Bab 143: Battle of Zhuolu part 17

Before going back, Ouyang Shuo tabulated the overall loses in this battle.

Before the battle of Xiongli Valley, Shanhai Town had 1600 men. After the battle, they had lost 200 more sword shield soldiers and only 1400 men had survived.

Shanhai Town's thousand men army was now only left with 700.

Of the 700, 100 were cavalry, 50 heavy armoured infantry, 100 sword-shield infantry, 150 archers and 300 crossbowmen. The ones with the heaviest casualties were the cavalry and the sword shield soldiers, losing nearly half. As for the archers, they were on the backlines and barely had any loss, only losing 50 archers.

What pained Ouyang Shuo the most were the 100 Qingfu horses that were lost along with the cavalry. As the cavalry took up the role of charging in, as long as the soldier died, the horse will not be able to return and all practically died on the battlefield.
