we talk about the chance of winning?

So although the Wu army won a victory, Shi Ji and Tao Ji looked gloomy because they knew very well that the next battle would become more difficult and the situation was not optimistic at all.

To put it bluntly, this battlefield was a protracted war. If the Wei army had not encountered major setbacks or failures, it would definitely not withdraw its troops easily.

On the surface, the Wu army seemed to have won the battle today, but in fact, the Wei army did not lose. After all, in terms of losses, the Wu army's losses were far higher than that of the Wei army. When the Wei army retreated today, no one can guarantee that they would not continue to attack tomorrow. If the Wu army's losses were several times that of the Wei army every day, the Wu army would really not be able to survive the battle after a few days.

Tao Ji called Tao Kang over and asked him to clean up the battlefield immediately, bury the bodies, and treat the wounded. He picked up the weapons and equipment that could be picked up as much as possible. Especially the weapons and equipment of the Wei army were more sophisticated than those of the Wu army, and it was the focus of cleaning up and could not be left behind.

The next battle will only be more cruel and intense, so Tao Ji must be fully prepared and prepared for tough battles.

This battle also exposed many problems with the Wu army. With obvious advantage in military strength, Tao Kang's men could not resist the Wei army's attack and were defeated. If Shi Jiru's army had not arrived in time to reinforce, they would have been afraid that the position in the north would have been lost.

The defense system of Panyu New City is completely integrated. Any loss will lead to catastrophic consequences. Today's battle actually caused Tao Ji's cold sweat. His location is farther from the north. After receiving the news, Tao Ji also quickly led his troops over.

In fact, Tao Ji went there too late. If Shi Ji hadn't taken the lead in reinforcements, the daylily would probably be cold when Tao Ji led his troops to arrive.

This battle undoubtedly reminded Tao Ji. Obviously, Tao Ji had underestimated the landing ability of the Wei army before. He thought that without warships, it was impossible for the Wei army to use bamboo rafts to complete the landing of the river.

Therefore, Tao Ji was relatively evenly distributed in terms of military strength. He did not specifically increase his troops and ignored defenses in various directions because the north would become the key point of the Wei army's attack.

After all, Tao Ji had read the military strategy and knew the strategies of attacking east and pulling tigers away from the mountain. If the commission uses fraud and uses feint attacks to attack the north, but actually sneak attacks elsewhere, the Wu army will really not be able to deal with it.

However, this time the Wei army obviously did not use any tricks. They just crossed the river from the north. The inconspicuous bamboo raft in Tao Ji's eyes almost became a sharp blade to destroy the Wu army. Thinking about it now, Tao Ji was also secretly frightened and very scared.

It seems that the defense system of Panyu New City must be adjusted. If this continues, Wu Jun will be too passive.

Through today's actual combat, Tao Ji did see the strength of his Jiaozhou army, and there was still some difference with Shi Ji's Jingzhou army. This is a fact, and Tao Ji did not deny it. Moreover, Tao Ji also had another idea, that is, the north would become the key point of the Wei army's attack. When the Wu army was defending, it must put the strongest force in this position. Tao Kang was not able to take on this important task, and only Shi Ji could be competent for this position.

So Tao Ji discussed with Shi Ji, hoping that Shi Ji could replace Tao Kang with him and Shi Ji would take charge of the defense line in the north.

Shi Ji did not refuse, but agreed. Now Shi Ji and Tao Ji are sitting on the same boat, prospering and losing. Shi Ji did not want any problems in the defense line in the north. When he should take responsibility, he still has to take responsibility.

However, the next day, the Wei army remained silent. Not only did they not launch an attack, but they even stopped exercising exercises that lasted for several days, and the other side was silent.

This made Shi Ji more puzzled. It is logical that the Wei army failed to attack yesterday, and today it should be the reorganization of the troops and the battle again, so that the Wu army would not give a chance to breathe.

What's more, in the battle yesterday, the Wei army only lost only a thousand people, and the bamboo rafts suffered very little. If we fight again today, there will be no pressure at all.

But why did the Wei army stop moving?

Shi Ji was confused and hurriedly sent someone to other directions to investigate to see if the Wei army had found a new attack point.

The area of ​​this sandbank is not too large. If you ride a horse, it only takes half an hour to go back in a circle. The whistle horse sent by Shi Ji quickly returned and reported to Shi Ji that not only did not be attacked by the Wei army elsewhere, but even the figure of the Wei army had not seen half of them.

Shi Ji couldn't help but frown. If something goes wrong, it will be a monster. If the Wei army continues to attack today, it will prove that the main attack direction of the Wei army has not changed. If the Wei army does not move, there must be something tricky here.

Shi Ji was uneasy and ordered his generals to keep an eye on the movements of the Wei army and prepare for defense. He set off to return to Panyu New City, and went to meet Tao Ji to discuss countermeasures.
