Thousands of horses gallop, thousands of troops gallop.

The eighteen battalions carefully created by Chen Luoyan did not even resist Chen Jun's footsteps for a moment, and fell into the hands of Chen Jun in the afterglow of the sunset. However, it was obvious that Chen Jun was not satisfied with this small result.

Twenty thousand cavalry attacked, ignoring the Wu soldiers who had no time to escape from the first camp, continued to advance like the wind, and rushed to the second camp quickly.

The distance between the two camps was only a few hundred steps. When the Chen cavalry arrived, the defeated soldiers in the first camp had not yet completely escaped into the second camp. The sound of thunderous hooves rushed over, and under the Chen army camp flag fluttering in the wind, the Chen army cavalry in black armor and black robe fled regardless of the panic and fleeing Wu army, and directly violently attacked the camp gate that had not yet been closed.

After shooting out one after another, the Wu army in front of the camp gate was immediately encountered a death metal storm. Under this storm, everything would be torn and penetrated.

With screams, the vanguard of the Chen army's cavalry, the huge arrow arrow, had already passed through the camp gate and rushed straight into the camp.

The second path, the third path, the fourth path, the fifth path...

One after another, the camps fell into the hands of the Chen army's cavalry. Under the iron hooves of the Chen army, the Wu army could hardly even block the Chen army for a moment. They could only be rushed by the torrent of the iron cavalry, and then they were knocked down one by one by the Chen army infantrymen who followed behind them and surrendered.

The mountain is like fire and tea, and the situation on the mountain is not much better.

On Siping Mountain, the moment the cannons fired at the foot of the mountain, the Wu soldiers kept falling down, and even the generals suddenly fell down.

After the doctors in the army observed, they came to an astonishing conclusion that they were all poisoned.

"Impossible!" Li Baiyao, who is in charge of logistics, said angrily. "Although the drinking water in the army was retrieved from Daqingxi behind the mountain, all the retrieved water has been checked and it is absolutely impossible to be poisonous. In addition to water, the other food consumed by the soldiers is even under special care. There are also regular inspections."

It is not strange that the two armies fight and poison the enemy. But it is precisely because of this. Basically, there are special people in the army to inspect drinking water and food to avoid being secretly poisoned by the enemy and suddenly the army is destroyed. The investigation of poisoning is very strict. If one or two generals are poisoned, it is unstoppable. But as it is now, this has shown that the entire army is poisoned, with more than 100,000 people.

We will directly poison more than 100,000 troops. Not to mention how much poison they need, and how can they avoid the inspection?

"Can it be a plague?" asked a general carefully.

In addition to human poisoning, the most feared thing in marching and fighting is sudden infection with plague and miasma. The army often encounters such things, especially during major wars. When Yang Jian sent an army of 300,000 to conquer Liaodong for the first time, he was basically wiped out because the army was infected with plague.

The doctor who was in the army was an old man with white beards and a very experienced doctor. He shook his head: "Whether it is a plague or miasma, there is a time for attack. Basically, it was just a few minor symptoms at the beginning and could be detected very quickly. Moreover, the plague attack was different from now. He died from the plague and was terrifying. Basically, his body would have symptoms such as ulceration."

"But we are different now. These poisoned soldiers just fainted and had no worries about their lives. According to my husband's speculation, this poison is very strange. The person who is in a state of weakness all over his body may be sleepy for one or two days before he wakes up. However, as long as the treatment is timely, there will be no serious damage, and at least some loss of physical vitality will be lost."

When everyone heard that it was such a poison, they couldn't help but frown. When the two armies were fighting, even if the poison seemed not very dangerous, it was basically very dangerous for the soldiers in the war. And what was even more dangerous was the army. Suddenly, so many people were poisoned, and even the strict defense became full of flaws.

But Chen Jun chose to attack at this time, which already shows that this poison was definitely under Chen Jun.

"What kind of poison is this? Why haven't we discovered it before? And what can I do to solve this poison?"

The old doctor pondered for a while and said, "If I guessed it well, this poison is a mixed poison."

