Shen Zhezi led more than 2,000 soldiers to rush in from the left side of the battlefield, and the Hewan battlefield at this time was no longer a whole, and the Liyang army had been divided into several pieces to fight separately, and was still resisting stubbornly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Only by witnessing it can I know the bravery of the Liyang Army, even if it is no longer in formation, it is still fighting desperately while consciously and spontaneously approaching. However, the Dongyang Army is also not weak, although the new army has not been formed for a long time, but these soldiers are definitely not lacking in fighting experience, and almost every one of them has participated in the defense of Jiangdong more than once.

Although the Dongyang Army has broken up the formation of the Liyang Army, it cannot actually occupy an absolute advantage on the local battlefield. Shen Zhezi led the new army into the battle, and while the heralds shouted slogans, they slaughtered the Liyang army that was still resisting one by one. With reinforcements joining, the Dongyang Army gradually gained control of the battlefield.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and suddenly a continuous burst of laughter and shouts broke out on the battlefield in the north: "Zhang Jian escaped, Zhang Jian escaped!" ”

When Shen Zhezi heard this, his spirit was also lifted. Because of the prevalence of the current military system, only in that kind of large-scale national battle will there be a long confrontation between large armies, and a battle of this scale, once the main general retreats from the battle, it can be said that it is doomed to failure.

The main general is not only the most elite force of an army, but also the spiritual core of the entire team. Shen Zhezi also has a certain understanding of the tactics of the Liyang Army. Whenever the two armies face each other, it is often the brave general who leads the most elite troops to cut the opponent's Chinese army, and the other troops then cover up, if the enemy's Chinese army cannot resist the offensive, it will be defeated!

In the early years, Wang Han's army of tens of thousands was directly crushed by Su Jun. Earlier, the Su Guard Army, which was responsible for resisting the Liyang Army outside Jiankang City, almost all of the main generals were killed in the battle array, and the reason was mostly related to this.

Compared with the fighting style of the militia, because the Wuzhong Righteous Army did not have a unified command for a long time, each master led each family to fight separately. Local skirmishes can be advantageous, but once assembled as an army, defeat is almost assured. This is also a matter of different geographical backgrounds, which in turn affects specific fighting styles and tactical issues.

Therefore, in this battle, Shen Zhezi also discussed with the generals for a long time before finally formulating the next tactic that was so dull that it was almost ridiculous. The forward rushed straight, the Chinese army slowly advanced behind the cover, and those who left the battle without permission were killed on the spot! It was such a rigid tactic that stabilized the formation of the Dongyang Army and played a miraculous effect in such an environment of heavy rain and seriously obstructed vision.

"Zhang Jian is dead, don't kill him!"

The soldiers shouted slogans again and swept across the battlefield, and the intensity of resistance was noticeably reduced wherever they went. More and more of the Liyang army lost their blades and lay down in the mud.

At this time, Xu Mao's forward team was closely chasing after the fleeing Zhang Jian's troops. Xu Mao also knew that the most important thing at the moment was not to kill the enemy, but to drive the enemy, to drive Zhang Jian away from the battlefield, and not to give the other party a chance to turn back.

"Whoever kills Zhang Jian, he will be awarded the title of fifth-class knight!"

Hundreds of Dongyang Army forwards chased all the way, letting the rain wash over their bodies, they were the strongest to withstand the intensity of the battle, but the fiery state of mind of the first victory dispelled the fatigue of the whole body, and they never gave up the goal ahead.

At this time, Zhang Jianjian still had hundreds of parts, but he turned to the most elite lineage force in the north and south, and he may not be without the strength to fight. However, now that the will to fight has been lost, no matter how stubborn resistance is, it may not be able to turn the tide of the war. What worries Zhang Jian even more is that although he has besieged Daye Pass for a long time, he has never had an accurate concept of the strength of Daye Pass.

In fact, he had the idea of retiring very early, because the Great Cause Pass was not something that his current forces could take at all. However, the lord strictly ordered him to hold the eastern defensive line, and Zhang Jian could only hold on and wait for reinforcements.

However, a heavy rain came suddenly, and before reinforcements arrived, his heavy grain and grass were gone. Forced to withdraw the army, he is also gambling, betting on the lack of defenders, or the defenders dare not fight, as long as he can fight for a day to retreat to Jurong, he can calmly arrange, and there are no hidden worries.

However, the sharp reaction of the defenders of the Great Cause and the urgency of seeking war were beyond Zhang Jian's usual experience. In particular, the Dongyang Army's well-equipped and even fearless momentum made Zhang Jian deeply shocked and moved.

ran all the way to death, and after a long time, the rain gradually stopped, and the chasing team in the rear finally disappeared. And Zhang Jian and the hundreds of parts around him have been embarrassed to the extreme, and there are many people who throw away their armor in order to run faster, and even run barefoot.

In a bay where the water was slightly gentle, Zhang Jian and the others stopped. Seeing the only remaining soldiers around him, Zhang Jian really felt like crying without tears, since crossing the river, he has not suffered such a big defeat, and he was chased like a lost dog!

