Looking at the center of the two formations, the young son of heaven who made the giant beast stop with a single sword, countless Chu army soldiers were boiling in their hearts, and shouted in unison:

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

For a time, the sound of the mountain was loud and mighty, spreading all over the four fields.

"What's going on?"

The Burmese army, listening to the sound of the mountain in the distance, Wu Jianning was puzzled.

But soon, his doubts were solved.

The little emperor of the Chu State was not only the Nine-Rank Grandmaster, but also personally led the army out of the battle and killed a giant elephant with one sword!

Hearing this news, Wu Jianning only felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost couldn't get up in one breath.

How is this possible?

Wu Jianning gritted his teeth and thought.

"Marshal, General Lang asked you, did it go according to the original plan?"

The scout under the watchtower asked in a loud voice.

"Naturally, it went according to plan!"

Wu Jianning's eyes flashed ruthlessly.

There was no turning back from the bow.

When the little emperor of the Chu State appeared on the battlefield and killed a giant elephant with one sword, the extremely shocking scene was enough to severely damage the morale of his own side.

If you show a little weakness, the morale of your soldiers will drop again and again, and eventually turn into a rout.

But now he still has a chance to save!

"Let the whole army go out and target the Son of Heaven. Everyone told their respective corporals that Ben Shuai promised that if anyone could cut off the head of the Son of Heaven of the Chu State, Ben Shuai would personally ask His Majesty for him to take the throne! ”

Wu Jianning said loudly to the generals.

For the sake of today, there is only a heavy reward!

Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men!

Hearing the promise of their own handsome, countless people's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Kill Emperor Chu and reward the king!"

"Kill Emperor Chu and reward the king!"

"Kill Emperor Chu and reward the king!"

In the midst of a burst of shouts, the Burmese soldiers turned red, brandished their weapons, and yelled and rushed towards the Chu army.

And Lang Wei, who got the order, also forced the elephant slave to drive the giant elephant and rushed towards Zhao Yu.

Looking at the Burmese army that launched a full-scale offensive, Zhao Yu laughed, and the red dragon knife pointed obliquely at the Burmese army, and laughed wildly:

"My head is here, if you have the ability, just come and get it! Soldiers, kill the enemy with me! ”

With that, the Flying Bear Army behind him charged towards the elephant herd again.

Not far away, more than 30,000 Chu troops also followed Zhao Yu like a wave, launching an offensive against the Burmese army.

It's time for the decisive battle!

Zhao Yu waved his knife again and again, and wherever the knife qi passed, whether it was a man or a giant elephant, there was no life or death.

The Flying Bear Army followed closely behind Zhao Yu, and at the moment of intersection with the giant elephant, the Flying Bear Army led by Zhang Xiu showed a very high horse control technique, and at the same time controlled the war horse under the crotch to avoid it, he pulled out the iron spear from behind with his backhand, and threw the spear to the elephant slave on the back of the elephant with the help of the inertia of the war horse sprinting.

Compared with the big-skinned and tenacious elephants, the elephant slaves who control them are obviously the weakest link.

Although the Burmese placed two shield-wielding warriors next to the elephant slaves to cover them, at close range, the armor-piercing ability of the spear was far beyond that of ordinary arrows.

By the time the two sides crossed by the wrong horse, the more than a dozen elephant slaves had no longer made any sound, leaving only one giant elephant standing motionless.

"Damn it!"

In the herd, seeing more than a dozen giant elephants standing in place without control, Lang Wei, who led the elephant herd, couldn't help but drip blood in his heart.

In this battle alone, nearly half of the giant elephants that Myanmar is proud of were killed or wounded, and such a huge loss made it difficult for him to accept it for a while.

There are only about 200 giant elephants, and each one is a treasure.

With the little emperor of Chu State, the nine-rank grandmaster, if this continues, I'm afraid the entire elephant herd will be slaughtered!

Gritting his teeth, he made a difficult decision.

