The battle between Zhang Liao and Lu Meng ended with no one being able to do anything to the other. Although Zhang Liao was an old martial artist, he was about to enter middle age after all, but he had not been able to break through for a long time. He has just stepped into the training of gods, and he does not have the experience of Zhang Liao, but he has an aura of recklessness, daring to go all out, and that kind of vigor. Although Lu Meng is Zhang Liao's current enemy, he is not the commander of the Jiangdong Army, Zhang Liao He will not risk his life with a warrior.
What's more, there is a warrior named Ling Chao next to him. Two warriors who have just stepped into the gods are fighting against Zhang Liao, but Zhang Liao only has the ability to defend himself, so he can't help these two.
After that, Xu Sheng and Wang Wei also slowly approached. Ling Chao and Lu Meng saw that there was nothing they could do, and led the remaining Chu army to break through.
"The enemy will stop leaving!" Xu Sheng had a violent temper. Seeing that Lu Meng and Ling Chao were about to leave, he wanted to lead his subordinates to continue to charge and intercept him, but was stopped by Zhang Liao.
"Wen Xiang, there's no need to go!" Zhang Liao stopped Xu Sheng's pursuit, not because Zhang Liao didn't want to catch up, but because he couldn't pursue him anymore. "This Lu Meng is really a character!" Knowing that there is nothing to be done, he immediately retreated without delay, this kind of decisiveness is really rare.
"Wen Xiang, I can't chase anymore, don't chase the poor!" Zhang Liao stopped Xu Sheng. It was because after Zhang Liao raised the smoke, the Jiangdong Chu army had no vision. Similarly, the black chess army had limited vision. , so Lu Mengjun quickly disappeared into the thick fog, and once he got out of the dense forest, or went deep into the forest, the smoke would dissipate. There was no smoke to cover Xu Sheng. If Lu Meng played an ambush. The black chess army will lose a lot.
Instead of chasing down the poor bandits, it is better to settle the current battle. Lu Meng and Ling Chao took away less than a thousand people, all of whom had wet cloth, while the remaining four thousand soldiers and horses were left behind.
"Quickly resolve the battle!" Zhang Liao ordered Xu Sheng and Wang Wei.
"Yes!" The two walked away holding their fists together, and now the smoke on the field gradually dissipated under the blowing of the wind, and those Jiangdong Chu soldiers finally stopped covering their mouths and noses. But even so, they couldn't make waves anymore, either they were exhausted, or they were already disabled, the current black chess army only needs to step forward to encircle and wipe them out.
"Let them surrender, tell them to surrender and not to kill!" Zhang Liao said, looking at the remaining Jiangdong Chu army in the former Jiangdong army's barracks in the dense forest.
"Our general said to surrender but not to kill!" Zhang Liao's orderling told the struggling Jiangdong Chu army in the field.
"Hehe, surrender! Do you know who we are!" Out of the more than a thousand besieged Jiangdong Chu troops, a thousand-man general stepped out and shouted with a sneer.
"Who are you, aren't you the Jiangdong army? Danyang soldiers? Or the original Yuzhou soldiers! Changsha soldiers?" Xu Sheng said very puzzled. Among the Jiangdong Army, there are not many elite troops. Those elite tribes can be counted out with one hand, among them is the Danyang army. Danyang County is always aggressive, so the Danyang army is one of the most powerful soldiers in the world. At the beginning, Tao Qian of Xuzhou made the Danyang army famous. In the hands of such a second-rate general, he can even fight against Lao Cao.
Even though most of Lu Bu's army are now Danyang soldiers, they are distributed in the camp of the urban management army.
After that, there are the Yuzhou soldiers and horses. These are old soldiers. Although they are not so sharp but full of experience, there is Changsha soldiers. This is an elite soldier left by Sun Jian, which is almost equivalent to the private soldiers of the Sun family. .
These are a few of Jiangdong's elites, and some of them belong to Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses, but is there anyone besides Zhou Yu who can command Zhou Yu's soldiers and horses!
"We are the Chu army!" The thousand-man general of the Jiangdong Chu army said very lingeringly.
"Chu Jun? I'm going to return Qin Jun!" Someone beside him began to sneer. It has been many years since the Chu Kingdom perished, and there are still people who call themselves Chu Jun.
"You!" This thousand-strong general was blocked by human words.
"Chu Jun?!" Zhang Liao frowned when he heard the name. "Are you descendants of Chu people?!" Zhang Liao asked with a puzzled look.
"Of course!" The general of the Chu army raised his eyebrows when he saw that someone knew the goods.
"The elders in Jiangdong, the army of Jingchu! I didn't expect it to exist!" Zhang Liao is not from the south, he is from the north, and he came from Bingzhou. He doesn't know much about the Jiangnan area, but he has heard of the Chu army. Existence, when Gao Zu ambushed and killed Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, he did not dare to use force against the generation of Jing and Chu, because he was afraid that the Chu people would retaliate. In the end, he exempted the Chu people's land tax for many years and other various other appeasement policies. Really put down the Chu people.
But these Chu people have never regarded themselves as Han people, but are proud of Jingchu. They have been big Han for hundreds of years, and many Chu people have integrated into the Han people. The name Chu people has gradually disappeared, but who knows appeared again.
"Archers get ready!" Zhang Liao shouted with a sigh as he looked at the person who was called from Chu. He knew it was pointless to say anything.
