From night till dawn.

The Bohai people didn't know how many Ning troops were killed from all directions, coupled with the impact of the refugees, the heavy armored infantry that they could have saved the situation withdrew after being attacked by the enemy on the back, and they also had to retreat, because everyone ran away except them, but the heavy infantry moved slowly, how easy was it to withdraw?

The fear brought by the darkness is not only the darkness itself, but also the ignorance of the enemy, the Ning army's shouting and killing were too loud, overpowering hundreds of thousands of Bohai people, the refugees fled, the archers fled, the light armored infantry ran away, and only the heavy armored infantry fighting alone remained.

"Calves!"

Meng Changan shouted hoarsely: "Cut off their calves!" ”

The chain mail on the heavy infantry of the Bohai State is too thick and heavy, and the knife cannot be broken, unless a group of people slash at one person, but if this fight continues, no one knows whether the Bohai Navy in the city will support it, and the fleeing army may also be reflexively killed.

The calf is the weakness of the heavy armored infantry of the Bohai State, and their calves are tied with iron bars one by one, not the whole body armor like the heavy armor of Daning Western Xinjiang, mainly because the Bohai State is too poor to support such an army, and it is impossible to select so many strong soldiers.

Therefore, their defense is mainly in the upper body, and the calves and thighs are blocked by vertical iron bars, and they can't see clearly at night, and this weakness is exposed as soon as the morning dawns.

Daning's soldiers began to frantically stab each other in the legs, if the heavy armor formation was not chaotic, this weakness was not a weakness, and they could support each other, but they withdrew...... No team can stay in chaos during the retreat when they are stuck to the enemy.

One by one, the hoplites went down, and the most effective way to kill them was not to cut them with knives, but to stomp on them.

It is more difficult for the fallen heavy infantry to stand up than normal people, not to mention that it is impossible for the soldiers of the Ning Army to give any enemy who has fallen a chance to stand up again.

The flesh under the heavy armor may have been trampled into mud, or the body may have looked fine but the internal organs have been trampled to pieces.

The blood and water under the iron armor gushed out one by one, and it was obvious that the person under the armor was empty, and how cruel it was to step on a person directly to empty it?

But the main theme on the battlefield is cruelty.

The slaughter lasted nearly an hour, and more than 4,000 heavy infantry of the Bohai Kingdom were killed.

If it weren't for the fear that the Bohai people had been killed, if it weren't for the chaos of the refugees outside the city, maybe the Bohai defenders in the city would have come out, but at this moment the Bohai King chose to give up, he didn't have the courage to open the city gate, he was afraid that those Ning troops who looked like crazy tigers would take the opportunity to kill the city gate, and now his only reliance is the Pingguang City, which is tall and strong in the city wall.

The Ning army led by Shen Leng and Yan Kaisong successfully crossed the river to join Meng Chang'an's headquarters and set up camp under Pingguang City.

Although the barracks and grain and grass of the Bohai Navy were almost burned, there was no place to build a camp, and the soldiers began to clean the battlefield, gather back the feathered arrows and weapons that could be used, and move the bodies of the dead soldiers to the side for burial.

Shen Leng looked sideways at Chen Ran, there was a big bag bulging on the guy's head, it was awkward to look at, the dirty face was mixed with blood and mud, one by one, extremely hideous.

"It's ugly."

Shen Leng said.

Chen Ran pouted: "Praise me." ”

Shen Leng: "Praise you." ”

Chen Ran: "......"

Meng Changan strode over, Shen Leng raised his hand to say hello, his hand was raised and shook there a few times, but Meng Changan was not interested in high-five him at all, and strode directly in front of Shen Leng and then hugged Shen Leng with a bear hug, so hard.

"It's good that you're not dead."

Meng Changan said.

Shen Leng was stunned there, and then laughed: "The Bohai people don't have a knife to kill me." ”

Meng Changan let go of his hand and went over to hug Chen Ran again, but Chen Ran was not used to it......