Pull the remaining giant elephants off the battlefield!

As for the rest, he can't care so much!

So, under the dull eyes of the Burmese soldiers, the remaining fourteen war elephants slowly withdrew towards the edge of the battlefield.

The morale of the Burmese army, which had finally risen because of the generous reward, disappeared in an instant.

"Lang Wei, bastard, does he know what he is doing? He is abandoning his allies for his own selfishness! ”

Wu Jianning roared with a hideous face.

He had never hated himself so much, he was blind at the beginning, so he let Lang Wei lead the elephant army!

However, there is no regret medicine in this world at all.

The generals and colonels of the Chu army at all levels obviously noticed that the morale of the Burmese soldiers had dropped greatly, and they shouted loudly:

"Brothers, kill all the Burmese thieves!"

"Kill the thief!"

"Kill the thief!"

The 30,000 officers and soldiers of the Chu army let out an earth-shattering roar, and one after another the tide of soldiers rushed towards the Burmese army like a red ocean.

Under the retreat of the elephant army, the cavalry that had been following them was suddenly exposed.

The cavalry of the Burmese army was not strong, these cavalry troops were first crushed by the Flying Bear Army, and they lost their speed advantage and then fell into the sea of Chu army, only a few struggles, and then the whole army was wiped out, and there was no sound again.

Seeing the Chu army rushing over like a wolf and a tiger, the Burmese army, whose morale was already on the verge of collapse, could no longer hold on, and in the sound of crying father and mother, they turned around and pushed me to squeeze behind them and fled wildly.

A devastating collapse began.

More than 40,000 Burmese troops, like ants that burst their nests at high tide, threw away their armor and fled for their lives in the way they came.

Looking at the situation of defeat, Wu Jianning was stunned.

He couldn't figure out how the originally good situation could collapse like this in an instant?

Two lines of turbid tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, Wu Jianning laughed miserably, pulled out the saber at his waist, crossed his neck, faced the direction of Shuntianfu, the capital of Burma, knelt on one knee, and cried loudly:

"The minister lost the army, and suffered this great defeat, and he is ashamed of His Majesty. This sin, the water of the river is difficult to wash away, and it can only be redeemed by death! ”

As he spoke, he wanted to kill himself with a sword, and apologize for his sins with death.

Seeing this, the guards around him were so frightened that they snatched the long knife and said loudly:

"General, don't do that! Not to mention, we are a soldier, and we still need to bring you back to the country; If the general dies like this, who will find out to His Majesty that Lang Wei's guilt! If he hadn't withdrawn his troops without authorization, why would the general have been defeated? ”

Hearing the word "Lang Wei", Wu Jianning finally had a little anger in his eyes.

Yes, although the old man is the culprit in this defeat, the responsibility of that Lang Wei is not under the old man.

Even if the old man dies, he will die behind this guy!

Thinking of this, Wu Jianning finally put down his hand and nodded:

"Yes, even if I die, I can't make Lang Wei's house better!"

He stood up, gritted his teeth, and said:

"Order the armies, let them withdraw to the country as soon as possible along the road they came, and the commander will lead the Chinese army himself and block the Chu army for them!"

"Whoa!"

The guard hurriedly responded.

"Kill!"

Under the leadership of Qu Zhen, Wang Xiongdan, Yin Shou, Zhang Xiu and others, the Chu army pursued the dead and chased the north, and the blood flowed like a river.

Wang Xiongdan met Zhuo Yi, the main general of the right wing of the Burmese army, in the battle, and the two were incompatible, Zhuo Yi was coveted by Wang Xiongdan, and a lance was stabbed under the horse.

For the Burmese people, the Chu people have a bitter hatred, and everywhere they go, they mourn everywhere, people and animals are not left, and they can't even see a complete corpse.

"General, we can't resist it, let's withdraw too, it's too late if we don't leave!"

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, Wu Jianning's personal guards said to him urgently.

