"The end is here!"

……

"You take the rest of these people to deal with and gather these prisoners of war. Those who are seriously injured will be beheaded immediately, and those who are slightly injured will be delayed until our soldiers have dealt with them."

"Remember not to be too careless. According to the military adviser, this battle is not over yet! If the other side has reinforcements, I'm afraid they will come here anytime and anywhere."

"Once the drums are played, the whole army should not panic, leave enough soldiers to guard the prisoners, and don't let these people take advantage of the chaos to disperse our camp from the rear!"

……

"Here!"

……

Let's talk about going back to the west bank of the Yangtze River, the Lujiang Daying side.

When Yamagoshi, who was the first to drop his weapon and surrender, appeared, this behavior quickly spread among the crowd like an infectious disease in winter.

At this moment, Sun Jian was frowning and looking at the crowd kneeling on the ground in front of him, subconsciously feeling a little difficult.

Chapter No.16 After the war?

It is now early morning, the sun is about to rise from the east, and the originally dark sky has been shrouded in a white light.

On the broad surface of the Yangtze River, the fog slowly dissipates over time.

Instead, there was a thick bloody smell.

……

No one expected that this encounter between Lujiang and Shanyue would last for two full days for the first time.

As the sun sets and rises, rises and sets...

Until now when it is about to rise again, this long battle has finally ushered in its end.

Out of consideration for his own identity, after this battle, Sun Jian did not order the prisoners to be disposed of, but instead arrested all those who surrendered on the ground.

Disarmed, bound, and piled together after silence.

This is the very standard way of disposing of prisoners of war in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Sun Jian did not choose to kill those who surrendered.

After all, in a sense, these prisoners of war were the joint property of Lujiang prefect Zhang Yan and him, and it would be inappropriate for him to dispose of them alone.

But now, he first ordered everyone in the army to collect all the prisoners of war, while Sun Jian himself stood on the edge of the Yangtze River, looking at the river surface stained scarlet by a large number of corpses, subconsciously dazed.

……

Yes, that's right, the time at this moment is not the early morning of the next day, but more than 40 hours have passed since the Han army arrived at the Yangtze River section in Wuhu.

During these more than 40 hours, several battles broke out between Lujiang soldiers and Shanyue who was ambushing here, and finally Hu Cai stepped forward and beheaded the leader of the bandit army, Peng Qi. The end of the battle.

During these few battles, the Han army to which Lujiang belonged first relied on the strategy of the marching governor Fazheng to see through the opponent's strategy, and then used the strategy to lure the snake out of the hole with one hand, and lured out the ambush soldiers who were ambushing here sooner or later. .

With [-] against [-], this seemingly evenly matched battle, under the leadership of several generals from the Lujiang side, achieved an astonishing exchange ratio.

According to the statistics of the soldiers later, except for hundreds of people on my side who were killed in the first battle, most of the remaining escapees were almost injured and did not die, which did not cause too much damage to the combat effectiveness of this army. big impact.

But Shanyue's side is completely different.

Due to being led and divided several times, more than a thousand people were killed in the battle in Shanyue, even approaching two thousand.

And more are the casualties caused by being pushed down and trampled by one's own people in the chaos.

Even judging from the situation afterwards, this kind of casualty caused more losses to the opponent than the direct beheading by the Han army.

……

In a battle where the numbers were evenly matched, or even slightly disadvantaged, according to common sense, if everyone played such an excellent exchange ratio, this should have been a big victory worth celebrating.

Although after Lujiang decided to use troops against Danyang Mountain, this is not the first time that everyone has confronted Danyang Mountain... But the result of thousands of people is not comparable to those previous small fights.

It's just a pity that no matter whether it's Sun Jian, Li Le, Hu Cai, or even Fa Zheng who is the army staff officer, everyone's expressions are not very happy at the moment.

Not only them, including the soldiers and generals below, everyone seemed so silent.

The reason is also very simple.

That was after that battle, immediately after that, on the other side of the Yangtze River, more than 2 people rushed towards the "dumplings" wrapped by themselves as if they were desperate.

I don't know why, after seeing someone come to rescue him, the remaining Shanyue also burst out with a very strong will and resilience to survive.

Morale, which was already on the verge of collapse, was once again raised to its peak.

This time, it was replaced by those Lujiang soldiers who were cut off from both sides.

