"Look, our attack just now caused nearly a thousand casualties to the Song army. The Song army was already terrified. Otherwise, they would not have retreated hastily. As long as such attacks are carried out a few more times, they will collapse. We don't need to take human lives to pile up a victory!"

Yang Lie rode over to report: "Your Majesty, the battlefield has been searched once. All the wounded soldiers and horses of the Song army who were not dead were killed, and none of them survived. What should our army do next?"

Zhao Junsheng looked at the corpses all over the ground, "Song General Li Dan is too unkind, he didn't even stop and bury the corpses of the fallen soldiers under his command. I'm not the one who kills and doesn't care about burying. Pass down the order, clean the battlefield, and try to Take back the available arrows! Also, bury the fallen soldiers of our army and the Song army!"

"promise!"

The scouts and guard posts were sent out. The scouts were in charge of scouting the movement of the Song army, and the guards were in charge of surrounding security. The other soldiers began to dismount, some fed the horses, and some began to clean the battlefield.

The soldiers set up a tent nearby, and Zhao Junsheng called several major generals to discuss the next action plan.

"It seems that the Song army should have retreated along the same route. What do you think our army should do next?"

Facing Zhao Junsheng's questioning, several generals became contemplative, Yang Lie clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I think our army should follow and pursue, keep harassing, and wait for the opportunity!"

But Li Bao said: "Your Majesty, there are 300 Dragon Guards escorting them with heavy armor, and even the horses are also heavily armored. I am willing to use these [-] heavy horses to attack the enemy's formation and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

But Zhao Junsheng said: "But these 300 people are still in the camp outside Chengdu. It will take a day to recruit them. Maybe we will have defeated the Song army in a day!"

Two hours later, the battlefield was cleaned up, all the dead soldiers and horses of both sides were buried, and the usable arrows were recycled and re-equipped for the soldiers.

"Report to Your Majesty, the entire army has assembled, please give your Majesty instructions!" Yang Lie reported loudly to Zhao Junsheng.

Zhao Junsheng ordered loudly: "Pass my will, the army will continue to pursue the Song army!"

"According to the order!"

The military order was issued, and the Qian army set out to chase in the direction where the Song army was retreating.

In the morning of the next day, Zhao Junsheng and his cavalry pursued to the high ground where the Song army had stayed in formation. The brigade has continued to retreat in the direction of Longquan Mountain!"

Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect this Li Dan to have the determination of a strong man to cut off his wrists! Yang Lie, send envoys to try to persuade these 2000 people to surrender. I want to see if the [-] Song troops who were left behind are the same!" Have the courage to fight to the death with our army!"

Chapter 988 Famous General Chen Xian

On the high ground, there are many ravines and ravines, fences and fences, and arrow towers are erected on both sides of the trenches. The trenches, behind the fences and on the arrow towers are full of soldiers of the Song Army.

On a watchtower, a sentinel of the Song Army looked into the distance and found several cavalrymen running over from the ranks of the Qianjun. They immediately beat the gong and shouted: "The Qianjun is here!"

A lieutenant of the Qianjun came to the bottom of the highland with four cavalry holding a flag, and the two thousand Liu Song troops stationed on the highland looked at them nervously.

Lieutenant Gan stopped his horse, looked up to the high ground, and shouted loudly: "Listen, Gua Wazi, who is in charge, come out and answer!"

A middle-aged officer in his thirties looked at the lieutenant of the military academy below, turned around and climbed up an archery tower, he said loudly: "Joining the army, Chen Xian is in charge of all the officers and men here, if you have something to say, hurry up and fart!" "

The two thousand Song soldiers guarding here burst out laughing at Chen Xian's words, and each of them looked relaxed, and they all booed: "Speak quickly, let go of farts!"

The junior Ganjun gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "I am Xia Mu, a junior under General Pingnan, and I am here to advise General Chen on the order of my general. The reinforcements from your country have not arrived for a long time, and it is a foregone conclusion that Bashu is under the control of our army. No matter how hard you struggle, you will not be able to reverse the defeat. Using your strength to fight against our army's Tianwei is tantamount to shaking a tree!"

"My general asked the school to tell Chen Canjun and his soldiers that those who know the current affairs are heroes. If you and others surrender to our army, both officers and soldiers will be exempted from crime, and they will all be promoted to a higher level in their original military positions. As for Chen If you join the army, you can serve as the prefect of Berkshire, I don't know what you think?"

These Song Army generals who were left behind to stop the Qianjun were unwilling, because everyone knew that if they stayed, they would die and there was no possibility of survival. Some emotions.

If you can not die, who wants to die?

At least the brains of most of the soldiers of the Song Army here are quite normal!

At this moment, a loud laugh spread from the Song Army's position: "Hahaha..."

The Ganjun Elementary School on the high ground suddenly became annoyed when they heard the wanton laughter, and shouted: "Why is Chen Canjun laughing? Could it be that the conditions given by my general are not generous enough?"

