Volume III Chapter 717

After three days of fierce fighting, everywhere in sight were stumps and broken arms, all of them were bloody and deformed corpses, people were simply no longer human here, just like animals, and the nerves of many Yan soldiers were on the verge of collapse.

The soldiers in front are fighting bloodily, and the back is burying pots and cooking.

The Yan army pays attention to the formation, and in the fierce battle, it can be replaced between the corps and the corps, so that the soldiers who are full of food can replace those who are drunk and hungry, but there is no formation on the side of the You army, and the soldiers who rushed to the front can't get down at all, if they want to get out of the battle, there are only two ways, either be killed by the enemy, or end the battle.

But the battle has been fought for three days, and I don't know how long it will be fought next, and the soldiers of the You army who are fighting in front will also drink and be hungry, in order to have the physical strength to continue fighting, in order to survive, they must eat and drink, but they are in the center of the battle, where can they find something to fill their stomachs?

At this time, the soldiers of the You Army made a move that made the Yan Army on the other side stunned and their scalps numb, and the people dismembered the corpses all over the battlefield into pieces, and then picked them up and gnawed them in a big mouthful, and then looked at those You Jun, their eyes were red, their faces were red, and even their teeth turned blood red, and people drank human blood, gnawed on human flesh, and held weapons in one hand, screaming indistinctly and continuing to pounce on Yan Jun.

In the eyes of the Yan people, who have always regarded themselves as the highest civilization, where is You Jun on the other side still human, a beast, a demon, and he doesn't look like a human anyway.

There were many Yan soldiers whose nerves were on the verge of collapse when they saw the terrifying scene of You soldiers eating people, and even You people pounced on Yan Ren like mad dogs, biting his throat and sucking his blood, his nerves completely collapsed, screaming and fleeing to the rear regardless of it.

Such a scene made Tao Yuanfeng, who was in the same camp as You Jun and was far away from the battlefield, feel creepy. shuddered, this is simply a devil army, if the Yan army at this time is replaced by the Jin army, I am afraid that it will also be like the current Yan army, scared away by the terrifying people in droves......

Supporting people is really a problem for raising tigers. If Nie Shu is really allowed to make his power bigger and stronger, in the future, Yan Guo will certainly be unlucky, but it will definitely become a big trouble for Jin Guo!

At this time, Tao Yuanfeng really had a sense of fear for Youren, which was a fear from the depths of his heart, and the fear he generated now also directly affected the attitude of the Jin State towards Nie Shu's forces later, of course. That's an afterword.

Seeing that the front army was in chaos and a large number of soldiers broke and fled, the commander of the Yan army reacted very quickly and immediately sent a war overseer army to stabilize the collapse of the front army.

Under the strong pressure of the Overseer Army, the front army of the Yan Army finally stabilized, and the people continued to fight against the You people on the opposite side.

For the Yan army, this battle can be described as the hardest nightmare of their lives.

The battle continued from the third day to the fifth. The fierce battle of five days and nights crippled the combat strength of Yan You's two armies. The casualties on both sides have been so high that it is difficult to count, and the center of the battlefield is full of corpses, and people are no longer standing on the ground fighting, but are completely fighting with corpses.

By now, there is not much left of even the tenacious willpower of the You people, and a considerable number of soldiers are so tired that they can't even pick up their weapons. He could only scuffle with the enemy on the opposite side with his bare hands, and even worse, he was so tired that he couldn't stand up, and sat next to the enemy, panting heavily. They looked at each other directly.

If the fight continues according to the current situation, the two sides can only have the same result in the end, and the jade is burned, and to this point, both sides are no longer winners, and they have lost in a mess.

In the end, it was the Yan army that took the lead in sending an envoy to make peace with You Jun.

Nie Shu did not insist this time, accepted the peace talks of the Yan army, and the two sides made a truce and retreated.

This protracted battle on the Wangxi Plain finally ended when Yan You's two armies were exhausted.

In this battle, the Seventh Legion of the Yan Army suffered all the casualties, the Eleventh and Seventeenth Legions suffered heavy losses, and the army of 200,000 people was finally left with more than 60,000 people.

As for the You army, the battle loss rate is similar to that of the Yan army, more than 200,000 people, and only 80,000 people were withdrawn in the end, it can be said that after the battle of the Wangxi Plain, the troops on both sides of Yan You were disabled, and there was no winner, but in the overall strategy, the Yan army was victorious, they withstood the offensive of the rebels and held Fantiao County, while the You army lost very badly, and was slapped back to Bainan County by others, and the strength was difficult to recover in a short period of time, and then for a long time can only bear the situation of passive beating.

