Chapter 393: After the War
Looking at the collapsed pontoon bridge in amazement, Sun Chuanting's face was full of astonishment, this is not a good thing. Naturally, he was not worried that the Ming army on the opposite side would be defeated, he was worried that his people would cross the bridge. When the battle is over, it becomes a problem for your people to cross the bridge.
didn't have time to think about it, Sun Chuanting still held the binoculars and looked at the opposite side, at this time, the battle there had reached the most critical moment. As long as the enemy shows signs of defeat, your side can win.
Wielding the big knife in his hand, Zhou Shen cut down a rebel with a knife, and stared at An Bangyan not far away. At this time, General Zhou's body was full of blood, and he didn't know if it was someone else's or his own, but he didn't care at all.
Looking around, General Zhou found that there were many fewer soldiers around him, and they were obviously killed. But he didn't think much about it, fighting a war would definitely kill people, and now he must resist it, otherwise the people on his side will almost die.
Raising the big knife in his hand high, General Zhou shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me!" Kill the leader of the rebels, reward 10,000 taels of silver, and promote the official to three levels! As he spoke, he urged the horse under his crotch, waved the big knife in his hand, and then rushed forward.
The ginseng generals behind General Zhou were not to be outdone, and they all rushed forward violently, with a hint of determination on their faces. They knew that if they couldn't rush over, they would probably die here.
Taking off the bow and arrow on his back, An Bangyan had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, the general who rushed to the front seemed to kill the leader, and he must be killed. Pulling the bow and arrow away, An Bangyan aimed at General Zhou, and with the sound of the bowstring, the feather arrow suddenly flew towards General Zhou.
Hearing the sound of the bowstring, General Zhou was shocked, and he kept looking at An Bangyan again. At the moment when An Bangyan stretched his bow and set up his arrows. He had already seen it, and when he heard the sound of the bowstring, General Zhou's body tilted to the right, and the whole person hung headfirst on the horse's body.
He took off his bow from behind and drew a feather arrow, and General Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly. He was waiting for this moment. If he took out an arrow and shot it directly at An Bangyan, he would definitely be on guard, and now is a good opportunity.
The feather arrow flew over General Zhou's thigh, and suddenly brought up a line of blood, General Zhou's brows frowned slightly, but his body did not move at all. At this moment, he suddenly let go of his hand, and the feather arrow quickly flew towards An Bangyan.
Bored, he put down the bow in his hand and saw the posture of General Zhou. An Bangyan knew that his arrow must have missed. Since there is a defense, it is impossible to do it again, An Bangyan's face is full of disappointment.
But before he could react, he saw a little cold light flying over from the opposite side, and he was suddenly shocked. But before he could react, the feather arrow pierced his throat at once, and blood splattered.
Looking down at the feather arrow stuck in his throat, An Bangyan's face was full of disbelief. The unwilling light in his eyes quickly faded, and his body shook back and forth a few times before falling.
Counselor Zhou's body turned over to the horse. looked in the direction of An Bangyan, and then there was a stunned face. He didn't expect it to go so well, but then he showed a look of ecstasy, brandished the big knife in his hand and shouted: "The leader of the rebels has been killed, and the rest of the people surrender as soon as possible!" ”
The Ming army all looked at General Zhou, and then turned their eyes to Extravagant Chongming. Seeing that Yu Chongming fell to the ground, the guard seemed to be helping him up, and he was suddenly overjoyed. While killing the enemy, he shouted loudly, and for a while there were shouts everywhere, and he began to say something. In the end, it directly became surrender and not killing.
The rebels were also inexplicable at first, and the generals loudly restrained their subordinates, shouting loudly that it was a conspiracy of the Ming army. It's fine to be farther away, but the rebels who are close can see it themselves! An Bangyan, who had just been sitting on the horse, had now rolled down to the horse. Some people had sharp eyes and saw An Bangyan with a feather arrow stuck in his neck.
"The king is dead!" Looking at this scene in disbelief, the rebels all looked at this scene in a daze, the news spread very quickly, and soon both the rebels and the Ming army knew that An Bangyan was dead.
The morale of the Ming army suddenly soared, and the morale of the rebels became extremely low. With the first, there was the second, and soon the great rout of the battlefield began, and no one cared about anyone, just ran in the direction from which they came.
Sitting on the horse, Yu Chongming looked helpless, with a very strong resentment in his eyes, and blushed and shouted at them to come back, but to no avail. These people are all soldiers of the Yi nationality, and Yu Chongming is the patriarch of the Miao nationality, who will take care of him!
An Wei on the side is also constantly shouting, but it is also useless, An Bangyan has always been in power, and these people have long been used to not listening to An Wei. At this time, everyone was in a hurry to run for their lives, who had the heart to listen to their nonsense there.
The generals of the Ming army were immediately overjoyed, and led their men and horses to rush up, their goal was very obvious, that is, the place where An Wei and An Bangyan were. At a glance, you can see that this place is full of rebel heads, and if you catch one, you can also be promoted and make a fortune, and no one cares about the other pawns!
