The two sides fought fiercely all night, and by the next morning the fighting was basically over.
The main force of the rebel army led by Tang Yongxing was about 18,000 people. After this battle, the entire army was basically wiped out. Only a few people could successfully escape. The main general Tang Yongxing was also killed by Wang Shijie.
As for Chen Haoyuan, after a fierce battle for most of the night, Chen Haoyuan and the others finally broke through the encirclement. There are only about 300 people left in Chen Haoyuan's group, and basically everyone is injured. This shows how fierce the battle last night was. Li Hu also died in the battle last night to protect Guo Huaiyi.
Li Yong's body was now covered with wounds, and his clothes had already been stained red with blood, both the enemy's blood and his own. Li Yong was shaky on his horse, and blood was still dripping from the wounds.
Li Yong used his last breath to bring everyone out. Now that everyone had broken out, Li Yong was relieved. Due to excessive blood loss, Li Yong could no longer hold on and fell off the horse. Others saw this and hurried forward to check. .
At this time, Guo Huaiyi on the side suddenly said, "Can everyone step aside and let me take a look?" Chen Haoyuan asked curiously: Mr. Guo, can you still treat diseases? Guo Huaiyi smiled and said, "I know a little bit." After hearing this, Chen Haoyuan asked everyone to get out of the way.
Guo Huaiyi came to Li Yong. He first checked Li Yong's nose with his hand and found that he was still breathing. Then he asked someone to boil some boiling water to clean Li Yong's wound. After cleaning the wound, Guo Huaiyi carefully bandaged Li Yong.
After all this was done, Guo Huaiyi told Chen Haoyuan that now that resources were limited, he had simply treated Li Yong's wound. Li Yong's injury was now very dangerous and needed timely and effective treatment, otherwise the situation would be more disastrous. Chen Haoyuan Thinking that now is not the time to rest, the pursuers are behind and may catch up at any time.
So, Chen Haoyuan ordered someone to make a simple stretcher, and then asked two people to carry Li Yong on the stretcher. Chen Haoyuan thought that he must find a place to stay before dark. The most important thing is to find a place to stay. Li Yong treated the injury.
In this battle, the official army killed countless captured enemies. The rebel leader Tang Yongxing was also killed by Wang Shijie. The official army achieved a complete victory this time.
However, the officers and soldiers did not find the rebel leader Liu Jinrong when they were cleaning the battlefield. They only found a scarecrow wearing Liu Jinrong's clothes in the carriage he was riding in. The same situation was found in the carriage where the rebel strategist Zhou Pingchang and Shangshu Ling Qiao Tai were riding. These people seemed to have escaped from somewhere else.
Wang Shijie frowned after hearing the report from his subordinates, thinking that it would be difficult to catch the leader of the thief once he escaped. In this way, he would not be able to complete the task satisfactorily, and the emperor would not be too satisfied with such a result. .
At this time, Li Baosheng, who was standing aside, said, "There was a small group of rebels who escaped from the north gate last night." The general was incompetent and could not catch them all, but was the leader of the bandits among this group of people?
Wang Shijie thought it was very possible, so he ordered people to step up the search for the group of rebels who escaped from the north gate. He then ordered people to draw several portraits of important rebel figures based on the descriptions of the rebel prisoners, and then ordered people to send the portraits to Among the nearby counties and counties, Li Yong, the general of Zhenbei, was among them.
In the evening, Chen Haoyuan and his group came to a small forest to rest. They found some wild vegetables and leaves to cook and eat. Guo Huaiyi also found some herbs nearby. Then Guo Huaiyi put these herbs in a pot and cooked them into a medicinal soup for the wounded to take orally. external use.
It was still dark the next morning, and Chen Haoyuan and the others were still sleeping. At this time, the night watchman noticed that there were officers and soldiers nearby, and quickly called the others up. As soon as Chen Haoyuan was able to get up, he began to escape from the officers and soldiers and ran away. The officers and soldiers were behind them. It's a relentless pursuit.
