Chapter 1663: Breaking the Yu River

On the west bank of the Yu River, the soldiers of the Han army passed through the newly built pontoon bridge and rushed to the east bank.

The fighting on the east bank was over, and the ground was littered with mountains of dead bodies, blood flowing from the high to the low, converging into a canal and flowing into the river.

The Han elephants walked around, searching for the presence of the Jiangdong Army nearby, while the Han infantry crossing the river lifted the dead bodies on the ground and threw them into the pit that had just been dug.

Picking up the Jiangdong army that died in battle, the Han army did not throw the corpses into the river like the Jiangdong army did earlier.

Although most of the carcasses thrown into the river will be eaten by carnivorous fish, a small number will sink to the bottom of the river, decay and deteriorate, thus affecting the water quality of the river.

In the early years of Liu Wei's expedition, he gave an order to the Han army, no matter whether the war dead were enemies or me, when cleaning the battlefield, they must dig pits and bury them, so as not to make the nearby water source undrinkable, or cause the spread of the plague, causing the army and civilians to suffer for no reason.

"What the fuck want to throw these Jiangdong dogs into the river and feed the fish!" Carrying the corpse of a Jiangdong army, a Han soldier was still angry about the fact that the Jiangdong army had thrown the corpse of his companion into the river before, and scolded and scolded.

The Han army, who was carrying the corpse with him, pursed his lips and said to him: "Your Majesty has already made a will, but all those who die in battle must be buried." At most, throw them into a pit and fall harder! ”

As the army crossed the river, Zhuge Jun was looking into the distance, and overheard the two Han soldiers passing not far in front of him talking, smiled slightly, and gave a word of order to the soldiers behind him.

After getting Zhuge Jun's order, his own soldiers responded and quickly ran towards the soldiers of the Han army on the battlefield of reason.

"The general has an order, the corpse of the Jiangdong Army does not need to be buried immediately, it is thrown into the pit, and it can be burned first!" Standing among the soldiers of the Han army on the battlefield of reason, the pro-soldier shouted at the top of his voice.

Hearing the shouts of the soldiers, the soldiers of the Han army were stunned for a moment, but then they let out a burst of applause.

Mrs. Zhu Rong, who was standing next to Zhuge Jun, also heard this order.

Looking at Zhuge Jun with a stunned face, although Mrs. Zhurong did not ask, the expression on her face showed that she was very puzzled by this order.

Turning his head and glancing at Mrs. Zhu Rong, Zhuge Jun glanced at Meng Shu on the other side, and said with a faint smile: "The soldiers are angry about the Jiangdong Army throwing the corpses of our army into the river earlier, Your Majesty has a will, but if there is a fight, the bodies of the soldiers on both sides must be buried, if a certain order is given to them to throw the corpses into the river, it is a rebellion." A certain only ordered the burning of the corpse of the Jiangdong Army, and the soldiers also relieved the evil anger in their chests, and they did not disobey His Majesty's will! ”

Zhuge Jun's explanation made Mrs. Zhurong and Meng Shu immediately understand his intentions, and neither of them spoke, but nodded in agreement.

In a battle, the Jiangdong Army's resistance was extremely tenacious, and the corpses left on the battlefield were countless.

The soldiers of the Han army were still reasoning about the battlefield, and Zhuge Jun sent out scouts to investigate the movements of the Jiangdong Army, but one of them turned back.

Riding his horse and galloping to a place only a few steps away from Zhuge Jun, the scout restrained the war horse, turned over and jumped off the horse, ran to him quickly, hugged his fists and bowed to him and said: "General Qiyu, Zhuge Jin led the remnants of the Jiangdong Army and withdrew all the way to the east. ”
