When Liu Yu led Donglai from the north to attack the camp, Wang Mi was fiercely fighting for the camp gate with the defending Jin army.

The Jin army led by Xue Yong had just repelled Wang Mi's attack and was full of confidence in victory. Xue Yong wanted to teach these Donglai thieves a lesson.

Unexpectedly, suddenly there was a loud noise from the camp wall to the north. Soon after, Xue Yong, who was guarding the south camp gate, saw that some Jin troops in the camp began to escape. Then another fire broke out in the camp. I don’t know what happened. The people set fire to the tents and provisions in the camp.

Soon, more and more Jin troops fled. Xue Yong and the soldiers around him even heard the shouts of the prefect Pei Jun fleeing. Many soldiers quietly retreated after discovering that they could not see the general's flag in the camp. , also joined the ranks of the escape.

At this time, the sky and the firelight in the camp made the vision very clear. Xue Yong looked to the north and saw a large number of black-clad Donglai troops pouring in from a gap in the northern camp wall and occupying most of the northern camp. The Jin army was completely defeated, and there was no organized defense at all.

Moreover, Xue Yong could no longer see Huangfu Qin and Cui Meng, and the soldiers around Xue Yong who were originally high-spirited to fight began to panic.

"Master, Prefect Pei really ran away." A soldier said anxiously to Xue Yong. This soldier had very good eyesight. From a distance on the camp wall, he saw a group of people surrounding Beihai Prefect Pei Jun, escaping through the pontoon bridge. Arrived on the other side of Weishui River.

"Lord Governor, the camp can no longer be defended. The thieves from the north have reached the west gate."

"Lord Governor, the pontoon is broken!"

"The Donglai thieves below are about to attack again. Lord Governor, if we don't leave, it will be too late."

"Lord Governor, you can't leave if you are entangled by thieves!"

The soldiers around Xue Yong were all extremely anxious. Seeing that the situation was over, it was meaningless to defend the south gate. When the Donglai thieves in the north occupied the entire camp, they would become turtles in the urn.

"Forget it, come with me!" Xue Yong saw that there was nothing he could do, and the pontoon was broken. If he couldn't grab the boat, he really wouldn't be able to escape.

Xue Yong led his soldiers to abandon the camp gate and fled toward the west gate near Weishui. Seeing this, the other Jin soldiers also dispersed and fled for their lives.

Before Xue Yong could reach the west gate, he saw from a distance that the entrance to the camp was heavily blocked by Jin soldiers squeezing each other to escape. Xue Yong made a prompt decision and led his soldiers to jump off the ten-foot-high camp wall.

But when Xue Yong led his soldiers to the place where the ferries were parked, they found some ferries capsized in the water and there were no ships available.

Several soldiers took off their armor, jumped into the water and turned over an overturned ferry. Xue Yong and his party climbed onto the boat with difficulty, but could not find the oars. They paddled with their hands and swords and barely escaped. shore.

At this time, a large number of Donglai rebels rushed out from the west gate of the camp, and a large number of Donglai rebels jumped off the camp wall on the south side and began to hunt down the Jin soldiers who were trapped by the river.

Liu Yu led the Donglai Army to occupy the west gate of the camp. After rushing out of the west gate, Liu Yu saw a large number of Jin soldiers crowded on the bank. At this time, there were no boats on the river, and these broken soldiers were already in a dead end.

"Send the order, and those who surrender will avoid death." Liu Yu saw that the Jin army had been completely defeated, and there was no need to pursue him. Moreover, by accepting the enemy's surrender, he could avoid these defeated troops and trapped beasts still fighting, and reduce the casualties of some Donglai Army soldiers.

Soon the soldiers of Dongnae Army began to shout, "Surrender to avoid death, surrender quickly!"

"Surrender to avoid death, surrender quickly!"

"Surrender to avoid death, surrender quickly!"

