Chapter 317
An hour later, the fighting on the battlefield subsided.

The Huai army and Du Fuwei's troops swept the battlefield together. A large number of soldiers of the former Qin army lost their souls and were taken to the original Song army's camp to guard them.

Whether it was the Han soldiers in the former Qin army or the Hu cavalry, they couldn't see their spirits at all.

Li Qiong sent people to clean up the battlefield of the rear army, and asked the generals under his command to go to the former Qin camp for resettlement according to the king's order.

As if stimulated by the wind, thunder and flames, the sky that was originally shrouded in dark clouds became more and more drowsy, and the pattering rain gradually became heavier.

When the army is outside, they must take shelter in the camp when it rains, so as not to catch cold and cause wind and cold.

If the wind and cold come together, it will easily spread to the army.

Fortunately, Li Qiong brought a lot of cloud carts, and someone has already urged the cloud carts to Hukou to transport a large amount of medicinal materials to prevent the epidemic in the army.

Set up camp, clean up the battlefield, and collect prisoners.

There are a large number of military and Chinese officials to assist, and it is carried out in an orderly manner according to the rules.

"As soon as Deng Qiang died, the military spirit of the former Qin army completely collapsed! These Hu Qi have lost their courage, hehe, the bastards will never dare to show their paws in front of us... This battle king defeated the enemy army, really happy!"

A guerrilla general who was following Li Qiong had a cheerful expression on his face.

On the way to the Huai army camp in the rain, he kept chatting and laughing with a few companions beside him.

"The 20 troops of the former Qin Dynasty were completely annihilated in this battle. Maybe the king will set up a prefecture here soon! However, without the former Qin army, our Wuhe camp may have to be changed from a military town to a prefectural city! "

someone said.

"Wuhe is an important place to blockade the Huaihe River. Even if it is changed to a prefectural city, it will not be so fast!" Another person said.

Hearing this, Li Qiong frowned slightly.

The Wuhe camp was aimed at the former Qin army. If the former Qin army was eliminated, the status of the camp would naturally decline.

Sitting in the big camp and guarding one side alone, it feels really good to have power in hand.

However, Li Qiong had a long-term vision and did not intend to cling to the authority of the Wuhe camp. In contrast, he was more willing to fight with the king.

Among the Huai army, only by making contributions can you be promoted.

He was able to sit in the Wuhe camp at the beginning because Wang Jing had been specially promoted. Li Qiong could only make some small contributions in Wuhe for such a long time. Seeing Zhang Lin and Zhang Guiba's rising status, he was very envious in his heart.

This time, he will take advantage of the opportunity to make contributions in defeating the former Qin army and transfer him away from the Wuhe camp.

Otherwise, he will only become more and more marginalized.

When everyone braved the rain and walked to the Huai army camp, they saw a group of elites pressing down a burly general covered in blood and disheveled hair, walking towards the place where the prisoners were being held.

Li Qiong couldn't help but glanced at the man.

"What a strong suffocation!"

He glanced over, called a Huai army soldier, and asked, "What's the matter with this man?"

The soldier quickly replied: "This man is the enemy general Zhang Hao. He was captured by General Fu not long ago. The king just summoned this man to persuade him to surrender, but this man's attitude is stubborn, so he is temporarily put back in prison for custody..."

Hearing this, Li Qiong looked at the man again.

"Is he Zhang Hao?"

No wonder he was so imposing. After being injured and captured, he still looked like a bound bloodthirsty tiger. Ordinary people would shudder at the first glance of him.

As the chief general of the Wuhe camp, he was across the river from the former Qin army, so he naturally knew the information of the former Qin generals very well.

It's just that in the past, the two armies were separated by the Huaihe River, and there were only small-scale conflicts without major battles.

It was also the first time Li Qiong saw Zhang Hao, and knew the appearance of this formidable enemy.

Just by sensing the opponent's aura slightly, Li Qiong knew that his strength in his heyday was far superior to his own.

"General Fu's ability to capture Zhang Hao alive shows that his strength is still higher than that of Zhang Hao. However, why haven't I heard of the name of General Fu? Could it be a general who just defected to the king?"

Li Qiong pondered while walking in his heart.

When he was about to reach the big tent, he and many generals stopped, and Li Qiong walked into the big tent after the attendant informed him.

At this time, in the big tent, Bu Zhi, Han Xizai, Zhang Guiba, Fu Youde and others were sitting down and reporting the results of the battle.

Li Qiong was about to salute.

I saw Wang Jing wave his hand and ask him to sit directly aside.

After sitting down, Li Qiong heard Bu Zhi's voice echoing in the big tent.

"...In this battle, more than [-] people were beheaded and about [-] were captured. The former Qin general Deng Qiang was beheaded by the king, Zhang Hao was captured alive, and the rest of the former Qin generals died or surrendered. , not counted yet!"

"This battle has won a complete victory. The forces of the former Qin Dynasty have been wiped out in the Jianghuai area. I congratulate the king!"

After Bu Zhi finished speaking, he cupped his hands and saluted.

Wang Jing smiled, and his eyes fell on Li Qiong. The failure to attract Zhang Hao just now did not leave the slightest disturbance in his heart. Although Zhang Hao is a talent, he still cannot compare with Deng Qiang.

He killed Deng Qiang, and if Zhang Hao persisted, he would not be relentless.

"Li Qiong, what's the situation there?"

Li Qiong got up immediately, "report to the king, the last general led the army to defeat the former Qin army, killed more than [-] enemies, and captured [-] prisoners. Tiger Might, was able to win..."

Wang Jing laughed, and said, "It's your ability to take the opportunity to defeat the former Qin army, so don't be humble!"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Du Fuwei and said with emotion: "This battle can be won greatly, and General Du's adopted son has also paid a lot and made a great contribution!"

In this battle, the Huai army won a complete victory, but they also suffered casualties.

The biggest casualties were the elite troops of Du Fuwei, who served as the vanguard of the former army. Kan Leng was bloodied in the fight, and together with Chen Lan and Chen Da, he was the first to enter the enemy's formation.

The meritorious service of the round is enough to rank in the forefront. For this reason, most of the elites led by Kan Leng died in battle.

These elite soldiers and horses are all Du Fuwei's painstaking efforts. In order to win Wang Jing's trust, it can be said that he has paid a lot.

Everyone else said so, Wang Jing naturally couldn't ignore the other party's overtures.

He pondered slightly.

"Since General Du is attached to Gu, he has made great contributions in this battle...Gu's rule has always been that meritorious service must be rewarded, how about it!"

"Du Fuwei!"

Du Fuwei got up quickly, "The end is here!"

"I entrust you as a participating general, leading the rank of general Yunhui, and Wang Xiongdan and Kan Leng as guerrilla generals, following the army and obeying orders!"

Du Fuwei looked happy and thanked him quickly.

The military system of the Huai Army, with [-] participating generals, belongs to the middle and high-level generals at this stage, and the participating generals who wear military honors such as General Yunhui have a higher status than ordinary participating generals.In future battles, you can restrain other generals.

Second only to generals like Zhang Lin and Li Kaifang with general titles.

The [-] soldiers and horses of the Huai army can be compared with the [-] troops under him in terms of strength.

With hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians defecting from Hukou, plus the merits of this battle, receiving such a reward has already exceeded his psychological expectations.
