Li Cunmiao's face was miserable, as if he hadn't heard it.

Li Shaorong had no choice but to say again: "The king, the last general deserves death, please surrender the king!" ”

Only then did Li Cunmiao react, and asked with some surprise: "What is your crime?" ”

He was shocked by the sudden rout of the army just now, and lost his mind for a while, but he didn't notice Li Shaorong's escape at the critical moment, and only thought that the latter was retreating by the rout, so he asked.

But Li Shaorong didn't know, he thought that Li Cunmiao was deliberately saying the opposite, and his face immediately became even more ashamed.

He pleaded in a loud voice: "Great king, the last general will return defeated, and his sin deserves death." But please look at the last general's past merits, give the last general 5,000 troops, the last general is willing to attack the enemy again, if he can't win, the last general is willing to die to apologize! ”

Li Cunmiao's eyes lit up, and his originally pale face suddenly regained some of his brilliance.

"That's right, although our army has suffered a heavy defeat, our cavalry is still there, and after the rout is gathered, as long as it is slightly integrated, it can continue to attack, and the enemy's reinforcements have not yet arrived, so it is too early to say defeat!"

There was a cavalry in the Jin army that had never been put into the battlefield, and first, the cavalry was more suitable for charging on the plains than for attacking fortifications; Second, Li Cunqiao must also leave part of his troops as a reserve army to deal with changes that may arise at any time.

Therefore, in the fierce battle of the night, even when the battle was at its most intense, Li Cunqiao did not use this cavalry, but left it in the rear camp.

This time, the Jin army was suddenly defeated, and the Wu army only expelled them to the bottom of the mountain and did not continue the pursuit, one of the important reasons for this was because the cavalry of the Jin army was still there, and they did not dare to chase too quickly.

In addition, the army that waded through the water from the back of the hill is still intact and is a new force when concentrated, so it may not be without the strength to fight.

With renewed hope in his heart, he immediately picked himself up and walked out of the camp to look at the soldiers who had just returned from fleeing for their lives from the hillside.

However, this look disappointed him.

I saw that the soldiers who were originally full of morale and looked radiant were sitting on the ground like defeated roosters at this time, their heads hung down, their eyes were dull, their weapons were thrown aside, and the armor and helmets on their bodies were also worn crookedly, making it hard to believe that these people in front of them were the elite of the Jin army that once swept all directions.

When Li Cunmiao's gaze swept over, all the soldiers either lowered their heads or turned their gazes elsewhere, none of them dared to meet his gaze, and no one was willing to stand up and ask for battle.

Li Cunmiao scolded loudly: "Stand up, do you still look like a strong soldier now?" Could it be that a single defeat has completely deprived you of fighting spirit? ”

Some of the soldiers stood up in twos and threes and straightened their armor, but there were still many people sitting on the ground and didn't seem to hear Li Cunqiao's words.

Li Cunmiao was even more annoyed when he saw it, and scolded loudly: "You bastards, stand up, didn't you hear the order? ”

At this moment, many soldiers all stood up and looked at him.

Li Cunmiao was annoyed in his heart, but he also knew that it was useless to be angry at this time, and he had to try to boost morale and launch a new attack as soon as possible.

He said in a deep voice: "We lost the battle just now, and were driven down the hillside by the enemy, and the front we captured in one night was lost in a quarter of an hour. It's a shame! It's a shame for each and every one of you, and of course a shame for loneliness! ”

"Since more than forty years ago, Gu's father raised an army, although he has experienced many defeats and even been completely wiped out, but something like this has never happened just now."

"Will you endure such a disgrace? Are you prepared to carry such a shame unto death? ”

"Fight back! We're not defeated yet, we still have hope! We were invincible in the past, and we must be invincible today. If there is anyone who wants to wash away the shame, stand up, and the Lone Club will personally lead you to fight back, and you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy army and capture Yang Wu alive! ”

Li Cunmiao did not make a long speech, and the method he adopted at this time was to use the shame of defeat to stimulate the blood and courage of all the soldiers.

If it is in peacetime, his hand can definitely play a role, because these soldiers in front of him are the most elite of the Jin army, they are arrogant and invincible, whether it is the army of each weak and small feudal town, or the army of Khitan, Houliang, and even the army of powerful forces such as Wu State, they don't pay attention to it.

