Chapter 546: The Battle of the Snow Field (Continuing)

(Singles' Day is here again, I wish all singles, happy holidays!) )

Blood was spilled all the way.

Before they could change color, they were frozen by the cold weather, and the thrilling bright red froze in the snow and ice.

There are corpses lying on the ground everywhere, with strange postures, and there are many cases of the head being divided or missing arms and legs. Even though Gu Han had seen a lot of dead people after going through the previous battles, it was still extremely shocking that so many people had died in the first battle.

More dead people were caught up and killed by the right guards in the process of escaping.

In the earlier battle, the cavalry units, which had not moved at all, won countless victories in the final pursuit. They disdained even the scattered routs who had lost their formation and fled alone. Their target is just those brigades of men.

Of course, those scattered deserters did not escape in the end.

Because the right guards who came later far surpassed their opponents in terms of physical strength, equipment, and will to fight. These scattered deserters were eventually overtaken by the infantry of the Right Guard in the snowfield, and then easily killed.

There were no prisoners.

Li Rui don't want to be taken prisoner.

In fact, it was impossible for them to travel with so many captives.

Gu Han sat on the horse-drawn sleigh and saw that not far away, an enemy who was running for his life was chased by two right guards. When Gu Han's sleigh passed by them, he happened to hear the captive begging for mercy in despair.

But the right guard soldier didn't seem to hear the other party's voice at all, and coldly raised his knife and slashed down.

The pleas for mercy stopped abruptly, and the right guard soldier kicked the corpse aside like a broken bag, and then hurriedly chased after the large army ahead with a knife.

In the evening, Gu Han finally arrived at his destination.

In front of him, the cavalry had already arrived first.

A huge dock fort appeared in front of Gu Han, and at the top of the dock fort, the banner of the right guard had been planted. On the city wall, there were also some foot soldiers who were the first to arrive.

Gu Han breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that the part of the enemy who had fled had not returned to Wubao, originally he thought that there would be a battle here, but now he had occupied the biggest target of this trip without blood.

Under the dock fort, a large group of old and weak women and children squatted on the ground with their heads held in despair, these should be the families of the enemy.

Gu Han jumped off the sleigh and saw that in all directions, there were the same old and weak women and children who were driven by the cavalry, and at the same time, in the dock fort, there were also some richly dressed women and children who were driven out.

The people who were kicked out of the dock fort were obviously much better off than those outside.

The sound of horses' hooves, Li Rui rode out of the dock fort, saw Gu Han, laughed and jumped off the horse: "Kan Yan, that soft egg, didn't flee here, although we occupied this place effortlessly, but it still disappointed me very much, cutting off his head can make me calm the anger in my heart a little." ”

Gu Han pointed at the trembling captives: "What about these people?" ”

Li Rui scratched his head, also a little embarrassed.

"I wanted to kill them all!"

"So many people, and they are also old and weak, women and children!" Gu Han was taken aback.

Li Rui rolled his eyes: "Then what innocents, do you think that their man, father, snatched back those blood-stained food and bloody treasures, they didn't enjoy it?" ”

"But there are too many people!" Gu Han was a little weak and weak.

"yes, there are too many people." Li Rui let out a rare sigh: "It's really a little hard to get started." ”

Night finally fell, more and more soldiers of the Right Xiao Guard returned, and as the military flags gathered in front of Li Rui, the entire establishment was finally restored to its integrity.

Blazing torches lit atop the city walls, illuminating the captives of the city, desperately awaiting their final fate under the threat of soldiers.

Li Rui rode past them.

"From now on, you have a pillar of incense to escape, and after a pillar of incense, the hunt will begin." The corners of Li Rui's mouth showed a cruel sneer. "Now, run!"

Someone stood up and looked at Li Rui.

"If you don't run, do you want to die now?" Li Rui casually waved the horsewhip in his hand and knocked the nearest person to the ground. The man got up from the ground, seemed to have been awakened by the whip, howled in despair, and turned and ran wildly into the darkness.

With the first one, those who followed immediately followed suit. Tens of thousands of such captives, whether they were usually the lowliest slaves or the noblest housewives, spread their legs and ran wildly into the boundless darkness.

In the blink of an eye, under the dock fort, which had just been crowded, the captives had run cleanly and disappeared into the darkness.

Li Rui listened attentively for a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he gently knocked on the horse's belly and walked towards the dock fort.

Behind him, thousands of soldiers entered the fort one after another.

Gu Han stood at the top of the fort, looking at the darkness with some melancholy.

There were footsteps around him, and Li Rui came to his side.

"Not going to chase and kill?" Seeing that almost all the soldiers had entered the dock fort, Gu Han asked.

