For the Black Tiger Army, it was a chance to catch their breath.

That's all.

Chu Ding had expected this long ago.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

The barbarian invasion of the Great Desolate Prefecture was not merely for a small city like Jin. They sought to conquer a far wider expanse of land.

Millions of barbarians.

Although it seems numerous, for the Qin Dynasty, it is not insurmountable.

If tens of thousands of barbarians were lost in front of a Jin city, it would clearly not be in the barbarians' interest.

Therefore.

A short break is very necessary.

When the barbarians have rested and are ready to launch another attack, that will be the true battle.

"All the wounded should retreat and attend to their wounds. Also, inform Huo Tou Jun to cook some food. Everyone needs timely replenishment of energy. At the same time, arrange those who have finished resting to guard the city wall to prevent a sneak attack by barbarians."

And also, clean up the battlefield.”

Chu Ding calmly issued the orders.

Suddenly.

All the Black Tiger soldiers began cleaning up the corpses on the city walls.

If the body belongs to a comrade, it is carried aside and placed there. If the body belongs to an enemy soldier, it is simply thrown over the city wall.

Within an hour or two, all the corpses piled on top of the city walls had been cleared.

But the coagulated bloodstain could not be erased.

Faded bloodstains.

A thick metallic scent wafted from within.

Next.

This means the guards are changing shifts.

Jincheng, within the Black Tiger Army's camp.

Chu Ding was shirtless, allowing others to bandage his wounds. His blood-stained armor was carelessly discarded nearby.

Below him.

The person sitting there is someone who holds the power in Jin City today.

The magistrate Nie Xu.

The Steward of Heavenly Watch, Zhong Chi.

As well as several thousand-man captains of the Black Tiger Army.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Out of the original twelve thousand Black Tiger Army, there were about ten hundred-man commanders. Unfortunately, in the previous battle, several were killed by the barbarians, leaving less than half remaining.

Even though warriors of the Meridian Connecting Realm are powerful.

But in the midst of chaos, he was only slightly stronger than an ordinary person.

Killed in action.

Then it was nothing out of the ordinary.

In the tent, the atmosphere was now heavy with tension.

How are our casualties

Chu Ding looked at the several thousand commanders and calmly asked.

After that, he spoke.

The scene was once again silent.

After a long silence, Wen Ce finally clasped his hands and replied.

"Reporting to the General, our army has suffered two thousand one hundred and twenty-five casualties, and three thousand seven hundred and thirty-two wounded!"

When Wen Ce finished speaking, someone let out a long sigh.

>

Of the 12,000 Black Tiger Army, only over six thousand remain unharmed to this day.

That is to say.

The night battle directly crippled the Black Tiger Army.

Chu Ding's face seemed to darken by two points, but it quickly returned to normal.

>

"Can you provide any statistics on the harvest"

“We can’t get an exact count right now, but based on the battlefield situation, the barbarian casualties are at least one to two times ours.”

Wence shook his head.

Since the war is not over yet, it's impossible to compile statistics on this.

Based on his experience, it's pretty clear how badly the barbarians were hurt.

“That is to say, of the 120,000 barbarians, at most half were lost, excluding those injured. As for our army, we suffered losses of about 30%. This battle was indeed a difficult one.”

Chu Ding sighed.

Thirty percent against fifty percent, the gap is huge.

Moreover, as the number of people on both sides widens the gap, the casualty ratio will increase even more.

Nie Xu's face was grim. "It's only been half a day, and Jin City has already suffered such heavy losses. Let alone holding out for two days, I'm afraid that the next attack by the barbarians, we may not even be able to withstand."

"It's normal to be unable to resist."

Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I'm ready!

Compared to Nie Xu's heaviness, Zhong Chi was much calmer.

The current situation was exactly as he had anticipated.

Heavenly Watch was primarily focused on gathering intelligence, and Zhong Chi had a clear understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of both armies.

Jincheng.

It is absolutely impossible to withstand the barbarian horde.

That's why he proposed that the people be evacuated first to avoid heavy casualties if Jin City were ever breached.

The only question at hand now is how long Jincheng can hold out, and—whether General Chu has thought through his retreat!

In Zhongchi's view.

Although the Black Tiger Army was holding onto Jincheng, they might not necessarily fight to the very last soldier.

...how exactly.

It all depends on what Chu Ding decides to do.

As a member of the Heavenly Watch, staying behind to fight was already the utmost benevolence and righteousness. However, when the city truly fell, he wouldn't necessarily remain with Jin City to share its fate.

When the battle came, they fought.

When it's time to go, let's go.

But right now, Jin Cheng hasn't reached the very end, and Zhong Chi wouldn't really leave just now.

Upon hearing this.

Chu Ding remained composed and said calmly: "Half a day has passed, and the fleeing civilians haven't gone very far. If Jin City falls, the barbarian army will pursue them relentlessly, leading to a dead end."

If the barbarians rest for now, we'll have an hour or two of peace.

The rest is to hold the line and fight to the death, buying time for the people of Dahuang Mansion and those fleeing civilians.

"There are many corpses outside the city, and the walls of Jin City are not high. If too many soldiers die in battle, it is easy for the barbarians to use a method of piling up corpses to climb over the city wall. In this way, how would we defend ourselves"

A thousand-man captain asked in a deep voice.

...After he finished speaking.

Chu Ding opened his mouth.

Remember, our primary objective is to buy time, not to stubbornly hold a single line of defense. If the barbarian onslaught becomes truly unstoppable, let them in. With our familiarity of Jincheng, we can maneuver and outwit them.

Let the barbarians into the city!

At these words, everyone was taken aback.

The next instant.

Someone then reacted.

“That’s right, the terrain in Jincheng is complex. If we let the barbarians in, their cavalry would be hard-pressed to exert themselves. On the other hand, with our familiarity of the land, we could buy ourselves some more time.”
