Chapter 731 Lamb to be slaughtered

(Thanks to Feng Zhiqingyuan for his monthly ticket support, thank you.)

Li Mi's king flag flag has disappeared on the battlefield. The king flag has disappeared, the king of Wei fled, and they have been abandoned.

Feeling the Wei soldiers abandoned by Li Mi, they roared desperately and angryly. The biggest motivation for supporting them to fight until this time was their loyalty to Li Mi. They did not feel sorry for Li Mi. They fought to the last moment, but Li Mi betrayed them at the last moment. They abandoned them on the battlefield and fled alone.

They no longer had the fighting spirit. Looking at the coalition soldiers surrounding them, a Wei soldier threw down his weapons in a daze, squatted down and hugged his head and cried bitterly, ignoring the bloody sword that was about to fall on his head. As if it was contagious, the "dang" and "dang" sounded continuously, and the weapons of the Wei soldiers fell into dust one by one. They gave up resistance and looked at the winners cheering into the sky, and the wounds on their bodies were constantly bleeding.

Some troops became prisoners of war, but some troops were escaping desperately. The defeated soldiers shouted, discarded their weapons and armor, and stepped on their companions' bodies to retreat. The Wei army had lost their rationality, with the main roads, paths, hills, fields, valleys, woods, and there were fleeing soldiers from the Wei army everywhere. The last baggage team of the Wei army was thrown on the side of the road, and the baggage soldiers unloaded their cars and rode horses to escape. Countless carriages with tents and other supplies blocked the road and blocked the defeated soldiers' way, leaving only a very narrow passage. In order to get a chance to escape, the Wei army soldiers did not hesitate to use their knives to cut off their companions in front and blocked their bodies through.

Behind the defeated army, the cavalry of the coalition forces were chasing them. The cavalry chased them like flying, killing, chopping, and cutting them. They would kill them when they saw the Wei soldiers. Whether it was Li Mi's direct army or the old subordinates of other rebel leaders, most of them were lying on the open plain of the Black Rock Beach soaked with snow and blood.

The Hebei army did not kill prisoners, but the Jianghuai Army and the Dongdu Army were not so polite. The Jianghuai Army was filled with the blood of the brothers of the Jianghuai Army because of this battle that lasted more than half a month, so it was very hatred for the Wei army. As long as it was captured, the defeated soldiers of the Wei army, regardless of whether they were prisoners or not, they would cut off their heads and hung them on the horse without saying a word. The Dongdu Army was the same, and they cut off their heads one by one and hung them on the horse. These heads were all their military achievements, and each head was a white silver coin.

It was not until midnight that Zhang Zhongjian, who was responsible for staying in Luokou Cang City, was the highest general on the battlefield of Heishi Beach. When he received the following statistics on the prisoners, he realized that the few prisoners he had caught were astonishingly few.

Li Mi's Wei army originally had 150,000 people, and the powerful people they captured, there were 300,000. Although six days of continuous melee, there were only 10,000 or 20,000 casualties. Apart from the people who were left on the battlefield as inner walls by Li Mi, Li Mi's Wei army had at least 120,000 to 130,000. If the casualties of the Wei army on the battlefield today were eliminated, Li Mi's Wei army would still have at least 100,000.

But the number of prisoners reported now is less than 10,000.

According to the information obtained by Zhang Zhongjian, although Li Mi brought a lot of troops to escape, there were only 30,000 to 40,000 people around him. If some defeated soldiers scattered in the wilderness were eliminated, he roughly estimated that the coalition forces were at least about 30,000 prisoners. He immediately ordered the troops to prohibit the killing of prisoners.

By dawn, the post-war statistics finally came out.

In this battle, all the remaining soldiers and horses of Wei State participated in the war. In addition, the 150,000 people and the people were in charge. Among them, 28,000 Wei soldiers were killed and more than 13,000 were captured alive. The Jianghuai Army and the Dongdu Army killed about 30,000 prisoners, and the collapsed Wei army was about 30,000, while the Wei army still fled with Li Mi was about 50,000.

King Li Mi of Wei fled, Wang Bodang, Wang Dangren, Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji, Xie Yingdeng, Xu Yuanlang, Meng Haigong, Li Junxian, Liu Heita and many other confidant civil and military generals of Li Mi were also fled. After the war, the battlefield was investigated, Yang Defang, left Sima of the Wei army, Zheng Yi, right Chief Shi Zheng Qianxiang, Li Yang general manager Li Wenxiang, Huanshui general manager Zhang Sheng, Huanyang prefect Zhao Ta, and general Hu Ben Hao Xiaode were killed in battle.

After this battle, although Li Mi still retained an army of about 50,000, the Wei State was actually completely defeated. This battle not only defeated Li Mi's last little capital, but also completely defeated the morale of the Wei army. From then on, Li Mi had no place to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. Next, facing the pursuit of the Hebei Army, Jiangdu Army, and Jianghuai Army, it is difficult for Li Mi to leave a life.

On the wilderness of the Black Stone Beach Plain, the battlefield was filled with terrible seas of corpses and blood. The bodies were piled up like mountains, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. On the battlefield where blood was flowing, the Hebei army stood quietly, with a steel-like formation, silent, and only the evening breeze was heard blowing the flag.

