On a dimly lit battlefield.

Covered in blood, Chen Sheng rode across the battlefield with one arm raised in the air, looking up to the sky and shouting: "Brothers, we have won! Won a victory!"

Many red-coated soldiers who had not yet been able to escape from the fighting state were instantly overwhelmed by waves of joy when they heard his shouts!

They raised their weapons high and roared at the top of their lungs: "Victory!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

The roar, like a city-burning flame, propelled the red-coated army's momentum straight up!

That childish madness, the smell of fearlessness, and the thousands of soldiers of the Bowang Army crawling on the ground are so familiar, yet so strange...

They buried their heads, as if there was a fire in their hearts that was extinguished.

…

Countless torches and braziers illuminated the huge headquarters of the Bolang Army's partial division.

Chen Sheng held an unsheathed pure Jun sword with an expressionless face, standing on the general-pointing platform, overlooking the red-coated army cleaning the battlefield.

Chen Shou and Chen Dao arranged their respective tasks and worked together to find him.

"What are you going to do with these surrendered soldiers?"

Chen Shou opened his mouth. He stood on the left side of Chen Sheng, looking at the 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers squatting in the center of the camp with their hands tied like chickens and ducks. His eyes were both greedy and worried.

.

He actually wanted to ask Chen Sheng what his plans were next.

But right now, it's obviously not a good time to talk about this.

We can only ask where these surrendered soldiers are going.

No general can resist the temptation of strong soldiers!

Chen Dao stood on the right side of Chen Sheng. Although he did not speak, his face was full of unabashed desire.

These Bolang soldiers are indeed worthy of the reputation of the Bolang Army!

Under the premise that Chen Sheng gave the 50,000 fighting army a sap in advance, 50,000 defeated 50,000, and the red army still barely won!

The Red Army suffered more than 7,000 casualties in this battle!

The Bolang Army suffered more than 9,000 casualties!

The reason why the Bolang Army was defeated so quickly was not because their fighting awareness was not as good as that of the Red Army.

It's that they simply don't know why they are fighting or who they are fighting for.

In such a blind and scattered state, this partial division of the Bolang Army could persist until the battle damage was about to reach 20% before being defeated and surrendered. It is already very, very remarkable!

Chen Sheng has every reason to believe that if Li Xin personally leads this partial division of the Bolang Army to fight, they will definitely be able to withstand huge casualties of less than 50% and fight tenaciously to the end!

After all, they are a powerful army that has grown up in long-term battles with foreign tribes. Their fighting consciousness is definitely not comparable to that of the laxly armed soldiers and forbidden troops in the hinterland of Kyushu!

Of course, the Bolang army fought very bravely!

He's not bad at all in the Red Army either!

This battle is the first battle after the expansion of his red army!

With more than 50% of the new recruits, the Red Army was able to survive the huge casualties of more than 14%, not only to avoid defeat, but also to maintain a strong desire to attack!

To be honest, this result was far beyond Chen Sheng’s expectations!

In his expectation, as long as the red-coated army could hold its ground and not collapse after the battle losses exceeded 10%, all the efforts he poured into the red-coated army would have been in vain!

Why did he take the lead?

Isn't it just to set an example and mobilize the Red Army's enthusiasm for combat?

The result gave him such a big surprise!

He guessed that this might be the difference between having a program and not having one!

Without a program, soldiers can only fight by will!

With a program, soldiers can fight for their beliefs!

…

"They will be sent to your command."

Chen Sheng looked at the two of them from side to side, shook his head and said, "But not now."

Chen Shou didn't take his advice at all, and asked without giving in, "When was that?"

Chen Sheng gave a soft "hmm" and said: "The brothers below risked their lives to fight these surrendered soldiers. When they turned around, these surrendered soldiers became brothers Paoze who were stirring up trouble with them. What do you think?

Is this appropriate? Do brothers understand this?"

"There are also these surrendered soldiers. After all, they are from the Bolang Army. They are high-spirited and look down on us county soldiers!"

"Although we can be regarded as an upright defeat by the Chinese army in this battle, we still used some tricks after all. They must still be a little dissatisfied..."