"Withdraw!"

Wu Jianning glanced at the direction where Zhao Yu was, and said this word with a humiliated expression.

"Catch up, don't let the Burmese dog run away!"

Looking at the Burmese army retreating in a hurry, the officers and soldiers of the Chu army shouted loudly.

Wu Jianning led the remnants of the army to fight and retreat, preparing to withdraw to the country along the original route.

However, things don't always go as planned.

Suddenly, one of the guards shouted with horror on his face.

"General, general, look ahead, what's going on in front?"

Wu Jianning followed the guard's fingers and looked at it, and suddenly felt that his hands and feet were cold.

In the mountains and forests less than three miles away from them, billowing smoke rose along with the flames.

"This, have I even been cut off from the back road?"

Wu Jianning couldn't help but sigh.

It turned out that at the suggestion of Li Ru, as early as the night before yesterday, he and Jia Xu had each taken 300 soldiers to quietly go out of the city at night, ambushed in the mountains and forests where the Burmese army must pass, poured buckets of tung oil on the grass and trees on both sides of the road, and then ambushed.

When they learned of the defeat of the Burmese army, they spared the retreating elephant army and then lit the flames.

With the blessing of Li Ru's characteristic [Burning City], in just a short time, the fire spread rapidly, not only completely sealing the retreat road of the Burmese army, but also setting fire to the surrounding mountains and forests.

Some Burmese soldiers who had no time to dodge were directly ignited by the raging flames and burned to ashes.

So, in the case of a raging fire in front and a chasing soldier in the rear, countless Burmese soldiers were cornered and had to kneel down to ask the Chu army to surrender.

Looking at the soldiers who surrendered all over the sky, the string in Wu Jianning's heart completely broke.

"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent!"

In the terrible roar, Wu Jianning drew his knife and killed himself.

In the burst of blood, a generation of famous Burmese generals came to an end.

…………

When the last remnant sun fell, this tragic war finally ended with a complete victory for the Chu army.

According to the standard regulations for capturing prisoners, the soldiers of the Chu army cut off the hands of all the Burmese who had surrendered, and tied their arms with thick ropes in groups of ten and strung them together.

After about two hours, all the Burmese prisoners were tied up and there was no room for resistance.

Zhao Yu immediately stood on the hill, and a pair of starry eyes swept towards the battlefield.

I saw that on the wilderness within a radius of several miles, there were corpses left by the Burmese army everywhere, and the broken Burmese army battle flags were discarded on the battlefield in this way, and the ownerless war horses wandered back and forth on the battlefield, looking for the owner who died in battle.

Once the success will be done, the ancients will not deceive me......

Zhao Yu sighed in his heart.

Soon after, the generals came to Zhao Yu one after another to report the results of the battle to him.

After this fierce battle, more than 20,000 Burmese troops who invaded the territory of Chu were annihilated, and 10,000 Burmese troops were captured and more than 5,000 were missing.

Needless to say, most of these 5,000 people died in the wildfires.

Less than 3,000 soldiers followed the elephant army out of the battlefield and fled towards Burma before Li Ru and Jia Xu set fire to the forest.

"Your Majesty, what should be done with these pawns?"

Yin Shou asked, clasping his fists.

Zhao Yu glanced at the Burmese soldiers who were detained by the Chu army, and said lightly: "What do you think?" ”

"Your Majesty, although the Burmese are short in stature, these soldiers are military-trained, quite strong, and are all excellent coolies."

Regarding Wang Xiongdan's opinion, Zhao Yu was noncommittal and looked at Jia Xu on the side.

"Wenhe, tell me what you think."

Jia Xu bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, these 10,000 soldiers need to consume a lot of food every day, and our army's food stock is already tight, it is better to behead them all and make them into a Jingguan to deter the Burmese and barbarians!" ”

Hearing Jia Xu's words, the eyes of the generals looking at Jia Xu changed.

