Chapter 844 You are finally here
The corpses left behind from the battles during the day and midnight yesterday had not yet been cleaned up, otherwise they would have been scattered all over the open space that was one mile wide and more than ten miles long.
Usually, the corpses on the battlefield are cleaned up by cremation or burial.
Building a mausoleum is a very intimidating and insulting method. The heads of the enemies are cut off and piled up into a pyramid. Not only are their bodies dismembered and separated, but they cannot return to their roots and can only be left to rot.
But this time, Zhao Biao was really angry.
The damn enemy is so shameless!
We only have 50,000 people and we can't defeat you. You can either just sit there quietly and we won't pay any attention to you, and wait for our main force to arrive. Then you can surrender and still have a chance to survive.
Either you come down and fight, pull down the main force, and have a fair decisive battle, 50,000 against 200,000, whoever is a coward is a grandson, and we can still respect you for being magnanimous and brave.
However, he used such despicable methods to harass and take the lives of his own soldiers just to disgust the Yan army. Such people do not deserve sympathy or respect at all.
Thinking of the previous door blocking operation, Zhao Biao became even more angry.
This feeling is like two people fighting, and the other party doesn't fight you properly, but tickles you from time to time, throws feces on you, and smashes your windows. If they can't kill you, they just want to disgust you and use all kinds of despicable means to disgust you.
It's the typical behavior of a rogue or gangster.
For this kind of person, you just have to treat him equally disgustingly.
Zhao Biao led 30,000 soldiers and rushed out, directly surrounding the Qian army.
According to the rules of the Yan army, after encircling the enemy, they must first persuade them to surrender.
Zhao Biao symbolically shouted three times that he surrendered and would not be killed, but the Qian army still shot arrows at the Yan army.
Seeing this, Zhao Biao lost his patience and ordered a charge to annihilate the enemy.
The battle took only two quarters of an hour to kill all the enemy troops.
Afterwards, Zhao Biao took his troops and stayed at the foot of the mountain. As long as the enemy came down, they would give them a head-on blow.
The Fifth Corps pulled out with vehicles and cleaned up the battlefield.
They cut off the soldiers' heads and piled them in the shape of a pyramid in the open space.
The bodies were thrown into a large natural pit and burned.
On the mountain, Kou Jin and others looked at the Jingguan built by the Yan army below. They were all gritting their teeth in hatred and wanted to fight the Yan army to the death.
But Kou Jin knew that it would be difficult for them to defeat the Yan army on flat ground, so he ordered their troops not to attack.
Zhao Biao sent someone to tell Kou Jin not to be so shameless. If he wanted to live, he should lay down his weapons and surrender. If he sent troops to harass the Yan army again, he would kill as many as he could and cut off their heads to build a Jingguan.
Zhao Biao's arrogant and domineering attitude made the Qian army even more angry.
But there was nothing they could do.
They didn't have much food left. The soldiers who went up the mountain only brought up a small amount, and with the food on their backs, they could only last for two or three days at most.
Most of the food was looted by the Yan army.
Every day they could only smell the aroma of food wafting up from the mountain, their stomachs growling with hunger, and they had to drink porridge to fill their stomachs.
At night, late at night, Kou Jin ordered his army to launch a surprise attack on the Yan army camp.
The Yan army, which was sleeping soundly, had to get up, mount their horses and fight against the enemy.
The Yan army was harassed and furious, with bloodshot eyes.
They have to guard against enemy sneak attacks during the day and fight at night. If this continues, even the strongest person can't stand it.
People who lack sleep for a long time will become irritable and vent all their anger towards the enemy.
After fighting for two hours at night, the Qian army retreated, leaving behind a field of corpses.
The Yan army returned to the camp to rest, and the Fifth Corps went out to harvest the corpses.
However, what Zhao Biao did not expect was that the Qian army would even attack the Fifth Corps that was cleaning up the battlefield.
This behavior is no different from the battle between two armies against the Red Cross in later generations.
He has completely lost all his dignity.
Zhao Biao led his troops out again to attack the enemy, but before he could reach them, the enemy retreated back into the mountains.
Zhao Biao and Zhang Yide were furious and pointed at Qian Jun and cursed him for a long time at the foot of the mountain before returning in disappointment.
During the day, the Qian army attacked four more times, and each time they immediately ran to the mountains after the Yan army assembled.
They had more people and could take turns to harass, but the Yan army had fewer people and could only deal with them tirelessly.
At night, at the hour of Chou, the Qian army came again. Helplessly, the Yan army could only regroup and fight them.
This also resulted in the Yan army having very little sleep every day.
Zhao Biao sent people to urge Guan Shouchang to march over quickly. There were tents and food here, so he could just bring the main force over, and the baggage and food could be left behind and they could march slowly.
After receiving the news, Guan Shouchang immediately ordered a quick march, leaving only 10,000 people to guard the grain and baggage camp, and the others only took weapons and armor and ran to the White Horse Army.
They were only eighty miles away from the battlefield. After a whole day of forced marching, the 300,000-strong army arrived at the battlefield a day ahead of schedule, and it was after dark.
When Zhao Biao heard that people were coming, he was very happy. He pulled Zhang Yide and jumped to welcome Guan Shouchang and others into the general's tent.
The lights in the commander's tent were brightly lit. Guan Shouchang and others sat down one after another. They were all shocked at the miserable appearance of Biqiang and Zhang Yide, whose helmets were crooked, faces were covered in dirt, and eyes were red.
Su Wuan said,
"Old Zhao, it's just a few days of fighting, is it really necessary to be like this?"
Zhao Biao sneered and said expressionlessly,
"Fuck that mother, you go and try it, you haven't slept for three days and three nights, you've been so nervous the whole time.
Every time you just relax and are about to fall asleep, there is a loud bang and the horn blows, and you have to get up and fight immediately.
You go to fight, and the enemy runs away again.
You have to retreat again, and then continue to sit, not daring to sleep, for fear that if you fall asleep you won’t be able to wake up, and the enemy will come in and chop off your head.
We have over 50,000 men, and we can't rest well, nor can we fight to our heart's content. If this continues, we'll be driven mad by the enemy."
Lao Guan said quickly,
"Zhao Biao, Lao Zhang, you've all worked so hard. Just thinking about it is exhausting. You've sacrificed so much and successfully kept the enemy at bay. You've done a great deed.
You guys deserve the lion's share of the credit for this battle."
Zhao Biao shook his head and said,
"We no longer care about whether it's a contribution or not. We asked you to come here before tonight so that the brothers can have a good sleep tonight.
If they are not allowed to sleep, the camp will be blown up. Once the camp is blown up, the entire army will be finished.
You didn't bring any artillery, so you don't have to attack tomorrow. Just watch.
We have to go to sleep, or we'll die."
"Don't worry, if the enemy comes again tonight, we will kill them all without leaving a single one alive.
Leave the defense to me, even if the sky falls, not a single one of the White Horse Army brothers will move."
