Guo Tingwei gritted his teeth and walked quickly, he was already sweating profusely, they didn't have time to remove Liu Xin's armor before, and the dozens of catties of armor plus Liu Xin's weight made it doubly difficult for the mountain road to enter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info went up another hill, and an exclamation came from beside him, "General Guo, look at the camp!" ”

Guo Tingshu looked back and saw the fire spreading in the camp. He didn't stop, and he couldn't care about what the scene in the camp was.

Zhao Hongyin led the people to chase along the mountain line, and the speed was very fast, and the Wu army in front of them was routed, screaming and being slashed one after another - more people were forced to dive to both sides of the mountain, and countless people slipped and fell.

Guo Tingwei had long expected that this would be the result, but there was no way to do it, once the army began to break and flee, there would be no power to fight back.

"Don't kill those who give way!" When Guo Tingwei was in turmoil, he heard the shouts of the Tang army behind him, which made his heart tremble.

The soldiers of the Wu army on the mountain line either knelt on the ground or fell to the sides of the mountain, and made way for the Tang army. Some soldiers saw that the Tang army was coming, and the surrounding companions were still fleeing in panic, so in order to avoid being hacked to death by random knives, they hurriedly pushed their companions down the mountain to make way for the Tang army.

Guo Tingwei gritted his teeth and ran forward, the mountain bags in front of him one after another, as if there was no end, he had never felt that the mountain road was so difficult to walk, and he had never felt that the defeat was so humiliating.

The more realistic problem is that if the Tang army is allowed to chase and kill all the way, they will definitely be caught up, and I am afraid that no one will be able to leave at that time.

"General Guo, you go first!"

Suddenly, Liu Xin's personal soldiers all shouted at Guo Tingwei, and then stopped with his subordinates.

Guo Tingyu turned around in astonishment, looking at these men with blood stains and resolute eyes, his eyes suddenly turned red.

"General Liu, please ask General Guo!" The personal soldiers who were members of Liu Xin's clan all clenched their fists slightly, said in a muffled voice, and then said no more, turned around with their subordinates, and rushed towards the Tang army.

"Liu Dutou!" Guo Ting's heart was like a knife, but he also knew that there was no delay at this time, so he could only lead the rest of the people to continue to escape.

Halfway through, I saw that the Wu army in front of Tushan had been defeated and retreated, most of them were caught by the elite cavalry of the Hundred Battles Army, and were chased and killed by the foot soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army, and only a small part rushed out.

"General Guo, the Tang army is rushing to the building!" A soldier pointed to the west and shouted, and there, a hundred battle troops were rushing onto the building boat docked on the shore.

When Guo Tingwei looked back at the Yuanwanglou ship, he happened to see Liu Xin's own soldiers fighting to the death with the chasing soldiers of the Hundred Battles Army, and the other side was outnumbered, they were killed one after another, rolling down the hillside, but none of them retreated.

"What a good son!" Guo Tingwei's eyes were hazy, and he continued to hurry with Liu Xin, who was unconscious, on his back.

The battlefield under the mountain was very chaotic, the soldiers of the Wu army ran and fought, but the pursuit and killing of the hundred battle troops were very orderly, scattering the Wu army into pieces, so that the Wu army could not gather.

After finally descending the mountain, Guo Tingwei and others mixed into a rout and fled to the east along the Huaishui. On the way, he encountered a soldier of the Wu army riding a horse and grabbed it, Guo Tingwei rode a war horse, tied Liu Xin behind his back, and was escorted by his own soldiers, retreating in the panicked group of soldiers.

This walk, until it was dark, there were fewer hundred battles behind him. In the middle of the night, there were almost no pursuers behind him, Guo Tingwei dismounted, and helped Liu Xin down with everyone to rest temporarily.

Liu Xin's face was bloodless, his lips were black, and his consciousness was very blurred, the appearance of the other party made Guo Ting, who already respected him, feel like a knife, and he yelled at the surrounding soldiers: "Water, bring water!" ”

The soldiers made a noise, and finally found the water bladder and handed it over, Guo Tingwei carefully fed Liu Xin, but the other party didn't swallow two mouthfuls, and suddenly spit out a stream of blood, and then coughed non-stop.

