Chapter 184 Counterattack (1)

At the end of the war, Zhuge Liang asked people to clean the battlefield and treat the wounded soldiers, while ordering people to kill pigs and sheep to reward the three armies.

"Today, more than 6,400 rebels were killed and more than 2,400 prisoners were captured. As for the capture of military funds, it is still under inventory." Yang Yi held the bamboo slips in the central army's tent and said excitedly.

The rebels suffered nearly 10,000 casualties in one battle. Today's battle was a complete victory. Everyone in the tent was very happy. As for the rebels' military equipment, everyone really looked down on them. Everyone was concerned about eliminating the enemy's forces.

The flag was victorious, Zhuge Liang also smiled and shook his feather fan and asked easily: "Mr. Wei, how are our army's casualties?"

"There are about 2,000 casualties in our army, of which about 1,000 people died in battle." When talking about his own casualties, Yang Yi's tone became a little heavy.

Today's war started with the government army suppressing the rebels. The government army had complete armor and excellent weapons. The rebels could not cause any damage to them. In the end, it was because the elephant soldiers under Meng Huo were dispatched, which increased the number of casualties of the government army a lot.

"Mr. Wei, Yuan Jian, the list of fallen soldiers must be verified accurately. In the future, the court must be given a pension, and no one will be left behind." Zhuge Liang ordered.

He was used to war and knew that casualties were inevitable. All he could do was to eliminate the worries of the soldiers. Naturally, the casualties pension was also the responsibility of Yang Yi and Liao Hua, two of them, to join the army. They quickly obeyed their orders.

"Everyone, what do you think of the Yongqi rebels after today's war?" Destroying the enemy is the top priority for the army at present. Zhuge Liang wanted to know the intuitive feelings of the generals about the rebels' combat power after a war.

Guan Xing was so excited today that he was still very excited. When he heard Zhuge Liang ask, he bowed and smiled, "Prime Minister, although the rebels are numerous, Xingguan is just a group of mobs, which is really not worth worrying about." He paused and said, "But those barbarian soldiers are brave and a bit difficult to deal with."

Yang Qing and others nodded in agreement, which was their biggest feeling today. It was not that everyone was proud and complacent, but that the Han generals were all good soldiers of the country. If they could not defeat these pieced-up rebels in the field, they would not have to fight with the pseudo-Wei in the future.

Zhao Yun touched the beard under his jaw and said slowly: "Prime Minister, that elephant soldier is a bit difficult to deal with."

If the rebels had not been blocked by elephant soldiers for a while today, most of them would have been lost in the hands of the official army. If they eliminated Yong Kai's main force in one battle, it would be easier to recover Yizhou.

Zhuge Liang looked at Yang Qing and smiled and said, "It's okay, Ming has already had a way to defeat the enemy, and the elephant soldiers are no longer worth worrying about."

"Oh? What's the trick in Mingzhi?" Zhao Yun asked curiously.

Yang Qing smiled and bowed, "Don't be anxious, the old general, you will know it tomorrow."

Seeing that Yang Qing had a puzzle, Zhao Yun didn't want to ask anymore, and smiled scoundrelly: "Mingzhi, you..."

The next day, the official army rushed to Qin Zang's city to fight. Yong Kai and others were defeated and their morale was sluggish. They dared not fight, so they had to order the rebels to defend strictly.

Zhuge Liang saw that the terrain of Qin Zang City was steep and the army was difficult to expand. There were two camps under the city who thought they were stalking and knew that this city could only be taken by wisdom but not attacked hard. You must know that these soldiers trained by him were prepared for the future Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and they could not lose too much in the Nanzhong.

One dared not leave the city, and the other did not want to attack forcibly, and the two armies were in a stalemate. However, there was another army in the court coming from the north and heading straight into the rebels' hinterland, so Zhuge Liang was not panicked and took the opportunity to rest for a few days.

Zhuge Liang and others could afford to wait, but Yong Kai in the city was a little anxious. He had received a report that the Han army in the middle had entered his own territory and was invincible all the way to conquer the city and territories. It would be fine if other cities were captured. After all, his family needed to gather troops. Unexpectedly, the important camp in the north was also captured by the official army.

Cun County is the only place for the central government troops to enter Yizhou County. If this place is captured by the official army, it means that the northern department of Yizhou County is opened and the old nest is in danger.

"Waste, Yongjie, this waste, Cunxian lost it so quickly. It's really damn." Yong Kai was furious in Qin Zang City, and the teacups on several tables were knocked to the ground and fell to pieces.

"The prefect calms down. This is the case. We should focus on the enemy in front of us and defeat Zhuge Liang's army." Meng Huo stood up and advised.

The others followed and persuaded him a few times. Yong Kai suppressed his anger and said, "I ordered Yong Jie to shrink his troops in Kunze County, guard against him and defend him strictly, and I will defend Kunze for me."

"No." A deputy general responded and went down to pass the order.

Yong Kai turned around and said to Meng Huo, "Does Brother Meng have a clever plan to defeat the enemy?" Meng Huo shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The government army is powerful, and I can't think of any way."

"But if we continue to relocate like this, we will be attacked by both sides of the government army. By then, the major events will be in danger." Yong Kai said anxiously.

Meng Huo understood that Yong Kai had already had an idea, so he asked, "Why do you mean the prefect?"

"I still have to go out of the city to fight. If you don't hurry up, you will break Zhuge Liang's army. If you drag it down, I will die." Yong Kai gritted his teeth.

Meng Huo suspected: "But the combat power of the government army is so strong that our army is no match for us. If we go rashly, we may lose again."

Yong Kai knew the difference in combat power between the two sides, but the situation was so urgent that he could no longer delay it. If he could not defeat Zhuge Liang, it would be in vain to stay here.

"My brother is right, but I think we are not without the power of a battle. The last time the elephant soldier successfully blocked the official army, which shows how powerful the elephant soldier is. If we attack with elephant soldiers, we will first break through the official army formation, and then then attack them, there will be a chance of victory."

Everyone felt it was reasonable when they heard this. The power of the elephant soldiers last time was obvious to all. At least the horses of the official army were afraid of elephants. Without cavalry assistance, it would be much easier for them to defeat the enemy.

Meng Huo nodded and said, "Since you all have this intention, then I will fight Zhuge Liang again."

The next day, the official army came to the camp outside the city as usual to fight. The soldiers thought that the rebels would not go to war if they shouted or scolded each other. Unexpectedly, the city gate suddenly opened wide, and a group of rebels came out of the city, and rebels gathered with them from the camp.

Seeing this, Guan Xing quickly told Zhuge Liang to inform the backyard that these generals of the heavenly race took turns to lead troops to challenge, and today it was his turn.

The two armies faced each other, and the sound of drums shook the sky. The generals lined up in turn, and the murderous intention rushed forward. On this side, Yongqi and Meng Huo looked at each other. Meng Huo waved the flag in his hand, and hundreds of elephants slowly emerged from the formation, and the rest of the army formed a formation to follow.

"So it was the idea." Zhuge Liang knew it and immediately called Yang Qing.

Seeing Yong Kai's formation and troops were arranged in such a way, Yang Qing could see through his intentions at a glance, and heard Zhuge Liang summoning him to come over quickly.

"Prime Minister." Yang Qing immediately bowed.

Zhuge Liang stroked his beard and smiled: "Mingzhi, today you will see you defeat the enemy." Yang Qing said: "No." He smiled at Zhao Yun beside him and said: "General Zilong, today I will ask the public to know how to defeat Yong Kai's elephant soldier."