No one expected that this middle-aged scribe, who was a little chubby and had a warm smile on his face, would be so ruthless when he made a move.

He also uses the word "Wenhe"!

By the way, that Li Ru and Li Wenyou are not good at stubble, and the desperate plan to set fire to the forest and cut off the way behind him can also be said lightly......

It seems that these strategists beside His Majesty, if it is not necessary in the future, it is better not to have evil relations with them, otherwise I don't know which day, I will be inexplicably yin by the other party!

The generals quietly looked at each other, and secretly made the same decision in their hearts.

Such ruthless people who hide knives in their smiles, they really can't afford to offend these straight-hearted warriors.

But then again, they still quite agree with Jia Xu's proposal.

For mercy to one's enemies is cruelty to oneself.

"Wen He is right, if it is not my race, its heart will be different!"

Zhao Yu said.

"Just do what Wenhe said!"

Soon, in the wilderness, a series of miserable howls sounded.

The Burmese captives who knelt on the ground were beheaded in pieces, and the blood once again stained the ground red.

Immediately, their heads were simply salted with lime, and then built into a huge Jingguan by the Chu army, and the billowing evil qi soared into the sky.

This Jingguan is to commemorate the soldiers who died in the previous wars, and to deter the Burmese and barbarians.

Two days later, when the Jingguan was built, Wukun and other mountain barbarians who were forced to come to watch the ceremony looked at the angry Jingguan, and only felt that their scalps were numb.

They had no doubt that if they dared to rebel again, the Emperor of Chu would mercilessly use his own and his clansmen's heads to build a second Jingguan!

This is a monarch who is tough on his enemies!

Wu Kun and the others thought so in their hearts.

However, when they were about to go to meet Zhao Yu, they were told by the officials of the Chu State that His Majesty had led his troops out of Xunlin City yesterday and headed south in the starry night, heading towards the two cities of Funing and Laiqu.

Such a move, as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhao Yu is obviously preparing to take back all the lost territory with the momentum of a big victory.

Sure enough, after learning the news that the main force of the Burmese army was almost completely wiped out in the first battle, the defenders of the two cities almost surrendered.

Zhao Yu didn't make much effort, and let the two cities return to the embrace of the Chu State.

…………

After the big victory, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The document of the victory has been sent to the imperial court, and at the same time, news has reached Zhao Yu, the new prefect of Jiaxing Mansion, which is Zhao Yu's very optimistic Buqi Buzishan.

For this appointment, Zhao Yu expressed great satisfaction.

The characteristics of Buqi [Zhongwang Southern Xinjiang] can allow ethnic minorities such as Miao and Barbarian to quickly integrate into the mainstream culture of Chu State, thereby speeding up the restoration of stability in Jiaxing Prefecture.

He is currently the most suitable candidate in Zhao Yu's hands to govern southern Xinjiang, and he is not even one of them.

And Bu Qi did not live up to Zhao Yu's expectations, and three days ago, he rushed to southern Xinjiang alone.

At the same time, Bu Qi brought another news, that is, the Jin State had informed the hundred officials of the court that they were ready to send envoys to mediate the disputes between Qi and Chu, and the lords of the court also hoped that Zhao Yu, the emperor, could return to Shenjing City as soon as possible, on the one hand, to preside over the overall situation, and on the other hand, to stabilize people's hearts.

After Zhao Yu nodded in understanding, he took Bu Qi to a place.

"Your Majesty, this is the wounded barracks?"

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scene in front of him, Bu Qi asked in a puzzled tone.

"It was the wounded barracks in the past, of course, now it may be more appropriate to call it Xinglin Yuan."

Zhao Yu said with a smile.

It turned out that after the end of the war, looking at the scene of the wounded soldiers in the army wailing in pain, Zhao Yu, who had a heart of forbearance, decided to try his hand at the knife in southern Xinjiang and engrave some of his own marks on this land.