The report of Nie Shu's battle with the Yan army in Fantiao County also quickly spread to Liuhe in the Jin Kingdom.

After reading this battle report, Lin Haotian was furious and used four words to evaluate Nie Shu: stupid, stupid.

The strength of the You army is to fight encounter battles and surprise battles, and the strength of the Yan army is positional warfare and legion battles.

Of course, what made Lin Haotian angry was not the more than 100,000 soldiers of the You Army who were killed and wounded, no matter how many people were killed, he would not feel distressed, what he was distressed about was the armaments lost by the You Army in this battle, which were all supported by the Jin State, and they were all invested by the Jin State.

After this battle, the vitality of Nie Shu's forces was greatly damaged, if the Yan army could gather troops in a short period of time to take advantage of the situation to attack, it would be difficult for Nie Shu's forces to survive, then the armaments, money and food that the Jin State had aided them would be completely lost.

There is also a very important point, Lin Haotian does not want Nie Shu's forces to be wiped out by the Yan army now, with the existence of Nie Shu's forces, it can greatly contain the Yan State and consume the national strength of the Yan State, which is too beneficial to the Jin State.

After receiving the battle report from Youdi, Lin Haotian immediately summoned the civil and military ministers of the Jin State to discuss how to let Nie Shu's forces survive this difficulty and continue to survive in Youdi.

The ministers of the Jin State are not optimistic about the situation in Youdi, the battle of the Wangxi Plain, the You army fought too badly, most of the troops were reduced, and the Yan army was able to gather at least two legions, the difference in strength between the two sides is huge, if the Yan court sends reinforcements at this time, the gap between the two sides will be widened, which can no longer be made up by relying on the Jin State to support some armaments, money and food.

Ding Feng frowned and said worriedly: "My lord, judging from the current situation, no matter how much armament and food we help Nie Shu now, I'm afraid it will be useless. ”

Lin Haotian asked, "Ding Feng." What do you think of it?"

Ding Fengzheng said: "Send troops to reinforce directly!" He looked at the people present and continued: "Now Nie Shu's soldiers are less than 100,000, and the Yan army in Fantiao County and Jinggu County, which are close to him, still have at least two legions. Our country can only send troops to reinforce directly, of course, our reinforcements can first dress up as Youren, so that they can also avoid direct confrontation with Yan State. ”

Lin Haotian rubbed his chin and was silent.

Chu Lianyu shook his head and said, "After all, our Jin people are not Youren, even if we change our outfits, we can still be recognized by Yan Ren at a glance." Let the Yan people know that our country sent troops to reinforce Nie Shu's forces. That would undoubtedly be equivalent to declaring war on the Yan State, and at that time, my country would probably have to start a full-scale war with the Yan State, which ...... It's not a wise move!"

What Chu Lianyu said was also Lin Haotian's concerns, now that the Jin Kingdom was not ready for a full-scale war with the Yan State, and if the war started in a hurry, it was likely to follow in the footsteps of the last fiasco.

The last defeat led to the annihilation of the Hanlin Army. The lessons of the past are still vivid, and Lin Haotian does not dare to take such a risk again.

He nodded repeatedly. said that Chu Lianyu was right, and it was the next step to send troops directly.

Ding Feng shook his head and said: "If our country can't directly send troops to help, in the eyes of the last general, Nie Shu's party will die!"

Lin Haotian raised his hand. Gently tapping his forehead, he muttered, "Could it be that there is no other good way to do it except to send troops to help?"

Bi Wu's eyes rolled, and he continued: "Since it is not possible to send troops." Our country can send generals. ”

"Oh? When Lin Haotian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Bi Wu said: "The biggest problem facing Nie Shu's forces now is not the lack of short generals, but the lack of commanders who can command the three armies and strategize, if our country can send a commander to Youdi to take over the generals under Nie Shu's command, with the combat power of Youren, even in the face of the strong attack of the two legions of the Yan Kingdom, it may not be impossible to win." ”

Lin Haotian nodded, feeling that Bi Wu's words were to the point.

Now, the commander of the rebel army is Nie Shu, but can he fight? Perhaps he has extremely high political talent, and he is very good at winning people's hearts and boosting morale, but the fact that he commands troops to fight is too ordinary. Through this battle of the Wangxi Plain, it can be seen that Nie Shu has no strategic vision, and he does not even have the self-knowledge of a qualified commander, even if You Ren is a division of tigers and wolves, and let a person like him lead, he will not be able to fight a beautiful battle.

