After killing Military Kill, Ouyang Shuo looked around to check the situation on the battlefield.
Both sides fell into a stalemate. There was me in you, and you in me. At this time, Ouyang Shuo noticed that a small group of troops was about to break through the encirclement and escape towards the south.
He didn't need to think to know that it was the Wolf Warriors.
Ouyang Shuo didn't hesitate at all. He turned his horse around and chased after them. On the way, he met up with Lin Yi's vanguard battalion and chased after the enemy.
At this time, the advantage of the Cyan Beetle Horses was displayed. Ouyang Shuo and his troops caught up to the enemy less than five kilometers away from the battlefield.
After a rough count, the other party had less than a platoon. Clearly, they were the elites of the elites. The warhorses were also very fast. It was a pity that they met the Cyan Beetle Horses. Otherwise, they might have escaped successfully.
Ouyang Shuo realized that this platoon should be Xiong Ba's men. He still remembered that Xiong Ba used 1200 gold to buy a heavy cavalry talisman in the last auction. It should be this platoon in front of him.
"Xiong Ba bro, how have you been!" Ouyang Shuo shouted.
In the platoon, there was one person who clearly paused. He probably didn't think that they would be caught so quickly. This person, naturally, was Xiong Ba. However, Xiong Ba didn't give up and ordered his troops to retreat.
Ouyang Shuo smiled coldly and made a hand signal to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi understood and immediately split the vanguard battalion into two groups. They would circle around from the side and surround the enemy.
Being surrounded like a dumpling, Xiong Ba could only order his troops to stop. He turned his horse around to face Ouyang Shuo and said with a bitter smile, "Brother Wuyi, do you really want to kill us all?" Beside Xiong Ba stood his best friend, Wandering Linghuan.
Ouyang Shuo naturally had a heart of stone. He smiled, "Xiong Ba bro, we can only blame ourselves for choosing the opposite side. I hope you can think carefully about which side you choose next time. Don't choose the wrong side again. "
Xiong Ba's eyes focused. He felt that there was a hidden meaning in Wuyi's words. Could it be that he already knew about their conspiracy? Did he really have that much power?!
Xiong Ba was bewildered in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface and said with a smile, "Brother Wuyi, it's useless even if you kill me. Di Chen was still in Meng Jin. With him around, the mutant army of the Zhou Dynasty would not crumble. Why don't you do me a favor and help me out? It's not easy to level up. "
This old fox was playing the favor card again.
Ouyang Shuo suddenly understood. No wonder he didn't see Di Chen. As the saying goes, the person who understands you the most is often your enemy. Di Chen had suffered a few defeats in his hands, and he had almost grasped Ouyang Shuo's pulse. How interesting!
"You don't have to worry about me. I have my own ways to deal with Di Chen." Ouyang Shuo remained unmoved. "How about it? Let me send you off." Then, he waved his hand.
The personal guards and vanguard battalion received the order and charged forward without hesitation.
Xiong Ba was startled. He was truly surprised. This person was an ambitious and ruthless person, able to rise and fall at the same time. He laughed and said, "Good, Brother Wuyi, it seems like we are kindred spirits. Today, I accept my defeat wholeheartedly."
After finishing off the Xiong Ba Division, Ouyang Shuo led his troops back to the battlefield.
At this time, the battle was already over. On the plains, the horses that had lost their masters neighed helplessly. The wounded who had not died yet lay on the ground, wailing in pain. The blood that flowed from their bodies stained the ground beneath them. Broken spears were stuck in the ground alone, telling of the endless desolation.
When Zhang Liao and Qin Qiong saw Ouyang Shuo, they rushed over. "Lord, the enemy has been completely annihilated."
Ouyang Shuo nodded. "Did any of the lords slip through the net?"
"Other than those who were caught by Lord, the rest were all killed." Zhang Liao did not disappoint him.
"What about the slaves?" Ouyang Shuo continued to ask.
"I have already sent troops to capture them. Those who escaped have all been captured." Ouyang Shuo had already instructed Zhang Liao not to kill the slaves indiscriminately. Zhang Liao carried out his orders very thoroughly.
"Bring me to them." Ouyang Shuo still had some thoughts about the slaves.
"Yes!"
Although it had only been less than half an hour, tens of thousands of slaves had died. On the outskirts of Muye, the newly dug trenches were soaked in blood.
Ouyang Shuo rode to the front of the slaves and said loudly, "Now, I, the representative of the mutants, am speaking to you. You have all seen that the Shang Dynasty has sent troops to protect you. Your country and your tribes have completely abandoned you. You are already standing on the edge of a cliff with no way out. "
"Lord, please save us!" Someone began to cry for help.
"Save us ~ ~" Even more slaves echoed.
Ouyang Shuo raised his hand and signaled for silence. He continued, "If you want to live, it is actually very simple. Continue to work and dig the trenches. If necessary, pick up your weapons and go to the battlefield to serve the Shang Dynasty."
Because the five hundred Imperial Guards arranged by King Xin had been completely annihilated, Ouyang Shuo decided to leave the cavalry in Muye City to protect the slaves and ensure that the fortifications could be completed on time.