Meng Changan stretched out his finger and pointed at the big bag on Chen Ran's head: "It's really ugly." ”

Chen Ran: "......"

The team was reorganized, the camp was under construction, Shen Leng Meng Changan and a few of them squatted by the river to wash their faces, holding the cold river water and rubbing their faces vigorously, not to mention how refreshing the feeling was, all the tiredness and all the sleepiness seemed to be washed away in an instant, and the killing intent was also washed away, they looked at each other, and then laughed inexplicably, and couldn't stop if they wanted to, as if they were stupid.

"This battle is thanks to Chen Wuli."

Shen Leng looked at Chen Ran: "Tell me, how did you do it." ”

Chen Ran took a few sips of river water, and then cleared his throat: "I don't know if you can see it, I have a unique leadership temperament, although I am wearing refugee clothes, although my face is as dirty as theirs, but the moment I stand up, everyone has to look up, they look at me like a god, as if there is a golden circle of light behind my head, exuding my incomparably holy brilliance." ”

Shen Leng: "I don't know if there is a golden aperture behind your head, I know that there is a big red bag in front of your head." ”

Chen Ran glanced at him: "You still don't believe it, if you see it with your own eyes, you will believe it, I was standing in the crowd at that time and made a generous statement, counting the cruelty and inhumanity of the King of Bohai, those refugees listened to the righteous indignation, and asked me to be their leader to jointly overthrow the King of Bohai and establish a new dynasty, I repeatedly refused, but after all, because my personal charm was really impossible to reduce, I had to reluctantly agree to them." ”

Shen sneered and said, "You know what? The previous dynasty was the state of Chu, the former dynasty of the previous dynasty was the state of Zhou, and there was a beauty named Zhen Ji in the Zhou state. ”

Chen Ranleng paused: "I've heard of it, but what does it have to do with me?" ”

Shen Leng: "Do you know what Zhen Ji is best at?" It was made of pu liu basket, the emperor of Zhou heard that she was talented and beautiful and deliberately went to see her in person, she performed the basket in front of the emperor of Zhou and the civil and military officials, but accidentally pierced her hand and couldn't continue to weave, so her mother stood up and helped Zhen Ji complete the performance, and the emperor of Zhou praised it...... It is said that Zhen Ji can make it up, but it turns out that Zhen can make it up. ”

Chen Ran: "......"

Meng Chang'an: "The story Leng Zi told is incomplete, what I heard is that Zhen Ji's fucking hand was also stabbed at that time, at this time, Zhen Ji's father, who taught the two of them the basket weaving skills, stood up and finished weaving the basket with the most beautiful posture...... Zhen Ji's father can make it up. ”

Chen Ran squatted there, looked at Shen Leng and then at Meng Changan, and then burst out laughing.

The three of them laughed like they were stupid.

After laughing enough, the three of them lay on the riverside and looked at the blue sky and white clouds floating in the sky, and they didn't want to do anything, they just wanted to lie down like this.

In the distance, some soldiers stripped naked and jumped into the icy river to wash off the blood stains on their bodies, screaming, they roared and vented like crazy, and this cheer was so harsh to the Bohai people in the city.

Half an hour later, Shen Leng, who had taken a bath, was discussing in the military tent that had just been set up.

Shen Leng looked at Yan Kaisong: "How about the loss?" ”

Yan Kaisong said: "It is much smaller than expected, the number of casualties of the soldiers is less than that of the auxiliaries, and the casualties of the auxiliaries when the pontoon bridge is built...... Although the exact number has not yet been counted, I estimate that there are at least 2,000 or so. ”

Shen Leng snorted: "Pass the order, and all the pipe bands of the auxiliary battalion will immediately count the number of dead people, list, I want to ask for credit for them." ”

Yan Kaisong looked at Chen Ran and Sumeru: "The first merit is to give them those who have ventured to sneak into the north shore, if it weren't for them, even if we have twice as many losses, or even two or three times the losses, we may not be able to successfully defeat Anshui." ”

Chen Ran smiled embarrassedly: "No, no, no." ”

Yan Kaisong said: "Of course, this credit is too great, Your Majesty will directly promote you to a general." ”

Chen Ran laughed when he heard that he could be a general, he swore with his father that he must honor his ancestors, and he must let his father be able to enjoy the scenery when he returns to Fish Scale Town in the future, and now, it seems that all this is close at hand.

