Emperor Sun made his fortune from scratch

Seeing that the defeat was decided, in order to preserve more living forces, Huang Jinyun was forced to announce his retreat.

Li Zhao found out that the Wei army was about to flee and knew that the battle had been won a great victory. The excitement was uncontrollable, and he picked up the soldier next to him and threw it twice, and the soldier looked confused.

"I won, Lao Tzu won, haha..........." Li Zhao laughed wildly, his face full of joy.

The victory in this battle meant that the Zhaowu army became the strongest force in Hanzhong. It won't be long before the entire Hanzhong can be occupied.

"Great marshal, although the Wei army is defeated. There are still a lot of soldiers and horses, and they can't be allowed to escape, otherwise they will flee to Liucheng, and they will be somewhat troublesome to defend the city. Shi Ai reminded.

Li Zhaoguang was happy, but now that he reacted, he hurriedly said, "You're right, you can't let them run away." The order was sent down to hunt down the Wei army. Give me a kill to the end, and we'll kill as far as they run. Even if you chase to the ends of the earth, you have to keep chasing. Huang

Jinyun originally hoped that the Wei army could be orderly and slowly withdraw from the battlefield, but the reality was not as expected.

The Wei soldiers, who were already struggling to support, had no intention of fighting after hearing the order to retreat, and fled one after another. But it is not an easy task to get out of the battlefield smoothly.

The officers and men of the Zhaowu Army saw that the overall situation had been decided, and their morale was even stronger.

Cover all the way behind the Wei army. Wherever the Wei soldiers fled, they pursued them.

Huang Jinyun's worst fears still happened, the Wei soldiers did not listen to the military order, fled for their lives, and the retreat quickly turned into a rout. Although his heart was extremely painful, there were only more than a thousand people left around him, and he could no longer effectively command all the Wei troops.

The Wei soldiers looked panicked and fled all the way north, while the Zhaowu army was in hot pursuit behind them, killing like crazy.

On the way to the north of the battlefield, corpses were strewn all over the field, and the blood on the ground stained the earth red.

Some Wei soldiers were tired of running, or felt that they couldn't escape, so they laid down their weapons and chose to surrender. There were some wise people who fled into the woods before dawn. The Zhaowu army could only search for the Wei army all over the mountains.

There were also Wei army soldiers, who were provoked by the Zhaowu army and launched a counterattack. However, due to the lack of numbers and the lack of cooperation between them, they were finally killed.

Shi Ai and Song Jun, regardless of their exhaustion, led three thousand Zhaowu troops to follow closely behind Huang Jinyun.

Under the protection of part of the Wei army, Huang Jinyun fled to Liucheng. On the way, I saw the corpses of a large number of Wei soldiers, and I wanted to cry without tears. He has fought for half his life, and he has experienced defeats, but he has never been so badly defeated as he is today.

Because the Zhaowu army chased too fiercely behind, Huang Jinyun had thousands of Wei troops around him, and it didn't take long for only more than 800 people left. The commander was in a hurry, and said, "General, you go first, and we will stay and stop the enemy."

"There are only more than 100 people, how can you stop it?"

"The general can rest assured, his subordinates are dead, and they must block the enemy army and buy time for the general." The soldiers under his command looked resolute.

Huang Jinyun felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, these hundreds of people might not be able to survive

, "The general is still hesitating, hurry up!"

Huang Jinyun had no choice but to go to Liucheng with dozens of personal soldiers.

Shi Ai and Song Jun quickly caught up and saw that the Wei army was blocking the way. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately swung his knife and killed.

I thought that the battle would end in a short time, but I didn't expect this Wei army to be extremely difficult. Even with heavy casualties, they still fought to the death, and they could not break through the interception of the Wei army for a while.

The two of them spent a lot of effort, basically killing all the Wei troops here, and only a few dozen people escaped.

"Huang Jinyun ran away, do you want to chase down?" Song Jun said.

Shi Ai looked resolute, "Keep chasing, Changxian and Guangyan are small cities that are easy to conquer, but Liucheng is not easy to fight." Even if Huang Jinyun really escaped into Liucheng, he would besiege Liucheng to the death. There was not much food in the city, and the Wei army could not last long. You go back and tell the marshal, I will lead my troops to Liucheng now.