In their opinion, only they are the strongest army in the world, and the other armies are just the difference between the "five scum" and the "nine scum".

Therefore, if it was in peacetime, Li Cunmiao would definitely be able to arouse the soldiers' desire to fight.

It's a pity that it didn't work out at this time, because the spirit of this army has been completely defeated.

At this time, in their hearts, there was no longer the kind of invincibility of the past, but there was a trace of fear of Wu Jun, feeling that Wu Jun might be truly invincible, at least for now, they could not win.

Therefore, although Li Cunmiao's efforts have reinvigorated some people and given them the desire to fight, more soldiers are even more ashamed.

When a person feels ashamed, if he is stimulated, then the other person may be able to cheer up and regain his fighting spirit; But it is also possible to completely sink and lose the fighting spirit completely.

Unfortunately, the Jin army in front of him is the latter situation.

Li Cunmiao's face became extremely ugly after seeing it, is the army in front of him still the army he is familiar with? Or is it the same army that was once invincible?

A deep sense of disappointment rose in his heart, and at the same time he was saddened by the reaction of the soldiers.

An army that has lost a battle is not terrible, what is terrible is that this army no longer feels shame, such an army, even if it can bully those weak enemies, but as long as it is against a strong enemy, they will show their original form.

Li Cunmiao's face was gloomy, and he was about to say something more, when Zhao Zaili on the side stood up.

"King, the soldiers are too tired after a night of fighting, do you think you should let them rest first before making plans?"

Suddenly, all kinds of different voices immediately appeared in the camp, which had been silent as a pool of stagnant water just now.

"Yes, my lord. It's not that the last general doesn't want to fight back, but the soldiers are too tired, so let's rest first. ”

"My lord, after a night of fighting, the soldiers have not eaten a drop of water, they are hungry and cold, and they urgently need to rest. He also asked the king to allow the soldiers to rest for a while. ”

"Please be gracious to the king, let the soldiers eat something and drink some hot water!"

……

There were pleas everywhere, lamentations everywhere, and the camp that was still very quiet just now was instantly like being in a busy city, which made Li Cunqiao feel even more sad when he heard it.

He knew very well that this was not the time to rest, because once he gave the order to rest, it would not be a matter of an hour or two; And now that the sky is already bright, and enemy reinforcements will arrive at any time, where is there time to rest at such a time?

However, as the so-called public anger is difficult to commit, no matter how anxious he is in his heart, no matter how much he hopes to launch a counterattack as soon as possible, he also understands at this time that if he continues to persecute it, it is difficult to say what the soldiers will do, and it is not even impossible to provoke a rebellion.

What's more, with the state of the army in front of them without fighting spirit and no heart, if they force them again, even if they return to the battlefield, they are likely to collapse again.

By that time, the army would be completely finished, and even if they didn't have to attack the enemy, they themselves would collapse.

Zhao Zaili even said on the side: "The king doesn't have to worry too much, where will the enemy reinforcements come so quickly?" Let's rest before attacking, it should be too late. ”

And Li Shaorong originally took the initiative to ask for war, and at this time he should have stood up to support Li Cunxuan, but when he saw the situation of the soldiers, he hesitated.

If he attacked with such an army, he was afraid that this would not be to wash away the shame, but to encounter greater shame.

So after hesitating for a moment, he finally chose not to say a word, and followed Li Cunmiao to silently watch the development of the situation in front of him.

In the end, seeing that all the soldiers did not support him, but asked for a break one by one, even Li Cunqiao could only sigh and ordered in a deep voice: "Since you insist on resting, how can Lone go against everyone's wishes?" I only hope that after you have rested, you can quickly cheer up, counterattack the enemy, and win in one fell swoop! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Suddenly, the soldiers cheered, which was completely different from the silence just now.

Seeing this situation, Li Cunmiao was even more disappointed in his heart, but he had no choice but to wave his hand and staggered away, with a blank look in his eyes.

Is there any hope for today's battle? When will enemy reinforcements arrive? What will happen next?

All this made him feel anxious, but he had no choice but to wait.

……

It was very different from the situation in the camp of the Jin army, but the Wu army on the hillside at this time was full of energy, smiling and full of excitement on their faces.