After a long period of tossing, Liu Xin woke up slowly, opened his eyes and saw Guo Tingwei, hurriedly grabbed his arm, and asked eagerly: "How is the battle going?" Can our army defeat the main formation of the Hundred Battles Army? Did the Tang army retreat? How much has the army captured? ”

Everyone bowed their heads in shame, and the surroundings fell silent. Seeing this situation, Liu Xin struggled to get up, and when he saw the appearance of the rout on the left and right, and figured out where he was, he was stunned, and the sadness, despair, and self-blame in his eyes were so thick that they were about to overflow.

"General Liu, although the army has lost, but the casualties of the Tang army are not small, I hope that the general will take care ......of his health and plan for the long term," Guo Tingwei said with tears.

"20,000 soldiers, take advantage of the favorable situation, attack 10,000 enemies and defeat them all!" Liu Xin covered his sunken breastplate, shook his steps, and looked up at the sky, "God doesn't bless me Da Wuhu?!" A mouthful of blood spurted out.

"General!"

"General......

"General, don't be like this!" Guo Tingwei held Guo Tingwei and sobbed sideways.

Liu Xin stood firm and looked left and right, "Where is Liu Shengqian?" ”

Liu Dutou ...... In order to break the army, he died in battle......" Guo Tingwei was apologetic and his voice was like a mosquito and a fly.

Liu Xin opened his mouth, his face was gray, and his eyes seemed to have lost focus, "I died in battle...... He has the talent of a general, and he may not be able to become a pillar of the country in the future, but it is a pity that he ...... Hateful! ”

Liu Xin, who was already looking sluggish, suddenly pulled out Guo Ting's saber and held it in front of his throat, which immediately shocked everyone, and the scene was chaotic.

"The matter has come to this, there is no face, Liu Xin will go!" Liu Xin faced the south, old tears, and after saying the twelve words of pathos, he immediately killed himself!

"General!"

"General Liu......"

Guo Tingwei knelt on the ground in despair, slowly picked up Liu Xin's corpse, lost his mind for a long time, and suddenly looked up to the sky and howled in pain, tearing his heart and lungs.

......

After dawn, the Hundred Battles Army began to clean up the battlefield.

Zhao Hongyin said beside Meng Ping: "Liu Xin is in a hurry, and after his cronies are dead, the last general failed to capture him, and I hope that the general will punish him!" ”

Meng Ping waved his hand, "The general's strength to break the camp is for great merit, what is the crime?" As for Liu Xin, it is good to kill him, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation if he is not killed. ”

An Chongrong said hesitantly: "Then Liu Xin was rescued after eating a hammer from the last general, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to pick up a life." ”

Meng Ping bowed his head and said: "If Liu Xin really dies, you have a great merit!" ”

An Chongrong said happily: "Thank you, General!" ”

Zhao Hongyin lost Liu Xin, Meng Ping said that it had nothing to do with the overall situation, because he understood Zhao Hongyin's hard work, An Chongrong was seriously injured in the battle array, Meng Ping said that there should be great merit, in recognition of his courage to fight. These two seem to be contradictory, but in fact there is no conflict, the law of governing the army, can understand the hard work of the soldiers, the soldiers are willing to fight again, can commend those who dare to charge into battle, challenge the enemy generals, and the soldiers can be more heroic.

Meng Ping finished inspecting the battlefield and came to the bank of Huaishui.

The Tang Army's naval divisions are not strong, the building ships are scarce, and the limited naval divisions are concentrated in Jiangling, and there are some on the big river, but there are basically no Huaishui here. Yesterday's battle, when the battle situation was decided, Meng Ping asked people to seize the ship, although it was not all gained, so that the Wu army sailors went away part of it and destroyed part of it, but it also got nearly half, and there were three or four hundred ships in size.

