"Now that the Sui army has been destroyed, most of Zhang Shicheng's main force has also been annihilated, and there is no one in Huaidong who can be an enemy of our army... The general believes that at this time, we should sweep across Huaidong with the force of a strong wind sweeping fallen leaves, and take advantage of the opportunity to wipe out Taizhou. Please also ask Your Majesty decides!"

After Fu Youde thanked him, he made another suggestion.

Wang Jingdao: "You are right, Tang Shengzong! I will give you six thousand men, plus your own troops, to pursue Zhang Shicheng, and join forces with Yang Kan to capture Taizhou!"

"As for Zhang Shicheng...it doesn't matter whether he lives or lives!"

"The last general takes command!"

Tang Shengzong immediately stood up and took orders loudly.

Finish these instructions.

Wang Jing walked out of the room and came to the city wall. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate. Instead, as the sky became darker and darker, there was a thunderbolt and drops of rain began to fall.

On the northern battlefield, there were still a large number of prisoners who had not been reorganized. A large number of corpses fell in the ravines, and many corpses were eroded and rotted by the river water, giving off a stench.

"Send an order for Su Wei to recruit doctors from Yangzhou City to prepare herbal medicines to prevent and treat the plague, and to send officials to dispose of the corpses to prevent the plague!"

When Wang Jing saw this scene, he immediately called his guards.

Plagues are always closely related to wars and natural disasters.

After the war, the Huai army also had regulations for gathering corpses to prevent the birth of plague. These regulations were sufficient for normal operations.

But the Sui army suffered too many casualties.

In addition, the 70,000 corpses damaged by the enemy were not dealt with in any way. These are all potential sources of pollution.

When the rain falls, the usual regulations cannot be solved. More doctors must be sent and more medicines must be prepared.

Wang Jing was also prepared for a rainy day and was fully prepared.

The plague is different from the enemy who can be seen and touched. It kills people invisibly, so it is always good to be well prepared. Once the plague comes and Wang Jing is unprepared, the losses to the Huai army may be greater than in this battle.

Click!

The original drizzle quickly became heavier, and the rain continued continuously, forming puddles on the ground.

puff!

Horse hooves trample on it, mud and water splash everywhere!

In the wilderness, thousands of people rode toward the east in the rain.

"Brother, the rain is too heavy. The Huai Army's bastards won't come so fast. Let's find a place to take shelter from the rain first!"

one person shouted.

Zhang Shicheng was surrounded by thousands of people and broke out from the battlefield. However, there was definitely a price to pay for the breakout. There were originally more than 10,000 elite soldiers, but they were forcibly shaved off during the breakout.

After they came out, there were only more than 8,000 soldiers and horses left. Among them, the general Li Bosheng fell into the formation and died in the battle in order to cut off their rear.

They originally planned to run to the Yanyan River and return to Taizhou by boat.

When they ran to the river, they were attacked by a Huai army cavalry ambushing here.

The Huai army's cavalry general Mu Hong was not strong enough to crush them.

However, Zhang Shicheng's more than 8,000 horses had just broken through. They were trapped and depleted, and their morale was low. They were unable to fight back against the Huai army's cavalry, who had gathered strength and strength. No matter how powerful Zhang Shicheng's generals were, they were not at the level to reverse the situation.

Of course.

Zhang Shicheng's troops were defeated again, and all the ships were captured by the Huai army. They could only panic and flee again.

This time, of the eight thousand soldiers, only four thousand remained.

The rain was pouring, and more than 4,000 people were galloping on horseback. The raindrops hit their faces in the strong wind, which was painful. The cold wind continued to take away the heat from their bodies through their armor and clothes.

Ordinary soldiers were blown away until their faces turned blue, and from time to time some fell off their horses and fell behind.

Even the generals who had refined their Gang Qi couldn't bear it after running in the rain for several hours. Their faces turned pale and their beards and hair were soaked.

Among them, Zhang Shixin saw that there was heavy rain in the wilderness and there were no Huai army pursuers at all, so he couldn't help but scream.

General Xu Yi also shouted: "King Cheng, our brothers can no longer hold on any longer. We must find a place to take shelter from the rain first..."

Zhang Shicheng's face turned pale and he looked at the sky.

The rain seemed to be unstoppable for a while, and the thousands of soldiers following him were shaky on their horses. They had indeed reached their limit.

"Okay, take shelter from the rain first!"

Zhang Shicheng nodded, and then personally led his guards to speed up and look for shelter from the rain ahead.

At this time, Zhang Shicheng was not the King of Wu who only enjoyed wealth and wealth in the original world.

He still retains a part of his heroic spirit, being able to get along well with his soldiers, and is also willing to do some chores himself to stabilize the morale of the army.

At this time, the thousands of soldiers following him were cold, hungry, and had just suffered a major defeat.

There are only a few thousand people left in the army of more than 100,000, which is extremely miserable.

But seeing Zhang Shicheng personally looking for shelter from the rain for them, the hearts of these thousands of soldiers were somewhat touched.

soon.

Zhang Shicheng led his people to find a shelter from the rain. They found a village composed of hundreds of people at the foot of a hillside more than ten miles away. This village and town was considered to be under the rule of Yangzhou.

However, not long after Yangzhou fell to the Huai Army, Wang Jing only occupied Yangzhou City and some surrounding counties and villages with more than 10,000 people.

A village like this consisting of hundreds of people will not be able to accept it for a while.

At this time, the village became Zhang Shicheng's shelter from the rain. Thousands of people arrived, directly driving hundreds of people in the village out of their houses and occupying the houses to take shelter from the rain.

Then all the chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep in the village were slaughtered.

The people in the village were frightened, and under the intimidation of the soldiers, they made fires to cook and prepare hot soup for thousands of people.

In this process.

Inevitably, some generals and soldiers vented their frustration and fear. When they were not satisfied, they drew their swords and killed dozens of people. The pretty women in the village were sent to Zhang Shicheng, Zhang Shide and other generals to serve them.

Other women fell into the hands of soldiers...

Zhang Shicheng was in the room and took a sip of hot soup to finally calm down the coldness in his body. He could hear the faint sound of a woman wailing and moaning in the distance.

"well!"

He sighed and pretended not to hear.

He was born in poverty and felt empathy for the people at the bottom, so he was kind to the people after he became rich, and had an excellent reputation among the people. In the history of the world, even if he died fighting for hegemony, he would still be worshiped by people in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years...

If possible, he would not let his soldiers kill people and humiliate women.

But right now, the army has just been defeated, and the soldiers are running away. The emotions in their hearts have collapsed to the limit, if they don't vent them out. The unlucky one became his master.

"Brother, brothers are exhausted. It's getting late today. Why not spend the night here and leave tomorrow!"

In the room, Zhang Shide, Zhang Shixin, Xu Yi and others were all there.

"No, the Huai Army's pursuers are still behind, and they will catch up at some point. What if we waste time here and get caught up?"

Zhang Shide said immediately.

Zhang Shixin's face twitched, and he was blocked as soon as he spoke. He couldn't help but feel a little angry, but it was his second brother who spoke. He could only hold back his emotions and said: "Didn't the eldest brother just say that the rain will not stop for a while? It’s impossible for the pursuers to pursue in the rain!”

"Brothers have been riding horses in the rain for several hours today. If we don't take a break, we won't be able to mount our horses again..."

While their brothers were arguing, Xu Yi stood aside and said nothing.

Zhang Shicheng frowned. Although his third brother Zhang Shixin was usually a little brainless and had a bad temper, what he said now made sense.
