Chapter 802: Wu-Han Battle (Part )

"Charge!" The shouts of Wu Jun were deafening, and they fought more and more courageously.

On the battlefield, more than 100,000 people were fighting, people were like ants, soldiers kept falling down, the battlefield was full of tragedy and cruelty.

The scene is very cruel and bloody, but it is a true portrayal of war.

When two countries go to war, soldiers rush into battle. This has been the case since ancient times.

Even if the Wu Kingdom was compassionate and wanted to consider the people of Southern Han, overthrow the Southern Han court and bring a better life to the local people, the Southern Han court would not be willing to perish. They would definitely try their best and go all out.

In this decisive battle, Southern Han deployed 100,000 main troops and its ace war elephant troops to the battlefield in order to fight a life-and-death battle with the Wu army.

At this moment, the main forces of the Wu army and the main forces of the Southern Han army were fighting a desperate battle on the open field at the foot of the Lotus Peak. Corpses were scattered all over the ground, blood flowed like a canal, and the entire battlefield was filled with a strong smell of blood and a tragic atmosphere.

When Su Chen saw this scene, he silently said in his heart that everything was for the unification of the Central Plains and for the historical process of great unification, and not for personal selfishness.

He also made a great wish in his heart: "If I can pacify Southern Han, I will definitely benefit the people of Southern Han!"

"If I unify the Central Plains, it will benefit the people of the world!"

"If I can ascend the throne and become emperor, I will definitely make China stable, civilization develop, and the people live and work in peace and contentment!"

Faced with the fight between 150,000 and 160,000 people, with blood and resentment boiling, Su Chen made a great wish at this moment, hoping to resolve the hostility on the battlefield, gather good thoughts, give back to the State of Wu, and also create good karma for himself.

Otherwise, with so many soldiers killed in battle, the karma would be too great, and even a famous general or emperor would have to bear a lot of karma.

This is also why most generals have died on the battlefield since ancient times. Even if they did not die on the battlefield in the end, they would have died in the political struggles of the court. The blood of too many people is stained on their bodies. Although they have established merits, they have also killed too many people. There are good deeds and bad deeds. Good deeds have good results, and bad deeds have bad results. When the good results are used up, it is time for them to die.

Su Chen made a wish in his heart at this moment, which was to resolve this killing karma and resentment, and transform it into compassion for all living beings and blessings for the people of the world, so that he would not be contaminated by too much cause and effect of killing.

The battle entered a white-hot stage. All the troops of both sides had been deployed to the battlefield. Troops were constantly increasing, bringing the number of troops on the battlefield to nearly 200,000. The scene was larger than any previous battle.

"Boom boom boom!"

The drums of war on both sides kept beating, and the deafening drumbeats seemed to cheer for the soldiers, stimulating their bloodiness and passion. Killing the enemy, making meritorious deeds, or defending the country, or making achievements, every soldier's heart was filled with firm beliefs.

This battle lasted from morning till dusk.

The setting sun hung in the sky, and its blood-red color added a touch of tragedy to this brutal battle.

The battlefield was littered with dead bodies and thick smoke, countless fallen horses and elephants, and the heads and bodies of soldiers from both sides. The bloody odor stretched for seven or eight miles.

At this time, the Wu army was fighting more and more fiercely. Relying on their excellent tactics and tenacious fighting spirit, they had already pushed the Southern Han army back several miles.

Under the fierce attack of the Wu army, the Southern Han army finally could not withstand it and began to retreat.

Li Chengwu looked at the defeated army, his heart filled with resentment and despair. He knew that in this battle, the Southern Han had been completely defeated.

Now he is unable to turn the tide and can only lead his troops to retreat, otherwise he will die here in battle.

"Li Chengwo, where are you going!" The brothers Pan Wei De and Pan Wei Gu were sharp-eyed and saw the figure of Li Chengwo, the chief general of the Southern Han Dynasty, at a glance, and their eyes immediately lit up. They knew very well that if they could capture and kill this man, it would be a great achievement, enough to make them famous in the Wu army.

So the Pan brothers and their personal soldiers chased after him relentlessly, while Li Chengwo fled on horseback with a few personal soldiers, his heart filled with panic and fear.

"Li Chengwo, prepare to die!" Pan Wei De and Pan Wei Gu were both skilled in martial arts. Holding spears in hand, they led their men to kill Li Chengwo, as if they wanted to put him to death.

