"Lu Wen waits for the battle to kill Liu Xun!" Yuan Shu was giving a death order to the Huainan army under the city to rush out of the city, and the cavalry of the Qin army, who he thought must have fallen to death, suddenly turned over and jumped up, jumped in front of the Pu Dao who was carrying the head, lifted the Pu Dao, picked up the shield, blocked the body with the shield, and ran towards the gate of Shouchun City while shouting loudly.

I didn't expect that the cavalry of the Qin army was still alive, standing on the city wall, looking at the cavalry of the Qin army covered in blood, holding a shield in one hand, and running towards the city gate with a Pu knife that provoked people's heads in the other hand, Yuan Shu was also taken aback.

"Your Majesty, it seems that it is really General Liu Xun!" The cavalry of the Qin army ran closer and closer, and Yang Hong could already see the head of the person he picked on the Pu knife, and hurriedly shouted to Yuan Shu.

Listening to Yang Hong's shout, Yuan Shu looked outside the city, and sure enough, he saw that the head of Liu Xun was being carried on the Pu knife in the hands of the Qin soldiers.

Seeing Liu Xun's head, Yuan Shu's heart suddenly tightened, and he secretly shouted: "It's not good!" ”

Liu Xun was killed, and the Huainan army under his command would definitely be annihilated, so that even if the main force rushed out of the city gate, it would still face a fight with the main force of the Qin army, and the possibility of successfully defeating the Qin army was greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shu hurriedly shouted to Yang Hong beside him: "Pass the order, the whole army will return to the city and defend the city gate!" ”

It was also clear in his heart that Liu Xun was killed, the Huainan army in the rear had already failed, and it didn't make much sense to charge outside the city again, Yang Hong did not persuade Yuan Shu to continue to attack outside the city, but ordered a soldier behind him: "Immediately pass the order, the whole army will return to the city!" ”

Yuan Shu's order was quickly conveyed to the city, and the Huainan army, which had already known that Liu Xun had died in battle, had long lost much will to fight, hurriedly retreated into the city.

The cavalry of the Qin army did not chase too closely, if the main force was outside the city at this time, the Qin army might be able to enter the city in one fell swoop, but the main force was still in the rear and had not yet been transferred, and there was not much difference between rushing into Shouchun City with only 10,000 cavalry and committing suicide.

At the same time that the Huainan army was shrinking into the city, Tai Shici also issued an order for the whole army to retreat, and all the Qin cavalry took advantage of the fact that the Huainan army on the city wall had not yet found an opportunity to fire arrows at them, and retreated towards the main formation of the Qin army.

After a fight, Yuan Shu ordered the Huainan army to withdraw to the city, and the heavy cavalry of the Qin army also withdrew to the main formation.

The slanting sunset spread on Shouchun City, and the fields outside the city were also plated with a thin layer of blood.

One by one, the battle flags fell to the ground, stained with blood and mud, and there were also a few broken battle flags, planted alone in the dirt, and were dancing with the wind.

The fluttering battle flags fluttered in the wilderness full of dead bodies, and the holes on the flags that were cut by sharp weapons made them even more gloomy and desolate.

In the main formation of the Qin army, Liu Wei stared at the battlefield that had just passed through a battle, and ordered one of his own soldiers behind him: "Please General Ziyi come!" ”

The soldier answered, turned and left.

After the soldiers left, Liu Wei's brows furrowed slightly, and he said to Chen Gong, who was standing on the side: "Gongtai, although our army finally won a complete victory in this battle, it can kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 itself, which is really a heavy loss!" ”

"Your Highness!" Holding his fists and bowing to Liu Bian, Chen Gong said to Liu Bian: "Has Your Highness ever heard a word?" ”

"What?" Turning his head to look at Chen Gong, Liu Wei asked him a question.

"Defeat the enemy with the enemy!" Looking up at Liu Wei, Chen Gong said to him in an unusually solemn tone.

"What do you mean?" Tilting his head slightly, Liu Wei's eyes moved up and down Chen Gong's body, and he couldn't understand the meaning of his words for a while, so he asked again.

"Lu Wenhou killed Liu Xun, killed 3,000 enemies, wounded 6,000 enemies, and captured 30,000 people of Kang Jian's Huainan Army!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists, Chen Gong said to Liu Wei: "The Huainan army is strong, and the combat strength of 30,000 soldiers is not inferior to the Qin army, if His Highness makes good use of it......"

At this point, Chen Gong didn't continue, but stared at Liu Wei with his eyes, revealing a hint of expectation.

As soon as Chen Gong said this, Liu Wei immediately understood what he meant, nodded and said to Chen Gong: "What Gongtai said is true, and later this king will go to meet with the captured Huainan Army soldiers!" ”

"Your Highness is wise!" Clenched his fists and bowed, and bowed to Liu Wei, Chen Gong praised it, and then didn't say anything more.

After listening to Chen Gong's suggestion, Liu Wei was ready to meet the captured Huainan army soldiers, and led the cavalry to block the main force of the Huainan army back to the city, and Tai Shici, who strode towards him.

Back in the main formation, Tai Shici had not yet had time to clean the blood stains on his body, and when he came to see Liu Wei, his face was still covered with blood.