"Mixed poison?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Yes, this poison is very strange. They first put a poison in the water. If this poison exists alone, it is not harmful to people, and it is difficult to detect it by ordinary testing. Once a person drinks this kind of water mixed with this poison, there is nothing wrong with the surface. But if he smells another smoke made of peach leaves and flowers at this time, the two things will immediately produce huge toxins. However, this toxin is also very strange. He will not kill people, but it will make people unconscious for several days. Those who are in the middle will be able to drink it immediately with honeysuckle and honey and several drugs. Otherwise, they can only wake up naturally after three days of unconsciousness. This poison is usually commonly used by chickens and rats. However, he did not expect that Chen Jun actually used this thing to deal with us this time."

"Are there any other detoxification methods besides the honeysuckle prescription you mentioned?" Shen Luoyan asked.

"Not yet." The old doctor shook his head, very helpless.

Shen Luoyan clenched her silver teeth, almost shattering her teeth. She never expected that she would fall into such a trick commonly used by thieves in the martial arts world.

A small mystery, although it seems useless, was used by Chen Keruo at this time, but its power was amazing. The Wu army suddenly became poisoned and fell into a coma, but Chen Jun chose to attack at this time.

All of this further shows that Chen Kefu had already planned everything.

She underestimated Chen Kefu and finally tasted the bitter fruit of despising the enemy.

"Report!"

"Report to Your Highness, the Chen army launched a large-scale attack and had broken through eight consecutive battalions. Our army suddenly became poisoned and coma, and the defense of various battalions was insufficient. At present, it was impossible to stop the Chen army's offensive momentum."

All the people in the hall changed their colors. It took only a few hours to lose eight camps in less than half an hour. Even if we walked from the first camp to the eighth, it would take only half an hour.

Before Shen Luoyan could come to her senses, a burst of rapid footsteps came outside the hall, and Shan Xiongxin ran into the hall covered in blood.

"Your Highness, something is not good. Chen's army has broken through the tenth camp, and General Du Fuwei has also been poisoned and fell into a coma."

"Report that Chen Jun has broken through the eleventh camp!"

"Report that tens of thousands of people in our army have been poisoned and fell down!"

"Report that Chen's army broke through the twelfth camp, General Chen Guoren died in battle!"

......

A series of urgent reports made Shen Luoyan's face sink as water.

Another burst of rapid footsteps came. Li Zitong lost his helmet and rushed into the hall with a big sword.

"Your Highness, brothers can't stand it anymore. People outside were panicked, and there were rumors everywhere that Chen Kefu would do it. He said that he would destroy all our Wu army directly, and now his morale is gone. Deserts have begun to appear in front of me, although I have killed some, it has not made much use. According to Chen's offensive, at most half an hour, he will come to the mountain."

"Your Highness, let's retreat. Chen Kefu was despicable and got hit by his plan. We can't stop it at all. Now some soldiers are still poisoned and fallen down. We have to find a way to leave here first." Chen Dang advised.

The falling geese stood up and looked into the hall.

Her three marshals, Du Fuwei, were poisoned and lying on the ground in a coma. Shan Xiongxin was covered in blood, and Li Zitong even threw away his armor and couldn't even save his helmet. Another general who had been following his father, Chen Guoren, was directly killed in the enemy formation. The rest of the people, such as Chen Dang, Jiang Yanchao, Zhang Ziyi, Sun Shihan, etc., were not much better. At this time, the whole army was panicked. No one was willing to fight.

A severe pain came from his mind. Chen Luoyan couldn't help but frowned, stretched out her jade hand and rubbed her temples hard.

People's hearts are dissipated and morale is gone. If you stay again, there is probably no hope.

"Unit Commander, in your opinion, what should we do?" Looking at Shan Xiongxin, who was still calm among the generals, Chen Luoyan couldn't help asking.

"Your Highness, the green mountains left are there, and we are not afraid of no firewood. We can temporarily retreat to Jiujiang, Jiangxia, and Jianghan. We still have absolute advantages. Although Chen Kefu won for a while, his north was unstable. Before he fought against the Turks, he would not dare to force us to defeat the death." Shan Xiongxin said seriously.

