Chapter 943
If you want merit...then you have to fight, and you must show your military talent.Now is the right time, Da Zhou withdraws his troops and can pursue them.As long as a large number of enemy troops are killed, and some of them are captured to go back to claim credit, there may be a chance to do so. Of course, this chance is very slim, but it can also hit Liu Renshan, which shows that his method is not very effective.

"Liu Taiwei, from what my subordinates have seen, what Liu Taiwei said has always been correct. Our army should have taken advantage of the victory to pursue it. Now that the enemy is retreating and facing Shouzhou's long-term attack, the soldiers must be depressed. Isn't this a good time to attack? Liu Taiwei was originally the defender of Shouzhou. He knew that Shouzhou was unbreakable, and he also knew how heavy the enemy's pressure was when facing Shouzhou, so he always advocated pursuit. How can Liu Renshan know how to fight, that bastard who didn’t plant anything? He only borrowed the strength of the Shouzhou city wall and thought it was his own merit, but in fact he didn’t do anything.”

Liu Yanzhen nodded immediately, because Xian Shilang still understood her.That's what I meant originally, and I kept talking about chasing after him, but Liu Renshan's slow temper was too annoying, so I forgot about it in the end.

The same goes for Huangfu Jixun. As the marshal of the world's military, he did not dare to violate the wishes of a small guard.He, the generalissimo, also has no temper.

Xian Shilang said: "Liu Taiwei, let's attack first, and after we have won the credit, we will take the prisoners back to Jinling and directly read them a copy, saying that these two people have neglected their duties and directly making them speechless. As long as the prisoners And the record, what else do they have to say? At that time, you can make up whatever you want, and these two people are dead."

"That's reasonable, but it's better to say this kind of thing in a low voice. I just saw that these two people were not aggressive and delayed the opportunity to fight, so I was forced to fight. Originally, I wanted to borrow troops from these two people to pursue them, but these two people were timid. Rushu didn't dare to face the Zhou army head-on, so our army also suffered heavy losses. Fortunately, the commander was able to minimize the losses. If the two borrowed troops, they would not have suffered such a big loss. "

"That is to say, Liu Renshan and Huangfu Jixun should have been severely punished."

Liu Yanzhen waved his hand and said, "We can talk about Liu Renshan to death, but Huangfu Jixun can't. This person has high martial arts skills and a very high status. It is more valuable to please him than to offend him."

Xian Shilang said: "Taiwei, to be honest, we have already delayed a lot of time. If we want to pursue, we must add more, otherwise Zhou Jun has already retreated to the pontoon bridge, and it will be useless for us to pursue again."

"Yes, yes, go and send an order, rectify military discipline, and immediately set out to pursue Zhou Jun, as many as you can kill."

"Yes."

Xian Shilang immediately sent an order to go down and immediately set out to pursue Zhou Jun.The pursuit is different from the retreat, and they can start with a little rectification, because they don't need to bring anything needed for the march, they can go out as long as they take their weapons.Grain backup will naturally follow.

Zhou Jun retreated slowly in front, and Liu Yanzhen chased hard behind, but the difference was still very big.When the Zhou army withdrew, the backup troops withdrew first, and then ordinary soldiers.But Liu Yanzhen was chased by the soldiers first, and the backup troops followed.Although the distance is not too far, the speed difference between the two sides is actually not that big, and it is not easy to catch up.

Liu Renshan was still watching from the crenel, seeing Liu Yanzhen's troops chasing after Zhou Jun's retreat after leaving the city, suddenly Liu Renshan felt that something was wrong.

"Oh~~~~~ How can they go after them? This is too bad. If they encounter an ambush, they will definitely be wiped out. As the saying goes, don't chase after the poor, doesn't Liu Yanzhen know? What's more, if The defeated army will pursue it if it pursues, and if it does not pursue it, it will not pursue it. However, the Zhou army did not flee in defeat, but was unable to attack for a long time, and was afraid of being blocked by others, so they just retreated first. In this case, they must stay behind. Why should Liu Yanzhen go after her?"

Liu Renshan was so angry that his face was delicate and ruddy.Although this matter was very urgent, there was no fluctuation in his heart, because Liu Renshan thought about it carefully, even if he tried to persuade him to chase him, it was useless.The most important thing now is to stick to the city to prevent the Zhou army from counterattacking.

However, Liu Yanzhen may kill a few Zhou troops this time, but it is useless.Or maybe he suffered heavy losses in the ambush, and someone would naturally punish him at that time.

If it was Huangfu Jixun who persuaded him, perhaps Liu Yanzhen would listen, but persuasion is not of much use.I don't know what is going on in this person's head, how can he chase him under such circumstances?It's not easy to keep Shouzhou safely, does he still want to fight back to Xuzhou?

Of course, it is not certain that Liu Yanzhen may have made some achievements in this trip.If he can destroy the pontoon bridge wisely, even if their entire army is wiped out, it will still make a great contribution.It's just that Liu Yanzhen may not be so smart. Although she doesn't hate this person, she can't say she likes him.

