The camp was filled with blood, and even after Ma Yin died in battle, Zhang Guihou could not hold on.
He is extremely brave and is a peak third-level general. He wants to break through and escape. It is difficult for Li Qiong to resist him alone. However, besides Li Qiong, there are several fierce generals in the camp at this time.
Mu Chun and Chen Da rushed over and joined forces with Li Qiong, and the three of them beat Zhang Guihou seriously.
Capture them alive.
The two generals were killed and captured. The generals and soldiers of Cao Jun and Yuan Jun could no longer hold on and collapsed completely. A large number of rebel soldiers wanted to break out from all directions.
However, with the camp walls blocking their way, the fortress they built became a barrier preventing them from escaping.
Along with the slogan, those who surrender will not be killed.
Only a small part of the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers escaped, and most of them were captured.
Seeing the complete victory in this battle, everyone on the chariot had smiles on their faces.
Bu Zhao said: "We defeated Ji Ling and Zhang Guiba's 20,000 elite troops in this battle. When the news comes out, the other side will definitely be frightened. If my lord recruits the Nanliang Army, we can completely stabilize the overall situation!"
Indeed, 20,000 elite soldiers is not a small number for Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba. Fully one-fifth of the troops.
The sudden loss of 20,000 people was not as simple as breaking their muscles and bones for them.
Fortunately for Yuan Shu, he had an army of 100,000 and could bear the loss of 10,000.
But it is hard to say about Zhang Guiba of the Cao Army.
As long as Wang Jing continues to lead his troops forward and join forces with Xiao Yuanming and Zhang Lin, this time Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba's plan to jointly attack the Tang army will be completely shattered.
"If Zhang Guiba doesn't want to be attacked from both sides by us and Zhang Lin, he will definitely withdraw his troops immediately after receiving the news!"
"My lord, I suggest leaving the guardsmen to guard the prisoners. The main force of our army will be dispatched immediately. If Zhang Guiba dares to retreat, we can take advantage of the victory to pursue him!"
Zhu Wu suggested.
Wang Jing did not respond immediately, but looked at the battlefield ahead.
At this time, the enemy soldiers seemed to have lost their souls, either kneeling on the ground or half sitting on the ground. In the past few days, they had been subjected to continuous fierce attacks and repeated bombardments from kerosene bombs.
Their mental state is very sensitive, and now they have suffered a huge defeat.
Even the elite and brave first-order warriors can't bear it. In the fortress that stretches for several miles, there are flags, weapons, corpses, and some food and supplies.
They were all cleaned up by Mu Chun and Chen Da with some guardsmen, and some of the military officials who accompanied the army counted and captured them.
There were also some war horses that were led away by Mu Hong.
The injured soldiers of the Sihong Army were sent to the rear to be stitched up and recuperated. If the injured prisoners of the enemy were seriously injured and difficult to treat, they were directly given a knife to cut off their pain.
Enemy prisoners who were slightly injured and could be nursed back to health were also gathered up and transported to the rear.
What Sihong lacks most now is human resources.
After these people recover from their injuries, whether they are integrated into guard soldiers or directly organized into military camps or civilian households, they can add strength to the growth of Wang Jing's power.
Noticing Wang Jing's expression, Bu Zhi and Zhu Wu did not continue speaking.
At this time, Li Kaifang, who arranged for manpower to pursue the fleeing soldiers and suppress the prisoners, returned with Mai Tiezhang, Qin Yanhui, Li Qiong and others who had made great contributions this time.
"Finally, I will pay my respects to my lord!"
The excitement on the faces of these generals, the thrill of leading an army to destroy a large army and defeating a powerful enemy, made them excited. Emotions are high.
When I was praying, my voice was subconsciously a little louder.
In the eyes of others, this kind of excitement is very similar to the general's unruly spirit.
Wang Jing laughed and didn't take it seriously. He stepped forward and grabbed Li Kaifang's arm. "This defeat of the powerful enemy depends entirely on General Li's deployment of troops. With the help of generals, there is no need to worry about failure!"