They had just launched a counter-charge against the enemy with the determination to die, and their hearts were full of tragedy, and they did not expect to be able to repel the enemy army, but they did not expect that the final outcome would be a great victory.

Such a scene is something they could never have dreamed of.

"King, we've won!"

"King, it's unbelievable that the enemy army has been defeated!"

……

When they saw Yang Wu patrolling back and forth, the soldiers all said to him excitedly.

Although Yang Wu was happy about this situation, he was not too excited, but his heart sank.

It can be said that the victory in this battle was achieved entirely by relying on the bloody struggle of the soldiers.

There were no fancy tricks, no tricks, it was all a fierce battle, and in the end they defeated the enemy army, but they also paid a heavy price.

When he sent out the army a day ago, there were 23,000 officers and men in the Chinese army under his leadership, but now only about 7,000 can still stand up, and more than half of the soldiers have fallen permanently.

What made him feel even more heartbroken was that Zhu Qianyou, a loyal and brave man, also fell.

Zhu Qianyou in history, as Wang Maozhang's deputy general, led the troops to Qingzhou with Wang Maozhang to rescue Wang Shifan, the envoy of Pinglu Jiedu, although the Huainan army won a great victory, but when the final retreat was pursued by the Liang army led by Yang Shihou, it could not get rid of.

At the critical time, it was Zhu Qianyou who took the initiative to stand up and lead the five hundred cavalry to break off, and finally bought time for the army to retreat, but all the five hundred people he led were killed, and none of them survived.

Now the situation is even more critical, if Zhu Qianyou had not taken the lead in shouting the slogan "Die here" and boosted morale with such a tragic charge, it would not have provoked the soldiers to launch a counterattack desperately.

And if the momentum of the Wu army's counterattack is slightly weaker and the momentum is slightly lower, then it is impossible for them to overwhelm the Jin army in one fell swoop, let alone make the Jin army turn around and flee in fright, and then completely collapse.

Therefore, Zhu Qianyou was able to win the battle just now, and Zhu Qianyou made great contributions.

It's a pity that such a loyal and brave general has fallen, and Yang Wu is naturally unhappy in his heart.

At this time, he was walking in the sea of blood in the corpse mountain, preparing to return to the place where Zhu Qianyou fell on the hillside to take a look, at this moment, Yang Yan shouted excitedly on the hillside: "Father, come quickly, General Zhu Qianyou is still alive!" ”

Yang Wu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and asked with an incredulous face, "What?" No way! ”

He saw Zhu Qianyou fall with six arrows in his body, how could he still be alive?

But at this time, not only Yang Yan said this, but several other guards who followed Yang Yan also said loudly: "King, it's true, General Zhu is seriously injured, but he is still alive!" ”

Yang Wu believed it, and he ran up the hillside, shouting loudly as he ran: "Military doctor! Come to the medics! ”

When I got to the hillside, I found that the military doctor had already arrived and was treating Zhu Qianyou's wounds.

There have always been many military doctors in the Wu army, especially the army led by him, there are many doctors in it, and many of them are even imperial doctors in the palace, and their medical skills are extremely high.

Seeing Yang Wu arrive, one of the healers explained: "King, General Zhu Qianyou has been seriously injured and is still in a coma at this time. ”

Yang Wu hurriedly asked, "Then how is his condition?" Will they survive? ”

"Please rest assured, General Zhu's injuries are not fatal, and the ministers will definitely be able to save him."

Yang Wu was surprised and delighted when he heard this, and asked with a puzzled face: "You said that his injuries were not fatal, so why did he fall unconscious?" ”

The healer explained: "King, General Zhu's injuries look very serious, but in fact, only the last of the six arrows is more dangerous, and it almost hurts to the point, as for the other five arrows, they are actually blocked by armor, and they are not deep in the flesh, but they are just flesh wounds." ”

Another doctor said: "Yes, in fact, the reason why General Zhu passed out was that there were too many injuries on his body, which led to excessive blood loss, and the other reason was that he was too tired. As long as the wound is bandaged and healed well, it should be fine. ”

Yang Wu was suddenly overjoyed, and what surprised him even more was that at this moment, a guard pointed to the distance and shouted: "Reinforcements, our reinforcements have arrived!" ”