Ding Mao, who grabbed the boat, saw Meng Ping coming, and hurriedly got off the boat to greet him, and when he took Meng Ping on the boat to inspect, Ding Mao held the side of the boat and said proudly: "With these building ships, our army will no longer be afraid of the enemy sailors in the lower reaches of the Huaishui. ”

Meng Ping was not so optimistic, "Getting this building ship is certainly beneficial to the layout of the battle situation of the army, but the training of the sailors is not the work of ten days, after all, the Huainan Sailors have been trained for a long time, and it is not easy for our army to win." ”

He originally intended to intercept all the ships brought by Liu Xin, so that the army would completely take the initiative in the downstream. However, the generals of the Wu Army's naval division were not mediocre people, and in the case of the defeat of the army, they were still able to stabilize the hearts of the people and fled with some of the buildings. With this part of the building ship here, the downstream of Huaishui will not be able to ship to Chengke.

Looking at Tu Mountain on the building boat, Meng Ping continued: "Liu Xin went west, if he hadn't stayed in Tu Mountain, set up camp on the mountain, and saw me go east and didn't flee the ship early, and fought with our army, we would have no choice but to do it. But it is not surprising that he was defeated in battle with our army's infantry and cavalry. However, in the end, Yang Wu Shuishi is strong, and it is not easy for him to cross the river in the south. ”

After hearing Meng Ping's words, the generals had different reactions, some felt that Meng Ping was thinking about the long term, and some thought that Meng Ping was worried, after all, it was far from the time of the general Nandu.

Zhao Hongyin said at this time: "The general sees the near and thinks far, and it seems that he has a long scroll in his chest. There is an overall situation in mind, which is a must-have talent for handsome. Today, our army has such a great victory, and it may not be that the general will not be in command when he crosses the river in the south in Japan. ”

When the generals heard this, they woke up one after another.

According to the intention of the imperial court, the authority of the commanders of each capital will be reduced, and they will be replaced by five important official positions: Du Yuhou, deputy commander, commander, deputy commander, deputy commander, and all check, because Li Congzhang's department did not return to the court, the reorganization has not been completed. Gao Congzhou, Huang Fulin, Wang Sitong, Meng Ping, Li Congzhang and others, how to sit in the right seats remains to be studied.

Meng Ping has the victory of Xuanwu County in Liangchuan, and today there is a great victory in Tushan, and the reward for meritorious deeds in Japan may not be able to become the most prominent position of the capital inspection, if so, in the case of the imperial court forbidden army divided into two major systems of the palace front army and the guard army, the king of the Yangtze River will cross the Yangtze River in the south in the future, and it is very likely that Meng Ping is the commander.

The battlefield is the most shought-after achievement for aspiring men, and the destruction of the army is the most prominent glory in the life of the general.

"As a general, it is necessary to have the overall situation in mind, not only the original, but also you." Meng Ping didn't have any smug looks, he was still restrained and modest, "As for other things, Your Majesty and His Royal Highness have their own plans, how can we discuss it in vain?" ”

The generals bowed their heads and said yes.

Including Li Congke, the king of Lu, and Li Congyi, the king of Xu who was born in the Tiancheng period, there are five kings in the country, all of whom must be called His Royal Highness. Meng Fangcai did not say which His Highness it was, but whether it was him or the generals, they all knew who His Highness was referring to.

Only that king is their loyal highness.

Around noon, the results and losses were counted and sent to Meng Ping by the military envoys.

In yesterday's battle, more than 3,000 enemies were killed, more than 10,000 prisoners were captured, and 381 ships were captured, and countless bows and crossbows were slashed and armored. The total casualties of the 100 battle troops were more than 1,000, of which less than 300 were killed.

The wounded can be treated in a timely manner under the effective medical treatment system of the Hundred Battles Army, and they are seriously injured, and the possibility of recovery is also very high.

In a word, the gains are very good, and the efforts are very small.

This is the case with cold weapon battles, because of the relationship between armor, except for individual tragic battles, there are actually very few soldiers killed in the battle array, and the casualties are caused by the large-scale cover-up of one side to the other after the battle situation is settled.

"After this battle, there will be no major threat to the left flank of the Wang Division." Meng Ping read the war report, returned it to the military envoy, "Hurry up and submit the war report to His Highness." ”

"Order!"
