"That's a ...... I never thought of it.'"

At the edge of Yanshui, Chen Shi, the military lieutenant of Yanling, had in his mind an emotion that was very similar to that of Bailiba, the general of the Junshui Battalion.

Three days ago, he Chen Shi was ordered by Zhao Hongrun, the king of Su, to lead 5,000 Yanling soldiers to the upper reaches of Yanshui to build a dam, and he realized at that time that this move by His Royal Highness the King of Su would make a hole in the defense of Yanling, causing the Chu army on the south bank of Yanshui to forcibly cross the river to attack Yanling.

In fact, he guessed correctly, because he had only led his troops to leave Yanling for three days, and the 60,000 Chu army vanguards on the south bank of Yanshui had successfully crossed Yanshui.

However, he guessed the beginning, but not the ending.

Chen Shi originally thought that the insistence of the king of Su would cause Yanling to fall, causing a large area of the Great Wei to be invaded by the Chu army, but he never thought that what he was waiting for was not a request for help from Yanling, but the rout of the entire 60,000 Chu army.

Yes, a rout.

The whole army is defeated!

Even standing on the edge of Yanshui, Chen Shi could clearly see the Chu soldiers who fled to this land of Yanshui like a tide in the distance, and clearly saw the horror on their faces, as well as the mighty and majestic army of the Junshui Battalion chasing behind them.

"What a shame ......

Chen Shi's face unconsciously showed a look of shame.

A few days ago, because he had successfully blocked several battles of the Chu army crossing the river, even he couldn't help but start thinking that if His Royal Highness King Su did not reuse him, it would be the biggest cause of the fall of Yanling and the capture of the country by the Chu army.

But as a result, His Royal Highness King Su almost wiped out the 60,000 Chu army vanguards!

Chen Shi didn't want to use the reinforcements of the Junshui Battalion as an excuse, because he knew that even if he received the support of the Junshui Battalion, at best, he would only use this army to defend Yanling, and would not make this decision to lure the enemy deep and ambush the enemy's counter-defense into attack.

He finally realized that this was the biggest difference between him and His Royal Highness King Su: his mind was full of thinking about how to defend Yanling, while His Royal Highness King Su was thinking about annihilating the enemy army that had invaded the country.

One "defends", one "takes the initiative", and makes a judgment!

"Ahem! …… Chen Wuwei, it's not good to lose your mind at this time. ”

Beside him, there was a reminder that was not salty or light.

Chen Shi turned his head to look at the man and smiled self-deprecatingly.

He recognized these people, they were the Zongwei beside His Royal Highness King Su, Zhang Biao, Li Meng, Fang Shuo and others, it was precisely because of these people who summoned the news in the name of King Su that he led his army down Yanshui and cut off the return route of the Chu army.

"That's it...... Now, let's do our duty!'

Taking a deep breath, Chen Shi adjusted his mood and concentrated on dealing with the battle in front of him.

Shouldering the heavy responsibility of cutting off the return route of the Chu army, to be honest, Chen Shi and the nearly 5,000 Yanling soldiers under his command were under great pressure, after all, those Chu troops who fled back from Yanling were defeated, and if they wanted to return to the south bank of Yanshui alive, they had to rely on the three pontoon bridges he was currently defending.

Unless these people are desperate to jump into Yanshui for the sake of a glimmer of possibility.

Because of this, at present, Chen Shi and his nearly 5,000 Yanling soldiers can be described as the mortal enemies of these Chu soldiers trying to survive.

In this case, it is indeed very difficult to hold on to the three pontoon bridges.

They have nearly 5,000 Yan Ling soldiers, and at this moment they are like a small boat in the ocean, facing the Chu army of 30,000 or 40,000, and the situation is precarious, as if they will be overturned at any time.

Fortunately, the rout of the Chu army gave Chen Shi and the nearly 5,000 Yanling soldiers under his command strong confidence, after all, it was a beating of the water dogs, no matter how dangerous the situation was, their hearts were still full of confidence in victory.