In this way, Chen Haoyuan's group ran for more than ten days and finally got rid of the pursuers behind them. In fact, the main reason was that the pursuers behind them took the initiative to withdraw. Chen Haoyuan's group finally breathed a sigh of relief. The pursuers suddenly retreated. Chen Haoyuan and the others were a little confused, but it was a good thing to retreat anyway.
It turned out that just two days ago, the army finally captured Liu Jinrong and his group. The main reason why Liu Jinrong and his group were captured was that the ten boxes of jewelry they carried were so eye-catching.
Zhou Pingchang had previously persuaded Liu Jinrong to give up these jewels, or just bring a box with him, but Liu Jinrong loved money as much as his life and couldn't bear to part with it, and the portraits of Liu Jinrong and others are now posted everywhere.
Now that the rebel leader has been captured, those rebels who escaped by chance no longer have to look for it. This is the reason why the officers and soldiers who were chasing Chen Haoyuan and others suddenly retreated.
After Liu Jinrong was captured, Wang Shijie returned to the court with his troops. Emperor Gao Xi was very happy when he learned the news, and greatly rewarded Wang Shijie and his meritorious generals. This made the civil servants in the court envious and jealous.
Immediately afterwards, Gao Xi asked the eunuch to announce that Liu Jinrong and the rebels would be taken to the Meridian Gate at noon tomorrow to be beheaded. During the execution, Liu Zixing was so frightened that he kept crying and said that he did not want to die. Zhou Pingchang and Qiao Tai also had expressions on their faces at this time. Ashes.
However, Liu Jinrong took the lead at this time. First he scolded his son not to cry, and then said loudly: "I will be a good man again in eighteen years!"
In the morning, Chen Haoyuan woke up and found a snake not far from his crotch. This frightened Chen Haoyuan and screamed. When Gu Ping found out, he immediately told Chen Haoyuan not to scream, then slowly picked up his big knife and quietly approached the snake. It was a snake. Gu Ping raised his knife and struck the snake, and its head was dismembered in an instant.
Seeing that the danger was over, Chen Haoyuan got up from the ground. Chen Haoyuan saw that the snake's head on the ground still had its mouth tenaciously open, as if it was ready to bite at any time. The snake's body was still moving around on the ground. It must be said that the snake's vitality was Really tenacious.
After a while, the snake on the ground stopped moving. Chen Haoyuan picked up the snake body and peeled off the skin. Then he cut the snake meat into small pieces with a knife, then put it in a container and added some water to stew it.
After a while, the snake soup was ready. Chen Haoyuan swallowed the delicious snake soup several times. However, Chen Haoyuan did not stew this snake soup for himself, but for Li Yong, who was seriously injured and was still awake. Li Yong Now he was in great need of nutrition. After the snake soup had cooled down for a while, Chen Haoyuan picked it up and slowly fed it to Li Yong.
At this time, Guo Huaiyi also put the medicinal materials he had just picked into the pot and boiled it. After the medicinal soup was boiled, Guo Huaiyi first asked the injured people to drink half of the medicinal soup, and then asked them to clean their wounds with the medicinal soup after it cooled down.
Fang Qi also filled a bowl of soup for Li Yong to drink, then slowly used the soup to clean his wound, and finally re-bandaged Li Yong's wound.
Many people's injuries became inflamed because they were not treated in time, and some began to fester. After cleaning the wounds with medicine, they re-bandaged them. I heard from Mr. Guo that this medicine soup has the effect of activating blood circulation, removing blood stasis, reducing inflammation and stopping bleeding. Everyone The effect is really good after taking it internally and externally a few times.
After finishing all this, everyone found some wild vegetables and cooked some wild vegetable soup. After dinner, everyone had to hurry up again. Chen Haoyuan and the others didn't know where to go now, so they could only take one step at a time.
You definitely can't go back to Fangjiazhuang, otherwise it will harm other people. Rebellion is a serious crime that will destroy the nine tribes. Notices for Li Yong's arrest are now posted everywhere.
