Knowing that this Liu Ku was really cowardly, Li Tai was worried that this guy might be frightened and affect his performance, which would have some counterproductive effect, so he didn't plan to let him get too close to the Jihu people in the tidal flats at first.

But he didn't expect Liu Kuzhen to take the initiative to ask to get closer and shout to surrender: "These thieves are stupid and don't know orders, so they dare to be enemies of the lord." Now that they have suffered retribution and are trapped in this circumference, the slaves should proclaim the grace of the Lord nearby, so that these thieves can hear and understand clearly, so that they can feel repentance! ”

This guy probably saw that the thieves had been completely surrounded and was not in trouble, so he was so brave that he wanted to rely on Li Tai's army to play a fake tiger fight.

"Although the thieves have no way out, their stubborn will to resist is still not lost. In the past, there were some people who intended to surrender to righteousness, but they were stopped and killed by fierce and stubborn thieves. If you fail to break the fighting spirit of the thieves, but breed the fighting spirit, you will not spare it! ”

Li Tai saw that this guy was a little better, and his face was a little happy and carried away, and he suddenly straightened his face again and said in a deep voice.

When Liu Kuzhen heard this, his expression suddenly became entangled, and all kinds of emotions were entangled in the bottom of his eyes, and at the end, he looked like he was down-to-hearted, and kowtowed heavily in front of Li Tai: "Although the thief is still stubborn, but the slave enjoys the protection of the lord's divine power, how can he be afraid of the persecution of these thieves!" But please rest assured, the slave will try his best to complete the task of persuasion to surrender, if it is really tiring, I am willing to die to apologize! ”

Listening to this guy's self-confession, Li Tai couldn't help but be a little impressed by him. It seems that this Liu Kuzhen is not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but still has some ambition in his heart.

Probably seeing that his father and brother were besieged, the tribal forces that he originally relied on for survival would collapse at any time, so he didn't dare to blindly escape and retreat, after all, there were no eggs under the nest, and if there was no tribal power as a backing, he would not be too nourishing even if he lived, and he might even be worse than dead.

Li Tai was happy to give him a chance, so he ordered a group of armor soldiers to go to the front, quickly piled up an earthen platform more than a foot high, and then ordered someone to lead Liu Kuzhen to the stage to shout surrender.

Although what Liu Kuzhen said before was a bit heroic and heroic, when he really wanted to walk up to the earthen platform to face the surging dangerous aura on the beach, his knees trembled uncontrollably, and most of the weight of his body hung on a sergeant beside him, which was quite a bit of mud and couldn't support the wall.

Li Tai saw that this guy was already unstable, and he was quite disappointed in his heart, and was about to order someone to lure him back and not to be embarrassed on the stage again, but he saw Liu Kuzhen speeding up his pace and standing on the earth platform tremblingly, first looking around blankly, and then looking at the panicked crowd on the beach in front of him, he shouted a few times at a very high volume, and his voice was a little trembling at first, but the last one had become vicious.

When the attention of many Hu people was attracted, Liu Kuzhen continued to shout: "A certain is from Shi Zuoxian's heir, the name Kuzhen, who is specially ordered by the official army Li Dadudou to ......"

】

Hearing Liu Kuzhen's shout, the Hu people in the tidal flats began to talk one after another, with different emotional reactions, but they all listened very carefully without exception.

The tidal flats look crowded, but there is not no room for them. Different tribes each guard an area, leaving a certain gap between them due to their intimacy.

Outside, Liu Kuzhen's shouting quickly spread inward, and soon the vast majority of the Jihu people knew about this matter, and naturally included the Hu chieftains of various departments.

"King Zuoxian, get out! How could your son be on the side of the official army and shout to surrender......"

Several Hu chiefs, who were born in Shuofang Hu, led their respective cronies to one of the Hu Zhong garrisons, pointed to the inside and shouted and questioned.

"Nonsense! Because of your subordinates' mistakes in giving the enemy, my son has already died in the south, how can you still help the enemy to surrender? ”

Liu Tuo, the king of Zuoxian, responded loudly with an angry face: "Lao Tzu was deceived by your subordinates and led his subordinates to help, and several sons died here, and I haven't asked you to wait, how dare you doubt me?" ”

Hearing King Zuo Xian's shout, several Shuo Fang Hu chiefs also looked a little unnatural. From Shihu's loss of troops, the size of the army has shrunk several times compared with the first crossing of the river, and it is indeed a heavy loss, so they are not without guilt, so they all temporarily accept the explanation of King Zuoxian.

