The besieged Yuan army saw that its commander Ji Ling had fled. Except for a small number of troops who fled closely, most of the soldiers put down their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Lu Yi hurriedly ordered Xu Sheng, Ling Cao and Zhou Tai who were chasing him to lead their troops to make a show of chasing Ji Ling, while he stayed behind to clean up the mess.
At this time, Taishi Ci joined Cheng Pu and came forward.
The two of them were riding on war horses. Although their armors were covered in blood and their weapons were still hung with minced meat, it did not stop them from laughing at all.
With more than 20,000 troops from the three parties, they defeated Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling and his 40,000 troops.
This battle made them feel extremely happy!
Originally, both of them thought that after Sun Ce, Jiangdong might not face any happy wars again.
Unexpectedly, they would be slapped in the face so quickly.
The two of them were chatting and laughing when they found Lu Yi, originally wanting to congratulate him.
Seeing that Lu Yi was still holding the handsome flag in his hand, his clothes were already soaked in blood, and there was a spearhead stuck in his left shoulder, the two of them were startled. They jumped off their horses and galloped up and said: " Lord!"
Lu Yi saw the two coming and waved hurriedly.
Taishi Ci carried Lu Yi and was about to go into the city to treat his wounds.
Lu Yi hurriedly asked him to put him down and said: "There is an urgent task for you and General Cheng to do alone!"
Only then did Taishi Ci let go of Lu Yi.
Cheng Pu hurriedly asked: "What is more important than the Lord's treatment of his injuries?"
Lu Yi pointed in the direction of Lu'an and Hefei, and glanced at Cheng Pu and Tai Shici.
Looking at the weathered face of Cheng Pu and thinking of the bloody battle on the city wall just now, Lu Yi said to Taishi Ci: "Old General Cheng just experienced a bloody battle on the city wall and is in urgent need of rest. Ziyi, it's you! Take Xu Shu with you and immediately Order five thousand soldiers and horses and rush to Lu'an to meet General Huang!"
"After General Huang took Ji Ling to Lu'an, you assisted General Huang in taking Lu'an, leaving some troops behind, and sent the main force to Hefei to control Hefei. I will rest here for a day. This is what I promised everyone before It belongs to the soldiers. After resting, I will lead the army over immediately."
Taishi Ci was not a hesitant person.
Taishi Ci hugged his fists towards Lu Yi, got on his horse, immediately called Xu Shu and his guards, ordered five thousand soldiers and horses, and galloped towards Lu'an.
Cheng Pu looked at Lu Yi with tears in his eyes.
He himself looked so miserable, and he still thought about his old bones.
Cheng Pu wiped his eyes, forced a smile, and said to Lu Yi: "Lord, you go into the city to deal with your injuries. I'll just come here. Although I was really tired just now, I won the battle, and I'm full of energy now!"
Lu Yi glanced outside Shuxian City, nodded, then handed the commander's flag to Cheng Pu, turned around and entered the city.
He didn't go far when he felt severe pain in his left shoulder.
I was focused on fighting just now, but I didn't feel anything.
Now that he has lost too much blood, his legs and feet are weak and his head is dizzy.
Just as he was about to fall, someone suddenly hugged him.
But it was Shi Huan.
Shi Huan looked remorseful when he saw Lu Yi looking like this.
Lu Yi looked at Shi Huan, squeezed out a pale smile and said: "What does it have to do with you? I yelled at you on the city wall just now, so I want to apologize to you. I didn't mean to yell at you, but at that time - —”
Shi Huan sniffed and said in a hoarse voice: "You are the lord, why do you need to apologize? I will take you to deal with the wound first. You cannot let me leave at any moment now."
Lu Yi smiled and said, "It's up to you."
The war is over, and there is no need for Shi Huan to fight any longer.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the city gate, they saw Nangong Yan walking out of the city, holding gauze and a pot of strong wine in his hand.
