Warlords: Conquer the world from the county magistrate

When all the troops had gathered and the results of the battle were counted, it was already two hours later. Fang Guoxuan asked, "How was it?"

"Captain, there are more than a thousand injured and two thousand prisoners. What should we do with them?" Fang Tianming said with some heaviness.

Fang Guoxuan sighed and said, "Send a message to the commander and see what he means."

"What are the casualties of the troops and what are the results of the battle?"

"A total of 1485 enemies were killed, 1122 were seriously wounded, 2115 were slightly wounded, and 844 were captured intact. 5315 old sleeves, 368 Daxin XI-type guns, and 15 box guns were seized. Only a few of our soldiers were slightly wounded."

Fang Guoxuan was also very surprised to hear this result. Of course, although the quality of these troops is not high, if the other party had not stepped into his ambush.

Moreover, when the enemy was eating, our side launched an artillery attack. If a real war broke out, although we could annihilate the enemy, we would at least lose several hundred soldiers.

When Fang Jian received the telegram from the First Guard Regiment, he couldn't help but frown.

Wei Hanzhou asked with concern: "What's wrong with the commander?"

Fang Jian handed the telegram to the two men without saying a word, seeming a little silent.

"Commander, let these prisoners fend for themselves." Wei Hanzhou said indifferently.

When Wang Hu heard Wei Hanzhou's words, a conflicted look appeared on his face. After thinking for a moment, he still seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Fang Jian sighed: "After all, it's more than a thousand lives."

"Send a telegram and have Fang Guoxuan leave one company to guard the prisoners, and take the rest of the people to rush to the vicinity of Li Zhongwu. If Ma Jinwei advances towards Wen County, we will eat him up."

Now, Fang Jian has enough confidence to eat up Ma Jinwei.

Not to mention Li Zhongwu's 3,000 men, there are also two battalions supported by Fang Guoxuan. With their sophisticated weapons and elite soldiers, Fang Jian felt that they would definitely be able to defeat Ma Jinwei.

"Wang Hu, take a company and drive thirty trucks to bring back the seriously injured prisoners." Fang Jianan then said.

Last time, Zhang Shengwu set up a hospital for wounded soldiers outside the city. There are still many wounded soldiers who have not been discharged. It is just right that the wounded soldiers can be sent to the hospital.

Although Fang Jian was willing to save these seriously injured people, he would not put in much effort.

Whether they can survive depends on luck and the soldier's own will. He will not spend a lot of money to exchange medicine for these wounded soldiers.

Wang Hu hesitated and said, "Commander, if I leave, what will happen to your safety?"

"Wang Heizi, why are you itching for trouble again?" Wei Hanzhou was immediately dissatisfied.

Wang Hu stopped talking. With his four and a half stars fighting skills, he was no match for Wei Hanzhou's five and a half stars. He would only get beaten if he fought with him.

Fang Jian waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. There are still more than a thousand troops in the city. Besides, there is also Han Zhou."

Hearing this, Wei Hanzhou immediately straightened his chest and looked at Wang Hu with pride.

After Fang Guoxuan received Fang Jian's telegram, he called a meeting of officers and said, "The commander asked us to gather our troops and move closer to Li Zhongwu."

"What about these prisoners?" Fang Tianming didn't want these prisoners to escape, it would be difficult to deal with them then.

Fang Guoxuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the commander has already made arrangements. We left one company behind, and the commander also sent another company."

Most of the prisoners here are injured, and there are only about 800 intact. Two companies are enough to suppress them.

"Your company will stay here. If the prisoners make any unusual movements, shoot them immediately." Fang Guoxuan pointed to a company commander of the first battalion.

The company commander stood up and saluted, "Yes, I will complete the mission."

When the main force set out, the adjutant among the squatting prisoners approached Han Zhifu and said, "Division Commander, the enemy's main force has left, should we move on?"

"Let's talk about it tonight." Han Zhifu said when he saw the adjutant making a throat-cutting gesture.

Although their side had more people, they had no weapons, and the other side was well-armed. They had no chance of winning if they fought in broad daylight.

After hearing what Han Zhifu said, the adjutant calmed down and prepared to wait until night before taking action.

More than an hour later, Wang Hu led a company to Shuanghegou. The company commander who stayed there immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Commander Wang."

"Take the rope from the car, tie up the prisoners first, and then transport the seriously injured." Wang Hu nodded.

Fang Guoxuan's troops did not bring many ropes. The ones they brought were only for special missions.

Wang Hu received orders from Fang Jian to bring ropes from Xing County. There were 4,000 captives, and even if most of them were injured, they would still be a considerable threat if they rebelled at night.

Han Zhifu's heart skipped a beat when he saw a new troop arriving. He also saw that these people had tied up all the prisoners except the seriously wounded.

Han Zhifu was constantly struggling in his heart, wondering whether to resist or to wait for death.

The adjutant also came to Han Zhifu and asked, "Commander, what should we do?"

"Forget it, let's just leave it at that." After thinking for a moment, Han Zhifu sighed.

It was daytime now, and if he resisted, he would most likely be shot dead by the enemy, and he didn't want to die. Seeing this, the adjutant sighed helplessly and could only accept his fate.

After tying up the captives, Wang Hu said, "Now, we will send the seriously injured to the hospital in Xing County for treatment. Please do not resist."

Then, under Wang Hu's command, the soldiers carried the seriously wounded onto the trucks. In addition to the thirty trucks brought by Wang Hu, Fang Guoxuan also left eight trucks for them.

After 38 trucks transported the seriously wounded away, Wang Hu escorted the remaining prisoners towards Xing County.

On the other side, it took Fang Guoxuan two hours to reach Li Zhongwu's base, and the two had already made contact. The speed of driving a truck is naturally incomparable to walking.

The two men placed their troops on both sides of the road leading to Wen County, not intending to launch a large ambush or anything like that.

They planned to wait for Ma Jinwei's troops to arrive, then launch a surprise attack and eliminate his vanguard.

At present, it is not known how many people Ma Jinwei has. If there are thousands of them, it would be okay. But if there are too many people, it would be difficult to ambush them.

It was possible to ambush a few thousand people, but it was difficult to ambush tens of thousands of people. Tens of thousands of people could only be surrounded from all directions and annihilated. Moreover, Ma Jinwei's troops were much more elite than Han Zhifu's soldiers.

Their troops are not enough and difficult to deploy. If we launch an encirclement and annihilation campaign against them, we can only eat up a part of them first, then delay their main force and slowly nibble away at them.

Fang Guoxuan's troops had just gotten off the vehicle and had not yet rested when the director of the telecommunications department came to report: "Commander, Commander Li of the Second Guard Regiment called and found that Ma Jinwei was ahead."

"Okay, tell the first and second battalions to move to the designated positions and prepare for the attack." Fang Guoxuan said to the messenger.

On the road to Wen County, a troop of about two thousand people was marching.

On both sides of the road, on the left were the ambushing troops of Fang Weian and Fang Weiguo, and on the right were the two battalions of Zhao Zhang and Wang Ming from the Second Guard Regiment. The two troops were hiding more than 100 to 600 meters away from the road.

Because there are not many commanding heights on both sides, the troops on both sides do not have much terrain advantage. Because of the terrain, there are not many soldiers in ambush at the three commanding heights.

The biggest advantage is that the four battalions are on the periphery, surrounding the three-kilometer-long road.
