Chapter 791 Take a bite of them!
Su Ding's judgment was very correct.

The Qi people who had already landed, after confirming that they were ambushed, Zhou Yuanhu, who was the commander of the battlefield, only tentatively touched the officers and soldiers of the coastal capital, and decisively ordered to retreat!

Because Zhou Yuanhu knew very well in his heart that with his current strength, it was impossible to break through the ambush, let alone turn defeat into victory!
Especially when he saw the torches on the south bank, he was even more resentful!

The senior officials of the Confederate Army clearly said that this is where the defense of the Southerners is weak!
But now, even if it is a rough estimate, there are at least 2000 Chen Jun in the south bank!
With mental calculations and no intentions, 2000 people ambushed him and more than 2000 people, and half of them had time to land. In this case, he could not win.

So, after trying for half an hour, Zhou Yuanhu glanced at the man from the Southern Dynasty who was charging towards him with a knife in his heart, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes!
He considers himself to be extremely powerful.

But after fighting with that man from the Southern Dynasty just now, his tiger's mouth was numb from the shock when he collided with a long knife. After several rounds of confrontation, his right hand's tiger's mouth was already bleeding!

If it wasn't for the guards of the Zhou family who risked their lives to catch him, even if he wasn't seriously injured, at least he would die!
Under the protection of several guards, Zhou Yuanhu took a quick look at the battlefield, then looked back at the large ships behind him, and shouted angrily: "The southerners are treacherous, set up an ambush in advance!"

"Brothers, retreat for now, retreat to the boat, and return to the north bank!"

At this time, at least hundreds of Northern Qi soldiers had died, and the rest were also fighting hard. Hearing his words, they all retreated towards the river as if they heard the sound of a fairy!
Some boats did not dock, so they jumped off the Huaihe River and swam towards the boat.

Although the people in the north were not very good at swimming, most of the soldiers stationed on the banks of the Huaihe River all year round were able to swim, so they didn't have to worry about drowning.

But at this time, the archers have advanced to the river according to Su Ding's command!
Ever since, I don't know how many feathered arrows shot towards the river!
Although the field of vision is not good, although the enemy cannot be seen clearly, as long as the arrow rain is dense enough, sometimes the aim is not so important.

Accompanied by screams, these Northern Qi soldiers fled back to the boat in embarrassment.

However, on the river surface, the few warships that Shen Yi had built in Yueqing had also moved slowly, approaching the fleeing ships of the Qi people.

According to Shen Yi's instructions, they only found a few big ships and blocked their retreat!
At this time, the two sides have been fighting fiercely for more than an hour, almost two hours!

Shen Yi looked at Su Ding, and said, "Let's entrust the pursuit of the river surface to General Su. It is a boat that can stop a boat, but remember, don't let those Qi people have the opportunity to jump on our boat." .”

"The people of Qi are fierce, lest they snatch the boat."

Su Ding clasped his fists, turned around and went down to make arrangements.

And at this moment, the war on land has come to an end.

The rest was mainly to besiege and kill some Qi people who did not have time to board the boat, but after most of the Qi people were surrounded, Du Si yelled a few words, and obediently dropped his weapons and surrendered.

When it was getting dark, Shen Yi found Xue Wei among the crowd.

At this moment, General Xue was covered in blood, surrounded by a group of soldiers, panting heavily.

Although covered in blood, he was still chatting and laughing loudly with the few hundred households nearby.

Seeing Shen Yi coming, he struggled to stand up and salute Shen Yi. Shen Yi waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to get up, then passed the crowd, squatted in front of Xue Wei, frowned and said, "Are you injured?"

Xue Wei smiled honestly, and said, "I was hurt a little, but it was all flesh and blood."

Pointing to the blood on his body, he grinned at Shen Yi: "Mr. Shen, look, it's the blood of those bastards!"

"Today, I..."

Xue Wei coughed, and quickly changed his words: "Today, my subordinate finally saw the Qi people in these rumors!"

"It's nothing special!"

The commander of the capital has a somewhat honest smile.

"One of the subordinates will kill seven or eight of them!"

The Northern Qi Dynasty may be a nightmare for all Chen Guo people, especially the various rumors about how powerful the Northern Qi army is.

