In Shouchun Town, these days are also extremely busy, and all the troops have been dispatched, not only to maximize the results of the battle, but also to clean up the mess caused by the impact of the flood as soon as possible.

In this area where the two sides are at war, the terrain of Huainan and Huaibei is similar, and Huaibei has suffered the impact of floods, and Huainan is naturally not spared. Although the embankment in Huainan is better than that in Huaibei, and there is no lack of ditches to drain and discharge floodwater, the sudden rise of Huainan water still has caused some adverse effects on Huainan.

The civil side of the realm is still down, and after a round of purges in the process of preparing for the war, there are few people in an area near Huai. However, some fort buildings along the Huai were not spared, especially the already dangerous Kip Stone City, where the waterways were constricted and shaped like a girdle, and when the river rose sharply, it was soon flooded. Although there was no loss to the soldiers, many of the original fort buildings were washed away by the turbulent water, and it was still necessary to hurry up the construction in order to restore the original military function as soon as possible.

And Shouchun City is not spared, although there are Bagong Mountain and Purple Mountain in the north slightly blocking the flow of water, but the water is an important flood channel of Huaishui, directly passing through the city, when the water surges, a part of Shouchun City is also flooded, many sections of the city wall are soaked and collapsed, and it needs to be repaired as soon as possible.

Although there are few injuries of their own, these losses are not worth mentioning compared to the huge gains of this battle.

In this battle, more than 20,000 corpses of slave soldiers were picked up near Yingkou alone, and if you count some of the vastness that were swept away by the flood, the slaves lost at least more than 30,000 people here. Of course, a large part of them were killed on the battlefield, but even if this part of the proportion is deducted, there are at least more than 20,000 soldiers who died directly in the impact of the flood!

Such a large casualty, even if there are nearly 200,000 slave troops here, it is enough to be called a broken muscle and a great loss of vitality. In addition to the corpses of the slaves, in the follow-up sweeping process, the Huainan army captured more than 7,000 slave soldiers. Most of them were undisciplined miscellaneous soldiers and servants who accompanied the army, and as for the real slave soldiers, they probably fled too quickly and did not gain much.

In addition to the capture of prisoners, the other biggest gain is undoubtedly the capture of various weapons. A large number of slave soldiers fled from the camp at night, in addition to the blades with them, the rest of the barracks, cars and other equipment were almost discarded in place, and were naturally captured by the Huainan army, dismantled and transported back to Huainan.

However, the real grain and grass are still too little, because the Yingshui channel has not yet been opened, so a large amount of resources are still concentrated in Chenjun and other places in southern Henan, and they did not come south with the army at the same time. And some of the grain and grass carried by the army were all taken away by the slave army in the rout.

But even so, hundreds of thousands of large ordnance remains, even if one person only discards a wooden staff, it is still the wood of a vast forest!

In addition to the capture, it was the loss of the Huainan army. The casualties were mainly concentrated in the battle of Yingkou defense, and the battle losses on the first day alone were nearly 4,000 people, but the night and the second day of the battle were even harder, especially in the defensive battle during the final period when the camp was broken, which was several times more tragic than before!

Yingkou as the Huainan heavy defense location, the land and water troops are concentrated here more than 20,000 people, the strength is better than Shouchun Town, and the follow-up has successively increased the number of troops to adjust the defense, almost accounting for nearly half of the Huainan Army's total strength. Although these troops were not fully engaged in defensive battles due to the different ministries of the troops, the number of people directly involved in the battle reached more than 17,000.

But when the water poured into Yingkou, the Yingkou defenders who were finally picked up were less than 5,000 people! Among them, the most brave Shengwu army, including the army lord Hurun and his superintendent array, only had more than 500 people left, and everyone was wounded, almost intact!

Such a tragic proportion of casualties is enough to show the cruelty of this battle. The Huainan army was surrounded by tens of thousands of slave soldiers in the Jedi of Yingkou, and the slave soldiers did not recruit prisoners at all in the battle, and Guo Yu in order to complete the mission of the general, the water and land battalions were divided, and the boats and boats on the back road even floated on the river from the shore, not giving the soldiers a choice, and waited until the end of the defense, and then let the boats close to the water row for the soldiers to evacuate, and he personally resisted the rear.

In the end, Guo Yu was exhausted, and because he was too close to be glued by the slave army, he could not get out of the battle and board the ship, and finally he was coerced by the huge waves, because his own soldiers desperately protected, and finally when the Huainan army searched for him on the water, his person had already fainted and was tied to a piece of driftwood to survive.

The battle of Yingkou was too tragic, and the Huainan Army directly lost nearly one-third of its combat effectiveness! This is just the first battle of the Huainan defensive battle, just two days of fighting! If the Huainan Army can't have a big move to control the enemy, Yingkou will be lost, not to mention, the loss of troops and the decline of morale, how the follow-up war will continue, people dare not imagine!

And after this battle, Shen Zhezi finally understood why Shi Hu could gallop across the Central Plains in this world, not necessarily because he was born handsome, but that kind of disregard for human life is really rarely comparable. Such a crazy fierce battle is really outrageous!

This person is not only cruel to the enemy, every time there is no lack of atrocities to slaughter the city, he is also driven by blood, where the array is besieged, the front scattered soldiers are followed by the elite pro-army, swords and guns drive people to fight forward, if the front soldiers can not break through the enemy formation, once they retreat slowly, they will be slaughtered! In this way, even if the defenders kill those who fight for their lives, it will be difficult for them to resist the elite divisions that follow.