"Stop them!" Li Chengwu shouted nervously, and sent two Du Yuhou beside him to draw their swords to block the pursuers. However, although these two Du Yuhou were brave, they were soon caught in a tough battle under the joint attack of Pan Wei De and Pan Wei Gu.

Pan Wei De and Pan Wei Gu looked at each other, and then they charged out with their spears, engaging in a fierce battle with the two Du Yu Hous; soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, the fight was indisputable. However, after more than ten moves, Pan Wei De was the first to win, stabbing his opponent Du Yu Hou with one spear, and continued to charge out on horseback, heading straight for Li Cheng Wu.

Seeing the critical situation, Li Chengwo became even more panicked.

He knew that if he could not escape this disaster, he would probably die here, so he tried his best to spur his horse and try to escape from this dangerous situation.

Seeing that Li Chengwo had already run far away, Pan Wei De did not give up. He rode his horse and chased after Li Chengwo. When the distance was close enough, he quickly put an arrow on the string and aimed at Li Chengwo's back.

With a sound of "Puff!", the arrow shot out like lightning and pierced Li Chengwu's chest. Li Chengwu screamed, his body swayed, and he fell off his horse.

Pan Wei De was overjoyed when he saw this. He shouted to those around him: "Han army commander Li Chengwo has been shot dead. Why don't the Han army surrender quickly!" His voice resounded throughout the battlefield, and the Han army soldiers who were fighting around him all heard the news.

Many Han soldiers looked at each other in panic and fear. Without the command of their commander, their fighting power suddenly became weaker. The Wu army took advantage of the situation and continued to expand their victory.

At this time, Pan Wei Gu also led his men to catch up. When he heard his elder brother's words, he also shouted: "The Wu army won a great victory, and the Han army commander Li Chengwo was killed." Many soldiers shouted along, and the news spread quickly.

The Han army's resistance was severely affected and they began to retreat.

"Is it true?" Some Southern Han soldiers asked half-doubtfully when they heard the news of Li Chengwo's death.

"It seems to be true. The commander is dead." Another soldier answered, with a tremor in his voice.

"Then why are we resisting? Let's just run away."

A soldier shouted in fear, and he had already started looking for an escape route.

"You can't escape, surrender!"

Some soldiers sighed helplessly, knowing that in this situation, running away would only put themselves in a more dangerous situation.

As a result, many Southern Han soldiers began to drop their weapons and choose to surrender.

They knew very well that the war had been completely lost, and continuing to resist would only result in their deaths.

The Wu army took the opportunity to control the overall situation, and they forced more Southern Han soldiers to surrender.

The sounds of fighting became quieter and quieter. Tens of thousands of Southern Han soldiers surrendered, and the rest who were still alive fled and were hunted down by the Wu army.

In this battle, more than 100,000 main forces of the Southern Han were wiped out, and the battlefield was in a mess, with corpses and debris everywhere.

Su Chen seized the opportunity and sent troops to capture Shaozhou. In the fierce battle, Jing Hong was brave and successfully captured Shaozhou Governor Dou Feng, thus controlling the entire Shaozhou city.

As night fell, the smoke on the battlefield gradually dissipated, and the battle was basically over. This battle ended with a great victory for the Wu army.

When Su Chen met Pan Mei and others, he praised and commended Pan Mei and other military generals.

Today, Pan Mei commanded the army and successfully defeated the 100,000-man army of Southern Han with excellent tactics and tenacious fighting spirit. This achievement was obvious to all. Therefore, Pan Mei's prestige in the Wu army increased a lot, and no one dared to disobey him anymore.

"Today's victory is due to General Pan's contribution. The other generals have also made contributions. The court will give them generous rewards!"

Su Chen spoke passionately, encouraged the generals, and then led some of his own troops into the city and officially took over Shaozhou.

The geographical location of Shaozhou is very important. It is located in the upper reaches of Qinshui (Beijiang), where the Qinshui and Xishui (Wushui) rivers converge. It is located in Dayuling, one of the Five Ridges, and guards the mouth of the Five Ridges. It is the key point of Baiyue, an important place in Lingnan, and an important gateway to the north of Xingwangfu (the capital of Southern Han).

The Wu army occupied Shaozhou and defeated the 100,000 main forces of the Southern Han Dynasty, so there was basically no pressure to destroy the Southern Han Dynasty.
