Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 717
Hearing the shouting from the opposite side, after Shen Zhezi pondered for a while, he asked his own soldiers to respond bluntly.

Shi Cong's mood was extremely complicated at the moment, and he didn't even know why he asked the soldiers to ask this question. Maybe he just wanted to know who killed him, or he couldn't help but retreat in such a desperate manner. accept.

When he heard the soldiers on the opposite side shouting that the enemy's chief general was actually in the chariot formation, Shi Cong's heart suddenly jumped, and he subconsciously wanted to break through the chariot formation at all costs to capture the opponent's chief general.But soon, the corpses hanging outside the car formation, and the annoyance and resentment of being attacked this time came to his mind together, and immediately dispelled his eager thoughts.

Looking at the strength of the opponent's army, I'm afraid that if all these troops are confessed here, they may not be able to break away.Moreover, the opponent still has boats and sailors supporting him on the water, and there are successors on the other side. For the moment alone, he is already in a weak position.

And more importantly, he couldn't confirm the authenticity of this statement at all, so there was no point in wasting his life for an unpredictable goal.

After dispelling this idea, Shi Cong felt even more depressed, and didn't know what to do next.But after pondering for a while, he himself steered his horse forward, stopped when he was out of range, and faced the opposite camp, first let out a long laugh, and then said loudly: "It turned out that Shen Weizhou was close to us, and we divided our affairs between the north and the south. I have also heard the name of Hou Ruiyong. At first, I thought it was just Nan Shiduo's wild words, and his reputation was in vain, but this small battle, I know that Shen Hou is indeed talented."

Everyone in the Huainan Army was taken aback when they saw Shi Cong stepping up to speak out in person.On the side, Lu Yong's spirit was revived, and he turned to Shen Zhezi and said, "The slave general is out of his wits and is still arrogant. The final general please pick his head before the battle!"

Shen Zhezi waved his hands with a smile, and said: "This thief is just hypocritical. It doesn't take much effort to force a walking corpse inside and out."

As he said that, he asked Lu Yong to reply for himself: "There is no north and south in this world, and those who serve you respectfully are nothing more than tyrants and usurpers. To defeat the invincible with the way is invincible. This is the right way of heaven and human relations. It's meaningless to show your talent. Your Excellency is indeed lucky. Knowing that my master Wang Shirui, who is capable of fighting in martial arts, slave generals Huang Quan and Peng Biao's disciples, have all died. Your Excellency still has a life to deposit. Think of the love of the heavens, and retreat from the shadows. If you continue to abuse the world like a thief, you will die without a place to bury your body, and your life will be paid to the heroes for their meritorious deeds!"

When Shi Cong heard this, his face darkened suddenly. He didn't expect the other party's words to be sharper than swords, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.But now that he is in front of the two armies, if he is so silent, he will inevitably lose his momentum.

"The land of Nanxiang has always been far away from the king's rule. How dare you speak falsely about the destiny? My lord lives in Shenzhou, which is the destiny. If the king of Jin has compassion for the common people, he should be attached to the king's teaching." Next, there is no point in avoiding the distant country again, bitterly rejecting the king's order of Heaven's will!"

After pondering for a long time, Shi Cong shouted out again: "Our country's majestic millions of soldiers do not practice cunning and deceitful ways. Marquis Shen is doing tricky things this time, and he got a little gain. Don't be happy with it, it is the best human power can do. I accept it As taught by the Lord, love the strong men from the north and the south, and because of pity for human life, stop fighting for the time being. Although I have a small loss, I will send it to the Marquis of Shen for the time being. In the future, our army will come here. Following this old friendship, I will let go across the Huai River and go straight. Bring it. At that time, Marquis Shen will be invited to go with him and go to Jiangbiao to invite King Jin to return to Shenzhou."

"The two armies did not speak falsely before the battle. Shi Jun humbled the Hu Lord and rebelled. Why did the army still have no self-respect after the defeat? Jiang Biao is rich in products, and there are thousands of trees in the shade. With a little felling, more than a million boards can be cut to make coffins. .Shi Jilong begged for death, and he should do this to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. He has committed a crime, and he can still avoid being exposed to the wild at the end. It can be said that he has no regrets."

Shen Zhezi also laughed when he heard the words, and then sent someone to spread the word: "The king sits down in the hall and appoints loyal and brave soldiers. Chen Bing is here. The land of martial arts. The importance of Chinese artifacts, if you overstep and inherit them, you will die and your family will be wiped out. Liu Yuanhai’s misfortune is not far away, and Shi Shilong’s footsteps are behind him. The tomb is waiting, and the prophecy is not far away!”

