Chapter 782 The Heroic Soul Lives Forever
Although the Battle of Wokou ended and the main force of Jiehu was completely defeated, the subsequent battles have not subsided, but local small-scale conflicts and battles centered on Wukou and spread to the vast area on the north bank of the Huaihe River.

Shen Zhezi stayed in Wokou for another two days, finalizing some details of follow-up cooperation with Xi Jian before returning to Shouchun Township.

In fact, if it's just a follow-up troop, the Xuzhou army doesn't have to be completely controlled by the whirlpool.There is also an important tributary, Sishui, in the lower part of the Huaihe River. From the Sikou out of the Huaihe River, you can reach Pengcheng, Xiapi and other places.However, Surabaya fell into the hands of the slave army earlier, and this time the Jie army is not the main marching route, so the navigation situation is not good.

Moreover, according to recent feedback, Liu Zheng's troops, who had fled during the battle in Whiraku earlier, were entrenched in the Surabaya River Basin.Although this part of the slave army was defeated, it was quite large in number, at least 3000 people, and most of them were the former Xuzhou army of the slave army.Generals like Liu Zheng, who have been stationed in Xuzhou for a long time, are not only quite familiar with the local geography, but even have connections with many local forces.

Therefore, if the Xuzhou army wants to completely control the Surabaya waterway, it has to work hard to get rid of the remnants of this slave army.

Although the slave army has been disbanded, there are still several defeated troops that maintain a considerable size. In addition to Liu Zheng's troops who fled near Surabaya, there are also Tu Geyi who fled earlier on the west bank of Weishui, and directly Of course, Shihu, whose whereabouts have not been traced, is indispensable for the defeated army that was withdrawn from the battle and kept the guard of honor under the Shihu banner.

Although these groups of people are retreating crowds, each of them still has a large scale. Although their retreating trajectory is generally northward, the specific route is quite random and there is no clear purpose, so I want to follow up And it is quite difficult to completely encircle and suppress.Moreover, these people can be said to be the real desperadoes, who want to escape wholeheartedly. Once they encounter obstacles, they will have the courage to fight with their lives.Therefore, during the pursuit, the Huainan Army paid a considerable price.

At the same time, there are also specific statistics on the specific results of the Whirlpool World War I.After the battlefields were cleaned up, more than [-] people were beheaded.Of course, the specific gains are definitely not limited to this. For example, the Wukou River, where the slave army suffered the most casualties before, a large number of corpses were thrown on the river and then swept away by the current. It is difficult to count at all.And a considerable part of the beheadings in these confiscations were not direct captures. The mutual mutilation of the slave soldiers fighting each other in the chaos, including the stampede on the way to retreat also accounted for a quite high proportion.

Many situations that cannot be counted, add up all kinds of situations, and the casualties of the slave army should be more than this multiple of beheading.Although compared to the total number of more than [-] slaves, this number seems to be just so-so, but if it is specific to a single battle, then this number is really amazing.

You must know that no matter how large the army is, in fact, only a part of it is actually engaged in frontal battlefield combat in a certain period of time.Moreover, the Huaikou battle directly penetrated the slave barracks defenses with extremely violent methods, thus achieving the effect of a quick battle, not a protracted confrontation and mutual attack.

From the interrogation of the slave generals captured earlier, it is known that the slave army invested around [-] troops in this battle.

However, Shen Zhezi still has some doubts about this point, because the Huainan Army has taken the initiative and absolute advantage from the beginning of this campaign, and the slave army itself is weak in fighting spirit, and there have been successive occurrences of demoralizing phenomena such as fleeing in battle. It is impossible to be more clear about the scheduling operations.Therefore, there should be some cases where the slave army did not arrive at the battlefield at all even though the military order for mobilization was issued.Especially in the later period when the Huainan Army successfully landed and fought, this situation will inevitably become more serious.

In fact, a considerable part of these beheadings by the Huainan Army were not gains during the war, but retaliatory massacres by the Huainan Army in pursuit of Jiehu after the slave army was defeated.Due to Shi Hu's previous reorganization of the army, about tens of thousands of Jiehu soldiers were incorporated into the central army, which is almost more than half of the Jiehu soldiers in this slave army, and thus saved the Huainan army from going to the screening time to pick.

There were even many slave troops who were defeated because of the declarations of the Huainan Army before, and they took the initiative to help intercept these Jiehu's escape.Therefore, more than 2000 Jiehu soldiers were tortured and killed in the pursuit after the war alone.

This is the case with beheading. As for the captives, there are nearly ten thousand captives directly on the battlefield of Wokou alone.Many of them were slave soldiers who were eliminated by Shihu and excluded from the main force. Their own combat effectiveness was slightly inferior, and they did not have enough armaments and equipment, and even had a lot of deduction for food and clothing.In the battle, he was also ignored by the slave generals, but instead avoided participating in the war and being slaughtered.

After the main force of the slave army fled, this part of the slave army, who had been discriminated against and treated harshly, didn't even have the intention of fleeing, and simply surrendered the entire battalion directly.The generals of the Huainan Army who were in charge of accepting the surrender at that time said with emotion that these slave soldiers were all naked and starved, even inferior to some wandering food refugees with a slightly fierce posture, and they could not be called an army at all.

Of course, there can't be so few real captives, and this number will inevitably increase as the Huainan Army suppresses and eliminates them.Even if some routs managed to escape near the vortex, the slave army itself was extremely short of food, and these routs had discarded a lot of weapons and weapons, so there must be very few of them who managed to escape back.

