Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

When the two sides were fighting, Chen Zhe and Liu Beichen arrived in time with their troops.

Soon, everyone saw that a surging black wave appeared in the west, rushing towards this side.

Seeing this, the morale of the Zhaowu army was greatly boosted.

Chen Lu was ecstatic in his heart, they finally came, almost Lao Tzu was dying

, and shouted excitedly: "The Zhaowu army will win!" The soldiers around him were the same as him, excitedly waving the long knives in their hands, shouting: "The Zhaowu army will win!"

The voice became louder and louder, resounding through the sky.

Sun Lun, Dou Bin and the others sank in their hearts, and they already had a premonition of what would happen next.

The 50,000 Zhaowu army, with the momentum of thunder, quickly penetrated the entire battlefield. In a very short period of time, several waves of Qi troops were crushed.

Liu Beichen and Chen Zhe took the lead in rushing and killing, and wherever there were more Qi troops, they would kill whichever side they wanted, and the casualties of the Qi army increased suddenly.

In the face of such a fierce offensive, the Qi army could not parry, and small groups of routs had begun to appear.

The Zhaowu army became more and more courageous the more they fought, and they slashed and killed wantonly.

Seeing that the situation of the Qi army was getting worse and worse, Yang Hanwen's face was like ashes. I can't wait to slap myself twice, regretting that I shouldn't have left the position and sent troops to fight a decisive battle with the Zhaowu army.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was not completely defeated, Yang Hanwen ignored it, took his own soldiers with him, hurriedly left the battlefield, and fled all the way to the east.

Soon, Sun Lun was shocked and angry when he found that Yang Hanwen had fled!

What made him even more angry was that Dou Bin saw that the situation was difficult to reverse, so he also led people to run away.

On the battlefield, the already difficult Qi army, because they left without permission, led more and more Qi soldiers to flee. The Zhaowu army followed closely and pursued all the way.

Zhang Yanxia's eyes were blood-red, and he rushed forward like crazy.

Han Zhiyuan led people to surround Zhang Yanxia, and without any intention of persuading him to surrender, he shot him with a bow and crossbow.

Sun Lun was unwilling to surrender, nor did he want to die here, so he was stopped by Song Jun and his troops while running. Seeing that he really couldn't escape, he was forced to kneel and beg to surrender.

On the battlefield, the Qi army completely collapsed, and the soldiers looked panicked and fled for their lives.

Shen Ning saw that the overall situation had been decided, and finally put his mind at ease. Sitting on the ground, a feeling of exhaustion swept through his body.

This battle lasted for eight months, and it was the largest number of troops invested and the longest battle time since the establishment of the Zhaowu Army.

Therefore, the battle is too important, it is related to the great cause of the Zhaowu army, and Shen Ning cannot afford to lose.

In front of others, he looked light-hearted, but in fact, the burden on his body had already weighed him down. I couldn't help but be grateful to Li Zhao in my heart, and from beginning to end, Li Zhao never urged him.

He didn't want to fight this battle today, if Chen Zhe and the others didn't arrive in time, the Zhaowu army would definitely be defeated. But the situation in the army was really bad, and he was forced to take risks.

Fortunately, the Zhaowu army won.

After Shen Ning rested for a while, he arranged for people to continue to chase the deserters, clean up the battlefield, and send people to Chengdu to win.

In the evening, all the generals gathered their troops and returned to the camp, all full of joy.

The defeat of the 150,000 army of Qi in World War I was really hearty.

Shen Ning was in the tent, and from time to time he could hear happy laughter outside.

After the generals walked into the big tent, they saw that Shen Ning was as calm as ever, and they were even more admired, and their attitude was much more respectful.

"At present, according to a rough estimate, more than 40,000 Qi soldiers have been captured, and many Qi troops are still on the run, and people have been sent to chase them. Chen Zhe said.

"Hmm", Shen Ning nodded slightly.

The losses of the Zhaowu army this time were also not small, and with the expansion of the territory, there was also an urgent need to recruit a large number of soldiers. After these soldiers have been trained, most of them will be incorporated into the Zhaowu Army.

"It's a pity that Yang Hanwen escaped. Chen Zhe said regretfully.

"It's okay, you guys go back and get some rest. Shen Ning's expression was straight, "Continue to move east tomorrow." "

The last general obeys!" the generals said in unison.

On the river, Heng Zhuo was shocked when he learned of the disastrous defeat of the Qi army. The waterway near Yiling was narrow, and it was very easy to be attacked by crossbows or stone-throwing carts on the shore, so he hurriedly led the warship to the east.

After a brief rest, the Zhaowu army quickly broke through Yiling.

Then the land and water go hand in hand, and the long drive goes straight in.

Due to the large number of troops being transferred to Yiling, many cities were empty of troops. Songzi, Zhijiang and other cities were successively broken by the Zhaowu army, and thus entered the Jianghan Plain.

On June 10, with the cooperation of the naval army, the Zhaowu army captured Jiangling.

On June 15, Shishoucheng surrendered on its own initiative.

On June 23, after a fierce battle, Han Zhiyuan and Chen Lu captured Yueyang, and their troops pointed directly at Wuchang, an important town of Qi State.

In the south, Chen Zhe, Song Jun and others led their troops to capture Jinshi, Linli and other cities.

70,000 Zhaowu troops soon killed under the city of Wuling (Changde, Hunan).

Tang Hongyao, the general of Wuling, refused to surrender, and the Zhaowu army used a large number of well-mounted chariots and ladders to besiege it day and night. Ten days later, the city finally broke through, and Tang Hongyao killed himself.

Due to the desperate resistance of the Qi army, the Zhaowu army lost nearly 10,000 troops this time.

And the battle of Wuling also temporarily ended the Zhaowu Army's Eastern Crusade.

Considering that the soldiers had been fighting for days, they were tired and tired, and they missed their families, so they were no longer able to fight. And the Qi army rebuilt the defense line in Changsha, Nanchang, Wuchang and other places.

Shen Ning took the initiative to stop the attacks everywhere, ordered the whole army to stop and rest, and recruited soldiers locally.

................................................................................................................

Chengdu, after learning of the victory of the Zhaowu army, the city was boiling.

During the confrontation between the two armies, Shu was short of supplies, and priority was given to the soldiers at the front, which affected the lives of the people a lot.

Now that Yiling has finally been taken, the Shu people breathe a long sigh of relief.

In order to appease the Shu people, Li Zhao directly exempted Shu from paying taxes for the next two years.

As for the issue of money and food, Li Zhao was not worried about this at all. The Zhaowu army had captured so many cities, how could there still be a shortage of food?

Just as he thought, the powerful people in various places generously donated money and sent large quantities of money and grain.

The past eight months have not been an ordinary hardship for Li Zhao.

Officials from various places frequently suggested that he withdraw his troops as soon as possible and fight again next year, but Li Zhao always had a strong attitude and did not make any compromises.

But again, there is a lot of risk.

Once Yiling is defeated, there will inevitably be turmoil in Shu, and he can only live in Shu for a long time.

The joy after the great victory is difficult to describe using the word 'excitement'.

After spending a month in Chengdu, Li Zhao couldn't sit still. set off for Wuling, intending to talk to Shen Ning face-to-face about the future war.

With the Qi army's successive defeats in the west, Qutang Pass was no longer the front line. When Li Zhao passed by here, he took Shi Ai with him.

The Battle of Yiling was not enough to destroy the Qi State, and a major war would break out in the future. Shi Ai has rested for so long, and it is time to move.
