The Sichuan army was intimidated by Zhenren's momentum, and the originally fierce counterattack gradually weakened. This gave Zhenren a chance to break through head-on.
At first, the Zhenren only tore a small opening in the Sichuan Army's defense line. But as more and more Zhenren attacked the wall, the Sichuan Army's defense line began to fall into chaos.
At the end of the battle, the Zhenren who rushed up the wall of the camp rushed into the camp and opened the gate of the camp, so that the Zhenren outside could rush in directly. Seeing that the gate of the Sichuan camp was breached by their own side, Li Shu, who was watching the battle, couldn't help but
He breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he could conclude that his side had won this battle. In close combat, Li Shu was not afraid even if the Sichuan army was more numerous than his side. What's more, they still had the advantage in strength.
The battle was just as he had judged. After the defense line was broken through by the Zhen people, the Sichuan army was completely defeated. The next battle became no suspense. It was completely a unilateral massacre of the Sichuan army by the Zhen people.
The battle lasted from early morning to late at night, and then from late night to early morning of the next day. It lasted for a full day and night. It was not until daybreak the next day that the battle basically came to an end.
In this battle, the 50,000-strong Sichuan army was almost wiped out, with only a few people escaping. Li Shu's troops, who had won a great victory, actually suffered a tragic victory. They suffered more casualties than the Sichuan army, reaching eight
About 10,000, if only the casualties were compared, Li Shu's First Division would have been defeated.
For those Sichuan soldiers who were captured alive by Zhenren during the battle, Li Shu was not polite at all and ordered them all to be killed.
To him, the living prisoners were meaningless, but rather a burden. If he killed them, he could take their heads to Feng State in exchange for a large amount of supplies and food.
The 50,000 Sichuan Army allowed Li Shu to obtain 50,000 heads. Although the price he paid was a bit heavy, he finally gained something. After this battle, Li Shu's troops took advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack several strongholds and fortresses of the Sichuan Army.
In the end, the number of Sichuan Army heads collected reached 60,000. When the date agreed by Tang Yin came, Li Shu personally went out to transport the 60,000 Sichuan Army heads quietly across the border and sneaked into Huan Di.
After arriving at the camp of the Hundred War Army, Nie Ze, who heard the news, welcomed him out of the camp and met Li Shu outside the camp gate.
Li Shu is young, less than thirty years old. He is tall, broad-shouldered and round-waisted. He has a handsome appearance and extraordinary aura. He seems to be somewhat acquainted with Li Hong.
After the meeting, Li Shu stepped forward first, bowed his hands and saluted, and said: "Li Shu, I have admired the name of General Nie for a long time. I used to live with my father in Wan County and had no chance to meet General Nie. Today I met General Nie. As expected,
Extraordinary power."
At that time, most of the princes from various countries, as long as they were not princes, would be sent to other places after being granted titles. Li Shu said that he had never seen Nie Ze before, and there was nothing strange about him.
Seeing that Li Shu was so polite, Nie Ze also treated him with courtesy. He said with a smile: "General Li, you're welcome, please come to the camp!"
"General Nie please!"
During the greetings, the two walked into the military camp. After entering the Chinese military tent, the guests and hosts took their seats. Li Shu first thanked Nie Ze and said: "Thanks to General Nie's great help this time, Mr. Xun was able to visit Feng Kingdom.
If I can successfully meet His Highness the Feng King, if the alliance with the Feng Kingdom is successful in the future, I will be very grateful to General Nie."
His words were a pun. Firstly, he wanted to please Nie Ze, and secondly, he wanted to see Nie Ze's attitude toward his side. If possible, winning Nie Ze over to his side would be too detrimental to his side.
It's beneficial.
Nie Ze was only in his forties, but he was already a veteran in the army and very shrewd. How could he not understand Li Shu's intentions?
He smiled slightly and said: "General Li, there is no need to thank me. Forming an alliance with you is also profitable for Feng Country, and it doesn't matter who helped whom. Therefore, General Li does not need to be grateful to me at all.
"
Hearing what he said, Li Shuzuo knew for sure that Nie Ze had no intention of betraying Feng Guo. He cleverly stopped trying any more and changed the subject. He said seriously: "General Nie, I am here to attend the appointment with His Highness Feng Wang.
, arrived as scheduled, but I don’t know if your army has prepared everything agreed upon?"
Nie Ze looked up and smiled and said: "General Li, don't worry, the armaments and food reserves in our army are enough for your needs."
"Oh?" Li Shu reminded with a smile: "General Nie, you must know that the loot I brought this time is quite a lot!"
"How much is a lot?" Nie Ze asked with a smile.
"Sixty thousand!" Li Shu said with an emphasis.
Sixty thousand? Nie Ze was shocked. In just one month, Li Shu's troops actually killed 60,000 Sichuan troops?
Seeing the look of surprise in his eyes unconsciously, Li Shu also became nervous and asked: "Are the armaments and food pay prepared by your army not enough?"
What he is most concerned about now is military equipment and food. The reason why he paid such a high price this time is to get as much assistance from Feng Country as possible. If Feng Country cannot fulfill its promise, all the losses suffered by his side will be in vain.
