The smell in the river breeze became extremely complex, with the smell of fireworks, the smell of burning, the smell of blood, the smell of fish, and the smell that people could not recognize.

The battlefield after the war was extremely bloody and messy, even Zhang Hao, who had gradually become accustomed to the cruelty of this era, couldn't help frowning.

It was already evening, and the decisive battle came to an end. The winning side clearly belongs to Zhang Hao.

But the course of the war was still a little unexpected for Zhang Hao. At the beginning, under the attack of artillery, Chen Wenjun still mustered up the courage to attack, after all, after so many days, they were a little accustomed to artillery.

But after the appearance of similar ancient versions of grenades and ancient versions of rocket artillery, as well as ancient versions of incendiary bombs, Chen Wenjun still showed enough tenacity.

Although some of the enemy troops collapsed and fled directly at that time, they were suppressed, and most of the enemy troops still gritted their teeth and rushed desperately.

Zhang Hao also thought that when all these firearms appeared, the enemy army would collapse directly. Now that I think about it, the guards of the noble clan, who may occupy the main body of the enemy army, have been given a death order. Whether it's long-standing habits or their respective families, they all struggle to survive.

At that time, Zhang Hao was still a little nervous in his heart, but the subsequent development was a little unexpected.

Relying on the numerical advantage, paying a lot of lives, and forcibly breaking through the firearms blockade and engaging in close combat, Chen Wenjun finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Before, they thought that the cadres only relied on artillery and other weapons, and as long as they broke through the firearms blockade, they could defeat them.

But the results of the hand-to-hand battle made them desperate. Not to mention that the opponent's armor is excellent, the martial arts are extraordinary, and what is even more terrifying is that they are skilled in cooperating with each other.

Even with a certain numerical advantage, Chen Wenjun still couldn't resist. Add to that the constant rampant use of firearms.

Seeing the gap between the real and the imagined, Chen Wenjun finally collapsed. For the ancient army, the consequences of losing morale were terrible.

These enemy troops scattered and fled, and even broke the crumbling camp that had been ravaged by artillery fire. There were no surprises later, the captives pursued, the wounded were treated, and so on. Zhang Hao doesn't have to worry about this.

Walking in the camp, listening to the screams of pain from the prisoner camp, Zhang Hao shook his head. War is so brutal, especially after the advent of firearms, the injuries caused are even more horrific.

Fortunately, Zhang Hao got a large amount of wound medicine from modern times in advance, and trained enough ambulances in advance, believing that the mortality rate of the wounded will not be too high. These captives will also be Zhang Hao's people in the future, but they can't give up at will.

"My lord, here is the list of captured officials and generals." Ding Xuan came over and handed the list to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao didn't rush to see it, but continued to inspect the wounded barracks, the prisoners could not be ignored, but his wounded soldiers must be condoled.

Although the war went smoothly, the frontal decisive battle, coupled with the enemy's stubborn attack for a while, caused a lot of casualties among the cadres.

These people are Zhang Hao's foundation, even if he can't continue to be a soldier in the future, whether he returns to the local area, whether he becomes a local law enforcement officer or something else, these people will be Zhang Hao's loyal supporters. He naturally attaches great importance to it, and at the same time must clearly express this attention.

"Your Majesty, General Huang Zhong has captured Liyang." And there were also soldiers with heralds to bring news.

Zhang Hao was not surprised at all. Liyang is not far from the battlefield, and with the results of the battle here, whether it is the impact of deserters or the activity of 'smart people', it is a matter of course to take Liyang.

Not only Liyang, after this battle, the entire Yangzhou can be said to have been properly held by Zhang Hao.

After telling the wounded soldiers that the battalion general must treat and take care of the wounded soldiers, Zhang Hao led people directly to Liyang City.

Liyang City is governed by Yangzhou Prefecture, and the city is much more prosperous than the city in Jiangdong. However, it is conceivable that after the war, the whole city remained depressed and worried.

Zhang Hao and his entourage entered Liyang City, and many people noticed the Qianwang Banner with different expressions, but some ordinary people paid homage to Zhang Hao from time to time.

Seeing that the city was in order, Zhang Hao was satisfied, and always emphasized military rules and discipline, so that after occupying the city, a lot of unnecessary casualties were reduced, and the panic and anxiety could be calmed down as soon as possible, so that the people could return to their hearts faster.

