Chapter 275: Two-legged sheep

After Tao Leopard led his troops away, the owner of the water camp, who had already reached the center of the river, risked great danger and ordered the boat to turn back and sail towards the ferry.

"General Han, General Han." The sailor camp master boarded the ferry, hugged Han Qian's body, and shed tears.

Several soldiers carried the bodies of Han Qian, Chen Xiong, and several important generals onto the boat, and then sailed to the south bank of the river again.

On the small boat, Han Qian's body was placed at the front of the deck, and the rescued little girl squatted down to help the sailor camp master clean up the arrows on Han Qian's body.

There are tears in her eyes, heroes deserve everyone's respect, especially women, and they are full of infinite worship for heroes, which is nature and can never be changed.

It's just that she doesn't understand why the big hero in front of her only saves her and her grandfather, of course, she will never understand that the reason for this qiē is just because she looks like someone.

In Liyang City, the granary of the Jin army was surrounded by raging fires, and Shi Hu, the king of Zhao State, and the generals under his command looked at the flames burning in front of them, and their chests were filled with anger.

"Your Majesty, the last general has completely annihilated the Jin army and killed Han Qian at the Liyang Ferry." The peach leopard rushed into the city and proudly reported his merits to Shi Hu.

"Okay, well done, Han Qian is dead, and this king has one less henchman, hahaha!" Shi Hu couldn't help laughing, as if he had completely left the fact that the granary was destroyed in front of him completely out of his mind.

Peach Leopard smelled that it was food that was burning, and he had already guessed that before Han Qian withdrew from Liyang, he ordered his subordinates to light the grain and grass, and he was really shocked, and said: "Your Majesty, Han Qian burned the granary, we failed to grab the grain, and the army ran out of food, how is this good!" ā€

Shi Hu raised his eyes and looked around, and many of the generals under his command showed worried looks.

"Your Majesty, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the army has just run out of food, kill horses to satisfy hunger, quickly retreat to the north, cross the Huaishui, and our army will be safe."

"Yes! Your Majesty, the 30,000 reinforcements of the Northern Expeditionary Army have arrived in Quanjiao City, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and it is advisable to withdraw quickly! ā€

All the generals are building yƬ as much as possible and retreating.

Shi Hu glared angrily and scolded: "It's nonsense, military horses are used for fighting, how can they cook, besides, our army has been attacking the city for several days, and the soldiers are already exhausted. ā€

"Your Majesty, but our army has run out of food, and one more day of delay will be more dangerous." Peach Leopard persuaded.

Shi Hu smiled fiercely at the corner of his mouth, looked at the generals under his command, and said in a dark voice: "Han Qian thought that if he burned the granary, our army would have to starve to death, but he didn't know that there were 'two-legged sheep' inside and outside Liyang City, which was enough for our army to eat, hahaha!" ā€

"What does the king mean?" Peach Leopard instantly understood Shi Hu's intentions.

Shi Hu nodded and shouted loudly: "Order, the three soldiers and horses will act immediately, and within a radius of twenty miles from Liyang City, none of the people of the Jin Kingdom will be left." ā€

"The last will obey." The generals under Shi Hu's command are all Hu people, and they are no strangers to eating 'two-legged sheep'.

As soon as Shi Hu's order came out, the people around Liyang City suffered, regardless of men, women, old and children, they were all driven into Liyang City by the soldiers of Zhao State, and then they were killed uniformly, cooking, especially the women were the most miserable, before being killed, they were often humiliated and died.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the vast majority of the people had fled to Jiangnan before the bloody battle of Jin and Zhao in Liyang City, and the rest of the people were old and weak and unwilling to leave their hometowns.

In the first battle of Liyang, Shi Hu's subordinates died as high as 10,000, at this time he still had 50,000 Longteng guards in his hands, and the people captured from the vicinity of Liyang City were less than 1,000, and from Liyang City to the north of the Huai River, it would take seven or eight days to travel at the earliest.

For this reason, Shi Hu once again ordered that the corpses of the soldiers killed in the Battle of Liyang, as well as the corpses of the people of the Jin Kingdom who were killed, be put into boiling water and boiled.

In order to reduce the burden and increase food, Shi Hu even ordered the seriously injured soldiers to be killed, and at the same time, dozens of dancing girls who accompanied the army were also cooked and killed to make delicious delicacies for Shi Hu himself and several confidants.

In the evening, in Quanjiao City, nearly 30,000 soldiers of Hua'an and the Northern Expeditionary Army were resting, and the soldiers of the baggage battalion were busy preparing dinner.

"Big brother, Liyang City is only one day's journey away, and you can set off early tomorrow morning and arrive at Liyang City in the evening." Wang San sat next to Hua An, pointed to the map in his hand, and said.

"I heard that Shihu has an army of 50,000 or 60,000, and tomorrow will be a bloody battle! Ha ha! "Thunderstorm was a little excited.

"I can finally kill a big fight, I have been resting for a few days, and my hands are itchy." The Iron Bull chimed in.

Hua An looked up in the direction of Liyang City and was silent, he always felt that something seemed to be going on in Liyang City.

"Drive, drive, drive......" a scout sent out, galloped back.

"How's it going?" Hua An hurriedly got up and greeted him.

The scout turned over and dismounted, and reported what happened in Liyang City to Hua'an.

Knowing that Liyang was lost, his teacher was killed in battle, and Shi Hu slaughtered the people, Hua'an was completely angry, and he couldn't wait to immediately lead the army to Liyang City to find Shi Hu to settle accounts.

"Big brother, Thunderstorm is willing to be the vanguard, send troops!"

"Big brother, our army raided Liyang overnight to avenge the general."

"Such a big revenge, you can't help but revenge, recapture Liyang, and kill Shihu."

Most of the generals were angry, and they all advocated sending troops.

Hua An took a few deep breaths, calmed down and thought about countermeasures, he was very clear about the fortification of Liyang City, and he was also well aware of the combat power of Han Qian's 10,000 Northern Expeditionary Army, but he didn't know much about the tens of thousands of Longteng guards under Shi Hu's command.

Han Qian is a famous general of the Great Jin Dynasty, and he has a strong city, facing Shi Hu's tens of thousands of dragon guards, he only held out for more than a month, which is enough to show the strength of the tens of thousands of dragon guards under Shi Hu's command.

At this time, Shi Hu occupied the fortified city, holding 50,000 Longteng guards in his hands, Hua'an believed that if he attacked rashly, he would definitely end up defeated and killed, so not only could he not take revenge, but he lost himself.

Hua An thought about it again and again, and decided to stand still for the time being, wait for the opportunity, and fight a bloody battle with the main force of the Zhao army.

"Big brother, what are you still thinking, send troops! I can't swallow this breath. Iron Bull gasped and urged.

"Big brother, the mourning soldiers will win, and our army will definitely be able to break the stone tiger." Zhao Wu also encouraged Hua'an.

Hua An looked up at Wang San, who hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head and said he had no opinion.

This made Hua'an difficult, and his subordinates were anxious to fight, and if he blindly avoided the war, it would be difficult to convince his subordinates.

"The military law of the Great Jin Dynasty, the main general is at fault, and the three armies are filial piety." Hua'an reported the military law of the Great Jin Dynasty, and then ordered: "The generals listened to the order, overnight to buy white flags and white armor, filial piety crowns and filial piety robes, early tomorrow morning, the three armies and horses, rushed to Liyang, to avenge the generals and the people." ā€