Instructing Shi Huan to put Lu Yi in the corner, Nangong Yan took off his coat, spread it on the ground, and asked Lu Yi to sit down.
Shi Huan hurriedly helped Lu Yi.
Nangong Yan pulled out the dagger from his waist and sneered: "That's right! Force is not enough, so we have to go to other places to provide assistance. If this happens in an accident, I think your death will be in vain."
Shi Huan said: "My lord, this is not the right thing to do. This is the overall situation."
Nangong Yan sneered: "The overall situation is bullshit! If the situation hadn't been critical at that time, I would have slapped him."
He used liquor to disinfect the wound. Seeing Lu Yi's brows knitted into knots, Nangong Yan also frowned and said, "It will hurt even more next time. Can you bear it?"
Lu Yi nodded, not daring to say a word.
He was hanging on for a breath now.
Saying a word made him feel like he was going to faint from the pain.
Seeing this, Nangong Yan took a deep breath, took a sip of liquor, sprayed the dagger all over, then cut open the flesh around the gun head, and slowly took out the gun head pierced into the shoulder.
Many people gradually gathered around.
Zhang Hong, Zhuge Jin, Wei Jing, Lu Xun, Lu Ji, Zhu Ran, Ling Tong, Zhou Fang and others also gathered around.
Zhou Yu actually came too.
However, he stood behind the crowd.
Watching Nangong Yan take out the gun tip for Lu Yi and treat the wound. Although Lu Yi was sweating in pain and his clothes were mixed with blood, he still didn't say a word. Zhou Yu also let out a long breath on his expressionless face.
Not that he's a coward.
Moreover, I don't know why, but I always feel that the same soldiers seem to be more united in his hands.
After Nangong Yan bandaged Lu Yi's wound, Lu Xun hurriedly stepped forward and wiped the sweat from Lu Yi's face with a handkerchief.
Lu Yi looked at the people around him, squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay, I'm fine. I said before that if we win, the whole army will have a day off."
Looking at Shi Huan, Lu Yi said: "Go and tell General Cheng to leave the necessary rotation personnel and let all other soldiers rest. We will have extra meals tomorrow."
Shi Huan waved to Zhu Ran and said, "Ran'er, go ahead!"
Zhu Ran said oh and ran away.
Lu Yi felt dumbfounded when he saw Shi Huan still supporting him.
It seemed that he was really prepared to stay with him.
Lu Yi looked at Lu Xun and others and said, "Is anyone injured? Where is Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Hong hurriedly walked out and said with a trembling voice: "I'm fine, my lord. Please go back and rest quickly."
Lu Xun said: "Brother, except for Ling Tong who suffered some skin injuries, everyone else is fine. Just now, soldiers attacked us on the city wall. Ling Tong noticed it, fought with him, and was stabbed in the thigh."
A chuckle sounded.
Ling Tong emerged from the crowd, patted his chest and said, "It's okay, it's just a minor injury! When my father and I were practicing martial arts, we were often injured!"
Lu Yi nodded at Lu Xun and Ling Tong and said, "Well done, you behave like a man! Go back and have a good sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, wait for delicious food!"
Ling Tong and others all responded.
Lu Yi then stood up with Shi Huan's support and prepared to lead everyone back to Shu County Government Office.
Cheng Pu will definitely report on the battlefield situation in the future, and he can't rest yet.
Not far away, I saw Zhou Yu still there.
Thinking of Zhou Yu's fight on the city wall just now, and seeming to remind himself that he was the one who opened the city gate to encircle him, Lu Yi nodded towards Zhou Yu and said: "General Cheng will come over later, and we will discuss the situation after controlling Hefei. If you don't mind, If it’s troublesome, could you go over and give me some advice?”
Zhou Yu glanced at Lu Yi, said nothing, and walked straight into the city.
Lu Yi then invited everyone to come in together.
Back at the government office, Lu Yi asked everyone to rest.
However, Zhang Hong, Zhuge Jin, Wei Jing and others did not go.