Even Xue Wei felt somewhat uneasy before.

But now, he hacked and killed so many Qi people in one go, and the fear in his heart finally dissipated!
Shen Yi glanced at him, then simply sat down on the ground, and took a deep breath.

In his heart, he felt uneasy.

Fortunately... Although the first battle was not particularly beautiful, it was finally a victory!

After closing his eyes and soothing his mood, Shen Yi opened his eyes, looked at Xue Wei, and said, "It's good that you didn't get hurt too much. It seems that this battle will be over until noon at most. Can you catch it today?" Fewer prisoners, pass on my order, the prisoners must be kept in custody, and they must not be tortured or killed."

Xue Wei didn't say anything before, but after speaking, he stared at Shen Yi with wide eyes, a little puzzled: "Mr. Shen, those bastards..."

A year or two ago, when the Japanese were suppressed in the southeast, Shen Yi didn't want any prisoners. Basically, even if he captured a prisoner, he would find a place to behead him.

Now, the captives are suddenly being "treated preferentially", Xue Wei is naturally puzzled.

Sitting next to Xue Wei, Shen Yi reached out and patted the big man's shoulder, and said slowly: "Captives can't be killed. If they are killed, no one will surrender in the future."

"If no one surrenders, we will have to die many more people before we can take them down."

A person's will to survive is very tenacious.

If they knew that laying down their weapons and surrendering was also death, these people would definitely grit their teeth and fight you to the end without even thinking about it.

But if you disarm and surrender, not only will you not die, but you will also be able to eat and drink.

Then, it will be much easier for everyone to surrender.

At this time, Shen Yi was paving the way for the future Northern Expedition.

As the sun slowly rose, the battle on the river bank came to an end, but suddenly some small carts and carriages came from the direction of Huai'an Mansion, and then someone came to report to Shen Yi, saying that the Yamen of the prefect of Huai'an brought some Huai'an people to give The generals and soldiers of the capital came to deliver food.

It didn't take long for some spread of noodles, rice, rice porridge, and even some vegetables to be delivered to many soldiers of the capital.

At this moment, everyone had been fighting all night, and they were exhausted to the extreme, so it was a great thing to be able to eat a mouthful of hot food.

Some people began to cry after taking a few mouthfuls of rice.

As for Master Shen, he was half lying on a slope, watching these soldiers eat.

A young man wearing a four-rank uniform also imitated Shen Yi's appearance, lying beside him, then turned his head to look at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Master Imperial Envoy, I heard that you fought well last night. The people of Qi, you beat them to pieces, and they were defeated."

There was no joy on Master Shen's face.

He squinted his eyes slightly to look at the sky, and said slowly: "If you have mental calculations but don't care, set up an ambush in advance..."

"Counting the Qi people who were captured, the number of kills this time is about a thousand."

Speaking of this, Master Shen frowned and said: "And roughly estimated, we also lost three to four hundred people."

"Counting the injured, there are even more."

Shen Yi glanced at Zhang Jian next to him, his voice hoarse: "Brother, these Qi people..."

"Bravo."

Master Shen said in a low voice: "This kind of casualties were almost unimaginable in the past when the Japanese were suppressed..."

Zhang Jian patted Shen Yi's shoulder, and softly comforted: "It's a good thing to win, isn't it?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly.

"It's just a retreat."

He looked to the north, and said slowly: "They will not give up, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, they will call again."

Having said this, Shen Yi's voice stopped abruptly, instead of continuing, he closed his eyes and remained silent.

Zhang Fuzun sat up, looked at Shen Yi for a while, then took out a piece of cake from his bosom, and handed it in front of Shen Yi.

"Let's eat something, I made it early in the morning."

Zhang Fuzun said: "Anyone can look like this, but you, an imperial envoy, can't do that."

"You are the coach."

Shen Yi opened his eyes, looked at the bread in front of him, then turned his head to look at Zhang Jian, and then took it silently.

His spirit lifted a little.

"Don't worry, brother, I'm fine."

Master Shen looked at the other side of the river, and took a hard bite of the big cake in his hand.

"Heavenly King Lao Tzu is here, I want to bite them too!"