If it weren't for the fact that the difference in hard power between the two sides was too great, everyone in Lujiang would have almost been overturned, and these damned Shanyue had fought a beautiful anti-encirclement battle.

……

"Sorry, this plan was my mistake."

Afterwards, in the summary meeting of the Lujiang army camp, Fazheng took the lead in expressing his opinion with a straight face.

On Fazheng's young face, it can be seen that there is obvious guilt.

The corners of his eyes are still a little red even now.

"I didn't realize that the opponent's number would be so large... If I could realize it earlier and make a quick decision, there wouldn't be such a large number of casualties."

"And the resilience of the enemy army is far beyond my imagination."

"It's my idea to deliberately expose the flaws and want to surround the points for reinforcements. In the case of inferior forces, this is much more dangerous than I imagined."

"Therefore, I think I should take the main responsibility for the loss this time..."

……

Yes, although this battle had a good start, it failed to usher in a too perfect ending.

The battle was won.But as a price, the defeat of the Shanyue Army, which had a total of nearly 4 people, also caused the casualties of the Lujiang Third Army Masi to a very high level.

It's just that among the people present, no one spoke out against him.

Even Li Le, as the commander of the army, just sighed and patted the opponent on the shoulder.

He didn't make a sound.

A large amount of blood condensed on his armor like a pour, and after drying up, it gave off bursts of stench.

The general in Zhang Yan's hands had just fought on the front line, beheading and killing at least dozens of people in Shanyue.

The blood and evil spirit had already changed his whole body color, and he even had an aura of calmness and prestige.

But even so, facing Fazheng who took the initiative to take responsibility, Li Le did not have the slightest anger or complaint.

He just looked at each other silently.

In those eyes, what Fazheng could feel was the purest understanding and support.

……

As one of the former commanders of the Yellow Turban Army, Li Le knew very well how much pressure Fazheng was under.

Fazheng's identity is the decision maker on the battlefield and a military adviser.

Every soldier in his hands should be like a chess piece, only to contribute his role to the final victory.

Ke Fazheng was also a child.

As a military adviser, he must take responsibility for the decisions he makes, whether it is casualties or failures on the battlefield.

As a child, this was the first time he faced such a grand battlefield, and the first time he learned how to bear the decisions he made.

……

Li Le knew that he had done a good job, and he should give him enough time to grow up.

……

Just now, after 2 people from the other side rushed across the river to help, the army formation surrounding Shanyue on the Lujiang River suddenly felt tremendous pressure, as if the soldiers who had been surrounded had begun to struggle desperately.

What everyone didn't expect was that among those crossing the river, under the leadership of a general dressed in mountain folk clothes and holding a long knife, the two troops of Shanyue attacked from left to right, almost broke through their defense line, and completed the merge.

If they really broke through the last line of defense, then the battle would turn into a melee of [-] against [-].In the melee, those advantages such as formation and training will be suppressed to the extreme.

When the situation develops like that, the only thing that can affect the outcome of the battle will be the morale of both sides and the degree of desperation between each other.

Fortunately, at the moment before Lujiang felt a little overwhelmed by the opponent's offensive, the opponent's commander appeared in front of everyone as a general.

This gave Lujiang a chance.

It was by seizing this opportunity that the [-] Poyang water thieves who had the opportunity to break out of the siege failed to escape after all.

……

It may be that he is very confident in his own strength, or it may be that Peng Qi, the leader of the Shanyue side, lost his mind because of being too anxious.

After leading the army to forcibly cross the river, Peng Qi appeared on the front line like this, and led the Poyang thieves under his command to kill a bloody path in the army formation of Lujiang.

It can be seen with the naked eye that after the appearance of this person, the morale and fighting will of many Poyang water thieves present are obviously much stronger than before.

And the strength of the opponent's third-rate peak level also made many Lujiang soldiers feel helpless.

It was just a face-to-face effort, and this man took the lead in beheading several heavily armed soldiers.

……

For a while, as long as this person appears wherever, the army formation there will look like it will be defeated at any time.

What made the soldiers even more tingly was that this man also used a long knife to fight...

In other words, these sword and shield soldiers were almost as if they had no defense in front of him.

No matter what kind of attack or parry it is, it can't stop the opponent from breaking through the front line.

……

At this time, while Sun Jian was hesitating whether he should do it himself, the strongest of the Lujiang Third Army Ma Si was originally Hu Cai, the deputy commander who was born in Hedong County. fucked him.

……

"The head of the thief!"
