"General, the battle at Huanghua Valley did not cause much damage. Even though the Shu army abandoned their helmets and armor, they were defeated and fled! It would be great if every battle was so easy!" On the way to Tangcang Town, beside him One of the followers followed and sang praises to Shi Shouxin: "The general's ability to lead troops into battle is worthy of being called a famous general in the world, and few can match him!"
"This small victory is not enough!" Shi Shouxin was riding on the horse, with a slight smile, and summed up last night's battle very calmly: "This battle was won because, first, our army's information was accurate and the commander-in-chief made powerful decisions. Secondly, the soldiers of the various camps did not care about fatigue, risking their lives and bravely killing the enemy; thirdly, it was the Shu army that was unprepared and gave us the opportunity to win a great victory!"
At dawn, leaving behind a battalion of soldiers and wounded soldiers, and arranging the garrison of Huanghua Valley and the guarding of prisoners, Shi Shouxin took the remaining men and set off, aiming for Tangcang Town.
Under the guidance of the guides and scouts, many flags and armor discarded by the Shu army when they fled were seen along the way, and more than 300 scattered soldiers were also accommodated. These Shu soldiers were completely incapable of facing the large forces of the Han army. Some resisted, and some even took the initiative to run out and give them some dry food to alleviate their hunger, and then behaved more submissively.
I also got a lot of trivial but useful information from the Shu army.
"The attack on the Shu army was a total defeat. I just don't know how Han Chongyun is progressing!" Shi Shouxin sat high on his horse and looked southwest: "Send the order, and the scouts will increase the scope of investigation and investigate in the direction of Tangcang!"
It wasn't until I got close to Tangcang Town that I received news from Han Chongyun's liaison military academy.
"General, General Han asked me to come and report!" With a simple smile on his face, the liaison officer commander reported to Shi Shouxin: "Last night, General Han led his army to raid Tangcang Town, successfully captured the Shu village and killed the Shu general. Wang Luan killed more than 300 enemies and captured more than 1,500 prisoners. Before noon, Shu general Han Jixun led the defeated army and retreated to Tangcang. General Han attacked and the entire Shu army surrendered after surrendering!"
"Good!" Shi Shouxin described the exhibition and said loudly: "Han Chongyun is a brave general and he has lived up to his trust!"
"General, in this way, we have successfully defeated the enemies of Tangcang!" After listening to Bu Qu, he was much more excited than Shi Shouxin.
"Let's go, speed up, go to Tangcang!"
"The general commanded well and defeated the Shu army with a small number of enemies. Han admires him!" In Tangcang Town, Han Chongyun welcomed Shi Shouxin into the hall and complimented him with a smile on his face.
"The general is brave and good at fighting. He takes the lead and breaks the army and seizes the stronghold. He is extraordinary!" Shi Shouxin said to Han Chongyun with a smile.
The two of them couldn't help but laugh a few times after talking nonsense about business, and their laughter revealed the joy of the winner.
"Come here, serve food and drinks!" Han Chongyun turned to the soldiers and told Shi Shouxin: "Han Jixun, the commander-in-chief of the Shu army who attacked Huanghua Valley, surrendered. Do you want to meet him?"
"Although this man has been defeated in a row, he still shows his ability as a general when facing the enemy! Last night, the Shu army was defeated like a mountain collapse, but he was able to gather nearly a thousand defeated soldiers and return to Tangcang. He has some tricks!" Shi Shouxin! said.
Han Chongyun was a little disapproving: "I didn't see what he could do. When the other army came back, I thought there would be a fight, but I didn't expect it to surrender so quickly!"
Shi Shouxin just smiled at Han Chongyun's words.
Weiji, Han Jixun, who was in a sorry state and with a haggard face, was escorted into the hall by two soldiers. He looked at Han Chongyun and then noticed Shi Shouxin who was eating. He couldn't help but ask: "You set up an ambush in Huanghua Valley to defeat our army.
The commander-in-chief of the Han army?"
"Not bad!" Shi Shouxin looked at him: "I am commanding all the envoys from the inner hall to the left wing of the Han Dynasty, Shi Shouxin!"
Looking at Shi Shouxin, with his bright eyes and energetic expression, Han Jixun couldn't help but sigh: "There are so many talented generals in the Han Dynasty! The general's magnanimity is extraordinary, and I was not unjustly defeated!"
He also looked at Han Jixun, who was considered a veteran general in Shu. After thinking about it, he divided half of his food and wine and asked the soldiers to hand it to him: "Please use it!"
