Seeing the ruthless scene in front of him, Gong Lince congratulated Meng Shan: "Shuai Meng, Song Guojiang's future troubles have been eliminated!"
Meng Shanming was calm and expressionless, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Luo Daan glanced at Meng Shanming's reaction. He had been by Meng Shanming's side and knew what happened best.
Originally, when the Song Army gave up the defense of the river and wanted to gather heavy troops to attack the troops crossing the river in advance, preparations were made for a water attack, and they were ready to attack when the Song Army gathered troops to a certain area. Unexpectedly, Luo Zhao changed his strategy, and here He had no choice but to change his strategy accordingly, choose another suitable place, and use his body as bait to lure the Song army to this group of Luoshan.
There were many twists and turns in the process, but fortunately the final result was no surprise and the required strategic purpose was still achieved.
The spectators on the mountain, chatting and laughing, defeated millions of enemy troops without even using a single soldier.
The land of mountains and plains suddenly turned into a land of marshes, where those who were plundering were all Song monks who were in a state of embarrassment, rescuing important members of the Song army.
As for the millions of people, even if the Nine Supreme Beings come, they can't save them now. The Song monks are really powerless and can only save some important people and lead some generals out of the flood.
During the flood, some people struggled in the mud, some swam in the muddy water in search of life, and some people lost their life and floated in the muddy water and drifted away with the current. Most people who are not water-based faced this disaster and could not escape death.
There were so many people climbing up a big tree that the branches collapsed and screamed. In some places on higher ground, people were so crowded that they couldn't even stand and were half submerged in the water.
Many people fell on a big tree in the mountains. Looking around at the tragic images in the flood, Wu Qunlie, who was sitting on a tree branch, beat the trunk with his fists and cried loudly.
He could imagine that there must be more than just here. The troops who were lured to Qunluo Mountain should not be able to escape this disaster. There were millions of troops. As a commander, the entire army was wiped out before the official battle. He had never been defeated so miserably. He didn't know how to face the ups and downs, his emotions had collapsed!
Liao Nanqing, who was on the same tree, was stunned. He looked at the tragic scene in front of him with blurred eyes. He suffered two disastrous defeats in succession, which made him confused.
On the crown of the tree, a group of monks were undulating on the branches with the wind, and there were many panicked soldiers under the tree trying to climb up the tree...
Due to the terrain, there was some fighting in other directions in Qunluo Mountain, but the number of people who fled up the mountain in a hurry was limited, and it was difficult to stop the large number of people and horses gathered by the Yan army on the mountain to rush and kill.
Scenes of the Yan army standing on the mountain shooting the survivors in the water with bows and arrows are everywhere.
After the impact of a wave of flood peaks, the water gradually slowed down, and without a large amount of water sources to replenish it, the water seeped into the ground, and the country dried up quickly. The ground was as pitted as a swamp.
A large number of Yan army troops began to descend the mountain, one foot deep and one foot shallow, chasing the Song army horses in groups, with monks cooperating.
The Song army's horses were scattered, and the immortals were unable to form an effective team to resist. The weapons in their hands that had been rushed to save their lives in the face of the flood had long been lost and disappeared. The unarmed ones were exhausted from the tossing. How could they resist Yan? The army was killed by hordes of troops? Like a lamb to the slaughter.
Running in the mud but unable to run fast, facing the Yan army's dragnet and strangulation, the scene was very miserable.
Wu Qunlie, who was sitting on the tree, watched this scene helplessly but was helpless. For the commander of the first army, there was nothing more cruel than this. His eyes were split, "Ah!" He looked up to the sky and wailed.
"Lord Wu, let's go. If you don't leave, it will be too late." A monk pulled Wu Qunlie and urged him repeatedly.
The few sergeants holding the tree trunk under the tree heard that they were leaving. They looked up and wailed: "Sir, save us!"
Wu Qunlie held the tree trunk in his hands and refused to leave. He also begged the monks, "Please, please help the mages to save as much as you can. I beg you, even if you block the Yan army and let the brothers fight for it." A little time to escape is fine. Please, I will repay you by being a bull and a horse in my next life..."
A group of monks were also very embarrassed and in trouble. In such a large-scale war, it would be useless for them to fight with the Yan Kingdom monks. Apart from killing some Yan Kingdom monks and soldiers to vent their anger, what else could they do? Even if they couldn't defeat the Yan army, they couldn't reverse the situation of the war, and they couldn't hold the territory. It was impossible for them to save the millions of people in front of them.
You might be able to save some people by rescuing people, but how many can you save in this case? There is no way to save many people. Escape with others will affect the speed of escape. Faced with the pursuit of the Yan Kingdom monks, no one can escape by then.
Being in the same place, they felt the same about many things. They could understand Wu Qunlie's mood, but Wu Qunlie's prayer really made them embarrassed.
Seeing the Yan army and the searching monks getting closer and closer, the leader of the Song Kingdom monk finally got worried, knocked Wu Qunlie out with one finger, picked up Wu Qunlie and flew away.
Other monks also carried some important generals and flew away on the ground that looked like a swamp.
Although they could escape faster by abandoning Wu Qunlie and others, they couldn't explain it if they went back like that.
Regardless of whether the troops are victorious or defeated, you just abandon your general and run away? Which disciple from the fighting sect can return to work
"My lord, my lord..." Seeing the group of monks taking away Wu Qunlie and others, the abandoned sergeant under the tree cried out sadly. This failed to make those monks turn around, but instead alarmed a group of Yan Kingdom monks who quickly chased after them.
