Chapter 93 The Battle of Luancheng (End)

In the summer, the dawn is early, and at the beginning of the [-]s, the sky is already bright, and the morning sun is spreading down, which seems to have the effect of eliminating violence and calming the spirit.

The excitement of blood and killing can temporarily blind people's minds, but it will not last for a long time. After the "lighthouse" general goal of the Liao Army recedes, after the madness, the chaos gradually ceased.
Human energy is limited, and after hysterical venting at the most exhausting time, even the strongest person has to soften and enter the sage mode.

Without the cover of the night, the scene on the banks of the water revealed its true face, with corpses lying across dozens of miles, blood-stained tidal flats, and the river water red.The sound of fighting between swordsmen and soldiers has subsided, and the wind is no longer so violent. Instead, there are bursts of desolate and sorrowful cries.

Too many people were killed and wounded.In particular, the life and death of those who were taken captive, the family members of the descended soldiers, and the people who were forced into force were the least guaranteed.
Liu Chengyou led the army, and it was only after dawn that he breathed a sigh of relief, but his spirit was still tense, and he moved to a relatively clean camp in the northwest of Liaoying for a temporary rest.

Overnight, after marching, raiding, and fighting, I was already physically and mentally exhausted, and the fatigue came up like a tide, but I didn’t dare to relax at all, forcibly suppressing the physical distress, Liu Chengyou inspected and comforted the sergeants, especially those who were injured. soldier.

There were less than 4000 people in Longqi who were really assembled by Liu Chengyou, and they were from all armies, with the first and fourth armies being the main ones, and the rest were all lost in the chaos.

By Liu Chengyou's side, only Zhang Yanwei, Ma Quanyi, and Murong Yanzhao were the three generals of the army commander and above, Long Qi.Zhang Yanwei was injured and grinned in pain, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth; Ma Quanyi was the same, with several wounds on his body, but his expression was calm; as for Murong Yanzhao, he was not injured, but he was also in a state of embarrassment.

After dawn, only Han Tong led a part of the Ma army who were chasing the Khitans to return to the establishment.The Long Qi Army was basically dispersed.

Beneath the blood-stained tall teeth, Liu Chengyou sat casually on a dirt slope and asked, "How many people still haven't come back?"

"Each army and each battalion, more than half!" After a brief inspection, Murong Yanzhao reported to Liu Chengyou with a low voice: "The first and fourth armies each belong to two battalions, and the second and third armies belong to only one battalion. Before returning, there is no trace of General Guo and Xiang to join the army, and there is no news of General Luo. I am afraid they are all trapped in the chaos of the army. As for casualties and battle losses, we still need to check the statistics, there is no exact number yet."

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou fell silent, looking towards the south where the blood was filled with blood, feeling very heavy.It is said that a thousand troops are easy to obtain and one general is difficult to find. The commanders of the two armies, Guo Rong, Xiang Xun, Luo Yanguang, not to mention other middle and lower-level officers, if these people are all killed in the chaotic army, then he is the Longqi Army. But it's basically useless.
"Let Han Tong go to Luancheng to recruit some strong people, cooks and women, fetch water and chop wood, and make rice by burying pots. Continue to treat the wounded, let the soldiers rest for a while, recover their strength as soon as possible, and then search and rescue me!" , Liu Chengyou pointed to the south and instructed solemnly.

"Yes!"

Last night's great upheaval, the people in Luan County were also unable to sleep all night, worried and uneasy.It was very easy for Han Tong to take people to survey people's power.As for food, firewood, and even wine and meat, the Liao camp had a lot of them. Although a lot of them were burned, what remained was still a huge amount.

His eyes were still on the south, staring at the large piece of blood that complemented the morning glow. His eyes were a little dazed for a while. Liu Chengyou's eyes were bloodshot, and the roars of "kill Hulu" and "kill Khitan" sounded vaguely in his ears. Voice.

Already exhausted to the point of extreme exhaustion, Liu Chengyou felt the urge to lie down and take a sound sleep, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and his body was a little floating.He was laborious and laborious, and he couldn't stand it. He pinched his thigh without any effort, and suppressed the intense sleepiness with pain. Liu Chengyou stood up.

Aware of Liu Chengyou's state, Li Chongju, who was still at the side of the guard, said, "Your Highness, please sleep for a while."

Shaking his head directly, he knew that in his current state, once he lay down, he would not get up if he didn't sleep well.He waved his hand, was walking, and said, "No, it's not time to relax yet, accompany me to go around again."

Around, a large number of soldiers have already lied down, sleeping on their pillows, snoring, one after another.

After a full two hours, Sergeant Long Qi recovered. Although he was still exhausted, he recovered a lot of energy.After eating with water, it begins to spread out and clean up the battlefield.During this period of time, one after another, the rest of the fallen soldiers returned under the leadership of big and small officers.They are all warriors of a hundred battles, and their robes are stained with blood.

At the same time as Longqi's army was rectified, the Yan soldiers, Jin soldiers, and those young men who survived the suicide all gathered together, and they were inevitably a little wary of each other.Of course, if you meet those Khitans who are still alive, they will die easily.

Regarding the Yan soldiers, Liu Chengyou directly ordered the Yan officers who had been subdued in Luzhou to contact Zhaofu, and the effect was not bad.Those Yan people who betrayed the Khitan were in a state of hesitation and had nowhere to turn to. In the face of Liu Chengyou's kindness, they simply accepted it and surrendered temporarily.

The Longqi Army was always a conquering division. It defeated hundreds of thousands of Khitan elites with one army. As the victor, they completely displayed their military might and made the Yan soldiers obey.In order to show the importance, Liu Chengyou also went there in person, made an appointment with the generals of Yan, made a heart-to-heart negotiation and promised to convince them.Soon, the remaining Yan soldiers also began to cooperate with the Longqi Army to clean up the battlefield and save the nation in danger.

Among those Yan generals, one person was very kind and directly expressed his intention to take refuge in Liu Chengyou.His name was Li Yun, who was originally the commander of the Imperial Army of the Later Jin Dynasty to control the crane. After the Khitan entered Bian, Zhao Yanshou heard of his bravery and took him under his command.

Liu Chengyou is pleased to accept this person's service. Under the current situation, such an activist is conducive to harmony and stability.After chatting with him, I learned that he is also from Taiyuan, and I can understand why his willingness to surrender is so sufficient.

Because Li Jun had the qualifications of a general of the Forbidden Army, Liu Chengyou immediately made a decision and appointed him as a military envoy, who was responsible for recruiting those scattered Jin troops to surrender.And these surrendered soldiers were obviously more cordial to the Long Qi Army. After all, Liu Chengyou was still under the banner of "Jin Army".

On Luo Yanguang's side, he had already consciously gathered some of his soldiers in advance and moved towards Liu Chengyou.

In the south, there is also Sergeant Long Qi, who was ordered to organize the remaining Jin ministers, Ding Zhuang, old and weak women and children.For a time, the figure of Sergeant Long Qi was active everywhere on the ruins of the Liaoning camp. The original dead place added a bit of vitality.

For Liu Chengyou, although the battle was won, the aftermath was more complicated and troublesome.