Chen Xian burst into tears with a smile. He raised his sleeves and wiped away the tears, and said loudly and righteously: "A mere official who is promoted to one level can let me put down my weapons and surrender? I, Chen Xian and the loyalty of all the soldiers Festival is too cheap!"

"You are the Gan army, and we are the Song army. Both sides are masters and have different positions. It is understandable to conquer each other, but it is too ridiculous for you to try to persuade us to surrender! Although I, Chen Xian, and the generals are very vulgar, But he also took the imperial salary and military pay. Although he doesn't know etiquette, he also knows shame. We never know betrayal, only know loyalty! We were born in Song Dynasty, and we will die in Song Dynasty! Surrender may be exchanged for I was able to live, but it was just living, humiliating and groveling, living like a dog, I, Chen Xian, don’t want to be the enemy’s dog! Even if I want to die, I will die standing up, and I will never live on my knees!”

Song Jun, who had seen the hope of survival, was a little moved and wanted to surrender, but after hearing Chen Xian's words, they were all ashamed to death, and the blood in their hearts was awakened by Chen Xian.

"It's better to die standing than to live on your knees!" The soldiers of the Song Army raised their weapons and shouted.

"Soldiers and robes, take up your knives, guns, bows and arrows, and crucify me here to buy enough time for the main force of the army to withdraw! We may die, but even if we die, we will die forever! "

The soldiers of the Song Army were full of enthusiasm, and the orderly roar spread from the high ground to all directions: "Kill, kill, kill..."

In the distance, in front of the Qianjun formation, Zhao Junsheng heard this voice, and couldn't help being moved: "If one dies, he will die and leave his name through the ages!"

Yang Lie next to him was also quite shocked: "Your Majesty, this man named Chen Xian still has some courage, and the person who can say this is by no means a mediocre person. His words just now made people who had no confidence in resistance Song Jun's morale suddenly soared to the peak as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, but he turned out to be just one of the soldiers, is the Song court all blind?"

Zhao Junsheng was taken aback, "What did you say his name was?"

"Chen Xian, didn't he just say it himself? What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

Is this Chen Xian the one who joined the army on the right march in Xuanhu City with a thousand defenders to resist Taiwu Emperor Tuoba Tao's 42 army onslaught for [-] days?

Based on Chen Xian’s record in the original history, it can be said that he became famous in the first battle, but his appearance in the history books is only such a stroke, and his name has never appeared in the history books since then, nor has his ending been written. It stands to reason that a person like Chen Xian can be famous all over the world based on his record in that battle, but in fact he fell silent so quickly that he lost any news, and he has no reputation in later generations. This is really puzzling up.

"Oh, it's nothing. This Chen Xian is indeed extraordinary. I admire him very much. I just heard his tone and attitude just now. I'm afraid he won't surrender no matter what. It's a pity!"

Some people attributed Yue Wumu's death to his own stupid loyalty, but if Yue Wumu didn't follow the edict, didn't follow the teacher, but started a rebellion or supported his own self-respect, then he wouldn't be Yue Wumu. Maybe he is just a famous general with few defeats, but he puts life and death aside, it is because of his foolish loyalty that he is respected and admired by all generations, and the future generations will respectfully call him Grandpa Yue!As for those who serve the country with loyalty and loyalty, who can surpass him in the past?

Yang Lie nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, should we pull out this nail first, or..."

Zhao Junsheng thought about it, and said, "Leave a thousand-man team nearby to contain Chen Xian and his two thousand Song troops! The others will follow me to pursue Li Dan's main force!"

"As ordered!"

After Yang Lie clasped his hands in agreement, he immediately made arrangements. A team of one thousand stayed behind, and Zhao Junsheng took the remaining [-] riders to continue chasing the main force of the Song army.

The [-] cavalry who were left behind retreated some distance, half of them left to monitor the Song army on the high ground, and the other half began to set up camp.

Chen Xian saw this scene and was anxious in his heart.

A general next to him asked Chen Xian: "Chen Canjun, it seems that Ganjun doesn't take us seriously at all, what should we do now?"

Chen Xian thought for a while, and ordered: "Don't worry, the general of the army left these thousand cavalry to contain us, and they will deal with us after they solve the main force of our army. We can't do what they want! But it's broad daylight now. , it’s inconvenient to act, wait until after night to talk about it!”

"understand!"

Zhao Junsheng led 2000 cavalry to chase after Li Dan's main force of the Song army. After Li Dan left behind Chen Xian's 6000 troops, there were only more than [-] left.

At Shen Shizheng, Zhao Junsheng's cavalry was about to catch up with Li Dan's army. Li Dan quickly reported to him after spotting the chasing cavalry at the guard post at the rear of the palace.

"General Qi, the cavalry of the Qianjun Brigade are catching up!"

Li Dan frowned, "The Gan army didn't care about Chen Xian's 2000 men, and just caught up? Isn't he afraid of being cut off?"

An official next to him said: "General, the generals of the army should not be so unwise. The subordinates guess that they must have left some troops to contain Chen Xian's troops, and the main force will continue to pursue our army!"