Shi Shouxin's attitude was much better than that of Han Chongyun. There was no contempt or insult. Looking at the fragrant wine and meat, this was a courtesy to him. Even if he lowered the price, Han Jixun was not reserved. He bowed his hands and said: "Thank you, general."
!”
He was obviously starving. After wolfing down a few mouthfuls of food and drinks, Han Jixun looked at Shi Shouxin again: "I have a lot of doubts about this battle! The defeated general, dare I ask the general, why was my entire army wiped out?"
"Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. Our army can anticipate the enemy and deploy in advance!" Shi Shouxin said calmly.
Han Jixun was thoughtful, his eyes suddenly clear.
After taking a sip of wine, Shi Shouxin said to Han Jixun: "In the previous battles, everyone had his own master. Now that the general has surrendered to the Han, he is temporarily living in the camp and waiting for arrangements. If the Han wants to pacify Shu, sooner or later he will need talents like the general.
....."

After some words of comfort, Han Jixun was asked to leave with food and given preferential treatment.
"Brother Shi, you are too polite to Han Jixun, but he is just a defeated general!" Han Chongyun said to Shi Shouxin.
"After all, he is a veteran. Now that he has surrendered, there is no need to humiliate him. Let's keep some dignity!" Shi Shouxin picked up the handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and said: "After eating and drinking, we have to consider the next move.
!”
Listening to his words and looking at his appearance, Han Chongyun was slightly refreshed: "What do you want, general?"
"Baijian!" Shi Shouxin said directly without giving in, "After the defeat of Huanghua Valley and the loss of Tangcang again, the Shu army stationed in Baijian is in a difficult situation. When the news is spread, its military morale will be lost. I propose to rest for half a day.
Let's join forces and go north to cut off their return. I predict that this battle won't be too difficult, and I will take the credit together!"
"Okay!" Han Chongyun patted the table.
"I wonder what's going on with the Chinese Army?"
"I have sent someone to inform Xiang Shuai overnight about the results of the battle in Huanghua Valley. He can put aside his worries and attack Mighty City with all his strength! I'm afraid, the battle has already begun!" Shi Shouxin said.
...
As Shi Shouxin said, under the mighty walled city, after close and orderly coordination, the Han army had already launched an attack. Inside and outside the city gate, the situation was in a state of excitement, a real excitement.
"ignition!"
"emission!"
As the Han army officers waved their flags and shouted orders, they lined up outside the pass. Hundreds of steps away, a large number of lit kerosene bombs flew towards the mighty city. They turned into flaming snakes, igniting the walled city and the woods.
, with the help of the wind, it grew and expanded rapidly, and became a huge fire dragon, gradually swallowing everything...
The flames are boiling, the fire is soaring into the sky, and the sounds of explosions, shattering, and miserable howls are intertwined together.
The fire was raging, spreading towards the walled city and the mountains and forests. Thick black smoke kept rising from the surroundings, like ferocious black dragons, soaring into the sky.
The Shu army in the mighty city was already heartbroken. The wood in the outer city was easily ignited and spread at an extremely fast speed. A large number of Shu soldiers were swallowed up by the fire, screaming and wailing as they retreated to the inner city. Chaos.
, crowded, boiling.
From the time when the Han army set up their formation, the generals of the Shu army noticed that Gao Yanchou was the quickest to react. However, such man-made and natural disasters cannot be reacted to, and they almost watched helplessly as the Han army
The fire attack was successful and gradually engulfed the city gates.
The calls to "put out the fire" kept ringing out, but with little effect, and the Shu soldiers were unable to escape.
On the tower of the inner city, Li Tinggui stared helplessly at the situation in front of the city gate. The walled city was burning, crackling, and constantly collapsing and crashing. Those Shu soldiers who could not escape were smashed to death and burned to death. The screams were heart-stopping.
.
"The soldiers are all in chaos when we call for envoys, and the fire can't be stopped at all!" Gao Yanchou ran up to the city wall with sweating profusely and said to Li Tinggui: "It's time to make a decision. There are too many trees inside and outside the city wall, and they can't be burned at all."
If it is not finished, it will only get bigger and bigger! Once it spreads around and the outlet is blocked, we will all be burned to death without the Han army attacking!"
Sweat was dripping from Li Tinggui's head, his face was red from the heat, and his eyes were about to burst. He could feel a little burning even when he touched the earth and stone city wall with his hands. He took a deep breath, couldn't help but choke a few mouthfuls, and coughed directly.
With tears streaming down his face, Li Tinggui's tone was filled with sadness: "Send the order for all soldiers to withdraw from Mighty City and retreat to Liangquan!"