"Forget it."

Chen Ran shook his head suddenly: "The general is boring, it is better to give Leng Zi a pro-soldier team who is coming." ”

Sumeru said: "If you should be your general, you can be your general, and I can do this errand." ”

Yan Kaisong glanced at Shen Leng enviously, and Shen sneered and shook his head.

"Let the brethren all rest."

Shen Leng said: "Arrange people to take turns and rest for two days, our grain and grass are enough to last for about ten days, and the follow-up grain and grass supplies don't know when they will come up, we are fighting too fast, there is a lack of control along the way, and the grain transportation team will be harassed, so we must be prepared for no grain and grass support." ”

Yan Kaisong snorted: "After resting for two days, within seven days, Pingguang City must be attacked." ”

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, Shen Leng sent someone out to see what was going on, and after a while, the soldiers brought back a person, who turned out to be a messenger sent by the King of Bohai, that guy was obviously scared enough, but he still held on to prevent himself from looking embarrassed.

"Ahem, I'm ...... I am Han Yuanyan, the left prime minister of the Bohai Kingdom, and I am here on the orders of His Majesty, the Emperor of the Bohai Kingdom, come, come here to advise you, Your Majesty is merciful, you can ignore the many sins you have committed before, as long as you are willing to withdraw from the army, my emperor, cough cough...... My emperor can not blame the past. ”

Shen Leng waved his hand: "Fork out." ”

Han Yuanyan hurriedly said: "The general listened to me, cough cough...... Your Majesty means that if so, if the general is willing to withdraw from the army, Your Majesty is willing to give 50,000 taels of silver as a thank-you gift. ”

Chen Ran: "Fifty thousand taels? Are you Bohai poor like this? ”

Han Yuanyan's face flushed: "Your Majesty said, yes, this ...... Willing to pay tribute to Ningguo, and cut off all contacts with Heiwu in the future, as long as His Majesty the Emperor Daning gives an order, my Bohai State will definitely follow the order, fight Heiwu, we have the money to contribute and make a strong contribution. ”

Chen Ran snorted and laughed: "Do you still have money?" ”

Han Yuanyan coughed a few more times: "General, you should also understand that it is a fool's dream to break through Pingguang City, when the 300,000 troops of the Chu State besieged for more than a month, they did not break through, and the general does not even have 100,000 soldiers under his command now, right?" If the general is sympathetic to his subordinates, it is better to negotiate peace, and the general puts forward the conditions, and I will take them back to tell Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will consider it. ”

Shen Leng: "What did you say just now?" ”

"Huh?"

Han Yuanyan looked at Shen Leng: "Which sentence?" ”

Shen Leng: "You said that the King of Bohai is willing to be a minister?" ”

Han Yuanyan: "Yes, yes, Your Majesty said so." ”

Shen Leng: "That's naturally good, I agreed." ”

Han Yuanyan was stunned: "What did the general say?" ”

Shen Leng said: "I agreed, but I didn't count...... In this way, you have worked hard, come here, pick a team of ten people, send this envoy back to Chang'an to see Your Majesty, if Your Majesty agrees, send people back quickly, don't delay the surrender of King Bohai. ”

Chen Ran smiled: "Okay." ”

As soon as he beckoned, his soldiers went up and took Han Yuanyan out of the way.

"What about the people in the Imperial Captain's Mansion in the army?"

Shen sneered: "Go and ask him to see which Bohai King still has some skills in the city." ”
