Chapter Seventy-Three: The Pursuit

Now that Sun Jian has been defeated, he naturally wants to flee back to the camp, obtain grain and grass, and then collect some defeated soldiers, or continue to flee south, or continue to reorganize his troops and fight again. Sun Jian is a person who will not admit defeat lightly, and according to his character, he will most likely choose to fight again.

Therefore, the direction of Zhang Liao's cavalry pursuit did not have any trouble, and directly pointed to Sun Jian's Chinese army Dazhai, and along the way, Zhang Liao also commanded the men and horses to keep catching up with the defeated soldiers. The defeated army that was caught up had only two results, either surrender or be killed, the military situation was urgent, and there was no room for negotiation. So Zhang Liao, while devoting a part of his forces to guard the defeated soldiers, then led the main cavalry to continue the pursuit.

The decisive battle battlefield is not much away from Sun Jian's camp, that is, more than 20 miles away, although the cavalry fought for a day, both the soldiers and the horses were a little tired, but after the big victory, the fighting spirit was high, and when chasing and killing the enemy, it was particularly energetic.

The journey of more than 20 miles was completed in less than half an hour.

When Zhang Liao arrived not far from Sun Jian's army camp with his cavalry, Sun Jian led the defeated army that broke through the encirclement, and it was not long after he arrived at the camp, that is, the front and rear feet.

Seeing that the enemy had already pursued his own camp, Sun Jian immediately ordered the camp gate to be closed and began to prepare to snipe the enemy.

At this time, the defeated soldiers who had not yet entered the camp saw such a situation, they were also anxious, and their eyes were red-eyed, and they immediately attacked the gate of the camp of Sun Jian's army, and the defeated troops from all directions were surging towards the gate of the camp, and some people even climbed over the wooden fence to enter the camp, and the soldiers guarding the camp gate immediately began to block when they saw this.

Now these defeated troops are facing the imminent threat of death from the pursuers behind them, out of the instinct of survival, they don't care about anything, they directly pick up their weapons, impact the Chinese army camp, and the soldiers guarding the camp start to fight, Sun Jian ordered to kill anyone who dares to storm the walled gate, although many people were killed, but it still cannot be forbidden, and many defeated soldiers successfully rushed into the walled gate.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao immediately ordered an attack, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to charge while shouting: "Don't kill those who descend, put down your weapons, hold your head in your hands, kneel on the ground, lean to the side, and get out of the way." ”

If anyone stands in the way, kill them immediately.

Whether it is in reality, or in film and television dramas, no matter in what kind of war, or in various incredible situations, the four words "those who descend will not kill" will always play a very big role, and these four words will always serve as a guiding light to light up the road of life for countless people.

No one wants to die, and countless tenacious people have been awakened by the instinct to survive after hearing this sentence, and have turned to pursue that glimmer of hope of being alive. Survival is the pursuit of countless people, and it is insisted on by all kinds of people in various situations.

The defeated army in a hurry saw that there was no way ahead, and there were pursuers behind, in order to save their lives, they could only kneel on the ground, begging for surrender, and in an instant, there were countless people kneeling on the ground.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao commanded his subordinates to continue to attack forward, while killing those who dared to stop him. At this time, there were not many people who still wanted to resist, and most of them didn't want to die, so more and more people put down their weapons, knelt on the ground, held their heads in their hands, leaned over, and made way for Zhang Liao.

Now under the defeat, the people are panicked and at a loss, and Sun Jianjun has begun to be chaotic. The defeated soldiers who stormed the camp gate saw that the pursuers behind them were getting closer and closer, so they were even more crazy and frantically attacked the walled gate, and finally the walled gate was breached, and the defeated army rushed into the camp like a swarm.

People are crazy driven by the survival instinct, and there will always be a burst of power that surprises the **, the defeated army not only broke through the walled gate, but also almost all the wooden fences around the vicinity were knocked down, and the power of destroying miè is always amazing, and the hard-working Dazhai can't withstand the attack of its own people.

Zhang Liao saw that the defeated soldiers had opened the gate of the village for themselves to facilitate their own entry, so he was also unceremonious, and immediately ordered his subordinates to follow behind the defeated army and attack the village, still shouting the slogan of "surrender and not killing", and still mercilessly kill those who dared to resist him.

Sun Jian led the defeated army, and just entered Dazhai, and before he had time to catch his breath, the enemy's pursuers had already arrived. Seeing this, Sun Jian couldn't care about any food and grass, so it was important to run for his life! So he immediately left Dazhai with a small number of people from the back door of Dazhai, and then arranged for some people to stay behind for him.

Zhang Liao and his men and horses originally wanted to continue the pursuit, but the broken men and horses left by Sun Jian were also relatively tenacious, and after Zhang Liao broke the opponent, the sky was almost completely dark, and it was impossible to continue the pursuit.

Since it was impossible to pursue, Zhang Liao was not reluctant, so he simply commanded his subordinates to begin to collect and surrender troops and count the captured grain and grass. At the same time, the rangers were sent back to inform Dong Shouye of the results of the pursuit, and then another signal was issued.

After arranging this qiē, Zhang Liao finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to command his soldiers and surrender troops, clean up the battlefield, and bury the corpses. Originally, according to the previous practice, the burial of corpses was to bury one's own corpse, and the corpses of the enemy were generally ignored and left to the wilderness.

However, Dong Shouye asked his generals to bury the opponent's corpse if they defeated the opponent, first, to show respect for the dead, second, to avoid the outbreak of large-scale infectious diseases such as plague, and third, to let the surrendered soldiers bury their dead comrades, and the robes of their dead comrades-in-arms can also appease the surrendered troops on a certain course, or the goodwill and recognition of the surrendered troops.

The Chinese attach the most importance to the return of fallen leaves to their roots and the return of their souls to their homeland.

It is impossible to return the souls of the fallen soldiers to their homeland on the battlefield, but burying the corpses and burying them under the loess is a kind of respect for the dead and the greatest comfort to the living.

As the so-called catastrophe must be followed by a great plague, there were many times in ancient China after the great war, ignoring the dead corpses, leaving them in the wilderness, and then a large-scale plague occurred, many people superstitiously said that it was the punishment of God, in fact, it was caused by improper disposal of the corpse.

Now that Dong Shouye has become a person of this era, this fact cannot be changed, as a traverser who still has a little conscience, Dong Shouye has always wanted to do something for this era and this nation, at least within his ability.

Burying the opponent's corpse is a trivial matter in Dong Shouye's eyes. After all, you don't have to do it yourself, and you don't even have to do it yourself, you just need to command the soldiers to do these things, and this will not only not provoke the disgust of the soldiers, but will make it easier to get the approval of the soldiers. Isn't that a good thing?
