Chapter 160 Depressed Su Yonglin
For Li Xiao, an old subordinate who has a good relationship, Su Yonglin has always cherished expectations.

He felt that Li Xiao was a person with courage and a relatively positive outlook, which was worth looking forward to.

"Su Shuai!"

Li Xiao was very excited and called out his former name, but Su Yonglin did not deliberately correct him, smiled and greeted him with a smile.

"It's been a while, General Li."

Li Xiao showed an embarrassed expression.

"Hahahaha! Su Shuai is too famous. How can I afford this title? Only you who have made such great achievements can afford it!"

"I don't dare to take great credit, it's just a little credit."

Su Yonglin smiled, then pointed to the Jingguan and asked, "Did the golden thief use the heads of our dead soldiers to build the city?"

Li Xiao looked over, restrained his smile, and shook his head.

"More than that, the golden thief not only killed many of our soldiers, but also slaughtered many villages around Fei County. Most of these should be residents around Fei County..."

"resident?"

Su Yonglin's breathing stagnated, his eyes widened.

"Yes, the golden thieves used a lot of despicable means in order to force us to surrender. They also burned, killed and looted everywhere, because we dared not fight, we could only watch them burn, kill and loot.

Some of our local soldiers went crazy after seeing these Jingguans, and the army also made troubles, almost causing turmoil. "

Li Xiao lowered his head, feeling very depressed.

Su Yonglin turned his head to look at the few Jingguans, and his eyes fell on the head of someone whose shape was terrifying and sad.

To be honest, on the battlefield, if in order to defeat the enemy, Su Yonglin doesn't mind using Jingguan as a means.

Jingguan is the highest form of showing off the force of one army to the other army. Since ancient times, the use of Jingguan to deter the enemy is not uncommon. On the battlefield, it is impossible to say that this is wrong.

It is not surprising that soldiers often used the heads of slain enemies to build Jingguan.

but.

These temples were not built with the heads of enemy soldiers killed.

Su Yonglin remembered that he had arranged for the peasants in the villages under his control to take refuge in the mountains under the guidance of the peasant associations to avoid the raid by the Jin Army. Later, he received a report that the residents of the new villages under the control of the Shengjie Army were basically spared. Not killed by the Golden Army.

As for the villages beyond the control of the Shengjie Army, naturally no one chose to avoid them, or they didn't have time to avoid them. Their fate may have ended in these Jingguans.

In the face of Jin Jun's deliberate attack, they are as fragile as newborn lambs, almost powerless to fight back.

In terms of organization, training, weaponry, and brutality, none of these peasants could surpass the Jin Army.

The Jin Army has no shackles in this regard. They are not the Victory Army, and they will not have the idea of ​​being friendly to the people. They will only treat the people as natural prey, kill them with the weapons in their hands, plunder their property, and satisfy their own desires. .

This is to be expected.

But when he really learned all this, Su Yonglin's heart was still uncomfortably blocked.

After adjusting his mood a little, Su Yonglin looked away and looked at Li Xiao.

"Zhao Lingshuai didn't lead his troops to pursue him, did he? Who went after him?"

Li Xiao blinked.

"Ah? Pursuit?"

"Well, chase, haven't you defeated the golden thief? Who is going to chase down the routed soldiers? This time the victory must be very rich."

Su Yonglin looked at Li Xiao, but saw that Li Xiao's expression gradually became a little strange.

"Su Shuai, what did you say?"

"what?"

Su Yonglin was also stunned.

Later, Su Yonglin was able to confirm that it turned out that he and Li Xiao jointly created a super misunderstanding incident that can be called an ancient anecdote.

The Jin Army in Fei County was not defeated at all. After the fire in the Jin Army's camp, the Restoration Army was not dispatched at all, because Zhao Kaishan suspected that this was a strategy of the Jin Army to lure the enemy.

Yaoshou, is such a big fire a trick to lure the enemy?

Su Yonglin didn't understand what Zhao Kaishan was thinking.

Why not attack?

Can't see the benefits of the sortie?
Su Yonglin's opinion of Zhao Kaishan turned sharply in an instant, and he began to worry that Zhao Kaishan would make unexpected actions under the various pressures that the Restoration Army would face in the future.