Luxury Chongming kept complaining in his heart, but his face seemed much calmer, and as soon as he pulled the reins of the horse in place, he said loudly: "Let's go, it's too dangerous here!" ”
The two of them didn't care so much, and ran down in the direction of Dafang City under the cover of a group of guards.
Naturally, it was impossible for the Ming army to let them run away like this, and General Zhou took the lead and chased after them. The soldiers of the Ming army followed behind, all of them had eager expressions on their faces, chasing and shouting.
The chase did not last long, and after the Ming army discovered the large camp in the valley, the attention was immediately attracted. Looking at An Wei and the others who were gone, General Zhou knew that he couldn't catch up, so he prepared to attack the camp in front of him, there must be a lot of grain and grass in it. If the Ming army gets it, it will definitely be like a tiger, and it will not need to tie its own supply line.
"General Zhou, there is no need to attack this camp, I see that there is no one here!" A general came to the door of General Zhou with a smile on his face and a hint of compliment.
After laughing a few times, Zhou Shenjiang's face bloomed with joy, this time he shot the enemy chieftain, although he failed to capture him alive, this credit is not small. The reward must be very generous, and his status in the army will definitely be much higher.
Looking at the camp tent in front of him, General Zhou's face was like a flower, but he still said seriously: "It's better to be careful, this is an enemy camp after all!" As he spoke, he beckoned to a few people behind him, apparently discussing with them.
It was already the morning of the next day when Sun Chuanting crossed the Chishui, and the things on the shore had been almost done. The bodies were buried, the celebrations were carried out in a heavy manner, everything was in order.
Looking at the few generals standing in front of him, Sun Chuanting was slightly excited, walked to General Zhou's side, and patted his shoulder. After a long time, Sun Chuanting said with emotion: "General Zhou, you did a good job!" Killing the enemy chieftain, this time the credit is great. Shuai will definitely write like the emperor and ask for credit for you! ”
"Xie Dashuai cultivates, and he is grateful!" made a big salute to Sun Chuanting, and General Zhou said in an unusually respectful tone.
Nodding slowly, Sun Chuanting nodded with satisfaction, and said with a serious expression: "Have the casualties been counted this time?" ”
"Back to Dashuai, the statistics are out! This time our army lost 6,432 killed, 1,764 seriously wounded, and the rest were all lightly wounded! Humble duty refers to mistakes, resulting in heavy losses to the army, humble duty and implor the commander to punish! General Zhou said this, his face was extremely sad and angry, and his lips were trembling.
Hearing this number, Sun Chuanting's body shook violently, if he hadn't been held up, he would probably have fallen here.
The whole army was wounded, with more than 6,000 casualties and nearly 2,000 serious wounded. Sun Chuanting knew that his army was half-disabled, and the army that could fight now was estimated to be 10,000 people, most of whom were still wounded, and then these people had no combat power.
"Write down the list of fallen soldiers, cremate all the bodies, and take them to the capital!" Sun Chuanting sat on the side with the help of others, his face was full of pain, and it was extremely difficult to speak.
"My lord, we have set up camp in the valley ahead, you can go there and rest!" Everyone hurriedly comforted Sun Chuanting, and they were also quite worried in their hearts, Dashuai must not have anything to do!
With a gentle wave of his hand, Sun Chuanting glanced at General Zhou on the ground, and said with a serious face: "Zhou Dexing, get up!" You can't be blamed for the incident, the casualties are already large, after all, we are facing a rebel army several times our size. How many enemies do we kill? If it's too little, it won't look good.
Seeing that Sun Chuanting had no intention of blaming, General Zhou quickly stood up and said in a respectful tone: "Back to Dashuai, this time we killed more than 20,000 rebels and captured more than 30,000 prisoners. ”
Sun Chuanting was stunned again, he believed that he had killed more than 20,000 people, after all, the artillery in front of him had also killed many people, why had more than 30,000 people been captured now? How did you get these people? However, Sun Chuanting did not doubt the truth of the news, and Zhou Dexing did not dare to lie to himself.
But these captives are not easy to handle, they can't be killed, and they can't be released! With a wave of his hand, Sun Chuanting ordered: "Let everyone set up camp, we won't leave!" The whole army is here to recuperate from its wounds, when will it be recuperated, when will we go to war! ”
"Dashuai, this can't be done! Now if you don't take advantage of the victory, it will be bad once the rebels recover. Zhou Dexing's face suddenly showed an anxious look, and his tone was quite eager.
"You! It's just salty and don't worry about eating radishes, Da Shuai is confident, you just have to be obedient! Sun Chuanting hadn't spoken yet, and one of the generals on the side couldn't help but say. (To be continued......)
ps: I worked overtime on the first day of the month, which was really helpless! I came back at eight o'clock, ate something, and wrote another one! There is only one today, so I'm sorry for everyone! Make up for it tomorrow, and make it up for sure! The pond is sudden!
