A great battle finally came to an end, and the battle ended with the complete defeat of the Yellow Shirt Army.

Half of the 10,000 soldiers trapped in Longyuan Mountain were killed and half surrendered. As for Qin Xiaotian's 30,000 soldiers, they were defeated on a large scale, with countless casualties and countless others fleeing.

Twenty thousand foot soldiers plus ten thousand cavalry were enough to completely defeat these peasant armies.

It wasn't until the morning of the next day that Qin Xiaocai fled back to his camp with thousands of remaining soldiers.

A large group of soldiers with shocked faces and scarred bodies rushed into the camp, undoubtedly causing an uproar in the army.

Some soldiers who didn't know what was going on looked at each other, and their morale was a little confused.

Ever since the Yellow Shirt Army formed an army, they have always been invincible, and have been either dead or surrendered wherever they go. They have never encountered such a major defeat.

When Qin Xiaotian, who was limping with his left arm wrapped in gauze, walked into the handsome tent, Chen Tiansheng and Ling Gong were really shocked.

"Third brother, are you okay?" Chen Tiansheng hurriedly helped Qin Xiaotian sit down.

Qin Xiaotian leaned on the chair tremblingly, grinning in pain when he occasionally touched the wound on his shoulder.

Fortunately, it was just some superficial injuries, otherwise he would have died.

Although Qin Xiaotian was the most timid of the three when he first started the army, after such a long life-and-death struggle, his relationship with Chen Tiansheng has become like a blood brother.

Externally, Chen Tiansheng is the king, and Wu Zhiyong and Qin Xiaotian are ministers. Privately, the three of them are like brothers.

"Brother, I am ashamed of my trust in you." Qin Xiaotian choked and said:

"The garrison of Nanjiang Road rushed to the battlefield, and we encountered their blockade halfway. Many brothers died, many...

We really can't go to Longyuan Mountain. If my brothers hadn't fought to the death to escort him, my brother wouldn't have been able to come back."

At the end of the story, Qin Xiaotian covered his face and cried. This man who had been galloping on the battlefield for a year or two shed tears for the first time.

Although he had seen many deaths and deaths in the past year, and blood-stained battlefields, this was the first time he had encountered tens of thousands of soldiers dying like this.

He would never forget the scene where the peasant soldiers were stabbed through the chests with spears, and the scene when his men were cut down like wheat during the breakout.

The battlefield was filled with rivers of blood and was a mess. The troops stationed in the Southern Border Road attacked with a ferocity that was completely incomparable to those weak soldiers from the Central Plains.

Southern Xinjiang Army?

Upon hearing this name, Chen Tiansheng and Ling Gong both had a look of surprise on their faces.

But Chen Tiansheng still spoke to comfort him first:

"It's okay. Just come back alive. Don't think too much. Don't worry about the battlefield. The sky won't fall."

"General Qin, take care of yourself first. We will remember the brothers who died in the battle today, and we will definitely avenge them when the time comes!" Ling Gong also said with firm eyes.

"Uuuu~ big brother!"

Qin Xiaotian couldn't help crying: "Tens of thousands of people, tens of thousands of people! Several of my brothers who have been with me since I started the army are gone."

The tip of Chen Tiansheng's nose felt sour, and he patted his shoulder lightly and said: "Okay, don't cry, go down and rest first, leave the other things to my elder brother!"

Qin Xiaotian, who was crying continuously, was finally helped down by his guards, but the somewhat pitiful crying was really frightening.

"Alas~"

Chen Tiansheng sighed, rubbed his brows and said, "We made a mistake. Why did a Southern Xinjiang Army appear out of nowhere?"

"It was my dereliction of duty." A trace of guilt flashed across Ling Gong's face.

He actually guessed that the army might ambush the reinforcements, but his eyes were on Surabaya City from beginning to end, and he never paid attention to the so-called Southern Xinjiang Army.

From the Nanjiang Road to here, we are separated by several territories, and we have to pass through the territory controlled by the Yellow Shirt Army. How did these military horses get here?

Ling Gong couldn't understand.

"What is the origin of this Southern Xinjiang Army and is it so powerful?" Chen Tiansheng asked with a frown.

To be able to defeat Qin Xiaotian's 30,000 men like this is definitely not a mediocre attack.

Moreover, Chen Tiansheng was born as a farmer after all, so he was completely confused as to whether there was any party struggle in this military or other way.

Ling Gong opened his mouth and explained:

"Shangguan Tailei, the Jiedu envoy of Nanjiang Road, is the younger brother of Shangguan Taiqing, the current commander-in-chief of the army, and he is also the uncle of the current dynasty.

A few years ago, Nanjiang Road showed great power. Soon after it formed an army, it defeated the invading South Vietnam, killing tens of thousands of enemies, and became famous.

It is said that the person who actually commanded the military in that battle was the Fifth Xinrou opposite us, and the uncle-in-law was just a commander in name."

"If you put it this way, wouldn't the Southern Xinjiang Army be the old foundation of Wu Xinrou and know the basics?" Chen Tiansheng was a little unhappy.

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy means you will be victorious in every battle. A unit like this will definitely be easier to use.

"You can say that."

Ling Gong nodded and sighed: "It's a bit tricky. Now it seems that this fifth heart soft is definitely not mediocre!"

After this great defeat, Ling Gong had already put away his contempt, and even he and Chen Tiansheng no longer thought about Liu Sandao's 10,000 troops.

Do you still need to ask? You will definitely die!

"Mr. Ling, what's next for us?" Chen Tiansheng asked in a dull tone.

"I suggest calling General Wu to retreat first. The army retreats thirty miles to camp, consolidate the defense, and pay attention to the movements of the officers and troops before making plans."

Ling Gong said calmly: "Our strength has developed too fast recently, and we need to slow down."

"Okay, just do what you want, sir!" Chen Tiansheng nodded heavily.

…

"The last general, Ruan Zhixiong, the envoy of the Southern Border Road Protector, comes to see you, sir!"

At the gate of Surabaya City, Ruan Zhixiong dismounted with a thousand fine cavalry, and solemnly knelt down on one knee to salute.

The solemn expression and sincerity of his demeanor surprised many generals from Jiangbei.

You must know that Ruan Zhixiong is the Protector of the Duchy, a second-rank official, while Wu Xinrou is just a minister of the Ministry of War, a third-rank official.

Do you need to be so groveling?

"General Ruan, please get up!"

Wu Xinrou laughed and helped Ruan Zhixiong up: "The general led his army from afar and won in one battle. It is gratifying and congratulatory."

"Hehe~ It's all adults' good plan." Ruan Zhixiong grinned.

In fact, planning for this battle began a month ago. The 30,000 troops dispatched by the Southern Xinjiang Army bypassed the rebel territory and traveled hundreds of miles before arriving at the battlefield.

Otherwise, wouldn’t this encirclement and annihilation plan be in vain?

When the generals saw the two laughing and chatting, they immediately paid more attention to Wu Xinrou. The uncle of the country has delegated power, and the guardians are respectful. If you still treat him as a junior official of the third grade, then it will be true.

He's an idiot.

Returning with Ruan Zhixiong was another army that ambushed Liu Sandao. Among them was Dugu Nan, who beheaded the enemy and shocked the army.

Tens of thousands of troops gathered outside Sishui City in a majestic and powerful manner.

Fifth Xinrou looked at the rows of generals and laughed loudly:

"Thank you for your hard work, generals! I have already arranged a celebration banquet for everyone, please!"
