At the same time as Ruan Dacheng and Ruan Dasima went north, Zhou Huchen was heading west, because Duoduo's direction of escape was westward.

As far as the eye could see, there were captives everywhere, and these captives were quiet, for they had no strength left to be hungry.

Zhou Huchen's side was naturally indispensable to Shi Kefa, Wei Yinwen and Ye Yinzhi, but the situation along the road made Shi Kefa and others very dissatisfied with Zhou Huchen, because Zhou Huchen's soldiers were killing prisoners and screening and slaughtering prisoners of war.

These prisoners of war did not have the slightest resistance, they were numbly selected by Zhou Huchen's soldiers, and then directly pulled aside and stabbed to death with guns. Shi Kefa could clearly see the blood spurting out of the spur as it was pulled out, and the soldiers who slaughtered the prisoners of war were obviously new recruits, their faces were a little pale, and the hands that grabbed the fire guns were unstable.

Shi Kefa finally stopped being patient: "Xiaohu, what's going on?" ”

"Lord Overseer, it is not said that the heavens have the virtue of a good life, these people who are not of our race will have different hearts, and keeping these foreign soldiers is a waste of food. How many of our fighters have they killed over the years? How many civilians were slaughtered? How much property was plundered? How many families have been ruined? Aren't they the ones who have caused my life to be miserable? Shouldn't these alien soldiers be killed? Shouldn't those who aid the rebellion be killed? Zhou Huchen issued a series of questions, which were justified.

Shi Kefa shook his head gently: "The life and death of these prisoners of war should be decided by the imperial court, Xiaohu is overstepping his authority!" ”

In fact, what Shi Kefa means is that you can kill, don't be so blatant, okay?

This is the rule set by Zhou Huchen, and no one dares to violate this rule except for Zhou Yuji and Zhou Huchen's orders. Jiannu will bear the brunt, and none of the Mongols, Koreans, and the Eight Banners Han Army will remain, only the newly attached Han Army will remain, but these people will have to be screened later. Those who did a lot of evil, Zhou Huchen will be disposed of later. This is not revenge, but an inevitability, it is not a virtue to keep the enemy, Zhou Huchen has always believed that only the dead enemy will be free from threat, these hardcore Jiannu soldiers must be killed, and those who help the rebels must be punished.

Of course, Zhou Huchen would not tell Shi Kefa that this was his own rule, but he had a way to push the responsibility out: "This seems to be what the father meant, or the boy will send someone to chase after the father and let the father order to stop killing the prisoners." ”

Was this helpful? Zhou Yuji still doesn't know how far he ran out? It's to send someone to catch up and come back. These people who want to kill have already been killed.

Shi Kefa understands this truth, but he also understands that Zhou Huchen is pushing and putting the responsibility on Zhou Yuji, but what can Shi Kefa do? With this victory, Zhou Yuji will become the pillar of the imperial court, and it is too late for the imperial court to add an official to him, who will embarrass Zhou Yuji's father and son for the prisoners of war?

Zhou Yuji, who was used as a shield by Zhou Huchen, did run far away, and he was not far from Fengyang County.

Liu Qi and Zhou Yuji happened to walk a meeting and saw Zhou Yuji. Liu Qi got off the horse and took the golden helmet and began to show off: "Dashuai, this is the battle helmet of Prince Yu of the Qing Dynasty and the general of Dingguo!" Look at it, it's real gold! It's worth a lot of money! I sold it when I got back. Give the family some good clothes. ”

According to military regulations, all seizures do not belong to individuals, everyone is watching, of course Liu Qi will not. didn't dare to take Duoduo's golden helmet as his own, Liu Qi was actually showing off his military exploits, and using this golden helmet to show that he had killed Duoduo.

Of course, Zhou Yuji understood that Liu Qi was purely joking. He smiled innocently: "Everyone has worked hard! Go back and get a reward! This golden helmet is going to be presented to the imperial court, don't even think about it! ”

This battle can be said to be painful, except for Zhou Yuji's side to leave some reserves, Liu Qi's cavalry almost the whole army was dispatched, and the full 10,000 cavalry lost more than 30%. Although the victory was brilliant, as the excitement slowly faded, Liu Qi's face slowly revealed sadness.

"Marshal, our cavalry has lost too much, and none of these brothers are of a bad race"

Zhou Yuji saw these casualties, and he also knew the tragedy of the battle and all the things that happened at the first time. Not long ago, the muddy water battle, this trench battle, together sacrificed more than 30,000 soldiers who dared to fight! Although the huge logistics capacity can continue to provide soldiers, these soldiers are all soldiers who have been tempered by blood and fire, they are Zhou Huchen's heart, how can they not be Zhou Yuji's heart! Every soldier has his own family and his own life, and single soldiers are a small number after all, what kind of trauma will their heroic martyrdom bring to these families!

On the whole, this army did not break its muscles and bones except for the cavalry, although it did not hurt its muscles and bones, but this fierce battle also brought huge losses to Zhou Yuji, not only lost these excellent soldiers, but also brought great pressure to his economy. More than 30,000 people have no less pension, these soldiers are almost equal to mercenaries, the cost of the pension is extremely high, plus the ammunition and various supplies consumed, it is too difficult to recover in a short time.

This is not the end, Zhou Yuji's pressure is very heavy, because with the fall of Duoduo, Zhou Yuji must go north to occupy the territory, but not too north, because Huguang has another way to build a slave, and Zhou Yuji can't let another way build a slave to copy his back road. If the imperial court asked him to go to Huguang, Zhou Yuji would not hesitate, and if the army went north to regain the lost territory, Zhou Yuji would not refuse either. As for the detailed progress action, Zhou Yuji had to wait for the orders of the imperial court.

In addition to considering logistics and future operations, Zhou Yuji must go to Nanjing to summon the pair, in addition to summoning Zhou Yuji to offer prisoners, now that there is no prisoner of Jiannu, Zhou Yuji can take Duoduo's golden helmet and head and the heads of those senior Jiannu generals to Nanjing to offer victory. These things are complicated, and Zhou Yuji can't get rid of them.

With Duoduo's head, Zhou Yuji led the large army to begin to retreat, and just after walking a short distance, the scout came to report, and Xu Dingguo, who ran away, was sent back, this old guy who has always been very good at seeing the momentum miscalculated this time.

It was Xu Dingguo's head that was sent back, and one of his lieutenants cut off Xu Dingguo's head and then ran back and surrendered.

At that time, Xu Dingguo, who was abandoned, saw that Duoduo had just left with his team, and he immediately began to run west like a lost dog. Fortunately, I am quite familiar with this area, this run is thirty miles, and when I saw a small river, more than 300 people who were thirsty and tired immediately pounced on it.

Xu Dingguo was also very thirsty, and after he got off the horse, he ran directly to the river. But before Xu Dingguo leaned over to take a sip of water, the general behind him had already made preparations, and it was directly a knife. In this way, Xu Dingguo's descendants killed Xu Dingguo in order to find a way to survive for themselves. (To be continued......)