Chen Luoyan finally felt a little unwilling to accept it: "After leaving this, not to mention Jiankang falling into the enemy from now on, I am afraid that the nine counties in Jiangdong will no longer have me. The foundation of my Wu army is already in Jiangdong. If we abandon Jiangdong and retreat to Jianghan, will the soldiers follow me?"

"Your Majesty, as long as we have an army in our hands, what is the gain or loss of a city and a pool? And even if we don't have many soldiers in our hands, after we arrive in Jianghan, we can still unite other heroes and Turks. As long as Chen Ke is defeated by the Turks, his strength will be damaged at that time. Wouldn't it be our chance to take back Jiangdong and even regain Jiangbei Huaisi?"

"Yes, it's meaningless to fight to the death here. Only by preserving strength is the best strategy." Many generals also joined forces. Although they had to leave Jianghan and had to leave their hometown, they would never be willing to surrender to Chen Kefu. Every Jiangdong general was afraid of Chen Kefu. They were clear about how they treated Chen Kefu and the Chen family over the years. To put it bluntly, they were just a group of rebel ministers of the Chen family. Even if Chen Kefu could preferentially treat the surrendered people from other forces, they would never treat them.

"Okay, gather the troops and retreat to Jiujiang immediately." Chen Luoyan finally nodded.

"Your Highness, what should you do if those unconscious soldiers? And you must retreat in a hurry, and someone must stay behind the emperor to block the Chen army." Shan Xiongxin said suddenly.

As soon as this question arises, all the generals who were already talking about it all shut up. At this time, staying in the palace behind will be the victim. Chen's ferocity was defeated, and staying to block more than 300,000 Chen's army at this time would be a laugh.

The Shen Luoyan glanced at the generals and bowed her head without saying anything wherever she swept.

After scanning a full circle, no one was willing to stay. Chen Luoyan was full of disappointment, and even Shan Xiongxin, who proposed to stay in the palace, was full of disappointment. If he wanted to retreat to Jiujiang and Jiangxia, they would not be able to escape without the palace.

When he thought that at this time, there was no general in the Wu army who was willing to sacrifice, he was full of disappointment. The Wu army was so unbearable, and there was no general in the court who was willing to take responsibility. What hope would there be for such an imperial court?

At this time, Li Zitong suddenly said: "Since General Shan proposed this, I am afraid General Shan has a suitable candidate in his heart, or is it that General Shan is willing to stay in the palace behind himself?"

Hearing this, Shan Xiongxin was stunned for a moment, his heart was complicated and speechless for a moment.

"Unit coach, are you willing to stay behind the palace?" Chen Luoyan suddenly asked.

Seeing the expectation in Chen Luoyan's eyes, Shan Xiongxin suddenly felt like she wanted to laugh. He didn't expect that Chen Luoyan would make such a request to him at this time. Is this considered abandoning? Hehe. Even so. Shan Xiongxin suppressed the anger in his heart and suddenly nodded with a smile: "No problem, I am the princess's rear!"

When Chen Luoyan heard Shan Xiongxin's answer, Chen Luoyan suddenly felt a little regretful. However, at this time, in the hall, except for Shan Xiongxin, she was also a little responsible and outstanding in ability, she could not count on the rest of the people. She didn't have time to think about it. Chen Luoyan said: "Okay, it's indeed the Gancheng of the country. Unit Commander, the Regent, is now immediately appointing you as the Grand Marshal, Duke of Liang, and the Grand Governor of the Nine Cities in Jiangdong. Control the military affairs of the nine counties and have full power. Unit Commander, you only need to temporarily block Chen's army for about one day, and you can give up Sipingshan at any time and immediately catch up with the army."

Shan Xiongxin was not very happy with the addition of the seal. He nodded a little uneasy.

"I will wait for the return of the unit coach and wish you a great victory!"

Chen Luoyan didn't take too many people away. In addition to her 30,000 cavalrymen from the Iron Blood Guards, there were also 20,000 people and 50,000 troops, mainly composed of two armies of the Huainan Army and the South Vietnamese Army. Among them, almost 10,000 were unconscious soldiers. Chen Luoyan also brought them all. After all, the doctor said that they would be fine after two days.

