Kai Fu Han

Chapter 256 anticlimactic
"Wait a minute, put down the Grand Master's head!" A man who looked like a general demanded from the surrounding enemy troops.

Jiao Rui looked at the increasing number of enemies around him. Considering that the dead were the most numerous, the ancients were very concerned about whether the whole corpse was left behind.He slammed the spear in his hand onto the ground, stood upright, then let go and continued to move forward. This time, no one stopped him.

After getting out of the crowd, Jiao Rui breathed a sigh of relief.

There were so many ants that they killed the elephant. There were at least a thousand people of the pseudo-Qi and Han troops surrounding them just now, and reinforcements were coming from the outside in a steady stream.

"Are we really going to find Wanyan Jingzhe?" Liu Xinyuan asked.

"Yes, but there are tens of thousands of people on the battlefield. How can it be so easy to find one person? Liu Yi is dead. It is no longer important whether Wanyan Jingzhe can be found. It is more important to cause more and greater trouble to the Jin-Qi coalition, so we We need to act separately.”

"It's your arrangement!"

Jiao Rui was not polite: "You take a group of people to the front line to find Wanyan Jingzhe. I will take people to find the place where they store grain and grass. Set it on fire and destroy their confidence to continue attacking Penglai."

"it is good!"

The two groups acted separately.

The news of Liu Yi's murder had begun to spread, and the camp was already in chaos. It was dark and I couldn't see anything. As I walked around, I found that the camp was already roaring.

The combination of various factors such as the collapsing rebel troops, the wanton propaganda of the Xinghan Alliance by the defeated troops who retreated from the battlefield, and the leadership of the coalition forces being manipulated by Jiao Rui, resulted in the complete paralysis of military discipline in the camp, and all the soldiers were free of military discipline. The bondage, crazy venting.

Some clear-minded guys began to pick up people and retaliate against them.Since most of the soldiers were recruited by the Puppet Qixin, many of them formed gangs based on their hometown connections, so a melee began.

At this time, the officers who usually bully the soldiers have become the number one targets. In the chaos, everyone is settling their own debts, and no one who should pay their debts will be able to escape.

Some red-eyed soldiers even waved their knives at the ranks of warriors walking through the camp, but they were all easily eliminated.

After grabbing a few enemy soldiers who were fleeing in panic and asking about the location of the grain and grass storage, Jiao Rui led the soldiers to the grain and grass storage point.

Hundreds of carts were surrounded in a camp within a camp, where the original guards had been hacked to the ground by their own people, and many rioters inside were robbing food.

Jiao Rui looked at the covered cart. Most of it was hay for the horses, and only a small part was grain.

"Order everything! Then come back here and gather." Jiao Rui ordered.

The 20 people acted separately. Two-quarters of an hour later, the entire logistics storage point was ignited. The fire shot into the sky and was very eye-catching in the night.

"Let's go, let's retreat directly east to the Huangshui position."

As time went by, the camp became more and more chaotic, and Jiao Rui's group became more relaxed when walking through the camp. As soon as they walked out of the camp, they met a group of people led by Liu Xinyuan.

These 11 figures must have gone through a brutal battle. The brown outer coverings of their armors were all torn to pieces. The marks of swords were obvious, and there was blood seeping out in some places. Fortunately, they all had their hands and feet intact, and no one was seriously injured.

"We didn't find Wanyan Jingzhe. When we rushed to the front line, we were just in time to withdraw our troops. The cavalry of the Jin Army was gathered and retreated towards the south. We wanted to follow, but we were surrounded by a team of thousands of Jin soldiers. These people surrounded us desperately. We killed more than half of them before they collapsed, which delayed them for some time." Liu Xinyuanhui reported.

"It seems that Wanyan Jingzhe received the news that the Chinese army's tent was attacked, so he urgently withdrew his troops. It should be difficult to pursue now." Jiao Rui replied. "I still want to try."

Jiao Rui looked at Liu Xinyuan's firm eyes and couldn't say no.There is a fundamental difference between the hatred of the people of Liujiapu in Qizhou towards the Jurchen Tatars of the Jin Kingdom and those who later joined the Xinghan League.

Liujiabao was massacred, and he hated the Jurchen Tatars deeply. Moreover, Wanyan Jingzhe was the superior officer of Centurion Mohe Hanhai who commanded the massacre last time. If he let it go this time, he would never know when he would have the opportunity to do it himself. I killed my enemy with my own hands.

"Which of you wants to follow? There is no force now. You can make your own choice."

Hearing Jiao Rui's words, more than a dozen of the surrounding soldiers stood up.

"I only need ten people." Liu Xinyuan selected ten people and then chased towards the south.

Jiao Rui led the remaining soldiers directly eastward, past the battlefield filled with corpses, and entered the first trench.

When Liu Xinqi was found, Liu Xinang happened to be reporting on his side's battle losses.

"Preliminary statistics show that 210 of our troops were killed and 370 injured."

"How much gunpowder is left?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"Only the [-]th Infantry Battalion still has a small half of the gunpowder remaining, and the other three infantry battalions have all used up." Liu Xinang replied.

"Did your trip go well?" Liu Xinqi asked Jiao Rui, who was walking over.

"It went well. We killed Liu Yi and some enemy generals who were in the Chinese army's camp at the time. However, we couldn't find Liu Lin and let Wanyan Jingzhe run away." Jiao Rui replied: "Xinyuan led ten people and chased him. , saying that he wanted to kill Wanyan Jingzhe with his own hands."

Liu Xinqi understood Liu Xinyuan. His parents, wife and children were all killed by the Tatars. When Gu Yi met Liu Yi and Wanyan Jingzhe before, he was very considerate of the overall situation when he could hold back and not commit murder.

"Killing Liu Yi is enough to achieve the expected goal. I see that you are still in the enemy camp and are on fire prevention?" Liu Xinqi asked.

"Yes, they burned the food and grass stored in their camp."

"Well done, Huang County must be in our hands by now. The remaining coalition soldiers, without logistical supplies and generals to command, are nothing to fear," Liu Xinqi said.

"More than 5 people came to attack, and the victory or defeat was determined in one night. It was a bit of an anticlimax." Liu Xinang said, but his tone was filled with joy. After all, the Xinghan League had survived this disaster.

"It's not just the enemy who has started but failed. We originally planned to carry out the "decapitation battle", and then take a boat around the sea to the boundary river to intercept these defeated troops and capture all the prisoners. Now that there is no gunpowder, this plan cannot be implemented, and the results cannot be maximized. It’s a pity.”

Liu Xinqi did not make it too clear. In fact, in addition to insufficient gunpowder, there were other reasons that prevented the maximum results from being achieved.For example: the blocking battle at the Huangshui position resulted in too many casualties on our side; Wanyan Jingzhe was not beheaded, so the Jin cavalry still had an organizational structure and could not be forced to jump over the wall.

"That's really a pity. Overall, it seems that we were passively attacked." Liu Xin'ang directly ignored the Yexian and Huangxian counties that his side occupied by surprise.

"Although it is impossible to intercept the rout, the necessary show of force is still necessary. After dawn, use the golden eagle to notify the first fleet, leaving one or two warning ships, and the other ships will go to the boundary river. The main purpose is to make them withdraw and rout Soldiers, so that they cannot cross the river safely, and at the same time gather the defeated troops who are willing to surrender to us." Liu Xinqi arranged.