He said: "What Bi Wu said is reasonable, but which general should we send to You Di to take over the You army?"

Seeing Lin Haotian looking at him blankly, Bi Wu hurriedly lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Lin Haotian also understood that Bi Wu was unwilling to go to Youdi.

He shook his head secretly, since Bi Wu didn't want to go, he couldn't force it, Lin Haotian turned his eyes, and then looked at Ding Feng and Lu Kai.

No matter who he looked at, the other person either lowered his head or turned his gaze away, not looking at him.

Everyone really has a tacit understanding, and they don't even want to go to Youdi. Lin Haotian smiled bitterly in his heart.

In fact, the commanders of the Jin army cannot be blamed for retreating.

First of all, this battle is not easy to fight, it is necessary to win more with less, and fight stronger with weak, which is so easy to fight, if it is not forced to do the part, no one wants to fight such a battle.

Secondly, and most importantly, how could the military power of the rebels be so easy to take over? Jin Guo had already sent him to supervise the army, and he was also a battle-hardened and experienced veteran like Tao Yuanfeng, but did anyone listen to his opinions? If You Ren was willing to listen, he would not be able to hope for the battle of the Western Plains, and if he went by himself, if he was colded aside by You Ren like Tao Yuanfeng, then what was the point?

Seeing that all the generals were silent, they were all avoiding their gazes, Lin Haotian was angry and sighed, of course, he could also understand everyone's thoughts, pondered for a while, and slowly said: "Well, since you are not willing to go on this trip, then, let me go!"

Hearing this, the faces of everyone present changed in unison, and they almost said in unison: "Don't, adults!"

Lin Haotian waved his hand and said: "You are unruly, you go forward, not to mention that you can't take over the military power of the rebels, I'm afraid that even if you make suggestions, Nie Shu may not listen to them, but it will be different if I go in person." Nie Shu will still be a little jealous. ”

"But my lord, this trip is dangerous!" said the crowd as they leaned forward involuntarily.

"It's not dangerous, I'm just worried that I may not be able to lead you people to win the Yan army, so ......" Lin Haotian spoke. Turning his head and looking at Wang Han with a smile, he said, "General Wang Han will go with me!"

Anyway, the Hanlin Army has been wiped out in the hot land, and now it is being reorganized, and it will take a long time, and Wang Han is also a bare-pole commander who has nothing to do in the country, and he is an idler.

Of course, Lin Haotian was embarrassed to say the latter words.

Lin Haotian took the initiative to open his mouth to invite, but Wang Han was really not decided, so he held back for a long time. He reluctantly said: "Since the lord has an order, the last general will obey the order." ”

Since the lesson of the last time, Wang Han is reluctant to fight with Lin Haotian in his heart, Lin Haotian is good at fighting and making strange moves, but strange tricks often coexist with risks, which is not in line with Wang Han's calm style, but Lin Haotian is the master, if there is a dispute. Wang Han could only obey Lin Haotian, and the annihilation of the Han Lin Army was a bloody example.

I heard that Wang Han agreed very reluctantly. Lin Haotian also knew that he was still angry with himself, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Wang Han, I will listen to you when I go to Youdi this time, you are the master, and I am the auxiliary......"

He wasn't done yet. Wang Han couldn't wait to bow over and said, "Your Excellency is wise!"

Lin Haotian blinked, Wang Han didn't sound like he was praising himself.

After the battle on the Wangxi Plain, the Youren rebel forces led by Nie Shu were in danger, and Lin Haotian had no choice but to go to Bainan County in Youxi in person. to solve the urgent needs of the rebels.

Lin Haotian is quite self-aware, and he knows very well that his ability to lead the army to fight is probably not much better than Nie Shu, so he is very smart to pull Wang Han, the genius commander, with Wang Han here, he believes that even if there are only 70,000 or 80,000 people left in the You army, it will be enough to resist the 200,000 Yan army.

Worried about being recognized by the Yan army, Lin Haotian didn't bring too many guards, and there were less than five hundred people who followed him to Youdi, among which the elites of the demon underworld warriors were the mainstay.

In order to hide their identities, they also deliberately changed into civilian clothes and dressed up as a caravan.

Before leaving, the Jin State sent a letter to Nie Shu, which did not mention that Lin Haotian would go to Youdi, but only said that Wang Han would be sent to assist You's army, and asked Nie Shu to arrange for people to meet at the Jinyan border.

To make a long story short, Lin Haotian entrusted the affairs of the imperial court to Chu Lianyu and Peng Qian, and he took Wang Han and his party to leave Liuhe and go to the junction of Jinyan.