Nie Ze quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "General Li, don't be careful. Since it is a promise made by the king, our country will definitely honor it."
According to Tang Yin's promise, the Sichuan army of 60,000 is equivalent to 60,000 sets of armaments, 60,000 taels of silver and 60,000 shi of grain and grass. This is nothing to Feng State, just a drop in the bucket.
He stood up and said to Li Shu: "Since General Li has brought all the loot, I wonder if you can take me to have a look!"
"Of course!" Li Shu also hurriedly stood up and walked out of the Chinese military tent with Nie Ze.
At this time, Zhenren's carriages were parked outside the Chinese army's tent. Looking around, one could see that there were hundreds of carriages as far as the eye could see. Each carriage was piled with several boxes and tied tightly.
Nie Ze winked at the guard beside him. One of the guards quickly walked over, jumped on a carriage, pulled out his saber, broke the box on it, then opened a box and looked inside. Nie Ze's guard
They are both veterans of the army who kill without batting an eye, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as having a heart of stone. But when he saw clearly what was inside the box, the guard's face suddenly changed, his brows knitted together, and he suppressed the nausea reaction.
, picked up a severed head with his saber, and then looked back at Nie Ze.
Because they had been left there for too long, the heads were somewhat rotten, and the face was bloody and bloody. It was not clear what they looked like. However, Li Shu was very 'considerate' and even ordered a Sichuan Army military insignia to be hung on each severed head.
The brand, with a name, surname and origin, shows that it is not adulterated.
Li Shu said from the side: "General Nie, these are 60,000 Sichuan Army heads in total, just a few more, and each one has the Sichuan Army's military badge hanging on it. I am definitely not using the sword to make up for the numbers. Please give General Nie a warning!"
Nie Ze was not interested in the beheadings of these Sichuan troops. After listening to Li Shu's explanation, he nodded slightly, unwilling to look at it a second time, and turned around and walked back to the Chinese army's tent. Li Shu immediately followed in and whispered.
Asked: "General Nie, our supplies and food wages..."
Before he could finish his words, Nie Ze said to his deputy, Chen Xiu: "General Chen, please request 60,000 sets of armor and weapons from our arsenal, as well as 60,000 taels of silver and 60,000 shi of grain."
Chen Xiu cupped his hands and said, "Yes! General!" After saying this, he strode out.
Seeing that Nie Ze did not make a mistake and actually asked people to collect armaments and food and salary, Li Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With these 60,000 sets of armaments, he can arm a 60,000-strong tiger and wolf army and have 60,000 in food and salary.
, he was able to recruit a large number of soldiers again.
However, he was not satisfied with this. These armaments and food payments were only enough to meet the immediate needs. What he valued was Feng Guo's next assistance.
He bowed to Nie Ze and said: "This time, we have annihilated as many as 60,000 Sichuan troops in one month. In the eyes of His Highness, King Feng, he must be qualified to form an alliance with the Feng Kingdom!"
"I am not the king. As for what the king is thinking, it is difficult for me to guess." Nie Ze said, "However, General Li can discuss with the king in person."
Li Shu was secretly surprised, rolled his eyes, and said, "General Nie, do you mean to go down to Beijing?"
"What? Don't you dare, General Li?"
"No, no, no! Since I dare to come here to meet General Nie, I naturally have the courage to go to Shangjing in person. However, I don't know if this is His Highness Feng Wang's intention or General Nie's intention?"
Nie Ze looked up and smiled and said: "What I mean is what the king means. General Li, since you plan to form an alliance with our Feng Kingdom, I think there are many things that you need to discuss clearly with the king face to face."
"
Li Shu nodded repeatedly and said seriously: "What General Nie said is absolutely true. I wonder, when should we set off?"
"Without further delay, of course, the sooner the better." Nie Ze narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Shu, his eyes a little wandering. Now his mood was also very complicated. From the bottom of his heart, he hoped that Li Shu could successfully restore the country and rebuild the country.
The Zhen Kingdom, but Li Shu's strength was indeed unable to compete with the Sichuan Kingdom, so he could only ask the Feng Kingdom for help, but Nie Ze knew Tang Yin's character too well, and forming an alliance with Tang Yin was undoubtedly a conspiracy against the tiger.
Moreover, it was impossible for Tang Yin to tolerate the re-establishment of the Zheng Kingdom.
Therefore, in Nie Ze's view, no matter whether Li Shu could successfully form an alliance with Feng Kingdom or not, he would probably die in the end. Of course, he could not say these words to Li Shu, he could only hold them in his heart and sigh secretly.
To make a long story short, Li Shu listened to Nie Ze's suggestion and went to Shangjing in person to meet Tang Yin. However, when he arrived in Shangjing, he didn't even enter the inn where Tang Yin was staying. The latter only met him in the military camp outside the city.
It's not that Tang Yin despised him, but that he didn't want to make the alliance between Feng Guo and Li Shu public so quickly. The military camp where Tang Yin met Li Shu was the camp of the Pingyuan Army. After Li Shu came in, his eyesight was almost exhausted.
One glance to the right, looking at it endlessly.
If possible, he would really like to visit all the camps of the Pingyuan Army. There is much for him to learn in terms of the entire camp's layout, layout, ordering, and even the use of the terrain.
