There are always losses in war, and even in the Tang Dynasty camp, these losses are not all avoidable. It’s just that the losses of the Tang Dynasty army’s own people are slightly less.
Chang Sun Chong immediately began to report. The participation of each unit in the battle was different, so their losses were also different.
The Goguryeo army suffered the most serious losses, with more than a thousand people losing their combat effectiveness due to death or serious injuries.
Next was the Fuso army, with more than 900 people losing their combat effectiveness.
Next was the Tuyuhun cavalry, which lost more than 800 people.
The Turkic cavalry suffered the least losses, with only more than 500 people killed in the battle.
Originally, none of us participated in the battle, so everyone was standing at the same height, and no one could tell whose combat effectiveness was weak. Now when we look at this number, we naturally understand whose combat effectiveness is weak.
"These Goguryeo people shouted slogans louder than anyone else, but they were no match for them on the battlefield. They also suffered the most losses. If they hadn't cooperated with the Fuso army, I'm afraid they would have lost even more people. Part of the Fuso army took the blame for Goguryeo."
Chang Sun Ze saw it very clearly. What he despised most was people who had only good mouths but no ability. And the Goguryeo army was exactly like that.
Li Xiang knew very well about the Goguryeo people, especially those on the peninsula. If it came to shouting slogans, there was probably no one in the world better than them, but if they really came to a fight on the battlefield, these people would not be qualified.
"The Fuso army's combat effectiveness is quite remarkable, especially their explosive power. From generals to soldiers, they can charge forward at the mere sound of a shout. They should be a great help on the battlefield."
Chang Sun Chong observed the Fuso army carefully. Some armies were at a disadvantage in previous battles, but they finally managed to hold on. Therefore, Chang Sun Chong believed that if it was a difficult war, it would be better to hand it over to the Fuso army. As for the Goguryeo army, let them take charge of some miscellaneous tasks.
This is quite consistent with Li Xiang's impression. Although the Fuso people have many bad qualities, they also have a strong fighting will. Of course, they will be no match for the Tang army, mainly because the gap between the two sides is too big. But if they face the armies of South Asian countries, they should be regarded as a tiger coming down the mountain.
"Let's observe for a while longer. Didn't I give the order earlier? I asked them to send another group of people over. Where are they now?"
Li Xiang looked at the casualties of the Tang army again. They were almost negligible. After all, except for the musketeers and artillery, other troops did not participate in the battle. When General Changsun led his men over, the enemy had already begun to retreat. If there were large-scale casualties at this time, Li Xiang would immediately let the Changsun brothers go home to feed the pigs. You may not be suitable for development in the army.
"According to your instructions, these two armies were transported directly to Jiaozhou Prefecture by ship. It will take some time for them to reach us."
Maritime transportation is full of uncertainties, especially in today's era. If everything goes smoothly, it will arrive in a few days. But if there are rough seas or strong headwinds, it will take more than ten days to get there.
"Then let our troops continue to clear the surrounding area. Don't let any corner go. The more thorough we are at this time, the easier it will be for the local officials to come over. If we let too many people go, don't expect this place to obey the Tang Dynasty in the future."
When Li Xiang spoke, everyone bowed their heads and listened. They also knew the importance of cleaning up the battlefield, especially the Changsun brothers.
From the chieftains of Sichuan to the Nanzhao Kingdom, these two brothers were the ones who cleaned up the battlefield. The reason why Li Xiang brought these two people here was to let them play to their strengths.
Judging from the current situation, we cannot advance for the time being. No matter what the situation is in the south, we have to clear out the surrounding areas first. The main reason is the problem of transportation lines. If we move too fast and the defense in the rear is not strong enough, the transportation lines may be cut off at any time.
After a while, Li Xiang returned to his tent. Although the city of Wa was behind him and there were nice living places inside, Li Xiang did not expect to live there.
After the war started, some VIPs entered through various channels. If Li Xiang had also gone in to live there, it would be hard to say what the situation was like inside.
"The meeting is over, and dinner is almost ready. I went out to pick some mushrooms today, but I've already asked the military doctor, and he said many people in the area have eaten them, so it's fine. I just ate a bowl myself."
Cheng Ying liked to cook her own dishes, so she didn't get her meals from the army canteen.
"Don't do this kind of thing in the future. Others have eaten it and nothing happened, so why would I be in trouble if I ate it? You can't test it yourself."
Li Xiang frowned and said, what the prisoners outside did, just pull them over and try it out, do you really have to risk your own life?
"Your Highness is worth a fortune, and I'm afraid something might happen to you."
Cheng Ying said as she packed her things. There was no one else in the tent except the two little girls. Cheng Ying was doing everything by herself.
Li Xiang had said before that the task of serving others could be handed over to the subordinates and there was no need to do everything personally. However, Cheng Ying also said that even if someone was willing to serve Li Xiang, there was no such opportunity when he arrived in the capital. Now there was only a chance when the two were alone.
Seeing the girl's sincerity, Li Xiang felt it was not appropriate to continue interfering. This was also her hope. Couldn't this hope be fulfilled?
After capturing Wa City, there were some noble girls here, and his men also captured them, but Li Xiang released them with orders. We are not those who come to rob women, so why should we keep staring at these girls?
What's more, this place will be the southern vassal state of the entire Tang Empire in the future. If all these noble girls are captured, it will not be good for local stability. What's more, these people look like monkeys. Li Xiang really has no interest in them. Even if they are transported to Chang'an City, Li Shimin probably won't be interested.
After dinner, Li Xiang was just about to relax for a while when Zhang Jiuli came over with another list. He must have something to report...