There was no word all the way, and after arriving at the agreed place, he smoothly connected with the people who were waiting there.

Nie Shu still attached great importance to Wang Han's arrival, and specially sent his general Meng Xiong to lead two thousand elite soldiers to respond.

Meng Xiong is a fierce general among the rebels, and he is as famous as Lei Hong, both of whom are known for their strength and bravery.

When Meng Xiong saw Wang Han, he was shocked, he had never seen such a beautiful man, his skin was fair, soft and weak, and he was even more delicate than a woman.

When he came, he had already received Nie Shu's advice, Meng Xiong was naturally polite to Wang Han, as respectful as a guest, plus Wang Han was long and delicate, and Meng Xiong took care of him even more meticulously on the way.

Now, Youdi is relatively peaceful, at least for the rebels, the Yan army stationed in Youdi has long been scared by the rebels, most of them are cowering in the town, not daring to go out easily, Meng Xiong escorted Lin Haotian and his party, as long as they don't go into the city to stay along the way, they will basically not run into the Yan army.

From the junction of Jin Yan and Yan to Bainan County in Yuxi, they traveled day and night, at full speed, and still walked for more than half a month.

Nie Shu currently lives in Gongcheng, a small city on the border between Bainan County and Fantiao County, and most of the remaining rebels are stationed near Gongcheng.

After learning the news of Meng Xiong's escort to Wang Han's arrival, Nie Shu personally greeted him out of the city.

For Wang Han's name, Nie Shu is also thunderous, knowing that he is one of the top commanders of the Jin Kingdom, and what he lacks most at present is the commander in the army, Wang Han's arrival is like grasping a life-saving straw for him, and whether he can turn over this time depends on Wang Han.

The battle on the Wangxi Plain caused heavy losses to the You army, and also made Nie Shu put away his arrogance and realize his own shortcomings.

Nie Shu had visited Jin Guo and had also met Wang Han, but he didn't have too much contact.

Seeing Wang Han at this time, he quickly stepped forward, and when Wang Han approached, he arched his hand, gave a deep salute, his face could not hide his joy, and said movingly: "General Wang Han, I have been waiting for a long time. ”

Lin Haotian didn't want to reveal his identity in front of many people, so he didn't stand with Wang Han, but mixed in with many guards, and Nie Shu, who was all focused on Wang Han, naturally didn't see him.

Unexpectedly, the arrogant Nie Shu would be so polite to himself, Wang Han was somewhat surprised, presumably the battle in the Western Plains also suppressed Nie Shu's arrogance.

Wang Han smiled slightly, returned the salute, and said, "The general is polite. ”

"General Wang Han, please in the city!"

"General, please!"

Nie Shu and Wang Han walked side by side and entered the city.

Don't look at Gongcheng is not big, there are a lot of people in the city, at this time, there are many people standing on both sides of the street, people stretch their necks one by one, look around, it can also be seen that Nie Shu is indeed very popular with the people in Youdi, and the people are also very supportive of him.

Lin Haotian, who was walking in the crowd, narrowed his eyes slightly, the people of Youdi supported Nie Shu, which was both a good thing and a bad thing, this was a good thing for Nie Shu, but it was not necessarily for Jin Guoke.

Nie Shu let Wang Han into the city lord's mansion where he lived, and found a banquet that had been set up inside, in order to show his respect for Wang Han, Nie Shu deliberately gave up the main seat and invited Wang Han to sit down.

Wang Han did not refuse, but he did not sit on the main seat, but sat on the lower hand opposite Nie Shu.

Nie Shu was quite puzzled when he saw this, Wang Han and himself both sat in the lower position, wouldn't the main seat be empty?

He was about to speak, Wang Han took the lead and said: "General, I have learned a little about the battle of your army in the Wangxi Plain, I don't know how the general thinks your army will fight in this battle?"

"A draw?" Wang Han shook his head and smiled, and said: "In my opinion, it is not a draw, it should be a defeat of your army, and it is a fiasco." His words were not merciless at all, which made the embarrassment on Nie Shu's face even stronger.

One of the following generals said unconvinced: "Although this battle is not satisfactory, it is far from a fiasco!"

Wang Han didn't say a word, and a voice came out behind him: "The Yan army has many generals, while the You army is outnumbered, after a battle, the same battle losses on both sides, one for one, it's not a fiasco for the You army, what is it?"

Hearing such straightforward words, the faces of everyone present changed, and people subconsciously looked behind Wang Han. (To be continued......)
