Chapter 429: Statistical Results
The battle on the city wall lasted for almost an hour, and Zhang Yan, who was watching the battle from the bottom of the city, saw that most of the soldiers could not hold on to the top of the city for a stick of incense. Seeing that all the siege vehicles at the city gate were burned, Zhang Yan knew that the attack had failed this time. However, he was not in a hurry, and he had already known the result in his mind. Seeing that the fire inside the city gate was extinguished, Zhang Yan nodded to the messenger and ordered Mingjin to withdraw. The siege vehicles had all been burned, and the soldiers in this round of attack were not the elite of the Black Mountain Army. Zhang Yan didn't think that he would be able to attack the city in one go, so he directly ordered the troops to withdraw.
"Ding..."
The yellow turban soldiers who were fighting at the top of the city quickly left the battle after hearing the sound of Mingjin, slid down the top of the city from the siege ladder, and then retracted the siege ladder that could be used. Under the cover of the soldiers under the city, they slowly retreated across the moat, and then Guarding the undamaged well, they slowly retreated towards the position of the Chinese army. Of course, the Luoyang defenders on the top of the city also used arrows to send them off all the way until the soldiers of the Yellow Turbans completely exited the attack range of the top of the city.
Although the Yellow Turban Army retreated, the city did not calm down immediately, and military orders came out of Huang Zhong's mouth one after another. The defenders on the top of the city carried out the military orders in an orderly manner.
"Order the civilian husband to go to the city and carry all the wounded down the city. The lightly wounded will be bandaged and treated under the city, and the seriously wounded will be carried back to the inner city medical center."
"All the uninjured defenders took down the city wall to rest first, and a thousand-man team on standby under the city went up to take over the defense."
"Soldiers and civilians who climbed the city tidy up the top of the city, clean up the dirt on the city wall, clean the blood on the city wall, and replenish the supplies for defending the city!"
. . .
Standing on the tower, Huangfu Chaobo and Zhao Zilong have been watching the battle at the top of the city, watching Huang Zhong control the offensive and defensive situation without haste, and after the battle, arrange everything in an orderly manner.
"The luck of Chaobo Boss... Alas, I really have nothing to say. With Huang Zhong as a general, basically don't worry about the war." Zhao Zilong watched Huang Zhong busy up and down there, while Huangfu Chaobo Standing here doing nothing, I can't help but sigh with emotion.
"Hey... character, character problem." Huangfu Chaobo smiled, and then quickly changed the subject: "By the way, have your people played? How is the harvest?"
"I don't know for the time being. I'm counting. What about your loss? Has it come out?" Zhao Zilong really caught the trick, and immediately focused on this.
While the two were talking, Huang Zhong went up to the tower and said, "My lord, the statistics are out. Our army suffered 1,500 casualties, including 367 dead and 156 seriously injured. One thousand and forty-eight people were slightly injured, and it is estimated that in the end, the number of dead soldiers should be around 400."
"Damn it, it's only an hour, four thousand soldiers have lost more than a thousand people, won't there be no soldiers to send in Luoyang City tomorrow?" Huangfu Chaobo said in surprise;
Huang Zhong was stunned for a moment, seeing that there were no other people on the tower except Zhao Zilong, he said, "My lord, it can't be calculated like this. First, our soldiers on the city wall are all ordinary soldiers, and none of the elite soldiers have yet gone to the city, let alone the Thousands of elite soldiers from the Guards Army have died. Second, the more than 1,000 people who were slightly injured can go back to the battlefield in a day or two after treatment and rest. There are also 200,000 bandits The large army consumes countless food and grass every day, and the bandit army will definitely want to fight quickly, while our army only needs to stick to the city."
When Huangfu Chaobo heard it, it turned out to be like this. After a long time, none of the soldiers above C level had yet played, so he was relieved. "By the way, how about the casualties of the bandit army?"
"Preliminary estimates of the casualties of the bandit army are around 5,000!"
"Oh." Hearing this, Huangfu Chaobo was relieved. With 10,000 people fighting, nearly half of the damage was lost. It seems that there is no problem in defending Luoyang City.
Seeing that Huangfu Chaobo seemed to be completely relaxed, Huang Zhong said again: "It's just that, judging from the situation of the siege today, it seems that the bandit army did not try its best. The soldiers who attacked the city today were not the elite soldiers of the bandit army, so we waited You still can't take it lightly!"
"Uh,
"Huangfu Chaobo saw that Huang Zhong had seen through his little thoughts, and his old face blushed: "I am not good at arranging troops, and my brother will continue to be responsible for the next battle to the end!" "
"Follow what you want!" Huang Zhong stood up and saluted respectfully; then, he nodded to Lou Gui next to him, turned and left the tower to arrange defense on the city wall.
An hour later, the Black Mountain Army began to attack again. It was still the same as last time. The Black Mountain Army dispatched 10,000 soldiers. As for the siege equipment, it can be seen that there will be slightly fewer than the first time. However, he was soon repulsed by Huang Zhong.
The battle continued until it was almost dark, and the Black Mountain Army retreated back to the camp. One day's battle caused the loss of Luoyang soldiers in Dongcheng to nearly 3,000 people. There are hundreds of people, and it is estimated that they will not be able to recover in less than a month. The rest are more than a thousand slightly injured soldiers. Starting tomorrow, the defensive soldiers on the east wall will be soldiers above C level. As for the other walls, the Baibo thieves attacking on the north wall were obviously not as strong as the Black Mountain army. Under Dian Wei's command, the north lost only 2,000 troops, while the west and south hadn't fought at all, so There is no way to talk about any battle damage. However, compared to the losses of the Luoyang defenders, the losses of the Black Mountain Army were even greater. In one day, nearly 10,000 people were lost. Of course, only two or three thousand people were actually killed in battle, and the others were just injuries of varying severity.
The battle on the third day ended in this way. At night, except for the generals on duty on the city wall, the other generals with more than a thousand generals were summoned by Huangfu Chaobo and Huang Zhong to discuss matters in the prefect's mansion. Considering that there are too many enemies in the east city, Huang Zhong transferred 1,000 soldiers below the c-level and 1,000 soldiers above the c-level from the west and south cities respectively, while the defenders in the north city remained unchanged.
In the second half of the night, it was time for the cavalry to be active again. It's a pity that the Black Mountain Army in the east had already prepared for this. After Zhao Yu and his two raids, seeing that the effect was not very good, they had to turn around and go to Luobei Town in the north of the city. Facing the harassment of Luoyang cavalry, although the Baibo army was prepared, they still suffered a lot of losses. This made Yang Feng and other generals Baibo even more anxious to send people to urge You Xianwang's Huns cavalry.
The battle continued on the fourth day. After a day of attacking, the defensive equipment and supplies on the Luoyang city wall were consumed to a large extent. Moreover, after a day of attacking the city, Zhang Yan seemed to have found the rhythm of the attack. The fourth day Today's fighting is more intense than the previous day.
