Han Shizu

Chapter 808
In the dull twilight, the cold autumn wind raged wantonly around the bare Xiaomantian village, howling, as if cheering for the Han army who successfully captured the Shu village, and mourning for the dead soldiers.

Inside the camp where the Han flag was planted, the lights were brightly lit, and they were still busy. Li Yan, Han Jixun, He Jianjian and other generals were dealing with the aftermath in an orderly manner and arranged for the stationing.

The soldiers who participated in the attack on the stronghold received the most comprehensive comfort after a bloody battle.The rest of the rest, the healing of the wounds, the captured and surrendered Shu soldiers collected their weapons and armor, moved them to the front village, and concentrated on guarding them.

The busiest one belongs to Zhang Mei. In addition to taking stock of the seizures, arranging manpower to clean up the battlefield, storing the bodies of the fallen soldiers on both sides, and making logistical adjustments
Even after simple cleaning, the bloody smell in the camp, especially during the battle, is still extremely strong, and the killing spirit has not diminished. After getting rid of the fierce fighting, it is even more bleak, just like the sad Ming general.

As the coach, Xiang Xun, as the victor, climbed to the enemy camp with blood on his hands, looking at the scene of the camp, his face was full of emotion.In the daytime, even when the attack was the most intense and the Han army suffered the most casualties, he was as hard as a stone, expressionless, and with an extremely cold attitude, urged the soldiers to fight to the death.However, at this moment, Xiang Doushuai sighed and sighed heavily.

Followed by his side, Murong Chengtai couldn't help but wonder: "Commander, we have won a complete victory in this battle. We defeated the enemy in one day and conquered the sky in one battle. When we are excited and excited, why do we sigh?"

Seeing the excitement on Murong Chengtai's face, Xiang Xun said: "As a general, you don't command soldiers with mercy! If you say that I feel pity for the soldiers on both sides who died, I'm afraid some people will think I'm hypocritical!"

It was really hard for Murong Chengtai to understand Xiang Xun's mood. In his impression, Xiang Dushuai was not a soft-hearted person.Judging from the situation in today's supervisory battle, some generals and schools suggested that the attack should be delayed due to excessive casualties, but he flatly rejected them. He strongly urged the attack on the stronghold, not giving the Shu army a respite, nor giving the Han army a respite. How strong is that? overbearing!

Probably aware of Murong Chengtai's doubts, Xiang Xun said slightly: "Maybe I'm getting old! Because of my soft heart, I feel a lot of emotion! Once the generals are successful, and the soldiers are so casualties, I feel uneasy, and even more so." Don’t dare to take credit for it.”

Soon, all emotions disappeared from Xiang Xun's face, and he greeted: "Come on, let's go and see the wounded soldiers!"

In the attack and defense of Xiaomantianzhai, the casualties of the Han army were not low. There were thousands of direct casualties, and even more serious injuries.The casualties of the Shu army were even more severe, with about 500 soldiers, and less than [-] were captured alive.After breaking down the stronghold, many bloody Han troops had a wanton massacre, and it took some effort before they were stopped.

The battle in Xiaomantianzhai is over, but the death continues. Even if fifty medical officers and doctors were deployed in the Beiluxiang training army, many seriously injured died before being treated. Of course, some people were really rescued. not coming back
Among the Han army, the Huaide army suffered the heaviest casualties. A total of 6000 people were conscripted, and [-]% of them were killed in World War I.But through this battle, the "Shu pawns" justified themselves, and the "chain of contempt" in the Han army who conquered Shu was also greatly impacted. After that, these "Shu pawns" can really stand up and become the Han army. There is no more powerful statement than blood and death.

"All wounded soldiers must be rescued as much as possible. Don't be stingy with medicine stones. If they are missing, find Zhang Mei and ask him to mobilize them as quickly as possible!" After inspecting the wounded barracks, Xiang Xun gave strong instructions.

"The casualties in this battle are more serious than I imagined!" Back in the temporary commander's tent, Xiang Xun sighed again.

"But the results are brilliant, and the price paid is worth it! Otherwise, a real strong attack, like the king's general said, may not win 5000 people!" Murong Chengtai said.

