On this day, both Zhang Chong and his subordinates had only one feeling:
too tired!
Today they went from dawn to Wangqin Peak. They first defeated the Wangqin Peak bandits at the foot of the mountain, and then invaded Dazhai at noon. After only having a full meal, they hurried down the mountain and blocked Fenggao's powerful soldiers in the valley and riverbank. .
This fighting on the riverbank lasted from noon to dusk. In the end, except for some of the Wang family, they broke up and crossed the river. The 500 powerful soldiers who invaded were all gone.
At this time, Zhang Chong was sitting on a dead horse. The soldiers wanted to move a bed, but Zhang Chong waved his hand and refused. Everyone is so tired, why are you still bothering with this matter?
The battlefield after the war was not as noisy and noisy as before, but it was no less brutal.
Everywhere you can see corpses that have been hacked beyond recognition, and they are all naked.
Their clothes had already been snatched away by Zhang Chong's subordinates. These were all confiscated and had to be handed over to the Holy Treasury.
There were still some remnant soldiers who were still alive and wailing on the battlefield. A few alert ones, seeing Zhang Chong's men applying wounds to the remnant soldiers who could not be saved, endured the pain and tried to escape by pretending to die.
But it was no use. The soldiers under Zhang Chong were checking each of the corpses at their feet.
When he saw that he was his own brother, he carried him to the side and buried him; when he saw that he was an enemy soldier, he cut him with a knife and dragged him to the side. Those clever ones who pretended to be dead were all injured by this knife and lost their lives in the end. .
In a corner of the battlefield, there were several people who were in a trance, foolish and wandering around the battlefield. When Zhang Chong's subordinates saw them, they pulled out ropes, tied them up, and moved them to the prison camp behind.
More than 200 powerful soldiers had been surrendered there, and now they were all stripped of their armor and tied up naked in the camp.
In short, the entire battlefield was shocking, and the bloody smell permeating the riverbank was even more nauseating. The corpses of enemy soldiers were scattered all over the place.
Beside, Zhang Chong's men were digging pits to bury the enemy corpses. There were several buried mounds beside them, and strands of hair could be seen through them.
Zhang Chong's men dug out Jinquan from the pile of dead men. Halfway through the battle, the ugly man tripped over a human head and fainted.
But he was lucky enough that he was not trampled to death by the troops on the battlefield. When Ding Sheng heard that Jin Quan was found, he ran over regardless of the injury on his arm.
During the previous post-war inventory, Ding Sheng did not see Jin Quan, thinking that he had died in the battle, and was in great mourning.
At this moment, when Ding Sheng came over, he saw Jin Quan snoring! He was so angry that he kicked Jin Quan in the leg.
This kick directly woke Jin Quan up. He looked at the battlefield blankly, and saw the robes laughing at him, with blank expressions on their faces.
If you faint, just faint, as long as you can survive.
It was getting dark, but before the battlefield was cleared, Zhang Chong's men set up more than a dozen bonfires on the river beach.
At the edge of the Jiangkou camp, the people from the baggage team had already set up large pots and started cooking millet. There were also several large pots stewing horse meat. These were all horses from Wang's cavalry on the battlefield during the day. Two horses died, which was just right for them. Extra meals for the whole army.
In fact, the people in the transport camp also took a fancy to the dead horse that Zhang Chong was sitting on. But when they saw that Zhang Chong was in a daze, no one dared to get on it.
It was Hu Er, an old man from the baggage camp, who came up to Zhang Chong and told Zhang Chong that the brothers were waiting for the horse to have a meal, so Zhang Chong realized it and got out of the way.
In fact, the brothers had already discovered that something was wrong with him since the battle, and he was in a trance. But they were stupid and didn't know what Zhang Chong was thinking, and they didn't know how to persuade him.
In fact, Zhang Chong himself didn't know what he was thinking, he just thought what he was doing!
For example, there was a naked corpse lying at his feet. The fatal injury was caused by a giant axe. It looked like he had been killed by one of his men.
This man was actually not that old, he was probably about the same age as Zhang Chong, and he had no grudge against Zhang Chong. When his parents gave birth to him, they definitely didn’t want him to die on this river beach.
Several subordinates who were collecting enemy corpses came over, and Zhang Chong could call them by name. They signaled to Zhang Chong, and then they carried the young corpse to the pit in front.
On the way, the intestines of this corpse slipped out, but no one took care of it, so they just left it there. Maybe it would be eaten by the birds and beasts in the forest at night.
But this is war. Even if Zhang Chong doesn't want to, and if it conflicts with his three views, he will still do it. It's not that he wants to kill them, but that they want to kill him!
But what Zhang Chong was worried about was that the powerful man who launched the war and wanted Zhang Chong to die was not dead! And the tribesmen who had no enmity or enmity against him, and they were even poor people themselves, were killed by him until they shed rivers of blood.
No one can enlighten Zhang Chong about this, because this is the transformation of an ordinary person into a Christian!
Just when Zhang Chong was thinking about it, Hu Er came over with a piece of stewed horse meat:
"Qu, eat some horse meat!"
Zhang Chong came to his senses, took the horse meat, and took a bite in a daze.
“It smells so good!”
In fact, horse meat is not that delicious, everything is just a change of mood.
Zhang Chong doesn't think about it anymore. Why do you think so much? What can you think about just thinking about it! Things will be done!
Zhang Chong held up the horse meat and greeted the brothers. The brothers who had been paying attention to him saw Zhang Chong's appearance. Everyone felt relieved that their leader was back.
While Zhang Chong and his brothers were eating horse meat and drinking hot soup by the campfire, in a mountain forest five miles away, Wang Kuang and his five tribes were huddled.
They lay on the wet and cold forest floor, without shelter, campfire, or food. The five of them were desperate and silent.
Wang Kuang's horse was targeted by a pack of wolves in the mountains at night. He did not have the courage to fight these beasts, so he had to get out of the way of the horse and secretly retreated with Bu Qu.
Hearing the neighing of the horses behind him, Wang Kuang was in a panic as he was hurting his own kind, wondering if he and others could get out of Mount Tai alive.
There was a song on the side called Xiao Wang. He touched the millet ball on his chest, thought about it and took it out. He dedicated the millet ball to Wang Kuang:
"My lord, eat these millet balls!"
Seeing this millet ball, the eyes of the three tribes next to it were straightened. They swallowed wildly and wanted to grab it immediately. However, their long-term obedience made them dare not reach out.
Wang Kuang saw all this, his eyes changed, and then he smiled:
"How can I say that I have no clothes, and I share the same robe with you? How can I say that I have no millet, and I eat with you? Come to this rice ball and let the five of us share it. Today we are in adversity together, but we can still eat a millet ball together. In the future, we will be rich and honorable together.
How can it be this little millet ball?"
After saying that, Wang Kuang directly divided the millet ball into five parts and gave them to the other four people. Only Xiao Wang who offered the millet ball solemnly took it, while the other three people wolfed down the food like vicious dogs.
Seeing this situation, Wang Kuang sighed and was about to eat what he had, when suddenly there was a burst of laughter outside.
I saw a group of Shanliao men in rags and ragged collars rushing in. The two leaders among them smiled at Wang Kuang and said:
"Wang Kuang, I wonder if my Sun Kang and my younger brother Sun Guan can eat your millet balls?"