"Forcing them to be included in our ranks will not only make them unable to command us, but will also disrupt the basic foundation of our Red Army. The gains outweigh the losses!"

Chen Shou and Chen Dao nodded in unison, both feeling that what Chen Sheng said made sense!

But Chen Shou still didn't give up, "How long will it take before we can reorganize these descended soldiers... We don't have much time!"

In the second half of the sentence, he lowered his voice.

Only Chen Sheng and Chen Dao could hear it.

He is just too lazy to use his brain, not really brainless.

Of course, I don’t think that after defeating the 50,000-strong Bolang Army partial division, this matter will be over!

On the contrary, after defeating the 50,000-strong Bolang Army partial division, things have really just begun...

After hearing this, Chen Dao felt extremely heavy in his heart, as if there was an invisible mountain pressing on his heart, making him unable to even breathe.

What do they have?

They only have one county, and with the more than 40,000 surrendered soldiers, the number is less than 100,000!

And what about the court?

Even though the five states of You, Ji, Qing, Xu, and Yang were occupied by Taiping Road, the imperial court still had the land of seven states of Liang, Bing, Si, Yi, Jing, Yu, and Yan!

The Youzhou Army, the Bolang Army, the four Imperial Forbidden Army of Gyeonggi Province, many government soldiers, and county soldiers, totaling more than two million generals!

What are they using to challenge the imperial court?

"You don't have to worry too much!"

Chen Sheng chuckled and said: "At this stage, Taiping Road is the most serious problem for people surnamed Ji. We are not even suffering from scabies!"

"The Youzhou army cannot move!"

"The Bolang Army wants to move, but I'm afraid Taipingdao won't let them move so easily!"

"Except for the soldiers and horses of these two legions, I am not afraid of anyone who comes!"

"Taking a step back, even if the soldiers and horses of these two armies are really coming, or the people surnamed Ji really don't hesitate to give Taiping Road a chance to grow bigger, they will first dispatch a large army to encircle and suppress our Chen County!"

"We can also withdraw from Chen County with our troops and horses, and slowly play with the Ji people with the help of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in Jiuzhou!"

"If you want to kill me, it's not that easy!"

He was smiling, but his eyes were as sharp as a sword.

Sometimes, the hardest thing is actually making a decision and making up your mind.

Once you really make up your mind, things are not that difficult.

Chen Shou nodded numbly: "You have the final say!"

Chen Dao also nodded and agreed: "The general is right!"

Chen Sheng smiled and nodded: "As for these surrendered soldiers... we will treat them the same way we treated the Yangzhou Yellow Turban Soldiers before!"

"First they were broken up and escorted to various counties to dig canals for local people to divert water and dig wells to reclaim wasteland. After two months, they were all brought back to Chen County for a three-month team training!"

"They are still in the shape of the Bolang Army!"

"When they finish the journey of the Yellow Turban Soldiers in Yangzhou, they will transform into the shape of our Red Army!"

After the two of them pondered for a moment.

Chen Dao whispered worriedly: "General, is it too late?"

According to Chen Sheng's plan, it would take five months to reorganize these reduced soldiers, and the court would definitely not give them such a long time.

Chen Shou also whispered: "Can the county's food last for such a long time?"

Chen Sheng's expression remained unchanged and he said calmly: "If you can hold on, you have to hold on. If you can't hold on, you have to find a way to hold on. Even if you want to withdraw from Chen County, you have to wait until this year's autumn harvest before you can retreat!"

He estimated that after this battle was introduced to Luoyi, the imperial court would be furious and would definitely dispatch a large army to fight again!

How could such a high-ranking prince admit defeat so easily?

But as long as they can hurt the imperial court once, the imperial court should send people to recruit them...

Of course, the recruitment is definitely only temporary.

When the imperial court finishes cleaning up Taipingdao, it will deal with him when it has free hands!

How could the high-ranking princes in the court tolerate a merchant's son using such a "rebellious and unethical" method to climb to their level and stand shoulder to shoulder with them?

But the court needed that breather.