Soon, a large number of Jin soldiers who were advancing and retreating by the river threw away their weapons and surrendered.

After an hour, all the Jin soldiers had their weapons and armor confiscated and were detained separately.

After this battle, the 5,000 soldiers under Liu Yu's command, whether it was his own 1,000 troops or the 4,000 soldiers given to him by Liu Bogen, all surrendered to Liu Yu's admiration.

Liu Bogen's four thousand soldiers, from the military marquis and brigade commander to the captain, are all Liu Bogen's descendants.

Originally, these people were quite dissatisfied with Liu Yu suddenly becoming their commander-in-chief. Although Liu Yu made great achievements in battle, Liu Yu was an outsider.

But today's battle almost dispelled all their dissatisfaction, because it was not until they, the Donglai army from the north, attacked the Jin camp and occupied the west gate that Wang Mi from the south led his army to capture the south camp. Door.

When they had begun to accept prisoners, Wang Mi's tribe in the south began to chase the Jin army and rushed to the river.

Recently, these direct descendants of Liu Bogen have had many rifts with Wang Mi's tribe.

Especially after the Battle of Jiaodong, many of Wang Mi's subordinates showed arrogance in front of them many times because they rescued Liu Bogen's tribe at critical moments.

This hearty victory made Liu Bogen's direct descendants greatly embarrassed in front of Wang Mi's tribe, and all of this was almost due to Liu Yu, so they were somewhat grateful to Liu Yu.

And they didn't know what Liu Yu used to blast the camp wall. They only knew that after a thunder, the camp wall flew into the sky.

These Liu Bogen's direct descendants spread rumors to each other. Liu Yu must have received Liu Bogen's true inheritance, and then he had Daoling Tianshi's magical method of attracting thunder from the sky. Otherwise, how could the earth be blown up after a thunder? Where is the wall?

Since Liu Bogen passed on such important immortal Taoism to Liu Yu, Liu Yu must be a direct disciple, and his relationship with them, Liu Bogen's direct lineage, does not seem to be that far away.

Anyway, Liu Bogen's direct descendants, who were originally disobedient and resentful, are now much closer to Liu Yu.

At this time, Liu Yu did not take into account the changes of these people at all, but was busy discussing with Wang Mi and others the distribution of prisoners and spoils, as well as the follow-up attack plan.

Liu Yu asked his men to make rough statistics. They found that the Donglai army had more than 100 killed and less than 300 wounded. More than 1,000 Jin soldiers were killed in the battle, and more than 4,000 Jin soldiers were captured, including wounded soldiers. There were five to six hundred people. Many Jin soldiers who were not good at swimming drowned while swimming across the river. It is impossible to count.

Therefore, Liu Yu concluded that the Jin army that crossed the Weishui River was probably worth only 2,000 people.

In Liu Yu's view, this victory was even a bit absurd. The Jin army's tens of thousands of troops had already fled when less than 10% of the Jin army's casualties were casualties. In Liu Yu's view, the Donglai army soldiers who were barely passing the level, With a casualty ratio of one to ten, they defeated the Jin army of the same size.

If Liu Yu had not had modern memories and knew that Liu Bogen and Wang Mi in history would be pushed to the ground and rubbed severely by Youzhou cavalry at the foot of Linzi City, then Liu Yu himself would have felt that the Donglai Army was invincible.

In addition, according to statistics, although the food, grass, tents, etc. were basically burned, more than 200 war horses and 5,000 to 6,000 weapons and armor were also seized. Especially these weapons and armor, they are all top-quality goods from the Beihai County arsenal, and are better than most. Now Donglai Army soldiers wear better armor.

Just next to the camp left by the Jin army, Liu Yu and Liu Bogen's clan generals were from one faction, and Wang Mi, Wang Sang, Xu Miao, Gao Liang, Cao Yi, and Wang Ling were from another faction. The two factions were fighting for the distribution of prisoners and loot. , started a wrangling battle.