This time, the water poured into Yingkou, and Shi Hu could not be killed in the wild, Shen Zhezi did regret it. Although the battle achieved outstanding results and directly uprooted the slave army camp, Shen Zhezi did not dare to relax because of this, on the one hand, he seized the time to renovate the defense, and transferred the successor divisions such as Liangjun and Hefei into the town, and on the other hand, he also sent more rangers to Siye to spy on the movements of the defeated slave army.

This battle, although it temporarily forced the slave army to retreat, greatly boosted morale. However, in addition to the loss of soldiers, there is also the abandonment of Yingkou's heavy defense. The original fortifications were flooded, and the river became wider, and it was difficult to keep the slave boats out of the water.

Moreover, most of the retreat of the slave army was active, although the morale was greatly lost as a result, but the combat effectiveness was not completely damaged. Once it comes, it is still enough to be feared. Therefore, listening to the current movements of the slave army is also an important credential for determining the defensive strategy in the future.

At the same time, Shen Zhezi was also organizing personnel to return to the capital. In any case, this time the water irrigated Yingkou, forced back more than 100,000 slave troops, and captured tens of thousands, which was enough to excite the hearts of Jiangdong people. In addition, the city father won a big victory before, and the number of achievements was combined, and the capital was rewarded. Even if Shen Zhezi himself does not mean to reward the nobles, he also needs to take into account the feelings of the soldiers, especially this time Yingkou is a hard battle, Guo Yu and all the soldiers have made great achievements, if it were not for their hard work to lead the slave soldiers to Yingkou, it is rare to win this time!

Both the living and the dead must be rewarded, so as to boost morale more and facilitate the subsequent war. And these rewards for military exploits have exceeded the authority of Shen Zhezi, the internal history of Huainan, so they must be announced by Taichung.

There are also Guo Yu and other Yingkou wounded, after the injury has stabilized a little, they will also be sent back to Liangjun Houzhen Rong to recuperate from their injuries. Shouchun was still on the front line at this time, and he might have to face a siege and a lot of turmoil in the coming days, which was really not suitable for the wounded to recuperate.

Moreover, the abandonment of Yingkou is related to a large number of adjustments in defense, and many people, grain and grass resources, or to be collected in the city, or sent to Liangjun and Hefei. Therefore, after a short period of euphoria, Shou Chun's civil and military officials soon fell into a more busy preparation for war. It's just that there has been a change in mentality, unlike the previous apprehension in my heart, I can already see the dawn of clinging to victory!

Similar busyness lasted for nearly half a month, and after the slave army retreated in turmoil, the military information was also transmitted back one after another.

Shi Hu fled in horror after the water poured Yingkou, but did not immediately collect the rout in the rear and rectify the ranks, but led thousands of righteous servants to rush straight to the city, taking advantage of the news of the defeat had not yet spread to the rear, the commander of the East Route Army Guo Ao blocked the city in the city, and took his command and dismissed him from his military post in front of the army on the charge of failing to supervise the army, so as to incorporate the East Route Army into the unification, and then sent other troops back to defend Chen County, and defended the water and land in southern Henan. Soon after, the army was defeated by many blockers and Chen, and after a round of iron-blooded purge, the army was concentrated in Mengcheng, Qianjun for rectification.

Guo Ao lost all his crowd, but he didn't dare to openly disobey Shi Hu, so he and Shi Cong died in Pengcheng. And Shi Hu was probably also newly defeated, and did not send people to pursue.

Regarding the latest movements of the Qianhu army, the feedback is very timely, and it is very detailed and detailed, because there are many villagers between Qian and Chen, and there are people from the villagers who come to report. There is even no shortage of villagers who say that Chen County is now the place where the slave army's baggage is stored, but due to the turmoil in the army's heart due to the new defeat, it is not out of the box. If the Huainan Wangshi can send the water army to the north to sneak attack, these villagers are willing to cooperate with the outside and burn the slave army to use it for the king's affairs!

After receiving the letter from Chen Jun, many generals in the Huainan army were overjoyed. If it is said that Shui Guan Yingkou only forced the slave army to retreat and swept away its military prestige, but its strength was not greatly damaged. But if they can sneak attack Chen County and burn all the army food, then hundreds of thousands of slave troops will collapse without a fight, and the crisis of Shouchun can naturally be solved. Although there is no lack of danger in this trip, if it is not for the success of many dangerous encounters, how can it maintain the war until the current situation with the new army and absolute disadvantage!

But in the face of this tempting temptation, Shen Zhezi did not have the determination he had in the past, but became a little hesitant. On the one hand, he was slightly suspicious of the statements of those Chen Jun villagers, and on the other hand, he also doubted whether Shi Hu would leave the obvious omission of Chen Jun for the Huainan army to capture after such a big defeat?

Once the boat goes north and goes deep into Yingshui, there will be no such a wide and navigable state as Huaishang, and it is not difficult for the slave army whose strength has not been greatly damaged to cut off the Yingshui and block the navigation to cut off the back road of the Huainan naval army.

Of course, a large part of the reason why Shen Zhezi hesitated was because he was expecting the slave army to collapse in chaos, and it was not only a sneak attack on the other party's food. If you wait with peace of mind, you can wait for the slave army to become turbulent, so why risk the temptation of a suspected trap?

Of course, it is difficult to explain this point of his mind to the generals. However, soon, the Huainan army no longer had to worry about whether to sneak attack the heavy camp of the Chenjun slave army, and the western slave army Taobao had arrived in Runan and began to storm Rukou.