Ouyang Shuo brought his personal guards back to Chaoge City to report the details to King Xin.
…
The news of the mutant army being completely annihilated in Meng Jin had already spread throughout the headquarters.
Zhou Wuwang was naturally unhappy. The people who were even more unhappy were the feudal lords. It was only now that they found out that Lord Chunshen and the others had secretly gone to harvest contribution points behind their backs.
Although they were ambushed and forced to withdraw from the battle, their contribution points on the battle contribution board were all more than ten thousand. This was very eye-catching.
As the representative of the mutants, Lord Chunshen's behavior was too unsightly. Thus, their deaths did not receive any sympathy. There was only schadenfreude and disdain.
Di Chen, the only one who escaped death, stood up at this time and tried to replace Lord Chunshen and reorganize the feudal lords' troops. Unfortunately, the feudal lords did not listen to him.
The feudal lords thought, "Di Chen, you did not go, but your troops did. You will also have a share in the contribution points. Right now, there are only five hundred infantrymen left in Handan County. Who gives you the right to command us? "
Di Chen was also helpless. He could only do his best and leave it to fate.
Fortunately, there were some feudal lords who understood the big picture. They knew that at this time, they had to be even more united. Otherwise, it was very likely that the Shang Dynasty's players would turn the tables.
This group of players naturally would not accept Di Chen's leadership. Instead, they formed their own alliance.
In the royal tent, Zhou Wuwang was flustered and exasperated. "Prime Minister, what should we do now? Should we send another army to destroy the enemy's trenches? "
Jiang Shangdao was still as calm as usual. "Your Majesty, there is no need to be so anxious. This is just a small defeat. We only lost a small portion of the mutant army. It will not affect the overall situation." After Zhou Wuwang calmed down, he continued, "As for sending another army to harass them, I'm afraid that will not work. The enemy must have been prepared. The only thing we can do now is to wait for all the feudal lords to arrive. Then, we will immediately send troops to Muye and fight to the death. "
Jiang Shang's plan was to defeat the Shang Dynasty's army head-on with a dignified army. This was because, according to the intelligence from Weizi, there were less than twenty thousand regular soldiers in Chaoge City. The difference in strength was too great. If Jiang Shang knew that there were a hundred thousand crossbowmen in Chaoge City undergoing emergency training, who knew what he would think.
After calming down, Ji Fa said, "Prime Minister, should we send someone to contact Weizi and find out what has happened in Chaoge City? Who exactly is helping them?"
Jiang Shang naturally had no objections.
… …
Compared to the scattered Zhou Dynasty's camp, the Shang Dynasty's camp was much more united. Ouyang Shuo had used his actions to prove that he had the ability to lead everyone to victory.
Lord Chunshen's act of monopolizing everything showed Ouyang Shuo's selflessness. The two thousand stubborn nobles finally compromised and agreed to be reorganized by the Alliance of Mountains and Seas. At this point, the Alliance of Mountains and Seas had complete control over the Shang Dynasty's camp.
Ouyang Shuo used this opportunity to increase his influence among the feudal lords and establish a good reputation. This was very important. As long as Ouyang Shuo could persevere, then in the future battles, he wouldn't need to waste his breath to convince the feudal lords one by one. They would automatically unite around the Alliance of Mountains and Seas and accept their reorganization.
After listening to Ouyang Shuo's report, King Xin felt sorry for the Imperial Guard Army that had died in battle. At the same time, he was happy that Ouyang Shuo had won a beautiful battle. He trusted Ouyang Shuo even more.
Not only that, this victory was like sending charcoal in a snowstorm.
When the news of the victory spread to Chaoge City, it quickly calmed the people's fear and unease. Only then did the people in the city know that there was a powerful mutant army helping them to resist the Zhou Dynasty's invasion.
The tense situation in Chaoge City was alleviated. The first to benefit was the logistics. The common people were generous and took the initiative to donate the food in their homes to serve as the army's rations.
Under the command of the court officials, they transported batches of food from Chaoge City to Muye City.
After the food was sufficient, King Xin, under Ouyang Shuo's suggestion, improved the food of the slaves outside Muye City to ensure that they could barely eat their fill. This undoubtedly confirmed Ouyang Shuo's previous promise to them. The slaves worked even harder.
At the same time, a hundred thousand crossbows were assembled and distributed to the slaves. General E Lai was in the military camp, stepping up the training of the slaves to ensure that they had a sense of propriety and would not fall into chaos.
E Lai divided the hundred thousand crossbowmen into ten ten-thousand-man phalanxes. Each ten-thousand-man phalanx was then divided into ten thousand-man phalanx. Under Ouyang Shuo's suggestion, Mu Guiying led five thousand crossbowmen into the phalanx. Each thousand-man phalanx had fifty crossbowmen assigned to be the instructors and commanders of the phalanx.
By mixing the mutant army with the camp army, Ouyang Shuo could be considered a first. If not for King Xin's trust and support, it would have been impossible. (To be continued.)