Everyone laid out mats directly in the government office hall and slept on the spot with their clothes on.
Zhou Yu was lying alone in a corner of the hall.
At dawn, Cheng Pucai rushed over with a group of generals. On the one hand, he reported on the situation of the battle, and on the other hand, he reported on the ambush situation on Huang Gai's side.
In this battle, there were originally 4,000 Jiangdong soldiers in the city and 6,000 Lujiang troops surrendered.
After the war, 2,135 Jiangdong soldiers died in the battle, and almost all the others suffered injuries of varying degrees.
Six thousand Lujiang troops surrendered, and 1,500 people were killed in the battle. 221 people were missing. Someone seemed to see them fleeing towards the city. 270 people were seriously injured and more than 3,000 people were slightly injured.
As for the prisoners, a total of 21,000 Yuan Jun soldiers were captured this time.
Yuan Jun lost 9,720 people in battle.
Fifty-nine war horses were captured.
There are countless catapults and other supplies.
In addition to these, 215 of the original 792 Danyang elites were killed in this battle, 39 were seriously injured, and more than 300 were slightly injured.
The pottery merchant also followed Tian Yu at this time.
Hearing Cheng Pu report these figures, Tao Shang and Shi Huan's faces were filled with sadness.
When they followed Lu Yi, there were a thousand of them, all elites who had gone through countless wars, big and small.
Now, it has dropped sharply to this point.
Lu Yi was also a little sad.
Looking at the pottery merchant, Lu Yi said: "Mr. Shang, during this period, you took the injured Danyang elites to Shu County to recuperate. The remains of the soldiers who died in the battle were sent back to Danyang. After that, you spent a lot of money to recruit the strongest elites in Danyang. Scholars, keep the number of elite Danyang at about a thousand."
The potter responded.
Cheng Pu asked: "What about the two hundred and twenty-one missing Lujiang troops? Do you want to search the city now?"
Lu Yi pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said to Cheng Pu: "Let them go! They are surrendering troops, so how can we ask them to be in the same boat as us?"
After a pause, Lu Yi continued: "Tell the other Lujiang soldiers that I am a clansman of the prefect Lu Kang and will not do anything to them. Now that the war in Lujiang is over, I am willing to stay in the army and will not be treated differently like the soldiers from Jiangdong. And they will get an extra rank in the military merit book. Those who don’t want to stay in the army can leave after extra meals tomorrow. Anyone who leaves will not be held accountable."
Cheng Pu nodded heavily and said, "Then let's talk about the next thing, about Huang Gai's army."
Everyone immediately held their breath.
This battle was all because of Huang Gaina's ambush!
Even Zhou Yu was a little nervous at this time.
Cheng Pu glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "Information came from the front. Huang Gai's army is going well. They have captured Ji Ling and persuaded him to surrender, and are heading to Lu'an."
Everyone laughed out loud.
A look of pride also appeared on Zhou Yu's face.
Lu Yi looked at Zhou Yu and said, "Thanks to Brother Gongjin!"
Zhou Yu suppressed his smile and ignored it.
Lu Yi was not embarrassed. He smiled and looked at Tian Yu, who was obviously separated from the others in the crowd, and said, "Where is Tian Yu?"
Everyone became quiet again and looked at Tian Yu curiously.
Many people still know nothing about Tian Yu.
Tian Yu hurriedly stepped forward, bowed and saluted: "The general is here!"
Lu Yi smiled and said: "In view of what you said when you came here before, this time I will reward you first! From now on, you will be the captain of Lujiang, and the safety of Lujiang in the future will depend on you."
"After taking control of Hefei and possibly confronting Cao Cao, I will recruit you to fight in all directions."
Tian Yu was stunned for a moment.
There was a warmth in his heart.
Appointing himself the captain of Lujiang was not only a reward based on his merits, but also allowed him to avoid the embarrassment of running into Liu Guanzhang later.
Tian Yu knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "I will go through fire and water for my lord without hesitation!"