"Your Highness!" Striding to Liu Bian's approach, Tai Shi Ci hugged his fists and bowed to Liu Bian, and said to him: "The last general has returned to the main formation, and he has not had time to clean it up yet, there are many abruptness, and His Royal Highness Haihan is hopeful!" ”

Turning his head to look at Tai Shici, whose face was covered with blood, Liu Wei nodded and said to him, "Ziyi has worked hard!" ”

"The end will not be hard!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists, Tai Shici showed a touch of guilt on his face, and said to Liu Wei: "When leading the army to fight with the Huainan army, the last general wanted to kill Ji Ling, but he didn't expect that Ji Ling was also good, although he was not the last general, the last general was never able to pick him off the horse!" ”

"Ziyi doesn't need to be annoyed!" Smiling slightly, Liu Wei said to Tai Shici: "Liu Xun was killed, and Ji Ling has always suppressed Ziyi. When the two armies were fighting, the king also saw it clearly, and Ji Ling repeatedly tried to get rid of Ziyi, and finally had to return to the city first. Ji Ling's move was very detrimental to the army's morale, and Yuan Shu would not spare him if he wanted to! ”

After Liu Bian's explanation, Taishi Ci felt a little better in his heart, and hugged his fists and asked Liu Bian: "Dare to ask Your Highness, what is the matter of finding the end?" ”

"Nothing else!" Looking at Tai Shici, Liu Wei said to him: "Ziyi should go and cleanse himself, and wait to accompany this king to meet the Huainan army!" ”

"Your Highness wants ......?" Hearing that Liu Wei was going to meet with the Huainan Army, Tai Shici was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said to him: "Right now, our army is at war with the Huainan Army, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for Your Highness to meet the soldiers!" ”

Chao Tai Shi Ci smiled slightly, Liu Wei waved his hand and said: "Ziyi doesn't need to worry, this king has a reason!" ”

Seeing that Liu Wei and the Huainan Army had made up their minds to meet each other, Tai Shici had no choice but to respond, clasped his hands into fists, took two steps back, and then turned around and left, washing the blood on his body.

"Soldiers who died in battle can't be left outside the city like this!" Looking at the wilderness outside Shouchun City, Liu Wei frowned tightly and said to Chen Gong beside him: "You have to go and collect the corpses of the soldiers!" ”

Chen Gong nodded, turned around and whispered something to a soldier behind him.

The soldiers got Chen Gong's orders, strode towards a few war horses not far away, and after a while, they rushed out of the main formation of the Qin army and rushed towards Shouchun City.

On the city wall of Shouchun, Yuan Shu pressed the battlements with both hands, and was staring at the wilderness outside the city full of dead corpses, when he saw a Qin cavalry galloping over, he hurriedly raised his arm and shouted to the Huainan army on the side: "Bow and arrow!" ”

Hearing Yuan Shu's shout, several Huainan soldiers put their arrows on the bowstring and aimed at the Qin army that was running towards the city wall.

At the same time as the soldiers of the Huainan Army set up arrows on the bowstring, the soldiers took out a piece of white cloth from their arms and shook the white cloth while galloping towards the city wall.

Seeing the cavalry of the Qin army shaking the white cloth from a distance, Yuan Shu hurriedly shouted to the soldiers of the Huainan Army who had already mounted the arrows: "Wait! ”

The Huainan army, who had already put the arrows on the bowstring, heard Yuan Shu's shout, and they all put down their bows and arrows one after another, and their eyes were all staring at the Qin cavalry who was galloping towards the city.

"But the King of Qin saw the bravery of our army and decided to negotiate peace with me?" When the cavalry of the Qin army came to the city, Yuan Shu on the city wall held the battlements with both hands and shouted to him.

Riding on horseback, the cavalry of the Qin army did not rob Bai Yuan Shu, but turned their faces towards the battlements and shouted to Yuan Shu: "Your Highness is benevolent, I don't want the soldiers of the two armies to be exposed to the wilderness, and I specially ordered a certain person to come to inform him, and later our army will have a team of 100 people to come to collect the corpses of the soldiers of the two armies, and I hope that the city will not make any moves that should not be done!" ”

He thought that Liu Wei had already retreated after a battle and felt that the Huainan Army was strong, but he didn't expect that Liu Wei would just propose to collect the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle, and Yuan Shu's face suddenly turned blue.

Staring at the cavalry of the Qin army under the city, Yuan Shu's eyes narrowed slightly, and a touch of killing intent flashed from his eyes in an instant.

Yang Hong, who was on the side, saw a trace of murderous intent flashing in Yuan Shu's eyes, and knew that he had a killing intent against the cavalry of the Qin army, so he hurriedly whispered: "Your Majesty, you must not kill anyone!" ”

"Huh?" He was about to let the soldiers shoot the cavalry of the Qin army with arrows, but when he heard Yang Hong say this, Yuan Shu turned his head to look at him and asked, "What does Changshi mean?" Could it be that I would be afraid of the King of Qin? ”

"Your Majesty is not afraid of King Qin, but just shooting this person will chill the hearts of the soldiers in the city!" Seeing that Yuan Shu didn't understand the deep meaning, Yang Hong hurriedly said to him: "The soldiers went out of the city to fight, leaving more corpses outside the city, our army must not open the city gate, and cannot bury the soldiers who died in battle, so we have to let them expose the corpses in the wilderness!" ”

When Yang Hong said this, Yuan Shu's brows were always tightly twisted, and seeing that Yuan Shu still didn't understand the meaning, he then said to Yuan Shu: "The soldiers in the city saw that our army was killed and the soldiers were exposed to the rain and wind in the wilderness, and gradually turned into a dry bone, and their hearts must be sad, and the heart of serving death for His Majesty will also fade a lot!" ”

"What can I do?" It wasn't until Yang Hong said this that Yuan Shu suddenly understood that the Qin cavalry outside the city really couldn't be killed, and hurriedly asked Yang Hong: "Could it be that I want to be like the King of Qin, send soldiers to collect the corpses of the soldiers who died in battle?" ”