Liu Yanzhen's death was a trivial matter, and it was really not worth it to bring so many Southern Tang soldiers to their deaths.Do you want someone to persuade you a few words?In fact, there is no need for this. Huangfu Jixun should have already gone. If he can't persuade him, it's useless to go by himself.

However, there is a way to recover the loss, which is to send troops directly to fight, instead of fighting Zhou Jun to fight Liu Yanzhen, and force him to return to Shouzhou to complete the handover.But there are also troubles in doing so. If Zhou Jun sees the two sides fighting, they will kill a carbine at that time, not to mention their own lives, but Shouzhou and Nantang Jiangshan.

"Forget it~ let him go, I'd better enjoy the scenery here. The scenery of Shouzhou is endless, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, thousands of miles of rivers and rivers..." Liu Yanzhen said: "Someone is here."

"Subordinates are here."

"Notify General Huangfu that you don't need to go after him, and go to Luzhou to borrow troops and food. Liu Yanzhen is looking for a dead end, and we have no choice. General Huangfu can't kill him directly, so we can't return to the court. So let's go to Luzhou first. Borrow a little..."

"My lord, let's stop talking, I'll go directly, don't waste time."

Liu Renshan nodded, and the people around him immediately went to inform Huangfu Jixun.

Liu Yanzhen chased all the way, and there was no wounded or sick soldier left behind. This can only prove that when the Zhou army retreated, the wounded and dead soldiers were evacuated first.Although there is no head to take for the time being, this makes Liu Yanzhen very excited, because Zhou Jun really withdrew, and he planned a lot of evacuations.

If you feel that the situation is not right and suddenly withdraw your troops, then the slow-moving soldiers will definitely be left on the road to be overtaken.But this situation is very dangerous, because the morale of the soldiers has not been completely frustrated. If they encounter pursuit, they may resist at any time.

But if it was a planned evacuation, then the mentality of all soldiers has been relaxed. They know that they will not be able to fight this time, so they will retreat.Such retreating soldiers were hardly prepared to fight another battle, so they caught up and killed them by surprise.

Liu Yanzhen's thinking was indeed correct, such a evacuation was really done, and it was impossible to think that the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty would dare to go out of Shouzhou to pursue them.Because Shouzhou is very critical, it is impossible for the guards to give up Shouzhou's strong city walls and face the Zhou army head-on, so the soldiers of Dazhou must not have thought that Liu Yanzhen had such a skill.

Of course, when withdrawing troops, it is impossible for the team to leave in a very orderly state. It must be a long queue. Regardless of whether there is a back-up when evacuating, if you encounter such a long-standing team, you will be able to kill him in the past.

The more Liu Yanzhen chased, the happier she was. After chasing for a long time, he finally caught up with the Da Zhou army. At this time, Zhou Jun was crossing the river on a pontoon bridge... This was a great opportunity, and they were caught off guard.

"Kill~~~"

Liu Yanzhen was the first to charge into the chaotic Zhou army, and the two sides fought together.Zhou Jun also got the news in advance that someone was chasing him, so when crossing the river, the outermost soldiers kept a defensive posture.But such a defense is useless against a charging cavalry unit, it is almost a crushing blow.

Facing the onslaught of Liu Yanzhen's cavalry troops, the Zhou army had no power to fight back, and was captured and beheaded nearly [-] soldiers.Liu Yanzhen tasted such a pleasant victory for the first time, and she was in a good mood.But unfortunately, Liu Yanzhen did not dare to cross the river to pursue, because he led [-] cavalry to take the first step, and the speed of the infantry could not catch up at all, and the infantry had not kept up with the large army until dark.

The first battle was successful, and Liu Yanzhen won a complete victory.At this time, Zhou Jun was building defenses on the other side of the river. Liu Yanzhen knew that they didn't dare to come over from the floating bridge to face him head-on. If they came this way, they would die as many as they came.But I didn't dare to rush over, the situation was the same as Zhou Jun, as many people died as they went.

Liu Yanzhen said depressedly: "Xian Shilang, I suddenly discovered that the effect of building a defense here is far better than that of Shouzhou. Look at the terrain here, they dare not come over, of course we dare not go there, if we build a defense here , Zhou Jun still dare to violate my border?"

"My lord, what if the river floods?"

"Just take a few steps back. Are we still afraid of the river water?"

Xian Shilang said: "What if the enemy uses a boat to cross at night?"

"As many as you come, you will die~ You don't need cavalry, you can shoot them all to death in the river with bows and arrows." Liu Yanzhen has not figured it out yet, and still thinks that it is very good to build defenses by the river.

Xian Shilang said: "My lord, it's like this. The defense of the river is only limited to the situation where the enemy can be seen. If the enemy crosses the river from the upstream or downstream, and then gathers the army to surround our army, then it will be a last stand. .”

"Okay ~ Last Stand is very good, but you are the source of the allusion to Last Stand? Han Xin won a big victory because of Last Stand."

Xian Shilang said embarrassingly: "My lord, that's Han Xin. If it's not necessary, I don't want to fight with my back. It's best to win the war safely."

"Oh~~ That's right." Liu Yanzhen said: "I'm hungry...how come the troops behind are running so slowly? They eat a lot of dinner every day, so they are not as useful as me when they are fighting."
