In summer, the day dawns early, just at the beginning of the day, the sky is already bright, and the wisps of morning light are sprinkled down, which seems to have the effect of eliminating violence and calming the nerves.

The excitement of blood and killing can blind people's minds for a while, but after all, it is difficult to last long, and after the "lighthouse" general goal of the Liao army recedes, after the madness, the chaos gradually stops......

People's energy is limited, and after the most exhausting time, after hysterical venting, no matter how strong a person is, he has to soften and enter the sage mode.

Without the cover of the night, the scene on the bank of the muddy water revealed its true face, the corpses were more than ten miles long, the tidal flats were stained with blood, and the river was soaked in red. The sound of the fighting of the swords had subsided, and the wind was no longer so fierce, replaced by bursts of desolate and mournful cries.

There are too many dead and wounded. In particular, the life and death of those captive Jin ministers, the families of the surrendered soldiers, and the forcibly conscripted people, the life and death of these people are the most insecure......

Liu Chengyou led the army, and it was only at dawn that he breathed a sigh of relief, but his spirit was still tense, and he moved to a relatively clean camp in the northwest of Liaoying for temporary rest.

After a night of liver explosion, marching, raiding, and fighting, he was already physically and mentally exhausted, and fatigue surged up like a tide, but he didn't dare to relax at all, forcibly suppressing the instinctive sleepiness of the body, Liu Chengyou inspected and comforted the sergeants, especially those who were injured.

The Longqi sergeants who were really assembled by Liu Chengyou were less than 4,000 people, and there were all armies, mainly the first and fourth armies, and the rest were all lost in the chaos.

On Liu Chengyou's side, only Zhang Yanwei, Ma Quanyi, and Murong Yanzhao, the three army commanders, are still there. Zhang Yanwei was injured and grinned in pain, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth; Ma Quanyi is the same, he has been wounded in several places, but his expression is still calm; As for Murong Yanzhao, he was not injured, but he was also in a mess.

After dawn, only Han Tong led a part of the horse army that pursued the Khitans to return to the building. The Longqi Army was basically dispersed.

Under the high teeth stained with blood, Liu Chengyou sat casually on a dirt slope and asked, "How many people have not returned?" ”

"All armies and battalions, more than half!" After a brief inspection, Murong Yanzhao reported to Liu Chengyou, and his voice was low: "The first and fourth armies each belong to two battalions, the second and third armies belong to only one battalion, and the commanders of the two armies have not returned, General Guo and Xiang have no trace of the army, and General Luo has no news, I am afraid they are all trapped in the chaos." As for the casualties and battle losses, they still need to be checked and counted, and there is no exact number for the time being......"

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou was silent, looking at the bloody place in the south, and his mood was very heavy. It is said that it is easy to get a thousand armies, and it is difficult to find a general, and the commanders of the two armies, Guo Rong, Xiang Xun, Luo Yanpu, not to mention other middle and lower-level officers, if these people are all in the chaos of the army, then his Longqi army will be basically abolished.....

"Let Han Tong go to Luancheng to recruit some people, cooks and women, get water and chop wood, and bury pots to make rice. Continue to treat the wounded, let the soldiers rest for a while, recover their strength as soon as possible, and then search and rescue me! After a few moments, Liu Chengyou pointed to the south and commanded solemnly.

"Yes!"

Last night's great upheaval, the people in Luan County were also sleepless all night, worried and uneasy. Hantong took people to recruit people, and it was very easy. As for grain, firewood, and even wine and meat, there were many in the Liao camp, and although a lot was burned, what remained was still a huge amount.

His eyes were still cast on the south, staring at the large area of blood that reflected the morning glow, his eyes were a little sad for a while, Liu Chengyou's eyes were bloodshot, and there were faint roars such as "kill Hulu" and "kill Khitan" in his ears.

was already exhausted to the extreme, and as soon as his spirit was only slightly relaxed, Liu Chengyou had the urge to lie down and sleep soundly, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and his body was a little floating. He was both tired and hardworking, and he really couldn't stand it, so he pinched his thighs without leaving any effort, and suppressed the intense sleepiness with pain, Liu Chengyou stood up.

Perceiving Liu Chengyou's state, Li Chongju, who was still guarding the side, spoke: "Your Highness, you can sleep for a while." ”

Directly shook his head, he knew that in his state at this time, once he lay down and didn't sleep well, he wouldn't get up. waved his hand, walked now, and said, "No, it's not time to relax yet, accompany me to patrol again." ”

Around, a large number of soldiers have already lay down, sleeping with their pillows and knives, snoring, one after another.

It took two hours for Sergeant Longqi to recover, and although he was still exhausted, he had finally regained a lot of energy. After eating with water, they began to spread out and clean up the battlefield. During this period of time, one after another, there were also the rest of the fallen soldiers, who returned under the leadership of the commanders. They are all warriors of a hundred battles, and their robes are stained with blood.

At the same time as the Longqi Army was being rectified, the Yan soldiers, the Jin army, and those young men who survived the suicide were also gathered together, and they were inevitably a little wary of each other. Of course, when you meet those Khitans who are still alive, you will easily end their lives.

For the Yan soldiers, Liu Chengyou directly ordered the Yan officers who had been subdued in Luzhou to contact and summon them, and the effect was not bad. Those Yan people rebelled against the Khitan, they were hesitating, with nowhere to go, and in the face of Liu Chengyou's kindness, they simply accepted it and surrendered temporarily.

The Longqi Army, no matter how it is the victorious division, broke through the Khitan hundreds of thousands of elites with the power of one army, and as the victor, it completely played the military might, making the Yan soldiers obedient. In order to show his attention, Liu Chengyou also went in person to meet those Yan generals, and negotiated and promised to convince them. Soon, the remaining Yan soldiers also began to cooperate with the Longqi Army to clean up the battlefield and save the dead.

Among those Yan generals, one of them behaved very kindly and directly expressed his intention to Liu Chengyou to take refuge. His name is Li Yun, who was originally the commander of the Later Jin Dynasty Forbidden Army to control the crane, and after the Khitan entered Bian, Zhao Yanshou heard of his bravery and took him into his account to obey orders.

Liu Chengyou gladly accepted the effect of this person, and in this situation, such an activist is conducive to harmony and stability. chatted with him, and learned that he was also from Taiyuan, and he could understand why his willingness to surrender was so sufficient.

Because Li Yun had the qualifications of a general of the forbidden army, Liu Chengyou immediately made a decision and appointed him as the envoy of the camp, responsible for appeasing the scattered Jin army. And these pawns, the appeasement of the Longqi Army is obviously much more cordial, after all, his own people, Liu Chengyou's side is also still under the banner of "Jin Army".

And Luo Yanpu's side had already consciously gathered some of the soldiers in advance and moved closer to Liu Chengyou's side.

In the south, there were also Longqi sergeants, who were ordered to organize the remaining Jin ministers, Ding Zhuang, old and weak women and children. For a time, on the ruins of Liaoying, the figure of the Longqi sergeant was active everywhere, and the original dead place added a bit of vitality.

For Liu Chengyou, although the battle was won, the aftermath was more complicated and troublesome.

PS: The battle of Luancheng is finished, and it looks like it's a little big, because a lot of details that were originally going to be written were pinched out in the process, but even so, it feels like it's too much water, not concise enough, make do with it.