Therefore, a considerable part of these scattered slaves will inevitably starve to death in the countryside, and naturally some will become entangled and become bandits, plundering for food, and these will also become the main targets of the Huainan Army's next suppression.Of course, some of them will be recruited and hidden by the local Xiangzong, Wubi and other forces to fill their manpower.

After staying in Weikou for two days, Shen Zhezi boarded a ship and returned to Shouchun, accompanied by many corpses of the Huainan army who died in this battle and thousands of wounded.

Although the results of this battle were brilliant, the Huainan Army also paid a high price. Casualties mainly occurred in the counterattack encountered during landing operations and chasing the enemy.More than 2000 soldiers of the Huainan army lost their lives in the last battle of the Jiehu South invasion. The corpses were neatly placed on the boat, and they traveled on the road that they set out on this road not long ago.Although they came back with a big victory this time, they did not have the chance to take another look at the land that they once shed their heads, sprinkled their blood, and fought with their lives to guard it.Fortunately, their efforts and sacrifices were not in vain!
When the fleet passed Luojian, people gradually appeared on the south bank of the Huai River.The news that the Huainan Army defeated the slave army at Wokou had already spread throughout the town, which meant that the haze of war that had shrouded Huainan and hundreds of thousands of slave troops invading the south had finally dissipated, and it meant that the land of Huainan was in this chaotic world. Being able to maintain stability in the world also means that Jiehu, who has ravaged China and poisoned the Central Plains for more than ten years, finally tasted the bitter fruit at the Huainan Army, and lost a lot!

"Marquis Shen is mighty!"

"Master Wang is mighty!"

Hearing the news, Jiangbian came, and more and more people wanted to see Wang Shiqiang's military appearance. When the warships of the Huainan Army that still had traces of war appeared in sight, many people on the shore were already excited and raised their arms. call.This kind of excited voice spread along the Huai River in an instant, and the sound shook the wild, and it lasted for a long time!
The Huainan military boats marched all the way westward and successfully arrived at Bagong Mountain in the north of Shouchun City. At this time, Bagong Mountain was already crowded with people. Looking at the grand occasion, it can be seen that it was all out of the city.Many people have been standing here waiting for several hours. When the excited roars came from the east one after another, the people who were waiting for the return of Wang Shi here were not far behind and shouted in response.

After yelling like this for several hours, many people's voices were already hoarse, but when the Huainan Army warship finally appeared in sight, the sky and the earth erupted into cheers that shook the sky!
Amidst the cheers all over the mountains and fields, the warship of the Huainan Army slowly approached the pier, and Shen Zhezi, who was dressed in military armor, walked out of the cabin surrounded by several generals such as Lu Yong and his own soldiers.As soon as they stepped on the deck, the cheers suddenly became louder: "Shen Hou is mighty! Break the slaves and thieves and protect the country! The heroes of Huainan will shine through the ages!"

At this time, Du He, Ji You, Jiang Xun and other Huainan officials who had been waiting for a long time stepped forward one after another, and they all laughed before opening their mouths. Qi Qi bowed deeply to Shen Zhezi, and at this moment he had no words to express their excitement.With tens of thousands of people, the slave army was dominated by hundreds of thousands of troops. Not only did they not lose an inch of territory, but they also defeated the slave army and fled.Such an impossible task, the unprecedented glory of Jin Zuo since Yongjia, has become a reality under their witness and participation!
The living people jumped for joy, the crowd cheered, and the officials worshiped. At this moment, Shen Zhezi was also excited, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he forgot to speak for a while.And the soldiers near it also held their heads high and stood upright, no matter how enthusiastic the cheers were, they deserved it!

After standing silently for a long time, Shen Zhezi's excited mood calmed down a little. When his eyes fell on the boats carrying the corpses of the Huainan Army, his heart was filled with intense grief and anger. He took a step forward and slowly drew out the sword around his waist.Although the movement was slow, there seemed to be an invisible momentum emanating from him, and it quickly enveloped the audience. The cheers gradually stopped, and all eyes were focused on the young envoy, watching his every move seriously. move.

"In this battle, Wang Shicheng is mighty! More than ten thousand slaves were killed, and the captives were hard to count. The slave army boasted of hundreds of thousands, but now they are all killed in one battle! However, this victory is really a coincidence. The Huainan martyrs on board the ship More than two thousand people in Huainan should bear in mind that without such heroism, life cannot continue! Without such heroism, food and clothing cannot be satisfied! Without such heroism, the country cannot be peaceful! People are happy to live, why do strong men go to death?"

Speaking of this, Shen Zhezi's tone trembled a little, and his eyes gradually became hazy: "If you are not wise enough to make a living, and you are not strong enough to make a living, I can't bear to see the tragic death of the people, the chaos of the country, and the decline of the royal way! Driven by the king's order, the hometown is in danger." , life and people have high hopes, although the body of a man, the shoulders are extremely heavy! But because of this weight, it is incumbent! The flesh and blood body is piled up into a steel barrier! The courageous ambition is cast into a sharp knife to kill thieves! World! All the people of Jin must maintain this heroic ambition, and the ugliness are raging. Only by showing the sword, the sea is flowing, and no one can insult it!"

　I really want to say sorry to everyone, the latest update is really unsatisfactory.The brushwork is still immature, and I am worried that I will not be able to control it.In fact, I also conceived a few fragments that feel more burning, but I was worried that it would affect the integrity of the narrative, so I deleted and deleted it when writing, and the efficiency was very low.The May Day holiday is approaching, so adjust your status at that time, try to ensure full attendance in May, and increase the amount of updates. . .