The chieftains of Hu each denounced the cunning and deceitful of the officers and soldiers, and reiterated by the way that they would resist to the end and never give in, and then they dispersed and returned to their ranks. It's just that their respective troops are even more coalescing, and faintly surround the Shihu tribe.

After dealing with the questioning of Chief Zhuhu for the time being, the expression of King Zuo Xian was not relaxed, and there were still one or two luck thoughts in his heart, only feeling that he knew his son Mo Ruo's father, and this kind of dangerous thing of shouting and persuading him to surrender seemed to be not something that his son's character could do.

However, he still summoned Liu Aqi, who fled back from Dongxia Prefecture, to inquire carefully, that Liu Aqi was defeated and fled back, and he also suffered a very severe punishment, and when he saw Zuo Xianwang's grim expression, he was nervous in his heart, and after weighing it, he still gritted his teeth and said that Liu Kuzhen had been killed, and the person who shouted outside the battle was an official and military disguise.

King Zuo Xian breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, but he couldn't help but feel sad, pointed at Liu Aqi and scolded angrily: "At this moment, the battle situation is urgent, and there is no time for him to take care of it, and when you break through, you will sacrifice my son with the blood of your thief slave!" ”

When Liu Aqi heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, and before he could beg for mercy, he had been rudely taken down by the strong men in the clan to take care of him.

After surviving the initial panic, Liu Kuzhen saw that the thieves on the other side did not dare to approach and attack him at all, and his courage gradually increased, and his shouting became louder and smoother.

But although he tried his best to surrender, the effect was not very great, and few Hu Zhong surrendered before entering, which inevitably made Liu Kuzhen feel frustrated.

It was getting late, and the encirclement fortifications were initially completed, and Li Tai didn't expect Liu Kuzhen to really be able to recruit many Hu people in battle, mainly to break the morale of the people on the other side, so he lured Liu Kuzhen back before dark.

Liu Kuzhen was unwilling to return in vain, and even said that he could fight at night. Li Tai was quite hoarse when he heard his voice, but it could be seen that he really made a lot of effort, and after a few words of encouragement with a smile, he asked people to lead him back to the camp.

When night fell, the men and horses outside the encirclement entered the camp to rest, leaving only some of the necessary armor guards to rely on the fortifications.

The Jihu masses in the tidal flats were more active and restless than during the day, probably because after the cover of night, they would no longer directly see the officers and soldiers surrounding them, and their courage grew again.

Some of the thieves broke away from the tidal flats and tentatively approached the encirclement, and they were greeted by cold arrows that broke through the sky, and they hurriedly retreated.

Others sneaked towards the gap they had seen during the day, but were not hindered by any snipers, so they quickened their pace and fled from the gap, and their bodies quickly disappeared into the night, not knowing whether they had really managed to escape alive, or if they had stepped into an even more cruel trap.

Such a small riot lasted until the second half of the night, and the fighting during the day combined with the nervous mood caused the Jihu masses to suffer serious physical exhaustion.

Because there was no strong integration between the tribes, no one was willing to break through rashly, and it became a stepping stone for others to escape, so there was no large-scale breakthrough. With the passage of time, under the dual consumption of physical strength and energy, it is more difficult to organize any large-scale activities.

Just when both sides thought that the night would pass so peacefully, a relatively fierce riot broke out at the core of the tidal flat crowd.

All kinds of roars and killings suddenly sounded, and immediately woke up the Hu people around them, who were already like frightened birds, and the Hu chiefs did not dare to investigate what was going on, but only strictly restrained their own troops to avoid being involved in this riot.

The source of this riot is the area where Lishi Huzhong is located, but most of the Lishi Huzhong people don't know the reason for the riot at all, they just tilt their heads and pretend to sleep for a while, and when they wake up, the surroundings are already in chaos, and everyone makes inexplicable roars to embolden themselves and deter others.

"King Zuo Xian has been killed!"

The commotion lasted for a while, and finally a relatively clear word was shouted out by someone else, but the message conveyed shocked the people who left the stone and the husks.

"Shuo Fang thief Hu wants to rob me of my life, and he actually harms King Zuoxian! The prince of Ku Zhen recruited the clan outside the battle, quickly killed and joined the young master, and then avenged the king! ”

Then there was a series of clearer shouts, and the panicked Lishi Hu people finally received the guidance order at this moment, and they were no longer at a loss, and subconsciously grabbed their staff and followed the large army to rush straight to the left.