What they are thinking about now is not how to defeat the Chu army, but how to cooperate with the friendly army of the Junshui battalion in the rear, eat the 60,000 Chu army pioneers in one go, and fight a great victory that is enough to inspire people and win the battle!

Of course, as for the Chu soldiers who forcibly fled to the south bank when they successfully seized the pontoon bridge, Chen Shi and the others were beyond their reach.

However, they didn't care, after all, there were only hundreds of Chu soldiers who fled, which didn't matter to the entire battle situation.

It is undeniable that the Chu army is indeed crazy in order to survive, but Chen Shi and his nearly 5,000 Yanling soldiers are like three nails, nailed to the edge of the three pontoon bridges.

If in peacetime, as many as 30,000 or 40,000 defeated Chu troops on the north bank of Yanshui can eat this force without much effort, but at the moment, due to the approach of the Wei soldiers of the Junshui camp behind them, where do those Chu soldiers still have the mind to entangle with Chen Shijun.

Seeing that the pontoon bridge had been lost, the Chu soldiers, who were becoming more and more frantic in order to survive, jumped off the Yanshui one after another, trying to swim to the opposite bank.

I have to say that this is a rather spectacular scene, only to see the dense Chu soldiers on the north bank of Yanshui, scrambling to jump into Yanshui, from a bird's-eye view, the water surface is full of dense black spots.

And at this moment, a turbulent water suddenly surged down from the upper reaches of Yanshui, and it actually washed those Chu soldiers in the water into the downstream.

"Did you catch up?"

Chen Shi subconsciously glanced in the direction of the upstream.

Digging a dam and releasing water is not an instruction given by Zhao Hongrun, but Chen Shi's own judgment.

After all, Zhao Hongrun didn't think that just two or three days of water storage could bring any lethality to the Chu army.

Of course, the main reason was that he didn't think that Chen Shi could build a dam in one day, after all, Chen Shi was very resistant to building a dam upstream at that time, so he didn't take this dam into account, and simply used the "dam" as a bait to lure the Chu army to cross the river and attack.

I'm afraid Zhao Hongrun didn't expect that Chen Shi would complete the dam construction within one day.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this is not surprising, after all, Chen Shi subjectively judged that Zhao Hongrun's transfer of him from Yanling would definitely cause Yanling to fall, so he hoped to build a dam as soon as possible and was ready to support Yanling at any time.

As for why the dam had to be built, it was because Chen Shi felt that his refusal to hand over the military power a while ago had made the Su King prejudiced against him, so only after completing the tasks assigned by His Royal Highness the Su King could he wait for the opportunity to do something else.

However, obviously Chen Shi didn't expect that the dam he built with his subordinates three days ago with his anger and anger had a good effect when intercepting the Chu army.

It's unpredictable.

Due to the opening of the dam in the upper reaches of Yanshui to release water, the water level in this area has risen sharply, and the water potential is much more turbulent than before, although it is far less than Yanshui during the flood season, but it is enough to frighten those Chu soldiers who try to swim across the river from Yanshui.

"What to do? What to do?'

For a while, almost all Chu soldiers were thinking about this issue.

There are obstacles in front and pursuers in the back, and now they are simply in a desperate situation of being attacked by the enemy, and what makes them desperate is that the Wei soldiers of the Junshui battalion behind them refuse to pity and pity them at all, and drive the two hundred terrifying chariots that can be called fortresses, lined up in a straight line, trying to drive them all down Yanshui.

"Ahh

"Ahhh

Thousands of Chu soldiers were unfortunately squeezed into Yanshui due to Tongze's pushing, screaming in horror, and were washed downstream, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.

Seeing this scene, the Chu soldiers closest to the river bank squeezed back in fear, but behind them, two hundred chariots slowly advanced while the crossbowmen in the carriages above fired crossbow arrows, shooting the Chu soldiers closest to them one by one.