"Thank you very much!" The thousand generals from Jiangdong Chu didn't show any anger when they heard Zhang Liao's words, but instead cupped their fists to thank Zhang Liao.
"General, what?!" Xu Sheng and others under Zhang Liao's command were at a loss. What kind of situation was this? Soon the archers were gathered.
"Strengthen the mountain and overwhelm the world. The time is not good and the time will not die. The time will not die, but what can be done! What is the reason for the danger!" In the opposite Jiangdong Chu army camp, those Jiangdong Chu troops have already dropped their weapons , but singing came from their mouths.
This is a Gaixia song, a Chu song. It is how similar the Chu song sung by Xiang Yu when he was ambushed on all sides is similar to the current Chu people.
"The people of Jingchu vowed not to surrender. Only the Chu people died in battle, and there were no Chu people who surrendered!" Zhang Liao explained to the generals under his command. It is the spirit of Jingchu that the Chu people will not surrender, and it is also the attitude of the people of the world. A kind of appreciation from Chu people
"Let go!" Zhang Liao also admired the Chu people very much. If you are a soldier, you are not afraid of death, and if you are a civil servant, you are not strict enough to surrender. How can this country not prosper? But appreciation is appreciation. Regarding the enemy Zhang Liao, he still gave the order to attack without hesitation.
"Thousands of long arrows. Suddenly, they were thrown towards the only thousand remaining Chu troops.
Blood splattered. There were casualties, but the singing didn't stop until the last Chu man fell down, and Chu Ge finally stopped.
"Hey!" Zhang Liao shook his head with a sigh, and the other generals beside him were also dumbfounded at the scene in front of them. There are many people who died in ancient times, but it's true that the whole army would rather die than be destroyed. rare.
"Go up and cut off all their heads!" Zhang Liao pointed to the dead Jiangdong Chu army and said to the soldiers under his command.
"General. They're already dead. Is this going to happen?!" Wang Wei on the side stepped forward and asked Zhang Liao. The spirit of these Chu people had stunned them. They were all dead, so let them stay. A whole corpse!
"What? Feeling compassion?!" Zhang Liao turned his head and sneered at Wang Wei. "Although they are worthy of respect, don't forget that this is a war, and they are our enemies. Have you seen those robes lying on the ground! They are our brothers. And they are our enemies!"
"No, General! They're already dead. It's useless to us, why should we!" A dead person is no longer a threat, leaving a whole body is a kind of respect for the enemy!
"It doesn't work? How can it be useless? These corpse heads are the magic weapon for us to win in the future!" Zhang Liao didn't want to let these Jiangdong Chu soldiers die without even a whole body, but Zhang Liao had to be determined to do it. .
"One head here may be worth one life of our soldiers in the future! Do you think it is useful?!" Zhang Liao said coldly.
"Ah!" Although Wang Wei and the others couldn't understand what Zhang Liao was saying! But Zhang Liao's previous series of war methods had stunned them, so they still carried out under Zhang Liao's order.
Lu Meng brought a total of 5,000 Chu soldiers, but only a few hundred were taken away, and what remained here were more than 4,300 corpses, that is, more than 4,000 heads, all of which were collected.
Zhang Liao ordered these heads to be cut off, and they were loaded on the vehicles that were originally used to transport dry firewood and materials, and headed towards the city on the way.
On the way, people in the city panicked, "How, how, any news!" Qin Feng saw a messenger running in, and hurriedly grabbed the messenger and asked. Qin Feng was about to die of anxiety. The day before yesterday, the city on the way was beaten by those crossbows and couldn't take care of himself. Later, the Jiangdong reinforcements arrived. Although the Liu Mang army retreated, the news Qin Feng got was that the Liu Mang army Headed towards the Jiangdong reinforcements.
"No, my lord!" The messenger shook his head. "The outside of this forest has been blocked by the enemy's Xiliang iron cavalry, and our scouts can't get in at all!" Qin Feng wanted to get news of the battle in the dense forest, but he kept trying to get in. If he didn't get it, the scouts he sent couldn't fall on the battlefield at all, it was full of smoke and fire, and there were still Xiliang iron cavalry nearby, so it was only after being spied on by him that it was a ghost. So now Qin Feng is blind.
Qin Feng is very contradictory. The arrival of Jiangdong's reinforcements gave him a respite on the way and saved his city on the way. He now wants Jiangdong's reinforcements to make Liu Mang's army retreat and let him reach him again on the way to Linhuai. However, he was afraid that Jiangdong's army would not go away once it came. A total of 50,000 soldiers and horses. Although Qin Feng was proclaiming Jiangdong's vassal from the beginning, he really wanted him to hand over the rights of Linhuai and the way , he still feels uncomfortable. After all, being a grandson under the rule of others is not as comfortable as being a local emperor. If he comes to Huai on the way, his words are the king's order.
So what Qin Feng expects most is that Liu Mang's army and Jiangdong's army will lose both sides, so that Qin Feng can take advantage of his left-handed fisherman, but he also knows that the possibility of this is very small. He can only settle for the next best thing, Jiangdong Army won, he should be a rich man!
While Qin Feng was still walking around the city, news finally came.
"My lord, my lord, this Jiangdong Army, Jiangdong Army!" A scribe ran in panting.
"Jiangdong Army, how are you? How are you!" Qin Feng rushed up to greet him and asked loudly.
"Jiangdong army lost, lost!"
"Plop..." Qin Feng sat down on the ground. transfixed! (to be continued..)
