Jiangzhou, Sangluozhou battlefield.
The setting sun is like blood, and it is almost dusk. On the battlefield with a radius of more than ten miles, corpses are scattered all over the field. Tens of thousands of Tianshi Dao sergeants are standing nearly three miles away from the battlefield, looking at this with maniacal laughter. The killings on the battlefield have not stopped yet.
Groups of thousands of immortal monsters are wandering back and forth on the battlefield. Their bodies are covered with a faint black aura, and their fingers have long black nails. They are unable to move when encountering them on the battlefield. The wounded soldiers of the Jin army turned and groaned, clawing and biting their mouths fiercely, while the horrific screams echoed on the battlefield, even covering up the cries of crows and wild dogs in the sky and in the mountains and forests.
From time to time, the remnants of the Jin army, covered with wounds and armor covered with arrow shafts, were running around in a panic. As long as they could stay away from these terrifying immortal monsters on the battlefield, their only thought was, and they also gathered in groups. A group of more than ten Tianshi Dao sergeants laughed loudly, or under the leadership of one or two leading cavalry, fired arrows at these stragglers, as if they were hunting, or When they saw these lone guys putting down their weapons and kneeling down to beg for mercy, they went up and cast a net, directly catching these heavily armored Jin soldiers in the net, and then wrapped several layers of ropes outside and held them behind them, like It pulls up like a prey.
In the open space in the distance, five or six thousand Jin soldiers who had been snagged like this had fallen in random directions. Just half a day ago, these people were still very high in morale and arrogant, but now, they have lost their courage. , the captives who were lingering and being slaughtered by others, no one would have believed that the majestic Yuzhou Army, the invincible army led by Liu Yi, the famous general in the world, who swept through Jingchu, would have such a result.
Lu Xun was wearing a Taoist robe, standing on a high hillock, and Xu Daofu was wearing a general's robe and armor, standing side by side with him. The nearest guards were dozens of steps away from the hillock, and on the battlefield ahead there were waves of "The Heavenly Master is on top." The cheers of "Give me divine power" followed the sharp wind and penetrated into their ears. Lu Xun couldn't help but bring up a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Daofu, since we raised the army, these ten After several years of fighting, today can be said to be the happiest victory."
Xu Daofu nodded: "Second brother, you are right. When I ambushed Xie Yan and captured the eight counties of Wudi in one night, I was never as happy as today. After all, what we eliminated this time was the Second Division of the Beifu Army. The Yuzhou Legion, led by the No. 1 figure Liu Yi himself, can be regarded as avenging the countless believers who died at the hands of Liu Yi."
Having said this, Xu Daofu shook his head: "It's a pity that Liu Yi ran away. This guy's ability to escape is better than his ability to fight. From the beginning to the end, we didn't see where this guy was. Under the circumstances, he is just his substitute. The longer this boy fights, the less courageous he becomes. I originally thought that he would be like He Wuji, rushing to the front personally, and dying heroically in the end, living up to his reputation as a general. Woolen cloth."
Lu Xun smiled and waved his hand: "He Wuji is a man of one mind. Just like Liu Laozhi, he is the one who charges first. Liu Yi is different from him. He has always been the gang leader and will not be the first one. Instead, he directed his men to fight and he had to control the overall situation. Only when he was sure of victory, he would attack first. Therefore, I did not expect to kill Liu Yi from the beginning of this battle. "
Speaking of this, Lu Xun smiled proudly: "However, Liu Yi's elite main force was almost wiped out in one battle. The Yuzhou Army that he has worked hard to build for many years since Jingkou Jianyi was almost completely handed over today. Here, he has killed more than ten thousand people and captured six thousand people. I am afraid that there are only about a hundred people who escaped with him, and they did not dare to escape from the front."
Xu Daofu shook his head: "I'm afraid not necessarily. If Liu Yi escapes back to the camp at this time, and there are troops left behind in the camp, he can still resist in the camp." Lu Xun waved his hand: "You forgot the cloak. Did you tell us? He will deal with it at the camp. If Liu Yi still has more than 10,000 troops in hand, he may return to the camp and wait for reinforcements. But now the whole army has been wiped out. If Liu Yi escapes back at this time The camp may be seeking death. In this case, the troops remaining in the camp will either break up, or they may be kidnapped and surrendered to us. This is the saying of fleeing without seeking relatives."
Xu Daofu laughed: "If he doesn't take the main road, then there is only one option, and that is to flee into the barbarian villages of the clan in the north of Jiangzhou and the west of Yuzhou, and walk from the Dabie Mountains.
Okay, risk being killed by these barbarians and escape on foot. These tribesmen followed Yang Qiu and other chiefs and arrived here during the Battle of Feishui with the former Qin army. Later, when the former Qin Dynasty was destroyed, Fu Hong, the prince of Qin State, also brought some tribesmen south to join the Jin Dynasty and were captured by the Jin Dynasty. Rooms are placed in these remote areas. "
"When Liu Yi defeated Huanxuan, Fu Hong still remembered the kindness of being taken in by the Huan family and fought for Huanxuan. In the end, he was killed by Liu Yi's troops. Many of his clansmen were also killed. These people are similar to Liu Yi. There is deep hatred, if Liu Yi falls into their hands this time, I'm afraid not even his body will be left behind."
Lu Xun nodded: "It's a pity that we released 3,000 immortals in this battle. Now their medicinal properties have not yet arrived, and they are still wandering on the battlefield. They will not only attack the remnants of the Jin army, but also attack us. This makes us We missed the opportunity to pursue the Jin army who fled the battlefield. We also gave Liu Yi the opportunity to escape with his life. Now, we have to think carefully about what to do next."
Xu Daofu frowned: "What, you still want to turn around and capture Jingzhou to stabilize the rear?"
Lu Xun said in a deep voice: "We all made a mistake and mistrusted Zhu Chaoshi, which resulted in the disastrous defeat of Jiangling Water Battle and the sinking of four giant ships. Now Liu Daogui has stabilized Jingzhou and has seriously threatened our rear. Although we defeated We defeated Liu Yi and wiped out the Yuzhou Army, but the instability of the rear is always a trouble. Doupeng has no good way to help us win Jingzhou. Even the army of the Later Qin Dynasty stationed troops in the Central Plains, but it has been standing still for the past few months, and even It's hard to say whether we are friends or enemies. If we take advantage of this great victory and return to the army, we can first eliminate Liu Daogui and capture Jingzhou, and then attack Jiankang with our majestic army by land and water. Wouldn't that be safer?"
Xu Daofu sighed: "Second brother, now that things have happened, do we have any other choice besides attacking with all our might? You have to wait until Liu Yu rushes back to Jiankang with his army, then even if we win Jingzhou, so what?"