In the Miaojiang area, miasma and plague were raging, although when the rebels were conscripted, due to the rapid end of the war, the imperial army was not infected, but with the passage of time, it was inevitable that some soldiers in the army were infected with miasma, and they were so sick that they died, and even several people died of illness because of the lack of timely treatment.

In addition, after the previous battles, many of the soldiers in the army had injuries of varying severity and severity, and the injuries gradually worsened and deepened due to tetanus or bacterial infection.

This kind of non-combat attrition, in Zhao Yu's eyes, is simply unreasonable, but in a feudal country like Dachu, it is commonplace.

Relying on his absolute authority in quelling the rebellion, Zhao Yu vigorously reformed and expanded the wounded barracks in the army.

Under the temptation of commuting their sentences, the mountain barbarian captives who were captured by the imperial court exerted great subjective initiative.

Zhao Yu turned all the people who were responsible for the logistics and transportation of the army into nurses, assigned the craftsmen sent from Ningtong City, and a group of prisoners, and in less than ten days, built a brand new camp three miles northeast of Ningtong City.

Outside the three-zhang wide gate of the camp, there is a plaque of Ningtong Apricot Forest Courtyard. The name Xinglinyuan was given by Zhao Yu, and the inscription was inscribed by Jia Xu, who had the best calligraphy.

Because of this, Li Ru's eyes changed when he looked at Jia Xu.

This is a rare opportunity to leave a name in history!

It's a pity that his words are a little worse, and he was preempted by Jia Wen and this guy, and he drank the soup!

The dormitories for sick people in the barracks are basically all large bunks that lead from one end to the other, and only the general school has its own single room.

It's not that it can't build separate beds for these wounded and sick, it's just that Zhao Yu has to do so in order to adapt to this era of clear classes.

But Rao is like this, after building the Datong shop, Zhao Yu still instructed the craftsmen to use a half-person-high wooden board to erect it on the tong shop and separate the single rooms for the patients.

Fifty large and small barracks, excluding the nursing staff's quarters, can accommodate a total of 860 beds.

The wounded and sick in the army were placed in different barracks according to the severity and type of injuries and illnesses they suffered. Each barracks has a varying number of full-time nurses, including serious injuries and illnesses, and even nurses to take care of them one-on-one.

Some of these nurses were recruited from Jiaxing Prefecture, and some were selected from prisoners.

The remuneration for recruitment was money, and the remuneration for captives was a reduction in sentence.

Outside each barracks, there is a laundry room. The laundry room was not large, except for one wall, which was the wall of the barracks, the other three sides were empty, and only a roof was built on top of it to shelter from the wind and rain.

Underneath the shed, there are several steaming cauldrons, in which boiling water is constantly boiling, which is used to steam and disinfect the sheets and clothes that the wounded and sick have changed. The sheets and clothes that have been changed are first washed off with running water, then sterilized by high-temperature steaming, and finally dried and sent back to the sick for use.

Originally, Zhao Yu's plan was to be in charge of these chores in the barracks, all of whom were relatives and friends of the injured and sick, as well as the injured and sick who had recovered their mobility. But most of the people who need to be treated now are soldiers from the Beijing camp.

These soldiers, their ancestral homes and families are all near Shenjing, and there are no relatives and friends here in southern Xinjiang at all.

So in desperation, Zhao Yu could only hire people from Ningtong City to work.

He even had the idea of waiting until it was ready, to separate part of the barracks in the Xinglin Courtyard for the wounded and sick among the prisoners, and to allow their relatives to come to visit and accompany them, so that one could calm the hearts of these captives, and the other could make them feel the "warmth" from the Chu court.

Thinking about it, these captives will be grateful to themselves and to the court, and they will easily not rebel again in their lives.

In the open space about three zhang wide between every two barracks, Zhao Yu specially asked craftsmen to create a row of benches with backrests from non-perishable wood.