Nodding his head, he ordered Xiang Xun: "Send someone to check the results of the battle at Damantianzhai. It's getting dark. Tell Gao Huaide and Wang Quanbin that if the speed is too difficult, you can suspend the attack, and take a rest after resting." Nanling!"

"Yes!"

After only resting for a while, Ma Renyu led people to escort Wang Shenchao and Zhao Chongpu, the generals of Shu, into the account.This time Ma Renyu was accompanying the army as a cavalry general, but there was no room for cavalry in the mountains, so since he started the campaign, seeing other generals making great achievements, he was determined to train [-] infantry to lead them into battle.After the stronghold is broken, help clear it up.

Looking at the two Shu generals, Xiang Xun became interested and looked at the wounded and bound two.Ma Renyu pointed to Wang Shenchao and introduced: "This is Wang Shenchao, the guard of Xiaomantianzhai. This guy is also lucky. He was not hacked to death by random knives in the chaos!"

"General Wang is amazing! This battle has caused a lot of trouble for our army!" Xiang Xun said: "If the generals of Shu are as difficult as the general, it will be difficult for the big man to destroy Shu!"

Hearing Xiang Xun's words, Wang Shenchao smiled wryly and said: "How dare a defeated general dare to speak bravely! I thought that with the danger of the sky, the strong defense of the stronghold, and sufficient preparations, it would be enough to resist your army for three months! Never I thought, within half a day, it was destroyed by your army! I only paid attention to the enemy in the front, but unexpectedly the murderous intent was already hidden behind. I have a question, I wonder if this general can solve it?"

"Please speak!" Xiang Xun looked very gracious.

Wang Shenchao said: "The roundabout division of your army must have taken the path in the Micang Mountains!"

"Yes!" Xiang Xun nodded.

Wang Shenchao raised a serious expression, "I'm very curious. It's only been [-] days since your army marched south, and it's only been more than [-] days since you captured Sanquan. It will take time and travel to attack Xiaomantianzhai." , determined not to bandit, why did you act so quickly, and in such a short period of time, you found a way to pass and realized a detour?"

With a faint smile, Xiang Xun didn't mind answering the defeated general's questions, and said: "The strategy of the raid was planned before our army marched, and the route of the march was also explored in advance. Therefore, after the general burned down the Jinniu plank road that day, the commander-in-chief sent good generals and elite soldiers to sneak into Micang Mountain."

"That's right! I'm not wronged!" Hearing what he said, Wang Shenchao couldn't help sighing.

With emotion, he came to his senses, looked at Xiang Xun, and said, "I'm handsome? Are you the coach of the Han army, Xiang Xun?"

"Bold! Can you say the name of being handsome?" Ma Renyu resisted the urge to move his feet, and scolded.

Xiang Xun reached out his hand to stop Ma Renyu, and said to Wang Shenchao, "Why, you have been talking to me for so long, and you still haven't recognized your identity?"

After taking a few glances at Xiang Xun, Wang Shenchao said, "I've heard about the name of Dushuai a long time ago. When I saw him today, he really has extraordinary bearing. Wang Zhaoyuan is definitely not Dushuai's opponent!"

As he spoke, hesitating for a while, Wang Shenchao said, "I don't know Xiang Dushuai, how do I plan to deal with it?"

Xiang Xun showed a hint of amusement, and asked back: "I haven't thought about it, can General Wang give me a suggestion?"

Hearing this, Wang Shenchao gritted his teeth and said sharply: "Although I live in a secluded place in the middle of Shu, Su Mu has a great reputation as the commander in chief. Now he is a captive. I will never give up. I would like to serve the commander in chief. Only the commander in chief will follow!"

"Oh?" Xiang Xun seemed to be interested, and asked: "Your family members should all be in the middle of Sichuan. If you join our army, aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to them?"

Wang Shenchao said: "This time the Han army will go south with the heart of destroying Shu. The painstakingly managed line of defense in the Tianling Mountains will be difficult to serve as a front for one day. How long can the land of Sichuan and Shu survive? The two rivers will belong to the imperial court. Worrying about disaster?"

"You have some knowledge!" Xiang Xun asked again: "What if I tell you to turn your horse around and attack the Shu army?"

After a little hesitation, Wang Shenchao said seriously: "As long as Du Shuai can trust me, but he has his own destiny, he will not hesitate to do so, and he will never hesitate!"