What made Su Yonglin even more speechless was that the Restoration Army actually thought that he led the troops to attack the Golden Army Camp and fought all night to finally defeat the Golden Army.

The fire in the golden army camp for a long time and so many dead people were caused by their own internal strife?
What kind of civil strife can bring an army of tens of thousands of people to collapse directly?
It was difficult for Su Yonglin to imagine what happened in the Golden Army Camp before he arrived.

And this brings up an even more important question.

The Golden Army Camp has collapsed, but it is impossible for all the [-] troops to die. After those who have died, what about the rest?

This question is very serious.

In case they collectively broke up and gathered somewhere and regained their fighting power.

That's a big problem.

Su Yonglin didn't have time to see Zhao Kaishan, so he explained what he had done to Li Xiao for a while, and asked Li Xiao to tell Zhao Kaishan, and then directly turned the horse's head back to the Golden Army Camp to follow up the results of the battlefield cleaning in person.

He wanted to determine where the fleeing Jin army went, and whether they still threatened.

Li Xiao was left alone in shock for a long time before he accepted the reality with difficulty, and returned to the barracks to find Zhao Kaishan.

Near noon, the results of the battlefield cleaning came out.

The dead and scorched corpses totaled more than [-], and one-sixth of the Jin army was buried in this chaos.

According to Li Xiao, the recovery army repelled more than a dozen attacks of the Jin army in a row, and each time they lost at least 100 people, so the battle damage of the Jin army would not be less than a thousand.

It is conservatively estimated that before yesterday, the Golden Army had lost at least 5000 troops, and with the addition of more than [-], the loss of the Golden Army would be more than [-].

That is to say, there are still more than 2 Jin troops defeated.

Su Yonglin was a little worried. He didn't know where the routed soldiers went, let alone whether they might be regrouped to form a fighting force.

The news that Su Yonglin was worried about was slightly reduced, because he learned that there were many people dressed in extraordinary clothes among the corpses.

According to the judgment, these corpses with unusual clothes and relatively strong bodies should be the corpses of officers. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary soldiers in the Jin Army to have strong bodies.

So it can be concluded that in this chaos, many Jin Army officers died.

When the troops cleaning the battlefield approached the center of the Jin Army barracks, they found several well-dressed corpses at the location of the central army tent.

According to the location of the corpses and the unusual clothes of the corpses, it can be basically concluded that these corpses are of high status and should be middle and senior officers.

Although their identities have not been determined yet, Su Yonglin ordered their bodies to be disposed of and brought back to the soldiers of the Golden Army to identify them and see if they were famous generals.

"The golden thief damaged a large number of officers, and these people in extraordinary clothes died tragically. It can be seen that the degree of chaos at that time must be very serious, comparable to the battalion roar."

Su Haisheng, who followed, made his own judgment on the situation of the Jinjun barracks.

Wei Kexian also agreed with him.

"It is very likely that the news of our army occupying the forage camp was leaked directly after it came, causing instability in the army and further causing violent turmoil. The gold thief is a complex army.

The food and grass are gone, and there is no way to retreat. It is enough to make these signatories who have no fighting spirit collapse in an instant and flee directly, which will lead to chaos and greater melee. According to me, this is how the main force of the golden thieves collapsed. "

Su Yonglin thought about it seriously and felt that it made sense.

"The golden thief army is mainly the signing army. The signing army has no fighting spirit. If they can escape, they will run away. The signing army mainly comes from the Dongping Prefecture area. Run away, to the west is... Tengzhou!"

Su Yonglin had a basic judgment and immediately gave orders to Su Haisheng and Wei Ke first.

"The two of you will take five hundred cavalry each to pursue Tengzhou in the west. No matter if you can catch up, you don't have to come back. Follow Tengzhou to Yanzhou, and go directly to Dongpingfu after passing through Yanzhou. If you catch up, try to capture as many defeated soldiers as possible. "

Su Haisheng and Wei Kexian immediately took the lead.

"Here!"

Then the two of them picked up a thousand cavalry and chased westward.