When the sun comes out and the sun is shining, the wounded and sick in the Xinglin Courtyard can sit on the benches and bask in the sun.

In addition, he also arranged flower beds in the camp and transplanted many flowers and trees that were easy to live and maintain.

In the face of green eyes and vitality, these wounded and sick will feel much better and more conducive to recovery.

In response to the rainy weather in Miaojiang, Zhao Yu also paved the main roads in the camp with gravel and dug sewers to drain water on the one hand and sewage on the other.

To be honest, without so many captives, it would have been impossible for this extremely extensive Xinglin Courtyard to be built so quickly.

Although the completion of Xinglin Courtyard is a very fulfilling thing for Zhao Yu, it does not mean that he has no worries.

For example, a thief who steals alcohol!

"Wu Erlang, how many times have you stolen wine?"

Hearing Zhao Yu's angry reprimand in the barracks, Wang Xiongdan, who had just finished training with the troops, couldn't help but shake his head.

"This alcohol is for those wounded and wounded, for external sterilization, not for you to use internally to kill alcohol insects! I finally managed to get out so many dozens of pounds, and I didn't see it at a glance, so I lost more than half?! You are also a military general with good character and duties, how can you do these things of stealing chickens and dogs? ”

Wang Xiongdan pushed open the door, a choking smell of wine came to his nose, Wu Song, Zhang Xiu, Yin Shou, Li Yu and other fierce generals in the army, as well as the rest of the generals, all stood honestly in front of Zhao Yu, bowing their heads like quails, obediently being trained.

As the Son of Heaven, Zhao Yu led the Chu army to fight several hearty victories one after another, and his prestige in the army can be described as extremely high.

Although Zhao Yu is always smiling at people on weekdays, and he is also quite kind to the generals, once the fire starts, even Wu Song, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, does not dare to say a word.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Although Wang Xiongtan heard some eyebrows, he still asked.

"What else?" Zhao Yu was still angry when he saw Wang Xiong enter the house, and even the swear words flew out, which showed the anger in his heart, "The alcohol that Lao Tzu prepared for the medical officers of Xinglin Academy took a lot of effort to brew it, but unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, it was secretly drunk by this group of thieves!" ”

Seeing Wang Xiong enter the room to ease the atmosphere, Wu Song salivated and smiled, bowed his head and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, isn't this the end of the war, the wine worms in my stomach are about to make a fuss, and besides, what kind of alcohol did you make Your Majesty, which is even better than the imperial wine that Your Majesty gave to your ministers in the past. I drank a little bit more......"

"Drink a little more?" When Zhao Yu heard this, he was so angry that his voice rose an octave, "I made the craftsmen work for several days before they brewed fifty catties of alcohol, good guy, you left me less than five catties, and then you were embarrassed to tell me, just a little more?" ”

It's called a little bit, it's a billion points, okay!

"Your Majesty, you know the minister, the minister only drank five catties, and the rest went into the stomachs of a few of them......"

Seeing Zhao Yu's almost devouring gaze, Wu Song was shocked and hurriedly explained. As he spoke, he also pointed to Yin Shou and the others.

"Your Majesty, you know the minister. Although the minister slipped his head in front of the clan sister, he was honest in front of His Majesty. I swear, like General Wu, only drank five catties. ”

Yin Shou also opened his mouth to argue, and even did not hesitate to take out Yin Wanwan as a shield.

"Your Majesty, you also know how I am. These days with Your Majesty, when did I lie? I also only moved five pounds of alcohol. ”

Finding that Zhao Yu was looking at him, Zhang Xiu hurriedly spoke, and almost swore to the sky.

Li Yu and other generals said the same.

"Okay, except for me and General Wang, there are eight people in the room, and each of them took five catties of alcohol. This king wants to ask, there are still five catties of alcohol?! ”

Wu Song and the others looked at Wang Xiong on the side.

Wang Xiongdan: What's the matter with me? ?

That's it, good night everyone!
