"General."
"It has been calculated."
"In this battle, our army lost 518 men, injured 679, killed 2800, and captured 7800.”
"Victory!"
Liu Lei immediately replied.
The reason why this battle was so successful, other than Zhu Xiong's valiant troops, was that the Yuan army's morale had collapsed and they had lost the will to fight against the Ming soldiers. Otherwise, with the city pass, as long as they had morale, the casualties under Zhu Xiong's command would definitely be more than this.
There were at least thousands of casualties.
It was obvious that if one lost their courage on the battlefield, the outcome could be imagined.
No matter how elite the army was, it would be defeated.
"General, thanks to your medicine, the number of soldiers in the First Army's casualty camp who survived is several times more than the other armies. This medicine has the miraculous effect of stopping bleeding.”
Liu Lei said to Zhu Xiong.
"I brought these medicines from home. I didn't expect them to be so effective. However, there's only so much of these medicines. Use them on the heavily injured soldiers.”Zhu Xiong said to Liu Lei.
"I understand."
"I've already informed the military doctor.”Liu Lei nodded.
"General, the news of victory has already reached His Highness the King of Yan. Now that we have broken through the capital of Northern Yuan, this war should be over.”
"In the war to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, our First Army, under the command of the general, broke through six cities and the capital of Northern Yuan.”
"This time, I'm afraid General will be able to take another step forward.”
"Yes, I am."
"With the general's ability, let alone a garrison, he can even be a general.”
"Hahaha, you're right. With the general's ability, he can even participate. However, I still think it's too small.”
The soldiers all laughed.
They were excited about breaking through Yuandu.
Not only did this result make them excited, but it was also a great merit, a great merit that brought honor to their ancestors.
"Don't worry."
"The Imperial Court will not treat us lightly for the contributions we have made.”Liu Lei said.
At this moment.
An armored soldier dressed as a personal guard came before Zhu Xiong and bowed."General, I've already given the order to gather the warhorses of the Yuan army. Our First Army has 6,000 light cavalry.”
He was Zhu Xiong's personal guard commander, Chen Quan.
During these few months of battle, he had been saved by Zhu Xiong a few times. He was extremely respectful and loyal to Zhu Xiong.
After joining the personal guards, he said that his life belonged to Zhu Xiong.
"Very good." Zhu Xiong nodded.
Liu Lei and the other Thousand Households looked at Zhu Xiong in confusion.
"General."
"Now that the capital of Northern Yuan has been breached and the war has been decided, why is the general still organizing cavalry?”Liu Lei asked in confusion.
"The King of Yan hasn't given the order to stop the war, so this battle isn't over yet. I'm going to lead the light cavalry across the Great Wall and pursue the Northern Yuan Emperor.”
"If we can really take them down, that would be a truly amazing feat.”
"Everyone, do you dare to try with me?”Zhu Xiong laughed as he spoke to everyone.
He did not hide the burning desire in his eyes at all.
Hearing that.
Everyone understood.
But in the next moment.
Liu Lei and the other thousand-men knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Xiong."The First Army will obey your orders.”
"Alright."
Zhu Xiong nodded in satisfaction.
After leading the First Army for the past few months, Zhu Xiong had gained their complete trust.
Moreover, although it was risky to cross the Great Wall this time, it was also a great opportunity to gain military merits. If they could really take down the Northern Yuan Emperor and his officials, it would really be a rare achievement.
This was worth a gamble.
Of course.
Most importantly, they still had Zhu Xiong as their backbone.
During this period of time, Zhu Xiong had led them to attack cities and take down strongholds. They were invincible.
With Zhu Xiong around, how could they not be confident?
"Deputy Guard Liu."
"Prepare dry rations and water for the six thousand light cavalry soldiers for ten days. Apart from the main saber, give each cavalry a bow and fifty arrows.”Zhu Xiong immediately looked at Liu Lei and said.
"Yes." Liu Lei gladly accepted the order.
"There are also the Thousand Households."
" The capital of Northern Yuan has been decided."
"We still need to leave four thousand soldiers to guard this city and watch over the surrendered soldiers.”
"Go and make the arrangements." Zhu Xiong said to the other thousand households.
"Yes."
The thousand households replied in unison.
Then, they left.
"Report."
At this moment.
"Reporting to the General, there is a thousand-man who calls himself the Xu family outside the palace gates.”
"Xu family?"
Zhu Xiong frowned.
He immediately thought of the Xu brothers.
Almost a year had passed, but the events of that day were still fresh in Zhu Xiong's mind.
However…
Zhu Xiong had today all thanks to them.
"Bring him here."
Zhu Xiong said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
The guard immediately retreated.
Not long after.
A general wearing the Thousand Households Battle Armor quickly walked up to Zhu Xiong. When he saw Zhu Xiong, he bowed and said,"Greetings, General Zhu. This subordinate has received a letter from the Public House of Yingtian and has specially sent it to you.”
As he spoke.
He handed the letter to Zhu Xiong.