In addition to these utilitarian ideas, as a modern person and a normal person, Zhang Hao himself does not like the cruel venting after the war.

Assassin's Mansion, Huang Zhong waited outside the door with the generals, and after the salute, the group walked into the Assassin's Mansion.

"Your Majesty, Chen Wen ran so fast that he didn't even enter the city. Now, although troops are sent to arrest him, it will soon be dark, so there is not enough certainty to catch him, the surrounding terrain is complicated, there are many mountains and rivers, and there are too many ways to escape. Huang Zhong said with some regret.

"It's okay, he can run, it's not about the overall situation." Zhang Hao didn't care much.

"And at this point, Chen Wen can't turn over at all, I think the most important thing he should think about now is how to deal with the court's investigation."

Now the soldiers in Yangzhou are all in vain, even if Chen Wen runs to other counties, there is no way to resist Zhang Hao's army.

Zhang Hao, the third brother of Liu Guan and Zhang, was a little concerned, but he didn't specifically ask. Thinking about it, with Liu's ability to run, he would have run away when he saw that the situation was not good. And Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's force is unlikely to be captured.

These three brothers have not yet had a stable development, and even if they do, it will only be a mustard disease.

The war had just ended, and all kinds of things were very cumbersome, and Zhang Hao had no spare time to deal with various matters.

Although Zhang Hao has always tried his best to delegate power, there are still a lot of things that he needs to deal with. By the time the rewards for the battle had been decided, it was already dark outside.

Zhang Hao lay in Xiaozhu's soft arms, enjoying the massage and pinching of Xiaozhu and Xiaocha, soothing his spirit. A pair of landlords and old wealth of corruption. Defeat.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, "Your Majesty, General Ling and Zhou Tai Jiang Qin are back, and they have captured Guan Yu." ”

Zhang Hao was a little surprised, could it be that the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang were separated?

Thinking of Guan Yu being captured, Zhang Hao felt a little weird. It seems that Guan Yu has a record of being captured in history, right? Hey, I didn't learn the essence of his eldest brother's battle for thousands of miles. Maybe he hasn't gotten the Red Rabbit Horse yet, and the other war horses are dragging Guan Erye back? Wicked pondering this.

After Xiaozhu and Xiaocha tidied up his clothes, Zhang Hao walked out of the inner room, came to the outer hall, and sat directly on the soft couch above.

knew that Guan Yu was extremely skilled, and he also knew that Ling Cao and the others would definitely have some arrangements. But Ding Xuan was still not at ease, and took his personal guards to protect Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao couldn't refuse Ding Xuan's kindness, not to mention that it was more appropriate. After all, it was Guan Yu, who knows if he will come out of the court to assassinate him.

Zhang Hao nodded, and Ding Xuan immediately passed the order. Soon, with a sound of footsteps, Guan Yu, who was tied up with a special cowhide with five flowers, was brought in by Ling Cao and a few people, and Ling Cao paid great attention to safety and stayed by Guan Yu's side.

It seems that Guan Erye has suffered a lot, Zhang Hao looked at Guan Yu and thought in his heart.

At this time, Guan Yu was very embarrassed, the originally mighty robe on his body was tattered, and even his beautiful beard seemed to have been burned by fire. The corners of the eyes and mouth are a little bruised. And there are not light injuries on his body, he walks with a little limp, and the wounds on his body are hastily bandaged, but obvious blood stains can be seen.

"Get on your knees."

Zhou Tai snorted, and wanted to overwhelm Guan Yu. Although Guan Yu didn't want to, his face was full of anger and grievance, but he was a little powerless to resist from exhaustion.

"Alright, Youping. It doesn't have to be that way. He's not much of a hero, but he's a fierce general. It doesn't have to be that way. Zhang Hao waved his hand.

"Why did the traitor insult me?" Guan Yu shouted angrily, obviously angry at Zhang Hao's evaluation.

Guan Erye usually boasts of righteousness, Bo Yuntian is loyal and unparalleled, and he is definitely a hero. Usually look at the Spring and Autumn Period, pursuing elegant wisdom, but now he is regarded by Zhang Hao as a martial artist, which makes the proud Guan Erye stand it.

Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and Ling Cao stared at Guan Yu from the side, if it weren't for Zhang Hao's expression, the three of them would probably have to teach Guan Yu a lesson again.