Although there were still 30,000 Chu soldiers on the north bank of Yanling, they were simply 30,000 animals waiting to be slaughtered, and they had no fighting spirit at all.

The fate that awaited them, in addition to being shot by the Wei soldiers of the Junshui battalion, was forced into Yanshui by the convoy.

This scene, even the general of the Junshui Battalion Bailiba, was a little unbearable in his heart.

But he can't bear it, and the general orders he issued will not be changed.

After all, it is a very troublesome thing to accept the prisoners of the Chu army, you must know that in the Chu State, the status of civilians is extremely low, and the treatment of having noble blood and not having noble blood is completely different, even if Wei captures these Chu soldiers, it is impossible for Chu to redeem these soldiers by ransom in the future, and Chu will only redeem the generals in the army, as well as the nobles of the Xiong clan, such as Xiong Hu, the king of Pingyu.

As for these ordinary Chu soldiers, the state of Chu has a population, and they don't care at all.

The soldiers are gone, just recruit again, after all, the territory of Chu is four times that of Wei!

Why spend a lot of money to redeem a group of soldiers who have lost a battle?

In other words, even if Wei accepted this group of Chu soldiers, it was destined to get nothing in return, but would have to take the rations for the prisoners, settle them, and send people to guard them.

It is impossible to let them go back, after all, releasing the captives is tantamount to helping the Chu State in disguise, but it is useless to keep them, in this case, it is better to simply kill them all, and it will be a hundred.

Thinking of this, Bailiba did not hesitate to give a cruel order: to rout the 30,000 Chu troops and drive them all to Yanshui!

And just then, a voice stopped him.

"That's it!"

"......" Baili glanced back in amazement, and unexpectedly saw that Zhao Hongrun, with Wang Shu, Ma Zhang, and several Zongwei, had already rushed up.

"His Royal Highness King Su ......" Baili Ba threw the long-handled saber in his hand to the guards beside him, hugged his fists, frowned and asked, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" ”

I saw Zhao Hongrun riding a war horse forward, glanced at the miserable situation of those Chu soldiers, shook his head and said: "Our army has won this battle, and if we continue to kill it, it will just be a massacre." …… That's it! ”

Bailiba frowned and reminded: "Your Highness, I think that keeping prisoners at this time is just a needless increase in the burden on our army. …… For the sake of the overall situation, I can't obey my fate! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun raised his head and glanced at Baili Bao with a calm face: "That's it!" …… These captives, this king is useful! ”

Although his words were very calm, his tone was irrefutable.

『……』

Baili Ba's tiger eyes narrowed, and he suddenly said with a smile: "Isn't Your Highness going to use the Golden Order for these people?" …… According to a certain speculation, His Royal Highness only has one golden order left in his hand. ”

"Huh." Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips: "I'm sorry, the last one, this king has already used it." ”

"Huh?"

Bailiba couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he glanced at Zhao Hongrun deeply, and the latter also looked at him indifferently.

After staring at each other for a moment, Bailiba chuckled lightly and slowly moved his position to the side.

This is a message that implies compromise and concession.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun paced forward a few steps on his war horse, took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Order the whole army, don't kill if you fall!" ”

The nearby Junshui battalion will hear this voice, and then they will start shouting to persuade them to surrender.

"Lay down your arms, don't kill those who descend!"

"Lay down your arms, don't kill those who descend!"

"Lay down your arms, don't kill those who descend!"

Hearing the persuasion of the Wei soldiers of the Junshui Battalion to surrender, the more than 30,000 Chu troops who were crowded together were desperate, and many people cried bitterly.

"The coercion of those eyes...... It doesn't look like a fourteen-year-old child.'"

Baili Ba silently observed His Royal Highness King Su, and for the first time, he felt that the "king name" that Wei Tianzi had given for this eighth prince was appropriate.

Sue, don't be angry, but mighty!
