The war did not last long, especially after Xiahou Yuan's elite was suppressed by Wei Yue's army, the soldiers in front lost their command and supervision team, and when the casualties continued to increase and the sword and shield soldiers began to turn over and oppress them, deserters began to appear.

Mocheng has not as many soldiers and horses as Cao Jun, and at this moment, he naturally has no ability to send pursuers to intercept it, even if he has this ability, Liu Yi is not ready to use it, it really forces people to turn around and fight with you, Mocheng can't afford this price.

On the contrary, the appearance of these deserters drove more people to flee, and the bows and crossbows continued to shoot, Xiahou Yuan saw that the general trend was gone, and he did not want to entangle with Wei Yue anymore, and under the desperate protection of his own guards, he fought his way out of the encirclement and went straight to the direction of Jiangling.

The Cao army camp in the distance has turned into a sea of fire, the thick black smoke column is like a low-altitude dark cloud, the choking smell has come, on the field west of Mocheng, the tragic scene of dark red blood and corpses intertwined continues to spread westward, Wei Yue took the men and horses to chase and kill, until Liu Yi's side began to sing gold, and only then did he reluctantly lead the troops to withdraw.

When Wei Yue returned, Liu Yi had already begun to organize people to bury or burn the corpses, and in that tragic picture, there were constantly groans, which were Cao Jun or Mocheng soldiers who had never died.

Wei Yue turned over and fell off the horse, asking the soldiers behind him to help clean up together, a Cao Jun with a broken leg suddenly reached out and grabbed Wei Yue's ankle, his face was already covered with blood, and he couldn't see his original appearance, only a pair of eyes, looking at Wei Yue with a little pleading.

Wei Yue took out the saber at his waist expressionlessly, and indifferently stabbed the sword into Cao Jun's body, the pleading in Cao Jun's eyes had turned into despair, his body twitched violently a few times, he fell weakly, and the hand holding his ankle was weakly released.

"The battle is over, why kill him?" Liu Yi, who came up, looked at Wei Yuedao with some unbearability.

"Bo Yuan, on the battlefield, there must be no kindness of a woman!" Wei Yue knew that Liu Yi didn't like to kill very much, glanced at the corpses on the ground, shook his head and said, "The families of the soldiers and soldiers of the Cao Army have been left behind, do you think you can surrender?" If they cannot be surrendered, what is the use of keeping them? ”

This is also one of the reasons why Cao Jun's soldiers can use their lives, their families are in the rear, if they become deserters or do not do their best in wartime, it is likely to harm their families.

Liu Yi can understand this truth, but maybe his understanding of the troubled times is not thorough enough, or maybe it is the reverence for life in his previous life in his bones that makes him unable to face up to the practice of treating life as a mustard like this.

"Let's see if there is anything to worry about, let's kill less if you can, the war is over." In the end, Liu Yi sighed, did not stop, but did not agree.

To let go of the enemy is to joke with one's own life, and the war is only the beginning, not the end, Liu Yi knows this, so he didn't stop it, but if he can immediately agree with this approach, he can't do it.

"Whoa!" Wei Yue nodded, this time he did not refuse.

Lu Lingqi came back with fifty people, her task was very important, Cao Jun's morale was directly dispersed because of the destruction of the rear, but the danger was the least, after all, although Liu Yi respected her choice, he didn't want her to take too many risks.

"It's up to the general, Lingqi, let's go back." Liu Yi was a little depressed, not only because he killed these Cao Jun, who had no ability to fight back, but also because he felt sorry for his own losses in this battle.

Killed 1,000 enemies, 800 self-losses, although this time successfully defeated Xiahou Yuan, but the sword and shield soldiers alone lost more than half, plus the battle damage of Wei Yue's men and horses, after this battle, the two schools shrank to about 1,200 people in the three divisions, maybe this battle damage is very rare compared to the results of the battle, but for Liu Yi, it is like a big stone pressed in his heart.

Lu Lingqi silently followed Liu Yi's side and didn't speak, she knew that Liu Yi was in a bad mood at the moment, but she knew that what Liu Yi needed now was not comfort, but quiet, there were some hurdles, she could only walk over by herself, she also had a similar experience, not everyone can ignore the killing at the beginning, on the contrary, there are very few people who can ignore the killing at the beginning, she had hatred as a driving force back then, so that hurdle passed quickly, as for whether Liu Yi could pass, no one could help him at this time.

"Although Xiahou is defeated." Walking around the city, walking from the west gate to the water village, Liu Yi sat next to the huge waterwheel, looked at the waterwheel that was slowly rotating under the drive of the waterwheel, and suddenly spoke: "But this matter, Cao Jun may not give up, and soon there will be more Cao Jun to kill, this Jingling will become the primary goal of Cao Jun's pacification of Jingzhou, and it will also become the gateway to Jiangxia." ”

I don't know why, when that low, hesitant and dazed mood passed, Liu Yi felt that his brain suddenly became very clear, that feeling was indescribable, but it made people feel like an epiphany or soul sublimation, and his emotions became very calm, as if nothing could make him fluctuate anymore.

Lu Lingqi sat beside Liu Yi, nodded silently, and still did not speak.

"I'm going to send someone to see Liu Bei, and ask him to come forward to help invite Liu Qi to resist Cao's army together, relying on us alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold Mocheng." Liu Yi looked at Lu Lingqi, this is a signal of full cooperation with Liu Bei, originally he thought that the three families would not be offended, but now it seems that sometimes, the choice of position is not centered on personal will, and before he has the ability to change the world, he can only learn to adapt to the world.

Lu Lingqi nodded and said, "Bo Yuan thinks it's right, so just do it, don't think of me." ”

As one of the people who talk about Mocheng today, Lu Lingqi can clearly feel the pressure, the pressure from Cao Jun, Mocheng is Liu Yi's hard work, and if you want to keep Mocheng, they are not enough, you must have allies, and Liu Bei and Liu Qi are the only ones who can be found at the moment, and they are also allies who have reason to help them.

"That's good." Liu Yi leaned his back against the wooden stake on the shore, stretched out his hand to grab Lu Lingqi's soft stake, let out a long breath, and looked at the huge waterway: "This is the catastrophe of Mocheng, and it is also my catastrophe, if this catastrophe can be passed, Lingqi is willing to marry me?" ”

"Such things...... Why do you have to ask me? Lu Lingqi's mask had been taken off, and at this moment, her face showed a little shyness, she lowered her head, looked at the river, and didn't dare to look at Liu Yi.

"This is a matter for you and me, so I naturally want to ask you." Liu Yi smiled: "If Lingqi is unwilling, Yi will not force it." ”

"Self-...... Lingqi is not unwilling, everything ...... Let Bo Yuan call the shots. ”

Looking at the beautiful side face under the sunset, Liu Yi's originally tired face showed a happy smile......