In front of so many people, even Li Kaifang was a little moved by being praised so much by her master.
The depression originally caused by the death of all the old brothers in Taiping Camp seemed to have quietly dissipated at this moment.
Wang Jing praised Li Kaifang repeatedly and gave Li Kaifang the first victory in this battle.
After praising the other party, Wang Jing did not forget the generals who led the troops to attack the fortress, and patted Li Qiong, Lin Renzhao and others on the shoulders without warning.
And promoted Si Xingfang to guerrilla general and Lin Renzhao to deputy Qianhu on the spot. Others also have their own rewards.
This is a reward for the generals. In addition to them, there are also those soldiers who have made meritorious service...
For the ordinary soldiers who made meritorious service this time, Wang Jing also asked the civil servants to record their merits. If the family members of those who died in the battle had double pensions, they would be allocated an additional twenty acres of land in the future.
Soldiers who have made meritorious deeds can also choose sword and spear skills from the military body training method as rewards.
For ordinary soldiers.
At this stage, it is most important to give them a body-building method and skills. If they master swordsmanship and marksmanship, they will have greater hope of surviving in the battle, and if they can transform their lives into the first or second level.
They will have the capital to become hundreds or thousands of households.
After joking with these generals for a while, Wang Jing calmed down and said: "Mr. Zhu just suggested that our army take advantage of the situation to pursue and join forces with the Tang army to defeat the Yuan and Zhang coalition forces. What do you think?"
"General, I feel that Mr. Zhu's words make sense. Zhang Guiba lost 20,000 troops and horses, and even his own brothers were captured alive by us. The morale must be in chaos. We and Zhang Lin will definitely win a great victory!"
Mai Tiezhang said first.
Mu Hong, Mu Chun, and Chen Da also nodded in agreement, while Li Qiong and Qin Yanhui's eyes flashed without speaking.
"The general feels that Zhang Guiba and Ji Ling will definitely retreat after receiving the news, but instead of joining forces with Zhang Lin to pursue them, it is better to recruit the Nanliang Army and the Tang Army first!"
Li Kaifang pondered for a moment and said.
Wang Jing smiled, his eyes fell on Bu Zhi and Zhu Wu, and said: "Mr. Zhu said that we should take advantage of the situation to pursue, what is Mr. Bu's opinion?"
In fact, Bu Zhi had already expressed his opinion just now.
He said that by recruiting the Nanliang Army first, the overall situation could be established.
It was obviously the same idea as Li Kaifang.
Bu Zhi said: "I think that Yuan Shushu has deep roots and Zhang Guiba's main force has not been defeated. If our army joins forces with Zhang Lin, the best result is to repel them and not be able to completely wipe them out!"
"At that time, if we are not careful, it will be a long-term war of attrition, which will be detrimental to our army! As time goes by, Zhang Lin will be able to regain his strength. By then, if the lord wants to solve the three major forces, there will be many obstacles out of thin air!"
"My lord, why don't you press forward slowly, let Zhang Guiba and Ji Ling retreat, recruit Xiao Yuanming first, and then merge with the Tang army! Let our army continue to grow!"
Wang Jing laughed, and what Bu Zhi said was pretty much what he thought.
After defeating Zhang Guihou, a normal person would definitely want to continue marching and join forces with Zhang Lin and others to defeat Yuan Shu and Zhang Guiba's main force.
But doing so is somewhat thankless.
Not all of the 50,000 troops sent by Yuan Shu were soldiers and horses. He still had 50,000 troops in Suining. Even if all the troops and horses led by Ji Ling were wiped out, Wang Jing would not be able to defeat Yuan Shu.
The same is true for Zhang Guiba.
The loss of 10,000 elites was a bit traumatic for him, but it was still far from destruction.
At that time, Wang Jing's troops quickly moved northward.
They fought hard despite being trapped, and fought back desperately. Wang Jing's troops would definitely suffer a lot.