The rumbling horse hooves took the Wu army's generals away, and the rest were the victims left behind. Among the remaining soldiers, in addition to the casualties, there were more than 50,000 people, and half of them were left in coma. The truly available soldiers were less than 30,000. There was also a Siping Mountain Camp and a few of the camps at the foot of the mountain that had not been broken.

However, these camps did not last long. When Chen Luoyan and others retreated, it was just when the sky was getting dark. After that, after an estimated two hours, the Chen army's cavalry broke through all the eighteen camps.

The Siping Mountain defense line that Shen Luoyan had troubled to build. The countless deer antlers of the moor valley were thrown layer by layer under the shelling of ten cannons, as well as the fierce attacks of countless crossbowmen, engineer battalions and infantrymen. More than two hours later, the camp gate of the camp on Siping Mountain was broken, and the Chen army completely captured Siping Mountain.

Shan Xiongxin had the intention of dying than surrendering, and at the last moment he planned to commit suicide. But as soon as he picked up his knife, he was shot down by Xu Shiji with an arrow.

Under countless burning torches, Chen Kefu moved to the Wu army wooden city on the top of Siping Mountain. Sitting on the first seat that Shen Luoyan once sat on, Chen Kefu looked at the captured Wu army generals one by one.

A row of captive generals of the Wu army stood in front of him. He didn't know many, but only Shan Xiongxin knew him at first glance.

Before going up the mountain, someone reported that the Shen Luoyan had already run away, and Chen Kefu didn't care.

Looking at the generals tied up by hemp ropes, Chen Kefu smiled and stepped forward, untied the generals himself.

Looking at Shan Xiongxin with a slightly unnatural expression, he said, "Brother Shan, we are meeting again."

"If you want to kill or cut, you will listen to the emperor." Shan Xiongxin didn't know how to answer, so he had to say a tough sentence.

"Uncle Second!" A crisp voice made Shan Xiongxin, who turned his head, come back in confusion. When he turned his head, he happened to see Zhai Wushuang in purple armor.

"Jiaojiao, is it you?"

Zhai Wushuang stepped forward to hold Shan Xiongxin's hand, and tears flowed down her face and said, "Second uncle, I am Jiaojiao."

Shan Xiongxin looked at the daughter of the eldest brother Zhai Rang who had not seen for several years in disbelief, and couldn't help but think of the unruly look when Zhai Wushuang was still in Wagang.

"Brother Shan, I won't mention the past, but now that I'm destined to get together again, let's stay. Look, Jiaojiao can't bear to leave, let alone many old brothers from Wagang, such as Maogong and Junhan? Moreover, Jiaojiao and my child are two years old, and you haven't seen him yet. You, the uncle, must not give me gifts."

Xu Shiji also hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Yes, Brother Shan, no matter what happened before, we are reunited now. Your Majesty is kind and generous. Second Brother, don't let Your Majesty down on the holy favor of heaven."

Shan Xiongxin always felt a little ashamed when facing Chen Kefu. When Chen Kefu called each other several times, he didn't go. Now that he was defeated and captured, the emperor treated him so well, he didn't know what happened.

"Don't hesitate, Brother Shan, now that the world has not been settled and the whole world has not been ruled. I still need the help of such a brave general like my second brother. My second brother refuses to belong to me. Do you think I am not qualified as an emperor?" Chen Kefu said half-smiling and half-angry.

"No, no." Shan Xiongxin shook his head quickly, "It's just that I used to be ignorant, and I went to Nanchen to fight against His Majesty. The crime was serious and I was uneasy."

"I just said the past, what was gone."

After hearing Chen Kefu say this, Shan Xiongxin hesitated for a long time and said, "Your Majesty values ​​the last general so much, and the last general is flattered. The last general has no way to repay the favor of the emperor. He is willing to lead a troops to pursue the Shen Luoyan. He will definitely be captured by Wu Guoyu in one fell swoop to repay the favor of His Majesty's appreciation."

When Chen Kefu heard Shan Xiongxin say this, he was really happy. He was willing to say this, and he was sincerely surrendered. He laughed and said, "It's enough to have this heart. Brother Shan is also tired, so it's better to go down and rest first. As for my cousin, I have already made arrangements." (To be continued...)
