0783 Slaves cannibalize

Although the scale of the slave camps on the west bank of the vortex mouth is not as large as that on the east bank, there are more than 10,000 troops stationed along the coast, scattered throughout the coast. In particular, in the north, a few miles away from Huaishui, three camps are stationed here, because the whirlpool channel is narrowed here, and several floating trusses are built on the water surface to connect the east and west and transport the resources of the soldiers.

Previously, there was a fierce battle on the river, and many soldiers fled to the camp on the west bank, crashing into various defensive facilities on the water. Especially when the Huainan Middle Route Army arrived at the battlefield and shouted the news that the slave master Shi Le was dead, the scene became even more chaotic, and the soldiers gathered around the familiar commanders, shouting and asking questions frequently. Those commanders didn't know much about the military compared to the cold soldiers, and even if they had the heart to ask the generals, they couldn't get away because they were surrounded by soldiers.

Several of the barracks were in disarray, and there were no clear instructions on whether the terrified soldiers were to stay and continue the fight, or whether they should cross the camp and disperse in a hurry.

The reason why the scene has become so chaotic is also due to the poor command of the slave generals guarding the town. There were also seven or eight generals in the slave army on the west bank, the most important of which were Shi Hu's henchman Li Su and Xiongnu Tu Geyi from the leader Liu Xian.

Before the war, Li Sue received a military order to control the soldiers on the west bank as much as possible, so as not to disperse them in a hurry. However, his people are only from Shi Huyi, and the new generals have not much of their own subordinates, and they have little prestige in the slave army. When the situation had not collapsed before, he could still use the prestige of the King of Zhongshan to restrain the generals and soldiers.

However, with the defeat of the slave army killed on the river, Liu Zheng, the slave general of Xuzhou, was even more coerced to flee directly from the battle, and the slave generals in the camps on the west bank were also shocked and suspicious, and the first thing they thought of was to gather their cronies and subordinates and gather together to protect themselves. Even if Li Sue had another military order, he would directly ignore it.

At first, Li Su was still trying to reverse the situation, but the impact of the rout, combined with the chaos of the camp itself, made the situation even more out of control. When he personally entered the camp to deter the chaotic crowd, he was almost held hostage by two slave generals to ask for details and the specific plans of the King of Zhongshan.

It was not easy for them to break free, and they were also apprehensive, and they did not dare to rush into the camp again, so they simply took the 2,000 people of their headquarters out of the camp, and gathered around several slave camps, wanting to force the slave soldiers to stay inside and not to leave the camp.

He also had no choice but to do so, because when the Huainan Middle Route Army arrived at the battlefield, the exchanges between the east and west sides of the vortex came to an abrupt end, and Li Su could no longer accept military orders from the king of Zhongshan on the east bank. The reason for this was not that the pontoon girders used for communication were destroyed, but the focus of the Huainan Army's attack at this time was still the camp where the king of Zhongshan was located on the east bank, and only a few warships were sent around the camp to attack on the west bank.

What really cut off the connection between the two slave armies was the Tu soldiers who defended the three camps on the floating truss.

Liu Xiannian, the leader of Tu Ge, was in his early thirties, and he seemed to be no different from the Jin people, and there were no obvious Hu Zhong characteristics. At that time, the Xiongnu had been attached for a long time, especially as the largest branch of the five Xiongnu, Tu Ge, who had long gotten rid of many tribal habits, and the upper magnates had been sinicized for a long time. Even when Han Zhao and Liu Yuanhai were in turmoil, they declared that they were directly committed to Shu Han.

Liu Xian was also born in the Tu major sect and a distant relative of the Han and Zhao royal families. After the fall of Liu Yao in Guanzhong, he led his headquarters and a part of the remnants of Han Zhao to surrender to Shi Zhao, retaining a considerable part of his strength while maintaining considerable autonomy. Even earlier, in the kingdom of Qian, Zhao Zhu Shile personally divided an area as the habitat of these slaughterers. Of course, preferential treatment is preferential treatment, and vigilance is also essential, Liu Xian's troops are tens of thousands, and this time he led the army as a righteous servant to help the war There are nearly 5,000 people, which is a very powerful part of Zhu Hu Yi, but it has always been difficult to know the secrets of military affairs.

However, due to the unfavorable war before, Shi Hu also had to rely on the strong military leaders among these Hu people, so Liu Xian also wantonly embezzled those miscellaneous Hu small troops, and the army became even stronger. Previously, he took the initiative to ask Ying to guard the west bank of the vortex, and Shi Hu was also worried that his stay in the Chinese army would be a hidden variable, so he agreed.

Previously, the Huainan army shouted along the river to break the heart of the slave army, and Tu Ge was fortunate to be listed as a traitor who must be killed along with Qianhu, so Liu Xian's department did not have the wavering heart of other Zahu. Moreover, some of the Tu Geyi servants who originally did not belong to Liu Xian also took the initiative to take refuge because of fear, so now Liu Xian's eight or nine thousand people are all displayed on the west bank of the whirlpool.

When the slaves on the river fled, Liu Xian made a quick decision and led his descendants to directly control the whirlpool float. Not long after, there were messengers on the floating truss who rushed over, all of whom were carried out by the slaughtering soldiers, and were escorted to Liu Xian, and under some torture, Liu Xian learned more about Shi Hu's intentions.