Even the elite and well-trained men and horses are likely to explode in the face of various factors such as siege, demoralization and enormous pressure, not to mention the huddlers.

Although those Hu chieftains still did not lose the idea of restraining their respective troops, their own control was rapidly disappearing, and except for the cronies around them, there were very few who could drink the order. Most of the pawns, frightened, began to follow their instincts, but these instinctive actions made the situation even more chaotic.

The chaotic roar of the battalion in the tidal flats soon alerted the men and horses of the camps outside the encirclement, and all the generals put on their armor and went out of the camp one after another, arranging their respective troops to the encirclement to enrich the front. In order to prevent the camp from spreading outward, the soldiers on the front lit rockets and shot inward to disperse and block the Hu people who rushed in this direction.

Li Tai had already fallen asleep in the camp, but when he heard the commotion outside, he also got up and left the camp, and saw that the tidal flats under the flickering lights of rockets seemed to have become purgatory on earth, and all kinds of terrible sounds and ghostly crowds would even break out fierce fights between each other, and everything became out of control.

"How so?"

Although it was expected that the thief army would be difficult to support for a long time, after waking up and seeing that it had collapsed so badly, Li Tai couldn't help but be taken aback, so he asked left and right, but everyone couldn't tell why, the only thing that was certain was that this was not a bad thing.

Li Tai walked around the encirclement for another week, and saw that Yang Zhong and Yu Wengui were all on the front to pay close attention to the chaos in the interior, but they did not dare to send troops into the interior to interfere. After all, what is even more terrifying than the elite who have won a hundred battles is the rebels who bombed the camp out of control, these rebels really have the power of God to block and kill God at the moment, and they can only be restrained after they are crazy and exhausted and regain their senses.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, after all, these Hu people themselves were already at the end of the strong crossbows with serious physical exertion, and after the noise and madness, those who were lucky enough to not die were lying on the ground one after another, and their limbs were so weak that it was difficult to move again.

When dawn came, his vision became wider again, and Li Mu did not have time to participate in cleaning up the battlefield, so he led his subordinates to start chasing and killing the Hu Zhong who escaped from the gap last night.

On the tidal flats, there is a pile of people, like a bloody and cruel slaughterhouse, and the blood and water that have been thrown have already solidified and frozen, forming patches of shocking reddish-brown mottles, and the corpses are stacked on top of each other. Even if the army attacked and killed, it might not cause such a tragic situation, and last night's camp Xiao brought more damage to the Hu people than the battle on the battlefield.

Only then did the people enter to clean up the scene, even if there were still some Hu Zhong who could still act, but they could not organize resistance at all, looking at the officers and soldiers who entered in groups, they could only abandon their weapons and surrender in despair.

Last night's camp roar caused nearly half of the casualties to the besieged Hu people, especially the old and weak women and children who were already vulnerable groups in the tribe, and a large number of people died, and only a small part of the knowledge that survived.

The Hu pawns who were lying on their stomachs in the pile of corpses were driven up, and under the orders of the guards, the corpses that had become cold and hard were collected and stacked, and soon formed a high pile.

Rao is Li Tai has been quite experienced in battle and is accustomed to life and death, but when he saw that the tens of thousands of horses that could still run and move yesterday have become a lump of frozen meat today, his mood has become a little low, and he has a deeper understanding of the cruelty of the troubled times, and war will always continue to expand the boundaries of human evil.

Of course, it would be too hypocritical to say that there is any war-weariness and misanthropy. The greatest gain from the suffering that people have witnessed should be to do everything possible to keep themselves and those close to them away from this suffering, and the joy and sweetness of victory will never be diminished by the misery of the enemy.

As the battlefield was gradually cleaned up, this joint and cross-regional military operation of various states also drew a perfect end, whether it was Shuo Fanghu who harbored evil intentions in the realm, or Lishihu who came from across the border, the forces were almost devastating.

Even if the Western Wei Bafu does not focus on the strategy of Beizhou, this can definitely be called a brilliant victory, and it can even be said that the victory exceeds the previous military operations against Jihu in Beizhou since the Great Unification!

Therefore, while the soldiers were still busy with the finishing touches, the generals had already begun to consider the distribution of the merits and spoils.