Not to mention the thousands of people, even his most descendant family soldiers have lost more than half. Compared with the former, the latter made him feel more heartache, and these elite, brave and loyal family soldiers are the real reliance on which he can stand in the world. The battle without half of them really made his heart twist like a knife, and he was angry and angry, and he was planted in the mud as soon as it was dark!

"Lord!"

Seeing this, those soldiers rushed forward to help Zhang Jian up, and after a long time, Zhang Jian slowly opened his eyes, and after a moment of confusion, he revealed bitter hatred: "Cross the river!" Guan and Hong are two thieves who have trapped me here, and it is difficult to eliminate my hatred if I don't kill them! ”

The two thieves in his mouth are the Liyang Ministry Managers and Honghui who are responsible for supporting him, if it weren't for the fact that these two people didn't arrive, even if they couldn't hold on, he would never have suffered such a fiasco!

――――――

Although the torrential rain has stopped, the weather is still gloomy, with scattered raindrops falling from time to time, and the sky and the earth are damp.

Two days had passed since that battle, but there were still many corpses soaked in the mud on the battlefield. In the morning, the people in the direction of Daye Pass arrived here and began to clean up the battlefield and count the results.

The materials captured in this battle were almost negligible, the food was only a few dozen hundreds, and the broken ordnance baggage was discarded on the ground like garbage. Not to mention the extravagant equipment of the Dongyang Army, even the original defenders of Daye Pass were disdainful of it.

After the battle, the Dongyang army was stationed on a high place and rested for a while. The intensity of the battle in the rainstorm was so strong that there were many troubles for the enemy and for me. As soon as the battle ended, Shen Zhezi hurriedly ordered someone to send a batch of medicinal supplies to Daye Pass.

Over the past two days, many of the soldiers have suffered from rhinornose and colds of varying severity. Especially those who have been traumatized on the battlefield, there is no lack of wound infections and high fevers, and dozens of wounded have died as a result.

Witnessing too many lives and deaths, Shen Zhezi still couldn't be indifferent, racked his brains to think about the little physiological maintenance knowledge in his mind, personally supervised and even rescued these wounded, but felt more limited manpower. Seeing the wounded who were lucky not to die on the battlefield one by one spilling their blood and passing away suddenly due to the torture of injuries and diseases, my heart was even heavier.

In order not to disturb the wounded and to avoid affecting the morale of the post-victory, the sick and wounded were moved to a separate clean camp. It wasn't until a large number of doctors entered the camp that Shen Zhezi left here and began to sort out the battle report.

This battle was a well-deserved victory, Zhang Jian's remnants fled, and almost all the rest were inevitable. More than 1,000 enemies were killed on the battlefield, and more prisoners were captured. In addition to the Liyang rebels, there were still a large number of people who were coerced, some died on the battle array, some fled to all sides, and more than 1,000 were captured after surrendering on the battlefield alone.

In the war report prepared to communicate with Jingkou Xingtai, Shen Zhezi made these folk husbands separate and did not belong to the prisoners of war. Although the results of the battle will be reduced in this way, Shen Zhezi still can't bear to inflict harm on these Danyang villagers again. Once classified as prisoners of war, it means that these people are the remnants of the Liyang rebels, not only will it be difficult to return to their homeland, but they will also be treated as criminals in the future and suffer heavy labor and oppression, and there is no hope in this life.

Although these civilians were lucky enough not to be listed as prisoners of war, there was no place to settle them at the moment, so they had to be sheltered first, and then repatriated to their respective homelands after the war. As soon as they were rescued, some of them cried and begged for the rebel prisoners to be killed.

Shen Zhezi turned a deaf ear to such requests. He is willing to give these people goodwill, but it does not mean that he will be their instrument of revenge. These soldiers of the Liyang Army are all battle-hardened, and as long as they are reorganized and recuperate, they can continue to fight as a strong force. Even if you don't serve as a soldier, you can distribute it among the countryside after fighting, and it is an extremely rare labor force. Especially after this turmoil, Jiangdong will inevitably be greatly injured, and there are enough people who have died, and there is really no reason to kill manpower again.

Although the results of the battle were amazing, the Dongyang army also paid a great price, and the battle losses were mainly concentrated in Xu Mao's vanguard battalion, with more than 400 people killed. The loss of other battalions and the reduction of wounded and sick after the war, the Dongyang Army also paid nearly 1,000 lives!

This is the price to be paid for war, especially for the Dongyang Army. They were pinned on high hopes by the people of Wuzhongxiang, and at the beginning of the army, they defeated the Liyang army that shocked the entire Jiangdong in the name of bravery, and achieved the first great victory since the Liyang rebellion! After this battle, no one can underestimate the fear of the Wu people anymore, they did not live up to the trust of the villagers, and made a prestige with their flesh and blood!

The victory of this battle, if we focus on the present, is to cripple the Eastern Route Army of the Liyang Division, save the situation that has been in decline for too long, and make the entire situation of counterinsurgency cheerful. And in the longer run, it is the confidence of the Wu people, they are not the real masters of this land, and they are willing to defend the land with flesh and blood!
