Zhang Jiaping wanted to kill himself, but was stopped by his own soldiers and was finally captured by Ma Yanbin.

After the battle, Shi Ai cleaned up the battlefield while sending people to pursue the deserters. He didn't care if the Qi army fled to other places, but he couldn't let them flee to Deyang and Chengdu.

"General Shi is worthy of being the person chosen by the marshal, I once thought that I would not be able to win today. Chen Lu said admiringly.

Shi Ai saw that his left arm was still dripping with blood and there were many injuries on his body, so he said with concern: "I have asked someone to find Lang Zhong, and I will bandage it as soon as possible."

"It's just a little injury, it's not in the way, it's so happy!" Chen Lu couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

After a while, he said: "I just want to fight Chengdu as soon as possible, and then go to Hanzhong to help the marshal."

"The marshal didn't ask me to lead the troops to Hanzhong, I believe that the marshal will definitely be able to defeat the Qi army in Hanzhong."

Ma Yanbin walked over, "The last general was ashamed and didn't stop Deng Yongqi."

Shi Ai comforted: "It's okay, General Ma has also worked hard today."

Ma Yanbin sighed with relief: "If it weren't for General Chen's final retreat of Feng Yunsong, I am afraid it would be difficult to win today."

Shi Ai nodded slightly, agreeing with Ma Yanbin's words.

Unlike the original battle of Tianze Mountain, Li Zhao was very sure of victory when he launched a general attack on Huang Jinyun. At the beginning of the war, Shi Ai didn't know that he would fight like this today.

Feng Yunsong made two fatal mistakes, when the right wing was weak, he did not send troops to break through the right flank first, and put all his hopes on Deng Yongqi and Zhang Jiaping. and underestimated the three thousand elite soldiers led by Chen Lu, and when Chen Lu sacrificed his life, he did not fight with him in close combat, but retreated backwards, affecting the rest of the Qi army.

As long as Feng Yunsong can hold on for a while longer, Deng Yongqi will kill in front of Shi Ai.

Reviewing the entire battle in his heart, Shi Ai had to admit that this was a dangerous battle, and it was not easy for the Zhaowu army to win, and at the same time, it paid a lot of price.

Counting the deserters, the Zhaowu army lost nearly half of its soldiers, and Jiang Feng, Li Heng, Wang Bo and others were all killed on the battlefield, which is not tragic.

"Rest for a day, draw 3,000 people from the surrendered troops, merge them into the Zhaowu army, and attack Deyang tomorrow. Shi Ai Dao.

"Yes!"

Shi Ai forcibly summoned all the Langzhong in Miancheng and ordered them to treat the wounded of the Zhaowu Army at all costs.

The soldiers who can survive this bloody battle are definitely elite. They crossed the mountains all the way into Shu, and Shi Ai couldn't bear to give up on them. Even if it is a seriously injured person, we will try to treat it.

This night, Shi Ai hardly rested. Patrol the camp back and forth to comfort the wounded.

As for the wounded soldiers of the captured Qi army, due to the insufficient number of Langzhong, they could not be taken care of for the time being. Many people's lives are slowly withering in pain because they are not treated in time. Shi Ai is not a hard-hearted person, but he really can't do anything.

There were so many people killed in the battle that the bodies outside the camp have not been buried. Shi Ai looked at it numbly, and had an epiphany in his heart, the so-called "one will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither", it turned out to be like this.

The next day, Ma Yanbin took 3,000 soldiers and went to Deyang first.

When Deyang Taishou learned of Feng Yunsong's defeat, he was terrified, and took the initiative to open the city gate and hang the flag high.

The Zhaowu army did not spend a single soldier and easily captured Deyang.

Not only Deyang, but also several nearby cities, there were also people who contacted the Zhaowu army and expressed their willingness to surrender. In order to show their sincerity, some cities took the initiative to send large quantities of money and food.

Yesterday's battle not only defeated tens of thousands of Qi troops, but also completely shattered the last hope of the Shu people.

Everyone realized that with Shudi's own strength, it was impossible to win. As for the arrival of the imperial court's reinforcements, no one knows. Even if it comes, whether it can be won or not is still two different things. Thinking that Feng Yunsong and Deng Yongqi were defeated, the Shu people lost even more confidence.

After Shi Ai entered Deyang City, he took money and food from the city and openly recruited soldiers. Chen Ran still has thousands of soldiers, and Chengdu is a fortified city, and it takes several times more troops to besiege Chengdu.

Shi Ai handed over the new pawn to Ma Yanbin for training, and gave Ma Yanbin a copy of the "Zhaowu Army Training Outline". He also repeatedly stressed the need to train non-commissioned officers in strict accordance with the "Training Outline."

Before attacking Chengdu, Shi Ai had one more important thing to do. Summoned the generals in the army, and said bluntly: "At present, there are only a few thousand people in Qutang Pass, and Qutang Pass is the eastern gateway of Shudi. If it is not captured as soon as possible, the Qi army will continue to enter Shu from Qutang Pass. Ladies and gentlemen, who wants to go to Qutang Pass?"

One of the commanders immediately stood up.

Shi Ai saw that it was Liu Beichen, the general of the thousand-person battalion. What he didn't know was that Liu Beichen was a soldier in the Yongwang Mansion before. Unlike Liu Xuan, Zhou Wen and others, he has always been loyal to Li Zhao.

In this battle, Liu Beichen showed bravery, assisted Ma Yanbin, and fought the left flank. delayed the collapse of the left wing and made a lot of contributions.

"I know that after this battle, the soldiers were exhausted. But at the moment, the time is urgent, and it is not less than four or five hundred miles away from Qutang Pass, so it is necessary to set off as soon as possible. I will give you 3,000 men, pretending to be Zhang Jiaping's Qi army, and attack Qutang Pass. After a little preparation, let's leave today!" Shi Ai said.

Liu Beichen said solemnly: "The last general will obey the order!"

Looking at the back of Liu Beichen leaving, Shi Ai said secretly, after Li Zhao defeated Shen Tian in Hanzhong, it is estimated that a new group of generals will appear in the army. Chen Lu is brave enough, but unfortunately his personality is impatient. If he is allowed to lead the troops alone, it is difficult to reassure people, and his achievements in the future may not be as good as Liu Beichen.

"Everyone, hurry up and take a rest, and in three days, the whole army will go to Chengdu. "

Yes!" said in unison.

Ma Yanbin said suddenly: "I don't know what mood Chen Ran is in now, I guess I can't even eat."

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter, and Shi Ai couldn't help laughing.

Ma Yanbin guessed correctly, after Chen Ran learned that Feng Yunsong was defeated. His eyes were black, and he almost fell to the ground.

The people around him hurriedly helped him to the seat, Chen Ran seemed to have lost his mind, and muttered incomprehensibly: "It's over! It's all over........"

When it was time to eat, the housekeeper came to call him to eat. Even shouted a few times, Chen Ran didn't react at all. The housekeeper was forced to increase his voice, Chen Ran suddenly stood up, picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it at the housekeeper, and roared: "Get out!"

The housekeeper was startled and crawled outside the house. After running for a short time, Chen Ran chased after him and said loudly: "Go and call Changshi and several generals, hurry up!"

While waiting for everyone, Chen Ran was like an ant on a hot pot. One moment sat down, the other stood up, sweating profusely on his forehead. I thought that this battle would be nine out of ten, but I would lose so badly. I regret it very much in my heart, I should have listened to Feng Yunsong's words, gathered the troops and money and food of Shu in Chengdu, and defended the city. Now Chengdu has only a few thousand troops, and I don't know how long

it can hold it
