An hour later, the fighting on the battlefield had subsided.
The Huai army and Du Fuwei's soldiers and horses worked together to clean up the battlefield. A large number of soldiers of the former Qin army were so distraught that they were taken to the original camp of the Song army for guarding.
No matter whether it is the Han soldiers or the Hu cavalry in the former Qin army, there is no trace of anger at all.
Li Qiong sent people to clean up the battlefield of the rear army, and asked his generals to go to the former Qin camp for resettlement in accordance with the king's order.
As if stimulated by the wind, thunder and flames, the sky originally shrouded in dark clouds became increasingly gloomy, and the patter of rain gradually became heavier.
When the army is outside, it needs to take shelter in the camp when it rains to avoid catching cold and causing wind chill.
If the wind and cold come together, it will easily spread among the army.
Fortunately, Li Qiong brought a lot of cloud carts, and someone has already urged the cloud carts to go to Hukou to transport a large amount of medicinal materials to prevent epidemics in the army.
Set up camp, clear the battlefield, and collect prisoners.
There were a large number of military and Chinese officials to assist, and the process was carried out in an orderly manner according to the rules.
"As soon as Deng Qiang died, the military morale of the former Qin army completely collapsed! These Huqi have lost their courage, hehe, the bastards no longer dare to show their claws in front of us... The king defeated the enemy in this battle, it is really happy!"
A guerrilla general following Li Qiong looked happy.
On the way to the Huai Army camp in the rain, I kept joking with some of my companions.
"The former Qin army of 200,000 was completely wiped out in this battle. Maybe the king will soon set up a prefecture here! However, without the former Qin army, our Wuhe Camp will probably have to be changed from a military town to a prefectural city. !”
someone said.
"Wuhe is an important place to block the Huaihe River. Even if it is changed to Fucheng, it won't be so fast!" Another person said.
When Li Qiong heard this, his brows moved slightly.
The Wuhe Camp targets the former Qin Army. Once the former Qin Army is eliminated, the status of the camp will naturally decline.
It does feel good to be in charge of the camp, to defend one side, and to hold the authority.
However, Li Qiong had a long-term vision and had no intention of clinging to the authority of Wuhe Camp. In contrast, he was more willing to fight with the king.
Among the Huai army, only those who have made meritorious deeds can rise to the top.
He was able to take charge of the Wuhe camp because he was specially promoted by Wang Jing. In Wuhe for such a long time, Li Qiong could only make some small contributions. Seeing Zhang Lin and Zhang Guiba's status rising, he felt very envious in his heart.
This time, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a contribution by defeating the former Qin army and the rear army, and was transferred from the Wuhe camp.
Otherwise, he will only become more and more marginalized.
When everyone walked to the Huai Army camp in the rain, they saw a group of elites pressing a burly general covered in blood and with disheveled hair towards the place where the prisoners were being guarded.
Li Qiong couldn't help but glance at that person.
"What a strong evil spirit!"
He glanced around, called a Huai soldier, and asked, "What's going on with this man?"
The soldier quickly replied: "This man is the enemy general Zhang Hao. He was captured by General Fu not long ago. The king just summoned this man to persuade him to surrender. However, this man has a stubborn attitude, so he is temporarily sent back to prison for custody..."
When Li Qiong heard this, he looked at the man again.
"Is he Zhang Hao?"
No wonder he was so powerful. After being injured and captured, he still looked like a tied up bloodthirsty tiger. Ordinary people would shudder just looking at him.
As the commander-in-chief of the Wuhe Camp, he was across the river from the former Qin army, so he naturally knew the intelligence of the former Qin generals very well.
It's just that in the past, the two armies were separated by the Huaihe River, and there were only small-scale conflicts but no major battles. Gucheng
Li Qiong also saw Zhang Hao for the first time and knew the appearance of this powerful enemy.
Just by sensing the opponent's aura slightly, Li Qiong knew that his strength at his peak was far superior to his own.
"General Fu was able to capture Zhang Hao alive, which shows that his strength is still higher than that of Zhang Hao. However, why haven't I heard of General Fu's name? Could it be that he is a general who has just defected to the king?"
Li Qiong thought about it in his mind.
When he was about to reach the big tent, he and many generals stopped. After being informed by the attendant, Li Qiong walked into the big tent.
At this time, in the big tent, Bu Zhi, Han Xizai, Zhang Guiba, Fu Youde and others were sitting down and reporting the results of the battle.
Li Qiong was preparing to salute.
Then he saw Wang Jing waving his hand and asking him to sit aside.
After sitting down, Li Qiong heard the sound of walking echoing in the tent.
"... In this battle, more than 23,000 people were killed and about 75,000 were captured. The former Qin general Deng Qiang was killed by the king, Zhang Hao was captured alive, and the other former Qin generals died or surrendered. As for the food, grass and baggage , not counted yet!”
"This battle was a complete victory. The forces of the former Qin Dynasty were wiped out in the Jianghuai area. I congratulate the king!"
After Bu Zhi finished speaking, he raised his hands and bowed.
Wang Jing smiled and his eyes fell on Li Qiong. The failure to recruit Zhang Hao just now did not leave any waves in his heart. Although Zhang Hao was a talent, he could not compare with Deng Qiang.
He had already killed Deng Qiang. If Zhang Hao continued to be stubborn, he would not show any mercy.
"Li Qiong, what's the situation where you are?"
Li Qiong immediately stood up and said, "Report to your Majesty. The last general led his army to defeat the former Qin and the rear army. A total of more than 6,000 enemies were killed and 50,000 were captured. The king defeated the main force of the former Qin. The enemy's morale dropped greatly. The last general relied on the king." Only with the power of the tiger can we win..."
Wang Jing laughed and said: "You can take the opportunity to defeat the former Qin and the rear army, it is your ability, there is no need to be modest!"
After saying that, he looked at Du Fuwei and said with emotion: "This battle can be won greatly because General Du's adopted son has also made great contributions and made great contributions!"
In this battle, the Huai army won a complete victory, but it also suffered casualties.
The biggest casualty was the elite troops of Du Fuwei who served as the vanguard of the front army. Kan Leng was covered in blood during the fight and was the first to break into the enemy's formation together with Chen Lan and Chen Da.
Lun's meritorious service was enough to rank at the forefront. For this reason, most of the elite troops led by Kan Leng died in the battle.
These elite soldiers and horses were all Du Fuwei's hard work. In order to win Wang Jing's trust, it can be said that he paid a lot of money.
Others have expressed this, so Wang Jing naturally cannot ignore the other party's overtures.
He pondered slightly.
"Since General Du has surrendered to Gu, he has made great achievements in this battle... Gu's rule is that meritorious service must be rewarded, so be it!"
"Du Fuwei!"
Du Fuwei stood up quickly, "The general is here!"
"I will grant you the title of General of Staff and the title of General Yunhui. Wang Xiongdan and Kan Leng will be made guerrilla generals and follow the army to obey orders!"
Du Fuwei looked happy and thanked him quickly.
In the military system of the Huai Army, a general with 10,000 troops under his command is a mid-level and high-level general at this stage. Generals with military honors such as General Yunhui have a higher status than ordinary generals. In future battles, you can control other participating generals.
Second only to generals with general titles like Zhang Lin and Li Kaifang.
The Huai army's 10,000 soldiers and horses are comparable in strength to the 50,000 troops under his command.
With hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians defecting from Hukou, plus the contribution made in this battle, receiving such a reward was somewhat beyond his psychological expectations.