"With this strength, it is better to let everyone sleep well!" Li Rui laughed: "I haven't slept well in a warm room for many days." At this point, most of the basic goals before the war have been completed, and there are still a few nails left, but they are not as difficult to deal with as Kan Yan, that is, they have gone through the motions. ”

The corners of Gu Han's mouth finally showed a smile: "Although you are right to say that there are no innocents here, if you really want to kill these people, I will still be uncomfortable, after all, we are Datang people, we are different from them, we are more civilized and advanced than them." ”

"I'm not a Killer either!" Li Rui said with some dissatisfaction: "If you want to kill, I will only kill those who can cause us harm." These people, forget it! But in such a dark night, in such weather, how much they can survive, it's hard to say, right?"

"Either we should do it, or we should be better. As for how much they can live, that's their life! Gu Han said lightly.

Li Rui laughed: "Judge Gu, I like you more and more." You're completely different from a lot of readers. I'm afraid you'll ask me to give them some food!" ”

Gu Han also laughed: "I've never been such a hypocrite, we have to take care of ourselves first, right?" General Lee, when it comes to food, I'm hungry. ”

Li Rui turned around, pointed to the curling smoke rising from the dock fort, and said, "Look, the guys have already started preparing dinner. ”

The dock fort is very large, enough to hold five thousand right guard soldiers, and there is no shortage of comfortable and luxurious residences in the dock fort, obviously, this place originally belonged to Kanyan, but now, it has become the residence of Li Rui and Gu Han.

The soldiers had searched several times to confirm that there was no longer a single outsider in the dwelling, and the same search was going on throughout the fort. Occasionally, there are lucky lurkers who are pulled out of hiding by the soldiers of the right Xiaowei and killed with a single sword.

Li Rui is not the kind of general who is careless, and his own experience makes him extra careful no matter what he does.

"It's actually very difficult to fight such a dock fort." Li Rui said, "Originally, I was ready for a hard fight, and even brought two trebuchets, but I didn't expect Kan Yan's brain to enter the water, and he actually wanted to fight with us in the field, haha, in the field battle, they are scum." Judge Gu, at the cost of less than 500 casualties, I defeated nearly 20,000 enemies, killed more than 10,000 enemies, and few people fled. If the opponent is Zhang Zhongwu's army, then I will become a generation of famous generals, but unfortunately, it is a slave army like Kan Yan, alas, such a war exploit, but it will be a fold. ”

"No, even if their combat effectiveness is not strong, it is still 20,000 people!" Gu Han smiled and comforted. "Defeating it in a battle is already a great achievement."

"Anyway, I'm still very happy to win, the most important thing is that we can rest for two days, waiting for Li Tingshi's logistics subsidy to be sent, and now our food and grass with the army can only be supported for about ten days. Although there were some gains in the dock fort before, but the harvest was not much, barely enough to support five days, these slave troops are really poor. Li Rui said: "Originally, I thought that I could get about ten days of grain and grass, so I could send troops directly without waiting for Li Tingshi's logistics subsidy, so that I could rush home for the New Year!" ”

"Continuous fighting, although the soldiers are still high morale, but the body is tired after all, I didn't do anything, just followed the road, I want to have a good rest, not to mention the soldiers, there is tension and relaxation, it is the right way." Gu Han said.

"Judge Gu is right, just rest in this dock fort for a few days!" Li Rui waved his hand.

"Kan Yan still fled, there are always two or three thousand people who fled with him, will they kill a horse pistol?" Gu Han reminded Li Ruidao.

Li Rui laughed: "Judge Gu, my scouts have already been sent out, and they are ten miles away, if our Wuwei Army can be attacked by the enemy, it will be a strange thing." Even if they are resting, half of them are on full guard, which is clearly stipulated in our military discipline of Wuwei. Rest assured, O you, sleep well. ”

Gu Han smiled a little embarrassedly, in front of a veteran general like Li Rui, it was no wonder that others would laugh.

After eating a full meal, Gu Han climbed into bed and slept beautifully.

It's a pity that he didn't sleep until dawn this night.

When he was woken up by Li Rui, it was still dark outside.

"What's wrong?" Gu Han jumped up: "Kan Yan really fought back?" ”

Li Rui shook his head: "Kan Yan is a fart, even if he comes, there is nothing to be afraid of." ”

"What's going on?"

"I think we've fallen into a trap." Li Rui said thoughtfully.

"Trap?" Gu Han was shocked: "What do you mean?" ”

"Kan Yan was sent to death intentionally." Li Rui said coldly: "My four groups of scouts fled back, forty people, and only eight people came back. ”
