Chapter 53: The Primeval Forest
Zhou Bo and Chen He rushed towards Zhang Feng together, and the Yongwang soldiers, whose morale had collapsed, couldn't stop them at all, and after solving a few enemy troops, the two rushed to Zhang Feng.
Zhang Xuan, who was frightened in his heart, hurriedly faced the battle, where was the opponent, he was first stabbed in the arm by Chen He, and then killed by Zhou Bo.
"Zhang Feng has been slaughtered by me, and he will not be killed if he surrenders......"
Zhou Bo shouted loudly and raised the weapon with the head of the chapter in the air.
The Han army temporarily stopped attacking the enemy army, and as long as the enemy army did not attack them, the soldiers temporarily stopped, which was Deng Yulong's order.
Whether the world is controlled by himself in the end, or someone else, Deng Yulong tries his best to preserve the vitality of the world, the population itself is small in this period, the population is the most important productive force, and if you can, try not to kill.
Itself, the morale of King Yong's army has long been broken, the lord will be killed, and those who surrender will not die, and they have thrown down their weapons and surrendered.
The Han army collected its weapons and concentrated its surrendered troops.
According to statistics, among the 8,000 people of the Yong army, more than 1,000 died from the stones, bows and arrows of the ambush soldiers, and more than 1,000 people were killed by the Han army at close range, with a total of 4,957 surrendered soldiers.
On the Han side, only 148 men were killed and 61 seriously wounded, which was an almost perfect victory.
Zhou Bo sent fast horses and asked them to rush back to the camp to report this victory.
The bodies of those enemy soldiers who died in battle were buried in a nearby place.
In the afternoon, on the road to the south, more than 10,000 Han soldiers and surrendered troops formed a long queue and marched in front of the army.
At the same time, more than 7,000 people led by Guan Ying, Han Xin, and Fan Mu went north along the road.
In the evening, the two teams met.
One side rejoices at the victory of the other, and the other wishes the friendly forces a successful mission.
The next day, after a night of camping, the two sides continued to set off, Zhou Bo led the army to continue the return, and Guan Ying led the army to continue to march.
Two hours later, more than 7,000 people stopped.
Cao Erxi said: "General Guan, it's best to go into the mountain from here." ”
He was asked to lead the way, and more than 7,000 people went into the inaccessible mountains and forests.
Even in the mountains and forests, this area is the best to walk, but here it is almost like a primeval forest, there are both tall trees and various dwarf plants, which grow extremely dense and thorny, and it is much more difficult to walk than the Chencang Road, which has not been opened up in the first place.
"Fortunately, it's winter, and most of the animals have gone through the winter and hidden, and at other times, there are a lot of poisonous snakes and poisonous insects."
Cao Erxi led the way in front, while telling Guan Ying, Fan Mu, and Han Xin.
Although it was difficult for the soldiers who came from the Orion Families in Ba County to do it here, they were used to the hunting life, adapted to the mountain environment, and it was normal for them to move in the dense forest.
For the Tiance Army, although they have never walked in such mountains and forests, they are very adaptable and can quickly adapt to such an environment.
"Roar...," the tiger roared.
"In the mountains and forests, each tiger has its own territory, and it should be us who have trespassed into its territory."
Cao Erxi explained again, even if he didn't say it, most people knew about these situations.
Soon, the soldiers found the fleeing tiger, and thousands of soldiers set foot in the forest, and even the king of beasts could only flee in the wilderness.
Moving in the primeval forest, the speed of progress is slow, and according to Cao Erxi's description, it will probably be tomorrow afternoon to reach the place where there is a cliff.

At noon, the Han army camped.
Liu Bang, Deng Yulong, and the generals all greeted the return of the heroic troops outside the gate. Last night, a fast horse had already returned to report on the battle in detail.
Zhou Bo, Chen He, Kong Ju, and Xiahou Ying all came to Deng Yulong to salute.
Zhou Bo said: "Report to the general, the last general and the three generals have won a big battle according to your instructions. ”
Xiahou Ying exclaimed: "General, your use of soldiers is really secondary, and the last general admires it." ”
Kong Ju said: "I really served the general, and I fought with you, it was really enjoyable." ”
All the generals were happy, from the military preparations and training of the soldiers a few months ago to the three successive victories in the command of the army, everyone was basically convinced by Deng Yulong, the great general.
Liu Bang laughed happily and said: "The general really uses soldiers like a god. ”
Cao Shen said: "I misunderstood the general before, I always thought that the general was not good, but now it seems that General Deng should be the commander of the three armies of the Han Dynasty." ”
The generals spoke one after another and said something praising Deng Yulong, which was not flattery, but praise from the heart.
Deng Yulong said: "It's just the beginning, and taking Chencang is only the first step in the long march." ”
A long march? Suddenly, the word popped up, and everyone could only vaguely guess the meaning. Deng Yulong has come up with a lot of new words before, and everyone will not be surprised by this.
This is the most appropriate language for Deng Yulong to express when describing the current situation.
Liu Bang said: "I said general, you often come up with unheard of things, quickly explain to everyone, what does this 'Long March of 10,000 miles' mean?" ”
Deng Yulong said: "The 'Long March' refers to a very long journey. The king of Han wanted to take Guanzhong first, and then send troops to Guguan, defeat Xiang Yu, and win the world, which was a difficult and long journey. Taking Chen Cang is only the first step in a journey of thousands of miles. ”
In fact, in his heart, he also alluded to himself that he led the army to go on the expedition, and now it is only the beginning of the long march of 10,000 miles, and the road ahead is still very long. Xiang Yu is destined to be the loser, and Liu Bang may not be the final winner.
"Wonderful! The word invented by the great general is wonderful! ”
Liu Bang gave a thumbs up and praised.
This time, there were nearly 5,000 soldiers, most of whom were willing to join the Han army, and for those who were unwilling to join the army, as last time, they were first imprisoned, and then let them go home after capturing Guanzhong.