On the other side of them was the temporary camp of the Jianghuai Army. In front of the camp gate, all the generals of the Jianghuai Army stood there, looking at the army with awe.

At dawn, all the troops pursuing the Wei army returned to the battlefield one after another.

Unexpectedly, the Hebei Army did not return to Cangcheng, Luokou, but returned to the battlefield, one left and one right next to the Jianghuai Army.

The generals of the Jianghuai Army whispered: "What should I do? Who will go up and negotiate with them?" Everyone pushed each other and dragged them down. If the Hebei Army suddenly turned against each other and killed themselves, it would be too unfair to die.

In fact, there are not a few people who think this way. Basically all the generals of the Jianghuai Army have such concerns. Even Wang Xuanying, who rarely smiled a little yesterday, looked extremely ugly again when he saw this army next to them today.

Chen Pojun had the idea of ​​swallowing the Jianghuai Army, which was something that everyone knew. Originally, in the battle yesterday, the Dongdu Army took action when the Jianghuai Army was destroyed, and Wang Xuan thought that Chen Pojun had the intention to let him go. But now, the Dongdu Army and the Hebei Army were holding them one left and one right, and the meaning of destroying him was too obvious.

What made him even more helpless was that although he knew he had been put on the chopping board, he still had no choice. In the battle yesterday, although the coalition forces finally won. However, the casualties of the Jianghuai Army were also huge. Before the Hebei Army and the Dongdu Army attacked, they alone endured the fierce attack of the Wei Army for a long time.

The 60,000 Jianghuai Army who went to fight, eliminated the casualties and killed, and the remaining ones were only more than 30,000. Only a few wounded soldiers and soldiers were tied up by more than 100,000 people in the Dongdu Army and the Hebei Army. The sadness in your heart is conceivable.

It was like a sharp sword hanging on its head, it was always on its head, but it never knew when the sword would fall and penetrate into its skull. The more it was hanging without being released, the more it would make the Jianghuai Army panic.

At dusk, the strange April snow finally stopped. The coalition forces finally cleaned the huge slaughterhouse. From time to time, horses neighed from the plains, and went out to search for the defeated soldiers and returned to the camp. A large group of disarmed Wei soldiers were being guarded by the Eastern Du Army.

"Marson, what should we do with these prisoners?" A Hebei captain entered the tent and asked Zhang Zhongjian for instructions.

Zhang Zhongjian was silent. There were too many prisoners, and not only were the Wei army prisoners, but also the group of people with a population of more than 100,000 and more than 100,000 people. This is a huge number. If they were to be imprisoned, the guards alone would have to be a huge number, not to mention the food these prisoners would have to consume.

But it is not a big deal to let them go like this, especially many Wei army officers. Once these people are released, they will either go to Li Mi or cause trouble for the sake of the situation.

After thinking for a long time, Zhang Zhongjian said, "You send someone to identify the people who were forcibly captured by Li Mi. If they are good people, let them go home. If they are homeless, they will be sent to Shandong, where people are in need. If they are born in bandits and other people and commit serious crimes, they will be sent to Weizhou to reclaim wasteland and stockpile the land."

"What should those Wei soldiers do? Are there tens of thousands of people?"

Zhang Zhongjian stroked his beard and thought for a while, "Simply review these people. All officers above the team will be sent to Liaodong for exile and exiled to the land. As for other soldiers, as long as those with bad character are not too bad, they will select the strong and brave ones, and a battalion will be organized for reorganization and teaching. When those who pass the reorganization and training, they will be assigned to various Hebei Army troops to supplement the troops. As for others, those with bad character will be sent to the Ryukyu Island to hoard the land, and all the remaining ordinary soldiers will be sent to Hebei."

"Will this cause be too troublesome? It will take a lot of time." The captain said in confusion.

Zhang Zhongjian smiled and shook his head, "No, these soldiers are complex, including soldiers, farmers, thieves and bandits. They have been fighting in the Central Plains for many years, and it is already difficult for them to discipline them. If they rashly put these people back to the local area, with the current situation in Henan, it will probably not take long for them to return to their old business. They either join other forces to serve as soldiers and eat food or go up the mountain to become bandits. These people are the source of turmoil. Now that we have entered the Central Plains, this Central Plains is our world, and we can no longer let these people mess up. Now, we have to take them to Liaodong, Weizhou, Liuqiu and other places. On the one hand, we can also give them a stable job, and on the other hand, we have also cleared the place, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?"

"The general's vision!" The captain slapped his head and flattered Zhang Zhongjian.

After laughing for a while, he said in confusion again, "Master, these Wei soldiers are easy to solve, but what should we do with the Jianghuai army? Now we have surrounded them. Duan Da and Huangfu Wuyi of the Dongdu Army have already made it clear to the humble official position. As long as the commander is given, they are willing to serve the hard work and personally destroy the Jianghuai army, and guarantee that no one will be left."

Zhang Zhongjian closed the fur cloak on his body, carried it through the camp, looked at the Jianghuai military camp in the distance, and pondered for a while before saying, "No, your highness must be the master of those things. I have sent someone to send a letter to your highness. How to deal with it is your highness. You and I don't have to worry about it, just look at them, go."