The fight was fierce all the way, and a group of Song monks desperately escorted Wu Qunlie and other generals to break out of the encirclement.
Holding torches at night, the large-scale cleanup in Qunluo Mountain continued until dawn the next day. It was one thing to strangle the Song people and horses, but more importantly, to search for food for the Song people and horses.
Bags of grain bags soaked in sewage were found. The Yan soldiers and horses held swords and guns behind them, forcing the Song soldiers to carry the prisoners back to the mountain.
After a large amount of grain was transported back to the mountain, it was washed at the waterfall in the mountain, regardless of whether it had been soaked in water. Under Meng Shanming's order, trees were cut down on the mountain and the grain was fried and dried directly to make dry food.
There is no way to do this. Food soaked in water is not easy to preserve and is prone to mold and deterioration. It is better to eat dry food if it is not delicious.
After this battle and counting, the troops of Yan State's Eastern Expedition raised half a month's worth of food for the army without any supplies.
With half a month's worth of food in hand, coupled with successive victories, the military's morale is determined!
At this point, Song State's border defense line facing Yan State completely collapsed and was useless. The consequences of this battle were very significant!
…
The sky is clear, and by the Gunlong Gorge, Niu Youdao and Chujian are standing on the cliff, facing the wind, overlooking the rolling torrent under the cliff.
Hearing the familiar footsteps approaching from behind, Niu Youdao sighed, "We're right here. Fifty thousand horses are forced to cross. It's such a dangerous place. No wonder we lost 20,000 horses in an instant."
Guan Fangyi, who was approaching, handed over a piece of news, "It's from Gongsun Bu. It's a great victory. The Song Army's Jiang defense troops were completely defeated by Commander Meng."
Niu Youdao took a look in his hand and saw the report that the entire Song army was annihilated by water attack. He couldn't help but shook his head, "It is indeed a great victory. So far, the two million troops deployed by the Song Dynasty in Jiangfang have been wiped out. It is truly a beautiful victory." , Meng Shanming is indeed Meng Shanming, you should be strong and strong!"
When he saw the things about the prisoners, he couldn't help but frown and mutter, "Six hundred thousand prisoners were captured..."
Guan Fangyi hummed, "1.4 million horses, countless casualties, and 600,000 prisoners captured. Gongsun Bu's message is that after the army rested, Meng Shuai used these prisoners to do coolies and went out. After entering the muddy area, prepare to massacre 600,000 people!"
Niu Youdao saw the news from the report and frowned because of this. These were not 600,000 animals, but 600,000 living people. Seeing such a massacre, he shuddered a little and muttered, " Our Commander Meng, who usually seems quite easy-going, turns out to be very murderous when he goes to the battlefield!"
This was not the first time he had heard about Meng Shanming's massacre on the battlefield. When he attacked Dingzhou last time, the massacre outside Rongyang City was very popular. This time it was even more terrifying. There was actually a massacre. Six hundred thousand prisoners of war!
"This is not a death in battle, but a massacre! Killing 600,000 prisoners of war and releasing them anywhere would be horrifying!" Guan Fangyi also raised her voice with some palpitations, and tried to ask: "Master Dao, Commander Meng will listen to you. , do you want to use your influence to persuade him?"
Niu Youdao hesitated for a moment. He wanted to persuade, but he was not someone who spoke without knowing the situation. He didn't understand things on the battlefield, and he would not meddle in things he didn't understand. He muttered: "Pass a message and ask. Let’s talk about Meng Shuai’s intentions later.”
"Yeah!" Guan Fangyi immediately followed the instructions.
Niu Youdao himself also wrote a letter to Yuan Gang himself and asked him to forward it to Gao Jiancheng. He wanted to ask Gao Jiancheng for his opinion and wanted to see if he could kill these people from Gao Jiancheng's perspective!
This place is not too far from Meng Shanming's side. After the letter was spread, Meng Shanming's side also responded quickly.
Meng Shanming's meaning was very simple. It was entirely from the perspective of a soldier fighting, and he mentioned the situation of the Song Army's more than 400,000 horses fighting to the death on the Hukou Defense Line. I took this to tell Niu Youdao that this time the Song Dynasty's Jiang defense troops were all the Song Dynasty's elite troops mobilized by the Song Dynasty.
During his time, when was it Song's turn to act wildly on Yan's head? This means that we have confidence in our hands, just look at the combat power of these Jiang defense troops!
Meng Shanming had a firmer attitude and asked Niu Youdao if he had any other uses. Otherwise, he would kill the 600,000 elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty. This battle would cripple the elite troops of the Song Dynasty and make the Song Dynasty unable to survive for a certain period of time. If you dare to cause trouble again, you want to use this to destroy the morale of the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. You must at least fight to protect the Song Dynasty and not dare to offend Dayan again for ten years!
In a word, the 600,000 elites of the Song Kingdom fell into his hands. He could not let these elites go back to threaten Dayan again!
This sentence "impossible" made Niu Youdao speechless and asked him if there was any other use? What use could he make of these 600,000 prisoners of war? You can’t eat it and you can’t sell it.
He had the idea of protecting these 600,000 people, and the persuasive reason he prepared was to let Meng Shanming take it to negotiate with the Song Dynasty in exchange for some grain and grass. In his eyes, it was obviously not as important as the goal he wanted to achieve. Meng Shanming would not use these prisoners to negotiate terms, and he didn't know how to reply for a while. He could only wait for Gao Jicheng's reply. nt