"Okay.

Song Jun gave all his soldiers and horses to Shi Ai, and then returned the same way.

Li Zhao soon learned about this, and was worried that Shi Ai's troops were insufficient, so he sent him another thousand troops, and also sent a large number of stone-throwing carts and bed crossbows.

The sky is slowly turning white, and the sun is about to rise.

The officers and men of the Zhaowu Army, who had previously pursued the Wei army, returned more and more. The soldier could not hide his fatigue, but he still had a smile on his face.

Li Zhao was as happy as they were, and the feeling after the big victory was too good.

According to preliminary estimates, the Zhaowu army suffered about 17,000 casualties, and the Wei army suffered nearly 30,000 casualties. More than 8,000 Wei soldiers were captured, and many Wei soldiers hid in the woods, and this number will continue to increase.

"Congratulations to the marshal, defeating the two armies of Qi and Wei in one fell swoop. After this war, our Zhaowu army will become a strong army in the world. Fan Shuo lowered his head and said, looking respectful.

Li Zhao waved his hand modestly, "The world is so big, Hanzhong occupies less than one-tenth of the land. Even the Shu land in the south is several times that of Hanzhong. We must not be arrogant, and we need to redouble our efforts.

Deng Xin cooperated: "The reason why this battle can be won depends on the wisdom and strength of the marshal. Being able to follow Dashuai is a blessing in my life.

"That's an exaggeration, don't say that. The battle can be won, and it depends on the soldiers who fought bravely to kill the enemy. Li Zhaoqiang pretended to be calm.

At this moment, I saw Shen Ning coming over.

Li Zhao smiled and said, "My General Shen is here, and I have worked hard for you in the past few days."

Shen Ning saluted and said: "Xie Dashuai, but the last general can't afford to be called a general." "

Even if it's not a general, it's a general. Li Zhao's words came from the bottom of his heart.

Just now, Yang Zhi talked to him in detail about the experience of the past few days, although he didn't say it explicitly, there was a faint meaning of admiration for Shen Ning in his words. In all fairness, if it is Li Zhao who goes around to the back of Tianze Mountain, he may not necessarily do better than Shen Ning. In this war, Shen Ning contributed the most.

The general knew that Liu Sihong led more than 10,000 Qi troops to flee to Nanzheng. Shen Ning said.

"I know about this, and I have asked Qi Jingyun to take 10,000 Zhaowu troops to Nanzheng to deal with the Qi army with Wang Yankai.

Li Zhao was not worried about Liucheng, and Huang Jinyun put most of the grain and grass in the Tianze Mountain camp. When the emperor retreated in a hurry, most of the grain and grass did not have time to burn and fell into the hands of the Zhaowu army. There was a shortage of food in Liucheng, with only more than 2,000 Wei troops. Shi Aifeiyong was enough to completely drive the Wei army out of Hanzhong. As for whether Huang Jinyun can be caught, this is not necessarily.

The two cities of Guangyan and Changxian, the Wei army did not attach much importance to these two places. There were very few Wei troops in the city, and Li Zhao had already sent people to capture the two cities.

Next is Lu County, too shou Yang Mingsheng is good at guarding the city. Before Yang Xin sent 10,000 people to attack the city, although Yang Li, who led the troops, had no ability. But to hold on for so long, Lu County is still not lost, and Yang Mingsheng is definitely not to be underestimated.

Yang Zhi took the initiative to ask for an attack on Lu County, and Li Zhao agreed. Give him 2,000 soldiers and order him to conquer Lu County within ten days.

The only thing Li Zhao is worried about is Nan Zheng. Wang Yankai has thousands of people, and it is difficult to keep it for a long time. In case Qi Jingyun arrived, Nan Zheng had already lost. With the sturdiness and height of the city walls, it is indeed not easy to fight.

Shen Ning said: "The last general suggested that the marshal should not return to Black Tiger Ridge. Ying led all the remaining soldiers and immediately went to Nanzheng.

When Li Zhao heard this, he immediately reacted. After this battle, there is no need to return to Black Tiger Ridge.

There are some follow-up matters for the captives to be dealt with by Deng Xin, Shen Ning and others.

Li Zhao led the Zhaowu army here and marched to the capital Nanzheng.