Hearing this, Shi Cong finally gave up his plan to save some face, so he snorted coldly and said, "Shen Hou said harshly, all those with knowledge will be ashamed. In the future, the heroes will come here, I hope you will not let this ambition go." .”

"To change or not to change, I am afraid that Mr. Shi will not be lucky enough to see you again. This time, I will give you a little word of advice. If a person has the ambition to survive, he will not end up in a dead end. The only thing that matters to the living is life. If you don't love this body, people Can't love it."

Seeing that Shi Cong had steered his horse back, Shen Zhezi smiled and asked someone to shout.

After hearing this, Shi Cong couldn't help feeling even worse. He waved his horsewhip from a distance and walked away without looking back.He knows what his own situation is like, so why should others talk too much!

As soon as Shi Cong retreated, the rest of the slaves followed Huo Xiao, and the scene became silent for a while.Only the thick accumulation of arrows at the bend of the river, and the stacked corpses in front of the chariot array declared that a tragic battle had just taken place here.

Seeing that the slave soldiers retreated so easily, everyone in the Huainan Army also breathed a sigh of relief, and sent out scouts to follow them up, making sure that the other party had indeed withdrawn their troops, and their tense hearts were completely relaxed.

The boats moored on the water began to dock, and the vacant flags and drums were also put away, and the soldiers on board began to carry the burlap sacks filled with earth and rocks off the ship.This time the Huainan Army's manpower can be said to have been used to the limit. In fact, these ships near the shore were just bluffing. If Shi Cong ordered another forceful attack or even a rush to cross, the weakness of the flank would be exposed immediately.

Right now, the chariot formation was used to scare away the thieves. In order to prevent the opponent from attacking back, the chariot formation was temporarily reserved, and the soldiers had already begun to clean the battlefield.A large number of arrows were recovered, and the blood-soaked long spears that penetrated the corpses of the slaves caused the soldiers to scramble.

Lu Yong stayed at the back of the palace, while Shen Zhezi boarded the boat to transfer, and began to count the gains of this battle.This time it can be described as a complete victory, which can not only motivate the soldiers who have won meritorious service, but also stabilize the hearts of Huainan as a whole.After this victory, there is no longer any need for large troops to stay in Huaibei for long.

During the retreat, Cao Na, who was in charge of going north to meet Shen Mu's people who had penetrated behind the enemy's rear, had also returned.In terms of merit, Shen Mu's armored and heavy cavalry was the first achievement. Without them breaking down the slave camp, all other victories would have no foundation to speak of.

It is gratifying to win, but there are also many losses.This time when we went deep into the enemy's rear, there were nearly [-] regular armored soldiers, including servants, but less than a thousand were able to withdraw successfully in the end. The rest either died on the spot or were scattered behind the enemy's rear. Then send rangers to search for support.

As for the loss of material resources, especially Shen Mu's decision to abandon the armor, although there are follow-ups to be picked up and recycled by Yingsheng's department, a considerable part of it is still lost and scattered in the slave department, and only a little over [-] can be recovered. More than half of the discount!
Although Shen Zhezi was heartbroken, after learning about the battle, he also understood that Shen Mu's decision was not only correct, but also meritorious.The combat effectiveness of the slave army in the field is too high. After all, the Huainan Army is a little less experienced. Without the assistance of weapons, it is still difficult to achieve equal combat effectiveness in the short term.

Shen Mu also understands the great value of the armor and equipment discarded by him. It is not just a loss of property, but it will take enough time to make up for it.But after returning to the army, he didn't have much shame on his face, but was full of joy, pretending to be mysterious and beckoning to Shen Zhezi, asking him to go to the nearby boat.

Shen Zhezi saw that there were three ships that did not have too many soldiers, but they were extremely heavy. He was curious. He boarded the ship and took a look. took three ships.

"You, you... are you still looting behind the enemy's rear?"

After being slightly surprised, Shen Zhezi turned to look at Shen Mu again, with a serious expression.

"This is a windfall from the sky! After I left the slave camp, I went back to find Liu Wei. I avoided the battle and sneaked all the way, but found more than a hundred elite slave soldiers hiding there in the wild swamp. They encircled and wiped out, and this is what they got!"

Shen Mu said with a smile, he had no way to brag to Xie Yi and the others because he didn't get more, but he ended up picking up such an astonishing amount of goods in the wild.

When Shen Zhezi heard what Shen Mu said, he was still a little suspicious. After Liu Meng, who was recuperating, woke up and asked carefully, he couldn't help feeling that they were really lucky.Although these gold and silver goods are not as directly usable as materials such as cattle, horses, and grass, they also have their own value, which is really a great harvest.

Shen Mu was complacent, but he didn't know that there were people in Qiaocheng who were so heartbroken that they vomited blood.