Seeing this, Xiang Xun smiled: "Very good! A good bird chooses a tree to live in. Even if you lose the battle and submit to the court, it's still not too late!"

Hearing his statement, Wang Shenchao breathed a sigh of relief, paused, and asked curiously: "Dare to ask Dushuai, I refused to defend this stronghold and caused a lot of casualties to the big Han soldiers. Do you really believe me? Are you afraid that I will repeat it? "

Xiang Xun raised his hand, and said in a frank tone: "The two armies are fighting each other, and each is the master. There is nothing to criticize! And as you said, the great Han will destroy Meng and Shu. This is the general trend, and those who know the current affairs All should follow the trend, why are you afraid of repeating?

As for you, if you submit to the great man and offer your sincerity, the imperial court will definitely return your faith!In addition, please remember that you are serving the big man, and you should be loyal to the current emperor, not me Xiangxun! "

"They are all handsome and generous, and the final general will bow down!" Wang Shenchao was completely relieved.

"Haha! Wang Shenchao, I really misunderstood you! I never thought that you would be so greedy for life and fear of death, and do such a thing of flattery!" At this time, Zhao Chongpu who was on the side suddenly laughed.

Xiang Xun cast his eyes on Zhao Chongpu, and saw that he was covered in blood and suffered a lot of injuries. He couldn't help asking curiously, "Who is this?"

Ma Renyu said: "This man's name is Zhao Chongpu. He is the guard of Jinniu Village. He is very stubborn. He dragged his wounded body and killed three of my soldiers. The last general took action himself to capture this beast!"

"If it weren't for the injury to the buttocks, I could have killed a few more Han thieves!" Zhao Chongpu shouted with his head raised.

Seeing this, Xiang Xun turned to Wang Shenchao.Aware of his suspicious gaze, Wang Shenchao immediately explained Zhao Chongpu's deeds and the origin of the stick injury.

"In that case, it's Wang Zhaoyuan who lost the combat power of a good general!" Xiang Xun was a little embarrassed, and looked at Zhao Chongpu, who had his neck stuck.

Before he opened his mouth, he listened to his words: "You don't need to persuade me! Zhao knows loyalty, and he will definitely not do the thing of surrender!"

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Xiang Xun raised his eyebrows.

"Death is death! What is there to be afraid of?" Zhao Chongpu was not timid at all.

Seeing this, Ma Renyu was a little upset, and said: "You are handsome, this man has few martial arts skills, but his temper is tough. If he wants to die, he will be fulfilled!"

"Thank you, Chengquan!" Zhao Chongpu smiled coldly.

After staring at each other for a while, it was obvious that he was determined to die. Xiang Xun looked coldly and waved his hand: "You want to be benevolent, and this commander will not sway your ambition!"

"Let's go! I'll personally see you on the road!" Accepted, Ma Renyu gave Zhao Chongpu a push.

Zhao Chongpu staggered, glanced sideways at Wang Shenchao, raised his head and laughed, and walked out: "I hope your knife is fast enough!"

"Don't worry! I'll give you a good time!" Ma Renyu said, with an expression of admiration.

The two went out of the tent, and after a while, the laughter stopped abruptly.

On Wang Shenchao's side, his body trembled, a little embarrassed, and comforted Xiang Xun softly: "General Wang, don't worry about it!"

He also ordered outside: "Come here, take General Wang down to heal his wounds!"

"Thank you handsome!"

After he retreated, Ma Renyu who entered couldn't help saying: "Commander, although this Wang Shenchao surrendered voluntarily, he did cause a lot of trouble and damage to our army. Let him go so easily and accept him. I'm afraid the soldiers attacking the stronghold will have opinions!"

Hearing this, Xiang Xun shook his head: "There are many talents in the Shu army, but they can't be stretched. They can be used by our court and stabilize the place in the future. Moreover, although our army is playing triumphant songs for the first time, Meng Shu is on the verge of collapse, but since then In the past, the road to Chengdu was still not smooth. People like Wang Shenchao can serve as an example to continue to attack the morale of the Shu army and relax their resistance, which will also reduce the casualties of our army going south.”

In Weiji, Murong Chengtai came to report that Nanling was victorious and defeated the Shu army!