"Shi Jilong recalled Li Su, but the order did not involve our department. Hmph, the dog thief is discerning from relatives, and it seems that he intends to abandon our army here and return to the palace! ”

When Liu Xian said this, his eyes were already flashing with fierce light, and he sneered: "Hu Nu is so disregarding the military, it should be a hot heart, it seems that what the Nanren said is true, Shilong should indeed be dead, this dog thief wants to peep into the throne so much!" He didn't even reveal anything about such an important secret to me before, it's really hateful! ”

Speaking of hatred, Liu Xian was already excited, and with a loud shout in his mouth, he slashed and beheaded several Qihu heralds.

However, no matter how angry and indignant he was, Liu Xian knew very well that the situation of the thousands of men and horses under his command was dire. In Shi Hu's place, his men and horses are already abandoned, even if they retreat to the other side, there is no good result, and in the Huainan army, they are also the same as the Qianhu people, and they are bound to be attacked. But once he started a vicious battle with the Huainan army, he was in Shi Hu's arms, and he wanted to use the lives of his subordinates to pave a bloody way home for Shi Hu, which Liu Xian couldn't bear no matter what!

At this time, Liu Xian's subordinates also said: "The lord of the world is the pillar of the country, and if his people die, China will surely rise again, and those who have aspirations will compete bravely at that time!" The lord is a nobleman in the ministry, far from being comparable to the Shi family's miscellaneous Hu humble households, and at this time he should no longer serve the Shi family, if he can return to the old country of Guanzhong, and order the loyal and righteous elders, he will be able to create a great creation! ”

How could Liu Xian not understand this truth, but the problem is that he must also be able to go to Chengguanzhong! The Huainan Army's offensive was so rapid, even Shi Hu, who had been prepared for a long time, did not dare to withdraw easily because of its rapid offensive, and now he hastily decided that if he rashly led the people to retreat, under the Huainan Army's exhaustive attack, the troops would fall apart in an instant and disperse into the wilderness. Even if he can be spared, but the people are all scattered, what can he do in the future!

"In troubled times, human life is the least compassionate. In the year of Shi Shilong, eighteen horses crisscrossed Hebei, and he was still able to create a great cause. The lord is a huge family in the clan, and my clan is not a clan of the widows, as long as we can reach the old country, there are infinite heroes and righteous people in our clan who can be called! ”

Compared with Liu Xian's hesitation, his subordinates were much more agitated, and took the initiative to abandon the army and flee, first saving their lives and then starting a new business in Guanzhong.

Liu Xian was still a little hesitant, after all, he had gathered nearly 10,000 people here, and if he really threw it away, it would be really a pain like cutting his heart. But at this time, the battle ensued, first the slave camp on the other side had been broken through, the slaves began to flee in a big way, and the Huainan military boats on the river also turned and began to launch a fierce attack on the camp on the west bank. At the same time, scouts reported that a large array of enemy vehicles had appeared in the night to the west, and they were marching towards the camp defense.

"Shi Jilong dog thief trapped me, I will take revenge in the future!"

Liu Xian also knew that the military situation was urgent, and he must no longer hesitate, if he was really besieged here by the Huainan army, he would not only have to pay a greater price at that time, but it was also unknown whether he could get out of trouble.

So he immediately ordered the generals to gather and proclaimed: "The slave master Shilong was originally a usurper thief, and he took away my Liu family's national industry to enrich himself. Now that he has been killed, he is being destroyed by God! All the warriors of my old country, don't sacrifice your life for the thief! The remnants of the Jin Southern Thieves and the Kingdom of Jin attacked each other, and they had nothing to do with our clan, and now they don't have to die for a boring battle. The armies have taken me as their target, and we will fend for ourselves and return to the old country! ”

After that, he gathered more than 2,000 people from his lineage, gathered the war horses in the camp, each with light weapons, and rushed out of the camp and rushed straight to the north in the night. Not long after, the rest of the slaves in the battalions also heard the news, and they had no heart to hold on, and fled across the camp one after another. For a time, the entire west bank of the vortex, the wilderness was full of fleeing people!

Li Su's more than 2,000 rangers gradually felt that the situation was becoming more and more uncontrollable, and he had not received the military order of the Zhongshan King on the east bank for a long time, and he was also worried in his heart. However, halfway through the journey, he suddenly saw a large number of slaughtering soldiers in the barracks rushing out.

Liu Xian was already fleeing with hatred, and he was extremely resentful in his heart, and when he bumped into Shi Hu, a close general, he clenched the reins and shouted violently: "Kill!" Not a single one to stay! ”

After receiving the chariots and weapons sent by the vanguard naval army, Xiao Yuandong's headquarters of the Huainan Army immediately went to the slave camp on the west bank of the vortex. However, the speed of the chariot is really slow, far less fast than the speed of the navy boats, and the mid-road sailors have all arrived at the vortex battlefield, and their Huainan army is still nearly half a distance away from the western camp of the slave army, and it will arrive at the battlefield before dawn at the earliest.

However, when the car formation had moved some distance further, there was a chaotic commotion ahead. Xiao Yuandong didn't dare to slack off, and even if he ordered to slow down, the chariot formed a formation and slowly moved forward.

Soon, there were a large number of slave army routs in the night, all of them shouted that they could not form a formation, and they fled in the wilderness without knowing the direction, and there were also many routs who directly collided with the Huainan army vehicle formation, and even if they were killed in front.

"It's a pity, it's a pity!"

Although the slaves had been defeated, the chariots were limited by the lack of mobility and could not carry out large-scale encirclement and suppression. Xiao Yuandong thought for a while, then ordered the chariot to move slowly, gave up continuing the march, occupied the left near the ground and rushed to wait for the rabbit to reap the battle achievements, and at the same time ordered the scouts in the army to quickly report the battle situation to the cavalry troops who had crossed the Huai to prepare for war on the rear road.
